BOARD OF DIRECTORS' REPORT

ON OPERATIONS OF THE SOGEFI GROUP

IN THE FIRST HALF YEAR

These condensed interim financial statements include the Group consolidated financial statements and explanatory and supplementary notes prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standards ("IFRS") issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") approved by the European Union and prepared according to "IAS 34 - Interim Financial Reporting" applicable on interim financial reporting.

THE AUTOMOTIVE MARKET IN THE FIRST HALF YEAR 2020

In the first half of 2020 the world automotive market suffered an unprecedented decline following the spread of the Covid-19 pandemic throughout the world and the resulting necessary restrictive measures adopted by local governments or applied independently by businesses with a view to protecting their workers and the population at large. These measures led to an almost total suspension of non-essential production activities and in particular of automotive production. This shutdown took place first of all in China and then in March and April in the remaining geographical areas. The current situation is that business has resumed everywhere, in China with volumes even greater than those of last year and in Europe and NAFTA with significantly reduced volumes. The most critical areas in terms of production are currently South America and India.

In figures, the world's automotive production recorded a 33.2% fall compared to the first half of 2019: -41.7% in the EU, -39.9% in North America, -24.9% in Asia and -50.6% in South America. In June 2020, the market recovered to some extent (with the gap compared to world volumes in 2019 falling to -21.2%), mainly thanks to the Chinese market (+14.1%); the trend in the EU and NAFTA also improved, but volumes were still very small (- 31.2% and - 24.3%, respectively). Lastly, the situation remains very critical in Mercosur (-56%).

INFORMATION ON OPERATIONS

During the first half of the year the company's top priority was the safety of its workforce. From the moment when news of the Covid-19phenomenon in China was received, action was taken immediately to reduce the risk of contagion, starting with an increase in working from home. Subsequently all the health and safety precautions defined and required by the various local authorities or by the company were put in place in the factories and workplaces. In this context the company has revised its production procedures in all geographical areas to implement the safety protocols with regard to social distancing and the use of personal protection equipment.

Secondly, every effort was made to mitigate the impact of the crisis and the resulting decline in sales on the company's results and financial standing as much as possible; a plan was rapidly adopted to variabilize costs and limit cash consumption, and more specifically:

4

  • variable costs of sales decreased in proportion to the decline in sales, and reduced the impact of production inefficiencies associated with business discontinuity and low volumes to a minimum;
  • fixed costs were reduced by 27% in the first half and by 45% just in the second quarter, percentages lower than the fall in sales but still very significant;
  • investments were reduced by 24% compared to the same period in 2019, although investments in safety and in Group strategic activities were not impacted.

Lastly, the group has reformulated its medium-long term plan (2020-2024),with the aim of preserving profitability and cash generation despite the uncertain prospects regarding the recovery of the market.

RESULTS FOR THE FIRST HALF YEAR 2020

During the first half of 2020, the sales revenues of Sogefi amounted to Euro 519.5 million, down 33.2% at historical exchange rates and 31.2% at constant exchange rates compared to the first half of 2019.

After the first two months of the year when revenues at constant exchange rates were up by 1%, as from March the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic were evident and became particularly serious in April (-79.5%) and May (-64.5%), while June saw a significant recovery with a considerably lower decline than in the same period of 2019 (-24.9%).

In the different geographical areas where the Group operates, the performance of revenues at constant exchange rates was significantly better than that of the market: - 32.2% in Europe, compared to -41.7% for the market, -30.5% in North America, compared to -39.9% for the market, +4% in China, compared to -19.7% for the market. On the other hand, the overall decline in revenues was in line with that recorded by the world market, as the group's business is concentrated in the markets that recorded the worst decline (Europe and NAFTA), compared with a less significant presence in China, where the decline in the market was decidedly smaller.

Among the different business sectors, Filtration (with a 25.7% drop in revenues at constant exchange rates) and Air and Cooling (-29.1% at constant exchange rates) performed decidedly better than the market thanks to the greater resilience of the

5

OES and Aftermarket channels in the case of Filtration, and to the development of the contract portfolio, particularly in North America, in the case of Air and Cooling. The impact of the crisis on Suspensions was greater, with a 38.2% drop in revenues at constant exchange rates, reflecting the greater concentration of business in Europe and Mercosur and the sector's performance in these areas.

The dramatic drop in volumes caused by market trends as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic greatly affected the Group's economic results, despite the bold mitigation measures adopted.

EBITDA1 amounted to Euro 47.0 million, compared to Euro 86.4 million in the same period of 2019, mainly due to the drop in volumes. However, profitability (EBITDA / Revenues %) was 9.1% and was only 2 percentage points below that of the same period of 2019 (11.1%), thanks to the cost variabilization measures implemented.

1 EBITDA is calculated by adding "EBIT", the item "Depreciation and amortization" and the amount of writedowns of tangible and intangible assets posted in "Other non-operating expenses (income)" for Euro 6.4 million at 30 June 2020 (Euro 1.9 million in the corresponding period last year).

6

In particular, the contribution margin showed a slight improvement compared to the first half of 2019, rising from 29.4% to 29.8% due to the favourable development of the impact of the cost of raw materials, partly due to market phenomena and partly to the plans implemented since last year to optimise the purchase prices of steel for the production of suspensions, which offset the impact of the inevitable production inefficiencies when production is suspended and resumed, as well as by low volumes.

The relative impact of fixed costs rose by approximately 2 percentage points, an increase that was relatively limited considering the size of the collapse in revenues. This was thanks to the limitation measures adopted, some of which were temporary while others are destined to be become structural.

EBIT was negative for Euro 18.8 million compared to a positive result of Euro 24.4 million in the first half of 2019. The reduction in EBIT reflects the reduction in EBITDA as a result of the drop in revenues mentioned above; it also reflects the negative effect of exchange rate fluctuations of Euro 4 million (Euro 1.8 million in the first half of 2019) recorded by the Group's assets in North and South America, restructuring charges of Euro 7.3 million (Euro 4.3 million in the first half of 2019) and write-downs of assets of Euro 6.4 million (Euro 1.9 million in the previous year).

In terms of net profit, the Group recorded a loss of Euro 28.8 million compared with a profit of Euro 6.9 million in the first half of 2019, after financial charges substantially in line with those of the previous year and tax income of Euro 1 million compared with tax expense of Euro 8.3 million in the previous year.

