DISTRIBUTION NETWORK
The Group markets its products through various distribution channels. From the perspective of the consumer,
the Group is present on the market through:
- the retail distribution channel, i.e. the direct distribution channel in which the Group relies on stores
managed either by third-parties or directly, the latter of which are referred to as Directly Operated
Stores (DOSs);
- the wholesale channel, i.e. the channel which makes use of intermediaries to sell to consumers, in which
case the Group’s customers are these intermediaries;
- the B2B channel, aimed at the direct sale of customized Moleskine products to businesses, institutions and
a variety of organizations by way of a combined direct and indirect model;
- the e-commerce channel, i.e. online product sales through our own websites.

Interim Report as of 30 September 2014
GROUP OPERATIONS
INTRODUCTION
With reference to the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the figures given in this report, together with
the associated remarks, are meant to give an overview of the Group's financial performance and standing, the
changes that occurred during the period under review, and any significant events that affected these results.
OPERATING CONDITIONS AND BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT
Moleskine is the brand through which the Group develops, distributes and sells a family of products for the
modern-day nomad: notebooks, portfolios, agendas, bags, writing tools and reading accessories dedicated
to the mobile individual, products that embody personal flair and sophistication in both the real and the
digital worlds.
Moleskine sells three lines of products and services:
i) paper collections (“Paper Collections”), such as notebooks, agendas, other home-office products, and gifts;
ii) writing, travelling and reading collections (“WTR Collections”), such as pens and pencils, bags, eyewear,
and reading lights; and
iii)digital products and services (“Digital”), such as templates, online tools and applications for smartphones
and tablets, a virtual Artist Marketplace, and our line of Evernote Smart Notebooks, as well as the creation
of a print-on-demand service through a partnership with Milk Books for the creation of photo books and
photo albums.
The Group distributes its products to 105 countries:
i) indirectly through a network of 73 distributors (i.e. the wholesale channel), which serve bookshops,
department stores, stationers, museums and other specialty stores (i.e. the retailers); and
ii) a) through a mixed direct and indirect model for the custom editions designed for our business customers
(i.e. the B2B channel); b) through our e-commerce site; and c) through a retail network of 30 single-brand
stores (12 in China, 1 in Singapore, 7 in Italy, 4 in the U.K., 2 in France, 1 in Germany and 3 in the U.S.).

Interim Report as of 30 September 2014
ACTIVITIES CARRIED OUT BY THE GROUP TO INCREASE BRAND RECOGNITION
During 2014, activities aimed at supporting brand recognition have continued along the main lines pursued
in 2013:
- Limited editions and special cult editions. Of particular note was the launch of the limited edition The
Simpsons backed by marketing efforts aimed at reaching new segments of our target market, namely fans of
this famous Fox television series, and at making full use of the potential of viral marketing. Marketing support
for new product launches also included campaigns for the B2B editions: Andy Warhol, Hermitage, Museum
Cinelli, Corso Como 10.
Other special editions include a notebook by the Brazilian street artist Speto for @instagrafite, Instagram’s
extraordinary gallery of street art. This notebook was presented for the first time at SXSW, America’s leading
music and film festival, with interactive conferences held in Austin, Texas, and is being used by students at
RUA, a street art training program in Sao Paulo, Brazil. Moleskine’s Instagrafite Custom Edition is available
exclusively through the Moleskine Shop.
A sostegno del posizionamento culturale della marca, prosegue la comunicazione di supporto per la divisione
Moleskine Publishing, con due nuove uscite: la monografia sul grande illustratore John Alcorn e la raccolta
di campagne per il non profit di Good50x70.
John Alcorn, Evolution by design
- Events. One of the most significant initiatives was the development of the partnerships with Fabrica (the
think tank of the Benetton Group), with the Italian Environmental Fund (FAI), with Politecnico di Milano, and
with a number of other partners for Fuorisalone in Milan. In 2014, a new format of in-store event was also
successfully tested in collaboration with an international community of artists through Urban Sketchers,
the leading network that brings together tens of thousands of designers, illustrators and architects around
the world, who love to meet in and around town and online to share the work they do. The format consists
in open-air sketch sessions connected with one of the brand’s original themes, that of the notebook as the
“original mobile device”. The artists’ performances are open to the public, and audience members can sign
up to play an active part. The work that results from the performance is then put on display in-store for the
weeks that follow and disseminated via media relations and the web/social channels.
10
Interim Report as of 30 September 2014
The media relations efforts of the communication agencies have also continued in order to tell the Moleskine
business story and the other great brand stories (e.g. the future of writing, the interaction of analog and digital
in creative professions, and the objects of the “analog cloud” that define our personality). Maria Sebregondi,
Executive Brand Equity Director for the Moleskine Group, spoke of these initiatives at the Future Concept
Lab in Sao Paulo, Brazil.
Other important events included an itinerant exhibition of the works of Project Detour, which was held in
Moleskine’s four London stores (in Covent Garden, Old Street, Harrods, and Canary Wharf) in conjunction with
one of the world’s most important design festivals. A prominent feature of the festival’s guidebook, the exhibit
brings traffic to the brand’s stores and increases their visibility. Detour is a rich archive of over 250 notebooks
of some of the last century’s greatest architects, photographers, writers, directors, designers and thinkers.

