Interim Report
Group's activity
TOD'S Group operates in the luxury sector under its proprietary brands (TOD'S, HOGAN, and FAY) and licensed brands (ROGER VIVIER). It actively creates, produces and distributes shoes, leather goods and accessories, and apparel. The mission is to offer global customers top-quality products that satisfy their functional requirements and aspirations.
Organizational structure of the Group. Group's organisational configuration rotates around TOD'S S.p.A. that is at the heart of Group's organisation, its parent company that owns TOD'S, HOGAN and FAY brands, holds the licenses to the ROGER VIVIER, and manages Group's production and distribution. Through a series of sub-holdings, the organisation is rounded out by a series of commercial companies that are delegated complete responsibility for retail distribution through the DOS network. Certain of them, strategically located on international markets, are assigned major roles in product distribution, marketing and promotion, and public relations processes along the "value chain", while simultaneously guaranteeing the uniform image that Group brands must have worldwide.
Development of production. Group's production structure is based on complete control of the production process, from creation of the collections to production and then distribution of the products. This approach is considered key to assuring the prestige of its brands.
Shoes and leather goods are produced in Group-owned plants, with partial outsourcing to specialized workshops. All of these outsourcers are located in areas with a strong tradition of shoe and leather good production. This preference reflects the fact that an extremely high standard of professional quality is required to make these items, with a si gnificantly high level of added value contributed to the final product by manual work.
The Group relies exclusively on selected specialized outsourcers, which enables it to exploit their respective specializations in crafting the individual products sold a s part of the apparel line.
Distribution structure. The prestige of Group's brands and the high degree of specialization necessary to offer the respective products to customers entails distribution through a network of similarly specialized stores. Accordingly, the Group relies principally on three channels: DOS (directly operated stores), franchised retail outlets, and a series of selected, independent multibrand stores.
Group's strategy is focused on development of the DOS and franchising networks, gi ven that these channels offer greater control and more faithful transmission of the individual brands. It is also clear that, in particular market situations, distribution through independent multibrand stores is more efficient. This channel is of key importance to the Group.
Group's brands
The TOD'S brand is known for shoes and luxury leather goods, with styles that have became icons of modern living; TOD'S is known in the luxury goods sector as a symbol of the perfect combination of tradition, quality and modernity. Each product is hand-crafted with highly-skilled techniques, intended, after laborious reworking, to become an exclusive, recognisable, modern and practical object. Some styles, like the Driv ing Shoe and the D bag, are cherished by celebrities and ordinary people worldwide, and have become icons and forerunners of a new concept of elegance, for both women and men.
Begun in the 80s with shoe collections for women, men a nd children, the HOGAN brand now also crafts various leather goods items. The HOGAN brand is distinctive for high quality, functionality and design. Every product stems from a highly skilled design technique and is created using quality materials with a particular passion for details and a search for perfection. HOGAN products are the highest expression of a "new luxury" lifestyle. HOGAN is meant for someone who cherishes the type of luxury associated with product excellence, innovative original design and consummate practicality. The Traditional and the Interactive shoe styles endure as continuing "best sellers".
FAY is a brand created in the mid 80s with a product range of high quality casual wear. The brand is known for its quality craftsmanship, for the excellence of its materials, a meticulous attention to craft details and its high functionality without sacrificing style and quality. FAY products are wearable everywhere: from the stadium to the office, in urban areas and in t he countryside. The line, which has seasonal men's, women's and junior's collections, focuses on classic evergreen styles, continuously modified and refreshed with innovative and recognisably eye -catching design.
The Fabergé of shoes, and creator of the first stiletto heel in the 1950's, ROGER VIVIER designed extravagant and luxuriously decorated shoes that he described as being "sculptures." The artistic heritage and excellent traditional roots of the VIVIER fashion house have been revived. Under the management of Creative Director Bruno Frisoni, VIVIER's work and vision endure and n ew chapters are added to this unique life story every year, which goes beyond expertise in the craft of shoe making to include handbags, small leather goods, jewellery and sunglasses.
Foreign currency markets
Average exchange rates for the first half of 2015, compared to figures for the same period of the previous year, show a broadly and significant weakness of the euro currency in respect to the currencies with which the Group operates; in particular versus the Hong Kong dollar (HKD), the US dollar (USD) and Chinese Renminbi (RMB) which showed a revaluation in respect to the euro currency of 18.7%, 18.6% and 17.9% respectively.
Main events and operations during the period
The market scenario in which the Group operates was characterized by the volatility of the global luxury goods market again in the first half of 2015. This had been a feature of the entire year 2014. The appreciation of some currencies against the euro considerably impacted growth rates, thus leading to profound imbalances between European and extra -European markets and affecting consumption in some markets, especially the market in Greater China, where a sharp decline in domestic consumption continues to be evident. This phenomenon had already affected the results of all the main brands in the sector in the previous financial year.
