MONCLER GROUP: REVENUES BY BRAND

MONCLER

In the first six months of 2023, Moncler brand revenues were EUR 935.0 million, an increase of 29% cFX compared with the same period of 2022.

In the second quarter, revenues for the brand amounted to EUR 330.2 million, up 32% cFX YoY, accelerating sequentially compared to the growth recorded in Q1, mainly thanks to the improvement in Asia.

MONCLER H1 2023 H1 2022 % vs 2022

Asia 456,771 48.9% 333,112 46.0% +37% +39%

REVENUES 935,027 100.0% 724,261 100.0% +29% +29%

In Asia (which includes APAC, Japan and Korea) H1 revenues grew by 39% cFX compared with the first half of 2022, including an acceleration of 55% YoY in Q2. APAC recorded a strong sequential improvement, favoured by an easy comparable base in the Chinese mainland, whose performance in 2022 was negatively impacted by the lockdowns that caused the closure of around a third of the local stores in April and May, while June had seen a strong improvement with the reopening of all the stores. Japan and Korea continued to record solid double-digit growth in Q2 2023.

In EMEA, revenues grew by 29% cFX in H1 2023 vs H1 2022, with an increase in the second quarter of 30% compared with Q2 2022, supported by solid demand from local customers and the continued improvement in tourist flows. American, Chinese and Korean customers were the strongest contributors to tourist purchases in the region.

Revenues in the Americas recorded a 3% cFX growth in H1 YoY and declined by 5% in Q2 YoY, due to the impact of the conversion of Nordstrom from a wholesale to a hybrid business model, which drove the wholesale channel to negative territory in the region in the quarter. The DTC channel continued to record solid double-digit growth in Q2, with a sequential acceleration compared to Q1. Excluding the impact of the Nordstrom conversion, growth in the Americas would have been positive in the second quarter.

MONCLER: REVENUES BY CHANNEL

In the first half of 2023, the DTC channel recorded revenues of EUR 757.5 million, up 37% cFX compared with H1 2022. Revenues in the second quarter of 2023 increased 45% compared with Q2 2022, supported by strong double-digit growth in all three regions, with Asia outperforming. The direct online channel also continued to grow double-digits.

In H1 2023, revenues by stores open for at least 12 months (Comp-Store Sales Growth2 ) grew by 34% compared with the first half of 2022.

The wholesale channel recorded revenues of EUR 177.5 million in H1 2023, an increase of 2% cFX compared with the first half of 2022. In the second quarter, revenues in this channel were flat YoY, impacted by the above-mentioned conversion of Nordstrom from a wholesale to a hybrid business model in the US, whilst the performance in EMEA and Asia remained solid. Excluding the impact of the Nordstrom conversion, growth in the wholesale channel would have been mid-single-digit positive in the second quarter.

As of 30 June 2023, the network of Moncler mono-brand boutiques comprised 257 directly operated stores (DOS), an increase of two units compared with 31 March 2023, including one conversion in the Americas (Nordstrom) and one opening in Korea (Daejeon Galleria Timeworld). The Moncler brand also operates 59 wholesale shop-in-shops (SiS).

2 Comparable Store Sales Growth (CSSG) considers revenues growth from DOS (excluding outlets) open for at least 52 weeks and the online store; stores that have been expanded and/or relocated are not included.

EMEA recorded revenues of EUR 145.6 million in H1 2023, an increase of 5% cFX compared with the first half of 2022. In the second quarter, revenues grew 8% vs 2022, driven by a positive contribution from both distribution channels, with DTC outperforming.

Asia (which includes APAC, Japan and Korea) reached EUR 38.8 million revenues in H1 2023, growing 21% cFX YoY. In the second quarter, the region grew 13%, due to solid performance in the Chinese mainland and Japan, and to some perimeter effects following the 2022 wholesale-to-DTC conversions in Japan. The performance of the Korean market was softer, also due to the ongoing changes in business model.

The Americas were down 25% cFX compared with H1 2022. The second quarter saw a decline of 31%, as wholesale performance continued to be impacted by a softer business trend and a more cautious approach from department stores as a result.

REVENUES 201,563 100.0% 194,113 100.0% +4% +5%

The wholesale channel recorded revenues of EUR 127.8 million in the first half of the year, down 4% cFX compared with the first half of 2022. In the second quarter, revenues grew by 2% YoY, despite the impact of the 16 Japanese conversions from wholesale to DTC in 2022, the negative performance in the Americas and the strict volume control adopted in the management of this channel.

The DTC channel grew 23% cFX to EUR 73.7 million compared with H1 2022, representing 37% of total H1 2023 revenues. In the second quarter, revenues in this channel were up 9%, mainly due to solid doubledigit growth in EMEA, APAC and Japan, which more than offset more difficult trends in the Americas and Korea.