Interim Report as of 30 September 2014
- New product launches: Art Plus, Soft Cover journals, myCloud Bag Series, Evernote Business
Notebook, White Pens, the Journal app for Android, the Voyager notebook, and Livescribe. During the
first nine months of 2014, several new collections were launched for the public, including Art Plus, the Soft
Cover, Voyager and Livescribe journals, the myCloud bag series (in an extended range of colors), White Pens,
and the new colored pens in our Writing collection.
All of the marketing for these product launches (which targeted creative professionals, and visual artists –
designers, architects, graphic designers, etc. – in particular) underscores the brand’s cultural positioning and
its ties to our past heritage, but with a modern feel, in order to build a bridge between the avant-garde of the
past and today’s creative professions.

Interim Report as of 30 September 2014
EXPANSION OF BRAND DISTRIBUTION
In line with the strategy for augmenting brand distribution, the Group has increased the number of points
of sale served by the wholesale channel and has also intensified our presence and visibility within the top
retailers, while continuing to invest in trade marketing and visual merchandising through Ateliers and
other displays for a total of 176 installations worldwide as of September 30, 2014 (vs. 163 installations as
of June 30, 2014).
New installations include Ateliers at WHSmith Doha Ezdan Mall, Qatar; at Exclusive Book in Hydepark
Johannesburg and Sandton City, South Africa; at Lume Relox, Mexico; at two Staples flagship stores in the
U.S.; at the Gramedia bookstore in Bali, Indonesia; and 5 light ateliers in Ark bookstores in Norway. Our
presence has also been expanded with various other retailers, such as Feltrinelli and Mondadori in Italy
and Indigo in the U.S., and with the installation of new Atelier display areas at various points of sale of
the FNAC chain in France, at the Times NewsLink bookstore in the Singapore airport, and at Mag Nation
Emporium in Melbourne.

13
Interim Report as of 30 September 2014
During the first nine months of 2014, activities aimed at supporting a pillar of our growth strategy, i.e.
the opening of direct, single-brand stores, included 11 new stores: 1 in Italy inside Terminal 1 of the
Malpensa airport; 3 in London (Covent Garden, Canary Wharf and the temporary store at the Old Street
tube station); 2 in Paris at the St. Lazare and Montparnasse train stations; 1 freestanding store in Berlin;
3 in China (2 in Beijing, at the Oriental Plaza and at the La Fayette Galerie, and 1 in Naijing at the Golden
Eagle Mall) , and one in Singapore, at Ion Orchard Mall. During the first nine months of 2014, 11 stores were
closed, Paris Aéroville, Turin Porta Nuova, Milan Malpensa (satellites A and B), and 6 temporary stores, i.e.
Bloomingdale’s in Chicago and New York, Roma Fiumicino, Verona Porta Nuova, the freestanding store in
Paris in the Le Marais district, Heathrow airport in Terminal 1, and the shop-in-shop at Coin in Florence.

