Half-Year Report

Overview of the F.I.L.A. Group

The F.I.L.A. Group operates in the creativity tools market, producing colouring, design, modelling, writing and painting objects, such as pencils, crayons, modelling clay, chalk, oil colours, acrylics, watercolours, paints and paper for the fine arts, school and leisure.

At the reporting date, the F.I.L.A. Group operates through 21 production facilities and 35 subsidiaries across the globe and employs over 10,000, becoming a pinnacle for creative solutions in many countries with brands such as GIOTTO, DAS, LYRA, Canson, Maimeri, Daler-Rowney Lukas, Ticonderoga, Pacon, Strathmore and Princeton.

Founded in Florence in 1920 by two noble Tuscan families, della Gherardesca and Marchesi Antinori, F.I.L.A. S.p.A. (hereafter also the "Parent") has achieved strong international growth in the past 20 years, supported by a series of strategic acquisitions. Over the years, the Parent has acquired: (i) the Italian firm Adica Pongo in 1994, a leading producer of modelling clay for children; (ii) the Spanish firm Spanish Fila Hispania S.L. (formerly Papeleria Mediterranea S.L.) in 1997, the Group's former exclusive distributor in Spain; (iii) the French firm Omyacolor S.A. in 2000, a leading manufacturer of modelling putties and clays; (iv) the U.S. Dixon Ticonderoga Group in 2005, a leading producer and distributor of pencils in North America, with subsidiaries operating on the Canadian, Mexican, Chinese and European markets; (v) the German LYRA Group in 2008, which allowed the Group to enter the German, Scandinavian and Eastern Asian markets; (vi) the business unit operated by Lapiceria Mexicana in 2010, one of the main local competitors in the budget coloured and graphite pencils market; and (vii) the business unit operated by Maimeri S.p.A. in 2014, a manufacturer and distributor of paints and accessories for arts and crafts. In addition to these operations, on the conclusion of an initiative which began with the acquisition of a significant influence in 2011, control of the Indian company DOMS Industries Pvt Ltd. was acquired in 2015 (viii). In 2016, the F.I.L.A. Group focused upon development through strategic Art&Craft sector acquisitions, seeking to become the leading market player. On February 3, 2016, F.I.L.A. S.p.A. acquired control of the Daler-Rowney Lukas Group, an illustrious brand producing and distributing materials and accessories on the arts and crafts market since 1783, with a direct presence in the United Kingdom, the Dominican Republic, Germany and the USA (ix). In September 2016, the F.I.L.A. Group acquired the entire share capital of St. Cuthberts Holding Limited and the operating company St. Cuthberts Mill Limited, a highly-renowned English paper mill, founded in 1907, located in the south-west of England and involved in the production of high-quality artist's papers (x). In October 2016, F.I.L.A. S.p.A. acquired the Canson Group, founded in 1557 by the Montgolfier family, with headquarters in Annonay in France, production facilities in France and conversion and distribution centres in Italy, France, China, Australia and Brazil. Canson products are available in over 120 countries and the brand is the most respected globally involved in the production and distribution of high added value paper for the fine arts, design, leisure and schools, but also for

artists' editions and technical and digital drawing materials (xi). In June 2018, F.I.L.A. S.p.A., through its US subsidiary Dixon Ticonderoga Co. (U.S.A.), consolidated its role as a leading player on the US market with the acquisition of the US Group Pacon, which through brands such as Pacon, Riverside, Strathmore and Princeton, is a leader in the US schools and arts and crafts sector (xii). On March 2, 2020, F.I.L.A.- Arches S.A.S., a French company wholly-owned by F.I.L.A. S.p.A., completed the purchase of the fine art business unit of the company specialised in fine art operating through the ARCHES® brand, until then managed by the Ahlstrom-Munksjö Group, finalising the non-binding memorandum of understanding signed on October 30, 2019 between F.I.L.A. S.p.A. and Ahlstrom- Munksjö Oyj and its French subsidiary, Ahlstrom-Munksjö Arches (xiii).

Half-Year Report

June 30, 2020

2020 Adjustments:

The adjustment to revenue from sales and services mainly concerns the return of goods as a result of disputes with customers, related to the economic and social effects of the Covid-19 pandemic and the North American reorganisation involving the introduction of the new SAP system, which impacted revenue by Euro 121 thousand;

The adjustment to the H1 2020 gross operating profit relates to non-recurring operating expense of approx. Euro 7.7 million, mainly for the expense concerning the corporate transaction for the acquisition of the ARCHES® business unit, for Euro 4.5 million, the costs incurred to deal with the Covid-19 pandemic for Euro 2 million and, residually, reorganisation costs of the F.I.L.A. Group, particularly in North America for Euro 1.2 million;

The overall adjustment to the operating profit was Euro 7.7 million, resulting from the aforementioned effects on the gross operating profit;

The adjustment to Net Financial Expense refers to the financial expense incurred by the Parent F.I.L.A. S.p.A. for the signing of a new loan to support the M&A transaction;

The adjustment to the H1 2020 Profit attributable to the owners of the parent concerns the aforementioned adjustments, net of the tax effect.

2019 Adjustments:

The adjustment to the H1 2019 gross operating profit concerns non-recurring operating expense of approx. Euro 4.6 million, principally for the reorganisation of the F.I.L.A. Group in the first half of 2019 and particularly in North America;

The adjustment to the H1 2019 Profit attributable to the owners of the parent concerns the above- stated adjustments, net of the tax effect.

In order to permit a more accurate assessment of the F.I.L.A. Group's financial performance and financial position, some alternative performance measures are presented alongside the conventional financial measures pursuant to IFRS. Such alternative performance measures are not to be considered replacements for the IFRS-compliant measures.

Half-Year Report

June 30, 2020

The alternative performance measures used are illustrated below:

Gross operating profit or EBITDA: this is calculated as profit for the reporting period, excluding the

following components: (i) income taxes for the period, (ii) depreciation, amortisation and impairment losses, (iii) financial income and expense and (iv) profit or loss from discontinued operations. The F.I.L.A. Group uses this measure as an internal management target and in external presentations (for analysts and investors), as it is useful in measuring the overall operating performance of the F.I.L.A. Group and of F.I.L.A. S.p.A.

The principal changes compared to H1 2019 are illustrated below.

"Revenue from sales and services" of Euro 307,639 thousand decreased on H1 2019 by Euro 43,064 thousand (-12.3%). Net of exchange losses of Euro 164 thousand (mainly due to the weakening of the Indian Rupee and the Mexican Peso, only partially offset by the strengthening US Dollar) and the net negative M&A effect of Euro 1,964 thousand (from the joint impact of higher revenue of Euro 1,883 thousand following the acquisition in March 2020 of the new ARCHES® business unit and the lower revenue of Euro 3,847 thousand following the sale of the "Superior" brand business in October 2019), the organic contraction was Euro 40,936 thousand (-11.8%).

Looking to the geographical segments, this result was mainly due to the drop in consumption as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic in Europe for Euro 14,803 thousand (-13%), in Asia for Euro 14,036 thousand (-33.9%), in Central-South America for Euro 8,254 thousand (-29.3%) and in North America for Euro 4,071 thousand (-2.5%), while partially offset for Euro 228 thousand (17.12%) by increases in the Rest of the World.