In this scenario, the Group recorded very good performances in the first half of 2015, which were driven, in particular, by increased sales in the second quarter, also thanks to the positive impact of the currency trends. Sales recorded double digit figures, compared to the first half of 2014, in all the international markets in which the Group operates, except for Greater Chin a only, which, as has been said, was still affected by a general and continuing consumption decline. However, this market recorded, once again, excellent performances for the ROGER VIVIER brand, the revenues of which showed, at current exchange rates, an increase of 17.1%. More in general, the current half-year also confirmed this brand's great appeal to international customers: sales of ROGER VIVIER brand increased by 31.3% (almost 20% at constant rates) compared to the first half of 2014.
As regards the brands, HOGAN continued to grow in international markets, to which the Group expansion strategy is addressed at present: in the foreign markets in which the brand is present, sales recorded double-digit growth rates as a whole compared to the first half of 2014.
As regards business development, the TOD'S Group continued, in the half -year, to carry out its strategy of expanding its DOS network, a fundamental requirement for the pursuit of medium term growth targets, opening 20 new DOS. Among these we mentio n the inauguration of the first directly-operated store in Denmark inside a prestigious Copenhagen shopping centre and the openings of new TOD'S boutiques in Houston and Atlanta, which are major cities for the US market, in which the Group has not been present up to now. As regards investments, the construction of a new building is being completed in the area in which the Group's headquarters are located, which will be mainly dedicated to host some important industrial activities.
On the other hand, in order to support the present and future development of investments connected with the Group's growth, in the first half of 2015, the parent company TOD'S S.p.A. entered into two 4-year term loan agreements with two major banks, for a total amount of euro 50 million, thus seizing the opportunity of extremely low interest rates and particularly favourable credit access conditions for the Company.
Again with a view to business development, in the half-year the Group continued to expand its ecommerce channel. In implementing the development plan agreed with the industrial partner that had been selected for the online marketing of all the brands, the Group also started to distribute its products, at the same time as the 2015 -2016 autumn-winter collection, on the important market of mainland China, in addition to the already active markets in Italy, the United States and the main European countries.
This significant expansion of the e-commerce channel is also expected to positively boost the "traditional" market of directly-operated stores in mainland China, through the strengthening of the brand awareness of the brands involved in the e -commerce project, also thanks to the simultaneous enhanced presence in terms of digital communication in the market.
Finally, it should be noted that the Group will be able to further boost its e -commerce channel thanks to the collaboration with Net-A-Porter and Mr. Porter, the major reference boutiques for online purchases dedicated to women's and men's fashion, which was started in the month of July of the current year. This partnership provides for these important o nline players to start selling the TOD'S Ready To Wear collections, which have been present until now in some international brand boutiques only, from the end of July .
As regards social responsibility, the Group continued its Welfare project which, as part of the initiatives to provide economic support to the families of the Group's Italian employees, saw the extension, also for the current financial year, of both the annual contribution of euro 1,400 and the full refund of the cost incurred by its employees' families to buy school books, together with the renewal of a significant health care protection to the benefit of its employees and their families.
Again as regards social responsibility, the Shareholders' Meeting of the parent company TOD'S S.p.A. held on April 22n d , 2015 renewed its support and resolved, as in the previous financial year, to allocate 1% of the net profit achieved by the Group in the 2014 financial year, equal to about euro 1.0 million, to a specific reserve to be used to pursue local solidarity projects.
Group's results in HY 2015
Consolidated sales were 515.3 million euros in the first half of 2015, increased by 7.9% from H1 2014. It was positive the effect deriving from variation in exchange rates: by using H1 2014 average exchange rates, sales would have been 486.1 million euros, 1.8% up compared with H1 2014 when sales were 477.7 million euros.
EBITDA and EBIT amounted to 103 and 77.5 million euros respectively, and represent 20% and 15% of consolidated revenues. By using H1 2014 average exchange rates, they would have been 90.2 and 66.4 million euros respectively, representing 18.6% and 13.7% of consolidated revenues.

Consolidated sales were 515.3 million euros in the first half of 2015, up 7.9% from H1 2014, showing a visible acceleration in the second quarter of the year (+15% in Q2 as compared to +1.5%), across all the geographical areas and product categories. As expected, the impact of currencies fluctuations was positive: at constant exchange rates, meaning by using the average exchange rates of H1 2014, including the related effects of hedging contracts, sales would have been 486.1 million euros, up 1.8% from H1 2014. Sales through DOS totalled 327.1 million euros, up 8.6% from H1 2014; the 14.3% growth registered in Q2 was driven by the organic growth and by the widening of the retail network.
