REPORT ON OPERATIONS

INTRODUCTION

This periodic financial information as at 30 September 2021 (hereinafter "Periodic Financial Information as at 30 September 2021") was approved by the Board of Directors of the Company on 4 November 2021 and has not been audited, as it is not required by current regulations. Sanlorenzo S.p.A., as company listed on Euronext STAR Milan segment of the Italian Stock Exchange, is subject to the provisions of Article 2.2.3 of the Stock Exchange Regulations. On the basis of such regulations, the Company has prepared the Periodic Financial Information as at 30 September 2021, which it makes available to the public.

This report on operations must be read together with the condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes.

GROUP ACTIVITIES

The Group is a global operator specialised in the design, production and sale of custom-made yachts, superyachts and sport utility yachts, which are fitted out and customised according to the requests and desires of an exclusive clientele, as well as in providing dedicated services to its clients.

Sanlorenzo is the only company in the sector operating under a single brand, both in the market for yachts between 24 and 38 metres long, where it has operated since its foundation in 1958, and in the market for metal superyachts of more than 40 metres in length.

The uniqueness of the product, the constant innovation of yacht design, in respect of Sanlorenzo's tradition, customer loyalty, collaborations with world-renowned designers, communication and the connection with art and culture saw the Group solidify its foothold in the luxury yachting market, which recognises Sanlorenzo brand as epitome of excellence and exclusivity.

The business model is based on the construction of a limited number of yachts per year, taking care of every detail and availing of the collaboration of a supply chain of more than 1,500 highly qualified craft companies, mostly located in the Alto Tirreno nautical district, with whom the Group has long-established relations.

Also thanks to the operational execution delegated to highly experienced and skilled craft companies, the Group can focus on the higher value-added phases, connected with direct interaction with the customer and targeted at creating new innovative and sustainable products, brand development and quality control.

Group activities are divided into three production divisions:

  • Yacht Division, dedicated to the design, manufacturing and marketing of composite yachts between 24 and 38 metres long, under the Sanlorenzo brand;
  • Superyacht Division, dedicated to the design, manufacturing and marketing of superyachts in aluminium and steel between 40 and 72 metres long, under the Sanlorenzo brand;
  • Bluegame Division, dedicated to the design, manufacturing and marketing of composite sport utility yachts between 13 and 23 metres long, under the Bluegame brand.

Sanlorenzo's production is carried out in four shipyards located in La Spezia, Ameglia (SP), Viareggio (LU) and Massa. The sites operate within a 50km radius, within the nautical district sandwiched between the Apuan Alps and the Tyrrhenian Sea, between the northern Tuscan coast and the eastern Ligurian coast.

The sale of yachts is carried out both directly (through Sanlorenzo, other Group companies or intermediaries) and through brand representatives, each of which operates in one or more assigned regional zones.

In addition, through the High-End Services division, established in 2020, the Group offers an exclusive range of dedicated services to Sanlorenzo and Bluegame clients, such as tailor-made leasing and financing, a monobrand charter programme (Sanlorenzo Charter Fleet), maintenance, refit and restyling services (Sanlorenzo Timeless) and crew training at the Sanlorenzo Academy.

MAIN ALTERNATIVE PERFORMANCE INDICATORS

In order to allow a better evaluation of its operating performance, Sanlorenzo Group uses some alternative performance indicators.

The indicators represented are not identified as accounting measures by the IFRS and, therefore, must not be considered alternative measures to those provided by the financial statements for assessing the Group's economic performance and the relevant financial position. The Group believes that the financial information reported below is an important additional parameter for evaluating its performance, allowing its economic and financial performance to be monitored in more detail. Since these financial data do not constitute measures that can be determined through the reference accounting standards for the preparation of the consolidated financial statements, the method applied for the associated calculation may not be consistent with the one adopted by other groups and, therefore these data may not be comparable with those presented by said groups.

These alternative performance indicators, calculated in compliance with the Guidelines on Alternative Performance Indicators issued by ESMA/2015/1415 and adopted by Consob in its communication no. 92543 of 3 December 2015, refer solely to the performance of the period forming the object of this financial report and the periods being compared and not to the Group's expected performance.

