Notes to the Income Statement for 1H 2020
Consolidated Revenue figures
As of 30 June 2020 the Salvatore Ferragamo Group reported Total Revenues of 377 million Euros down 46.6% at current exchange rates (-46.9% at constant exchange rates2) vs. the 705 million Euros recorded in 1H 2019. Revenues in 2Q 2020 registered a 60.1% decrease at current exchange rates (-59.4% at constant exchange rates2).
The drop in Revenues has been determined by the rapid diffusion of the pandemic caused by a novel coronavirus, known as Covid-19 and the consequent decisions taken by the National governments regarding prohibitions and lock-downs of the commercial activities and of the international traffic, brought to the closure of the majority of the Group's store network in those countries and to a significant reduction in traffic in the remaining stores, in the period.
Revenues by distribution channel3
As of 30 June 2020, the Group's Retail network counted on a total of 643 points of sales, including 389 Directly Operated Stores (DOS) and 254 Third Party Operated Stores (TPOS) in the Wholesale and Travel Retail channel, as well as the presence in Department Stores and high-level multi-brand Specialty Stores.
In 1H 2020 the Retail distribution channel posted consolidated Revenues down 41.0% (-41.1% at constant exchange rates2), with a decrease of 41.0% at constant exchange rates2 and perimeter (like-for-like) vs. 1H 2019, with the primary and secondary channel posting a similar performance. In 2Q 2020 Retail Revenues decreased 51.2% (-50.7% at constant exchange rates2), with a -51.0% like-for-like performance.
The Wholesale channel registered a decrease in Revenues of 56.4% (-56.8% at constant exchange rates2) vs. 1H 2019 mainly penalized by the performance of the Travel Retail channel and of Fragrances.
In 2Q 2020 Wholesale Revenues were down 75.7% (-74.4% at constant exchange rates2).
Revenues by geographical area3
The Asia Pacific area is confirmed as the Group's top market, reaching over 44% of total Revenues, decreasing by 39.9% (-39.1% at constant exchange rates2) vs. 1H 2019.
The 2Q 2020 performance in the area (-35.3% at constant exchange rates2), recovering vs. the previous quarter, benefitted from the positive performance of the retail channel in China, which recorded a Revenue growth of 11.6% at constant exchange rates2. A similar growth trend has been registered, in 2Q 202, in the retail channel in South Korea, that reported a positive performance in 1H 2020.

The Japanese market registered a 37.4% decrease in Revenues (-39.3% at constant exchange rates2) in 1H 2020, with 2Q 2020 down 56.1% (-58.4% at constant exchange rates2) strongly penalized by the stores closures in the period.
Overall the Asian continent represents over 54% of total Group's revenues.
EMEA posted, in 1H 2020, a decrease in Revenues of 51.7% (-51.2% at constant exchange rates2), with 2Q 2020 (-71.9% at constant exchange rates2) strongly penalized by the stores closures and the lack of tourists' flows in the period.
North America recorded a Revenue decrease of 54.4% (-57.8% at constant exchange rates2) in 1H 2020, with 2Q 2020 down 81.1% (-83.2% at constant exchange rates2) strongly penalized by the stores closures in the period, due to the lock-down measures and in lower extent to the social protests.
Revenues in the Central and South America in 1H 2020 were down 54.6%, (-50.1% at constant exchange rates2), with 2Q 2020 down 89.2% (-83.1% at constant exchange rates2) strongly penalized by the stores closures in the period.
Revenues by product category3
All product categories, at constant exchange rates2, reported a decrease in 1H 2020 vs. the same period of last year. The Fragrances division registered a decrease in Revenues of 66.6% vs. 1H 2019, also due to the postponement of the launch of new products as a consequence of the lockdown measures in the global markets.
Gross Profit

Its incidence on Revenues was down 480 basis points, moving to 60.0%, from 64.8% of 1H 2019, mainly penalized in 2Q 2020 by lower Primary Full price weight, due to the mandatory closures of the store network for the Covid-19 pandemic for the majority of the full-price season, and by the increase in provisions for obsolescence.

