EBITDA is represented by operating profit before provisions and depreciation. EBITDA thus defined is a measure used by management to monitor and evaluate the operational performance and is not identified as an accounting measure under both Italian Accounting Principles and IFRS and therefore should not be considered an alternative measure for evaluating the Group's results. Since EBITDA is not regulated by applicable accounting standards, the criteria used by the Group might not be consistent with that adopted by others and therefore may not be comparable.

Aeffe Group

Interim management report

1. SUMMARY OF THE GROUP'S KEY ACTIVITIES

Aeffe Group operates worldwide in the fashion and luxury goods sector and is active in the design, production and distribution of a wide range of products that includes prêt-a-porter, footwear and leather goods. The Group develops, produces and distributes, with a constant focus on the qualities of uniqueness and exclusivity, its own collections both under its own-label brands, including "Alberta Ferretti", "Philosophy di Lorenzo Serafini", "Moschino" and "Pollini", and under licensed brands. The Group has also licensed to key partners the production and distribution of other accessories and products with which it supplements its product range (perfumes, junior and children's lines, watches, sunglasses and other).

The Group's business is divided, based on the various product lines and brands it sells, into two segments: (i) prêt-a-porter (which includes prêt-a-porter lines, lingerie and swimwear); and (ii) footwear and leather goods.

Prêt-a-porter Division

The Prêt-a-porter Division, which is composed of the companies Aeffe, Moschino and Velmar, is mainly involved in the design, production and distribution of luxury prêt-a-porter garments and lingerie, beachwear and loungewear.

In terms of the prêt-a-porter collections, the activity is carried out by Aeffe, both for the production of the Group's proprietary brands ("Alberta Ferretti", "Philosophy di Lorenzo Serafini", "Moschino", "Boutique Moschino" and "Love Moschino") and brands licensed from other companies. Aeffe also handles the distribution of all Division products both through the retail channel (via subsidiaries) and through the wholesale channel.

Velmar manufactures and distributes lingerie and swimwear collections, and specifically men's/women's lingerie, underwear, beachwear and loungewear. Collections are produced and distributed under the Group's proprietary brands, as "Moschino", and under third-party licensed brands.

The Prêt-a-porter Division also manages licensing agreements granted to other companies to manufacture Aeffe and Moschino branded product lines such as the "Moschino" brand licensing agreement relating to the Love line, "Moschino" branded perfumes and "Moschino" branded sunglasses.

Aeffe

Aeffe is the brainchild of designer Alberta Ferretti, who set up her own business in 1972. The history of the Parent Company has developed in parallel with that of its founder, whose personal involvement in fashion has been a key factor in Aeffe's development.

The growth of the Parent Company as an industrial and creative entity has been distinguished from the start by a multi-brand approach, with Aeffe producing and distributing the prêt-a-porter collections of leading fashion houses utilising the know-how acquired in the production of luxury prêt-a-porter lines.

This provides the context for the partnership between Aeffe and designer Franco Moschino, whose brand "Moschino Couture!" it has produced and distributed under an exclusive licence since 1983.

Between 1995 and 2013, Aeffe worked with designer Jean Paul Gaultier producing and distributing the women prêt-à-porter collections branded "Jean Paul Gaultier".

In 2001, Aeffe gained control of Pollini, an established manufacturer of footwear and leather goods. This allowed Aeffe to supplement the collections produced in-house with an accessories line.

In 2002, Aeffe took over Velmar, a firm that had collaborated with Aeffe for some time on the production and distribution of lingerie, beachwear and loungewear lines.

In 2007, Aeffe, obtained the Consob Nulla Osta to public the offering memorandum relating to the Public Offering and the listing on the MTA - Star Segment - of Aeffe S.p.A. ordinary shares, closes successfully the Offer of shares and starts to be traded on the MTA - Star Segment - by Borsa Italiana.

Moschino

Moschino was founded in 1983 and grew during the 1990s to become an internationally renowned brand. Following the disappearance in 1994 of its founder, Franco Moschino, his family, staff and friends have kept the designer's legacy alive, respecting his creative identity and philosophy. Rossella Jardini, who has worked for Franco Moschino since 1981, succeeded him as artistic director and becoming in charge of brand image and styling.

The company provides design, marketing and agency services from the Milan showroom for Moschino collections in Italy and overseas.

The company also directly manages five single-brand Moschino stores, two in Milan, one in Rome, one in Capri and on-line.

In 2013 Jeremy Scott was appointed as creative director of the "Moschino" brand.

Velmar

Velmar was created in 1983 in San Giovanni in Marignano and is active in the production and distribution of lingerie, underwear, beachwear and loungewear.

In 1990, a partnership began between Velmar and designer Anna Molinari to manufacture lingerie and beachwear lines. That same year, talks began with Aeffe and Genny.

Between 1990 and 1995, Velmar worked with Genny and Fendi, producing all of the swimwear lines designed by the two fashion houses. Between 1990 and 2001, Velmar worked with Itierre and Prada on the design and production of the active and sportswear lines sold under the "Extee" and "Prada" menswear labels.

Between 1995 and 1998, Velmar produced and distributed under licence the beachwear line for Byblos menswear and womenswear.

In 1998, Velmar signed a licensing agreement with Blufin for the production and distribution of "Blugirl" lines.