The alternative performance indicators used in this financial report are outlined below:

  • Backlog: is calculated as the sum of the value of the orders and sales contracts signed with customers or brand representatives relating to yachts for delivery or delivered in the current financial year or for delivery in subsequent financial years. For each year, the value of the orders and contracts included in the backlog refers to the relative share of the residual value from 1 January of the year in question until the delivery date. The backlog relating to yachts delivered during the year is conventionally cleared on 31 December;
  • Value of production: calculated as the algebraic sum of the revenues from contracts with customers net of the commissions paid, the change in inventories of work in progress, semi-finished and finished products, other income and capitalised costs of own work;
  • Net Revenues New Yachts: calculated as the algebraic sum of revenues from contracts with customers relating to new yachts net of commissions. In accordance with IFRS standards, the selling price of new yachts and, therefore, also the calculation of the associated revenues includes the difference between the value attributed contractually to the pre-owned boats traded in and their fair value;
  • EBITDA: the Operating result (EBIT) before amortisation/depreciation;
  • EBITDA margin: the ratio between EBITDA and Net Revenues New Yachts;
  • Adjusted EBITDA: the Operating result (EBIT) before amortisation/depreciation adjusted for non-recurring items;
  • Adjusted EBITDA margin: the ratio between Adjusted EBITDA and Net Revenues New Yachts;
  • Net fixed capital: calculated as the sum of goodwill, intangible assets with a finite useful life, property, plant and equipment and net deferred tax assets, net of the corresponding non-current provisions;
  • Net working capital: calculated as the sum of trade receivables, contract assets, inventories and other current assets, net of trade payables, contract liabilities, current provisions for risks and charges and other current liabilities;
  • Net trade working capital: calculated as the sum of trade receivables, contract assets and inventories, net of trade payables and contract liabilities;
  • Net invested capital: calculated as the sum of net fixed capital and net working capital;
  • Investments: increases in property, plant and equipment and intangible assets with a finite useful life;
  • Net financial position: calculated as defined by the new Guidelines issued by ESMA and reported in ESMA document 32-382-1138 of 4 March 2021 (Consob Warning Notice no. 5/21 for Consob Communication DEM/6064293, 28 July 2006), as the sum of liquidity (including cash equivalents and other current financial assets), net of current and non-current financial indebtedness, including the fair value of hedging derivatives. If positive, it indicates a net cash position.

The gross backlog as at 30 September 2021 was equal to €1,191,876 thousand, against €670,218 thousand as at 30 September 2020. The increase on the same date of 2020 was equal to €521,658 thousand.

Of which subsequent years 39,823 169,246 308,472 517,541

The order intake in the first nine months of 2021 was equal to €783,115 thousand, of which €381,136 thousand in the third quarter. The excellent result, which saw the backlog in strong increase during 2021, is related to a very robust market growth, a trend started in the last months of 2020 that has gradually involved all segments of the Group, first of all the Yacht Division. In particular, the backlog increase during the third quarter was led by the extraordinary performance of the Superyacht Division.

Extremely positive has been the outcome of the three boat shows that were held in September (Cannes Yachting Festival, Genoa Boat Show and Monaco Yacht Show), which have seen the start of numerous commercial negotiations, partially already closed with the signing of sales contracts, regarding in particular the recently launched products (SL90 Asymmetric, SL120 Asymmetric, SD118 for the Yacht Division and BG72 for Bluegame) and the new X-Space range of the Superyacht Division which will be presented in 2022. Thanks to the high-end positioning of the brand, the Group was also able to increase the average selling prices, starting from the sales made in the third quarter.

The amount of the gross backlog for the current year, equal to €570,646 thousand, involves high visibility on the expected 2021 revenues. The visibility on revenues of subsequent years is also significant and amounted to €621,230 thousand, fostered by an increased incidence of larger yachts in all divisions, with delivery dates until 2024.

Value of production 481,583 394,264 87,319 +22.1%

The value of production in the first nine months of 2021 was equal to €481,583 thousand, with a 22.1% increase on the same period in 2020, mainly thanks to the growth in revenues, both from new yachts and pre-owned boats. The decrease of change in inventories of work in progress, semi-finished and finished products, equal to €43,362 thousand compared to the same period of 2020, was due to the reduction in inventories of pre-owned boats and work in progress products as a result of the increase in sales to end customers during the period.