In order to better illustrate F.I.L.A. Group revenue, the table below highlights revenue by strategic segment (the school and office strategic business segment, the arts and crafts strategic business segment and, to a residual extent, industrial products):

10

Half-Year Report

June 30, 2020

This analysis also highlights the impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic and of the relative lockdown and remote working period, which resulted in a contraction in revenue mainly concerning school and office products, as their consumption is mainly linked to the physical presence of students at school and of personnel at their offices.

Other revenue and income of Euro 5,951 thousand increased by Euro 2,393 thousand compared to H1 2019, mainly due to higher exchange gains on commercial transactions.

Operating costs in H1 2020 of Euro 267,428 thousand decreased by Euro 28,607 thousand on the same period of 2019, due to the reduction in revenue, which was partly offset by management's commercial, marketing, administrative and personnel overhead cost-cutting measures, with the latter through the use of accrued vacations, mechanisms similar to the lay-off schemes and a downsizing of the workforce, mainly of temporary workers where possible.

Gross Operating Profit was Euro 46,162 thousand, a decrease of Euro 12,064 thousand on H1 2019 (- 20.7%).

Amortisation, depreciation and impairment losses rose by Euro 2,108 thousand, mainly due to higher amortisation and depreciation resulting from investments and the increase from accruals to cover the greater doubtful debt risk as a result of Covid-19.

Net Financial Expense increased by Euro 1,705 thousand, mainly due to greater exchange losses on financial transactions.

Group Adjusted income taxes amounted to Euro 5,344 thousand, decreasing on H1 2019 by Euro 2,383 thousand, due to the reduced pre-tax profit.

11

Half-Year Report

June 30, 2020

Net of the profit attributable to non-controlling interests, the F.I.L.A. Group normalised profit in H1 2020 was Euro 9,545 thousand, compared to Euro 21,950 thousand in H1 2019.

Half-Year Report

June 30, 2020

Business seasonality

The group's operations are affected by the business's seasonal nature, as reflected in the consolidated results.

The F.I.L.A. Group primarily operates in the school and office strategic business segment and the arts and crafts strategic business segment. Historically, the school and office strategic business segment has reported greater sales in the second and third quarters of the year than in the first and fourth quarters of the year. This is mainly due to the fact that in the Group's main markets (i.e., North America, Mexico, India and Europe), schools reopen in the period from June to September. By contrast, the arts and crafts strategic business segment reports greater sales to some extent in the first, but especially in the fourth quarter, than in the second and third quarters, partially offsetting the seasonal nature of the school and office strategic business segment.

The quarterly breakdown of profit or loss shows the concentration of sales in the second and third quarters in conjunction with the "school campaign". Specifically, significant sales are made through the traditional "school suppliers" channel in June and through the "retailers" channel in August.

Seasonality is more significant when it is viewed in relation to working capital. In fact, in the school and office strategic business segment the group has historically invested large quantities of financial resources to meet the enormous demand for products from July to September, while only receiving payments in November.

The key figures for H1 2020 and 2019 are reported below.

The F.I.L.A. Group's "net invested capital" of Euro 946,673 thousand at June 30, 2020 was composed of net non-current assets of Euro 651,716 thousand (up by Euro 31,403 thousand on December 31, 2019), "net working capital" of Euro 358,222 thousand (up by Euro 63,342 thousand on December 31, 2019) and "other non-current assets/liabilities" of Euro 18,990 thousand (up by Euro 643 thousand on December 31, 2019), net of "provisions" of Euro 82,256 thousand (Euro 78,039 thousand at December 31, 2019).

"Intangible assets" increased on December 31, 2019 by Euro 32,484 thousand, mainly due to the acquisition of the ARCHES® brand products business unit which generated "Goodwill" of Euro 21,232 thousand, "Brands" of Euro 12,376 thousand and "Customer Relationships" of Euro 10,369 thousand. The above intangible assets were measured through Purchase Price Allocation, carried out as per the applicable reporting standards. In addition, net investments principally by the parent F.I.L.A. S.p.A. of Euro 1,165 thousand for the installation of the SAP system were recognised along with amortisation of the period of Euro 7,655 thousand and net exchange losses of the period of Euro 5,004 thousand.

"Property, plant and equipment" decreased on December 31, 2019 by Euro 803 thousand due to the decrease of Euro 2,751 thousand in Property, Plant and Equipment, partially offset by the increase in rights-of-use assets of Euro 1,948 thousand.

Net investments in "Property, Plant and Equipment" in the period amounted to Euro 4,908 thousand and were principally undertaken by DOMS Industries Pvt Ltd (India) and Dixon Ticonderoga Company (U.S.A.), for the extension and development of the local production and logistics sites. In addition, an

14

Half-Year Report

June 30, 2020

M&A related increase of Euro 4,283 thousand was recognised, including Euro 13 thousand of notary fees. This change is mainly offset by depreciation of Euro 8,335 thousand and net exchange losses of Euro 3,534 thousand.

"Financial assets" decreased by Euro 277 thousand compared to December 31, 2019 and mainly concerned loans.

The increase in "Net Working Capital" of Euro 63,342 thousand relates to the following:

Inventories - increasing by Euro 19,451 thousand. This mainly followed the net increase in stock at the F.I.L.A. Group, for Euro 24,903 thousand, in particular North America, France, Mexico and India, in line with the school campaign business seasonality, an effect amplified by the postponed fulfilment of orders to subsequent quarters due to the Covid-19 pandemic, in addition to the impact of the change in the consolidation scope of Euro 2,702 thousand during the period. This increase was significantly offset by negative currency effects of approx. Euro 8,297 thousand;

"Trade Receivables and Other assets" - increasing Euro 58,046 thousand due to the seasonality of the F.I.L.A. Group's business, with receivables at their highest during the middle months of the year as revenue is generated, although to a lesser extent than normally due to the contraction and deferment of revenue to the subsequent quarters of the year due to the Covid-19 pandemic. This change mainly concerned Dixon Ticonderoga Company (U.S.A.), F.I.L.A. S.p.A. and Canson SAS (France) and was offset by net exchange losses of Euro 10,392 thousand;

"Trade Payables and Other liabilities" - increased Euro 11,380 thousand, principally due to the business seasonality of the F.I.L.A. Group, with procurement concentrated in the initial months of the year in support of production and supplies for the forecast peak in sales. The change principally concerned the North American subsidiary and was partially offset by the reduction at the Indian subsidiary DOMS Industries Pvt Ltd and net exchange gains of Euro 2,459 thousand.

The increase in "Provisions" on December 31, 2019 of Euro 4,217 thousand principally concerns the:

Increase in "Deferred tax liabilities" of Euro 6,083 thousand, principally due to the tax effect concerning "Intangible Assets", recognised as a result of the acquisition of the Arches business unit for Euro 7,513 thousand. The change was offset by net exchange gains of Euro 1,325 thousand;

Decrease in "Provisions for Risks and Charges" of Euro 1,075 thousand, due to utilisations in the period, principally by the North American subsidiary;

Decrease in "Employee Benefits" of Euro 790 thousand, mainly due to actuarial gains recorded in the period by the company Daler Rowney Ltd (United Kingdom).

