BOARD REPORT
KEY EVENTS
Key events below refer to Exor N.V. and the Holdings System and are related to the First Half 2024.
Investment entity status
Exor changed its reporting from 1 January 2024 as it determined that, at that date, it met the definition of an Investment Entity under IFRS 10. This change was primarily driven by an evolution of Exor's portfolio activity and composition, as well as the implementation of a portfolio review process, guiding capital allocation decisions based on the fair value. In line with IFRS requirements, the change is prospectively applied from 1 January 2024, with a material impact on the presentation of the Half-year Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, with prior period not restated in accordance with IFRS 10. The impacts of this change are presented under the section "Investment entity status" in the Board report and Note 1.1. to Half-year Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
New bond issue
On 14 February 2024 Exor issued bonds for a nominal amount of €650 million with an issue price of 99.371% and a fixed annual coupon of 3.75%, maturing on 14 February 2033. The purpose of the issue was to raise new funds for Exor's general corporate purposes and refinance debt maturing in 2024. The notes are listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange, admitted for trading on the Euro MTF Market, with an A-credit rating assigned by Standard & Poor's.
Investment in Clarivate
On 4 March 2024 Exor announced that it had become a long-term investor in Clarivate, endorsing the strategic direction set out by the company's management and board, with a 10.1% shareholding in the company. Following the investment, the annual general meeting of Clarivate' shareholders held on 7 May 2024, appointed Suzanne Heywood, Exor's COO, in the board of directors of the company.
Support to Juventus' capital increase
On 4 April 2024 Juventus announced that, following the auction of the pre-emptive rights not exercised during the offer period, its capital increase had been fully subscribed. Therefore, funding of the approximately €72 million that Exor had underwritten was not required.
Increase investment in Philips
During the first half of 2024 Exor increased its investment in Philips by €622 million reaching a shareholding of 17.5%. On 7 May 2024, Benoît Ribadeau-Dumas was appointed to Philips' supervisory board.

PROFILE
PROFILE
Exor N.V. ("Exor" or "the Company") is one of Europe's largest diversified investment companies, with a Net Asset Value (NAV) of around €38 billion at 30 June 2024. It is headquartered in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, listed on Euronext Amsterdam and included in the AEX Index.
For over a century, Exor has built great companies. It originated from the holding companies IFI and IFIL that brought together Senator Giovanni Agnelli (the founder of FIAT)'s shareholdings in Fiat and other diversified investments. Exor was formed in 2009 when these holding companies merged.
Exor's portfolio has evolved over the years from a limited number of controlling investments to a larger, globally diversified set of investments in leading companies. The portfolio is principally made up of companies in which Exor is the largest shareholder and where Exor participates in their governance, supporting them in becoming great companies.
Exor is majority owned and controlled by Giovanni Agnelli B.V., the company grouping the descendants of Senator Giovanni Agnelli. This continuity of ownership gives Exor its long-term perspective and has allowed it to preserve its founding culture, which combines entrepreneurial spirit with financial discipline. Today, Giovanni Agnelli B.V., holds approximately 57.07% of the outstanding ordinary shares and 86.29% of voting rights on outstanding capital.
PURPOSE AND VALUES
Exor's purpose is to build great companies in both the public and private sectors. Through doing this, it creates opportunities for talented people, makes a positive contribution to society and delivers superior returns to its investors. It defines great companies as those that not only perform to the highest standards but also are distinctive in what they do, seek renewal and change and act in a responsible way.
Exor's purpose is underpinned by its values, many of which are derived from its history. Each of these are described through two words that are in tension with each other. Finding the right balance between these values is the role of everyone who works for Exor.
| AMBITION & HUMILITY | CURIOSITY & FOCUS |
|---|---|
| We set high aspirations but remain grounded | We seek new ideas while prioritising what matters |
| COURAGE & RESPONSIBILITY | PATIENCE & DRIVE |
| We take bold actions while being mindful of their consequences | We take a long-term perspective but are relentless in getting things done |
Exor helps to build these great companies by creating strong governance that allows diversity of thinking, by fostering cultures with clarity of purpose and by appointing leaders that embody its values.
Through building great companies, Exor aims to deliver superior returns to its investors by outperforming the MSCI World Index. Its portfolio has diversified over time from primarily controlling shareholdings to also include minority shareholdings, and to other asset classes such as venture investments (managed by Exor Ventures) and alternative investment strategies (managed by Lingotto).

EXOR'S PORTFOLIO
Companies
The majority of Exor's portfolio (87% of Gross Asset Value) is made up of its investments in companies. Most of these investments are in global leading companies and all are held for capital appreciation and often for long-term periods in accordance with Exor's portfolio review process.
Exor's four largest companies are listed (Ferrari, Stellantis, CNH and Philips) and they represent 76% of its Gross Asset Value, with the remaining 11% being listed and unlisted companies across different sectors. More details about their performance is provided throughout this report.
To pursue its purpose of building great companies, Exor plays an active role within their governance. To do this, Exor acts as a "critical friend" – encouraging companies to increase their performance on all the dimensions of greatness, while also being supportive when required. It does this both directly through the board positions it occupies and through helping to build strong boards that can provide direction, expertise and challenge to management teams.
BOARD REPORT
Exor is not operationally involved in the day-to-day management of the companies in which it invests, and while it does look for opportunities for companies to share best practices with each other, it does not invest for the purpose of creating cross-company synergies.
Investment approach. Exor looks for investment opportunities in companies that have the potential to be great and where Exor's participation in their governance can accelerate their performance. When opportunities are identified, they are screened using the following investment criteria.
| UNDERSTANDING | PEOPLE | VALUE |
|---|---|---|
| We invest only when we understand | We back talent and look for cultural alignment | We decide based on value not only price |
| ☑ We learn from practitioners who bring deep knowledge | ☑ We believe people are what make the difference | ☑ We assess intrinsic and potential value to invest when the price is right |
| ☑ We form our own opinions and strive to be aware of what we don't know | ☑ We know that behaviours are as important as skills or knowledge |
When considering new investments, Exor takes a long-term perspective and considers the potential contribution of that investment to NAV per share growth as well as its contribution to the portfolio's geographical and sector diversification.
Exor has a systematic approach to monitoring its portfolio of companies. This portfolio review process enables Exor to make informed capital allocation decisions, including increasing or decreasing the capital allocated to a company, acquiring new companies or divesting companies. Exor is not bound by any specific target or criteria regarding its investments such as geographical exposure, sector exposure or the split between listed and private investments or holding periods. Instead, Exor makes its capital allocation decisions in a way that maximises its ability to deliver its purpose of delivering superior returns to its investors by building great companies.
Focus sectors. Exor has prioritised three sectors for future investments although it remains open to investments in new sectors and geographies where there is potential to build great companies.
- Healthcare is a non-cyclical sector with structural tailwinds. It is a large sector with significant inefficiencies where there may be opportunities for Exor to help accelerate innovation and where technology-enabled healthcare solutions can be highly scalable.
- Luxury is a growing and resilient sector with demographic tailwinds and where technology is changing the customer connection and supply chain transparency. Companies in this sector may benefit from Exor's long-term committed capital and experience of family ownership.
- Technology is a sector which is under-represented in Exor's portfolio and has substantial growth potential. Exor has an understanding of high growth technology companies, developed from its Venture investments, and its existing ownership of large operating companies can make it an attractive partner to related technology companies.
Investments
7% of Gross Asset Value is invested in two categories:
- Lingotto is the independent alternative investment manager wholly owned by Exor and was established in May 2023 to deliver attractive long-term returns to its limited partners. Its aim is to constantly challenge conventional thinking to create something exceptional for the long-term.
Lingotto has assembled a unique team of outstanding investment professionals who can express themselves in order to generate outperformance for their clients. At Lingotto they are free to pursue their passion for investing without the bureaucracy of most large organisations, or the loneliness of standalone funds.
BOARD REPORT
Lingotto today has three core investment strategies, each led by a Managing Partner & Chief Investment Officer (CIO) and is selectively expanding. The unifying thread across all of its strategies is a commitment to being curious, courageous, humble and patient. Where appropriate they are comfortable with concentration, illiquidity and volatility, which they view as opportunities rather than risks.
At 30 June 2024, the assets under management (AUM) are ~$5 billion and Lingotto employs over 40 investment and business professionals across London and New York.
The strategies managed by Lingotto through different funds include:
- Intersection comprises two public equity strategies: the Concentrated Long, which is directional, and the Long/Short, which is broadly market neutral. The combined AUM of these strategies is ~$3bn and they invest in global mid and large-cap equities across all sectors. The Lingotto Intersection investment philosophy is fundamental and is based on research intensive bottom-up analysis. The strategies are high conviction, concentrated and have a long-term time horizon.
- Horizon is centered around two synergistic pillars: a fund of funds and a direct co-investment strategy, which primarily focuses on minority investments in private companies. Leveraging a deep network of relationships established over more than two decades, Horizon focuses on uncovering attractive market dislocations and taking advantage of them. The strategy is sector agnostic and invests globally.
-
Innovation focuses primarily on public equities with some investments in private companies. The focus of this concentrated portfolio is on identifying rare structural winners and backing companies leading innovation through exponential technologies and business models. The strategy is built around the knowledge that market returns are driven by just a few outliers with extraordinary characteristics, such as: being backed by secular trends which support explosive growth, having leadership and cultures with unwavering focus on innovation, as well as a visionary understanding of their industry and the capacity to execute. The AUM of the strategy is ~$650 million.
-
Exor Ventures invests in early-stage to late-stage companies, connecting Exor back to its entrepreneurial roots and long history of innovation. The team focuses on discovering exceptional founders who have the ambition to build great companies. Since inception, Exor Ventures has invested $578 million across a balanced portfolio of 100 companies across different sectors (primarily in Mobility, Healthcare, Fintech) and geographies including US, EMEA and APAC.

