[Report on operations] Group activities

The Marzotto Group is organized into the following business units:     

Fabrics Woollen Yarns Linen Yarns Silk Other operations

The Fabrics sector includes the manufacturing and distribution of woollen and cotton fabrics for clothing and furnishing, with the following brands: - Marzotto and Lanerossi: leading collection by sales volume worldwide featuring a strong product research, aimed at designers and international markets; - Guabello: one of the exclusive brands of the Italian textile tradition. It offers a luxurious collection in a contemporary style, where wool is paired with selected fabrics such as silk and cashmere; - Marlane: a men’s collection focused on the current market trends, combining trendy products and quality with highly competitive service and price; - Tallia di Delfino: it is an historic brand specialized in the production of woollen fabrics for highend and luxury menswear; Estethia / G.B.Conte: Estethia: a dynamic collection of combed fabrics, crepe, monostretch and bistretch, solid colours and printed fabrics with innovative finishing showing high quality and research; G.B. Conte: a collection specialised in carded and combed patterned fabrics for outerwear, boiled wool and jersey; - Tessuti di Sondrio: a leading brand and collection in terms of image for cotton and linen fabrics in the high-end segment. In 2008, the historic brand Dal Sasso was acquired, identified for its elegant, sophisticated sportswear in wool and cotton/wool, complementary to the Sondrio “lifestyle” project. NTB Nuova Tessilbrenta (brand acquired in 2009) completes the product range with cotton and cotton blend fabrics for (men’s and women’s) sportswear. - Velluto: in 2012, Marzotto extended its range by entering the velvet segment with the acquisition of the brands “Redaelli Velluti”, “Redaelli 1893”, “Niedieck” and “Christoph Andreae”. The Redaelli brand, intended for the clothing and furnishing market, has a formal, elegant flavour; the Niedieck brand, on the other hand, falls into the sportswear segment of sporty/elegant clothing. The Woollen Yarns sector manufactures and distributes combed and carded wool knitwear yarns under the Lanerossi, Folco and Martex brands. Operations are carried out by the Filivivi Group, 50%-owned by the Parent company in joint-venture with the Verzoletto group, which is consolidated according to the proportional method. The Linen Yarns sector is leader in the production of “long-fiber” linen yarns through the Linificio e Canapificio Nazionale Group, which is 100% controlled by the Parent company Marzotto S.p.A. Today, Linificio produces and distributes yarns and fabrics made of linen fibres. The Marzotto group is involved in the silk industry thanks to Ratti, in which the parent company Marzotto S.p.A. acquired in 2010 a 33.36% stake. The Ratti group is a leader in the design and manufacturing of printed fabrics, solid and yarn dyed fabrics for clothing (shirts, ties, intimates, swimwear) and home decor, and in the production and distribution of finished products, mainly men and women accessories (such as ties and scarves). The Other Operations sector includes mainly coordination and strategic direction activities, as well as service activities (administration and finance, legal and investors’ relations, human resources management, information technology) performed centrally in favor of the operating sectors. In this sector we also include the results of the management of the wastewater treatment plant in Schio, the renewable energies activities, and the Group’s non-consolidated shareholdings.

[Report on operations] Introduction

Shareholders, The consolidated financial statements for the Marzotto Group close the year 2013 with a net loss of Euro 33,706 thousand, mainly due to the non-recurring events, as will be explained below, and net revenues of Euro 338,516 thousand. The Marzotto Group’s financial statements have been prepared in compliance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IAS/IFRS) and the related interpretations by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), approved by the European Commission and incorporated in Italian law by Italian Legislative Decree 38/2005. We would refer you to the explanatory notes for comments on the results of the financial statements. Below, please find the information on the Group’s position and future prospects, as well as that required by current legislation. The economic and financial data given in these financial statements are significantly influenced by the separate presentation of the Filivivi Group amongst non-current assets and liabilities held for sale, due to the sale carried out at the end of February 2014, in application of IFRS 5. Please also note that the economic items relating to the Filivivi Group for the year and, for comparative purposes, the previous year, have been stated separately in the line “Net profit/(loss) from discontinued operations”.

Marzotto group Report on operations

[Report on operations] Economic situation/industrial trend (1)

The year 2013 also confirms a negative trend for the Italian textile industry, albeit with some attenuation of degrowth rates: as compared with the -3.2% recorded for 2012, a -2.4% is forecast for this year. An initial analysis of performance shows that the Italian textile industry is gradually seeing some relief in the negative trend, with an improvement in sales both on the domestic market and the export market, closing the year with comprehensive turnover of approximately Euro 7.8 billion. In the textile segments, the most significant contribution was made by wool weaving, which accounts for 36.8% of the segment sales, followed by cotton weaving, with 23.2% and jersey weaving with a 19% share. In moving our attention towards the geographic outlet, export sales, which account for 55.4% of turnover from the textile industry this year, achieved turnover of more than Euro 4.3 billion, showing an attenuation to the negative trends (-1.4% on 2012). Domestic demand also shows signs of recovery, giving rise to turnover of Euro 3.5 billion (-3.7% on 2012), in this case too, showing a slowing to the rate of decline. In analysing the export flows, the main target countries are Germany, accounting for 11.3% of export turnover and Romania with 7.7%, followed by France with 7.3%. Against this trend of exports, imports instead show a 3.2% rise. In examining the markets of origin of imported fabrics, the main suppliers are China (with approximately 25.9% of the total imported), followed by Turkey (with approximately 21.1%) and the Czech Republic (with approximately 6.6%). Despite this dichotomous trend of export flows and import flows, the segment in any case records a positive trade balance for the fifth year running, equal to 2.4 billion. The slow but progressive improvement of the trend characterising weaving is also seen from the value of production, which, in standing at around Euro 6.1 billion, notes a less severe negative growth rate than 2012, estimated at around -1.8%. As confirmation of the data shown here, the trend of domestic demand (estimated from “apparent consumption”) has recorded an increase of around 0.2%, in clear juxtaposition with the negative change of around -10% booked for 2012. Within this general scenario, which reveals how Italian weaving as a whole, although maintaining a negative trend, is experiencing a progressive improvement in market performance, it would appear to be reasonable to expect a change in pace for 2014, able to take the segment back to positive results. The initial economic forecasts on data for the first half of 2014 in the Textile-Fashion segment suggest a reversal of trend (+2.1%), also for companies involved upstream in the supply chain (+0.4%). The domestic demand is also expected to be positive, with growth rates of +1.4%. As concerns short-term expectations monitored by sector studies, most operators are not expecting any major changes in the market situation and are basically looking at stability in the recession context seen in 2013.

[Report on operations] Group trend

Despite the difficult economic context, in 2013, on a consolidated level the Marzotto Group totaled an increase in turnover (+1.3%) deriving from the solid holding forth of revenues in all segments in which the Group operates. Consolidated net revenues amount to Euro 338.5 million. After the first signs of economic uncertainty seen during the first quarter, as from the following months, these have made way for shy signs of recovery that have become progressively more visible during the year. On a geographic level, we note a downturn to sales made on the Italian market (-3.3%), where the Group covers 32.4% of the total turnover, offset by a clear improvement in turnover achieved in other European countries (+2.6%), accounting for 46.9% of Group revenues and North America (+29.7%), accounting for 4.5% of the consolidated turnover. The results achieved in Asia remain basically stable, where the Group obtains approximately 12.2% of revenues and Other Countries, where the Group obtains 4.0% of its total turnover. The holding forth of turnover trends has had a positive impact on the gross margin, which stabilised at around Euro 76.3 million, with an incidence of 22.5% on turnover and an increase on last year of Euro 2.3 million. Non-recurring operations have had a major impact on this year, with a negative effect for Euro 19.3 million on Group results. Consequently, EBIT shows a negative change for Euro 17.7 million, going from 12.2 million in 2012 to -5.5 million in 2013. Below are explanations of the events that have gone towards to determining them. Financial operations have also had a negative impact on the result, recording a negative Euro 20.7 million. The area analysed is particularly influenced by a major write-down of Euro 14.7 million, of a financial receivable due from an affiliate, as explained below. Despite the unusual period events, which had a negative impact on the consolidated economic result (of -33.7 million euros), the action taken by the Group has enabled an improvement to be achieved to net financial debt, in the amount of Euro 11.1 million.

Marzotto group Report on operations

[Significant events during the financial year] Before moving onto discuss the business of your Group in FY 2013, we would first note the highlights the year just ended and this year.

Praia dispute

Beginning in 1999, some former employees and heirs of former employees at the Praia a Mare plant filed a motion with the Attorney General through the Court of Paola, seeking criminal action against the persons in charge of the plant from the 1960s through 2004, allegedly for functional omissions that, because of work safety conditions there, would have been the cause of death and serious health problems to some employees. After the Judge of the same Court rejected three requests by the Examining Judge to close the case, in October 2009 and February 2010, the prosecution issued notices of completion of preliminary investigations, also for environmental crimes. In March 2011 Marzotto was served the summons, pursuant to Art. 83 of the Italian Code of Criminal Procedure, of the responsible officer who, according to the ordinary proceedings, even if he did not commit crime, he is jointly responsible for the payment of damages, if any, as of today not assessed. In October 2013, the Court ordered an appraisal, the results of which, in March 2014, are as yet unknown. The proceedings are in the investigation stages. In November 2013, by agreement with ENI S.p.A., (jointly obliged as previous owner), all financial claims lodged by natural persons involved in the criminal proceedings and all those of former workers or heirs of former workers who took civil action from 2006 to 2008 against the Company, claiming compensation for damages allegedly suffered following occupational sickness, were settled. Following an ordinance of the mayor of Praia a Mare in January 2007, Marzotto S.p.A. was supposed to begin characterization activities of the area outside the factory in Praia a Mare overlooking the sea: these activities have currently been suspended pending cautionary proceedings, despite the fact that the Company, to this end, renewed its request for release from seizure in November 2013. During the year, net charges were booked for Euro 9.3 million, as detailed below.

Dividend stripping

During the year2010, in relation to the dispute pending before Cassation against sentence no. 78/2010 issued by the 4th chambers of the Regional Tax Commission of Venezia-Mestre on 21/09/2010, Marzotto S.p.A. has been notified of an entry in the tax litigation list and the pertaining payment request for a total of 28.2 million euro, subsequently reduced to 16.2 thanks to the steps taken by the competent Bodies based on appeals presented by the involved Corporations, namely Marzotto S.p.A. and, by virtue of the partial proportional spin-off of July 2005, Valentino Fashion Group S.p.A., jointly and respectively 1/3 and 2/3 of said liability towards the tax authority. At the request of Marzotto S.p.A., in October 2011 the request to allow for payment by instalments was granted, with payment thus divided up into 48 monthly instalments. In January 2014, Marzotto S.p.A. and Valentino Fashion Group S.p.A. stipulated a settlement agreement to define, amongst other aspects, their joint liability to make payment of said tax notice and the lawsuit in question. Under this agreement, Marzotto S.p.A. paid the tax payable as a lump sum, thereby benefiting from the 2014 Stability Law, releasing Valentino Fashion Group S.p.A. from its obligations, which, in turn, waived all claims made against Marzotto S.p.A., abandoning all civil proceedings brought before the Court of Milan. During the year analysed, net non-recurring charges were booked for Euro 10 million.

Aree Urbane

In November 2012, Marzotto S.p.A. and the shareholders Prelios and Telecom stipulated an agreement aimed at defining guidelines to conduct to be held in restoring “Aree Urbane S.r.l. in liquidazione” to performing status. The effect of this agreement was subject to a condition precedent, an essential condition to restoring the affiliate to performing status, which envisaged reaching an agreement with the chosen banks to refinance the past-due debt of Aree Urbane. As this condition was not met, the shareholders expressed their intention to offer the banks an “ordered” liquidation of Aree Urbane, as there was no longer any interest in pursuing the business. It was considered prudent to write down the residual amount of the receivable due from the affiliate, of Euro 14.7 million.

Consolidated turnover is up on that recorded for 2012 (+1.3%). The change recorded derives from the fact that turnover basically held out in all segments in which the business is present, albeit with different dynamics in relation to the geographic outlet market. In detail, wool and cotton fabrics close the year with an increase in turnover of 1%, equal to 2,7 million; wool yarns increase by 3.4%, equal to Euro 1.5 million (pro-quota 50%); linen yarns close the year with a + 7.0% and equal to 2,4 million euros; silk weaving totalled net revenues that were basically even (-0.9% equal to -0.3 million euros). Below is a brief presentation of the breakdown of net revenues by sector and geographical area, as compared with the same results of the last year.

In the year in question, non-recurring events has a negative balance for Euro 19.3 million. More specifically, this item includes: 

provisions made for Extraordinary charges on the business plan, for Euro 0.4 million, relate to costs for the reorganisation and increased efficiency of production departments, as well as to charges connected with decommissioned plants and areas;



expenses for the Praia dispute, for Euro 9.3 million, against costs incurred during the year and other legal charges and expenses forecast for the coming years.



Dividend Stripping expenses, for approximately Euro 10 million. These charges include the write-down of the receivable due from Valentino Fashion Group S.p.A., deriving from the Dividend Stripping dispute and in application of the agreement stipulated during the 2005 spinoff of the clothing BU. A transaction made by the parties in January 2014 means that this receivable has been completely written-down.

[Report on operations] Financial charges

The balance of financial operations as at 31 December 2013 is negative for Euro 4.9 million (-1.5% net revenues), worsening by 30.8%. This change is partly determined by the effect of financial exchange differences (in particular on a debt position in foreign currency held by the subsidiary Filin S.A.) and partly by an increase in average debt for 2013 as compared with 2012, faced with a greater spread between rates receivable on deposits and rates payable on loans.

Valuations at equity

Dividends from non-consolidated equity investments and equity measurements include the economic impact of the measurement using the equity method, of equity investments in affiliates. With this method, their book value has been adjusted to incorporate the period results of the subsidiaries.

Other income and financial charges

Other financial income and charges includes the write-down applied to the financial receivable due from Aree Urbane S.r.l. in liquidation for Euro 14.7 million.

Income taxes

Beginning in the tax year 2008, the companies Marzotto S.p.A., Immobili e Partecipazioni S.r.l., Linificio e Canapificio Nazionale S.r.l. and Licana S.p.A. (in liquidation), with renewal for the three years 2011-2013, as well as, beginning in 2009 Biella Manifatture Tessili S.r.l. (formerly Tallia di Delfino S.p.A.), Le Cotonerie S.r.l. (formerly Immobiliare Isola S.r.l.) and Ambiente Energia S.r.l., with renewal for the three years 2012-2014, chose the national tax consolidation regime, for which the parent company of Marzotto S.p.A. is the holding Wizard S.r.l., and its effects are also reflected in the results as of 31 December 2013. Immobili e Partecipazioni S.r.l., following the partial proportional spin-off of Wizard in 2012, left the tax consolidation (with effect as from 01 January 2012). The 2013 balance of the Marzotto Group includes IRAP taxes for 2.5 million euros (1.9 million the year before), and additional income taxes for 1.3 million euros (0.4 million in 2012). In 2011, in application of legislation governing the carrying forward of previous tax losses for IRES, deferred tax assets that the Company and/or the IRES tax consolidation considered as able to be recovered were considered in the total amount of approximately Euro 8.0 million. This situation was updated considering the economic results of the companies adhering to the tax consolidation at end 2013, provisioning further deferred tax assets in the total amount of Euro 1.4 million.

Net result

The above analysis reveals a negative net period result for Euro 33,7 million as compared with a positive result for Euro 2,7 million for FY 2012, making for an overall change of -36.4 million. The change is shown in the table below:

Net invested capital

Before reclassification to discontinued operations of the assets and liabilities relating to the Filivivi Group, invested capital came to Euro 217.7 million, recording a decline of Euro 25.7 million. Net of operating liabilities, following the reclassification pursuant to IFRS 5, as at the reporting date, net invested capital came to Euro 189,8 million, down 53.6 million on end 2012. This change is therefore due for Euro 27.9 million to the above reclassification and Euro 25.7 million to the major changes made to net working capital (of which approximately Euro 10 million for the write-down of the receivable due from Valentino Fashion Group S.p.A.), only partially offset by the reduction recorded in medium/long-term provisions.

(1). The Ratti Group is consolidated pro-quota (33.36%); assets and liabilities of the Filivivi Group (50%) are reclassified to “Assets/liabilities held for sale” in compliance with IFRS 5. (2). The Ratti group is consolidated pro-quota (33.36%); the Filivivi Group is consolidated pro-quota (50%), in continuity with FY 2012.

[Report on operations] Net working capital

Net working capital is 77.8 million euro, compared to 122,1 million euro for 2012, a 44.3 million euro decrease on end 2012. This change is due for Euro 19.3 million to the reclassification of the Filivivi Group (pro quota). In detail, the change includes a reduction in sundry receivables for approximately Euro 10 million connected with the mentioned write-down of the receivable due from Valentino Fashion Group and Euro 22.5 million the reduction in the value of final inventories, of which Euro 16.1 million for the reclassification of the Filivivi Group. The residual change is basically connected with the period use of the stocks accumulated the previous year. Trade receivables are down by Euro 10.4 million on end 2012 (of which Euro -11.7 million represents the portion of Filivivi); the increase seen within the same scope is mainly due to the reduced impact of the without recourse factoring transfer as compared with last year (21.7 million in 2013, 22.8 million in 2012).

Net fixed assets

The balance of Net fixed assets as of 31 December 2013, overall, changed by -18.6 million euro compared to FY 2012 (of which 11.9 million relating to the Filivivi Group).

Fixed assets

Tangible and intangible fixed assets, net of amortisation/depreciation, is down by Euro 10.7 million (0.9 million within the same scope). Gross investments (net of divestments) made during the year come to Euro 18.8 million (18.9 million in 2012), of which Euro 17.9 million for tangible assets and 0.9 million for intangible assets (2012 investments: 17.9 million in tangible assets and 1.0 million in intangible assets). 2013

Investments for the Fabrics sector were mostly for refurbishment and modernization measures of plants and machinery, in particular in the spinning, weaving and finishing departments of the Brno factory in the Czech Republic and Mongrando (Biella), in carrying out the program to enhance the efficiency of processing, as well as update and bring machinery and buildings up to code. For the Filivivi Group, the project continues to extend the Romanian plants, whilst for Linen Yarns, investments particularly involve the Tunisian branch. Investments made in the Silk Segment mainly relate to the strengthening of the ink-jet printing department and the purchase of miscellaneous printing equipment.

