Interim Directors' Report

Introduction

Article 154 ter, paragraph 5 of the Consolidated Law on Finance, as amended by Legislative Decree no. 25/2016, no longer requires issuers to publish an interim report on operations for the first and third quarters of the financial year. This law gives CONSOB the possibility of requiring issuers, on the outcome of a specific impact analysis and through its own regulations, to publish interim financial information in addition to the annual report and half-year financial report.

Considering the above, the Piaggio Group has decided to continue publishing its interim report on operations for the first and third quarters of each financial year on a voluntary basis, to guarantee continual, regular disclosure to the financial community.

In some cases, data could be affected by rounding off defects due to the fact that figures are represented in millions of Euros; changes and percentages are calculated from figures in thousands of Euros and not from rounded off figures in millions of Euros.

Mission

The mission of the Piaggio Group is to generate value for its shareholders, clients and employees, by acting as a global player that creates superior quality products, services and solutions for urban and extraurban mobility that respond to evolving needs and lifestyles.

To stand out as a player that contributes to the social and economic growth of the communities in which it operates, considering, in its activities, the need to protect the environment and the collective wellbeing of the community.

To be an Italian global player in the light mobility segment, standing out for its superior design, creativity and tradition. To become a leading European company with a world-class reputation, championing a business model based on the values of quality and tradition, and on the ongoing creation of value.

Health emergency - COVID-19

During the first few months of 2020, a factor of macro-economic instability came to the fore, connected with the spread of COVID-19 ("coronavirus") which initially affected economic activity in China in the first few weeks of 2020 and then other countries.

Following the health emergency declared by the World Health Organisation, the government authorities of various countries ordered production and commercial activities to stop, limiting people's freedom of movement in some cases, with a considerable impact on the general macro-economic framework in the first half of the year in the West and in China – and also in the third quarter in India – affecting in particular the automotive markets where the Company and its subsidiaries operate.

During lockdown, business and consumer confidence rapidly declined in Italy and other European countries. The PMI Index reached a record low in Italy and the Euro zone and financial market instability reached the peak figures of 2008-2009, in even quicker times. Thanks to more stringent policies adopted by governments and supranational financial institutions, the outbreak of a new financial crisis on a wide scale has been avoided.

Since the virus first spread, the Group has taken all possible precautions to guarantee the safety of its employees at its sites. In compliance with the notice issued by the Prime Minister on 21 March 2020, production at the Group's Italian sites was stopped from 23 March 2020 to 3 May 2020, and at the same time employees worked remotely.

In India, based on the lockdown instruction issued on 24 March by the Indian government, production was stopped from 25 March 2020 to 18 May 2020, even though the Indian government decided on activities restarting from 4 May, with local, intermittent lockdowns put in place for new outbreaks in the last few months.

In Vietnam, production was never stopped, but measures were necessary to make up for the lack of supplies from China and Malaysia.

Distribution and sales in various countries where the Company and its subsidiaries operate were initially stopped, but resumed on 14 April and have continued based on schedules defined in each country where the Group is present.

Since late spring, Western markets and China have picked up considerably, enabling a partial recovery in GDP and demand for vehicles.

In the light of the trend registered in the last quarter (apart from the Indian market, still affected by intermittent lockdowns), with results above expectations and better than the same period of the

previous year, considering the financial structure, compliance with covenants (tested in June 2020) and irrevocable and revocable loans available, there are no doubts as to the business being a going concern.

Significant events in the first nine months of 2020

24 January 2020 – The Piaggio Group announced it had already started the production of threewheeler vehicles in India conforming to new emission regulations, Bharat Stage VI - becoming the first manufacturer of three-wheelers in the country to have updated its entire range to the new standards. The models, which run on diesel, have an entirely new control unit, a 599 cc engine, 5 gears and a new, aluminium clutch. The updated cargo range features a larger cabin, while the passenger version has been fitted with new doors designed for even greater passenger safety. Lastly, alternative fuel models are equipped with one of the most advanced transmission systems in the sector, and feature an ultra hitech 3-valve, 230 cc engine. The Piaggio Group has always focussed in particular on the engineering of its products to reduce emissions to a minimum and this attentive policy has allowed it to comply with the new regulation ahead of schedule without any risk of negative impacts on production or sales.

10 February 2020 - The Piaggio Group presented the new Aprilia SXR 160 for the Indian market. With an amazingly sporty and hi-tech style, the Aprilia SXR 160 is destined to become the leading light in the premium two-wheeler segment in India, expanding the range and potential number of top-end products, that already include the Vespa and Aprilia SR 150.

25 March 2020 - The rating agency Standard and Poor's lowered its rating of Piaggio from BB- to B+ and revised its outlook from stable to negative due to the impact of coronavirus.

8 April 2020 - The rating agency Moody's confirmed its Ba3 rating and revised its outlook from stable to negative due to the impacts of coronavirus.

25 April 2020 – Gita, the robot designed, developed and manufactured by Piaggio Fast Forward, won in two categories of the 2020 Red Dot Awards Product Design: the "Red Dot quality seal" for its unique, disruptive design and the most prestigious accolade "Best of the best" for innovative products.