Net Revenues New Yachts

(€'000) Nine months ended 30 September Change
2021 2020 2021 vs. 2020 2021 vs. 2020%
Revenue from contracts with customers (New Yachts) 442,142 335,642 106,500 +31.7%
Commissions (New Yachts) (13,702) (13,019) (683) +5.2%
Net Revenues New Yachts 428,440 322,623 105,817 +32.8%

Net Revenues New Yachts in the first nine months of 2021 were equal to €428,440 thousand, a 32.8% increase on the €322,623 thousand recorded in the same period of 2020. Net Revenues New Yachts increased in all divisions and geographic areas, led by the excellent performance in the Americas and Europe.

In a context of strong market acceleration, this performance is a result of both a rise in volumes due to the high collection of new orders and an increase in average selling prices, specifically for superyachts, with a product mix that has an increased incidence of larger yachts in all divisions.

Net Revenues New Yachts 428,440 100.0% 322,623 100.0% 105,817 +32.8%

The Yacht Division generated Net Revenues New Yachts of €263,328 thousand, accounting for 61.5% of the total, a 30.0% increase on the first nine months of 2020. The excellent sales performance concerned all product ranges, and in particular the SX line (with the SX112 model introduced in 2020), the SD line (with the new SD118 model presented at the Cannes Yachting Festival) and the SL line (with the asymmetrical models).

The Superyacht Division generated Net Revenues New Yachts of €133,241 thousand, accounting for 31.1% of the total, a 33.5% increase on the nine months of 2020, driven by the Steel Line and the new X-Space Line, which was extremely well received even before its launch, expected in 2022.

The Bluegame Division generated Net Revenues New Yachts of €31,871 thousand, accounting for 7.4% of the total, up by 57.6% compared to the first nine months of 2020, thanks in particular to the results of the BGX line, with the introduction of the second model BGX60, launched in 2020, and the first sales of the new BG72 model, recently presented at the Cannes Yachting Festival.

Net Revenues New Yachts 428,440 100.0% 322,623 100.0% 105,817 +32.8%

Europe recorded Net Revenues New Yachts equal to €224,318 thousand (of which €44,168 thousand generated in Italy), accounting for 52.3% of the total, up by 20.5% on the first nine months of 2020, with the highest increases in Russia, Germany and Italy.

The Americas recorded Net Revenues New Yachts equal to €102,692 thousand, accounting for 24.0% of the total, up by 120.7% compared to the first nine months of 2020, with excellent results in the United States.

The APAC area recorded Net Revenues New Yachts equal to €70,590 thousand, accounting for 16.5% of the total, a 17.4% increase on the first nine months of 2020, driven by sales in Hong Kong.

The increase in revenues in APAC and in the Americas, markets that are strategic for the Group's growth, also through the acquisition of new customers, continued in line with the strong acceleration in sales in these areas started in the second half of 2020.

The MEA area recorded Net Revenues New Yachts equal to €30,840 thousand, accounting for 7.2% of the total, a slight increase compared to the first nine months of 2020.

EBIT was equal to €52,123 thousand, up by 57.4% on the first nine months of 2020, with an incidence of 12.2% on Net Revenues New Yachts.

Amortisation/depreciation, equal to €15,826 thousand, rose by 10.6% on the first nine months of 2020, as a result of the coming on stream of major investments made to develop new products and to increase production capacity. EBITDA stood at €67,949 thousand, up by 43.3% on the first nine months of 2020, with an incidence of 15.9% on Net Revenues New Yachts.

EBITDA adjusted for non-recurring components of €690 thousand, consisting of non-monetary costs for the 2020 Stock Option Plan and expenses incurred for COVID-19, was equal to €68.639 thousand, up by 41.5% on the first nine months of 2020, with an incidence of 16.0% on Net Revenues New Yachts, increasing by one percentage point compared to the same period of 2020.

The significant and constant increase in operating profits is due to the efficiencies generated by the optimisation of the new production capacity and the resultant greater absorption of fixed costs.

Profitability also benefited from the shift in product mix towards larger yachts in all divisions and from the increase in average selling prices, which offset the increase in raw material costs.