As at the reporting date, net financial debt was Euro 90.5 million, showing an improvement of Euro 11.1 million on last year. More specifically, cash flow from current operations generates positive flows for Euro 2.1 million (against use of Euro 16 million recorded in 2012). This performance is due for -5.4 million euros to income management, offset by +7.5 million euros generated by working capital, of which +6.3 million euros for changes to inventories (due to increased sales in the last quarter of 2013 as compared with the same period of 2012) and +2.2 million euros for changes to trade payables. Last year, this latter item had recorded a negative change of Euro 22.8 million against a reduction in trade payables, as the impact of a different seasonal trend in purchases and consequence of the choices to integrate the production process upstream towards provisioning markets. Investments use cash for Euro 18.5 million (more or less in line with the 2012 figure, excluding acquisitions made that same year). Finally, the separate presentation of the assets and liabilities of the Filivivi Group has had a positive impact in the amount of Euro 27.9 million on the Group’s net financial debt.

Net shareholders’ equity

The Group’s shareholders’ equity at year end comes to Euro 99,3 million (-42,5 on 31 December 2012). The capitalization index (2), calculated as ratio between shareholders’ equity and net invested capital, is down from 58.3% in 2012 to 52.3% at the end of 2013.

Net revenues for Fabrics show a 1% increase, going from 262 million in 2012 to Euro 264,7 million as at this reporting date. This positive change is due to the fact that on the one hand, average prices have held firm, and on the other, we have seen an increase in quantities. More specifically, the volumes placed show the following trends with respect to last year: +1.1% for Wool Fabrics, +7.8% for Cotton Fabrics, +10.8% for Furnishing Fabrics.

The reduction in turnover seen on the Italian (-6.41%) and German (-9.36%) markets is offset by the clear improvement recorded elsewhere in Europe (+12.45%). The results achieved in Asia remain basically stable, where the Group has approximately 13.3% of its total turnover.

Analysis by business sector

Result from ordinary operations

The result from ordinary operations is basically in line with the results achieved in 2012 and comes to Euro 14.2 million. The segment divisions show improving trends on FY 2013, from the +5% for Biella Manifatture Tessili S.r.l. (where only Marlane records a drop of approximately 5%, easily offset by the positive trends enjoyed by Guabello and Tallia di Delfino), to the +30% of Tessuti di Sondrio. Performance continues to be negative for the Velvet start-up although improvements are forecast as from FY 2014. The data shows that turnover is holding strong, also thanks to the careful attention paid to product prices and mix, and we continue to experience difficulty in maintaining volumes. This has resulted in plants not being used to full capacity, particularly due to the problems encountered in some markets (Italy first and foremost) and the repositioning choices made by some clients. As concerns fixed, commercial and general product costs, their percentage incidence of net revenues remains basically in line with 2012, thanks to cut-backs implemented and synergies achieved. This action has, on the one hand, enabled an improvement in the competitiveness of the costs of production and, on the other, the meeting the demands of an increasingly complex market with a varied offer of collections, without overlays, and products for different targets, focusing on specific “Made in Italy” assets such as flexibility, market response speed, even for small lots, customer service and excellent quality, know-how and innovation capacity. Important steps also continued to improve the productivity of the weaving and finishing processes, thanks to carefullyfocused multi-year investment plans, organization changes and training interventions to improve efficiency and decrease machine times, as well as improve quality.

Invested capital

Invested capital, of Euro 122,7 million, shows a decline of 6.5 million on the figure recorded for 2012. The change recorded is mainly due to a reduction in working capital of Euro 7.5 million, due to the increased short-term non-financial liabilities. Trade receivables are slightly down on last year, despite the reduction in the “without recourse” factoring quota on last year (18.3 million as compared with last year’s 18.7). In 2013 investments in equipment and machinery continued to maintain high productivity and production quality standards, as well as the adjustment and bringing the plants up to code; in all, for the whole of the Fabrics segment in Italy and abroad, investments totalled approximately 14.0 million euro.

The result from ordinary operations achieved during the year, although still negative, is improving and now comes to -0,7 million euros (-1.1 million in 2012).

Invested capital

Invested capital used in the segment, equal to Euro 27,4 million (pro quota), is in line with the figures recorded in 2012 (2012 invested capital of 27.4 million). Period investments particularly include those made in the development of the Romanian company Rolana Tex S.r.l. Please also note that in 2013, yarn production for weaving was brought completely up to standard at the new Romanian plant of Calea Nationala (Botosani).

Net financial position

The net financial position is negative, going from Euro 26.3 million in 2012 to 28.0 million at end 2013 (pro quota), thereby booking a change of 1.7 million. Net debt to shareholders (1) at market conditions totals Euro 8.0 million (4 million is the share pertaining to Marzotto).

Forecasts

Considering the current market trends and price trends of raw materials, the Group’s 2014 turnover is expected to be basically in line with that of the year just ended. This forecast is supported by the trend of orders acquired during the first two months of 2014 as compared with the same period of 2013.

2013 saw the Linificio e Canapificio Nazionale Group book an increase to turnover both in value terms (37.1 million, +7.0% on FY 2012) and in quantitative terms (+3.8% on linen yarns and +11.1% on linen fabrics). Below is a breakdown of revenues by geographical area, which shows how for the Linen Segment, the increase on last year is a consequence of a recovery of sales relating to the domestic market, against a reduction of European results.

Marzotto group Report on operations

[Report on operations] Linen Yarns Sector Linificio e Canapificio Nazionale group

Analysis by business sector As concerns the Tunisian subsidiary Filin SA, in 2013 restructuring began of the senior management organisation of the plant; this resulted in significant improvements to industrial performance, also assisted by a greater control by the parent company. A Tunisian production manager has been identified to deal with operative site management, reporting directly to the central technical manager of the Linificio Group, in turn appointed General Manager. The union problems, which had led to 6 days of strikes in 2013, followed by a further 6 days during the early months of 2014, were positively solved with the stipulation, thanks to the mediation of the central structures of Linificio, of a three-year agreement involving variable salary increased, measured to seniority and presence, and the freezing of any other claim for the entire duration of the agreement. The Lithuanian plant has instead continued to record significant improvements, both in terms of efficiency and product quality; the Italian plant devoted to the production of very fine thread counts, special yarns and samples of new products, operated fully for the whole of 2013. FY 2013 recorded a trend that can only be described as “swings and roundabouts”; during the first half, the market stagnated considerably, resulting in a major decline to deliveries with respect to the same period of last year; this initial stage was then followed by a basic recovery to sales that, combined with an aggressive commercial policy attacking both traditional markets and emerging ones, such as India and Turkey, enabled us to compensate for the initial gap. In the second half of 2013, action was also taken as envisaged by the three-year business plan; these began having their first positive effects as from the latter months of the year. The result therefore benefited from a complete saturation of plants, the greater productivity of the Tunisian plant and the first effects of increased efficiency in the consumption of raw materials.

Invested capital

Invested capital, net of current liabilities, is Euro 36.5 million, down Euro 3.4 million on 2012. We specifically note the reduction in the value of closing inventories for Euro 4.9 million, as an effect of the year’s consumption of stocks accrued the previous year. Period investments come to Euro 0.8 million and are compared with the 0.8 million of FY 2012.

Net financial position

The Group’s net financial position has reduced, going from cash available of 1.4 million as of 31 December 2012 to debt of 0.2 million at the end of 2013. The financial position is influenced by the negative self-financing of the year, mainly due to the negative income booked.

Profit and financial performance of the Ratti group are consolidated in the Marzotto group on a proportional basis (33.364%) for FY 2013 too.

Net revenues

During the financial year, the Ratti group turnover was 102.8 million euro (34.3 million the portion pertaining to Marzotto), compared to 103.7 million (34.6 pro-quota) for 2012. This change is the balance of a reduction in sales on the domestic market, partially offset by growth on the export markets, as seen from the breakdown of net revenues according to geographical area shown below:

Result from ordinary operations

2013

In 2013, the Group achieved a result of ordinary operation in increase by +6.0 million (+2.0 million increase pro-quota Marzotto) compared to the +7.1 million profit (+2.4 million the quota pertaining to Marzotto) of 2012. The Textile-fashion segment closed 2013 with a slight downturn to revenues, specifically suffering the major decline in consumption in the apparel segment and national domestic consumption. This situation is partially offset by the strong hold of silk and exports to emerging countries, where the gaining strength of the middle classes is focusing on a demand for high quality products. In this context, the Ratti Group has consolidated its strong growth of the previous two years, continuing to invest in technology, innovation and product development, in line with its mediumterm strategic plans. Investments made in tangible fixed assets, of Euro 3.8 million (1.3 the share pertaining to Marzotto) specifically regarded the strengthening of the ink-jet printing department and the purchase of miscellaneous printing equipment (Euro 1.7 million), improvements and extensions to the industrial building of Guanzate and the development of a new washing plant.

Net invested capital

Net operating capital is up on last year, mainly due to the reduction in short-term non-financial liabilities.

Net financial position

The Net Financial Position has declined, going from +1.4 million euros at end 2012 to basically break-even in 2013. The change is mainly the result of investments made that, if added to outlays for the distribution of dividends as resolved in 2012, neutralise the positive cash flow deriving from the core business.

Forecasts

Marzotto group Report on operations

The start-up of FY 2014 suggests that the sector is looking at a partial recovery. Some factors of uncertainty do, however, remain, both within and externally to the sector, with specific reference to political stability, the trend of financial markets and the evolution of consumer expectations in the Mediterranean. Although mitigated with respect to last year, these elements make the continuous monitoring of each reference market essential.

This sector also includes the results of management of the waste water treatment plant in Schio, the renewal energies activities, and non-consolidated shareholdings owned by the Group. The operating loss for 2013 is attributable to the costs incurred by the corporate structure and not charged back to the Group divisions, since they were not directly attributable to them. The 2013 balance as concerns financial expenses includes a further write-down of the financial receivable due from Aree Urbane for a total of Euro 14.7 million, in addition to a write-down of the investments in Linificio S.r.l. for 11.9 million and in Filivivi for a further Euro 7.0 million.

[Investments in subsidiaries and associates] Shareholdings in Subsidiaries

Below we provide a summary of the performance of the main direct Subsidiaries (consolidated in the Group income statement), as well as of the most important Group affiliated companies and other significant shareholdings of the Group. The Filivivi, the Linificio e Canapificio Nazionale and the Ratti groups have been discussed in the comments on the Business Sectors.

Biella Manifatture Tessili S.r.l. (formerly Tallia di Delfino S.p.A.)

In subscribing a reserved share capital increase of Euro 3,500,000, July 2008 saw Marzotto S.p.A. acquire a 70% stake in the share capital of Fratelli Tallia di Delfino S.p.A. and as from 30 July 2008, the Company has been subject to the management and coordination of its parent company. At the extraordinary shareholders’ meeting of 25 November 2009, called for the provisions pursuant to Art. 2447 of the Italian Civil Code, the share capital was zeroed and at the same time restored to Euro 200,000 by means of the issue of 200,000 shares, each worth a nominal value of 1 euro and unitary premium of 14 euros, for a total of 3,000,000 euros. Marzotto S.p.A. has subscribed its 70% share and, by virtue of the failure of Appia S.r.l. to exercise its stock options, as from 15 January 2010 it has become the sole shareholder of Tallia. Thereafter, with the extraordinary shareholders’ meeting of 26 April 2011, a share capital increase was resolved, which was fully subscribed, by means of the conferral by Marzotto of the business unit referred to as “Lanifici Biellesi”, corresponding to the Guabello and Marlane business. The operation took effect on 01 May 2011. At the same time, the Company changed its name to “Biella Manifatture Tessili S.p.A.”. This operation has concentrated the textile activities of the Marzotto Group around the Biella area in one single corporate hub, to take advantage of all possible actions to increase the system as a whole. In operative terms, the operation enabled completion of the synergies initiated in relation to the industrial, logistic, managerial and human resource processes. Thanks to the relevant synergies existing between Guabello, Marlane and Tallia, there’s a structural and functional bond between them which ensures competitive and efficiency advantages for the respective products which, since they are complementary, have enabled us to offer the market a complete range of “Made in Biella” articles. At the same time, the operation has enabled us to seize the opportunities to enhance and better develop the different brands, creating a strong group in its size, strengthened by belonging to the wool district and therefore benefiting for the quality and product recognition typical of the Made in Biella, exploiting the added value deriving from the fact that it is part of the wool-making district par excellence. The positive effects of the operation, seen in FY 2011 despite the very negative outlook and the continued severe world crisis, were also seen in the year just ended. Biella Manifatture Tessili has managed to maintain turnover basically in line with last year, going from Euro 90.8 million in 2012 to Euro 89.5 million in 2013 and a core business result that stands at Euro 6.1 million (Euro 6.3 million in 2012). In FY 2013, the subsidiary changed its business name from Biella Manifatture Tessili S.p.A. to Biella Manifatture Tessili S.r.l.

Marzotto Textile N.V. and subsidiaries

Marzotto group Report on operations

Incorporated on 19 April 2005 following the demerger operation from Marzotto International N.V., by transferring the shareholdings pertaining to the Textile business sector, at the end of 2010 it controls directly the foreign companies Novà Mosilana a.s. and AB Liteksas (important production facilities located in the Czech Republic and Lithuania respectively), Marzotto International Trading Shanghai Co. LTD (Sales representation company established in 2005 to monitor the Far East markets) and Marzotto Textiles Usa Inc. (Incorporated on 02 January 2008 to carry out sale activities in the North American markets for the fabrics and home décor sectors).

[Investments in subsidiaries and associates] Sametex Spol s r.o.

The Czechoslovakian company was acquired by Marzotto as part of the “Velvet project” on 01 August 2012. It produces velvet fabrics for the international market. The Company was subjected to bankruptcy proceedings early 2012 after long-standing economic and financial difficulties connected with the events of the Italian parent company “Redaelli Tessuti S.r.l in liquidazione e concordato preventivo”. In FY 2013, restructuring continued to allow normal business to resume. At the start of the year, the Court of Usti Nad Labem approved the restructuring plan submitted by the parent company, which was thereafter implemented in February 2013. By resolution issued in April by the Czechoslovakian court, the subsidiary Sametex was released from insolvency proceedings.

Marzotto Textile Cz s r.o.

The Czechoslovakian company Marzotto Textile CZ was established on 10 June 2013. The company provides technical consulting services.

Girmes International G.m.b.H

Girmes was acquired by Marzotto under the scope of the “Velvet operation”; it distributes velvet fabrics internationally. As part of the rationalisation undertaken to restore economic management conditions for the activities relating to the new Velvet business, the cut-backs and simplification of the logistic and distribution activities of Girmes was evaluated in order to exploit the synergies that the existing Italian structures can allow in the mentioned areas. As from FY 2013, Girmes provides representation and commercial intermediation for the parent company Marzotto S.p.A.

Finvel S.r.l.

Again under the scope of the Velvet project, late 2012, Marzotto took over 100% of the shares in Finvel S.r.l., a small textile company based in Lecco and specialised in marketing warped velvet for home furnishings and clothing, founded in 2011 with a view to continuing the work of Redaelli Velluti. The aims of the purchase of shares by Marzotto were to take over the order book and know-how developed internally. By notary deed dated December 2013, a merger by acquisition was finalised of Finvel S.r.l. by Marzotto S.p.A., with retroactive accounting and tax effect as at 01 January 2013.

During FY 2010, Marzotto S.p.A. acquired 30% of the share capital of Mediterranean Wool Industries Co. (MWI) S.A.E., a company incorporate in Egypt whose business purpose is the processing of textile fibres (combing, carbonization, other processes) at a newly built factory in Sadat City (Egypt); this is the result of a cooperation agreement with the Schneider group, an important and well known player in the industry. The factory full capacity operation was postponed to the end of 2011 due to the country’s socialpolitical situation, in view of which, Marzotto has decided to undertake a five year insurance policy to protect the Group from any possible negative impact which may arise mainly from expropriation actions, currency restrictions, wars and civil unrest. FY 2013 saw the Company record a loss, connected with the failure to use production plant capacity to the full. In application of the reference accounting standards, the equity investment was measured as equity and its values were therefore adjusted accordingly.

Equity investments

The company was established in October 2002 as part of a project aimed at increasing the value and therefore the sale appeal of some real estate properties held by Marzotto S.p.A. It has been placed in liquidation in August 2010 following the failed share capital increase proposed by its Shareholders. Last year, Marzotto S.p.A. and the shareholders Prelios and Telecom stipulated an agreement aimed at defining guidelines to conduct to be held in restoring “Aree Urbane S.r.l. in liquidazione” to performing status. The effect of this agreement was subject to a condition precedent, an essential condition to restoring the affiliate to performing status, which envisaged reaching an agreement with the chosen banks to refinance the past-due debt of Aree Urbane. The above condition is not met this year, making it effectively difficult to pursue the affiliate’s business. In view of the current situation and for the lack, as at the date on which these financial statements are prepared, of any favourable prospects, the Company has chosen to fully write-down the receivable due from the affiliate, equal to Euro 14.7 million.

Focusing on a high quality product, Pettinatura di Verrone targets a niche market that does not directly suffer the competition of the companies based in emerging countries, at the same time striving to optimise the value of “Made in Italy”. The 2013 draft financial statements of the affiliate show net revenues of Euro 7.8 million, making for an improvement on last year (revenues of Euro 4.3 million in 2012) and a net result of +0.2 million euros (net result basically at break-even in 2012).

Industrial relations Fabrics

On 11 December 2013, the agreement was signed for the transfer of the business unit from the affiliate Filivivi S.r.l. to Marzotto S.p.A. (with effect as at 02 January 2014) of the “Yarns Unit”. This BU includes all plants, machinery, assets and staff of the dye area, reconditioning and some complementary offices based in Piovene Rocchette (VI). More specifically, 23 people were transferred and included in the Marzotto workforce, of whom 14 classified as blue-collar workers and 9 as white-collar workers/middle management. On 31 October 2013, Biella Manifatture Tessili S.r.l. began mobility proceedings to make up to 24 workers redundant (of whom 5 were white-collar workers and 19 blue-collar workers) of the plants of Mongrando and Strona, both in the province of Biella. These proceedings were concluded with the trade union agreement signed on 07 November 2013 and which established that these redundancies would be made by 31 December 2014. On 28 August 2013, an agreement was reached on the reorganisation of work in the weaving department of Valdagno, with the transfer of assignments of Picanol looms from 12 to 15 looms per weaver. This agreement achieved the objective of increasing productivity and was together with some technical and organisational interventions useful to supporting product performance and quality. A similar agreement was reached at Nova Mosilana in Brno (Czech Republic). On 26 November 2012, consultation began for renewing the Company Supplementary Agreement (or 2nd level contract) valid for 2013, 2014 and 2015 for workers of the Valdagno plant (BMP division and central staff). On 18 January 2013, an agreement was reached with the national representatives of the textile segment trade unions present. Thereafter, consultation began for the renewal of the supplementary contracts for the Sondrio plant and the plants of Mongrando and Strona of Biella Manifatture Tessili S.r.l.

