Half-Yearly Financial Report of the Immsi Group
The Half-Yearly Financial Report for the six months to 30 June 2021 was prepared in accordance with article 154-ter of Legislative Decree 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 2020 of the Immsi Group (to which reference is made for further details), excluding the indications in the Accounting standards and measurement criteria section, if applicable. The information in this Report is not therefore similar to the information of complete financial statements prepared in accordance with IAS 1.
The Group also considered IASB amendments and interpretations applicable as from 1 January 2021 (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").
Health emergency – Covid-19
During the first half of 2021, the public health situation remained a cause for concern throughout the world. Overall, the key to ending the crisis worldwide appears to be the rapid distribution of the vaccine among the population and its effectiveness against any new variants.
With regard to the Property and holding sector, it should be noted that the Parent Company Immsi S.p.A. is continuing to adopt operating procedures for its personnel in line with the general measures for the protection of public health and, at the same time, guaranteeing the continuity of its activities. This is also the case for its subsidiary Is Molas S.p.A., which, despite the limitations imposed by the health emergency, is continuing its commercial activities to seek potential villa buyers. The pandemic has had a significant impact on Is Molas S.p.A.'s business, in particular on the period in which the hotel has been open to the public (limited to 1 June 2021 onwards), on the general reduction in the flow of customers during the opening periods compared to pre-pandemic periods, and on the intermittent availability of its services. In response to the situation, a series of actions were taken to reduce costs (in view of postponing the hotel's opening), including optimising existing resources and utilising the support measures made available by the government. This made it possible to apply for access to welfare payments and protect existing jobs.
In regards to the industrial sector, since the virus first spread, the Piaggio group has taken all possible precautions to guarantee the safety of its employees' health at its sites.
Restricting the analysis to the most significant markets for the Piaggio group, it should be noted that in Europe and in the western world, while seasonal factors and the vaccination campaign have greatly reduced infections, there is still a risk that new variants could increase the transmissibility of the virus. New variants of the virus are spreading to countries such as the UK, Israel, Australia and Vietnam, which until recently seemed on the verge of overcoming the health emergency. What is currently more concerning is the situation in India, which is suffering from the lack of a mass vaccination plan.
The pandemic has made the need for safe personal transport increasingly important among the population – to the detriment of public transport, which is seen as a potential vector of transmission. The Piaggio group continues to work to seize the opportunities presented by
~ 6 ~
potential growth in demand, offering products that guarantee safe travel with low or no environmental impact.
The Piaggio group continues to manage the current scenario very carefully in terms of its commercial network of distributors and dealers, and in terms of its customers, to meet its commitments and to continue to offer maximum support.
The subsidiary Intermarine S.p.A., which operates in the marine sector, also maintained the measures it promptly put in place last year to comply with the requirements of the Government and relevant authorities to combat the spread of the Covid-19 virus to protect the community and the health of its workers, in accordance with regulations. In line with national legal provisions, during the first half of 2021 the company made use of the Covid-19 furlough scheme fund for a temporary reduction in work volumes; it also put in place a scheme for its workers to take holidays owed to them. From an economic and financial point of view, the Covid-19 pandemic has led to the interruption or slowing down of sales programmes with potential customers; in the first half of 2021, contact resumed, albeit at a slower pace, with navies to evaluate possible supplies of minesweepers under the Defence Programmes of various countries.
Information on operations
A recovery seen over the first half of 2021 was extremely positive for the Immsi Group. Volumes and financial indicators both showed growth compared to the same period of the previous year when the world first began to be affected by the Covid-19 virus, leading to the temporary shutdown of production activities, sales and services to customers – particularly in the industrial sector and tourist/hospitality industry.
All indicators were up on the figures for the first half of 2020: Turnover increased by 46.2%, EBITDA by 68.1% and net profit, including the portion attributable to non-controlling interests, was €31.2 million in the first half of 2021, compared to €0.9 million in the same period of 2020. Net financial debt at 30 June 2021 was equal to €792.3 million, down by 11.8% compared to the first half of the previous year (€898.8 million).
Moreover, even when compared to the first half of 2019, which was not impacted by the pandemic, turnover grew by 8.2%, EBITDA by 2.9% and profit, including non-controlling interests, by +21.6%. Net financial debt also decreased by €45.8 million compared to 30 June 2019.
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..

Alternative non-GAAP performance indicators
To facilitate understanding of the Immsi Group's economic and financial performance, in accordance with ESMA recommendations on alternative performance measures (ESMA/2015/1415), this Report contains some indicators which, although not set out under IFRS ("Non-GAAP Measures"), derive from IFRS financial measures.
These indicators are presented to allow a better assessment of the Group's operating performance and consist of those monitored by management, but 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 2020 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 other operators, as they are not specifically governed by the reference accounting standards and therefore might not be sufficiently comparable.
In particular, the following alternative performance indicators have been used:
- EBITDA: defined as operating income before amortisation/depreciation and impairment costs of intangible assets and plant, property and equipment, as reported in the consolidated income statement;
- Net financial debt (or net financial position): equal to financial liabilities (current and non-current) including trade payables and other non-current payables that include a significant component of implicit (or explicit) finance, minus cash and cash equivalents, and other current financial receivables. In derogation from the ESMA Guidelines 2021 / 32-382- 1138, described above, the Immsi Group has determined that net financial debt does not include other financial assets and liabilities arising from fair value measurements, interest accrued on loans to third party shareholders and financial liabilities related to assets held for sale. A detailed table highlighting the items that contribute to the indicator is included in this Report.

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.;
Overall, in the first half of 2021 the property and holding sector recorded a consolidated net loss of approximately €5.5 million, a worsening compared to the loss of €3.4 million reported in the same period of last year. The latter result benefited from the reversal of deferred tax assets on tax losses by the parent company Immsi S.p.A. of approximately €1.6 million allocated on the basis of forecasts calculating the likelihood of recovery.
Net debt of the sector was negative at €335 million, compared to €-319.4 million at 30 June 2020.
The Parent Company Immsi S.p.A. recorded a net profit for the period of approximately €4.6 million, compared to €11.9 million at 30 June 2020; the decrease is mainly due to lower dividends (€5.2 million) distributed by the subsidiary Piaggio & C. S.p.A. during the first half of 2021 compared to the same period of the previous year.
The net financial position showed net debt of €3.6 million, compared to approximately €6.8 million net cash at 31 December 2020, mainly because of the capital consolidation of the subsidiaries RCN Finanziaria S.p.A. and ISM Investimenti S.p.A. with reserves for the subscription of future capital increases through waivers of financial receivables with subsidiaries, for a total of €13.3 million, only partially offset by cash flows from dividends, as shown above.
The shareholders' equity of the Parent Company Immsi S.p.A. as at 30 June 2021 amounted to €379.8 million, an increase on the balance at the end of 2020, equal to €374.5 million, thanks mainly to the results for the period as well as the fair value adjustment of the Unicredit shares in the portfolio, recognised in the relevant equity reserve.
When preparing this Half-Yearly Financial Report at 30 June 2021, the Parent Company conducted specific impairment analyses and consideration, at a consolidated level, of the carrying amount of goodwill recognised, which did not result in any impairment to enter in the income statement. It did not conduct specific impairment analyses on the carrying amount of investments held in companies consolidated on a line-by-line basis, as these investments and amendments mainly arise from associated impairment tests that would have been eliminated in full during consolidation.
~ 10 ~
With regard to the real-estate activities of the subsidiary Is Molas S.p.A., it should be noted that commercial activities aimed at identifying possible buyers, including at an international level, are proceeding. It should also be noted that, after evaluation, the company has decided to allow the mock-up villas to be rented out in order to allow end customers – including investors – to better understand the product and the associated services offered (e.g. wellness and home catering), so as to be able to assess their profitability.
Revenues generated by the tourist-hotel and golf business in the first six months of 2021 (amounting to €0.5 million), increased by approximately €0.3 million compared to the same period of the previous year, an increase driven by the earlier opening of the hotel – from June 2021 compared to July last year. In terms of margins, the company recorded an operating loss of approximately €1.8 million and a net loss for consolidation purposes of €0.9 million, an improvement on the figure recorded for the same period of 2020.
The net debt of the company amounted to €77.2 million, with a cash flow absorption of €2.2 million compared to 31 December 2020 (when it stood at €75.1 million) due to net cash flows used by operations and investments in property, plant and equipment.
The consolidated net result of Pietra S.r.l. for the first half of 2021 is overall largely unchanged and in line with the result for the same period last year; net financial debt also remains broadly in line with 31 December 2020, at €2.8 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 €0.2 million (in line with the first half of 2020), and net financial debt amounted to €3.1 million (€2.8 million at 31 December 2020), in addition to financial debt relating to the discounting of cash flows related to the above concession (as provided for in IFRS 16) amounting to approximately €6.1 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 2020, to which reference is made. At 30 June 2021, the company posted a substantial break-even position and net debt that was more or less unchanged compared to 31 December 2020, at a negative value of €0.8 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 72.51% and Intermarine S.p.A. is the sole member, recorded a net loss for consolidation purposes for the Immsi Group of approximately €1.9 million (broadly in line with the first half of 2020), and net financial debt of €125.9 million at 30 June 2021, largely unchanged compared to 31 December 2020;
- ISM Investimenti S.p.A. recorded a net loss for consolidation purposes for the Immsi Group of approximately €2.3 million (down by approximately €0.3 million compared to the first half of 2020), and net financial debt at 30 June 2021 equal to €121.2 million, down by approximately €6.9 million compared to the figure at 31 December 2020, mainly due to Immsi S.p.A.'s waiver of financial receivables, converting them into reserves for future capital increases.
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 Intesa Sanpaolo S.p.A. which holds 27.36% in terms of voting rights. In this regard, considering the impairment testing at the end of 2020 and the 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'
~ 11 ~
equity of ISM Investimenti S.p.A. consolidated by Immsi S.p.A. was estimated to be 47.64%, unchanged compared to 31 December 2020 and an increase on the 41.81% consolidated at 30 June 2020.

