1 2015 adjusted economic results do not include non-recurring items for a total of Euro 60.5 million related to commercial restructuring costs in the EMEA region for Euro 1.2 million, other non-recurring costs for Euro 1.8 million mainly related to the consolidation of the Group's North American distribution network into its Denver facility, Euro 40.5 million for an impairment of the Group's goodwill, and Euro 17.0 million for a provision for other risks and charges in relation to the litigation with the French Competition Authority.

Safilo's French subsidiary (Safilo France S.A.R.L.) together with other major competitors and a number of leading retailers in the French eyewear industry, has starting from 2009 been the subject of an investigation conducted by the French Competition Authority (''FCA'') relating to pricing and sales practices in the industry.

In May 2015, Safilo France S.A.R.L. and Safilo S.p.A. in its capacity of parent-company received a Statement of Objections from the FCA. Safilo has examined the FCA's preliminary findings reported in the Statement of Objections and has recently reached an agreement with the FCA limiting the Group's liability at Euro 17 million. Consequently, a provision of Euro 17 million has been booked by the Group as the best estimate for the expected liability. The Group currently expects to receive the final investigation report and the fine, from the FCA by the end of 2016.

As part of its annual goodwill impairment test, the Group has decided to book an impairment of Euro 40.5 million of its historic goodwill. Two of its three cash-generating units (Americas and EMEA) continue to show a fair market value significantly ahead of book value. The Far East CGU's business contraction in 2015, coupled with an increase in the book value driven by foreign exchange (Euro +22.5 million) and a more uncertain economic outlook in the region going forward, required an impairment of the goodwill allocated to this CGU in the magnitude of Euro 40.5 million.

In 2014 adjusted economic results did not include non-recurring expenses for a total of Euro 7.7 million.
