Interim Report
Group's activity
TOD'S Group operates in the luxury sector with its brands TOD'S, HOGAN, FAY and ROGER VIVIER. The Group 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.
O r g a n i z a t i on a l s t r u c t u r e o f t h e G r o u p . Group's organisational configuration rotates around its parent company TOD'S S.p.A., which is at the heart of Group's organisation, managing Group's production and distribution, owning TOD'S, HOGAN and FAY brands and holding the license of the ROGER VIVIER brand, the latter owned by the fully controlled subsidiary ROGER VIVIER S.p.A.. 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 pref erence reflects the fact that an extremely high standard of professional quality is required to make these items, with a significantly high level of added value contributed to the final product by manual work.
The Group relies exclusively on selected speci alized outsourcers, which enables it to exploit their respective specializations in crafting the individual products sold as 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 sel ected, independent multibrand stores. E-commerce channel, which was started some years ago, is getting more relevant.
Group's strategy is focused on development of the DOS and franchising networks, given 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 also 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 bec ome 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 Driving 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 styl es 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 mat erials, 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 the 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 new 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 2017, compared to figures for the same period of the previous year, show a broadly and light devaluation of the euro currency in respect to the currencies with which the Group operates. Great Britain pound (GBP) represents an exception to this trend because it showed a devaluation against euro of about 10.5% in respect to the first half of year 2016, mainly due to Brexit events .
Main events and operations during the period
The macroeconomic scenario in which the Group operated during the first six months of the year 2017 was once again characterised by the situations of uncertainty that have been influencing the international markets for some time now, making them unstable and volatile. In this context, the luxury sector is at a stage of rapid evolution, with specific features that have influenced, and will
continue to influence, consumption in the different geographic areas of the global market. In greater detail, the overview of the general international context highlig hts juxtaposing trends: on the one hand, the weakness of consumption in the USA, negatively influenced by both the uncertain political context and the strong currency, with greater impacts on sales in the department stores channel and, on the other, the recovery of the market of mainland China, which has returned to growth after years of decline, mainly thanks to the recovery of local consumption. Chinese customers, moreover, continue to be a considerable portion of the luxury market linked to tourist flows. Even consumption on the European market is back to showing positive signs, both thanks to the partial recovery of domestic consumption and to the increase of said tourist flows, despite the social tensions and uncertainties linked to the risk of terrorism. The effect of the devaluation of the British pound post the Brexit referendum has been positive on consumption in the English market.
In this complex scenario, Group performance in the first six months of 201 7 partially suffered from the mentioned macro-economic factors, recording a decrease of 2.9% in revenues as compared with the first six months of 2016, with performance on the international markets basically in line with those general trends.
Another important phenomenon that is characterising the sector's reference context regards the greater polarisation, with respect to the past, of consumption on high end luxury brands. Under this context, the results recorded by ROGER VIVIER brand, which increasingly confirms its status as a point of reference for the most exclusive segment of the luxury market, were extremely positive: brand sales showed a double digits growth in all geographic areas in which it is distributed, with the only exception of the USA.
As regards business development, the Group continues to invest decisively in digital, an important commercial and communication channel, which is properly revolutionising the business model of all sector players, significantly extending the situations and ways of direct contact with global consumers. It is in this context that the Group decided to renew for a further five-year period, the strategic partnership with the company Italiantouch S.r.l. for the development of the Group's e commerce channel, in order to achieve important objectives through digit al innovation, the development of markets that are already launched and the implementation of the channel in new geographic areas.
As regards investments for the period, which were mainly dedicated to the development of the direct distribution network and renovations of existing stores, please note that during the first half of the year, works began on developing the new Arquata del Tronto plant, which should be completed by the end of the year and which will bring jobs to young people in the area, a clear indication of the Group's commitment to support the Marche town population and the neighbouring areas, devastated by the August 2016 earthquake.
Group's results in HY 2017
Consolidated sales were 483 million euros in the first half of 2017, down 2.9% from H1 2016. The effect deriving from variation in exchange rates was not so significant: by using H1 2016 average exchange rates, sales would have been 481.7 million euros, -3.2% down compared with H1 2016 when sales were 497.6 million euros.
EBITDA and EBIT amounted to 75.7 and 52.3 million euros respectively, and represent 15.7% and 10.8% of consolidated revenues. Substantially not significant exchange rates effects: by using H1 2016 average exchange rates, they would have been 75.5 and 52.2 million euros respectively, confirming 15.7% and 10.8% of consolidated revenues.

Revenue Consolidated sales were 483 million euros in the first half of 2017, down 2.9% from H1 2016. In the second quarter, revenues were 244.5 million euros, down 1.4% from Q2 2016. At constant exchange rates, meaning by using the average exchange rates of H1 2016, including the related effects of hedging contracts, sales would have been 481.7 million euros, down 3.2% from the same period of last year.