30 April 2020 – The last meeting between the Group and trade union organisations of Italian sites was held to explain the procedures and measures introduced to guarantee workers the utmost health protection, in view of the Piaggio Group sites re-opening in Italy on 4 May. The measures, in line with Protocols of agreement signed in previous days, are based on provisions of government decrees issued as part of actions to combat the spread of COVID-19 and have been supplemented by additional health measures already introduced by the Piaggio Group, to keep its employees safe. In view of the return to work, the Piaggio Group has carried out major sanitisation at all workplaces. A daily plan to sanitise workplaces and equipment at the end of the day and after each shift, and for additional weekly sanitisation, has been prepared. Work organisation takes into account both health and production requirements. Suitable measures have been adopted to guarantee social distancing of at least 1 metre during work activities, when entering and leaving sites, and in the canteen and communal areas. The

body temperature of people entering sites is measured using thermal scanners. Production lines have been redesigned and organised to guarantee a distance between operators. During the day, the company doctor will be on hand, for all workers. Access to canteens has been planned to reduce the number of users at the same time. Spaces have been redesigned and Plexiglass barriers fitted at tables. Disposable items are also used. All workers will be given a kit at regular intervals with personal protective equipment such as masks, gloves and, when necessary, goggles. Hand sanitiser dispensers are available for everyone. Work shifts end earlier so personnel can get changed in time and organise their return home. If compatible with technical/organisational requirements, home working will be used for specific activities and for people with particular health conditions assessed by the Company Doctor. An information pack on the measures and rules to adopt on company premises is distributed to all workers. Suppliers and staff of external companies are also required to comply with the rules in the signed Protocols.

4 May 2020 – After introducing numerous procedures and measures to guarantee the utmost health and safety of workers, the Piaggio Group opened production sites and sales outlets in Italy.

11 May 2020 – The Piaggio Group resumed production activities also at the Indian site in Baramati. Therefore all Piaggio Group production sites worldwide have resumed production after the interruptions caused by COVID-19. The Vietnamese site had not stopped production, but was affected by slowdowns due to suppliers. In India, the lockdown of dealers ended the week beforehand, with the re-opening of around 190 dealers of commercial vehicles and two-wheelers, and sales activities consequently restarting.

25 May 2020 – The invalidity division of the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO) declared the design registered by a Chinese scooter, used to justify the production of scooters similar to the Vespa and showcased at the Milan two-wheeler show, EICMA 2019, which were removed by the competent authorities of the Show, on the initiative of Piaggio, as invalid. The invalidity division of EUIPO cancelled the registration, stating that it represented an unlawful attempt to reproduce the design. This invalidity action is part of broader-reaching activities the Piaggio Group has been involved in for many years, to fight against counterfeiting.

2 July 2020 - The Piaggio Group signed a loan agreement with Banca Monte dei Paschi di Siena e Cassa Depositi e Prestiti (joint quotas) of a value of €60 million. The new credit line will support the Piaggio Group's investments into research and the development of innovative technological and product solutions, also in active and passive safety, and sustainability (including reductions in consumption and engine emissions), with the aim of consolidating its product ranges of scooters, motorcycles and commercial vehicles. Piaggio is therefore continuing its consolidation and growth strategy as a leader in the mobility sector, and will further consolidate the Group's financial structure.

7 August 2020 - The Piaggio Group was awarded an EU-wide contract from Poste Italiane S.p.A. for the supply of 5,000 three-wheeler scooters for postal services. The total value of the contract is over

€31 million. The vehicle to be supplied is the new Piaggio 3W- Delivery 125cc Euro 5 scooter, specifically designed and developed by the Piaggio Group for the transport and delivery needs of company fleets and standard delivery requirements. The fleet will be delivered before the end of the first half of 2021.

9 September 2020 - The International Jury of the XXVI Compasso d'Oro (Golden Compass) Award nominated the Electric Vespa for an Honourable Mention, a prestigious acknowledgement celebrating excellence in design worldwide.

30 September 2020 – Gita, the revolutionary robot, designed, developed and produced by Piaggio Fast Forward, (PFF), was given an Honourable Mention in the Innovation by Design 2020 award of the Fast Company magazine, in the "mobility" category.

TOTAL NET REVENUES	993.8	1,200.5	(206.6)

Revenues for the period were negatively affected by the COVID-19 health emergency, which led to the closure of production and commercial activities for several weeks in many countries. For further analysis of the effects of the pandemic, see the section "Health Emergency - COVID-19".

In terms of consolidated turnover, the Group closed the first nine months of 2020 with lower net revenues compared to the same period of 2019 (-17.2%). The downturn concerned India in particular (- 50.0%; -47.2% at constant exchange rates) and the EMEA and Americas markets (–8.2%).

Instead, the Asia Pacific area recorded a positive performance (+7.0%; +7.5% with constant exchange rates).

As regards product type, the decrease was greater for Commercial Vehicles (-43.2%) and more moderate for Two-Wheeler Vehicles (-6.7%). As a result, the percentage of Commercial Vehicles accounting for overall turnover went down from 28.9% in the first nine months of 2019 to the current

figure of 19.8%; vice versa, the percentage of Two-Wheeler vehicles accounting for overall turnover rose from 71.1% in the first nine months of 2019 to the current figure of 80.2%.

The Group's gross industrial margin decreased compared to the first nine months of the previous year (-21.4%), accounting for 28.8% in relation to net turnover (30.3% as of 30 September 2019). Amortisation/depreciation included in the gross industrial margin was equal to €23.3 million (€23.3 million in the first nine months of 2019).

