Net asset value (NAV)

Net asset value (NAV) is calculated as the market value of Peugeot 1810 shares plus the gross asset value of Peugeot Invest’s Investments, less financial liabilities. Listed companies are valued at market price at the balance sheet date. Peugeot 1810 shares, which include Stellantis and Forvia shares, are valued at the period-end market price. Details of the valuation methodology used (unchanged from previous publications) are available on the Peugeot Invest website and in the Peugeot Invest Universal Registration Document.

At 30 June 2024,

•       The overall value of Peugeot Invest’s stake in Peugeot 1810 was €3,220 million

•       The gross asset value of Investments was €3,133 million at 30 June 2024

•       Peugeot Invest’s NAV was €5,650 million (€226.70 per share) at 30 June 2024, compared with €5,949 million (€238.70 per share) at 31 December 2023, down 3.7% (dividends reinvested).

Activity and results of main investee companies

Peugeot 1810

Stellantis had a difficult start to the year amid widespread weakness in production volumes. Revenue was €85 billion, down 14% compared with the first half of 2023 due to lower sales volumes and mix on its main markets, including in North America, where the group lost market share. Adjusted operating income was down 40% to €8.5 billion, for an adjusted operating income margin of 10.0%. The group’s management confirmed its annual financial targets of operating margin of over 10% and positive cash flow. 

In the first half of 2024, Stellantis distributed €6.7 billion to its shareholders through payment of an ordinary dividend (€4.7 billion) and the completion of two-thirds of its share buyback programme (€2.0 billion). The ongoing execution of this programme is expected to bring the total return to shareholders to €7.7 billion in 2024.

Despite the weakness in global automotive production, Forvia delivered 2.7% organic growth in revenue, which reached €13.5 billion in the first half of the year. The group’s operating income was €700 million and operating margin stood at 5.2% (+20 bps). Operating margin increased in most activities. Management continues to focus its efforts on deleveraging the company by continuing to improve its cash flow generation (€201 million in the first half of

2024) and executing the ongoing disposal programmes. Net debt was €6.9 billion at 30 June 2024. Management confirmed its financial targets for this year.

Investments

While the market environment remained uncertain in the first half of 2024, the group’s shareholdings generally delivered solid operating performances, driven by underlying trends such as the energy transition and digital transformation for Spie, the dynamics of the aerospace market for LISI, the recovery in business travel with the heightened need for employee protection for International SOS, and dynamic inflows and the strong performance by investments for Rothschild & Co. 

The co-investment activity was satisfactory overall, despite a more complex economic climate in China. 

The investment funds, which are highly diversified by nature and mainly exposed to the United States and the buoyant healthcare and software sectors, continued their gradual rise in what remains a sluggish private equity market.

New investments and disposals

Peugeot Invest continued to rotate its assets and take disposal opportunities centred on value creation. Gains on disposals and distributions amounted to €437 million in the first half of 2024 (compared to €262 million in the first half of 2023).

These gains were used to fund €117 million in new investments in the first half of 2024 and will allow Peugeot Invest to seize investment opportunities in the second half of the year.

Shareholdings
Disposal of LISI shares

In January 2024, Peugeot Invest sold 1,900,000 LISI shares, representing 4.1% of the company’s share capital, for the total sum of €39.9 million, or a price of €21 per share. This partial disposal follows the reorganisation of LISI’s shareholding structure, in which Peugeot Invest contributed alongside other family shareholders back in 2023.

Following this transaction, Peugeot Invest holds c. 10% of LISI’s share capital and c. 8% of its voting rights. Represented at LISI’s Board of Directors, Peugeot Invest continues to play its role as an active shareholder by supporting the management team as well as its strategy. 

Disposal of SEB shares

In February 2024, Peugeot Invest sold 2,223,674 Groupe SEB shares, representing c. 4.02% of the company’s share capital. The transaction consisted in an institutional private placement by way of an accelerated book-building process, at a price of €106 per share for a total amount of €236 million. 

Since Peugeot Invest’s investment in 2004, the value of its stake in Groupe SEB’s share capital has increased by 4.3x, representing a 10% IRR over twenty years. 

Following this transaction, Peugeot Invest no longer holds any stake in Groupe SEB and is no longer represented in the company’s governance.