As of 30 June 2023, the network of Stone Island mono-brand stores comprised 74 directly operated stores (DOS), a net increase of three units compared to 31 March 2023, and 19 mono-brand wholesale stores, in line with the first quarter.

GROUP INCOME STATEMENT RESULTS

In the first six months of 2023, the consolidated gross profit was EUR 851.0 million, with an incidence of 74.9% compared with 73.8% in the same period of 2022. The increase in margin is primarily driven by the positive channel mix, with a higher incidence of the DTC channel.

Selling expenses in the first half of 2023 were EUR 374.7 million, compared with EUR 314.9 million in H1 2022, with a 33.0% incidence on revenues (34.3% in H1 2022). These expenses include EUR 169.9 million of rental costs (gross of the IFRS 16 impact equal to EUR 90.5 million) compared with EUR 138.0 million in the first half 2022. General and administrative expenses were EUR 156.9 million, with a 13.8% incidence on revenues, compared with EUR 132.7 million in the first half of 2022 (14.4% on revenues). The lower incidence of these costs is linked to a better operating leverage of the Group compared with the first half of the previous year, which had been impacted by the Covid-19 containment measures implemented in the Chinese mainland.

The stock-based compensation plans, included in selling, general and administrative expenses, led to expenses equal to EUR 19.7 million in the first half of 2023, compared with EUR 16.0 million in the first half of 2022.

Marketing expenses were EUR 101.6 million, representing 8.9% of revenues, compared with 5.4% in the first half of 2022. The higher marketing spending in the first half of 2023 vs 2022 is entirely due to a different phasing of marketing activities in H1 vs H2 compared to the previous year. Management expects an incidence on revenues of around 7% at year end, in line with the previous fiscal year.

Depreciation and amortisation, excluding those related to the rights of use recorded in application of IFRS 16, were EUR 54.6 million.

Group EBIT was EUR 217.8 million with a margin of 19.2%, compared with EUR 180.2 million in the first half of 2022.

In the first half of 2023, net interests were EUR 11.3 million, compared with EUR 11.6 million in the corresponding period of 2022.

The tax rate in H1 2023 was equal to 29.6%. In the first half of 2022, taxes reflected a one-off positive impact of the Stone Island brand value realignment for EUR 92.3 million.

The Group net result was then equal to EUR 145.4 million, compared with EUR 211.3 million in the first half of 2022 impacted by the above-mentioned non-recurring item.

NET WORKING CAPITAL

Net consolidated working capital as of 30 June 2023 was EUR 242.2 million compared with EUR 187.2 million as of 30 June 2022, equal to 8.6% of last-twelve-months revenues (8.0% at 30 June 2022 and 7.4% at 31 December 2022), reflecting the continuous and rigorous control of the working capital levels at both brands, Moncler and Stone Island. The increase in net working capital YoY was mainly driven by the inventory position, due to a different phasing of production compared to the previous year, while all other metrics improved.

BUSINESS OUTLOOK

The global macroeconomic context remains volatile, with uncertainties related to recession risks, continued inflationary pressure and geopolitical instability.

In light of this unpredictability, the Group continues to work on maintaining an agile, flexible and reactive organisation, underpinned by a portfolio of unique brands with clear and effective development strategies, in order to remain on a solid growth path.

These are the main strategic lines of development.

STRENGTHENING OF ALL MONCLER BRAND DIMENSIONS. During 2023 Moncler will further strengthen the three dimensions of the brand (Moncler Collection, Moncler Grenoble and Moncler Genius) through distinctive events and focused communication strategies. Moncler Genius is evolving the traditional concept of collaboration entering a new phase of co-creation, based on the involvement of new talents who embrace new forms of creativity between design, entertainment, music and sport going well beyond fashion, as presented in London on 20 February. Moncler Collection will see the celebration in a new and modern approach of other iconic styles that have built the brand's legacy to date. Moncler Grenoble will continue to strengthen its awareness, with dedicated marketing initiatives and a wider and more complete performance-oriented collection suitable for all the seasons of the year.

DEVELOPMENT OF THE STONE ISLAND BRAND AT INTERNATIONAL LEVEL AND IN THE DTC CHANNEL. During 2023, Stone Island will continue to strengthen its position in core markets, such as the European countries, and increase its penetration in less mature regions with high potential. Stone Island's DTC channel expansion will also continue, with the opening of some selected DOS under the new store design and with targeted clienteling and communication strategies. Under the leadership of its newlyappointed CEO, the brand will continue its evolution to drive worldwide resonance and strengthen its unique positioning, which has its own identity and value matrix rooted in the culture of research and experimentation.