TOD'S sales totalled 265.3 million euros in the first half of 2017; the 6.1% decrease, compared to the first half of 2016, is mainly due to the performance of shoes, which is the category with the highest exposure to the wholesale channel. The Spring Summer collection of handbags achieved
good results. HOGAN revenues were 98.7 million euros; the 6.9% decrease, compared to the first half of 2016, is mainly due to the weakness of the Italian market. Revenues of the FAY brand were 25.9 million euros, up 4.1% from the first
half of 2016; good results in all the regions where the brand is distributed. Finally, ROGER VIVIER confirmed the double-digit growth rate of the first quarter. Its sales totalled 92.6 million euros; strong results in all markets, excepted for the US one, which continued to be penalized by the sharp drop of traffic in the stores.
Revenues from shoes were 386.3 million euros. The performance of this category, which has the highest exposure to the wholesale channel, has been affected by the prudent attitude taken toward this channel, in order to preserve the brands' prestige and the outstanding quality of
credit receivables. Sales of leather goods and accessories totalled 68.1 million euros, with a small decrease compared to the first half of 2016, partially due to a different timing of deliveries. Finally, sales of apparel
were 28.1 million euros, up 2.8% from the first half of 2016. The performance broadly reflects the FAY's one.
In the first half of 2017, domestic sales were 145.4 million euros, slightly lower than in the same period of 2016. The growth registered in the second quarter is mainly due to the different timing of deliveries; the Italian market confirms its weakness, mainly in secondary cities.
In the rest of Europe, the Group's revenues totalled 119.3 million euros, broadly in line with the first half of 2016. The retail network posted positive results; on the contrary, the wholesale performance was
affected by the already commented cautious approach taken by the Group toward some independent clients.
In the Americas sales amounted to 40.5 million euros, down 16.9% from the first half of 2016. The trend commented in the first quarter was confirmed; the market remains weak: the retail is still suffering from lower traffic in the stores and the wholesale is affected by the difficulties faced by major department stores.
The Group's revenues in Greater China totalled 108.5 million euros, up 1.4% from the first half of 2016. Mainland China registered positive results; Hong Kong is showing timid signs of improvement.
Finally, in the area "Rest of the World" the Group's sales were 69.3 million euros, down 5.1% from the first half of 2016. Japan posted positive results, while the sales performance in Korea was negatively affected by international political tensions.
In the first half of 2017, sales through DOS totalled 310 .6 million euros, broadly in line with the figure of the same period of 2016. 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, 2016, is -2.7% in the first half of the year, showing a slight improvement as
compared to the first quarter of this year. As of June 30t h, 2017 the Group's distribution network was composed by 270 DOS and 108 franchised stores, compared to 261 DOS and 103 franchised stores as of June 30t h, 2016.
Revenues to third parties totalled 172.4 million euros; the decrease from the first half of 2016 is mainly due to the prudent attitude the Group has maintained toward this channel, also considering the weakness experienced by important markets.
O p e r a t i n g r e s u l t s . EBITDA in H1 2017 totalled 75.7 million euros (86.3 million euros in H1 2016) and it is equivalent to 15.7% of consolidated revenue (H1 2016: 17.3%). Substantially not
significant the effect of exchange rates: EBITDA at constant exchange rate amounted to 75.5 million euros, representing 15.7% of consolidated revenues. Strengthened the profitability at a gross margin level, thus confirming the excellent position of the Group brands in the highest end of the luxury markets and the ability of generating revenue in such product segments and geographical areas where margins are higher. This result, combined with the positive effects of the plan to rationalise structural costs and improve
processes, has successfully limited the impacts on the EBITDA of the physiological increase of operating costs in support of the Group's growth strategies. Lease and rental expenses (leases for locations and royalties for use of licensed brands) totalled 60.4 million euros at June 30t h, 2017 (59.8 million euros at June 30t h, 2016) with a ratio on sales revenue changing from 12% in H1 201 6 to 12.5% in H1 2017 (the increase in the number of DOS recorded in the period from July 201 6 to June 2017 was equal to 9). The personnel costs increased and totalled 96.9 million euros in the first half of year 2017, compared with 94.9 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 and the strengthening of corporate operating functions. At June 30t h, 2017 Group employees were 4,606, 121 and 75 more in respect to December 31s t, 2016 and June 30t h, 2016 respectively. At June 30t h, 2017, employee costs equalled 20.1% of Group revenue, as compared with 19.1% in the first six months of 2016.
The costs for depreciation, amortization and impairment amounted to 22.5 in H1 2017 (23.4 million euros in H1 2016); the ratio on revenue is 4.7% (unchanged in respect to the first half of 2016 when it was 4.7%). Net of additional operating provisions of 0.8 million euros, EBIT in H1 2017 totalled 52.3 million euros (62 million euros at June 30t h, 2016), representing 10.8% of consolidated revenues (12.5% at June 30t h , 2016). The balance of financial income and expenses, which posted a negative value of 5.3 million euros, was affected by the performance
of cross rates of some currencies with which the Group operates. The balance include also financial interests on long term loans for 0.9 million euro s. At June 30t h, 2017, consolidated net profit was equal to 34.4 million euros, against 37.1 million euros at June 30t h of the previous year. At June 30t h 2017 net profit represents the 7.1% of sales revenues (7.5% for the first six months of 2016). Income taxes for the period (including the effects of deferred taxes) totall ed 12 million euros, for a tax rate of 25.8%, lower than in the first half 2016 when it was 31.5%, mainly due to the reduction of the tax rate of the parent company, further to the "Patent box" contribution accrued for the period.
