Introduction

The Half year financial report at 30 June 2014, prepared pursuant to para. 2 of Art. 154-ter of the Consolidated Finance Law, comprises this interim report on operations, the condensed interim consolidated financial statements and the statement required by para. 5 of Art. 154-bis of the Consolidated Finance Law. The condensed interim consolidated financial statements, prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and, more specifically, with IAS 34 – Interim Financial Reporting, have been subjected to a limited examination by Reconta Ernst & Young S.p.A. The consolidation principles and measurement criteria are consistent with those reported in the consolidated financial statements at 31 December 2013. All the amounts presented below are stated in millions of euro, and the comparisons made (in brackets) relate to information for the corresponding period in the prior year. Percentages (margins and changes) are determined with reference to amounts stated in thousands of euro. Totals are calculated with reference to amounts stated in euro. The Group reporting to Indesit Company S.p.A. is hereafter referred to as “Indesit Company” or "Indesit" or simply the “Group”; when the commentary relates to the parent company or individual subsidiaries, their names and legal form are stated in full. The amounts presented at constant exchange rates with respect to 2013 were estimated by taking account of the transaction effects and the effect of translating to euro (the Group's functional currency) the operations reported in foreign currency financial statements. Certain economic information presented below by the Group makes reference to intermediate indicators of profitability, such as EBITDA (gross operating profit). Management believes that this indicator is an important parameter for monitoring and measuring the Group's operating performance, since it is not influenced by the effects of differing criteria for the determination of taxable income, or by the related depreciation policies. Nevertheless, EBITDA is not identified as an accounting measure in the IFRS endorsed by the European Commission. Consequently, the criteria applied for determining this indicator might not be consistent with those adopted by other groups or companies and, accordingly, its value might not be comparable with that determined by them.

Consolidated results

Revenue

Group revenue for the second quarter of 2014 was 624.2 million euro (648.5 million euro), down by 3.8% with respect to the same period in 2013. Revenue for finished products in particular decreased by 4.2% as a result of the decline in sales volumes and the negative trend in currencies (except for the British pound). The price/mix contributed positively, during the course of the quarter, in balancing out these negative effects. Revenue from services was 1.5% higher.

Operating profitability

EBIT, with reference both to the quarterly and to the Half yearly figures, reveals similar evolutionary dynamics. The significant improvement compared to 2013 is due to the considerable performance of the price/mix and the incessant activity of reducing the purchasing and production costs, in addition to the lesser impact of the recorded non-recurring net expenses compared to 2013. Negative effects on the operating margin were determined by the reduction in sales volumes in some significant markets for Indesit and by the unfavorable trend of the major currencies in which the Group operates.

This trend is due to an increase in sales volumes and the appreciation of the British pound against the Euro Revenue from sales increased by 0.7% in the first half of 2014 compared to the first half of 2013. The dynamics of the half were basically in line with those of the second quarter, with a contribution in the negative price/mix largely attributable to the first quarter.

Operating Margin % Profitability in Western Europe in the second quarter of 2014 almost doubled compared with the same period in 2013. This result was helped by major savings in the costs of goods sold, in addition to the positive trend recorded by the British pound. Negative affects on the profitability of the Area were caused substantially by the price/mix. The profitability of the Area during the first half of 2014 was basically in line with that for the second quarter.

Revenue from sales in the half of 2014 suffered a sharp decline compared to the same period of 2013, amounting to -15.9%, reflecting the dynamics of the second quarter.

Operating Margin % The operating profit generated by the Area in the second quarter of 2014 is basically in line, in absolute value, with the same period in 2013 and an improvement in percentage terms. Positive effects such as the improvement in the price/mix, savings in the cost of goods sold and lower non-recurring costs were offset by the negative effect caused by the currencies and by lower sales volumes. The operating profit generated by the Area in the half of 2014, compared to 2013, experienced a slight decrease in absolute value and is stable in percentage terms due to lower volumes while, as well as in the first quarter, the heavy negative currency effect was completely offset by a positive price mix.