Regarding Free Cash Flow, in the first half of 2020 Euro 64.0 million were consumed compared to Euro 8.8 million in the first half of 2019. The reduction in business activity and thus in EBITDA led to a contraction of operating cash flow that was only partly offset by the lower outflow for investments. It should also be noted that around 80% of the amount consumed was due to the increase in working capital

8

caused by the particular circumstances that occurred in the second quarter of the year. Indeed, as is generally the case in the sector, customer receivables are received more quickly than the timing of payment to suppliers, partly because of factoring. As sales plummeted in the second quarter, sums received from customers were lower, while disbursements to suppliers continued. This imbalance should gradually be absorbed as business recovers.

PERFORMANCE OF THE PARENT COMPANY SOGEFI S.p.A.

Net loss in the first half of 2020 amounted to Euro 5.8 million compared to a net profit of Euro 32.7 million in the corresponding period of the previous year. Because the situation is particularly uncertain in almost all of the countries where the group operates, the distribution of dividends from subsidiaries to Sogefi S.p.A. has been suspended.

PERFORMANCE OF THE SOGEFI GROUP (*)

PERFORMANCE OF THE FILTRATION BUSINESS UNIT

In the first half of 2020, the Filtration business unit reported revenues of Euro 197.0 million, down 28.1% at current exchange rates compared to the same period of the previous year (-25.7% at constant exchange rates), performing significantly better than the market especially in Europe, where business was driven by sales in the OES and Aftermarket channels.

In terms of profitability, the business unit was affected more severely by the crisis than the Group's other businesses, with EBITDA margin before restructuring costs dropping by 4.2 p.p. and non-recurring charges for restructuring and exchange rate differences significantly higher than in the previous year.

EBIT was negative for Euro 11.6 million compared to Euro +8.9 million during the first half of 2019.

Employees of the business unit at 30 June 2020 were 2,730 (3,132 at 31 December 2019).

PERFORMANCE OF THE SUSPENSION BUSINESS UNIT

In the first six months of 2020, the Suspension business unit reported revenues of Euro 172.7 million, down by 40.9% (-38.2% at constant exchange rates), which reflects the sales trends in the different geographical areas in line with the performance of their markets.

In terms of profitability, the EBITDA margin before restructuring costs fell by 2.5 p.p., with a slight improvement in the contribution margin, an increase in the impact of fixed costs, despite the containment measures taken, due to division volumes falling significantly.

EBIT amounted to Euro -8.1 million compared to Euro 6.4 million during the first half of 2019. The decline reflects lower volumes and deteriorating profitability.

Employees of the business unit at 30 June 2020 were 2,360 (2,400 at 31 December 2019).

PERFORMANCE OF THE AIR AND COOLING BUSINESS UNIT

In the first six months of 2020, the Air and Cooling business unit reported revenues of Euro 150.8 million, down by 29.3% at historical exchange rates and by 29.1% at constant exchange rates. In all geographical areas, revenue performance was better than that of the market.

The EBIT amounted to Euro 0.3 million, compared to Euro 11.1 million in the first six months of 2019. Noteworthy is the resilience of the business unit in the face of crisis, reporting an EBITDA margin in line with that of 2019.

Employees of the business unit at 30 June 2020 were 1,217 (1,231 at 31 December 2019).

  1. It should be noted that in 2020 the management redefined the perimeter of the Filtration Business Unit and Air and Cooling Business Unit. For comparative purposes, the 2019 values have also been reclassified on the basis of the new perimeter.

In the second quarter of 2020, Sogefi posted revenue drop of 56.4% (-54.5% at constant exchange rates) amounting to Euro 169.3 million.

The EBITDA amounted to Euro 12.1 million (Euro 45.1 million in the corresponding period of 2019), as a result of fixed costs being curbed at 45% (amounting to Euro 29.8 million). Impact on sales revenues fell from 11.6% to 7.1%.

EBIT was negative for Euro 22.5 million (compared to Euro +13.0 million in the second quarter of 2019), due to the dramatic drop in volumes.

The result before taxes was a negative Euro 27.3 million (Euro +8.3 million in the second quarter 2019), after financial expenses of Euro 4.8 million (Euro 4.7 million in the same period of the previous year).

The Group's net result in the second quarter 2020 was negative at Euro 23.2 million compared with Euro +5.3 million in the previous year.

15

INVESTMENTS AND RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES

The investments totalled Euro 47.7 million in the first half year 2020 (Euro 62.9 million in the first half of the previous year).

The company decided to go ahead with all investments in the development of new products (Euro 20.4 million) and in the start-up of the new Suspension plant in Romania (Euro 7.5 million), which are essential for growth and improvement of business profitability.

Conversely, investments aimed at increasing the production capacity of existing plants and lines were reduced (-66%), as they lost their strategic importance in light of the economic situation and forecasts for medium-term volumes.

In detail, investment in tangible fixed assets amounted to Euro 36.4 million (Euro 47 million in the first half year 2019) and include capitalised tooling (IFRS 15) for Euro

14.5 million (Euro 19.1 million in the first six months of 2019) and recognised rights of use (IFRS 16) for Euro 0.9 million (Euro 8.9 million in the first half of 2019). The investments in tangible fixed assets (excluding IFRS 15/16 effects) hence totalled Euro 21 million (Euro 19 million in the first half of 2019). While the investments in intangible fixed assets amounted to Euro 11.3 million (Euro 15.9 million in the first half of 2019).

IMPACT OF COVID-19 ON OPERATIONS

Following the spread of the Covid-19 pandemic, Sogefi first suspended production in China and then in the second half of March suspended production in almost all of its facilities. At the present time, production in China has returned to monthly levels in line with the Company's estimates made before the crisis. In the other factories production has gradually resumed since May, after their main customers started up again. However volumes are still significantly lower than forecast at the start of the year.

With regard to the impact of the pandemic on the Group, pre-Covid-19 estimates predicted a 2020 turnover basically in line with 2019.

In the first two months of the year, the Company achieved higher than expected volumes, followed by an extremely significant drop and a gradual recovery in June. As a result of these circumstances, Sogefi reported revenues of Euro 519.5 million, down by 33.2% compared to the same period of the previous year - a decline that is nearly totally traced back to the effects of the crisis. While the decline in volumes was partly offset by the reduction in fixed costs, it nevertheless had a negative impact estimated at Euro 50 million on EBIT and Euro 39 million on Net Result, as well as a significant increase in debt.

In addition to putting in place a response to reduce the impact of the crisis from March to the present, the company has also taken action in order to adapt to changed market conditions and quickly restore a balanced economic/financial standing, even in a scenario of reduced volumes - such as presently forecast for the second half of the year and 2021.