In 2001, Aeffe acquired 75% of Velmar. Again, this represented a natural progression of the existing partnership between the two companies.

In 2006, Velmar obtained a licence for the production and distribution of the men's beachwear and underwear lines and women's lingerie lines under the "Moschino" brand.

In 2010, Aeffe acquires the remaining 25% of Velmar's share capital.

The footwear and leather goods division also manages licensing agreements granted to other companies to manufacture "Pollini" products such as umbrellas, foulards and ties.

Pollini

Pollini was established in 1953 in the shoemaking district of San Mauro Pascoli, following in the Italian tradition of handmade leather goods and shoes. Italy is a leading producer of footwear: due to expertise required to make these products, nearly all production sites are located in areas with a long-standing shoemaking tradition, such as San Mauro Pascoli, Vigevano and Strà (PD). The company's philosophy is focused on promoting Pollini in other countries as an amalgam of traditional quality and Italian style, offering a range of products that include shoes, bags and matching accessories.

Between 1957 and 1961, Pollini produced the footwear collections of the designer Bruno Magli.

In the 1960s and early 1970s, Pollini began making shoes under its own label, presenting "themed" collections (such as the "Daytona" sports footwear collection, inspired by the world of motorbike racing).

In the 1970s, Pollini rose to international fame: at that point, its collections were shown in Düsseldorf, Paris and New York, as well as in Milan and Bologna. Around the same time, the first stores opened in Milan, Verona, Varese and Venice.

In 1989, Pollini moved into its new office in Gatteo, in the Italian province of Forlì-Cesena. The new site measures 50,000 sq. m., just over a third of it indoor, with a production workshop and seven-storey building housing the showroom and offices. The new site brought the footwear and leather goods divisions and sales and administration offices under one roof.

In 2001, Aeffe and Pollini reached an agreement whereby Aeffe would acquire a controlling stake in Pollini. The acquisition was a natural progression of the increasingly concentrated partnership between the two companies, enabling the growth of the footwear and leather goods lines designed by Alberta Ferretti.

Always in 2008, Pollini has entered into new license agreements with Drops S.r.l., for the manufacturing of umbrellas, as well as Larioseta S.p.A., for the manufacturing and distribution of neckwear, including women's shawls, women's and men's scarves and ties.

SALES

In the first semester of 2020, Aeffe consolidated revenues amount to EUR 118,862 thousand compared to EUR 173,301 thousand in the first semester of 2019, with a 31.4% decrease at current exchange rates (same variation at constant exchange rates).

The trend of the first semester of the year has been penalized by the rapid spread of the Covid-19 pandemic and the consequent rigorous measures adopted by the various countries in terms of bans and suspension of international traffic of people and non-essential activities; these restrictions concerned both the Group's directly operated stores and the wholesale distribution, with negative effects on both channels.

The revenues of the prêt-à-porter division decrease by 33.0% to EUR 88,630 thousand.

The revenues of the footwear and leather goods division decrease by 21.4% to EUR 47,691 thousand.

In the 1Half 2020 all geographic areas recorded a decline.

In 1H 2020, sales in the Italian market decreased by 34.2% to EUR 52,704 thousand compared to 1H 2019, driven by both the wholesale and retail channels, which all suffered from the rigid measures to contrast the spread of the pandemic in terms of suspension of non-essential activities. The Italian market amounted to 44.3% of consolidated sales; that incidence decreased to 36% net of the effect of sales to foreign customers registered on the national territory.

At constant exchange rates, in 1H 2020, sales in Europe, contributing to 31.2% of consolidated sales, decreased by 4%; UK and Germany outperformed the average of the area. Both distribution channels were impacted by the emergency effects due to the pandemic.

In Asia and in the Rest of the World, the Group's sales totalled EUR 24,901 thousand, amounting to 20.9% of consolidated sales, recording a decrease of 45.3% at constant exchange rates compared to 1H 2019. The Far East area has been hardly impacted by the restrictions imposed to limit the virus, while Middle East has experienced a less significant drop. The Greater China area reported a 44% decrease over the period; in the last few weeks the region has recorded positive signs in terms of sales and traffic in the stores, showing a clear recovery trend.

Sales in America, contributing to 3.6% of consolidated sales, posted a decrease of 54.0% at constant exchange rates; the Covid-19 impact has involved both the retail and the wholesale channels.

By distribution channel, in 1H20 all distribution channels were affected by the effects of the spread of Covid- 19.

The wholesale channel, contributing to 73.0% of consolidated sales, recorded a 28.3% decrease both at constant and current exchange rates, due both to lower sales compared to orders backlog of the Spring/Summer 2020 collections and to the postponement of shipments of the Autumn / Winter 2020 collections to the second half of the year.

The sales of directly-operated stores (DOS), equal to 22.8% of consolidated sales, after a positive start of the year in all main markets, suffered the effects of the progressive restrictions on the international circulation of people and on operations of non-essential activities adopted by the various countries where the Group operates. In 1H 2020 the retail channel decreased by 41.3% at constant exchange rates compared with 1H 2019, reflecting the closure of stores for most of the second quarter of the year. Following the reopenings, the trend of the stores is showing signs of improvement, while continuing to suffer from limited tourist flows due to travel restrictions still in place. On the other hand, the online sales recorded a good trend in the period.