Interim Report as of 30 September 2014
EXPANSION OF THE PRODUCT LINE
In 2014, the Group has continued efforts to expand our product portfolio in order to meet the increasing
needs of Moleskine customers.
With regard to the WTR collections, product launches included the myCloud bag series, a new line of classic
bags to complete the offering for a complementary target to the classic bags in order to meet the needs of
Moleskine customers looking for highly functional bags with that iconic Moleskine design and with a touch
of color on the inside.
These new myCloud bags embody the myAnalogCloud concept for a set of objects that the contemporary
nomad – Moleskine’s primary target – chooses to carry every day and which is right at home in these bags. In
the second quarter of 2014, the series appeared in Moleskine stores and, at the same time, was distributed
through the wholesale channel to the Moleskine distributors and retailers served by way of this channel. In the
wholesale channel, the addition of this line of bags was accompanied in the points of sale most representative
of the new Moleskine Ateliers. In the third quarter of 2014, the line of myCloud bags was expanded with a
new color across all four models, as well as with a line of accessories for digital devices in the market’s two
key sizes (10 and 13 inches) in the colors khaki and Payne’s grey.

Interim Report as of 30 September 2014
In the third quarter of 2014, the range of Moleskine writing utensils offered around the world was extended
with the new white classic pencil and pen, which join the classic black pen. Four new colors have been added
to the line of classic click/ball-point pens. This new color palette is part of a broader direction that Moleskine
is taking in terms of color aimed at better meeting the needs of our target markets and the strong desire for
more color to enhance the day-to-day activities of the contemporary nomad.
Classic click ball pens - new colours
The line of Travelling Accessories has also been expanded with the addition of khaki shoulder bags and three
new articles in our line of wallets: Card, Passport and vertical.
myCloud Accessories Collection
In the Paper categories, work continues on expansion of available colors on the back of the success of the five
colors launched in 2013 in the Hard Cover Classic Notebook family, with three new colors being available since
the start of 2014 for soft cover notebooks: underwater blue, orchid purple, and khaki beige. The flexibility of
the soft cover is complemented by a new layout that is ideal for artists and designers, i.e. a dotted grid that
facilitates page creation (ruled or squared) or the inclusion of sketches, symmetrical graphics and more.
16
Interim Report as of 30 September 2014
In the third quarter of 2014, we launched Voyageur, the new travel journal for the digital age. Voyageur is the
perfect companion throughout one’s travels, from collecting ideas before the trip to the actual travelling from
one place to another and looking back on the best memories, in both physical and digital form, which can even
be shared with others. As such, Voyageur has been designed to provide a toolkit to extend its utility (msk2,
downloadable templates, photo books), as well as connections and interrelationships (maps) and other fun
elements (B-Side I’m Here) to encourage a constant connection between travellers and their journals.

Interim Report as of 30 September 2014
In the third quarter of 2014, Lego is again a featured part of the Moleskine Limited Editions with four
new interpretations that unite the creativity of these iconic building blocks to the high-energy colors of
Moleskine covers.
LEGO Limited Edition Notebooks
The Hobbit, a continuing presence in the world of film, is also back with an excellent new canvas cover and
new, inspiring contributions in design in the internal add-ons. The elegant Box is an original gift idea that
completes the ideal combination of articles for the holiday season.