16

TREASURY SHARES

As at 30 June 2020, the Parent Company has 2,164,214 treasury shares in its portfolio, corresponding to 1.8017% of share capital, at an average price of Euro 2.28 each. In the first half year 2020, treasury shares decreased after they were assigned to beneficiaries of stock-based compensation plans. No treasury shares were purchased during the first half of 2020.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Information on the most important economic transactions and balances with related parties is provided in the explanatory and supplementary notes to the consolidated financial statements, in the section entitled "Related Party Transactions".

Dealings between Group companies are conducted at arm's length, taking into account the quality and type of services rendered.

We point out that no transactions have been carried out with related parties or with entities or individuals other than related parties that, according to the definition used by Consob, are atypical or unusual, do not relate to the normal business activity or have a significant impact on the Group's results, balance and financial position.

In 2010 in accordance with Consob Regulation no. 17221 of 12 March 2010 and subsequent amendments, the Company's Board of Directors appointed the Related Party Transactions Committee, establishing that the members are to be the same as those of the Control and Risks Committee and approved the "Discipline for related- party transactions", which had previously received a favourable opinion of the Control and Risks Committee. The purpose of this Procedure is to establish the principles of conduct that the Company is bound to observe to guarantee the correct management of related-party transactions. This Procedure is available on the Company's website at www.sogefigroup.com, in the "Investor - Corporate Governance" section.

In accordance with Art. 2497 bis of Italian Civil Code, we point out that Sogefi S.p.A. is subject to management and coordination by its parent company CIR S.p.A.

DISCLOSURES PURSUANT TO ART. 70 AND 71 OF CONSOB RULES FOR ISSUERS

Under a resolution of the Board of Directors of 23 October 2012, the Company adopted the simplified procedure provided for by art. 70, paragraph 8 and art. 71, paragraph 1-bis of Consob Regulation issued under Consob Resolution no. 11971 of 14 May 1999 as amended, and made use of the exemption from the obligation to publish the information documents required for significant transactions consisting in mergers, spin-offs, capital increases by means of the conferral of assets in kind, takeovers and transfers.

SIGNIFICANT SUBSEQUENT EVENTS AFTER 30 JUNE 2020

No significant events occurred after 30 June 2020 such as could have an impact on the condensed interim consolidated financial statements.

OUTLOOK FOR OPERATIONS

It is hard to tell how markets will behave in the coming months; as regards the pandemic, it seems to have been reliably contained in Europe, whereas North and South America have not yet entered the containment phase. Moreover, there is still the risk of a second wave of Covid-19 and at present it is still difficult to predict how the macroeconomic circumstances created by the pandemic will impact demand in the automotive sector.

For the second half of 2020, IHS predicts that, if a second wave of Covid-19 and the subsequent restrictions on production and associated adverse market impacts are avoided, world production could stand at -10% compared to the second half of 2019. On the other hand, market analysts tend to be more cautious with their forecasts, and expect a decline of the world market ranging from -15% to -30% - the latter figure being forecast in the event of a second wave of Covid-19.

In this uncertain scenario, Sogefi has built its expectations for the second half of the year on an assumed decline of around -20% in world markets, in which case it expects to achieve a slightly positive EBIT, excluding restructuring costs, a significant reduction in net loss compared to the first half of the year and a slightly positive free cash flow.

Moreover, in light of such uncertain market outlook for future years, Sogefi has launched a plan to significantly cut fixed costs, which will be completed by the first half of 2021, as well as actions to downsize its footprint and reorganise the management of suppliers.

Although the Company owns financial resources in excess of its current needs and does not foresee an increase in debt above the level recorded at the end of June 2020, uncertainty over future market trends and the oncoming natural maturities of existing loans have led it to begin negotiations with its long-standing financial partners to renew existing loans and obtain new medium-term loans for a total value in the order of Euro 100 million.

DEFINITION OF THE PERFORMANCE INDICATORS

In accordance with recommendation CESR/05-178b published on 3 November 2005 and subsequent new ESMA guideline no. 1095/2010/EU of 15 October 2015, the criteria used for constructing the main performance indicators deemed by the management to be useful for the purpose of monitoring Group performance are provided below.

EBITDA: EBITDA is calculated as the sum of "EBIT", "Depreciation and Amortization" and the impairment losses of tangible and intangible fixed assets included in the item "Other non-operating expenses (income)".

"Other non-operating expenses (income)" include amounts that do not relate to ordinary business activities such as:

  • writedowns of tangible and intangible fixed assets
  • imputed cost of stock grant plans

  • product warranty costs
  • strategic consulting services

"Restructuring costs" include voluntary redundancy incentives for all employee categories (managers, clerical staff, blue collar workers) and costs relating to the shutdown of a plant or the discontinuation of individual business lines (personnel costs and related costs associated with shutdown).

"Losses (gains) on disposal" include the difference between the net book value of sold assets and selling price.

Please note that at 30 June 2020 there are no non-recurring charges as defined by Consob in its communication no. DEM/6064293 of 28 July 2006.

A) GENERAL ASPECTS

1. CONTENT AND FORMAT OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The condensed interim consolidated financial statements (also half-year condensed consolidated financial statements) for the period 1 January - 30 June 2020 have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") and adopted by the European Union and have been prepared according to IAS 34 - "Interim Financial Reporting", applying the same accounting policies used in the preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements at 31 December 2019 except as provided by note no. 2 "Consolidation principles and accounting policies". "IFRS" also means the International Accounting Standards ("IAS") currently in force, as well as all of the interpretation documents issued by the International Financial Reporting Standards Interpretations Committee ("IFRS IC", formerly "IFRIC") previously called the Standing Interpretations Committee ("SIC"). To this end, the figures of the financial statements of the consolidated subsidiaries have been appropriately reclassified and adjusted.

As a partial exception to IAS 34 provisions, these condensed interim consolidated financial statements provide detailed as opposed to condensed statements in order to provide a better and clearer overview of the changes that have taken place in the Company's assets and liabilities, financial position and results during the half-year.

They also contain the explanatory and supplementary notes required by IAS 34 with the additional information considered useful for a clearer understanding of these half- year consolidated financial statements.

The condensed interim consolidated financial statements as at 30 June 2020 should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements as at 31 December 2019. With reference to IAS 1, the Board Directors confirm that, considering the economic forecasts, the capitalisation and the financial position of the Group, the same operates as a going concern (for more details, please refer to note 2 "Consolidation principles and accounting policies").