The Same Store Sales Growth (SSSG) rate, calculated as the worldwide average of sales growth rates at constant exchange rates registered by the DOS already existing as of January 1s t, 2014, is -5.6% in the first 31
weeks of the year (from January 1s t to August 2 n d, 2015). This figure shows a significant improvement as compared with the first three months of the year (it was -10.6% as of the end of March). The SSSG would be definitely positive at reported rates. As of June 30t h, 2015 the Group's distribution network was composed by 251 DOS and 93 franchised stores, compared to 229 DOS and 87 franchised stores as of the end of June 2014. Revenues to third parties globally amounted to 188.2 million euros, up 6.6% from H1 2014; also the performance of this channel registered an acceleration in the second quarter, only partially due to t he different timing of deliveries.
The TOD'S brand totalled 304.4 million euros in sales, up 4.9% from H1 2014 and registered a significant acceleration in the second quarter (+9.9%); positive results in all markets where the brand is distributed, with the exception of China, which continues to be affected by the overall
weakness in consumer spending. HOGAN revenues were 108.8 million euros, up 4.2% from H1 2014. Positive results in all regions; double-digit growth in Europe and in Asia. The FAY brand registered sales of 22.9 million euros, with a slight
increase compared to the first half of 2014, also thanks to the contribution of foreign markets. The brand is in fact launching its international expansion process. Finally, ROGER VIVIER revenues were 78.6 million euros, up 31.3% from H1 2014; double-digit growth in all regions, despite the strategy of selective expansion, aimed at maintaining the unique positioning of the brand .
Sales from shoes continued their growth, confirming the Grou p's leadership in this category.
Revenues were 410.7 million euros (up +9.9% from H1 2014; +16.1% only in Q2). Sales from leather goods and accessories totalled 77.6 million euros , up 0.7% from H1 2014. As expected, revenues grew in double digits in the second quarter;
we believe that this improvement will continue during the year, also based on the excellent feedback of the winter collections of some families of TOD'S handbags. Finally, sales from apparel were 26.4 million euros, broadly stable compared to H1 2014.
implies a visible acceleration in Q2 (+6.2%). In the rest of Europe, the Group's revenues totalled 122.2 million euros, up 13.1% from H1 2014; also in this region, the performance improved in Q2. In the Americas, sales were 51.9 million
In the first half of 2015, domestic sales were 152.9 million euros, up 3% from H1 2014, which
euros, up 22.7% from H1 2014; the visible acceleration registered in the last few months of the period was also due to the more favourable weather conditions on the Eastern Coast (+32.4% sales growth in Q2). In Greater China the Group's sales totalled 118.2 million euros, equal to 22.9% of consolidated turnover. Mainland China, which represents approx. half of this region, registered positive results (at reported rates), while the performance in Hong Kong was still negative, due to the general reduction in traffic and consumption. Finally, in the area "Rest of the World" the Group's revenues were 70.1 million euros, up 14.8% from H1 2014 (+30.2% in Q2), mainly driven by the outstanding results of Japan and Korea .
O p e r a t i n g r e s u l t s . EBITDA in H1 2015 totalled 103 million euros, unchanged in respect to the amount reported in H1 2014. Gross operating profit was thus equivalent to 20% of consolidated revenue (H1 2014: 21.6%). EBITDA at constant exchange rate amounted to 90.2 million euros,
representing 18.6% of consolidated revenues. Profits at the gross margin level were consolidated, as confirmation of the excellent positions of the Group's brands at the high end of the luxury brands sector and of the ability to generate revenues in the products segments and in the geographical areas with higher margins. This result absorbed the main impact of rising operating costs linked to the expansion strategy of the DOS network (the increase in the number of DOS recorded in the period from July 2014 to June 2015 was equal
to 22). Lease and rental expenses (leases of locations and royalties for use of licensed brands) totalled 63.1 million euros at June 30t h , 2015, up 9.9 million euros from H1 2014, mainly due to the expansion of distribution network; they represented 12.2% of revenue at June 30t h, 2015 against 11.1% at June 30t h, 2014. Increased even the personnel costs which totalled 91.4 million euros in the first half of year 2015, compared with 79.6 million euros in the first six months of the previous year. The change is mainly connected with the increase in headcount (mainly due to the expansion of the direct distribution network), with a total of 4, 504 employees at June 30t h , 2015, or 207 and 250 persons more than at December 31s t and June 30t h, 2014, respectively. At June 30t h, 2015, employee costs equalled 17.7% of Group revenue, as compared with 16.7% in the first six months of 2014.
Increased the costs for depreciation, amortization and impairment, amounting to 23.5 in H1 2015, against 20.8 million euros in H12014; the ratio on revenue is 4.6% (substantially in line with
the first half of 2014 when it was 4.4%). Net of additional operating provisions of 2 million euros, EBIT in H1 2015 totalled 77.5 million euros (81.1 million euros at June 30t h, 2014), representing 15% of consolidated revenues (17% at June 30t h, 2014). At June 30t h, 2015, consolidated net profit was equal to 49.9 million euros, against 55.9 million euros at June 30t h of the previous year. At June 30t h net profit represents the 9.7% of revenues (11.7% for the first six months of 2014). The result is net of income taxes for the period (including the
effects of deferred taxes) totalling 24.2 million euros, for a tax rate of 32.6%, increased in respect to the first half 2014 (when it was 29.1%), mainly due to a different geographical mix of results.
