REPORT ON OPERATIONS

The consolidated financial statements of IRCE Group (hereinafter also the "Group") for the first nine months of 2021 (hereinafter also the "Group") closed with a profit of € 8.88 million.

Consolidated turnover was € 341.13 million, up 65.6% compared to € 205.95 million in the first nine months of 2020, thanks to the increase in sales volumes and the price of copper (LME average price in euros for the first nine months of 2021 +48.24% on the same period of 2020).

In the first nine months, both business areas, winding wires and energy cable, confirm the recovery of demand that has further strengthened in the last quarter, bringing sales volumes to pre-covid levels.

Since the beginning of the year, we have recorded a strong and continuous increase in the cost of raw materials, which to date shows no slowing down signals. Starting from the third quarter, the marked increase in the cost of electricity has been also added. To limit the negative impact on results, we started to pass the cost increases to the market.

The turnover without metal¹ increased by 44.6%, in detail the winding wire sector grew by 37.9%, and the cable sector recorded a growth of 66.5%.

Consolidated turnover without metal (€/million)		9 months 2021		9 months 2019	Change
	Value	%	Value	%	Value	%
Winding wires Cables	51.01 18.65	73.2% 26.8%	36.98 11.20	76.7% 23.3%	14.03 7.45	37.9% 66.5%
Total	69.66	100.0%	48.18	100.0%	21.48	44.6%

The following table shows the changes in results compared to the first nine months of last year, including adjusted EBITDA and EBIT.

Consolidated income statement data (€/million)	9 months 2021	9 months 2020	Change
Sales2	341.13	205.95	135.18
EBITDA3	21.73	6.16	15.57
EBIT	14.29	(0.24)	14.53
Result before taxes	13.15	1.41	11.74
Net result	8.88	0.65	8.23
EBITDA adjusted4	20.59	7.35	13.24
EBIT adjusted4	13.15	0.95	12.20

¹ Il fatturato senza metallo corrisponde al fatturato complessivo dedotta la componente metallo.

² The item "Sales" represents "Sales Revenues" as stated on the consolidated income statement.

³ EBITDA is a performance indicator used by Group Management to evaluate its operational performance and is not identified as an accounting measure under IFRS, it is calculated by adding to the EBIT, amortizations, provisions and depreciations.

⁴Adjusted EBITDA and EBIT are respectively calculated as the sum of EBITDA and EBIT and the income/charges from operations on copper and electricity derivatives transactions (€ -1.14 million in nine months 2021 and € +1.19 million in nine months 2020). These indicators are used by the Management of the Group in order to monitor and assess the operational performance of the Group and are not identified as accounting items within IFRS. Given that the composition of these measures is not regulated by the reference accounting standards, the criterion used by the Group could potentially not be consistent with that adopted by others and therefore not be comparable.

Consolidated statement of financial position data (€/million)	As of 30.09.2021	As of 31.12.2020	Change
Net invested capital	196.54	162.36	34.18
Shareholders' Equity	131.57	122.62	8.95
Net financial debt5	64.97	39.74	25.23

Net financial debt at 30 September 2021 was € 64.97 million, up from € 39.74 million at 31 December 2020, but down from € 72.75 million at 30 June 2021, consistently with changes in working capital.

The Group's investments, in first nine months of 2021, were € 3.11 million.

With reference to the upcoming months, we foresee demand to stabilize at the good levels achieved, and we expect positive results also in the last quarter, despite the increase in raw material and electricity costs.

Imola, 12th November 2021

⁵ Net financial debt is measured as the sum of short-term and long-term financial liabilities minus cash and financial assets, note no. 15. It should be noted that the methods for measuring net financial debt comply with the methods for measuring the Net Financial Position defined by Consob Resolution no. 6064293 of 28 July 2006 and CESR recommendation of 10 February 2005.

GENERAL INFORMATION

The Interim report on operations of IRCE S.p.A and its subsidiaries (hereafter referred to as "IRCE Group" or "Group") as of 30 September 2021 was approved by the Board of Directors of IRCE SpA (hereafter also referred to as the "Company" or the "Parent Company") on 12 November 2021.