The condensed interim consolidated financial statements as at 30 June 2020 were approved by the Board of Directors on 27 July 2020.

1.1 Format of the consolidated financial statements

The financial statements as at 30 June 2020 are consistent with those used for the annual report as at 31 December 2019.

The Income Statement also provides the following intermediate results in order to give a clearer understanding of the typical results of normal manufacturing activities, the financial side of the business and the impact of taxation:

  • Contribution margin;
  • EBIT (earnings before interest and tax);
  • Result before taxes;
  • Net income (loss) of operating activities;
  • Net result before non-controlling interests;
  • Group net result

28

1.2 Content of the consolidated financial statements

The condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the six-month period ending 30 June 2020 include the Parent Company Sogefi S.p.A. and its controlled subsidiaries.

Section H of these notes gives a list of the companies included in the scope of consolidation and the percentages held.

These financial statements are presented in Euro and all figures are rounded up or down to the nearest thousand Euro, unless otherwise indicated.

Group companies prepare their financial statements in the local functional currency of the country concerned.

The functional currency of the Parent Company is the Euro and this is the presentation currency in which the consolidated financial statement is prepared and published.

The condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared according to the consolidation method on a line-by-line basis of the statements of Sogefi S.p.A., the Parent Company, and those of all Italian and foreign companies under its control.

No changes were made to the scope of consolidation during the period.

2. CONSOLIDATION PRINCIPLES AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The consolidation and accounting policies applied in preparing the condensed consolidated financial statements for the six-month period ended 30 June 2020 are consistent with those used for the annual financial statements as of 31 December 2019 to which the reader should refer.

Going concern

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.

In this regard, it should be noted that the Company, like the entire automotive sector in which it operates, is experiencing a totally unpredictable crisis of extraordinary severity due to the Covid-19 pandemic and its consequences in terms of suspended production activities and sharply falling demand. This gave rise to certain uncertainty factors that have been and continue to be monitored by management, which also initiated activities aimed specifically at mitigating these uncertainties as far as possible.

In the first half of 2020, the Group's turnover fell by more than 30% compared with 2019 and a significant reduction in volumes, albeit lower than that in the first half, is expected for the second half of the year, too.

This drop in volumes resulted in a significant worsening of economic results and financial and equity indicators: EBITDA, despite the mitigation measures adopted, fell by 46%, net result was negative for Euro 28.8 million and pre-IFRS 16 net debt increased by 28% (from Euro 256.2 million at 31 December 2019 to Euro 327.0 million at 30 June 2020).

In light of the above, management developed a new five-year plan that takes into account the impact of the current crisis in terms of profit and equity and what kind of expectations can be formulated presently as to market recovery in coming years.

On 6 July 2020, management presented the plan to the Board of Directors, that approved it. It points out that, even based on prudential assumptions about the speed and extent of the recovery, the measures proposed in the plan to protect margins and reduce fixed costs would make it possible to safeguard the company's profitability and financial balance.

In addition, with regard to specific financial risks, the Company was in compliance with the covenants at 30 June and, based on the plan, there is currently no risk of breach upon the next maturity dates.

Based on the expected cash flows and the maturity dates of existing loan agreements, the plan assumes that the company will be able to renew lines at maturity and open new lines for a total of Euro 100 million over the next nine months. This will provide the Group with the financial resources needed to fund the plan, including a liquidity reserve that enable it to deal with possible fluctuations in such an uncertain phase.

In this regard, management has begun negotiations with key long-standing financial partners to renew an existing line and obtain new credit lines within the framework of the regulations in force in France and Italy on loans backed by state guarantees, as it has been confirmed that the Company meets the eligibility requirements.

31

Based on the above considerations, and taking into account:

  • the plan, that provides for sustainable debt over the period under consideration,
  • that the loan agreement conditions, with special regard to the covenants, were complied with at June 30 and compliance was expected, based on projections, at the subsequent maturities,
  • that the French and Italian governments have made available certain facilities to companies in order to mitigate the risk of difficult access to credit,
  • that management assessments confirmed that the company is eligible for the loans backed by public guarantees,
  • the information provided by management concerning the willingness of banks to evaluate new loans to support the Company,

the Board of Directors believes that the going concern assumption remains appropriate.

Critical estimates and assumptions

The preparation of the condensed interim consolidated financial statements requires Directors to make estimates and assumptions, which affect the values of revenues, costs, assets and liabilities and the information regarding potential assets and liabilities as at the date of the condensed interim consolidated financial statements. If in the future said estimates and assumptions, which are based on the best estimates of the Directors, should change due to actual circumstances, they will be adjusted accordingly in the period in which said circumstances change.

It should also be noted that some measurement processes, in particular the more complex ones, such as the calculation of any impairment of non-current assets, are generally fully made only when the annual financial statements are prepared, when all of the information that may be required is available, with the exception of the cases in which there are impairment indicators that require the performance of an impairment test.

Sogefi believes the spread of the Covid-19 pandemic and the associated worsening economic and financial results of the Group to be trigger events of a possible impairment loss on non-financial assets. In accordance with IAS 36, the main fixed assets at 30 June 2020 were tested for impairment.

The impairment tests were based on the new 2020-2024 plan prepared by management and approved by the Board of Directors on 6 July 2020. These impairment tests led to write-downs of Euro 1.8 million for the most part of research and development projects.

The risks that non-financial assets connected the active revenue cycle (e.g. inventory and receivables) and deferred tax assets may become impossible to recover were also assessed. As a result of these assessments, no significant write-downs were made.

The potential impacts of the following items were also assessed:

  • amendments to lease contracts;
  • changes in contractual relations with customers;
  • government grants and effects on the recognition/classification of costs and employee benefits;

32

  • derivatives

The assessments made did not reveal any significant impact on the consolidated half- year financial statements.