Woollen Yarns

In July 2013, Filivivi S.r.l. achieved the objective of the second year of concession of the extraordinary redundancy fund (CIGS) for workers of the plant of Piovene Rocchette (VI), which had ceased operating in July 2012. In order to obtain this concession, the number of workers already assigned to CIGS had to be reduced to an established percentage. This objective was also achieved thanks to specific placement supported by the outplacement programmes. Production staff in force at the Verrone (Biella) office worked reduced hours from 04 February 2013 until 31 December, using a defensive solidarity contract. In November, trade union consultations began with a view to the sale and conferral of the “Yarns Unit” business units of Piovene Rocchette to Marzotto S.p.A. and the Verrone plant to the newlyestablished company “Tintoria di Verrone S.r.l.”.

Linen Yarns

To the benefit of staff and in protection of employment at the production plant of Villa D’Almè (BG), a defensive solidarity agreement was stipulated with reduced working hours. Coordination, guidance and support continued of trade union relations in the subsidiary Filin S.A. based in Tunisia, by the parent company Linificio and Canapificio Nazionale, with a view to locally consolidating conditions and useful practices to help ensure a positive development of relations between the parties.

Ratti Group

In 2013, a project was completed that had been initiated by the Group in previous years. This aimed to integrate all Italian companies into a single legal entity at the Guanzate headquarters, thereby consequently making cut-backs on the commercial, industrial and creative structure. On 23 July 2013, the trade union information procedure was begun for the transfer of the business, involving the merger by acquisition of the subsidiary Collezioni Grandi Firme S.p.A. by Ratti S.p.A., as from 01 October 2013. On 30 August 2013, a trade union agreement was reached to standardise contracts, taking the employees of Collezioni Grandi Firme S.p.A. classified on the Service Providing collective national employment contract to the Textile collective national employment contract used in Ratti S.p.A. The latter period of 2013 saw use of the ordinary redundancy fund in the weaving department. Use of this instrument was agreed through the stipulation of a trade union agreement with RSU to manage the reduced working hours for a group of 34 workers from 21 October 2013 to 18 January 2014. Use of the ordinary redundancy fund was applied to a total of 30 workers for 1,330 hours and authorised by INPS on 26/11/2013.

Marzotto group Report on operations

[Other information] Training and development of human resources

Marzotto considers continuous training a key factor to increase and keep up-to-date its managers’ skills and technical knowledge of its collaborators. In 2013, Marzotto S.p.A. invested 1,206 hours in training (apart from training on safety), using inter-professional funds such as Fondimpresa and Fondirigenti. Marzotto has further developed the “Young Project”, the progression involving the inclusion of young graduates in the Operations and Sales areas. Having started off in 2010 with the “Young Engineers Project”, it continued with the “Young Sales Project” in 2012; today Marzotto numbers 10 engineers hired and another 5 on traineeships within the Group plants, to develop specific, innovative projects in the production areas and 4 young sales staff studying and developing the market. All engineers and sales staff of the Young Project participate in specifically-planned training activities to develop their skills and professional and managerial capacity. Marzotto has continued to invest in the development of individual and community competences and performance: alongside interventions aimed at the individual (masters, specialisation courses), specific training programmes have also been organised involving some strategic communities for the business (sales area, fashion designers and “young talents”). In 2013, the main training initiatives were as follows:  training in accordance with the State-Regions agreement Italian Legislative Decree no. 81/08, involving 125 blue-collar workers, white-collar workers and middle management; 35 persons appointed, 17 blue-collar workers who had not yet attended the course, 17 logistics operators, for a total of 194 workers involved (from the GMF Fabrics Division, Furnishing, Staff, Estethial GB Conte, Piovene warehouse); 238 people were trained in Sondrio, 92 in Mongrando and 74 in Strona on all levels;  course for workers operating forklift trucks for 9 employees of Valdagno;  course for workers in charge of operating mobile elevating working platforms for 10 employees of Valdagno and 2 of Mongrando;  training course for all Group senior management;  in Mongrando, fire-fighting updates were performed for 24 employees and training for first aid operators for a further 15 people. At the subsidiary Novà Mosilana A.S., all employees are trained twice a year in safety, protection of health and fire prevention, in compliance with local legislation. During the year, 75 employees also participated in foreign language (English, Italian) courses and 29 employees attended management and accounting courses. A training cycle was also begun for 73 workers on production, quality and planning, for a total of 2,190 hours. In the Ratti Group, 2013 investments in training totalled approximately 400 hours, using the interprofessional funds Fondimpresa and Fondirigenti. Training courses were run for all employees to improve foreign languages and increase IT skills, as well as to improve negotiations in the SALES area. An in-house technical textile training school was also established for all our Creative workers, involving both time spent in the production departments and specific classroom routes, taught by internal and external staff. Ratti has been collaborating with the most important national and international fashion and design schools for some years now, running study grants and projects. In 2013, 15 students were admitted for traineeships. Finally, we have also continued to focus on some of the company potential with external masters.

Research and development activities referred mostly to research and technology innovation to improve the quality standards of the production processes, new products research and improvement of the flexibility of customer service. The main actions undertaken were: Marzotto – GMF Division The Division continued with intense research aimed at finalising innovative technical solutions for the development of new fabrics with unique blends and matches for use in the clothing market, enabling a significant increase in the technical/technological contents with respect to current production. More specifically, the priority objectives of the activity were the development of coupled fabrics, mixed stretch fabrics and natural wool-based water-repellent technical fabrics. The Division has also implemented a research and development programme on the study and experimentation of innovative technical solutions aimed at increasing the efficiency of the production process through the implementation of new software solutions. Marzotto – Blankets Division Research focused on new fabrics in noble materials (cashmere and pure wool) with a high degree of resistance to rubbing, pilling and washing and the use and working of new materials such as linen, alpaca and new fabrics based on new blends.

[Other information] Research and development

Marzotto – Estethia/GB Conte Division Business is focused on the development of new solutions seeking to create new product ranges. More specifically: -

new cotton-based fabrics that are extremely light with far finer thread counts; new linen-based coupled fabrics characterised by new treatments and finishes; new jersey fabrics characterised by three-dimensional effects and depth; new fabrics created with new types of yarns, including coupled with jersey for the completion of new items dedicated to the mid-season; - new, innovative dye and finishing treatments for the development of unique délavé effects.

Marzotto – Tessuti Sondrio Division Division research and development was carried out in relation to the different fabric treatment stages and the preparatory techniques for the different finishing processes. Biella Manifatture Tessili Research and development focused on the evolution and identification of alternative, innovative solutions for products and fabrics intended for ranges and niches in the reference clothing market. Technical solutions and design and construction methods have also been developed to guarantee the optimisation of industrial activities and the related qualitative and aesthetic value of the finished product. Linificio e Canapificio Nazionale Linificio research and development focused on new manufacturing processes with the aim of producing linen yarns mixed with noble fibres such as cashmere, alpaca and mohair. New manufacturing methods have been identified that can process this mix, guaranteeing the characteristics and performance of the linen yarns. Linificio has also been involved in developing new research methods for the classification of linen even after chemical treatment. This research and development saw Linificio also involved in projects joint-financed by Italian and European funds “BioInNano”, “GreenMade”, “Silk BioTech” and “Bio Nano-Sol”. The aim of these projects is to develop innovative, multifunctional textile materials for applications ranging from traditional clothing to technical-protective clothing, fabrics for home furnishings and yarns used in knitwear. Ambiente Energia Ambiente Energia has devoted its time to researching systems by which to reduce and filter odour, aimed at eliminating it and therefore collecting waste the composition of which means that it is subject to this type of problem. Ambiente Energia has sought out solutions to monitor and keep control of the development of ammonium in the biological plant and significantly reduce the quantity of nickel and other metals from the sludge produced by the plant, thereby making it “non-hazardous” and consequently able to be conferred to less expensive Italian landfills. Ratti Research and technological innovation are focused on improving quality standards by studying new printing and finishing technologies and on researching new fabrics. In this context, the needs for service and flexibility demanded by customers become particularly important, above all as concerns the speed in delivering products and high quality. Study and research into the production of a microbiotic and antibacterial silk yarn (Silk bio tech) continue particularly.

[Other information] Risks management (IFRS 7)

The Group manages the risk factors that may influence the business performance through actions and procedures. Below, we will analyze the risk factors distinguishing between external (contextual) risks and internal (processing) risks.

Credit risk Credit risk is the risk that a customer or one of the parties in a financial instrument may cause a financial loss by not complying with an obligation and it pertains mainly to trade receivables and financial investments of the Group. 

Trade receivables The credit risk is partly essentially reduced considering the type of customers, which are diversified and not significantly concentrated in the new outlet markets. The risk is handled through an insurance coverage policy managed by a specific function in the company, together with the sales organizations. The Group uses also on a regular basis specialized agencies to obtain business information to know in detail the geographical areas served.



Financial investments The Group limits its exposure to credit risk by investing exclusively in high liquidity securities and only with high credit rating parties.

The book value of financial assets represents the maximum exposure of the Group to the credit risk. At the end of the year the exposure was as follows: (thousands of euro)

The information on guarantees given and received is contained in the section Contractual commitments and guarantees (memorandum accounts of the group note). The information on the provisions for bad debt is indicated in point 3.2 of the group note. Liquidity risk The liquidity risk is the risk that the Group cannot meet the obligations arising out of financial liabilities. The Group however believes that the current debt structure, the available financial resources (deposits) and the unused bank loans, they all limit the negative effects of possible difficulties in obtaining credit. The contract due dates of the financial liabilities are indicated in the relevant notes.

Marzotto group Report on operations

[Other information] Market risk Market risk is the risk that the fair value or the future cash flows of a financial instrument might change following variations in the market prices, of exchange rates, tax rates or quotations of the instruments representing the capital. 

Exchange rate risk Considering the Group’s exposure to exchange rates fluctuations in foreign currency operations, we carry out hedging operations to determine the exchange rate based on estimates of sales and purchases volumes and the currency exchange rate considered when the price lists are prepared. Specifically, the Company uses the following hedging instruments: foreign currency loans; forward sales and purchases in foreign currency; foreign currency options at fixed exchange rates. These hedging instruments are agreed upon with highest rated banks. The Group does not enter into term or option exchange rate contracts for speculative purposes. The hedged cash flows are expected within the next 12 months. The impact of the conversion in foreign currencies on the subsidiaries’ own capitals is recorded under a separate item in the shareholders’ equity. With reference to the most significant currencies, the table below shows the Group exposure to the exchange rate risk at the date of the financial statements. 2013

Interest rate risk The Group’s borrowing is mostly concentrated on variable interest rate. Considering the present financial structure of the Group, in case of an increase in the interest rate within the limits of the range that we can expect at the moment (0.5%) it would not significantly affect the group (in theory, in 2012, it would have involved higher net financial charges for approximately 507 k euro). The effects of the recent problems in the banking system could be a potential risk factor in reference to the cost of financing. The Group monitors constantly this potential risk.

Other risks The risk of price increase for raw materials, if significant, is analyzed when the price lists are prepared. At that same time, the net demand generated by the purchase budget are covered by placing the orders with the suppliers, in order to minimize the effect on the income statement should the raw materials costs increase during the year. Considering the type of production and the financial structure, there are no other significant risks.

[Performance news and outlook for the current year] The initial economic forecasts on data for the first half of 2014 in the Textile-Fashion segment suggest a reversal of trend (+2.1%), also for companies involved upstream in the supply chain (+0.4%). The domestic demand is also expected to be positive, with growth rates of +1.4%. As concerns short-term expectations monitored by sector studies, most operators are not expecting any major changes in the market situation and are basically looking at stability in the recession context seen in 2013. The first results of the various sectors for 2014 should be considered in this background: (in millions of euro)

Introduction

[Notes to the consolidated financial statements]

Information on the Marzotto group

Marzotto S.p.A. is a joint stock company established in Italy with Milan Companies House. The Company’s registered office is at 16/18 Via Turati, Milan; its administrative offices are at 1 Largo S. Margherita, Valdagno (VI). Marzotto S.p.A., its subsidiaries and companies under joint control (hereinafter defined as the “Marzotto Group”) are mainly involved in the development, production and distribution of wool and cotton fabrics, wool yarns, linen yarns and silk. The Marzotto group’s consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Parent Company Marzotto S.p.A. and of its subsidiaries and the Group’s shareholding stake in companies under joint control and in affiliated companies.

Publication

Publication of these financial statements was authorised by the resolution of the Board of Directors of Marzotto S.p.A. dated 27 March 2014.

Management and coordination activities

The parent company is subject to the management and coordination of Wizard S.r.l. (Valdagno).

Discontinued Operation

As part of the Group’s strategic choices, on 24 February 2014, Marzotto S.p.A. sold its stake in Filivivi S.r.l., operating in the wool yarns segment, equal to 50% of the share capital, to Fraver S.p.A., which now holds the entire capital. In accordance with IFRS 5, the sale specified is classed as a “Discontinued Operation” with the consequent separate presentation in the consolidated financial statements of the values connected with the discontinued assets and liabilities from operating assets and liabilities.

Compliance with IFRS/IAS

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in compliance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and approved by the European Union, as well as with the orders issued in implementation of Italian Legislative Decree no. 38/2005. IFRS also means all revised international accounting standards (IAS) and all interpretations by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC), previously named the Standing Interpretations Committee (SIC).

Financial statements

The Consolidated Financial Statements consist of the Consolidated Balance Sheet, the Consolidated Statement of period profit/(loss) and other items of the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the Consolidated Cash flow statement, the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Shareholders’ Equity and the relevant explanatory notes. More specifically: 

for the Consolidated Balance Sheet we have indicated separately current and non-current assets and current and non-current liabilities. Current assets are expected to be realized, transferred or consumed during the regular operating cycle of the Group; current liabilities are those that are expected to be paid off during the regular operating cycle of the Group or in the twelve months following the close of the period;



for the Consolidated Statement of profit/(loss) and other items of the Consolidated statement of comprehensive income, costs are allocated according to their intended purpose;



for the Consolidated Cash flow statement we have used the indirect method.

Unless otherwise specified, all figures stated in the financial statements and explanatory notes are in thousands of euros.

Marzotto Group Consolidated financial statements

Introduction

[Notes to the consolidated financial statements] Moreover, the representation of the transfer described above (Discontinued operation) has had the following effect: 

for 2013 and, for comparative purposes for 2012, the items of cost and income relating to the discontinued operations have been classified under “Net result of assets held for disposal”;



current and non-current assets relating to the discontinued operations have been reclassified as at 31 December 2013 to “Non-current assets held for sale” on the Balance Sheet;



liabilities (excluding shareholders’ equity) relating to the discontinued operations have been reclassified as at 31 December 2013 to “Non-current liabilities held for sale” on the Balance Sheet;



cash flows relating to the discontinued operations have been described in the notes to the financial statements.

In short, the consolidated financial statements of the Marzotto Group entail the consolidation of both operating assets destined to remain within the Group after the above sale (“continuing operations”) and those set to leave it (the “discontinued operations”), reported separately.

Going concern

The consolidated financial statements as at 31 December 2013 have been prepared on the basis of the business as a going concern.

Change in accounting standards

The accounting principles adopted are comparable to those used as of 31 December 2012, except for the adoption of the following new or revised IFRS or IFRIC:

Marzotto Group Consolidated financial statements



IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements – Presentation of other items in comprehensive income. This amendment to IAS 1 changes how other items presented in OCI are grouped. The items that are potentially re-classifiable (or “recyclable”) to profit or loss (for example upon cancellation or liquidation) should be presented separately from those that will never be reclassified. This amendment refers only to the presentation and has no effect on the Group financial position or profit.



IAS 12 Income taxes – Recovery of underlying assets. The amendment introduces a rebuttable presumption that the deferred taxes on real estate investments measured based on the fair value according to IAS 40 should be calculated based on the fact that the book value will be recovered through recovered sale. In addition, it introduces the request that the calculation of deferred taxes on assets that cannot be depreciated measured according to the cost method as defined by IAS 16, be always measured based on the sale of the asset. The amendment will be effective for tax years beginning on or after 01 January 2013.



IFRS 7 - Disclosures - Offsetting financial assets and liabilities. These changes require the entity to provide a disclosure on offsetting rights and related agreements (e.g. guarantees). The disclosure will provide the reader of the financial statements with useful information by which to evaluate the effect of the offsetting agreements on the entity’s financial position. The new information is required for all financial instruments concerned by offsetting in accordance with IAS 32 Financial instruments: presentation. The disclosure is also required for financial instruments subject to executive offsetting framework agreements or similar, regardless of whether or not they are offset in accordance with IAS 32. These amendments did not affect the Group’s financial position or profit.

Introduction

[Notes to the consolidated financial statements]

Going concern

The principles that were issued as of the date of the Group financial statements but not yet effective are indicated below. This list contains principles and interpretation that the Group reasonably expects will be applicable in the future. The Group intends to adopt these principles when they become effective.

Marzotto Group Consolidated financial statements



IFRS 10 – Consolidated Financial Statements. IFRS 10 replaces the portion of IAS 27 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements that addresses the accounting for consolidated financial statements. It also addresses the issues raised in SIC-12 Consolidation – Special Purpose Entities. IFRS 10 establishes a single control model that applies to all entities, including ‘special purpose entities’. The changes introduced by IFRS 10 will require management to exercise significant judgement to determine which entities are controlled and, therefore, must be consolidated by the Parent Company. This principle is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 01 January 2014.



IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements. IFRS 11 replaces IAS 31 Interests in Joint Ventures and SIC-13 Jointly-controlled Entities - Nonmonetary Contributions by Venturers. IFRS 11 removes the option to account for jointly controlled entities using proportionate consolidation. For joint operations which respect the joint venture definition must be accounted for using the equity method. The application of this principle will affect the Consolidated Financial Statements for the deconsolidation of the Ratti Group and their accounting based on the equity method, which will impact the exposure of the financial position, the economic result and the cash flows of this Group. This principle is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 01 January 2014. It is estimated that the impact of IFRS 11 on this year (which will be the comparative year in the financial statements as at 31 December 2014), will entail a reduction in revenues of Euro 34,292 thousand and a reduction in the operating result of Euro 1,841 thousand, insofar as the result of the joint ventures will hereinafter be presented separately from the operating result. Current assets and liabilities will respectively reduce by Euro 24,146 thousand and Euro 16,153 thousand, whilst the impact on non-current assets will be Euro 11,535 thousand and non-current liabilities will reduce by Euro 5,856 thousand.



IAS 27 Separate financial statements (revised in 2011). Following the new IFRS 10 and IFRS 12, what remains of IAS 27 is limited to accounting for investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates in separate financial statements. The amendments become effective for annual periods beginning on or after 01 January 2014.



IAS 28 Investments in associates (revised in 2011). Following the new IFRS 11 and IFRS 12, IAS 28 was renamed Investments in associates and joint ventures, and it describes the application of the equity method for joint ventures, in addition to associates. The amendments become effective for annual periods beginning on or after 01 January 2014.



IAS 32 - Offsetting financial assets and liabilities. The changes clarify the meaning of “currently has a legally enforceable right of set-off”. The changes also clarify the application of the offsetting criterion of IAS 32 in the event of regulation systems (such as, for example, centralised offsetting rooms), which apply gross, non-simultaneous settlement mechanisms. These changes should not affect the Group’s financial position or results and shall come into force for years starting on 01 January 2014 or thereafter.



IFRS 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities. IFRS 12 includes all of the disclosures that were previously in IAS 27 related to consolidated financial statements, as well as all of the disclosures that were previously included in IAS 31 and IAS 28. These disclosures relate to an entity’s interests in subsidiaries, joint arrangements, associates and structured entities. A number of new disclosures are also required. This principle is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 01 January 2014.

Basis of consolidation

[Notes to the consolidated financial statements] The following companies are part of the scope of consolidation:  subsidiary companies in which the Group directly or indirectly holds the majority of the share capital or of the shares with voting rights, or which are managed by the Group, are consolidated with the “line-by-line method”. Subsidiaries are consolidated line by line starting from the date in which the control begins and until the moment when the control is transferred outside the Group;  Companies controlled by the Group directly or indirectly jointly with other parties (jointventures) are consolidated according the so-called “proportional method”, showing line-by-line assets, liabilities, revenues and costs proportionally to the equity stake held. The balance sheet and income statement data of the joint-venture are included in the consolidated statement starting from the date in which the joint control begins and until the date that such controls ends;  affiliated companies, in which the Group directly or indirectly exercises significant influence, that are consolidated with the “equity method” by which profits and losses attributable to the Group are recognized each year on an accrual basis. The portion attributable to the Group of the profit of the affiliated companies is recorded in a specific line item in the income statement, starting from the date in which a significant influence is exercised and until the influence stops. Operating Companies consolidated on a line-by-line basis:

Basis of consolidation Consolidation principles

Business combinations

[Notes to the consolidated financial statements] The following consolidation principles were adopted: a)

For the financial statements of subsidiaries and affiliated companies, the same accounting principles as the Parent Company have been used; adjustments have been adopted to make comparable lines influenced by different accounting principles.

b)

Assets and liabilities, revenues and costs of the consolidated Companies are recognized according to the line-by-line method, eliminating the book value of shareholdings held by the Parent Company against the relevant shareholders’ equity, attributing their current value at the date in which control was acquired to the single items of assets and liabilities and of potential liabilities. Any remaining difference in the positive is recorded under the item “Goodwill” in non-current assets.

c)

Receivables and payables, revenues and costs among consolidated companies are eliminated.

d)

Earnings of significant size included in goods in stock from transactions between Group companies are eliminated.

e)

Dividends paid out by companies consolidated according to the line-by-line method are eliminated in the Income statement, which recognizes the results realized in the year.

f)

The portion of shareholders’ equity attributable to minority interests is shown in a separate item in the Balance sheet; the Income statement shows the result for the financial year attributable to minority interests.

g)

The translation into euro, the Parent company’s currency, of financial statements in other currencies is carried out by applying to assets and liabilities the prevailing exchange rate at the accounting period end-date and to the income statement items the average exchange rates for the period. The relevant exchange rate differences are recognized as a change in shareholders’ equity.

When IFRS where first adopted, based on the provisions of IFRS 1, the Group decided not to apply IFRS 3 retroactively to business combinations created before 01 January 2004. The cost of a business combination includes the liabilities borne or taken over by the purchaser in exchange for the control of the acquired company. The cost of a business combination is allocated by recognizing, at the date of the acquisition, the fair value of assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities identifiable at the purchase. The positive difference between the purchase cost and the portion of the fair value of assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities identifiable at the purchase is shown as goodwill in the assets. Should the difference be negative, it is recognized directly in the income statement. If the initial accounting for a business combination can be determined only provisionally, the adjustments to the provisional values are recognized within twelve months from the purchase date.

58

Marzotto Group Consolidated financial statements

Basis of consolidation Conversion of accounts carried in foreign currencies

[Notes to the consolidated financial statements] The presentation currency adopted by the Group is the euro, which is also the functional currency of the parent company Marzotto S.p.A. As at the closing date, the accounts of foreign companies carried in functional currencies that differ from the euro, are converted into the presentation currency as follows:  

assets and liabilities are converted using the exchange rates in force as at the year end date; items of the income statement are converted using average period exchange rates.

Any exchange differences emerging from this conversion process are accrued into a separate item of equity (Conversion reserve) until disposal of the foreign company. The exchange rates applied for the conversion of the financial statements of the companies included in the consolidation are given in the table below: Currency (units per 1 euro)

Valuation criteria

[Notes to the consolidated financial statements]

Valuation criteria

The most significant valuation criteria adopted when preparing the financial statements are described as follows:

1.1 Real estate, plants and machinery 1.2 Civil real estate

Real estate, plants and machinery are carried at historical cost, including directly attributable accessory costs. Land, both vacant and annexed to residential or industrial buildings, has not been amortized since its useful life is indefinite. Some assets that had been revaluated in previous periods, are shown at the revaluated amount, considered their deemed cost on the transition date to IAS. Assets acquired through business combination operations are recognized at fair value defined provisionally at the acquisition date and adjusted, if necessary, within the following twelve months. Maintenance and repair expenses that do not increase the value or prolong the remaining useful life of assets are recognized as expenses in the period in which they are incurred. Tangible assets are shown net of accumulated depreciation and any reductions in value, determined in accordance with the methods described below. Depreciation is straight-line, based on the estimated useful life of the asset. The estimated useful life of the main real estate, plant and machinery is as follows: Land undefined Civil buildings 33 years/undefined Industrial buildings 10/33 years Plant and machinery: - Textile 8 years - Corrosive environment textile 5/6 years - Other 7/25 years Industrial and commercial equipment 4/7 years Other assets: - Electronic office machines 5 years - Office furniture and fixtures 7/8 years - Vehicles 4 years

60

1.3 Goodwill, trademarks and other intangible assets

Intangible assets with a “finite useful life” are recognised at cost, determined according to the methods prescribed for tangible assets, and shown net of accumulated amortization and any permanent reductions in value, determined according to the methods described below. Intangible assets with “indefinite useful life” (e.g. trademarks) are not amortized. Intangible assets acquired through business combination operations are recognized at fair value defined provisionally at the acquisition date and adjusted, if necessary, within the following twelve months.

Value reductions

In application of the reference accounting standards (IAS 36), the Group verifies, at each financial statements’ date, if there is any indication of lasting reduction in value for all assets. If these indications exist, an estimate is prepared of the value that can be recovered on the asset, i.e. the greater of the fair value of an asset or cash generating unit, less the costs of sale, and its use value. In determining its use value, estimated future cash flow is discounted to current value, using a gross tax rate that reflects current market appraisals of the value of the money and specific risks of the asset. A reduction in value is recognized in the Income statement when the book value of the asset, or of the related cash generating unit, to which it is allocated, is greater than the estimated realizable value. Reductions in value are written back if the reasons for the devaluation are no longer present.

Marzotto Group Consolidated financial statements

Valuation criteria

[Notes to the consolidated financial statements]

1.5 Other investments

Shareholdings in companies other than subsidiaries and affiliates are valued at fair value, charging any profits or losses directly to shareholders’ equity. At the time of their sale, such accumulated profits and losses are recognised in the Income statement. When their fair value cannot be reliably determined, shareholdings in other companies are valued at cost adjusted for reductions in value in any, and their effect is recognized in the Income statement. At the date of each annual report, the Group verifies if there is any indication of permanent value reduction for equity investments and makes the appropriate adjustments, as described above.

1.8 Long term financial assets

Financial assets are initially carried at their nominal value, representative of the fair value, and later recognized at the lower between the book value and the estimated sale value.

2. Non-current assets held for sale

Assets or groups of assets and liabilities whose value will be recovered mainly through sale rather than ongoing use are recognised separately from other assets and liabilities in the Balance sheet. Non-current assets or groups of assets and liabilities held for sale are recognized at the lower between the book value and the fair value net of the costs of sale.

3.1 Inventories

Inventory of raw materials, semi-finished goods and finished goods is carried at the lower between the cost of purchase or production and the estimated net realizable value, using the average weighted cost criteria to determine the cost. The stock valuation includes direct material and labour costs and indirect costs (variable and fixed), due to production.

3.2 Trade receivables 3.3 Other receivables

Trade receivables due within standard business terms and other operating receivables (other receivables) are not discounted and are carried at nominal value net of any write-downs. The adjustment to the estimated realizable value is recognised in special adjustment reserves.

3.4 Current financial assets, cash and cash equivalents

Financial assets held for trading are recognized at the fair value shown in the Income Statement. Cash and cash equivalents are made up of cash in hand, i.e. cash that is readily available or on a very short term, successfully, and without collection expenses. A financial asset (or, if applicable, a portion of a financial asset or portion of a group of similar financial assets) is cancelled from the balance sheet when:  

Marzotto Group Consolidated financial statements

the rights to receive financial flows from the asset expired; the Group has transferred the right to receive financial flows from the asset or has taken over the contractual obligation to pay them fully and without delay to a third party and (a) it has basically transferred all risks and benefits of the ownership of the financial asset or (b) it has not transferred nor retained basically all risks and benefits of the asset, but it has transferred the control of the same.

61

Valuation criteria

[Notes to the consolidated financial statements]

5.1 Long-term provisions

Provisions to long-term reserves are recognized when there is a legal or implicit obligation towards a third party and it is likely that there will be an outlay of resources the amount of which can be reliably estimated. If the effect is significant, the provisions are determined by discounting the expected future financial flows at a pre-tax discount rate that reflects the current market value of the cost of money in relation to time. When the amount is discounted, the increase in the provision due to the passing of time is recognised as a financial charge. Defined contribution plans Defined contribution plans are post-employment benefits plans on which basis the entity pays fixed contributions to a separate entity and shall have no legal or implicit obligation to pay additional contributions. The contributions to be paid into defined contribution plans are recorded as a cost in the result of the period in which they are incurred. Contributions paid in advance are recorded amongst assets to the extent to which the advance payment will determine a reduction in future payments or a refund. Defined benefits plans The amount payable for staff termination indemnity comes under the scope of defined benefits pension plans, which are plans based on the working life of employees and on the remuneration received by the employee during a pre-determined period of service. More specifically, the liability relating to the staff termination indemnity of staff is booked at its actuarial value, insofar as it can be classified as employee benefits due according to a defined provision plan. The booking of defined provision plans requires an estimate using actuarial techniques of the amount of the provisions accrued by employees in exchange for his work during the current and previous years, and the discounting of these provisions in order to determine the current value of the company’s commitments (IAS 19). According to Law no. 296/06, effective from 30 June 2007, the Staff termination indemnities accrued after 01 January 2007 must be paid in an appropriate treasury fund opened with INPS (National Institute for Social Protection) or, according to the instructions of the employee, to the selected fund. With these payments, the item relating to staff termination indemnities is no longer affected by accruals, contrary to staff termination indemnities accrued by 31 December 2006, which therefore come under the scope of defined benefits pension plans. In June 2012, IAS 19 was amended to provide for the recording of changes to actuarial gains/losses of defined benefits plans and, therefore, including employee termination indemnities, amongst items of the Statement of Comprehensive Income, as from 01 January 2013. The Group has decided to apply this amendment early, as from the financial statements as at 31 December 2012.

Marzotto Group Consolidated financial statements

Valuation criteria

[Notes to the consolidated financial statements]

5.4 Long-term financial payables

Financial liabilities, except for derivatives, are initially carried at fair value net of directly attributable transaction costs. They are later measured using the actual interest rate method.

6. Non-current liabilities held for sale

The groups of assets and liabilities whose value will be recovered mostly through sale rather than through the continuous use are shown separately from other assets and liabilities in the Balance Sheet. The groups of non-current assets and liabilities classified as held for sale are shown at the lower between the book value and the fair value net of sale’s costs.

7.1 Trade payables and other payables

Trade payables due within standard business terms, and other operating payables, are not discounted and are carried at nominal value.

7.2 Current financial payables

Financial liabilities, except for derivatives, are carried at fair value net of directly attributable transaction costs.

Derivative financial instruments

Derivatives are carried at fair value.They are designated as hedging instruments when the relationship between the derivative and the underlying instrument is formally documented and the effectiveness of the hedge, which is verified periodically, is adequate. When the derivatives cover the risk of change in fair value of the underlying instruments (fair value hedge), they are carried at fair value, and the difference is recognised in the Income statement; consistently, the underlying instruments are adjusted to reflect the change in fair value associated with the hedged risk, and the difference is also recognised in the Income statement. When derivatives cover the risk of changes in cash flows from the underlying instruments (cash flow hedge), the changes in fair value are initially recognised in the shareholders’ equity and later in the Income statement, consistently with the effects produced by the hedging transaction. Changes in the fair value of derivatives that do not satisfy the conditions for being qualified as hedges are recognised in the Income statement.

Translation of items in foreign currency

The financial statements of each consolidated company are prepared using the currency of the economy in which the company operates. In such cases, all transactions in currencies other than the unit of account are recorded at the exchange rate prevailing on the transaction date. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the unit of account are later adjusted by the exchange rate prevailing at the end-date of the accounting period.

Contributions

Contributions from both government agencies and private third parties are carried at fair value when there is the reasonable certainty that they will be received and the prescribed conditions for obtaining them are satisfied. Contributions received for specific expenses are recognised among other liabilities and credited to the Income statement on a straight-line basis throughout the same period in which the related costs accrue. Contributions received for specific assets the value of which is stated among tangible and intangible assets, are shown among liabilities and credited in the Income statement in relation to the depreciation period for the assets to which they refer. Contributions during the accounting period are fully recognised in the Income statement at the time the conditions for recognizing them are satisfied.

Fair value

The fair values used to prepare the financial statements, referred to the valuation of term purchases and sale of foreign currency and to foreign exchange options, were established based on the rates from the banking system.

Valuation criteria

[Notes to the consolidated financial statements]

8. Revenues

Depending on the type of transaction, revenues are recognised based on specific criteria indicated below:  revenues from the sale of goods are recognised when the significant risks and benefits of ownership are transferred to the purchaser (typically at the time of shipment);  revenues for services provided are recognised based on the status of completion basis of the assets.

15. Financial charges, net

Financial revenues and charges are recognised on the basis of accrued interest on the net value of the relevant financial assets and liabilities using the actual interest rate.

16. Dividends

Dividends are recognised when the right to receive payment is established. Dividends payable to third parties are shown as changes in net equity on the date they are approved by the Shareholders’ Meeting of the Parent Company.

20. Taxes

Current income taxes for the financial year are determined based on estimates of taxable income and according to law. Deferred and advance income taxes are calculated on the temporary differences between the recorded asset values and the respective recognized values for tax purposes, applying the tax rate in effect at the date the temporary difference will be reversed, calculated on the basis of the tax rates provided by the law or substantially in force at the accounting reference date. The asset entry for advance tax payments is made when recovery is likely, that is when it is estimated that in the future there will be taxable amounts sufficient to recover the asset. The ability to recover assets for advance tax payments is reassessed at the end of each accounting period. In addition deferred tax receivables and payables are set aside following the adjustments made, upon consolidation, to the financial statements of the companies of the Group.

29. Base profit per share

The profit per share is calculated dividing the profit attributable to the holders of ordinary shares of the Parent Company by the weighted average of the outstanding ordinary shares during the period.

Use of estimates

In application of IFRS, preparing the consolidated financial statements requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the values of balance sheet assets and liabilities and the relevant information, as well as potential assets and liabilities at the reference date. Estimates and their underlying assumptions are based on past experience and on other factors that are deemed reasonable in each case. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically and the effects of each change are reflected in the Income statement. A significant discretionary valuation is required from the Administrators to establish the amount of deferred tax assets that may be posted. They have to estimate the likely time of occurrence and the amount of future profit subject to tax as well as a planning strategy for future taxes. Estimates are also used to record provisions for bad debt, for inventory obsolescence, amortization and depreciation, employee benefits, provisions for risks and charges. At the date of each annual report, the Group verifies if there’s any indication of permanent value reduction for all non-financial assets. Goodwill and other intangible assets with an indefinite useful life are subject to review each year to identify any decrease in value. The recoverable value of non-current assets is typically established in reference to the use value, based on the present value of financial flows expected from the continuous use of the asset. This verification involves also the choice of an adequate discount rate to calculate the present value of the expenses financial flows.

