INTERIM REPORT ON OPERATIONS
Summary of Half-year Operations
Banca Generali's consolidated net profit amounted to 200.2 million euros in the first half of 2025 compared to 239.6 million euros for the same period of the previous year. The change was mainly attributable to variable fees linked to financial markets.
Net of variable fees and of other non-recurring items, recurring net profit grew by +3.4% on an annual basis to 176.3 million euros, accounting for 88% of total net profit compared to 71% for the same period of the previous year. This performance confirms the Bank's ability to increase the recurring - and thus sustainable - component of its results, even in an operating context made more complex by financial market volatility and the uncertainty linked to the Public Voluntary Exchange Offer launched by Mediobanca on 28 April 2025.
The consolidation scope changed compared to the previous year as a result of the acquisition of Intermonte, following the voluntary tender offer completed on 31 January 2025. Therefore, Inter-monte's balance sheet and profit and loss aggregates were included in the consolidated capital and financial position at 30 June 2025. The financial contribution of the acquisition, referring to the first half of 2025, amounted to 3.2 million euros and had no significant impacts overall on the Banking Group's main operating aggregates. However, an analysis of the most significant impacts on the various items of the Profit and Loss Account is provided below.
With regard to the Profit and Loss Account, further details are provided on individual items:
Net banking income stood at 472.7 million euros, down compared to the first half of 2024 (-4.4%). This aggregate changed as a result of the increase in both net financial income (177.0 million euros; +6.2%) and net recurring fees (253.3 million euros; +8.4%), offset by the sharp decline in variable fees, which amounted to 42.4 million euros (-54.8%).
Operating expenses totalled 164.4 million euros (+20.4% on an annual basis), with a 27.8 million euro increase attributable for approximately 17 million euros to the acquisition of Intermonte Group - net of which the item would have changed only by 7.9% - and for 2.9 million euros to one-off charges.
Net of these items, core operating expenses amounted to 133.6 million euros on a like-for-like basis, up 8.4%.
Operating efficiency indicators remained at excellent levels, even taking into account Intermonte Group's component: the ratio of total costs to total assets stood at 31 bps, slightly up compared to 28 bps for the first half of 2024; the cost/income ratio, adjusted for non-recurring items, grew to 37.5% compared to 33.3% for the same period of the previous year.
Provisions, contributions and charges related to the banking and insurance systems and net adjustments amounted to 36.1 million euros, down compared to 39.5 million euros for the first half of 2024, due to the end of the initial period for the constitution of the deposit protection funds (-9.1 million euros), partly offset by higher charges for adjustments to non-performing loans (+5.4 million euros).
The change in this item included 11 million euro non-recurring provisions for commercial activities aimed at restoring customers' potential losses resulting from investments made in illiquid assets distributed by the Bank; these provisions however declined slightly compared to the provisions allocated in the first half of 2024.
Operating profit before taxation was 272.2 million euros, down 46.0 million euros compared to the same period of the previous year (-14.5%).
At the end of the first half of 2025, total consolidated assets amounted to 17.6 billion euros, increasing by slightly less than 0.8 billion euros (+4.5%) compared to the end of 2024, whereas core loans stood at 16.3 billion euros.
Total net inflows from banks and customers amounted to 15.0 billion euros, up 3.5% compared to the capital position at year-end 2024, and were made up for just slightly more than 2% (0.4 billion
euros) of interbank funding.
The banking book financial assets stood at 12.2 billion euros (+7.4% compared to the end of 2024). Nearly 95% of the assets was invested in bonds with a residual life of 3.7 years and a duration of 1.4 years, of which 48.7% floating-rate securities.
Exposures composed of loans to customers reached 2.3 billion euros (-0.2% compared to year-end 2024).
The interbank position, net of the bond component, fell to 1.1 billion euros, dropping significantly compared to the previous year (-20.7%), mainly as a result of the decline in deposits with the ECB (-0.3 billion euros).
With reference to capital requirements, the Bank confirmed the soundness of its regulatory aggregates. CET1 ratio was 17.7% and Total Capital ratio was 19.7%. As regards data at 30 June 2025, these ratios take into account an impact of approximately 3.9 percentage points due to the new CRR3 framework and of about 1.7 percentage points due to the integration of Intermonte. These ratios were above the specific requirements set by the Bank of Italy for the Group (i.e., CET1 ratio at 8.69% and Total Capital Ratio at 13.19%) for the SREP - Supervisory Review and Evaluation.
In the first half of 2025, total net inflows amounted to 3.0 billion euros, with a sharp improvement in terms of product component. Net inflows from Assets under Investment stood at 1.6 billion euros in the period, up +12.0% compared to the previous year and accounting for 54% of the total compared to 40% in the first half of 2024.
