The increase in intangible assets reflects the acquisition of Stone Island; more specifically, the increase in the items Brands, Oth- er intangible assets and Goodwill is due to the recognition of the Stone Island brand, the order backlog and the goodwill arising from the mentioned Purchase Price Allocation. The order backlog was fully amortised during the year.
The increase in the caption software and assets in progress and advances pertained to the investments in information tech- nology to support the business and the corporate functions and for the e-commerce internalization project.
Please refer to the Directors report for additional informa- tion related to investments made during the year.
5.2 IMPAIRMENT OF INTANGIBLE ASSETS WITH AN INDEFINITE USEFUL LIFE AND GOODWILL
The captions Brands, Other intangible fi xed assets with an indefi nite useful life and Goodwill deriving from pre- vious acquisitions have not been amortised, but have been tested for impairment by management.
The impairment tests on the Moncler brand and on the Stone Is- land brand were performed by comparing its carrying value with that derived from the discounted cash flow method applying the Royalty Relief Method, based on which the cash flows are linked to the recognition of a royalty percentage applied to revenues that the brand is able to generate.
The recoverable amount of Moncler goodwill and of Stone Island goodwill have been tested based on the asset side ap- proach which compares the value in use of the cash-generating unit with the carrying amount of its net invested capital.
For the 2021 valuation, the expected cash flows and reve- nues are based on the 2022-2024 Business Plan approved by the Board of Directors on 24 february 2022 and for 2025-2026 on the basis of management estimates consistent with the expected de- velopment plans.
The g rate used was 2.5%. The discount rate was calculated using the Weighted Av-
erage Cost of Capital (WACC), by weighting the expected rate of return on invested capital, net of hedging costs from a sample of companies within the same industry. The calculation took into ac- count fluctuation in the market as compared to the previous year and the resulting impact on interest rates. The weighted average cost of capital (WACC) was calculated at 8%.
The results of the sensitivity analysis indicated that the car- rying amount of the Moncler brand is in line with the benchmark with a g rate = 0% and WACC = 87.7% and the carrying amount of the Stone Island brand with a g rate = 0% and WACC = 8.1%
Similarly, the same sensitivity analysis applied to the group of cash-generating unit Moncler and to the cash-generating unit Stone Island shows a full recovery considering changes in param- eters still higher than those indicated for the brands, confirming the wide recoverability of goodwill.
It is also underlined that the market capitalisation of the Company, based on the average price of Moncler share in 2021, showed a significant positive difference with respect to the Group net equity, confirming again the value of the goodwill.
