Half-Yearly Financial Report of the Immsi Group

The Half-Yearly Financial Report for the six months to 30 June 2019 was prepared in accordance with Legislative Decree No. 58/1998 as amended, and the Consob Regulation on Issuers.

This Report was prepared in compliance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), as adopted by the European Union, and according to IAS 34 – Interim Financial Reporting, applying the same accounting standards as those adopted when preparing the Consolidated Financial Statements at 31 December 2018 of the Immsi Group (to which reference is made for further details), excluding adoption as from 1 January 2019 of IFRS 16 - Leases. The Group opted to use the simplified transition approach and did not therefore modify the comparative amounts of the previous year, for first-time adoption. For analysis of the effects of the first-time adoption of this standard, reference is made to the Notes.

The Group also considered IASB amendments and interpretations applicable as from 1 January 2019 (for more details, reference is made to the Notes to this document), and the interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee ("IFRIC"), formerly the Standing Interpretations Committee ("SIC").

Information on operations

During the first half of 2019, the Immsi Group confirmed the improvement of recent years, in economic and financial terms. All ratios increased compared to 2018: turnover went up by 9.9%, EBIT by 11.3% and net profit including the portion attributable to non-controlling interests by 15.1%. Financial debt at 30 June 2019 also improved considerably compared to the same period in 2018, equal to approximately €27.6 million on a uniform comparative basis, considering that at 30 June 2019, the net debt included €22.5 million due to the effects of IFRS 16.

Earnings for the period report different trends with reference to the sectors comprising the Group, based on the different business trends of the period in question.

For a clearer interpretation, the following is reported on a preliminary basis:

  • the "property and holding sector" consolidated the financial position and performance of Immsi S.p.A., Immsi Audit S.c.a r.l., ISM Investimenti S.p.A., Is Molas S.p.A., Apuliae S.r.l., Pietra S.r.l., Pietra Ligure S.r.l. and RCN Finanziaria S.p.A.;
  • the "industrial sector" includes the companies owned by the Piaggio group, while
  • the "marine sector" includes Intermarine S.p.A. and other minor subsidiaries or associated companies of Intermarine S.p.A..

Some of the main summary data of the Immsi Group, divided by segment of activity, are reported below.

As already stated, the new accounting standard IFRS 16 – Leases has been adopted since 1 January 2019; the effects are discussed in the section "Accounting standards and measurement criteria". The Group opted to use the simplified transition approach and did not therefore modify the comparative amounts of the previous year, for first-time adoption.

The same table referring to the first half of the previous year is presented below. A comparison between the two periods is made in the specific comment presented below regarding each business sector:

Immsi Group

Half-Yearly Financial Report

It should be noted that the data given in the preceding tables refer to the results for consolidation purposes, in particular net of the intergroup revenues and costs and the dividends from subsidiaries.

Alternative non-GAAP performance measures

This Report contains some measures that, although not indicated by IFRS ("Non-GAAP Measures"), derive from IFRS financial measures (Consob Communication DEM/6064293 of 28 July 2006 as amended, including Consob Communication 0092543 of 3 December 2015 which enacts ESMA/2015/1415 guidelines on alternative performance measures.

These measures – which are presented to allow a better assessment of the Group's operating performance – should not be considered as an alternative to IFRS measures. They are identical to those contained in the Annual Report and Financial Statements at 31 December 2018 and in the periodical quarterly reports of the Immsi Group.

It should also be noted that the methods for calculating these measures might not be the same as those adopted by others, as they are not specifically governed by the reference accounting standards and therefore might not be sufficiently comparable.

In particular, the following alternative performance measures have been used:

  • EBITDA: defined as operating income before amortisation/depreciation and impairment costs of intangible assets and property, plant and equipment, as reported in the consolidated income statement;
  • Net financial debt (or net debt): represented by (current and non-current) financial liabilities, minus cash on hand and other cash and cash equivalents, as well as other (current and non-current) financial receivables. The other financial assets and liabilities arising from the fair value measurement of derivative financial instruments designated as hedges, the fair value adjustment of related hedged items, relative accruals, interest accrued on loans and financial liabilities related to assets held for disposal are not, however, included in the calculation of net financial debt. The tables in this Report include a table showing times used to determine the indicator. In this respect, in compliance with CESR recommendation of 10 February 2005 "Recommendations for the consistent implementation of the European Commission's Regulation on Prospectuses", the indicator, thus formulated, represents aspects monitored by the Group's management and differs from recommendations in Consob Communication no. 6064293 of 28 July 2006, as it also includes the non-current portion of financial receivables.

Overall, the property and holding sector reported a net loss for consolidation purposes in the first half of 2019 of approximately €4.9 million, improving on the loss of €5.3 million recorded in the same period of the previous year.

Net debt of the sector was negative at €373 million, compared to €-364.5 million at 30 June 2018.

The Parent Company Immsi S.p.A. recorded a net profit for the period of approximately €16 million, compared to approximately €9.6 million at 30 June 2018. This was mainly due to the increase in financial income in the first half of 2019 compared to the same period of 2018. In particular, the dividends collected by the Company increased by €6.3 million compared to the amount distributed by the subsidiary Piaggio & C. S.p.A. in 2018.

With reference to non-financial income components, net revenues realised in the first half of 2019 from real-estate operations and services amounted to €2.3 million, basically unchanged compared to the same period of the previous year.

Net financial debt amounted to €55.5 million, down by approximately €9.5 million compared to 31 December 2018, due mainly to the cash flows generated from operations including financial flows as described above.

Shareholders' equity of the Parent Company Immsi S.p.A. at 30 June 2019 was equal to €377.5 million, up compared to the balance at the end of 2018, equal to €361.3 million, due to earnings for the period.

In preparing this Half-Yearly Financial Report at 30 June 2019, the Parent Company did not carry out any specific impairment testing on the carrying amount of investments held in companies consolidated on a line-by-line basis, as these investments and any changes resulting from relative impairment tests would have been eliminated in full during consolidation.

Immsi Group

Half-Yearly Financial Report

As regards the subsidiary Is Molas S.p.A., work site activities for the construction of the first 15 holiday villas and the first section of primary services was completed, and the company handed over four finished mock-up villas and the remaining 11 villas in an advanced basic construction stage, in order to enable potential clients to choose the flooring and interior finishings. Commercial activities are continuing to identify possible buyers, also at international level.

Revenues relating to tourist/hotel and golf activities for the first half of 2019 were slightly up on the same period of 2018, while in terms of margins, the company recorded an operating loss of €1 million, up compared to the figure of €-1.3 million in the first half of 2018, and a net loss for consolidation purposes of €0.8 million, also slightly down on the figure for the first six months of the previous year.

The company's net financial debt amounted to €68.4 million, down on the figure at the end of 2018 (€69 million). The change in the six month period is due to the payment for a future capital increase made by the partner ISM Investimenti S.p.A. for €6 million, nearly entirely offset by net cash flow used in operations.

With reference to the Pietra Ligure project, activities aimed at identifying potential parties interested in development of the Project continued.

Net profit for consolidation purposes of Pietra S.r.l. in the first half of 2019 was substantially in line with the same period of the previous year, while net financial debt remained unchanged from 31 December 2018 amounting to €2.7 million. Pietra Ligure S.r.l., a subsidiary of Pietra S.r.l. and which incorporates the property complex of Pietra Ligure with related Planning Permissions and Agreements, recorded an operating loss of €0.3 million (slightly worse than the first half of 2018), and net financial debt amounted to €1.9 million (€1.3 million at 31 December 2018), in addition to financial debt relative to the discounting of cash flows related to the above concession (as provided for in IFRS 16) amounting to approximately €5.9 million.

With reference to the subsidiary Apuliae S.r.l., there are no further updates since the Report of Directors and Financial Statements of the Immsi Group at 31 December 2018, to which reference is made. At 30 June 2019, the company posted a substantial break-even position and net debt that was unchanged compared to 31 December 2018 at a negative value of €0.7 million.

The other major companies falling within the property and holding sector also include RCN Finanziaria S.p.A. and ISM Investimenti S.p.A.. With reference to main financial data of the company:

  • RCN Finanziaria S.p.A., in which Immsi S.p.A. holds a 72.51% stake, and sole shareholder of Intermarine S.p.A., reported a net loss for consolidation purposes for the Immsi Group equal to approximately €1.9 million (€1.8 million in the first half of 2018) and net financial debt at 30 June 2019 amounting to €123.4 million, up slightly on the figure of €123 million at 31 December 2018;
  • ISM Investimenti S.p.A. recorded a net loss for consolidation purposes for the Immsi Group of approximately €1.7 million (down by approximately €0.3 million compared to the first half of 2018), and net financial debt at 30 June 2019 equal to €120.4 million, up by approximately €6.7 million compared to the figure at 31 December 2018. This increases refers nearly entirely to the recapitalisation of the subsidiary Is Molas S.p.A., through the conversion of financial receivables previously sold by Immsi S.p.A. to ISM Investimenti S.p.A. due from the subsidiary, into Shareholders' equity reserves.