The "Equity" attributable to owners of the Parent, amounting to Euro 335,407 thousand, decreased on

15

Half-Year Report

June 30, 2020

December 31, 2019 by Euro 21,944 thousand. Net of the profit for the period of Euro 2,150 thousand (of which a loss of Euro 630 thousand attributable to non-controlling interests), the residual movement mainly concerned the increase in the negative currency reserve of Euro 12,980 thousand and the fair value losses on IRSs of Euro 10,204 thousand, partially offset by the Actuarial reserve of Euro 1,041 thousand.

The F.I.L.A. Group's Net Financial debt at June 30, 2020 was Euro 611,266 thousand, an increase of Euro 113,116 thousand on December 31, 2019. For greater details, reference should be made to the "Net financial debt and cash flows" section.

The net cash flows used in operating activities of Euro 44,278 thousand in the first half of 2020 (Euro

30,963 thousand in H1 2019) are due to:

Inflows of Euro 37,302 thousand (Euro 50,719 thousand in H1 2019) from operating profit, calculated as the difference of operating costs and revenue plus other operating items, excluding financial items;

Outflows of Euro 81,580 thousand (Euro 81,683 thousand in H1 2019) attributable to Working capital movements, primarily related to the joint effect of an increase in Inventories and Trade Receivables and Other Assets and the increase in Trade Payables and Other Liabilities.

Investing activities used net cash flows of Euro 5,553 thousand (Euro 7,943 thousand in H1 2019), mainly due to the use of Euro 6,073 thousand (Euro 8,012 thousand in H1 2019) for investments in property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, particularly regarding DOMS Industries Pvt Ltd (India), Canson SAS (France), F.I.L.A.-Dixon, S.A. de C.V. (Mexico), Dixon Ticonderoga Company

Half-Year Report

(U.S.A.) and F.I.L.A. S.p.A..

Financing activities used net cash flows of Euro 11,683 thousand (Euro 17,353 thousand used in H1 2019) due to interest paid on loans and credit lines granted to Group companies, mainly F.I.L.A. S.p.A., Dixon Ticonderoga Company (U.S.A.) and Grupo F.I.L.A. - Dixon, S.A. de C.V. (Mexico).

Excluding net exchange gains from the translation of the net financial positions in currencies other than the Euro (Euro 9,894 thousand), the Mark-to-Market hedging adjustments of Euro 10,204 thousand and the negative impact of the application of IFRS 16, equal to Euro 8,746 thousand, and the movement generated by corporate transactions of Euro 43,600 thousand related to the acquisition of the new business unit, the change in the Group's net financial debt was a negative Euro 113,116 thousand (Euro 149,595 thousand in HI 2019).

Half-Year Report

June 30, 2020

Segment reporting

In terms of segment reporting, the F.I.L.A. Group has adopted IFRS 8, mandatory from January 1, 2009. IFRS 8 requires an entity to base segment reporting on internal reporting, which is regularly reviewed by the entity's chief operating decision maker to allocate resources to the various segments and assess performance.

Geographical segments are the primary basis of analysis and of decision-making by the F.I.L.A. Group's management, therefore fully in line with the internal reporting prepared for these purposes.

In particular, the Parent's business is divided into five business segments, each of which is composed of various geographical segments, i.e. (i) Europe, (ii) North America (USA and Canada), (iii) Central and South America, (iv) Asia and (v) the Rest of the World, which includes South Africa and Australia. Each of the five business segments designs, markets, purchases, manufactures and sells products under known consumer brands in demand amongst end users and used in schools, homes and workplaces. Product designs are adapted to end users' preferences in each geographical segment.

The group's products are similar in terms of quality and production, target market, margins, sales network and customers, even with reference to the different brands which the group markets. Accordingly, there is no diversification by segments in consideration of the substantial uniformity of the risks and benefits relating to the products produced by the F.I.L.A. Group.

The accounting policies applied to segment reporting are in line with those used for the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.

Business Segment Reporting of the F.I.L.A. Group aggregates companies by geographical segment on the basis of the "entity location".

For disclosure upon the association between the geographical segments and F.I.L.A. group companies, reference should be made to the attachments to the report in the "List of companies included in the consolidation scope and other equity investments" paragraph.

The segment reporting required in accordance with IFRS 8 is presented below.

Key events of the reporting period

On March 2, 2020, F.I.L.A.- Arches S.A.S., a French company wholly-owned by F.I.L.A., completed the purchase of the fine art business unit specialised in fine art operating through the ARCHES® brand, until then managed by the Ahlstrom-Munksjö Group, finalising the non- binding memorandum of understanding signed on October 30, 2019 between F.I.L.A. S.p.A. and Ahlstrom-Munksjö Oyj and its French subsidiary, Ahlstrom-Munksjö Arches.

For over 500 years, the ARCHES® brand has been one of the best-known global brands in the production and distribution of premium fine art paper. The company creates its products utilising a particular "cylinder mould" technique which ensures the delivery of a highly crafted product and an inimitable natural appearance. Each production cycle is subject to numerous technical controls, which have always guaranteed the undisputed quality of the paper and its excellent brand reputation.

The total price, on a debt-freecash-free basis, paid by F.I.L.A. - Arches S.A.S. for the business unit was Euro 43.6 million. The acquisition was funded by amending the current medium/long- term loan contract, through the granting of new credit lines for Euro 15 million and the partial use of the Revolving Credit Facility for Euro 25 million, through its conversion into a medium/long-term credit line.

Covid-19 impacts:

Since January 2020, on the Chinese market - and gradually from March 2020 across the rest of the world - the operating environment has been dominated by the spread of Covid-19 ("Coronavirus") and the resulting restrictive containment measures implemented by the public authorities of the countries affected. The current health emergency, in addition to the enormous social impacts, is having direct and indirect repercussions on the general economy and on the propensity to consume and invest, resulting in a generally uncertain environment. The F.I.L.A. Group monitored the developing situation in order to minimise its social and workplace health and safety impacts, in addition to the operating, equity and financial situation, by drawing up and rolling out flexible and timely action plans. In particular, from the beginning the F.I.L.A. Group has worked tirelessly to ensure maximum health and safety levels for its employees, customers and suppliers. The Group promptly introduced a series of protective measures for personnel and activated its Crisis Response Protocol, developing a specific crisis response plan and immediately rolled out a series of measures at all levels of the organisation - both at headquarters and overseas - at the operating sites and at the production plant. In this regard, the Coronavirus related lockdown resulted in the closure of the Yixing facility from February 4 until February 21 and that of Kunshan from February 4 until February 28, the Indian facilities from March 22

24

Half-Year Report

June 30, 2020

until May 3, the Italian F.I.L.A. S.p.A. facilities from March 23 to April 10 and the facilities of Industria Maimeri from March 16 to April 30, the Dominican Republic facilities from March 23 to April 3 and those in Mexico from April 6 to April 17. At the reporting date, the Group's plants are all operational, in accordance with the regulations for each country, although not at full capacity in order to protect worker safety. With the exception of India, where production and commercial activity was totally blocked for the entire month of April, shipments to customers have never stopped, although sometimes limited by logistical inefficiencies emerging during the lockdown period. The majority of the Group companies updated their internal procedures to guarantee a safe workplace so as to minimise any infection risk, alternating, where possible, the physical presence of workers with remote working. All subsidiaries introduced all of the social security and corrective measures available to offset the drop in activity, such as containing all fixed costs related to activities not strictly necessary in 2020 and a similar deferment to 2021 of all those investments not considered strictly strategic in the current year. Public aid has principally taken the form of social security schemes to contain labour costs (principally in Italy, France, Germany, the United States and England), while there are no significant outright grants. The impact on the business has mainly been a decrease in sales on the Chinese market in February and part of March, while the decrease in sales in the rest of the world has had a gradual impact only from the second half of March (we indicate the total blockage of the Indian market in April), with the exception of customers selling online and Major Retail, where this impact was however minimal as the sales channels had been operative also in this period.