Royalty incomes decreased by 19.0% compared to 1H 2019 and represented 4.2% of consolidated sales.

LABOUR COSTS

Labour costs decrease from EUR 35,880 thousand in 1H 2019 to EUR 29,509 thousand in 1H 2020 with an incidence on revenues which increase from 20.7% in the first semester 2019 to 24.8% in the first semester 2020.

The workforce increases from an average of 1,347 units in the 1H 2019 to 1,352 units in the 1H 2020.

GROSS OPERATING MARGIN (EBITDA)

In 1H 2020 consolidated EBITDA is EUR 572 thousand (with an incidence of 0.5% of sales) compared to EUR 26,675 thousand in 1H 2019 (with an incidence of 15.4% of sales), with a decrease of EUR 26,103 thousand (- 97.9%).

The significant decline in margins is directly referred to the sales decrease in both wholesale and retail channels across all geographies where the Group operates, because of the Covid-19 pandemic, as described above. However, in the first semester, the marginality benefited, for the corresponding period of time, from positive results in terms of costs efficiency, most of which already accounted since the second quarter of the

year, deriving from the actions taken to face the global consequences of the virus spread.. Cost savings have affected various types of expenditure closely related to the economic situation of the health emergency, mainly including personnel costs, rent and travel costs and overheads.

In 1H 2020 Ebitda of the prêt-à-porter division was substantially in balance amounting to EUR 7 thousands, compared to EUR 19,974 thousand in 1H 2019, the change was due to the sales decline.

Ebitda of the footwear and leather goods division amounted to EUR 565 thousand (1.2% of sales) compared to a EUR 6,701 thousand 1H 2019 (11.0% of sales), with a EUR 6,136 thousand decrease due to the sales decline.

NET OPERATING PROFIT / LOSS (EBIT)

Consolidated EBIT is negative for EUR 12,813 thousand compared to EUR 13,208 thousand positive in 1H 2019, showing a decrease of EUR 26,021 thousand.

PROFIT / LOSS BEFORE TAXES

The result before taxes amounts to a loss of EUR 12,473 thousand compared with a profit of EUR 11,540 thousand in the first semester 2019, with a EUR 24,013 thousand decrease.

NET PROFIT / LOSS FOR THE GROUP

The net result for the Group changes from a profit of EUR 5,114 thousand in 1H 2019 to a loss of EUR 10,900 thousand in 1H 2020, with a decrease in absolute value of EUR 16,014 thousand.

NET INVESTED CAPITAL

Compared to December 31, 2019, net invested capital increased by 0.7%.

NET WORKING CAPITAL

Net working capital amounts to EUR 117,504 thousand (39.6% of LTM sales) compared with EUR 107,170 thousand of December 31, 2019 (30.5% of sales).

The changes in the main items included in the net working capital are described below:

Operating net working capital (EUR 90,433 thousand) increases of EUR 11,158 thousand compared with the value at December 31, 2019 (EUR 79,275 thousand). The higher incidence is mainly attributable to higher inventories of finished products following the slowdown of the Spring/Summer 2020 and Autumn/Winter 2020 collections deliveries in the first semester;
the sum of other short term receivables and payables decrease of EUR 2,805 thousand mainly due to reduction of credits for prepaid costs and of prepayments and accrued income;
the net effect of tax receivables/payables increases net working capital of EUR 2,007 thousand, mainly determined by the increase of VAT receivable.

FIXED ASSETS

The variation in fixed assets of EUR 10,443 thousand to June 30, 2020 from December 31, 2019, is due to the amortisation of the period and to the capex made during the first half 2020, equal to EUR 2,681 thousand mainly related to the completion of a new warehouse.

NET FINANCIAL POSITION

The increase in the net financial position, net of the application of IFRS 16, amounts to EUR 23,109 thousand, rising from EUR 39,410 thousand at December 31, 2019 to EUR 62,519 thousand at June 30, 2020. The financial debt increase mainly refers to the raise in working capital.

SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY

The shareholders' equity decreases for EUR 13,074 thousand from EUR 204,075 thousand as of December 31, 2019 to EUR 191,001 thousand as of June 30, 2020.

The number of shares is 107,362,504.

4. RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES

Considering the particular nature of the Group's products, research & development activities consist in the continual technical/stylistic renewal of models and the constant improvement of the materials employed in production. Such costs were charged in full to the Income Statement.

5. TRANSACTIONS BETWEEN GROUP COMPANIES AND WITH RELATED PARTIES

During the period, there were no transactions with related parties, including intragroup transactions, which qualified as unusual or atypical. Any related party transactions formed part of the normal business activities of companies in the Group. Such transactions are concluded at standard market terms for the nature of goods and/or services offered. Information on transactions with related parties, including specific disclosures required by the Consob Communication of July 28, 2006, is provided in Note "Related party transactions".

6. SIGNIFICANT EVENTS SUBSEQUENT TO THE BALANCE SHEET DATE

Subsequent to the balance sheet date no significant events regarding the Group's activities have to be reported.

7. OUTLOOK

The current international macroeconomic scenario remains complicated and the high uncertainty in terms of duration and intensity of the economic and social consequences associated with the Covid-19 coronavirus pandemic makes it difficult to make predictions about the related impacts for the year 2020. AEFFE has adopted promptly measures to deal with the situation by limiting the negative effects, through a particularly accurate management of commercial relations with customers and the adoption of well-thought-out measures aimed at postponing costs without causing any prejudice for the strengthening and support of its brands.