More specifically, the main items subjected to such assessments are as follows:

  • goodwill (Euro 126,639 thousand at 30 June 2020): the Group carried out the impairment test at 30 June 2020, taking into account expected trends as determined based on the 2020-2024multi-year plan (adjusted to eliminate any estimated benefits from future projects and reorganisations). The 2020- 2024 plan was approved by the Board of Directors on 6 July 2020. The impairment test, based on such forecasts, does not indicate a need for write- down;
  • recoverability of deferred tax assets for tax losses (Euro 4,483 thousand as at 30 June 2020): as at 30 June 2020 recognised deferred tax assets for tax losses incurred during previous years (referred to subsidiaries Sogefi Suspension S.A., Sogefi Air and Cooling S.A.S., Sogefi Filtration d.o.o., Sogefi (Suzhou) Auto Parts Co., Ltd, Sogefi Filtration Spain S.A.U., Sogefi Filtration Argentina S.A.) and deferred tax assets for tax losses of the period (referred to subsidiaries Sogefi (Suzhou) Auto Parts Co., Ltd, Sogefi Filtration d.o.o. and Sogefi Suspension Argentina S.A.) to the extent that the availability of future taxable income is considered probable, over the time horizon of the plan, against which the tax losses can be used for the subsidiaries. Such probability is also determined based on the fact that such losses have originated under extraordinary circumstances, such as past or on- going restructuring, that are unlikely to occur again in the future.
    With reference to the Parent Company Sogefi S.p.A., taxes are recognised in the income statement under "Current taxes" to the extent that the loss is actually offset against taxable income generated within the CIR Group tax filing system. Any tax losses carried forward in excess of the offset amount will be recognised as deferred tax assets as they are likely to be recovered taking into account that the Parent Company has joined the CIR Group tax filing system permanently. Any ability to recover such tax will be based on expected future taxable income according to the forecasts involving the companies participating in the CIR Group tax filing system;
  • pension plans (Euro 60,305 thousand as of 30 June 2020): actuaries who offer their consulting services to the Group use different statistic assumptions in order to anticipate future events for the purpose of estimating pension plan expenses, liabilities and assets. Such assumptions concern discount rate, expected return on pension plan assets (this particular assumption concerns nearly exclusively British pension funds), future wage inflation rates, mortality and turnover rates;
  • derivatives (Euro 6,431 thousand for assets and Euro 221 thousand for liabilities as at 30 June 2020): the estimate of derivatives fair value and the efficacy test on derivatives held for "hedge accounting" were performed with the aid of external consultants based on valuation models commonly used in the industry.

Investments in the half year amounted to Euro 11,338 thousand.

The increases in "Development costs" amount to Euro 5,469 thousand and refer to the capitalisation of costs incurred by Group companies to develop new products in collaboration with leading motor vehicle manufacturers. The most significant investments refer to the subsidiaries Sogefi Air & Cooling Canada Corp., Sogefi (Suzhou) Auto Parts Co., Ltd, Sogefi Filtration S.A. and Sogefi Air and Cooling S.A.S..

Increases in "Industrial patents and intellectual property rights, concessions, licences and trademarks" amount to Euro 144 thousand and refer to the development and implementation of the new information system across the Sogefi Group. This integrated information system is amortised on a ten-year basis, based on its estimated useful life, starting from the date of implementation in each subsidiary.

Increases in "Other, assets under construction and payments on account", for the amount of Euro 5,725 thousand, refer mainly to a large number of investments in the development and implementation of the new products not yet flowed into production. The most significant among them were recorded in subsidiaries Sogefi Air & Cooling S.A.S., S.C. Sogefi Air & Cooling S.r.l. Inc., Sogefi U.S.A., Inc., Sogefi Suspensions Eastern Europe S.R.L., Sogefi Engine Systems India Pvt Ltd. and Sogefi Suspensions S.A..

"Write-downs/revaluations during the period" totalled Euro 3,289 thousand and relates to no longer recoverable research and development projects, mainly of Sogefi U.S.A., Inc. (Euro 1,170 thousand) and of the European subsidiaries.

44

There are no intangible assets with an indefinite useful life except for goodwill.

Goodwill and impairment test

Goodwill is not amortised, but at least subjected each year to impairment test or in case of trigger events.

The Company identified five Cash Generating Units (CGUs):

  1. filtration
  1. Air and Cooling o car suspension
    o industrial vehicle suspension o precision springs

For the moment, it is possible to identify goodwill deriving from external acquisitions in three CGUs: Filtration, Air and Cooling and Car Suspension.

The specific goodwill of CGU "filtration" amounts to Euro 77,030 thousand; the goodwill of CGU "Air and Cooling" amounts to Euro 32,560 thousand; and the goodwill of C.G.U. "Car Suspension" amounts to Euro 17,049 thousand.

Impairment tests have been carried out in accordance with the procedure laid down in IAS 36 to check whether there have been any losses in the value of this goodwill, by comparing the book value of the individual CGUs with their value in use, given by the present value of estimated future cash flows that are expected to result from the continuing use of the asset being tested for impairment.

We used the Discounted Cash Flow Unlevered model. The Group took into account the expected performance as determined based on the new 2020-2024 plan (adjusted to eliminate any estimated benefits from future projects and reorganisations) approved by the Board of Directors on 6 July 2020 for the following years. The plan was prepared taking into account forecasts for the automotive industry made by major sources in the industry.

A discount rate of 8.97%, which reflects the weighted average cost of capital, was used. The same discount rate is used for all three CGUs. As a matter of fact, the three CGUs operate in the same sector and deal with the same kind of customers, and it is estimated that they are exposed to the same risks.

The terminal value was calculated using the "perpetual annuity" approach, assuming a growth rate ("g-rate") of 2% (assumed to be conservative when compared to the forecasts for the automotive segment available from major sources of the industry) and considering an operating cash flow based on the last year of the projection (the year 2024), adjusted to project a stable situation "in perpetuity", based on the following main assumptions:

  • a balance between capital investment and depreciation (according to the rationale of considering the level of investment needed to "maintain" the business);
  • change in working capital equal to zero.

As regards the average cost of capital, we calculated a weighted average of the cost of debt (taking into consideration the benchmark interest rates plus a spread) and the Company's own cost of capital, based on parameters for a group of firms operating in the European car components sector which are considered by the leading industry

45

analysts to be Sogefi's peers. The values used to calculate the average cost of capital (extrapolated from the main financial sources) are as follows:

  • financial structure of the industry: 31.6%
  • levered beta of the industry: 1.10
  • risk-freerate: 3.13% (annual average of risk-free rates of 10 year sovereign debt of the key markets in which the Group operates, weighted by revenues)
  • risk premium: 8.1% (average risk premium calculated by an independent source for the key markets in which the Group operates, weighted by revenues)
  • debt cost spread: 3.1% (estimate based on the 2020 forecast)

As far as the sensitivity analysis goes, it should be noted that:

  • the impairment test reached the break-even point at the following discounting rates (growth rate of terminal value remaining unchanged at 2% and all other plan assumptions being equal): 13.8% for CGU Filtration; 18.8% for CGU Air and Cooling; and 10.9% for CGU Car Suspension;
  • the impairment test reached break-even point with a significant reduction in EBIT during the explicit period covered by the plan that was also applied to terminal value (all other plan assumptions being equal): -44.7% in CGU Filtration; -60.4% in CGU Air and Cooling; and -24.7% in CGU Car Suspension;
  • the impairment test reached break-even point at the following decreasing rates of the terminal value "g-rate" (all other plan assumptions being equal): -5.3% in CGU Filtration; -15.2% in CGU Air and Cooling; and -0.5% in CGU Car Suspension.