In terms of consolidated turnover, the group ended the first half of 2021 with net revenues up compared to the same period in 2020 (+50.3%). It should be noted that production and sales were shut down in the first half of last year due to the public health emergency, which affected markets in EMEA, Americas and India.
At a geographic level, growth concerned, in particular, EMEA and Americas (+60.6%) and Asia Pacific (+64.0%; +74.1% at constant exchange rates), while in India, still negatively impacted by the pandemic, there was a very slight decline (-0.5%; -7.8% at constant exchange rates).
As regards the type of products sold, the increase mainly referred to two-wheeler vehicles (+62.7%). Commercial Vehicles, on the other hand, saw a slight increase (+6.2%) due to the difficulties encountered on the Indian market caused by the tough economic situation of the industrial and transport sector created by the pandemic. As a result, the percentage of Commercial Vehicles accounting for overall turnover dropped from 22.1% in the first half of 2020 to the current figure of 15.6%; vice versa, the percentage of two-wheeler vehicles went up from 77.9% in the first six months of 2020 to the current figure of 84.4%.
During the first half of 2021, the Piaggio group sold 287,100 vehicles worldwide, recording an increase of 36.5% compared to the first six months of the previous year, when vehicles sold amounted to 210,300. Sales increased in all geographic segments.
As regards product type, sales of Two-Wheeler vehicles grew (+49.0%) while sales of Commercial Vehicles fell (-6.5%).
Operating income before depreciation, amortisation and impairment costs (EBITDA) of the Piaggio group increased to €144.6 million (from €83.1 million in the first half of 2020). In relation to turnover, EBITDA was equal to 16.0% (13.8% in the first half of 2020). Operating income (EBIT), which amounted to €80.4 million, also showed a clear improvement compared to the first half of
~ 12 ~
2020; in relation to turnover, EBIT was equal to 8.9% (4.1% in the first half of 2020).
The result for financing activities recorded net charges amounting to €10.2 million (€9.6 million as of 30 June 2020), worse than the first six months of the previous year, despite a lower debt exposure, due to the reduced contribution from currency management.
Net profit stood at €43.5 million (4.8% of turnover), up on the figure for the same period of the previous financial year, when it amounted to €9.1 million (1.5% of turnover).
Net financial debt at 30 June 2021 of the Piaggio group was equal to €401.9 million, compared to €423.6 million at 31 December 2020. The decrease of approximately €21.8 million is attributable to cash flow from operating activities, and comes from the net profit adjusted for non-monetary costs and income, reduced by the absorption of cash by working capital and investment activities in capitalised development costs and property, plant and equipment and intangible assets. Borrowing decreased by approximately €126.7 million compared to 30 June 2020.
The market
Two-wheeler business
In the first six months of 2021, the Piaggio group sold a total of 242,800 two-wheeler vehicles worldwide, accounting for a net turnover equal to approximately €761.0 million, including spare parts and accessories (€69.5 million, +29.6%). All markets recorded positive performances. Overall, volumes grew by 49.0% while turnover grew by 62.7%.
On the European market, the Piaggio group attained an overall share of 13.0% in the first half of 2021, compared to 13.4% in the first half of 2020, confirming its leadership position in the scooter segment (23.0% in the first half of 2021 compared to 24.0% in the first half of 2020).
In Italy, the Piaggio group had a 17.7% share (16.9% in the first half of 2020), which is higher for the scooter segment, at 27.7% (27.0% in the first half of 2020).
In India, in the first half of 2021, the group recorded a considerable increase in sell-out volumes compared to the same period of the previous year, closing at 26,597 vehicles (+82.0%).
The group's position on the North American scooter market is growing, where it ended the period with a share of 35.1% (23.9% in the first half of 2020).
Commercial Vehicles business
During the first six months of 2021, the Commercial Vehicles business generated a turnover of approximately €140.7 million, up by 6.2% compared to the same period of the previous year.
All markets in EMEA and Americas reported a positive trend (+72.3% volumes; +57.1% turnover). In particular, the Italian market benefited from the sales launch of the new Porter NP6.
The Indian region, on the other hand, recorded a decrease (-16.3%; -9.2% at constant exchange rates) following a 16.8% drop in volumes.

With reference to the economic data of the marine sector, the first half of 2021 saw a decrease of 37.7% in net revenues (composed of turnover and changes in contract work in progress) compared with the same period of the previous year; this figure stood at €18.5 million, compared with €29.6 million in the first half of 2020.
Production progress, including completion of construction and deliveries, included:
- the Defence division, with €15.6 million (€21.5 million in the first half of 2020), mainly due to progress with the job order for the modernisation of Gaeta Class minesweepers for the Italian Navy, and the third integrated minesweeper platform for an Italian sector operator;
- the Fast Ferries and Yachts divisions, with a total of €2.9 million (8.1 million during the first half of 2020), mainly for activities at the Messina shipyard.
This led to negative EBIT in the first half of 2021 of €2.1 million (compared to a positive figure of €2 million in the same period in 2020), with its share of revenues down 11.6%, and a loss before taxes of €3.2 million, a decrease on the positive €1 million figure recorded in the first half of 2020. The net loss for consolidation purposes for the Immsi Group at 30 June 2021 amounted to €1.7 million, compared to a profit of €0.4 million during the first half of 2020.
The total value of the orders portfolio of the company amounted to €49.4 million at 30 June 2021 (mainly relating 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 €55.5 million at 30 June 2021, was up slightly compared to the balance at 31 December 2020 and 30 June 2020, equal to €50.5 and €50.9 million respectively.
Financial situation and financial performance
As described previously in the section "Health emergency – Covid-19", during the first half of 2021, the Immsi Group reported that all indicators had recovered from the previous reporting period, which was more adversely affected by the Covid-19 health emergency, leading to production and sales activities closing for several weeks.
At 30 June 2021 the structure of the Immsi Group was that attached to this Half-Yearly Financial Report, to which reference is made. The only change to the scope of consolidation has arisen due to Piaggio & C. S.p.A.'s buyback of 17,000 shares. The consolidated portion of shareholders' equity of the Piaggio group, which amounted to 50.21% at 30 June and 31 December 2020, was equal to 50.22% at 30 June 2021. For further details of changes, see section B of the Notes.
The Group prepares reclassified figures as well as the financial statement schedules required by law. A short description of the main balance sheet and income statement items is provided below the reclassified schedules. Further information on these items may be found in the Notes to the consolidated financial statements. Specific notes referring to the mandatory schedule items are omitted since the main aggregates coincide.

The Immsi Group's consolidated net revenues increased by approximately €290.7 million (+46.2%) to €920.7 million, mainly due to the contribution of the industrial sector (approximately €901.7 million) and the marine sector (approximately €18.5 million). Net revenues from the property and holding sector saw an improvement of around €0.5 million compared with the same period of the previous year.
Operating costs and other consolidated Group net costs in the first half of 2021 totalled €780.1 million (equal to 84.7% of net revenues), of which €757.1 million relating to the Piaggio group (84% of group net revenues).
Costs for materials totalled €560.4 million, equal to 60.9% of net revenues. The cost relating to the industrial sector amounted to €557.5 million, equal to 61.8% of net revenues of the sector.
Employee costs totalled €134.6 million, equal to 14.6% of net revenues. The largest part, €125.5 million (13.9% of net revenues of the sector), is attributable to the Piaggio group. The average paid workforce amounted to 6,674 employees compared to 6,690 in the first half of 2020, mainly attributable to the industrial sector. 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 in the first half of 2021 was approximately €140.6 million, equal to 15.3% of net revenues, compared to €83.6 million in the first half of 2020 (13.3% of net revenues for the period), an increase of €57 million (+68.1%).
~ 16 ~
Depreciation and amortisation for the period stood at €66.5 million (€64.2 million of which related to the industrial sector), representing 7.2% of turnover, down on the figure of 9.6% for the first half of 2020. Depreciation of property, plant and equipment amounted to €28 million (+€2.8 million compared to the figure for the first half of 2020), while amortisation of intangibles, excluding value adjustments on goodwill, totalled €38.6 million (€35.5 in the first half of 2020).
EBIT amounted to €74.1 million (+€51.1% compared to the first half of 2020), equal to 8% of net revenues, an increase on the figure of 3.7% for the same period of 2020.
EBIT did not include any impairment of goodwill in the first six months of 2021, nor in the same period of the previous year. In particular – as described in greater detail in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements as of 30 June 2021 (paragraph F1 "Intangible Assets") with reference to goodwill pertaining to the Piaggio group CGU – the analysis carried out by management to compare the actual result and the budgeted data for 2021, supplemented by forecast data for the 2022-2024 period, did not reveal any indicators that would require an update of the impairment test conducted for the purposes of the consolidated financial statements at 31 December 2020, thus confirming the results. As regards the goodwill pertaining to the Intermarine CGU, given the postponement of certain assumptions envisaged in the 2021-2025 business plan, management deemed it appropriate to carry out a sensitivity analysis approved by the Intermarine S.p.A. Board of Directors on 29 July 2021. This updates the 2021 data projections and the 2022- 2025 forecast and extends the evaluation to 2026, thus updating the related impairment test of the net capital employed of the Intermarine CGU at 31 December 2020. The analysis found writedowns unnecessary.
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.
Net financial expense amounted to €18.5 million, equal to 2.0% of the Group's net revenues (compared to a net expense of €17.8 million in the first half of 2020), and consists of negative balances of €10.2 million relating to the industrial sector (compared to €-9.6 million in the first half of 2020), €1 million relating to the marine sector (largely unchanged compared to the first half of 2020) and €7.2 million relating to the property and holding sector (the same figure as the first half of 2020). Net financial expense deteriorated compared to the first six months of the previous reporting period, due mainly to a reduction in the contribution from currency transactions (mainly in the industrial sector), which was offset only in part by a decrease in average indebtedness.
Profit before tax stood at €55.6 million at 30 June 2021, or 6% of net revenues, compared to €5.2 million (0.8% of net revenues) at 30 June 2020, with the industrial sector contributing €70.2 million, the marine sector a loss of €3.2 million and the property and holding sector a loss of €11.4 million.
Taxes for the period totalled approximately €24.4 million, compared to 4.3 million at 30 June 2020.
Net profit for the period, after taxation and net of non-controlling interests, totalled €14.6 million (1.6% of net revenues), an increase on the figure of €1.5 million at 30 June 2020 (0.2% of net revenues).

Notes: Current and non-current financial assets and liabilities are in line with the Immsi Group's definition of consolidated net financial debt. Assets held for sale and liabilities associated with assets held for sale have been reclassified to other non-current assets and other non-current liabilities, respectively.
Current assets at 30 June 2021 amounted to €844.3 million, up €147.1 million compared to 31 December 2020, and up €106.3 million compared to 30 June 2020. The increase compared to the end of 2020 is attributable to the growth in trade and other receivables (+€79.9 million) and inventories (+€72.7 million), mainly in relation to the Piaggio group due to the seasonality of the business. It was partially offset by the reduction in cash and cash equivalents.
Non-current assets at 30 June 2021 stood at €1,423.7 million against 1,430.7 million at 31 December 2020, a decrease equal to €7 million.
In particular, among non-current assets, intangible assets amounted to €875.9 million, up by €9.8 million compared to 31 December 2020, mainly due to the capitalisation in the industrial sector of development costs and know-how for new products and new engines. Tangible assets amounted to €336.5 million (in line with the end of 2020) and other assets amounted to €211.2 million (compared to €227.7 million at the end of 2020). This was mainly impacted by the Piaggio group selling the Martorelles site, listed under investment property, for €4.6 million in February.
Current liabilities at 30 June 2021 amounted to €1,249.6 million, up by €138.6 million compared to 31 December 2020, due to the increase in operating liabilities (+€134.5 million with +€139.3 million accounted for by the Piaggio group, primarily related to fluctuations in purchases), and current financial liabilities, which went from €481.3 million to €485.4 million.
~ 18 ~
Non-current liabilities at 30 June 2021 stood at €623.3 million, down by approximately €31.3 million from €654.9 million at 31 December 2020. Consolidated shareholders' equity attributable to the Group and non-controlling interests totalled €394.8 million at 30 June 2021, of which €153 million was attributable to non-controlling interests.