The Company also confirms its commitment to implement the strategy aimed at improving the strategic positioning of its collections and the continuous strengthening of brands. Particularly important are the actions implemented for the enhancement of digital activities in support of the online business and remote digital communication through the adoption of new technologies such as the virtual showroom to remotely present the new collections to buyers and operators in the sector.

8. INTERNATIONAL MACROECONOMIC SITUATION

According to the World Economic Outlook (WEO) of the International Monetary Fund published in June 2020, global growth is expected to be negative by around 5% in 2020.

The effects of the pandemic, which is slowing down in Europe and intensifying in emerging countries and in the United States, weigh on the global economy. International trade has dropped significantly.

The deterioration in the economic environment has mainly resulted from lockdown measures and restrictions on the movement of people and goods, measures that have profoundly affected international trade, consumer spending and confidence, production processes and corporate liquidity. The support measures put in place by the governments of the various countries affected by the pandemic have contributed to limiting the impact of the crisis, without however avoiding the international economic recession in the short term. Since the virus is still in circulation, it is difficult to predict the trend in the second half of 2020.

For advanced economies, an 8% contraction is expected in 2020, while a growth of 4.8% is estimated in 2021. In China, where recovery is already underway, 2020 should end with a 1% growth.

9. MACROECONOMIC BACKGROUND TO THE CLOTHING SECTOR

The luxury industry has been strongly influenced by the current difficult macroeconomic context that has impacted the purchasing power and the propensity to consume of customers. The sector has also been severely affected by the restrictions on international travel, with the consequent general collapse of tourist flows.

The situation remains evolving and is causing a significant generalized effect on tourism and sales. Growth is still exposed to significant risks.

10. ACTIONS ADOPTED BY THE GROUP TO FACE THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC EFFECTS AND BUSINESS UPDATE

The containment measures adopted worldwide to combat the spread of the pandemic from Covid-19 had an important impact on the Group's results as at 30.6.2020, as for the whole luxury sector.

The closure of the shops and the blocking of non-essential people and activities due to the lockdown to international traffic led to a decrease in revenues compared to the first half of 2019 and the consequent drop in profitability at the group level.

The aforementioned pandemic has caused great uncertainty in terms of duration and intensity of the related economic and social consequences and it is still difficult to precisely quantify their impact for the full year 2020.

AEFFE has taken timely measures deemed of fundamental importance for the Group's long-term interest and to meet the challenges of the current international situation.

In this highly uncertain context, the primary objective of the Group is to protect the safety and the health of its employees, partners and clients. In this regard, the Group has urgently and responsibly adopted all the security measures and protocols introduced by the authorities in the various countries, while ensuring the continuity of the business operations adopting smart-working solutions, when possible.

The corrective measures taken by the Group are part of an ad hoc plan designed to effectively and efficiently contrast the negative effects of the global emergence of the Covid-19 coronavirus and to protect the economic and financial resilience of the business.

On the costs side, the activities are focused on: 1) strong attention to all organizational levels in terms of cost savings that are not prejudicial to the support and development of the group's brands, with a view to long- term planning that makes the various business processes more efficient and with benefits not only for the current year but also for the coming years; 2) requests for reduction of rents for stores and offices; 2) use of government retention scheme and accrued holidays to make labour costs more flexible up to the reopening of shops and the complete resumption of production processes; 4) postponement of costs for advertising and public relations which are not prejudicial to the strengthening and support of the brands; 5) request of all foreseen government grants and subsides, in all the countries where the Group operates, to face the pandemic effects.

In terms of sales, the actions adopted aim to: 1) carefully manage the relations with the main commercial partners, especially in the Far East area, supporting them as much as possible; 2) enhance digital activities to support the online business, customer care in particular, through the reallocation of human resources and time for the development of technologies and tools able to satisfy customers' needs for a more and more personalized customer experience. For some stores, streaming shopping technology has been introduced with 3D glasses worn by vendors in connection with their customers, allowing them to live a very high level virtual shopping experience; 3) enhance the remote digital communication through the adoption of innovative digital technologies, such as the virtual showroom to present the new collections remotely to buyers and sector's operators.

In terms of offering, the constant commitment of creative resources to enrich their collections of garments and accessories increasingly desirable and suitable to meet the changing needs of customers following the spread of Covid-19 is highlighted.

Despite the temporary interruption of the activities for the international health emergency, the optimal management of the supply chain allowed the production of samples of the pre-collection for the Spring / Summer 2021 season and the production of the Autumn/Winter 2020 collections within the scheduled times, without any prejudice to the regular resumption of all company processes as soon as permitted by the provisions issued by the public authorities.

With regards to financial position, the Group has available bank credit lines that are absolutely adequate to face the difficult economic situation and to honour regularly all its commitments; in this regards, it is of primary importance to underline that the percentage of available credit lines used by the Group is about 30% of the total available, well below the maximum usable limit at disposal. Over the first half of 2020, medium/long-term unsecured loans for over 35 million euros were obtained, of which 20 million guaranteed by Mediocredito Centrale as part of the Relaunch Decree issued by the Italian State. With regards to trade receivables, there was no increase in the relative risk which is minimised both through the stipulation of credit insurance contracts and through a careful monitoring strategy managed at Group level.