Net inflows from Other assets amounted to 1.4 billion euros in the six-month period, driven by demand for assets under administration (1.3 billion euros), albeit declining from the previous years' peaks as a result of the modest contribution of deposits (107 million euros) following the reinvestment of liquidity.
The Group's total client assets stood at 106.5 billion euros, including the around 0.7 billion euro contribution deriving from the assets managed by the Swiss subsidiaries, and grew by +7.6% on an annual basis.
In addition, managed assets also included 1.4 billion euros referring to assets under administration of the Generali Group companies, 4.4 billion euros related to BGFML's Sicavs (3.2 billion euros) and third-party funds (1.2 billion euros) underlying institutional portfolio management of Generali Group insurance companies, as well as 0.8 billion euros regarding units of Sicavs distributed directly by BGFML, for an overall total of 113.1 billion euros.
Assets under Advanced Advisory reached 10.9 billion euros (+6.4% compared to 2024), with a 10.3% ratio to total client assets.
Macroeconomic Context
In the first half of the year, the performance of European and US stock markets diverged significantly. The two main benchmarks - the Eurostoxx 600 and the S&P 500 indices - ended the period at approximately +6.7% and -6.5%, respectively, in euros. The depreciation of the US dollar against the euro contributed significantly to this performance differential. In particular, the euro-dollar exchange rate went from 1.03 to 1.17 in the period, depreciating by approximately 13%.
After a long period of underperformance, the Eurozone outperformed the United States thanks to more attractive ratings and lower investor confidence in the Trump administration's actions. The US President's April announcement of high tariffs - in the case of China, exceeding 100% - triggered a global stock market sell-off. Over the next few weeks, in light of the negotiations between the United States and its main trade partners, the market fully recouped the losses incurred. In particular, an agreement was reached with the UK and a preliminary agreement was made with China, already partly confirmed by the Chinese government. Another factor that contributed to equity index volatility in the first half of the year was the outbreak of the conflict in the Middle East following Israel's attack against Tehran. However, the news of the conflict was quickly absorbed by the markets as there was no escalation that could lead to the closure of the Strait of Hormuz by the Iranians, which would have caused a surge in oil prices, with negative repercussions in terms of growth and inflation for the major global economies.
In that scenario, the European Central Bank cut interest rates for the eighth time in a year, bringing its deposit rates to 2%, while the Fed left rates unchanged, mainly due to uncertainty surrounding the evolution of growth and inflation dynamics linked to the entry into force of tariffs. In this context, government bonds underperformed corporate bonds. The latter benefited from attractive absolute yields (around 6% for high-yield bonds) and from volatility that, as in 2024, proved lower than that of government bonds. Despite the turbulences due to the tariff announcement, the macroeconomic scenario remains supportive for lending which continues to benefit from positive technical factors, with demand still very high. In fact, the return on investments in investment-gra-de and high-yield securities allows for absorbing any short-term volatility. Among government bonds, the excellent performance of Italian BTP bonds is worth noting, with the spread against the ten-year German bond falling to 82 bps, demonstrating investors' renewed confidence towards Italy. BTP outperformed government bonds from core Eurozone countries such as France and Germany due to their political uncertainty.
On the equity front, given the uncertainty stemming from the Trump administration's domestic and foreign policies and compounded by a deterioration in consumer confidence, with a consequent downward revision of growth estimates by the Federal Reserve (from 2.1% to 1.4% for the current year), international investors diversified their portfolios also outside the US. The American market closed the half-year underperforming developed countries and emerging markets in a way not seen for years. The main beneficiary of this capital reallocation was Europe, particularly driven by Ger-many's February announcement of a major stimulus package of approximately 800 billion euros over ten years for rearmament and infrastructure. The banking sector (approximately +34%) and the industrial sector (approximately +18%) were among the best performing industries in the period. The former benefited from record-high profits reported by credit institutions, while the latter from the investments that will be necessary to implement the German fiscal stimulus.
As regards emerging markets, the Chinese stock market closed the period at about +1.7% in euros, especially thanks to the performance of the technology sector - one of the Chinese government's primary growth targets.
In terms of currencies, the first half of the year was particularly marked by the weakening of the US dollar against the major global currencies. The dollar lost, respectively, 13% against the euro and about 8% against the Yen, due to greater mistrust on the part of consumers and investors in the American economy. This has encouraged greater geographical investment diversification and a consequent weakening of the US currency.