Interim Report as of 30 September 2014
The union of pen and notebook has finally been achieved in a box set that combines these two elements of the
Moleskine experience as a sort of celebration of the "perfect match" of a pen created specifically for clipping
onto its notebook, available in both pocket and large versions.
Livescribe Notebook by Moleskine
In terms of digital products and services, Moleskine also has a notebook created for use with the Livescribe
smartpens and the Livescribe+ app, which extends our range of products spanning the analog/digital
continuum. The special pattern of microdots of the Livescribe notebook makes it possible to convert
handwritten notes into digital form at surprising levels of speed and accuracy and with an extraordinary user
experience. Text, sketches and notes go from the page to the screen in real time and remain both editable,
with the help of handwriting recognition technology, and shareable. Tagging can be used to organize notes
written on paper and stored in the app so that they are easier to find later on. Off-white paper, rounded
corners, place marker, and elastic closure complement the pattern stamped into the cover, which reflects
the design of the Livescribe 3 smartpen. Once again, the Moleskine notebook and its unmistakable, classic
detailing makes for an innovative, creative environment.

Interim Report as of 30 September 2014
PERFORMANCE OF THE GROUP AS AT SEPTEMBER 30, 2014
The following tables show i) the condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income as at September
30, 2014, compared to the same period of the previous year, ii) the sources and uses of funds statement as
of September 30, 2014, compared to December 31, 2013, and iii) capital expenditures for the nine months of
2014, compared to the same figures as at September 30, 2013.
It should also be noted that, for the sake of clarity, the following reclassifications have been made:
1. currency gains and losses, which were previously recognized as an adjustment to revenue (net gains/
(losses) on sales transactions) and expenses for the purchase of finished products, raw materials and
consumables (net gains/(losses) on sales transactions), have now been reclassified as other operating
income and other operating expenses;
2. costs for employee insurance, which were previously recognized among service costs, are now included
under employee benefit expense.
These reclassifications have also been applied to the financial statements for the corresponding period of the
previous year for the sake of comparability.
In addition to the conventional financial statements and indicators required under the IFRSs, this document
also presents certain reclassified statements and alternative performance indicators in order to better
assess the Group’s financial performance. Nonetheless, these statements and indicators should not be
considered to be replacements for the conventional ones required by the IFRSs.
It should also be noted that, although the Group business does not undergo significant seasonal or cyclical
changes in overall annual sales, it is influenced by a different distribution of business performance for the
direct (e-commerce and retail) channels over the course of the year, as this area tends to be concentrated in
the later part of the year. For this reason, an analysis of financial standing and performance for the first half
of the year should not be considered a fully proportionate share of the entire year.

(1) The Group defines EBITDA as operating income (EBIT) before depreciation amortization, and impairment of non-current assets.
EBITDA is not recognized as a measure of financial performance or liquidity under IFRS; therefore, it should not be considered
an alternative measure for assessing the performance of Group operating income. Since the method for calculating EBITDA is not
governed by reference accounting standards, the method applied by the Group may not be the same as that adopted by others and
therefore may not be comparable.
(2) Adjusted revenues represent revenues from the statement of comprehensive income net of revenues generated by the sale of displays
and other revenues and income not relating to the ordinary business.
(3) Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBIT, and adjusted net income are net of non-recurring transactions and transactions that are not directly
related to our core business and are presented along with their percentages of adjusted revenues.

Adjusted EBITDA, i.e. earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and impairment, includes
non-recurring and extraordinary items, such as:
i) severance costs and other costs related to company reorganizations;
ii) legal fees and other costs related to extraordinary transactions (e.g. changes in distribution models, the
termination of agreements with distributors or suppliers, lump-sum and other types of costs paid in
settlements with third parties, etc.);
iii)costs related to fiscal disputes;
iv)other one-off costs non related to ordinary operations (e.g. costs related to recalls, costs for adaptations to
applicable national and/or international laws and regulations, etc.);
v) extraordinary and non-recurring income (e.g. insurance settlement in the event of a warehouse fire, etc.).