IRCE Group owns 9 manufacturing plants and is one of the major players in the European winding wire industry, as well as in the Italian electrical cable sector.

Italian plants are located in the towns of Imola (Bologna), Guglionesi (Campobasso), Umbertide (Perugia) and Miradolo Terme (Pavia), while foreign operations are carried out by Smit Draad Nijmegen BV in Nijmegen (NL), FD Sims Ltd in Blackburn (UK), IRCE Ltda in Joinville (SC – Brazil), Stable Magnet Wire P.Ltd in Kochi (Kerala – India) and Isodra GmbH in Kierspe (D).

The distribution network consists of agents and the following commercial subsidiaries: Isomet AG in Switzerland, DMG GmbH in Germany, Isolveco Srl in liquidation and Isolveco 2 Srl in Italy, Irce S.L. in Spain, and IRCE SP.ZO.O in Poland.

Finally, have been recently established Irce Electromagnetic Wire (Jiangsu) Co. Ltd, with the headquarter in Haian (China) and Irce S.r.o. with the headquarter in Ostrawa (Rep. Ceca), and they are not c urrently operating.

GENERAL DRAFTING CRITERIA

The Interim report on operations has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 "Interim Financial Reporting", pursuant to the provisions for the condensed interim financial statements, and based on Article 154 ter of the Consolidated Financial Act. The Half-Yearly Financial Report does not therefore include all the information required for preparing the annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2020.

The Interim report on operations is drafted in euro and all values reported in the notes are stated in thousands of euro, unless specified otherwise.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the provisions of IAS 1; in particular:

• the statement of financial position was drafted by presenting current and non-current assets,
• and current and non-current liabilities, as separate classifications;
• the income statement was drafted by classifying the items by nature;
• the statement of cash flows was drafted, in accordance with IAS 7, by classifying cash flows during
• the period into operating, investing and financing activities. Cash flows from operating activities
• were presented using the indirect method.

The Directors have assessed the adoption of the going concern assumption in the preparation of the Interim report on operations, concluding that this assumption is appropriate as there is no doubt about the company's ability to continue as a going concern.

ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

The accounting standards adopted to prepare the Interim report on operations as of 30 September 2021 are the same as those used to prepare the consolidated financial statements as of 31 December 2020 to which reference should be made for further details, except for the following.

It should be noted that, for a better representation of the financial statements, the "Share capital", equal to €/000 14.627, has been shown net of the "Reserve for own shares", equal to €/000 805, while at 31 December 2020 the latter item was included among the "Reserves". The comparative consolidated statements of financial position have been adjusted accordingly.

USE OF ESTIMATES

The drafting of the condensed consolidated half-yearly financial statements pursuant to IFRSs requires to make estimates and assumptions which affect the amounts of the assets and liabilities recognised in the financial statements as well as the disclosure related to contingent assets and liabilities at the reporting date. The final results could differ from these estimates. Estimates are mainly used to recognise the provisions for bad debt, realisable value, inventory obsolescence, depreciation and amortisation, impairment of assets, employee benefits, and taxes. The estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically and the effects of each change are reflected in the income statement.

SEGMENT REPORTING

IFRS 8 defines an operating segment as follows. An operating segment is a component of an entity: a) that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses (including revenues and expenses relating to transactions with other components of the same entity);

b) whose operating results are reviewed regularly by the entity's chief operating decision maker to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance; and c) for which discrete financial information is available.

Strategic decisions, including the allocation of financial resources, are the responsibility of the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Parent Company as well as the Parent Company's General Manager—the top operational decision-making level.

At least on a quarterly basis, the General Manager assesses and monitors the Group's performance by geographic area of production of operating results.