The assumptions and estimates used for the preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements have been reviewed in light of the difficult economic situation created by the pandemic. With reference to the valuation of intangible assets: The international accounting standard IAS 36 requires that the impairment test be carried out more frequently in the presence of indicators of impairment ("triggering events"). The Covid-19 pandemic is to be considered an extraordinary event that requires assessments in relation to the risk that the book values of the intangible assets may have suffered such lasting losses in value.

The impairment tests relating to brands and key money were carried out with reference to 31 December 2020, in a scenario that incorporated the expected negative economic and financial effects, and did not reveal any impairment losses.

The tests carried out showed that the impact of the pandemic on the recoverable values of the brands and key money is limited and in any case included in the scenarios envisaged for the usual sensitivity analyzes. It follows that in this Interim Management Report, the values of the intangible assets recorded at 31 December 2019 are confirmed net of the related amortization charges for the period.

Explanatory notes

GENERAL INFORMATION

Aeffe Group operates worldwide in the luxury goods sector and is active in the design, production and distribution of a wide range of products that includes prêt-a-porter, footwear and leather goods.

The Group develops, produces and distributes, with a constant focus on the qualities of uniqueness and exclusivity, its own collections both under its own-label brands, including "Alberta Ferretti", "Philosophy di Lorenzo Serafini", "Moschino" and "Pollini", and licensed brands.

The Group also has licensed to key partners the production and distribution of other accessories and products with which it supplements its product range (perfumes, junior and children's lines, watches, sunglasses and other).

The Group's business is divided, based on the various product lines and brands it sells, into two segments: prêt-a-porter (which includes prêt-a-porter, lingerie and swimwear) and footwear and leather goods.

The Parent Company Aeffe, an Italian legal entity incorporated as a public limited company (società per azioni) based in San Giovanni in Marignano (RN), is currently listed in the - STAR Segment - of the MTA, the Italian Stock Exchange operated by Borsa Italiana.

Aeffe is controlled by Fratelli Ferretti Holding S.r.l..

These consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Parent Company Aeffe and its subsidiaries and the Group's equity interests in affiliated companies. They consist of the balance sheet, income statement, comprehensive income statement, cash flow statement, statement of changes in equity and these notes.

The financial statements are expressed in euro, since this is the currency in which most of the Group's transactions are conducted. Foreign operations are included in the consolidated financial statements according to the principles stated in the notes that follow.

DECLARATION OF CONFORMITY AND REPORTING PRINCIPLES

The half-year condensed financial statements at June 30, 2020 have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards -"IFRS"- (the designation IFRS also includes all valid International Accounting Standards -"IAS"-, as well as all interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee -"IFRIC"-, formerly the Standing Interpretations Committee -"SIC"-), issued by the International Accounting Standards Board -"IASB"- endorsed by the European Commission according to the procedures in art. 6 of (EC) Regulation n. 1606/2002 of the European Parliament and Council dated July 19, 2002. In particular, these half-year condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with

IAS 34 - Interim Financial Reporting.

In the "Accounting policies" section are showed the international accounting principles adopted.

Unless otherwise indicated in the measurement bases described below, these consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with the historic cost principle.

The measurement bases were applied uniformly by all Group companies.

CONSOLIDATION PRINCIPLES

The scope of consolidation at June 30, 2020 includes the financial statements of the Parent Company Aeffe and those of the Italian and foreign companies in which Aeffe holds control either directly or through its subsidiaries and associates or in which it exerts a dominant influence.

If necessary, adjustments were made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting polices into line with those adopted by the Group.

Companies are consolidated using the line-by-line method. The principles adopted for the application of this method are essentially as follows:

the book value of equity investments held by the Parent Company or other consolidated companies is written-off against the corresponding net equity at June 30, 2020 in relation to assumption of the assets and liabilities of the subsidiaries;
the difference between historical cost and fair value of the net equity of shareholdings on the acquisition date is allocated as much as possible to the assets and liabilities of the shareholdings. The remainder is allocated to goodwill. In accordance with the transitional provisions of IFRS 3, the Group, in case it was present, has ceased to depreciate goodwill, instead subjecting it to impairment tests;
significant transactions between consolidated companies are written-off, as are receivables and payables and earnings not yet realised from third parties arising from transactions between Group companies, excluding any tax effect;
minority interests in shareholders' equity and net profit are reported in the relevant items of the consolidated balance sheet and income statement;
companies acquired during the period are consolidated from the date on which majority control was achieved.

Subsidiaries

Subsidiaries are enterprises controlled by the Company. Control is the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an enterprise so as to obtain benefits from its activities. The financial statements of subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which the Group acquires control and until the date when such control ceases.

The acquisition of subsidiaries is accounted for using the acquisition method. Acquisition cost is determined by adding together the fair values of the assets transferred, the shares issued and the liabilities assumed on the acquisition date, plus the costs directly associated with the acquisition. Any surplus acquisition cost over the Group's percentage share of the fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the associate is recognised as goodwill.

If the Group's percentage share of the fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the associate exceeds acquisition cost, the difference is immediately recorded in the income statement.

Intercompany balances, transactions, revenue and costs are eliminated in the consolidated statements.