SUSTAINABLE AND RESPONSIBLE GROWTH. Moncler Group believes in a sustainable and responsible development according to shared values that are reflective of stakeholder expectations and consistent with the Group's long-term strategy. An approach based on the commitment to set increasingly ambitious goals as well as on the awareness that every action has an impact on the society and the environment in which we operate. In 2023 Moncler commits to implement the actions and projects necessary to pursue the sustainability objectives published in the 2020-2025 Plan. The five strategic priorities of the Sustainability Plan are: climate change and biodiversity, circular economy and innovation, responsible supply chain, enhancement of diversity and support for local communities.

EXPLANATORY NOTES TO THE HALF-YEAR CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF 30 JUNE 2023

1. GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE GROUP

The parent company Moncler S.p.A. is a company established and domiciled in Italy. The address of the registered office is Via Stendhal 47 Milan, Italy, and its registration number is 04642290961.

Moreover, the parent company Moncler S.p.A. is de-facto controlled by Remo Ruffini through Ruffini Partecipazioni Holding S.r.l. (RPH) and Double R S.r.l. (DR): more specifically, Remo Ruffini owns the entire share capital of RPH, a company controlling DR which, in turn, as of 30 June 2023 holds a shareholding representing 23.7% of the share capital of Moncler S.p.A.

The Half-year Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as of 30 June 2023 ("Half-year Consolidated Financial Statements") include the parent company and the subsidiaries (hereafter referred to as the "Group").

To date, the Group's core businesses are the creation, production and distribution of clothing for men, women and children, shoes, eyewear and other accessories under the Moncler and Stone Island brand name.

1.2. BASIS FOR THE PREPARATION OF THE HALF-YEAR CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.2.1. RELEVANT ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES

The Half-year Consolidated Financial Statements as of 30 June 2023 have been prepared in accordance with Art. 154-ter of Legislative Decree 58 of 24 February 1998 ("Testo Unico della Finanza – TUF"), as amended, and in conformity with IAS 34. They do not include all the information that would be necessary for the yearly consolidated financial statements and should be read together with consolidated financial statements as 31 December 2022, which were prepared in accordance with the international financial reporting standards ("IFRS") issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") and endorsed by the European Union.

The term "IFRS" is also used to refer to all revised international accounting standards ("IAS"), all interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee ("IFRIC"), formerly known as the Standing Interpretations Committee ("SIC").

It should be noted that the consolidated income statement, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of financial position, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows are prepared in accordance and are the same as those used in the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended 31 December 2022. The following notes to the consolidated financial statements are presented in a summary format and do not include all the information required in an annual set of financial statements. It should be noted, as required by IAS 34, in order to avoid duplicating the information already provided, the notes refer exclusively to the consolidated income statement, consolidated statement of comprehensive income, consolidated statement of financial position, consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows, whose nature and

changes are essential in order to understand the financial position and results of operations of the Group.

The Half-year Consolidated Financial Statements as of 30 June 2023 are made up 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 statement of cash flows and the notes thereto. The comparative information included in these consolidated financial statements, as required by IAS 34, compares 31 December 2022 for the consolidated statement of financial position and the half-year ended 30 June 2022 for the consolidated changes in equity, the consolidated statement of income, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income and the consolidated statement of cash flows.

1.2.2. PRESENTATION OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The Group presents the consolidated income statement by destination, the method that is considered most representative for the business. This method is in fact consistent with the internal reporting and management of the business.

With reference to the consolidated statement of financial position, a basis of presentation has been chosen which makes a distinction between current and non-current assets and liabilities, in accordance with the provisions of paragraph 60 and thereafter of IAS 1.

The consolidated statement of cash flows is prepared under the indirect method.

According to the provisions of IAS 24 and Consob, the next few paragraphs describe related party transactions with the Group and their impact, if significant, on the consolidated statement of financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

1.2.3. BASIS FOR PREPARATION

The Half-year Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for the measurement of certain financial instruments (i.e. derivative measured at fair value) as required by IFRS 9 and on a going concern basis.

The Half-year Consolidated Financial Statements are presented in thousand euro, which is the functional currency of the markets where the Group mainly operates.

1.2.4. USE OF ESTIMATES AND VALUATIONS

The preparation of Half-year Consolidated Financial Statements and the related notes in conformity with IFRS requires that management make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the reporting date. The estimates and related assumptions are based on historical experience and other relevant factors. The actual results could differ from those estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed periodically and any variations are reflected in the consolidated income statement in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or even in subsequent periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

In the event that management's estimate and judgment had a significant impact on the amounts recognized in the Half-year Consolidated Financial Statements or in case that there is a risk of future adjustments on the amounts recognized for assets and liabilities in the period immediately after the reporting date, the following notes will include the relevant information.

