MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Overview

 

We are a global luxury fashion group with five portfolio brands, namely Lanvin, Wolford, Sergio Rossi, St. John and Caruso. Founded in 1889, Lanvin is one of the oldest French couture houses still in operation, offering products ranging from apparel to leather goods, footwear, and accessories. Wolford, founded in 1950, is one of the largest luxury skinwear brands in the world, offering luxury legwear and bodywear, with a recent successful diversification into leisurewear and athleisure. Sergio Rossi is a highly recognized Italian shoemaker brand and has been a household name for luxury shoes since 1951. St. John is a classic, timeless and sophisticated American luxury womenswear house founded in 1962 and Caruso has been a premier menswear manufacturer in Europe since 1958. In addition to our current five portfolio brands, we are also actively looking at potential add-on acquisitions as part of our growth strategy.

 

Our goal is to build a leading global luxury group with unparalleled access to Asia and to provide customers with excellent products that reflect our brands’ tradition of fine craftsmanship with exclusive design content and a style that preserves the exceptional manufacturing quality for which those brands are known. This is consistently achieved through the sourcing of superior raw materials, the careful finish of each piece, and the way the products are manufactured and delivered to our customers. For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, we recorded revenues of €171.0 million and €214.5 million, respectively, net loss of €69.4 million and €72.2 million, respectively and Adjusted EBITDA of €(42.1) million and €(40.9) million, respectively.

 

We operate a combination of direct-to-consumer, or DTC, and wholesale channels worldwide through our extensive network of around 1,100 points of sale, including approximately 266 directly-operated retail stores (across our five portfolio brands) as of June 30, 2024. We distribute our products worldwide via retail and outlet stores, wholesale customers and e-commerce platforms. Taking into account the DTC (including both directly-operated stores and e-commerce sites) and wholesale channels, we are present in more than 80 countries.

 

Key Factors Affecting Our Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

Fluctuations in exchange rates

 

A significant portion of our operations are in international markets outside the Eurozone, where we record revenues and expenses in various currencies other than the Euro, mainly the Chinese Renminbi and U.S. dollar, as well as other currencies.

Revenues

 

We generate revenue primarily through our five brands: Lanvin, Wolford, St. John, Sergio Rossi and Caruso, whose revenues are generated from the sale of their products, manufacturing and services for private labels and other luxury brands, as well as from royalties received from third parties and licensees. Revenue is measured at the transaction price which is based on the amount of consideration that we expect to receive in exchange for transferring the promised goods or services to the customer. For each period presented, revenue is exclusive of sales incentives, rebates and sales discounts. As such, the percentage contribution of these sales incentives, rebates and sales discount is zero.

 

Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2024 amounted to €171.0 million, a decrease of €43.6 million or (20.3) %, compared to €214.5 million in the same period in 2023.

(4)Other Asia includes Japan, South Korea, Thailand, Malaysia, Vietnam, Indonesia, Philippines, Australia, New Zealand, India and other Southeast Asian countries.

 

By segment

 

By segment, the decrease in revenues was driven by (i) a decrease of €16.2 million (or (27.6)%) in sales from Wolford segment, which was mainly due to market headwinds and shipping disruptions caused by a transition to a new logistics supplier, (ii) a decrease of €12.6 million in sales (or (38.2)%) from Sergio Rossi segment, which was attributed to its decline in the wholesale channel, (iii) a decrease of €8.8 million (or (15.4)%) from Lanvin segment, which was mainly due to market headwinds and Lanvin’s transition of artistic director, (iv) a decrease of €6.7 million (or (14.3)%) from St.John segment, which was mainly due to global market softness, and (v) a decrease of €0.2 million (or (1.0)%) from Caruso segment due to global market softness, particularly in the wholesale channel.

 

By sales channel

 

By sales channel, the decrease in revenues was mainly related to a decrease of €25.9 million (or (30.3)%) in the wholesale channel, a decrease of €16.5 million (or (13.6)%) in the DTC channel, and a decrease of €1.2 million (or (15.4)%) in the other channel.