Disposal of Tikehau Capital shares

After holding its Tikehau Capital shares for eight years, Peugeot Invest announced in

March 2024 that it would sell these securities for a total amount of €58.3 million. Taking into account the disposal of its stake in Tikehau Capital Advisors in 2023, in total Peugeot Invest realised an IRR of 8% and a multiple of 1.6x over eight years. 

Co-investments
Disposal of AmaWaterways shares

In May 2024, Certares sold its stake in AmaWaterways to L Catterton. Peugeot Invest received $48 million at that time. AmaWaterways is a luxury river cruise company that targets a mostly English-speaking clientele. It is renowned for its service, its innovative ships and the experiences it offers. Since Peugeot Invest’s investment in 2017, the value of its stake has increased by 2.0x, representing an IRR of 10% over seven years.

Investment in TradingView

In April 2024, Peugeot Invest committed $20 million to TradingView’s share capital as part of a co-investment with Smash Capital and our partner Quadrille. TradingView was founded in London in 2011 and is a charting and financial data platform for retail investors. Use of the platform is based on a paid subscription model.

Investment in Springbrook

In June 2024, Peugeot Invest made a $17 million commitment to Springbrook as a coinvestment with our partner, Rothschild & Co’s FAPI fund. This company is based in the United States and has two main activities focused on US local governments: an administrative management ERP and a payment solution. The commitment will be called in the second half of 2024.

Investment and disposal of projects with ELV

Peugeot Invest works with several families in Europe to support the development of real estate projects in the USA. These projects are devised and managed by a US team of professionals within ELV Associates, which was established in 1991. These projects mainly involve residential developments, but also office and retail developments. 

In the first half of 2024, Peugeot Invest sold the 111 JWD property, a student housing project, for $4.8 million and a performance of 1.2x, and made a $6.5 million commitment to Port Malabar, a luxury residential project in Florida.

Private equity funds

Peugeot Invest continued to make new commitments on a regular basis throughout the first half of the year:

Webster VI investment

In January 2024, Peugeot Invest committed $20 million to the sixth Webster vehicle. This is a Boston-area buyout fund focused on the healthcare sector. It should be noted that Peugeot Invest has already invested $15 million in the Webster IV fund and $20 million in Webster V.  

K6 investment

K6 is a growth and growth buyout management company whose strategy is to invest in lower mid-market B2B software companies, mainly in the United States. Peugeot Invest committed $20 million after previously investing in the K4 and K5 funds.

MED Rise investment

In March 2024, Peugeot Invest committed €10 million to MED Rise, a small-cap vehicle launched by Archimed, a management company specialising in healthcare. Archimed was founded in 2014 and is primarily focused on buyout transactions, most of which are majority buyouts. The MED Rise fund rounds out the positioning adopted by Archimed, in which Peugeot Invest is a major investor with stakes in several vehicle families. 

LEA III investment

Last May, Peugeot Invest committed €15 million to LEA III. LEA Partners was founded in 2016 and specialises in B2B software. This third fund targets majority and minority control transactions. 

GRO investment

Peugeot Invest committed €5 million to GRO Generation I, a Danish vertical and horizontal B2B software fund, which we have supported since 2022 (GRO III) in the context of the panEuropean expansion of its strategy. 

OREP 2 investment

In February 2024, Peugeot Invest committed €10 million to the OREP 2 fund, of which €6.3 million was called in April. This fund is managed by OSAE, a real estate management company founded in 2018 following the spin-off of Weinberg Capital’s real estate team. Its multi-sector value-add strategy is focused on office, hotel and mixed-use assets. The company has strong expertise and an extensive network on its market. 

Analysis of profit and financial position

Consolidated profit

The consolidated net profit at 30 June 2024 stands at €306.5 million (of which €228 million group share), compared to €321.3 million in the first half of 2023. This change is due mainly to losses on the sale and revaluation at fair value of long-term shareholdings in trading portfolio, which were -€40.7 million at 30 June 2024, against a gain of €59.2 million in 2023, following the decline in the value of certain co-investments. This was partially offset by the growth of the Stellantis dividend from €300.5 million to €347.6 million. 