Operating expenses were down over the same period of the previous year. The reduction was mainly due to activities being temporarily stopped in Italy and India because of the health emergency. The percentage accounting for net turnover went up from 22.0% as of 30 September 2019 to the current figure of 22.4%.

The change in the aforementioned income statement resulted in a decreased consolidated EBITDA of €150.1 million (€188.8 million in the first nine months of 2019). In relation to turnover, EBITDA was equal to 15.1% (15.7% in the first nine months of 2019).

Operating income (EBIT) amounted to €63.6 million, down on the figure for the first nine months of 2019; in relation to turnover, EBIT was equal to 6.4% (8.3% in the first nine months of 2019).

The results for financing activities improved compared to the first nine months of the previous year, despite a higher debt exposure, thanks to the reduction in borrowing costs and positive contribution from currency management, with Net Charges amounting to €15.1 million (€18.1 million as of 30 September 2019).

Income taxes for the period are estimated to be €19.4 million, equivalent to 40% of profit before tax.

Net profit stood at €29.1 million (2.9% of turnover), also down on the figure for the same period of the previous year which amounted to €46.0 million (3.8% of turnover).

All markets, apart from Asia Pacific 2W (+2.0%) posted a decrease due to COVID-19. This decline was less marked in EMEA and Americas (-6.8%), while in India the number of vehicles sold fell by 55.9%. As regards product type, sales of Commercial Vehicles fell by 55.6% and of Two-Wheelers by 11.7%.

Staff

In the first nine months of 2020, average staff numbers fell in the geographic areas most affected by the COVID emergency. Figures only went up in Vietnam, where production was never stopped. During lockdown, the Group obviously used fewer temporary staff.

Consolidated statement of financial position¹

Net working capital as of 30 September 2020, which was negative by €95.9 million, used cash for approximately €20.1 million in the first nine months of 2020.

Property, plant and equipment, which include investment property, totalled €263.3 million as of 30 September 2020, down by approximately €9.4 million compared to 31 December 2019. This decrease was mainly due to the negative effect of the devaluation of the rupee (approximately €5.9 million), depreciation that exceeded approximately €1.3 million related to investments for the period and the impact of impairment costs on investment property (approximately €1.9 million).

Intangible assets totalled €684.0 million, up by approximately €7.8 million. The imbalance between investments and amortisation for the period of approximately €9.2 million more than offset the negative effect of the devaluation of the Rupee (approximately €1.4 million).

Rights of use, equal to €34.5 million, decreased by approximately €2.0 million compared to figures as of 31 December 2019.

Financial assets which totalled €9.5 million, decreased slightly compared to figures for the previous year (€9.7 million).

Provisions totalled €64.6 million, down compared to 31 December 2019 (€65.6 million).

¹ For a definition of individual items, see the "Economic Glossary".

As fully described in the next section on the "Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows", net financial debt as of 30 September 2020 was equal to €444.8 million, compared to €429.7 million as of 31 December 2019, up by approximately €15.1 million.

Net financial debt increased by approximately €39.7 million compared to 30 September 2019.

Group shareholders' equity as of 30 September 2020 totalled €386.0 million, up by approximately €2.2 million compared to 31 December 2019.

The consolidated statement of cash flows prepared in accordance with the models provided by international financial reporting standards (IFRS) is shown in the "Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements as of 30 September 2020"; the following is a comment relating to the summary statement shown.

During the first nine months of 2020, the Piaggio Group used financial resources amounting to €15.1 million.

Cash flow from operating activities, defined as net profit, minus non-monetary costs and income, was equal to €108.9 million.

Working capital involved a cash flow of €19.6 million; in detail:

• the collection of trade receivables² used financial flows for a total of €18.7 million;
• stock management generated financial flows for a total of approximately €11.0 million;
• supplier payments used financial flows of approximately €27.8 million;
• the movement of other non-trade assets and liabilities had a positive impact on financial flows by approximately €15.9 million.

Investing activities involved a total of €88.0 million of financial resources. This change was generated by investments in development costs capitalised and in property, plant and equipment and intangible assets.

As a result of the above financial dynamics, which involved a cash flow of €15.1 million, the net debt of the Piaggio Group amounted to €–444.8 million.

Alternative non-GAAP performance measures

In accordance with CESR/05-178b recommendation on alternative performance measures, in addition to IFRS financial measures, Piaggio has included other non-IFRS measures in its Interim Directors' Report. These are presented in order to measure the trend of the Group's operations to a better extent and should not be considered as an alternative to IFRS measures.

In particular the following alternative performance measures have been used:

• EBITDA: defined as "Operating income" before the amortisation/depreciation and impairment costs of intangible assets, property, plant and equipment and rights of use, as resulting from the consolidated income statement;
• Gross industrial margin: defined as the difference between net revenues and the cost to sell;
• Cost to sell: this includes costs for materials (direct and consumables), accessory purchase costs (transport of incoming material, customs, warehousing), employee costs for direct and indirect manpower and related expenses, work carried out by third parties, energy costs, depreciation of property, plant, machinery and industrial equipment, maintenance and cleaning costs net of sundry cost recovery recharged to suppliers;
• Consolidated net debt: gross financial debt, minus cash on hand and other cash and cash equivalents, as well as other current financial receivables. Consolidated net debt does not include other financial assets and liabilities arising from the fair value measurement of financial derivatives used as hedging and otherwise, and the fair value adjustment of related hedged items and relative deferrals. The notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements include a table indicating the statement of financial position items used to determine the measure.