The estimates pertain mainly to the following items of the consolidated financial statements:

  • impairment of non-current assets and goodwill;
  • impairment of trade receivables (bad debt provision);
  • allowance for returns;
  • impairment of inventories (obsolescence provision);
  • recoverability of deferred tax assets;
  • provision for losses and contingent liabilities;
  • lease liabilities and assets for right of use;
  • Incentive systems and variable remuneration;
  • IAS 29 hyperinflation;
  • financial liabilities for the purchase of minority interests;
  • IFRIC 23: uncertainty over income tax treatments.

Impairment of non-current assets and goodwill

Non-current assets include property, plant and equipment, intangible assets with indefinite useful life and goodwill, investments and other financial assets.

Management periodically reviews non-current assets for impairment if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. When a review for impairment is conducted, the recoverable amount is estimated based on the present value of future cash flows expected to derive from the asset or from the sale of the asset itself, at a suitable discount rate.

When the recoverable amount of a non-current asset is less than its carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognized immediately in profit or loss and the carrying amount is reduced to its recoverable amount determined based on value-in-use calculation or its sale's value in an arm's length transaction, with reference to the most recent Group business plan.

Impairment of trade receivables

The bad debt provision reflects management's best estimate of the probable loss for unrecoverable trade receivables.

Allowance for returns

The allowance for returns reflects management's best estimate of the asset arising from expected product returns and the associated liability for future refunds.

Impairment of inventory

The Group manufactures and sells mainly clothing goods that are subject to changing consumer demands and fashion trends. Inventory impairment represents management's best estimate for losses arising from the sales of aged products, taking into consideration their sale ability through the Group's distribution channels.

Recoverability of deferred tax assets

The Group is subject to income taxes in numerous jurisdictions. Judgment is required in determining the provision for income taxes in each territory. The Group recognizes deferred tax assets when there is a reasonable expectation of realisation within a period that is consistent with management estimation and business plans.

Provision for losses and contingent liabilities

The Group is subject to legal and tax litigations arising in the countries where it operates. Litigations are inevitably subject to risk and uncertainties surrounding the events and circumstances associated with the claims and associated with local legislation and jurisdiction. In the normal course of the business, management requests advice from the Group legal consultants and tax experts. The recognition of a provision is based on management's best estimate when an outflow of resources is probable to settle the obligation and the amount can be estimated with reliability. In those circumstances where the outflow of resources is possible or the amount of the obligation cannot be measured with sufficient reliability, the contingent liabilities is disclosed in the notes to the Halfyear Consolidated Financial Statements.

Lease liabilities and assets for right of use

According to IFRS 16 accounting standard, with reference to multi-annual lease agreement, the Group recognises the asset for the right of use and the liability for the lease. The asset for the right of use is initially valued at cost or at the present value of the rental costs provided by the contract, and then subsequently at cost net of accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, and adjusted to reflect the revaluation of the lease liability.

The Group values the lease liability at the present value of the payments due for unpaid leases at the effective date, discounting them using an interest rate determined taking into account the term of the lease contracts, the currency in which they are denominated, the characteristics of the economic environment in which the contract was stipulated and the credit adjustment.

The lease liability is subsequently increased by the interest accrued on this liability and decreased by the payments due for the lease made and is revalued in the event of a change in the future payments due for the lease deriving from a change in the index or rate, in the event of a change in the amount that the Group expects to pay as a guarantee on the residual value or when the Group changes its valuation with reference to the exercise or otherwise of a purchase, extension or cancellation option.

Lease contracts in which the Group acts as a lessee may provide for renewal options with effects, therefore, on the duration of the contract. Relative certainty that this option will (or won't) be exercised can influence, even significantly, the amount of lease liabilities and right of use assets.

Incentive systems and variable remuneration

For the description of the determination of the fair value of share-based incentive payments for the Moncler Group management, please see paragraph 2.13 of the consolidated financial statements as 31 December 2022.

The accounting policy adopted by the Group provides for the IFRS2 reserve to be released and reclassified as retained earnings when the Board of Directors resolves on the allocation of Moncler Rights to each beneficiary.

IAS 29 Hyperinflation

Furthermore, IAS 29, should have been applied for the Turkish subsidiary as at 30 June 2023, as well as at 31 December 2022, because Turkey continued to meet the criteria for a hyperinflationary economy during the half-year. However, the accounting effects of applying that accounting standard are not significant and thus have not been considered in the preparation of this Half-year Consolidated Financial Statements.

For an estimate of financial liabilities related to the purchase of minority interests and IFRIC 23: uncertainty over income tax treatments see paragraphs 2.20 and 2.16 of the consolidated financial statements as 31 December 2022.