General administration costs were slightly higher at -€20.9 million, compared to -€19.3 million during the first half of 2023, due to the severance payment to the CEO.

The cost of financial debt for the first half of 2024 decreased to -€11.5 million, against €13.6 million in 2023, due to the decline in average debt.

Other financial income stood at €10.0 million, versus an expense of €6.3 million in 2023, and concerned exchange gains realised due to the depreciation of the euro against the US dollar and interest on cash investments.

The share of the net income of associate companies stood at €12.5 million against -€2.5 million in the first half of 2023 due to the €14.1 million impairment reversal for AmaWaterways, which was deconsolidated after its disposal. The 2023 amount was notably affected by the removal of CID and LISI from the scope of consolidation.

Tax on earnings stands at -€11.5 million (including €10 million in deferred tax credit).

Balance sheet and cash flow

The main variations affecting the consolidated balance sheet concern:

•       The decrease in investments in associate companies (equity-accounted) in the amount of €33.8 million due mainly to the disposal and deconsolidation of AmaWaterways

•       The decrease in the fair value of the non-consolidated equity securities portfolio of €955.0 million. This can be attributed mainly to the decline in the price of the shares of Stellantis (-12.6%) and Forvia (-45.9%), despite the rise in the price of the Spie share (+19.4%)

•       The €76.7 million rise in long-term shareholdings in trading portfolio. This mainly corresponds to the revaluation of the private equity funds, as well as investments in new co-investments and private equity commitments

•       The €208.1 million increase in cash due to the disposal of the Groupe SEB and Tikehau Capital shareholdings and the partial disposal of LISI

•       The variation in group share equity is -€280.6 million. This decrease in the first half of 2024 comes from comprehensive income (-€587.6 million) and the dividend paid for 2023 (-€80.7 million), included in reserves

•       The reduction in non-current financial liabilities is -€316.1 million, mainly composed of the €328 million reduction in bank loans, and the €12.4 million increase in subscription commitments.

The principal cash flows for the half-year are as follows:

•       Net cash flows from operating activities of €346.1 million versus €125.1 million at 30 June 2023. It should be noted that the Rothschild & Co transaction was included in receivables at 30 June 2023 and not yet in investing activities with a cash outflow

•       Acquisitions of financial assets of €117.1 million, corresponding mainly to our investment in TradingView and in the calls on our private equity funds and property funds

•       Sales of financial assets for the sum of €432.2 million largely due to the sale of the Tikehau Capital, LISI, SEB and AmaWaterways shares, as well as distributions from our private equity funds

•       Peugeot Invest’s reimbursement of its lines of credit for €274.4 million

•       €80.7 million of dividends paid to shareholders in 2024 for the 2023 financial year, a 14% increase.

Governance

Appointment of Jean-Charles Douin as CEO of Peugeot Invest

In anticipation of the upcoming change in Board chairmanship, held by Robert Peugeot until May 2025, the Board of Directors of Peugeot Invest decided to undertake a management transition, leading to the appointment of Jean-Charles Douin as CEO of Peugeot Invest. He is joining Peugeot Invest after 16 years at Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan where he headed up private equity activities in Europe, the Middle East and Africa. Jean-Charles Douin will take office on 28 October 2024. 

Nicolas Huet, permanent representative of Établissements Peugeot Frères to Peugeot Invest’s Board of Directors, has served as acting CEO of Peugeot Invest since 1 August 2024 and will remain in place until Jean-Charles Douin takes up his position.

Change in the composition of the Board of Directors

The Annual General Meeting of Shareholders of 24 May 2024 reappointed Sophie BanzetBérets, Armand Peugeot and Édouard Peugeot as directors and appointed two new directors to replace the outgoing directors:

•       Christine Dubus as independent director, replacing Marie-Françoise Walbaum, whose resignation took effect as of the end of the 2024 Annual General Meeting

•       Xavier Barbaro[1] as independent director, replacing Luce Gendry, whose resignation took effect as of the end of the 2024 Annual General Meeting, although she will continue to participate in the work of the Board for one year as a non-voting member.

She replaces Georges Chodron de Courcel, whose term as non-voting member expired at the 2024 Annual General Meeting.

