FY18 RESULTS|OUTLOOK 2019
• INITIAL ORDER COLLECTION FOR THE UPCOMING 2019 SPRING/SUMMER SEASON (AS REPORTED LAST NOVEMBER) SHOWS A REDUCTION OF -9.1% IN THE
  WHOLESALE CHANNEL, WITH THE INDUSTRIAL MARGIN INCREASING IN LINE WITH EXPECTATIONS. OVERALL, THE RATIONALIZATION PROCESS FOR THE
  WHOLESALE CHANNEL, AIMED AT SUPPORTING THE GROUP’S SOLIDITY AND IMAGE, IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE IN 2019, ALTHOUGH THIS WILL HAVE LESS OF
  AN IMPACT ON TURNOVER THAN IN THE PREVIOUS YEAR. THESE EXPECTATIONS SHOULD NONETHELESS BE CONFIRMED BY THE PERFORMANCE OF INITIAL
  ORDER COLLECTION FOR THE 2019 AUTUMN/WINTER COLLECTION, CURRENTLY ONGOING, AND BY THE ASSUMPTION THAT THERE WILL BE MORE REORDERS
  DURING THE SEASONS.

• THE MONO-BRAND STORE NETWORK IS EXPECTED TO REMAIN SUBSTANTIALLY STABLE: DIRECTLY-OPERATED STORES ARE EXPECTED TO CARRY GREATER
  WEIGHT, THANKS TO A NUMBER OF TARGETED OPENINGS (ESPECIALLY IN CHINA) AND THE CONVERSION OF A LIMITED NUMBER OF STORES THAT WERE
  PREVIOUSLY FRANCHISED, AS STATED IN THE BUSINESS PLAN THAT WILL MORE THAN COMPENSATE FOR THE CLOSURES OF A NUMBER OF NON-
  PERFORMING DOS.

• DOS PERFORMANCE TREND SLIGHTLY POSITIVE IN JAN-FEB ‘19, FUELED BY ONLINE. RETAIL EXCELLENCE PROGRAM’S IMPACT EXPECTED TO GRADUALLY
  GAIN TRACTION THROUGH THE YEAR

• THE ONGOING RESTYLING PLAN WILL CONTINUE, AIMED AT IMPROVING PERFORMANCE, WITH THE INTRODUCTION OF NEW WINDOW DISPLAYS, NEW
  ASSORTMENT STRATEGIES AND NEW POLICIES FOR IN-STORE VISUALS.

• RELEVANT PROJECTS AND INVESTMENTS IN IT WILL ALSO CONTINUE, IN LINE WITH THE BUSINESS PLAN, IN ORDER TO SUPPORT THE BUSINESS AND
  GUARANTEE A TRULY OMNICHANNEL OPERATING MODEL.

• THE INITIATIVES TO FURTHER INCREASE PRODUCTIVITY, ENSURE A LEAN ORGANIZATION AND BOOST OPERATING EFFICIENCY, WHICH HAVE ALREADY BEEN
  SUCCESSFULLY IMPLEMENTED OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS, SHALL CONTINUE IN 2019.

• THE DIRECT E-COMMERCE CHANNEL IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE TO GROW AT A STRONG PACE AND MAY ALSO BENEFIT FROM A NUMBER OF ADVANCED CRM
  TOOLS THAT HAVE BEEN LAUNCHED, MADE POSSIBLE THANKS TO AN INCREASING DEDICATED IN-HOUSE TEAM.

• INVESTMENTS IN DIGITAL COMMUNICATION WILL CONTINUE IN ORDER TO ACCELERATE A MORE MODERN PERCEPTION OF THE BRAND

BASED ON THE ABOVE, MANAGEMENT WOULD LIKE TO HIGHLIGHT HOW, UNDER THESE CHANGED BUSINESS AND MARKET CONDITIONS, OVERALL SALES
PERFORMANCE INDICATORS BASED ON INITIAL ORDER COLLECTION IN THE WHOLESALE CHANNEL ARE GRADUALLY DIMINISHING IN IMPORTANCE. IN FACT
SALES WILL INCREASINGLY DEPEND ON ACTUAL PERFORMANCE OF RE-ORDERS AND REPLENISHMENT IN THE WHOLESALE CHANNEL THROUGHOUT THE
SEASON AND ON COMPARABLE SALES OF THE MONO-BRAND NETWORK, BOTH ONLINE AND OFFLINE

ANNEXES

          14
NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARD IN FORCE FROM JAN 1 ST, 2019: IFRS 16
On January 13th, 2016, the IASB published IFRS 16 – Leases to replace IAS 17 – Leases, and the interpretations IFRIC 4 - Determining whether an Arrangement contains a Lease, SIC-15 Operating Leases—
Incentives and SIC-27 Evaluating the Substance of Transactions Involving the Legal Form of a Lease.

The new standard provides a new definition of a lease and introduces criteria based on the control (right of use) of an asset in order to distinguish between lease contracts and service provision contracts, identifying
the following determining factors: identification of the asset, the right to replace the asset, the right to obtain substantially all economic benefits from using the asset and, lastly, the right to direct the use of the asset
underlying the contract.
The standard establishes a single model for the recognition and measurement of lease contracts for the lessee, which states that leased assets, including those under operating leases, must be recognised under
assets with a corresponding entry under financial payables. On the contrary, the standard does not include significant changes for lessors.
The standard came into force on January 1St, 2019, although it was possible to apply it earlier.

Geox completed a preliminary assessment of the potential impacts of applying the new standard at the transition date (January 1St, 2019). This process was broken down into various stages, including a complete
mapping of the contracts that could potentially include a lease and the analysis of these contracts in order to ensure that they include the main significant provisions for IFRS 16 purposes.

Geox chose to apply this standard retrospectively. However, it has recorded the accumulated effect of applying the standard on shareholders’ equity at January 1St, 2019, in accordance with IFRS 16, paragraphs
C7-C13. In particular, in relation to lease contracts that were previously classified as operating leases, Geox will record:

a) financial liability, equal to the current value of future residual payments at the transition date, discounted using the incremental borrowing rate applicable at the transition date for each contract;
b) right-to-use equal to the value of the financial liability at the transition date, net of any accrued income and prepaid expenses and accrued expenses and deferred income referring to the lease and recorded in the
balance sheet at the closing date of these financial statements.

The majority of Geox’s lease contracts refer to stores. The methods used to calculate the financial liabilities and rights of use are based on the analysis of the contractual terms and conditions of each lease,
including any renewal options.

The Group has estimated that adopting IFRS 16 at the date of transition, January 1St, 2019, will lead to rights of use for approximately Euro 327 million and a financial liability of approximately Euro 326 million being
recorded.

When applying IFRS 16, Geox intends to use the exemption permitted by paragraph 5(a) and paragraph 5(b) of IFRS 16 in relation to short-term leases for the contracts with a duration of less than one year and
contracts referring to low-value assets.

Adopting the new standards will affect some income statement entries, including Ebitda and Ebit, after accounting for the depreciation of the right of use and the interest on the liability that will replace the lease
costs.

Assuming that there are no variations to the number of stores in the network at 01/01/2019, this impact is currently estimated in the range of +8/+9 percentage points with regard to EBITDA margin, +0/+0.5 points
with regard to EBIT margin and +0/-0.5 points with regard to EBT margin.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                               15