The test based on the present value of the estimated future cash flows turns out a value in use of the CGUs that exceeds their carrying value, so no write-down has been posted.

10. INVESTMENTS IN JOINT VENTURES

As at 30 June 2020, this item amounts to zero.

11. OTHER FINANCIAL ASSETS

As at 30 June 2020, this item amounts to Euro 46 thousand, unchanged compared to the previous fiscal year.

12. FINANCIAL RECEIVABLES AND OTHER NON-CURRENT RECEIVABLES

Financial receivables total Euro 6,367 thousand (Euro 6,803 thousand as of 31 December 2019) and refer to the fair value of Cross Currency Swap (CCS) hedging contracts. For further details, please refer to note 47.

The item "Other receivables" also includes tax credits relating to the research and development activities of the French subsidiaries, other tax credits and non-interest bearing guarantee deposits for leased properties. These receivables will be collected over the coming years.

46

13. DEFERRED TAX ASSETS

As at 30 June 2020, this item amounts to Euro 37,716 thousand compared to Euro 36,988 thousand as of 31 December 2019.

This amount mainly relates to the expected benefits on deductible temporary differences, booked to the extent that it is likely to be recovered.

This item also includes deferred tax assets for tax losses of Euro 4,483 thousand (Euro 4,860 thousand as at 31 December 2019).

Taxes for tax losses incurred during the period amount to Euro 237 thousand and relate to subsidiaries Sogefi (Suzhou) Auto Parts Co., Ltd, Sogefi Filtration d.o.o. and Sogefi Suspension Argentina S.A..

Taxes for tax losses incurred in previous years amount to Euro 4,246 thousand and relate to subsidiaries Sogefi Suspensions S.A. (Euro 1,397 thousand; same amount as at 31 December 2019), Sogefi Air & Cooling S.A.S. (Euro 1,072 thousand, Euro 1,347 thousand as at 31 December 2019), Sogefi (Suzhou) Auto Parts Co., Ltd (Euro 332 thousand; Euro 531 thousand as at 31 December 2019), Sogefi Filtration Spain S.A.U. (Euro 876 thousand; same amount as at 31 December 2019), Sogefi Filtration d.o.o. (Euro 351 thousand, same amount as at 31 December 2019) and Sogefi Filtration Argentina S.A. (Euro 218 thousand; Euro 233 thousand at 31 December 2019).

With regard to the above mentioned subsidiaries, these taxes were recognised because it is believed to be probable that taxable income will be available in the future - within the time frame of the business plan - against which such tax losses can be utilised. Such probability is determined based on the fact that losses have originated under extraordinary circumstances that are unlikely to occur again, such as restructuring plans currently under way or occurred in the past.

The losses of the French and Spanish subsidiaries can be carried forward indefinitely but new law passed in 2012 in France and in 2016 in Spain has maintained a limit for the amount that can be utilised each year, making recovery time longer. The losses of the Slovenian subsidiary can also be carried forward indefinitely but there is a limit for the amount that can be utilised each year. The losses of the Chinese and Argentine subsidiaries can be carried forward over a period of up to 5 years since they were incurred.

Retained earnings

These totalled Euro 176,744 thousand and include amounts of profit that have not been distributed.

    22. SALES REVENUES Revenues from sales and services

During the first half of 2020, Sogefi reported sales revenues for the amount of Euro

519.5 million, down 33.2% at historical exchange rates and 31.2% at constant exchange rates compared to the first half of 2019.

Among the different business sectors, Filtration (with a 25.7% drop in revenues at constant exchange rates) and Air and Cooling (-29.1% at constant exchange rates) performed decidedly better than the market thanks to the greater resilience of the OES and Aftermarket channels in the case of Filtration, and to the development of the contract portfolio, particularly in North America, in the case of Air and Cooling. The impact of the crisis on Suspensions was greater, with a 38.2% drop in revenues at constant exchange rates, reflecting the greater concentration of business in Europe and Mercosur and the sector's performance in these areas.

In the different geographical areas where the Group operates, the performance of revenues at constant exchange rates was significantly better than that of the market: - 32.2% in Europe, compared to -41.7% for the market, -30.5% in North America, compared to -39.9% for the market, +4% in China, compared to -19.7% for the market. On the other hand, the overall decline in revenues was in line with that recorded by the world market, as the group's business is concentrated in the markets that recorded the worst decline (Europe and NAFTA), compared with a less significant presence in China, where the decline in the market was decidedly smaller.

61

23. SEASONAL NATURE OF SALES

The type of products sold by the company and the sectors in which the Group operates mean that revenues record a reasonably linear trend over the course of the year and are not subject to particular cyclical phenomena when considered on a like- for-like basis.

Sales by half-year period for the past two years are shown below:

Sogefi S.p.A. implements stock-based incentive plans for the employees of the Company and of its subsidiaries that hold important positions of responsibility within

66

the Group. The purpose is to foster greater loyalty to the Group and to provide an incentive that will raise their commitment to improving business performance and generating value in the long term.

The stock-based incentive plans of Sogefi S.p.A. are first approved by the Shareholders' Meeting.

Except as outlined at the following paragraphs "Stock grant plans" and "Stock option plans", the Group has not carried out any other transaction that involves the purchase of goods or services with payments based on shares or any other kind of instrument representing portions of equity. As a result, it is not necessary to disclose the fair value of such goods or services.

The Group has issued plans from 2009 to 2019 of which the main details are provided blow.

Stock grant plans

The stock grant plans provide for the free assignment of conditional rights (called units) that cannot be transferred to third parties or other beneficiaries; each of them entitles to the free assignment of one Sogefi S.p.A. share.

The regulation provides for a minimum holding period during which the shares held for the plan can not be disposed of.

All shares assigned under these plans will be treasury shares held by Sogefi S.p.A.