Update to the Board of Directors’ internal rules

At its meeting of 20 September 2024, the Board of Directors adopted an update to its internal rules, the main purpose of which was to:

•       set out the company’s already effective practices for discussions not attended by corporate officers (“executive sessions”) and for the evaluation periodic, internal and external of the Board of Directors’ operations

•       increase the minimum number of shares each director must hold for their entire term from 100 to 500 (at least 300 shares no later than six months after joining the Board and 500 shares once they have been on the Board for 12 months).

Principal risks and uncertainties

The principal risk factors are detailed in the 2023 Universal Registration Document (pages 149 to 158). Political instability increased in France due to the dissolution of the National Assembly and the election of an Assembly without a majority. There were no significant developments in the nature of the other risks during the first half of 2024. 

Developments since 30 June 2024

Disposal of Transact

The co-investment in US company Transact, made in 2019 alongside Reverence Capital Partners, was sold in August to the Roper group, which specialises in industrial software. Peugeot Invest received $43 million in this transaction, i.e. a multiple of 2.7x and an IRR of 21%. 

Outlook for the second half of 2024

The geopolitical environment remained complex in the first half of the year, with the ongoing war in Ukraine, rising tensions in the Middle East and uncertainties related to the multiple elections in many countries. Macroeconomic issues remain core concerns for investors and the markets. 

In this environment, Peugeot Invest sold several of its assets under satisfactory conditions. With its significant investment capacity, Peugeot Invest will actively pursue its diversified investment strategy, targeting companies that are leaders on their market and driven by sustainable growth trends. In a more challenging automotive environment, Stellantis' share price has fallen by 25% since 30 June 2024.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements

30 June 2024

The consolidated financial statements as at 30 June 2024 and the notes to the financial statements were finalised by Peugeot Invest’s Board of Directors on 20 September 2024.

 

 Note 1. 

ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Peugeot Invest’s consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) framework as adopted by the European Union. The IFRS framework includes IFRS and IAS (International Accounting Standards) and the related interpretations as prepared by the SIC (Standing Interpretations Committee) and the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC).

The accounting policies used in preparing the financial statements for the half year ended at 30 June 2024 are the same as those used for the financial year ended 31 December 2023.

All standards, interpretations and amendments published by the IASB and endorsed by the European Union at 30 June 2024, have been applied. 

The main texts applicable from 1 January 2024 are as follows: 

-          Amendment to IAS 1 – Classification of liabilities as current or non-current

-          Amendment to IAS 1 – Non-current liabilities with covenants -    Amendment to IFRS 16 – Lease liability in a sale and leaseback -             Amendment to IAS 7 and IFRS 7 – Supplier finance arrangements.

None of these texts had a material impact on the interim financial statements.

No new standards were early applied.

The group does not expect the amendments to standards applicable as at 01/01/2024 to have a material impact.

To prepare its consolidated financial statements, Peugeot Invest makes estimates and assumptions that affect the financial statements and the information provided in certain notes to the financial statements. These estimates and assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis to take past experience and changes in the environment into account. 

Depending on the results of this review, the amounts reported in future consolidated financial statements could differ from current estimates.

The assumptions on which the main estimates and the judgement are based are explained in the following notes:

-          Note 3.2 – Changes in scope and interest percentages

-          Note 15 – Non-current financial assets

-          Note 21 – Provisions

-          Note 24 – Market risk management.

1.1. CONSOLIDATION

The scope of consolidation and changes thereto are outlined in Note 3.

A. Subsidiaries

Subsidiaries are entities over which Peugeot Invest has sole control. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to Peugeot Invest. They are recognised at acquisition cost, which corresponds to the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Intra-group transactions and balances on transactions between group companies are eliminated. The accounting policies of subsidiaries have been aligned with those of Peugeot Invest.

B. Associates

Associates are all entities over which the Group does not have control, but over which it has significant influence, which is generally the case if the group holds 20%–50% of its voting rights. Investments in associates are accounted for under the equity method, on the basis of the associates’ consolidated financial statements, and initially recognised at cost. 

The ownership percentage used for consolidation purposes is calculated by dividing the number of shares held in the associate by the associate’s total number of shares in issue minus treasury shares that are destined to be cancelled.