SIGNIFICANT EVENTS OCCURRING DURING THE QUARTER

Acquisition of Viareggio Superyachts business unit

On 8 July 2021, PN VSY S.r.l., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sanlorenzo S.p.A., completed the acquisition of the Viareggio Superyachts S.r.l. business unit in liquidation, including a building located in Viareggio near the Sanlorenzo shipyards, as well as plants and equipment, for a value of approximately €4.8 million (net of transaction costs). The building, with a production area of approximately 3,000 square metres, is used for the fitting out of metal superyachts, notably of the new X-Space line.

Exclusive partnership with Siemens Energy for the development of technological solutions to reduce the environmental impact of the yachts

On 6 September 2021, Sanlorenzo has announced the signing with Siemens Energy of an exclusive partnership for the joint development of solutions for the integration of fuel cell technology in the yachting sector from 24 to 80 metres and two contracts for the development and the purchase of new generation diesel electric and hybrid systems.

The agreement will enable the creation of new technologies aimed at significantly reducing the impact of yacht usage on the marine ecosystem.

The collaboration will be implemented in three areas:

  • methanol fuel cell systems for generating electricity on board, which allow the vessel to generate electricity when the engines and generators are off, significantly extending the time spent at anchor and manoeuvring without consuming diesel fuel. The first prototype will be installed on a 50 metres Sanlorenzo hybrid superyacht currently in advanced design, whose delivery is expected in 2024;
  • new-generation diesel electric propulsion systems aimed at reducing GHG emissions and fuel consumption, with a significant evolution in terms of energy efficiency and reduction of overall dimensions, intended for application on yacht models over 50 metres. The first signed order covers the application on three Sanlorenzo units from 50 to 70 metres;
  • new-generation hybrid propulsion systems designed to reduce GHG emissions and fuel consumption, with a significant optimisation in terms of size, costs and ease of use, intended for use on yachts below 50 metres. The first signed order is for implementation on the new SD90S model which will see the light during 2022.

Award of tender for the acquisition of a warehouse facility in La Spezia

On 22 July 2021, Sanlorenzo was the winner of an auction for a property complex of approximately 7,000 square metres located in La Spezia adjacent to the Company's shipyards, to be used as a warehouse due to the increased production needs of the Superyacht Division. The purchase and payment of the price, equal to approximately €1.5 million (net of transaction costs), were completed on 17 September 2021.

Partnership with Crédit Agricole Leasing Italia for the lease purchase of yachts

On 20 September 2021, Sanlorenzo and Crédit Agricole Leasing Italia announced the terms of an important partnership thanks to which Sanlorenzo will recommend Crédit Agricole Leasing Italia as partner for the lease purchase of yachts and superyachts to its European clients, providing them a tailor-made service and dedicated conditions.

Such partnership is part of the enhancement of High-End Services, a division entirely focused on the proposal of a 360° package of services, to which only Sanlorenzo clients have access: tailor-made leasing/financing packages,

Sanlorenzo Charter Fleet, Sanlorenzo Timeless (refit and restyling services) and crew training at the Sanlorenzo Academy.

Acquisition of a facility in Massa

On 17 May 2021, in the context of an arrangement with creditors, Sanlorenzo was the winner of an auction for the acquisition of an industrial facility located in Massa, near the Company's shipyards, consisting of two warehouses for a total area of approximately 15,000 square metres, an office building and outdoor areas for around 11,000 square metres, at a total price of around €11.6 million (net of transaction costs). The facility, whose purchase was completed on 30 September 2021, will be used for the production of semi-finished composite products in the first months of 2022, following certain revamping works.

SIGNIFICANT EVENTS AFTER THE CLOSE OF THE PERIOD

Auctions for the acquisition of Perini Navi assets

On 15 February 2021, Ferretti Group and Sanlorenzo announced their intention to create a NewCo based on a 50:50 joint venture, in order to present an offer to acquire Perini Navi, declared bankrupt by the Court of Lucca on 29 January 2021. The company - Restart S.p.A. - was established on 28 April 2021 to take part in the auction for the sale of certain assets of Perini Navi, called following the confirmation on 30 April 2021 of the bankruptcy of the company by the Court of Appeal of Florence and the subsequent awarding of the shipyard in Turkey.

The first auction, held on 30 July 2021, concerning the two shipyards in Viareggio and La Spezia, the Perini brand, a yacht under construction and other assets, had a total starting price of €62.5 million. The second auction, held on 30 September 2021, had a total starting price of €56.25 million, with the possibility to submit bids with a 5% reduction of the starting price.