Furthermore, intercompany business combinations are recognised by maintaining the same book value of assets and liabilities as previously recorded in the consolidated financial statements.

Associates

An associate is an enterprise in which the Group has significant influence, but has neither sole or joint control, by taking part in decisions regarding the company's financial and operating strategy.

Trading results and the assets and liabilities of associates are accounted for in the consolidated financial statements based on the equity method, except where they are classified as held for sale.

According to this method, equity interests in associates are recorded in the balance sheet at cost, adjusted to take account of changes following the acquisition of their net assets, excluding any loss in value of individual investments. Losses of associates that exceed the Group's percentage interest in them (including long-term receivables that essentially form part of the Group's net investment in the associate) are not recognised unless the Group has an obligation to cover them. The surplus acquisition cost over the parent's percentage share of the present value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the associate on the acquisition date is recognised as goodwill. Goodwill is included in the carrying amount of the investment and

is subjected to impairment tests. The historical cost deficit compared with the Group's percentage share of the fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of associates on the acquisition date is credited to the income statement in the year of acquisition. With reference to operations between a Group company and an associate, unrealised gains and losses are eliminated in equal measure to the Group's percentage interest in the associate, except for cases where the unrealised losses constitute evidence of impairment of the asset transferred.

FOREIGN CURRENCIES

Functional and reporting currency

The amounts in the financial statements of each Group enterprise are measured using the operating currency or the currency of the economic area in which the enterprise operates. These consolidated financial statements are presented in euro, which is the operating and reporting currency of the Parent Company.

Foreign currency transactions

Foreign currency transactions are converted into the operating currency at the exchange rate in force on the transaction date. Cash assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are converted at the exchange rate in force on the balance sheet date. Any exchange rate differences arising from the elimination of these transactions or from the conversion of cash assets and liabilities are posted to the income statement. Non- cash assets and liabilities in foreign currencies that are measured at fair value are converted at the exchange rates in force on the date on which the fair value was determined.

Financial statements of foreign companies

The financial statements of companies outside the euro-zone are translated into euro based on the following procedures:

assets and liabilities, including goodwill and fair value adjustments arising from consolidation are converted at the exchange rate in force on the balance sheet date;
revenue and costs are converted at the average rate for the period, which must be close to the exchange rate in force on the transaction date;
exchange rate differences are recognised in a separate account in shareholders' equity. When a foreign company is sold, the total amount of accumulated exchange rate differences relating to that company are recorded in the income statement.

The exchange rates used for the conversion into euro of the financial and equity statements of companies included in the scope of consolidation are listed in the following table:

FINANCIAL STATEMENT FORMATS

As part of the options available under IAS 1 for the preparation of its economic and financial position, The Group has elected to adopt a balance sheet format that distinguishes between current and non-current assets and liabilities, and an income statement that classifies costs by type of expenditure, since this is deemed to reflect more closely its business activities. Within the income statement, as intermediate results, they are exposed EBITDA and EBIT, considered representative indicators of company performance. The cash flow statement is presented using the "indirect" format.

With reference to Consob Resolution n. 15519 dated July 27, 2006 regarding the format of the financial statements, additional schedules have also been presented for the income statement, the statement of financial position and the statement of cash flows in order to identify any significant transactions with related parties. This has been done to avoid any compromising the overall legibility of the main financial statements.

Impairment losses

Trademarks and other intangible assets are subject to verification of the recoverable value at least annually and, in any case, whenever indications of possible loss of value emerge.

Tangible fixed assets, activities for rights of use and other non-current assets are subjected to impairment tests whenever there are events or changes in circumstances indicating a reduction in value.

An impairment loss occurs and is accounted for when the carrying amount of an asset or cash-generating unit exceeds the recoverable value. The book value of the asset is adjusted to the recoverable value and the loss due to impairment is recognized in the income statement.

The comparison between the value of the Group's shareholders' equity per share and the listing value of the share at the end of June 2020 and in the period up to the date of preparation of the half-year report highlights a book value higher than the market value. The directors believe that this evidence is substantially attributable to the particular situation of the financial markets which occurred following the difficult current situation of the world markets. Therefore the market value is not considered representative of the Group value.

Management evaluates intangible assets with a finite useful life at least annually (near the end of the financial statements), in a manner that is stringent with respect to what is required by the international accounting standard IAS 36 and equating them to assets with an indefinite useful life.

The Covid-19 pandemic is to be considered an extraordinary event that requires assessments in relation to the risk that the book values of the brands may have suffered lasting losses in value.

For the determination of the recoverable value of the brands recorded in the financial statements, the current value was estimated by updating the hypothetical value of the royalties deriving from the sale in use of these intangible assets to third parties, for a period of time equal to the residual useful life. For the calculation of the determined values, the management used the group revised budget starting from the year 2020. For the remaining periods, the management estimated an increase in turnover with an annual compound growth rate ("CAGR") variable from 0, 58% to 3.61%. The average rates of the sector were used as the royalties rates (10%) and the average cost of capital (WACC) of 7.40% was used as the discount rate (in line with that at 31/12/2019).

The analysis carried out did not reveal any situations of impairment since the net book value of the individual brands within the range of values determined for the related recoverable value.

