DIRECTORS’ REPORT General considerations
The Group
2014 value of production (revenue) rose by 8.5% over the previous year, mainly thanks to the contribution of the styling activities, limited series of luxury cars, prototypes and the industrial design segment.
The rise in turnover in higher profitability segments and the sale of intellectual property rights to certain past concepts have enabled the Group to strongly improve its overall profitability. Indeed, both its EBITDA and EBIT became positive in 2014.
Net financial expense fell from €5.8 million in 2013 to €4.7 million, mainly due to a decrease in unrealised losses (€5.2 million compared to €6.5 million in 2013) arising on the measurement of the amounts due to the lending institutions at amortised cost.
The 2014 loss came to €1.3 million compared to a loss of €10.4 million for 2013 (which was also affected by the loss on the sale of the subsidiary Pininfarina Maroc Sas in December 2013).
Equity decreased mainly due to the loss for the year, from €29.4 million to €27.9 million. Net financial debt rose from €36.4 million at 31 December 2013 to €44.8 million at the reporting date. This was due to the parent’s recognition of unrealised losses during the year, which increased the amounts due to the lending institutions, and the advances paid for a tax dispute which terminated in the Group’s favour in 2015.
Bank loans and borrowings (principal) decreased from €119.3 million at the end of 2013 to €104.8 million at the reporting date.
The workforce numbered 677 at the reporting date (31 December 2013: 779, -13%).
Pininfarina S.p.A.
The 2014 key events of Pininfarina S.p.A. may be summarised as follows:
With respect to compliance with the Rescheduling Agreement between Pininfarina S.p.A. and the
lending institutions, the parent complied with the consolidated EBTDA and net financial debt
covenants in 2014. Indeed, its actual figures are considerably better than the reference parameters.
In December 2013, the parent was notified of orders for payment of tax and decisions to impose
penalties for an overall amount of €11.4 million. The orders referred to the signing of the
Rescheduling Agreement in Lugano (Switzerland) and the alleged failure to pay the related
registration tax. The parent filed appeals against the Orders and paid the assessed taxes and
interest totalling €5.6 million in advance. On 8 January 2015, the tax authorities cancelled the
above-mentioned orders as part of an internal review procedure with the related discontinuance of
the dispute, which was formally terminated on 20 January 2015.
No further progress has been made with respect to the VAT dispute originated in 2006 which, after
two levels of judgements, is pending before the Supreme Court of Cassation since Spring 2011.

Research
Research for 2014 mainly continued on the basis of the projects launched in previous years and always focused on improving its staff’s skills in technologically advanced solutions in terms of the use of innovative materials and integration of systems/services in the electrical vehicle sector. Research activities were worth approximately €0.7 million. Pininfarina S.p.A.
In October 2011, the parent launched a redundancy programme due to discontinuation of production activities covering 127 people. On 2 December 2011, upon conclusion of negotiations with the trade unions and the Piedmont regional authorities, the parent signed an agreement, which was formalised in a special report at the Piedmont regional office on 19 December 2011. The key arrangements were the resort to the government-sponsored lay-off scheme up to 30 April 2012 and, subsequently, application for an extraordinary 24-month government-sponsored lay-off scheme due to partial discontinuation of activities. During the 24-month period, the parent would make excess personnel redundant, firstly on a non-opposition basis and then, at the end of the 24-month period, on a legal basis. Therefore, upon conclusion of the various government-sponsored lay-off schemes, the parent made redundant on a legal basis the personnel who had not been made redundant on a non-opposition basis.
Another two redundancy programmes were launched in 2014 (one in May and one in November), involving a total of 13 resources.
In 2014, there were no deaths or accidents at work causing serious or very serious injuries to registered employees, nor was the parent found liable for occupational diseases contracted by employees or former employees or mobbing. On the other hand, the parent reached out-of-court agreements covering remuneration issues with employees or former employees for financial and physiological damage (e.g., personal injuries, moral damage, hedonic damage, etc.).
With reference to investments in safety in the workplace and the environment, the parent pays utmost attention to the continuous upgrading and/or improvement of operating layouts and machinery/equipment in line with relevant legislation. Expected investments for 2015 amount to roughly €1,100,000.
11
Further to the sale agreement (31 December 2009) for the Grugliasco facility, an environmental audit was carried out in 2011 that found that the hydrocarbons parameter in one small area exceeded the legal limit. The parent immediately commenced the reclamation procedures provided for by the environmental legislation. The authorities approved the characterisation plan (2012). The parent filed the risk analysis for the area involved in Summer 2012, showing the acceptability/absence of risk. A dispute commenced with the Grugliasco local authorities during their approval of the risk analysis, as they requested that the analysis be extended to the entire facility, which they erroneously believed to be “abandoned”. The parent appealed to the Piedmont regional administrative court against the request of the local authorities. With its ruling no. 382/2014, the regional administrative court rejected the appeal citing an unconvincing reason. Therefore, the parent filed an appeal with the Italian council of state against the ruling. On 18 June 2014, it filed a motion for urgency with the president of section V of the council of state in order to request that a date for the hearing for the merit be fixed. The date of the hearing is still pending.
The parent’s waste disposal and recycling environmental policies are available on its website.
Moreover, Pininfarina S.p.A. has a 2004 UNI EN ISO 14001-certifed environmental management system. A notified body checked the system’s continued compliance in the Italian facilities during 2014, finding it compliant.
2014 performance by business segment
Operations
This segment mainly involves the sale of car spare parts, expense and revenue relating to central functions and other transactions with third parties, including the lease of a business unit for the production of electric cars for the car sharing service of the Paris Municipality. It recognised value of production of €6.6 million (€9.1 million in 2013; -27.5%), accounting for 7.6% of consolidated value of production (11% in 2013). The decrease is mainly due to the fall in business lease income. This segment’s EBIT was a negative €9.1 million, compared to a negative €5.8 million in 2013. Services
This segment, comprising the design, industrial design and engineering businesses, recognised value of production of €80 million (€70.7 million in 2013; +13.1%), making up 92.4% of the consolidated figure (89% in 2013). Segment EBIT amounted to €13 million, a sharp increase from the €2.4 million operating profit for 2013.
The main activities carried out in Italy by the services segment in 2014 were:
Design
The longstanding collaboration with Ferrari for series and customised car projects continued.
Specifically, in relation to series cars, the group carried out an exterior design project for a car that
will be launched in 2016 throughout 2014 and activities are continuing in 2015.
Following the great success met by the Pininfarina Sergio concept car unveiled at the 2013 Geneva
international motor show, an important development activity for the production of “limited edition”
special cars was carried out. The presentation of the California T car at the 2014 Geneva
international motor show and the Compasso d’Oro ADI international award won by
Ferrari/Pininfarina for the F12 sedan launched at the 2012 Geneva international motor show testify
to the ongoing and successful union between Ferrari and Pininfarina.
The group assisted an important longstanding customer with the class B-A exterior/interior modelling
for a car that will be produced shortly.
Another important achievement is the new partnership with a leading European manufacturer for the
interior and exterior design of a class B car. The Group also carried out the styling of three projects
12
for another important premium European company. Development of one of the projects is continuing
in 215.
Styling for longstanding customers in the Chinese market continued. In particular, the completion of
the entire design of a SUV for a leading car manufacturer is worth mentioning. The car premiered at
the 2014 Guangzhou international motor show. The Group also began to work with a Taiwanese
market leader for the exterior and interior styling of a mid-range sedan.
With regard to the Japanese market, the Group completed an interior research and styling project
for high-range car of a major international car manufacturer and the car was launched at the 2014
Paris international motor show.
Furthermore, the Group carried out special interior activities for a leading Japanese company, a
global leader in the production of electronic materials with a branch in Germany, in order to show its
technology in the automotive industry.
Styling development for various automotive projects for an Indian company continued, in addition to
the awarding of an extensive study into the interior and exterior design of a lorry cab.
The Cambiano concept car, which was presented at the 2012 Geneva international motor show,
won the Compasso d’Oro honourable mention in the ADI Design Index 2014 and the “Prize of Prizes
for Innovation” awarded by Minister Stefania Giannini.
On 7 February 2014, during the Frankfurt trade fair on environmental protection, the German Design
Council awarded a special mention in the Transportation and Public Space category as part of the
German Design Award 2014 to the BMW Pininfarina Gran Lusso Coupé, which was presented at
the 2013 Villa d’Este competition of elegance.
In the non-automotive means of transport business, the Group commenced the exterior design of an
agricultural vehicle family for a major European company. Again in the transportation design sector,
the new Eurostar e320 train was rolled out, of which Pininfarina designed the interiors and external
livery. The Ansaldobreda regional train, which grabbed the headlines due to an agreement for the
production of various units, was also designed by Pininfarina.
Industrial design
The key events for 2014 are as follows:
In January, the presentation in Dubai of the iconic project for the first prize of the “Dubai Tour” first
cycling race and, in Geneve, of the “Sergio” chronograph, the fifth project of the partnership
commenced in 2009; in March, the attendance at the “Living Design Fair” in Seoul with the “Cortile

presentation of the “Lagrange 12” project, developed in partnership with the Building Group. For the
first time in Italy, the parent collaborated in the development of the interior design of a luxury
residential complex. Again in May, in Moscow, the presentation of the OLA 25 project to a very
important market with a celebratory event at the Vetoshnyl art centre near Red Square.
In June, at the Caselle airport, the presentation of “Guido Gobino by Pininfarina” tasting point
located at the centre of the departures area of the “Sandro Pertini” airport, where it will remain for
some years; again in June, at the parent’s offices, the presentation of the “4Ever Pininfarina
Cambiano” innovative writing instrument, born of the collaboration with the Italian company Napkin.
It is an everlasting pen that allows to write indefinitely with no ink and no refill and is meeting with a
great interest from reviewers and a promising success from the e-commerce sector. In the same
month, the presentation of an event at Cusani Palace in Milan during the “Milan fashion week” for
13

projects developed in Piedmont and Valle d’Aosta selected by the ADI Design Permanent
Observatory.
In November, in London, the presentation of the limited edition “Chivas 18 by Pinifarina Chapter 2
ice press”, an exclusive press that will be produced for one hundred of the most prestigious bars in
the world and used to make ice droplets with an aerodynamic form designed in the Pininfarina wind
tunnel. Again in November, in Paris, “4Ever Pininfarina Cambiano” was awarded the “Stylo de
l’année” prize by the “Le Stylographe” magazine for its best design and innovation. As mentioned
above, this writing instrument is having a considerable commercial success, overachieving any
expectations.
According to the 2014 report on project entrepreneurship, Pininfarina Extra gained five positions
from 10th to 5th place in the top 100 architecture and design companies operating in Italy.
Lastly, in December, at the “Art Basel” design exhibition in Miami, the presentation of two additional
projects in Brazil, this time in the Santa Caterina state. These interior design and exterior
architecture projects are called “Yacht House” (two twin towers, which will become Brazil’s highest
residential building) and “Vitra” (residential and commercial building). Both real estate projects will
be carried out by the local developer Pasqualotto, in the Balenario Camboriu costal area.
Engineering
The engineering activities’ consolidation and intensification process with the main customers (BMW,
FIAT Group and Mahindra) continued at a fast pace during 2014, also thanks to the satisfaction
expressed by customers during the project performance.
The Group also laid the foundations for new important development projects with Ferrari and the
FIAT Group.
Engineering activities carried out as part of German programmes and the experience gained with
the development of one-off cars and mini-series have enabled the Group to expand its partnerships
with its long-lasting customers.
The Group also continued to carry out significant activities in collaboration with its German facilities,
as these are necessary for performing new activities for the German market.
Wind tunnel services rocketed during the year, not only terms of activities but also thanks to the
acquisition of a diversified top level customer portfolio, represented by leading international
manufacturers.