 

The decrease in wholesale revenues was mainly due to the decrease of Wolford, Sergio Rossi and Lanvin’s wholesale business, which was mainly impacted by the softening demand for luxury goods. Sales to our five largest customers were 7.8% and 8.7% of our revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. No single customer accounted for more than 5% of our consolidated revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.The decrease in the DTC channel was primarily due to reduced retail traffic.

 

Other channel decrease was mainly due to the decrease of Lanvin’s clearance income.

 

 The following table sets forth a breakdown of store count at the end of the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023:

 

   As of June 30, 
   2024   2023 
Lanvin   37    32 
Wolford   140    156 
St. John   42    44 
Sergio Rossi   47    50 
Caruso        
Total   266    282

By geography

 

By geographical region, the decrease in revenues was mainly due to (i) a decrease of €28.2 million (or (27.1) %) in EMEA, (ii) a decrease of €8.2 million (or (11.3)%) in North America, (iii) a decrease of €6.3 million (or (24.2)%) in Greater China, and (iv) a decrease of €0.9 million (or (7.4)%) in other Asia.

 

The decrease in EMEA was due to the decrease of Wolford, Sergio Rossi, Lanvin and St.John, which was partially offset by the increase of Caruso. Wolford’s EMEA business decreased €13.6 million (or (34.0)%) year-over-year to €26.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2024, mainly attributed to the impact of shift to new logistic supplier. Sergio Rossi’s EMEA business decreased €9.0 million (or (48.5)%) year-over-year to €9.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2024, mainly attributable to its reduction in wholesale channels (including third-party production), and in part due to Sergio Rossi’s strategic adjustment on third-party production. Lanvin’s EMEA business decreased €6.3 million (or (21.4)%) year-over-year to €23.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2024. St. John’s EMEA business decreased €0.4 million (or (59.1)%) year-over-year to €0.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2024. Caruso’s EMEA business increased €0.5 million or 3.3% year-over-year to €16.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2024.

 

The decrease in North America was mainly due to the decrease of St.John, Wolford and Lanvin. St. John’s North America business decreased €4.3 million (or (10.3)%) year-over-year to €37.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2024. Wolford’s North America business decreased €1.5 million (or (10.4)%) year-over-year to €12.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2024. Lanvin’s North America business decreased €1.2 million (or (9.2)%) year-over-year to €12.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2024.

 

The decrease in Greater China was mainly due to the decrease of Sergio Rossi, St.John, Lanvin and Wolford. In the six months ended June 30, 2024, Sergio Rossi’s revenue decreased by (34.3)% to €4.2 million, St. John decreased by (47.1)% to €2.2 million, Lanvin decreased by (14.1)% to €9.5 million and Wolford decreased by (20.3)% to €3.3 million.

 

The decrease in other Asia was mainly due to the decrease of Sergio Rossi and Wolford, which was partially offset by the increase of Lanvin. Sergio Rossi’s other Asia business decreased €0.9 million (or (12.2)%) year-over-year to €6.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2024, which was mainly due to the decrease in wholesale channel while its DTC channel was flat. Wolford’s other Asia business decreased €0.3 million (or (69.1)%) year-over-year to €0.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2024, which was mainly impacted by the transition to its new logistics supplier.

 

The decrease across all regions was primarily attributed to the globally softening demand for luxury fashion goods.

Marketing and selling expenses increased as a percentage of revenue due to higher store related costs and expense deleverage on lower revenue.

Net cash used in operating activities

 

Net cash used in operating activities decreased by €24.6 million from €(58.1) million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 to €(33.5) million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease was primarily attributable to (i) a decrease in trade receivables of €10.2 million (or (22.4)%) to €35.4 million, and (ii) a decrease in trade payables of €2.5 million (or (3.2)%) to €81.1 million at the end of June 30, 2024.

 

Net cash used in investing activities

 

Net cash used in investing activities decreased by €24.8 million from €(28.5) million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 to €(3.8) million net cash used for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease was primarily attributable to (i) the decrease of payment for the purchase of long-term assets from €29.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2023 to €5.6 million in the same period in 2024, and (ii) the increase in proceeds from disposal of long-term assets from €0.8 million in six months ended June 30, 2023 to €1.8 million in the same period in 2024.