The Area recorded a significant increase in sales volumes, offset by the negative impact of the currencies (in particular the Argentine Peso) and the price/mix. In the first half, revenues were up 4.9% compared to 2013, with the same factors present in the second quarter.

Non-recurring items

Net non-recurring charges amounted to 0.9 million euro during the second quarter (net charges of 12.2 million euro), and to 1.3 million euro during the half (net charges of 10.5 million euro). The reduction is due to the costs for the consensual termination of executives involved in the reorganization implemented in the second quarter of 2013.

Net profit Net financial charges amounted to 11.8 million euro (18.5 million euro) during the second quarter of 2014. This reduction is due to a lower impact of exchange rate differences, compared to the same period in 2013, and to a lower incidence of the cost of debt. Net financial charges amounted to 29.9 million euro (23.2 million euro) during the first half of 2014. The increased costs are primarily related to exchange rate fluctuations recorded during the period, with particular reference to the currencies of emerging markets. The pre-tax profit for the half of 2014, 3.6 million euro, was subjected to corporate income tax for 4.5 million euro (taxes for 8.8 million euro). The consolidated net profit for the second quarter of 2014 was 5.3 million euro (loss of 21.2 million euro). The consolidated net loss for the half of 2014 was 0.9 million euro (loss of 17.2 million euro).

The Free Cash Flow absorbed was 172.2 million euro (263.5 million euro), resulting in an increase in net borrowing by the same amount since 31 December 2013. The improvement compared to 2013 is primarily attributable to the increased generation of EBITDA and the lower absorption by the net working capital. In addition, Free Cash Flow has benefited from the absence of payment of dividends .

6 For operational reasons, the schedule of Free Cash Flow classifies certain captions (translation reserve, remeasurement reserve, assets available for sale and certain provisions) differently with respect to the consolidated statements presented in the condensed Half year financial statements.

Significant events during the first half of 2014 and subsequent to period end

Starting from 1/1/2014 the Group as a result of the revision of the invoice flows and the evolution of functional and risk profiles of the various companies of the group, has adopted a new transfer pricing policy to adjust intercompany transactions and ensure that these continue to be regulated at market conditions, ie conditions similar to those offered to non-related parties. In June 2014 the Group repaid the bond (USPP) in full and in advance, including the installments due in September 2014 and in September 2016, for an amount of approx. 145 million euro. On 10 July 2014, Whirlpool Corporation and Fineldo S.p.A. (a holding company whose holdings include a controlling stake in Indesit Company SpA) announced that they had signed an agreement for the sale of the stake held by Fineldo in Indesit Company SpA. Whirlpool Corporation also signed further agreements with some members of the Merloni family for the purchase of the shares they held in Indesit. Under these agreements, Whirlpool would acquire a total number of shares representing 66.8% of the voting rights. The acquisition of the control of Indesit is subject to the authorization of the Court of Ancona and the antitrust authorities and is expected to be concluded by the end of 2014. At present, and based on the information available to the Board of Directors such agreements do not produce effects that should be reflected in the financial and economic situation of the Indesit Group as at 30 June 2014. There have not been any other significant events subsequent to the end of the period.

Meeting, a Board of Directors, a Board of Statutory Auditors and Independent Auditors. The directors and officers are appointed at the Shareholders' Meeting and remain in office for a period of three years. The significant presence of Independent Directors, as defined in the Code, and the important role they play on both the Board and Board Committees (Human Resources Committee, Audit Committee, Strategic Development Committee and Related-party transactions Committee), ensures that the interests of all shareholders are appropriately balanced and guarantees a high level of discussion at Board meetings.

Outlook for 2014 and forecast for operations

Although during the first half of the year, the Euro has appreciated significantly against the Russian ruble, Hryvna and Turkish lira, the actions of selective increase in prices should allow Indesit undertaken to achieve, in the current year, a level of sales in line with 2013. The Group, in the light of the above the activity of containment of production costs, is estimated to achieve an operating profit (Operating Margin net of non recurring items and EBIT adjusted), which stands at around 3.5%.