Based on the results of the assessments carried out, while reconfirming the interest in Perini Navi, Ferretti Group and Sanlorenzo decided not to take part in these auctions, for which no bids were submitted.

On 26 October 2021, Ferretti Group and Sanlorenzo, through Restart S.p.A., presented to the official receiver of the Tribunal of Lucca an irrevocable proposal for the acquisition of the entire corporate complex of Perini Navi, which includes the shipyards in Viareggio and La Spezia, brands and patents, the share capital of Perini Navi U.S.A. Inc., a land in Pisa, a yacht under construction and existing legal relationships with employees and other third parties.

Following the submission of the proposal, on 2 November 2021 a third auction was called at a total starting price of €47.0 million, corresponding to a reduction of 24.8% on the appraisal reports filed by the experts in the bankruptcy proceedings. The examination of the offers will take place on 22 December 2021 and, in the event of a tender, minimum bid increments will amount to €500 thousand. The winning bidders will undertake specific commitments to safeguarding jobs and maintaining production in the shipyards of Viareggio.

BUSINESS OUTLOOK

The strong growth dynamics of the yachting sector are being consolidated over the months, fostered, in the luxury segment, by the expansion of potential customers belonging to the Ultra High Net Worth Individuals, which are constantly increasing in terms of both number and wealth, particularly in the United States and APAC.

In this context, Sanlorenzo continues to benefit from the unique characteristics of its business model: high-end positioning of the brand, yachts always at the forefront of innovation, rigorously made-to-measure for a restricted club of selected and loyal customers, close liaison with art and design, distribution through a limited number of brand representatives, flexible cost structure.

The expected growth, partly already reflected in the backlog as at 30 September 2021, is fostered by a robust product pipeline, envisaging the launch in 2022 of three new ranges – SP ("Smart Performance"), X-Space and BGM (Bluegame Multi-hull) – with which Sanlorenzo tap into new market segments, characterized by novel functions and strongly inspired by sustainability criteria. These are the principles that also guide Research and Development, focused today in particular on diesel electric yachts and marine application of fuel cells, activity that will receive a strong acceleration thanks to the strategic agreement with Siemens Energy.

In parallel, the Group is enhancing the offer of the High-End Services Division, established in 2020, entirely focused on the proposal of a package of services, to which only Sanlorenzo clients will have access, including tailor-made leasing and financing, the first monobrand charter fleet (Sanlorenzo Charter Fleet), maintenance, refit and restyling services (Sanlorenzo Timeless) and crew training at the Sanlorenzo Academy.

The Group also continues to carry on the programme to constantly increase operating profit margins, fostered by the efficiencies generated by the optimisation of new production capacity, in further expansion thanks to the investments made in the third quarter, and the increase in the prices of new orders.

In light of all of the above, also by virtue of a backlog for the year 2021 equal to €570,646 thousand, about 91% covered by final clients, the Company confirms the guidance8 for the current year disclosed with the approval of the Half-Yearly Financial Report on 13 September 2021, which provides a double-digit growth of the main metrics.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

BASIS OF PREPARATION

Introduction

This periodic financial information as at 30 September 2021 (hereinafter "Periodic Financial Information as at 30 September 2021") was approved by the Board of Directors of the Company on 4 November 2021 and has not been audited, as it is not required by current regulations.

Sanlorenzo S.p.A., as a company listed on Euronext STAR Milan segment of the Italian Stock Exchange, is subject to the provisions of Article 2.2.3 of the Stock Exchange Regulations. On the basis of these regulations, the Company has prepared the Periodic Financial Information as at 30 September 2021, which it makes available to the public.

Basis of preparation

The Periodic Financial Information as at 30 September 2021 has been prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board and endorsed by the European Union, including all interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC), previously known as the Standing Interpretations Committee (SIC).

For the purposes of preparing Periodic Financial Information as at 30 September 2021, the provisions of IAS 34 ("Interim Financial Reporting"), relating to infra-annual financial reporting, were not adopted, given that the Group applies this standard to half-yearly financial reports and not to quarterly reports.

The accounting principles and criteria adopted for the preparation of the Periodic Financial Information as at 30 September 2021 are consistent with those used for the preparation of the consolidated financial statements as at 31 December 2020 to which reference should be made for more details.