Two-wheelers

Two-wheeler vehicles can mainly be grouped into two product segments, scooters and motorcycles, in addition to the related spare parts and accessories business, the sale of engines to third parties, involvement in main two-wheeler sports championships and technical service.

The world two-wheeler market comprises two macro areas, which clearly differ in terms of characteristics and scale of demand: economically advanced countries (Europe, United States, Japan) and emerging nations (Asia Pacific, China, India, Latin America).

In the first macro area, which is a minority segment in terms of volumes, the Piaggio Group has a historical presence, with scooters meeting the need for mobility in urban areas and motorcycles for recreational purposes.

In the second macro area, which in terms of sales, accounts for most of the world market and is the Group's target for expanding operations, two-wheeler vehicles are the primary mode of transport.

Background

India, the most important two-wheeler market, reported a strong decrease in the first nine months of 2020, closing with sales of nearly 9.5 million vehicles, down by 33.9% compared to the first nine months of 2019.

The North American market recorded an increase compared to the same period of 2019 (+9.7%), selling 442,902 vehicles.

Europe, which is the reference area for the Piaggio Group's operations, reported a slight increase in sales on the two-wheeler market (+0.5%) compared to the first nine months of 2019 (+0.1% for the motorcycle segment and +1.0% for the scooter segment). However, the over 50cc scooter segment reported a downturn (-2.0%), while the 50cc segment posted growth (+6.4%). The 50cc motorcycle market also improved, up by 4.5%, while the over 50cc segment was down slightly (-0.1%).

Main results

Revenues for the period were negatively affected by the COVID-19 health emergency, which led to the closure of production and commercial activities for several weeks in many countries.

In the first nine months of 2020, the Piaggio Group sold a total of 284,100 two-wheeler vehicles worldwide, accounting for a net turnover equal to approximately €797.2 million, including spare parts and accessories (€89.6 million, -12.2%).

The overall downturn recorded in volumes (-11.7%) as well as turnover (-6.7%) was mainly due to the decreases reported in India (-50.1%; -41.0% turnover; -37.5% with constant exchange rates) and in EMEA and Americas (-5.0% volumes; -7.6% turnover). Only the Asia Pacific area managed to react positively (+2.0% volumes; +7.0% turnover; +7.5% with constant exchange rates).

Market positioning³

On the European market, the Piaggio Group held a 14.1% share in the first nine months of 2020, up slightly on the same period of 2019 (13.9%), confirming its leadership position in the scooter segment (24.4% in the first nine months of 2020 compared to 24.2% in the first nine months of 2019).

In Italy, the Piaggio Group had an 18.5% share (18.8% in the first nine months of 2019), which was higher for the scooter segment, at 28.5% (29.4% in the first nine months of 2019).

³ Market shares for the first nine months of 2019 might differ from figures published last year, due to final vehicle registration data, which some countries publish with a few months' delay, being updated.

In India, in the first nine months of 2020, the Group recorded a considerable drop in sell-out volumes compared to the same period of the previous year, closing at 28,135 vehicles (-46.7%).

The Group retained its strong position on the North American scooter market, where it closed the period with a market share of 27.3% (22.9% in the first nine months of 2019), and where it is committed to consolidating its profile in the motorcycle segment, through the Aprilia and Moto Guzzi brands.

The Commercial Vehicles category includes three- and four-wheelers with a maximum mass below 3.5 tons (category N1 in Europe) designed for commercial and private use, and related spare parts and accessories.

Background

Europe

In the first nine months of 2020, the European light commercial vehicles market (vehicles with a maximum mass less than or equal to 3.5 tons), in which the Piaggio Group operates, recorded sales of 1,218,056 units, a decrease compared to the first nine months of 2019, when this figure stood at 23.7% (data source ACEA). In detail, the trends of main European reference markets are as follows: France (-20.6%), Germany (-18.6%), Great Britain (-27.4%), Spain (-33.5%) and Italy (-21.7%).

India

Sales on the Indian three-wheeler market, where Piaggio Vehicles Private Limited, a subsidiary of Piaggio & C. S.p.A. operates, went down from 510,894 units in the first nine months of 2019 to 188,473 in the same period of 2020, registering a 63.1% decrease.

In this market, the downturn affected both segments: the passenger vehicle segment, with sales down by 66.9% (138,347 units sold); and the cargo segment, with a drop of 46.4%, from 93,536 units in the first nine months of 2019 to 50,126 units in the first nine months of 2020. Piaggio Vehicles Private Limited also operates on the four-wheeler light commercial vehicles (LCV) market for the transport of goods (cargo). The LCV cargo market, with vehicles with a maximum mass below 2 tons, recorded sales

of 41,058 units in the first nine months of 2020, decreasing by 70.1% compared to the first nine months of 2019.

Main results

Revenues for the period were negatively affected by the COVID-19 health emergency, which led to the closure of production and commercial activities for several weeks in many countries.

During the first nine months of 2020, the Commercial Vehicles business generated turnover of approximately €196.6 million, including around €26.9 million relating to spare parts and accessories, a 43.2% decrease compared to the same period of the previous year. During the period, 69,800 units were sold, down by 55.6% compared to the first nine months of 2019.

In EMEA and Americas, the decrease in turnover was equal to 13.4%.

