In 2024, global growth remained robust, particularly in the United States and large emerging-market economies like China. However, in the first half of 2025 the macroeconomic environment has become increasingly uncertain. Recent indicators point to a moderation in growth prospects, with declining business confidence and rising economic policy uncertainty, exacerbated by escalating trade tensions. The United States's newly announced tariffs, and the threat of retaliatory measures, add to the volatility. Although some tariffs are temporarily suspended, their potential impact on global trade and growth could be significant. The United States beverage alcohol sector is among those at risk, while the full effects remain complex and unclear. According to the OECD, global GDP growth is projected to slow from 3.3% in 2024 to 2.9% in both 2025 and 2026, reflecting higher trade barriers in several G20 economies and increased geopolitical and policy uncertainty. In the United States, GDP growth is expected to slow down to 1.6% in 2025 and 1.5% in 2026, the Euro area is projected to grow by 1.0% in 2025 and 1.2% in 2026, while China's growth is forecast to slow from 5.0% in 2024 to 4.3% in 2026. Trade policy changes are expected to weigh on investment and trade, while consumer spending is projected to soften due to lingering cost-of-living pressures and weaker labour market conditions. Rising trade costs, particularly in countries implementing new tariffs, are expected to exert upward pressure on inflation. However, this effect is expected to be partially mitigated by declining commodity prices 1 . Main Brand-Building Initiatives The brand portfolio represents a strategic asset for Campari Group. Intangible assets are a key component of the market value of spirit products, reflecting the brand strength built over decades. While confirming the geographical regions Americas, EMEA and Asia-Pacific as the primary drivers for the business management and leadership enhancement, starting from 1 January 2025, the Group has implemented the announced new operating model based on four distinct Houses of Brands. This model aims to ensure increased synergies and efficiency and to adopt a brand-forward approach while effectively leveraging geographic expansion opportunities. The new operating model, comprising the House of Aperitifs, the House of Whiskey&Rum, the House of Agave and the House of Cognac&Champagne, facilitates better definition of category ambitions, stronger central coordination of marketing, increased efficiency, and more effective allocation of brand-building resources and investments. It also enhances marketing effectiveness by leveraging local marketing capabilities. The main marketing initiatives undertaken in the first half of 2025 are outlined as follows. House of Aperitifs Aperol In the first months of 2025, the bond between Aperol and tennis was reactivated through the Australian Open sponsorship with campaigns in both Australia and New Zealand. During the winter season, Aperol Winter Tour was relaunched, spreading the brands' positive orange vibes around key locations of the Italian, French, Swiss and Austrian Alps. Moreover, Aperol Après Ski was unveiled in the United States, aiming at creating new moments of consumption also during the winter season. In April, Aperol returned for the third consecutive year as the official Spritz Partner of the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in the United States and also returned as a key presence at Primavera Sound in Spain, delivering its signature atmosphere and reinforcing its connection to music and summer culture. Starting from May this year, Aperol raised a glass to the start of summer with the launch of its new global campaign L'unico per tutti , one of the Group's biggest campaigns over the last years with a launch across 30 countries (including key markets Italy and Germany), sending a universal message that reinforces the brand's place at the heart of social moments, wherever and whenever they happen. In addition, the Aperol Summer Program was launched with a kick-off in June with a vibrant global launch event in New York City, setting the tone for the summer season. 1 OECD Economic Outlook, Tackling Uncertainty, Reviving Growth, June 2025. Campari Campari continued to strengthen its association with cinema in 2025 through relevant initiatives in key regional Film Festivals. Together with its local media partner, it lit up the 75 th Berlinale Film Festival in Berlin, Germany, renewing its co-partnership for the third consecutive year. Additionally, Campari was the official spirits sponsor of the 31 st Screen Actors Guild Awards held in Los Angeles and proudly renewed the official partnership for the Festival de Cannes also this year. In early June, the brand brought Milan to life with a unique and immersive experience- The Red View at Torre Velasca -celebrating both its own heritage and the city where it was born. Crodino Crodino Non-Alcoholic Spritz shone brightly during the Bright Yellow Dry January campaign in the United Kingdom. The launch of the new campaign with a 0.0% alcohol claim was accompanied by a fully integrated launch across channels and digital platforms that successfully engaged a large number of highbrow media channels, celebrities and venues. As momentum builds in the fast-growing Non-Alcoholic category, a bold step forwards in the distinctive and premium non-alcoholic spritz offering was taken also with the launch of Crodino in the United States. Moreover, for the first time ever, Crodino has gone on a tour bringing its iconic Non-Alcoholic Spritz and Italian summer vibes to consumers in Switzerland, the United Kingdom, Belgium and Austria through