Capital expenditures. Capital expenditure in H1 2017 totalled 16.4 million euros, while they were 18.6 million euros at June 30t h , 2016, net of the price paid for the ROGER VIVIER brand acquisition for 415 million euros.
(*) The data do not include the investment related to the acquisition of ROGER VIVIER brand
Capital expenditures during the period for the DOS network totalled about 9.8 million euro (10.2 million euros in the first half 2016), primarily used for both new DOS openings, among which the most relevant is the first boutique TOD'S in Vienna, 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) and the further development of the company management software, but also the beginning of the works for the construction of the new plant in Arquata del Tronto.
Net financial position (NFP). At June 30t h , 2017, net financial position was negative for 35.5 million euros (substantially unchanged in respect to December 31s t, 2016 when it was negative for 35.4 million euros, while at June 30t h , 2016 it was negative for 112.7 million euros), including liquid assets (cash and bank deposits) for 203.3 million euros, and liabilities for 238.9 million euros, of which 172.4 million euros for long-term exposures.

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, 2017, 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) as amended by Legislative Decree 25/2016 in implementation of Directive 2013/50/UE . The half-year 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 Decembe r 31st, 2016.
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, 2017 (January 1st – June 30t h).
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, 2016
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, 2017.
Following art. 3 of Consob resolution n.18079 dated January 20t h , 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 2016, except for the new standards or interpretations endorsed by the European Union and applicable from 1 January 2017.
Accounting standards, amendments and interpretations endorsed by the European Union, which are applicable from January 1 s t , 2017 and which were first adopted in the TOD'S Group's Condensed Consolidated Half-Year Financial Statements at June 30t h , 2017.
"Annual improvements to IFRS Standards: IFRS 12: "Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities", which were issued by the IASB on December 18t h , 2014. This amendment provides for an investment entity, which prepares the financial statements in which all of its subsidiaries are measured at fair value through profit or loss, to provide the disclosure required for investment entities according to IFRS 12. The application of this standard had no impact on the Group.
Accounting standards, amendments and interpretations endorsed by the European Union, applicable from January 1 s t , 2018, but not early adopted by the TOD'S Group.
IFRS 15 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers. On May 28t h , 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 consi deration 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
1) Identifying the contract with a customer;
2) Identifying the performance obligations;
3) Determining the transaction price;
4) Allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations;
5) Recognising revenue when the entity satisfy a performance obligation.
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 2018, while the European Union endorsed it on September 22n d , 2016. Furthermore, on April 12t h , 2016 the IASB published amendments to the standard: Clarifications to IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which are also applicable as from January 1 st , 2018. These amendments are aimed at clarifying the procedures to identify an entity as a "Principal" or as an "Agent" and to establish whether revenues from licences must be deferred throughout the term thereof.
Based on a preliminary analysis, the future adoption of this standard should not have any significant impact on the Group's financial statements.
IFRS 9 – Financial Instruments. On July 24t h , 2014, the IASB published the final document 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 cas h 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 change in the creditworthiness of the financial liability itself. According to the new standard, these changes must be recogn ised in other comprehensive income, without affecting profit or loss. The main developments relating 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 assessm ent 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, while the European Union endorsed it on November 22n d , 2016. Based on a preliminary analysis, the future adoption of this standard should not have any significant impact on the Group's financial statements.
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.
Amendments to IAS 12: Income taxes. These amendments, which were published by the IASB on January 19t h , 2016, clarify how to account for deferred tax assets relating to debt instruments measured at fair value. The application of this standard had no significant impact on the Group.
Amendments to IAS 7: Statement of Cash Flows. These amendments, which were issued by the IASB on January 29t h, 2016, require information to be provided in the financial statements about changes in financial liabilities, aimed at improving the disclo sures provided to investors in order to help them to better understand the changes recorded in said payables. The application of this standard had no significant impact on the Group.
IFRS 16: Leases: In January 2016 the IASB published a document for the in itial recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of lease agreements for both the parties to a contract, aimed at replacing IAS 17 Leasing. The document is not applicable to service contracts but only to lease agreements or to the leasing components of other contracts. The standard defines the lease as an agreement that transfers the right of use of an asset to the customer (lessee) for a certain period of time and in exchange for a consideration. The new standard eliminates the classification based on finance and operating leases and introduces a single accounting method that provides for the recognition of assets and liabilities for all the leases with a term of more than 12 months and the separate recognition of amortisation, depreciation and i nterest expense through profit or loss. As regards the lessor, no significant changes were made to the accounting method with respect to the provisions that are currently set out under IAS 17. The IASB expects to adopt it from 2019. An internal assessment was started in relation to the major contracts in place, which was aimed at gathering information required to outline their foreseeable effects in financial and economic terms. It is expected a significant impact on Non-current assets and on Financial liabilities of the Group.