ACTING RESPONSIBLY
Exor publishes a Sustainability Report that details its approach to sustainability. It has set sustainability targets for itself at holding level and is progressing well against these. It also champions a set of sustainability passions with its companies since it believes that acting responsibly is one of the four attributes of a great company.
Exor's sustainability framework is composed of three parts.
- Foundations: these consist of a set of fundamental sustainable governance procedures, policies and guidelines that companies need to operate with integrity, responsibility and ethics.
BOARD REPORT
- Passions: Exor has identified three passions that it is pursuing, and which it encourages its companies to pursue (alongside their other sustainability priorities). Holding these passions in common means that Exor and the companies in which it invests can learn from each other to increase the total impact of their activities. The three passions are: reducing emissions; education; and diversity and inclusion.
- Communication: Exor expects its companies to communicate their commitments to acting responsibly, to continue to raise the bar for these commitments, and to communicate their progress against them and Exor holds itself accountable in the same way. To help its companies in doing this, Exor encourages cross-company dialogue on all the elements of this framework and sustainability in general.

EXOR PERFORMANCE
PERFORMANCE OF EXOR
Investment Entity Status
At 1 January 2024, Exor determined that it met the criteria of an investment entity as defined by IFRS 10. This standard provides an exemption whereby investment entities need not present consolidated financial statements.
This change was driven primarily by the following two factors: (i) significant change in its portfolio activity and composition, including disposition of certain investments that were not measured and evaluated on a fair value basis; and (ii) evolution of Exor's portfolio review process over time, which now primarily focus on driving capital allocation decisions based on the fair value of Exor's investments.
The change is prospectively applied from 1 January 2024, with a material impact on the presentation of the consolidated financial statements and with first time application in the 2024 First Half Report, with prior periods not restated in accordance with IFRS 10.
Exor believes that this change aligns Exor's reporting and financial disclosures with its business and activities, with NAV and GAV now being equal to IFRS measures (Equity and Total assets, respectively). The terminology in this report which refers to IFRS measures, as well as the definition of Alternative Performance Measures or APM, is presented on page 42 under section "Definitions".
In line with IFRS requirements, Exor applied this change in classification prospectively from 1 January 2024. The investee companies (subsidiaries and associates) were deconsolidated and no longer being equity accounted for but accounted for at fair value with changes recognised in the income statement, while only subsidiaries that provide investment-related support services to the investment entity Exor, and are not investment entities themselves, continuing to be consolidated.
Furthermore, as this change is applied prospectively, Exor recognized, at 1 January 2024, a non-recurring net gain of €11.776 million. In detail, this gain is determined and presented as follows:
- €12,150 million resulting from the difference between the net carrying amount of investments previously consolidated or accounted for using the equity method and their fair value at the date of the change;
- -€374 million resulting from the reversal to the income statement of the OCI reserves of the entities deconsolidated and no longer equity accounted for at 1 January 2024.
NAV and its components at 30 June 2024 are compared to 1 January 2024 to facilitate the understanding and the comparability of measures.
In accordance with IFRS, profit and cash flow measures for the period ended 30 June 2023 have not been restated and they are presented as previously reported under the shortened consolidation criterion (non-IFRS). While the scope of consolidation for the period ended 30 June 2024 and the period ended 30 June 2023 is the same, and some items are comparable like financial income (expenses) and general and administrative expenses, the full and direct comparison between dates or across periods may be inappropriate or not meaningful if not carefully considered in this context because the fair value measurement is prospectively applied from 1 January 2024.
The effect on the opening balances from the application of the investment entity exemption, and the related reclassifications, are indicated in the following table.

(a) Adjusted Operating Profit (Adjusted EBIT) represents operating profit (EBIT) as adjusted for certain income and costs which are significant in nature, expected to occur infrequently, and that management considers not reflective of ongoing operational activities.
(b) Net industrial debt is a non-GAAP financial measure. Net industrial debt is defined as total debt less cash and cash equivalents (Net debt), further adjusted to exclude the debt and cash and cash equivalents related to financial services activities.
(c) Free cash flow from industrial activities is a non-GAAP measure. Free cash flow from industrial activities is defined as cash flows from operating activities less investments in property, plant and equipment (excluding right-of use- asset recognized during the period in accordance with IFRS 16 - Leases), intangible assets and joint venture and excluding the operating cash flow from financial services activities.
(d) Total available liquidity is a non-GAAP measure. Total available liquidity is defined as cash and cash equivalents and the undrawn committed credit lines.
(e) Calculated on the issued share capital.
Key highlights
- Shipments totalled 7,044 units in the six months ended 30 June 2024, up 85 units or 1.2% versus the prior period. The increase mainly registered in Emea and Americas.
- Net revenues for the six months ended 30 June 2024 were €3,297 million, an increase of €394 million or 13.6% (15.9% on a constant currency basis), compared to €2,903 million in the same period of 2023. The change was attributable to the combination of a €356 million increase in cars and spare parts, a €36 million increase in sponsorship, commercial and brand and a €2 million increase in other net revenues.
BOARD REPORT
- EBIT for the six months ended 30 June 2024 was €953 million an increase of €131 million, or 16.0%, from €822 million in the six months ended 30 June 2023, primarily attributable to the combined effects of (i) positive volume impact of €2 million, (ii) €245 million of positive product mix, sustained by the Daytona SP3 and the 499P Modificata, as well as higher contribution from personalizations and positive country mix driven by the Americas, (iii) negative contribution of €28 million from research and development costs, (iv) negative contribution of €40 million from selling, general and administrative costs, (v) positive contribution of €10 million driven by new sponsorships and the partial release of previously recognized car environmental provisions in the United States, partially offset by higher costs due to the Formula 1 in season 14 ranking and (vi) negative foreign currency exchange impact of €58 million (including foreign currency hedging instruments), mainly driven by the depreciation of the U.S. Dollar, the Japanese Yen and the Chinese Yuan compared to the Euro.
- Net Industrial debt at 30 June 2024 was €441 million, compared to €99 million at 31 December 2023. At 30 June 2024 the available liquidity was €1,882 million (€1,722 million at 31 December 2023), including undrawn committed credit lines of €550 million.

BOARD REPORT
(a) Adjusted operating income is a non-GAAP financial measure used to measure performance. Adjusted operating income/(loss) excludes from Net profit/(loss) adjustments comprising restructuring and other termination costs, impairments, asset write-offs, disposals of investments and unusual operating income/(expense) that are considered rare or discrete events and are infrequent in nature, as inclusion of such items is not considered to be indicative of Stellantis's ongoing operating performance, and also excludes Net financial expenses/(income) and Tax expense/(benefit).
(b) Industrial free cash flows is a non-GAAP financial measure used to measure performance. Industrial free cash flows is calculated as Cash flows from operating activities less: cash flows from operating activities from discontinued operations; cash flows from operating activities related to financial services, net of eliminations; investments in property, plant and equipment and intangible assets for industrial activities; contributions of equity to joint ventures and minor acquisitions of consolidated subsidiaries and equity method and other investments; and adjusted for: net intercompany payments between continuing operations and discontinued operations; proceeds from disposal of assets and contributions to defined benefit pension plans, net of tax. The timing of Industrial free cash flows may be affected by the substantive timing of monetization of receivables, factoring and the payment of accounts payables, as well as changes in other components of working capital, which can vary from period to period due to, among other things, cash management initiatives and other factors, some of which may be outside of the company's control.
(c) Industrial net financial position is a non-GAAP measure. Industrial net financial position is calculated as: Debt plus derivative financial liabilities related to industrial activities less (i) cash and cash equivalents, (ii) financial securities that are considered liquid, (iii) current financial receivables from Stellantis or its jointly controlled financial services entities and (iv) derivative financial assets and collateral deposits. Therefore, debt, cash and cash equivalents and other financial assets/liabilities pertaining to Stellantis' financial services entities are excluded from the computation of the Industrial net financial position. Industrial net financial position includes the Industrial net financial position classified as held for sale.
(d) The majority of the liquidity is available to Stellantis treasury operations in Europe and U.S.; however, liquidity is also available to certain subsidiaries which operate in other countries. Cash held in such countries may be subject to restrictions on transfer depending on the foreign jurisdictions in which these subsidiaries operate. Based on the review of such transfer restrictions in the countries in which Stellantis operates and maintains material cash balances, (and in particular in Argentina, in which Stellantis has €1,011 million cash and securities at 30 June 2024 (€686 million at 31 December 2023), Stellantis does not believe such transfer restrictions had an adverse impact on its ability to meet its liquidity requirements at the dates presented above. Cash and cash equivalents also include €320 million at 30 June 2024 (€210 million at 31 December 2023) held in bank deposits which are restricted to the operations related to securitization programs and warehouse credit facilities of Stellantis Financial Services U.S.
(e) Calculated on the issued share capital.
Key highlights
- Shipments totalled 2.9 millions of units in the six months ended 30 June 2024, a decrease of 10% compared to 2023, with North America and the enlarged Europe area leading the way. The increase of 3% registered in the Middle East & Africa compared to the corresponding period in 2023 was primarily due to higher volumes and an improved vehicle mix.
- Net revenues for the six months of 2024 were €85.0 billion, down 14% compared to the six months ended 30 June 2023 (€98.4 billion), primarily attributable to the decline in volume and mix and negative net pricing, in particular in North America and in Europe, where they registered a decrease of respectively 16% and 14%, and a total of €38.4 billion and €30 billion.
- Adjusted operating income for the six months of 2024 was €8.5 billion, down €5.7 billion compared to the six months ended 30 June 2023, primarily due to decreases in North America (down 16%) that reflect lower volumes and negative net pricing, partially offset by favourable nameplate mix.