Events after the reporting date
Tax litigation - Registration tax on 2008 deeds
On 24 December 2013, the parent was notified of 14 orders for payment of tax and decisions to
impose penalties (“Orders”), each relating to a pro rata “financial liability” recognised by Pininfarina
S.p.A. with almost all lending institutions involved in the Rescheduling Agreement signed in Lugano
(Switzerland) on 31 December 2008. In addition to the request for payment of the allegedly due
registration tax and related interest, each Order imposed a sanction amounting to 120% of the
assessed tax. The overall amount requested was €11.4 million. The parent appealed against the
Orders on 5 February 2014 (paying the assessed taxes plus interest for an overall amount of €5.6
million) to the local tax court.
On 8 January 2015, the tax authorities cancelled the Orders issued in 2013 as part of an internal
review procedure and the appeal pending before the Turin local tax court was thus terminated due
to discontinuance of the dispute on 20 January 2015.
As a result, the parent is now waiting for the tax authorities to repay the amount paid in advance in
2014.
Loan to the ultimate parent for tax litigation – Registration tax on 2008 and 2009 deeds
On 20 December 2013, the tax authorities notified Pincar S.r.l., the parent of Pininfarina S.p.A., of 13 orders for payment of taxes and decisions to impose penalties (“Orders”) for a total amount of €1,922,094.23, including interest accrued up to the Order issue date. With such Orders, the tax authorities alleged that the ultimate parent failed to pay the registration tax on certain agreements signed by Pincar and the lending institutions in Lugano (Switzerland) on 31 December 2008. The ultimate parent appealed against the Orders on 30 January 2014. Under the Rescheduling Agreement, Pininfarina agreed to directly pay or reimburse “any and all costs, taxes and related legal costs incurred by the lending institutions in connection with the drafting, negotiation, signing, execution and implementation of the financial documentation”. Based on this obligation and in order to avoid any additional outlays, the Board of Directors of Pininfarina S.p.A. resolved to grant a loan of €964,000.00 to the ultimate parent, which did not have the funds necessary to make the advance payment required by the law for appeals. The loan accrues annual interest at market rates and has a term of ten years. It can be used only for the tax purposes mentioned above and bears an acceleration clause in certain circumstances.
On 30 May 2014, the tax authorities notified Pincar S.r.l. of 14 orders for payment of taxes and decisions to impose penalties (“Orders”), for a total amount of €1,217,250.40, including interest accrued up to the Order issue date. With such Orders, the tax authorities alleged that the ultimate parent failed to pay the registration tax on certain agreements signed by Pincar and the lending institutions in Lugano (Switzerland) on 19 June and 23 December 2009. The ultimate parent appealed against the Orders on 17 July 2014. Again based on the relevant obligations, the board of directors of Pininfarina S.p.A. approved a loan of €603,000 to the ultimate parent to make the advance payment required by the law for appeals. The loan has the same terms as the previous one.
On 8 January and 13 January 2015, the tax authorities cancelled the Orders issued to Pincar S.r.l. in
2013 and 2014 as part of an internal review procedure and the appeal pending before the Turin local
tax court was thus terminated due to discontinuance of the dispute on 20 January 2015.
As a result, the ultimate parent is now waiting for the tax authorities to repay the amounts paid in
advance in order to repay the two loans to Pininfarina S.p.A..
There are no other significant events that occurred after the reporting date.

Financial performance and financial position of the Pininfarina Group
Financial performance
Revenue rose by €15.1 million to €84.2 million from €69.1 million in 2013. The change in finished goods and work in progress became a negative €2.3 million (positive €3.3 million in the previous year). Other revenue and income decreased to €4.7 million from €7.4 million in the previous year and mainly comprise the business lease income for the Bairo Canavese facility, which fell following the signing of a new three-year agreement.
2014 consolidated value of production rose 8.5% to €86.6 million from €79.8 million in 2013. The increase is substantially due to larger volumes of engineering and design services provided in Italy. A breakdown of revenue by business segment is set on page 54. 2014 net gains on the sale of non-current assets totalled €0.7 million (sale of a historic car and two company cars) compared to substantially nil in 2013.
Operating expense, including changes in inventory, came to €32.3 million (€34.8 million in 2013; - 7.2%).
Value added rose by €10 million to €55 million from €45 million in the previous year.
Labour cost increased to €47.9 million (€47.5million in 2013; +0.8%).
EBITDA is a very positive €7 million, compared to the €2.6 million gross operating loss for 2013. The improvement is mainly due to the parent.
Amortisation and depreciation amounted to €3.3 million with a decrease of €0.1 million (€3.4 million for 2013). Additions to/utilisation of provisions and impairment losses came to a positive €0.3 million (compared to a positive €2.6 million in 2013). Specifically, additions were €0.2 million (€0.5 million for 2013) and utilisation €0.5 million (€3.2 million for 2013). No impairment losses were recognised in 2014 (€0.1 million in 2013).
As a result, EBIT was a positive €3.9 million (operating loss of €3.3 million in 2013).
Net financial expense fell from €5.8 million for 2013 to €4.7 million, mainly due to a decrease in unrealised losses relating to the signing of the current Rescheduling Agreement. Thanks to the Agreement, the Group recognised a gain of €44.8 million on the extinguishment of financial liabilities on 1 May 2012.
The loss before taxes came to €0.8 million for 2014, compared to €9.1 million for the previous year.
Income taxes amounted to €0.5 million (€0.1 million for 2013).
Further to the sale of the investment in the subsidiary Pininfarina Maroc SAS on 30 December 2013, the
Group reclassified its results for 2013 to the specific caption “Profit (loss) from discontinued operations”
pursuant to IFRS 5. The 2013 figure was a loss of €1.2 million.
The loss for 2014 came to €1.3 million compared to €10.4 million for 2013.

Financial position
Net capital requirements at 31 December 2014 increased by €6.9 million on the previous year end, due to a reduction in net non-current assets, the larger working capital requirement and a decrease in post-employment benefits.
Specifically:
- net non-current assets totalled €63.8 million (down by €2.3 million on 31 December 2013), comprising a decrease of €0.1 million in intangible assets and a reduction of €2.2 million in property, plant and equipment and equity investments;
- working capital rose by €7.3 million to €14.2 million from €6.9 million at 31 December 2013;
- post-employment benefits decreased to €5.3 million from €7.1 million at the previous year end, following the departure of 87 people from Pininfarina S.p.A. as a result of the termination of the redundancy programme due to discontinuation of production activities.
Capital requirements were funded by:
- a €1.5 million decrease in equity, which went from €29.4 million at 31 December 2013 to €27.9 million at 31 December 2014. The decrease is mainly attributable to the loss for the year;
- the increase in net financial debt, which rose to €44.8 million from €36.4 million at 31 December 2013. The worsening is mainly due to the unrealised loss for the year that increased the carrying amount of the parent’s debt (€5.2 million) and the advances paid by the parent for a tax dispute (€5.6 million) which was cancelled as part of an internal review procedure by the tax authorities. The parent expects to recover the advances in the short term.

Net financial debt
Net financial debt worsened by €8.4 million from €36.4 million at 31 December 2013 to €44.8 million at 31 December 2014.
The worsening is mainly due to the unrealised loss for the year that increased the carrying amount
of the parent’s debt (€5.2 million) and the advances paid by the parent for a tax dispute (€5.6 million)
which was cancelled as part of an internal review procedure by the tax authorities. The parent
expects to recover the advances in the short term.

(€’000)
The “Net financial debt” set out above is presented in accordance with the format recommended by the Consob in Communication DEM no. 6064293 of 28 July 2006, implementing CESR (now ESMA) recommendation no. 05-04b. Because the purpose of this table is to show “Net financial debt”, assets are shown with a minus sign and liabilities with a plus sign. On the contrary, in the “Net financial debt” table provided on the previous page, assets are shown with a plus sign and liabilities with a minus sign. The reason for the difference between the amount of the “Net financial debt” on the previous page and on this page is that the latter does not include non-current loan assets. The total amount of these differences at the relevant reporting dates is shown below:

GOING CONCERN AND OUTLOOK FOR 2015
Going concern The 2014 figures show an improvement in the parent’s and Group’s operating profits and confirm the steady development achieved since 2009, when the debt was restructured for the first time. The parent has duly complied with the obligations provided for in the agreements with the lending institutions and has changed its business model, which now only envisages the provision of services, with constant focus on the containment of overheads. However, due to its reduced size, its stringent financial obligations arising from the agreements with the banks and the prolonged market crisis, the Group’s growth process has been slowed down. In the medium term, this may have a negative impact on the profits forecast in the 2011-2018 business plan, cash flows and equity. According to the outlook for 2015, it is unlikely that the Group will reach the 2015 EBITDA level required by the Rescheduling Agreement, while the covenant on the net financial position at 31 December 2015 does not pose a problem, nor does the Group’s ability to meet its financial obligations deriving from its agreements with the lending institutions. In the light of the above and in agreement with the ultimate parent, Pincar S.r.l., and the lending institutions, the Board of Directors is working on different assumptions in order to definitively secure the group, by finding the resources necessary for its growth and stabilising its cash flows with new business and commercial opportunities in the strategic sectors in which it operates. Considering all that discussed above and evaluating medium-term uncertainties, the Board of Directors reasonably expects that the Group and the parent are nonetheless able to continue as going concerns in the foreseeable future and continued to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis. Outlook for 2015 Consolidated value of production for 2015 is expected to be in line with the 2014 figure and the EBIT is forecast to be negative. Net financial debt at the end of 2015 is expected to worsen compared to 31 December 2014, due principally to net working capital trends and the accumulated unrealised losses resulting from the measurement of financial liabilities at amortised cost.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements GENERAL INFORMATION Foreword The core business of the Pininfarina Group (the “Group”) is based on the establishment of comprehensive collaborative relationships with carmakers. Operating as a global partner enables it to work with customers through the entire process of developing new products, including design, planning, development, industrialisation and manufacturing, or to provide support separately during any one of these phases with the utmost flexibility. Pininfarina S.p.A., the Group’s parent, is listed on the Italian Stock Exchange. Its registered office is in Via Bruno Buozzi 6, Turin. Market investors own 22.66% of its share capital, with the remaining 77.34% held by the following shareholders:
• Pincar S.r.l. 76.06%. The shares held by Pincar S.r.l. are charged with a senior pledge, without voting rights, in favour of the parent’s lending institutions;
• Segi S.r.l. 0.60%, parent of Pincar S.r.l.;
• Seglap S.s. 0.63%;
• treasury shares held by Pininfarina S.p.A. 0.05%. A list of the group companies, with their complete name and address, is provided later on. The consolidated financial statements are presented in Euros, the functional and presentation currency of the parent, where most of the activities and consolidated revenue are concentrated, and its main subsidiaries. All amounts are presented in Euros, unless stated otherwise. The Board of Directors approved the publication of these draft consolidated financial statements on 19 March 2015. The consolidated financial statements are audited by KPMG S.p.A.. Basis of presentation In accordance with IAS 1 - Presentation of Financial Statements, the consolidated financial statements formats are the same as those of the parent. They include the following schedules:
• statement of financial position, in which current and non-current assets and liabilities are classified separately;
• income statement and statement of comprehensive income, shown as two separate schedules in which costs are classified by nature;
• statement of cash flows, presented in accordance with the indirect method, as allowed by IAS 7 - Statement of Cash Flows;
• statement of changes in equity. Moreover, as required by Consob resolution no. 15519 of 28 July 2006, the Group presents the following information in separate schedules:
• net financial debt, with a breakdown of the main components and balances with related parties, is provided on page 21 of the directors’ report;
• the effects of non-recurring events or transactions, i.e., those transactions or events that are not repeated frequently in the normal course of business (pages 76 and 77).
35
related party transactions are not presented in separate schedules because they are listed as separate items in the statement of financial position, shown on pages 28 and 29.
Basis of preparation These consolidated financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis, which the directors deemed appropriate. References should be made to the “Going concern” and “Outlook for 2015” sections of the directors’ report for further details. These consolidated financial statements at 31 December 2014 comply with the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and endorsed by the European Union. They are also consistent with the regulations enacted to implement article 9 of Legislative decree no. 38/2005. The term IFRS includes the International Financial Reporting Standards, the International Accounting Standards (“IAS”) and all interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”), previously called the Standing Interpretations Committee (“SIC”), endorsed by the European Commission as of the date of the Board of Directors’ meeting convened to approve the draft financial statements and listed in the applicable regulations published by the European Union as of the above-mentioned date. These consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with the general principle of historical cost, except for those items that, pursuant to the IFRS, shall be measured at fair value, as explained in the “Accounting policies” section. The accounting policies adopted to prepare these consolidated financial statements at 31 December 2014 are the same as those used in 2013, except as noted in the following section. Standards, amendments and interpretations applicable from 1 January 2014 The Group has applied the following new standards and amendments starting from 1 January 2014:
- IFRS 10 – Consolidated financial statements - IFRS 11 – Joint arrangements - IFRS 12 – Disclosure of interests in other entities - Revised IAS 27 – Separate financial statements - Revised IAS 28 – Investments in associates and joint ventures
The main new requirements introduced by these standards are as follows: i. IFRS 10 – Consolidated financial statements replaces SIC-12 Consolidation - Special purpose entities and parts of IAS 27 - Consolidated and separate financial statements. The new standard differs from the existing standards as it identifies the concept of control as the basis for consolidation of an entity in the parent’s consolidated financial statements. An investor controls an investee if and only if the investor has all of the following elements: a) power over the investee, i.e., the investor has existing rights that give it the ability to direct the relevant activities (the activities that significantly affect the investee’s returns) through voting rights and/or contractual agreements; b) exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee (dividends, tax benefits, etc.); c) the ability to use its power over the investee to affect the amount of the investor’s returns. ii. IFRS 11 – Joint arrangements establishes that two or more parties have joint control if decisions about the relevant activities require the unanimous consent of the parties sharing control. There are two types of joint arrangements:
36
• a joint venture (JV) is a joint arrangement whereby the parties have rights to the net assets of the arrangement. It is recognised using the equity method;
• a joint arrangement (JO) is an arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the assets, and obligations for the liabilities, relating to the arrangement. The assets/revenue to which the party has rights and the liabilities/expense for which it has obligations are consolidated.
Following issue of this standard, IAS 28 - Investments in associates and joint ventures (amended in 2011) defines the requirements for application of the equity method to investments in these entities. The Group has also applied the following starting from 1 January 2014: • Amended IAS 32 – Presentation of financial instruments • Amended IAS 36 – Impairment of assets Application of these new standards and amendments has not affected the Group’s preparation of these consolidated financial statements.
New standards published but not yet adopted
Listed below are the new standards or amendments to existing standards applicable to annual periods beginning after 1 January 2014 that the Group has not adopted early in these consolidated financial statements. They will become applicable only after being endorsed by the EU. IFRS 9 - Financial instruments: Published in July 2014, it supersedes IAS 39 - Financial instruments: recognition and measurement. IFRS 9 introduces new requirements for the classification and measurement of financial instruments, including a new calculation model for impairment losses on financial assets and new general requirements for hedge accounting. Moreover, it contains recognition and derecognition requirements for financial instruments that are in line with the currently applicable IAS 39. Once endorsed by the EU, IFRS 9 will be applicable to annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018. Early adoption is allowed. The Group is assessing the potential effects of the application of IFRS 9 on its consolidated financial statements. IFRS 15 - Revenue from contracts with customers. This standard provides general comprehensive guidance to establish if, when and to what extent an entity shall recognise revenue. It replaces the recognition requirements set out in IAS 18 - Revenue, IAS 11 - Contract work in progress and IFRIC 13 - Customer loyalty programmes. IFRS 15 will be applicable to annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2017. Early adoption is allowed. The Group is assessing the potential effects of the application of IFRS 15 on its consolidated financial statements The following new standards or amendments are not expected to produce significant effects on the Group’s consolidated financial statements.
• IFRS 14 - Regulatory deferral accounts.
• Agriculture: Bearer plants (amendments to IAS 16 and IAS 41)
• Accounting for acquisitions of interests in joint operations (amendments to IFRS 11).
• Clarification of acceptable methods of depreciation and amortisation (amendments to IAS 16 and IAS 38).
• Defined benefit plans: employee contributions (amendments to IAS 19).
• Annual improvements to IFRS 2010-2012 Cycle.
• Annual improvements to IFRS 2011-2013 Cycle.
37
ACCOUNTING POLICIES Consolidated financial statements The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of all subsidiaries from the date the Group acquires control until such control ceases to exist. Joint ventures (if any) and associates are measured using the equity method. Intragroup expenses, revenue, receivables, payables, gains and losses are eliminated in the consolidation process. When necessary, the accounting policies of subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures are amended to make them consistent with those of the parent. (a) Subsidiaries and business combinations A list of the companies consolidated line by line is provided below:
The reporting date of the subsidiaries is the same as that of the parent, Pininfarina S.p.A..
(b) Acquisition/sale of investments subsequent to the acquisition of control
Acquisitions and sales of investments subsequent to the acquisition of control that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as owner transactions.
In the case of acquisitions, the difference between the consideration paid and the pro rata interest in the carrying amount of the net assets acquired is recognised in equity. In the case of sales, the resulting gain or loss is also recognised directly in equity.
If the Group loses control or significant influence, the remaining non-controlling interest is remeasured at fair value and any positive or negative difference between its carrying amount and fair value is recognised in profit or loss.

(d) Other companies
Investments in other companies that are available-for-sale financial assets are measured at fair value, if feasible, and any resulting gains or losses are recognised in equity until the investments are sold. At that point, fair value gains or losses accumulated in equity are reclassified to the income statement for the reporting period.
If the investments are not listed on a regulated market and their fair value cannot be reliably determined, they are measured at cost, adjusted for any impairment losses, which cannot be reversed.
Translation of foreign currency captions
(a) Presentation currency and translation of financial statements denominated in currencies other than the Euro
The Group’s presentation currency is the Euro.
The table below lists the exchange rates used to translate financial statements denominated in functional currencies different from the presentation currency:
(b) Foreign currency assets, liabilities and transactions
Transactions carried out in currencies other than the Euro are initially translated at the exchange rate in force on the date of the transaction.
At the reporting date, monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated into Euros at the closing rate. All resulting exchange rate gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss, except for those stemming from foreign currency loans that hedge investments in foreign operations. Any such gains or losses, and the related tax effects, are recognised directly in equity. When the equity investment is sold, the accumulated translation differences are reclassified to profit or loss.
Non-monetary items that are carried at historical cost are translated into Euros at the exchange rate in force when the underlying transaction was initially recognised. Non-monetary items that are carried at fair value are translated into Euros at the exchange rate in force on the measurement date.
None of the group companies operate in a hyperinflationary economy.
Investment property
Property held to earn rentals or for capital appreciation are classified as investment property and measured at purchase or production cost, including any related costs and net of accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.
Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment comprise items used in production, including those held under finance lease. They are recognised at purchase or production cost, net of accumulated depreciation and impairment losses (if any), except for land, which is not depreciated.