Amendments to IFRS 2: Clarifications of Classification and Measurement of Share -based Payment Transactions. These amendments, which were published by the IASB on June 20t h , 2016, provide some clarifications relating to the method of accounting for the effects of vesting conditions in the case of cash-settled share-based payments, the classification of share-based payments on a net settlement basis and the accounting of any change in the terms and conditions of a share-based payment implying its reclassification from cash-settled to equity-settled items. The amendments will become applicable from January 1 st ,2018. Based on a preliminary analysis, the possible future adoption of this standard should not have any significant impact on the Group's financial statements.
Amendments to IFRS 4: Applying IFRS 9 Financial Instruments with IFRS 4 Insurance Contracts. These amendments were issued by the IASB on September 12t h , 2016, with the effective date being expected on January 1 s t , 2018. The amendments were intended to address concerns about the application of IFRS 9 on financial instruments before the introduction of the new insurance contract standards. Furthermore, the amendments provide two options for entities that enter into insurance contracts within the scope of IFRS 4: i) an option that would permit entities to reclassify, from profit or loss to other comprehensive income, some of the income or expenses arising from designated financial assets; and (ii) an temporary exemption from app lying IFRS 9 for entities whose predominant activity is issuing contracts within the scope of IFRS 4. Based on a preliminary analysis, the possible future adoption of this standard should not have any significant impact on the Group's financial statements.
Amendments to IAS 40: regarding transfers of investment property. These amendments were issued by the IASB on December 8 t h , 2016, with the effective date being expected on January 1 st , 2018.The amendment provides as follows: i) paragraph 57 of IAS 40 has been amended to state that an entity shall transfer a property to, or from, investment property when, and only when, there is evidence of a change in use; ii) the list of evidence in paragraph 57(a) – (d) is designated as non-exhaustive list of examples. Based on a preliminary analysis, the possible future adoption of this standard should not have any significant impact on the Group's financial statements.
Amendment to IFRIC 22: Foreign Currency Transactions and Advance Consideration. This interpretation, which was issued by the IASB on December 8 t h , 2016, covers foreign currency transactions when an entity recognises a non-monetary asset or non-monetary liability arising from the payment or receipt of advance consideration before the entity recognises th e related asset, expense or income. The interpretation shall not be applied to income taxes, insurance contracts or reinsurance contracts. The IASB expects to adopt it from January 1 s t , 2018. Based on a preliminary analysis, the possible future adoption of this interpretation should not have any significant impact on the Group's financial statements.
Annual improvements to IFRS Standards: 2014-2016 Cycle. This document was issued by the IASB on December 8 t h , 2016, the effective date being expected on January 1 s t , 2018. This session concerned the following topics: i) IFRS 1: short-term exemptions provided for in paragraphs E3-E7 are eliminated, since the reasons for their provision have ceased to exist; ii) IFRS 12: has been clarified that standard disclosure requirements, with the exception of paragraphs B10 -B16, shall apply to the entities listed in paragraph 5 classified as held for sale, held for distribution or discontinued operations in accordance with IFRS 5 ; iii) IAS 28: it is clarified that it is possible to make the decision to measure, at fair value through profit or loss, any investment in a subsidiary or a joint venture held by a venture capital company, in relation to each investment in subsidiaries or joint ventures since their initial recognition. Based on a preliminary analysis, the possible future adoption of this standard should not have any significant impact on the Group's financial statements.
The standards listed in this paragraph 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 results 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.
Presentation of financial statements dr afted in foreign currency. The rates applied for translation of the financial statements of subsidiaries using a functional currency other than the currency used for consolidation, are illustrated in the following table and compared with those used in the previous period:

4. Seasonal or cyclical nature of interim transactions
TOD'S Group engages in a business that, despite the fact that it is not perfectly homogeneous in the various months of the year in the flow of revenues and costs arising from industrial activity, it does not show any profound seasonal or cyclical variations in overall annual sales.
5. Alternative indicators of performances
In order to purify the results of the first six months of 2017 from the effects of exchange rates fluctuations, compared to the average values for the six months of 2016, the typical economic indicators (Revenues, EBITDA, EBIT) have been restated by applying the average exchange rates for the six months of 2016, thus making them fully comparable with those of the previous comparison 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 revenues and costs flows 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, 2017 changed in respect to June 30t h, 2016 as explained below:
- On May 4t h, 2017 it has been closed the transfer of 100% of shares representing the share capital of TOD'S Brazil Ltda, for a consideration of 2,682 thousand euros. Expenses and income of the transferred entity have been included in the consolidated income statement at June 30t h, 2017 up to March 31 s t, 2017 instead of up to the date of which the loss of control occurred. That did not caused any significant effects on the result for the period ;
- On May 11t h, 2017, the company TOD'S UK Ltd. acquired the additional 50% of company shares representing the share capital of the company Webcover Ltd. (already consolidated with the integral global method), for a consideration paid amounting to 469 thousand GBP. The difference between the consideration paid and the carrying amount of minority interests has been represented as an increase of consolidated equity in accordance with IFRS 3. In connection with the above mentioned acquisition, on May 11 t h, 2017, TOD'S UK Ltd., in addition, acquired 100% of company shares representing the share capital of Buena Ltd., for a consideration paid amounting to 1,600 thousand GBP, referred to the key money related to the store managed by Webcover Ltd.
