Introduction
This consolidated interim financial report at 31 March 2026 has been prepared pursuant to article 154-ter (Interim Reports) of Legislative decree no. 58/1998 (Consolidated Law on Finance), introduced by Legislative decree no. 195/2007, implementing EU Directive 2004/109/EC (known as the Transparency Directive) as amended.
Azimut Holding SpA publishes a consolidated interim financial report not pursuant to any legal requirements, focusing only on the key information of the first three months of the year. It is not fully compliant with the IFRS Accounting Standards as it does not provide all the disclosures required by the applicable standards, simplifying the disclosure to the market.
This consolidated interim financial report provides:
a general description of the financial position and results of operations of Azimut Holding SpA and its subsidiaries for the period;
a description of the main events and transactions of the period and their impact on the financial position of Azimut Holding SpA and its subsidiaries.

Azimut Group's performance for the first quarter of 2026
The Azimut Group's consolidated net profit for the first quarter of 2026 amounts to 125,293 thousand euro (115,246 thousand euro in the first quarter of 2025), while consolidated EBIT before taxes came to 167,488 thousand euro (154,826 thousand euro in the first quarter of 2025).
The Group ended the first quarter of 2026 by consolidating the record trend achieved in 2025. Total inflows amounted to 4.6 billion euros in the first quarter (18.7 billion euros including inflows related to the acquisitions of North Square Investments and Knox Capital, the economic benefits of which were consolidated with effect from 1 January 2026). The period was characterised by steady progress. Following the best January ever (2.0 billion), the Group maintained strong momentum in February (1.7 billion) and in March (945 million). Despite the macroeconomic scenario and market volatility, there was a strong concentration towards asset management solutions. Total assets, net of the market effect, amounted to 143.8 billion euro at 31 March 2026. The Group's important inflows in the first quarter of the year are the result of its global and diversified model. In particular, international markets accounted for around two thirds of total inflows. This was driven by institutional growth in Egypt and the United States (following the acquisition of North Square Investments, LLC), and the success of the wealth management sector in Dubai and Singapore. Two significant acquisitions in Australia are also worth noting as part of strategic expansion operations. The Italian market demonstrated robust and resilient demand, with significant contributions from both public and private sectors, supported by a network of financial advisors and institutional partnerships.
Growth was supported by a platform capable of generating significant organic inflows, even in volatile markets such as Brazil, Mexico and Turkey. This confirms the Group's ability to navigate such markets effectively and successfully respond to the needs of a diverse customer base in both the public and private sectors. These figures confirmed both the strength of the global platform and the effectiveness of the global distribution networks. These results put the Group in an ideal position to meet its sustainable growth targets in the coming months.
With respect to the number of financial advisors, in the first quarter of 2026, the Gruppo Italia's network showed 16 new engagements, compared to 15 outgoing advisors, bringing the total number of Azimut advisors in Italy to 1,773 (31 December 2025: 1,772).

Reclassified consolidated income statement
In order to provide a representation of the results according to management criteria, the income statement has been reclassified to better reflect the content of the items in accordance with these criteria.
The main reclassifications involved the following:
cost recoveries on portfolio management reported under "Fee and commission income" have been reclassified as "Other income" in the reclassified income statement;
the insurance service result and financial income from insurance operations were reallocated to "Insurance income";
commission expenses paid to the sales network, reported under "Fee and commission expense" are now classified as "Acquisition costs"; similarly, the Enasarco/Firr contributions related to these commission expenses and the other trade payables associated with the sales network, recognised under "Administrative costs", have been reclassified as "Acquisition costs"; the amount allocated to the supplementary indemnity reserve for agents (ISC) reported under "Accruals to the provisions and charges" has been reclassified as "Acquisition costs";
administrative cost recoveries, reported under "Other operating income and costs", were recognised as a reduction of "Overheads/administrative costs";
the effects of the application of IFRS 17 - Insurance Contracts, included under "Financial income from insurance operations" were reallocated to "Net financial income";
interest expenses on loans were reported under "Interest expense" in the reclassified income statement.
Consolidated EBIT and consolidated Group net profit for the first quarter of 2026 came to 164 million euro (141 million euro for the first quarter of 2025) and 125 million euro (115 million euro for the first quarter of 2025), respectively.Euro/000