ANALYSIS OF REVENUES
Revenues increased by Euro 3,461 thousand, or 5.6%, from Euro 61,661 thousand for the first nine months
of 2013 to Euro 65,122 thousand for the same period of 2014. Adjusted revenues went from Euro 61,522
thousand for the first nine months of 2013 to Euro 65,023 thousand for the same period of 2014 for an
increase of 5.7%. This solid sales performance may be attributed to an increase in the average per-unit price
of our products, which was driven both by the increasing importance of the retail and e-commerce channels
relative to indirect distribution and by a favorable product mix due to an increase in categories with higher
product prices. Also having a positive impact on sales was the change in the American business model with
the implementation of mixed, direct and indirect, distribution.

slight increase (+1.7%) compared to those of the same period of the previous year (Euro 32,395 thousand).
Growth in adjusted revenues for the EMEA area, however, was greater at 3.5%.
The Americas posted an increase in revenues of Euro 2,612 thousand (+12.1%) and in adjusted revenues of
Euro 2,021 thousand (+9.1%) compared to the same period of the previous year. At constant exchange rates,
rather than at current rates, this increase would rise to 12.3%.
Finally, the APAC area posted an increase in revenues and adjusted revenues of Euro 302 thousand (+3.9%)
and Euro 363 thousand (+4.8%), respectively. This growth was driven by the change in distributor in Japan.

ANALYSIS OF DISTRIBUTION CHANNEL
The following tables show the breakdown by distribution channel of revenues and adjusted revenues for the
nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013. It should be noted that adjusted wholesale revenues for
the first nine months of 2013 have been reduced by Euro 296 thousand and adjusted B2B revenues increased
by the same amount because a customer, which was previously included under the wholesale channel, has
been more appropriately categorized within the B2B channel.

WHOLESALE
Both revenues and adjusted revenues for the wholesale channel remained essentially stable for the first
nine months of 2014 as compared to the same period of the previous year, declining by just 0.3% and 0.1%,
respectively. At constant exchange rates, adjusted revenues for the wholesale channel increased by 1%.
B2B
Revenues through the B2B channel increased by Euro 1,144 thousand, going from Euro 8,505 thousand for
the first nine months of 2013 to Euro 9,649 thousand for the same period of 2014 (+13.4%), while adjusted
revenues for the B2B channel increased somewhat slower (+10.7%). This growth was driven by the “indirect”
B2B model, which is based on commercial partnerships with trade agencies that make it possible to meet a
broader demand for custom editions internationally.
E-COMMERCE
Revenues through the e-commerce channel went from Euro 2,303 thousand for the first nine months of 2013
to Euro 2,481 thousand for the same period of 2014 for an increase of 7.7%, which is slightly slower than the
increase seen in adjusted revenues (+13.5%). The trend in sales for the e-commerce channel also benefitted
from the recognition of revenues at the e-commerce retail price.
RETAIL
In the retail channel for the first nine months of 2014, the Group continued implementing the strategy of
opening directly operated stores (DOSs), through which articles from all Moleskine product categories are
distributed directly to the consumer. These new points of sale follow the Group strategy of guaranteeing
consumers a broad and rich product mix, while promoting brand and product awareness to benefit the entire
distribution network. Revenues generated through the retail channel during the first nine months of 2014
came to Euro 4,802 thousand, up Euro 2,297 thousand compared to the same period of 2013 (+91.7%). This
increase in sales volumes was the result of the strategy of opening new shops, which has continued in 2014
with the opening of eleven new shops.

The following tables show the breakdown of revenues and adjusted revenues by product line for the
nine months of 2014 and 2013. It should be noted that adjusted revenues for the Paper collection for the
first nine months of the previous year have been increased by Euro 24 thousand due to a change in the
classification of revenues from Publishing products, which has led to a reduction in revenues for the WTR
collection by the same amount.

PAPER COLLECTION
During 2014, the Group has continued developing the Paper Collection with the launch of new products
and, in particular, by expanding the offering of colors for our Soft Covers, launching the Art Plus concept,
and adding the Business Notebook to our Evernote Smartbooks. Revenues generated by Paper Collections
increased by 3.7%.
WTR COLLECTION
With regard to the WTR Collection of products, in 2014, the Group has launched the myCloud bag series
and expanded the line with the new classic white pencils and pens.
Revenues generated by the WTR Collection increased by 33.2% (or by 32.8% in terms of adjusted
revenues), resulting in an increase in its relative weight in overall sales revenues thanks, above all, to
the strong performance posted in the writing and cases segments, while also being driven by the direct
channel, where WTR sales are of relatively greater importance than in the indirect channel.