(a) EBITA represents Income from operations excluding amortization and impairment of acquired intangible assets and impairment of goodwill.
(b) Adjusted EBITA represents EBITA excluding gains or losses from restructuring costs, acquisition-related charges and other items. Restructuring costs are defined as the estimated costs of initiated reorganizations, the most significant of which have been approved by the Executive Committee, and which generally involve the realignment of certain parts of the industrial and commercial organization. Acquisition-related charges are defined as costs that are directly triggered by the acquisition of a company, such as transaction costs, purchase accounting related costs and integration related expenses. Other items are defined as any individual item with an income statement impact (loss or gain) that is deemed by management to be both significant and incidental to normal business activity. This includes the following: litigation costs and settlements in favour of (or against) the company, gains (or losses) on sale of businesses or assets, remediation costs, impairment of assets, portfolio realignment charges, environmental charges and other items which are individually above an amount of €20 million in a quarter, or an individual item which is above €40 million across multiple quarters.
(c) Adjusted EBITDA is defined as Income from operations excluding amortization and impairment of intangible assets, impairment of goodwill, depreciation and impairment of property, plant and equipment, restructuring costs, acquisition-related charges and other items.
(d) Free cash flow is defined as net cash flows from operating activities minus net capital expenditures. Net capital expenditures are comprised of the purchase of intangible assets, expenditures on development assets, capital expenditures on property, plant and equipment and proceeds from sales of property, plant and equipment.
(e) Calculated on the issued share capital.
Key highlights
- Sales increased by 2% on a comparable basis (i.e., excluding the effects of currency movements and changes in consolidation), mainly driven by mid-single-digit growth in Diagnosis & Treatment and low-single-digit growth in Personal Health. Connected Care comparable sales growth was flat.
- Income from operations increased by €354 million, mainly driven by higher earnings, lower restructuring costs and €538 million of insurance income related to the Respironics product liability claims, which was partly offset by a higher provision in relation to the Respironics litigation.
- Adjusted EBITA increased to €882 million and the margin improved to 10.3%.
- Net income increased in comparison with the first half of 2023, mainly driven by higher earnings, insurance income related to the Respironics product liability claims and lower restructuring costs, offset by higher tax expenses and higher provisions.

(a) Adjusted EBIT of Industrial activities under US GAAP is a non-GAAP financial measure used to measure performance. Adjusted EBIT of Industrial Activities under US GAAP is defined as a net income (loss) before: income taxes, financial services results, industrial activities interest expenses, net, foreign exchange gains/losses, finance and non service component of pension and other post-employment benefit costs, restructuring expenses and certain non-recurring items. In particular, non recurring items are specifically disclosed items that management considers rare or discrete events that are infrequent in nature and not reflective of on-going operational activities.
(b) Net Cash (Debt) of Industrial Activities i Net Cash (Debt) is defined as total debt less intersegment notes receivable, cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, other current financial assets (primarily current securities, short-term deposits and investments towards high-credit rating counterparties) and derivative hedging debt. CNH provides the reconciliation of Net Cash (Debt) to Total (Debt), which is the most directly comparable measure included in the consolidated balance sheets. Due to different sources of cash flows used for the repayment of the debt between Industrial Activities and Financial Services (by cash from operations for Industrial Activities and by collection of financing receivables for Financial Services), management separately evaluates the cash flow performance of Industrial Activities using Net Cash (Debt) of Industrial Activities.
(c) Free cash flow of industrial activities is computed as consolidated cash flow from operating activities less: cash flow from operating activities of Financial Services; investments of Industrial Activities in assets sold under operating leases, property, plant and equipment and intangible assets; change in derivatives hedging debt of Industrial Activities; as well as other changes and intersegment eliminations.
(d) Calculated on the issued share capital.
Key highlights
- Net revenues were $10,306 million in the six months ended 30 June 2024, a decline of 13.5% (down 13.2% on a constant currency basis) compared to the six months ended 30 June 2023. Net revenues of Industrial Activities were $8,934 million in the six months ended 30 June 2024, a decline of 16.7% (down 16.5% on a constant currency basis) compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023. This decline was mainly due to lower shipment volumes on decreased industry demand and dealer inventory requirements. Price realization continued to be modestly favorable for Agriculture and essentially flat for Construction.
BOARD REPORT
- Adjusted EBIT of Industrial Activities was $941 million in the six months ended 30 June 2024, compared to an adjusted EBIT of $1,377 million in the six months ended 30 June 2023. The decrease was primarily due to lower volume in the Agricultural segment on lower industry demand, partially offset by improved purchasing and manufacturing costs, along with a continued reduction in SG&A expenses.

(a) On 14 March 2024, during its Capital Markets Day, Iveco Group released a new segment reporting structure for its Continuing Operations, expanding its reportable segments from three segments (Commercial & Specialty Vehicles, Powertrain and Financial Services) to five reportable segments (Truck, Bus, Defence, Powertrain and Financial Services). The Truck, Bus and Defence business units, along with the Fire Fighting business unit (now reported as Discontinued Operations), were previously part of the Commercial and Specialty Vehicles segment. The following data reflects the new reporting structure. Comparative data has been recast to conform to the current year presentation.
(b) Adjusted EBIT is a non-GAAP measure. Adjusted EBIT is defined EBIT before restructuring costs and non-recurring items. In particular, non-recurring items are specifically disclosed items that management considers rare or discrete events that are infrequent in nature and not reflective of on-going operational activities.
(c) Free cash flow of industrial activities is a non-GAAP measure. Free cash flow of industrial activities refers to Industrial Activities, only, and is computed as consolidated cash flow from operating activities less: cash flow from operating activities of financial services, investments of Industrial activities in property, plant and equipment and intangible assets; as well as other changes and intersegment eliminations.
(d) Net cash/(debt) of industrial activities is a non-GAAP measure. It is defined as total Debt plus derivative liabilities, net of Cash and cash equivalents, derivative assets and other current financial assets (primarily current securities, short term deposits and investments towards high-credit rating counterparties) and financial receivables from CNH Industrial deriving from financing activities and sale of trade receivables.
(e) Available liquidity is a non-GAAP measure. Available liquidity is defined as cash and cash equivalents, including restricted cash, undrawn medium-team unsecured committed facilities, other current financial assets (primarily current securities, short-term deposits and investments towards high-credit rating counterparties) and financial receivables from CNH Industrial deriving from financing activities and sale of trade receivables.

BOARD REPORT
Key highlights
- Net revenues of Iveco Group were €7,286 million in the six months ended 30 June 2024, a decrease of €200 million compared to the six months ended 30 June 2023. Net revenues of Industrial Activities were €7,102 million in the six months ended 30 June 2024, a decrease of 3.3% compared to the six months ended 30 June 2023, due to lower volumes, negative mix and an adverse foreign exchange impact, partially offset by a positive price realization.
- Adjusted EBIT of Industrial Activities was €465 million for the six months ended 30 June 2024, compared to €422 million for the six months ended 30 June 2023. The increase was mainly due to continuously positive price realization and lower product costs, partially offset by lower volumes and mix and adverse foreign exchange impact.

- Adjusted EBITDA of $511 million decreased 5.0%; Adjusted EBITDA margin of 40.2% decreased 120 basis points primarily due to lower revenues.
BOARD REPORT
- Net cash provided by operating activities of $302 million for the six months ended 30 June 2024 decreased $88 million compared to the prior year period, primarily due to timing differences in working capital. Free cash flow for the six months ended 30 June 2024 was $172 million, a decrease of $101 million compared to the prior year period, primarily due to lower operating income and increased capital expenditure.

INSTITUT MERIEUX
Sector: Healthcare / Exor's stake: 3.6%, with agreement to reach 10% / Fair value at 30 June 2024: €817 million / FY ending: December 31st
BOARD REPORT
Performance
Institut Mérieux's performance this year has been mainly driven by the market performance of bioMérieux (their largest company representing more than 80% of the portfolio). Other companies include Transgene (listed), Mérieux Nutrisciences, and Mérieux Développement (all private). In January 2024, Institut Mérieux simplified its portfolio by completing the disposal of ABL Europe to Oxford Biomedica.
bioMérieux reported solid growth in 1H 2024, with sales of €1.9 billion, an organic growth of 9.9% versus the same period of the previous year. 1H 2024 sales showed a strong momentum in clinical microbiology (+9%) and BIOFIRE® non-respiratory panels (+19%) combined with a solid growth in industrial applications (+7%). Contributive operating margin was 16.1% of sales, a 155 bps increase compared with 1H 2022 on a like-for-like basis (at constant exchange rate and scope of consolidation).
Valuation
In July 2022 Exor signed an agreement with Institut Mérieux to acquire a 10% shareholding in the company for a total investment of €833 million. A consideration of €278 million, corresponding to one third of the total investment, was immediately paid at closing by way of a reserved capital increase. The remaining amount has been contributed in July 2024.
The fair value at 30 June 2024 equal to €817 million includes (i) the €278 million contributed in July 2022, valued at 30 June 2024 based on official market prices for listed assets and fundamental valuation for private assets determined by a third-party, equal to €262 million plus (ii) the €555 million corresponding to the remaining capital not yet contributed at 30 June 2024.

Sector: Luxury / Exor's stake: 24.0% / Fair value at 30 June 2024: €575 million / FY ending: August 31st
Performance
Christian Louboutin continued diversifying its product portfolio in a sector that remains challenging in 2024. After a first half of the year that showed a slowdown in sales, the company's performance improved significantly, its strong presence on the US market and low presence in China allowing it to be less exposed to the downturn in Asia.
Valuation
The fair value at 30 June 2024 of Exor's shareholding is equal to €575 million. This fair value has been determined by a third-party valuation and is based on a valuation methodology consisting of a trading multiple analysis based on a selected group of publicly traded companies operating in the soft luxury segment.