Moreover, the Group has in any case conducted the usual sensitivity analyzes, required by IAS 36, in order to highlight the effects produced on the "use value" by a reasonable change in the basic assumptions (WACC, growth rates).

Finally, the Group carried out an analysis aimed at assessing the recoverability of the assets by right of use and of the intangible and tangible assets attributable to the individual directly managed sales points (DOS) which highlighted impairment indicators attributable to the pandemic from Covid- 19.

In particular, for the Cash Generating Units (CGU), the recoverable value, calculated as the greater of the fair value and use value of the related Cash Generating Unit, was compared with the carrying amount ("carrying amount"). For the half-yearly evaluation, the expected cash flows and revenues are based on the "Contingency Plan 2020" (approved by the Board of Directors) and on the management estimates for subsequent years, consistently with the duration of the rental contracts. The discount rate used for discounting cash flows is equal to the Group WACC (7.40%), while the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) is on average 0.8% (4.7% at 31/12/2019).

No impairment situations emerged from the analysis carried out.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of this half-year financial report are the same used as those used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statement as of December 31, 2019, except for the following interpretations and amendments to the accounting principles that have been mandatory since January 1, 2020.

Accounting standards, amendments and interpretations approved by the European Union, applicable

from 1 January 2020, which were applied for the first time in the consolidated half-yearly financial statements of the AEFFE Group closed as at 30 June 2020

IFRS 16 - through the new paragraphs 46A and 46B - now introduces a practical expedient to the chapter "Lease modifications" which allows the lessee not to consider any concessions on the payment of the fees deriving from the effects of Covid-19 as a modification of the original contract; therefore, the aforementioned changes must be accounted for as if the contract were not modified.

In order to be able to apply this exemption, all the following conditions must be verified:

the granting of payments is a direct consequence of the Covid-19 pandemic;
the change in payments left unchanged - compared to the original conditions - the same amount to be paid or reduced the amount;
the reduction in payments refers only to those originally due up to June 2021 (as an example, the condition is fulfilled if the rescheduling agreement provides for a reduction in payments up to June 2021 and a subsequent increase from the month of July 2021);
there are no substantial changes to other contractual terms or conditions of the lease.

In addition, the new paragraph 60A requires that if the lessee adopts the practical expedient just described, he will have to provide specific information in the financial statements.

The amendments in question can be applied starting from the financial statements of the financial years that start from 1 June 2020, although early application is allowed to companies that have not yet approved the financial statements as of 28 May 2020 (paragraph C1A).

Finally, pursuant to the new paragraph C20A, the lessee must use the practical expedient retroactively by accounting for the cumulative effect of the initial application of the amendment to IFRS 16 as a modification of the opening balance sheet (on retained earnings or other items accountants)) relating to the financial statements in which the aforementioned practical expedient was applied for the first time.

The Group anticipated the adoption of the practical expedient introduced by the amendment to the accounting standard IFRS 16 published by the IASB on 28 May 2020, although not yet complete with all the formal steps necessary for its approval by the EU. This approach follows the desire to represent the concessions obtained by the lessors as a consequence of the Covid-19 pandemic in line with the expected practices in the reference sector. Furthermore, failure to adopt the aforementioned amendment in the half- year report would result in significant accounting charges (the same that led the IASB to publish the amendment) and would preclude the possibility of accessing the benefits provided by the related practical expedient also for the financial statements at December 31, 2020. These benefits are particularly significant for the Group in consideration of the number of lease contracts subject to review with the relative lessors in the various geographical areas and jurisdictions.

Amendment to IAS 1 and IAS 8 on definition of materiality. The amendment was published by the IASB on 31 October 2018 and provides for a different definition of "material", that is: "Information is material if omitting, misstating or obscuring it could reasonably be expected to influence decisions that the primary users of general purpose financial statements make on the basis of those financial statements, which provide financial information about a specific reporting entity ". The changes are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2020.

On 29 March 2018, the IASB published the revised version of the Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting. The main changes compared to the 2010 version concern: i) a new chapter on evaluation; ii) better definitions and guidance, in particular with reference to the definition of liabilities; iii) clarifications of important concepts, such as stewardship, prudence and uncertainty in assessments. A document has also been published that updates the references in the IFRS to the previous Conceptual Framework. The

amendments, where they are actually updated, are effective for the annual periods starting on 1 January 2020 or later.

Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39 and IFRS 7: Interest rate benchamrk reform. The amendment provides for some observations in relation to the modification of the interest rate benchmarks. In relation to hedge accounting, the IBOR reform should not end hedge accounting. Any ineffectiveness of the hedge must continue to be recognized in the income statement. This change will come into effect from the financial years beginning on January 1, 2020.

Amendment to IFRS 3, "Business combinations". On October 22, 2018, the IASB issued the "Definition of a Business (Amendments to IFRS 3)" document aimed at solving the difficulties that arise when an entity determines whether it has acquired a company or group of activities. The changes are effective for business combinations for which the acquisition date is in effect or after January 1, 2020.