The company, which is the parent of Is Molas S.p.A., with a 92.59% stake at the end of June, is an investee of Immsi S.p.A. which holds a 72.64% share and of IMI Investimenti S.p.A. that holds 27.36% in terms of voting rights. In this regard, considering the analysis of impairment testing conducted at the end of 2018 and different equity rights of the two shareholders established by the co-investment and shareholders' agreement signed at the time of the initial investment as supplemented and amended in 2013 - the portion of shareholders' equity of ISM Investimenti S.p.A. consolidated by Immsi S.p.A. was estimated to be 41.81% at 31 December 2018, down compared to the figure of 51.55% at 30 June 2018.

In terms of consolidated turnover, the group ended the first half of 2019 with net revenues up compared to the same period of 2018 (+12%).

At a geographic level, all areas reported a positive performance: EMEA and Americas +10.3%; India +8.7 (+7.5% with constant exchange rates); Asia Pacific +28.8% (+23.1% with constant exchange rates).

As regards product type, the increase in turnover referred to both two-wheeler vehicles (+12.1%) and commercial vehicles (+11.7%). Consequently, the percentage for the two-wheeler segment accounting for total turnover was stable at 71.4%, while the percentage for the commercial vehicles segment stood at 28.6%.

In the first half of 2019, the Piaggio group sold 321,500 vehicles around the world, recording an increase of 5.7% compared to the first half of the previous year, when 304,000 vehicles were sold. All geographic areas reported a good performance: (EMEA and Americas +6.7%; India +0.5%; Asia Pacific +20.2%.

EBITDA of the Piaggio group rose to €134.3 million (from €116.6 million in the first half of 2018). In relation to turnover, EBITDA was equal to 16.4% (16% in the first half of 2018). Operating income (EBIT) came to €75.1 million, up considerably on the first half of 2018; in relation to turnover, EBIT was equal to 9.2% (8.5% in the first half of 2018).

The result of financing activities improved compared to the first six months of the previous year, thanks to a lower debt exposure and reduction in the cost of debt, registering net charges for €12.2 million (€13.4 million at 30 June 2018). This improvement would be greater, considering that the result included non-recurring net income in the first half of 2018 amounting to €0.9 million generated from the liability management operation on the "Eur 250 million Piaggio 4.625% due 2021" debenture loan.

Net profit stood at €34.6 million (4.2% of turnover), up on the figure for the same period of the previous year (which was equal to €26.7 million, 3.7% of turnover).

Net financial debt at 30 June 2019 of the Piaggio group was equal to €418 million, compared to €429.2 million at 31 December 2018. The reduction of approximately €11.2 million (€31.2 million excluding the effect of the new accounting standard IFRS 16) is due to the good operating performance, enabling the payment of dividends (€32.2 million) and the funding of the investments programme. Compared to 30 June 2018, debt was reduced by approximately €13.3 million (€33.4 million excluding the effect of the new accounting standard IFRS 16).

With reference to economic data for the marine sector, the first half of 2019 saw a decrease of 24.8% in net sales revenues (consisting of turnover and changes in contract work in progress) compared to the same period of the previous year, with the figure standing at €31.9 million, compared to €42.4 million in the first half of 2018, with a consequent decrease in other economic indicators. This downturn is greater due to the recognition in the first half of the previous year of non-recurring income for approximately €4 million, referring to higher sums received for production process, related to the termination of contracts in place at the time with an Asian shipyard. Production progress, including research and development, and the completion of constructions and deliveries, concerned in particular:

  • the Defence division, with €26 million (€34.2 million in the first half of 2018), mainly for progress relative to job orders with the Italian financial police, refurbishment of the Gaeta class minesweeper and of multi-functional, high-speed vessels for the Italian Navy, and for the second and third integrated minesweeper platform with the Italian sector operator;
  • the Fast Ferries and Yachts divisions, with a total of €5.9 million (8.2 million during the first half of 2018), mainly for activities at the Messina shipyard and for revenues from the Marine Systems division.

This led to a positive EBIT in the first half of 2019 for €1.8 million (€7.4 million in the same period in 2018), accounting for 5.8% of revenues, and earnings before taxes of €1 million compared to profit before taxes of €6.7 million in the first half of 2018. Net profit for consolidation purposes for the Immsi Group at 30 June 2019 amounted to €0.3 million, compared to a profit of €3.3 million during the first half of 2018.

The total value of the orders portfolio of the company amounted to €145 million at 30 June 2019 (mainly relative to the Defence division), referring to the remaining part of existing contracts still to be developed in terms of revenues.

In terms of capital, net financial debt, equal to €47.2 million at 30 June 2019, was down slightly compared to the balance at 31 December 2018 and 30 June 2018, equal to €47.5 and 47.4 million respectively.

Financial situation and financial performance

As already mentioned, during the first half of 2019, the Immsi Group reported an improvement in all growth ratios compared to the same period of the previous year. Net financial debt at 30 June 2019 decreased compared to 31 December 2018 and 30 June 2018.

At 30 June 2019 the structure of the Immsi Group was that attached to this Half-Yearly Financial Report, to which reference is made. The scope of consolidation compared to the Consolidated Financial Statements at 31 December 2018 was unchanged, while the scope changed compared to 30 June 2018 but without affecting to any considerable extent the comparability of business results between the two reporting periods. For further details of changes, see section B of the Notes.

Immsi Group

As already stated, the Group has adopted the accounting standard IFRS 16 - Leases since 1 January 2019. The standard mainly has an impact on the recognition of the Group's operating leases in the accounts. The Group opted to use the simplified transition approach and did not therefore modify the comparative amounts of the previous year, for first-time adoption. For analysis of the effects of the first-time adoption of this standard, reference is made to the Notes.

The consolidated net revenues of the Immsi Group have increased by approximately €76.9 million (+9.9%) to around €851 million, mainly due to the industrial sector, which contributed about €817 million, and the marine sector, which contributed around €31.9 million. Net revenues of the property and holding sector, amounting to approximately €2.1 million, were basically unchanged compared to the same period of the previous year. With uniform exchange rates, turnover was equal to approximately €841.7 million (+8.7% for the same period in 2018).

Operating costs and other consolidated Group net costs in the first half of 2019 totalled €714.4 million (equal to 83.9% of net revenues), of which €682.7 million relative to the Piaggio group (83.6% of group net revenues).

Costs for materials totalled €499.4 million, equal to 58.7% of net revenues. The cost relating to the industrial sector amounted to €494.2 million, equal to 60.5% of net revenues of the sector.

Employee costs totalled €128.2 million, equal to 15.1% of net revenues. The largest part, €118.3 million (14.5% of net revenues of the sector), is attributable to the Piaggio group. The average paid workforce amounted to 6,849 units compared to 7,043 units in the first half of 2018, mainly referring to the industrial sector, with this figure down in all geographic areas, with the exception of Asia Pacific, where temporary manpower was used to a greater extent, following the growth in demand for two-wheelers. Average employee numbers were affected by seasonal workers in the summer (on fixed-term employment contracts). The Group effectively hires temporary staff to cover peaks in demand typical of the summer months.

EBITDA during the first half of 2019 came to around €136.6 million, or 16.1% of net revenues, compared to 124.1 million in the first half of 2018 (16% of net revenues for the period), an increase of €12.5 million (+10.1%).

Depreciation and amortisation for the period stood at €61.4 million (of which €59.2 million relative to the industrial sector), representing 7.2 % of turnover, slightly down on the figure of 7.3% for the first half of 2018. Depreciation of property, plant and equipment amounted to €24.8 million (€+3.3 million compared to the first six months of 2018), while amortised intangibles excluding goodwill totalled €36.7 million (€35.1 million in the first half of 2018).

EBIT amounted to €75.2 million (€+7.6 million, or +11.3%, over the first half of 2018), equal to 8.8% of net revenues, up on the figure of 8.7% for the same period of 2018.

Moreover, EBIT does not include impairment of goodwill in the first six months of 2019 or in the same period of the previous year, as i) based on the results forecast in long-term development plans prepared by Group companies and used for impairment tests performed at 31 December 2018 and ii) based on analyses carried out by Group management when preparing this Half-Yearly Financial Report at 30 June 2019, no write-downs were deemed necessary, as goodwill was considered to be recoverable with future cash flows.

Considering that the analyses conducted to determine the recoverable value of Immsi Group cashgenerating units has also been determined based on estimates, the Group cannot guarantee that there will be no goodwill impairment losses in future periods. Owing to the current climate of uncertainty on core and financial markets, the various factors – both inside and outside the cashgenerating units identified – used in preparing estimates could be revised in the future: the Group will constantly monitor these factors and the possible existence of future impairment losses.

Reclassified financial situation of the Group

Current assets at 30 June 2019 amounted to €761 million, an increase of €73.5 million from 31 December 2018 and a decrease of €45.6 million from 30 June 2018. The increase compared to the end of 2018 is due to the growth in trade and other receivables (€+62.1 million) and inventories (€+22.7 million), mainly referred to the Piaggio group due to the seasonal nature of activities.

Non-current assets at 30 June 2019 stood at €1,454.6 million, against €1,423.9 million at 31 December 2018, an increase equal to €30.7 million.

Specifically, among non-current assets, intangible assets totalled €838.6 million, an increase of €4.8 million compared to 31 December 2018, while property, plant and equipment stood at €329.7 million (up by around €28.8 million compared to the end of 2018). Other assets amounted to €286.3 million (against €289.2 million at the end of 2018).