Sector: Technology - TransitTech / Exor's stake: 17.4% / Fair value at 30 June 2024: €531 million / FY ending: December 31st
Performance
Via Transportation continued to see strong momentum in the business in H1 2024, with reaccelerating revenue growth and record deal bookings in the first half of the year. Regional network effects – communities located nearby existing Via deployments adopting the Via platform – continued to be a powerful driver of growth as the company had several wins in markets where they already had a large presence such as Snohomish County in the greater Seattle area, Ann Arbor and Lansing in Michigan, and Valley Transit Authority in Santa Clara, California. The business has also grown its large-scale opportunities such as a new corporate partnership with ASML, the world's leading manufacturer of chip-making equipment, who selected Via to power campus transportation across their nearly 40 campuses in the Netherlands. Via ended H1 2024 with an annualized revenue run-rate of over $318 million and continued to execute on its profitability plan.
BOARD REPORT
BOARD REPORT
Valuation
The fair value at 30 June 2024 of Exor's shareholding equal to $568 million ($568 million at 31 December 2023) is determined by a third-party valuation and is based on a market-approach valuation, which is in line with price of the latest financing round (February 2023).
The fair value in Euro at 30 June 2024 is equal to €531 million (€514 million at 31 December 2023) and has increased by approximately 3% including currency effects.
The Economist
Sector: Media / Exor's stake: 34.7% / Fair value at 30 June 2024: €407 million / FY ending: March 31st
Performance
The Economist Group reported FY 2024 revenues equal to £367.0 million, declining by 3% (in line at constant currency) for the twelve months ending 31 March 2024 compared with the prior year. Total subscription numbers at The Economist increased slightly to over 1.2 million subscribers, with the respective business division seeing its revenue grow by 7%. More than 65% of subscriptions to The Economist are digital-only, compared with 35% four years ago.
Economist Impact, with its client-facing Partnerships and Events functions, is the most exposed business segment to the economic cycle, and it felt this year's headwinds the most, with revenue declining by 16% to £99.1 million. Economist Intelligence, which brings together the company's capabilities in datasets, forecasting and analysis, delivered a 1% increase in revenue at constant currency and continued to maintain its highly respected position in the industry while also receiving awards recognition.
Operating profit for the twelve months ending 31 March 2024 was £47.4 million, 12% higher than last year. This reflects company's focus to manage operating costs and the benefits from its planned investments coming to fruition.
Reflecting The Economist Group's financial performance during the year, the Board proposed a final dividend of 120.0p per share, taking the full-year dividend to 160.0p per share, which represents dividend cover of 1.1 times and an annual yield of 5.1% on the year-end indicative share price of £31.50.
Valuation
The fair value at 30 June 2024 of Exor's shareholding equal to £345 million (£334 million at 31 December 2023) has increased by 3% and it is based on a third-party valuation including (i) a selected group of publicly traded companies with similar characteristics to the Group and (ii) discounted cash flow analysis.
The fair value in Euro at 30 June 2024 is equal to €407 million (€384 million at 31 December 2023) and has increased by 6% including currency effects.
Welltec
Sector: Technology solutions for energy industry / Exor's stake: 47.6% / Fair value at 30 June 2024: €329 million / FY ending: December 31st
Performance
Welltec continued to deliver record results in 2023 both in terms of revenue and profitability and to demonstrate industry-leading growth and margins. Revenue and EBITDA grew by 25% and 32% year on year to $435 million and $230 million (53% margin), respectively, with net profit increasing from $65 million to $106 million. A strong cash flow generation has allowed the company to reduce its leverage ratio from 3.0x to 0.7x, leading to an upgrade by the credit rating agencies.
Performance has been driven by favourable market conditions with a growing spend in the oil and gas industry, coupled with Welltec's superior technology offering. This has driven revenue and earnings growth significantly higher than peers as clients increasingly select best-in-class products and services.
Valuation
The fair value at 30 June 2024 of Exor's shareholding equal to $352 million ($309 million at 31 December 2023) has increased by 14% as a result of increased profitability and cash generation. The fair value has been determined by a third party valuation and is based on a blended valuation methodology consisting of (i) trading multiple analysis based on a selected group of publicly traded companies operating in the oilfield service industry and (ii) illustrative discounted cash flow analysis based on a steady-growth model.
The fair value in Euro at 30 June 2024 equal to €329 million (€280 million at 31 December 2023) has increased by 18% including currency effects.

Alternative performance measures
The management of the Exor has identified a number of Alternative Performance Measures (APM) to measure the Company's financial performance and financial position, which form the basis for capital allocation decisions. Management uses these non-IFRS measures to describe its operations, as well as make decisions regarding future spending, resource allocations and other operational decisions. APM are presented to the financial community to facilitate their understanding of the performance of Exor, and are in line with the industry.
To ensure that the APM are correctly interpreted, it is emphasized that these measures are not indicative of future performance. These non-IFRS financial measures have no standardized meaning under EU-IFRS, are unaudited and are unlikely to be consistent and comparable to measures used by other companies. APM are not intended to be substitutes for measures of financial performance and financial position as prepared in accordance with EU-IFRS.
Where applicable, the APM have been consistently calculated and presented for all the reporting periods for which financial information is presented in this report.
Exor applies the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) guidelines to present APM, which correspond to financial measures other than a financial measure defined or specified in the applicable financial reporting framework (IFRS).
For the alternative performance measures used by any of our investee companies, reference is made to the annual reports of these companies.

BOARD REPORT
Shortened consolidation criterion
Until 31 December 2023, to facilitate the understanding of its economic and financial performance, and in line with previous years, Exor prepared an alternative presentation of financial data (shortened consolidation criterion) recognized by the financial community.
Using the shortened consolidation criterion, rather than the line-by-line method of consolidation required by law and under IFRS 10, the data derived from the financial statements or accounting data prepared in accordance with IFRS by Exor and certain subsidiaries that provided services to the Parent Exor were consolidated using the line-by-line method, while the data derived from the financial statements or accounting data prepared in accordance with IFRS by the operating subsidiaries and associates (e.g. Ferrari, CNH, Iveco Group, Stellantis) were included using the equity method. This method did not fully represent, nor should be treated as, the consolidated financial position of the Group prepared in accordance with IFRS. It was not contemplated in the reference accounting standards and was not audited by the independent auditors of the Company. For a complete understanding of the basis of preparation of the shortened consolidation criterion, please refer to the Board Report included within the 2023 Annual Report.
Following the adoption of the investment entity exemption in accordance with IFRS 10, the scope of consolidation for the period ended 30 June 2024 is align with that for the period ended 30 June 2023.

HALF-YEAR CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AT 30 JUNE 2024
NOTES TO THE HALF-YEAR CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. General information on the activities of the Group
EXOR N.V. ("Exor" or the "Company" and together with its consolidated subsidiaries the "Exor Group" or the "Group"), was incorporated as a public limited company (naamloze vennootschap) under the laws of the Netherlands on 30 September 2015 and in 2016 became the holding company for the Exor Group following the cross-border merger with EXOR S.p.A. (the "Merger").
Exor is one of Europe's largest diversified holding companies and is controlled by Giovanni Agnelli B.V. which holds approximately 57.07% of its economic rights and 86.29% of its voting rights.
1.1 Investment entity status
At 1 January 2024, Exor N.V. determined that it met the criteria of an investment entity as defined under IFRS 10 – Consolidated Financial Statements. This standard provides an exemption whereby an investment entity need not present consolidated financial statements if it satisfies the following three cumulative criteria:
- obtains funds from one or more investors for the purpose of providing those investor(s) with investment management services;
- commits to its investor(s) that its business purpose is to invest funds solely for returns from capital appreciation, investment income, or both;
- measures and evaluates the performance of substantially all of its investments on a fair value basis.
This change was driven primarily by the following two factors: (i) significant change in its portfolio activity and composition, including disposition of certain investments that were not measured and evaluated on a fair value basis; and (ii) evolution of Exor's portfolio review process over time, which now primarily focus on driving capital allocation decisions based on the fair value of Exor's investments. Exor's classification as an investment entity derives from these gradual changes, notably the evolution of its portfolio composition from controlling to minority shareholding, as well as the allocation of a significant amount of resources into funds and venture investments.
In line with IFRS requirements, Exor applied this change in classification prospectively from 1 January 2024, with the following material impacts on the presentation of the consolidated financial statements:
- subsidiaries that do not provide investment-related support services to the investment entity Exor are no longer consolidated on a line-by-line basis and accounted for at fair value with changes recognised in the income statement;
- investments over which Exor exercises significant influence on financial and business decisions but does not have majority control, or in which it exercises joint control, are no longer equity accounted and accounted for at fair value with changes recognised in the income statement;
- subsidiaries that provide investment-related support services to the investment entity Exor and are not investment entities themselves remain consolidated on a line-by-line basis.
As this change is applied prospectively, Exor recognized, at 1 January 2024, a non-recurring net gain (€11,776 million). In detail, this gain is determined and presented as follows:
- €12,150 million resulting from the difference between the net carrying amount of investments previously consolidated or accounted for using the equity method and their fair value at the date of the change, included in the item "Change in fair value on investment activities";
- -€374 million resulting from the reversal of the OCI reserves of the entities deconsolidated and no longer equity accounted for, included in the item "Other income (expense), net".