Tax

[Notes to the consolidated financial statements] Effective from the year 2008 Marzotto S.p.A., Immobili e Partecipazioni S.r.l., Linificio e Canapificio Nazionale S.p.A. and Licana S.p.A. in liquidation, have all agreed to the Domestic Tax Consolidation, the Parent Company for it is Wizard S.r.l. In 2011, these companies renewed their acceptance also for the three years 2011-2013. Since 2009 also the subsidiaries Biella Manifatture Tessili S.r.l., Ambiente Energia S.r.l. and Le Cotonerie S.r.l. (former Immobiliare Isola S.r.l.) are part of the Domestic Tax Consolidation, with renewal for the three years 2012-2014. Following the spin-off of Wizard S.r.l. in the favour of Witch S.r.l. in FY 2012, Immobili e Partecipazioni S.r.l., a subsidiary of Witch S.r.l., left the tax consolidation of Wizard S.r.l., as they no longer met the requirements lad down by legislation governing participation in the tax consolidation. Adhesion to the tax consolidation of Wizard S.r.l. is governed by a specific regulation in force for the entire period for which the option is valid. Economic relations for the tax consolidation are regulated as follows:  subsidiaries which have positive taxable income for the years concerned pay Wizard S.r.l. the greater tax due by it;  companies consolidated with negative taxable income receive compensation amounting to 100% of the tax saving achieved on a group level from Wizard S.r.l. This compensation is due when effectively used by Wizard S.r.l.  if Wizard S.r.l. and the subsidiaries should not renew the domestic tax consolidation option, or if the requirements to continue to apply it should be forfeited prior to the end of the three years for which the option is valid, the tax losses that can be reported as resulting from the declaration are allocated proportionally to the companies that produced them. Early termination of the tax consolidation agreement or failure to renew it shall not have any penalty for the participating companies. In 2013 Marzotto S.p.A. and its affiliate Filivivi S.r.l. renewed the tax transparency regime for the three year period 2013 – 2014 - 2015.

“Acquisitions” refers for 714 thousand to continuing operations and 163 thousand to discontinued operations. Concessions, licences, trademarks and similar rights includes the values of the Guabello trademarks for Euro 2,300 thousand, Tallia di Delfino for Euro 1,170 thousand, the value of the velvet trademarks “Redaelli Velluti”, “Redaelli 1893”, “Niedieck”, “Christoph Andreae” and of the Marzotto Group trademark. The value of the Folco and Lanerossi trademarks (Euro 3,611 thousand) has been reclassified to discontinued operations. The trademarks, which are considered intangible assets with an undefined useful life, are not amortised but rather are regularly impairment tested in compliance with IAS 36. The impairment test on the trademarks value is performed establishing their use value according to the method of comparable royalty rates. The cash flows are discounted at a discount rate equal to the current interest rate without market risk, in relation to a time frame consistent with the duration of flows (10 years), plus the risk coefficient specific to the activity. The impairment tests performed at the end of 2013 have not shown any significant indication of lasting reduction in value for trademarks.

Balance Sheet

[Notes to the consolidated financial statements] Goodwill, acquired through the combination of businesses, refers for Euro 1,283 thousand to the purchase of Ratti S.p.A. and for Euro 167 thousand to the purchase of the “Logistics Services” BU of Piovene. In compliance with international accounting standards, this item is not subject to amortisation, but rather to annual impairment testing. This analysis is carried out by comparing the book value of goodwill with the greater of the value in use and fair value. An impairment test was made to check if there was any lasting reduction in value in reference to the amount of Euro 1,283 thousand, recorded under “Goodwill” concerning the operation of acquisition of a 33.36% interest in the share capital of Ratti S.p.A. (company under joint control), recognised according to the purchase method, without any specific instruction by the international accounting principles. More specifically, the carrying amount of Ratti has been compared with the fair value, determined on the basis of the stock market list price of the Ratti security as at 31 December 2013. This comparison has not revealed any permanent loss of value. During the first months of 2014 there were not significant events to lead us to believe that the financial statements value suffered a further permanent reduction in value. However, the estimate of the recoverable value of the CGU is discretionary and subject to the use of estimates by the management. In fact there are several factors connected to the difficult market situation which may require a new calculation of the value of goodwill. The Company will monitor closely the circumstances and events which may cause a new assessment of losses of value. Below are the changes made to the following items, before reclassification to discontinued operations:  Industrial patent rights and rights to use intellectual works for Euro 883 thousand, mainly relating to software and EDP applications;  Other intangible fixed assets for Euro 208 thousand, mainly incurred by the parent company;  Fixed assets under construction and down-payments at year end had been capitalised (and not depreciated) for Euro 93 thousand, mainly in connection with software project development costs incurred by the parent company. Research and development expenses paid during the year, pertaining to product innovation and applications for the rationalization of production and logistics, have been charged to the income statement.

The item refers to deferred tax assets (prepaid taxes) due beyond the year. They refer for 14,738 thousand euro to the Parent Company (2012: 11,468 thousand euro), for the relevant comments please refer to the notes on the Financial Statements of the Parent Company. The remaining deferred tax assets refer mainly to the temporary difference recognized by Biella Manifatture Tessili S.r.l. (3,821 thousand euro), by the Linificio e Canapificio Nazionale S.p.A. group (3,512 thousand euro) and by the Ratti group (2,530 thousand euro). Taking into consideration the new Italian regulations on the unlimited carry forwards of tax losses, the forecast of the business performance and the participation in the domestic tax consolidation of the parent company Wizard S.r.l. of the Italian companies of the group, the Administrators have decided to record the advance taxation in connection with the losses that may be carried forward by the Companies. Deferred tax receivables on non-deductible financial charges and on tax losses are a total of Euro 1,957 thousand.

As mentioned previously, non-current assets or groups of assets and liabilities whose book value will be recovered mainly through sale rather than ongoing use (discontinued operations) are recognised separately from other assets and liabilities in the Balance sheet. The above assets are valued at the lower between their book value and the fair value less foreseeable sale costs. Any losses are noted directly on the income statement. The figures given in the table above are Euro 41,418 thousand for assets belonging to the Filivivi Group. This reclassification had become necessary due to the sale made in February 2014, as described previously. The item also includes the shareholding in the associated company Aree Urbane S.r.l., still recorded at the value of 1 euro, which is the lowest between the book value, calculated with the equity method at the date of the transaction, taking into account the cancellation of profits within the Group, and the relevant fair value at the date of the financial statements.

Warehouse inventory is indicated at the lower between the purchase or production cost, determined using the weighted average cost method, and the estimated net sale value, as indicated in point 3.1 of the valuation criteria. In this regard, please note that the Group companies implement a disposal procedure for obsolete products, mainly seasonal fashion items that have been left unsold, using stock sales; goods that are still held as inventories at year end are suitable written-down, bringing their value into line with their presumed realisation value. Inventories shows a net decrease of Euro 22,489 thousand on last year. This change relates for Euro 16,133 thousand to the reclassification of warehouse inventories of the Filivivi Group to discontinued operations and for Euro 6,356 thousand to the significant slowing to sales archived during the fourth quarter 2012, which resulted in accumulated inventories. As from the second quarter of 2013, the market showed clear signs of recovery, which allowed inventories to be used. The increased order book seen at end FY 2013 as compared with the same period of 2012 and the related provisioning needs have only partially compensated for the change booked. This item is broken down according to business segment as follows at the reporting date:  Fabric inventories: Euro 88,930 thousand (88,821 thousand at 31 December 2012);  Linen Yarns inventories: Euro 14,693 thousand (19,600 thousand at 31 December 2012);  Silk inventories: Euro 7,344 thousand (7,554 thousand at 31 December 2012).

Trade receivables, before being reclassified to discontinued operations, came to Euro 82,438 thousand, showing a rise of Euro 1,331 thousand, in line with the increased turnover booked during the year. Trade receivables, after the reclassification envisaged by IFRS 5 (for 11,703 thousand), total Euro 70,735 thousand, net of the provision for doubtful debt of Euro 7,413 thousand (provision of Euro 9,009 thousand at 31 December 2012). This provision has been calculated considering the historic data relating to losses on receivables and on the basis of estimated losses in connection with challenged receivables and/or past-due receivables. To complete our information, please note that as at the reporting date, the effect deriving from the transfer of receivables with without recourse clauses (including the effect of receivables to be repaid included in payables) is Euro 30,980 thousand, slightly up on the transfer performed in 2012 (Euro 28,333 thousand). We believe that the book value of the trade receivables reflects their fair value. Trade receivables by geographical area are shown in the table below:

Other receivables included, as at 31 December 2012, Euro 6,210 thousand for the short-term portion of the receivable due from Valentino Fashion Group S.p.A. arising from the dividend stripping dispute and in application of the agreement stipulated during the 2005 spin-off of the clothing BU. In January 2014, Marzotto S.p.A. and Valentino Fashion Group S.p.A. stipulated a settlement agreement to define, amongst other aspects, their joint liability to make payment of said tax notice and the lawsuit in question. Under this agreement, Marzotto S.p.A. paid the tax payable as a lump sum, thereby benefiting from the 2014 Stability Law, releasing Valentino Fashion Group S.p.A. from its obligations, which, in turn, waived all claims made against Marzotto S.p.A., abandoning all civil proceedings brought before the Court of Milan. In line with this transaction, the Company has written-off the receivable that was previously recorded.

The Legal Reserve was not changed during the year. The Conversion reserve has declined by Euro 6,859 thousand and now totals Euro 3,391 thousand. In order to face exchange rate risks involved in purchases and sales in other currencies, the company carries out operations to establish in advance the exchange rates on estimated volumes (cash flow hedging). In particular, the Company uses the following instruments:  foreign currency loans;  forward sales and purchases in foreign currency;  foreign currency options at fixed exchange rates. These operations come under the scope of “cash flow hedges” insofar as they are stipulated to cover a risk of change in cash flows deriving both from an existing asset or liability and a future operation. As established by international accounting standards, the portion of the gain or loss relating to the measurement of such derivatives (mark to market) has been booked net of the tax effect, amongst the items of the statement of comprehensive income, as the effectiveness of the cover guaranteed by these financial instruments has been proven. The fair value reserve includes the fair value of said operations, net of the tax effect, which as at the reporting date comes to Euro -1,819 thousand. The gain or loss recorded under shareholders’ equity is booked to the income statement when the operation hedged affects it.

Staff termination indemnity reflects the indemnity calculated in accordance with current legislation, accrued by employees as at 31 December 2006 and which will be liquidated upon his leaving. Where specific conditions apply, it may be partially advanced to the employee during the course of his working life. The Staff termination indemnities, calculated according to the current law, is treated from an accounting point of view as a defined benefit and as such it is recalculated at the end of each period according to a statistic-actuarial criteria which takes into account also the effects of the financial actualization. This liability has been calculated according to the actuarial criteria of the “Unitary Credit Method” which “considers each working period as the source of one additional unit of right to the benefits and measures each unit separately to calculate the final obligation”. The following parameters are used: annual discounting rate 4.5%, annual inflation rate 2%. The booking of employee benefits is in accordance with IAS 19 for defined benefits plans; the company has decided to apply the amendments made by IAS 19 early, as from the financial statements as at 31 December 2012, with the consequent noting of changes in actuarial gains/losses amongst other items of the statement of comprehensive income, whilst financial gains/losses are noted on the income statement. According to Law no. 296/06, effective from 30 June 2007, the Staff termination indemnities accrued after 01 January 2007 must be paid in an appropriate treasury fund opened with INPS (National Institute for Social Protection) or, according to the instructions of the employee, to the selected fund. With these payments, the item for Staff Termination is no longer affected by provisions.

Tax provisions Other provisions for risk/charges

The agents’ indemnity reserve has been allocated to cover potential liabilities from the termination of agency contracts. The reserve was adjusted to take into account foreseeable potential liabilities in connection with contracts existing at the end of the financial year. The litigation risk reserve is allocated to cover liabilities that may arise from litigation or other disputes. It includes an estimate of charges from litigation arising during the year and a review of the provisions for the estimate of cases which arose in previous years, updated based on the indications of our internal and external legal experts. The restructuring and relocation provisions are allocated mainly to offset planned charges and costs related to the industrial reorganisation plan of some production operations. The tax provision includes accruals made to cover losses that may be incurred by the company in connection with tax liabilities. Among other provisions for risks and charges are included foreseeable risks following operations in relation to the company Aree Urbane S.r.l., in addition to expenses in reference to the legal action pertaining to the former Praia a Mare factory.

Praia a Mare

With reference to the Praia a Mare dispute, as mentioned in the Report on Operations, beginning in 1999, some former employees and heirs of former employees at the Praia a Mare plant filed a motion with the Attorney General through the Court of Paola, seeking criminal action against the persons in charge of the plant from the 1960s through 2004, allegedly for functional omissions that, because of work safety conditions there, would have been the cause of death and serious health problems to some employees. In November 2013, by agreement with ENI S.p.A., all financial claims lodged by natural persons involved in the criminal proceedings and all those of former workers or heirs of former workers who took civil action from 2006 to 2008 against the Company, claiming compensation for damages allegedly suffered following occupational sickness, were settled. Following an ordinance of the mayor of Praia a Mare in January 2007, Marzotto S.p.A. was supposed to begin characterization activities of the area outside the factory in Praia a Mare overlooking the sea: these activities have currently been suspended pending cautionary proceedings, despite the fact that the Company, to this end, renewed its request for release from seizure in November 2013.

Other payables to the Tax Authorities refer for Euro 4,781 thousand to the amount recorded by the parent company as due to Equitalia Nord deriving from the litigation following the audit notice issued in December 1996 by the Inland Revenue Valdagno Office for alleged irregularities in the tax treatment of the 1990 acquisition of usage rights of shares; as of 31/12/2010 a provision for 16,240 thousand euro had been set aside. At the request of the Company, in October 2011 the request to pay in instalments was accepted and the payment was divided in 48 monthly instalments, the first of which was due at the end of October 2011. The Company has requested to the appropriate Authorities an amendment, because it considered wrong the criteria used to calculate the items “portion for arrears interests” and “portion collection compensation” included in the above repayment plan. By sentence no. 242/2012, the Milan Provincial Tax Commission declared that the “share of late payment interest” and the “part share of collection fees” for a total of Euro 808 thousand, was not due. The residual debt, recalculated by virtue of said sentence and still recorded as at the reporting date, was recalculated on the basis of that due following the benefits assigned by Law no. 147 of 27 December 2013, Art. 1 (2014 Stability Law) and thereafter paid on 28 January 2014.

Events after the date of these financial statements

As part of the strategic choices made by the Group, on 02 January 2014, Marzotto S.p.A. acquired 50% of the Lithuanian company Uab Lietvilna, the dying and reconditioning business unit in Piovene Rocchette (VI) and a 50% stake in the share capital of the newly-established Tintoria di Verrone S.r.l., from the joint venture company Filivivi S.r.l. By notary deed dated 24 February 2014, Marzotto S.p.A. sold its stake in Filivivi S.r.l., operating in the wool yarns segment, equal to 50% of the share capital, to Fraver S.p.A., which now holds the entire capital. As concerns this year’s economic trend, initial forecasts on data for the first half of 2014 in the Textile-Fashion segment suggest a reversal of trend (+2.1%), also for companies involved upstream in the chain (+0.4%). The domestic demand is also expected to be positive, with growth rates of +1.4%. As concerns short-term expectations monitored by sector studies, most operators are not expecting any major changes in the market situation and are basically looking at stability in the recession context seen in 2013. Within this context, the Group has recorded an 13.0% increase in turnover during the first two months of 2014 as compared with the same period of 2013. There are no other significant events to report that could affect the financial statements and their information.

Marzotto S.p.A. Report on the Company’s operations

[Significant events during the financial year] Shareholders, The financial statements for the year ended on 31 December 2013 submitted herewith for your approval close recording income of Euro 174,801 thousand and a loss of Euro 47,574 thousand, mainly due to non-recurring events as explained below. Marzotto S.p.A.’s financial statements have been prepared in compliance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IAS/IFRS) and the related interpretations by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), approved by the European Commission and incorporated in Italian law by Italian Legislative Decree 38/2005. We would refer you to the explanatory notes for comments on the results of the financial statements. Below, please find the information on the company’s position and future prospects, as well as that required by current legislation. Before moving onto discuss the business of your Company in FY 2013, we would first note the key events that took place in the year just ended and this year.

Praia dispute

Beginning in 1999, some former employees and heirs of former employees at the Praia a Mare plant filed a motion with the Attorney General through the Court of Paola, seeking criminal action against the persons in charge of the plant from the 1960s through 2004, allegedly for functional omissions that, because of work safety conditions there, would have been the cause of death and serious health problems to some employees. After the Judge of the same Court rejected three requests by the Examining Judge to close the case, in October 2009 and February 2010, the prosecution issued notices of completion of preliminary investigations, also for environmental crimes. In March 2011 Marzotto was served the summons of the responsible officer who, according to the ordinary proceedings, even if he did not commit crime, he is jointly responsible for the payment of damages, if any, as of today not assessed. In October 2013, the Court ordered an appraisal, the results of which, in March 2014, are as yet unknown. The proceedings are in the investigation stages. In November 2013, by agreement with ENI S.p.A., all financial claims lodged by natural persons involved in the criminal proceedings and all those of former workers or heirs of former workers who took civil action from 2006 to 2008 against the Company, claiming compensation for damages allegedly suffered following occupational sickness, were settled. Following an ordinance of the mayor of Praia a Mare in January 2007, Marzotto S.p.A. was supposed to begin characterization activities of the area outside the factory in Praia a Mare overlooking the sea: these activities have currently been suspended pending cautionary proceedings, despite the fact that the Company, to this end, renewed its request for release from seizure in November 2013. During the year, net charges were booked for Euro 9.3 million, as detailed below.

Dividend stripping

During FY 2010, in relation to the dispute pending before Cassation against sentence no. 78/2010 issued by the 4th chambers of the Regional Tax Commission of Venezia-Mestre on 21/09/2010, Marzotto S.p.A. has been notified of an entry in the tax litigation list and the pertaining payment request for a total of 28.2 million euro, subsequently reduced to 16.2 thanks to the steps taken by the competent Bodies based on appeals presented by the involved Corporations, namely Marzotto S.p.A. and, by virtue of the partial proportional spin-off of July 2005, Valentino Fashion Group S.p.A., jointly and respectively 1/3 and 2/3 of said liability towards the tax authority. At the request of Marzotto S.p.A., in October 2011 the request to allow for payment by instalments was granted, with payment thus divided up into 48 monthly instalments. In January 2014, Marzotto S.p.A. and Valentino Fashion Group S.p.A. stipulated a settlement agreement to define, amongst other aspects, their joint liability to make payment of said tax notice and the lawsuit in question. Under this agreement, Marzotto S.p.A. paid the tax payable as a lump sum, thereby benefiting from the 2014 Stability Law, releasing Valentino Fashion Group S.p.A. from its obligations, which, in turn, waived all claims made against Marzotto S.p.A., abandoning all civil proceedings brought before the Court of Milan. During the year analysed, net non-recurring charges were booked for Euro 10 million.