Net financial debt went down from €802.9 million at 31 December 2020 to 792.3 million at 30 June 2021, mainly due to cash generated internally (+€131.6 million) and the disposal of property, plant and equipment (+€5.7 million). This was partially offset by fluctuations in working capital (- €50.3 million), net investments in property, plant and equipment and intangible assets for the period, almost entirely relating to the Piaggio group (-€73.9 million), and dividends paid to noncontrolling interests (-€4.6 million).
Net debt at 30 June 2021, shown in accordance with the ESMA guidelines 32-382-1138 of 4 March 2021, is analysed below and compared with the same figures at 31 December 2020 and 30 June 2020.

The Immsi Group carries out research, development and innovation activities through the Piaggio group which, in the first half of 2021, continued its commitment to maintaining technological leadership in the sector, and through subsidiary Intermarine S.p.A., whose research and development activities mainly concern new projects for vessels and prototypes, production technologies, plant innovations and innovative materials.
For an in-depth analysis of the projects supported by the Group and the resources allocated to them, please refer to the Products and Services Dimension paragraph in the Consolidated nonfinancial statement pursuant to Legislative Decree 254/2016 of the Immsi Group contained in the Directors Report and Financial Statements at 31 December 2020 and the Product Dimension paragraph of the Piaggio group's 2020 Corporate Social Responsibility report.
Risk factors
Due to the nature of its business, the Group is exposed to different types of risks. For this reason, the Group has developed procedures at both the Parent Company level and in its main subsidiaries to manage risks in the most exposed areas. These risks are identified at a strategic, external, operational and financial level, and also take into consideration sustainability issues, in particular so-called "ESG" (Environmental, Social and Governance related) risks, i.e. those related to environmental factors, personnel, social aspects and human rights and the fight against active and passive corruption. Details are provided in the Consolidated Non-Financial Statement at 31 December 2020.
Strategic risks
Reputational and Corporate Social Responsibility risk – In carrying out its operations, the Group could be exposed to stakeholders' perception of the Group and its reputation and their loyalty changing for the worse because of the disclosure of detrimental information or due to sustainability requirements in the Non-financial Statement published by Immsi S.p.A. and Piaggio & C. S.p.A. and in the CSR Report published by Piaggio & C. S.p.A. not being met, as regards economic, environmental, social and product-related aspects.
Risks related to defining strategies – In defining its strategic objectives, the Group could make errors of judgment with a consequent impact on its image and financial performance.
Risks related to adopting strategies – In carrying out its operations, the Group could be exposed to risks from the wrong or incomplete adoption of strategies, with a consequent negative impact on achieving the Group's strategic objectives.
External risks
Risks related to the macroeconomic and geopolitical context – To mitigate any negative effects arising from the macroeconomic and geopolitical context, the Group and in particular the Piaggio group continued its strategic vision, diversifying operations at international level – in particular on markets in the Asian area Asia where growth rates of economies are still high, and consolidating the competitive positioning of its products. To achieve this, the Group focuses on research activities, and in particular on the development of engines with a low consumption and a low or zero environmental impact.
Risks related to consumer purchasing habits – The success of the Group's products depends on its ability to manufacture products that cater for consumer's tastes and – with particular reference to the Piaggio group – can meet their needs for mobility.
With reference to the subsidiary Intermarine, however, the success of the company in the different lines of business in which it operates depends on the ability to offer innovative and high quality products that guarantee the performance demanded by customers, in terms of lower fuel consumption, higher performance, greater passenger transport capacity, greater cruising comfort, handling and safety of the vessels used, among other things, in the defence and control of territories.
If the products of the Immsi Group companies were not appreciated by customers, revenues or, further to more aggressive sales policies in terms of discount drives, margins would be lower, and this would have a negative impact on the related economic and financial situation. To tackle this risk, the Group has always invested in research, development and innovation activities to enable it to optimally meet customer needs and anticipate market trends by introducing innovative products. Levering customer expectations and emerging needs, with reference to its product range and customer experience is essential for the Piaggio group to maintain a competitive edge. Through market analysis, focus groups, concept and product testing, investments in research, development and innovation and sharing its roadmap with suppliers and partners, Piaggio aims to capitalise on emerging market trends to renew its own product range. Customer feedback enables Piaggio to evaluate customer satisfaction levels and fine tune its own sales and after-sales service model.
Risks related to the high level of market competition – Over the last few years, the characteristics and dynamics of the competitive background of markets on which the Group operates have changed considerably, above all regarding prices, also due to a declining demand worldwide. In addition, the Group is exposed to the actions of competitors that, through technological innovation or replacement products, could obtain products with better quality standards and streamline costs, offering products at more competitive prices.
The Piaggio group has tried to tackle this risk, which could have a negative impact on the financial position and performance of the Group, by manufacturing high quality products that are innovative, cost-effective, reliable and safe, and by consolidating its presence in Asia.
With reference to the marine sector, and the mine sweeping platforms segment, Intermarine has a considerable technological edge over the competition, while the Fast Ferries division is affected in particular by a context in which the owners currently prefer carrying out repairs on operating vessels rather than investing in new constructions. Pending the identification of ship owners that have investment plans to replace vessels in operation, the company has reduced the activity of this division to the minimum while remaining in the market.
Risk related to the regulatory and legal framework – Numerous national and international laws and regulations on safety, noise levels, consumption and the emission of pollutant gases apply, in particular to Piaggio products. Strict regulations on atmospheric emissions, waste disposal, the drainage and disposal of water and other pollutants also apply to the group's production sites.
Unfavourable changes in the regulatory and/or legal framework at a national and international level could mean that products can no longer be sold on the market, forcing manufacturers to invest to renew their product ranges and/or renovate/upgrade production plants.
To deal with these risks, the Group has always invested in research, development and product innovation to anticipate any tightening of current regulations. Moreover, representatives from the Piaggio group, as one of the sector's leading manufacturers, are often requested to participate on parliamentary committees appointed to discuss and formulate new regulation.
Risks related to natural events and climate change – The Group operates through industrial sites located in Italy, India and Vietnam. These sites could be affected by natural events, such as earthquakes, typhoons, flooding and other catastrophes that may damage sites and also slow
~ 22 ~
down/interrupt production and sales.
Continual renewal of the sites prevents these risk scenarios. The potential impact of these risks is mitigated by specific insurance cover taken out for various sites based on their relative importance.
Pandemic-related risks – If a pandemic spreads and measures are adopted by various governments to contain the virus, the Group (in particular the industrial sector) could be negatively affected following interruptions to:
-
the procurement chain: suppliers might no longer be able to produce/deliver the components necessary to supply production sites;
-
production activities: the Group might no longer be able to use the workforce, following government regulations limiting personal movement, or it might be impossible for the company to guarantee a healthy, protected work environment;
-
sales activity: measures to contain the spread of the virus could require sales outlets to be closed, or the Group might not be able to supply the sales network.
The Piaggio group has tried and is trying to deal with this risk, which could negatively affect the Group's financial position and performance following a possible decrease in revenues, profitability and cash flows, thanks to a global sourcing policy, a production capacity distributed across different continents and a sales network present in over 100 nations.
As far as the marine sector is concerned, the continuation of the Covid-19 health emergency, in addition to the suspension and postponement of production activities and consequent delays to the operating stages of ongoing contracts, would also mean an interruption or slowing of sales activity with potential customers. The Intermarine S.p.A. subsidiary is mitigating this risk, which could have a negative impact on the company's economic and financial position, by resuming and intensifying to the greatest extent possible its commercial relations with navies in the area of various foreign countries' defence programmes, as well as by entering into strategic agreements with leading operators in the marine defence industry to seek new commercial and research and development opportunities.
The tourist-hotel sector is also significantly impacted by the spread of the Covid-19 pandemic, in particular by: the opening period of the hotel, the general reduction in the flow of customers when open; the availability of the services offered; and the development of business contacts aimed at identifying potential customers for the real estate project. In response to the situation, the Is Molas S.p.A. subsidiary scrupulously follows all guidelines and relevant measures issued by the various authorities to protect its guests and employees, thus effectively protecting their health. It also promptly utilises all the cost-reducing and support measures made available by the government.
In addition, during the Covid-19 pandemic, measures were adopted in the Group's plants, as well as in the administrative offices of the companies belonging to the Group, to ensure: social distancing; the sanitisation of workstations and common areas; the adoption of specific PPE; and the introduction of smart working. These measures remain partially in force.
The activity is overseen by anti-Covid committees at a company level throughout the Group.
Risk related to the adoption of new technologies – The risk related to the adoption of new technologies is associated above all with the Piaggio group, which is exposed to risk arising from the difficulty of keeping abreast with new technologies, both in terms of products and the production process. To tackle this risk, departments at Pontedera in Italy and PADc – the Piaggio Advance Design Center in Pasadena are dedicated to research, development and trialling new technological solutions (thanks also to Aprilia Racing's experience in MotoGP racing), while Piaggio Fast Forward in Boston is studying innovative solutions to anticipate and meet future mobility needs.
~ 23 ~
Risks related to the sales network – The Piaggio group's business is closely related to the sales network's ability to guarantee end customers a high quality sales and after-sales service. The Piaggio group deals with this risk by establishing specific technical/professional standards to adopt in contracts, and by adopting periodic controls.
Operating risks
Product-related risks – The Group has to deal with risks related to product defects due to nonconforming quality and safety levels.
The risk for the Piaggio group relates to consequent recall campaigns, that would expose Piaggio to: the costs of managing campaigns, replacing vehicles, claims for compensation and above all if faults are not managed correctly and/or are recurrent, damage to its reputation. A product nonconformity may be due to potential errors and/or omissions of suppliers, or internal processes (i.e. during product development, production, quality control). To mitigate these risks, the Piaggio group has established a Quality Control system, it tests products during various stages of the production process and carefully sources its suppliers based on technical/professional standards. The group has also defined plans to manage recall events and has taken out insurance to protect the group against events attributable to product defects.
To deal with product risk, the Intermarine S.p.A. subsidiary normally adopts a type of contract that also includes assistance and logistics packages which are formalised in agreements regulating acquired contracts.
Risks related to the production process/business continuity – The group is exposed to risk connected with possible interruptions to company production, due to the unavailability of raw materials or components, skilled labour, systems or other resources.
To deal with these risks, the Group has necessary maintenance plans, invests in upgrading machinery, has a flexible production capacity and sources from several suppliers of components to prevent the unavailability of one supplier affecting company production.
Moreover, the operating risks related to industrial sites in Italy and other countries, as regards the Piaggio group, are managed through specific insurance cover assigned to sites based on their relative importance.
Risks related to the supply chain – In carrying out its operations, the Group sources raw materials, semi-finished products and components from a number of suppliers.
As regards the Piaggio group, operations are conditioned by the ability of its suppliers to guarantee the quality standards and specifications requested for products, as well as their delivery times. To mitigate these risks, the Piaggio group qualifies and periodically evaluates its suppliers based on professional/technical/financial criteria in line with international standards.
With reference to the marine sector, the Intermarine S.p.A. subsidiary acquires raw materials, contracts and services from a large number of external suppliers with specific expertise, in particular in ship fitting. The close cooperation between producers and suppliers is common in the fields where the company operates and, while it may lead to economic benefits in terms of lower costs and greater flexibility, it also means that companies must rely on these suppliers. Supplier difficulties could have a negative impact, causing interruptions in and/or delays to production activities, with the risk of not meeting deadlines. For this reason, the company chooses its suppliers carefully.
Risks related to the environment and health and safety – The Group has production sites, research and development centres and sales offices in different nations and so is exposed to the risk of not being able to guarantee a safe working environment, with the risk of causing potential harm to property or people and exposing the Group to legal sanctions, lawsuits brought by employees, costs for compensation payments and reputational harm.
~ 24 ~
To mitigate these risks, the Piaggio group adopts a sustainable development model that is based on environmental sustainability, in terms of safeguarding natural resources and the possibility that the ecosystem might absorb the direct and indirect impact of production activities. Specifically, the Piaggio group seeks to minimise the environmental impact of its industrial activities through careful definition of the technological transformation cycle and use of the best technologies and most modern methods of production.
The subsidiary Intermarine S.p.A. also adopts systems aimed at the most efficient management and monitoring of environmental and health and safety-related risks associated with its production activities. In particular, the shipyards at Sarzana and Messina have Environmental certification (Iso 14001), issued by RINA. Although not yet certified, all sites have also adopted the same Integrated Management System which also covers health and safety (ISO 45001).
The risks related to accidents/injuries sustained by personnel are mitigated by aligning processes, procedures and structures with applicable Occupational Safety laws, as well as best international standards.
These commitments are set out in the Codes of Ethics of Group companies. For the Piaggio group, these commitments are also stated by top management in the group's "environmental policy" which is the basis for environmental certification (ISO 14001) and health and safety certification (ISO 45001 for Italian sites and BSOHSAS 18001 for India) already awarded and maintained at production sites. The commitments are an important benchmark for all company sites, no matter where they are operating.
Risks related to processes and procedures adopted – The Group is exposed to the risk of shortcomings in planning its company processes or errors and deficiencies in carrying out operations.
To deal with this risk, the Group has established a system of directives comprising organisational notices and Manuals/Policies, Management Procedures, Operating Procedures and Work Instructions. For the Piaggio group, all documents relating to group processes and procedures are part of the single group Document Information System, with access that is regulated and managed on the company intranet.
Risks related to delays in the completion of orders – With particular reference to the subsidiary Intermarine S.p.A. operating in the marine industry, any delay in the completion of contracts in progress may lead to customers requesting penalties for late delivery where contractually agreed, with the risk of reducing the overall profitability of orders and reducing financial assets.
On the other hand, the company could pass on the effect of the impact on delivery times, for delays in deliveries and in completing services and for failing to pass tests, with the need to perform the tests again, to its subcontractors.
Risks related to human resources – The main risks the Group is exposed to concerning human resources management include the ability to recruit expertise, professionalism and experience necessary to achieve objectives. To offset these risks, the Group has established specific policies or practices for recruitment, career development, training, remuneration and talent management, which are adopted in all countries where it operates according to the same principles of merit, fairness and transparency, and focusing on aspects that are relevant for the local culture.
The employees of Group companies are protected by laws and collective labour contracts that guarantee them – through local and national representation – the right to be consulted on specific matters, including programmes related to the use of staff in accordance with ongoing job orders.
In Europe, the Piaggio group operates in an industrial context with a strong trade union presence, and is potentially exposed to the risk of strikes and interruptions to production activities.
In the recent past, the Group was not affected by major interruptions to production because of
~ 25 ~
strikes. To avoid the risk of interruptions to production activities, as far as possible, the Group bases its relations with trade union organisations on dialogue.
Legal risks – The Group legally protects its products and brands throughout the world. In some countries where the Group operates, laws do not offer certain standards of protection for intellectual property rights. This circumstance could render the measures adopted by the Piaggio group in particular to protect itself from the unlawful use of these rights by third parties inadequate. Within the framework of its operations, the Group is involved in legal and tax proceedings. As regards some of the proceedings, the Group could be in a position where it is not able to effectively quantify potential liabilities that could arise. As regards legal proceedings, please refer to the "Disputes in progress" section.
Risks related to internal offences – The Group is exposed to risks of its employees committing offences, such as fraud, active and passive corruption, acts of vandalism or damage that could have negative effects on its business results in the year, and also harm the image and integrity of the company and its reputation. To prevent these risks, the Group has adopted Models pursuant to Legislative Decree no. 231/2001 and Codes of Ethics which set out the principles and values the entire organisation takes inspiration from.
Risks related to financial disclosure – The Group is exposed to the risk of possible inadequacies in its procedures that are intended to ensure compliance with main Italian and foreign regulations applicable to financial disclosure, running the risk of receiving fines and other sanctions. In particular, it is exposed to the risk that financial reporting for Group stakeholders is not accurate and reliable due to significant errors or the omission of material facts and that the Group provides disclosure required by applicable laws in a manner which is inadequate, inaccurate or untimely. To deal with these risks, the financial statements are audited by Independent Auditors. Moreover, the control activities required by Law 262/2005 were extended to the most important subsidiaries.
Risks relating to ICT Systems – In regards to this area, the main risk factors that could compromise the availability of the Group's ICT systems include cyber attacks. These attacks could stop activities that support production and sales or compromise the confidentiality of personal data managed by the Group. In order to mitigate the occurrence of these risks, the Piaggio group in particular has developed operating policies and technical security measures to ensure adequate protection of company data and information; it has also implemented a centralised control system to improve the group's IT security.
Other risks – In the specific case of the Parent Company Immsi S.p.A., in consideration of its nature as a holding company and the different phase of development and advancement of investments made both directly and through subsidiaries, its financial performance and profitability are strictly related to the financial performances of subsidiaries.
Financial risks
Risks related to insufficient cash flows and access to the credit market – The Group is exposed to the risk arising from the production of cash flows that are not sufficient to guarantee payments due, or adequate profitability and growth to achieve strategic objectives. Moreover, this risk is connected with the difficulty the Group may have in obtaining loans or a worsening in conditions of loans necessary to support Group operations in appropriate time frames. The debt indicated above could also negatively affect Group operations in the future, limiting its capacity to obtain further financing or to obtain it at more favourable conditions. In particular, over the next 12 months several credit lines whose renewal is critical in order to continue operating will reach maturity. A detailed examination of these lines is provided in the Notes.
~ 26 ~
Immsi Group Condensed Half-Yearly Financial Report and Notes
To face this risk, the Group's cash flows and credit line needs are monitored constantly by management or, in the case of the Piaggio group, managed centrally under the control of the group's Treasury Department, in order to guarantee an effective and efficient management of financial resources, as well as optimise the debt's maturity standpoint.
The Parent Company Immsi S.p.A. where necessary assists its subsidiaries with credit lines, in order to guarantee support for implementing development plans. Piaggio & C. also finances the temporary cash requirements of group companies by providing direct short-term loans regulated in market conditions or through guarantees.
In addition, the Parent Company, Immsi S.p.A., constantly monitors the share prices of Piaggio securities in its portfolio or those pledged as guarantees for existing loans. Due to market volatility, these could affect its ability to obtain new liquidity and/or renew existing lines of credit.
Exchange rate risks – The Group, primarily through Piaggio group companies and the Intermarine S.p.A. subsidiary, undertakes operations in currencies other than the Euro and this exposes it to the risk of fluctuating exchange rates across different currencies. Exposure to business risk consists of envisaged payables and receivables in foreign currency, taken from the budget for sales and purchases reclassified by currency and accrued on a monthly basis. With reference to the Piaggio group, the policy is to hedge at least 66% of the exposure of each reference month. Exposure to the settlement risk consists of receivables and payables in foreign currency acquired in the accounting system at any moment. The hedge must at all times be equal to 100% of the import, export or net settlement exposure for each currency. Over the course of the year, the exchange risk has been managed in line with the current policy, which aims to neutralise the possible negative effects of exchange rate changes on company cash flow, by hedging the business risk, which concerns changes in company profitability in relation to the annual business budget on the basis of a key change (the so-called "budget change") and the settlement risk, which concerns the differences between the exchange rate recorded in the financial statements for receivables or payables in foreign currency and that recorded in the related receipt or payment. For further information on exchange rate risk hedging instruments used in particular by the Piaggio group, please refer to the section in the Notes titled Information on financial instruments
Interest rate risks – The Group has assets and liabilities which are sensitive to changes in interest rates and are necessary to manage liquidity and financial requirements. These assets and liabilities are subject to an interest rate risk and are hedged by derivatives or, where necessary, by specific fixed-rate loan agreements. For a more detailed description, see the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Credit risk – The Group is exposed to the risk of late payments of receivables. This risk is connected with any downgrading of the credit rating of customers and consequent possibility of late payments, or the insolvency of customers and consequent failure to receive payments. To balance this risk, the Group evaluates the financial reliability of its business partners. Piaggio & C. S.p.A. also stipulates agreements with leading factoring companies in Italy and other countries, for the sale of trade receivables without recourse.
Risks related to deleverage – This risk is connected with compliance with covenants and targets to reduce loans, to maintain a sustainable debt/equity balance.
To offset this risk, the measurement of financial covenants and other contract commitments is monitored by the Group on an ongoing basis.
Human resources
At 30 June 2021, the Immsi Group employed 6,695 staff, of which 97 in the property and holding sector, 6,348 in the industrial sector (Piaggio group) and 250 in the marine sector (Intermarine S.p.A.). The following tables divide resources by category and geographic segment:

Furthermore, the Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting of Immsi S.p.A. of 30 April 2021 approved a plan for the purchase and disposal of ordinary shares of the Company, revoking the previous authorisation of the Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting of Immsi S.p.A. of 14 May 2020.
On 14 May 2021, following the aforementioned approval at the Shareholders' Meeting, the Board of Directors of Immsi S.p.A. resolved to start a treasury share purchase programme; this is a useful strategic investment opportunity for all purposes allowed under applicable laws, including those envisaged in Article 5 of Regulation (EU) 596/2014 (Market Abuse Regulation, "MAR") and in the practices permitted by Consob pursuant to Article 13 of the MAR, where applicable. Among these is the purpose of purchasing treasury shares with a view to their subsequent cancellation.
The purchase of shares connected with the adoption of the programme will be based on the procedures and limits established by the above-mentioned resolution of the shareholders' meeting and specifically:
- the purchase may concern a maximum of 10,000,000 Immsi ordinary shares, with no nominal value indicated, for a maximum value of €10 million and, therefore, within the limits established by law (20% of the share capital, pursuant to Article 2357, paragraph 3, of the Italian Civil Code);
- the purchase of treasury shares must be within the limits of profit that may be distributed and available reserves as resulting from the last, also interim, financial statements approved at the time the operation takes place;
- purchases of treasury shares will be made on the regulated market in such a way as to ensure equal treatment of shareholders pursuant to Article 132 of Legislative Decree 58/1998, with a gradual approach deemed appropriate to the interests of the Company and as permitted by current legislation, according to the procedures established in Article 144-bis, paragraph 1, letter b) of Consob Regulation 11971/1999, as subsequently amended. Purchases should also take into account the conditions relating to negotiation referenced in Article 3 of the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 1052/2016 ("Regulation 1052") in compliance with the MAR, as well as the practices accepted by Consob pursuant to Article 13 MAR, where applicable (i) to a consideration that is no higher than the price of the last independent transaction or the price of the highest independent offer currently available in the trading venues where the purchase is made (whichever is higher). The unit price cannot in any case
~ 29 ~
be less than a minimum of 20% and a maximum of 10% higher than the arithmetic mean of the official Immsi share price in the ten trading days prior to each individual purchase; (ii) for volumes of more than 25% the average daily volume of Immsi S.p.A. shares traded on a regulated market on which the purchase is carried out, calculated according to the parameters as of Article 3 of Regulation 1052;
• the purchase programme may also take place in several tranches, ending by 29 October 2022.