The "Weighted average number of shares potentially under option during the half- year" represents the average number of shares that are potentially outstanding under stock option plans (only for potentially dilutive options, i.e. with an exercise price lower than the average annual fair value of the ordinary shares of Sogefi S.p.A.), for which the subscription right has vested but has not yet been exercised at the end of reporting period. These shares have a potentially dilutive effect on basic EPS and are therefore taken into consideration in the calculation of diluted EPS.

The "Number of shares that could have been issued at fair value" represents the normalisation factor, being the number of shares that would have been issued dividing the proceeds that would have been received from subscription of the stock options by the average annual fair value of the Sogefi S.p.A. ordinary shares, which in the first half of 2020 amounted to Euro 1.0245, compared to Euro 1.4623 in the first half of 2019.

Please note that 20,000.00 shares that could dilute basic EPS in the future were not included in the calculation of diluted EPS for the first half of 2020 because their exercise price is higher than the average half-year fair value of the ordinary shares of Sogefi S.p.A. in 2020.

E) 40. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

See IAS 24 and the related communications from Consob for the definition of related party transactions.

The Group is controlled by the Parent Company CIR S.p.A. (which in turn is controlled by the ultimate Parent Company F.lli De Benedetti S.p.A.), which as at 30 June 2020 held 55.60% of the share capital (56.62 % of outstanding shares, excluding treasury shares). Sogefi S.p.A.'s shares are listed on the STAR segment of Mercato Telematico Azionario managed by Borsa Italiana S.p.A.

The Group's consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the consolidated companies, listed in chapter H along with the stake held in the same by the Group.

Dealings between Group companies are conducted at arm's length, taking into account the quality and type of services rendered.

The Parent Company Sogefi S.p.A., because of its role of Holding company, provides administrative, financial and management services directly to the three French sub-holding operative companies (Sogefi Filtration S.A., Sogefi Suspensions S.A. and Sogefi Air and Cooling S.A.S.) which, in turn, beside dealing with the services provided by the Parent Company to the companies operating in the relevant business units, provide directly to the latter support services as well as operating and business services. The Parent Company also debits and credits interest at a market spread to those subsidiaries that have joined the Group's cash pooling system. The Parent Company is also charging royalties fees on the Group "SAP" information system to those subsidiaries at which implementation has been completed.

The subsidiary Sogefi Gestion S.A.S. carries out centralised functions and charges Group companies for administrative, financial, legal, industrial and IT services as well as royalties for the use of Group-wide IT applications.

As part of its activity, the Parent Company Sogefi S.p.A. makes use of the services provided by CIR S.p.A., its Parent Company, in areas such as strategic development and of an administrative, financial, fiscal, corporate and investor relator nature. This relationship is regulated by contracts at arm's-length conditions and the cost is commensurate to the effective value of such services to the Sogefi Group in terms of the resources devoted to them and the specific economic advantages obtained as a result. It should be noted that Sogefi's interest in the provision of services by the parent company is considered to be preferable to services provided by third parties because of, among other things, its extensive knowledge acquired over time in its specific business and market environment.

Services provided to Sogefi S.p.A. by the Parent Company CIR S.p.A. as at 30 June 2020 amount to Euro 263 thousand (same amount as in the first half of 2019). At 30 June 2020, amounts payable to the Parent Company CIR S.p.A. by Sogefi S.p.A. totalled Euro 263 thousand.

The Parent Company Sogefi S.p.A. had entered into a rental contract with the holding company CIR S.p.A. on the offices located in Milan, via Ciovassino 1/A where Sogefi has its registered offices and administration.

76

The Italian companies of the Sogefi Group had receivables for the amount of Euro 2,822 thousand owed by CIR S.p.A. in connection with their participation in the group tax filing system, and payables for the amount of Euro 58 thousand. Outstanding receivables as at 31 December 2019 collected in the first half-year 2020 amounted to Euro 2,488 thousand.

At the end of the first half of 2020, the Italian subsidiaries recorded an income of Euro 106 thousand following the transfer of fiscal surplus to companies that have joined the CIR Group tax filing system in order to have an interest deduction; the amount receivable as at 30 June 2020 of the Italian subsidiaries from the Parent Company CIR S.p.A. is equal to Euro 106 thousand.

At 30 June 2020, the Parent Company Sogefi S.p.A. records a liability amounting to Euro 708 thousand (Euro 527 thousand as at 30 June 2019) reflecting the consideration due for the fiscal surplus transferred by companies that have joined the CIR Group tax filing system. The amount payable by Sogefi S.p.A. to Parent Company CIR S.p.A. for such consideration as at 30 June 2020 is Euro 708 thousand.

As regards economic transactions with the Board of Directors, Statutory Auditors, the Chief Executive Officer and the Managers with strategic responsibility, please refer to the attached table for remuneration paid in the first half of 2020.

Apart from those mentioned above and shown in the tables below, at the date of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements, we are not aware of any other related party transactions.

The guarantees given in favour of third parties relate to guarantees given to certain customers by subsidiary Sogefi Suspensions Heavy Duty Italy S.p.A., to the provider of the lease contract by subsidiary Sogefi Filtration do Brasil Ltda, to tax authorities for VAT and other indirect taxes by subsidiary Sogefi Filtration Ltd; guarantees are shown at a value equal to the outstanding commitment at the reporting period. These accounts indicate risks, commitments and guarantees provided by Group companies to third parties.

The "Other personal guarantees in favour of third parties" relate to the commitment of the subsidiary Sogefi HD Suspensions Germany GmbH to the employee pension fund for the two business lines at the time it was acquired in 1996; this commitment is covered by the contractual obligations of the seller, who is a leading German operator.

"Real guarantees given" refer to subsidiary Allevard IAI Suspensions Pvt Ltd, which pledged tangible fixed assets and trade receivables as real guarantees to secure loans obtained from financial institutions.

43. OTHER RISKS

As at 30 June 2020, the Group had third-party goods and materials held at Group companies worth Euro 15,786 thousand (Euro 14,984 thousand as at 31 December 2019).

79

44. CONTINGENT ASSETS AND LIABILITIES Contingent assets

In 2006, the subsidiary Sogefi Filtration do Brasil Ltda filed a lawsuit in order to obtain the right to exclude ICMS (value added tax on sales) from the basis for calculating PIS (social inclusion program) and COFINS (federal tax on social contributions on revenues) taxes for the period from January 2002 to July 2019.

On 25 July 2019, the corresponding court ruled in favour of the subsidiary Sogefi Filtration do Brasil Ltda, which therefore obtained the legal right to recognise these tax credits.