[Significant events during the financial year] Aree Urbane

In November 2012, Marzotto S.p.A. and the shareholders Prelios and Telecom stipulated an agreement aimed at defining guidelines to conduct to be held in restoring “Aree Urbane S.r.l. in liquidazione” to performing status. The effect of this agreement was subject to a condition precedent, an essential condition to restoring the affiliate to performing status, which envisaged reaching an agreement with the chosen banks to refinance the past-due debt of Aree Urbane. As this condition was not met, the shareholders expressed their intention to offer the banks an “ordered” liquidation of Aree Urbane, as there was no longer any interest in pursuing the business. It was considered prudent to write down the residual amount of the receivable due from the affiliate, of Euro 14.7 million.

Share grouping

During the first few months of 2013, the Company implemented the share grouping project resolved by the extraordinary shareholders’ meeting held on 10 September 2012. At the same time, the indication of the nominal value of the shares in issue was eliminated, in accordance with the combined provisions of Art. 2328, paragraph two, no. 5 and 2346, paragraph three of the Italian Civil Code, and the Articles of Association were amended. Grouping took place at a ratio of one new securitised share per 13,001 existing dematerialised shares and upon annulment of the smallest number of shares necessary to allow for the regrouping. The shares not grouped were annulled and monetised without reducing the share capital, at the value of Euro 3.80 per share, withdrawing the relevant amounts from the equity reserves.

Net revenues went from Euro 164.9 million to Euro 174.8 million, totalling an increase of 6% on last year. This positive change is mainly due to the recovery of demand on the Company’s reference markets. More specifically, whilst domestic demand recorded a slight reduction (-3.4%), elsewhere in Europe, a clear improvement was seen (+ 10.8%). Albeit for a less significant absolute value, sales in North America (+48.7%) and Asia (+3.8%) rose. The increase seen in the cost of goods sold is basically related to the improved turnover booked in 2013. Below is a breakdown according to sector and geographical area:

[Report on the Company’s operations] Result from ordinary operations

The above analyses show an operating result from the Company’s core business that is a great improvement of the figures booked for last year, equal to Euro 1.6 million (operating result of -0.2 million in 2012). The best performance achieved during the year is due to an increase in turnover (+6%) mainly due to a recovery of export sales, also thanks to a policy that pays attention to prices an product mixes and the choices to reposition some clients considered to be at risk. Action has also been taken to improve the competitiveness of the costs of production and meet the demands of an increasingly complex market with a varied offer and products for different targets, focusing on specific “Made in Italy” assets such as flexibility, market response speed, even for small lots, customer service and excellent quality, know-how and innovation capacity. Important steps were taken also to improve the productivity of the weaving and finishing processes, thanks to carefully-focused multi-year investment plans, organization changes and training interventions to improve efficiency and decrease machine times, as well as improve quality.

Non recurring income and charges

As at the reporting date, the net balance of non-recurring operations is negative for euro 19.5 million and includes: 

 



business plan expenses for approximately Euro 0.3 million, allocated against costs for reorganisations of production departments and expenses connected with decommissioned areas and plants; expenses connected with the fulfilment of the “Praia” transaction during the financial year for approximately Euro 2.7 million; provisions made to the provision for legal disputes for approximately Euro 6.6 million, allocated for expenses estimated as likely to be incurred over the forthcoming years for disputes underway; dividend stripping expenses for approximately Euro 9 million, to close the liability due to the Tax Authority and the dispute involving Valentino Fashion Group to collect the receivable due.

Financial charges, net

In FY 2013, the Company booked net financial expense for Euro 3.1 million, as compared with financial expense for Euro 2.8 million last year. This change is basically due to the increased average debt for 2013 as compared with 2012, faced with the greater difference between active rates on deposits and negative rates on loans.

Dividends from shareholdings

Dividends collected by the parent company in 2013 from subsidiaries and joint ventures amount to Euro 7.2 million, against dividends collected for Euro 5.4 million last year. In detail, dividends collected relate to the foreign subsidiaries Novà Mosilana (Czech Republic) and AB Liteksas (Lithuania), received by the direct parent company Marzotto Textile NV for Euro 4.3 million and the Italian subsidiary Biella Manifatture Tessili S.r.l. for Euro 2 million and the subsidiary, by means of joint ventures, Ratti S.p.A., for Euro 0.9 million.

Other financial income and charges

The balance of Other financial income and charges, of Euro 26.6 million, includes Euro 14.7 million for the impairment of the receivable due from the affiliate Aree Urbane S.r.l. in liquidation, by virtue of the estimated presumed realisation value that is basically null and Euro 11.9 million for the write-down of the equity investment held in Linificio e Canapificio Nazionale S.r.l. due to permanent loss of value, in application of IAS 39.

[Report on the Company’s operations] Income taxes

Beginning in the tax year 2008, the companies Marzotto S.p.A., Immobili e Partecipazioni S.r.l., Linificio e Canapificio Nazionale S.r.l. and Licana S.p.A. (in liquidation), with renewal for the three years 2011-2013, as well as, beginning in 2009 Biella Manifatture Tessili S.r.l. (formerly Tallia di Delfino S.p.A.), Le Cotonerie S.r.l. (formerly Immobiliare Isola S.r.l.) and Ambiente Energia S.r.l., with renewal for the three years 2012-2014, chose the national tax consolidation regime, for which the parent company is the holding Wizard S.r.l., and its effects are also reflected in the results as of 31 December 2013. Immobili e Partecipazioni S.r.l., following the spin-off of Wizard in 2012, left the tax consolidation (with effect as from 01 January 2012). 2013 income tax was -0.2 million as compared with +2.6 million euros last year. The 2013 balance includes IRAP taxes for 1.4 million (0.9 million the year before), and additional income taxes for -0.2 million (+0.3 million in 2012).

Net result

The above analysis reveals a negative net period result for Euro 47.6 million as compared with a positive result for Euro 2.9 million for FY 2012. The year examined therefore archives a negative change of -50.5 million, detailed below: (in millons of euro)

Net invested capital

Invested capital, net of current liabilities, is Euro 142.6 million, down Euro 29.3 million on end 2012. This change relates to the major changes made to the net working capital and fixed assets, only partially offset by the reduction recorded in medium/long-term provisions. More specifically, net working capital is down Euro 14.6 million, of which approximately Euro 10.0 million due to the write-down of the receivable due from Valentino Fashion Group S.p.A. The change seen in fixed assets, equal to Euro 26.2 million, mainly refers to the change recorded in “Equity investments” for Euro 24.1 million, relating for 12.9 million to changes made to the equity investment in Filivivi S.r.l. (of which Euro 7 million to bring the book value into line with the presumed realisation value and Euro 5.9 million as reclassification from “equity investments” to “assets held for sale” in line with the operation implemented in 2014) and for Euro 11.9 million to the write-down of the equity investment in Linificio S.r.l. The effect of these actions has only partly been offset by the increase seen in the Sametex investment (approximately 0.7 million) and other minorities.

Net borrowing

The Company’s net financial debt records a worsening on last year, going from net debt of 61.9 million to net debt of Euro 82.5 million.

Net shareholders’ equity

As at the reporting date, the Company’s shareholders’ equity totalled Euro 60.1 million, down on end 2012, which was Euro 110 million. The change booked is due to the negative result achieved of -47.6 million euros. To aid comprehension of the Company’s equity position, we should point out that the index measuring the ratio of own funds and net invested capital has reduced, going from 64.0% at end 2012 to 42.1% at end 2013.

The operating result as at 31 December 2013 is negative for Euro 2.7 million as compared with -3.5 million euros last year. Despite staying negative, this result has improved 22.9% with an incidence on net income from sales of -7.3% (-10.1% in 2012). The difference mainly relates to the greater gross margin, which shows an 8.3% incidence on revenues (7.2% in 2012), whilst commercial, general and administrative costs are instead basically in line with the data recorded last year.

Marzotto S.p.A. Report on the Company’s operations

[Investments in subsidiaries and associates] Invested capital

Invested capital, net of current liabilities, is Euro 36.5 million, down Euro 3.4 million on end 2012. This change is basically due to the management of current assets/liabilities (expressed by net operating capital) and changes to fixed assets. In detail, the reduction booked by net working capital, for Euro 0.5 million, is due to the following factors: a reduction in the value of final inventories for Euro 4.9 million and a reduction in sundry receivables for Euro 1.2 million, partially offset by the decline in short-term liabilities for Euro 3.3 million and an increase in trade receivables for Euro 2.3 million. The change totalled by fixed assets is instead mainly connected with period amortisation/depreciation, only partially offset by investments made (investments were Euro 0.8 million in 2013). To complete our information, please note that this year was also affected by factoring operations. The effect deriving from receivables transferred without recourse, as at the reporting date, is Euro 1.1 million, in line with the transfers made last year (Euro 1.2 million).

Net borrowing

The Group’s net financial debt records a reduction of Euro 1.6 million, going from liquidity of 1.4 million and net debt of Euro 0.2 million. This change is mainly due to the result of current operations.

[Investments in subsidiaries and associates] Shareholdings in Subsidiaries

Below is a summary on the shareholdings in other subsidiaries:

Biella Manifatture Tessili S.r.l.

In subscribing a reserved share capital increase of Euro 3,500,000, July 2008 saw Marzotto S.p.A. acquire a 70% stake in the share capital of Fratelli Tallia di Delfino S.p.A. and as from 30 July 2008, the Company has been subject to the management and coordination of its parent company.

(formerly Tallia di Delfino S.p.A.)

At the extraordinary shareholders’ meeting of 25 November 2009, called for the provisions pursuant to Art. 2447 of the Italian Civil Code, the share capital was zeroed and at the same time restored to Euro 200,000 by means of the issue of 200,000 shares, each worth a nominal value of 1 euro and unitary premium of 14 euros, for a total of 3,000,000 euros. Marzotto S.p.A. has subscribed its 70% share and, by virtue of the failure of Appia S.r.l. to exercise its stock options, as from 15 January 2010 it has become the sole shareholder of Tallia. Thereafter, with the extraordinary shareholders’ meeting of 26 April 2011, a share capital increase was resolved, which was fully subscribed, by means of the conferral by Marzotto of the business unit referred to as “Lanifici Biellesi”, corresponding to the Guabello and Marlane business. The operation took effect on 01 May 2011. At the same time, the Company changed its name to “Biella Manifatture Tessili S.p.A”. This operation has concentrated the textile activities of the Marzotto Group around the Biella area in one single corporate hub, to take advantage of all possible actions to increase the system as a whole. In operative terms, the operation enabled completion of the synergies initiated in relation to the industrial, logistic, managerial and human resource processes. Thanks to the relevant synergies existing between Guabello, Marlane and Tallia, there’s a structural and functional bond between them which ensures competitive and efficiency advantages for the respective products which, since they are complementary, have enabled us to offer the market a complete range of “Made in Biella” articles. At the same time, the operation has enabled us to seize the opportunities to enhance and better develop the different brands, creating a strong group in its size, strengthened by belonging to the wool district and therefore benefiting for the quality and product recognition typical of the Made in Biella, exploiting the added value deriving from the fact that it is part of the wool-making district par excellence. The positive effects of the operation, seen in FY 2011 despite the very negative outlook and the continued severe world crisis, were also seen in the year just ended. Biella Manifatture Tessili has managed to maintain turnover basically in line with last year, going from Euro 90.8 million in 2012 to Euro 89.5 million in 2013 and a core business result that stands at Euro 6.1 million (Euro 6.3 million in 2012). In FY 2013, the subsidiary changed its business name from Biella Manifatture Tessili S.p.A. to Biella Manifatture Tessili S.r.l.

Marzotto Textile NV

Marzotto S.p.A. Report on the Company’s operations

Incorporated on 19 April 2005 following the demerger operation from Marzotto International N.V., by transferring the shareholdings pertaining to the Textile business sector, at the end of 2010 it controls directly the foreign companies Novà Mosilana a.s. and AB Liteksas (important production facilities located in the Czech Republic and Lithuania respectively), Marzotto International Trading Shanghai Co. LTD (Sales representation company established in 2005 to monitor the Far East markets) and Marzotto Textiles Usa Inc. (Incorporated on 02 January 2008 to carry out sale activities in the North American markets for the fabrics and home décor sectors).

[Investments in subsidiaries and associates] Sametex Spol s r.o.

The Czechoslovakian company was acquired by Marzotto as part of the “Velvet project” on 01 August 2012. It produces velvet fabrics for the international market. The Company was subjected to bankruptcy proceedings early 2012 after long-standing economic and financial difficulties connected with the events of the Italian parent company “Redaelli Tessuti S.r.l in liquidazione e concordato preventivo”. In FY 2013, restructuring continued to allow normal business to resume. At the start of the year, the Court of Usti Nad Labem approved the restructuring plan submitted by the parent company, which was thereafter implemented in February 2013. By resolution issued in April by the Czechoslovakian court, the subsidiary Sametex was released from insolvency proceedings.

Marzotto Textile Cz s r.o.

The Czechoslovakian company Marzotto Textile CZ was established on 10 June 2013. The company provides technical consulting services.

Girmes Int. G.m.b.h.

Girmes was acquired by Marzotto under the scope of the “Velvet operation”; it distributes velvet fabrics internationally. As part of the rationalisation undertaken to restore economic management conditions for the activities relating to the new Velvet business, the rationalisation and simplification of the logistic and distribution activities of Girmes was evaluated in order to exploit the synergies that the existing Italian structures can allow in the mentioned areas. As from FY 2013, Girmes provides representation and commercial intermediation for the parent company Marzotto S.p.A.

Finvel S.r.l.

Marzotto S.p.A. Report on the Company’s operations

Again under the scope of the Velvet project, late 2012, Marzotto took over 100% of the shares in Finvel S.r.l., a small textile company based in Lecco and specialised in marketing warped velvet for furnishing and clothing, founded in 2011 with a view to continuing the work of Redaelli Velluti. The aims of the purchase of shares by Marzotto were to take over the order book and know-how developed internally. By notary deed dated December 2013, a merger by acquisition was finalised of Finvel S.r.l. by Marzotto S.p.A., with retroactive accounting and tax effect as at 01 January 2013.

Result from ordinary operations

The Group result from ordinary operations, although still negative and standing at -0.7 million euros, does record an improvement on end 2012 (+36.4%). The improvement in the income is due to both the increased turnover (+3.4%) and the completion of the production offshoring that had begun in previous years and continued during the year.

Invested capital

Invested capital, net of current liabilities, is Euro 27.4 million (pro quota), in line with end 2012. This balance is due to the reduction recorded in net working capital, due to the ever-attentive management of inventories and collections, offset by the reduction in medium/long-term provisions, which drop following envisaged uses during the year as employees leave.

Net borrowing

Net borrowing as at 31 December 2013 is Euro 28.0 million (pro quota), an improvement of Euro 1.7 million on last year. This change is mainly due to the negative cash flow of operations.

(1). The Filivivi group figures shown are considered at 50% (the joint-venture is consolidated pro-quota at 50%). (2). Including revenues towards other sectors of the Group for 4.3 million (2013) and 2.6 million (2012).

Result from ordinary operations

The result from ordinary operations is euro 6.0 million (2.0 million the share pertaining to Marzotto), as compared with 7.1 million (2.4 the share pertaining to Marzotto) recorded in 2012.

Net invested capital

Net operating capital is up on last year, mainly due to the reduction in short-term non-financial liabilities. Fixed assets are basically stable and include investments for a total of 4.1 million (down 1.7 million on last year) in relation specifically to the strengthening of the ink-jet printing department, adjustments/bringing up to standard of plants and the acquisition of miscellaneous equipment in the printing departments.

Net financial position

Marzotto S.p.A. Report on the Company’s operations

The Net Financial Position has declined, going from +1.4 million euros at end 2012 to basically break-even in 2013. The change is mainly the result of investments made that, if added to outlays for the distribution of dividends as resolved in 2012, neutralise the positive cash flow deriving from the core business.

(MWI) S.A.E., a company incorporate in Egypt whose business purpose is the processing of textile fibres (combing, carbonization, other processes) at a newly built factory in Sadat City (Egypt); this is the result of a cooperation agreement with the Schneider group, an important and well known player in the industry. The factory full capacity operation was postponed to the end of 2011 due to the country’s socialpolitical situation, in view of which, Marzotto has decided to undertake a five year insurance policy to protect the Group from any possible negative impact which may arise mainly from expropriation actions, currency restrictions, wars and civil unrest. FY 2013 saw the Company record a loss, connected with the failure to use production plant capacity to the full. In application of the reference accounting standards, the equity investment was measured as equity and its values were therefore adjusted accordingly.

The company was established in October 2002 as part of a project aimed at increasing the value and therefore the sale appeal of some real estate properties held by Marzotto S.p.A..It has been placed in liquidation in August 2010 following the failed share capital increase proposed to its Shareholders. Last year, Marzotto S.p.A. and the shareholders Prelios and Telecom stipulated an agreement aimed at defining guidelines to conduct to be held in restoring “Aree Urbane S.r.l. in liquidazione” to performing status. The effect of this agreement was subject to a condition precedent, an essential condition to restoring the affiliate to performing status, which envisaged reaching an agreement with the chosen banks to refinance the past-due debt of Aree Urbane. The above condition is not met this year, making it effectively difficult to pursue the affiliate’s business. In view of the current situation and for the lack, as at the date on which these financial statements are prepared, of any favourable prospects, the Company has chosen to fully write-down the receivable due from the affiliate, equal to Euro 14.7 million.

In September 2012, together with Loro Piana ed Ermenegildo Zegna, Marzotto acquired a 15% share in Pettinatura di Verrone, a Biella-based company specialised in super-fine, cashmere and vicuña wool combing, heading the Schneider group, which controls it with a 55% share. Focusing on a high quality product, Pettinatura di Verrone targets a niche market that does not directly suffer the competition of the companies based in emerging countries, at the same time striving to optimise the value of “Made in Italy”. The 2013 draft financial statements of the affiliate show net revenues of Euro 7.8 million, making for an improvement on last year (revenues of Euro 4.3 million in 2012) and a net result of +0.2 million euros (net result basically at break-even in 2012).

On 11 December 2013, the agreement was signed for the transfer of the “Tintoria di Piovene” BU from the affiliate Filivivi S.r.l. to Marzotto S.p.A. (with effect as at 02 January 2014). This BU includes all plants, machinery, assets and staff of the dye area, reconditioning and some complementary offices based in Piovene Rocchette (VI). More specifically, 23 people were transferred and included in the Marzotto workforce, of whom 14 classified as blue-collar workers and 9 as white-collar workers/middle management. On 28 August 2013, an agreement was reached on the reorganisation of work in the weaving department of Valdagno, with the transfer of assignments of Picanol looms from 12 to 15 looms per weaver. This agreement achieves the objective of increasing productivity and was together with some technical and organisational interventions useful to supporting product performance and quality. In 2012, consultation began for renewing the Company Supplementary Agreement (or 2nd level contract) valid for 2013, 2014 and 2015 for workers of the Valdagno plant (BMP division and central staff). On 18 January 2013, an agreement was reached with the national representatives of the textile segment trade unions present. During the year, consultation began for renewing the supplementary contracts for the Sondrio plant.

