Revenues by geographical area3

The Asia Pacific area is confirmed as the Group's top market in terms of Revenues, up by 35.2% (+34.0% at constant exchange rates2) vs. 1H 2020.

****

The market scenario remains volatile, as a consequence of the pandemic, albeit in a phase of gradual normalization. Therefore the Management of the Company does not deem to provide detailed forecasts regarding the expected performance for the current year, while the improvement in the most important markets in terms of contribution is confirmed.

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 2020, not including the "hedging effect", the average exchange rates of the same period 2021.

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 Net financial debt/(surplus) is calculated as the sum of Current and non current interest-bearing loans and borrowings plus Current and non current Lease Liabilities and Other current and non current financial liabilities including the negative fair value of derivatives (non-hedge component), net of Cash and cash equivalents and Other current financial assets, including the positive fair value of derivatives (non-hedge component).

****

Today the Board of Directors of the Company has granted all powers of ordinary administration to the Executive Vice Chairman Michele Norsa who, as already anticipated in previous communications to the market, will take responsibility for the company management as of September 8, 2021, following the termination of the current CEO Micaela le Divelec Lemmi's office.

Following the resignation, as communicated to the market, of the CEO Micaela le Divelec Lemmi, effective as of today, and of the Independent Director and Chairwoman of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee, Marinella Soldi, the Board resolved to postpone to a next meeting the cooptation of new Directors replacing those resigning in order to complete the selection process, also taking into account the need to comply with the provisions contained in the Articles of Association and applicable laws on gender diversity.

(**) Adjusted Operating profit is the Operating profit gross of the impairment losses, as per IAS 36, on Property, plant and equipment and Intangible assets with definitive useful life, because of the effects of Covid-19 pandemic.