2. Basis of preparation and significant accounting policies
Authorization of Half-Year Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and compliance with International Financial Reporting Standards
The accompanying Half-Year condensed consolidated financial statements together with the notes thereto (the "Half-Year Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements") of Exor at 30 June 2024 were authorized for issuance on 24 September 2024 and have been prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") and as adopted by the European Union (EU-IFRS). The designation "IFRS" also includes International Accounting Standards ("IAS"), as well as all interpretations of the IFRS Interpretations Committee ("IFRIC").
The Half-Year Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, which have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 – Interim Financial Reporting, do not include all of the information and notes required for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the audited annual consolidated financial statements at and for the year ended 31 December 2023 included within the 2023 Annual Report (the "Exor Consolidated Financial Statements at 31 December 2023").
Given the change in Exor's classification to an investment entity under IFRS 10 starting from 1 January 2024, some accounting policies are no longer applicable, as they related to items deconsolidated. The applicable accounting principles and methods are presented in this note below, while for those used for the comparative figures to these financial statements, please refers to the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements at 31 December 2023, Note 2 Basis of preparation and significant accounting policies.

HALF-YEAR CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AT 30 JUNE 2024
While the investment entity adoption does not represent a change in accounting standards, this change in status has fundamentally altered how Exor prepares, presents and discusses its financial results relative to periods ending on or before 31 December 2023. Accordingly, users of this Half-Year Report and the consolidated financial statements to which it relates should exercise significant caution in reviewing, considering and drawing conclusions from period-to-period comparisons and changes. Exor is required to provide comparative financial statements and to discuss in the accompanying Report the current and prior period information and the changes therein. However, the change in Exor's investment entity status and, as a result, the presentation of its financial results can cause direct comparisons between dates or across periods to be inappropriate or not meaningful if not carefully considered in this context. In accordance with IFRS, prior periods have not been restated to reflect the change in Exor's investment entity status.
Basis of preparation
The Half-Year Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared on the going concern assumption under the historical cost convention, except where the use of fair value is required for the measurement of subsidiaries that do not provide services to the parent company Exor and are not investment entity themselves, associates, certain financial assets and liabilities, as well as derivatives.
The Group's presentation currency is the Euro, which is also the functional currency of the Company and, unless otherwise stated, information is rounded and presented in millions of Euro. In certain cases, this rounding may lead to a slight difference in totals and variations.
Format of the financial statements
Starting from 1 January 2024, in accordance with the prospectively adoption of the IE exemption, the statement of financial positions is prepared presenting assets and liabilities in increasing order of liquidity since this presentation provides reliable and more relevant information compared to a current and non-current classification. The income statement is presented using a classification based on the nature of the expenses. The prior period balances have not been reclassified in accordance with IFRS.
As permitted by IAS 1 paragraph 60, the statement of financial position was previously presented using a mixed format for the presentation of current and non-current assets and liabilities. The Consolidated Financial Statements included both industrial activities companies and financial services companies. Receivables from financing activities of the financial services companies of CNH Industrial, Iveco Group and Ferrari were included in current assets, as the investments would be realised in their normal operating cycle. However, such financial services structure within the Group did not allow the separation of financial liabilities funding the financial services operations (whose assets are reported within current assets) and those funding the industrial activities operations. Presenting financial liabilities as current or non-current according to their date of maturity would not have facilitated a meaningful comparison with financial assets, which were classified according to their normal operating cycle. Disclosure of the due dates of financial liabilities were however provided in the notes.
The income statement was presented using a classification based on the function of expenses, rather than a presentation based on the nature of expenses, as it was more representative of the format used for internal reporting and management purposes by the main operating subsidiaries like CNH Industrial, Iveco Group and Ferrari and consistent with international practice.
In addition, the first application of the investment entity exemption resulted in the inclusion of new specific line items in the statement of financial position and in the income statements. Furthermore, certain line items within the prior periods' statements of financial position have been reclassified to other line items to better reflect the presentation of Exor as an investment entity. Except for the non-recurring net gain accounted for at 1 January 2024, as described in Note 1.1, Investment entity status, these reclassifications had no effect on the Group's consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
The statement of cash flows is presented using the indirect method. Proceeds from sale of investee companies and other investments, payments on acquisition investee companies and other investments, changes in loans and other assets, dividends, capital repayments from investees and interest received have been classified as cash flows from operating activities, because the investment activities are the Group's principal activities.

Use of accounting estimates and management's assumptions
The preparation of the Half-Year Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets, liabilities and can have an impact on the information contained in the notes to the financial statements. The estimates and related assumptions are based on elements that are known when the financial statements are prepared, on historical experience of Exor and on any other factors that are considered to be relevant. Due to the currently unforeseeable global consequences of current macroeconomic and geopolitical issues, these estimates and assumptions are subject to increased uncertainty. Actual results could differ materially from the estimates and assumptions used in preparation of these Half-Year Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed periodically and if the items subject to estimates do not perform as assumed then the actual results could differ from the estimates, which would require adjustment accordingly. The effects of any changes in estimate are recognized in the income statement in the period in which the adjustment is made, or also in future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
The principal items affected by estimates are equity investments at FVTPL and at FVTOCI (in particular in unlisted entities), other investments at FVTPL and financial receivables from related parties.
Judgment was required when determining whether Exor, the parent company, meets the definition of an investment entity as defined under IFRS 10. Specifically, Exor management applied significant judgment when assessing whether Exor satisfies the three cumulative criteria as reported in Note 1.1. above.
If in the future such estimates and assumptions, which are based on management's best judgment at the date of the Half-Year Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, deviate from the actual circumstances, the original estimates and assumptions will be modified as appropriate in the period in which the circumstances change.
These Half-Year Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include all updates of estimates and assumptions considered necessary by management to fairly state Exor's results of operations, financial position and cash flows, also take into account the application of the investment entity exemption in accordance with IFRS 10. See Note 2 "Basis of preparation and significant accounting policies", paragraph "Use of estimates", in the Exor Consolidated Financial Statements at 31 December 2023 for a description of the significant estimates, judgments and assumptions at that date.
Exor is exposed to operational financial risks such as credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk, mainly relating to exchange rates and interest rates. These Half-Year Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements do not include all the information and notes about financial risk management required in the preparation of annual financial statements. Exor believes that the risks and uncertainties identified are in line with the main risks and uncertainties to which Exor is exposed and that were presented in the Consolidated Financial Statements at 31 December 2023. For a detailed description of this information, see the "Risk factor" section and Note 34 "Qualitative and quantitative Information on financial risks" of Exor Consolidated Financial Statements at 31 December 2023. Those risks and uncertainties should be read in conjunction with this Half-Year Report, including its notes and disclosures. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known or that are currently judged to be immaterial may also materially affect the Group's business, financial condition or operating results.
Basis of consolidation
At 1 January 2024, Exor consolidated financial statements are prepared by applying the investment entity exemption provided for in IFRS 10 (see Note 1.1) and therefore only those subsidiaries whose purpose and business consist in providing services relating to investment activities of the parent company Exor, and are not investment entities themselves, are fully consolidated. The financial statements of subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting year as the parent company Exor, using consistent accounting policies.
Exor investee companies that are: 1) controlled; 2) in which Exor exercises significant influence on financial and business decisions but does not have majority control; 3) in which Exor exercises joint control, are not fully consolidated but measured at fair value through profit or loss.
Considering the change in Exor's classification as an investment entity, the new consolidation scope is reported in Note 3 Scope of consolidation.
HALF-YEAR CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AT 30 JUNE 2024
HALF-YEAR CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AT 30 JUNE 2024
Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are entities over which the parent company Exor has direct or indirect control. Control is achieved when the Group has power over the investee, when it is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the investee, and has the ability to use its power over the investee to affect the amount of the investor's returns. The Group considers all the facts and circumstances in determining whether it controls an entity when it owns less than the majority of the voting rights or similar rights of the entity. Consolidated subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group and cease to be consolidated from the date on which control is transferred out of the Group. Where control of a subsidiary ceases, its results are only included for the part of the reporting year during which the Group had control over the subsidiary. The Group reassesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the elements of control, as indicated in paragraph 7 of IFRS 10.
At 31 December 2023, all subsidiaries were consolidated on line-by-line basis. At 1 January 2024, the deconsolidation of the operating subsidiaries whose purpose and business does not consist in providing services relating to investment activities of the parent company Exor determined a non-recurring net gain (€15,075 million), resulting from the difference between the net carrying amount of investments previously consolidated and their fair value at the date of the change.
Subsidiaries that are either dormant or generate a negligible volume of business, are not consolidated. Their impact on the Group's assets, liabilities, financial position and result is immaterial.
Associates
Associates are entities over which the Group has significant influence, as defined in IAS 28 – Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures. Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee but without control or joint control over those policies.
At 31 December 2023, associates were accounted for using the equity method. At 1 January 2024, electing the fair value policy choice in accordance with IAS 28, the associates were no longer equity accounted, determining a non-recurring net loss (€2,925 million), resulting from the difference between the net carrying amount of investments previously accounted for using the equity method and their fair value at the date of the change.
Investments in other companies
Investments in other companies are measured at fair value. The initial election to present subsequent changes in the investment's fair value in other comprehensive income upon the initial recognition of an equity investment that is not held to sell made by Exor on an investment-by-investment basis remains irrevocably. Therefore, current equity investments in other companies accounted for at fair value through other comprehensive income remain unchanged, while all new investments, other than subsidiaries providing services that relate to the investment company's activities, are measured at fair value through profit or loss from 1 January 2024, in accordance with IFRS 9. Equity investments for which there is no quoted market price in an active market and insufficient financial information to determine fair value are measured at cost as an estimate of fair value, as permitted by IFRS 9. Starting from 1 January 2024, dividends received from these investments are included in the item Dividend income (in the item Results from investments until 31 December 2023).
Transactions eliminated in consolidation
All significant intragroup balances and transactions and any unrealized gains and losses arising from intragroup transactions are eliminated.
Foreign currency transactions
The functional currency of the Group's entities is the currency of their primary economic environment. In individual companies, transactions in foreign currencies are recorded at the foreign exchange rate prevailing at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the balance sheet date are translated at the exchange rate prevailing at that date. Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items or on reporting monetary items at rates different from those at which they were initially recorded during the period or in previous financial statements, are recognized in the income statement.
Consolidation of foreign entities
All assets and liabilities of subsidiaries with a functional or reporting currency other than the Euro are translated using the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. Income and expenses are translated at the average exchange rate for the period. Translation differences resulting from the application of this method are classified as equity until the disposal of the investment. Average rates of exchange are used to translate the cash flows of foreign subsidiaries in preparing the consolidated statement of cash flows.
The goodwill, assets acquired and liabilities assumed arising from the acquisition of entities with a functional currency other than the Euro are recognized in the functional currency and translated at the exchange rate at the acquisition date. These balances are subsequently retranslated at the exchange rate at the balance sheet date.
The principal exchange rates used to translate other currencies into Euro for the First-Half report 2024 are as follows:
| H1 2024 | ||
|---|---|---|
| Average | 30 June | |
| U.S. dollar | 1.081 | 1.071 |
| British pound | 0.855 | 0.846 |
| Japanese yen | 164.460 | 171.940 |
The principal exchange rates used to translate other currencies into Euro for the First-Half Report 2023 were as follows:

| Turkish lira(2) | 32.603 | 28.179 | 28.179 |
(1) Starting from 1 July 2018, Argentina's economy was considered to be hyperinflationary. From that date, transactions for entities with the Argentine peso as the functional currency were translated using the closing spot rate.
(2) Starting from 2022, Turkey's economy was considered to be hyperinflationary. With effect from 1 January 2022, transactions for entities with the Turkish lira as the functional currency were translated using the closing spot rate.
Iveco Group and CNH Industrial apply IAS 29 – Financial reporting in hyperinflationary economies for subsidiaries that prepare their financial statements in a functional currency of a hyperinflationary economy. According to this standard, non-monetary assets and liabilities not yet translated into the respective group's reporting currency at the reporting date are redetermined using a general price index. The financial statements of these subsidiaries are then translated at the closing spot rate.

HALF-YEAR CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AT 30 JUNE 2024
Seasonality of the business
The economic figures related to six months ended 30 June 2023 included Juventus activities that were affected by the highly seasonal nature of its business. In particular the financial year of Juventus does not coincide with the calendar year but covers the period 1 July – 30 June, which corresponds to the football season. Economic performance is characterized by the highly seasonal nature typical of the sector, determined mainly by the calendar of football events (to which the main revenue items are related and recognized in the income statement) and by the phases of the players' Transfer Campaign, carried out during the first phase (usually in July and August) and the second phase in January, which can result in significant economic and financial effects at the beginning and during the course of the season. The main cost items not referable to individual football events (such as players' wages and amortization relative to registration rights) are instead recorded in the income statement on a straight-line basis.
Fair value measurement
IFRS 13 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place in the principal or, in its absence, the most advantageous market for the asset or liability.
The fair value of financial instruments traded on an active market is based on the market prices listed on the closing date. In estimating the fair value of asset and liability not traded on an active market, the Group uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximizing the use of relevant observable inputs and minimizing the use of unobservable inputs.
Valuation techniques include, among others, using recent at arm's length transactions, reference to the current market value of another instrument that is substantially the same, forward or trailing revenue or profit multiples, future expected discounted cash flow analysis and option pricing models, making as much use of available and supportable market data as possible. When performing a valuation based on multiples, consideration is given to differences in size, historic growth, profitability and cost of capital. Additional information about fair value, fair value hierarchy, valuation techniques and inputs used in determining the fair value of assets and liabilities is provided in Note 34 and, where required, in the individual notes relating to the assets and liabilities whose fair values were determined.
In addition, fair value measurements are categorized within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the degree to which the inputs to the fair value measurements are observable and the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety:
- Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement dated;
- Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices) on the market;
- Level 3: inputs that are not based on observable market data.
Financial assets and other investment at fair value through profit or loss
Financial assets primarily include debt securities and other investment that represent temporary investments of available funds and do not satisfy the requirements for being classified as cash equivalents, as well as derivative financial instruments.
Other investment at fair value through profit or loss primarily consist of investment in funds.
Classification and measurement
The classification of a financial asset is dependent on the company's business model for managing such financial assets and their contractual cash flows. The company considers whether the contractual cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest that are consistent with a basic lending arrangement. Where the contractual terms introduce exposure to risk or volatility that are inconsistent with a basic lending arrangement, the related financial assets are classified and measured at fair value through profit or loss ("FVTPL").
| Financial asset cash flow business model | Initial measurement^{(1)} | Measurement category^{(3)} |
|---|---|---|
| Solely to collect the contractual cash flows represented by principal and interest (Held to Collect) | Fair Value including transaction costs | Amortized Cost^{(2)} |
| Collect both the contractual cash flows and generate cash flows arising from the sale of assets (Held to Collect and Sell) | Fair Value including transaction costs | Fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVTOCI”) |
| Generate cash flows primarily from the sale of assets (Held to Sell) | Fair Value | Fair value through profit and loss (“FVTPL”) |
(1) A trade receivable without a significant financing component, as defined by IFRS 15, is initially measured at the transaction price.
(2) Receivables with maturities of over one year, which bear no interest or have an interest rate significantly lower than market rates are discounted using market rates.
(3) On initial recognition, the company may irrevocably designate a financial asset at FVTPL that otherwise meets the requirements to be measured at amortized cost or at FVTOCI, if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting mismatch that would otherwise arise.
Factors considered by the company in determining the business model for a group of financial assets include:
- past experience on how the cash flows for these assets were collected;
- the frequency, volume and timing of sales of financial assets in prior periods, the reasons for such sales and future sales activity expectations;
- how the asset's performance is evaluated and reported to key management personnel;
- how risks are assessed and managed and how management is compensated.
Financial assets are not reclassified subsequent to their initial recognition unless the company changes its business model for managing financial assets, in which case all affected financial assets are reclassified on the first day of the first reporting period following the change in the business model.
Cash and cash equivalents include cash at banks, units in liquidity funds, other money market securities, commercial paper and certificates of deposit that are readily convertible into cash, with original maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase. Cash and cash equivalents are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value and consist of balances across various primary national and international money market instruments. Cash at banks and other cash equivalents are measured at amortized cost.
Liquidity funds consist of investments in high quality, short-term, diversified financial instruments that can generally be liquidated on demand and are measured at FVTPL.
Short duration funds, bond funds and bond mandates consist of investments in high quality, short-term, diversified financial instruments that can generally be liquidated on demand; they do not satisfy the requirements for being classified as cash equivalents and are measured at FVTPL.
Intangible assets with indefinite useful life
Intangible assets with an indefinite useful life consist principally of brands which have no legal, contractual, competitive, economic, or other factors that limit their useful lives. Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized, but are tested for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset may be impaired.
Intangible assets with a definite useful life
Intangible assets with a definite useful life are recognized at purchase cost and amortized on a systematic basis over the asset's useful life, estimated at 5 years. Whenever necessary, intangible assets with a definite useful life are tested for impairment.
Trade receivables and payables
Receivables are initially recognized at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method less provision for impairment determined using the expected credit loss model. The original carrying amount of the receivables is reinstated in subsequent years if the reasons for impairment no longer exist.
Payables are initially recognized at fair value, less transaction costs, and subsequently measured at amortized cost.
Receivables and payables in foreign currency, originally recorded at the transaction date exchange rate, are adjusted to the year-end rate and the resulting gain or loss is recognized in the income statement.