Training and development of human resources

Marzotto considers continuous training a key factor to increase and keep up-to-date its managers’ skills and technical knowledge of its collaborators. In 2013, Marzotto S.p.A. invested 1,206 hours in training (apart from training on safety), using inter-professional funds such as Fondimpresa and Fondirigenti. Marzotto has further developed the “Young Project”, the route involving the inclusion of young graduates in the Operations and Sales areas. Having started off in 2010 with the “Young Engineers Project”, it continued with the “Young Sales Project” in 2012; today Marzotto numbers 10 engineers hired and another 5 on traineeships within the Group plants, to develop specific, innovative projects in the production areas and 4 young sales staff studying and developing the market. All engineers and sales staff of the Young Project participate in specifically-planned training activities to develop their skills and professional and managerial capacity. Marzotto has continued to invest in the development of individual and community competences and performance: alongside interventions aimed at the individual (masters, specialisation courses), specific training programmes have also been organised involving some strategic communities for the business (sales area, fashion designers and “young talents”).

[Other information] Risk factors (IFRS 7)

The Company acts to identify and assess risk, thereafter implementing procedures for managing any risk factors that may influence company results. Below, we will analyze the risk factors distinguishing between external (contextual) risks and internal (processing) risks.

External risks (contextual risks)

Risks connected with the economic outlook The Company products are addressed to markets subject to demand cycles and are influenced by the general economic trend. Major downturns in consumption levels can have a considerable impact on the Company’s economic, equity and financial position. In order to mitigate the possible negative impact, the Company has a flexible structure, outsourcing part of production and splitting sales over a fleet of clients diversified according to products/trademarks and markets. Risks related to competition in the sectors of the Company’s operations The Competitive operates in a competitive environment; it is possible that the competition pressure due to a drop in demand translates to pressure on prices. Part of the product offered by the Company, especially in the more basic part, is interchangeable with products offered by our main competitors and therefore, in such cases, price is a significant sales factor. Should there be a particularly significant drop in volume and/or sale prices, the Company believes that there are actions that can be taken to cut its own cost structure, in order in minimize the possible negative effects on the economic, financial and equity situation.

Internal risks (processing risks)

Risks related to financing sources and liquidity risk The effects of the possible turmoil in the global financial system could represent a risk factor in relation to the possibility of obtaining further financial means at the current conditions. However the Company believes that the present debt structure, in particular the availability of lines committed in the medium/long term, the financial resources immediately available (deposits) and the lines of credits not used, will limit the negative impacts of a possible difficulty in obtaining credit. Credit risk Credit risk is the risk that a customer or one of the parties in a financial instrument may cause a financial loss by not complying with its obligation and it pertains mainly to trade receivables and financial investments of the Company. The commercial credit risk is essentially reduced also in view of the type of customers, which are diversified and not significantly concentrated in the new outlet markets. Through a specific department, the Company adopts procedures for verifying the credit rating of its customers when they request extended payments. Exposure is regularly monitored and suitable action is taken to combat delays, minimise exposure and reduce the risk of loss. The credit risk is also hedged using suitable insurance cover. As concerns the financial credit risk, the Company limits its exposure to credit risk by investing exclusively in high liquidity securities and only with high credit rating parties. The book value of financial assets represents the maximum exposure of the Company to the credit risk. At the end of the year the exposure was as follows: (thousands of euro)

Interest rate risk The Company is exposed to the risk of volatility of interest rates associated both with liquid funds and loans. The effects of the possible turmoil, already experienced in the banking system, could potentially represent a risk in relation to the cost of obtaining the financial resource. The considerable reduction of the reference rates has offset more than proportionally the average increase in the spreads recognized to the financing banking institutions in the recent past. The Company constantly monitors this risk and we do not believe that, this risk is significant in terms of possible effects. Exchange rate risk The Company also operates on markets not using the euro and is therefore potentially subject to changes in exchange rates. Considering the Company’s exposure to exchange rates fluctuations in foreign currency operations, we carry out hedging operations to determine the exchange rate based on estimates of sales and purchases volumes and the currency exchange rate considered when the price lists are prepared. Specifically, the Company uses the following hedging instruments:  foreign currency loans;  forward sales and purchases in foreign currency;  foreign currency options at fixed exchange rates. These hedging instruments are agreed upon with highest rated banks. The Company does not enter into forward or optional exchange rate contracts for speculative purposes. The hedged cash flows are expected within the financial year. With reference to the most significant currencies, the table below shows the Company exposure to the exchange rate risk at the date of the financial statements. 2013 (thousands of euro) Trade receivables Short term financial assets, cash and cash equivalents

[Other information] Environmental risk and safety The Company manages the environmental risk and safety with suitable staff training according to new legislation and by introducing systems to prevent and improve health and safety at work. In terms of safety, the Company invests constantly in protecting and ensuring the safety of the workplace, both inside and outside the production facilities. The organization is constantly committed to respecting environmental stands in compliance with the environmental regulations in force in each local area in reference to the specific activities. New investments are been considered, also in view of the environmental impact, the potential savings in resources and energy consumption during operations as well as the reduction of total waste material produced. Please note that under the scope of its business, no damages have been caused to the environment, nor have any sanctions applied for environmental crimes and/or damages. Please also note that there have been no incidents at work that were sufficiently severe as to cause grievous bodily harm or permanent injury to staff. Price risk The Company is exposed to the risk of changes in the prices of the raw materials and auxiliary materials used in production. This risk mainly lies in the difficulty in rapidly transferring any increase in the cost of provisioning to sale prices and in the need to keep sufficient stocks in order to constantly supply the production process. In order to cope with these risks, when preparing the budget and connected economic planning, the Management defines net requirements, which are covered by placing orders with suppliers in order to stabilise the price of raw materials and auxiliary materials. Adoption of organizational model pursuant to Italian Legislative Decree no. 231 of 08 June 2001 Activities continue on updating the organizational model adopted previously in order to prevent crimes from being committed by mapping out sensitive areas and associated risks, defining training/communication processes and defining a disciplinary/sanction system. Considering the type of production and the financial structure, there are no other significant risks.

[Performance news and outlook for the current year] The initial economic forecasts on data for the first half of 2014 in the Textile-Fashion segment suggest a reversal of trend (+2.1%), also for companies involved upstream in the chain (+0.4%).

Publication

To represent the results of the Group as a whole, the Company, who holds controlling interests, has prepared together with the company’s financial statements, the Group’s consolidated financial statements. The publication of these financial statements has been authorized by the Board of Directors on 27 March 2014.

Financial statements

The Financial Statements consist of the Balance Sheet, the Statement of period profit/(loss) and other items of the statement of comprehensive income, the comprehensive Income Statement, the Cash flow statement, the Statement of Changes in Shareholders’ Equity and the relevant explanatory notes. With regard to the presentation of the financial statements, the Company has made the following choices:

128

Marzotto S.p.A. Company financial statements



for the Balance Sheet we have indicated separately current and non-current assets and current and non-current liabilities. Current assets are expected to be realized, transferred or consumed during the regular operating cycle of the Company; current liabilities are expected to be paid off during the regular operating cycle of the Company or in the twelve months following the close of the period;



for the Statement of period profit/(loss) and other items of the statement of comprehensive income, costs are allocated according to their intended purpose;



for the Cash flow statement we have used the indirect method.

Introduction

Accounting principles

[Notes to the Company’s financial statements] Marzotto S.p.A.’s financial statements for FY 2013 have been prepared in compliance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IAS/IFRS) and the related interpretations by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), approved by the European Commission and incorporated in Italian law by Italian Legislative Decree 38/2005.

The accounting principles adopted are comparable to those used as of 31 December 2012, except for the adoption of the following new or revised IFRS or IFRIC: 

IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements – Presentation of other items in comprehensive income. This amendment to IAS 1 changes how other items presented in OCI are grouped. The items that are potentially re-classifiable (or “recyclable”) to profit or loss (for example upon cancellation or liquidation) should be presented separately from those that will never be reclassified. This amendment refers only to the presentation and has no effect on the Group financial position or profit.



IAS 12 Income taxes – Recovery of underlying assets. The amendment introduces a rebuttable presumption that the deferred taxes on real estate investments measured based on the fair value according to IAS 40 should be calculated based on the fact that the book value will be recovered through recovered sale. In addition, it introduces the request that the calculation of deferred taxes on assets that cannot be depreciated measured according to the cost method as defined by IAS 16, be always measured based on the sale of the asset. The amendment will be effective for tax years beginning on or after 01 January 2013.



IFRS 7 - Disclosures - Offsetting financial assets and liabilities. These changes require the entity to provide a disclosure on offsetting rights and related agreements (e.g. guarantees). The disclosure will provide the reader of the financial statements with useful information by which to evaluate the effect of the offsetting agreements on the entity’s financial position. The new information is required for all financial instruments concerned by offsetting in accordance with IAS 32 Financial instruments: presentation. The disclosure is also required for financial instruments subject to executive offsetting framework agreements or similar, regardless of whether or not they are offset in accordance with IAS 32. These amendments did not affect the Group’s financial position or profit.

The principles that were issued as of the date of these financial statements but not yet effective are indicated below. This list contains principles and interpretation that the Company reasonably expects will be applicable in the future. The Company intends to adopt these principles when they become effective.

Introduction

Marzotto S.p.A. Company financial statements

[Notes to the Company’s financial statements] 

IFRS 10 – Consolidated Financial Statements. IFRS 10 replaces the portion of IAS 27 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements that addresses the accounting for consolidated financial statements. It also addresses the issues raised in SIC-12 Consolidation – Special Purpose Entities. IFRS 10 establishes a single control model that applies to all entities, including ‘special purpose entities’. The changes introduced by IFRS 10 will require management to exercise significant judgement to determine which entities are controlled and, therefore, must be consolidated by the Parent Company. This principle is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 01 January 2014.



IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements. IFRS 11 replaces IAS 31 Interests in Joint Ventures and SIC-13 Jointly-controlled Entities - Nonmonetary Contributions by Venturers. IFRS 11 removes the option to account for jointly controlled entities using proportionate consolidation. For joint operations which respect the joint venture definition must be accounted for using the equity method. The application of this principle will affect the Consolidated Financial Statements for the deconsolidation of the Ratti Group and their accounting based on the equity method, which will impact the exposure of the financial position, the economic result and the cash flows of these groups. This principle is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 01 January 2014.



IAS 27 Separate financial statements (revised in 2011). Following the new IFRS 10 and IFRS 12, what remains of IAS 27 is limited to accounting for investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates in separate financial statements. The amendments become effective for annual periods beginning on or after 01 January 2014.



IAS 28 Investments in associates (revised in 2011). Following the new IFRS 11 and IFRS 12, IAS 28 was renamed Investments in associates and joint ventures, and it describes the application of the equity method for joint ventures, in addition to associates. The amendments become effective for annual periods beginning on or after 01 January 2014.



IAS 32 Offsetting financial assets and liabilities - Changes to IAS 32 The changes clarify the meaning of “currently has a legally enforceable right of set-off”. The changes also clarify the application of the offsetting criterion of IAS 32 in the event of regulation systems (such as, for example, centralised offsetting rooms), which apply gross, non-simultaneous settlement mechanisms. These changes should not affect the Group’s financial position or results and shall come into force for years starting on 01 January 2014 or thereafter.



IFRS 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities. IFRS 12 includes all of the disclosures that were previously in IAS 27 related to consolidated financial statements, as well as all of the disclosures that were previously included in IAS 31 and IAS 28. These disclosures relate to an entity’s interests in subsidiaries, joint arrangements, associates and structured entities. A number of new disclosures are also required. This principle is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 01 January 2014.

Valuation criteria

[Notes to the Company’s financial statements]

Valuation criteria

The most significant valuation standards adopted in preparing the financial statements are indicated below:

1.1 Real estate, plants and machinery 1.2 Civil real estate

Real estate, plants and machinery are carried at historical cost, including directly attributable accessory costs. Land, both vacant and annexed to civil or industrial buildings, has not been amortized since its useful life in indefinite. Some assets that had been revaluated in previous periods, are shown at the revaluated amount, considered their deemed cost on the transition date to IAS. Maintenance and repair expenses that do not increase the value or prolong the remaining useful life of assets are recognized as expenses in the period in which they are incurred. Tangible assets are shown net of accumulated depreciation and any reductions in value, determined in accordance with the methods described below. Depreciation is straight-line, based on the estimated useful life of the asset. The estimated useful life of the main real estate, plant and machinery is as follows: Land Civil buildings Industrial buildings Plant and machinery: - Textile - Corrosive environment textile - Other Industrial and commercial equipment Other assets: - Electronic office machines - Office furniture and fixtures - Vehicles

undefined 33 years/undefined 10/33 years 8 years 5/6 years 7/25 years 4/7 years 5 years 7/8 years 4 years

1.3 Goodwill, trademarks and other intangible assets

Intangible assets with a “finite useful life” are recognised at cost, determined according to the methods prescribed for tangible assets, and shown net of accumulated amortization and any permanent reductions in value, determined according to the methods described below. Intangible assets with “indefinite useful life” (e.g. trademarks) are not amortized.

Value reduction

The Company verifies, at each financial statements’ date, if there is any indication of lasting reduction in value for all assets. If these indications exist, an estimate is prepared of the value that can be recovered on the asset, i.e. the greater of the fair value of an asset or cash generating unit, less the costs of sale, and its use value. In determining its use value, estimated future cash flow is discounted to current value, using a gross tax rate that reflects current market appraisals of the value of the money and specific risks of the asset. A reduction in value is recognized in the Income statement when the book value of the asset, or of the related cash generating unit, to which it is allocated, is greater than the estimated realizable value. Reductions in value are written back if the reasons for the devaluation are no longer present.

1.5 Shareholdings

Shareholdings in controlled, jointly controlled and affiliated companies that represent lasting investments are shown at the cost of acquisition or establishment, insofar as it is representative of the fair value. The Company verifies, at each financial statements’ date, if there is any indication of lasting reduction in value for all shareholdings as compared with the value at which they were first booked. Shareholdings in controlled, jointly controlled and affiliated companies that represent lasting investments therefore maintain the value at which they were first booked, unless impairment is recorded. Shareholdings in other companies are valued at fair value, charging any profits or losses directly to shareholders’ equity. At the time of their sale, such accumulated profits and losses are recognised in the Income statement. When their fair value cannot be reliably determined, shareholdings in other companies are valued at cost adjusted for reductions in value, with the difference recognized in the Income statement.

Marzotto S.p.A. Company financial statements

131

Valuation criteria

[Notes to the Company’s financial statements] In particular, shareholdings in subsidiary and affiliated companies are impairment tested at least once a year; this test requires an estimate of the value that can be recovered on the asset, namely the greater of the fair value of an asset or cash generating unit, less the costs of sale, and its use value.

1.8 Long term financial assets

Financial assets are initially carried at the value sustained, representative of the fair value, and later recognized at the lower between the book value and the estimated sale value (IAS 39).

2. Non-current assets held for sale

Assets or groups of assets and liabilities whose value will be recovered mainly through sale rather than ongoing use are recognised separately from other assets and liabilities in the Balance sheet. Non-current assets or groups of assets and liabilities held for sale are recognised at the lower between the book value and the fair value net of the costs of sale.

3.1 Inventories

Inventory of raw materials, semi-finished goods and finished goods is carried at the lower between the cost of purchase or production and the estimated net realizable value, using the average weighted cost criteria to determine the cost. The stock valuation includes direct material and labour costs and indirect costs (variable and fixed), due to production.

3.2 Trade receivables 3.3 Other receivables

Trade receivables due within standard business terms and other operating receivables (other receivables) are not discounted and are carried at nominal value net of any write-downs (fair value). The adjustment to the estimated realizable value is recognised in a special adjustment reserve.

3.4 Current financial assets, cash and cash equivalents

Financial assets held for trading are recognized at the fair value shown in the Income Statement. Cash and cash equivalents are made up of cash in hand, i.e. cash that is readily available or on a very short term, successfully, and without collection expenses. A financial asset (or, if applicable, a portion of a financial asset or portion of a group of similar financial assets) is cancelled from the balance sheet when:

5.1 Long-term provisions

132

Marzotto S.p.A. Company financial statements



the rights to receive financial flows from the asset expired;



the Company has transferred the right to receive financial flows from the asset or has taken over the contractual obligation to pay them fully and without delay to a third party and (a) it has basically transferred all risks and benefits of the ownership of the financial asset or (b) it has not transferred nor retained basically all risks and benefits of the asset, but it has transferred the control of the same.

Provisions to long-term reserves are recognized when there is a legal or implicit obligation towards a third party and it is likely that there will be an outlay of resources the amount of which can be reliably estimated. If the effect is significant, the provisions are determined by discounting the expected future financial flows at a pre-tax discount rate that reflects the current market value of the cost of money in relation to time. When the amount is discounted, the increase in the provision due to the passing of time is recognised as a financial charge.

Valuation criteria

[Notes to the Company’s financial statements] Defined contribution plans Defined contribution plans are post-employment benefits plans on which basis the entity pays fixed contributions to a separate entity and shall have no legal or implicit obligation to pay additional contributions. The contributions to be paid into defined contribution plans are recorded as a cost in the result of the period in which they are incurred. Contributions paid in advance are recorded amongst assets to the extent to which the advance payment will determine a reduction in future payments or a refund. Defined benefits plans The amount payable for staff termination indemnity comes under the scope of defined benefits pension plans, which are plans based on the working life of employees and on the remuneration received by the employee during a pre-determined period of service. More specifically, the liability relating to the staff termination indemnity of staff is booked at its actuarial value, insofar as it can be classified as employee benefits due according to a defined provision plan. The booking of defined provision plans requires an estimate using actuarial techniques of the amount of the provisions accrued by employees in exchange for his work during the current and previous years, and the discounting of these provisions in order to determine the current value of the company’s commitments (IAS 19). According to Law no. 296/06, effective from 30 June 2007, the Staff termination indemnities accrued after 01 January 2007 must be paid in an appropriate treasury fund opened with INPS (National Institute for Social Protection) or, according to the instructions of the employee, to the selected fund. With these payments, the item relating to staff termination indemnities is no longer affected by accruals, contrary to staff termination indemnities accrued by 31 December 2006, which therefore come under the scope of defined benefits pension plans. In June 2012, IAS 19 was amended to provide for the recording of changes to actuarial gains/losses of defined benefits plans and, therefore, including employee termination indemnities, amongst items of the Statement of Comprehensive Income, as from 01 January 2013. The Company has decided to apply this amendment early, as from the financial statements as at 31 December 2012.