Chiosco Crodino , its new kiosk format. House of Whiskey&Rum Wild Turkey and American Whiskey portfolio During the 10 th annual Behind the Barrel program in Kentucky, top bartenders of the United States participated in a multi-day educational experience on whiskey making for Wild Turkey, Russell's Reserve and Wilderness Trail, also joined by Master Distiller Jimmy Russell. Wild Turkey Bourbon launched its coveted 8-year-old 101 Bourbon , previously offered exclusively in selected export markets, in the United States, supported by a comprehensive campaign targeting the engaged Bourbon community. Furthermore, Russell's Reserve released its coveted 13-year-old in the United States, with dedicated events throughout the months of June and July. The GlenGrant The GlenGrant globally unveiled the Splendours Collection , featuring the rare The GlenGrant 65-Year-Old at Art Basel Hong Kong . The event included a unique collaboration with Random International, a renowned artist group, showcasing 65 artworks, each symbolising the endless cycle of nature as well as The GlenGrant 65-Year-Old expression, highlighting the brand's dedication to crafting exquisite high-aged whiskies and thus reinforcing its status as a premier luxury single malt. In April, The Glen Grant unveiled Exploration No.1 , finished in rum casks, as the first release in a collection of limited-edition single malt Scotch whiskies, available exclusively in the travel retail for a six-month-period, before being released to domestic markets Appleton Estate Appleton Estate released The Source , a 51-year-old, 100% pot still single cask rum, the world's oldest tropically aged rum and the brand's rarest to date, with only 25 decanters produced. The launch, led by Master Blender Joy Spence, reinforcing Appleton Estate's strong position in the luxury aged Rum category. House of Agave Espolòn In the United States, Espolòn launched the Mercado Festival Experience with two weekends at the Innings and Extra Innings Festivals in Arizona. These events combined live music performances with baseball-themed activities, featuring nearly 20 artists across three stages. In May, during the Cinco de Mayo campaign in the United States, Espolòn embraced the raw, do-it-yourself ('DIY') ethos of magazine culture with a bold publication that challenged clichés and celebrated authentic Mexican-American creativity. Partnering with a Mexican-American fanzine collective, the punk spirit of Espolòn was brought to life. This event was amplified both on social media and in the on-premise via displays, merchandise and stands. The brand further launched a bold and culturally immersive activation in Peckham, London, one of the United Kingdom's most vibrant creative hubs. The Peckham Barrio campaign was designed to disrupt the tequila category and make Espolòn unmissable. The brand also partnered with Second Life Markets , a vibrant, fashion-forward marketplace in Australia, that celebrated personal style and sustainability. Guests could purchase curated vintage fashion pieces while sampling Espolòn ready-to-drink cocktails. The activation continued with seasonal market events in key Australian cities. Each event featured Espolòn-branded bars, immersive brand storytelling, and community engagement through fashion and music. In addition, Espolòn was the main Tequila partner of the renowned Governors Ball , a major annual music event held in New York in June. House of Cognac&Champagne Courvoisier In the first half of the year, the Moments That Made Us campaign launched in the United Kingdom, focusing on culturally relevant passion points for British consumers: celebrations, music and connection. Driven by a year-long partnership with Brit Awards 'Band of the Year' The Ezra Collective, the brand grabbed attention in London with a full tube takeover for Father's Day, followed by a four-day immersive consumer experience in the heart of the city. The Bring Your Own Courvoisier Campaign was unveiled in the United States, positioning Courvoisier as the go-to spirit for at-home gatherings and entertaining, seeking to differentiate the brand from other Cognac brands while maintaining its passionate essence, building relevance for a new generation, and increasing consideration and conversion. Grand Marnier The special partnership with Grammy-winning rapper, entrepreneur and fashion icon, Future , first announced in 2024, grew scale this first half of the year through the Make it Grand campaign, underscoring the brand's commitment to owning cultural moments and strengthening its presence within the United States' spirits market. Additionally, Grand Marnier sponsored the opening and event celebrations of the highly anticipated NBA All-Star Weekend as well as through its return to The Roots Picnic festival for the second consecutive year. Lallier Lallier kicked off the year in style at the Oscars as the official champagne poured for the 97th edition of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences®, creating buzz for the brand globally as all eyes turned to the star studded event. Lallier also continued to celebrate its two new Cuvées: Réflexions R.021 Brut and first-ever R.021 Brut Rosé through a global series of Michelin star chef partnerships and events in 7 geographies including the United States, France and Japan. Furthermore, Champagne Lallier, alongside Aperol and Campari, was one of the official partners of the glamorous and exclusive I nternational Concours of Elegance ('ICE') organised in Saint Moritz. Significant Events of the Period Acquisitions, Disposal and Commercial Agreements Portfolio Streamlining Initiatives In the first half of 2025, Campari Group made significant progress in its portfolio