Indesit Company is a Group led by Indesit Company S.p.A., an Italian company based in Fabriano (Italy) that is listed on the Milan Stock Exchange. The Group is active in the production and sale of white goods, namely household appliances for the cooking sector (cookers, ovens and hobs), the cooling sector (refrigerators and freezers), and the washing sector (washing machines, combined washer-dryers, dryers and dishwashers). From 2013, the Group also sells small domestic appliances. Indesit identifies the Group as its sole operating segment pursuant to IFRS 8. Consistent with para. 33 of IFRS 8, information is provided about the geographical areas in which the Group operates. It should be noted that due to the cyclical nature of the Household Appliance sector, revenues and operating profit are higher in the second half of the year.

2. Approval of the consolidated Half year financial report at 30 June 2014

The consolidated Half year financial report at 30 June 2014 was approved by the Board of Directors on 30 July 2014. The attached condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been subjected to a limited examination by the auditing firm.

3. Declaration of compliance with international accounting standards and basis of presentation

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in compliance with IAS 34 and the requirements of art.154-ter of Decree 58 dated 24 February 1998 (Consolidated Finance Law) and subsequent amendments. They do not include all the information required for annual financial statements and should be read together with the consolidated financial statements as of 31 December 2013. In particular, the income statement, the statement of comprehensive income, the statement of financial position, the cash flow statement and the statement of changes in equity are presented in extended form, using the formats adopted for the consolidated financial statements at 31 December 2013. On the other hand, the following notes are presented in summary form and, accordingly, do not include all the information required for annual financial statements. In particular, as envisaged by IAS 34 in order to avoid repeating the information already published, the explanatory notes relate solely to those elements of the income statement, the statement of comprehensive income, the statement of financial position, the cash flow statement and the statement of changes in equity whose content or change, in terms of nature or amount or because unusual, must be known in order to understand the economic and financial position of the Group. The condensed interim consolidated financial statements at 30 June 2014 comprise the income statement, the statement of comprehensive income, the

2014 Half Year Financial Report – Explanatory notes

33

statement of financial position, the cash flow statement, the statement of changes in equity and these notes. The comparative figures presented in the statement of financial position and the cash flow statement include those at 30 June 2013 for the statement of financial position and at 31 December 2013 for the cash flow statement, together with those required by IAS 34 (31 December 2013 for the statement of financial position and 30 June 2013 for the cash flow statement). This decision was made to permit the consistent comparison of data that is significantly affected by the seasonality of the sector. The income statement presents figures for the first half of 2014 and the first half of 2013, since the Group has adopted the six-month period for interim reference purposes. The consolidated income statement is classified with reference to the reasons for which costs were incurred, the statement of financial position distinguishes between current and non-current assets and liabilities, the cash flow statement is presented using the indirect method, and the Statement of Changes in Equity format has been adopted. In addition, a separate consolidated statement of comprehensive income is presented. This statement comprises the various components forming the results for the period, together with the income and charges deriving from transactions not carried out with owners that were recognized directly in equity. The transactions carried out with owners are presented in the statement of changes in equity, together with the equity transactions reported in the statement of comprehensive income. The format adopted for the classification of the consolidated income statement was chosen to help the market understand more clearly the profitability of the Group; in particular, performance can be measured better with reference to the profit and cost centers used for the allocation of income and expenses. Additionally, this format assures the provision of precise segment information that is consistent with the way results are normally measured for management accounting purposes. This approach also ensures greater comparability with direct competitors and the multinationals operating in related sectors, since classification of the income statement by purpose is the format most widely used in international practice. In addition, the notes provide information on the nature of expenditure and the other disclosures necessary for the market, investors and all stakeholders. With reference to the calculation of taxes in interim financial statements, the Group uses the criterion of calculation according to the effective year to date as the best estimate of the actual annual taxation.

4. Accounting policies 4.1 Basis of preparation and accounting policies adopted

The consolidation principles and measurement criteria are consistent with those reported in the consolidated financial statements at 31 December 2013.