 

Net cash flows generated from financing activities

 

Net cash flows generated from financing activities increased by €0.3 million from €26.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 to €26.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The increase in cash flows from financing activities was primarily attributable to (i) increased proceeds from borrowings of € 114.8 million, (ii) lower repayments of borrowings of €(55.5) million, (iii) lower payment of borrowings interest of €(3.3) million, and partially offset by (iv) lack of proceeds from financing fund compared to €22.8 million in 2023, (v) increase repurchase of ordinary shares of €(9.4) million, (vi) lower capital contribution from noncontrolling interests of €5 thousands compared to €5.6 million in 2023, (vi) higher payment of lease liabilities of €(16.2) million and higher payment of lease liabilities interest of €(3.6) million.

Borrowings

 

We enter into and manage debt facilities centrally in order to satisfy the short and medium-term needs of each of our subsidiaries based on criteria of efficiency and cost-effectiveness. Our portfolio brands have historically entered into and maintained with a diversified pool of lenders a total amount of committed credit lines that is considered consistent with their needs and suitable to ensure at any time the liquidity needed to satisfy and comply with all of their financial commitments, as well as guaranteeing an adequate level of operational flexibility for any expansion programs.

 

As of June 30, 2024, borrowings amounted to €8.3 million were guaranteed by a third-party SACE S.p.A., and borrowings amounted to €28.9 million were secured by pledges of our assets including property, plant and equipment, inventories and trade receivables.

 

Our unsecured borrowings are principally used for operations. As of June 30, 2024, the borrowings are at rates ranging from 4.55% to 17.11% per annum.

 

For additional information, see Note 18-Borrowings in the Semi-Annual Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

We are subject to certain covenants, including financial and otherwise, under our financing agreements. As of June 30, 2024, we were in material compliance with all covenants.

 

Contractual obligations and commitments

 

The following table summarizes our contractual obligations and commitments as of June 30, 2024:

We may be subject to restrictions which limit our ability to use cash. In particular, our cash held at banks in China is subject to certain repatriation restrictions and may only be repatriated as dividends. We do not believe that such transfer restrictions have any adverse impacts on our ability to meet liquidity requirements. There was no restricted cash as of June 30, 2024.

Recent Developments

 

Ordinary Shares repurchase

 

We entered into a side letter with Meritz on April 30, 2024, which modified the Amended and Restated Relationship Agreement (the “Meritz Side Letter”). Pursuant to the Meritz Side Letter, we agreed to repurchase from Meritz 5,245,648 Ordinary Shares in aggregate for a total purchase price of US$20.0 million under the prescribed schedule therein. As of the date of this filing, we made repurchases of (i) 1,328,704 Ordinary Shares on April 30, 2024 for US$5.0 million, (ii) 1,318,129 Ordinary Shares on June 28, 2024 for US$5.0 million, and (iii) 1,305,220 Ordinary Shares on July 31, 2024 for US$5.0 million.

 

Shareholder loans

 

We received certain unsecured shareholder loans for working capital purposes from our shareholder Fosun International and its subsidiaries, being FPI (US) 1 LLC, Shanghai Fosun High Technology (Group) Co., Ltd. and Shanghai Fosun High Technology Group Finance Co., Ltd. Most of such shareholder loans have interest rates ranging from 6% to 10% per annum. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, we received proceeds of shareholder loans €61.5 million from Fosun International and its subsidiaries and repaid €1.1 million to Fosun International and its subsidiaries. As of June 30, 2024, we had amounts due to Fosun International and its subsidiaries (excluding accrued interest) of €87.6 million.

Non-IFRS Financial Measures

 

Our management monitors and evaluates operating and financial performance using several non-IFRS financial measures including: contribution profit, contribution profit margin, adjusted earnings before interest and taxes (“Adjusted EBIT”), adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”). Our management believes that these non-IFRS financial measures provide useful and relevant information regarding our performance and improve their ability to assess financial performance and financial position. They also provide comparable measures that facilitate management’s ability to identify operational trends, as well as make decisions regarding future spending, resource allocations and other operational decisions. While similar measures are widely used in the industry in which we operate, the financial measures that we use may not be comparable to other similarly named measures used by other companies nor are they intended to be substitutes for measures of financial performance or financial position as prepared in accordance with IFRS.