During the first half of the year, the Commodity Index Total Return (BCOMTR Index) recorded a performance of approximately -7% in euros, mainly due to the depreciation of the US dollar. The precious metals sector, driven by gold (approximately +25% in euros), was very positive and still supported by constant purchases by the world's main emerging economies, and first and foremost by China, aimed at greater diversification of their foreign investments. Platinum, palladium and silver also rose significantly. More cyclical sectors such as energy and industrial metals were essentially stable as a result of the persistent uncertainty over the evolution of the global economic cycle.
Banca Generali's Competitive Positioning
Banca Generali is a leading Italian distributor of financial products and services for Affluent and Private customers through Financial Advisors. The Group's markets of reference are asset management and distribution through its networks of Financial Advisors.
The asset management market
The Italian asset management industry closed the first five months of 2025 with net inflows of
13.1 billion euros, mainly due to net inflows from Italian funds and GP retail solutions. Long-term bond funds recorded significant net inflows, driven by market trends and ongoing high interest rates.
Assets under management amounted to 1,444 billion euros (net of assets invested in collective management solutions), of which 1,280 billion euros (89%) was invested in Italian and foreign funds and 164 billion euros in retail portfolio management solutions.
Long-term funds accounted for almost all open-ended funds (91% in May 2025). These funds included the following categories:
› bond funds (36.4% of total assets or 466.3 billion euros), with +9.2 billion euro net inflows in the first five months of the year;
› equity funds (30.6% of total assets or 391.8 billion euros), with net outflows of approximately
-0.9 billion euros;
› flexible funds (14.0% of total assets or 179.6 billion euros), with net outflows of -0.8 billion euros;
› balanced funds (9.7% of total assets or 123.6 billion euros), with net outflows of -5.6 billion euros since year-start;
› hedge funds (0.1% of total assets or 0.8 billion euros), with net inflows of 0.02 billion euros since year-start.
Money-market funds amounted to 54.8 billion euros (4.3% of total open-ended funds), with net inflows of 5.0 billion euros since year-start. The remaining 4.9% consisted of unclassified funds.

Banca Generali
In the first half of 2025, Banca Generali's net inflows amounted to 3.0 billion euros.
Managed solutions recorded significant net inflows (849 million euros since year-start), driven by demand for financial wrappers (629 million euros since year-start) and in-house funds and Sicavs (202 million euros since year-start), the latter also thanks to the new in-house sub-funds launched to respond to customers' investment needs.
Demand for traditional life insurance policies was particularly robust, with 662 million euro net inflows, confirming customers' strong interest towards protection; these trends drove the growth of Assets under Investment.
Assets under administration significantly normalised compared to the previous year: net inflows from AUC & Banking under Advisory amounted to 107 million euros in the reporting period compared to 567 million euros for the previous year (-81.1%). Albeit remaining at excellent levels (1.4 billion euros), Other Assets (Assets under Custody and liquidity) declined sharply compared to
2.2 billion euros for 2024 (-37%), mainly due to a lower demand for Assets under Custody.

Operating Result1
Banca Generali Group closed the first half of 2025 with consolidated net profit of 200.2 million euros, down compared to the first half of 2024 (-16.4%), largely as a result of the decline in non-recurring net profit (-65.5%), which had surged in the first half of 2024 driven by the recovery of performance fees.
However, the result for the period benefited from the robust increase in recurring net profit, which stood at 176.3 million euros (+3.4%), mainly driven by higher total assets and the expansion of the Banking Group's consolidation scope.

1The following reclassifications have been made in the presentation of the reclassified Consolidated Profit and Loss Account in order to facilitate understanding of operating performance:
reclassification to the net fee aggregate of the provisions for incentives related to sales and recruitment plans; the net provisions aggregate was restated net of these items, amounting to 8.6 million euros in 2025 and 7.3 million euros in 2024;
reclassification to the other general and administrative expenses aggregate of taxes recovered from customers, accounted for among other operating income and expenses and amounting to 58.1 million euros in 2025 and 49.1 million euros in 2024;
reclassification of the costs of the mandatory contributions paid by the Bank, pursuant to the DSGD and BRRD for the protection of the banking system (contributions to the Italian Interbank Deposit Protection Fund, the European Single Resolution Fund and the Italian National Resolution Fund for previous interventions) and to the new Guarantee Fund for the Life Insurance Sector, from the general and administrative expenses aggregate to a separate item not included in the net operating expenses aggregate; this restatement aligns the Bank's disclosure with the most widespread market practices and enables a better presentation of the performance of costs more closely connected to the Bank's operating structure, split from the amount of the systemic costs incurred.
