ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Change in financial reporting
Exor changed its reporting from 1 January 2024 as it has determined that it is an Investment Entity under IFRS 10 as of that date. This change was primarily driven by an evolution of Exor’s portfolio activity and composition as well as the implementation of a portfolio review process guiding capital allocation decisions based on the fair value.
The change is prospectively applied from 1 January 2024, with a material impact on the presentation of the consolidated financial statements and with first time application in the Half-Year 2024 results, with prior periods not restated in accordance with IFRS 10.
Exor believes that this change aligns its reporting and disclosures with its business and activities, with NAV and GAV now being equal to IFRS measures (Equity and Total Assets, respectively).
The terminology in this report which refers to Alternative Performance Measures (APM) is presented under section “Definitions and Alternative Performance Measures”.
Changes in consolidation
In line with IFRS requirements, Exor deconsolidated portfolio companies where it exercises significant influence or control and accounted for them at fair value, with changes recognized in the income statement. Subsidiaries that provide support services to Exor N.V. in relation to the management of investments, and are not investment entity themselves, continue to be consolidated on a line-by-line basis.
Impact on the financial statements
The one-off positive impact of this change on the income statement amounts to €11,776 million, of which:
- a positive impact of €12,150 million resulting from the difference between the net carrying amount of investments previously consolidated or accounted for using the equity method and their fair value at the date of the change and
- a negative impact of €374 million resulting from the reversal of the OCI reserves of the deconsolidated entities and the ones which are no longer equity-accounted.
Comparison with previous period
NAV and its components at 30 June 2024 are compared to 1 January 2024 to facilitate the understanding and comparability of measures.
In accordance with IFRS, profit and cash flow measures for the period ended 30 June 2023 have not been restated and they are presented as previously reported under the shortened consolidation criterion (non-IFRS). While the scope of consolidation for the period ended 30 June 2024 and the period ended 30 June 2023 is the same, the direct comparison between dates or across periods may be inappropriate or not meaningful if not carefully considered in this context because the fair value measurement is applied from 1 January 2024.
Definitions and Alternative Performance Measures (APM)
The management of Exor has identified a number of Alternative Performance Measures (APM) to measure the Company's financial performance and financial position, which form the basis for capital allocation decisions. Management uses these non-IFRS measures to describe its operations, as well as make decisions regarding future spending, resource allocations and other operational decisions. APM are presented to the financial community to facilitate their understanding of the performance of Exor, and are in line with the industry.
To ensure that the APM are correctly interpreted, it is emphasized that these measures are not indicative of future performance.