In accordance with IFRS 8, the companies of the IRCE Group were grouped in the following 3 operating segments, considering their similar economic characteristics:

• Italy: Irce SpA, Isolveco 2 Srl and Isolveco Srl in liquidation;
• EU: Smit Draad Nijemegen BV, DMG Gmbh, Irce S.L., Isodra Gmbh and IRCE SP. ZO.O., Irce S.r.o.
• Non-EU: FD Sims Ltd, Irce Ltda, Isomet AG, Stable Magnet Wire Ltda Irce Electromagnetic Wire (Jiangsu)

Below is the income statement as at 30 September 2021 broken down by operating segments of the Irce Group as well as the balance sheet balances of intangible and tangible fixed assets at the same date:

The Group uses the following types of derivative instruments:

Derivative instruments related to copper forward purchase and sale transactions with maturity after 30 September 2021. The Group entered into sale contracts to hedge against price decreases relating to the availability of raw materials, and purchase contracts to prevent price increases relating to sale commitments with fixed copper values. The fair value of copper forward contracts outstanding at the reporting date is determined on the basis of forward prices of copper with reference to the maturity dates of contracts outstanding at the reporting date. These transactions do not qualify as hedging instruments for the purposes of hedge accounting and, therefore, they affected the result for the period.

Below is a summary of cooper commodity derivative contracts for forward sales and purchases, outstanding as of 30 September 2021:

Net notional amount - tonnes Measurement unit of the		Result with fair value measurement as of 30/09/2021

COMMENT ON THE MAIN ITEMS OF THE CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL POSITION

1. INTANGIBLE ASSETS

This item refers to intangible assets from which future economic benefits are expected. The changes in their net carrying amount are shown below:

(Thousand of Euro)	Patents and intellectual property rights	Licenses, trademarks, similar rights and multi year charges	Total
Opening balance current period	41	92	133
Changes - current period
Purchases	18	4	23
Amortization	(22)	(50)	(72)
Exchange rate differences	-	-	-

2. TANGIBLE ASSETS

€/000	Land	Buildings	Plant and machinery	Industrial and commercial equipment	Other assets	Assets under construction and advances	Total
Opening balance current period	12,825	12,337	15,701	984	559	971	43,377

Closing balance current period	12,927	11,618	12,258	1,010	379	2,765	40,957

Investments of the Group in the nine months of 2021, not including Right-of-use assets, amounted to € 3.09 million and mainly related to machinery of IRCE S.p.A. and the Brazilian subsidiary IRCE Ltda.

It should be noted that the closing balance as at 30 June 2021, equal to € 40.96 million, includes Right-of-use assets for € 1.8 million. In particular, Land includes the investment for € 1.3 million made by the Chinese subsidiary to acquire the 50-year concession for the land on which the production site will be built.

The "Write down" of the period, equal to € 0.15 million, refers to plant and machinery under construction of the Parent Company and the Indian subsidiary.

3. INVESTMENTS AND NON-CURRENT FINANCIAL ASSETS

The items "Investments" and "Non-current financial assets" are broken down as follows:

	2021	2020
(Thousand of Euro)	30 September	31 December
Investments in other entities	108	102
Non current financial assets	5	125
Total investments and non current financial assets	113	227

The item "equity investments in other companies" refers to a shareholding held in the Indian subsidiary Stable Magnet Wire P. Ltd in a non-operational company.

4. DEFERRED TAXES ASSETS

An analysis of deferred tax assets and liabilities is shown below:

	2021	2020
(Thousand of Euro)	30 September	31 December
Deferred tax assets	1,432	1,387
Deferred tax liabilities	(106)	(182)
Total deferred tax	1,326	1,205

Deferred tax assets were recorded in connection with temporary differences between the carrying values of assets and liabilities for accounting purposes and their corresponding values for tax purposes and to the extent that the existence of adequate future tax profit which can allow the use of these differences is deemed probable.

It should be noted that deferred tax assets are offset against related deferred tax liabilities within the same tax jurisdiction.

5. INVENTORIES

Inventories are not pledged nor used as collateral. Inventories are broken down as follows:

	2021	2020
(Thousand of Euro)	30 September	31 December
Raw materials, ancillary and consumables	35,856	27,179
Work in progress and semi-finished goods	20,576	10,893
Finished products and goods	47,647	41,835
Provision for write down of raw material	(3,084)	(2,865)
Provision for write down of finished products and goods	(1,044)	(811)
Total inventories	99,951	76,231

The significant change in the period is due to the increase in volumes in stock and in the price of the raw material. In fact, the closing price of copper at 31 December 2020 in the LME market was 6.31 €/kg while the average quotation of the first 9 months was €/kg 7.68.