Disputes in progress
For information on disputes taking place at a Group level, reference is made to the Directors' Report on Operations of the Immsi Group at 31 December 2020, in the section entitled "Disputes in progress", with the exception of more important aspects, which are reported below.
As regards the industrial sector (Piaggio group):
- In 2010, Piaggio took action to establish an arbitration board through the Arbitration Chamber of Milan, for a ruling against some companies of the Case New Holland group (Italy, Holland and the US), to recover damages under contractual and noncontractual liability relating to the execution of a supply and development contract of a new family of utility vehicles (NUV). In the award communicated on 3 August 2012, the Board rejected the claims made by the company. The company filed an objection with the Milan Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal by Piaggio, by ruling of 8 June 2016. The Company filed an appeal with the Court of Cassation. In the meantime, the parties reached a settlement agreement, waiving their claims and putting an end to the dispute.
- In June 2011 Elma srl, a Piaggio dealer, started two separate proceedings against the Piaggio & C. S.p.A., claiming the payment of approximately €2 million for alleged breach of the sole agency ensured by Piaggio for the Rome area and an additional
~ 30 ~
€5 million as damages for alleged breach and abuse of economic dependence by the Company. Piaggio opposed the proceedings, disputing the claims and requesting a ruling for it to pay the outstanding sums owing of approximately €966 thousand.
During the case, Piaggio requested the enforcement of over €400 thousand of bank guarantees furnished in its favour to ensure against the risk of default by the dealer. In a ruling by the Court of Pisa, the Judge rejected all of Elma's claims, ordering it to pay Piaggio a sum of approximately €967 thousand plus interest, minus the above sum already collected by Piaggio. The company will have to pay Elma (with compensation) the sum of approximately €58 thousand plus interest. On 14 January 2020, Piaggio filed a bankruptcy petition against Elma, while on 15 January 2020 Elma filed an appeal with the Appeal Court of Florence against the above ruling. The Board has delayed making a decision on the case.
As regards the matter, Elma has also brought a case against a former senior manager of the company with the Court of Rome, claiming compensation for damages. Piaggio appeared in the proceedings, requesting, among other things, that the case be moved to the Court of Pisa. In a ruling of 31 May 2019, the Court of Rome rejected Elma S.r.l.'s claim and ordered it to pay the costs of the court-appointed expert and legal fees. Elma appealed before the Appeal Court of Rome, summoning Piaggio to the hearing. The Court rejected the request for annulment of the technical appraisal carried out at first instance, formulated by Elma, deeming this decision to be related to the examination of the appeal on its merits, and therefore adjourned the case to the hearing of 10 October 2023 for closing arguments.
• In summons dated 27 October 2014, Piaggio summoned Peugeot Motocycles Italia S.p.A., Motorkit s.a.s. di Turcato Bruno and C., GI.PI. Motor di Bastianello Attilio and GMR Motor s.r.l. before the Court of Milan, to obtain the recall of Peugeot "Metropolis" motorcycles from the market, and to establish the infringement of some European patents and designs owned by Piaggio, as well as a ruling for the compensation for damages for unfair competition, and the publication of the ruling in some newspapers. On 27 May 2020, the Court of Milan rejected the claims of infringement of Piaggio's patents no. EP1363794B1, EP1571016B1, IT1357114 and Community design no. 487723-0001, as well as the claim of unfair competition, ordering Piaggio to pay 3/4 of the costs of the court-appointed expert's report (equal to €23 thousand) and to pay the defendant €21 thousand for the costs of the proceedings.
In the same judgment, the judge also ordered the separation of the infringement of patent no. EP1561612B1 and the joinder of this case with the erga omnes invalidity action, the subject of Case 2, brought by Peugeot Motocycles S.a.S.
Piaggio lodged an appeal with the Milan Court of Appeal against the abovementioned ruling; at the first hearing on 17 February 2021, the Court rejected the objection raised by Peugeot on the grounds that the appeal was inadmissible, and set the hearing on 10 November 2021 for the closing arguments, reserving the right to decide on the preliminary motion requests made by Piaggio in the appeal.
• Peugeot Motocycles S.a.S. summoned Piaggio to appear before the Court of Milan, claiming that the patent on the basis of which Piaggio filed a claim for counterfeiting would be voidable, due to a previously existing Japanese patent ("Case 2"). Piaggio appeared in court, claiming that the action taken by Peugeot could not proceed further and that the patent application referred to by Peugeot was irrelevant. After the expert's appraisal was filed (which confirmed the validity of Piaggio's patent) and discussed at the hearing on 29 January 2019, the Judge requested further technical clarifications from the expert. The Judge deemed the case ready for decision by
~ 31 ~
ordering the discussion of arguments for the hearing on 24 June 2021. The case is pending a decision.
- Piaggio also started legal action against Peugeot Motocycles S.a.S. before the Tribunal de Grande Instance in Paris. As a result of the Piaggio action ("Saisie Contrefaçon"), several documents were collected and tests carried out to prove the infringement of the Piaggio MP3 motorcycle by the Peugeot "Metropolis" motorcycle. The hearing took place on 8 October 2015 for the appointment of the expert, who will examine the findings of the Saisie Contrefaçon. In February 2018, a preliminary expert appraisal was filed to establish the documents to be used for the ruling on the counterfeiting alleged by Piaggio. The hearing was held on 29 January 2019 and proceedings were adjourned until 17 October 2019. Subsequently, additional time was granted for the filing of briefs and a decision on the case was delayed at the hearing of 11 March 2021.
- Piaggio received a VAT assessment order from the Indian tax authorities in relation to the 2010-2011 tax period, concerning the non-application of VAT on intergroup transactions with Piaggio Vehicles PVT Ltd regarding royalties. A similar order was also notified for the 2011-2012 and 2012-2013 tax periods. The amount of the dispute including interest is approximately €0.6 million for each of the disputed tax periods, of which a small part already paid to the Indian tax authorities, in compliance with local law. The company decided to appeal against the order concerning the 2010-2011 tax period before the High Court, filing its appeal on 17 June 2019; the Departmental Appellate Authority – Joint Commissioner of Sales Tax orders were appealed relating to subsequent tax periods, with appeals filed in July 2020 for the dispute concerning the 2011-2012 tax period and on 21 June 2021 in relation to the dispute concerning the 2012-2013 tax period.
- In 2021, Piaggio Vehicles PVT Ltd decided to sign up for the Vivvad Se Vishwas Scheme, a facilitated dispute settlement procedure for certain disputes, thanks to which it was able to settle pending disputes by paying, where due, only the disputed tax (or 50% of it where appealed by the Indian tax authorities), thereby saving on penalties and interest.
- With reference to PT Piaggio Indonesia, the company has certain disputes outstanding relating to the 2015 and 2017 tax periods. In particular, in relation to the 2015 tax period, the company appealed against the notices concerning transfer pricing, Withholding Taxes and Value Added Tax respectively. With respect to the transfer pricing dispute, the Tax Court ruled on 27 January 2020 that the company was not in favour of the transfer pricing dispute with respect to one of the findings of the local tax authorities concerning financial guarantees. On 8 June 2020, the company filed an appeal against this ruling before the Supreme Court. in relation to the dispute concerning Withholding Taxes, on 10 October 2019, the company appealed to the Tax Court, which on 5 March 2021, ruled against one of the findings made by the local tax authorities concerning financial guarantees. On 9 June 2021, the company filed an appeal against this ruling before the Supreme Court. With regard to the dispute on Value Added Tax, the company filed an appeal on 4 May 2021 with the Tax Court and is waiting for the date of the first hearing to be set. It should be noted that the dispute also concerns the month of December 2014.
With respect to the 2017 tax period, the company filed an appeal with the Tax Court on 8 September 2020 against the transfer pricing and Withholding Tax notice, and the relevant hearings are ongoing.
The total amount currently in question amounts to €0.3 million and where due (i.e. where not offset by the company's past losses) has already been paid in full to the Indonesian tax authorities in accordance with the regulations in force there.
• In December 2012 , the French subsidiary Piaggio France received a favourable ruling from the Commission Nationale des Impots Directes et des Taxes sur le Chiffre d'Affaires, the decision-making body consulted in the pre-litigation phase on disputes with the French tax authorities following a general audit for 2006 and 2007. The French tax authorities however upheld its claims against the company, requesting payment of the amounts claimed and issuing related notices.
The company appealed against the notices and appeals were filed against the findings on withholding tax and corporate income tax, before the Tribunal Administratif. An appeal was lodged against decisions taken against the company before the Cour Administrative d'Appel de Versailles. Following the hearing in January 2018, appeal judges issued a sentence in favour of the company. The amount concerned, equal to approximately €3.7 million, including interest, was paid in full to the French tax authorities and subsequently reimbursed following the aforesaid ruling. This last ruling was appealed against by the French financial administration before the Conseil d'Etat that, in a ruling of 4 October 2019, put the case before the Cour Administrative d'Appel de Versailles to review the decision at a second level, identifying a lack of grounds. Following the hearing held on 22 June 2020, this court ruled against the French company, which had to repay the disputed amounts to the local tax authorities; however, the company was able to secure the ability to pay a significant portion (approximately €3.1 million) of these amounts in instalments in 2021 and 2022.
On 7 December 2020, Piaggio France decided to appeal against the ruling before the Conseil d'Etat which deemed the appeal inadmissible, rejecting it after a ruling on 25 June 2021.
In response to this unfavourable decision, the Company utilised a provision of €3.6 million set aside for this dispute.
As regards the marine sector (Intermarine Group):
• With reference to the arbitration proceedings relating to the "Ex Taiwan" contract, at the request of the Court of Arbitration, the parties submitted proposals to enable the proceedings to take place; Intermarine requested that a preliminary decision be made on the admissibility of the subrogation action, with subsequent consideration of the merits should the subrogation be declared admissible; the nine Taiwanese banks (the 'Banks') which finance Ching Fu Shipbuilding Co. Ltd. (Intermarine's client) opposed this application, the request to separate the deposits of costs relating to their respective applications, and requested that Ching Fu Shipbuilding Co. Ltd. itself be declared in default.
After the discussion and signing of the Terms of Reference, the Court of Arbitration proposed to the parties a list of seven issues to be addressed as a matter of priority (six of which related to the admissibility and implications of the subrogation action and one related to the consequences of the failure to complete the pre-arbitration conciliation attempt), on which the parties filed briefs.
These issues were also further discussed at the arbitration hearing of 25 May 2021, as a result of which, the Court of Arbitration issued the first procedural order and the
~ 33 ~
schedule of the arbitration proceedings accepting Intermarine's requests, confirming that, before entering into the merits, the admissibility of the subrogation action must be discussed, establishing that the Banks must deal first with the six preliminary issues relating to the admissibility of the subrogation action, while Intermarine must deal first with the sole issue relating to the consequences of the Banks' failure to attempt prearbitration settlement.
The deadline for filing the first brief expired on 29 July 2021; the deadline for filing subsequent briefs will expire on 1 October 2021, 2 December 2021 and 31 January 2022; the arbitration hearing will take place on 25 to 29 April 2022.
In the view of the company's lawyers, it is premature to formulate a prediction as to the outcome of the proceedings or whether they will be concluded after the preliminary decision on the admissibility of the subrogation action; Intermarine has numerous arguments for its defence and it is reasonable to believe, based on the opinions of the company's lawyers, that the Banks' claims will be rejected. The current risk of losing the case against the Banks must be considered remote, since Ching Fu Shipbuilding Co. Ltd. has filed a defence by arbitration, thus removing the prerequisite for subrogation action constituted by inaction on the part of the subrogated debtor.
• As regards to the appeal lodged by Monte dei Paschi di Siena (MPS) against the first instance ruling of November 2011 in favour of the former Conam company – for: compounding interest; advance capitalisation of interest expense; advance calculation of interest with debit; annual interest expense rates higher than contractual rates; maximum overdraft fees; and application of interest expense to levels different from those agreed – in September 2020 a judgment was published which overturned the first instance judgment in favour of Intermarine (which was awarded approximately €200 thousand in compensation). The Appeal was partially upheld and Intermarine, as the incorporating company of Conam, was ordered to pay back the total amount of approximately €78 thousand plus interest, while MPS was ordered to pay the legal costs of the company and the costs of the second-level expert appraisal, plus charges required by law.
In March 2021, MPS notified the company that it was appealing to the Court of Cassation, seeking restitution of the additional amount not awarded in the Appeal; Intermarine filed a counter-appeal soon after. A date has been set for the Court of Cassation hearing.
• With reference to the legal dispute with the Municipality of Messina, for which in January 2013 a favourable ruling was issued rejecting all claims of the Municipality and recognising the ownership of the areas owned by the State and the right of the Port Authority to operate them, Intermarine S.p.A. was served notice of the appeal lodged by the Autonomous Port Authority of Messina, which requested the suspension of the effects of the sentence. Following multiple postponements, the hearing was held on 25 March 2021 in document form with a decision postponed and a maximum legal time limit set for filing closing statements and rebuttals.
Events occurring after 30 June 2021 and operating outlook
Despite forecasts remaining complex due to uncertainties over how the pandemic will evolve in the next few months of 2021, the Immsi Group will continue to work to meet its commitments and objectives, maintaining all the necessary measures to respond flexibly and immediately to unexpected and difficult situations that may still arise, thanks to a careful and efficient management of its economic and financial structure.
With reference to the property sector and hospitality/tourist industry, despite the limitations related to the Covid-19 pandemic, but taking into account that the emergency could ease in the coming months depending on government containment measures and the vaccination campaigns rolled out in countries affected by the spread of the virus, a gradual return to normality is expected and therefore subsidiary Is Molas S.p.A is proceeding with commercial activities aimed at identifying possible buyers, including at an international level.
On 29 July 2021, the Parent Company Immsi S.p.A. agreed a loan with Mediocredito Centrale for €20 million with amortised quarterly instalments which mature in July 2026.
It should also be noted that on 22 July 2021 Pietra S.r.l. (77.78% owned by Immsi and 22.22% owned by Intesa Sanpaolo S.p.A.), signed a preliminary contract with Polifin S.p.A. (the holding company of the Bosatelli family) for the sale of the entire equity investment held in Pietra Ligure S.r.l., for a total consideration of €30 million. The execution of the contract is subject, as is practice, to certain condition precedents (specifically, two of an administrative nature involving the Liguria Region and the Municipality of Pietra Ligure). The transaction is expected to be executed by the first quarter of 2022.
With regard to the business outlook for the industrial sector, it should be noted that Piaggio has started marketing its new light commercial vehicle and will launch 11 new two-wheeler models; it is also constructing the new e-mobility department in Pontedera, opening a new plant in Indonesia and completely renovating the Moto Guzzi production site and museum areas.
With reference to Intermarine, despite the difficult general outlook, production progress will be made in the next few months on job orders acquired, and commercial activities in all the company's business sectors will continue, seeking favourable business opportunities; management will continue to take all actions to keep costs down, and will carry out all activities necessary to obtain further job orders enabling it to increase its orders portfolio and consequently optimise production capacity over the next few years. Although the Covid-19 health emergency is continuing to slow down the development of Defence Programmes of several countries, contacts with the relevant navies have also resumed for the evaluation of possible supplies of minesweepers under these programmes.
In relation to expected future commercial developments in the Defence sector, the company has planned a major Investment Plan to upgrade its production capacity.