The Periodic Financial Information as at 30 September 2021 has been prepared on the basis of the accounting positions of the Parent Company and its subsidiaries, adjusted accordingly to ensure they conform to the IFRS.

The Periodic Financial Information as at 30 September 2021 includes the consolidated statement of the financial position, consolidated statement of profit and loss and the other comprehensive income, consolidated statement of cash flows and consolidated statement of changes in equity for the period from 1 January to 30 September 2021.

For comparative purposes, the financial statements present a comparison with the statement of financial position data in the consolidated financial statements as at 31 December 2020 and with the data in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, and the consolidated statement of cash flows, as at 30 September 2020.

As regards the statement of financial position, the presentation format adopted provides for a distinction between current and non-current assets and liabilities, according to paragraphs 60 et seq. of IAS 1.

The presentation of the consolidated income statement adopts a classification of costs based on the type of expense.

The consolidated statement of cash flows was prepared based on the indirect method and is presented in compliance with IAS 7, classifying the financial flows between operating, investment and financing activities.

Basis of measurement

The Periodic Financial Information as at 30 September 2021 was prepared using the historical cost method, with the exception of derivative financial instruments, which were recognised at fair value as required by IFRS 9 - "Financial Instruments", and on a going concern basis. The Directors, in fact, have checked that there are no material uncertainties (as defined in IAS 1.25) in relation to the going-concern assumption.

Functional and presentation currency

The Periodic Financial Information as at 30 September 2021 is presented in Euro, the functional currency of the Parent Company. All amounts have been rounded to the nearest thousand, unless otherwise indicated.

Use of judgements and estimates

The preparation of the Periodic Financial Information as at 30 September 2021 in application of the IAS/IFRS requires the Directors to apply accounting standards that may sometimes be affected by complex and subjective judgements and estimates, based on past experience and assumptions deemed reasonable and realistic in the circumstances.

The application of these estimates and assumptions affects the reporting amounts in the financial statements, such as the statement of financial position, the statement of profit and loss and other comprehensive income, the statement of cash flows and the disclosures included herein.

Reference should be made to the consolidated financial statements as at 31 December 2020 in relation to the main areas requiring the use of judgements and estimates, specifying that there are no changes in the main sources of uncertainty of estimates compared to those reported in the consolidated financial statements as at 31 December 2020.

Consolidation criteria

The Periodic Financial Information as at 30 September 2021 includes the interim financial statements as at 30 September 2021 of the Parent Company and those of the Italian and foreign subsidiaries specifically prepared. Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Group. The Group controls an entity when it is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements

from the date on which control commences until the date on which control ceases. The consolidation criteria adopted in the preparation of this Periodic Financial Information as at 30 September 2021 are the same as those adopted and reported in the consolidated financial statements as at 31 December

Summary of accounting standards applied

In the preparation of this Periodic Financial Information as at 30 September 2021, the same accounting principles and preparation criteria were applied as those used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements as at 31 December 2020, to which reference should be made.

Impairment testing

2020.

The Company decided to perform the impairment test on goodwill and on development expenditure at the end of each year.

For the preparation of the Periodic Financial Information as at 30 September 2021, the Company assessed, on the basis of information from external and internal sources, whether there were indications of impairment of assets. At Group level, the existence of indicators of impairment was assessed as required by paragraph 12 of IAS 36. In assessing the results as at 30 September 2021, the Company considered that there were no trigger events and it was not necessary to carry out impairment testing; these trends will be carefully monitored in the coming months in order to promptly identify elements that may determine the need to carry out the aforementioned tests.

INFORMATION ON RISKS AND FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Group's activities are exposed to a series of risks and uncertainties that could influence its financial position, results of operations and cash flows. In particular, the Group is exposed to credit risk, arising from commercial transactions, liquidity risk, risks arising from changes in the regulatory framework and risks connected with litigation and tax assessments. Furthermore, the Group is exposed to fluctuations in interest rates on its variable rate debt instruments and fluctuations in exchange rates, primarily on sales of yachts in US dollars, and hedges such exposures with derivative instruments.

The Periodic Financial Information as at 30 September 2021 does not include all information on risk management. There were no changes with reference to the consolidated financial statements as at 31 December 2020 regarding the risks to which the Group is exposed and their management.