 

Contribution profit and contribution profit margin

 

Contribution profit is defined as revenues less the cost of sales and selling and marketing expenses. Contribution profit margin is defined as contribution profit divided by revenue.

 

Contribution profit subtracts the main variable expenses of selling and marketing expenses from gross profit, and our management believes this measure is an important indicator of profitability at the marginal level.

 

Below contribution profit, the main expenses are general administrative expenses and other operating expenses (which include foreign exchange gains or losses and impairment losses). As we continue to improve the management of our portfolio brands, we believe we can achieve greater economy of scale across the different brands by maintaining the fixed expenses at a lower level as a proportion of revenue. We therefore use contribution profit margin as a key indicator of profitability at the group level as well as the portfolio brand level.

 

The table below reconciles revenues to contribution profit for the periods indicated.

   For the six months ended June 30, 
   2024   2023 
Revenues   170,976    214,537 
Cost of Sales   (72,598)   (89,083)
Gross profit   98,378    125,454 
Marketing and selling expenses   (105,591)   (110,600)
Contribution profit   (7,213)   14,854 

 

Adjusted EBIT

 

Adjusted EBIT is defined as profit or loss before income taxes, net finance cost, share based compensation, adjusted for income and costs which are significant in nature and that management considers not reflective of underlying operational activities, mainly including net gains on disposal of long-term assets and government grants.

 

The table below reconciles loss for the year to adjusted EBIT for the periods indicated.

Qualitative and Quantitative Information on Financial Risks

 

We are exposed to market risks in the ordinary course of our business. These risks primarily include foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. See Note 4.3—Financial risk factors to the Semi-Annual Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Semi-Annual Report and Note 4.3—Financial risk factors to the Annual Consolidated Financial Statements for further details.

 

Our overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimize potential adverse effects on our financial performance. We did not use any derivative financial instruments to hedge certain risk exposures.

 

Foreign exchange risk

 

We have a vast international presence, and therefore is exposed to the risk that changes in currency exchange rates could adversely impact revenue, expenses, margins and profit. Our management manages our foreign exchange risk by performing regular review.

 

Interest rate risk

 

We do not have any significant interest bearing financial assets or liabilities except for cash and cash equivalents and borrowings, details of which are disclosed in Notes 17 and 18 to the Semi-Annual Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Semi-Annual Report and Notes 23 and 24 to Lanvin Group’s consolidated financial statements, respectively.

 

20

 

 

Our exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to our borrowings with floating interest rates. Our policy is to manage our interest cost using a mix of fixed and variable rate debts. As of June 30, 2024, approximately 81% of our interest-bearing borrowings bore interest at fixed rates.

 

Credit risk

 

Credit risk is defined as the risk of financial loss caused by the failure of a counterparty to repay amounts owed or meet its contractual obligations. The maximum risk to which an entity is exposed is represented by all the financial assets recognized in the financial statements. Management considers our credit risk to relate primarily to trade receivables generated from the wholesale channel and mitigates the related effects through specific commercial and financial strategies.

 

With regards to trade receivables, credit risk management is carried out by monitoring the reliability and solvency of customers.

 

Liquidity risk

 

Liquidity risk refers to the difficulty we could have in meeting our financial obligations.

 

According to management, the funds and credit lines currently available, in addition to those that will be generated by operating and financing activities, will enable us to meet our financial requirement arising from investing activities, working capital management and punctual loan repayment as planned.

 

As of June 30, 2024, we had undrawn cash credit lines of up to $15.11 million available at banks.

Lanvin Group Holdings Limited

Notes to the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

At and for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023

(Unaudited)

 

1.General information

 

Lanvin Group Holdings Limited (formerly known as Fosun Fashion Group Limited, and hereinafter referred to as “LGHL” or the “Company” and together with its consolidated subsidiaries, or any one or more of them, as the context may require, the “Lanvin Group” or the “Group”) is the holding company of the Lanvin Group and domiciled in Cayman Islands, the incorporation number of the Company is 382280 and the registered office is at PO Box 309, Ugland House, Grand Cayman, KY1-1104, Cayman Islands.