It is highlighted that Group revenue in April, May and June generally does not correspond, especially for "school products", to the sell-out by our customers to end consumers, but in particular to the supply of the distribution chain ahead of sales for the reopening of schools. Based on current forecasts for the end of the emergency, the impacts on business could be partially offset by a recovery in the months leading up to the reopening of schools, with the effect therefore of partially deferring revenue from the second to third quarter.

With regard to potential financial stress scenarios, management has monitored and continues to monitor both the Group's current and future liquidity. In April, the first significant impacts on collection activities directly related to the worldwide spread of the Coronavirus became apparent. The Group therefore introduced a strict customer selection policy to limit future financial difficulties, limiting as much as possible exposure to customers considered most at risk and lengthening collection times where possible. In terms of suppliers, however, actions focused on identifying alternative sources of procurement in the case of any critical logistical or financial situations at the main suppliers; no significant criticalities have emerged to date

however. No significant renegotiation of existing contracts with customers and suppliers is

25

Half-Year Report

June 30, 2020

reported. At that date, the available liquidity appears adequate to cover current and future operating needs. The medium/long-term debt of a nominal Euro 453 million is based on a bullet repayment plan (Euro 50.9 million in 2023 and Euro 253.8 million in 2024), with that subject to interest settled through increasing instalments until maturity in 2023; the 2020 instalment amounts to Euro 11.9 million. In addition, the structured debt was negotiated with the lending banks and no default shall be linked to any failure to comply with the financial covenants relating to the June 2020 and December 2020 tests ("holiday covenants"), while the margin to be used to calculate the interest shall continue to be based on the financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2019 (in the case in which dividends are not distributed to shareholders of FI.L.A. S.p.A. during the second half of 2020). It is indicated however that at June 30, 2020 the financial covenants had been complied with.

The Group has carried out a further sensitivity analysis of the potential operating and financial impacts of the current crisis and has drafted a series of measures to limit these impacts, such as the containment of overheads and of the investments planned for 2020, as described previously. In light of that reported and on the basis of the currently available information, assuming that the schools reopen in September, a slight improvement in the operating and financial performance is expected in the second half of the year in comparison with the first half. Consequently, the reduced revenue and the possible net working capital difficulties shall result in a reduced generation of cash compared to the previous year, although these effects shall be offset by a number of actions taken by management, such as for example the postponement of certain non-strategic investments and the containment of overheads.

It may be stated that Covid-19 to date has not halted or changed any of the Group's development plans and strategy, only acting to slow them.

The directors of F.I.L.A. S.p.A., considering the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic as a possible impairment indicator, in accordance with IAS 36 "Impairment of assets" (paragraphs 9 and 12), carried out an impairment test on goodwill and intangible assets with finite useful lives recognised in the financial statements in order to ascertain their recoverability. No impairment losses were recognised as a result.

June 30, 2020

Subsequent events

As regards the lockdown following the Coronavirus pandemic, at the date of this report, the Group's plant are operational, in accordance with the regulations for each country, though not at full capacity in order to protect worker safety.

Outlook

The 2020 outlook will be affected by the instability resulting from the outbreak of the Coronavirus, which was disclosed in the "Key events of the reporting period" section. The F.I.L.A. Group continues to monitor the developing situation in order to minimise its social and workplace health and safety impacts, in addition to the operating, equity and financial situation, by drawing up and rolling out flexible and timely action plans.

Treasury shares

At June 30, 2020, the Parent does not hold any treasury shares.

Notes to the condensed interim consolidated financial statements

Introduction

The F.I.L.A. Group operates in the creativity tools market, producing colouring, design, modelling, writing and painting objects, such as pencils, crayons, modelling clay, chalk, oil colours, acrylics, watercolours, paints and paper for the fine arts, school and leisure.

The Parent F.I.L.A. S.p.A., Fabbrica Italiana Lapis ed Affini (hereafter "the Parent") is a company limited by shares with registered office in Pero (Italy), Via XXV Aprile, 5. The ordinary shares of the Parent were admitted for trading on the MTA, STAR Segment, organised and managed by Borsa Italiana S.p.A. from November 12, 2015.

The condensed interim consolidated financial statements of the F.I.L.A. Group have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) endorsed by the European Union. They include the financial statements of F.I.L.A. S.p.A. and its subsidiaries. For the subsidiaries the financial statements are reported upon in specific financial reporting packages, for the purposes of the Group condensed interim consolidated financial statements, in order to comply with IFRS.

The Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements of the F.I.L.A. Group as at and for the six months ended June 30, 2020 were prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting, as established also by Article 154-ter of the Consolidated Finance Act (Legislative Decree No. 58/1998) and should be read together with Consolidated Financial Statements of the F.I.L.A. Group at December 31, 2019 (the "latest financial statements"). Although not presenting all the information required for complete financial statement disclosure, specific notes are included outlining the events and transactions central to understanding the changes to the F.I.L.A. Group's financial position and performance since the latest financial statements.

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements are presented in Euro, as the functional currency in which the Group operates and comprise the Condensed Statement of Financial Position, in which assets and liabilities are classified as current and non-current, the Condensed Statement of Comprehensive Income, the Condensed Statement of Cash Flows prepared using the indirect method, the Condensed Statement of Changes in Equity, and these Notes and are accompanied by the Directors' Report. All amounts reported in the Condensed Statement of Financial Position, the Condensed Statement of Comprehensive Income, the Condensed Statement of Cash Flows, the Condensed Statement of Changes in Equity and in the Notes are expressed in thousands of Euro, except where otherwise stated.

37

Half-Year Report

June 30, 2020

With reference to Consob Resolution No. 15519 of July 27, 2006 in relation to the format of the Financial Statements, significant related party transactions and the income components from non- recurring items or transactions are indicated separately.

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements were authorised for publication by the Parent's Board of Directors on August 5, 2020.

Basis of preparation

Except for that stated below, these Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements were prepared using the same accounting policies used for the preparation of the latest annual financial statements. The changes to the accounting standards will also impact the Group's consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ending December 31, 2020.

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements are prepared under the historical cost convention, modified where applicable for the measurement of certain financial instruments or for the application of the acquisition method under IFRS 3, as well as on a going concern assumption basis.

Standards, amendments and interpretations applied after January 1, 2020

Amendments to the references in IFRSs to the Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting

In October 2018, the IASB published the reviewed version of the Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting. The main changes from the previous version of 2010 were as follows:

A new chapter on measurement;

Improved definitions and guidance, in particular with regards to defining liabilities;

Clarification of important concepts such as stewardship, prudence and uncertainty in measurement.

The amendment updates several references in the IFRS to the previous Conceptual Framework in IFRS Standards, the accompanying documents and the IFRS Practice Statements.

Amendment to IAS 1 and IAS 8 - Definition of Material

The purpose of the amendment, published in October 2018, is to clarify the definition of "material" in order to aid companies in assessing whether information is to be included in the financial statements.