The table below shows the changes in the provision for write-down of inventories in the first half of 2021:

(Thousand of Euro)	Opening balance	Provisions	Utilization	Exchange rate differences	Closing balance
Provision for write down of raw materials	(2,865)	(238)	22	(3)	(3,084)
Provision for write down of finished goods	(811)	(290)	62	(5)	(1,044)
Total	(3,676)	(528)	84	(8)	(4,128)

The provision for write-down of raw materials corresponds to the amount deemed necessary to cover the risks of obsolescence, mainly of packaging, whilst the provision for write-down of finished products and goods is set aside against slow-moving or non-moving finished products and to align their value to their estimated realisable value.

6. TRADE RECEIVABLES

	2021	2020
(Thousand of Euro)	30 September	31 December
Current trade receivables	100,509	74,766
Current bad debt provision	(1,692)	(859)
Total trade receivables	98,817	73,907

The balance of receivables due from customers is entirely composed of receivables due within the next 12 months.

The increase of trade receivables is substantially attributable to the raise of Group's turnover compared to the last quarter of 2020.

The table below shows the changes in the bad debt provision during the first nine months of 2021:

(Thousand of Euro)	Opening balance	Provisions	Utilization	Exchange rate differences	Closing balance
Bad debt provision	(859)	(990)	165	(8)	(1,692)

The increase in the Bad debt provision is mainly due to the updated estimation of "expected losses", as the possible renewal of the insurance policy on trade receivables expired at the beginning of the year is still being assessed.

7 CURRENT TAX RECEIVABLES

This item, amounting to €/000 11, refers to tax advances already paid partially offset by current tax payables.

8. RECEIVABLES DUE FROM OTHERS

The item is detailed as follows:

	2021	2020
(Thousand of Euro)	30 September	31 December
Accrued income and prepaid expenses	116	63
Social securities receivables	19	19
Other current assets	658	1,126
VAT receivables	947	728
Total receivables due from others	1,740	1,936

The increase in "Accrued income and prepaid expenses" is due to services pertaining to the entire year invoiced at beginning of the period.

"Other current assets" mainly refers to deposits paid and insurance reimbursements.

The increase in "VAT receivables" is manily attributable to the Brazilian subsidiary, only partially offset by the decrease of the VAT balance of the Parent Company. It should be reminded that the VAT receivable

is offset within the same tax jurisdiction if, and only if, the entity has the right to offset the recognised amounts and intends to settle on a net basis.

9. OTHER CURRENT FINANCIAL ASSETS

	2021	2020
(Thousand of Euro)	30 September	31 December
Mark to market gains derivatives on metal	54	572
Guarantee deposits	7	1,293
Mark to market gains derivatives exchange rate	3	-
Mark to market gains derivatives electricity	198	38
Other current financial assets	135	-
Total other current financial assets	397	1,903

The items "Mark to market gains derivatives on metal", and "Mark to market derivatives exchange rate" and "Mark to market gains derivatives electricity" refer to the Mark to Market (Fair Value) measurement of copper, foreign exchange rate and energy outstanding as of 30/09/2021 of the Parent Company IRCE SpA.

The change of item "Guarantee deposits" is due to the repayment of the margin calls ("hedging requests") deposited with the brokers for copper forward transactions on the LME (London Metal Exchange).

The item "Other current financial assets" includes the "TEE" energy efficiency certificates held by the Parent Company, classified as at 31 December 2020 among the "Other non-current financial assets".

10. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENT

This item includes bank deposits, cash in hand and valuables.

(Thousand of Euro)	2021 30 September	2020 31 December
Bank and postal deposits Cash and cash equivalents	4,741 11	10,249 11
Total cash and cash equivalent	4,752	10,260

Total shareholders' equity	131,570	122,624

Own Shares

The nominal value of "Treasury shares" is classified as a decrease in share capital while the "Treasury Share premium reserve" reduces the reserves.