Basis of preparation The currency of presentation of the condensed interim consolidated financial statements is the euro, and the financial statement balances are expressed in millions of euro (except where stated otherwise). The condensed interim consolidated financial statements are prepared on an historical cost basis, except for derivative financial instruments, financial assets held for sale and financial instruments classified as available for sale, which are stated at their fair value. They also presume business continuity, which the Group believes to be reasonably certain. The accounting policies are applied on a consistent basis by all Group

2014 Half Year Financial Report – Explanatory notes

34

companies. There are no financial assets held to maturity. Financial transactions are recorded with reference to the trade date. The accounting policies adopted for the preparation of the condensed interim consolidated financial statements at 30 June 2014 have also been applied on a consistent basis to all the comparative financial information.

Accounting estimates

The preparation of the condensed interim consolidated financial statements involves making assumptions and estimates that affect the value of assets and liabilities and the related explanatory information, as well as the value of contingent assets and liabilities at the reporting date. These estimates are used to measure the property, plant and equipment and intangible assets subject to impairment, as well as to recognize provisions for doubtful accounts, inventory obsolescence, depreciation and amortization and the write-down of assets, employee benefits, taxation, and risks and charges. The estimates and underlying assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors believed reasonable at the time. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed regularly and, if later estimates differ from those made initially, the effects - which obviously cannot be estimated or forecast at this time - are immediately reflected in the income statement. If the changes in estimate relate to both the current and future periods, their effects are reflected in the income statements for the periods concerned.

4.2 Amendments and revised accounting standards applied for the first time by the Group

Investment entities - Amendments to IFRS 10, IFRS 12 and IAS 27

These amendments provide an exception to the consolidation for entities that fall within the definition of investment entities pursuant to IFRS 10 - Consolidated Financial Statements. This exception to the consolidation requires that the investment entities evaluate subsidiaries at their fair value acknowledged in the income statement. These amendments have had no impact on the Group. Offsetting financial assets and financial liabilities - Amendments to IAS 32 These amendments clarify the meaning of "currently has a legally enforceable right to compensate" and the criterion of compensation in the case of settlement systems (such as central clearing houses) which apply non-simultaneous gross settlement mechanisms. These amendments have had no effect on the financial statements of the Group. Novation of derivatives and continuation of hedge accounting - Amendments to IAS 39 These amendments allow the continuation of hedge accounting when the novation of a hedge derivative meets certain criteria. These amendments have had no impact as the Group has not replaced its derivatives either in the current year or in prior years. IFRIC 21 Taxes IFRIC 21 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2014 and applies retrospectively. It is applicable to all payments imposed by law by the Government other than those already covered by other standards (eg IAS 12 income taxes) and those for fines or other penalties for breaches of the law. The interpretation clarifies that an entity recognizes a liability at the earliest

2014 Half Year Financial Report – Explanatory notes

35

upon occurrence of the event that is related to the payment, in accordance with applicable law. The interpretation also clarifies that the liability matures gradually only if the event to which the payment is related occurs over a period of time provided for by the law. For payments that are due only on exceeding a certain minimum threshold, the liability is recorded only on reaching this threshold. The interpretation requires these principles to be applied also to interim financial statements. Additional information on the recoverable value of non-financial assets - Amendments to IAS 36 These amendments remove the consequences inadvertently introduced by IFRS 13 about the disclosures required by IAS 36. Moreover, these changes require information on the recoverable amount of the asset or CGU to which was recognized during the year or "reversed" impairment (impairment losses).

5. Reclassifications

In 2013, the current and the non-current portions of the tax credits relating to the Polish Special Economic Zone (incentives for the construction of factories) have been reallocated among the deferred tax assets, with an according reclassification of the opening financial position. It should also be noted that, in order to provide a better economic representation, the costs of installation and the special consumption tax referring to the turkish market have been reclassified within the income statement. The increase in sales and cost of sales for the SCT, in relation to the first two quarters of 2013, respectively, equal to 1.4 million euro and 2.0 million euro. The decrease in cost of sales and the increase in selling and distribution expenses for the cost of installation, in relation to the first two quarters of 2013 amounted respectively to 0.5 million euro and 0.8 million euro.