38

Half-Year Report

June 30, 2020

Amendment to IFRS 9 Financial instruments, to IAS 39 Financial instruments: recognition and

measurement and to IFRS 7 Financial instruments: additional disclosures

This reform of the reference indices for the determination of interest rates, still in use globally, has created uncertainties about the timing and amount of future cash flows associated with certain financial instruments, with the consequent risk of having to terminate hedging relationships designated in accordance with IAS 39 or IFRS 9. According to the IASB, discontinuing hedging relationships because of these uncertainties does not provide useful information to users of financial statements; therefore, the document has made specific amendments to IAS 39, IFRS 9 and IFRS 7, introducing derogations during the period of uncertainty.

Amendment to IFRS 3 - Definition of a Business

The amendment is intended to aid in determining whether a transaction is an acquisition or a business or of a group of assets that does not meet the definition of a business provided in IFRS 3.

With reference to the standards and interpretations that came into force on January 1, 2020, there is no material impact on the measurement of the Group's assets, liabilities, costs and revenue.

Standards, amendments and interpretations not yet endorsed by the EU and applicable after June 1, 2020

Amendment to IFRS 16 - Covid-19-related rent concessions

The amendments introduce a practical expedient that simplifies the way the lessee accounts for leases that are a direct consequence of Covid-19. The amendments will be applicable from periods beginning on June 1, 2020. Early application is permitted.

With reference to the standards and interpretations which are not yet mandatory, their adoption is not expected to have a material impact on the measurement of the Group's assets, liabilities, costs and revenue.

Standards, amendments and interpretations not yet endorsed by the EU, not yet mandatory and not adopted early by the Group.

IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts

In May 2017, the IASB published IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts which replaces IFRS 4, issued in 2014. The objective of the standard is to improve investors' understanding of the exposure to risk, earnings and the financial position of insurers, requiring that all insurance contracts are recorded on a uniform basis, overcoming the problems created within IFRS 4.

39

Half-Year Report

June 30, 2020

The standard is applicable from January 1, 2023, however early application is permitted.

Amendment to IAS 1 - Presentation of Financial Statements - Classification of liabilities as

current or non-current

The IASB has clarified how to classify payables and other liabilities among current and non-current liabilities. These amendments will be applied retrospectively from January 1, 2023. Early application is permitted.

Amendment to IAS 16 - Property, Plant and Equipment: Proceeds before Intended Use

The amendments refer to the accounting for the sale of items before the item is available for use. The amendments will be applicable from periods beginning January 1, 2022.

Amendment to IAS 37 - Onerous Contracts: Cost of Fulfilling a Contract

The amendment clarifies the type of costs that must be considered as necessary to fulfil the contract for the measurement of an onerous contract. The amendments will be applicable from periods beginning January 1, 2022.

Annual Improvements to IFRS® Standards 2018-2020

The amendments will be applicable from periods beginning January 1, 2022.

Amendments to IFRS 3 - Reference to the Conceptual Framework

The amendments will be applicable from periods beginning January 1, 2022.

Share-based payment arrangement

2019-2021 Performance Shares Plan

In accordance with IFRS 2 - Share-based payment, the key data regarding the "2019-2021 Performance shares plan" was approved by the Shareholders of F.I.L.A. S.p.A. on April 18, 2019.

The "2019-2021 Performance Shares Plan" represents a medium/long-term incentive system based on the free assignment of company shares and subject to the achievement of specific performance objectives, in addition to continued employment with the Group. In particular, the free assignment of shares is linked (i) partly to the achievement of the performance objectives calculated for all beneficiaries of the "2019-2021 Performance Shares Plan" with reference to the scope of the F.I.L.A. Group, and (ii) partly to the achievement of certain individual or organisational strategic objectives defined specifically for each beneficiary of the "2019-2021 Performance Shares Plan" by reason of the role and position held.

The total maximum number of shares to be assigned to beneficiaries of the "2019-2021 Performance

40

Half-Year Report

June 30, 2020

Shares Plan" was established at 789,320. It is stipulated that these shares derive from (i) a share capital increase to be executed through the use, in accordance with Article 2349 of the Civil Code, of profits or retained earnings and/or (ii) treasury shares from purchases made in accordance with Article 2357 and 2357-ter of the Civil Code. Against a total maximum 789,320 ordinary shares of F.I.L.A. S.p.A. to be granted to beneficiaries where achieving the maximum performance objectives set out under the Plan, the Board of Directors, on conclusion of the three-year vesting period (i.e. December 31, 2021) shall establish the effective number of shares to be assigned to the beneficiaries of the Plan, which shall be made available to each, according to the terms and methods established by the Plan and, in particular, not beyond 60 calendar days from approval of the financial statements at December 31, 2021.

For equity-settledshare-based payment transactions, the entity shall measure the goods or services received, and the corresponding increase in equity, directly, at the fair value of the goods or services received, unless that fair value cannot be estimated reliably. Where the entity cannot estimate reliably the fair value of the goods or services received, it shall measure their value, and the corresponding increase in equity, indirectly, by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments granted.

The F.I.L.A. Group calculated the fair value of the benefit received against options on shares granted referring to the fair value of the options granted, calculated on the grant date and utilising the binomial options pricing model.

In calculating the fair value at the grant date of the share-based payment, the following parameters are used:

Share price at the grant date: Euro 13.22;

Risk free interest rate (based on iBoxx Euro Sovereign): 0.20%;

Expected volatility (expressed as average weighted volatility): 26.4%;

Duration of the option: 3 years;

Expected dividends: 0.50% per year.

The expected volatility is estimated according to the historic average price volatility of the shares over the three years since the grant date.

41

Half-Year Report

June 30, 2020

Fair value measurement

For measuring the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Group as far as possible refers to observable market data. The fair values are broken down into hierarchical levels based on the input data utilised for measurement, as outlined below.

Level 1: unadjusted assets or liabilities subject to valuation on an active market;

Level 2: inputs other than prices listed at the previous point, which are directly observable (prices) or indirectly (derived from the prices) on the market;

Level 3: input which is not based on observable market data.

Where the input data utilised to calculate the fair value of an asset or a liability may be classified to differing fair value hierarchy levels, the entire measurement is included in the lowest hierarchy level of the input which is significant for the entire measurement.

The Group records the transfers between the various fair value hierarchy levels at the end of the period in which the transfer took place.

Tax effect of the United Kingdom's notice of departure from the EU

On March 29, 2017, the government of the United Kingdom, invoking Article 50 of the Lisbon treaty, announced to the European Council its intention to leave the EU. The United Kingdom and the EU initially have a period of two years to reach an agreement on the departure and their future relations: this deadline can be extended. The departure process, in addition to the relative timing and outcome of the negotiations and future agreements between the United Kingdom and the EU, are subject to significant degrees of uncertainty.

The Parent's management have assessed the consequences of these uncertainties on the carrying amounts of the assets and liabilities stated in these condensed interim consolidated financial statements. Following this assessment, the Group has not identified any indicators of impairment regarding its English subsidiary at June 30, 2020.