- During the second half of 2016 the liquidation phase of TOD'S Luxembourg has been completed;
The transactions quoted above are the only changes in the consolidation scope in respect of December 31s t, 2016, with the only exception of the liquidation of TOD'S Luxembourg, already occurred as of December 31s t, 2016.
In order to provide a complete set of information, here below are summarized the economic, financial and patrimonial effects on condensed consolidated half-year financial statements at June 30t h, 2017 related to the transfer of TOD'S Brasil Ltda:
- The consolidated net result from the transfer, represented in the income statement at June 30t h, 2017, computed as a difference between the sale price and the consolidated carrying amount of transferred equity investment, was negative for about 625 thousand euros;
- The effect on consolidated cash flow at June 30t h, 2017 was positive for 945 thousand euros, computed as the difference between the net cash and cash equivalents of the transferred entity and the consideration received.
With respect to companies in which the Group does not hold more than 50% of the capital and consequently has the same percentage of the voting rights exercisable at the Shareholders' Meeting, control is assumed to reflect the fact that the Group has i) power, that is the ability to direct significant activities that have a significant impact on the returns; ii) it is exposed to the
variability of the benefits deriving from the involvement with it and, therefore, iii) exercises the power to gain benefits from its business, as defined by IFRS 10 - Consolidated Financial Statements.
The following list illustrates the entire consolidation scope at June 30 t h, 2017:

7. Segment reporting
The search for higher levels of operating efficiency has identified as key element for maximising profitability via the sharing 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 un ified 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:
Capital expenditures at June 30t h ,2017
Concerning the comparative data of June 30t h, 2016, the tables illustrated above do not include both the amount of the acquired brand ROGER VIVIER (415 million euros) and the tangible and intangible assets of the company Roger Vivier Paris sas (about 3.6 million euros).

8. Management of financial risks
The TOD'S Group has implemented a system for monitoring its financial risks in accordance with the guidelines set out in the Corporate Governance Code of Listed Companies. As part of this policy, the Group constantly monitors the financial risks connected with its operations, in order to assess their potential negative impact and undertake appropriate action to mitigate them.
The following analysis of risks faced by the TOD'S Group highlights the Group's level of exposure : i. Credit risk. This represents the exposure of TOD'S Group to potential losses stemming from default on the obligations assumed by commercial counterparties. For sales to third party customers, the Group adopts a policy aimed at optimizing credit management and reducing associated risk. In particular, it is the policy of the Group, in granting credit limits to customers, to periodically analyse the creditworthiness of all customers, both consolidated and potential, in order to monitor and prevent potential solvency crises.
ii. Liquidity risk. The liquidity risk 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 liquidity of its financial investments and market conditions.
This risk is limited by taking actions aimed at ensuring a balanced structure of the Group's capital and by maintaining such a level of cash and cash equivalents as is required to meet its financial debt requirements at the relevant maturity dates in an adequate manner. Particular attention is paid to the definition of the credit counterparty that is considered to be suitable for cash operations and that is identified according to increasingly selective liquidity, security and yield criteria and in line with the Management's instructions.
In connection with the outstanding loans at June 30 t h, 2017 it's highlighted the following (Note 16):
- syndicated medium/long term loan signed with Mediobanca and Crédit Agricole on 2014, expiring on 2021, shows an outstanding nominal amount for 170 million euros at June 30t h , 2017;
- Medium and long term loan signed with Banca Nazionale del Lavoro S.p.A. on 2015, expiring on 2019, shows an outstanding nominal amount for 12 .5 million euros at June 30t h, 2017;
- Medium and long term loan signed with Intesa San Paolo S.p.A. on 2015, expiring on 2019, shows an outstanding nominal amount for 25 million euros at June 30t h, 2017.
Furthermore, it should be noted that, the Company, in order to borrow the liquid funds needed to meet any possible requirement connected with ordinary sales and general corporate operation, entered into three loan agreements, by which have been granted three medium/long term revolving credit facilities respectively by: i) Crédit Agricole Corporate and Investment Bank and Cassa di Risparmio di Parma e Piacenza S.p.A. (Crédit Agricole Group), signed on January 27 t h 2016, for a maximum amount of 100 million euros, ii) Unicredit S.p.A., signed on November 9 t h 2016, for a maximum amount of 100 million euros and iii) B.N.L. S.p.A., signed on November 28t h 2016, for a maximum amount of 100 million euros. These credit facilities will be available for a period of 3 years. At June 30 t h, 2017 no amount has been used in connection with the above mentioned credit facilities.
Considering the Group profitability and its capacity to generate cash, it is reasonable to believe that liquidity risk is not significant.
Moreover, it should be noted that such capacity of generating cash may allow Group to meet these commitments in a period of time that is potentially shorter than that in which the loans and credit facilities are expected to be available.