Moroccan dirham - MAD - - 11.25 11.17
Chinese renminbi (yuan) - CNY 7.54 8.18 8.35 8.16

The cost includes all purchase-related outlays, i.e., those incurred to bring the asset to the place and conditions necessary for its operation.
Depreciation of buildings and other generic assets is calculated on a straight-line basis, in order to allocate their residual carrying amount over their estimated useful life. Depreciation of specific equipment related to certain cars manufactured on behalf of third parties is based on production volumes, in accordance with paragraphs 50 and 60 of IAS 16 - Property, plant and equipment.
The depreciation rates applied to each asset category are set out below:
Land is recognised separately and is not depreciated but tested for impairment whenever the Group identifies indicators that the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount. Subsequent costs are capitalised only if it is probable that they will generate future economic benefits and their amount can be determined reliably. Should a portion be replaced, its carrying amount is derecognised. Costs that do not meet these requirements are immediately recognised in profit or loss. The carrying amount and useful life of property, plant and equipment are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted, if necessary, prospectively pursuant to paragraphs from 32 to 38 of IAS 8 - Accounting policies, changes in accounting estimates and errors. Gains and losses on the sale, calculated as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and sales price, are recognised in profit or loss. In these notes, impairment losses mean the losses recognised to adjust the assets’ carrying amounts to their recoverable amount.
Government grants
Government grants are recognised at fair value only if the Group is reasonably certain that they will be disbursed and has met all conditions for their collection. They are recognised as revenue in proportion to the costs incurred. As required by paragraph 17 of IAS 20 - Accounting for government grants and disclosure of government assistance, grants related to assets are recognised as deferred income and reclassified to profit or loss in line with the depreciation pattern of the related asset.
Intangible assets
Intangible assets are identifiable non-monetary assets without physical substance. They are controlled by the Group and generate measurable future economic benefits. They are recognised at cost, calculated using the same criteria as for property, plant and equipment.
(a) Goodwill