- A - GENERAL ASPECTS
Immsi S.p.A. (the "Company" or the "Parent Company") is a limited company established under Italian law and has registered offices in Mantua - P.zza Vilfredo Pareto, 3 Centro Direzionale Boma. The main activities of the Company and its subsidiaries (the "Immsi Group" or the "Group"), and information on significant events after 30 June 2021 and operating outlook are described in the Half-Yearly Financial Report. At 30 June 2021, Immsi S.p.A. was directly and indirectly controlled, pursuant to article 93 of the TUF, by Omniaholding S.p.A., a company wholly owned by the Colaninno family, through the subsidiary Omniainvest S.p.A.
The condensed interim financial statements of the Immsi Group include the financial statements of the Parent Company Immsi S.p.A. and the Italian and international companies directly and indirectly controlled by it, approved where required by the relevant corporate functions of the respective companies, suitably reclassified and adjusted where necessary to adapt them to the Group's accounting principles.
The financial statements are expressed in Euro since that is the currency in which most of the Group's transactions take place.
The amounts in the above schedules and in the Notes on the consolidated financial statements are stated in thousands of Euros (if not otherwise indicated).
It should be noted that the Group's business presents significant seasonal variations in sales over the course of the year, especially in the industrial sector and, to a limited extent, in the tourist-hotel sector.
These condensed interim financial statements are subject to limited review by the independent auditors Deloitte & Touche S.p.A. pursuant to the mandate granted by the Shareholders' Meeting on 14 May 2020 for the period 2021-2029.
COMPLIANCE WITH INTERNATIONAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
These Condensed Interim Financial Statements have been drafted in compliance with the International Accounting Standards (IAS/IFRS) in force at that date, issued by the International Accounting Standards Board and endorsed by the European Commission, in particular IAS 34 "Interim Financial Reporting", as well as in compliance with the provisions established in Article 9 of Legislative Decree no. 38/2005 (CONSOB Resolution no. 15519 dated 27 July 2006 containing the "Provisions for the presentation of financial statements", CONSOB Resolution no. 15520 dated 27 July 2006 containing the "Changes and additions to the Regulation on Issuers adopted by Resolution no. 11971/99", CONSOB communication no. 6064293 of 28 July 2006 containing the "Corporate reporting required in accordance with Article 114, paragraph 5 of Legislative Decree 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 in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2020, prepared in accordance with IFRS, as they do not include all of the information required by IFRS in the preparation of the annual financial statements.
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis with reference to a future period of 12 months from 30 June 2021. The Directors considered that despite the extraordinary uncertainty caused by the global health emergency of Covid-19 and all its consequences, currently available funds, those obtained in the early months of the second half of 2021 and those that will be generated from operating and financing activities, will enable the Group to meet its own needs
~ 43 ~
arising from investments, management of working capital and repayment of debts, also bearing in mind the credit lines maturing in the next 12 months and the Group's financial commitments, and will ensure an adequate level of operational and strategic flexibility. It should also be noted that the current share price of the Piaggio stock, which is the parameter for sizing the credit lines granted to date to Immsi S.p.A., means it is possible to grant guarantees on the outstanding financial debt of the Parent Company, Intermarine S.p.A. and ISM Investimenti S.p.A., and in addition, as of 30 June 2021, there remain approximately 21.9 million Piaggio shares free of encumbrances and therefore potentially usable.
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 2020.
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.
In this regard, it should be noted that at 30 June 2021 management updated the impairment test on the net invested capital (including goodwill) of the Intermarine CGU.
Therefore no impairment was recorded in consolidated data at 30 June 2021 and 2020, as explained in the section on intangible assets.
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.
No significant, non-recurring operations, as defined by Consob Communication DEM/6064293 of 28 July 2006 took place during the first half of 2020 and in 2021.
Moreover, there were no significant atypical transactions during the first half of 2021 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
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
~ 44 ~
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 profit (loss) for the period including minority 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. In addition, assets held for sale and liabilities associated with assets held for sale are recognised in a separate item.
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 the total statement of comprehensive income while separately reporting the amounts attributable to owners of the Parent company as well as the quota pertaining to noncontrolling interests, the amounts of operations with shareholders acting in this capacity and potential effects of retrospective application or of the retroactive calculation pursuant to IAS 8. For each item, a reconciliation between the balance at the start and end of the period is presented.

Immsi Group
Condensed Half-Yearly Financial Report and Notes
- B - SCOPE OF CONSOLIDATION
At 30 June 2021, the Immsi Group structure was that attached at the end of these Notes. The scope of consolidation at 30 June 2021 had not significantly changed compared to the Consolidated Financial Statements at 31 December 2020 and 30 June 2020:
- the consolidated portion of shareholders' equity of the Piaggio group, which amounted to 50.22% at 30 June 2021, was equal to 50.21% at 31 December 2020 and 30 June 2020. The changes are due to the purchase of treasury shares by the subsidiary;
- with reference to the portion held by the Parent Company Immsi S.p.A. in ISM Investimenti S.p.A., considering the various equity rights of the two partners and analysis of impairment testing, the portion of consolidated shareholders' equity of ISM Investimenti S.p.A. was estimated to be 47.64% at 31 December 2020, up on the 41.81% at 30 June 2020.
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, as mentioned, in compliance with IAS 34 – Interim Financial Reporting, the accounting standards used to prepare the Consolidated Financial Statements at 31 December 2020, 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
New accounting standards, amendments and interpretations adopted from 1 January 2021
- In May 2020, the IASB published an amendment titled "Covid-19 Related Rent Concessions (Amendment to IFRS 16)". The document gives lessees with the option to account for Covid-19-related rent reductions without having to analyse the contract to find out whether the definition of lease modification under IFRS 16 is met. Lessees applying this option will be able to account for the effects of rent reductions directly in the income statement on the effective date of the reduction. This amendment applies to financial statements beginning on or after 1 June 2020.
- In August 2019, in light of the reform on interbank interest rates such as IBOR, the IASB published "Interest Rate Benchmark Reform—Phase 2" which contains amendments to the following standards: IFRS 9 Financial Instruments; IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement; IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures; IFRS 4 Insurance Contracts; and IFRS 16 Leases. All amendments became effective on 1 January 2021.
- In August 2021, the IASB published amendments to IFRS 16 that move the final date from 30 June 2021 to 30 June 2022, for a practical expedient for measuring leases where renegotiated lease payments have been made as a result of Covid-19. The lessee may opt to recognise the concession in the accounts as a variable lease payment in the period when a lower payment is recognised. These amendments apply from 1 April 2021.
The application of the above did not have a significant impact on values or on the financial statements.
Accounting standards, amendments and IFRS and IFRIC interpretations approved by the European Union that are not yet compulsory applicable and have not been adopted in advance
• In May 2020, the IASB published narrow-scope amendments to IFRS 3, IAS 16, IAS 37 and annual revisions to IFRS 1, IFRS 9, IAS 41 and IFRS 16. The amendments will be applicable with effect from 1 January 2022.
The Group does not expect significant impacts from the application of these amendments.
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, the IASB issued the new standard IFRS 17 "Insurance Contracts". The new standard will replace IFRS 4 and will be effective from 1 January 2023.
- In January 2020, the IASB published some amendments to IAS 1 that clarify the definition of "current" or "non-current" liabilities based on rights existing at the reporting date. These amendments will apply from 1 January 2023.
- In February 2021, the IASB published narrow-scope amendments to IAS 1, Practice Statement 2 and IAS 8. The amendments aim to improve disclosure of accounting standards and to help users of the financial statements distinguish between changes in accounting estimates and changes in accounting standards. These amendments will apply from 1 January 2023.
- In May 2021, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 12 Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a Single Transaction. The amendments require companies to recognise deferred taxes when an asset or liability is initially recognised in a transaction that results in equal amounts of temporary deductible and taxable differences.
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.
- E - SEGMENT REPORTING
The information for operating segments presented below reflects the internal reporting system used by management for making strategic decisions, as provided for by IFRS 8, in line with the management and control model used. Information is provided, where available, on the three identified segments: property and holding, industrial and marine.