HALF-YEAR CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AT 30 JUNE 2024
Treasury stock
The cost of any own share purchased, as a result of specific shareholder resolutions, is recognized as a deduction from equity and, therefore, the reserve offsetting treasury stock in portfolio is not shown separately. The proceeds from any subsequent sale are recognized as changes in equity.
Share-based compensation
Share-based compensation plans that may be settled by the delivery of shares are measured at fair value at the grant date. This fair value is recognized in the income statement in personnel costs on a straight-line basis over the period from the grant date to the vesting date with a corresponding entry directly in equity, based upon an estimate of the number of options that is expected to vest. Changes in fair value after the grant date have no effect on the initial measurement.
Provisions
Exor records provisions when it has an obligation, legal or constructive, when it is probable that an outflow of company resources will be required to satisfy the obligation and when a reliable estimate of the amount can be made. The provisions are reviewed at every reporting date and adjusted to reflect the best current estimate. Changes in estimates are reflected in the income statement in the period in which the change occurs.
Financial liabilities
Interest-bearing debt is initially recognized at cost which corresponds to the fair value of the amount received including directly attributable costs and it is subsequently measured at amortized cost. The difference between amortized cost and the amount to be repaid is recognized in the income statement on the basis of the effective interest rate over the period of the loan.
Derivative financial instruments
Derivative financial instruments are used for hedging purposes, in order to reduce currency and interest rate risks. All derivative financial instruments are measured in accordance with IFRS 9 at fair value.
When derivative financial instruments qualify for hedge accounting, the following accounting treatment applies:
- Fair value hedge (hedge of the exposure to changes in fair value), in which the effects of the hedge are recognized in the income statement.
- Cash flow hedge (hedge of the exposure to variability in future cash flows), in which the effective portion of a gain or loss in fair value is recognized directly in other comprehensive income and the ineffective portion is recognized immediately in the income statement. When a hedging instrument or hedge relationship is terminated but the hedged transaction is still expected to occur, the cumulative gain or loss realized to the point of termination remains in other comprehensive income and is recognized in the income statement at the same time as the underlying transaction occurs. If the hedged transaction is no longer probable, the cumulative unrealized gain or loss held in other comprehensive income is recognized in the income statement immediately.
If hedge accounting does not apply, the gains or losses from measuring the derivative financial instrument at fair value are immediately recognized in the income statement.
Financial income and expenses, other revenues and costs
Dividends are recognized in the income statement when the paying company approves distribution, that is, when the right to receive the dividends is established. Dividends in kind are measured at the fair value of the underlying securities at the payment date.
Financial income and expenses are recorded on a prorated basis according to the effective interest method.
Revenues from the performance of services are recognized over the period in which the services will be provided. Costs are recorded on the accrual basis.
Income taxes
Current and deferred income taxes are calculated according to the tax laws in force. Taxes on income are recognized in the income statement except to the extent that they relate to items directly charged or credited to other comprehensive income, in which case the related income tax effect is recognized directly in other comprehensive income.
Current tax expense is the tax that is to be paid or received for the year in question, plus correction of tax expense for earlier periods. Deferred tax is calculated on the basis of the temporary differences between the book values of assets and liabilities and their value for tax purposes. The amounts are calculated on the basis of how these differences can be expected to be evened out and using the tax rates and rules in effect or announced at the closing date. The deferred tax asset component of deductible temporary differences and tax loss carryforwards is only recorded in so far as it is likely that these will result in a lower tax payment in the future.
Dividend paid
Cash dividend to shareholders are recorded in the accounting period the divided is approved by the shareholders' meeting.
Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the profit (loss) attributable to owners of the parent entity by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Special voting shares are not included in the earnings per share calculation as they are not eligible for dividends and have only limited economic rights. For diluted earnings per share, the weighted average number of common shares outstanding is adjusted assuming conversion of all shares having a potential dilutive effect.
New standards and amendments effective from 1 January 2024
The following amendments and interpretations, which were effective from 1 January 2024, were adopted by the Group. The adoption of these amendments had no material impact on the Half-Year Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Amendments to IAS 1 – Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current
In January 2020, the IASB issued Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current (Amendments to IAS 1), which affects the requirements in IAS 1 for the presentation of liabilities, including clarifying one of the criteria for classifying a liability as non-current. In October 2022, the IASB issued an amendment to further clarify that covenants of loan arrangements, which an entity must comply with only after the reporting date would not affect classification of a liability as current or non-current at the reporting date. However, those covenants that an entity is required to comply with on or before the reporting date would affect classification as current or non-current, even if the covenant is only assessed after the entity's reporting date.
Amendments to IFRS 16 – Leases
In September 2022, the IASB issued a narrow-scope amendment to IFRS 16 - Leases, which adds requirements explaining how a company accounts for a sale and leaseback after the date of the transaction.
Amendments to IAS 7 – Statement of Cash Flows and IFRS 7 – Financial Instruments: Disclosures
In May 2023, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 7 – Statement of Cash Flows and IFRS 7 – Financial Instruments: Disclosures, addressing the presentation of liabilities and the associated cash flows arising out of supplier finance arrangements. The disclosure requirements in the amendments enhance the current requirements and are intended to assist users of financial statements in understanding the effects of supplier finance arrangements on an entity's liabilities, cash flows and exposure to liquidity risk.
Accounting standards, amendments and interpretations not yet applicable and not yet adopted by the Group
At the date of these Half-Year Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, the European Union had completed its endorsement process for the amendments and improvements reported below. Exor is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of these amendments on its Consolidated Financial Statements or disclosures:
Amendment to IAS 21 – The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates
In August 2023, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 21 – The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates that will require companies to provide more useful information in their financial statements when a currency cannot be exchanged into another currency. These amendments will require companies to apply a consistent approach in assessing whether a currency can be exchanged into another currency and, when it cannot, in determining the exchange rate to use and the disclosures to provide. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2025, with earlier adoption permitted.
HALF-YEAR CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AT 30 JUNE 2024
IFRS 18 – Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements
In March 2024, the IASB issued IFRS 18 – Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements, which is intended to give investors more transparent and comparable information about companies' financial performance. IFRS 18 replaces IAS 1 – Presentation of Financial Statements but carries forward many requirements of IAS 1 unchanged. The standard introduces three defined categories for income and expenses - operating, investing and financing - to improve the structure of the income statement, and requires all companies to provide new defined subtotals, including operating profit. IFRS 18 also introduces additional disclosure requirements in relation management-defined performance measures. The standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2027, with earlier adoption permitted.
Amendment to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 – Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements
In May 2024, the IASB issued amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 regarding the classification and measurement of financial instruments. The amendments relate to the settling of financial liabilities using an electronic payment system, as well as assessing contractual cash flow characteristics of financial assets, including those with environmental, social and governance linked features. The amendments are effective for periods beginning on or after 1 January 2026, with early adoption permitted.
IFRS 19 – Subsidiaries without Public Accountability
In May 2024, the IASB issued IFRS 19 – Subsidiaries without Public Accountability: Disclosure which permits eligible subsidiaries to use IFRS Accounting Standards with reduced disclosures. Subsidiaries using IFRS Accounting Standards for their own financial statements provide disclosures that maybe disproportionate to the information needs of their users. Subsidiaries are eligible to apply IFRS 19 if they do not have public accountability and their parent company applies IFRS Accounting Standards in their consolidated financial statements. The standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2027, with earlier adoption permitted.

4. Segment reporting
An operating segment is a component of an entity that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses, whose operating results are reviewed regularly by the entity's chief operating decision maker as a basis for decisions on the allocation of resources to the segment and assessment of its results and for which stand-alone financial information is available. The chief operating decision maker is the function that assesses the performance of the operating segment and makes decisions about resource allocation. Exor considers its chief operating decision maker to be the CEO. In the regular internal reporting to the CEO, results are reported for the investment entity as a whole. The CEO does not regularly review the results on a lower level to make decisions about allocation of resources and assess the performance of different parts of the investment entity. Starting from 1 January 2024, the investment entity is therefore considered one single operating segment.
Since 31 December 2023, the Exor Group reportable segments coincided with the consolidated data of its principal investments, each of which represented an investment in a major business segment: Stellantis, CNH Industrial, Iveco Group, Ferrari, Juventus and GEDI. The column "Other and adjustments" included unallocated income and expenses, share of profit in equity investments of Exor N.V., expenses related to corporate activities and finance income and expense of Exor N.V. and other Exor entities which were not included within the reportable segments as well as assets and liabilities of the Holdings System entities. The following tables summarize selected financial information by reporting segment for the six-months ended 30 June 2023. Data presented are prepared by each subsidiary for the Exor consolidation process and may differ from data published by each subsidiary in its financial report.

Exor LTI PLAN
In 2022 a long-term incentive plan ("Plan") has been implemented in favour of the Chief Executive Officer, selected employees of companies in the Holdings System and selected suppliers, under which performance share units ("PSUs") and restricted share units ("RSUs") are granted, being conditional rights to receive one Exor ordinary share for each vested PSU and RSU.
With the introduction of the Plan in 2022, the first PSU vesting will take place in 2025, while the RSUs vest upon a time-based service requirement in 3 tranches from 30 June 2023 to 30 June 2025. The total number of shares that will eventually be issued may vary from the original estimate due to forfeiture or the level of achievement of the performance goals. The grant dates of the 2022 awards were 1 July 2022, 1 November 2022 and 1 January 2023. The weighted average fair value of the awards that were issued in 2022 was €71 for the PSUs and €59.45 for the RSUs.
Under the same Plan, at 1 July 2023 PSUs and RSUs were granted to the Chief Executive Officer, selected employees of companies in the Holdings System and selected suppliers. PSU vesting will take place in 2026, while the RSUs vest upon a time-based service requirement in 3 tranches from 30 June 2024 to 30 June 2026. The total number of shares that will eventually be issued may vary from the original estimate due to forfeiture or the level of achievement of the performance goals. The weighted average fair value of the awards that were issued in 2023 was €96.30 for the PSUs and €80.78 for the RSUs.
The number of PSU and RSU awarded at 30 June 2024 are as follows:

On 14 February 2024 Exor issued bonds for a nominal amount of €650 million, maturing on 14 February 2033 with an issue price of 99.371% and a fixed annual coupon of 3.75%. The purpose of the issue was to raise new funds for Exor's general corporate purposes and to refinance debt maturing in 2024. The notes are listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange, admitted for trading on the Euro MTF Market, with an A- credit rating assigned by Standard & Poor's.
Exor intends to repay the bonds in cash at maturity using available liquid resources and undrawn credit lines. Exor may from time to time buy back bonds on the market also for purposes of their cancellation. Such buybacks, if made, depend upon market conditions, Exor's financial situation and other factors which could affect such decisions.
The bonds contain covenants that are common in international practice for bond issues of this type. In particular, they contain negative pledge clauses (which require that the bonds benefit from any existing or future pledges of assets of the issuer granted in connection with other bonds or debt securities having the same ranking) and provide for periodic disclosure.
The 2011-2031 bonds also establish other covenants such as respecting a ratio between financial debt and net asset value (0.5x) calculated in accordance with the bond issuance prospectus and maintaining a rating by one of the major agencies. Non-compliance with these covenants allows the bondholders to ask for the immediate redemption of the bonds. Standard events of default are envisaged in the case of serious non-fulfilment such as failure to pay interest. The Company complied with these covenants during the year under review.
Finally, a change of control of Exor would give the bondholders the right to ask for early redemption of the bonds.
Borrowings from banks
On 29 September 2021 Exor entered into a committed credit facility (term loan) for €150 million expiring on 29 September 2024. At 31 December 2023 the facility was fully drawn and fully repaid in February 2024.
At 30 June 2024 Exor has committed credit lines in Euro of €450 million, of which €200 million expiring after 30 June 2025, as well as uncommitted credit lines of €515 million.
At 31 December 2023 Exor had committed credit lines in Euro of €450 million, of which €350 million expiring after 31 December 2024, as well as uncommitted credit lines of €515 million drawn for €65 million.
83
The loan contracts relating to irrevocable credit lines provide for covenants to be observed that are typical of the practices in the sector for this type of debt. In particular, some of the main covenants on certain contracts refer to periodical disclosure obligations, prohibition of new real guarantees on the assets of the company without the consent of the creditor and non-subordination of the credit line. Finally, clauses provide for early repayment in the event of serious default such as failure to pay interest or events that are especially detrimental such as insolvency proceedings. These covenants were complied with at 30 June 2024.
In the event of a change of control of Exor, some lender banks would have the right to ask for the early repayment of committed credit lines for a total of €150 million, which however were not used at 30 June 2024.
On 9 November 2023, Standard & Poor's communicated that it had upgraded Exor's long-term corporate credit rating to A- from BBB+, maintaining a "stable" outlook. The short-term rating of Exor is A-2.