4. COMMENTS ON THE MAIN ITEMS OF THE CONSOLIDATED INCOME STATEMENT

4.1. REVENUES

REVENUES BY BRAND

(Euro/000) 1H 2023 % 1H 2022 %
Total revenues 1,136,590 100.0% 918,374 100.0%
Moncler 935,027 82.3% 724,261 78.9%
Stone Island 201,563 17.7% 194,113 21.1%

In the first six months of 2023 Moncler Group reached consolidated revenues of EUR 1,136.6 million up 23.8% compared with the same period in 2022. These results include Moncler brand revenues equal to EUR 935.0 million and Stone Island brand revenues equal to EUR 201.6 million.

ANALYSIS OF MONCLER BRAND REVENUE

In the first six months of 2023, Moncler brand revenues were EUR 935.0 million, an increase of 29,1% compared with EUR 724.3 million in the same period of 2022.

REVENUES BY REGION

Sales are broken down by region as reported in the following table:

Revenues by region
(Euro/000) 1H 2023 % 1H 2022 % Variation % Variation
Asia 456,771 48.9% 333,112 46.0% 123,659 37.1%
EMEA 340,651 36.4% 264,547 36.5% 76,104 28.8%
Americas 137,605 14.7% 126,602 17.5% 11,003 8.7%
Total 935,027 100.0% 724,261 100.0% 210,766 29.1%

In Asia (which includes APAC, Japan and Korea), H1 revenues grew 37.1% compared with the first half of 2022. APAC recorded a strong sequential improvement, favoured by an easy comparable base in the Chinese mainland, whose performance in 2022 was negatively impacted by the lockdowns that caused the closure of around a third of the local stores in April and May, while June had seen a strong improvement with the reopening of all the stores. Japan and Korea continued to record a double-digit growth in the first semester of 2023.

In EMEA, revenues increased by 28.8% in the first half of 2023 versus the same period of 2022, supported by solid demand from local customers and a continued improvement in tourist flows. American, Chinese and Korean customers were the strongest contributors to tourist purchases in the region.

Revenues in the Americas recorded a 8.7% growth in the first semester 2023. The DTC channel continued to record solid double-digit growth in the first semester of 2023, with a sequential acceleration compared to Q1.

REVENUES BY DISTRIBUTION CHANNEL

Revenues per distribution channels are broken down as follows:

(Euro/000) 1H 2023 % 1H 2022 %
Total revenues
of which:
935,027 100.0% 724,261 100.0%
- Wholesale 177,533 19.0% 168,338 23.2%
- DTC 757,494 81.0% 555,923 76.8%

In the first half, the DTC channel recorded revenues of EUR 757.5 million, up 36.3% compared with H1 2022 supported by strong double-digit growth in all three regions. The direct online channel also continued to grow double digits.

The wholesale channel recorded revenues of EUR 177.5 million, with an increase of 5.5% compared with the first semester of 2022.

REVENUES ANALYSIS OF THE STONE ISLAND BRAND

In the first half of 2023, Stone Island brand revenues reached EUR 201.6 million with respect to EUR 194.1 million in the same period of 2022.

REVENUES BY REGION

Revenues by region
(Euro/000) 1H 2023 % 1H 2022 % Variation % Variation
Asia 38,806 19.2% 33,308 17.2% 5,498 16.5%
EMEA 145,645 72.3% 138,231 71.2% 7,414 5.4%
Americas 17,112 8.5% 22,574 11.6% (5,462) (24.2)%
Total 201,563 100.0% 194,113 100.0% 7,450 3.8%

Sales are broken down by region as reported in the following table:

EMEA recorded revenues of EUR 145.6 million in the first half of 2023, an increase of 5.4% compared with the first half of 2022.

Asia (which includes APAC, Japan and Korea) reached EUR 38.8 million revenues in the first semester of 2023, growing 16.5% compared with the first semester 2022, due to solid performance in the Chinese mainland and Japan, and to some perimeter effects (following the 2022 wholesale to DTC conversion in Japan). The performance of the Korean market was softer, also due to the ongoing changes in business model.

The Americas were down -24.2% compared with H1 2022, as wholesale performance continued to be impacted by a softer business trend and a more cautious approach from department stores as a result.

REVENUES BY DISTRIBUTION CHANNEL

Revenues per distribution channels are broken down as follows:

(Euro/000) 1H 2023 % 1H 2022 %
Total revenues
of which:
201,563 100.0% 194,113 100.0%
Wholesale 127,847 63.4% 132,992 68.5%
DTC 73,716 36.6% 61,121 31.5%

The wholesale channel recorded revenues of EUR 127.8 million in the first half of the year, down - 3.9% compared with the first half of 2022.