Finally, as regards financial operations, the Group's policy is to continue to invest all of its available liquid funds in sight bank deposits or in short-term liquidity, without making use of financial instruments, including those of the money market, and dividing its deposits among an adequate number of banks, which are carefully selected by taking account the level of remuneration offered, in addition to the financial soundness and reliability.
iii.Market risk. IFRS 7 includes in this category all risks that are directly or indirectly connected with the fluctuation in prices on physical and financial markets to which the 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 the production process.
Concerning the above mentioned risks, TOD'S Group is exposed to exchange rate and interest rate risk, since there is no physical market subject to actual fluctuations in the purchase prices for raw materials used in the production process.
Exchange rate risk. Due to its commercial operations, the Group 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 eurozone. The TOD'S Group realises greater revenues than costs in all these currencies; therefore, 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).
Finally, the Group is exposed to "translation risk". This risk stems from the fact that the assets and liabilities of consolidated companies whose functional currency is different from the euro can have different countervalues in euros according to changes in foreign exchange rates. The measured amount of this risk is recognised in the "translation reserve" in equity.
The Group monitors the changes of such exposure. No hedges of this risk existed at the reporting date. Governance of individual foreign currency operations by the Group's subsidiaries is highly simplified by the fact that they are whol ly owned by the parent company.
The Group's risk management policy, in connection to the exchange rate risk on commercial transactions, aims to ensure that the countervalue in euros of receipts on transactions denominated in foreign currencies for each col lection (Spring/Summer and Fall/Winter) is on average equal to or greater than what would be obtained by applying the pre -set target exchange rates. The Group pursues these aims by entering into forward contracts for each individual currency to hedge a specific percentage of the expected revenue (and cost) volumes in the individual currencies other than the functional currency. These positions are not hedged for speculative or trading purposes, consistently with the strategic policies adopted for prudent management of cash flows. Consequently, the Group might forego opportunities to realise certain gains, but it avoids running the risks of speculation.
The Group defines its exchange risk a priori according to the budget for the reference period and then gradually hedges this risk upon acquisition of orders, in the amount according to which they correspond to budget forecasts.
The process of hedging exchange rate risk inside the Group is broken down into a series of activities that can be grouped into the following distinct phases:
- definition of operating limits;
- identification and quantification of exposure;
- implementation of hedges;
- monitoring of positions and alert procedures.
In connection with the exchange rate risk on financial intercompany transa ctions, the Group monitors the risk underlying outstanding transactions (loans) and forecast transactions
(dividends and capital increases), in view of guaranteeing that no material operating and financial impact for the entities involved results from thes e 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.
Interest rate risk. 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 p ursuing the goal of reducing the financial costs involved to a minimum.
The parent company TOD'S S.p.A. has a syndicated loan signed with Mediobanca and Crédite Agricole with variable interest rate equal to EURIBOR 3M + 80 basis points.
To hedge the risk of possible changes in the interest rates on the fin ancing transaction that has already been mentioned, two derivative contracts (interest rate swaps - IRSs), have been signed for a notional amount equal to the amount drawn for the loan (Note 10 ). These derivatives protect the Group from the risk of a generalised rise in interest rates, swapping the variable rate on the loan (3M EURIBOR + 80 basis points) for a contractually fixed rate (a quarterly rate of 0.748%). Such transactions have been recognised in accordance with cash flow hedge methodology provided by IAS39.
In addition to the above mentioned syndicated loan, TOD'S S.p.A. entered into two loan agreements with BNL S.p.A. (BNP Paribas Group) and Intesa San Paolo S.p.A. respectively, for an amount of 25 million euros each; the reimbursements will be respectively in four years with a payment of 16 instalments at the end of every quarter and one-shot with a single payment at the expiry date. Interests rates are variables and equal to the EURIBOR 3m + 0.42% and EURIBOR 3m +0.5% respectively (Note 16). Considered the current financial markets situation and the current EURIBOR reference rate, the Group doesn't believe necessary to put in place hedging derivatives for such loans. The financial market trend and the related benchmark interests rates are constantly monitored by the Group, and, in case there could be an increase of risks in connection with the above mentioned loans, the Group will put in place appropriate hedging instruments in accordance with the strengthened Group practice.
Finally, the financial liabilities (Notes A1 and A2) issued by the subsidiary Holpaf B.V. (Note 16) are subject to a fixed rate of 2.94% and 3.239%, r espectively.
9. Intangible and Tangible fixed assets
Intangible assets with undefined useful life include the values of the Group own brands, for about 553.6 million euros (unchanged in respect to December 31s t, 2016) and value of goodwill, for about 12.2 million euros (unchanged in respect to December 31s t, 2016), 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 7.6 million euros.
Capital expenditure in H1 2017 totalled 16.4 million euros, of which 3.6 million euros of intangible assets and 12.8 million euros of tangible assets. The capital expenditures of the DOS network totalled about 9.8 million euros. This amount was used primarily for both new DOS openings and for renovation activities of the existing stores. The remaining investment quota in the period regarded not only the normal process es of modernising the structures and industrial equipment (mainly lasts and moulds) but also the beginning of the works for the construction of the new plant in Arquata del Tronto, further to the development of the company management software.