(*) The Group defines EBITDA as EBIT gross of depreciation, amortization and impairment of non-current assets. EBITDA is not recognized as a measure
of financial performance or liquidity under IFRS; therefore, it should not be considered an alternative measure for assessing the performance of Group
operating income. Since the method for calculating EBITDA is not governed by reference accounting standards, the method applied by the Group may
not be the same as that adopted by others and therefore may not be comparable.
It should also be noted that, in application of CONSOB Resolution no. 15519 of July 27, 2006, when income
items deriving from non-recurring events or transactions are significant, they must be shown separately in
management remarks and in financial reporting.
EBITDA has grown by 17.8%, going from Euro 16.002 thousand for the first nine months of 2013 to Euro
18,864 thousand for the same period of 2014. It should be specified that EBITDA for the first nine months
of 2013 included the negative impact of non-recurring charges related to the company’s IPO on the Italian
screen-based market, Mercato Telematico Azionario (MTA), on April 3, 2013.
For the first nine months of 2014, adjusted EBITDA settled at Euro 20,810 thousand, or 32% of adjusted revenues,
a decline of around seven percentage points compared to the same period of the previous year.
This trend in adjusted EBITDA is mainly due to the following factors:
i) the now full effect of overhead costs to support the Group’s growth, to develop new channels (and the
retail channel in particular), and to expand into new territories;
ii) the dilution, in percentage terms, of margins from the wholesale channel as a consequence of the change in the
American and German business models with the implementation of mixed (direct and indirect) distribution.
Operating income (EBIT) was also affected by these factors, as well as by the increase in depreciation and
amortization in the first nine months of 2014 as compared to 2013 and related to the investments made in
order to increase the size of the organization and expand the direct channels. As a result, it went from the Euro
14,472 thousand of the first nine months of 2013 to Euro 16,095 thousand for the same period of 2014. Net
of non-recurring and other costs not directly related to our core business, adjusted EBIT came to Euro 18,041
thousand for the first nine months of 2014 (Euro 22,736 thousand for the first nine months of 2013).

Interim Report as of 30 September 2014
The following is a combined analysis of costs for finished products, raw materials and consumables and of
costs for external processing for the first nine months of both 2013 and 2014. As can be seen in the table
below, the impact of these costs as a percentage of revenues has increased from 22.7% in 2013 to 25.1% in
2014, due mainly to unfavorable changes in the euro-dollar exchange rate.

The cyclical nature mentioned above should be taken into consideration to better understand the main
changes in net working capital. Therefore, the remarks below comparing the figures at September 30, 2014,
and at the same date of 2013 take account of the relative weights of the individual aggregates as a percentage
of sales over the last 12 months, as follows:

As shown in the tables above, we see that:

thousand, or 16.2%) and September 30, 2013 (up Euro 1,617 thousand, or 9.7%). The increase compared
to the end of the prior year has been driven by the growth in business volumes for the Group, as well as by
the seasonal nature of inventories, which feature an assortment of new products. The change compared
to September 30, 2013, is in line with the growth in business volumes, with inventories as a percentage of
sales for the previous twelve months coming to 20% both in 2014 and in 2013;
34
Interim Report as of 30 September 2014
ii)trade receivables increased by Euro 5,867 thousand (+29.4%) compared to September 30, 2013, and
by Euro 7,568 thousand (+41.5%) compared to December 31, 2013. In addition to being influenced by
the favorable trend in sales, trade receivables at September 30, 2014, reflect the change in distribution
models in both Germany and Japan;
iii)trade payables as at September 30, 2014, increased in relation to both December 31, 2013 (up Euro 636
thousand, or 4%) and September 30, 2013 (up Euro 3,512 thousand, or 27.1%). This increase was due to
the greater sales volumes and consequent increase in the purchase of goods and in inventories
CAPITAL EXPENDITURES
Capital expenditures for the first nine months of 2014, in the amount of Euro 2,363 thousand, relate primarily
to new installations of in-store exhibition structures, the setting up of new stores, the purchase of hardware,
and the molds for the new WTR products.
Investments in intangible assets in 2014, in the amount of Euro 822 thousand, refer mainly to the data
warehousing and business intelligence project, which is currently under way.
For the first nine months of 2013, capital expenditures, totaling Euro 1,990 thousand, referred mainly to the
installation of new in-store display structures, office furnishings and other improvements, and molds for the
new WTR products, while investments in intangible assets, in the amount of Euro 2,056 thousand, mainly
referred to the development of IT platforms for the integrated management of inventories and retail stores.

