The main changes to the W.A.C.C. utilised for the impairment test on the previous year were:
Writefine Products Private Limited – The W.A.C.C. is 13.20% (15.0% at December 31,
2015), altering on the previous year both due to the reduction in the capital yield component
(Ke), principally against the contraction of the business risk ratios (beta levered) and the risk-
free rate, due to the reduction in the cost of debt (Kd), also impacted by the reduction in the
applied risk-free rates;
Dixon Group - Central/South America - the discount rate is 11.23% (8.93% at December 31,
2015), increasing on the previous year due to instability in the South American countries,
resulting in a deterioration of the risk factors related to the Ke and an increase in the cost of
debt (Kd). In particular, the cost of capital (Ke) significantly deteriorated, both for the market
risk premium component and the inflation
differential applied;
Dixon Group North America - The W.A.C.C. utilised is 7.66% (7.16% at December 31,
2015). The discount factor increased on the previous year, principally due to an increase in
the market risk premium utilised for the calculation of the investor expected yield (Ke). The
beta levered, country risk and cost of debt assumptions remain stable against a gradual
recovery of the
US economy;

Industria Maimeri S.p.A. (Italy) – the rate utilised was 7.57% (9.46% at December 31, 2015).
The change in the year is substantially due to the contraction of the country risk component
utilised to calculate the cost of capital (Ke) and the reduction in the cost of debt (Kd);
Omyacolor S.A. (France) – The W.A.C.C. is 6.50% (6.72% at December 31, 2015). The
change on the previous year is principally due to a slight contraction
both in the cost of capital
(Ke), principally in the risk-free and
country risk component, and the cost of debt (Kd);
Lyra Group – the discount rate utilised was 6.24% (5.82% at December 31, 2015). The
change on the previous year is due to a slight increase in the market risk premium applied in
the estimate of the cost of capital yield (Ke);
Omyacolor S.A. (South Africa) – The W.A.C.C. is 14.11% (15.60% at December 31, 2015).
The contraction of the discount rate utilised for the purposes of the impairment test
principally concerns the reduction
in the risk free rate utilised;
Licyn Mercantil Industrial Ltda (Brazil) – Discount rate equal to 14.41% (10.20% at
December 31, 2015). The increase in the W.A.C.C. on the previous year is due to a
substantial deterioration of the country risk component, reflecting the instability of the local
political-economic system.
Based on the “impairment test” undertaken, no “impairment losses” arose on the value of the
Goodwill recognised in the financial statements at December 31, 2016.
Further complementary analysis was also undertaken such as:
a sensitivity analysis, in order to verify the recoverability of the goodwill against the
possibility of changes in the base assumptions utilised for the calculation of the discounted
cash flows (assuming changes of +0.5% and -0.5% in the W.A.C.C. rate and the g rate);
the comparison between the value in use of the CGU for 2016 and 2015 with the analysis of
the
variations;
reasonableness test between the overall value in use at Group level and the stock market
capitalisation.
The above-mentioned analysis also confirmed the full recoverability of the goodwill and the
reasonableness of the assumptions utilised.
The cash flows and assumptions used for the Impairment Test were approved by the Board of
Directors on March 16, 2017.