Goodwill is the excess of the purchase price with respect to the acquisition-date fair value of the net assets acquired. It is not amortised, but is tested for impairment at least annually. Impairment testing allocates goodwill to the related cash-generating units, which are the smallest identifiable groups of assets that generate cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets. If the carrying amount of the net assets of a cash-generating unit, including allocated goodwill, exceeds their recoverable amount, the identified impairment loss is firstly allocated to goodwill, up to its entire carrying amount. Any remaining impairment loss is then allocated pro rata to the carrying amount of the assets making up the cash-generating unit. Impairment losses recognised on goodwill cannot be reversed. Any negative goodwill is recognised as income in profit or loss.
(b) Software and other licences
Software and other similar licences are recognised as assets at cost, including that incur to use them. They are amortised over their estimated useful life, which ranges between three and five years. Costs incurred to maintain software programs are immediately recognised in profit or loss. Those incur to develop identifiable software that is controlled by the Group, which are very likely to produce future economic benefits exceeding the costs incurred, if any, are recognised as intangible assets and amortised over their useful life, which does not exceed three years.
(c) Research and development expenditure
Research expenditure, as defined by IAS 38 - Intangible assets, is expensed when incurred in accordance with IAS 38.54. Development expenditure is recognised as an intangible asset only if it can be measured reliably and if it is probable that the related project is likely to be successful, with reference to its technical feasibility, the availability of financial resources to complete it and its commercial penetration. Development expenditure that does not meet these requirements is expensed when incurred. This expense is never reclassified as an asset in subsequent years, if the requirements for its recognition as an asset is met after it is recognised in profit or loss. Development expenditure is amortised from when the related output is marketed over the estimated period during which it will generate economic benefits, which can never exceed five years. It is tested for impairment when the Group identifies indicators that its carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount.The Group carries out development projects on behalf of third parties as part of both styling, engineering and car manufacturing contracts and solely designing and engineering contracts. Development expenditure incurred as part of styling and engineering sold to third parties is classified as a contractual cost under IAS 11 - Construction contracts and, accordingly, no intangible asset is recognised. Development expenditure related to styling, engineering and manufacturing contracts which give the Group a total or partial guarantee that the investment made on behalf of a customer will be recovered is classified as a financial asset under IFRIC 4 - Determining whether an arrangement contains a lease (see subsequent note), or, when the conditions for the application of this interpretation are not met, in the carrying amount of the specific equipment under property, plant and equipment.
(d) Other intangible assets
Other intangible assets separately acquired are recognised at cost. Those acquired as a result of a business combination are recognised at their acquisition-date fair value. After initial recognition, those with a finite useful life are subsequently measured at cost, adjusted for accumulated amortisation and impairment losses, whereas those with an indefinite useful life are measured at cost but not amortised. They are tested for impairment at least annually. Where possible, any changes are made prospectively pursuant to paragraphs from 32 to 38 of IAS 8 - Accounting policies, changes in accounting estimates and errors.
Impairment of non-financial assets
Intangible assets with an indefinite useful life, including goodwill, are tested for impairment at least annually and whenever there are indicators of impairment. Property, plant and equipment, investment property and intangible assets with a finite useful life are tested for impairment only if the Group identifies indicators that their carrying amount may exceed their recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s (or cash-generating unit’s) fair value less costs to sell and its value in use, which is calculated as the present value of the future cash flows expected to be
41
derived from an asset, to be based on reasonable and supportable assumptions that represent management’s best estimate of the future economic conditions. The discount rate used reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the future cash flow estimates have not been adjusted. This rate for the Group is the weighted average cost of capital (“WACC”).
When the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, the Group recognises the difference as an impairment loss in profit or loss. If the reasons for the impairment loss no longer exist in future years, the impairment loss is reversed to the extent of the pre-impairment carrying amount, less amortisation/depreciation. Impairment losses on goodwill can never be reversed. Cash-generating units are identified in line with the Group’s organisational structure and business, by grouping those assets that are able to generate cash inflows independently, as required by IAS 36 - Impairment of assets; they are not larger than the two operating segments identified under IFRS 8 - Operating segments: 1) styling and engineering; 2) operations. In assessing the recoverable amount for impairment testing purposes, the Group makes reference to the fair value of owned real estate complexes, measured using the market valuations available at the Public Real Estate Registry Office and possibly appraisals prepared by independent experts.
Assets held for sale
Non-current assets, together with current and non-current assets included in disposal groups, whose carrying amount will be recovered through their sale rather than continuing use, are classified as held for sale. Assets held for sale and directly-associable liabilities are classified in the statement of financial position separately from the Group’s other assets and liabilities, in accordance with paragraphs from 38 to 40 of IFRS 5 - Non-current assets held for sale and discontinued operations. Assets held for sale are not amortised or depreciated and are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. Any difference between the carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell is recognised in profit or loss as an impairment loss. Any subsequent improvement in fair value less costs to sell is recognised as a reversal to the extent of the impairment losses previously recognised, including those recognised prior to the classification of the asset as held for sale.
Financial assets
Financial assets are recognised at the trade date, which is the date on which the Group assumes the obligation to acquire them.
In accordance with IAS 39 - Financial instruments: recognition and measurement, they are classified in the following four categories:
• financial assets at fair value through profit or loss;
• loans and receivables;
• held-to-maturity investments;
• available-for-sale financial assets. Financial assets are derecognised when the right to receive their cash flows ceases or is transferred or when the Group has substantially transferred all risks and rewards relating to the financial instrument, in addition to control thereover.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are not offset. They can be offset and the net balance is presented in the statement of financial position only when (i) the Group has a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and (ii) intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
(a) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
This category includes:
• financial assets mainly acquired to be sold in the short term (financial assets held for trading);
• financial assets designated in this category on initial recognition, if the relevant requirements are met;
• derivatives, excluding hedges.
42
They are measured at fair value with fair value gains or losses recognised in profit or loss. Financial instruments belonging to this category are classified as current assets if they are held for trading, or if they are expected to be sold within twelve months of the reporting date. The current or non-current classification depends on the group’s strategic policies about how long it intends to hold the asset and the asset’s actual marketability.
(b) Loans and receivables
This category includes non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. It mainly comprises trade receivables, including those recognised in accordance with IFRIC 4 - Determining whether an arrangement contains a lease. Loans and receivables are classified as current assets, except for those due after more than twelve months of the reporting date, which are classified as non-current assets. They are measured at amortised cost, using the effective interest method. Should the Group identify objective evidence of impairment, their carrying amount is adjusted to the present value of their estimated cash flows, discounted using their original effective interest rate. Objective evidence that a financial asset is impaired includes: (i) significant financial difficulty of the issuer or obligor, (ii) it becoming probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation; (iii) adverse changes in the payment status of borrowers including delayed payments. Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss. If the reason for the impairment loss no longer exists in future years, the impairment loss is reversed to the extent of the pre-impairment carrying amount measured at amortised cost.
(c) Held-to-maturity investments
Held-to-maturity investments are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturity that the Group has the positive intention and ability to hold to maturity.
They are initially recognised at acquisition cost, including any transaction costs. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost, using the effective interest method, adjusted for any impairment losses. Should the Group identify evidence of impairment, it applies the same criteria described above for loans and receivables.
(d) Available-for-sale financial assets
These are non-derivative financial assets that are designated either as available for sale or cannot be classified in any of the other previous categories. Available-for-sale financial assets are measured at fair value, with fair value gains or losses recognised in equity and reclassified to profit or loss only when the financial asset is actually sold or when the accumulated fair value losses are deemed to no longer be recoverable. If the fair value cannot be measured reliably, these instruments are measured at cost, adjusted for impairment losses. Impairment losses recognised on equity instruments cannot be reversed. Fair value losses that are deemed to be irrecoverable, for example due to a prolonged decline in the fair value of the financial assets, are reclassified from equity to profit or loss.
Derivatives
The Group has no derivatives in place, either for trading or hedging purposes.
Contract work in progress
The Group recognises styling and engineering contracts in accordance with IAS 11 - Construction contracts. Contract costs are recognised as incurred. Contract revenue is recognised as follows:
• if the performance of the contract cannot be estimated reliably, revenue is recognised to the extent of the incurred costs that are deemed to be recoverable;
• if the performance of the contract can be estimated reliably and a contract profit is probable, revenue is recognised over the term of the contract on an accruals basis;
• conversely, if a contract loss is probable, the loss is calculated as the difference between contract revenue and costs and is recognised in its entirety when identified.
The Group allocates contract revenue and costs to each year using the percentage of completion method set out in paragraph 25 of IAS 11 - Construction contracts. The percentage of completion is determined as the ratio of total costs incurred at the reporting date to the estimated total costs to
43
complete the contract. Progress billings are included in contract work in progress to the extent of the costs incurred. If they exceed the stage of completion, the balance is recognised as a liability under the caption “Deferred income” classified in “Trade payables - third parties”. If the stage of completion exceeds progress billings, the difference is recognised as an asset under contract work in progress.
Financial expense
In accordance with IAS 23 - Borrowing costs, borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale are capitalised as part of the cost of that asset. Otherwise, they are recognised in profit or loss on an accruals basis.
Inventories
Inventories are recognised at the lower of cost and net realisable value, which is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs necessary to make the sale. Under IAS 2 - Inventories, the cost is calculated using the FIFO (“first-in first-out”) method. The cost of finished goods and semi-finished products includes design, raw materials and direct labour costs, other direct costs and other indirect costs that can be directly allocated to the production activity based on normal production capacity. This cost does not include borrowing costs. Based on the assets’ expected future use and net realisable value, materials, finished goods, spare parts and other obsolete or slow-moving items are written down through an allowance account. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.
Trade receivables and other assets
Trade receivables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, net of impairment losses due to uncollectibility. Impairment losses are recognised if there is objective evidence that the Group is unable to collect all the amounts due at the due dates agreed with the customer. The impairment loss, calculated as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and present value of future collections, discounted using the effective interest rate, is recognised in profit or loss.
Cash and cash equivalents
Net cash and cash equivalents include cash-in-hand, on-demand bank deposits, other investments that may be sold within three months and bank overdrafts, which are recognised in the relevant caption under current liabilities. In accordance with paragraph 8 of IAS 7 - Statement of cash flows, the cash flow for the year is equal to the change in net cash and cash equivalents.
Share capital
Ordinary shares are classified in equity. There are no other share categories. Costs directly related to the issue of ordinary shares or options are recognised in equity. If a Group company acquires the parent’s shares, or if the parent itself repurchases its own shares within the limits established by article 2357 of the Italian Civil Code, the consideration paid, net of any transaction cost, is deducted from equity attributable to the owners of the parent until when the treasury shares are cancelled, possibly assigned to employees or resold. The parent’s share capital comprises 30,166,652 ordinary shares with a unit nominal amount of €1. The parent’s shares held by the ultimate parent, Pincar S.r.l., (22,945,566 shares equal to 76.06% of the share capital) are charged with a senior pledge, without voting rights, in favour of the parent’s lending institutions.
Loan and lease liabilities
Loan and lease liabilities are initially recognised at fair value, equivalent to the cash obtained, net of any transaction costs. In accordance with IAS 39 - Financial instruments: recognition and measurement, after initial recognition, they are measured at amortised cost. The difference between the amount collected, net of any transaction costs, and the amount repayable (principal and interest) is recognised in profit or loss on an accruals basis using the effective interest method. The portion of loan and lease liabilities due within one year is recognised under current liabilities. When the Group has an unconditional right to defer payment, the portion due after one year is recognised under non-current liabilities. In accordance with paragraph 74 of IAS 1 - Presentation of Financial Statements,
44
if, at the reporting date, the Group has not complied with the loan and lease contractual provisions and the residual liability becomes fully due on demand (acceleration clause), the entire amount is reclassified to current liabilities, even when the Group has reached an agreement with its creditors for repayment at the original maturity before the publication date of the financial statements. This is because, at the reporting date, the Group does not have an unconditional right to defer payment of the liability to after twelve months.
Employee benefits
(a) Pension plans
The Pininfarina Group’s employees participate in defined contribution plans and defined benefit plans. The latter are a portion of the Italian post-employment benefits provided for by article 2120 of the Italian Civil Code and, therefore, do not comprise any plan assets. Defined contribution plans are formalised plans for post-employment benefits that require that the Group pay contributions to an insurance company or a pension fund. By doing this, the Group does not have any other legal or constructive obligation to pay additional contributions should the fund not have sufficient resources to pay all benefits accrued by employees over their current and past service periods when the benefits become due. These contributions paid in exchange for the service rendered by employees are recognised as an expense on an accruals basis. This category includes the payments made to the Cometa and Previp funds. Under defined benefit plans, the Group has a future obligation to pay the pension benefit to the employee upon termination of employment. The amount of the benefit depends on different factors, such as age, seniority and remuneration. The Group, therefore, takes on actuarial and investment risks arising from the plan. The Group calculates the present value of the plan liability and the service cost using the projected unit credit method, based on the actuarial calculation that uses demographic (mortality rate and turnover) and financial (discount rate and future salary and benefit increases) variables. The post-employment benefits of the Group’s Italian employees are classified as follows pursuant to IAS 19 - Employee Benefits:
• defined benefit plan for the portion vested prior to enactment of Finance Act (Law no. 296 of 27 December 2006) and related implementing decrees;
• defined contribution plan for the portion accrued thereafter. At the annual and half year reporting dates, the Group calculates the benefits using an actuarial valuation. The accumulated actuarial losses and gains arising from changes in estimates are recognised in profit or loss. Any curtailment or extinguishment of a plan liability is immediately recognised in profit or loss.
(b) Incentives, bonuses and profit-participation plans
The Group recognises a cost and a liability for its obligations for incentives, bonuses and profit-participation plans. The liability is recognised when the Group has a legal or constructive obligation and it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
(c) Termination benefits
The Group recognises a liability and personnel expense when it is demonstrably committed to terminating the employment of an employee or group of employees before the normal retirement date or provide termination benefits as a result of an offer made in order to encourage voluntary redundancy. The Group is demonstrably committed to a termination when, and only when, it has a detailed formal plan for the termination and is without realistic possibility of withdrawal.
(d) Share-based payments
The Group has not granted benefits in the form of shares (e.g., stock options) to its employees which would trigger application of IFRS 2 - Share-based payment.
Provisions for risks and charges, contingent liabilities
The provisions for risks and charges include specific costs and losses whose existence is certain or probable but whose amount or due date is unknown at the reporting date. Provisions are recognised when all the following conditions are met: (i) the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event; (ii) it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying
45
economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation; (iii) a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation or transfer it to third parties at the reporting date. Where the effect of the time value of money is material and the payment dates can be estimated reliably, the provision is discounted to present value. The Group recognises expected restructuring costs when a restructuring plan is formalised only if it has raised a valid expectation in those affected that it will carry out the restructuring. The liability accrued in the provisions for risks and charges are regularly adjusted for changes in estimated costs, expected timing and discount rates. Changes in estimates of provisions are recognised in the same income statement caption as the related addition. Disclosures about contingent liabilities, i.e.: (i) a possible obligation that arises from past events and whose existence will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Group; (ii) a present obligation that arises from past events, whose amount cannot be measured reliably or whose settlement will not probably require an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits are provided in the notes.
Leases
(a) Finance leases
Under IAS 17 - Leases, a lease is classified as a finance lease if it transfers substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership from the lessor to the Group (lessee). They are accounted for as follows:
(a1) Leases where the Group is the lessee
The Group enters into these leases to fund its investment in property, plant and equipment, as defined earlier. The leased asset is recognised as an item of property, plant and equipment and depreciated over the shorter of its useful life and the lease term. At the commencement of the lease term, the asset is recognised at the lower of its fair value and the present value of the minimum lease payments determined at the inception of the lease. The financial liability to the lessor is recognised as described earlier for loan and lease liabilities.
(a2) Leases where the Group is the lessor
The Group becomes a lessor when it applies IFRIC 4 - Determining whether an arrangement contains a lease, relating to IAS 17 - Leases, to certain specific plant and machinery in connection with certain design, engineering and car manufacturing contracts. IFRIC 4 applies to those arrangements that do not have the legal form of a lease, but that give the Group’s counterparty the right to use certain assets in exchange for a series of payments. This right implies that the arrangement is or contains a lease. The requirements for the application of this interpretation are as follows:
• fulfilment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of a specific asset;
• the arrangement conveys a right to use the asset;
• it is possible to assess whether an arrangement contains a lease at the inception of the arrangement;
• it is possible to separate payments for the lease from other payments. Briefly, under IFRIC 4, it is possible to identify and separate the lease from an arrangement and recognise it in accordance with IAS 17 - Leases. In this case, the Group recognises a financial asset equal to the present value of the lease payments. The difference between future collections and their present value is the interest income which is recognised in profit or loss over the lease term at a constant periodic rate of return.
(b) Operating leases
When a lease does not meet the requirements to be classified as a finance lease, it is classified as an operating lease. Lease payments, net of incentives received from the lessor, are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Income taxes
(a) Current taxes
46
Current taxes are recognised by each group company on the basis of their estimated taxable profit using the tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date, taking into account any domestic tax consolidation arrangements, applicable exemptions and tax assets.
(b) Deferred taxes
Under IAS 12 - Income taxes, deferred taxes are calculated for all temporary differences between the assets’ and liabilities’ tax bases and carrying amounts, except in two cases: (i) goodwill arising from a business combination, (ii) the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction which is not a business combination and affects neither accounting profit nor taxable profit (tax loss). Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are respectively classified as non-current assets and liabilities. They are offset at individual company level if related to taxes that can be legally offset. The resulting balance, if positive, is recognised as a deferred tax asset and, if negative, as a deferred tax liability. Current and deferred taxes related to transactions directly affecting equity are recognised in equity. The Group recognises deferred tax assets to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the temporary difference can be utilised. The carrying amount of a deferred tax asset is reviewed at each reporting period date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow the benefit of part or all of that deferred tax asset to be utilised. Deferred taxes on undistributed profits of the group companies are recognised only if the company really intends to distribute such profits and, in any case, if there are no tax consolidation arrangements cancelling their taxation.
Revenue recognition
As required by IAS 18 - Revenue, revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable from the sale of goods and services, net of VAT, returns, discounts and intragroup transactions. It is recognised as follows:
(a) Sale of goods
Revenue is recognised when all the following conditions have been satisfied:
• the Group has transferred to the buyer the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods;
• the Group retains neither effective nor continuing managerial involvement over the goods sold;
• the amount of revenue can be measured reliably;
• it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group;
• the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably.
(b) Rendering of services
Revenue from services is recognised by reference to the stage of completion of the transaction when the services are rendered. Revenue is recognised when all the following conditions are satisfied:
• the amount of revenue can be measured reliably;
• it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group;
• the stage of completion of the transaction at the reporting date can be measured reliably;
• the costs incurred for the transaction and the costs to complete the transaction can be measured reliably.
Revenue from styling and engineering services on behalf of third parties are recognised based on the stage of completion.
(c) Interest, royalties and dividends
Revenue arising from the use by others of entity assets yielding interest, royalties and dividends is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the Group and the amount of the revenue can be measured reliably. Interest is recognised using the
47
effective interest method, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash flows through the expected life of the financial instrument. Royalties are recognised on an accruals basis in accordance with the substance of the relevant agreement. Dividends are recognised when the shareholder’s right to receive payment is established.
Dividend distribution
The Group recognises a liability for dividends to be distributed when the distribution has been approved by the shareholders.
Earnings or losses per share
Basic earnings or losses per share are calculated by dividing the profit or loss for the year attributable to the owners of the parent’s ordinary shares by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings or losses per share are derived by adjusting the weighted average number of outstanding shares for all potential ordinary shares with a dilutive effect.
Events after the reporting date
The events after the reporting date are those events, favourable and unfavourable, that occur between the reporting date (31 December for the Group) and the date when the financial statements are authorised for issue. Two types of events can be identified: (i) those that provide evidence of conditions that existed at the reporting date and (ii) those that are indicative of conditions that arose after the reporting date.
In accordance with IAS 10 - Events after the reporting period, in the first case (i) the Group adjusts the carrying amounts for the events that occurred after the reporting date and in the second case (ii) the Group does not adjust the carrying amounts, but discloses the events held significant in the notes.
Reference should be made to the directors’ report for further details.
Statement of cash flows
The statement of cash flows is presented in accordance with the indirect method allowed by IAS 7 - Statement of cash flows.
Repayment of loans and receivables recognised under IFRIC 4 - Determining whether an arrangement contains a lease, are recognised as cash flows from investing activities at the line “Repayment of loans and receivables - third parties”, in line with the definition of investment activities set out in IAS 7, with the Group’s financial position and net financial debt structures and in accordance with IAS 7.16-f.
ASSESSMENTS THAT AFFECT THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(a) Going concern
The going concern assumption is a key principle for the preparation of financial statements. When assessing whether the Group is able to continue as a going concern, the directors express their current opinion on the outcome of future events or circumstances which are, by their nature, uncertain. Any opinion about future events is based on information available when the opinion is expressed. Future events may contradict an opinion which, when it was expressed, was reasonable. Some of the elements that affect the opinion on the outcome of future events or circumstances include the size and complexity of an entity, the nature and circumstances of its business and its dependency on external factors.
(b) Additions to the provisions for risks and charges and contingent liabilities and contingent assets
Provisions are liabilities whose due date and amount are uncertain. The directors measure them based on the estimated costs to be incurred to extinguish the obligation at the reporting date.
48
Contingent liabilities and assets are presented in the financial statements in accordance with paragraphs 27 and 31, respectively, of IAS 37 - Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets.
A contingent liability is a possible obligation that arises from past events and whose existence will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Group, or a present obligation that arises from past events but is not recognised because it is not probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation or the amount of the obligation cannot be measured with sufficient reliability.
A contingent asset is a possible asset that arises from past events and whose existence will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Group.
Where necessary, the directors make their estimate with the assistance of their legal advisors and experts.
(c) Impairment
Investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures are tested for impairment by estimating their value in use, which is usually calculated as the Group’s share of the investee’s equity derived from the consolidated financial statements plus the expected operating cash flows and the cash flow arising from its sale, net of selling costs, if it is material and can be determined reliably.
Cash flows are forecast by directors based on reasonable and supportable assumptions that represent their best estimate of the future economic conditions.
The discount rate used reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the future cash flow estimates have not been adjusted.
Non-financial assets that are comprised in cash-generating units are tested for impairment on the basis of the expected future profits, whose estimate depends on a number of factors not wholly within the control of the Group.
Property is tested for impairment by comparing its carrying amount to its fair value, measured using the market valuations available at the Public Real Estate Registry Office and possibly appraisals prepared by independent experts engaged by the Board of Directors.
(d) Fair value measurement and hierarchy for financial instruments
Pursuant to IFRS 7 – Financial Instruments: Disclosures, the classification of financial instruments at fair value shall be based on the quality of the inputs used for measurement purposes. The IFRS 7 classification is based on the following fair value hierarchy:
• Level 1: fair value is determined based on prices quoted on an active market for identical assets or liabilities. This category includes financial assets classified as “held for trading”, which are mainly government bonds and high-rating bonds.
• Level 2: fair value is determined based on inputs that, while different from the quoted prices used in Level 1, can be observed either directly or indirectly. These consolidated financial statements do not present any financial instruments of this type.
• Level 3: fair value is determined based on valuation models, the input of which is not based on observable market data. These financial statements do not present any financial instruments of this type.
(e) Current and deferred taxes
Current taxes are calculated on the basis of a best estimate of the tax expense for the year, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured on the basis of the parent’s and Group’s expectations on how the carrying amount of their assets and liabilities will be recovered/extinguished, subject to the probability that they will earn future taxable profit. Deferred
49
tax assets and liabilities are measured on the basis of tax rates that are expected to be applicable when the assets will be realised or the liabilities will be extinguished, therefore based on tax rates or changes to tax laws that have been enacted by the reporting date.
(f) Italian post-employment benefits
Following the supplementary pension reform, the portion of Italian post-employment benefits vested before 1 January 2007 is considered to be a defined benefit under IAS 19 - Employee Benefits. Under defined benefit plans, the amount of the benefit due to the employee upon termination of employment depends on different factors, such as age, seniority and remuneration. Despite being prudently estimated and based on internal historical figures, these estimated parameters may be subject to change.
The directors estimated the post-employment benefit obligation assisted by an independent expert included in the Italian Actuary Register.
TYPES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FAIR VALUE HIERARCHY The financial instruments held by the Group include:
• cash and cash equivalents;
• financial assets held for trading;
• non-current loan liabilities and finance lease liabilities;
• trade receivables and payables and loans and receivables - related parties. Financial assets held for trading mainly consist of government bonds, bonds and other financial assets, mostly traded in regulated markets, with a low risk profile, held because they are readily saleable and provide principal protection. The Group has no derivatives in place, either for speculative or cash flow/fair value hedging purposes.
As required by IFRS 7, the table below lists the types of financial instruments included in the consolidated financial statements and shows the measurement criteria adopted:
In addition, net cash and cash equivalents are measured at fair value which usually equals their nominal amount. Pursuant to IFRS 7 – Financial Instruments: Disclosures, the classification of financial instruments at fair value shall be based on the quality of the inputs used for measurement purposes. The IFRS 7 classification is based on the following fair value hierarchy:
• Level 1: fair value is determined based on prices quoted on an active market for identical assets or liabilities. This category includes financial assets classified as “held for trading”, which are mainly government bonds and high-rating bonds.

FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT Financial risk factors, as identified in IFRS 7 – Financial Instruments: Disclosures, are described below:
• Market risk: the risk that the fair value or the future cash flows of a financial instrument could fluctuate as a result of changes in market prices. Market risk includes the following other types of risk: currency risk, interest rate risk and price risk.
• Currency risk: the risk that the fair value or the future cash flows of a financial instrument could fluctuate as a result of changes in exchange rates.
• Interest rate risk: the risk that the fair value or the future cash flows of a financial instrument could fluctuate as a result of changes in interest rates.
• Price risk: the risk that the fair value or the future cash flows of a financial instrument could fluctuate as a result of changes in market prices (other than changes covered by the interest rate and currency risks), irrespective as to whether such fluctuations are determined by factors specific to the financial instrument or its issuer or by factors that affect all similar market-traded financial instruments.
• Credit risk: the risk that one of the parties causes the other party to incur a financial loss by failing to fulfil an obligation.
• Liquidity risk: the risk that an entity may be unable to fulfil obligations associated with financial liabilities.
(a) Currency risk The Group entered into most of its financial instruments in Euros, which is its functional and presentation currency. Although it operates in an international environment, it has a limited exposure to fluctuations in the exchange rates of the following currencies against the Euro: US dollar (USD), and Chinese Yuan (CNY). (b) Interest rate risk The Rescheduling Agreement signed by Pininfarina S.p.A. with the lending institutions (BRE, Intesa Sanpaolo, BNL, Italease, Unicredit, BP, MPS, UBI Leasing, Mediocredito Italiano S.p.A. – formerly Leasint, MPS Leasing, Selmabipiemme, Unicredit Leasing, BNP Lease and Release), effective from 1 May 2012 to 31 December 2018, defined a fixed contractual interest rate of 0.25% per annum, based on a year of 360 days, applicable to the rescheduled facilities, leases and operating lines over the entire term of the Agreement. As a result, the Group is only marginally exposed to the interest rate risk on a loan from Banca Nazionale del Lavoro (formerly Fortis Bank), which is not included in the above-mentioned Rescheduling Agreement and accrues interest at the six-month Euribor, plus a spread of 0.9%, on the outstanding balance of €7 million at 31 December 2014. Moreover, it is exposed in connection with a loan provided by Volksbank Region Leonberg to Pininfarina Deutschland GmbH, which accrues interest at the three-month Euribor plus a spread of 0.55% on the outstanding balance of €0.3 million. Interest on the short-term operating lines is computed at a fixed rate ranging between 5.26% and 6.75%, with regular accrual and payment in arrears at the end of each utilisation period. A breakdown of the Group’s financial debt by fixed and variable interest rates at 31 December 2014 is as follows:
51
Due to the new structure of the interest rates on medium to long-term financing that, at variable rates, accounts for 8% of total indebtedness, the Group has not performed a sensitivity analysis. (c) Price risk Because the Group exited the manufacturing sector and primarily operates within the Eurozone, its exposure to the risk of fluctuations in commodity prices is currently immaterial. Current assets held for trading, which totalled €16.4 million at 31 December 2014, are measured at fair value. As they mainly consist of government bonds, bonds and other financial assets held because they are readily saleable and provide principal protection, most of which are traded in regulated markets and have low risk profiles and high ratings, the price risk presented by these assets is deemed to be limited. A breakdown of these assets by nature is provided below:
(d) Credit risk
Styling and engineering contracts, which are the Group’s primary revenue source, are agreed with
highly rated customers located both inside and outside the European Union. In order to minimise the
credit risk from non-EU customers, the Group seeks to align both progress billings and their
collection with the relevant contract’s stage of completion. There is no significant credit
concentration with individual customers.
The Group did not carry out transactions involving the derecognition of financial assets, such as the factoring of trade receivables without recourse.
Financial transactions are carried out exclusively with financial institutions whose reliability is beyond
question. (e) Liquidity risk The effects of the Rescheduling Agreement, effective from 1 May 2012 to 31 December 2018, are summarised as follows:
- it rescheduled term financing and finance leases totalling €182.5 million and operating lines amounting to €18 million to 2018;