 

The Group is the leading global luxury fashion group, managing iconic brands worldwide including French couture house Lanvin, Italian luxury shoemaker Sergio Rossi, Austrian skinwear specialist Wolford, American womenswear brand St. John, and high-end Italian menswear maker Caruso. The Group’s brand portfolio covers a wide variety of fashion categories and leverages a combination of e-commerce, offline retail and wholesale channels, providing both growth opportunities as well as stability and resilience throughout the fashion cycle.

 

2.Basis of preparation

 

Statement of compliance with IFRS

 

These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Group (the “Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements”) have been prepared in compliance with IAS 34 - Interim Financial Reporting (“IAS 34”). The Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Group’s consolidated financial statements at and for the year ended December 31, 2023 (the “ Annual Consolidated Financial Statements”), which have been prepared in compliance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those applied in the Consolidated Financial Statements, except for the adoption of new and amended standards as disclosed in Note 3.

 

Contents and structure of the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

 

The Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the interim condensed consolidated statements of profit or loss, interim condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive loss, interim condensed consolidated statements of financial position, interim condensed consolidated statements of cash flows, interim condensed consolidated statements of changes in equity and the accompanying notes.

 

The Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are presented in Euro, which is the functional and presentation currency of the Company, and amounts are stated in thousands of Euros, unless otherwise indicated.

 

Going concern

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Group has incurred operating losses of €56.68 million, and net losses of €69.38 million. The Group had net current liabilities of €162.59 million and an accumulated losses of €629.25 million as of June 30, 2024.

 

Management closely monitors the Group’s financial performance and liquidity position. Historically, the Group has been able to obtain debt and equity financing. The Group has funded operations primarily with issuances of preferred shares, long-term debt and net proceeds from revenues.

 

The Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared on a going concern basis because one of the Company's shareholders, Fosun International Limited, has committed to continue to provide adequate support for the Company to meet its obligations as they become due for at least 24 months from the issuance date of these financial statements.

 

F-6

 

 

Use of estimates

 

The preparation of the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities as well as the disclosure of contingent liabilities. If in the future such estimates and assumptions, which are based on management’s best judgment at the date of these Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, deviate from the actual circumstances, the original estimates and assumptions will be modified as appropriate in the period in which the circumstances change. Reference should be made to the section “Use of estimates” in the Consolidated Financial Statements for a detailed description of the more significant valuation procedures used by the Group in preparing its consolidated financial statements. Moreover, in accordance with IAS 34, certain valuation procedures, in particular those of a more complex nature regarding matters such as any impairment of non-current assets, are only carried out in full during the preparation of the annual consolidated financial statements, other than in the event that there are indications of impairment, in which case an immediate assessment is performed. Similarly, the actuarial valuations that are required for the determination of employee benefit provisions are also usually carried out during the preparation of the annual consolidated financial statements, except in the event of significant market fluctuations, or significant plan amendments, curtailments or settlements.

4.Financial risk management

 

4.1 Capital management

 

The Group continuously optimizes its capital structure to maximize shareholder value while keeping the financial flexibility to execute the strategic projects. The Group’s capital structure policy and framework aim to optimize shareholder value through cash flow distribution to the Group from its subsidiaries, while maintaining an investment-grade rating and minimizing investments with returns below the Group’s weighted average cost of capital.

 

Cash net of debt is defined as cash and cash equivalents minus non-current and current interest-bearing loans and borrowings and bank overdrafts. Cash net of debt is a financial performance indicator that is used by the Group’s management to highlight changes in the Group’s overall liquidity position.