In India, the Group recorded a 58.3% decrease in sales. The Indian affiliate Piaggio Vehicles Private Limited (PVPL) sold 52,655 three-wheelers on the Indian market (121,651 in the first nine months of 2019).

The same affiliate also exported 6,755 three-wheeler vehicles (20,357 as of 30 September 2019).

On the four-wheeler market, sales by the Indian affiliate PVPL in the first nine months of 2020 fell by 89.0% compared to the first nine months of 2019, to 53 units.

Market positioning⁴

The Piaggio Group operates in Europe and India on the light commercial vehicles market, with products designed for short range mobility in urban areas (European urban centres) and suburban areas (the product range for India).

On the Indian three-wheeler market, Piaggio has a market share of 27.9% (23.8% in the first nine months of 2019). Detailed analysis of the market shows that Piaggio maintained its leadership position in the goods transport segment (cargo segment) with a share of 50.3% (42.9% in the first nine months of 2019). In the Passenger segment, its share stood at 19.8% (19.5% in the first nine months of 2019).

Besides the traditional three-wheeler market in India, Piaggio also operates on the four-wheeler light commercial vehicles (LCV) market (cargo vehicles for goods transport) with the Indian Porter range. On this market, its share fell to 0.1% (0.3% in the first nine months of 2019).

⁴ Market shares for the first nine months of 2019 might differ from figures published last year, due to final vehicle registration data, which some countries publish with a few months' delay, being updated.

Events occurring after the end of the period

19 October 2020 - The European Investment Bank (EIB) and the Piaggio Group signed a 7-year, €30 million loan agreement, to support investment plan Research and Development projects that will be carried out at Piaggio Group sites before the end of 2021. The loan agreement signed with the EIB will support the development of innovative technological solutions for products and processes in the areas of active and passive safety and sustainability (including electric engines and reduced consumption in combustion engines), with the aim of consolidating the scooter, motorcycle and commercial vehicle ranges.

Operating outlook

The third quarter of 2020 ended with results higher than expectations on both European and Asian markets, and overall the results of the first nine months of 2020 confirm the Group's effective response to the pandemic that has hit the world economy.

Forecasts for the last quarter of the year are complex however, as they depend on how the COVID-19 emergency continues to unfold – with the virus spreading quickly in Europe in October – and on the government measures taken in the meantime to limit the spread and to support the economy in countries where the Group is present.

Against this backdrop, Piaggio will continue to work to meet its commitments and targets, keeping all measures in place to manage the crisis caused by the pandemic until necessary, and to respond with a flexible and immediate approach to unexpected and difficult situations that could occur in the last few months of 2020, thanks to an increasingly efficient cost structure.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

A) GENERAL ASPECTS

Piaggio & C. S.p.A. (the Company) is a joint-stock company established in Italy at the Register of Companies of Pisa. The address of the registered office is Viale Rinaldo Piaggio 25 - Pontedera (Pisa). The main activities of the company and its subsidiaries are set out in the Report on Operations.

These Financial Statements are expressed in Euros (€) since this is the currency in which most of the Group's transactions take place. Transactions in foreign currency are recorded at the exchange rate in effect on the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities in foreign currency are translated at the exchange rate in effect at the reporting date.

1. Scope of consolidation

The scope of consolidation has not changed compared to the Consolidated Financial Statements as of 31 December 2019, while it has changed compared to the Consolidated Financial Statements as of 30 September 2019 due to the liquidation of the company Piaggio Group Canada on 25 October 2019.

2. Compliance with international accounting standards

These Condensed Interim Financial Statements have been prepared in compliance with international accounting standards (IAS/IFRS), in force, issued by the International Accounting Standards Board and approved by the European Union, and in compliance with provisions established by Consob in Communication no. 6064293 of 28 July 2006. The interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee ("IFRIC"), previously the Standing Interpretations Committee ("SIC"), were also taken into account.

During the drafting of these Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial statements, prepared in compliance with IAS 34 - Interim Financial Reporting, the same accounting standards adopted in the drafting of the Consolidated Financial Statements as of 31 December 2019 were applied, with the exception of the paragraph "New accounting standards, amendments and interpretations applied as from 1 January 2020".

The information provided in the Interim Report should be read together with the Consolidated Financial Statements as of 31 December 2019, prepared according to IFRS.

The preparation of the interim financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions which have an impact on the values of revenues, costs, consolidated balance sheet assets and liabilities and on the information regarding contingent assets and liabilities at the reporting date. If these management estimates and assumptions should, in future, differ from the actual situation, they will be changed as appropriate in the period in which the circumstances change. For a more detailed description of the most significant measurement methods of the

Group, reference is made to the section "Use of estimates" of the Consolidated Financial Statements as of 31 December 2019.

It should also be noted that some assessment processes, in particular the most complex ones such as establishing any impairment of fixed assets, are generally undertaken in full only when preparing the annual financial statements, when all the potentially necessary information is available, except in cases where there are indications of impairment which require an immediate assessment of any impairment loss.

In particular, following the health emergency caused by COVID-19, the Group tested the recoverability of goodwill for impairment as of 30 June 2020. Analyses did not identify any impairment losses. No impairment indicators have been identified in the last 90 days requiring an immediate measurement of any impairment losses. Therefore no impairment cost is recognised in consolidated data.