Current liabilities at 30 June 2019 amounted to €1,149.6 million, up by €32.4 million compared to 31 December 2018, with an increase in operating liabilities (€+122.2 million, of which €+120.8 million in the Piaggio group), related primarily to the seasonality of purchases, partially offset by the decrease in current financial liabilities, from €532.1 million to €442.4 million, due to less bank debt posted in the short-term.

Non-current liabilities at 30 June 2019 stood at €677.4 million, up by approximately €62.6 million from €614.7 million at 31 December 2018. Consolidated shareholders' equity attributable to the Group and non-controlling interests totalled €388.5 million at 30 June 2019, of which €141.1 million attributable to non-controlling interests.

Immsi Group

Half-Yearly Financial Report

*) The indicator does not include financial assets and liabilities arising from the fair value measurement of derivative financial instruments designated as hedges, the fair value adjustment of related hedged items and relative accruals, wholly referred to the Piaggio group, interest expense accrued on loans, as well as financial assets and liabilities related to assets held for sale (see note G2 – "Financial liabilities" in the Notes).

With reference to the breakdown of debt, compared to 31 December 2018, short-term financial debt decreased from a balance of €331.6 million to a balance of €268.4 million (i.e. € -63.2 million), with a corresponding increase in medium-long term financial debt from €520.4 million to €569.8 million (€+49.4 million). This trend was mainly due to the change in bank debt, of which details are given in the relative notes to the Condensed Interim Financial Statements.

  • in a ruling of 8 April 2019 (published on 12 June 2019), the Court of Appeal of Venice rejected the appeal made by Gammamoto S.r.l. in liquidation, as there were no grounds, confirming the ruling in the first instance and ordering it to pay legal fees;

S.p.A., two appeals were made against two tax assessments notified to the company and relative to the 2002 and 2003 tax years respectively.

The amount of the claim including interest amounts to approximately €700 thousand and the company decided to appeal against it, before the High Court with a case filed on 17 June 2019.

  • as regards the appeal before the Court of Cassation of the Customs' Agency of La Spezia for a value of €38 thousand, in the hearing of 11 June 2019, the General attorney rejected the appeal, correcting the reason for the appeal sentence. The ruling is now being filed with the Court of Cassation;
  • Intermarine S.p.A. received a summons to appear in court from the heirs of a former employee of the Sarzana shipyard, who died in 2013, for the compensation of all nonpatrimonial damages of a moral and/or welfare nature, and/or harm to the integrity of the family, for a total of €600 thousand, or other greater or lesser sums resulting from the ruling. In the first hearing, the dates for filing briefs were set for 15 July, 12 September and 2 October 2019.

As regards the Pietra Ligure S.r.l. project:

• On 20 February 2019, the Court of Rome published the ruling upholding the appeals of Intermarine S.p.A. and Banco BPM against Como S.r.l. opposing the injunction, ordering Como S.r.l. to pay legal fees, with the ruling becoming final.

Events occurring after 30 June 2019 and operating outlook

As regards Intermarine, the first multi-functional, high-speed naval unit was handed over to the Italian navy in July 2019.

As regards major events after 30 June 2019 regarding the industrial sector, the European Investment Bank (EIB) and the Piaggio group signed a 7-year loan agreement for €70 million, supporting the Research and Development projects in the investments plan, that will be developed at Piaggio group Italian sites in the 2019-2021 period. The loan agreement signed with the EIB will support the development of innovative technological, product and process solutions, regarding active and passive safety and sustainability (including electric engines and reducing the consumption of combustion engines) in order to consolidate the scooter, motorcycle and commercial vehicles product range. The loan will further consolidate the group's financial structure, contributing to increasing the average duration and reducing the average cost of debt.

In July, the Piaggio group signed a preliminary agreement with the Italian Revenue Agency to access the special tax rates provided for by regulations that introduced the Patent Box scheme.

In August, Piaggio & C. S.p.A. was notified of the first instance ruling relative to a case brought by its supplier in 2009, ordering it to pay a total of €7.6 million. The company, considering the decision as flawed for numerous reasons, has appointed its legal advisors to appeal against the ruling.

No additional significant events occurred after 30 June 2019.

As regards the operating outlook of the Immsi Group, and with reference to the subsidiary Is Molas S.p.A., the company is continuing with commercial activities in order to identify possible buyers, also at international level.

As regards the industrial sector, in a context of the Piaggio group's consolidation on global markets, the group is committed to:

  • confirming its leadership position on the European two-wheeler market, optimally levering expected recovery by further consolidating the scooter and motorcycle product ranges;
  • maintaining current positions on the European commercial vehicles market, consolidating the sales network;
  • consolidating a presence in the Asia Pacific area, exploring new opportunities in countries in the area, with a particular focus on the market premium segment;
  • strengthening sales on the Indian scooter market thanks to the Vespa and Aprilia product ranges;
  • increasing the penetration of commercial vehicles in India, thanks to the introduction of new engines.

In terms of technology, the Piaggio group will continue to seek new solutions for the problems of current and future mobility, through the work of Piaggio Fast Forward (Boston) and the new frontiers of the design by the PADc (Piaggio Advanced Design Center) in Pasadena.

More in general, the Group is committed - as in the past and for operations in 2019 - to increasing productivity with a strong focus on efficient costs and investments, while complying with its business ethics.

As regards the marine sector, progress will be made on production relative to job orders acquired, and commercial activities in all operating segments of the company will continue, seeking favourable business opportunities, with the aim of consolidating the increase in capital of recent years. Management will continue to carry out all actions to keep direct and indirect costs down.

These condensed interim financial statements are subject to limited review by the independent auditors PricewaterhouseCoopers S.p.A. pursuant to the mandate granted by the Shareholders' Meeting on 11 May 2012 for the period 2012-2020.

COMPLIANCE WITH INTERNATIONAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

These Condensed Interim Financial Statements have been drafted in compliance with International Accounting Standards (IAS/IFRS) in force at that date, issued by the International Accounting Standards Board and approved by the European Commission, as well as in compliance with the provisions established in article 9 of Legislative Decree no. 38/2005 (Consob Resolution no. 15519 of 27 July 2006 containing "Provisions for the presentation of financial statements", Consob Resolution no. 15520 of 27 July 2006 containing "Changes and additions to the Consob Regulation on Issuers adopted by Resolution no. 11971/99", Consob communication no. 6064293 of 28 July 2006 on "Corporate reporting required in accordance with article 114, paragraph 5 of Legislative Decree no. 58/98"). The interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee ("IFRIC"), previously the Standing Interpretations Committee ("SIC"), were also taken into account.

The information provided in the Half-Yearly Report should be read together with the Consolidated Financial Statements at 31 December 2018, prepared according to IFRS.

The financial statements have been prepared assuming the company is a going concern. The Directors considered, despite the difficult economic and financial context, that the currently available funds, in addition to those that will be generated from operating and financing activities, will enable the Group to meet its own needs arising from investments, management of working capital and repayment of debts when they become due, and will ensure an adequate level of operational and strategic flexibility.

The above is based on the fundamental premise that:

• the main assumptions used in forecasts, in particular with reference to the disposal of assets and services, and consequent inflows, will occur and that

~ 36 ~

• the various lines that will become due in the next 12 months, and in particular for the Parent Company Immsi S.p.A., will be fully renewed by the banks, or new lines already agreed or to search on the market may be activated thanks to the availability of guarantees that these contracts usually require.

A further fundamental requirement is that values of guarantees and/or financial covenants are met, or if not met, banks are willing to exonerate non-compliance.

With reference to the above, at 31 December 2018, as regards the short-term reclassification of the entire debt of Immsi S.p.A. and some subsidiaries following some financial covenants not being met, the situation has been remedied and the settlement dates restored in the financial statements.

The preparation of the interim financial statements requires the company Management to make estimates and assumptions that affect, among other things, the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities recorded and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the end of the period. If in the future such estimates and assumptions, carried out by the management, deviate from the actual circumstances, the original estimates and assumptions will be modified as appropriate in the period in which the circumstances may occur to change.

For a more detailed description of the most significant measurement methods of the Group, reference is made to the section "Accounting standards and measurement criteria – Use of estimates" in the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Immsi Group at 31 December 2018.

In addition, some evaluative processes, particularly the more complex ones such as the determination of any losses in value of fixed assets ("impairment"), are generally carried out completely only at the time of drawing up the annual financial statements, when all the potentially necessary information is available, saving the cases in which there are indicators that require immediate evaluation of possible losses of value.

FORM AND CONTENT OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The Group has chosen to highlight all changes generated by transactions with non-shareholders within two statements reporting trends of the period, respectively named the "Consolidated Income Statement" and "Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income". These Condensed Interim Financial Statements are therefore composed of the Consolidated Income Statement, the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income, the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity, the Consolidated Cash Flow Statement and these Notes to the consolidated financial statements.

With reference to Consob Resolution no. 15519 of 27 July 2006 it is pointed out that, as regards the financial schedules, specific Income statement and Statement of financial position schedules have been inserted with the evidence of significant Related Party transactions.

