Outlook 2019

Cambiano, 5 August 2019- The Board of Directors of Pininfarina S.p.A., chaired by Paolo Pininfarina, met today and approved the Group's interim financial report at 30 June 2019. The key financial figures of the Pininfarina Group as at the first six months of 2019 and 2018 are as follows:

* Variations in the statement of financial position figures relate to the corresponding figures at 31 December 2018.

EBITDA is the operating profit or loss gross of amortisation, depreciation and provisions. EBIT is the operating profit or loss.

Pursuant to article 154-bis. 2 of the Consolidated finance act, the manager in charge of financial reporting, Gianfranco Albertini, states that the financial disclosures provided in this press release are consistent with the relevant documentation, ledgers and accounting records.

The most significant issues that arise from a comparison of the H1 2019 and H1 2018 consolidated financial figures include the decrease in revenue - mainly dependent on the effects of the suspension of some orders

  • and the decline in financial margins (the operating result and the net result for the period both closed negative). Equity at the reporting date, compared to the figure as at 31 December 2018, decreased due substantially to the result for the period. The recorded net financial position changed sign and became negative mainly due to the effect induced by the adoption of the new international accounting standard IFRS 16 (effective from 1 January 2019) which provided for the recording of a financial liability equal to the discounted value of the contracts of rent or lease in force (right of use). Specifically:
    • the revenue decreased overall by 16%, compared to the figures as at 30 June 2018, the design sector dropped by 10% while the engineering sector fell by 23%. Within the sectors and according to geographical areas, design activities in Italy and U.S.A. decreased while those carried out in China increased. Regarding engineering sector, the activities in Italy are contracted while those realized in Germany increased;
    • the gross operating profit has fallen sharply compared to the first half of 2018, due to the lower value of production and the reduction in prices applicable in the reference markets, still remained positive thanks to the contribution of engineering activities in Italy and Germany and to design activities in China;
    • at the reporting date the reduction in the gross operating profit and the presence of higher provisions influenced the operating result for the period, which was negative;

  • net financial expense, mainly composed of notional charges, decreased by more than 60% thanks to the positive performance of the managed cash that has generated a positive result arising from changes in the fair value at the reporting date;
  • As a result of the above mentioned figures, the result for the period recorded a loss of € 2.6 million compared to the net profit of € 3.1 million for the first half of 2018.

The net financial position was negative for € 7.3 million compared to the positive figure of € 5.2 million at 31 December 2018 (positive value of € 3.8 million at 30 June 2018). It should be noted that, in the absence of the accounting effects induced by the above-mentioned international accounting standard IFRS 16, the net financial position at 30 June 2019 would have been negative for € 0.3 million.

Equity at the reporting date decreased to € 59.3 million (€ 62.3 million for the first half of 2018) compared to € 61.7 million at 31 December 2018, mainly due to the net loss for the period.

The headcount increased by 10% (+ 63 units) from 626 at 30 June 2018 to 689 at the reporting date.

The key financial figures of the parent, Pininfarina S.p.A., are summarised below:

COMUNICATO STAMPA

Outlook for 2019

On the basis of the final data for the H1 2019 and the projections to finish the current year, it is expected for the entire 2019 financial year: a decrease in the value of production by about 10% compared to 2018 financial year and a negative operating result while the reduction in gross debt is confirmed.

The previous expectations, released on the occasion of the approval of the 31 March 2019 data, were the following: "The Group is expected to consolidate the results achieved for 2018, although with reduced revenue and operating profit. It still plans to reduce its gross financial debt.".