 

Measurement

The Group’s share in the net profit or loss of associates after the acquisition is recognised under consolidated income, and the Group’s share of other comprehensive income (with no impact on profit) after the acquisition is recognised directly in other comprehensive income. The carrying amount of the investment is adjusted to reflect cumulative changes after the acquisition.

 

Impairment

At each closing, Peugeot Invest examines whether there is an objective indication of nontemporary and substantial impairment in each of its investments in associates, such as a material change that has a negative effect on the technological, market, economic or legal environment in which each company operates. If such an indication is found, an impairment test is performed. Where the recoverable amount is lower than the carrying amount, the investment in the associate is impaired. The recoverable amount of the investment is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and value in use. Value in use may be determined on the basis of discounted estimated future cash flows where Peugeot Invest has reliable medium-term cash flow projections, based on the company’s net worth.

1.2. FINANCIAL ASSETS AND LIABILITIES INCLUDED IN THE SCOPE OF APPLICATION OF  

IFRS 9 AND IFRS 16

 

The Group classifies its financial assets (excluding investments in associates) in the following categories:

-  assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, relating to investments in non-consolidated companies;

-  assets measured at fair value through profit or loss, relating to portfolio investment securities, cash and cash equivalents;

-  assets at amortised cost, relating to loans and receivables.

The classification depends on the reasons for which the financial assets were acquired as well as their characteristics. It is determined at initial recognition.

A. Assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income
Investments in non-consolidated companies measured at fair value through other comprehensive income

This item includes shares in companies over which Peugeot Invest has neither sole control, joint control nor significant influence. These shares must have the characteristics of an equity instrument. They are classified irrevocably at the time of their acquisition. They are recognised at purchase cost including material related costs.

Measurement

At each accounting period closing, shares are measured at fair value. Changes in fair value are recognised in other comprehensive income, net of deferred tax.

The fair value of listed companies is based on the closing market share price.

Unlisted companies are valued as follows:

•       assets acquired recently, generally in the last year, are measured at cost price, except where the company’s financial variables (e.g. operations, balance sheet and liquidity) have deteriorated materially;

•       other companies are valued on the basis of:

§   discounted cash flows where possible

§   various multiples, particularly market multiples, transaction multiples or, where applicable, multiples stated in shareholder agreements signed by Peugeot Invest § with reference to net asset value.

When shares are definitively sold, the difference between the selling price and the previously recognised fair value is recognised in equity. Dividends received from these shares are recognised in the income statement under “Income from long-term investments” following the dividend payment decisions taken at the companies’ General Meetings.

B. Assets measured at fair value through profit or loss
Securities measured at fair value through the income statement

This portfolio consists mainly of units in private equity funds, shares in companies in the context of coinvestments, and diversified UCITS, which represent investments over varying timeframes, with the aim of generating a satisfactory return from them.

Subscription commitments are also reported in this item, with a balancing entry in the “Noncurrent financial liabilities” line for their par value (see sub-section D below).

Measurement

At each accounting period closing date, fair value is measured on the basis of the closing share price for listed securities, the last reported net asset value for asset management companies, or any other information that is representative of a fair value (see above “measurement of unlisted securities”).

Changes in fair value are recognised in “Income from long-term investments” net of deferred tax.

When securities measured at fair value through the income statement are sold, the difference between the selling price and the recognised fair value is recorded in “Income from long-term investments.”

C. Current financial assets
a. Other receivables

These are initially recorded at fair value then measured at amortised cost less impairment provisions, calculated on the basis of expected credit losses. The loss of value is, if applicable, recorded on the income statement.

b. Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents may include demand deposits held with banks, units in money-market funds and negotiable debt securities that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and are subject to a non-material risk of impairment in the event of an increase in interest rates. All these components are measured at fair value.

Interest income is recognised on a pro rata temporis basis using the effective interest-rate method. It is recorded under “Other financial income/expenses” on the income statement.

D. Non-current financial liabilities

Non-current financial liabilities mainly include long-term borrowings and firm commitments to subscribe to private equity funds, and lease obligations. Borrowings are initially recognised at fair value, net of transaction costs. They are subsequently recognised at amortised cost.