In the first half of 2019, no significant non-recurring transactions took place, while in the second half of 2018 the values arising from the following events were recorded:

  • as regards the subsidiary Piaggio & C. S.p.A., a liability management operation on the "Eur 250 million Piaggio 4.625% due 2021" debenture loan was finalised, with the effects recognised in the income statement, as required by IFRS 9. In particular, at the start of April 2018, Piaggio & C. S.p.A. exercised the call option of the debenture loan issued on 24 April 2014 for a total of €250,000 thousand, maturing on 30 April 2021. On 9 May, the remaining portion of this loan (equal to approximately €168,497 thousand) was paid back at the price of 101.25%, after the finalisation of the exchange offer launched on 9 April. As a result the following were recognised in the income statement, for the first half of 2018:

Immsi Group

• financial charges related to premiums paid to bondholders that did not take up the exchange offer and the exchange of outstanding securities and costs not yet amortised for the reimbursed loan (€3,521 thousand);

• financial income from the operation to change the original liability for a new bond issued at more favourable conditions for the issuer (€4,431 thousand).

  • as regards the marine sector and in view of the serious breaches at the Asian shipyard, Intermarine decided to terminate the contracts in question. The company therefore recognised gross income for approximately €4 million relative to the higher value of inflows compared to production progress.

These operations come under significant non-recurrent transactions, as defined by Consob Communication no. DEM/6064293 of 28 July 2006.

Moreover, there were no significant atypical transactions during the first half of 2019 and of the corresponding period of the previous year, as defined in Consob Communication no. DEM/6037577 of 28 April 2006 and no. DEM/6064293 of 28 July 2006.

Consolidated income statement (reclassified)

The Consolidated income statement is presented with the items classified by nature. The overall Operating Income is shown, which includes all income and cost items, irrespective of their repetition or fact of falling outside normal operations, except for the items of financial operations included under Operating Income and Profit before tax. In addition, the income and cost items arising from assets that are held for disposal or sale, including any capital gains or losses net of the tax element, are recorded in a specific item of the consolidated statement of financial position which precedes Earnings for the period including non-controlling interests.

Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income

The Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income is presented as provided for in IAS 1 revised. It requires income attributable to owners of the parent and to non-controlling interests to be recognised net of the corresponding tax effect. In this respect, it should be noted that on 16 June 2011, the IASB issued an amendment to IAS 1 – Presentation of financial statements to require entities to group all items presented in Other comprehensive income based on whether they are potentially reclassifiable to profit or loss.

Consolidated statement of financial position

The Consolidated statement of financial position is presented in opposite sections with separate indication of assets, liabilities, and shareholders' equity. In turn, assets and liabilities are reported in the Consolidated Financial Statements on the basis of their classification as current and noncurrent.

Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows

The Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows is divided into cash-flow generating areas. The Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows model adopted by the Immsi Group has been prepared using the indirect method. The cash and cash equivalents recorded in the Statement of Cash Flows include the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position balances for this item at the reporting date. Financial flows in foreign currency have been converted at the average exchange rate for the period. Income and costs related to interest, dividends received and income taxes are included in the cash flow generated from operations.

Statement of changes in consolidated shareholders' equity

The Statement of Changes in consolidated Shareholders' equity is presented as required by IAS 1 revised. It includes total comprehensive income, while separately reporting the amounts attributable to owners of the Parent Company as well as the quota pertaining to non-controlling interests, amounts of operations with shareholders acting in this capacity and any potential effects of retroactive application or of the retroactive calculation pursuant to IAS 8. Reconciliation between the opening and closing balance of each item for the period is presented.

- B - SCOPE OF CONSOLIDATION

At 30 June 2019, the Immsi Group structure was that attached at the end of these Notes. The scope of consolidation at 30 June 2019 compared to the Consolidated Financial Statements at 31 December 2018 has not changed, while compared to 30 June 2018, it has changed as follows:

  • as regards the portion held by the Parent Company Immsi S.p.A. in ISM Investimenti S.p.A., considering the different equity rights of the two shareholders and analysis of impairment testing, the portion of consolidated shareholders' equity of ISM Investimenti S.p.A. was estimated to be equal to 41.81% at 31 December 2018, down on the figure of 51.55% at 30 June 2018;
  • the consolidated portion of shareholders' equity of the Piaggio group, which amounted to 50.19% at 30 June 2019, was equal to 50.18% at 31 December 2018 and 50.07% at 30 June 2018. The changes are due to the purchase of treasury shares by the subsidiary;
  • the liquidation of the First Atlantic property fund;
  • the liquidation of the company Rodriquez Cantieri Navali do Brasil Ltda.

These changes are limited and did not affect the comparability of the balance sheet and income statement between the two reporting periods.

- C - CONSOLIDATION PRINCIPLES

In preparing these Condensed Interim Financial Statements of the Immsi Group, drawn up in compliance with IAS 34 – Interim Financial Reporting, the accounting standards used to prepare the Consolidated Financial Statements at 31 December 2018, to which reference is made for more details, were adopted, save for information in the next section on Accounting standards and measurement criteria.

- D - ACCOUNTING STANDARDS AND MEASUREMENT CRITERIA

The accounting standards adopted in these condensed interim financial statements are the same as those used in preparing the consolidated financial statements at 31 December 2018, apart from the adoption of IFRS 16 – Leases as from 1 January 2019, reported in detail below.

New accounting standards, amendments and interpretations adopted as from 1 January 2019

In the month of January 2016, the IASB published IFRS 16 - Leases. This new standard replaced IAS 17. The main change concerns the accounting of lease agreements by lessees that, according to IAS 17, were required to make a distinction between a finance lease (recognised on balance sheet) and an operating leases (off balance sheet). With IFRS 16, operating leases have been treated for accounting purposes as finance leases. According to the new standard, an asset is recognised (and the right to use the leased item is entered as an asset under the items property, plant and equipment), and a financial liability is recognised for the future lease payments. As permitted by the IASB, the Group has provided for the optional exemption of some low-value and short-term lease agreements.

The standard mainly has an impact on the recognition of the Group's operating leases in the accounts.

The Group opted to use the simplified transition approach and did not therefore modify the comparative amounts of the previous year, for first-time adoption. Assets recognised for the right of use are measured by the amount of the lease liability on adoption.

The table below summarises the effects of the adoption of IFRS 16 on the financial statements at 30 June 2019.

Impact on the income statement before taxes 54,125 (227) 54,352

Please note that:

  • the change in the item Other receivables refers to the reclassification of lease payments made in advance by the Asian companies of the Piaggio group for concessions of land where the production sites are located;
  • the change in the item Other current receivables refers to the reclassification of leases paid in advance by the company PT Piaggio Indonesia for a lease agreement that will start in September 2019 under rights of use;
  • consolidated financial debt does not include the lease liabilities related to assets held for disposal, referred solely to the company Pietra Ligure S.r.l..

IFRS 9 - In October 2017, the IASB published an amendment to IFRS 9 concerning "Prepayment

Features with Negative Compensation". The amendment confirms that when a financial liability recognised at amortised cost is modified without leading to de-recognition, the relative gain or loss must be immediately recognised in the income statement. The gain or loss is measured as the difference between the previous cash flow and flow determined based on the modification. This amendment, applicable as from 1 January 2019, did not have a significant impact on the financial statements or on disclosure.

IAS 28 - The amendments issued in October 2017 clarify that the company must adopt the provisions of IFRS 9 - Financial instruments, to non-current investments in associates and joint ventures to whom the equity method is not applied. The amendments are applicable starting from 1 January 2019 and do not have a significant impact on the financial statements or on disclosure.

Annual amendments to IFRS 2015–2017 (IFRS 3, IFRS 11, IAS 12 and IAS 23) - In December 2017, the IASB published a series of annual amendments to IFRS 2015–2017 (IFRS 3, IFRS 11, IAS 12 and IAS 23). The amendments are applicable starting from 1 January 2019 and do not have a significant impact on the financial statements or on disclosure.

IAS 19 - In February 2018, the IASB published some amendments to IAS 19, that will require companies to revise assumptions for determining the cost and borrowing costs at each change of the plan. The amendments are applicable starting from 1 January 2019 and do not have a significant impact on the financial statements or on disclosure.

IFRIC 23 - In June 2017 the IASB published interpretation IFRIC 23 - Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments, which provides information on how to account for uncertainties over the tax treatment of a given phenomenon in the recognition of income taxes. IFRIC 23 came into force on 1 January 2019 and did not have a significant impact on the financial statements or on disclosure.

Accounting standards, amendments and interpretations not yet applicable

At the date of these Financial Statements, competent bodies of the European Union had not completed the approval process necessary for the application of the following accounting standards and amendments:

  • In May 2017, IASB issued the new standard IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts. The new standard will replace IFRS 4 and will be effective from 1 January 2021.
  • In October 2018, the IASB published some amendments to IAS 1 and IAS 8 that provide clarifications on the definition of "materiality". These amendments will apply from 1 January 2020.
  • In October 2018, the IASB published some amendments to IFRS 3 that amend the definition of "business". These amendments will apply from 1 January 2020.

The Group will adopt these new standards, amendments and interpretations, based on the application date indicated, and will evaluate potential impact, when the standards, amendments and interpretations are endorsed by the European Union.

Net intangible assets at 30 June 2019 amounted to €838,615 thousand, an increase of €4.8 million compared to 31 December 2018; the increase in the half year is almost entirely attributable to the intangible assets of the Piaggio group, mainly due to investments in the period, only partially offset by amortisation.