Exchange rates adopted for translation

The assets and liabilities of foreign operations, including goodwill and Fair Value adjustments deriving

from their acquisition, are translated into Euro utilising the exchange rate at the reporting date. The

revenue and costs of foreign entities are translated into Euro utilising the average exchange rate for the

year. The exchange differences are recorded under other comprehensive income and included in the

translation reserve, with the exception of exchange differences attributable to non-controlling interests.

The exchange rates adopted for the translation of local currencies into Euro are as follows:

Intangible Assets with Indefinite Useful Lives

"Intangible Assets with Indefinite Useful Lives" are comprised entirely of goodwill for a total amount of Euro 169,212 thousand (Euro 147,761 thousand at December 31, 2019). The change on the previous year end was due mainly to the M&A through the French company F.I.L.A.- Arches S.A.S., wholly- owned by F.I.L.A S.p.A., which completed the acquisition of the business unit specialised in fine art operating through the ARCHES® brand.

During the year, net exchange gains came to Euro 219 thousand.

Goodwill is not amortised but subject to an impairment test at least annually and whenever facts or circumstances arise which may indicate the risk of an impairment loss.

The directors of F.I.L.A. S.p.A., considering the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic as a possible impairment indicator, carried out an impairment test on the goodwill in order to ascertain its recoverability, not recognising any impairment.

In accordance with the provisions of IAS 36, goodwill is allocated to the various cash generating units (CGU's).

The cash generating units relate to the operating segments, on a geographical basis, in line with the minimum level at which goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes. The breakdown of the Group assets by CGU and the identification criteria has not changed compared to December 31, 2019.

The CGU's to which goodwill are allocated are as follows:

Half-Year Report

June 30, 2020

The allocation of goodwill was made considering individual CGU's or Groups of CGU's based on potential synergies and similar operating strategies on the various markets.

The objective of the impairment test carried out by the Group is to compare the carrying amount of the cash generating units to which the goodwill was allocated with the relative recoverable amount. This latter is determined as the higher of the fair value less costs to sell and the value in use estimated by discounting cash flows.

The F.I.L.A. Group identifies the recoverable amount as the value in use of the cash generating units, identified (as per IAS 36) as the present value of projected cash flows, discounted at a separate rate for each geographical segment and reflecting the specific risks of the individual CGUs at the measurement date.

The assumptions utilised for the purposes of the impairment test are as follows:

In view of the effects of Covid-19 and the fact that the latest Business Plan, approved in February 2019, will be revised in the coming months, at June 30, 2020 the explicit flows were estimated on the basis of the budgets of the individual subsidiaries approved by the respective Boards of Directors, revised in light of the current economic and financial environment, maintaining the forecasts for subsequent years approved by the respective local Boards of Directors unchanged.

The growth rate was identified for each CGU in line with the long-term assumptions relating to the growth rate of the sector and the specific country risk in which each CGU operates. The "Terminal Value" was calculated applying the perpetual yield method.

As of 2019, the effects of the entry into force of IFRS 16 on Impairment Tests was also taken into account. In particular, Right-of-Use assets were included within the CGU being measured, gross of the related Lease Liabilities, and the Value in Use was determined excluding the related lease payments and using an updated discount rate, which reflects the financial leverage attributable to the lease contracts.

The discount rate (W.A.C.C.) is the average weighed cost of risk capital and borrowing cost considering the tax effects generated from the financial leverage.

Particular importance was given to the impairment tests on the goodwill allocated to the cash generating units North America of Euro 88,111 thousand (Euro 87,886 thousand at December 31, 2019), DOMS Industries Pvt Ltd (India) of Euro 33,268 thousand (Euro 33,275 thousand at December 31, 2019), Canson-Omyacolor Group of Euro 12,486 thousand (Euro 12,486 thousand at December 31, 2019), and Fila Arches of Euro 21,232 thousand. The goodwill of the above CGUs accounts for 91.7% of the Group's intangible assets with indefinite useful lives of Euro 169,212 thousand. The impairment tests performed indicated headroom of approximately Euro 225 million for the North America CGU, of Euro 9 million for the Indian CGU, Euro 159 million for the Canson CGU and Euro 47 million for Fila Arches.

The DCF (Discounted Cash Flow) method applied to the carrying amount of the above CGUs confirms their carrying amount.

As suggested by ESMA which published on October 28, 2014 the Public Statement "European common enforcement priorities for 2014 financial statements", an analysis was carried out on the sensitivity of the impairment test result to changes in the underlying assumptions used to calculate discounted cash flows. In particular, it has been verified that the Recoverable Value

remains higher than the Carrying amount in the presence of both an increase and a decrease of 0.5% in

June 30, 2020

the Growth Rate and W.A.C.C.

The above-mentioned analysis also confirmed the full recoverability of the goodwill and the reasonableness of the assumptions utilised.

The cash flows and assumptions used for the Impairment Test were approved by the Board of Directors on August 5, 2020.

Half-Year Report

June 30, 2020

"Industrial Patents and Intellectual Property Rights" amount to Euro 27 thousand at June 30, 2020 (Euro 31 thousand at December 31, 2019).

The average residual useful life of the "Industrial Patents and Intellectual Property Rights", recognised at June 30, 2020, is 5 years.

"Concessions, Licences, Trademarks and Similar Rights" amount to Euro 121,793 thousand at June 30, 2020 (Euro 115,394 thousand at December 31, 2019).

The carrying amount increased compared to December 31, 2019 by Euro 6,399 thousand, mainly due to the change in the consolidation scope of Euro 12,376 thousand, partially offset by amortisation of the period of Euro 2,555 thousand and net exchange losses of Euro 3,462 thousand. In addition, a significant amount of the amortisation relates to the "Business combinations" undertaken in 2018 and concerning the brands held by the Pacon Group (Euro 31,903 thousand) and with regards to that undertaken in 2016 and relating to the brands held by the English Group Daler Rowney (Euro 40,223 thousand) and by the Canson Group (Euro 32,400 thousand).

The other historic trademarks subject to amortisation refer principally to "Lapimex" held by F.I.L.A.- Dixon, S.A. de C.V. (Mexico) and the brands "Lyra" held by Lyra KG (Germany) and "DOMS" held by DOMS Industries Pvt Ltd (India).

The average useful life of the "Concessions, Licenses, Trademarks and Similar Rights", recognised at June 30, 2020, is 30 years. Trademarks are amortised on the basis of their useful lives and tested for impairment to below their recoverable amount when there are signs that they may have become impaired.

Other Intangible Assets amount to Euro 169,801 thousand at June 30, 2020 (Euro 165,496 thousand at December 31, 2019) and include principally "Customer Relationships" and "Development Technologies", emerging from the "Purchase Price Allocation". The change on the previous year was Euro 4,305 thousand and mainly concerned the change in the consolidation scope of Euro 10,369 thousand for the measurement by means of Purchase Price Allocation of the Customer Relationship concerning the new business unit, net investments of Euro 593 thousand and the entry into use of assets under development for a total of Euro 200 thousand, all partially offset by amortisation of the period of Euro 5,096 thousand and net exchange losses of Euro 1,762 thousand.

Amortisation was Euro 5,096 thousand and concerns in particular the "Development Technology" recognised by the companies of the Daler-Rowney Lukas Group (Euro 30,532 thousand), the Canson Group (Euro 1,500 thousand) and St. Cuthberts (UK) (Euro 2,462 thousand), identified as strategic assets through the "Purchase Price Allocation" within the business combinations undertaken in 2016 and the amount of the "Customer Relationship" determined via the "Purchase Price Allocation" as part of the business combination resulting in the acquisition of the Pacon Group (Euro 131,420

thousand).

