Notes to the presentation

1 In Q1 2018, the adjusted EBITDA excludes non-recurring costs for Euro 1.7 million, mainly related to the CEO succession plan, and it includes an income of Euro 9.8 million, as pro-rata portion of the accounting compensation for the early termination of the Gucci license, equal to Euro 39 million for the full year 2018.

In Q1 2017, the adjusted EBITDA excluded non-recurring costs for Euro 3.3 million, mainly related to the reorganization of the Ormoz plant in Slovenia and other overhead cost saving initiatives, and it included an income of Euro 10.8 million, as pro-rata portion of the accounting compensation for the early termination of the Gucci license, equal to Euro 43 million for the full year 2017.

2 The new accounting standard IFRS 15 regarding "Revenue from contracts with customers" entered into effect starting from 1 January 2018. Following the fully retrospective approach chosen by the Group, the first application of the principle to the first quarter of 2018, had an adjustment effect on the sales and cost of goods sold of the first quarter of 2017 equal to Euro 2.7 million, with a neutral effect on the gross profit. Consequently, Q1 2017 total net sales were adjusted to Euro 234.6 million (compared to Euro 237.3 million reported last year), while gross profit remained equal to Euro 116.8 million.