Note: 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 of €101,244 thousand 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 €21.5 million 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 2021, development costs of approximately
€11.2 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, the item at 30 June 2021 includes investments in development projects, under intangible assets, net of amortisation, for €2.3 million.
Concessions, patents, industrial and similar rights
The net balance of this item, equal to €130,976 thousand at 30 June 2021 including assets under construction for €27,464 thousand, mainly refers to the Piaggio group (€130,647 thousand). Increases for the period mainly refer to new calculation, design and production techniques and methodologies developed by the Piaggio group, referring to main new products in the 2021-2022 range. Costs for industrial patent and intellectual property rights are amortised over a period of three to five years, in consideration of their remaining useful life.
Trademarks and licences
Trademarks and licenses, amounting to €29,511 thousand, are broken down as follows:
| In thousands of Euros | As of 30 June 2021 | As of 30 June 2020 | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Guzzi trademark | 9,750 | 10,562 | (812) |

In light of the strategic initiatives of Piaggio & C. S.p.A. and of the results achieved thanks to the significant investment plan envisaged, which will contribute to a development strategy already started during the last three years, the Piaggio group, supported by the fairness opinion of a leading consulting firm, revised the residual useful lives of the Aprilia and Moto Guzzi brands, changing them from definite to indefinite.

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. As a result, the goodwill generated on acquisitions prior to the date of transition to IFRSs was maintained at the previous value, determined according to Italian accounting standards, subject to assessment and recognition of any impairment losses. At 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.
The recoverability of goodwill is verified at least once a year (at 31 December), even in the absence of possible impairment indicators.
When drafting the Immsi Group Condensed Financial Statements at 30 June 2021, with reference to the Piaggio group cash-generating units, company management compared the actual figures at that date and the forecasts contained in the budget data for the 2021 financial year, supplemented by forecast data for the 2022-2024 period approved by the Board of Directors of Piaggio & C. S.p.A. on 25 February 2021. This analysis did not reveal any indicators that would require an update to the impairment test carried out for the purposes of the financial statements at 31 December 2020, the results of which are therefore considered still valid at 30 June 2021.
As regards the cash-generating unit Intermarine the company coincides with the definition of the "marine sector" identified by the Immsi Group in its own segment reporting, in compliance with IFRS 8 – Operating segments: the carrying amount of goodwill allocated to this cash-generating unit was approximately €34.4 million and its recoverability was also tested at 30 June 2021, in the light of the postponement of some contracts included in the 2021-2025 multi-year forecasts approved by the Company's Board of Directors on 1 March 2021.
The main assumptions and hypotheses used in the determination of this recoverable amount were based on a sensitivity analysis approved by Intermarine's Board of Directors on 29 July 2021 that updates the 2021 projections and the 2022-2025 forecast, and extends the valuation to the year 2026.
Given that the other parameters and the approach used to construct the impairment test did not change compared to the end of 2020 – in which regard reference should be made to the Immsi Group's financial statements at 31 December 2020 –, it should be noted that the analyses conducted at 30 June 2021 (including sensitivity scenarios on the WACC and the g-rate) did not reveal any impairment losses in relation to net invested capital (including associated goodwill) of the Intermarine CGU: therefore, no impairment of goodwill is reflected in the data of the Consolidated Financial statements of the Immsi Group at 30 June 2021.
The impairment tests are based on forecast data – uncertain and variable by nature – that reflect changes in the company's orders portfolio, as well as 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 underway with several foreign navies. In this regard,
,,555333000
during previous years, the final results of Intermarine were down on the financial forecasts used for impairment tests; 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, thereby causing possible impairment losses in 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, as mentioned, 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.

Deferred tax assets at 30 June 2021 amounted to €131,191 thousand, a decrease of €7,297 thousand compared to 31 December 2020. The portion expected to be reversed within 12 months amounts to €11,824 thousand, while the portion expected to be reversed beyond 12 months amounts to €119,367 thousand. These amounts are recorded net of deferred tax liabilities of a similar nature and maturity.
Deferred tax assets have been recorded by the Piaggio group for €55,874 thousand, €43,366 thousand by the subsidiary Intermarine S.p.A., and €19,756 thousand by the subsidiary Is Molas S.p.A.. The remaining amount of €12,195 thousand refers to other companies in 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 taxable income expected in the medium to long term for each individual company. In this regard, the plans resulting from the June 2021 reprocessing and revision of the plans of subsidiaries approved by respective Boards of Directors at the start of the year, in view of the health emergency, were used as the reference; 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 timeframe until December 2026. The parent company Immsi S.p.A. has tax consolidation contracts with the subsidiaries Piaggio & C. S.p.A., Piaggio Concept Store Mantova S.r.l., Aprilia Racing S.r.l., Apuliae S.r.l., Intermarine S.p.A., RCN Finanziaria S.p.A., ISM Investimenti S.p.A., Pietra S.r.l. and Pietra Ligure S.r.l.. Based on a prudential approach, it was decided to not wholly recognise the tax benefits arising from losses that can be carried over and from temporary differences. For details of unrecognised deferred tax assets, please refer to the notes to the financial statements at 31 December 2020.
However, the future dynamics of various factors – including the evolution of the global health, economic and financial context – requires that the Group's management must constantly monitor circumstances and events that could result in non-recoverability of deferred tax assets recognised by the Group companies, both adhering and not adhering to the national tax consolidation.

Trade receivables and other receivables included under non-current assets total €26,141 thousand (net of the corresponding provisions for write-down of €1,203 thousand), against €29,536 thousand at 31 December 2020.
Trade receivables and other receivables (including the value of work in progress) included under current assets are as follows:

Current third party trade receivables amounted to €201,804 thousand at 30 June 2021, an increase of around €79,948 thousand compared to the value recorded at 31 December 2020: 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 write-downs of €30,900 thousand, up by €1,133 thousand compared to 31 December 2020.
The balance of receivables from associated companies refers entirely to receivables from Consorzio CTMI, while receivables from joint ventures (equal to €1,271 thousand at 30 June 2021) refer to receivables from Zongshen Piaggio Foshan Motorcycle Co. Ltd., as detailed in the statement of intercompany and related party transactions 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 2021, outstanding trade receivables assigned without recourse amounted to a total of €196,065 thousand. Of these receivables, Piaggio received payment prior to natural expiry for €174,647 thousand. At 30 June 2021, advances received – both from factoring firms and from banks – on "with recourse" disposals of trade receivables totalled €11,717 thousand and are offset in current liabilities.
In June 2021, the subsidiary Intermarine sold receivables without recourse to Banca Ifis, with inflows of €24,053 thousand.
Other receivables mainly include advances to suppliers of €5,047 thousand, largely recorded by the subsidiary Intermarine S.p.A., accrued income and prepaid expenses for a total of €16,784 thousand, and the fair value of exchange rate risk hedging on forecast transactions accounted for by Piaggio using the cash flow hedge principle for €5,126 thousand.
Other receivables also include €16,189 thousand (€10,230 thousand at 31 December 2020) relating to a receivable for the grant by the Indian Government on investments made in previous years. This receivable is recognised in the income statement in proportion to the depreciation of the assets on which the grant was made. The recognition of these amounts is supported by appropriate documentation received from the Government of India, certifying that the entitlement has been recognised and therefore that collection is reasonably certain.
This item includes approximately €0.8 million relating to receivables with a maturity of more than 5 years recognised by the subsidiary Intermarine S.p.A..
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 €27,374 thousand, basically unchanged compared to 31 December 2020, 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 sale in the half-year period amounted to €33.5 million, basically unchanged compared to the end of 2020. Due to the adoption of IFRS 16, the right of use of the area was recognised under assets for a value equal to the present value of the state concession payments for the concession held by Pietra Ligure S.r.l., while the financial liability related to the present value of future payments was 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. Reference should be made to the section "Events after 30 June 2021" in this Half-yearly Financial Report for an update on the progress with the Pietra Ligure property complex project.

The increase compared to the figure at 31 December 2020 (+€72,734 thousand) is mainly due to the Piaggio group, and is in line with the expected trend of production volumes and future sales. 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 2021, the Piaggio group recognised, net of write-downs, inventories for €262,342 thousand referred to components, accessories, two-wheeler, three-wheeler and four-wheeler vehicles.
Intermarine S.p.A. contributed €48,731 thousand, mainly concerning raw materials and products in progress for prototypes, own construction and repairs. Finally, Is Molas S.p.A. recorded €67,485 thousand of inventories at the half-year end, including financial expenses and capitalised employee costs, 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.

Financial liabilities totalled €1,035,055 thousand at 30 June 2021, down by €24,760 thousand compared to the value recorded at 31 December 2020. The portion recorded under non-current liabilities amounts to €539,889 thousand, against 571,517 at 31 December 2020, while the portion included among current liabilities totals €495,166 thousand, compared to €488,298 thousand at the end of 2020.
Financial liabilities also include the fair value measurement of financial derivatives to hedge exchange risk and interest rate risk and the adjustment of related hedged items – underwritten by the Piaggio group – for a total of €2,443 thousand (entirely in the current portion), an increase of €291 thousand compared to 31 December 2020. As already mentioned, net financial debt does not include financial assets and liabilities arising from the fair value measurement of designated
hedging and non-hedging derivatives, the fair value adjustment of associated hedged items, accruals, interest expense accrued on loans received (equal to €7,348 at the end of June 2021) and financial liabilities related to assets held for disposal (although the latter are commented on below the table on net financial debt in this financial report).
All financial liabilities are measured in accordance with reference accounting standards and based on the amortised cost method (except for liabilities with hedging derivatives measured at Fair Value Through Profit & Loss, for which the same measurement criteria used for the derivative are applied).
According to this criterion the nominal amount of the liability is deceased by the amount of the associated 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 payable and reimbursements of principle at the net carrying amount of the financial liability.