34. Fair value measurement by hierarchy
Fair value measurements are categorized within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the degree to which the inputs to the fair value measurements are observable and the significance of the inputs to the entire measurement:
- Level 1 — Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date;
- Level 2 — Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly;
- Level 3 — Inputs are not based on observable market data when available.
This hierarchy requires the use of observable market data when available.
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis
The following table shows the fair value hierarchy of the assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at 30 June 2024 and 31 December 2023:

At 30 June 2024, the main difference compare the previous period in the investments classified as Level 3 is due to the non-listed equity investment accounted for at FVTPL starting from 1 January 2024, following the application of the Investment entity exemption in accordance with IFRS 10. Assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis include also fund investments and other assets.
At 31 December 2023 the item included, among others, inactively traded fixed maturities including unlisted or private equities, fund investments, derivative instruments and other invested assets.
All valuation in Level 3 are based on assumptions and judgments that management considers to be reasonable based on the circumstances prevailing at the time. Changes in assumptions may result in adjustments to reported values and the actual outcome may differ from the estimates and judgments that were made.
Investment funds and reinsurance vehicles are measured at Investor's share of the value that the fund manager reports for all unlisted funds (net asset value) and is normally updated when a new valuation is received.
During the period ended 30 June 2024, there were no transfers between Levels 1, 2, and 3 in the fair value hierarchy for these investments.

Fair value measurement - Level 3 of Equity investment at FVTPL
Valuation process
The valuation process for unlisted equity investments at FVTPL involves a combination of internal and external expertise. Exor's finance team carries out an internal review of the key inputs and assumptions, with the guidance from external financial advisors, who provide independent assessments and input on the appropriate valuation methodologies. The valuations are reviewed on a semi-annual basis, in line with the Exor's half-yearly reporting periods, by both internal management and external experts to ensure they remain accurate and aligned with current market conditions.
Valuation techniques
Exor uses a combination of valuation techniques for its Level 3 fair value equity investments at FVTPL (multicriteria approach), which are based on unobservable inputs. The primary valuation technique used is the comparable company valuation multiples of the market approach.
The comparable companies multiples is the main valuation method for underlying investments which are not quoted in an active market. In using this method to determine the fair value of an underlying equity investment, a market multiple is established based on a selected group of comparable publicly traded companies that is considered representative of the underlying investment. Selection of the peer group companies is generally based on the risk profile, growth prospect, strength of brand or brand portfolio, leverage, and certain other financial characteristics (e.g., market capitalization or revenues as proxy size, EBITDA margin levels, market leadership, resilience). When the comparable companies multiples method is not relevant, or in order to corroborate the valuation obtained, other valuation methods are adopted, such as the discounted cash flow method of income approach.
The following table summarizes the information about the significant unobservable inputs used in Level 3 fair value measurements:

Sensitivity analysis
The fair value measurements of Level 3 equity investments at FVTPL are sensitive to changes in certain unobservable inputs. The potential impact of a reasonably possible increase/decrease of 10% in the comparable companies multiples applied for determining the fair value for the main Level 3 equity investments at FVTPL corresponds to approximately an increase/decrease of the fair value of €184 million.
Management has exercised significant judgment in the selection of valuation techniques and the estimation of inputs. Key assumptions used in the valuations are based on (e.g., historical financial performance, future growth expectations, industry benchmarks). These assumptions may change based on new information or changes in market conditions, which could result in future adjustments to the fair value.
Fair value measurement - Level 2 of Equity investment at FVTPL
In relation to the valuation of Level 2 equity investments at FVTPL, which have underlying investments that are publicly traded, the fair value is determined by reference to the quoted market price of those underlying investments on the reporting date.
Assets and liabilities not measured at fair value on a recurring basis

Notes issued by Exor that are traded in active markets for which close or last trade pricing is available are classified in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Notes for which such prices are not available are valued at the last available price or based on quotes received from third parties and are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
The fair value of receivables from financing activities, classified in Level 2 and Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, is based on the discounted values of their related cash flow at market discount rates, which reflect conditions applied in various reference markets on receivables with similar characteristics, adjusted to take into account the credit risk of the counterparties.
The fair value of asset-backed financing, borrowing from banks, payables represented by securities and other financial debt, classified principally in Level 2, has been estimated based on discounted cash flow analysis using the current market interest rates at period-end, adjusted for the Group non-performance risk over the remaining term of the financial liabilities. The fair value of the debt that requires significant adjustment using unobservable inputs is classified in Level 3.
The fair value of lease liabilities principally classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy has been estimated using discounted cash flow models that require significant adjustments using unobservable inputs.
Other financial asset
The carrying amount of cash at banks, restricted cash, other cash equivalents, trade receivables, other current receivables and financial assets, trade payables and other current liabilities included in the condensed consolidated statement of financial position approximates their fair value, due to the short maturity of these items.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REVIEW REPORT
To the shareholders and the Board of Directors of EXOR N.V.
Our conclusion
We have reviewed the condensed consolidated interim financial information for the period from January 1, 2024 to June 30, 2024 of EXOR N.V. based in Amsterdam.
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying interim financial information for the period from January 1, 2024 to June 30, 2024 of Exor N.V. is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34, 'Interim Financial Reporting' as adopted by the European Union.
The half-year condensed consolidated interim financial information comprises:
- The half-year condensed consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2024.
- The following half-year condensed consolidated statements for the period from January 1, 2024 to June 30, 2024: the income statement, the statement of comprehensive income, the statement of cash flows and the statement of changes in equity.
- The notes comprising material accounting policy information and other explanatory information.
Basis for our conclusion
We conducted our review in accordance with Dutch law, including the Dutch Standard 2410, 'Het beoordelen van tussentijdse financiële informatie door de accountant van de entiteit' (Review of interim financial information performed by the independent auditor of the entity). A review of interim financial information in accordance with the Dutch Standard 2410 is a limited assurance engagement. Our responsibilities under this standard are further described in the 'Our responsibilities for the review of the interim financial information' section of our report.
We are independent of Exor N.V. in accordance with the Verordening inzake de onafhankelijkheid van accountants bij assurance-opdrachten (ViO, Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants, a regulation with respect to independence) and other relevant independence regulations in the Netherlands. Furthermore, we have complied with the Verordening gedrags- en beroepsregels accountants (VGBA, Dutch Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants).
We believe the assurance evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our conclusion.
Responsibilities of management and the audit committee for the interim financial information
Management is responsible for the preparation of the interim financial information in accordance with IAS 34, 'Interim Financial Reporting' as adopted by the European Union. Furthermore, management is responsible for such internal control as it determines is necessary to enable the preparation of the interim financial information that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
The non-executive board members are responsible for overseeing the entity's financial reporting process.
Our responsibilities for the review of the interim financial information
Our responsibility is to plan and perform the review in a manner that allows us to obtain sufficient and appropriate assurance evidence for our conclusion.
The level of assurance obtained in a review engagement is substantially less than the level of assurance obtained in an audit conducted in accordance with the Dutch Standards on Auditing. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Deloitte Accountants B.V. is registered with the Trade Register of the Chamber of Commerce in Rotterdam number 24362853. Deloitte Accountants B.V. is a Netherlands affiliate of Deloitte NSE LLP, a member firm of Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Limited.
We have exercised professional judgement and have maintained professional scepticism throughout the review, in accordance with Dutch Standard 2410.
Our review included among others:
- Updating our understanding in the entity and its environment, including its internal control, and the applicable financial reporting framework, in order to identify areas in the interim financial information where material misstatements are likely to arise due to fraud or error, designing and performing procedures to address those areas, and obtaining assurance evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our conclusion.
- Obtaining an understanding of internal control, as it relates to the preparation of the interim financial information.
- Making inquiries of management and others within the entity.
- Applying analytical procedures with respect to information included in the interim financial information.
- Obtaining assurance evidence that the interim financial information agrees with or reconciles to the entity's underlying accounting records.
- Evaluating the assurance evidence obtained.
- Considering whether there have been any changes in accounting principles or in the methods of applying them and whether any new transactions have necessitated the application of a new accounting principle.
- Considering whether management has identified all events that may require adjustment to or disclosure in the interim financial information.
- Considering whether the interim financial information has been prepared in accordance with the applicable financial reporting framework and represents the underlying transactions free from material misstatement.
