Net financial position
The net financial position of the Holdings System determined applying the shortened consolidation criterion provides the best presentation of the financial resources and commitments directly attributable to and managed by EXOR.
Using the shortened consolidation criterion adopted by EXOR rather than the line-by-line method of consolidation required by law and under IFRS, the data derived from the financial statements or accounting data prepared in accordance with IFRS by EXOR and by the subsidiaries constituting the Holdings System: EXOR Nederland N.V. (the Netherlands); EXOR S.A. (Luxemburg); Ancom USA Inc. (USA); Exor SN LLC (USA); Exor Capital DAC (Ireland); Exor Investments Limited (United Kingdom); Exor Investment (UK) LLP (United Kingdom) are consolidated in the financial statements of the parent company EXOR using the line-by-line method while the data derived from the financial statements or accounting data prepared in accordance with IFRS by the operating subsidiaries and associates (FCA, PartnerRe, CNH Industrial, Ferrari, The Economist Group, Juventus Football Club and Welltec) are included in the financial statements of the parent company EXOR using the equity method. The financial community is familiar with this information which facilitates analysis of the financial position and results of EXOR. The total financial assets and total financial liabilities set out in the table correspond to the total financial assets and total financial liabilities of the Holdings System. The net balance of these items represents the consolidated net financial position of the Holdings System.