The number of treasury shares as of 30 September 2021 are 1,585,088, i.e. 5.64% of the share capital. Therefore the outstanding shares are n. 26,542,912.

Here below is the movement, in thousands, of the number of shares outstanding at 30 September 2021:

Thousands of shares
Balance as of 31/12/2019	26,590
Share buyback	(10)
Balance as of 31/12/2020	26,580
Share buyback	(37)
Balance as of 30/09/2021	26,543

IAS 19 reserve

This reserve includes actuarial gains and losses accumulated as a result of the application of IAS 19 Revised.

The change in the reserve is as follows:

(1,212)
201 (41)
(1,053)

Foreign currency translation reserve

The change in the translation reserve, equal to € 0,81 million, is mainly due to the revaluation of the Brazilian real against the Euro.

12. NON-CURRENT FINANCIAL LIABILITIES

Here below is the breakdown :

	2021	2020
(Thousand of Euro)	30 September	31 December
Non current Financial liabilities due to banks	24,495	21,069
Non current Financial liabilities - IFRS 16	166	243
Total non current financial liabilities	24,661	21,312

The table below shows the details of "Non-current financial liabilities due to bank"

€/000	Currency	Rate	Company	30/09/2021	31/12/2020	Due date
Banco di Imola M.P.S. Unicredit Mediocredito Banco Popolare Banco Popolare NAB	EUR EUR EUR EUR EUR EUR CHF	Floating Floating Floating Floating Floating Fix Zero	IRCE SpA IRCE SpA IRCE SpA IRCE SpA IRCE SpA IRCE SpA Isomet AG	5,161 7,000 5,500 2,308 1,250 2,815 461	5,500 - 10,000 3,231 1,875 463	2026 2025 2025 2025 2023 2025 2025
Total				24,495	21,069

It should be noted that as at 31 December 2020 all the financial constraints relating to existing loans, where envisaged, were fully satisfied. At 30 September 2021, however, the compliance with financial constraints is not envisaged as the "testing date" is contractually at the end of the year.

The IFRS 16 items derive from the application of the accounting standard on "Leases"; in particular the lease contracts stipulated by the Group relate to lease contracts for properties and cars.

13. PROVISIONS FOR RISKS AND CHARGES

The movements of the provisions for risks and charges - non current and current – as at 30 June 2021 are shown below:

(Thousand of Euro)	Opening	Provisions		Closing
	balance	Utilization		balance
Provision for severance payments to agent	140	-	-	140
Other provision for risks and charges	169	500	(13)	656
Total provision for risk and charges - non current	309	500	(13)	796

(Thousand of Euro)	Opening balance	Provisions	Utilization	Closing balance
Provision for severance payments to agents Other provision for risks and charges	1 194	21 116	(1) (91)	21 219
Total provision for risk and charges - current	195	137	(92)	240

The item "Provision for severance payments to agent" refers to allocations made for severance payments relating to outstanding agency contracts of the Parent Company and Smit Draad Nijemegen BV.

The "Other provision for risks and charges" refers mainly to the Parent Company and the subsidiaries FD Sims and Smit Draad Nijmegen. The increase for the period is mainly due to the provision made, with the support of its consultants, against a lawsuit still in a preliminary phase for the English subsidiary.

The Directors also point out that in May 2021, the Brazilian Supreme Court of Justice (Receipta Federal do Brasil – RFB) issued a ruling that it irrevocably stated that the ICMS regional tax should be excluded from the basis for calculating PIS and Cofins federal taxes. Therefore, the Brazilian subsidiary has the right to claim for reimbursement for the extra PIS and Cofins taxes paid to the Brazilian Treasury in relation to sales invoices issued from March 2017. Although the ruling is final, the Directors have considered appropriate to not include the tax income as at 30 September 2021waiting for an appropriate clarification that allows to have a complete and exhaustive picture of the actual financial convenience to request the reimbursement. On the basis of a preliminary estimate, the potential effect on the income statement resulting from the recording of this financial gain would be less than Euro 1 million.