NB: The "Other changes" item includes the reductions for fully amortised intangible assets, translation differences relating to financial statements in foreign currencies, reclassifications and write-downs.

Development costs

Development costs mainly include costs for products and engines in projects for which there is an expectation for the period of the useful life of the asset to see net sales at such a level as to allow the recovery of the costs incurred. This item includes assets under construction for €26,855 thousand which instead represent costs for which the conditions for capitalisation exist, but refer to products that will go into production in future years.

With regard to the Piaggio group, during the first half of 2019, development costs of approximately €8.7 million were charged directly to the income statement. Borrowing costs related to loans for the development of long-term products are capitalised as a part of the cost of the actual assets. Development costs included under this item are amortised on a straight line basis over 5 years (founding products) or 3 years, in consideration of their remaining useful life.

With reference to the marine sector, at 30 June 2019 Intermarine S.p.A. had included investments in research projects, under intangible assets, net of amortisation, for €6.5 million.

Concessions, patents, industrial and similar rights

The net balance of this item, equal to €97,251 thousand at 30 June 2019, including assets under construction for €33,604 thousand, is mainly related to the Piaggio group (€96,978 thousand) and comprises software, patents and know-how, referring in particular to the Vespa, Piaggio MP3, Piaggio Medley, Piaggio New Porter and Moto Guzzi V85 vehicles. Increases for the period mainly refer to new calculation, design and production techniques and methodologies developed by the group, referring to main new products in the 2019-2020 range. Industrial patent and intellectual property rights costs are amortised over a period from three to five years.

Trademarks and licences

Trademarks and licences with a finite life, totalling €36,774 thousand, are broken down as follows:

Goodwill derives from the greater value paid compared to the corresponding portion of the investee companies' shareholders' equity at the time of the purchase, reduced by the related cumulative amortisation until 31 December 2003. In adopting international accounting standards for the first time, the Group chose not to apply IFRS 3 – Business Combinations retrospectively to acquisitions carried out prior to 1 January 2004. Accordingly, the goodwill generated by acquisitions made prior to the date of adoption of IFRS was left unchanged as previously calculated under Italian GAAP, subject to determination and reporting of any impairment losses. As of 1 January 2004 goodwill is no longer amortised: the recoverable value of the cash-generating unit to which the goodwill was allocated is verified by determining the recoverable value (value in use) and submitted to an impairment test, applying the method required by the International Accounting Standard IAS 36. Such value has been estimated on the basis of:

  • the present value of future financial flows over a multi-year forecasting period that are estimated to be generated by the continuous use of the assets relating to individual cash generating units ("Discounted Cash Flow" method in its "Unlevered" version); and
  • by the terminal value attributable to them (estimated according to the perpetual growth method), so as to reflect the residual value that each cash-generating unit is expected to generate beyond the planning timeframe and which is representative of the current value of future cash flows after the specific period of forecast financial data.

Lastly, it should be noted that the recoverability of goodwill is tested at least once a year (as of 31 December), even failing indicators of possible impairment.

When preparing the Financial Statements of the Immsi Group at 31 December 2018, with reference to Piaggio group cash-generating units, impairment testing was arranged in-house by Immsi S.p.A. company management, to produce an impairment report supporting the Parent Company's Board of Directors in application of the procedure required by IAS 36.

For the Piaggio group, it has been deemed reasonable to consider the Piaggio group cashgenerating unit as coinciding with the Piaggio group as a whole (Piaggio & C. S.p.A. and its subsidiaries). Therefore, all considerations relating to the estimated value in use of the cashgenerating unit and its use for impairment test purposes were developed by considering the Piaggio group at consolidated level. It should be noted that the book value of the goodwill allocated to such cash-generating unit is equal to around €579.5 million.

A s regards the Intermarine cash-generating unit, Intermarine S.p.A. coincides with the "marine sector" identified by the Immsi Group in its segment reporting in accordance with IFRS 8 – Operating Segments: the carrying amount of goodwill allocated to the cash-generating unit is equal to approximately €34.4 million.

Therefore, reference is made to the Notes on the Consolidated Financial Statements and Report at 31 December 2018 of the Immsi Group for more details on the principal assumptions used in determining the value in use of the cash-generating units Piaggio group and Intermarine. With reference to both cash-generating units, analyses carried out at 31 December 2018 did not indicate any impairment losses for the goodwill tested: therefore no write-down was made in the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Immsi Group at 31 December 2018.

As concerns the Piaggio group cash-generating unit, the management of the group verified, as for all cash-generating units internal to the Piaggio group, that the EBIT forecast in the approved budget and plan used for impairment testing at 31 December 2018 was basically achieved and that rates applied at the time were still valid. Therefore there are no indications of impairment of the goodwill and it was therefore unnecessary to conduct any impairment tests on the carrying amount of the goodwill recognised by the Immsi Group and allocated to the cash-generating unit Piaggio group.

With reference to the Intermarine cash-generating unit, there are no indications of goodwill impairment losses: EBIT for the first half of 2019 was basically in line with budget figures, and the rates applied at 31 December 2018 still seem valid. As observed during the analysis performed at 31 December 2018, impairment tests are based on forward-looking data that are uncertain and changeable by nature and that reflect changes in the company's order book and its future industrial and commercial strategies. This data, in particular, is essentially based on the acquisition of future contracts, in relation to which negotiations are currently under way with several foreign navies. In this regard, Intermarine's results in previous years showed significant changes with respect to figures forecast in the forward-looking financial data used, also due to several exceptional and unforeseeable events, such as flooding at the Intermarine site in Sarzana: given the intrinsically uncertain nature of the forward-looking data considered, it cannot be ruled out that these variances may continue to occur in the future.

Considering that the analyses conducted to estimate the recoverable value both for the Piaggio group cash-generating unit and for Intermarine cash-generating unit has also been determined on the basis of estimates, the Group cannot assure that there will not be a loss in value of the goodwill in future periods. Owing to the current context of the crunch in the markets of reference and in the financial markets, the different factors – both inside and outside the identified cash-generating units – used in drawing up the estimates could in the future be reviewed. The Group will constantly monitor these factors and the possible existence of future impairment losses.

NB: the item "Other changes" includes the translation differences relating to financial statements in foreign currencies, reclassifications and write-downs, as well as the effects of changes related to the first-time adoption of IFRS 16.

Property, plant and equipment primarily relate to the Intermarine S.p.A. industrial facility at Sarzana (La Spezia), the hotel and resort managed by Is Molas S.p.A. in Pula (Cagliari) and the Piaggio group's production plants located in Pontedera (Pisa), Noale (Venice), Mandello del Lario (Lecco), Baramati (India) and Vinh Phuc (Vietnam). The increases mainly relate to the construction of moulds for new vehicles launched during the period. Borrowing costs relative to loans for the construction of assets that are long-term prior to being ready for use are capitalised as a part of the cost of the actual assets.

Property, plant and equipment at 30 June 2019 include €1,858 thousand relative to freely transferable assets wholly owned by Intermarine S.p.A., consisting of light constructions, property and related restructuring costs, built on State land in the Municipality of Messina. Buildings constructed on State land are depreciated according to the residual duration of the concession: following the renewal of the concession for that area, the company adjusted the depreciation calculation based on the new information available. These assets, held because of a concession agreement, at its expiry, must be freely and in a perfect state of operation transferred to the granting body.

Finally, the assets described below – lands excluded – are depreciated at rates considered appropriate to represent their useful life and in any case according to a straight-line depreciation plan, for details of which reference is made to the Annual Report of the Immsi Group at 31 December 2018, in the section on "Accounting standards and measurement criteria".

At 30 June 2019 the net value of assets held through lease agreements amounted to €39.1 million, of which €28.7 million for rights of use, broken down as follows: buildings for €23.2 million, concessions for €0.9 million and other assets for €4.6 million. The increase in the period refers entirely to rights of use recognised as from 1 January 2019, in accordance with IFRS 16, which led to the recognition of rights of rights of use related to operating leases equal to the discounted value of payments due. Future lease commitments are detailed in the section on financial liabilities. For further details, reference is made to section D - Accounting standards and measurement criteria.

The Group also uses fully depreciated property, plant and equipment for approximately €24.9 million, of which €22.3 million relative to plant and machinery, €1.2 million relative to industrial and commercial equipment, and €0.4 million relative to other assets.

Guarantees

At 30 June 2019, the Group had land and property encumbered by mortgages or pledges in favour of financial institutions to guarantee bank borrowings. For more information, reference is made to the Annual Report of the Immsi Group at 31 December 2018, in the section on "Commitments, risks and guarantees".

At 30 June 2019, the Immsi Group recognised investment properties for €83,932 thousand, comprising the Immsi S.p.A. building in Via Abruzzi, Rome for €74,657 thousand and property, plant and equipment at the Piaggio group's Spanish site in Martorelles for €9,275 thousand.

,,993322

With reference to the building used by the Parent Company Immsi S.p.A. (in Via Abruzzi, Rome), as previously mentioned, since 2008 the Company has classified this as investment property, as defined in IAS 40: the carrying amount was reassessed to the market value at the date of change of destination (equal to €72.1 million), since it was no longer instrumental to the typical activity, but instead an asset usable to finance other ongoing investment activities. The greater value was entered in a specific reserve of shareholders' equity, net of the related tax effect. The investment is no longer subject to depreciation starting from the year 2009, as required by international accounting standards.