It should also be noted that in October 2017 the Brazilian Supreme Court (STF) ruled in favour of taxpayers on the issue at hand; this decision has generated general case law in the country.

The Brazilian subsidiary is awaiting a ruling from the Court, that is to clarify what amount of receivables may be used over what time period.

As at 30 June 2020, there were not the conditions of the registration of tax credit in the financial statements of the Brazilian subsidiary, with reference to this issue, as it awaits clarifications from the Court.

Potential liabilities

Sogefi Group is managing environmental issues in some production plants. No relevant costs are expected.

In October 2016, the Parent Company Sogefi S.p.A. received four notices of assessment relating to fiscal periods 2011 and 2012, as a result of a tax audit carried out during the first half year 2016, with two irregularities: i) undue detraction of Euro

0.6 million of VAT paid on purchases of goods and services, ii) non-deductibility from IRES tax (and relating non-deductibility for VAT of Euro 0.2 million) of the expense for services performed by parent company CIR S.p.A., for the overall taxable amount of Euro 1.3 million, not including interest and fines. The notices were challenged by the Company before the Province Tax Commission of Mantua, which on 14 July 2017 filed judgement no. 119/02/2017, ruling in favour of the Company on all claims. The Italian Tax Agency filed an appeal against parts of the judgement, requesting that only the notices of VAT assessment be sustained, and finally waiving the notices of IRES assessment (Italian Corporate Income Tax). The Company has filed its rebuttal arguments against this partial appeal. On 19 November 2019, a hearing was held at the Lombardy Regional Tax Commission, which accepted the Agency's argument in its judgement no. 1/26/2020 of 2 January 2020.

Under Italian Law Decrees D.L. no. 18 of 03/17/2020, which suspended the terms for any filing in civil and tax proceedings from 9 March to 15 April 2020 and D.L. no. 23 of 08/04/2020, which extended the suspension of terms from 15 April 2020 until 11 May 2020, the company may challenge the judgement before the Supreme Court of Cassation by 5 October 2020.

Based on the tax advisor's opinion, Directors believe the risk of losing to be possible but not likely.

The subsidiary Sogefi Filtration Italy S.p.A. has a pending dispute with the tax authorities for tax year 2004. The purpose of the proceedings, which were initiated in

80

2009, is to challenge the elusion/abuse of the merger by incorporation through the cancellation of shares of the "old" Sogefi Filtration S.p.A. into Filtrauto Italia S.r.l., which led to the derecognition of the cancellation deficit (generated by the merger), which was partly booked under goodwill and partly to the revaluation of a property, in addition to interest on the loan granted by Sogefi S.p.A. to Filtrauto S.r.l. as part of the transaction.

The Company challenged the notices of assessment and defended the full legitimacy of its actions. In 2012, the Milan Provincial Tax Committee voided the notices of assessment for the part concerning the assessment of elusion/abuse. The Authority challenged the above judgements before the Regional Tax Committee of Milan. On 21 March 2014, the Regional Tax Committee of Milan filed the judgement confirming the annulment of the orders already filed at first instance. On 16 June 2014, the Tax Agency filed an appeal before the Court of Cassation through the Legal Council of State. The Company lodged a defence. On 5 December 2019, the Supreme Court upheld one of the grounds of appeal raised by the Legal Council of State and, as a result, overruled the judgement passed by the court of second instance. The assessment of this aspect was therefore remanded to the Regional Tax Committee, which has to issue an opinion with a petition to resume proceedings that will be filed during the second half of 2020.

Based on the opinion offered by the tax advisor who has been following the litigation, as well as on legal theory, that supports the arguments on circumvention of law and abuse of rights put forward by the company almost without exception, the company believes the risk of losing pending disputes concerning disputed taxes amounting to nearly Euro 3 million, penalties in the same amount as disputed taxes and interest estimated at around Euro 2 million - totalling an estimated Euro 8 million approximately - to be possible but not likely as at 30 June 2020.

Consequently, the Company did not set aside any amount for tax risks to contingent liabilities in financial statements as at 30 June 2020.

45. ATYPICAL OR UNUSUAL TRANSACTIONS

Pursuant to Consob Communication dated 28 July 2006, it is specified that the Group did not implement any atypical and/or unusual transactions during the first half-year 2020.

46. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

No significant events occurred after 30 June 2020 such as could have an impact on the condensed interim consolidated financial statements.

G) 47. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

  • Positive fair value was recognised in "Other financial assets - Asset for derivative financial instruments", whereas negative fair value was recognised in "Other short-term liabilities" for derivative financial instruments.

B) Exchange risk (Cross currency swap) no longer in hedge accounting

During 2013 the parent company Sogefi S.p.A. entered into three Cross currency swap (CCS) contracts maturing in June 2023, initially designated in hedge accounting, in order to hedge interest and exchange rate risks relating to the private placement currently of USD 49.3 million bonds. Under these contracts, a fixed interest receivable of 600 basis points on subscribed notional USD amount is collected by the Company on a quarterly basis against payment of a fixed interest payable on a notional amount in EUR corresponding to the USD notional amount converted at the fixed exchange rate of 1.3055 (totalling Euro 37.752 thousand).

Based on the tests carried out on 31 December 2017, they have become ineffective so that the hedging relationship was discontinued and the derivative contracts were reclassified as fair value through profit or loss instruments. The change in fair value (exclusively for the interest rate risk) compared to 31 December 2017 was recognised in the income statement, whereas the reserve booked to "Other Comprehensive Income" (if any) is reclassified in the income statement over the same period of time as the differentials relating to the underlying hedged item.

The discontinuation of hedge accounting, for the interest rate risk, had the following impact on the financial statements as at 30 June 2020:

  • a financial income of Euro 1,462 thousand reflecting the change in fair value compared to 31 December 2019 was immediately recognised in the income statement;
  • a financial expense of Euro 365 thousand was recognised in the income statement; this amount reflects the portion of the reserve previously booked to "Other Comprehensive Income" that is recognised in the income statement over the same period of time as the differentials relating to the former underlying hedged item. As at 30 June 2020, an amount of Euro 2,125 thousand remains to be recycled to the income statement in the future years.

C) Fair value of derivatives in hedge accounting and no longer in hedge accounting

The fair value of all derivatives was calculated using the forward curves of exchange and interest rates as at 30 June 2020, also taking into account a credit valuation adjustment / debit valuation adjustment. The fair value amounts of derivatives are classified as Level 2 in fair value hierarchy, based on the significance of the inputs used in fair value measurements.