The DTC channel grew 20.6% to EUR 73.7 million compared with H1 2022, representing 36.6% of total H1 2023 revenues, mainly due to solid double-digit growth in EMEA, APAC and Japan, which more than offset more difficult trends in the Americas and Korea.

4.2. COST OF SALES

In the first half of 2023, cost of sales increased by EUR 44.9 million in absolute terms (+18.7%), from EUR 240.7 million in the first half of 2022 to EUR 285.6 million in the first half of 2023. Cost of sales incidence on revenues decreased from 26.2% in the first half of 2022 to 25.1% in the first half of 2023.

4.3. SELLING EXPENSES

Selling expenses in the first half of 2023 were EUR 374.7 million compared with EUR 314.9 million in H1 2022, with a 33.0% incidence on revenues (34.3% in the first half of 2022).

Selling expenses mainly include rent costs excluded from the application of the IFRS 16 for EUR 79.4 million (EUR 63.5 million in the first half of 2022), personnel costs for EUR 103.0 million (EUR 81.3 million in the first half of 2022), costs for depreciation of the right of use for EUR 80.4 million (EUR 63.7 million in the first half of 2022) and other amortization and depreciation for EUR 39.0 million (EUR 37.8 million in the first half of 2022).

This item also includes costs related to stock-based compensation plans for EUR 3.1 million (EUR 2.8 million in the first half of 2022).

4.4. GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

In the first half of 2023 general and administrative expenses were equal to EUR 156.9 million, with 13.8% incidence on revenues, compared with EUR 132.7 million, with 14.4% incidence, in the first half of 2022. The lower incidence of these costs is linked to a better operating leverage of the Group compared with the first half of the previous year, which had been impacted by the Covid-19 containment measures implemented in the Chinese mainland.

This item also includes costs related to stock-based compensation plans for EUR 16.6 million (EUR 13.2 million in the first half of 2022).

4.5. MARKETING EXPENSES

Marketing expenses amounted to EUR 101.6 million in the first half of 2023, with 8.9% incidence on revenues, compared with 5.4% of the first half of 2022. The higher marketing spending in the first half of 2023 vs 2022 is entirely due to a different phasing of marketing activities in H1 vs H2 compared to the previous year. Management expects an incidence on revenues of around 7% at year end, in line with the previous fiscal year

4.6. OPERATING RESULT

The operating result was EUR 217.8 million, with a margin of 19.2%, compared with EUR 180.2 million, with a margin of 19.6%, in the first half of 2022.

5.2. IMPAIRMENT OF INTANGIBLE FIXED ASSETS WITH AN UNDEFINED USEFUL LIFE AND GOODWILL

The items Brands, Other intangible fixed assets with undefined useful life and Goodwill have not been amortised, but have been tested for impairment by management at least annually when the year-end financial statements are prepared.

The business performance recorded in the first half 2023 are consistent with the assumptions made when testing the recoverability of the value of Moncler and Stone Island goodwill and of Moncler and Stone Island brands during the preparation of the Annual Consolidated Financial Statements as at 31 December 2022. Therefore, no potential indicators of impairment were identified and no specific impairment tests were performed on these items for the purposes of preparing these Consolidated Half-Year Financial Statements.

Finally, it is also underlined that the Company's stock market capitalisation, based on the average price of Moncler share in the first half 2023, shows a significant positive difference with respect to the Group net equity, confirming again the value of the goodwill.

The increases in the first half of 2023 refer to new lease agreements for the opening or relocation of retail stores and the renewal of existing lease agreements, mainly in the region EMEA, APAC and Americas.

In addition to the above mentioned effect arising from the application of the IFRS 16, the changes in property plant and equipment in the first half of 2023 show an increase in gross value of the items plant and equipment, fixture and fittings, leasehold improvements and assets in progress and advances: all of these items are mainly related to the development of the distribution network and the investments for the expansion of the production sites.

The business performance recorded in the periods under analysis are consistent with the assumptions made when testing the recoverability of the value of the rights of use during the preparation of the Annual Consolidated Financial Statements as at 31 December 2022. Therefore, no potential indicators of impairment were identified and no specific impairment tests were performed on these items.

5.4. DEFERRED TAX ASSETS AND DEFERRED TAX LIABILITIES

The balances of the Deferred tax assets and liabilities as at 30 June 2023, over the comparable period of last year are reported below:

Deferred taxation
(Euro/000) 30 June 2023 31 December 2022

Net amount 215,782 190,742

Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset only when there is a law within a given tax jurisdiction, which provides for such right to offset.

In view of the nature of the net deferred tax assets and the expectation of future taxable income, no indicators have been identified regarding the non-recoverability of the deferred tax assets recognised in the financial statements.