The Group's activities, especially those regarding two-wheeler products, are subject to significant seasonal changes in sales during the year.

Income tax is recognised on the basis of the best estimate of the average weighted tax rate for the entire financial period.

New accounting standards, amendments and interpretations adopted from 1 January 2020

Amendments to IAS 1 and IAS 8

In October 2018, the IASB published some amendments to IAS 1 and IAS 8 that provide clarifications on the definition of "materiality".

Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39 and IFRS 7

In September 2019, the IASB published some amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39 and IFRS 7 with some impacts on the reform of interbank rates. The findings concern the recognition of hedging and imply that a change in the interbank rate (IBOR) should not generally cause the accounting closure of hedging operations. However, the effects of all ineffective hedging should continue to be recognised in the income statement. Given the extensive nature of hedging that involves contracts based on interbank rates, the findings will concern companies from all sectors.

Amendments to IFRS 3

In October 2018, the IASB published some amendments to IFRS 3 that amend the definition of "business".

Amendments to IFRS 16

In May 2020, the IASB published an amendment to IFRS 16, which provides a practical expedient for the evaluation of lease agreements, if lease payments are renegotiated following 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 have applied since 1 January 2020. The effects are not considered to be significant.

Accounting standards, amendments and interpretations not yet applicable

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

• In May 2017, IASB issued the new standard IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts. The new standard will replace IFRS 4 and will be effective from 1 January 2021.
• In 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 2022.
• In May 2020, the IASB published some limited-scope amendments to IFRS 3, IAS 16 and IAS 17 and some annual revisions of IFSR 1, IFRS 9, IAS 41 and IFRS 16. These amendments will apply from 1 January 2022.

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.

B) SEGMENT REPORTING

3. Operating segment reporting

The organisational structure of the Group is based on 3 Geographic Segments, involved in the production and sale of vehicles, relative spare parts and assistance in areas under their responsibility: EMEA and Americas, India and Asia Pacific 2W. Operating segments are identified by management, in line with the management and control model used.

In particular, the structure of disclosure corresponds to the structure of periodic reporting analysed by the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer for business management purposes.

Each Geographic Segment has production sites and a sales network dedicated to customers in the relative geographic segment. Specifically:

• EMEA and Americas have production sites and deal with the distribution and sale of twowheeler and commercial vehicles;
• India has production sites and deals with the distribution and sale of two-wheeler and commercial vehicles;
• Asia Pacific 2W has production sites and deals with the distribution and sale of two-wheeler vehicles.

Central structures and development activities currently dealt with by EMEA and Americas, are handled by individual segments.

C) INFORMATION ON THE CONSOLIDATED INCOME STATEMENT

As further stated in the Report on Operations, the trends of the income statement items commented on below were affected to a greater or lesser extent by the COVID-19 health emergency, which entailed the closure of production and commercial activities for several weeks in numerous countries.

4. Net revenues €/000 993,819

Revenues are shown net of premiums recognised to customers (dealers).

This item does not include transport costs, which are recharged to customers (€/000 22,667) and invoiced advertising cost recoveries (€/000 2,483), which are posted under other operating income.

The revenues for disposals of Group core business assets essentially refer to the marketing of vehicles and spare parts on European and non-European markets.

Revenues by geographic segment

The breakdown of revenues by geographic segment is shown in the following table:

	First nine months of 2020		First nine months of 2019		Changes
	Amount	%	Amount	%	Amount	%

5. Cost for materials €/000 (612,086)

Costs for materials decreased by €/000 117,204 compared to the same period of the previous year. The decrease of 16.1% is due to the 26.2% drop in vehicles sold, due mainly to the COVID emergency. The item includes €/000 13,063 (€/000 12,612 in the first nine months of 2019) for purchases of two-wheelers from the Chinese affiliate Zongshen Piaggio Foshan Motorcycle Co., that are sold on European and Asian markets.

6. Costs for services and leases and rental costs €/000 (145,843)

Costs for services and leases and rentals decreased by €/000 36,463 compared to the first nine months of 2019. The decrease refers to the activities, transfers and promotional and advertising costs affected to a greater extent by the lengthy lockdown.

The item includes costs for temporary work of €/000 976.

7. Employee costs €/000 (156,834)

Employee costs include €/000 2,149 relating to costs for redundancy plans mainly for the Pontedera and Noale production sites.

9. Other operating income €/000 87,581

10. Net reversals (impairment) of trade and other receivables

This item, mainly comprising the impairment of trade receivables in current assets, went up by €/000 276 compared to the first nine months of 2019.

11. Other operating costs €/000 (15,104)

The decrease of €/000 694 is mainly due to lower provisions for risks, only partially offset by the greater write-down of investment property, and by an increase in sundry expenses compared to the same period of the previous year.

€/000 (1,473)

12. Income/(loss) from investments €/000 797

Income from investments refers to the portion attributable to the Group of the Zongshen Piaggio Foshan Motorcycle Co. Ltd joint venture (€/000 755), and of the associate Pontech (€/000 17) measured at equity, as well as dividends from the associate Ecofor Service Pontedera (€/000 25).

13. Net financial income (borrowing costs) €/000 (15,906)

The balance of financial income (borrowing costs) for the first nine months of 2020 was negative by €/000 15,906, an improvement on the figure of the same period of the previous year (€/000 18,801), thanks to a reduction in the cost of debt and the positive contribution from currency operations, which more than offset the increase in average debt.