The valuation of the real estate investment is based on an appraisal of an external consultant that estimated the fair value at the end of 2018 in line with the value recognised in the Financial Statements at 31 December 2018. The valuation criteria used in this survey refer to generally accepted valuation methodologies and principles, using discounted cash flow analysis. During the first half of 2019, according to the Company's Directors, no events or circumstances occurred to suggest that the asset in question could have been significantly impaired.

Rental income referred to the building and recognised by Immsi S.p.A. during the first half of 2019 under Net revenues amounted to approximately €1.3 million. Connected costs mainly refer to ordinary maintenance and management of the building. Most of these costs are then charged to tenants as of building service regulations.

Mortgages are secured on the property in Rome, for a total of €90 million guaranteeing the loan obtained in 2010 and renegotiated at the end of 2015 with Banco BPM (the former Banco Popolare) for €45 million, which is expected to be settled in 2025. The building is not considered as a strategic asset by Management, therefore its valuation on the market in the near future cannot be ruled out.

As previously mentioned, investment property recognised by the Piaggio group refers to the Spanish site of Martorelles, where production was stopped in March 2013 and relocated to Italian sites.

The carrying value at 30 June 2019 was determined by a specific appraisal conducted by an independent expert who measured the fair value less cost of disposal based on a market approach (as provided for in IFRS 13). This analysis identified the total value of the investment as €9,275 thousand.

The Group uses the "fair value model" as provided for in IAS 40. Therefore, the measurement updated in 2019 resulted in a charge of €994 thousand, adjusted to fair value, being recognised under other costs in the income statement for the period.

For further details on the method used by the Group to measure property investments, reference is made to the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes at 31 December 2018.

The information required under IFRS 7 concerning the fair value measurement, as well as sensitivity to the variables used as a basis for the assessment, can be found in section P – Information on financial instruments.

- Non-current portion

Other non-current financial assets amounted to €6,498 thousand, and refer nearly entirely to the fair value of hedging derivatives of the Piaggio group, and in particular to the fair value of the cross currency swap on a private debenture loan.

The remaining part is attributable to the carrying amount of investments held in other smaller companies by the Piaggio group for an overall amount of approximately €37 thousand.

Non-current financial assets also include the investment held in Alitalia – CAI by Immsi S.p.A., which has remained unchanged compared to the previous year, at 2.18%. Considering events relative to the airline company and in particular the compulsory administration ordered in May 2017 and the full write-down of the investment in Alitalia – SAI by Alitalia – CAI, Company management decided to reset the carrying amount.

- Current portion

Other current financial assets totalled €6,052 thousand at 30 June 2019, an increase of €480 thousand compared to 31 December 2018.

The item includes the investment of 279,639 shares held by Immsi S.p.A. in Unicredit S.p.A.. As provided for by IFRS 9, the Company measured at fair value the equity package at 30 June 2019, equal to €3,028 thousand, recognising the adjustment, up by €261 thousand compared to the end of 2018, in other comprehensive income. These adjustments will not be subsequently transferred to operating profit (loss), but the Company may transfer the accumulated loss or profit to shareholders' equity, when the investment is sold.

Current financial assets also include €3,024 thousand relative to the short-term portion of the fair value of cross currency swaps on a private debenture loan.

The Piaggio group recorded deferred tax assets of €54,876 thousand, with €48,323 thousand from the subsidiary Intermarine S.p.A. and €15,850 thousand from the subsidiary Is Molas S.p.A., while the remaining portion of €3,962 thousand refers to other companies of the property and holding sector, net of eliminations and consolidation adjustments.

As regards the measurements to define the deferred tax assets, the Group mainly took account of i) the tax regulations in the various countries in which it operates; ii) their impact in terms of timing differences and any tax benefits deriving from the use of prior tax losses; iii) the estimated financial results over the medium/long term, for each individual company; iv) the tax rate in effect in the year when temporary differences occur; and v) the agreements and plans of national tax consolidation over a period of five years. In view of the above considerations and also for the sake of prudence, the tax benefits deriving from the losses carried forward and from temporary differences were not fully recognised.

Trade receivables and other receivables included under non-current assets total €14,127 thousand (net of the corresponding provisions for write-down of €1,203 thousand), against €18,460 thousand at 31 December 2018.

Trade receivables and other receivables (including the value of work in progress) included under current assets are as follows:

Other receivables 36,517 32,318
TOTAL 202,359 140,227

Current third party trade receivables amounted to €163,507 thousand at 30 June 2019, an increase of around €58,104 thousand compared to the value recorded at 31 December 2018: as already mentioned, the growth in this value is mainly linked to the seasonality of Piaggio group sales, which are mainly concentrated in the spring and summer months.

The item Trade receivables comprises amounts due from normal sales transactions, stated net of a provision for bad debts of €26,945 thousand, down by €7,779 thousand compared to 31 December 2018.

The balance of receivables with affiliated companies refers entirely to amounts due from Fondazione Piaggio and Consorzio CTMI, while receivables with joint ventures (equal to €2,131 at 30 June 2019) refers to amounts due from Zongshen Piaggio Foshan Motorcycle Co. Ltd., as indicated in the information on intergroup transactions and related party transactions, presented at the end of this document.

It should also be remembered that the Piaggio group transfers on a regular basis a large part of its trade receivables mainly with "without recourse" and "with recourse" clauses. Piaggio has signed contracts with some of the most important Italian and foreign factoring companies as a move to optimise the monitoring and the management of its trade receivables, besides offering its customers an instrument for funding their own inventories, for factoring classified as without the substantial transfer of risks and benefits. On the contrary, for factoring without recourse, contracts have been formalised for the substantial transfer of risks and benefits. At 30 June 2019, trade receivables not yet due and assigned without recourse totalled €169,892 thousand. Of these receivables, Piaggio received payment before natural settlement for €144,479 thousand. At 30 June 2019, advances received – both from factoring firms and from banks – on "with recourse" disposals of trade receivables totalled €17,834 thousand and are offset in current liabilities. In June 2019, the subsidiary Intermarine sold receivables without recourse to Banca Ifis, with inflows of €12,200 thousand.

Other receivables mainly include advances to suppliers of €12,807 thousand, chiefly recognised by the subsidiary Intermarine S.p.A. and accrued income and prepaid expenses totalling €10,454 thousand.

Finally the other receivables include the equivalent value of the works in progress to order net of the advance payments received, referable entirely to the subsidiary Intermarine S.p.A., whose composition is detailed as follows:

The net carrying amount of assets held for disposal amounts to €27,407 thousand, basically unchanged compared to 31 December 2018, and refers nearly entirely to the property portfolio of Pietra Ligure acquired at the public auction of the State in December 2007 for a total of €19.1 million and recognised under buildings held for disposal.

Gross assets held for disposal in the half year amount to €33.3 million, increasing by €5.8 million compared to the end of 2018, due to the adoption of IFRS 16 which led to the recognition of the right of use of an area equal to the current value of state concession payments for the concession in favour of Pietra Ligure S.r.l.. The adoption of the new standard required the financial liability related to the present value of future payments to be recognised as a contra entry under liabilities related to assets held for disposal. Net financial debt does not include these lease liabilities related to assets held for disposal. For an update on the progress of the project concerning the property portfolio of Pietra Ligure, see the Report on Operations of the Immsi Group at 31 December 2018.

The increase compared to the figure recorded at 31 December 2018 (€+22,680 thousand) is mainly attributable to the Piaggio group and refers to the production peak typical of the summer months, resulting from the aforementioned seasonal nature of the group's business. The above write-downs were necessary due to stocks of raw materials no longer usable in the production process and obsolete or slow-moving finished products and goods.

At 30 June 2019, the Piaggio group recognised, net of write-downs, inventories for €243,473 thousand referred to components, accessories, two-wheeler, three-wheeler and four-wheeler vehicles. Intermarine S.p.A. contributed €45,174 thousand, mainly concerning raw materials and products in progress for prototypes, own construction and repairs. Finally, Is Molas S.p.A. recorded €65,275 thousand of inventories at the half-year end relating to the hotel business, as well as work in progress and semi-finished products represented by land, volumes, costs for services and consultancy for the property development project relating to the allotment located in Is Molas - Cagliari.

The item Payables due to banks and the item Non-current bonds include loans treated, in accounting terms, according to the criterion of amortised cost. According to this criterion the nominal amount of the liability is deceased by the amount of the relative issuing and/or stipulation costs in addition to any costs linked to refinancing previous liabilities. The amortisation of these costs is determined on an effective interest rate basis, and namely the rate which discounts the future flows of interest expense and repayments of principle at the net carrying amount of the financial liability. Furthermore, some financial liabilities attributable to the Piaggio group are entered at fair value with recognition of the relative effects in the Income Statement.

Trade payables and other payables amounted to €669,015 thousand (compared to €549,036 thousand at 31 December 2018), of which €661,742 thousand (€541,935 thousand at 31 December 2018) is due within a year: the increase in this item during the first half of 2019 is mainly due to the seasonality of the Piaggio group's business.

