A significant portion of the Group’s revenue and costs are denominated in currencies other than the Euro. Consequently, a significant portion of its revenue and costs is exposed to fluctuations in the exchange rates between the Euro and other currencies. The Group uses forward exchange contracts (known in Italy as domestic currency swaps) to reduce its exposure to the risks of short-term decrease in the value of its foreign currency denominated revenue. The Group uses such derivative instruments to protect the value of its foreign currency denominated revenue, and not for speculative or trading purposes. Despite being entered into such domestic currency swaps with the intent to reduce the foreign currency exposure risk for trade receivables and expected sales, the Group’s derivative financial instruments do not qualify for being accounted for as hedging instruments according to IAS 39. Therefore, the Company reflects the positive or negative changes in the fair value of those derivatives through profit or loss in the caption “Net exchange rate gains/(losses)”.

The tables below summarise in euro equivalent the contractual amounts of forward exchange contracts used to hedge principally future cash flows from trade receivables and sale orders as at December 31, 2020 and 2019.

U.S. dollars		854		6,347
Swedish kroner		203		208
Danish kroner		—		751
Total		26,255		40,366

The following tables present information regarding the contract amount in euro equivalent amount and the estimated fair value of all of the Group’s forward exchange contracts. Contracts with net unrealized gains are presented as “assets” and contracts with net unrealized losses are presented as “liabilities”.

	2020					2019
	Contract amount		Unrealised gains/(losses)			Contract amount		Unrealised gains/(losses)
Assets		12,587		112			10,419		145
Liabilities		13,668		(253	)		29,947		(772	)
Total		26,255		(141	)		40,366		(627	)

As at December 31, 2020 and 2019, the forward exchange contracts have a net unrealized expense of 141 and 627, respectively. These amounts are recorded in net exchange rate gains/(losses) in the consolidated statements of profit or loss (see note 37).