14. Taxes €/000 (19,416)

Income tax for the period, determined based on IAS 34, is estimated by applying a rate of 40% to profit before tax, equivalent to the best estimate of the weighted average rate predicted for the financial year.

15. Gain/(loss) from assets held for disposal or sale

At the end of the reporting period, there were no gains or losses from assets held for disposal or sale.

16. Earnings per share

D) INFORMATION ON OPERATING ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

17. Intangible assets €/000 684,001

Intangible assets went up overall by €/000 7,818 mainly due to investments for the period which were only partially balanced by amortisation for the period.

Increases mainly refer to the capitalisation of development costs for new products and new engines, as well as the purchase of software.

In the first nine months of 2020, borrowing costs for €/000 1,033 were capitalised.

The table below shows the breakdown of intangible assets as of 30 September 2020, as well as changes during the period.

20. Investment Property €/000 7,257

Investment property refers to the Spanish site of Martorelles, where production was stopped in March 2013 and relocated to Italian sites.

In thousands of Euros

Opening balance as of 1 January 2020	9,203
Fair value adjustment	(1,946)
Final balance as of 30 September 2020	7,257

During the quarter, no indicators of changes in fair value were identified, and therefore the carrying amount determined for the Half-year Financial Report as of 30 June 2020, with the assistance of a specific appraisal conducted by an independent expert, was confirmed. The expert evaluated the "Fair value less cost of disposal" using a market approach (as provided for by IFRS 13). This analysis identified the total value of the investment as €/000 7,257.

The Group uses the "fair value model" as provided for in IAS 40, thus the measurement updated during 2020 resulted in profit adjusted to fair value, equal to €/000 1,946 being recognised under other costs in the income statement for the period.

21. Deferred tax assets €/000 53,833

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised at their net value when they may be offset in the same tax jurisdiction.

As part of measurements to define deferred tax assets, the Group mainly considered the following:

• tax regulations of countries where it operates, the impact of regulations in terms of temporary differences and any tax benefits arising from the use of previous tax losses;
• taxable income expected in the medium term for each single company and the economic and tax impact. In this framework, the plans from the re-elaboration of the Piaggio Group plan approved by the Board of Directors on 24 February 2020 were used as the reference, revised following the impairment test approved on 27 July 2020. As regards Piaggio & C. SpA, which is part of the National Consolidated Tax Convention of the IMMSI Group, the recovery of deferred tax assets is related to and confirmed by company forecasts and by taxable amounts of companies that are part of the above convention, as indicated in the long-term plans approved by their respective Boards;
• the tax rate in effect in the year when temporary differences occur.

In view of these considerations, and with 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.

• a €/000 11,038 private debenture loan (nominal value of €/000 11,050), (US Private Placement) issued on 25 July 2011 for \$/000 75,000 wholly subscribed by an American institutional investor, payable in 5 annual portions from July 2017, with a semi-annual coupon. As of 30 September 2020 the fair value valuation of the debenture loan was equal to €/000 13,912 (the fair value was determined based on IFRS related to fair value hedging). A Cross Currency Swap has been taken out on this debenture loan to hedge the exchange risk and interest rate risk;
• €/000 29,940 (nominal value of €/000 30,000) for a five-year private debenture loan issued on 28 June 2017 and wholly subscribed by Fondo Sviluppo Export, the fund set up by SACE and managed by Amundi SGR. The issue has no specific rating or listing on a regulated market;
• €/000 241,852 (nominal value of €/000 250,000) related to a high-yield debenture loan issued on 30 April 2018 for a nominal amount of €/000 250,000, maturing on 30 April 2025 and with a semi-annual coupon with fixed annual nominal rate of 3.625%. Standard & Poor's and Moody's assigned a B+ rating with a negative outlook and a Ba3 rating with a negative outlook respectively for the issue.

The Company may repay in advance:

• all or part of the amount of the high yield debenture loan issued on 30 April 2018, according to the conditions indicated in the indenture. The value of prepayment options was not deducted from the original contract, as these are considered as being closely related to the host instrument, as provided for by IFRS 9 b4.3.5;
• all or part of the amount of the private placement issued on 28 June 2017, according to the conditions indicated in the contract. The value of prepayment options was not deducted from the original contract, as these are considered as being closely related to the host instrument, as provided for by IFRS 9 b4.3.5.

Financial advances received from factoring companies and banks, on the sale of trade receivables with recourse, totalled €/000 11,633.

• Medium-/long-term payables to other lenders equal to €/000 161 of which €/000 115 maturing after the year and €/000 46 as the current portion refer to a loan from the Region of Tuscany, pursuant to regulations on incentives for investments in research and development.

Covenants

In line with market practices for borrowers with a similar credit rating, main loan contracts require compliance with:

• 1) financial covenants, on the basis of which the company undertakes to comply with certain levels of contractually defined financial indices, with the most significant comprising the ratio of net financial debt/gross operating margin (EBITDA), measured on the consolidated perimeter of the Group, according to definitions agreed on with lenders;
• 2) negative pledges according to which the company may not establish collaterals 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 measurement of financial covenants and other contract commitments is monitored by the Group on an ongoing basis.

The high yield debenture loan issued by the company in April 2018 provide for compliance with covenants which are typical of international practice 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.

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.