5.5. INVENTORY

Inventory as at 30 June 2023 amounts to EUR 486.8 million (EUR 377.5 million as at 31 December 2022) and is broken down as follows:

Inventory
(Euro/000) 30 June 2023 31 December 2022
Raw materials 130,284 134,521
Work-in-progress 85,666 60,714
Finished products 509,917 424,143
Inventories, gross 725,867 619,378
Obsolescence provision (239,070) (241,829)
Total 486,797 377,549

Finished products and work-in-progress in inventory in the first half of each year are impacted by seasonality; specifically, they tend to increase as at 30 June compared to December as the average production cost of the products of the Autumn/Winter collection, in stock in June, is higher than the average production cost of the products of the Spring/Summer collection, in stock in December.

The obsolescence provision is calculated using management's best estimate based on the season needs and the inventory balance based on passed sales trends through alternative channels and future sales outlook, consistent with the actions defined to support the volumes provided for in the Business Plan.

5.6. TRADE RECEIVABLES

Trade receivables as at 30 June 2023 amounted to EUR 177.8 million (EUR 296.5 million as at 31 December 2022) and are as follows:

Allowance for doubtful debt (14,945) (15,009)
Allowance for discounts (370) (132)

Trade receivables are related to the Group's wholesale business and they include balances with a collection period not greater than three months. During the first half of 2023 there were no concentration of credit risk greater than 10% associated to individual customers.

The allowance for doubtful debts was calculated in accordance with management's best estimate based on the ageing of accounts receivable as well as the solvency of the oldest accounts and also taking into consideration any balances turned over into collection proceedings. Trade receivables written down are related to specific balances that were past due and for which collection is uncertain.

The allowance for doubtful debts also includes a component related to the "expected credit loss", connected to the particular situation of the period and to the American market.

5.7. CASH AND BANKS

As at 30 June 2023, cash on hand and cash at banks amount to EUR 488.5 million (EUR 882.3 million as at 31 December 2022) and includes cash and cash equivalents as well as the funds available at banks.

The amount included in the Half-year Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements represents the fair value at the date of the financial statements. The credit risk is very limited since the other parties are class A financial institutions.

The consolidated statement of cash flows includes the changes in cash and cash at banks as well as the bank overdrafts.

5.8. FINANCIAL CURRENT ASSETS

The financial current assets consist of the receivables arising from the market valuation of the derivatives on exchange rates hedges.

5.16. SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY

Changes in shareholders' equity for the first half of 2023 and the comparative period are included in the consolidated statements of changes in equity.

As at 30 June 2023 the subscribed share capital constitute by 274.627.673 shares was fully paid and amounted to EUR 54.925.534,60, with a nominal value of EUR 0.20 per share.

As at 30 June 2023 4.490.875 treasury shares were held, equal to 1.6% of the share capital, for a total value of EUR 173.3 million.

The legal reserve (integrated with the legal values when allocating the 2022 profit) and premium reserve pertain to the parent company Moncler S.p.A.

In the first half 2023 the parent company distributed dividends to the Group Shareholders for an amount of EUR 302.5 million of which EUR 300.3 paid in the first half 2023 (EUR 161.3 million distributed in 2022, of which EUR 156.4 paid in the first half 2022).

The change in the IFRS 2 reserve is due to the accounting treatment of the performance shares plans, i.e., to the recognition of the figurative cost for the period relating to these plans and the reclassification to retained earnings of the cumulative figurative cost of the plans already closed.

The change in retained earnings mainly relates to the allocation of 2022 result, the dividends distribution, the above-mentioned reclassification of the IFRS 2 reserve and the adjustment to the market value of the financial liabilities to non-banking third parties.

The FTA reserve includes the effects of the initial application of the IFRS 16.

Other reserves include other comprehensive income comprising the translation reserve referred to foreign entities, the reserve for exchange rate risks hedging and the reserve for actuarial gains/losses. The translation reserve includes the exchange differences emerging from the translation of the financial statements of the foreign consolidated companies. The hedging reserve includes the effective portion of the net differences accumulated in the fair value of the derivative hedging instruments. Changes to these reserves were as follows:

6. SEGMENT INFORMATION

For the purposes of IFRS 8 "Operating segments", the activity carried out by the Group can be identified in the operating segments referring to the Moncler business and the Stone Island business. However, these operating segments were aggregated into a single reportable segment, consistent with the core principle of IFRS 8, as the segments have similar economic characteristics and share common features, i.e.:

  • the nature of the products;
  • the nature of the production processes;
  • the type of customers;
  • the distribution channels.

7. SEASONALITY

Moncler Group's results are influenced by various seasonal factors, linked to its business model and to the industry in which the Group operates.

Over the years, the Moncler brand has preserved its inherent connotation and heritage, linked to the mountains and cold weather, and therefore a strong exposure to products associated with the winter season. The outerwear, especially the duvet coat, continues to be an important element of the brand's product range although this has been extended over the years to other product categories and the spring/summer collections.