The consolidation scope changed compared to the previous year as a result of the acquisition of Intermonte Group, following the voluntary tender offer completed on 31 January 2025. Therefore, Intermonte's operating aggregates were included in the consolidated capital and financial position at 30 June 2025, but not in that at 30 June 2024 used for the comparison. The acquisition's financial contribution, referring to the first half of 2025, amounted to 3.2 million euros and had no significant impacts overall on the Banking Group's main operating aggregates. However, an analysis of the most significant impacts on the various items of the Profit and Loss Account is provided below.
Net banking income amounted to 472.7 million euros, down 4.4% compared to the first half of 2024.
This item's performance was however influenced by the evolution of variable fees, impacted by market trends (-51.5 million euros), and by the contribution of Intermonte Group's acquisition (+22.0 million euros); net of these components, net banking income rose slightly by 2%.
More in detail, net banking income changed due to the following components:
› the increase in net financial income (177.0 million euros; +6.2%), driven by net income from trading activities dividends (7.2 million euros) that benefited from the contribution of Inter-monte's operations and by a slight increase in net interest income (+2.7%), attributable to the rise in trading volumes within a context of declining interest rates;
› the good performance of gross recurring fees (550.2 million euros; +6.9%), owing to:
the rise in investment fees2 (473.4 million euros; +5.9%), driven by the increase in both traditional gross management fees (446.5 million euros; +5.8%) and total assets;
the increase in other recurring fees (76.8 million euros; +14.1%), which benefited from the contribution of Intermonte's trading and corporate advisory services (15.8 million euros);
› the decline in variable fees to 42.4 million euros (-54.8%), penalised by the negative performance in March-April due to the marked macroeconomic and geopolitical uncertainties.
Operating expenses totalled 164.4 million euros (+20.4% on an annual basis), with a 27.8 million euro increase attributable for approximately 17 million euros to the acquisition of Intermonte Group - net of which the item would have grown by just 7.9% - and for 2.9 million euros to one-off charges.
Net of these items, core operating expenses3 amounted to 133.6 million euros on a like-for-like basis, up 8.4%. This aggregate also included 7.3 million euro charges generated by the start of operations of BG Suisse (5.8 million euros in 2024), net of which the growth of core expenses would have decreased to 7.3%, in addition to an acceleration of investments in insurebaking projects with Generali Group and in AI projects.
Operating efficiency indicators remained at excellent levels, even taking into account Intermonte Group's component: the ratio of total costs to total assets stood at 31 bps, up slightly compared to 28 bps for the first half of 2024; the cost/income ratio, adjusted for non-recurring items, grew to 37.5% compared to 33.3% for the same period of the previous year.
Provisions, contributions and charges related to the banking and insurance systems and net adjustments amounted to 36.1 million euros, down compared to 39.5 million euros for the first half of 2024, due to the end of the initial period for the constitution of the deposit protection funds (-9.1 million euros), partly offset by higher charges for adjustments to non-performing loans (+5.4 million euros).
2The aggregate of investment fees includes management fees and BG Personal Advisory (BGPA) advisory fees. This definition reflects the new approaches in terms of regulatory provisions.
3Operating expenses, net of items associated with Intermonte Group (17.0 million euros), of non-recurring items amounting to 2.9 million euros (3.1 million euros in 2024), and of costs related to sales personnel, including BG Suisse's sales personnel, amounting to 10.8 million euros (11.7 million euros in 2024).
The change in this item included 11 million euro non-recurring provisions for commercial activities aimed at restoring customers' potential losses resulting from investments made in illiquid assets distributed by the Bank; these provisions however declined slightly compared to the provisions allocated in the first half of 2024.
Operating profit before taxation was 272.2 million euros, down 46.0 million euros compared to the same period of the previous year (-14.5%).
The tax burden for the period was 71.5 million euros, with an overall tax rate of 26.3%, up compared to 24.7% in 2024, mainly due to the lower contribution of the foreign entities to the Group's result.

In particular, interest accrued on the debt securities portfolio remained substantially stable (+0.9%), thanks to a nearly 12% expansion of average loan volumes, which offset the decline in yields in line with interest rates.
The average yield of the bond portfolio stood at just below 300 bps in the reporting period, gradually decreasing compared both to 333 bps for the first half of 2024 and to 330 bps at year-end 2024.
Interest on loans to customers, most of which are benchmarked on the Euribor, decreased by 24.4% (-12.9 million euros) as a result of lower average interest rates on loans that declined from over 480 bps for the first half of 2024 to slightly more than 350 bps, against a more modest increase in average loan volumes (+4.3%).
With regard to exposures to banks, interest income fell by -1.0 million euros, despite a significant rise in loan volumes compared to the first half of 2024 (+43%). Within this context, transactions with the ECB, namely overnight deposits and minimum reserve4, generated 7.2 million euro net interest, down compared to the first half of 2024.