Other payables 57,150 49,382
TOTAL 661,742 541,935

To facilitate access to credit for its suppliers, the Group has used factoring agreements since 2012, mainly supply chain financing and reverse factoring agreements. These operations did not change the primary obligation, nor substantially changed payment terms, so their nature is the same and they are still classified as trade liabilities.

At 30 June 2019, the value of trade payables covered by reverse factoring or supply chain financing agreements was equal to €226,385 thousand (€181,578 thousand at 31 December 2018).

Amounts due to joint ventures at 30 June 2019 primarily refer to the purchase of vehicles by the Piaggio group from the Chinese joint venture Zongshen Piaggio Foshan Motorcycle Co. Ltd..

The item "Provision for termination benefits" comprises termination benefits for employees of Italian companies belonging to the Immsi Group and includes post-employment benefits identified as defined benefit plans.

The item "Other provisions" is mainly attributable to the Piaggio group and includes i) provisions for personnel made by international companies of the group and ii) additional customer indemnity provisions, which represent the compensation due to agents in the case of the agency contract being terminated for reasons beyond their control. Uses refer to the payment of benefits already accrued in previous years, while allocations refer to benefits accrued in the period.

The economic / technical assumptions used to discount the value by the companies of the Immsi Group operating in Italy are described below:

Technical annual discount rate 0.35% - 1.00%;
Annual rate of inflation 1.50%
Annual rate of increase in termination benefits 2.625%

As regards the discount rate, the iBoxx Corporates AA or iBoxx Corporates A with a duration from 7 a 10+ were considered.

The table below shows the effects, in absolute terms, at 30 June 2019, which would have occurred following changes in reasonably possible actuarial assumptions:

Being an actuarial valuation, the results depend on the technical bases adopted such as - among others - the interest rate, the inflation rate and the expected turnover. A variation of these parameters could lead to a significant change in the liability estimated to date: similar impacts may be caused by unexpected changes in other technical bases.

The Provision for product warranties refers to allocations recognised at 30 June 2019 by the Piaggio group for €19,456 thousand and by Intermarine S.p.A. for €2,457 thousand for technical warranty operations on products covered by warranties, which are expected to be carried out in the contractual warranty period. As regards – in particular – the forecasts made by the Piaggio group, this period varies according to the type of goods sold and the market, and is also determined by the customer take-up to commit to planned maintenance. With reference to Intermarine S.p.A., the company allocates this reserve for maintenance under warranty to be carried out in the future years on naval vessels under construction, delivered during the year and/or in previous years, determined on the basis of the estimate of costs incurred in the past for similar vessels.

The provision for contractual risks refers mainly to charges which could arise from the ongoing negotiation of a supply contract in the Piaggio group.

Since 1 January 2004, goodwill has no longer been amortised but has been subjected to impairment tests at least annually: see the note on intangible assets for details of the activities carried out. The amortisation of intangible assets does not include goodwill impairment either in the first six months of 2019 or in the corresponding period of the previous year, as i) based on the results projected in long-term development plans prepared by Group companies and used in impairment tests carried out at 31 December 2018, and ii) based on analyses conducted by Group Management during the preparation of this Half-Yearly Financial Report at 30 June 2019, no need arose for any write-downs as goodwill was deemed to be recoverable through future cash flows.

This item includes the outcome of impairment testing relative to development costs, concessions, patents and similar rights, leading to the recognition of costs for €283 thousand (€508 thousand in the same period of 2018).

Considering that the analyses conducted to estimate the recoverable value for the Immsi Group cash-generating unit were also determined based on estimates, the Group cannot guarantee that there will be no goodwill impairment losses in future periods. Owing to the current climate of uncertainty on core and financial markets, the various factors – both inside and outside the cashgenerating units identified – used in preparing estimates could be revised in the future: the Group will constantly monitor these factors and the possible existence of future impairment losses.

in compliance with the CESR recommendation of 10 February 2005 "Recommendations for the consistent implementation of the European Commission's Regulation on Prospectuses", the net financial debt, as formulated, represents the items and activities monitored by the Group's management.

- N - DIVIDENDS PAID

As proposed by the Board of Directors on 25 March 2019 and approved by Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting on 14 May 2019, the Parent Company did not distribute dividends during the first half of 2019, nor in the first half of 2018.

- O - EARNINGS PER SHARE

Earnings per share

Earnings per share are calculated by dividing the income or loss attributable to parent company shareholders by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period, excluding treasury shares. The average number of shares in circulation is calculated by using the principle of retrospectively applying the changes in the number of shares in circulation.

First half of
2019

2018
Net profit attributable to ordinary shareholders (in thousands of euro) 12,771 11,400
Average weighted number of shares in circulation during the year 340,530,000 340,530,000
Basic earnings per share (in euro) 0.038 0.033

Diluted earnings per share

Diluted earnings per share are calculated by dividing the net income for the year attributable to Parent company Ordinary Shareholders by the average weighted number of shares in circulation during the year, taking account of the diluting effect of potential shares. Excluded from this calculation are any treasury shares held.

The Company has no category of potential ordinary shares at 30 June 2019, therefore the diluted income per share coincides with the above basic earnings per share.

Financial assets

The current and non-current financial assets are fully commented upon in Note F5 – Other financial assets, which reference is made to.

Financial liabilities

Current and non-current liabilities are fully commented on in Note G2 – Financial liabilities, to which reference is made. In this section the debt is divided by type and detailed by maturity.

The main loan agreements entered into by Group companies (fully described in the abovementioned note), require – in line with market practices for borrowers with a similar credit standing – compliance with:

1) financial covenants based on which the company is committed to meeting certain contractually agreed financial ratios. The most common and significant covenants include

~ 81 ~

Immsi Group

the ratio of net financial debt to EBITDA, net debt to shareholders' equity and EBITDA/net borrowing costs, measured on a company and/or consolidated basis according to definitions agreed with the lenders;

  • 2) negative pledges that limit the Company's capacity to establish collateral or other constraints on company assets;
  • 3) "pari passu" clauses, on the basis of which the loans will have the same repayment priority as other financial liabilities, and change of control clauses, which are effective if the majority shareholder loses control of the company;
  • 4) limitations on the extraordinary transactions the company may carry out.

The high yield debenture loan issued by Piaggio in April 2018 provides for compliance with covenants which are typical of international practices on the high yield market. In particular, the company must observe the EBITDA/Net borrowing costs index, based on the threshold established in the Prospectus, to increase financial debt defined during issue. In addition, the Prospectus includes some obligations for the issuer, which limit, inter alia, the capacity to:

  • 1) pay dividends or distribute capital;
  • 2) make some payments;
  • 3) grant collaterals for loans;
  • 4) merge with or establish some companies;
  • 5) sell or transfer own assets.

The measurement of financial covenants and other contract commitments is monitored by the Group on an ongoing basis, in particular, based on results at 30 June 2019, all covenants had been fully met.

Failure to comply with the covenants and other contract commitments of the loan and debenture loan, if not remedied in agreed times, may give rise to an obligation for the early repayment of the outstanding amount of the loan. For more details, see the information in Note G2 – Financial liabilities.

Lines of credit

At 30 June 2019 the Immsi Group had irrevocable credit lines up to expiry amounting to 1,044.2 million euros (1,058.7 million euros at 31 December 2018), details of which are given in the Note G2 – Financial liabilities.

Management of financial risks

The financial risks to which the Immsi Group believes to be potentially exposed to are:

  • the management of capital and the liquidity risk;
  • the exchange risk;
  • the interest rate risk; and
  • the credit risk.

In the Piaggio group, management of these risks is centralised and treasury operations are performed in the sphere of policy and formalised guidelines, valid for all the companies in the group.

Capitals management and liquidity risk

The liquidity risk derives from the possibility that available financial resources may not be sufficient to hedge, in the means and times, future disbursements generated by financial and/or commercial bonds.

~ 82 ~

Immsi Group

The Parent Company Immsi S.p.A. provides financing for the Group's subsidiaries and/or issues guarantees to facilitate their funding: these operations are regulated under normal market conditions.

With particular reference to the Piaggio group, to face such a risk, cash flows and the company's credit line needs are monitored and/or managed centrally under the control of the Group's Treasury Department, in order to guarantee an effective and efficient management of the financial resources as well as optimise the debt's maturity standpoint. Moreover, Piaggio & C. S.p.A. finances the temporary cash requirements of Group companies by providing direct or indirect short-term loans regulated in market conditions or through guarantees. Between Piaggio & C. S.p.A. and the European subsidiaries of the Piaggio group, there is also an active cash pooling zero balance system that enables the asset and liability balances of the subsidiaries to be reset daily, resulting in more effective and efficient management of liquidity in the euro area.

For a greater coverage of liquidity risk, at 30 June 2019 the Immsi Group had unused credit lines available for €386.6 million (€326.2 million at 31 December 2018), of which €161.6 million due within 12 months and €225 million due after 12 months.

The Directors believe that the currently available funds, in addition to those that will be generated from operating and financing activities, will enable the Group to meet its own needs arising from investments, management of working capital and repayment of debts when they become due, and will ensure an adequate level of operational and strategic flexibility.

Exchange rate risk management

The Immsi Group – particularly through the subsidiaries of the Piaggio group and through the subsidiary Intermarine S.p.A. – operates in an international context where transactions are conducted in currencies different from Euro. This exposes the Group to risks arising from exchange rates fluctuations: exchange-risk hedging contracts are entered into solely by companies belonging to the aforementioned groups.

