Consolidated Revenue figures
As of 31 March 2020 the #salvatoreferragamo Group reported Total Revenues of 222 million Euros down by 30.1% at current exchange rates (-31.5% at constant exchange rates2) vs. the 317 million Euros recorded in 1Q 2019. The Group registered a solid performance in January in all its main markets, that increasingly deteriorated in February and March, first in China and Asia and progressively also in Europe, in America and in the rest of the world, following the rapid diffusion of the pandemic caused by a novel coronavirus, known as Covid-19. The consequent decisions taken by the National governments regarding prohibitions and lock-downs of the commercial activities and of the international traffic, brought to the closure of the majority of the Group's store network in those countries and to a significant reduction in traffic in the remaining stores.

Revenues by distribution channel
As of 31 March 2020, the Group's Retail network counted on a total of 652 points of sales, including 391 Directly Operated Stores (DOS) and 261 Third Party Operated Stores (TPOS) in the Wholesale and Travel Retail channel, as well as the presence in Department Stores and high-level multi-brand Specialty Stores. In 1Q 2020 the Retail distribution channel, negatively impacted by the progressive closure of the majority of the distribution network in February and March and by the significant lack of traffic in the remaining stores, posted consolidated Revenues down 28.6% (-29.4% at constant exchange rates2), showing a -28.6% at constant exchange rates and perimeter (like-for-like) vs. 1Q 2019. The Wholesale channel registered a decrease in Revenues of 32.3% (-34.8% at constant exchange rates2) vs. 1Q 2019, also penalized by the cancellation of orders, mainly in the Travel Retail channel, and further disadvantaged by the comparison with 1Q 2019 that had benefitted from the recouped shipments from 4Q 2018.

Its incidence on Revenues was down 460 basis points, moving to 58.7%, from 63.3% of 1Q 2019, mainly penalized by the unfavorable geographical mix, due to the COVID-19 pandemic spread initially in China and progressively worldwide, and to higher provisions for obsolescence.

Operating Costs
In 1Q 2020 Operating Costs decreased by 7.1% at current exchange rates (-8.0% at constant exchange rates2), to 167 million Euros, from 179 million Euros in 1Q 2019, mainly due the initial effects of the costs’ containment measures and to lower variable costs.

Covid-19 Update

At the end of 2019, a new coronavirus, known as Covid-19, was found in Wuhan, China. The #covid19 Coronavirus has spread from China into South Korea, Italy, Spain, the United States, and then the rest of the world—to the point that on 11 March 2020 the World Health Organization declared a pandemic due to the speed and extent of the epidemic. In order to contain the outbreak and protect public health, several Governments around the world, starting with the Chinese one, have gradually put in place containment and social distancing measures, shutting down non-essential retail and manufacturing operations as well as limiting international and domestic travel. These events significantly affected traffic and sales throughout the first quarter of 2020 for the #salvatoreferragamo Group across the various distribution channels starting from late January. In the Retail channel, sales were affected by the mandatory closure of directly operated stores. During each month, the Group's stores that were ordered to close accounted for 5.8% of the total in January, 11.8% in February, and 49.1% in March, respectively. Overall, in March 187 stores were closed. Third-party operated stores (TPOS) were also ordered to close, resulting in a significant impact also in wholesale channel. As you know, closure orders were extended or introduced also throughout April across several markets. In terms of logistics, the Group was forced to shut down the Sesto Fiorentino hub, which supplies markets all around the world and ships e-commerce orders in Europe. As for production operations, there were problems attributable to the mandatory closure of the plants of suppliers of raw materials and finished products as well as contract manufacturers in Italy. Executive Committee On 6 April 2020 the Board of Directors, having confirmed all the powers previously granted to the Chairman and Managing Director upon their appointment, established an Executive Committee within the Board, vesting it with the powers to monitor, oversee and support the implementation of the initiatives launched by the Company to address the emergency caused by the Covid-19 pandemic. The Executive Committee will remain in office until the end of this extraordinary situation. Costs and investments The Group continues investing in the e-commerce channel and launched the new website at the end of April. The projects and investments considered non-essential or deferrable have been postponed. Investments in communication have also been scaled back—especially in the markets most affected by closure orders. Finally, the Group immediately took action to negotiate temporary or permanent rent reductions for its directly operated stores. Personnel Starting from February, #salvatoreferragamo has extended the use of smart-working, introduced as an experiment during 2019, to the Italian and international offices of the Group in order to protect the health of employees, allowing operations to continue where possible and in line with regulatory requirements. 6 To this end, it has provided training to optimize the use of remote work tools and bolstered internal communication by leveraging the Ferragamo Together platform and creating accounts dedicated to answering all health- and business-related questions of the Group's employees. It has defined specific safety protocols that include stringent safety measures and, finally, put in place a supplemental health insurance policy for Italian employees covering symptoms associated with Covid-19. During this period, #salvatoreferragamo Group began the process to apply for state aid. Dividend In order to support the financial soundness of the Group and mitigate future economic-financial impacts, on 6 April 2020 the Board of Directors resolved to withdraw the proposal for the distribution of dividends out of #salvatoreferragamo S.p.A.'s profits for the year 2019.

The Management of the Company confirms its medium-long term goals, continuing to pursue the reinforcement of the competitive positioning of the #salvatoreferragamo Group among the leaders in the luxury market. The enhancement of creativity, glamour, Italian craftmanship excellence and a consolidated tradition in shoes and accessories remain the founding values of the company’s strategy. Given the uncertainty resulting from the rapid evolution of the Coronavirus, Covid-19, and the difficulties in predicting the resolution times at global level, the Management of the Company does not trust to formulate reliable forecasts regarding the sales performance in the various markets and distribution channels for the current year. In this context, in order to mitigate the negative effects for the Group, which could derive from the crisis generated by the pandemic, the management has begun to implement several concrete actions to contain expenses and investments. These actions include a continuous and consistent efficiency of all costs, an in-depth and constant control on the opportunity to maintain certain expenses, as well as limiting the investments exclusively to those projects that are considered essential in the actual context.