Covid-19 Update
At the end of 2019, a new coronavirus, known as Covid-19, was found in Wuhan, China. The Covid-19 Coronavirus has spread gradually from China into the rest of the world—to the point that on 11 March 2020 the World Health Organization declared a pandemic due to the speed and extent of the epidemic. In order to contain the outbreak and protect public health, several Governments around the world, starting with the Chinese one, have gradually put in place containment and social distancing measures, shutting down non-essential retail and manufacturing operations as well as limiting international and domestic travel.
These events significantly impacted the various business areas of the Salvatore Ferragamo Group, causing both revenues and margins to decline.
In the Retail channel, sales were affected by the mandatory closure of directly operated stores and other government restrictions on the movement of people and tourist flows (so-called lockdown) and, as far as North America is concerned, the closures caused by the unrest associated with racial protests.
Wholesale stores were also affected by the closures ordered by the various Governments as well as restrictions on the movement of people and tourist flows (so-called lockdown), which caused revenues to fall considerably also within this distribution channel.
Against this backdrop, the Group saw a 46.6% drop in revenues at current exchange rates and, therefore, a deterioration in its margins and financial performance.
In terms of logistics, the Group was forced to shut down the Sesto Fiorentino hub, which supplies markets all around the world and ships e-commerce orders in Europe. As for production operations, the Group has partially cancelled and planned again the production orders for following collections, based on changed market condition and new business forecasts. .
In the first half of 2020, the Group incurred direct costs to address this emergency, and specifically the expenses associated with the measures taken to protect the health of employees at both offices and directly operated stores: it also received, where possible, government grants and subsidies, such as the different kinds of aid aimed at supporting employment.
In addition, the Group started important negotiations to reduce operating costs, especially with lessors, in order to revise the terms and conditions of the leases of its distribution network, resulting in an 11,226 thousand Euro positive variable lease payment in the first half of 2020.
In addition, it wrote down inventories, net of uses, by 24,146 thousand Euro, mainly to account for the potential risk of a future reduction in the sales of certain products—also because of the current situation. The provision for bad debt, to which the Group had allocated 3,058 thousand Euro in the first half of 2020, was adjusted in accordance with the risk assessments relating to the current situation. Specifically, in order to bolster its financial structure and soundness, the Group has seen it fit to increase the amount of committed lines outstanding with diversified banking counterparties, promptly applying for further short and medium/long term lines.
Impairment test
The Covid-19 emergency qualifies as an impairment indicator, therefore the Group took it into consideration when making estimates and assumptions.
The impairment test resulted in a 9,309 thousand Euro impairment loss, including 8,037 thousand Euro relating to Property, plant and equipment and 1,272 thousand Euro to Intangible assets with a finite useful life.