In the first quarter of 2026, assets under management generated recurring fees of 319 million euro, up on the same period of the previous year (280 million euro) thanks to the Group's organic and inorganic growth.
Insurance income was slightly up at 36 million euro in the first quarter of 2026 (32 million euro in the first quarter of 2025), driven by the combined effect of higher recurring fees and higher variable fees recorded during the period. Acquisition costs reflect the rise in recurring revenues and the Group's international expansion. The increase in overheads in the first quarter of 2026 is consistent with the Group's organic and inorganic international growth. The latter was driven by US acquisitions, the consolidation of which took place in the second quarter of 2026. Net financial income includes the positive effects of: i) the fair value measurement of the Group's investments and ii) the measurement of liabilities relating to the future exercise of the options to purchase the remaining portion of the capital of certain acquirees not wholly owned. It also includes the dividends from the investments in the US GP Stakes, the portion of the profits and losses of associates, in addition to the interest income generated by the management of the Group's liquidity. Income taxes include the tax charge (taken directly to the individual countries) related to the application of the Global Minimum Tax as provided for by Law no. 11/2023 for jurisdictions where the 15% tax rate does not apply. -

Americas
On 8 January 2026, the closing for the acquisition of 100% of North Square Investments, LLC
("NSI" or "North Square") was signed, with retroactive effect from 1 January 2026.
The transaction involved an initial outlay in cash and in treasury shares of Azimut Holding SpA of approximately 60 million euro. The contractual agreements also provide for an earn-out of approximately 43 million euro, which is subject to the achievement of specific performance targets agreed by the parties involved.
The closing for the acquisition of 50% plus one share of the share capital of Knox Capital was also signed on 16 January 2026, with retroactive effect from 1 January 2026.
The transaction involved an initial cash outlay of 7.2 million euro. The contractual agreements also provide for an earn-out of approximately 5.6 million euro, which is subject to the achievement of specific performance targets agreed by the parties involved.
From an accounting perspective, the above transactions qualify as a business combination under IFRS 3. Therefore, the Group recognised the acquired assets and assumed liabilities at initial recognition. At the date of this consolidated interim financial report, the calculation of the fair value of the assets and liabilities of the acquired companies was being finalised. Therefore, the excess of the acquisition price over shareholders' equity, equivalent to goodwill, was provisionally allocated. This allocation may be redetermined within the measurement period (12 months from the acquisition date) once the analyses required for the final purchase price allocation (PPA) have been completed.
On 19 January 2026, the Group announced the signing of an agreement for the acquisition of a majority stake in Unifinance Group in Brazil. Unifinance Group has a strong presence in wealth management, specifically in the ultra high net worth (UHNW) segment, and in the institutional customer segment, including closed-end pension funds and insurance companies, with assets under management/under advisory of approximately 640 million euro2. The integration with Azimut will enhance the services offered to customers by providing access to a larger platform and a broader range of products and further improved processes, while preserving Unifinance's independence, culture and investment model. The transaction involves the allocation of Azimut Holding S.p.A. shares with no initial cash outlay and includes an earn-out mechanism, which is dependent on the achievement of specific agreed growth targets. Closing of the transaction is expected in the second quarter of 2026.

Specific examples of this instability include the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, the escalation of tensions in the Middle East and the growing polarisation between economic blocs, which fuels protectionist policies and technological restrictions. This instability has led to a generalised amplification of the risk factors described below.

Ordinary part

The shareholders' meeting approved the 2025 financial statements, which included a Parent Company net profit of 517 million euro. The shareholders concurrently approved the allocation of the net profit for 2025, including the distribution of an ordinary dividend of 2.00 euro per share (excluding any treasury shares in the Company's portfolio on the day prior to the ex-dividend date), before withholding taxes (equal to a dividend yield of 5.3% at current prices), and entirely in cash on 20 May 2026, with ex-dividend date on 18 May 2026 and record date on 19 May 2026. The shareholders' meeting also approved the allocation of 6.7 million euro (equal to 1% of the consolidated gross profit) to Fondazione Azimut EFTS, in accordance with the Articles of Association. It also approved the allocation of 52.57 euro for each participating financial instrument held by Top Key People at the time the dividend payment was approved, again in accordance with the Articles of Association.
-
Proposal for purchase and allocation of treasury shares
The shareholders' meeting approved the authorisation to purchase, in one or more tranches, for a period of 18 months from the resolution and taking into account the shares already in the portfolio at the time of purchase, up to a maximum of 14,000,000 Azimut Holding S.p.A. ordinary shares, equal to 9.77% of the current share capital, of which a maximum of 7,000,000 shares are intended for any stock option plans.
The authorisation will enable the Company to invest in its own shares on the stock market for sale transactions, to obtain the necessary funds to implement stock option plans, or for use as consideration in acquisitions or swaps of equity investments.