5.4 Long-term financial payables

Financial liabilities, except for derivatives, are initially carried at fair value net of directly attributable transaction costs. They are later measured using the actual interest rate method.

6.1 Trade payables and other payables

Trade payables due within standard business terms, and other operating payables, are not discounted and are carried at nominal value.

6.2 Current financial payables

Financial liabilities, except for derivatives, are carried at fair value net of directly attributable transaction costs.

[Notes to the Company’s financial statements]

Derivative financial instruments

Derivatives are carried at fair value. They are designated as hedging instruments when the relationship between the derivative and the underlying instrument is formally documented and the effectiveness of the hedge, which is verified periodically, is adequate. When the derivatives cover the risk of change in fair value of the underlying instruments (fair value hedge), they are carried at fair value, and the difference is recognised in the Income statement; consistently, the underlying instruments are adjusted to reflect the change in fair value associated with the hedged risk, and the difference is also recognised in the Income statement. When derivatives cover the risk of changes in cash flows from the underlying instruments (cash flow hedge), the changes in fair value are initially recognised in the shareholders’ equity and later in the Income statement, consistently with the effects produced by the hedging transaction. Changes in the fair value of derivatives that do not satisfy the conditions for being qualified as hedges are recognised in the Income statement.

Translation of items in foreign currency

Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded at the exchange rate prevailing on the day of the transaction. At the closing date, trade and financial receivables and payables are adjusted to the exchange rate at end of the year. The instruments used to hedge the exchange rate risk, in relation to specific assets and liabilities or groups of assets and liabilities, are shown in the income statement on an accrual basis.

Contributions

Contributions from both government agencies and private third parties are carried at fair value when there is the reasonable certainty that they will be received and the prescribed conditions for obtaining them are satisfied. Contributions received for specific expenses are recognised among other liabilities and credited to the Income statement on a straight-line basis throughout the same period in which the related costs accrue. Contributions received for specific assets whose value is stated among tangible and intangible assets, are shown among liabilities and credited in the Income statement in relation to the depreciation period for the assets to which they refer. Contributions during the accounting period are fully recognised in the Income statement at the time the conditions for recognizing them are satisfied.

Fair value

The fair values used to prepare the financial statements, referred to the valuation of term purchases and sale of foreign currency and to foreign exchange options, were established based on the rates from the banking system.

Marzotto S.p.A. Company financial statements

Valuation criteria

[Notes to the Company’s financial statements]

7. Revenues

Depending on the type of transaction, revenues are recognised based on specific criteria indicated below:  revenues from the sale of goods are recognised when the significant risks and benefits of ownership are transferred to the purchaser (typically at the time of shipment);  revenues for services provided are recognised based on the status of completion basis of the assets.

14. Financial charges, net

Financial revenues and charges are recognised on the basis of accrued interest on the net value of the relevant financial assets and liabilities using the actual interest rate.

15. Dividends

Dividends are recognised when the right to receive payment is established. Dividends payable to third parties are shown as changes in net equity on the date they are approved by the Shareholders’ Meeting.

19. Taxes

Current income taxes for the financial year are determined based on estimates of taxable income and according to law. Deferred and advance income taxes are calculated on the temporary differences between the recorded asset values and the respective recognized values for tax purposes, applying the tax rate in effect at the date the temporary difference will be reversed, calculated on the basis of the tax rates provided by the law or substantially in force at the accounting reference date. The asset entry for advance tax payments is made when recovery is likely, that is when it is estimated that in the future there will be taxable amounts sufficient to recover the asset. The ability to recover assets for advance tax payments is reassessed at the end of each accounting period.

Use of estimates

In application of IFRS, preparing the financial statements requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the values of balance sheet assets and liabilities and the relevant information, as well as potential assets and liabilities at the reference date. Estimates and their underlying assumptions are based on past experience and on other factors that are deemed reasonable in each case. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically and the effects of each change are reflected in the Income statement. A significant discretionary valuation is required from the Administrators to establish the amount of deferred tax assets that may be posted. They have to estimate the likely time of occurrence and the amount of future profit subject to tax as well as a planning strategy for future taxes. Estimates are also used to record provisions for bad debt, for inventory obsolescence, amortization and depreciation, employee benefits, provisions for risks and charges. At the date of each annual report, the Company verifies if there’s any indication of permanent value reduction for all non-financial assets. Goodwill and other intangible assets with an indefinite useful life are subject to review each year to identify any decrease in value. The recoverable value of non-current assets is typically established in reference to the use value, based on the present value of financial flows expected from the continuous use of the asset. This verification involves also the choice of an adequate discount rate to calculate the present value of the expenses financial flows.

Other information Tax consolidation

[Notes to the Company’s financial statements] Effective from the year 2008 Marzotto S.p.A., Immobili e Partecipazioni S.r.l., Linificio e Canapificio Nazionale S.r.l. and Licana S.p.A. in liquidation, have all agreed to the Domestic Tax Consolidation, the Parent Company for it is Wizard S.r.l. In 2011, these companies renewed their acceptance also for the three years 2011-2013. Since 2009 also the subsidiaries Biella Manifatture Tessili S.r.l., Ambiente Energia S.r.l. and Le Cotonerie S.r.l. (former Immobiliare Isola S.r.l.) are part of the Domestic Tax Consolidation, with renewal for the three years 2012-2014. Following the spin-off of Wizard S.r.l. in the favour of Witch S.r.l. in FY 2012, Immobili e Partecipazioni S.r.l., a subsidiary of the latter Company, left the tax consolidation of Wizard S.r.l., as they no longer met the requirements lad down by legislation governing participation in the tax consolidation. Adhesion to the tax consolidation of Wizard S.r.l. is governed by a specific regulation in force for the entire period for which the option is valid. Economic relations for the tax consolidation are regulated as follows:  subsidiaries which have positive taxable income for the years concerned pay Wizard S.r.l. the greater tax due by it;  companies consolidated with negative taxable income receive compensation amounting to 100% of the tax saving achieved on a group level from Wizard S.r.l. This compensation is due when effectively used by Wizard S.r.l.;  if Wizard S.r.l. and the subsidiaries should not renew the domestic tax consolidation option, or if the requirements to continue to apply it should be forfeited prior to the end of the three years for which the option is valid, the tax losses that can be reported as resulting from the declaration are allocated proportionally to the companies that produced them. Early termination of the tax consolidation agreement or failure to renew it shall not have any penalty for the participating companies. In 2013 Marzotto S.p.A. and its affiliate Filivivi S.r.l. renewed the tax transparency regime for the three year period 2013 – 2014 - 2015.

Valuation criteria Velvet division

[Notes to the Company’s financial statements] As part of the strategies to extend and diversify the range of textile products, in 2012 the Company entered the velvet segment through the acquisition from Redaelli Velluti S.r.l. “in liquidazione e concordato preventivo” of certain tangible and intangible assets; these included the historic brands “Redaelli Velluti” (or “Redaelli 1893”), “Niedieck” and “Christoph Andreae”, the historical archives, specific machinery of interest for the production of velvet fabrics and the totalitarian share of the German company Girmes International G.m.b.h. (commercial company) and the Czechoslovakian company Sametex Spol s r.o. (production company). At the time of acquisition, both companies were in serious economic and financial difficulty, to the extent that it was difficult to actually pursue the company business. In FY 2013, these subsidiaries were restructured to allow normal business to resume. Specifically with reference to the subsidiary Sametex, at the start of the year, the Court of Usti Nad Labem approved the restructuring plan submitted by the parent company, which was thereafter implemented in February 2013. By resolution issued in April by the Czechoslovakian court, the subsidiary Sametex was released from insolvency proceedings. And with notary deed dated December 2013, the merger by acquisition took place of the subsidiary Finvel S.r.l., purchased late 2012 and specialised in the marketing of warped velvet for furnishing and clothing, by Marzotto S.p.A., with retroactive accounting and tax effect as at 01 January 2013.

Other operations

Marzotto S.p.A. Company financial statements

As part of a strategic Group choice, on 24 February 2014, Marzotto S.p.A. sold its 50% stake in Filivivi S.r.l. In accordance with IFRS 5, the sale specified is classed as non-current asset held for sale, with the consequent separate statement in the financial statements of the parent company.

At first booking, equity investments are valued in application of IAS 27 (consolidated and separate financial statements), IAS 39 (Financial instruments: recognition and measurement) and IFRS 13 (Fair value measurement), suitably supported by an appraisal commissioned of a third party independent professional. Equity investments are valued in continuity and application of IAS 36 (Impairment of assets), on which basis the Company verifies to see if there is any indication of permanent loss of value by the assets. If these indications exist, an estimate is prepared of the value that can be recovered on the asset, i.e. the greater of the fair value of an asset or cash generating unit, less the costs of sale, and its use value. The increases shown under Equity investments in subsidiaries mainly refer:  Euro 15 thousand to the payment on capital account into the subsidiary Le Cotonerie S.r.l.;  Euro 8 thousand to the establishment of Marzotto Textiles Czech Republic s.r.o.;  Euro 700 thousand to the waiver of receivables due from the subsidiary Sametex Spol s.r.o. The reductions recorded under Equity investments in subsidiaries refer:  Euro 40 thousand to the merger of Finvel S.r.l. into Marzotto S.p.A. implemented by notary deed dated 09 December 2013 and with retroactive accounting and tax effect as at 01 January 2013;  Euro 11,899 thousand to the write-down of the equity investment in Linificio S.r.l. During the year, it was considered appropriate to bring the book value of the equity investment into line with its shareholders’ equity. As concerns changes made to “Equity investments in affiliated companies”, we note that in view of the FY 2014 operation, on the one hand, the investment in Filivivi S.r.l. has been valued at its presumed realisation value, thereby applying impairment in the amount of Euro 7,015 thousand, and on the other, in accordance with the reference standard (IFRS 5), it has been reclassified under assets held for sale.

The item refers to deferred tax assets (prepaid taxes) due beyond the year. The change is also due for 5,948 k euro and 3,179 thousand euro respectively to provisions and utilizations for the year, and for 501 thousand euro to the adjustment of the final tax balance of income taxes and other changes. Taking into consideration the recent regulations on the unlimited carry forwards of tax losses, the forecast of the business performance and the participation in the domestic tax consolidation of the subsidiary Wizard S.r.l., the Administrators have decided to record the advance taxation in connection with the losses that may be carried forward. Deferred tax credits allocated against these temporary differences correspond to the proportion that can reasonably be recovered.

Trade receivables total Euro 56,608 thousand, net of the provision for doubtful debt of Euro 3,252 thousand (Euro 3,447 thousand at 31 December 2012). This provision has been calculated considering the historic data relating to losses on receivables and on the basis of estimated losses in connection with challenged receivables and/or past-due receivables. This item shows a net increase of Euro 6,310 thousand (+12.5%), mainly in connection with the growth seen in turnover during the last quarter of 2013 as compared with the same period of 2012. To complete our description, please note that as at the reporting date, the effect deriving from the transfer of receivables with without recourse clauses is Euro 16,813 thousand, slightly up on the transfer made in 2012 (Euro 15,912 thousand). We believe that the book value of the trade receivables reflects their fair value. 142

In particular, the Company uses the following instruments:  foreign currency loans;  forward sales and purchases in foreign currency;  foreign currency options at fixed exchange rates. These operations come under the scope of “cash flow hedges” insofar as they are stipulated to cover a risk of change in cash flows deriving both from an existing asset or liability and a future operation. As established by international accounting standards, the portion of the gain or loss relating to the measurement of such derivatives (mark to market) has been booked net of the tax effect, amongst the items of the statement of comprehensive income, as the effectiveness of the cover guaranteed by these financial instruments has been proven. The fair value reserve includes the fair value of said operations, net of the tax effect, which as at the reporting date comes to Euro -2,151 thousand. The gain or loss recorded under shareholders’ equity is booked to the income statement when the operation hedged affects it.

Staff termination indemnity reflects the indemnity calculated in accordance with current legislation, accrued by employees as at 31 December 2006 and which will be liquidated upon his leaving. Where specific conditions apply, it may be partially advanced to the employee during the course of his working life. The Staff termination indemnities, calculated according to the current law, is treated from an accounting point of view as a defined benefit and as such it is recalculated at the end of each period according to a statistic-actuarial criteria which takes into account also the effects of the financial actualization. This liability has been calculated according to the actuarial criteria of the “Unitary Credit Method” which “considers each working period as the source of one additional unit of right to the benefits and measures each unit separately to calculate the final obligation”. The following parameters are used: annual discounting rate 4.5%, annual inflation rate 2%. The booking of employee benefits is in accordance with IAS 19 for defined benefits plans; the company has decided to apply the amendments made by IAS 19 early, as from the financial statements as at 31 December 2012, with the consequent noting of changes in actuarial gains/losses amongst other items of the statement of comprehensive income, whilst financial gains/losses are noted on the income statement. According to Law no. 296/06, effective from 30 June 2007, the Staff termination indemnities accrued after 01 January 2007 must be paid in an appropriate treasury fund opened with INPS (National Institute for Social Protection) or, according to the instructions of the employee, to the selected fund. With these payments, the item for Staff Termination is no longer affected by provisions.

The agents’ severance pay provision has been allocated to cover potential liabilities from the termination of agency contracts. The reserve was adjusted to take into account foreseeable potential liabilities in connection with contracts existing at the end of the financial year. The legal risk fund is allocated to cover liabilities that may arise from litigation or other disputes. It includes an estimate of charges from litigation arising during the year and a review of the provisions for the estimate of cases which arose in previous years, updated based on the indications of our internal and external legal experts. The restructuring and relocation provisions are allocated mainly to offset planned charges and costs related to the industrial reorganisation plan of some production operations. The tax provisions includes accruals made to cover losses that may be incurred by the company in connection with tax liabilities. Among other provisions for risks and charges are included foreseeable risks following operations in relation to the company Aree Urbane S.r.l., in addition to expenses in reference to the legal action pertaining to the former Praia a Mare factory.

Praia a Mare

With reference to the Praia a Mare dispute, as mentioned in the Report on Operations, beginning in 1999, some former employees and heirs of former employees at the Praia a Mare plant filed a motion with the Attorney General through the Court of Paola, seeking criminal action against the persons in charge of the plant from the 1960s through 2004, allegedly for functional omissions that, because of work safety conditions there, would have been the cause of death and serious health problems to some employees. In November 2013, by agreement with ENI S.p.A., all financial claims lodged by natural persons involved in the criminal proceedings and all those of former workers or heirs of former workers who took civil action from 2006 to 2008 against the Company, claiming compensation for damages allegedly suffered following occupational sickness, were settled. Following an ordinance of the mayor of Praia a Mare in January 2007, Marzotto S.p.A. was supposed to begin characterization activities of the area outside the factory in Praia a Mare overlooking the sea: these activities have currently been suspended pending cautionary proceedings, despite the fact that the Company, to this end, renewed its request for release from seizure in November 2013.

Other payables to the Tax Authorities refer for Euro 4,781 thousand to the amount due to Equitalia Nord deriving from the litigation “dividend stripping” following the audit notice issued in December 1996 by the Inland Revenue Valdagno Office for alleged irregularities in the tax treatment of the 1990 acquisition of usage rights of shares; as of 31/12/2010 a provision for 16,240 k euro had been set aside. At the request of the Company, in October 2011 the request to pay in instalments was accepted and the payment was divided in 48 monthly instalments, the first of which was due at the end of October 2011. The Company has requested to the appropriate Authorities an amendment, because it considered wrong the criteria used to calculate the items “portion for arrears interests” and “portion collection compensation” included in the above repayment plan. By sentence no. 242/2012, the Milan Provincial Tax Commission declared that the “share of late payment interest” and the “part share of collection fees” for a total of Euro 808 thousand, was not due. The residual debt, recalculated by virtue of said sentence and still recorded as at the reporting date, was recalculated on the basis of that due following the benefits assigned by Law no. 147 of 27 December 2013, Art. 1 (2014 Stability Law) and thereafter paid on 28 January 2014.

The net balance of extraordinary management shows expenses for Euro 19,500 thousand, which are juxtaposed with Euro -2,080 thousand in 2012. In detail, the provisions made for extraordinary charges on the business plan, for Euro 275 thousand, relate to costs for the reorganisation and increased efficiency of production departments, as well as to charges connected with decommissioned plants and areas. The allocation/use of the legal risk fund includes legal charges and expenses relating to current lawsuits expected to be incurred in the forthcoming years, as well as uses made during the year. Dividend Stripping charges includes the write-down of the receivable due from Valentino Fashion Group S.p.A., deriving from the Dividend Stripping dispute and in application of the agreement stipulated during the 2005 spin-off of the clothing BU. A transaction made by the parties in January 2014 means that this receivable has been completely written-down as at the reporting date.

Events after the date of these financial statements

Please note that as part of the strategic choices made by the Group, on 02 January 2014, Marzotto S.p.A. acquired 50% of the Lithuanian company Uab Lietvilna, the dying and reconditioning business unit in Piovene Rocchette (VI) and a 50% stake in the share capital of the newly-established Tintoria di Verrone S.r.l., from the joint venture company Filivivi S.r.l. By notary deed dated 24 February 2014, Marzotto S.p.A. sold its stake in Filivivi S.r.l., operating in the wool yarns segment, equal to 50% of the share capital, to Fraver S.p.A., which now holds the entire capital. As concerns this year’s economic trend, initial forecasts on data for the first half of 2014 in the Textile-Fashion segment suggest a reversal of trend (+2.1%), also for companies involved upstream in the chain (+0.4%). The domestic demand is also expected to be positive, with growth rates of +1.4%. As concerns short-term expectations monitored by sector studies, most operators are not expecting any major changes in the market situation and are basically looking at stability in the recession context seen in 2013. Within this context, your company has recorded an 11% increase in turnover during the first two months of 2014 as compared with the same period of 2013, going from Euro 20.3 million to 22.5 million. There are no other significant events to report that could affect the financial statements and their information.