10. Derivative financial instruments
At the closing date of the half-year condensed financial statements, the notional amount of the derivative financial instruments for the hedging of exchange rate risk (sale and purchase) entered into by the Group are summarized as follows:
| Currency 000's | Sales | Purchases | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Notional | Notional | Notional | Notional | |
| in currency | in euro | in currency | in euro | |
| US dollar | 30,430 | 26,665 | ||
| HK dollar | 434,200 | 48,749 | ||
| Japanese yen | 1,307,000 | 10,231 | 3,980,000 | 31,155 |
| British pound | 23,500 | 26,725 | ||
| Swiss franc | 9,400 | 8,600 | ||
| Chinese renmimbi | 370,000 | 47,813 | ||
| Singapore dollar | 2,060 | 1,311 | ||
| Euro | 2,500 | 2,500 | 6,269 | 6,269 |
| Canadian dollar | 5,960 | 4,031 | ||
| Australian dollar | 2,600 | 1,751 | ||
| Total | 178,376 | 37,423 |
At each reporting date, the hedge accounting method is applied. This requires recognition of the derivatives in the statement of financial position 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 30 t h, 2017 is classified as Level 2 and has been determined using exchange rate that are quoted in active markets.
At June 30t h, 2017 the net fair value of derivatives used to hedge exchange risks reported is positive, on the whole, for 3,630 thousand euros, i.e. the balance of assets of 5,635 thousand euros (compared to 2,857 thousand euros at December 31s t , 2016) and liabilities of 2,005 thousand euros (compared to 6,140 thousand euros at December 31st, 2016).
At June 30t h , 2017 the reserve for derivatives used to hedge forecast transactions on currencies (i.e. cash flow hedge) was positive for 6,511 thousand euros, net of related tax effect, and it concerns, for 3,387 thousand euros, hedging of business transactions and, for 3,124 thousand euros, hedging of intercompany financial transactions. Such reserve include also a portion accrued for hedging derivatives on intercompany transactions, on contracts already closed at June 30t h, 2017, which will be reversed when hedged items will be realized.
As regards derivatives for the hedging of business transactions, which were closed in the period from January to June 2017, the transfer of the effect of the hedging transactions to the income statement was positive for 637 thousand euros, of which 763 thousand euros were entered as an increase in revenues and 126 thousand euros as an increase of costs.
At June 30t h, 2017 two derivative contracts (interest rate swaps - IRSs) were in place, which were entered into on July 23rd, 2014 to hedge the risk associated with fluctuations in the interest rates on the already commented variable rate loan transaction signed with Mediobanca and Crédit Agricole (Note 16). These derivative contracts, having an overall notional amount equal to the underlying loan, protect the Group from the risk of a generalised rise in interest rates, swapping the variable rate on the loan (EURIBOR 3M + 80 basis points) for a contractually fixed rate (0.748% paid quarterly). At June 30t h, 2017 the fair value of such derivatives, negative for 3,439 thousand euros, has been represented for 1,767 thousand euros in the non-current liabilities in accordance with the period on which the effects wil l be generated. The amount recognised in the financial expenses at June 30t h, 2017 was 630 thousand euros, while the related cash flow hedge reserve, net of tax effect, was negative for 2,354 thousand euros.
11. Share Capital
At June 30t h, 2017, the parent company share capital totalled 66,187,078 euros, and was divided into 33,093,539 shares having a par value of 2 euros each, fully subscribed and paid in. The Group did not own treasury shares in the parent TOD'S S.p.A., and it did not execute any transactions on those shares during the period.
12. Earnings per share
The calculation of base and diluted earnings per share is based on the followings:
i . R e f e r e n c e p r o f i t
| euro 000's | ||
|---|---|---|
| For continuing and discontinued operations | H1 2017 | H1 2016 |
| Profit used to determine basic earning per share | 34,711 | 37,435 |

The impact deriving from change in exchange rates has been negative for 76 thousand euros.
15. Employee benefits
This item mainly consists of post-employment benefits, measured by using the actuarial method of measuring the unit projection of the receivable applied by independent actuaries on the basis of IAS 19, and is mainly represented by the provisions for staff leaving indemnities (TFR) recognised by the Italian companies. The charge for the financial year was recognised under personnel expense.
The main actuarial assumptions used for the valuation at December 31 s t, 2016, unchanged for HY 2017, are summarized below:
Discounting rate: 1.31%
It is related to the average yield curve from IBOXX Eurozone Corporates AA of December 2016.

| Other financial liabilities | Inr | n.a. | 53,500 | 725 | |
| Total financing and other financial liabilities | 221,975 |
The medium and long term bank pool loan is related to the financing agreement signed by TOD'S S.p.A. and Mediobanca/Crédit Agricole which has a variable interest rate equal to EURIBOR 3m + 80 basis points. Such loan was hedged with two derivative contracts (interest rate swaps - IRSs) for the same notional amount and duration (Note 10). The duration of such loan is 7 years from the signing date (July 2014) and it is refunded quarterly.