- it led to the adoption of a fixed interest rate of 0.25% per annum, based on a year of 360 days, for term financing, finance leases and rescheduled operating lines;
- it established mandatory and voluntary early repayments upon the occurrence of specific
events, including the sale of certain assets and the generation of cash flows in excess of those forecast in the 2011-2018 business plan.
The cash flows of the above-mentioned Agreement were determined based on the figures forecast in the 2011-2018 business plan, which was prepared by the Board of Directors with the support of Roland Berger and was approved on 20 April 2012. Consequently, over the medium to long term, the liquidity risk is directly correlated to the achievement of the business plan targets. A breakdown of the contractual amount of the Group’s financial debt is set out below.
Following the lending institutions’ waiver of their rights arising from the Group’s failure to comply with
the 2013 EBITDA covenant on 2 April 2014, liabilities have been reclassified in line with the due
dates provided for by the Rescheduling Agreement. The Group holds net cash and cash equivalents and assets held for trading totalling €40.8 million, including €7.4 million which is restricted (of which, €5 million up until 26 November 2016 and €2.4 million up until 31 January 2015), as explained in notes 7 and 12. Consequently, the Group is not exposed to liquidity risk in the foreseeable future.
(f) Risk of default and debt covenants This risk refers to the possibility that, in addition to the Rescheduling Agreement, effective as of 1 May 2012, the Group’s leases and financing agreements could contain acceleration clauses triggered by certain events, thereby creating a liquidity risk. The Rescheduling Agreement, effective as of 1 May 2012, introduced the following financial covenants:
Compliance with the covenants is checked on each Verification Date, based on the most recent
annual consolidated financial statements.
As a result of the tax disputes involving the parent and the ultimate parent, Pincar S.r.l. (see related
comments in the Events after the reporting date section of the 2013 annual financial report and in
the interim financial report at 30 June 2014), the parent had to pay €7.2 million in advance to the tax
authorities (paying €5.6 million directly and the rest through the loans to the ultimate parent, Pincar
S.r.l.), pending the outcome of the litigation.
Following the agreements reached with the lending institutions, the above amount will be added to
the figures provided for by the current Rescheduling Agreement and shown in the above table for
the purposes of the calculation of the annual consolidated net financial debt starting from 2014 and
until the tax litigation procedure is completed.
The 2014 financial covenants have been complied with.

SEGMENT REPORTING
Operating segments are identified in accordance with paragraphs 5 to 10 of IFRS 8 – Operating
segments. In the Operations business segment, the operating segments coincide with a series of
activities mainly involving the supply of spare parts for cars manufactured by Pininfarina S.p.A., the
lease of certain businesses for the production of electric cars for the car sharing service of the Paris
Municipality and support functions.
Financial income and expense and income taxes are not allocated to the reporting segments
because management makes the relevant decisions on an aggregate segment basis. Intra-segment
transactions are carried out at market conditions. In accordance with IFRS 8.4, the Group presents
segment reporting in its consolidated financial statements only.
The Group’s business segments are not affected by seasonal factors. Segment reporting for the years ended 31 December 2014 and 2013 is set out below. Amounts are in thousands of Euros.
Reference should be made to the directors’ report for an analysis of the operating segments. A breakdown of assets and liabilities by operating segment is set out below:

The remaining goodwill of €1,043,495, which is the Group’s only intangible asset with an indefinite useful life, originates from the consolidation of Pininfarina Extra S.r.l.. Within the Pininfarina Group, the Pininfarina Extra subgroup, which is comprised of Pininfarina Extra S.r.l., Pininfarina of America Corp. and the associate Goodmind S.r.l., engages in styling activities that are not related to the automotive industry. Consequently, it constitutes a separate cash generating unit. The impairment test of the Pininfarina Extra subgroup’s net assets did not identify any impairment loss.
As detailed below, the test has been carried out using the Unlevered Discounted Cash Flow model:
• the subgroup’s operating cash flows from third parties have been discounted using a WACC rate of 8.58% (9.05% at the previous year end). The estimated future cash flows are those set out in the plans prepared by the directors based on reasonable and supportable assumptions that represent their best estimate of the future economic conditions;
• the Pininfarina Extra subgroup’s net financial debt with third parties and net assets have been deducted from the discounted cash flows; the resulting figure has been compared with the carrying amount of goodwill.
As required by IAS 36 - Impairment of assets, the current and prior year parameters used to calculate the WACC rate are set out below:
• segment beta: this shows the segment’s risk level and amounts to 1.8 (unchanged from the previous year end);
• Market Risk Premium (“MRP”): equal to 5.7%, this shows the difference between the expected return on a risky asset and risk-free asset (unchanged from the previous year end);
• Risk Free Rate (“RFR”): amounts to 4.5 (unchanged from the previous year end);
• cost of debt: amounts to 4 (6.5% at the previous year end). 4. Investments in associates Associates Goodmind S.r.l., incorporated in July 2012, provides communication services to companies and public sector entities. The Group’s share of its profit for the year is €8,208. The associate had four employees at the reporting date. 5. Equity investments in other companies Equity investments in other companies did not change from the previous year end and are as follows:
31.12.2014
Midi Plc 251,072
Idroenergia Soc. Cons. a.r.l. 516
Volksbank Region Leonberg 300
Unionfidi S.c.r.l.p.A. Turin 129
Equity investments in other companies 252,017

6. Loans and receivables Changes in loans and receivables (third and related parties) are set out below.
The non-current portion of loans and receivables includes the €964,000 and €603,000 loans provided by Pininfarina S.p.A. to the ultimate parent, Pincar S.r.l., to cover the costs arising from the tax assessment reports notified in December 2013 and May 2014. The remainder shows the €50,000 loan provided by Pininfarina Extra S.r.l. to the associate Goodmind S.r.l. to finance its activities. In January 2015, the tax authorities informed Pincar S.r.l. of the cancellation of the orders for payment as part of an internal review procedure. Accordingly, the ultimate parent immediately claimed the reimbursement of the advances paid in order to repay the loan it received from Pininfarina S.p.A.. Loans to group companies are granted at market interest rates. 7. Assets held for trading
Assets held for trading mainly consist of government bonds and highly rated bonds, which represent
temporary investments of liquid assets, most of which are not subject to restrictions and that are not
subject to a significant credit risk exposure. However, these investments do not meet all the
requirements for recognition as cash and cash equivalents.
These assets are measured at fair value, based on their market prices. Fair value gains or losses
are recognised in profit or loss under Financial income/expense. Management of the investment
portfolio is outsourced to high standing counterparties with a highly reliable market reputation.
The balance at 31 December 2014 includes a restricted investment of €2,402,940 to secure a surety
issued to De Tomaso Automobili S.p.A. to cover compensation obligations, as is customary in
transactions involving the sale of business units. The maximum guaranteed liability equals the sales
price. The surety expired on 30 January and was released on 4 March 2015. 8. Inventories
Raw materials mainly consist of various materials used for the production of cars and prototypes at
the Cambiano facility. Finished goods mainly consist of car spare parts manufactured by the Group,
which are sold to carmakers.

The table below shows a breakdown of inventories and the allowance for inventory write-down:
The allowance for inventory write-down (unchanged from 31 December 2013) reflects the risk of
obsolete and slow-moving items that arose during the phase out of production.
9. Contract work in progress Contract work in progress shows the balance of gross contract work in progress less progress payments and advances. The change for the year is due to the completion of certain styling and engineering contracts from customers inside and outside the European Union. 10. Trade receivables - related parties The following table shows trade receivables at 31 December 2014 and 2013:
The Group’s main counterparties are top carmakers with a high credit rating. Since there are no
insurance contracts on receivables, the Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk is equal to the
carrying amount of the receivables less the allowance for impairment. The Group did not factor any
receivables. Trade receivables are mostly denominated in Euros.

Changes in the allowance for impairment are set out below:
Utilisations mainly refer to loans and receivables that are no longer deemed recoverable. Other changes are due to a revised estimate of the allowance in relation to the size of the default risk of the overall trade receivables, prudently estimated by considering the age of the receivables and past losses. Other changes are also due to exchange rate differences of the Pininfarina Extra Group. 11. Other assets The following table shows other assets at 31 December 2014 and 2013:
The caption “Registration tax” shows the amount paid by the parent following the payment order notified at the end of December 2013 against which it filed an appeal. In January 2015, the tax authorities informed the parent of the cancellation of the orders for payment as part of an internal review procedure. Accordingly, the parent is waiting to receiving the reimbursement of the advances paid. The increase in VAT is mainly due to the invoices issued by the lease companies to the parent following payments made by it at 31 December 2013.
Grants for the Program II.3 “Più Sviluppo” project are due from the Piedmont Regional Authorities as
the first and second instalment of the forgivable loan for the “AMPERE” industrial research and

12. Cash and cash equivalents The table below shows a breakdown of this caption and a comparison with the previous year-end corresponding figures:
Short-term bank deposits include the parent’s restricted account of €5,000,000 in favour of Banca Intermobiliare to secure the surety of the same amount that the latter provided to Reale Mutua Assicurazione, which, in turn, issued a surety of €9,649,751 to the tax authorities securing the repayment of the 2012 VAT receivable to the parent. The surety expires on 26 November 2016. 13. Equity (a) Share capital

Loans and borrowings
Rescheduling Agreement
(a) Rescheduling Agreement
The Rescheduling Agreement (the “Agreement”) between Pininfarina S.p.A. and its lending
institutions became effective on 1 May 2012. Its effects are summarised below:
- the rescheduling of term financing and finance leases totalling €182.5 million and a portion of
the operating lines amounting to €18 million to 2018;
- the adoption of a fixed annual interest rate of 0.25% for the borrowings mentioned above.
The Agreement does not apply to the loan granted to Pininfarina S.p.A. by BNL (formerly Fortis Bank).
(b) Fair value of restructured debt
The fair value of the restructured debt was determined by discounting the cash flows from the
Rescheduling Agreement to their present value at a 6.5% rate, determined with the support of a
third-party financial advisor, as the sum of 1) the return on risk-free investments and 2) a credit
spread attributed to Pininfarina S.p.A..
65
The table below summarises the changes in loans and borrowings:
Following the lending institutions’ waiver of their rights arising from the Group’s failure to comply with
the 2013 EBITDA covenant on 2 April 2014, liabilities have been reclassified in line with the due
dates provided for by the Rescheduling Agreement. Other loans and borrowings include the amounts due to the lending institutions of Pininfarina S.p.A., parties to the Agreement, and to Banca Nazionale del Lavoro S.p.A. (formerly Fortis Bank), pursuant to the relevant loan and financing agreements.
A breakdown of the contractual cash flows by maturity is provided in paragraph (e) of the “Financial