Capital expenditures. Capital expenditure in H1 2015 totalled 27.5 million euros, while they were 34 million euros at June 30th , 2014.
Capital expenditures during the period for the DOS network totalled about 15.6 million euro (15.7 million euros in the first half 2014), primarily used for both new DOS openings, among which the most relevant are Houston and Atlanta stores, and for renovation activities of the existing stores.
The remaining investment quota in the period regarded not only the normal processes of modernising the structures and industrial equipment (mainly lasts and moulds) but also the continuation of construction activities for the building located inside the perimeter of TOD'S Group headquarter, which was started last year, and to the development of the company management software.
Net financial position (NFP). At June 30t h , 2015, net financial position was positive and equal to 73.1 million euros (130 million euros and 113.9 million euros at December 31s t and June 30t h , 2014 respectively), including liquid assets (cash and bank deposits) for 159.4 million euros, and liabilities for 86.3 million euros, of which 63.9 million euros for long-term exposures.

Business Outlook
The Group has performed well during the period, showing a solid double -digit growth in both sales and profits in the second quarter. These results confirm the correctness of the Group growth strategy; each brand is developing internationally with high quality products, recognizable and consistent with their own DNA. The Group is also working to a precise plan of marketing and communications, which will use the network, in addition to the traditional instruments, with the aim of adding new customers. In a context that is not easy, especially on
some important markets for luxury goods, such as China, considering the positive feedback received by the winter collections and the continuous strong focus on cost control, the Group will achieve good results also in the second half of the year.

2. Basis of preparation
The half-year Financial Report, which includes the half-year condensed financial statements of TOD'S Group at June 30t h, 2015, has been prepared in accordance with Article 154 ter (2, 3 and 4) of the Consolidated Law on Financial Intermediation ("TUF"), introduced by Legislative Decree 195/2007 in implementation of Directive 2004/109/EC (the "Transparency" directive). The halfyear condensed financial statements complies with IAS 34 – Interim Financial Reporting, adopted according to the procedure envisaged in Article 6 of EC Regulation no. 1606/2002. Consequently, it does not include all the information required for the annual report and must be read together with the annual report prepared for the financial year at December 31st, 2014.
The half-year condensed financial statements include the half-year condensed financial statements of TOD'S S.p.A. and its Italian and foreign subsidiaries, together identified as TOD'S Group, drafted with the reference date of June 30t h, 2015 (January 1st – June 30th).
The half-year condensed financial statements (profit and loss account, comprehensive income, Consolidated Statement of Financial position, Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, and Consolidated statement of changes in equity) were drafted in the long form and are the same as those used for the consolidated financial statements at December 31 st, 2014.
As envisaged in IAS 34, the notes to the financial statements were drafted in summary form and refer only to the components of the profit and loss account, Statement of Financial position, and Statement of Cash Flows, whose composition or change in amount or nature was significant. Thus, they illustrate additional information for accurate comprehension of Group 's financial position at June 30t h, 2015.
Following art. 3 of Consob resolution n.18079 dated 20 January 2012 we inform you that the Company adopt the waiver provided by art. 70 (8) and art. 71 (1 -bis) of Consob regulation n. 11971/99 (and following modifications and integrations) in regard to the documents made available to the public at the registered office and concerning mergers, demergers, capital increases, acquisitions and disposals. If it proves necessary or appropriate to amend items in the half-year Financial Report as a result of the application of a new accounting standard, a change in the nature of a transaction or an accounts review, in order to provide reliable and more relevant information for the users of the half-year Financial Report, the comparative data will be reclassified accordingly in order to improve the comparability of the information between one financial year and another. In this case, if the changes are significant, they will be suitably disclosed in the notes to the half-year Financial Report.
3. Accounting standards
The accounting standards and principles of consolidation applied to the preparation of these Condensed Consolidated Half-year Financial Statements are consistent with those applied to the preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements at 31 December 2014, except for the new standards or interpretations endorsed by the European Union and applicable from 1 January 2015.
Accounting standards, amendments and interpretations endorsed by the European Union, which will be applicable from 1 January 2015 and which were first adopted in the TOD'S Group's Condensed Consolidated Half-Year Financial Statements at 30 June 2015.