 

The following table provides a reconciliation of the Group’s cash net of debt:

 

   At June 30,   At December 31, 
(Euro thousands)  2024   2023 
Cash and cash equivalents   18,308    28,130 
Non-current borrowings   (28,070)   (32,381)
Current borrowings   (98,219)   (35,720)
Borrowings   (126,289)   (68,101)
Bank overdrafts   (429)   (280)
Cash net of debt   (108,410)   (40,251)

 

The ratio of cash net of debt to total consolidated equity was as follows:

 

   At June 30,   At December 31, 
(Euro thousands)  2024   2023 
Cash net of debt   108,410    40,251 
Total equity   92,724    165,628 
Total capital   201,134    205,879 
Gearing ratio   53.9%   20%

4.2 Fair value estimation

 

The following table presents the Group's assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

 

   At June 30,   At December 31, 
(Euro thousands)  2024   2023 
Assets          
Other non-current assets          
-  Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss          
Level 1   1,075    1,075 
Level 3   1,627    1,585 
    2,702    2,660 
           
Liabilities          
Other current liabilities          
-  Warrant liabilities          
Level 1   770    2,612 
Level 3   420    1,429 
    1,190    4,041 

 

At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there are no transfers among levels of the fair value hierarchy used in measuring the fair value of financial instruments, and also no changes in the classification of financial assets as a result of a change in the purpose or use of those assets. For more information relating to fair value estimation, reference should be made to Note 4 — Financial risk management to the Annual Consolidated Financial Statements.

4.3 Financial risk factors

 

The Group's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including foreign exchange risk and interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements do not include all the financial risk management information and disclosures required in the full annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of the Company as at and for the year ended December 31, 2023. There have been no changes in the risk management policies during the six months ended June 30, 2024.

 

(a)Market risk

 

Foreign exchange risk

 

The Group has a vast international presence, and therefore is exposed to the risk that changes in currency exchange rates could adversely impact revenue, expenses, margins and profit. The Group’s management assesses its foreign exchange risk by performing a regular review.

 

The following table demonstrates the sensitivity at the end of the reporting period to a reasonably possible change in the main foreign currencies against the Euro, with all other variables held constant, of the Group’s loss before tax due to differences arising on settlement or translation of monetary assets and liabilities and the Group’s equity excluding the impact of accumulated losses due to the changes of exchange fluctuation reserve of certain overseas subsidiaries of which the functional currencies are currencies other than Euro.

Total   (13,768)   13,768    (13,188)   13,188 

 

(b)Credit risk

 

Credit risk is defined as the risk of financial loss caused by the failure of a counterparty to repay amounts owed or meet its contractual obligations. The maximum risk to which an entity is exposed is represented by all the financial assets recognized in the financial statements. Management considers its credit risk to relate primarily to trade receivables generated from the wholesale channel and mitigates the related effects through specific commercial and financial strategies.

 

With regards to trade receivables, credit risk management is carried out by monitoring the reliability and solvency of customers.

 

The following table provides the aging of trade receivables:

(c)Liquidity risk

 

Liquidity risk refers to the difficulty the Group could have in meeting its financial obligations.

 

According to management, the funds and credit lines currently available, in addition to those that will be generated by operating and financing activities, will enable the Group to meet its financial requirement arising from investing activities, working capital management and punctual loan repayment as planned.

 

As of June 30, 2023, the Group has up to $15.11 million in undrawn cash lines of credit with banks (December 31, 2023:$13.00 million).

 

The table below analysis the Group’s financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period at the balance sheet date to the contractual maturity date. The amounts disclosed in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows.

11.Loss per share

 

Basic and diluted loss per share were calculated as the ratio of net profit or (loss) attributable to the shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of outstanding shares (basic and diluted) of the Company.

 

Basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to ordinary shares for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 are calculated as follows (in thousands, except share and per share amounts):

 

   For the six months ended June 30, 
(Euro thousands)  2024   2023 
Net loss attributable to ordinary shares   (57,317)   (63,002)
Weighted-average shares outstanding-basic and diluted (thousand shares)   117,320    130,971 
Net loss per share:          
Basic and diluted (in Euro)   (0.49)   (0.48)

 

As the Group incurred net losses for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, basic loss per share was the same as diluted loss per share.

 

In the calculation of diluted earnings per shares, the warrants have been excluded as the average market price of ordinary shares during the period was lower than the exercise price of the warrants.

 

The following potentially dilutive outstanding securities were excluded from the computation of diluted loss per ordinary share because their effects would have been antidilutive for the six months ended June 30, 2024 or issuance of such shares is contingent upon the satisfaction of certain conditions which were not satisfied by the end of the period:

 

   At June 30,   At June 30,