Transactions with Banca Nazionale del Lavoro S.p.A., formerly Fortis Bank
On 25 June 2008, Pininfarina S.p.A. and Banca Nazionale del Lavoro S.p.A. (formerly Fortis Bank)
entered into an agreement (the “Fortis Agreement”) separate from the Rescheduling Agreement of
31 December 2008, aimed at defining a plan for the repayment of interest-bearing debt in half-yearly
instalments, the last one of which is due on 31 December 2015. This separate agreement is
independent of the new Rescheduling Agreement that became effective on 1 May 2012.
Further to the court orders served on Pininfarina S.p.A. on 28 March and 19 April 2008, Banca
Nazionale del Lavoro S.p.A. (formerly Fortis Bank) was granted court-ordered mortgages on the
buildings owned by the parent, which secure loans currently approximating €7 million that will be
settled on 31 December 2015.
Other information
The loan to Volksbank Region Leonberg (Geramany) decreased to €300,000 following a repayment made during the period and is due by Pininfarina Deutschland, which is the only subsidiary with non-current debt.
Consequently, the Group’s loans and borrowings are not subject to currency risk.
15. Post-employment benefits
Post-employment benefits shows the present value of the obligation to employees under article
2120 of the Italian Civil Code. Following the changes introduced to Italian laws five years ago,
benefits vested before 1 January 2007 are classified as defined benefit plans pursuant to IAS 19 -
Employee Benefits, while those accrued thereafter are classified as defined contribution plans.
Changes for the year are provided below:
Payments consist of post-employment benefits paid to former employees of the parent’s discontinued production operations. The business lease signed by the parent and a company of the Cecomp Group in 2011 expired on 31 December 2013. It was renewed with Bluecar Italy S.r.l., a company of the Bolloré Group. The agreement includes the transfer of 52 employment contracts and related post-employment benefits up until when the lease expires (31 December 2016).
31.12.2014 31.12.2013
Opening post-employment benefits 7,145,948 7,286,941
Interest cost recognised in profit or loss 158,364 214,128
Current service cost recognised in profit or loss 36,307 38,033

Payments (2,331,795) (390,814)
Closing post-employment benefits 5,346,940 7,145,948
67
The main assumptions underlying the actuarial calculation of the liability in the current and previous
years are set out below:
The adopted discount rate refers to the market yield of AA-rated Euro securities. Moreover, the sensitivity analysis carried out increasing/decreasing the base rate by 10% did not show significant changes with respect to the current post-employment benefit obligation. 16. Trade payables, other financial liabilities and other liabilities (a) Trade payables
The reporting-date balance comprises amounts that will be paid within twelve months of the reporting date.
Advances for contract work in progress include advances and deferred income of €2.5 million for progress billing exceeding the stage of completion of the styling and engineering contracts. The Group made the same reclassification to the balance at 31 December 2013 (€3.3 million).
Details of the balance with related parties is provided in the Other information section on page 75.

17. Provisions for risks and charges, contingent liabilities and litigation (a) Provisions for risks and charges Changes in provisions for risks and charges are set out below, with a comment on the main changes:
The provision for product warranty represents the best estimate of the Group’s contractual and legal
obligations with regard to costs entailed by warranties provided on certain components of the
vehicles it manufactured for a specific period, starting from the sale of the vehicles to end
customers. The above-mentioned estimate was determined based on the Group’s experience,
specific contractual terms and product specifications and defect data generated by the statistical
survey systems of the Group’s customers.
The restructuring provision is the best estimate of the related liability at the reporting date.
Utilisations include amounts paid to employees who left during the year following conclusion of the
2011 redundancy programme and other termination benefits.
Other provisions reflect the estimated liabilities that may arise from losses to complete styling and
engineering contracts, potential disputes with former employees and environmental risks. Additions,
utilisations and other changes mainly show the effects of the measurement of losses to complete
long-term contracts. (b) Contingent liabilities and litigation
Registration tax
On 24 December 2013, the parent was notified of 14 orders for payment of tax and decisions to
impose penalties (“Orders”), each relating to a pro rata “financial liability” recognised by Pininfarina
S.p.A. with almost all lending institutions involved in the Rescheduling Agreement signed in Lugano
(Switzerland) on 31 December 2008. In addition to the request for payment of the allegedly due
registration tax and related interest, each Order imposes a sanction amounting to 120% of the
assessed tax. The overall amount requested is €11.4 million.
Almost all the lending institutions received similar orders for payment, as they are jointly and
severally liable with the parent vis-a-vis the tax authorities.
As it was certain of its correct conduct, the parent appealed against the Orders on 5 February 2014
(paying the assessed taxes plus interest for an overall amount of €5.6 million).
In January 2015, the tax authorities informed Pininfarina S.p.A. of the cancellation of the orders for payment as part of an internal review procedure. Accordingly, the parent immediately claimed the reimbursement of the advances paid.
VAT
This dispute, which arose in 2007 regarding the allegation that VAT should have been levied on the
amounts invoiced in 2002 and 2003 by the parent to Peugeot Citroen Automobiles SA, is currently
pending before the Supreme Court of Cassation. There were no developments in this case as of the
approval date hereof.

18. Current and deferred taxes (a) Deferred taxes The table below provides a breakdown of deferred tax assets and liabilities:
The net deferred tax assets shown in the consolidated financial statements mainly refer to the German companies. They reflect the recoverable portion of the tax loss carryforwards, determined based on forecast future taxable profit and taking into account the agreement for the filing of a national consolidated tax return signed by the German companies. The increase for the year relates to Pininfarina of America Corp., which recognised deferred tax assets on non-deductible impairment losses recognised on loans and receivables. The Group has not recognised additional deferred tax assets as it does not expect to generate a taxable profit in the short to medium-term that would allow the full utilisation of the tax losses and deductible temporary differences. A breakdown of unrecognised deferred tax assets and liabilities and related comments are set out below:
“Offsettable” deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated for all differences between the assets’ and liabilities’ carrying amount and tax base in accordance with paragraph 74 of IAS 12 - Income taxes, which requires offsetting if the Group has a legally enforceable right to set off in the same tax jurisdiction. Deferred tax assets on tax loss carryforwards are calculated applying the relevant tax rate to the tax loss carryforwards shown in the annual tax return. The balance is mainly attributable to Pininfarina S.p.A., the Pininfarina Deutschland GmbH subgroup and the subsidiary Pininfarina Automotive Engineering Shanghai Co Ltd..

A breakdown of tax loss carryforwards and related deferred tax assets by geographical segment is set out below:
The Group has not recognised the deferred tax assets resulting from the above calculation as the generation of taxable profit in the short to medium-term enabling the full use of the tax losses and deductible temporary differences is not probable. (b) Current taxes Income taxes recognised in profit or loss are detailed below:
19. Revenue from sales and services
Sales refer mainly to revenue from sales of concept cars and related rights, spare parts and
equipment. Services show amounts invoiced for styling and engineering services.

STATUTORY AUDITORS’ REPORT
ON THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS AT AND FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2014
Dear shareholders,
The Board of Directors has presented the consolidated financial statements of the Pininfarina Group
as at and for the year ended 31 December 2014, comprising the statement of financial position,
income statement, statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity, statement of
cash flows and related notes.
These consolidated financial statements show equity of €27,887,551, including the loss of the year
of €1,262,883.
The consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2014 have been
prepared in accordance with the IFRS.
The consolidated financial statements have been made available to the Board of Statutory Auditors
within the legal terms, together with the separate financial statements and the directors’ report.
The latter adequately describes the financial position, financial performance and cash flows,
including at consolidation level, of Pininfarina S.p.A. and its subsidiaries during the year and after
the reporting date. It also provides a breakdown of business volumes by the main business segments
and the consolidated results.
The consolidation scope has been adequately defined. At 31 December 2014, it includes the parent,
five consolidated subsidiaries and one associate measured using the equity method.
Moreover, the subsidiary Matra Automobile Engineering SAS had already been deconsolidated in
2012 due to the immateriality of its net assets.
Based on their checks, the independent auditors, KPMG S.p.A., confirmed that carrying amounts in
the 2014 consolidated financial statements are consistent with the parent’s accounting records, the
subsidiaries’ financial statements and relevant information communicated by the latter.
The subsidiaries’ financial statements prepared by their relevant bodies and provided to the parent
for consolidation purposes were checked/audited by the individual companies’ relevant bodies
and/or parties, in accordance with local legislation. The independent auditors performed the
procedures necessary for the audit of the consolidated financial statements.
83
The checks of the Board of Statutory Auditors do not cover those financial statements, as provided
for by specific legal provisions (Consolidated Finance Act and article 41.3 of Legislative decree no.
127 of 9 April 1991).
KPMG S.p.A., as the independent auditors engaged for the audit of the Pininfarina Group’s
consolidated financial statements, issued their unqualified audit report today, in which they state
that, in their opinion, the consolidated financial statements of the Pininfarina Group as at and for the
year ended 31 December 2014 comply with the IFRS endorsed by the European Union and the
Italian regulations implementing article 9 of Legislative decree no. 38/05.
KPMG’s report includes the same emphasis of matter paragraph as that set out in the Board of
Statutory Auditors’ report on the separate financial statements, to which reference is made.
Based on our checks and procedures, we state that:
- the consolidation scope, consolidation policies and procedures comply with the IFRS
requirements. Accordingly, the structure of the consolidated financial statements is technically
correct and, as a whole, consistent with relevant legislation;
- our examination of the directors’ report did not identify any inconsistencies with the figures and
results presented in the consolidated financial statements;
- all information used for consolidation purposes relates to the entire reporting period, which is
the year ended 31 December 2014;
- the accounting policies are consistent with those used in the previous year, except where stated
otherwise.
Lastly the chairman and the manager in charge of financial reporting issued a statement pursuant to
article 81-ter of Consob regulation no. 11971/1999, as subsequently amended, and article 154-
bis.3/4 of the Consolidated Finance Act (Legislative decree no. 58/1998).