• IFRIC 21 – Levies. This interpretation was published on 20 May 2013 and provides guidance on when to recognise a liability for a levy imposed by a government, both for levies that are accounted for in accordance with IAS 37 - Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets and those where the timing and amount of the levy is certain. Specifi cally, this interpretation states that a liability must be recognised at the time of the occurrence of the event, which is normally specified in the legislation introducing a new duty/tax generating the obligation, even if the obligation is measured on past performances. The interpretation should have been applied retrospectively, subject to prior endorsement, for periods beginning on 1 January 2014. The process for endorsement that was completed with the publication in the Official Journal on 14 June 2014 delayed its application on the part of the European Union and has been applicable for periods beginning on or after 17 June 2014 (for the TOD'S Group, from 1 January 2015). The new standard has had no impact on the Group.
• "Annual Improvements to IFRSs: 2011-2013 Cycle" – This document, which was published in December 2013, was aimed at adopting the proposed amendments to the standards within the annual improvements process. The main amendments involve the IAS/IFRS and the issues reported below: IFRS 1 First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards – Meaning of "effective IFRSs; IFRS 3 – Business Combinations - Scope exception for joint ventures; IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement - Scope of portfolio exception; IAS 40 Investment Property - Interrelationship between IFRS 3 and IAS 40. The process for endorsement by the European Union was completed with the publication in the Official Journal on 19 December 2014. The amendments will be applicable for periods beginning on or after 1 July 201 4 (for the TOD'S Group, from 1 January 2015). The new standard has had no impact on the Group.
• "Annual Improvements to IFRSs: 2010-2012 Cycle" - This document, which was published on December 2013, was aimed at adopting the proposed amendments to the standards within the annual improvements process. The main amendments involve the IAS/IFRS and the issues reported below: IFRS 2 Share-based Payment - Definition of vesting conditions; IFRS 3 Business Combinations – Accounting for contingent consideration; IFRS 8 Operating Segments - Aggregation of operating segments; IFRS 8 Operating Segments - Reconciliation of the total of the reportable segments' assets to the entity's assets; IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement - Short-term receivables and payables; IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment and IAS 38 Intangible Assets - Revaluation method: proportionate restatement of accumulated depreciation; IAS 24 Related Party Disclosures - Key management personnel. The process for endorsement by the European Union was completed with the publication in the Official Journal on 9 January 2015. The amendments will be applicable for periods beginning on or after 1 July 2014 (for the TOD'S Group, from 1 January 2015). The new standard has had no impact on the Group.
• Amendments to IAS 19 – Employee contributions to defined benefit plans. On 21 November 2013, the IASB published some minor amendments to IAS 19 – Employee benefits, concerning the accounting for contributions to defined benefit plans from employees or third parties in specific cases, to be recognised as a reduction in the service cost for the period. The process for endorsement by the European Union was completed with the publication in the Official Journal on 9 January 2015. These amendments will be applicable retro spectively for periods beginning on or after 1 July 2014 (for the TOD'S Group, from 1 January 2015). The new standard has had no impact on the Group.
Accounting standards, amendments and interpretations published by the IASB but not yet endorsed by the European Union and not adopted in the preparation of these financial statements.
• IFRS 14 – Regulatory Deferral Accounts. On 30 January 2014 the IASB published the document as the first step in the wider rate-regulated activities project, which was started by the IASB in September 2012. IFRS 14 allows entities, but only those which are first-time adopters of IFRS, to continue to recognise the amounts of assets/liabilities subject to rate regulation according to the accounting standards previously adopted. In order to enhance comparability with entities that already apply IFRS and do not recognise these amounts separately, the standard requires the effect of rate-regulated activities to be presented separately from other items in the statement of financial position, the income statement and the statement of comprehensive income. The IASB expects to adopt it from 2016.
• Amendments to IFRS 11: Accounting for Acquisitions of Interests in Joint Operations (issued on 6 May 2014). The IASB expects to adopt it from 2016.
• IFRS 15 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers. On 28 May 2014 the IASB published a document which requires an entity to recognise revenue at the time the control of goods or services is transferred to the customer in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for these goods or services. The new revenue recognition model sets out a process in five steps. The new standard also requires additional disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of the revenue and cash flows arising from these contracts with customers. The IASB expects to adopt it from 2017.
• Amendments to IAS 16 and IAS 38: Clarification of Acceptable Methods of Depreciation and Amortisation (issued on 12 May 2014). The IASB expects to adopt it from 2016.
• Amendments to IAS 16 and IAS 41: Bearer Plants (issued on 30 June 2014). The IASB expects to adopt it from 2016.