The cost of funding, net of IFRS 16-related charges, dropped from 80.5 million euros at the end of the first half of 2024 to 63.7 million euros (-20.8%), chiefly as a result of the decline in interest on repurchase agreement transactions with banks and customers (-8.7 million euros; -39.3%), attributable to the reduction in very short-term Treasury transactions with Cassa di Compensazione e Garanzia S.p.A., and in interests accrued on customers' deposits and current accounts (-8.4 million euros) benchmarked on Euribor. The latter has decreased (-14.6%) as of the second quarter of 2025, despite an increase of over 16% in average loan volumes.
Net income from trading activities and dividends
Net income from trading activities and dividends is composed of the net income on financial assets and liabilities held for trading and other assets measured at fair value through profit or loss, realised gains and losses from the disposal of financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income and financial assets measured at amortised cost, dividends and any gain or loss on hedging.

Net income from trading activities amounted to 8.9 million euros, as a consequence of the above-mentioned Intermonte's contribution and, to a lower extent, of the higher contribution of currency transactions.
Net income of assets mandatorily measured at fair value through profit or loss contributed a negative 4.6 million euros, markedly reversing the trend of the same period of 2024 (+2.0 million euros), chiefly attributable to the fair value valuation of the important investment in the Forward Fund, which reported -4.5 million euro capital losses in 2025 compared to 2.3 million euro capital gains in the first half of 2024.
The treasury management of debt securities allocated to the HTCS and HTC portfolios recorded
7.5 million euro gains on disposals for the period (mostly attributable to the turnover of the HTC portfolio).
Net income from hedging contributed a negative 0.7 million euros, due to the early unwinding of some asset swap transactions.
Fee income
Fee income totalled 592.7 million euros, slightly down compared to the same period of 2024 (-2.6%), due to the decrease in variable fees (-51.5 million euros; -54.8%) attributable to market volatility that largely exceeded offset the rise in recurring fees (+35.7 million euros; +6.9%).
In this regard, Intermonte Group's contribution to the recurring fee aggregate in the first half of 2025 amounted to approximately 15.9 million euros, mostly referring to other banking services (trading and advisory services).

With reference to the Sicavs promoted by the Banking Group, management fees - net of the effect of non-recurring performance components - grew by 7.3%, mainly as a result of the increase in average assets managed compared to the first half of 2024 (+7.9%).
Overall, at the end of the reporting period, assets managed by BGFML amounted to 23.1 billion euros, of which 12.0 billion euros referring to placements with retail customers, and decreased slightly by 0.7% compared to the end of 2024 as a result of market volatility.
The individual portfolio management aggregate, net of insurance management products, continued to report excellent results both in terms of both net inflows and profitability, with income increasing by 15.9% driven by a 17.7% rise in average assets compared to the first half of 2024.
In the first half of 2025, the placement of third-party UCITS remained essentially stable (+2.4%), whereas the certificate placement activity declined sharply (-24.3%), offset by the substantial resilience of bond placements.
Fee income from distribution of insurance products recovered slightly compared to the first half of 2024 (+1.9%), but continued to be penalised by the significant incidence of low-profit traditional products, after the surge reported in the fourth quarter of 2024.
Fee income for other banking and financial services, net of BGPA advisory fees, stood at
54.4 million euros, mainly owing to the contribution of Intermonte's operations (15.8 million euros), consisting of fees for trading (8.2 million euros) and advisory fees (7.6 million euros).

Fee expense for off-premises offer paid to the BG Network amounted to 263.6 million euros (+5.9%) as a result of the increased ordinary payout (+6.0 million euros), driven by management fees (+8.0 million euros) and fees for other services (+2.0 million euros), which included fees for trading and advisory fees, but penalised by the decline in underwriting fees (-4.6 million euros).
The increase in extraordinary payout (+16.1%) was attributable to the significant progress of organic growth (+17.9%) and, to a lower extent, to the remuneration of the recruitment activity (+14.0%).
7In order to ensure a better understanding of operating performance, in the reclassified consolidated Profit and Loss Account the provisions for incentives related to sales and recruitment plans have been reclassified within the net fee aggregate. As a result, net provisions were restated net of these items for an amount of 8.6 million euros for 2025 and 7.3 million euros for 2024.
8The numerator of the total payout ratio does not include 4.8 million euro fee expense, which was paid back to the BG Network, calculated on the basis of net interest income (7.1 million euros for the first half of 2024). At 30 June 2025, the ratio of said fees to net interest income was 3.0%.