Financial liabilities for rights of use €/000 27,352

As required by IFRS 16, financial payables for rights of use include financial lease liabilities as well as payments due on operating lease agreements.

Financial instruments

Exchange Risk

The Group operates in an international context where transactions are conducted in currencies different from the Euro. This exposes the Group to risks arising from exchange rates fluctuations. For this purpose, the 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.

As of 30 September 2020, the Group had undertaken the following futures operations (recognised based on the settlement date), related to payables and receivables already recognised to hedge the transaction exchange risk:

- the settlement exchange risk: arises from the translation into Euro of the financial statements of subsidiaries prepared in currencies other than the Euro during consolidation. The policy adopted by the Group does not require this type of exposure to be covered;

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 relative hedging is positioned exactly on the average weighted date of the economic event, recalculated based on historical criteria. The economic occurrence of future receivables and payables will occur during the budget year.

As of 30 September 2020, the Group had undertaken the following hedging transactions on the exchange risk:

Company	Operation	Currency	Amount in currency	Value in local currency (forward exchange rate)	Average maturity
			In thousands	In thousands
Piaggio & C.	Sale	GBP	2,430	2,831	09/11/2020
Piaggio & C.	Purchase	CNY	847,000	102,352	22/10/2021

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 September 2020 the total fair value of hedging instruments for the economic exchange risk recognised on a hedge accounting basis was positive by €/000 689.

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.

As of 30 September 2020, the following hedging derivatives had been taken out:

Cash flow hedging

• an Interest Rate Swap to hedge the variable-rate loan for a nominal amount of €/000 30,000 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; as of 30 September 2020, the fair value of the instrument was negative by €/000 273.

Fair value hedging derivatives (fair value hedging and fair value options)

• a Cross Currency Swap to hedge the private debenture loan issued by the Parent Company for a nominal amount of \$/000 75,000. The purpose of the instrument is to hedge both the exchange risk and interest rate risk, turning the loan from US dollars to Euro, and from a fixed rate to a variable rate; the instrument is accounted for on a fair value hedge basis, with effects arising from the measurement recognised in profit or loss. As of 30 September 2020, the fair value of the instrument was equal to €/000 2,869.

Omniaholding S.p.A.	Mantova - Italy	Final parent company	0.0773	0.0215

Piaggio & C. S.p.A. is controlled by the following companies:

Piaggio & C. S.p.A. is subject to the management and coordination of IMMSI S.p.A. pursuant to Article 2497 and subsequent of the Italian Civil Code. During the period, management and coordination comprised the following activities:

• as regards mandatory financial disclosure, and in particular the financial statements and reports on operations of the Group, IMMSI has produced a group manual containing the accounting standards adopted and options chosen for implementation, in order to give a consistent and fair view of the consolidated financial statements.

• IMMSI has defined procedures and times for preparing the budget and in general the business plan of Group companies, as well as final management analysis to support management control activities.
• IMMSI has also provided services for the development and management of assets, with a view to optimising resources within the Group, and provided property consultancy services and other administrative services.
• IMMSI has provided consultancy services and assistance concerning extraordinary financing operations, organisation, strategy and coordination, as well as services intended to optimise the financial structure of the Group.

In 2019, for a further three years, the Parent Company⁵ signed up to the National Consolidated Tax Mechanism pursuant to Articles 117 to 129 of the Consolidated Income Tax Act (T.U.I.R.) of which IMMSI S.p.A. is the consolidating company, and to whom other IMMSI Group companies report to. The consolidating company determines a single global income equal to the algebraic sum of taxable amounts (income or loss) realised by individual companies that opt for this type of group taxation.

The consolidating company recognises a receivable from the consolidated company which is equal to the corporate tax to be paid on the taxable income transferred by the latter. Whereas, in the case of companies reporting tax losses, the consolidating company recognises a payable related to corporate tax on the portion of loss actually used to determine global overall income, or calculated as a decrease of overall income for subsequent tax periods, according to the procedures in article 84, based on the criterion established by the consolidation agreement.

Under the National Consolidated Tax Mechanism, companies may, pursuant to article 96 of Presidential Decree no. 917/86, allocate the excess of interest payable which is not deductible to one of the companies so that, up to the excess of Gross Operating Income produced in the same tax period by other subjects party to the consolidation, the amount may be used to reduce the total income of the Group.

Piaggio & C. S.p.A. has two office lease agreements with IMMSI, one for property in Via Broletto 13 in Milan, and the other for property in Via Abruzzi 25 in Rome. A part of the property in Via Broletto 13 in Milan is sub-leased by Piaggio & C. S.p.A. to Piaggio Concept Store Mantova Srl.

Piaggio & C. S.p.A. has undertaken a rental agreement for offices owned by Omniaholding S.p.A.. This agreement, signed in normal market conditions, was previously approved by the Related Parties Transactions Committee, as provided for by the procedure for transactions with related parties adopted by the Company.

⁵ Aprilia Racing and Piaggio Concept Store Mantova were also party to the national consolidated tax convention, of which IMMSI S.p.A. is the consolidating company.

Piaggio Concept Store Mantova Srl has a lease contract for its sales premises and workshop with Omniaholding S.p.A.. This agreement was signed in normal market conditions.

Pursuant to article 2.6.2, section 13 of the Regulation of Stock Markets organised and managed by Borsa Italiana S.p.A., the conditions as of article 37 of Consob regulation no. 16191/2007 exist.