• IFRS 9 – Financial Instruments. On 24 July 2014 the IASB published the final docume nt constituting the conclusion of the process, divided into three phases: Classification and Measurement, Impairment and General Hedge Accounting , entirely revising IAS 39. The document introduces new requirements for classifying and measuring financial assets and liabilities. Specifically, as regards financial assets, the new standard adopts a single approach based on how the financial instruments are managed and on the contractual cash flow characteristics of the
financial assets themselves in order to determine the related valuation method, aiming at eventually replacing the various rules laid down under IAS 39. As regards financial liabilities, the main amendment concerns the method of accounting for fair value changes in a financial liability designated as at fair value through profit or loss, which are due to own credit of the financial liability itself. According to the new standard, these changes must be recognised in other comprehensive income, without affecting profit or loss. The main development r elating to hedge accounting are:
-
Changes in the type of transactions that qualify for hedge accounting; specifically, a more extensive range of risks has been introduced for non-financial assets/liabilities that qualify for hedge accounting;
-
A change in the method of accounting for forward contracts and options included in a hedge accounting relationship, in order to reduce profit or loss volatility;
-
Changes in the effectiveness test by replacing the current methods based on the 80 -125% range with the principle of the "economic relationship" between the hedged item and the hedging instrument; furthermore, entities are no longer required to perform an assessment of the retrospective effectiveness of the hedging relationship;
-
A greater flexibility of the accounting methods is offset by improved disclosures on the risk management activities carried out by entities.
The new document includes a single model for the impairment of financial assets based on expected losses.
The IASB expects to adopt it from 2018.
• Amendments to IAS 27: Equity Method in Separate Financial Statements (issued on 12 August 2014). The IASB expects to adopt it in 2016.
• Amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28: Sale or Contribution of Asset between an Investor and its Associate or Joint Venture (issued on 11 September 2014). The IASB expects to adopt it in 2016.
• Annual Improvements to IFRSs: 2012-2014 Cycle (issued on 25 September 2014). The IASB expects to adopt it in 2016.
• Amendments to IAS 1: Disclosure Initiative (issued on 18 December 2014). The IASB expects to adopt it in 2016.
• Amendments to IFRS 10, IFRS 12 and IAS 28: Investment Entities: Applying the Consolidation Exception (issued on 18 December 2014). The IASB expects to adopt it in 2016.
The standards listed above are not applicable as they have not been endorsed by the European Union, which, during the process of endorsement, could adopt these standards only partially or could not adopt them at all. On the other hand, from a first preliminary review it resul ts that a future adoption of the new standards should have no significant impact on the Group's consolidated financial statements.
Estimates and assumptions. Preparation of the financial figures reported on the half-year condensed financial statements entails making estimates and assumptions based on the management's best valuation. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed regularly. If these estimates and assumptions should change in future from the actual circumstances, they will obviously be modified for the period in which those circumstances changed.
Specifically with regard to determination of eventual impairment losses affecting fixed assets, complete tests are performed only when the annual report is prepared, when all information as might be necessary are available, unless there are indications that require immediate valuation of eventual impairment losses or the occurrence of events that required reiteration of the procedure. The analyses carried out at this reporting date have not revealed any impairment indicators.

4. Seasonal or cyclical nature of interim transactions
TOD'S Group engages in a business that, despite the effects related to monthly differences in the flows of revenues and costs generated by its industrial activity over the course of the year, it does not manifest significant seasonal or cyclical changes in overall annual sales.
5. Alternative indicators of performances
In order to strip the effects of changes in exchange rates from the average values of the first six months of 2015 from the results for the six months of 2014, the typical economic indicators (Revenues, EBITDA, EBIT) have been recalculated by applying the average exchange rates for the six months of 2014, thereby rendering them fully comparable with those of the previous period. These criteria for measuring business performance must not be considered alternative to those established by IFRS.
Furthermore – as it has already been mentioned in the preceding paragraph, the Group's cash flow is uneven from quarter to quarter, largely on account of its industrial activity. Consequently, the analysis of interim results and financial statement indicators (EBITDA, EBIT, financial position and working capital) cannot be considered fully representative, and it would thus be improper to consider the indicators for the reference period to be in proportion to the results for the entire financial year.
6. Scope of consolidation
The scope of consolidation at June 30t h, 2015 changed in respect to June 30t h, 2014 mainly due to the project of Group reorganisation, started in 2013, which will ultimately result in the ROGER VIVIER brand having its own, autonomous corporate organization of distribution activities. To execute this reorganisation, the following companies were formed: Roger Vivier Switzerland S.A. incorporated on June 17t h , 2014 and 100% owned by Partecipazioni Internazionali S.r.l., Roger Vivier Japan KK incorporated on October 1 s t , 2014 and 100% owned by TOD'S International BV and Roger Vivier Macau Lda incorporated on November 14t h , 2014 and 90% owned by Partecipazioni Internazionali S.r.l. and 10% owned by Roger Vivier Hong Kong. In addition, the following companies have been incorporated: on November 25t h , 2014 TOD'S Danmark APS has been incorporated and it is 100% owned by TOD'S S.p.A., on February 20th, 2015 TOD'S Washington Inc. has been incorporated and it is 100% owned by An.Del Inc. and on March 5 t h , 2015 TOD'S Austria Gmbh has been incorporated and it is 100% owned by TOD'S S.p.A. The company TOD'S Washington Inc. is not operating at June 30 t h , 2015.