Executive Committee
On 6 April 2020, the Board of Directors, having confirmed all the powers previously granted to the Chairman and Managing Director upon their appointment, established an Executive Committee within the Board, vesting it with the powers to monitor, oversee and support the implementation of the initiatives launched by the Company to address the emergency caused by the Covid-19 pandemic. The Executive Committee will remain in office until the end of this extraordinary situation. The original members of the Committee were the Director Ferruccio Ferragamo (Committee Chairman), the Managing Director Micaela le Divelec Lemmi, and the Directors Francesco Caretti, Diego Paternò Castello di San Giuliano, and Marzio Alessandro Alberto Saà. On 27 May 2020, the Company's Board of Directors appointed the Director Michele Norsa to the Executive Committee in place of Mr Ferruccio Ferragamo, electing him also as Chairman of said Committee.
Costs and investments
The Group continues investing in the e-commerce channel and launched the new website at the end of April. Some projects and investments considered non-priority or deferrable have been postponed.
Personnel
In the first half of 2020, in response to the Covid-19 pandemic, human resource management heavily focused on measures to protect the health of employees at both offices and directly operated stores. In this regard, it has defined specific safety protocols that include stringent safety measures and, finally, put in place a supplemental health insurance policy for Italian employees covering symptoms associated with Covid-19. Where allowed by law, the company offered free and voluntary antibody testing.
During this period, the Group began the process to apply for state aid in the various countries in which it operates, where available, and that have had a positive outcome. Moreover, Group management has voluntary decided to reduce part of its compensation for 2020
Starting from February, in order to protect the health of employees, Salvatore Ferragamo has extended the use of smart-working, introduced as an experiment during 2019, to the Italian and international offices of the Group, allowing operations to continue where possible and in line with regulatory requirements. It has provided training to optimize the use of remote work tools and bolstered internal communication by leveraging the "Ferragamo Together" platform and creating accounts dedicated to answering all health- and business-related questions of the Group's employees.
As for organizational development and personnel training, in the first six months of 2020 the Group launched the "Ilearn" platform with digital contents for both retail and office staff.
Directors' Fees
Considering the Covid-19 pandemic and its impact on the business, some Directors notified Salvatore Ferragamo S.p.A. that they would forgo all or part of their remuneration for the current year.
Dividend
In order to support the financial soundness of the Group and maintain relevant investment capability for the future, the Shareholders' Meeting held on 8 May 2020 approved the separate financial statements of Salvatore Ferragamo S.p.A. and the allocation of all profits to the

extraordinary reserve, as proposed in the resolution passed on 6 April 2020 by the Board of Directors.
****
The Management of the Company confirms the medium-long term goals, continuing to pursue the reinforcement of the competitive positioning of the Salvatore Ferragamo Group among the leaders in the luxury market. The market scenario, gradually improving, underpins the uncertainty in predicting the resolution times of the negative effects triggered by the Covid-19 pandemic and therefore the Management of the Company does not deem to provide detailed forecasts regarding the performance in the various markets and distribution channels for the current year, thus confirming its commitment to reduce costs in order to limit the impact of the unfavorable dynamics of the current period.

Notes to the press release
1 We define EBITDA as operating profit before amortization and depreciation and write-downs of tangible/intangible assets and Right of use assets. EBITDA is an important managerial indicator for measuring the Group's performance. As EBITDA is not an indicator defined by the accounting principles used by our Group, our method of calculating EBITDA may not be strictly comparable to that used by other companies.
2 Revenues/Operating Costs at "constant exchange rates" are calculated by applying to the Revenue/Operating Costs of the period 2019, not including the "hedging effect", the average exchange rates of the same period 2020.
3 The variations in Revenues are calculated at current exchange rates including the hedging effect, unless differently indicated.
4 Net working capital is calculated (in accordance with CESR Recommendation 05-054/b of February 10, 2005) as inventories, right of return assets and trade receivables net of trade payables and refund liabilities, excluding other current assets and liabilities and other financial assets and liabilities. As net working capital is not an indicator defined by the accounting principles used by our Group, our method of calculating net working capital may not be strictly comparable to that used by other companies.
5 Adjusted: not including the IFRS16 effect.

The manager charged to prepare the corporate accounting documents, Alessandro Corsi, pursuant to article 154-bis, paragraph 2, of Legislative Decree no. 58/1998 (Consolidated Financial Law), hereby declares that the information contained in this Press Release faithfully represents the content of documents, financial books and accounting records.
****
Furthermore, in addition to the conventional financial indicators required by IFRS, this Press Release includes some alternative performance indicators (such as EBITDA, for example) in order to allow for a better assessment of the performance of the economic and financial management. These indicators have been calculated according to the usual market practices.
This document may contain forecasts, relating to future events and operating results, which by their very nature are uncertain, in that they depend on future events and developments that cannot be predicted with certainty. Actual results may therefore differ with those forecasted, due to a variety of factors.

EBITDA so defined is a parameter used by the management to monitor and assess the operating performance and is not identified as an accounting measurement under IFRS and, therefore, must not be considered as an alternative measurement to assess Group performance. Since the composition of EBITDA is not regulated by reference accounting standards, the determination criterion applied by the Group may differ from that adopted by others and therefore may not be comparable.