As can be seen in the statement of cash flows, net financial indebtedness for the Group has declined by Euro
2,248 thousand, going from the Euro 16,057 thousand of December 31, 2013, to Euro 13,809 thousand as of
September 30, 2014, thanks to cash flows of Euro 6,279 thousand generated by operating activities, which
were only partially offset by uses of funds for investments made in the first nine months of 2014 in the
amount of Euro 3,185 thousand.
On July 16, 2014, we completed a debt refinancing operation through which we repaid financing outstanding
with the pool of banks lead by GE Capital S.p.A., and including Intesa San Paolo S.p.A. and Mediocreval S.p.A.,
for a total of Euro 21,882 thousand. At the same time, new financing in the amount of Euro 22 million was
obtained, Euro 12 million of which provided by Mediobanca S.p.A. and Euro 10 million by Intesa San Paolo
S.p.A.. Both of these new loans have a duration of sixty months and are, therefore, to be paid in full by June 30,
2019. The amortization plan calls for half-yearly installments beginning on June 30, 2015, and the interest
rate applied is equal to the six-month Euribor rate plus a spread of 2.25%. These loans require that we respect
certain covenants and envisage a number of default events that are to be verified on December 31 of each
year.

Interim Report as of 30 September 2014
SIGNIFICANT EVENTS AFTER THE REPORTING PERIOD
On October 16, the Company announced a number of changes to the organization with the goal of enabling the
managing director, Arrigo Berni, to dedicate additional resources to developing business strategy, to building
partnerships, and to pursuing other initiatives of strategic importance to the future growth of the business.
Within the scope of such changes, both the retail channel and the area of Digital Innovation now report

New Business & Publishing; and Human Resources. At the same time, the role of Chief Operating Officer (COO)

This position, which also reports to the managing director, will be coordinating the efforts of the heads of
the wholesale, B2B and e-commerce channels and of the heads of Marketing, Product Development and
Operations.

Marketing, will be leaving the Company, but will continue to collaborate with us as a senior advisor to the
COO, Lorenzo Viglione, throughout the initial stages of his new role.
Also in October, the network of single-brand stores was further expanded with additional store openings,
including another store in the U.S. in Sarasota, one in downtown Paris, and one in China. The Company is
expected to open nine more locations by the end of the year, including two in Italy in the centers of Milan and
Rome and another at the prestigious IFC mall in Hong Kong.

Interim Report as of 30 September 2014
BUSINESS OUTLOOK
Although the figures for the first nine months of 2014 are not particularly representative of performance
for the full year given that more than half of all business is concentrated in the second have due to the
greater importance of the direct channels, as mentioned when presenting the strategy for 2014-2016, the
Group has posted results at of September 30, 2014, that are in line with the forecasts for the period.
In consideration of such performance and of the trends now being seen in the marketplace, the Company
believes that it will be possible to achieve results for the full year 2014 that are in line with the guidance,
which called for revenues of between Euro 99 and 101 million and EBITDA of between Euro 33 and 34 million.
Development of the network of direct stores, the innovative products currently in the pipeline, and recent
developments in the area of licensing are reinforcing our ability to achieve the medium-term growth
targets set in our Strategic Plan.