The average useful life of "Other Intangible Assets", recognised at June 30, 2020, is 30 years.

"Assets under development" totalled Euro 2,260 thousand, entirely concerning F.I.L.A. S.p.A. and relating to investments for the installation of the new ERP system (Enterprise Resource Planning).

For the impairment tests carried out as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic, which included the carrying amount of intangible assets with finite useful lives, along with goodwill, in the capital employed of the related CGUs reference should be made to the previous paragraph.

The Group measures the loss allowance at an amount reflecting the lifetime expected credit losses of the asset. In order to establish whether the credit risk concerning a financial asset has increased significantly after initial recognition in order to assess expected credit losses, the Group considers reasonable and demonstrable information which is pertinent and available without excessive cost or burden. Quantitative and qualitative information and analysis, based on historic Group experience, to assess the asset - in addition to information indicative of expected developments - is included. The allowance was utilised for Euro 403 thousand, mainly due to the US subsidiary Dixon Ticonderoga Company (Euro 203 thousand) and the parent F.I.L.A. S.p.A. (Euro 132 thousand).

The increase compared to December 31, 2019 is principally the net effect of increases related to DOMS Industries Pvt Ltd (India) (Euro 272 thousand) and Dixon Beijing (China) (Euro 220 thousand) and the decrease related to Canson SAS (Euro 431 thousand).

Legal Reserve

At June 30, 2020, this caption amounted to Euro 8,331 thousand. The increase of Euro 566 thousand as per the Shareholders' resolution of April 22, 2020, is reported, which allocated a portion of the profit for the year to the legal reserve in accordance with Article 2430 of the Civil Code.

Share premium reserve

The reserve at June 30, 2020 amounts to Euro 154,473 thousand (Euro 153,608 thousand at December 31, 2019). The increase of Euro 865 thousand is due to the price difference of the shares allocated in application of the medium/long-term incentive plan in favour of F.I.L.A. Group management.

We highlight in addition the restriction on the distribution of a portion of the share premium reserve related to the revaluation of the investment held in the company DOMS Industries Pvt Ltd (India) (Euro

Actuarial Reserve

Following the application of IAS 19, the actuarial reserve is negative for Euro 3,173 thousand, increasing by Euro 1,041 thousand limited to the share of the F.I.L.A. Group.

Other Reserves

At June 30, 2020, the reserve is negative for Euro 46,892 thousand, decreasing by Euro 12,469 thousand on December 31, 2019. The change concerns the following events:

The fair value reserve for hedging financial instruments (IRS) entered into by F.I.L.A. S.p.A., Dixon Ticonderoga Company (U.S.A.) and Canson SAS (France); at June 30, 2020 the reserve was negative for Euro 23,775 thousand, recording an increase of Euro 10,204 thousand compared to December 31, 2019 (negative for Euro 13,571 thousand). This change relates for Euro 8 thousand to the fair value adjustment of the derivative of Canson SAS (France), for Euro 695 thousand to the fair value adjustment of the derivative of F.I.L.A. S.p.A. and for Euro 9,501 thousand to the fair value adjustment of the derivative of the US subsidiary Dixon Ticonderoga Company (U.S.A.);

"Share Based Premium" reserve, totalling Euro 2,213 thousand and decreasing by Euro 1,620 thousand compared to the previous year end, of which Euro 664 thousand following the adjustment of the probability of occurrence of the vesting condition under the medium/long-term incentive plan in favour of F.I.L.A. Group management, in view of the current economic and social environment consequent to the Covid-19 pandemic, net of the portion accruing in the period, and for Euro 956 thousand due to the exercise of the portion allocated to the US management. The accounting treatment applied is in line with the accounting standards which establish that for equity-settledshare-based payments, the fair value at the vesting date of the share options granted to employees is recorded under personnel expense, with a corresponding increase in equity within the caption "Other reserves and retained earnings", over the period in which the employees will obtain the unconditional right to the incentives. The amount recorded as cost is adjusted to reflect the effective number of incentives (options) for which the conditions have matured and the achievement of "non-market" conditions, in order that the final cost recorded is based on the number of incentives which will mature. Similarly, in the initial estimate of the fair value of the options assigned, consideration is taken of the non-maturation conditions. The changes to market value subsequent to the grant date shall not produce any financial statement effect.

The loans were initially recognised at fair value, including directly associated transaction costs. The initial carrying amount was subsequently adjusted to account for repayments of principal, any impairment losses and amortisation of the difference between the repayment amount and initial carrying amount. Amortisation is carried out on the basis of the internal effective interest rate represented by the rate equal to, at the moment of initial recognition, the present value of expected cash flows and the initial carrying amount (amortised cost method). The effect on the statement of comprehensive income in H1 2020 of the amortised cost method on the structured loan is interest expense of Euro 307 thousand (of which interest income of Euro 273 thousand concerning F.I.L.A. S.p.A. and interest expense of Euro 580 thousand concerning Dixon Ticonderoga (U.S.A.)). The non-current portion, in addition to the loan, includes also the fair value of the negotiation charges related to the derivative financial instruments.

As required by Consob Communication No. DEM/6064293 of 28/07/2006, we report that the impact of non-compliance with the covenants as established by the underlying contracts essentially concerns the possibility that the lending banks may revoke the loan contract and/or declare forfeiture of the repayment conditions upon all or part of the loans.

At June 30, 2020, the FILA Group had complied with the above covenants.

The structured debt was in any case negotiated with the lending banks in advance and no default shall be linked to any failure to comply with the financial covenants relating to the June 2020 and December 2020 tests ("covenants holiday"), while the margin to be used to calculate the interest shall continue to be based on the financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2019 (in the case in which dividends are not distributed to shareholders of FI.L.A. S.p.A. during the second half of 2020).

Level 2: input data other than listed prices (included in Level 1) which are observable for assets or liabilities, both directly (as in the case of prices) and indirectly (as derived from prices);

Level 3: input data concerning assets or liabilities which are not based on observable market data.

Note 14 - Employee Benefits

The F.I.L.A. Group companies guarantee post-employment benefits for employees, both directly and through contributions to external funds.

The means for accruing these benefits varies according to the legal, tax and economic conditions of each Country in which the Group operates. These benefits are based on remuneration and years of employee service.

The benefits recognised to employees of the Parent F.I.L.A. S.p.A. concern salary-based Post- Employment Benefits, governed by Italian legislation and in particular Article 2120 of the Italian Civil Code. The amount of these benefits is in line with the contractually-established remuneration agreed between the parties on hiring.

The other Group companies, particularly Daler Rowney Ltd (United Kingdom), Canson SAS (France), DOMS Industries Pvt Ltd (India) and Fila Hellas (Greece) guarantee post-employment benefits, both through defined contribution plans and defined benefit plans.

In the case of defined contribution plans, the Group companies pay the contributions to public or private insurance institutions based on legal or contractual obligations, or on a voluntary basis. With the payment of contributions, the companies fulfil all of their obligations. The cost is accrued based on employment rendered and is recorded under personnel expense.