14. PROVISIONS FOR EMPLOYEE DEFINED BENEFITS

The table below shows the changes in the Provision for employee defined benefits:

(Thousand of Euro)	Opening balance	Reclass	Provisions	Net equity variance	Utilization	Exchange rate differences	Closing balance
Provision for employee defined benefit - non current	4,990	4	110	(201)	(222)	(1)	4,680
Total	4,990	4	110	(201)	(222)	(1)	4,680

The Provision includes €/000 3,681 related to IRCE S.p.A., €/000 847 to ISOMET AG, €/000 65 to

15. CURRENT FINANCIAL LIABILITIES

Current financial liabilities are broken down as follows:

	2021	2020
(Thousand of Euro)	30 September	31 December
Current Financial liabilities due to banks	44,947	30,384
Current Financial liabilities - IFRS 16	111	138
Mark to market losses derivatives exchange rate	395	73
Total current financial liabilities	45,453	30,595

The item "Mark to Market losses derivatives exchange rate" refers to the Mark to Market (Fair Value) measurement of USD and GBP forward contracts outstanding as of 30/09/2021 of the Parent Company IRCE SpA.

Below is the "Net financial position" calculated accordingly with the new scheme provided for by Consob's Notice no. 5/21 of 29 April 2021, which incorporates the ESMA Guideline published on 4 March 2021.

	2021	2020
(Thousand of Euro)	30 September	31 December
Cash and cash equivalents	4,752	10,260
Current financial assets	397	1,903

Non-current financial liability	(24,661)	(21,312)
NET FINANCIAL POSITION	(64,965)	(39,744)

Net financial position at 30 September 2021 amounted to € 64.97 million, up from € 39.74 million at 31 December 2020, but down from € 72.75 million at 30 June 2021, in correlation with changes in working capital.

16. TRADE PAYABLES

Trade payables are all due in the following 12 months. As of 30 September 2021, they totalled €/000 28,798 compared to €/000 21,201 as of 31 December 2020.

The change is due either the "travelling copper", as the inconterms provide for the transfer of ownership at the time of departure of the ship while the payment of the raw material is made only on arrival, and the payment of some important wire rod suppliers at the beginning of October.

17. TAX PAYABLES

(Thousand of Euro)	2021 30 September	2020 31 December
Tax payables due to Aequafin Tax payables-current	1,808 897	226 369
Total tax payables	2,705	595

Parent company Aequafin with which a National Tax Consolidation contract is in place.

18. OTHER CURRENT LIABILITIES

Other payables are broken down as follows:

	2021	2020
(Thousand of Euro)	30 September	31 December

The increase of VAT payables is mainly due to the Parent Company

COMMENT ON THE MAIN ITEMS OF THE CONSOLIDATED INCOME STATEMENT

19. REVENUES

These refer to revenues from the sale of goods, net of returns, rebates and the return of packaging. Consolidated turnover in the first nine months, equal to €/000 341,125, increased by 65.6% compared to the prior year period (€/000 205,954), the latter negatively impacted by the Covid 19 pandemia. For additional details, see the note on segment reporting.

20. COSTS FOR RAW MATERIALS AND CONSUMABLES

This item, equal to € 286.94 million, includes respectively for € 288.83 million the costs incurred for the acquisition of raw materials, the most significant of which are copper, insulating materials and materials for packaging and maintenance, for € 6.27 million the purchase of finished goods, partially offset, for € 8.32 million, by the positive change in inventory of raw materials and consumables.

