Independent auditors' report pursuant to article 14 of Legislative decree no. 39 of 27 January 2010 and article 10 of Regulation (EU) no. 537 of 16 April 2014

To the shareholders of Zignago Vetro S.p.A.

Report on the audit of the consolidated financial statements

Opinion

We have audited the consolidated financial statements of the Zignago Vetro Group (the "Group"), which comprise the statement of financial position as at 31 December 2020, the income statement and statements of other comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the year then ended and notes thereto, which include a summary of the significant accounting policies.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial position of the Zignago Vetro Group as at 31 December 2020 and of its financial performance and cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards endorsed by the European Union and the Italian regulations implementing article 9 of Legislative decree no. 38/05.

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISA Italia). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the "Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements" section of our report. We are independent of Zignago Vetro S.p.A. (the "Company") in accordance with the ethics and independence rules and standards applicable in Italy to audits of financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current year.

These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Recoverability of the investment in Vetri Speciali S.p.A.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements: section "Accounting policies - Interests in joint ventures" and note "4 - Equity-accounted investments"

Key audit matter Audit procedures addressing the key
audit matter
The consolidated financial statements at 31
December 2020 include equity-accounted
investments of €89.8 million, comprising the
investment of €87.6 million in the joint
venture Vetri Speciali S.p.A. (the "joint
venture"), which is 50% held by the
Company.
Our audit procedures included:
- understanding the process adopted to
test the joint venture's goodwill for
impairment;
understanding the process adopted to
The joint venture's equity used for its
measurement includes goodwill attributable
to the Company of €49.6 million.
prepare the 2021-2025 business plan
approved by the joint venture's board of
directors (the "2021-2025 plan") from
which the expected cash flows used for
impairment testing have been derived;
analysing the reasonableness of the
assumptions used by the joint venture's
directors to prepare the 2021-2025 plan;
- checking the actual figures at 31
December 2020, including the work
The joint venture calculated the recoverable
amount of goodwill by estimating its value in
use, using a method that discounts its
expected cash flows. The model is very
complex and entails the use of estimates
which, by their very nature, are uncertain and
subjective, about:
- the expected cash flows, calculated by
taking into account the general economic
performance and that of the joint
venture's sector, the actual cash flows
for recent years and the projected growth
rates;
performed by the joint venture's auditors;
- checking any discrepancies between the
previous year business plans' figures
and actual figures, in order to check the
accuracy of the joint ventures' directors'
estimation process .;
- the parameters used to calculate the
discount rate.
For the above reasons, we believe that
recoverability of the investment in Vetri
Speciali S.p.A. is a key audit matter.
comparing the cash flows used for
impairment testing to the cash flows
forecast in the joint venture's 2021-2025
plan and analysing any discrepancies;
- involving experts of the KPMG network
in the assessment of the
reasonableness of the impairment
testing model and related assumptions,
including by means of comparison with
external data and information;
- assessing the appropriateness of the
disclosures provided in the notes about
the measurement of the investment in
Votri Sneciali Sn A

Measurement of inventories

Notes to the consolidated financial statements: section "Accounting policies -Inventories" and note 8 "Inventories"

Key audit matter Audit procedures addressing the key
audit matter
The consolidated financial statements at 31
December 2020 include inventories of €95.8
Our audit procedures included:
million, net of the allowance for inventory
write-down of €12.5 million.
understanding the process for the
measurement of inventories and the
related IT environment and assessing
the design and implementation of
controls and procedures to assess the
operating effectiveness of material
controls:
Determining the allowance for finished
product write-down is a complex accounting
estimate, entailing a high level of judgement
as it is affected by many factors, including:
- the characteristics of the group's
business segment;
checking any discrepancies between the
previous years' forecast and actual
inventory write-downs and losses, in
order to check the accuracy of the joint
ventures' directors' estimation process;
- the subjectivity inherent in a specific
batch measurement method;
slow-moving issues; analysing the reasonableness of the
assumptions used to measure the
allowance for inventory write-down
through discussion with the relevant
the products' strong customisation.
For the above reasons, we believe that the
measurement of inventories is a key audit
matter.
internal departments and checks of the
supporting documentation; comparing
the assumptions with historical figures
and our knowledge of the Group and its
operating environment;
assessing the appropriateness of the
disclosures provided in the notes about
inventories.

Responsibilities of the directors and board of statutory auditors ("Collegio Sindacale") of Zignago Vetro S.p.A. for the consolidated financial statements

The directors are responsible for the preparation of consolidated financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards endorsed by the European Union and the Italian regulations implementing article 9 of Legislative decree no. 38/05 and, within the terms established by the Italian law, for such internal control as they determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

The directors are responsible for assessing the Group's ability to continue as a going concern and for the appropriate use of the going concern basis in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements and for the adequacy of the related disclosures. The use of this basis of accounting is appropriate unless the directors believe that the conditions for liquidating the Company or ceasing operations exist, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

The Collegio Sindacale is responsible for overseeing, within the terms established by the Italian law, the Group's financial reporting process.

Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors' report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISA Italia will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with ISA Italia, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  • identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control;
  • obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design 1 audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group's internal control;
  • evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the directors;
  • conclude on the appropriateness of the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors' report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors' report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern;
  • evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation;
  • obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

We communicate with those charged with governance, identified at the appropriate level required by ISA Italia, regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with the ethics and independence rules and standards applicable in Italy and communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current year and are, therefore, the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors' report.