In respect to December 31s t, 2014 the scope of consolidation changed due to the incorporation of TOD'S Washington Inc. and TOD'S Austria Gmbh.
It is assumed that the Group controls those companies in which it does not own more than 50% of the capital, and thus disposes of the same percentage of voting power at the Shareholders' Meeting, where the Group is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns throug h its power over the investee, as defined by IFRS 10 – Consolidated Financial Statements.

7. Segment reporting
The search for higher levels of operating efficiency has identified as key element for maximising profitability via the condivision of a significant portion of service activities (first and foremost production), both at the central and peripheral levels; on the contrary, aggressive segmentation of the business appears uneconomical, under current circumstances.
At the operating level, the Group's organisation is based on an articulated matrix structure according to the different functions/activities in the value chain, alternatively according to brand, product, channel and geographical area. The overall organisation envisages a unified strategic vision of the business.
This type of organisation is reflected in the ways in which management monitors and strategically focuses the Group's activities.
The economic disclosure set out in the Interim Report includes operating information, including a break-down of consolidated revenues by BRAND, CHANNEL, PRODUCT TYPE and REGION. Below are provided some further details for completion:

8. Management of financial risks
Consistently with the provisions of the Code of Self-discipline of Listed Companies, TOD'S Group has set up a system for monitoring the financial risks to which it is exposed. These can be identified as follows:
- i. Credit risk. This represents the exposure of TOD'S Group to potenti al losses stemming from default on the obligations assumed by commercial counterparties.
- ii. Liquidity risk. This represents the risk stemming from the unavailability of financial resources as necessary to meet the short-term commitments assumed by the Group and its own financial requirements. The main factors that determine the Group's degree of liquidity are the resources generated or used by operating and investment activities and, on the other hand, the due dates or renewal dates of its payables or the liqu idity of its financial investments and market conditions.
It is noted that the parent company TOD'S S.p.A., during the half year 2015, catching the opportunity of extremely low interest rates and banking conditions particularly favorable for the Company, it entered into two loan agreements, with two leading banks, for a total amount of 50 million euros (Note 11) with a duration of 4 years, which were aimed to finance the construction, already started last year, of a new production plant in the area in whic h the Group's headquarter is situated, and more generally, to support the future investments related to the Group development.
The Group's profitability, together with its current and historic capacity to generate cash and considering the exposure to the banking system, these are factors that lead to the conclusion that it faces no liquidity risk over the foreseeable future.
Finally, it should be noted that on July 23 rd, 2014 the parent company TOD'S S.p.A. entered into a loan agreement with two leading banks, which was aimed at setting aside funds for a maximum amount of 400 million euros intended to support the Group's future development. At June 30 th , 2015, the Company did not request any sum.
- iii. Market risk. This type of risk includes those risks that are directly or indirectly tied with the fluctuation of physical and financial market prices to which a company is exposed:
- exchange rate risk;
- interest rate risk;
- commodity risk, which is tied to the volatility of prices for the raw materials used in t he production process.
The policy adopted for management of the aforementioned risks, provides that the Group constantly monitors the financial risks connected with its operations, so that it can assess their potential negative effects in advance and take the necessary actions to mitigate them.
Particularly in regard to exchange rate risk, the Group , due to its commercial operations, is exposed to fluctuations in the exchange rates for currencies in which some of its commercial transactions are denominated (particularly USD, GBP, CHF and Far East countries), against a cost structure that is concentrated principally in the euro zone. Changes in the exchange rate between the euro and the aforementioned currencies can impact the Group's results. Moreover, due to the geographical composition of the Group structure, which is formed by subsidiaries with different currencies, the Group is exposed to exchange rate risk related to intercompany financial flows (mainly dividends, loans, transactions on share capital). The Group's risk management policy, in connection to the exchange rate risk on commercial transactions, pursues the objective of guaranteeing that the value in euro of the receipts from wholesale sales in foreign currency of each collection (Spring-Summer and Fall-Winter) is equal or better on average to what would be obtained by applying the set target exchange rates. The foregoing purposes are pursued by executing forward contracts for each individual currency in which the Group operates, in order to hedge a specific percentage of revenue volumes (and costs) expected in the individual currencies other than the functional currency, without any speculative or trading purpose, consistently with the strategic policies adopted for prudential management of cash flows. This might involve foregoing opportunities, but also avoids incurring speculative risks.
In connection with the exchange rate risk on financial intercompany transactions, t he Group monitors the risk underlying outstanding liabilities (loans) and fo recast liabilities (dividends and capital increases), in view of guaranteeing that no material operating and financial impact for the entities involved results from these transactions in relation to fluctuations in exchange rates. These goals are pursued by the Group through monitoring the foreign exchange rate trends related to outstanding or expected capital transactions and entering into forward contracts if they will have material contingent effects. These forward contracts are made to hedge the individual transactions, and not for speculation or trading. This is consistent with the strategic policies focused on prudent management of cash flows.