6. Changes in the scope of consolidation

Except for the above, there were no other changes in the scope of consolidation during the first semester.

It should be noted that, following the review of strategic plans and business to support the brand with a finite life Cannon, management has restated its useful life ranging from 10 to 18 years. The restatement resulted in the impact, on an annual basis, to lower depreciation and amortization of 1.3 million of British Pound. This decision was taken because the brand has recorded than expected, an improvement in terms of market position and sales volumes.

8.11. Inventories

Inventories are analyzed as follows:

(milioni di Euro) June 30th, 2014 Dec. 31st, 2013 June 30th, 2013

Raw materials 104.1 108.5 127.9

Total spare parts 28.2 27.2 29.1

Total inventories 378.4 302.4 403.0 Inventories have decreased overall by 24.6 million euro since the same date in the prior year. In particular, the change in inventories of finished products since 30 June 2013 reflects differences in the different mix of sales and sales forecasts in the various markets where the Group operates where there is a lower incidence of obsolescence provision. The provision for inventories at 30 June 2014 totals 12.5 million euro (17.5 million euro), following net provisions during the period of 2.2 million euro (provision of 0.6 million euro in the first half of 2013).

8.12. Trade receivables

Trade receivables comprise amounts due from customers as a result of commercial transactions and the provision of services, stated net of the allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts totals 28.3 million euro (30.7 million euro) at 30 June 2014, following net provisions during the period of 6.0 million euro (provision of 4.0 million euro). Trade receivables are analyzed below:

(million euro) June 30th, 2014 Dec. 31st, 2013 June 30th, 2013

Trade receivables 518.4 453.2 559.9

Allowance for doubtful accounts (28.3) (26.7) (30.7)

Net trade receivables 490.2 426.5 529.2 As part of the diversification of sources of finance, during the year the Group sold trade receivables in the UK and Poland and maintained the securitization program. The securitization involves the without-recourse sale of trade receivables, on a revolving basis, by the Parent Company and by Indesit Company France Sa. The receivables are acquired by vehicle companies, which are financed by the issue of securities whose repayment is guaranteed by the cash flows generated by the portfolio of receivables sold (asset-backed securities). There are two classes of asset-backed security: the senior securities are placed in the market and subscribed for by institutional investors; the junior securities, whose repayment is subordinated to that of the senior securities, are taken up by the Group. Consistent with SIC 12: Consolidation – Special-purpose entities (“SPE”), the Group consolidates vehicle companies on a line-by-line basis, even though it has no equity interest in them and does not exercise any form of control over their administrative bodies. The net financial liabilities to third parties of the consolidated vehicle companies amount to 58.9 million euro at 30 June 2014, comprising senior securities issued on the ABS market, 93.0 million euro, net of the cash held by them, 34.1 million euro. At the same date, the liability of Group operating companies to vehicle companies for receivables sold but not yet collected amounts to 97.0 million euro, while their financial receivables represented by junior securities total 35.4 million euro. The without-recourse sale of UK and Polish receivables reduced trade receivables by 28.4 million euro, being the amount sold but not collected by 30 June 2014.

8.13. Other receivables and current assets

The description of, changes in and restrictions applying to the principal equity reserves are described below. The detailed analysis of these changes is presented in a separate schedule. Reserves: The share premium reserve amounts to 35.9 million euro. The legal reserve, 22.7 million euro, reflects allocation of 5% of the Parent Company's net profit each year. The cumulative translation adjustment or translation reserve is negative by 155.9 million euro, reflecting the exchange differences arising on the translation of foreign currency financial statements. The net reduction in the negative translation reserve during the first half of 2014 was 14.6 million euro. The negative remeasurement reserve amounts to 90.8 million euro. Other reserves amounted to 14.3 million euro consisting mainly of reserves relating to contributions on account of capital (art. 14 Law 64/68, Law 488/92, Law 308/82, Law 218/78 Law 219/81). Retained earnings amount to 563.4 million euro and have increased by 3.2 million euro on allocation of the parent company's net profit for 2013. With reference to the amounts reported in the Consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the cash flow reserve, which will affect the following income statements, increased by 3.5 million euro.