Commitments to subscribe to private equity funds are recorded under assets and liabilities at their par value without discounting, since discounting has no material impact.

Lease liabilities are valued at the present value of payments remaining to be made, and amortised following the payment of rents.

 

E. Derivatives

 

Peugeot Invest has hedged the risk of interest-rate movements on part of its borrowings with interest-rate swaps.

The effective portion of the change in fair value of these swaps, which meet the criteria for cash flow hedging, is taken directly to items of comprehensive income. The gain or loss resulting from the ineffective portion is taken immediately to income for the year.

Changes in the fair value of financial instruments that do not qualify as hedges are recognised in income.

To measure the fair value of hedging instruments, CVADVA impacts are deemed to be nonmaterial and so are not recognised.

19.1 Equity management policy                                                                                         

Equity management concerns equity, as defined by IFRS standards.

It is intended to secure the Group’s permanent resources to promote its development and to implement an appropriate dividend policy.

Equity is broken down into the share attributable to non-controlling interests and that attributable to equity holders of the parent.

Equity attributable to equity holders of the parent comprises Peugeot Invest’s share capital plus reserves and retained earnings resulting from the Group’s business activities. 

The distribution policy implemented by Peugeot Invest has for many years, and as far as possible, aimed to ensure a consistent and increasing dividend. 

19.2 Composition of the share capital                                                                     

Peugeot Invest’s share capital consists of 24,922,589 shares with par value of €1 each. It is fully paid up.

A. Details of the 2022, 2023 and 2024 free share allocation plans                                   

In accordance with the authorisation granted by the Annual General Meetings of 12 May 2021, 12 May 2022 and 12 May 2023, the Board of Directors of Peugeot Invest, in its meetings on 21 March 2022, 21 March 2023 and 19 March 2024, decided to set up a free share allocation plan subject to performance conditions for certain employees and corporate officers of Peugeot Invest and related companies. The free performance shares will be vested after a three-year period, with no subsequent lock-up period. The grants require beneficiaries to be continually employed within the Group or related companies during the vesting period.

Vesting is subject to performance conditions, more specifically growth in Peugeot Invest’s net asset value and ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) criteria:

-  between 31 December 2021 and 31 December 2024 for the 2022 financial year plan

-  between 31 December 2022 and 31 December 2025 for the 2023 financial year plan

-  between 31 December 2023 and 31 December 2026 for the 2024 financial year plan

B. Status of plans as at 30 June 2024                                                                                      

Staff expenses associated with each plan are measured in accordance with IFRS 2 and recognised in equity.

Plan details are as follows:

These calls correspond to commitments at their par value, without any discounting effect. 

(2)                                     The portion due in Less than 1 year is broken down as follows: €11,973 thousand due in less than three months.

STATUTORY AUDITORS’ REPORT ON THE HALFYEARLY INFORMATION

PEUGEOT INVEST

Period from January 1st 2024 to June 30th 2024

This is a free translation into English of the statutory auditors’ review report on the half-yearly financial information issued in French and is provided solely for the convenience of English-speaking users. This report includes information relating to the specific verification of information given in the Group’s half-yearly management report. This report should be read in conjunction with, and construed in accordance with, French law and professional standards applicable in France.

To the Shareholders,

In compliance with the assignment entrusted to us by the General Assembly and in accordance with the requirements of article L. 451-1-2 III of the French Monetary and Financial Code ("Code monétaire et financier"), we hereby report to you on:

• the review of the accompanying condensed half-yearly consolidated financial statements of PEUGEOT INVEST, for the period from January 1st 2024 to June 30th 2024, • the verification of the information presented in the half-yearly management report.

These condensed half-yearly consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Board of Directors. 

Our role is to express a conclusion on these financial statements based on our review.

CONCLUSION ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

image

We conducted our review in accordance with professional standards applicable in France.

A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with professional standards applicable in France and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying condensed half-yearly consolidated financial statements are not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34 - standard of the IFRSs as adopted by the European Union applicable to interim financial information.

SPECIFIC VERIFICATION

image

We have also verified the information presented in the half-yearly management report on the condensed half-yearly consolidated financial statements subject to our review. We have no matters to report as to its fair presentation and consistency with the condensed half-yearly consolidated financial statements.