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 entirely attributable to the Piaggio group and includes i) provisions for personnel made by international companies of the Piaggio 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 | 0.08% - 0.92%; |

| --- | -------------------------------- | ---------------- |
- Annual inflation rate 0.80%

| 2 | 2,320 |

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 affiliates operating in Germany and Indonesia have provisions for employees identified as defined benefit plans. Their value outstanding at 30 June 2021 is €126 thousand and €246 thousand, respectively.

At the end of the first half, the cost for materials totalled €560,404 thousand, compared with €375,996 thousand at 30 June 2020.
The percentage accounting for net revenues at 30 June 2021 is slightly higher than the same period of the previous year, accounting for 60.9% (59.7% at 30 June 2020).
In the Piaggio group, the increase at 30 June 2021 in this item of €557,447 thousand (+€191,471 thousand compared to the same period of the previous year) was due to the growth in production volumes.
The item includes €12,724 thousand (€8,569 thousand in the first half of 2020) for purchases of scooters from the Chinese subsidiary Zongshen Piaggio Foshan, which are sold on European and Asian markets.

- M - FINANCIAL POSITION
The Immsi Group net financial debt at 30 June 2021 is shown below, compared with corresponding data at 31 December 2020 and at 30 June 2020. Further details of the main components are provided in the tables in the Half-Yearly Financial Report and related information below them:
| (in thousands of Euros) | 30.06.2021 | 31.12.2020 | 30.06.2020 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Total liquidity | -232,935 | -249,886 | -179,910 |
| Total current financial debt | 485,374 | 481,273 | 455,470 |
| Net current financial debt | 252,439 | 231,387 | 275,560 |
| Non-current financial debt | 539,889 | 571,517 | 623,212 |
| Net Financial debt | 792,328 | 802,904 | 898,772 |
It should be noted that the net financial debt thus formulated is the amount monitored by the Group's management. Contrary to the ESMA Guidelines 2021 / 32-382-1138, as detailed in the Report on Operations, to which reference should be made, the net financial debt calculated by the Immsi Group does not take into account: other financial assets and liabilities arising from the fair value measurement of designated hedging and non-hedging derivatives, and the fair value adjustment of related hedged items and associated deferrals, together with the fair value of shares measured at FVTOCI; interest accrued on loans to third-party shareholders, and financial liabilities related to assets held for sale, totalling a negative €10.6 million.
- N - DIVIDENDS PAID
As proposed by the Board of Directors on 19 March 2021 and approved by Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting on 30 April 2021, the Parent Company did not distribute dividends during the first half of 2021, nor in the first half of 2020.
- O - EARNINGS PER SHARE
Earnings per share
Earnings per share are calculated by dividing the consolidated net profit for the period attributable to Parent Company ordinary 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 2021 |
First half of 2020 |
|
|---|---|---|
| Net profit attributable to ordinary shareholders (in thousands of Euro) | 14,646 | 1,510 |
| Average weighted number of shares in circulation during the year | 340,530,000 | 340,530,000 |
| Basic earnings per share (in Euro) | 0.043 | 0.004 |
Diluted earning per share
Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net consolidated profit 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 2021, therefore the diluted income per share coincides with the above basic earning per share.
- P - INFORMATION ON FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Below we summarise the information on financial instruments, the risks connected with them, as well as the "sensitivity analysis" in accordance with the requirements of IFRS 7.
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 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 operations 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.
~ 84 ~
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 2021, all covenants had been fully met. The Group does not expect to fail to meet its financial parameters at 31 December 2021, based on the forecasts available to date.
Given that the analyses were carried out on the basis of estimates and taking into account the current climate of uncertainty on core and financial markets, the various factors used in preparing estimates could be revised in the future.
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 2021 the Immsi Group had irrevocable credit lines up to expiry amounting to €1,182 million (€1,297 million at 31 December 2020), 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 Piaggio 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.
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, the Piaggio group companies' cash flows and credit-line needs are monitored and/or managed centrally under the control of the Piaggio 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 Piaggio 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 2021 the Immsi Group had unused credit lines available for €429 million (€481.3 million at 31 December 2020), of which €223.3 million due within 12 months and €205.7 million due after 12 months.
In particular, as of 30 June 2021, the Piaggio group had unused credit lines irrevocable until maturity of €225.7 million and €187 million of revocable credit lines.
The Directors believe that the funds currently available, those obtained in the early months of the second half of 2021 and those that will be generated by operating and financing activities, will enable the Group to satisfy requirements deriving from its investment activities, management of working capital and repayment of debts, also taking into account the credit lines maturing in the next 12 months and the Group's financial commitments, and will ensure an adequate level of operating and strategic flexibility. For details of the Immsi Group's used and available credit lines and their expiry dates, please refer to the Financial Liabilities section of these Notes.
It should also be noted that the current share price of the Piaggio stock, which is the parameter for sizing the credit lines granted to date to Immsi S.p.A., means it is possible to grant guarantees on the outstanding financial debt of the Parent Company, Intermarine S.p.A. and ISM Investimenti S.p.A., and in addition, as of 30 June 2021, there remain approximately 21.9 million Piaggio shares free of encumbrances and therefore potentially usable.

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 other than the 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 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:
- the transaction exchange risk: the policy wholly covers this risk which arises from differences between the recognition exchange rate of receivables or payables in foreign currency in the financial statements and the recognition exchange rate of actual 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;
- the translation exchange 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;
- the 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 associated 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
As of 30 June 2021, the Group had undertaken the following futures operations (recognised based on the settlement date), in relation to payables and receivables already recognised to hedge the transaction exchange risk:

To hedge the economic exchange risk alone, 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. As of 30 June 2021, the total fair value of hedging instruments for exchange risk recognised on a hedge accounting basis was positive at €4,724 thousand. During the first half of 2021, gains were recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income for €3,792 thousand, while €169 thousand in gains from the Statement of Comprehensive Income were reclassified to profit/loss for the year.
The net balance of cash flows during the first half of 2021 is shown below in the main currencies:
| Cash flow for the 1st half of 2021 |
|
|---|---|
| In millions of Euros | |
| Canadian Dollar | 7.4 |
| Pound Sterling | 15.3 |
| Swedish Krone | (0.8) |
| Japanese Yen | (0.7) |
| US Dollar | 39.1 |
| Indian Rupee | (57.0) |
| Croatian Kuna | 1.7 |
| Chinese Yuan* | (17.2) |
| Vietnamese Dong | (68.8) |
| Singapore Dollar | (1.3) |
| Indonesian Rupiah | 20.2 |
| Total cash flow in foreign currency | (62.1) |
*cash flow partially in USD
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 2021, there were no forward sales contracts in place.
In view of the above, a hypothetical 3% appreciation/depreciation of the Euro would generate, respectively, potential profits of €1,809 thousand and losses of €1,921 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 2021, the following hedging derivatives were taken out:
- Cash flow hedging: An Interest Rate Swap to hedge the variable-rate loan for a nominal amount of €30,000 thousand from Banco BPM. The purpose of this instrument is to manage and mitigate exposure to interest rate risk; in accounting terms, the instrument is recognised on a cash flow hedge basis, with profits/losses arising from the fair value measurement allocated to a specific reserve in Shareholders' equity; at 30 June 2021 the fair value of the instrument was negative €172 thousand. The sensitivity analysis of the instrument, assuming a shift in the interest rate curve of 1% upwards and downwards, shows a potential impact on shareholders' equity, net of the related tax effect, of €329 thousand and -€412 thousand, respectively.
- Fair value hedging derivatives (fair value hedging and fair value options) Cross Currency Swap to hedge the private debenture loan issued by Piaggio & C. S.p.A. for a nominal amount of \$75,000 thousand, which was fully repaid on 30 July 2021. 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
~ 88 ~
on a fair value hedge basis, with effects arising from the measurement recognised in profit or loss. At 30 June 2021, the fair value of the instrument was €2,445 thousand. The net effect on P&L of valuing the instrument and the underlying private bond was -€15 thousand.
| FAIR VALUE | |
|---|---|
| In thousands of Euros | |
| Piaggio & C. S.p.A. | |
| Interest Rate Swap | (172) |
| Cross Currency Swap | 2,445 |
Moreover, the Parent Company Immsi S.p.A. activated an interest rate swap to change a part of flows for interest on loans with Banco BPM from a variable to a fixed rate. At 30 June 2021 the fair value of the instruments was negative and equal to €2 thousand. Profits of €3 thousand were recognised in the Statement of Other Comprehensive Income during the half year.
Credit risk
The Group considers that its exposure to credit risk is as follows:
| In thousands of Euros | 30 June 2021 |
31 December 2020 |
|---|---|---|
| Bank funds and securities Financial assets Tax receivables Trade and other receivables |
232,851 5,283 36,079 227,945 |
249,822 4,793 27,302 151,392 |
| Total | 502,158 | 433,309 |
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 shows these values, with reference to the Piaggio group:
| Carrying | Carrying | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| value | amount | Fair Value * | |
| In thousands of Euros | |||
| High yield debenture loan | 250,000 | 243,338 | 255,068 |

| EIB (R&D loan 2019-2021) | 70,000 | 69,919 | 68,097 |
| BEI (R&D loan 2019-2021) step-up | 30,000 | 30,000 | 28,684 |
| Loan from B. Pop. Emilia Romagna | 12,000 | 11,976 | 12,005 |
| Loan from Banco BPM | 30,000 | 29,903 | 30,061 |
| Revolving syndicated loan 2023 | 2,000 | 1,662 | 2,010 |
| Syndicated loan 2023 | 42,500 | 42,364 | 42,835 |

| Loan from Banca Popolare di Sondrio | 5,000 | 4,980 | 4,858 |
*) 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 2021, based on fair value hierarchical levels:
| In thousands of Euros | Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 |

Level 1 includes the carrying amount of the investment held by Immsi S.p.A. in Unicredit S.p.A., down by €685 thousand compared to 31 December 2020 following a decrease in the share price recorded at the end of June 2021.
Level 2 includes as assets the fair value of exchange rate risk hedges on forecast transactions, recognised in accordance with the cash flow hedge principle by Piaggio for €5,126 thousand and the fair value of the Cross Currency Swap on the Piaggio private debenture loan for €2,445 thousand, while liabilities mainly include the fair value measurement of the same debenture loan for €13,494 thousand.
Lastly, level 3 includes the value of investments held in other minor companies by the Piaggio group.
The following table highlights the changes that occurred during the first half of 2021:

The Directors are responsible for the preparation of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements in accordance with the International Accounting Standard applicable to the interim financial reporting ("IAS 34") as adopted by the European Union. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on condensed consolidated interim financial statements based on our review.
Scope of Review Scope
We conducted our review in accordance with the criteria recommended by the Italian Regulatory Commission for Companies and the Stock Exchange (CONSOB) for the review of the interim financial statements under Resolution n° 10867 of July 31, 1997. A review of condensed consolidated interim financial statements consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an 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.
ConclusionConclusion Conclusion Conclusion
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial statements of IMMSI Group as at June 30, 2021 are not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the International Accounting Standard applicable to the interim financial reporting (IAS 34) as adopted by the European Union.