21. COSTS FOR SERVICES

These include costs incurred for the supply of services pertaining to copper processing as well as utilities, transportation and other commercial and administrative services, in addition to costs for the use of third-party goods, as detailed below:

	2021	2020
(Thousand of Euro)	30 September	30 September	Change
External processing	4,130	3,325	805
Utility expenses	10,363	5,751	4,612
Maintenance	1,613	1,310	303
Transport of sales and purchase	3,879	3,051	828
Payable fees	106	188	(82)
Statutory auditors compensation	56	56	-
Other services	3,935	3,064	871
Cost for the use of third party goods	156	190	(34)
Total cost for services	24,238	16,935	7,303

The change in costs for services, in particular in variable costs (external works, utilities and transport costs), is linked to the significant increase of production, essentially in Italy and in the Brazilian plant as well as, with the particular reference to the electricity, to the higher unit cost per MWh.

The item "Other services" includes primarily technical, legal and tax consulting fees as well as insurance and business expenses.

22. PERSONNEL COST

Personnel cost is detailed as follows:

(Thousand of Euro)	2021 30 September	2020 30 September	Change
Salaries and wages Social security charges Retirement costs for defined contribution plans Other personnel costs	15,297 3,803 1,104 2,399	14,178 3,603 1,055 2,043	1,119 200 49 356
Total personnel costs	22,603	20,879	1,724

The increase in personnel costs is attributable to the fact that in the first nine months of 2020, to cope with the drop in production due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the available holidays were used and Irce SpA had recourse to temporary layoff funds.

The item "Other personnel costs" includes costs for temporary work, contract work, and the compensation of Directors.

The Group's average number of personnel for the period and the current number at the reporting date is shown below:

	Average	Final	Final
(Number of employees)	30/09/2021	30/09/2021	30/09/2020
Executives	25	25	24
Whitecollars	155	153	150
Bluecollars	544	548	541
Total	724	726	715

The number of employees is calculated according to the Full-Time Equivalent method and includes both internal and external (temporary and contract) staff. Personnel is classified according to the type of employment contract.

23. DEPRECIATION/AMORTISATION AND IMPAIRMENT OF FIXED ASSETS

Depreciations are detailed as follows:

(Thousand of Euro)	2021 30 September	2020 30 September	Change
Amortization of intangible assets Depreciation of tangible assets Depreciation of tangible assets - IFRS 16 Write off tangible assets	72 5,574 126 147	53 5,630 64 -	19 (56) 62 147
Total amortization/depreciation and write down	5,919	5,747	172

(Thousand of Euro)	2021 30 September	2020 30 September	Change

Provision for risks	500	320	180
Total provisions and write-downs	1,518	643	875

See the sections "Provisions for risks and charges" and "Trade receivables" for the comment on the "Provisions for risks" and bad debt provision.

25. OTHER OPERATING COSTS

This item is primarily composed of contingent liabilities as well as non-deductible taxes and duties.

(Thousand of Euro)	2021 30 September	2020 30 September	Change
Other taxes and indirect taxes Capital losses and contigent liabilities Other costs	885 39 154	228 274 477	657 (235) (323)
Total other operating costs	1,078	979	99

The change in the item " Other taxes and indirect taxes", mainly relating to the Brazilian subsidiary, is attributable both to the reclassification in this report of the ICMS, PIS and Cofins taxes, included up to last year in the "Other costs" and to the increase in turnover, compared to the previous period, which

represents the taxable base of these taxes.

28. EARNINGS PER SHARE

As required by IAS 33, here below are the disclosures on the data used to calculate basic and diluted earnings per share.

For the purposes of calculating the basic earnings per share, the profit or loss for the period less the portion attributable to non-controlling interests was used as the numerator. In addition, it should be noted that there were no preference dividends, settlements of preference shares, and other similar effects to be deducted from the profit or loss attributable to the ordinary equity holders. The weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding was used as the denominator; this figure was calculated by deducting the average number of own shares held during the period from the overall number of shares composing the share capital.

Basic and diluted earnings per share were equal, as there are no ordinary shares that could have a dilutive effect and no shares or warrants that could have a dilutive effect will be exercised.

	30/09/2021	30/09/2020
Net result attributable to shareholders of the Parent Company	8,879,927	650,366
Average weighted number of ordinary shares used to calculate basic earnings per share	26,542,912	26,579,912
Basic earnings/(loss) per share	0.3345	0.0245
Diluted earnings/(loss) per share	0.3345	0.0245