The medium and long term loans are related to two loan agreements signed in 2 015 between the parent company TOD'S S.p.A. and BNL S.p.A. (BNP Paribas Group) and Intesa San Paolo S.p.A. respectively, for an amount of 25 million euros each; the reimbursements will be respectively in four years with a payment of 16 instalments at the end of every quarter and one-shot with a single payment at the expiry date. Interests rates are variables and equal to the EURIBOR 3m +0.42% and EURIBOR 3m +0.5% respectively.
The above mentioned loans contain, among others obligations, specific financial covenants; in particular, it is requested to respect the following parameters computed at a Group level:
| Bank | Financial covenants | Parameters |
|---|---|---|
| Banca Nazionale del lavoro S.p.A. | Net financial liabilities/EBITDA | ≤ 3.5 |
| Intesa SanPaolo S.p.A. | Net financial liabilities/EBITDA | ≤ 3 |
| Mediobanca/Crédit Agricole | Net financial liabilities/EBITDA | ≤ 3.5 |
The parameters indicated above are constantly monitored by the Group and all financial covenants are fulfilled at June 30t h, 2017.
The financial liabilities indicated as Notes A-1 and A-2 represent two amortised, non-convertible fixed-rate (respectively 2.94% and 3.239%) bonds denominated in JPY, issued in 2006 by the subsidiary Holpaf B.V. to refinance the debt assumed for purchase of the land and construction of the building in Omotesando. The two bonds were fully subscribed by banks, and specifically by Intesa San Paolo (Notes A-1) and Société Européenne de Banque (Notes A-2).
The debt referred to at Notes A-1 and A-2 includes the residual debt for principal (Note A-1: 603 thousand euros, and Note A-2: 13,442 thousand euros) and the interest accrued for the period, 7 thousand euros and 162 thousand euros, respectively, and the effect of fair value measurement upon initial recognition, for 1 thousand euros and 206 thousand euros, respectively, which are measured at amortized cost.
Finally, to be thorough, it is highlighted that TOD'S S.p.A. entered in three loan agreements during 2016 of which details will be provided as follows:
- Crédit Agricole Corporate and Investment Bank and Cassa di Risparmio di Parma e Piacenza S.p.A. (Crédit Agricole Group), signed on January 27 th , 2016, for a long term revolving credit facility (commitment period 3 years) for a maximum amount of 100 million euros. Interest rate is variable and equal to EURIBOR (1m, 3m or 6m depending on the period chosen once the facility will be used) + a variable margin, depending on the net financial indebtedness/EBITDA ratio, which goes from 60 basis points to a maximum of 80 basis points;
- ii) Unicredit S.p.A., signed on November 9t h , 2016, for a long term revolving credit facility (commitment period 3 years) for a maximum amount of 100 million euros.

- iii) B.N.L. S.p.A., signed on November 28t h , 2016, for a long term revolving credit facility (commitment period 3 years) for a maximum amount of 100 million euros. Interest rate is variable and equal to EURIBOR (1m, 3m or 6m depending on the period chosen once the facility will be used) + 60 basis points.
At June 30 t h, 2017 no amount has been used in connection with the above mentioned credit facilities.
17. Transactions with related parties
The Group's related parties transactions were executed in compliance with the procedural sequence and implementing procedures set out in the Related Parties Transactions Procedure approved by the TOD'S S.p.A. Board of Directors in implementation of the Related Partie s Regulation adopted by CONSOB with Resolution no. 17221 of March 12 t h , 2010, as subsequently amended. In accordance with market best practices, significant related party transactions are subject to an in-depth review involving, inter alia:
(i) complete, prompt transmission of material information to the delegated Board of Directors committees (the Control and Risk Committee and the Independent Directors Committee, each within the ambit of their delegated responsibilities, where the majority or all members of these committees are independent directors), who in the performance of their functions also avail themselves of the assistance of independent experts;
(ii) the issuance of an opinion (either binding or non -binding, as applicable) before approval of the transaction by the Board of Directors (or, if appropriate, by the body delegated to resolve on the transaction). All transactions – which are connected with the normal operations of TOD'S Group companies – were executed solely on behalf of the Group by a pplying contractual conditions consistent with those that can theoretically be obtained on an arm's length basis.
Transactions concluded during the period.
On June 29t h , 2017, the strategic partnership in place with the company Italiantouch S.r.l., a company headed by Directors Diego Della Valle and Andrea Della Valle and controlled by the first, was renewed for another five years, with the aim of developing the Group's e -commerce channel. The agreement relates to the sale of products relating to all four Group trademarks through the partner's e-commerce platform and envisages the development of markets already launched under the scope of the previous agreement and the implementation of the channel in new geographic areas.
Moreover, in continuation of contractual relationship already existing in 2016, during the first half of 2017, TOD'S Group continued to maintain a series of contractual relationship with related parties (directors/controlling or significant shareholders). The main objects of the transactions were the sale of products, lease of sales spaces, show rooms and offices and the provision of advertising services.