In particular the Piaggio group has an outstanding exchange rate risk management policy which aims to neutralise the possible negative effects of the changes in exchange rates on company cash-flows. This policy analyses:

  • transaction exchange risk: the policy wholly covers this risk, which arises from differences between the exchange rate recorded in the financial statements for receivables or payables in foreign currency and the exchange rate recorded on the related collection or payment. To cover this type of exchange risk, the exposure is naturally offset in the first place (netting between sales and purchases in the same currency) and if necessary, by signing currency future derivatives, as well as advances of receivables denominated in currency;
  • translation risk: arises from the conversion into euro of the financial statements of subsidiaries prepared in currencies other than the euro during consolidation: the policy adopted by the Piaggio group does not require hedging of this type of exposure;
  • economic exchange risk: arises from changes in company profitability in relation to annual figures planned in the economic budget on the basis of a reference change (the "budget change") and is covered by derivatives. The items of these hedging operations are therefore represented by foreign costs and revenues forecast by the sales and purchases budget. The total of forecast costs and revenues is processed monthly and relative hedging is positioned exactly on the average weighted date of the economic event, recalculated based on historical criteria. The economic occurrence of future receivables and payables will occur during the budget year.

Cash flow hedging relating to the Piaggio group

At 30 June 2019, the Group had undertaken the following futures operations (recognised based on the settlement date), relative to payables and receivables already recognised to hedge the transaction exchange risk:

To hedge the business risk, cash flow hedging is adopted with the effective portion of profits and losses recognised in a specific shareholders' equity reserve. Fair value is determined based on market quotations provided by main traders. At 30 June 2019, the overall fair value of hedging instruments on the exchange risk recognised on a hedge accounting basis was positive, amounting to €136 thousand. During the first half of 2019, profits recognised in other comprehensive income amounted to €136 thousand, while losses of €15 thousand were reclassified from other comprehensive income to profit/loss for the period.

The subsidiary Intermarine S.p.A. generally hedges the risks deriving from exchange rate fluctuations through specific operations linked to individual orders that require billing in currencies other than the euro. At 30 June 2019, no forward sales contracts were ongoing.

In view of the above, a hypothetical 3% appreciation/depreciation of the Euro would generate, respectively, potential profits of €881 thousand and losses of €936 thousand.

Management of the interest rate risk

This risk arises from fluctuating interest rates and the impact this may have on future cash flows arising from variable rate financial assets and liabilities. The Group regularly measures and controls its exposure to the risk of interest rate changes, as established by its management policies, in order to reduce fluctuating borrowing costs, and limit the risk of a potential increase in interest rates. This objective is achieved through an adequate mix of fixed and variable rate exposure, and the use of derivatives, mainly interest rate swaps and cross currency swaps.

With reference to the Piaggio group, at 30 June 2019, the following hedging derivatives were taken out:

Fair value hedging derivatives (fair value hedging and fair value options): a Cross Currency Swap to hedge the private debenture loan issued by Piaggio & C. S.p.A. for a nominal amount of USD 75,000 thousand. The purpose of the instrument is to hedge both the exchange risk and interest rate risk, turning the loan from US dollars to euro, and from a fixed rate to a variable rate; the instrument is accounted for on a fair value hedge basis, with effects arising from the measurement recognised in profit or loss. At 30 June 2019, the fair value of the instrument was €9,485 thousand. The net economic effect arising from the measurement of the instrument and underlying private debenture loan was equal to €+270 thousand; the sensitivity analysis of the instrument and its underlying, assuming a 1% increase and decrease in the shift of the interest rates curve, showed a potential impact on the income statement, net of the related tax effect, of practically zero, assuming constant exchange rates; assuming a 1% appreciation and depreciation of the exchange rates, the sensitivity analysis identified a potential impact on the income statement, net of the related tax effect, of €-12 thousand and €+17 thousand respectively.

Moreover, the Parent Company Immsi S.p.A. activated an interest rate swap to change a part of flows for interest relative to loans with Banco BPM from a variable to a fixed rate. At 30 June 2019, the fair value of the instruments was negative at €12 thousand. In the half year, profit amounting to €12 thousand was recognised in other components of the statement of comprehensive income.

Credit risk

The Group considers that its exposure to credit risk is as follows:

30 June 31
2019 December
in thousands of euros 2018
Bank funds and securities 173,829 200,333
Financial assets 12,550 11,601
Tax receivables 41,684 27,345
Trade receivables and other receivables 216,486 158,687
Total 444,549 397,966

In particular, the Piaggio group monitors or manages credit centrally by using established policies and guidelines. The portfolio of trade receivables shows no signs of concentrated credit risk in light of the broad distribution of its own licensee or distributor network. In addition, most trade receivables are short-term. In order to optimise credit management, Piaggio & C. S.p.A. has established revolving programmes with some primary factoring companies for selling its trade receivables without recourse in Europe and the United States.

With reference to the subsidiary Intermarine S.p.A., which in view of the nature of its business can present receivables concentrated among a few customers, it is noted that the most significant customers in quantitative terms are represented by public bodies: moreover, in general production to order requires substantial advance payments by the customer as works progress, thereby reducing the credit risk.

With reference to the other companies of the Immsi Group, there is currently no significant exposure to credit risk.

Hierarchical fair value valuation levels

IFRS 13 – Fair Value Measurement applies as from 1 January 2013. The Standard defines fair value on the basis of 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. In the absence of an active market or market that does not operate regularly, fair value is measured by valuation techniques.

The standard defines a fair value hierarchy:

  • level 1: quoted prices in active markets for assets or liabilities measured;
  • level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable directly (prices) or indirectly (derived from prices) on the market;
  • level 3: inputs not based on observable market data.

The valuation techniques that refer to levels 2 and 3 must take into account adjustment factors that measure the risk of failure of both parties: to this end, the principle introduces the concepts of Credit Value Adjustment (CVA) and Debit Value Adjustment (DVA). The CVA allows the inclusion, in the determination of the fair value, of the credit risk of the counterparty, while the DVA reflects the insolvency risk of the Group.

IFRS 7 also requires the fair value of debts recognised on a amortised cost basis to be measured, for disclosure purposes only. The table below indicates these values:

in thousands of euros Nominal value Carrying amount Fair Value *

High yield debenture loan 250,000 240,400 260,675
Private debenture loan 2021 32,461 32,411 44,820
Private debenture loan 2022 30,000 29,897 30,300
EIB (fin. R&D 2016-2018) 45,714 45,645 45,311
Loan B. Pop. Emilia Romagna 20,000 19,956 19,241
Loan from Banco BPM 7,956 7,956 8,361
Revolving syndicated loan 2023 5,000 3,995 4,953
Syndicated loan 2023 62,500 62,096 61,963
UBI loan 10,880 10,865 12,239
MCC loan 8,039 8,039 7,928
Banca Ifis loan 6,500 6,467 6,667
VietinBank medium-term loan 7,780 7,780 8,054

*) the fair value deducts DVA related to the issuer, i.e. it includes the risk of insolvency of Piaggio.

For the other financial liabilities of the Immsi Group it is deemed that the book value is essentially similar to the fair value.

The table below shows the assets and liabilities measured at fair value at 30 June 2019, based on fair value hierarchical levels:

in thousands of euros Level 1 Level 2 Level 3

Other liabilities 0 (12) 0
Total liabilities 0 (40,939) 0
Balance at 30 June 2019 3,028 (31,303) 83,969

Hierarchical level 1 includes the carrying amount of the investment held by Immsi S.p.A. in UniCredit S.p.A., up by €261 thousand compared to 31 December 2018 following the increase in the share price recorded at the end of June 2019.

Hierarchical level 2 includes the positive value of the hedging derivatives attributable to the Piaggio group, among the assets, while the liabilities include, in addition to the value of financial instruments measured at fair value of the Piaggio group, the negative value of derivative financial instruments (Interest Rate Swap) attributable to the Parent Company Immsi S.p.A.

Hierarchical level 3 includes the fair value of investment property attributable to Immsi S.p.A. (located in Via Abruzzi, Rome) and the former Piaggio group site in Martorelles, Spain.

REVIEW REPORT ON CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

To the shareholders of IMMSI SpA

Foreword

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated condensed interim financial statements of IMMSI SpA and its subsidiaries (the IMMSI Group)] as of 30 June 2019, comprising the consolidated statement of financial position, the consolidated income statement, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the statement of consolidated cash flows, the statement of changes in consolidated shareholders' equity and related notes. The directors of IMMSI SpA are responsible for the preparation of the consolidated condensed interim financial statements in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 applicable to interim financial reporting (IAS 34) as adopted by the European Union. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on these consolidated condensed interim financial statements based on our review.

Scope of Review

We conducted our work in accordance with the criteria for a review recommended by Consob in Resolution No. 10867 of 31 July 1997. A review of consolidated condensed interim financial statements consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than a fullscope audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISA Italia) and, consequently, does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion on the consolidated condensed interim financial statements.

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the consolidated condensed interim financial statements of the IMMSI Group as of 30 June 2019 are not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 applicable to interim financial reporting (IAS 34) as adopted by the European Union.