Accounting standards, amendments and interpretations published by the IASB but not yet approved by the European Union Accounting standards, amendments and interpretations published by the IASB but not yet approved by the European Union and not adopted in the preparation of these financial statements:

IFRS 17 "Insurance Contracts". On 18 May 2017, the IASB issued IFRS 17 "Insurance contracts" which establishes the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and representation of the insurance contracts included in the standard. The objective of IFRS 17 is to ensure that an entity provides relevant information that faithfully represents these contracts, in order to represent a basis for evaluating the reader of the financial statements of the effects of these contracts on the equity and financial situation, on the economic results and on the entity's cash flows. On June 21, 2018, the IASB resolved to clarify IFRS 17 "Insurance Contracts", to ensure that the interpretation of the standard reflects the decisions taken by the Board. The board agreed to clarify some points of the contracts subject to variable rates and to aspects related to IFRS 3 "business combination". The provisions of IFRS 17 are effective starting from financial years starting on or after January 1, 2021. From a first examination, the possible future adoption of this principle should not have a significant impact on the Group's consolidated financial statements.

Amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements: Classification of liabilities as current or noncurrent. Final changes in the classification of liabilities as current or non-current affect only the presentation of liabilities in the statement of financial position, not the amount or recognition of assets, liabilities, income or expense or information that the entities provide on these elements . Specifically, the changes:

clarify that the classification of liabilities as current or non-current should be based on the rights existing at the end of the reference period and align the definition in all the paragraphs concerned to refer to the "right" to defer the regulation by at least twelve months and clarify that only existing rights "at the end of the reference period" should affect the classification of a liability;
clarify that the classification is not influenced by expectations that an entity will exercise its right to defer the settlement of a liability;
clarify that the regulation refers to the transfer of liquidity, equity instruments, other assets or services to the counterparty. The changes will take effect from January 1, 2022 and must be applied retrospectively. Early adoption is possible. From a first examination, the possible future adoption of these amendments should not have a significant impact on the Group's consolidated financial statements.

The principles listed in this paragraph are not applicable as they are not approved by the European Union, which, during the approval process, could only partially or not transpose these principles.

Other	1,498	-	-	1,498


Total	1,847	85	( 1)	1,931

The supplementary clientele severance indemnity fund is determined based on an estimate of the liability relating to the severance of agency contracts, taking account of statutory provisions and any other relevant factor, such as statistical data, average duration of agency contracts and their rate of turnover. The item is calculated based on the actual value of the outflow necessary to extinguish the obligation.

The other provisions mainly relate to provisions for future charges and risks linked to organizational changes.

Potential tax liabilities for which no reserves have been established, since it is not considered probable that they will give rise to a liability for the Group, are described in the paragraph "Contingent liabilities".

18. POST-EMPLOYMENT BENEFITS

The severance indemnities payable on a deferred basis to all employees of the Group are deemed to represent a defined benefits plan (IAS 19), since the employer's obligation does not cease on payment of the contributions due on the remuneration paid, but continue until termination of the employment relationship.

For plans of this type, the standard requires the amount accrued to be projected forward in order to determine the amount that will be paid on the termination of employment, based on an actuarial valuation that takes account of employee turnover, likely future pay increases and any other applicable factors. This methodology does not apply to those employees whose severance indemnities are paid into approved supplementary pension funds which, in the circumstances, are deemed to represent defined contributions plans.

Changes in the provision are illustrated in the following statement:

(Values in thousands of EUR)	At December 31,	Increases	Decreases/ Other	At June 30,

COMMENTS ON THE CONSOLIDATED INCOME STATEMENT

25. REVENUES FROM SALES AND SERVICES

Accounting Policy:

Revenues from sales and services derive mainly from the sale of goods with the recognition of "at poin in time" revenues when the asset was transferred to the customer. This is provided for both the Wholesale distribution (shipment of goods to the customer, and for retail distribution when the asset is sold through a physical store. With regard to the export of goods, the control can be transferred in various stages depending on the type of product). Incoterm applied to the specific customer This premise leads to a limited judgment on the identification of the control passage of the asset and the consequent recognition of the revenue.

A part of the group's revenues derives from the recognition of the Roylalties, agreed, based on a predetermined percentage in the contract with the customer, on the net turnover. The royalties accrue "at point in time", therefore at the time of issue by the Licensee, of the invoices for the sale of the products granted.

Determination of the transaction price:

Most of the Group's revenues derive from list prices that can vary depending on the type of product, brand and geographical region. Some contracts with the Group's Retail Companies provide for the transfer of control with the right of return. Being intra-group transactions they do not impact the consolidated financial statements as they are eliminated.

With regard to the recognition of Royalties, these are calculated based on a percentage of the Licensee's net sales. The percentage may vary depending on the type of product.

Introduction

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed interim consolidated financial statement as of June 30, 2020, consisting of the consolidated statement of financial position, consolidated income statement, statement of comprehensive income, consolidated statement of cash flows and statement of changes in equity and related explanatory notes, of the Aeffe Group. Management is responsible for the preparation of this interim condensed financial statements in accordance with the International Financial Accounting Standards applicable to interim financial reporting (IAS 34) as adopted by the European Union. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim condensed financial reporting based on our review.

Audit Scope

We conducted our review in accordance with review standard recommended by Consob (the Italian Stock Exchange Regulatory Agency) in its Resolution no. 10867 of July 31, 1997. A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISA Italia) and, consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion on the interim condensed financial statements.

Opinion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying interim condensed financial statements of the Aeffe Group as of June 30, 2020, are not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the International Financial Accounting Standards applicable to interim financial reporting (IAS 34) as adopted by the European Union.