In addition to the financial covenants, the committed lines of credit require Indesit Company S.p.A. and, in certain cases, a number of Group companies to comply with other affirmative and negative covenants that are consistent with market standards for transactions of a similar nature, amount, maturity and risk profile.

2014 Half Year Financial Report – Explanatory notes

Failure to comply with these covenants would, following the elapse of a given period of time available to correct such non-compliance, give the counterparts a right to require the early repayment of the related borrowings. The above parameters are monitored constantly by the Group and, as of 30 June 2014, all the covenants have been respected.

The ―deficit‖ related to pension funds of the British Society accounted for in accordance with IFRS turns out to be less than the ―deficit‖ arising from the calculation provided for in the English Pension Act. The Group is committed to fill this "deficit" through annual contributions of 8.4 million of euro. Indesit also has determined that, based on the terms of the plan, the non-application of the 'IFRIC 14 has no impact on the balance sheet.

9. Financial instruments 9.1 Management of financial risks

The Group is exposed to the following principal financial risks deriving from operations:

liquidity risk (availability and access to financial resources);

market risk (exchange rates, interest rates, commodity prices);

credit risk (with commercial and financial counterparts).

Liquidity, market and financial counterpart credit risks are managed by the Central Treasury Department in accordance with the Group Treasury Policy approved by the Board of Directors. Group strategy is to minimize the exposure to risk and, accordingly, it is forbidden to take positions that might generate risks that are not strictly correlated with normal business activities (e.g. transactions in currencies other than the functional currencies). In this context and in order to appropriately segregate duties, the Group has allocated skills and responsibilities between the Treasury Front Office and the Treasury Back Office, which is functionally and hierarchically separated from the Front Office. The Front Office is mainly responsible for managing liquidity, identifying

exposures to risk and negotiating hedges with financial counterparts. The Back Office checks compliance with Treasury Policy and is responsible for the accounting measurement and recognition of hedging instruments. Credit risk related to commercial counterparts is managed by a Group credit policy which defines:

the principles underlying credit assessment and the procedures for establishing specific credit limits in each geographical area or country in which the Group works, and the credit control methodology applied;

the levels of authority for granting credit, based on the progressive involvement of market, commercial area and corporate managers (up to CFO and CEO), in proportion to the increasing amount of credit granted and risk incurred.

As required by IFRS 7, the following qualitative and quantitative information is provided about the impact of these risks on the Group. With regard to the various market risks, the quantitative data from the sensitivity analyses has no value for forecasting purposes and cannot reflect the complexity of the market reactions correlated with each change in the assumptions made.

9.2 Transactions outstanding at period end

The transactions outstanding at 30 June 2014 and their fair values are reported in the following table, which also indicates the change in the value of the underlyings (where applicable). This is followed by detailed information on the individual transactions.

2014 Half Year Financial Report – Explanatory notes

56

The currency options recognised as cash flow hedges were purchased principally to hedge the risk of an appreciation of the Euro against the UK pound and of the Polish Zloty against the Euro. The hedged exchange risks mainly relate to highly likely future transactions expected to take place within one year, with the consequent release of the cash flow reserve to the income statement. The float-to-fix Interest Rate Swaps have been designated as cash flow hedges of the interest-rate risk on part of the short-term loans, the use of which is expected to be equivalent to such Interest Rate Swaps in terms of their nominal value and maturities. The interest-rate hedges outstanding at 30 June 2014 comprise IRS with a total notional of 200.0 million euro. These hedge the interest-rate risk on an average of about 200.0 million euro of underlying payables (short term) with the following maturities:

150.0 million euro from 17 March 2014 to 17 March 2015;

50.0 million euro from 17 March 2012 to 17 March 2015. The forwards, designated as cash flow hedges, were arranged to hedge the exchange-rate risk on highly likely future transactions, and the price risk on highly likely future purchases of commodities and semi-finished products. The cross currency swap arranged to hedge the interest-rate and exchange-rate risks deriving from commitments in relation to the US private placement of bonds was concluded simultaneously with the reimbursement of the underlying hedge. The interest-rate swap relates to the euro tranche of the US private placement, and was arranged to hedge the interest-rate risk that was concluded simultaneously with the closure of the underlying hedge. The forwards not recognized as cash flow hedges were arranged to hedge exchange-rate risk. With regard to the derivative instruments outstanding at 30 June 2014:

all the financial instruments measured at fair value are represented by Level 2 derivatives (same as in 2013);

there were no transfers from Level 1 to Level 2, or vice versa, during 2014;

there were no transfers from Level 3 to other Levels, or vice versa, during 2014.