In addition, TOD'S Group is exposed to interest rate fluctuations, limited to its variable -rate debt instruments. Interest rate risk is managed in conformity to long -established practice with the aim of cutting down the risk of interest rate volatility, at the same time pursuing the goal of reducing the financial costs involved to a minimum.
At June 30 th , 2015 there were two derivative contracts in being (interest rate swaps - IRSs), which were entered into on July 23rd, 2014, to hedge the risk of possible changes in the interest rates on the financing transaction aimed at setting aside funds for a maximum amount of 400 million euros. These derivatives protect the Group from the risk of a generalis ed rise in interest rates, swapping the variable rate on the loan for a contractually fixed rate. Considering that no amounts had yet been drawn as at June 30 th , 2015 in relation to the loan underlying the abovementioned hedging transactions, it should be noted that the effects arising from the IRSs in 2015 have been recognized under an equity reserve for cash flow hedge , net of tax effects.
9. Intangible and Tangible fixed assets
Intangible assets with undefined useful life includes the values of the Group own brands, for about 137 million euros, and value of goodwill, for about 12 million euros, related to acquisitions of controlled companies and they have been determined in accordance with the acquisition method (IFRS 3).
Key money include the amounts paid for this purpose by the Group to take over certain leases of commercial spaces where some DOS operate.
Other intangible assets with definite useful life include long -term amounts to protect the brands owned by the Group, software and other intangible assets. This item include the net book value related to the agreement signed by the holding TOD'S S.p.A. for financing the restoration work on the Coliseum, amounting to 10.4 million euros.
Capital expenditure in H1 2015 totalled 27.5 million euros, of which 2.5 million euros of intangible assets and 25 million euros of tangible assets. The capital expenditures of the DOS network totalled about 15.6 million euros. This amount was used primarily for both new DOS openings, among which the most relevant are Houston and Atlanta stores, and for renovation activities of the existing stores. The remaining investment quota in the period regarded not only the normal processes of modernising the structures and industrial equipment (mainly lasts and moulds) but also the continuation of construction activities for the building located inside the perimeter of TOD'S Group headquarter, which was started last year, and to the development of the company management software.
10. Derivatives financial instruments
At the closing date of the half-year condensed financial statements, the notional amount of the currency futures agreements (sale and purchase) entered into by the Group are summarized as follows:
| Currency 000's | Sales | Purchases | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Notional in | Notional in | Notional in | Notional in | |||

| Australian dollar | 2,080 | 1,430 | ||||
| Total | 259,556 | 61,678 |
At each reporting date, the hedge accounting method is applied. This requires recognition of the derivatives in equity at their fair value and recognition of the changes in fair value, which varies according to the type of hedge at the valuation date. The fair value of derivative financial instruments existing at June 30t h, 2015 is classified as Level 2 and has been determined using exchange rate that are quoted in active markets.
At June 30th , 2015 the net fair value of derivatives used to hedge exchange risks reported is negative, on the whole, of 10,248 thousand euros, i.e. the balance of assets of 925 thousand euros (compared to 1,751 thousand euros at December 31s t , 2014) and liabilities of 11,173 thousand euros (compared to 11,422 thousand euros at December 31st , 2014).
The cash flow hedge reserve related to hedging instruments used to hedge forecast transactions, net of related tax effects, is negative for 2,552 thousand euros (it was negative for 4,935 thousand euros at December 31s t , 2014). Such reserve include even a portion related to intercompany transactions of the period, of which the related hedging instruments are closed at June 30t h, 2015, and it will be reversed to the income statements when sales to third parties customers will be realized.
As regards the latter hedging contracts related to commercial transactions, which were closed in the period from January to June 2015, the transfer of the effect of the hedging transactions to the income statement was equal to 11,399 thousand euros, of which 11,043 thousand euros were entered as a reduction in revenues and 356 thousand euros as an increase in costs.
At June 30th , 2015 two derivative contracts (interest rate swaps - IRSs) were also in place, which were entered into on July 23rd , 2014 to hedge the risk associated with fluctuations in the interest rates on a variable rate loan transaction that was completed on the same date in order to set aside funds to a maximum amount of 400 million euros (Note 11). These derivative contracts, having an overall notional amount equal to the maximum value of the amounts made available to TOD'S S.p.A. (of which an amount of 200 million euros was raised from Crédit Agricole and an amount of 200 million euros was raised from Mediobanca), protect the Group from the risk of a generalised rise in interest rates, swapping the variable rate on the loan for a contractually fixed rate. Considering that no amounts had yet been requested by the Company as at June 30th , 2015 in relation to the loan underlying the abovementioned hedging transactions, the fair value of these derivatives, which was negative for 4,763 thousand euros at June 30th , 2015, was fully recognized under the equity reserve for cash flow hedge, net of the related tax effect .