The defined benefit plans may be unfunded, or they may be partially or fully funded by the contributions paid by the company, and sometimes by its employees to a company or fund, legally separate from the company which provides the benefits to the employees. The plans provide for a fixed contribution by the employees and a variable contribution by the employer, necessary to at least satisfy the funding requirements established by law and regulation in the individual countries.

Finally, the Group grants employees other long-term benefits, generally issued on the reaching of a fixed number of years of service or in the case of invalidity. In this instance, the amount of the obligation recognised in the financial statements reflects the probability that the payment will be made and the duration for which it will be made. These plans are calculated on an actuarial basis, utilising the "projected unit credit" method.

Provisions for Legal Disputes

The provisions concern accruals made in relation to:

Legal proceedings arising from ordinary operating activities;

Legal proceedings concerning disputes with employees or former employees and agents.

The provisions, compared to the previous year end, decreased by Euro 311 thousand due to the utilisations by the US subsidiary Dixon Ticonderoga Company (U.S.A.) for Euro 291 thousand. In addition, net exchange losses of Euro 21 thousand were recognised.

Pension and similar provisions

The caption includes the agents' leaving indemnity provision at June 30, 2020 of the parent F.I.L.A. S.p.A. and of the Italian subsidiaries Industria Maimeri S.p.A. and Canson Italy S.r.l.. The actuarial loss for H1 2020 was Euro 14 thousand. The actuarial changes in the year, net of the tax effect, are recognised directly in equity.

Restructuring Provisions

For the integration and reorganisation of the Group structure following the corporate transactions of recent years, a number of companies accrued provisions for risks and charges concerning personnel mobility plans for a total of Euro 735 thousand at June 30, 2020. The plans involve in particular the reorganisation of the North American strategic segment beginning in 2019, recording total utilisations of Euro 194 thousand, the majority of which by the US subsidiary Dixon Ticonderoga Company (U.S.A.) (Euro 184 thousand).

Other Provisions

These total Euro 329 thousand and decreased by Euro 514 thousand, mainly due to the utilisation of provisions for Euro 504 thousand relating to the US subsidiary Dixon Ticonderoga Company (U.S.A.) for the closure of individually insignificant positions.

Change

The change on the previous year end amounting to Euro 6,083 thousand is principally due to the deferred taxes accrued on the higher amount of intangible assets and property, plant and equipment recorded through the "Purchase Price Allocation", on the new business unit acquired for Euro 7,513 thousand, in addition to those previously recorded on the companies acquired during the preceding years (in particular the Canson Group, the Daler-Rowney Lukas Group, Pacon Corporation and DOMS Industries PVT Ltd). Against the gradual amortisation and depreciation of the assets so calculated, the Parent gradually releases the related deferred taxes.

The change in Equity (Euro 11 thousand) represents the tax effect of the "Actuarial Gains/Losses" calculated on the "Post-Employment Benefits and Employee Benefits" and recognised, in accordance with IAS 19, as an Equity reserve.

Note 17 - Financial Instruments

"Financial Instruments" at June 30, 2020 amount to Euro 23,805 thousand (Euro 13,571 thousand at December 31, 2019) and refer mainly to the fair value of derivatives on loans (hedged instrument), issued in favour of F.I.L.A. S.p.A. (Euro 4,492 thousand) and Dixon Ticonderoga Company (U.S.A.) (Euro 19,188 thousand), both for the acquisition of the Pacon Group and the refinancing of the debt contracted by F.I.L.A. S.p.A. in 2016 (in support of the M&A transactions relating to the acquisition of the Daler- Rowney Lucas Group, the Canson Group and St. Cuthberts Holding).

Canson SAS (France) also entered into hedging derivative instruments correlated with the borrowings (hedged instrument) contracted by the company in support of investments relating to the implementation of the Annonay logistics hub. The fair value of this instrument amounts to Euro 125 thousand at June 30, 2020.

The accounting treatment adopted for the hedging instruments, based on IAS 39, is based on hedge accounting and in particular that concerning "cash flow hedges" and involving the recognition of a financial asset or liability and an equity reserve.

Nota 18 - Current Tax Liabilities

"Current tax liabilities" total Euro 5,673 thousand at June 30, 2020 (Euro 7,296 thousand at December 31, 2019), relating mainly to Dixon Ticonderoga Company (U.S.A.) (Euro 2,122 thousand) and DOMS Industries Pvt Ltd (India) (Euro 1,479 thousand).

US

subsidiary Dixon Ticonderoga Company for Euro 16,126 thousand and the Indian subsidiary DOMS Industries Pvt Ltd, negative for Euro 2,623 thousand, in addition to net exchange gains of Euro 2,459 thousand.

The change is principally due to the seasonality of the F.I.L.A. Group's business, with procurement concentrated in the initial months of the year in support of production and supplies for peak sales.

The carrying amount of trade payables at the reporting date approximates their "fair value". The trade payables reported above are due within 12 months.

The caption "Tax liabilities" to third parties amounts to Euro 8,323 thousand at June 30, 2020 (Euro 9,735 thousand at December 31, 2019), of which Euro 5,979 thousand related to VAT liabilities and Euro 2,343 thousand concerning tax liabilities other than current taxes principally relating to F.I.L.A. S.p.A. (Euro 294 thousand) for consultants withholding taxes. The residual amount mainly refers to Canson SAS (France) (Euro 565 thousand), Dixon Ticonderoga Company (USA) (Euro 550 thousand) and the Dixon Group's Chinese subsidiaries (Euro 309 thousand).

"Other" amounts to Euro 24,293 thousand at June 30, 2020 (Euro 21,670 thousand at December 31,

2019) and primarily includes:

Employee wages and salaries of Euro 13,882 thousand (Euro 12,476 thousand at December 31, 2019);

Social security contributions to be paid of Euro 6,494 thousand (Euro 5,027 thousand at December 31, 2019);

Payables for agent commissions of Euro 704 thousand (Euro 208 thousand at December 31, 2019);

Residual liabilities of Euro 3,210 thousand mainly concerning advances to customers (Euro 3,950 thousand at December 31, 2019).

The carrying amount of "Tax Liabilities", "Other" and "Accrued Expenses and Deferred Income" at the reporting date approximate their fair value.

With reference to the other non-current liabilities, the balance at June 30, 2020 amounted to Euro 41 thousand and refers to deposits paid by customers to guarantee long-term supply contracts of the Indian company DOMS Industries Pvt Ltd.

In the first half of 2020, the contraction concerned, in addition to the Covid-19 pandemic, net exchange losses of Euro 164 thousand (mainly due to the weakening of the Indian Rupee and the Mexican Peso, only partially offset by the strengthening of the US Dollar) and the net negative M&A effect of Euro 1,964 thousand (from the joint impact of higher revenue of Euro 1,883 thousand following the acquisition in March 2020 of the new ARCHES® business unit and the lower revenue of Euro 3,847 thousand following the sale of the "Superior" brand business in October 2019).

For further details, reference should be made to the "Normalised financial performance" and "Disclosure by operating segment" sections of the Directors' Report.

The change in "Services and Use of Third Party Assets" compared to H1 2019 was Euro 8,163 thousand. This change is mainly due to lower variable production costs, such as transport costs and sale incentive costs, as impacted by the drop in revenue, in addition to the actions taken by the management to contain commercial, administrative and marketing overheads. Consultancy costs principally increased as a result of the M&A carried out by the Parent F.I.L.A. S.p.A.