The fair value of each instrument is calculated as follows:

the fair value of currency forwards is calculated considering the exchange rate and the interest rates in the two currencies at the reporting date;

the fair value of currency options is calculated using the Black-Scholes model and market parameters at the reporting date (exchange rates, interest rates and volatilities of the currencies);

2014 Half Year Financial Report - Explanatory notes

57

the fair value of interest-rate swaps and forward-rate agreements is calculated considering the interest rates at the reporting date and using DCF techniques;

the fair value of cross currency swaps is calculated considering the exchange rate and the interest rates at the reporting date and using DCF techniques;

the fair value of commodity forwards is determined considering the forward price for the commodity and the interest rates at the reporting date (and the exchange rate at the reporting date, if the hedge includes the exchange rate).

Determination of the fair value of derivatives takes account of the credit risk relating to individual banking counterparts and the risk of non-performance by the Indesit Group (own credit risk), as required by IFRS 13. A credit risk adjustment is applied to the market values determined using the valuation techniques described. This considers the probability of default extrapolated from the market CDS spreads for banking counterparts and the credit spreads implied by the yields on a basket of corporate bonds with the same rating as that of the Group, estimated using internal valuation models. With reference to the valuations carried out at 30 June 2014, the size of this adjustment with respect to risk-free market values is limited due to the short residual duration of the derivative positions outstanding at year end. Based on the current wording of IAS 39, the application of a credit risk adjustment when calculating the fair value of derivatives represents a source of ineffectiveness (although not significant for the Group) in the hedging relationships recognized for hedge accounting purposes. This is because the adjustment is only calculated with reference to the derivative instruments concerned and is not reflected in the valuation of the related underlyings.

Auditors’ review report on the interim condensed consolidated financial statements(Translation from the original Italian text)

To the Shareholders ofIndesit Company S.p.A.

1. We have reviewed the interim condensed consolidated financial statements, comprisingthe balance sheet, the income statement, the statement of comprehensive income, thestatement of changes in equity, the cash flow statement and the related explanatorynotes, of Indesit Company S.p.A. and its subsidiaries (the “Indesit Company Group”) asof June 30, 2014. Management of Indesit Company S.p.A. is responsible for thepreparation of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements in conformitywith the International Financial Reporting Standards applicable to interim financialreporting (IAS 34) as adopted by the European Union. Our responsibility is to issue thisreview report based on our review.

2. We conducted our review in accordance with review standards recommended byConsob (the Italian Stock Exchange Regulatory Agency) in its Resolution no. 10867 ofJuly 31, 1997. Our review consisted mainly of obtaining information on the accountsincluded in the interim condensed consolidated financial statements and theconsistency of the accounting principles applied, through discussions withmanagement, and of applying analytical procedures to the financial data presented inthese consolidated financial statements. Our review did not include the application ofaudit procedures such as tests of compliance and substantive procedures on assets andliabilities and was substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance withgenerally accepted auditing standards. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinionon the interim condensed consolidated financial statements as we expressed on theannual consolidated financial statements.

With respect to the consolidated financial statements of the prior year and the interimcondensed consolidated financial statements of the corresponding period of the prioryear, presented for comparative purposes reference should be made to our reportsissued on April 1, 2014 and on July 31, 2013, respectively.

3. Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe thatthe interim condensed consolidated financial statements of Indesit Company Group asof June 30, 2014 are not prepared, in all material respects, in conformity with theInternational Financial Reporting Standards applicable to interim financial reporting(IAS 34) as adopted by the European Union.