Given the importance of outerwear, and of winter products in general, Moncler's DTC revenues are more concentrated in the first and mainly fourth quarters of each financial year. In the wholesale channel, revenues are concentrated in the third quarter, when third-party retailers are invoiced for Autumn/Winter collections and, at a lower level, in the first quarter, when third-party retailers are invoiced for Spring/Summer collections.

The Stone Island brand, on the other hand, has developed a balanced presence across the different seasons, while still generating a significant portion of its turnover through the wholesale channel. This implies that the first and third quarters are the two main quarters for the Stone Island brand, when the Spring/Summer and Fall/Winter collections are shipped to wholesale customers.

Given the significant seasonality of the Group's business, substantially linked to the seasonality of the Moncler brand, and the possible influence of exogenous factors on quarterly results, such as weather conditions, individual interim results may not make a uniform contribution to annual results and may not be directly comparable with those of previous quarters.

Finally, the revenues trend and the dynamics of the production cycles have an impact on net working capital and net debt. Group's cash generation peaks in March and December, linked to the cash flow of the Moncler brand, while the months of June and July are characterised by high cash absorption.

8. COMMITMENTS AND GUARANTEES GIVEN

8.1. COMMITMENTS

The Group does not have significant commitments arising from operating lease contract or other contractual cases that do not fall within the scope of IFRS 16 (mainly related to temporary stores and pop-up stores with a term of less than one year).

8.2. GUARANTEES GIVEN

As at 30 June 2023 the Group had given the following guarantees:

9. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

As the Group operates globally, it is subject to legal and tax risks which may arise during the performance of its ordinary activities. Based on information available to date, the Group believes that at the date of preparation of this document there are no further potential liabilities in addition to those already recorded in the provisions accrued in the Half-year Consolidated Financial Statements.

10.2. STOCK OPTION PLANS

The Half-year Consolidated Financial Statements at 30 June 2023 reflects the values of the Performance Shares Plans approved in 2020 and in 2022.

The costs related to stock-based compensation plans are equal to EUR 19.7 million in the first half of 2023, compared with EUR 16.0 million in the first half of 2022.

On 11 June 2020, the Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting has approved, pursuant to art. 114-bis of the Consolidated Law on Finance, the adoption of a Stock Grant Plan denominated "2020 Performance Shares Plan" addressed to Executive Directors, Key Managers, employees and collaborators, therein including Moncler's external consultants and of its subsidiaries.

The object of the Plan is the free granting of the Moncler shares in case certain Performance Targets are achieved at the end of the vesting period of 3 years.

The Performance Targets are expressed base on the following index of the Group in the Vesting Period, adjusted by the conditions of over/under performance: (i) Net Income, (ii) Free Cash Flow and (iii) ESG (Environmental Social Governance).

The proposed maximum number of shares serving the Plan is equal to n. 2,000,000 resulting from capital increase and/or allocation of treasury shares.

The Plan provides for a maximum of 3 cycles of attribution; as regards the first attribution cycle, on 11 June 2020 the Board of Directors resolved the granting of 1,350,000 Moncler Rights. The second attribution cycle, approved during 2021, ended with the assignment of 463,425 Moncler Rights.

As regards the first allocation cycle:

  • The 3-year vesting period ended with the approval of the Draft Financial Statements as at December 31, 2022;
  • The performance targets were met, together with the over-performance condition. Therefore, No. 1,312,424 shares (including No. 218,738 shares deriving from over-performance) were assigned to the beneficiaries through a share capital increase (No. 944,833 shares) and the allocation of treasury shares (No. 367,541 shares).

The Performance Targets are expressed base on the following index of the Group in the Vesting Period, adjusted by the conditions of over/under performance: (i) Net Income, (ii) Free Cash Flow and (iii) ESG (Environmental Social Governance).

The Plan provides for a maximum of 3 cycles of attribution. As regards the first attribution cycle, on 4 May 2022 the Board of Directors resolved the granting of 971,169 Moncler Rights.

REPORT ON REVIEW OF THE HALF-YEARLY CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

To the Shareholders of Moncler S.p.A.

Introduction

We have reviewed the accompanying half-yearly condensed consolidated financial statements of Moncler S.p.A. and subsidiaries (Moncler Group), which comprise the consolidated statement of financial position as of June 30, 2023 and the consolidated income statement, consolidated statement of comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for the six month period then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory notes. The Directors are responsible for the preparation of the half-yearly condensed consolidated 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 the half-yearly condensed consolidated financial statements based on our review.

Scope of Review

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 half-yearly financial statements under Resolution n° 10867 of July 31, 1997. A review of half-yearly condensed consolidated 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.