The purchase price will be a minimum unit price equal to at least the carrying amount of Azimut Holding S.p.A. ordinary shares and a maximum unit price of 50 euro. The shareholders also approved the whitewash mechanism that exempts the shareholders from the obligation of a full public tender offer in case it exceeds the relevant threshold as a consequence of the purchase of treasury shares.

Azimut Holding S.p.A. General Shareholders' Meeting of 23 April 2026
- Business outlook
In light of the results achieved in the first quarter of 2026, which confirmed the strength and resilience of the Group's diversified business model, the Group expects a positive consolidated profit for 2026.
The financial and operating results will also be affected by the performance of the financial markets, which are made more volatile by an unstable geopolitical and trade landscape. This is evident in the ongoing crisis in Ukraine, the escalating tensions in the Middle East and the growing economic polarisation fuelling protectionist policies.
Although the global macro-economic outlook remains uncertain, an overall valuation of the past and current financial position and results of operations of the Group's business model, lead us to believe that the Group will continue to generate profits for the foreseeable future.

For information on the classification, recognition, measurement and derecognition criteria of the main items, reference should be made to that set out in Part A.2. of the Notes to the Azimut Group's consolidated financial statements at 31 December 2025.
Non-current assets held for sale and discontinued operations and liabilities related to discontinued operationsThe Group classifies non-current assets or groups of assets/liabilities whose carrying amount is recoverable primarily through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use under the item "Non-current assets held for sale and discontinued operations" on the asset side, and "Liabilities related to discontinued operations" on the liability side. This classification is considered appropriate only when a disposal process for those non-current assets or groups of assets/liabilities has been initiated, a sale is highly probable, and the asset or disposal group is available for immediate sale in its current condition.
Specifically, in relation to the binding agreement between Azimut Holding S.p.A. and FSI SGR
S.p.A.3 ("FSI") for the establishment of TNB ("TNB"), the assets and liabilities pertaining to the demerged units of the Italian distribution activities of Azimut Capital Management Sgr SpA and Azimut Financial Insurance SpA, together with other assets, in particular, Italian Excellence Srl, Step4Business Spa and AZI First Srl, having met the requirements of IFRS 5, have been reclassified as "Non-current assets held for sale and discontinued operations" and "Liabilities related to discontinued operations" respectively, within the balance sheet at 31 March 2026.
3 FSI is the largest private equity fund fully dedicated to Italy. For additional information, reference should be made to the website https://www.fondofsi.it.

Consolidation scope
This consolidated interim financial report includes the balance sheet and income statement figures of Azimut Holding SpA and its direct and indirect subsidiaries.
-
Subsidiaries
The Azimut Group consolidation scope has been established in accordance with IFRS 10. Specifically, subsidiaries are those companies in respect of which the Azimut Group is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investees and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investees. Control exists only when the following elements simultaneously exist: (i) the power to direct the relevant activities; (ii) exposure, or
rights, to variable returns from involvement with the investee; (iii) the ability to use its power over the investee to affect the amount of its returns.
Subsidiaries are consolidated on a line-by-line basis as of the acquisition date, i.e., the date on which the Group acquires control in accordance with IFRS 10. They are deconsolidated when the Group no longer controls them.
-
Associates and joint ventures
Associates are those companies subject to significant influence, i.e. companies in which the Azimut Group, either directly or indirectly, holds at least 20% of the voting rights (including "potential" voting rights) or in which - despite holding a smaller percentage of voting rights -has the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions, such as the participation in shareholders' agreements, due to specific legal relationships, or holds the majority of voting rights, but an analysis of the shareholders' agreements has revealed restrictions on its ability to direct the investee's key activities independently.
A joint venture is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the net assets of the arrangement. Joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of control of an arrangement, which exists only when decisions about the relevant activities require the unanimous consent of the parties sharing control.
Associates and joint ventures are consolidated using the equity method whereby on initial recognition the investment is recognised at cost, and the carrying amount is increased or decreased based on the investee's share of equity, using the most recently approved financial statements of the companies. The difference between the carrying amount of the equity investment and the investee's share of equity is included in the carrying amount of the investee.