streamlining strategy through targeted disposals, aimed at sharpening focus on the core spirits business, simplifying operations, and supporting financial deleveraging. As of 21 May 2025, Campari Group, namely Campari Australia PTY Ltd., completed the sale of its bottling facility located in Derrimut announced in March 2025, to a local manufacturing organisation, Garage Beverages Manufacturing. Garage is a privately owned Australian business which has been manufacturing beverages, from concept to launch, from their site since 2011. Campari Australia purchased the Derrimut plant in 2013. Since then, the site has provided high quality manufacturing services to the Australian and New Zealand businesses, as well as third party customers. In 2024, the sold business reported net sales of €15.9 million at Group level. Together with the sale agreement, Campari Group entered into a long-term manufacturing agreement with the buyer for bottling its local products in the same site, aimed at enhancing efficiency and effectiveness. The disposal transaction involved the disposal of a group of net assets associated with the bottling plant. The assets were sold for an agreed price of AUD15.7 million, equivalent to €8.7 million based on the spot exchange rate as of 30 June 2025. The impact of the aforementioned transaction was recognised in Group's financials for the half-year ended 30 June 2025, in accordance with applicable accounting standards. On 26 June 2025, the Group reached an agreement to sell Cinzano vermouth and sparkling wines to the private Italian spirits company Caffo Group 1915, the owner of the bitter brand Vecchio Amaro del Capo. The sale also includes Frattina grappa and sparkling wine business. In 2024, net sales of Cinzano and Frattina amounted to €75.0 million, with reported 5% CAGR over the last 4 years, and accounted for 2% of Campari Group's overall net sales. Reported CAAP (contribution after A&P) amounted to €21.0 million. The total consideration is €100.0 million for 100% of the share capital of the newly established company ('NewCo') (including the finished goods inventories held by Campari Group) on a cash free/debt free basis. The consideration, to be corresponded in cash, is subject to customary price adjustment mechanisms. The closing of the transaction is expected by the end of 2025. The transaction foresees the contribution to NewCo of the Cinzano and Frattina businesses, including all intellectual property, finished goods inventories, certain employees, some production equipment in Italy, contractual relationships and other related assets. The production facilities in Italy and Argentina, where Campari Group also manufactures other brands, are excluded from the transaction perimeter. As part of the transaction and effective from closing, Caffo Group 1915 and Campari Group will enter into a transitional manufacturing agreement in Italy and Argentina, as well as temporary distribution agreements whereby Campari Group will continue to distribute Cinzano products in certain markets such as Argentina, Spain, Mexico, Russia, South Korea and South Africa before transitioning to Caffo Group 1915's commercial footprint. The group of assets to be disposed of (current and non-current), along with the directly associated liabilities, has been classified as a disposal group held for sale in the Group Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements at 30 June 2025. Based on the net assets identified to be disposed of and their carrying amounts as of 30 June 2025, the transaction is expected to result in a pre-tax gain of approximately €60.0 million at closing, before deducting any related costs to sell and tax effects, in accordance with the applicable financial reporting standards. Group Significant Events and Corporate Actions Campari Group New Operating Model As announced, starting from 1 January 2025, a new operating model has been introduced to ensure increased synergies and efficiency to drive structural decisions and ensure alignment with the Group's long-term objectives, focusing on a brand-building approach while effectively leveraging geographic expansion opportunities on key brand-market combinations. The implementation, which commenced in late 2024 with the establishment of the House of Brands, is progressing as planned. A strong emphasis has been placed on building the strategic roadmap to be set in motion for the years ahead. Following the implementation of the new business model, the net sales disclosures have been reviewed starting from 1 January 2025 and the classification of certain cost items in the statement of profit or loss, primarily related to Supply Chain functions that have progressively evolved into administrative and coordination roles, has been reclassified from 'Cost of sales' to 'Selling, general and administrative expenses'. To ensure consistency and comparability, comparative data for the six months ended 30 June 2024, have been restated accordingly to reflect this revised presentation and presented as '2024 reclassified' in the following disclosures. The following table shows the net sales and statement of profit or loss originally published for the first half of 2024, which was re-presented based on the aforementioned changes. for the six months ended 30 June 2024 published € million House of Aperitifs € million House of Whiskey& Rum € million House of Agave € million House of Cognac& Champagne € million local brands € million reclassification € million total - after reclassification € million global priority brands 1,031.6 Aperol 398.5 398.5 - - - - - - Campari 178.9 178.9 - - - - - - Espolòn 129.7 - - 129.7 - - - - Wild Turkey portfolio 109.2 - 109.2 - - - - - Jamaican rums portfolio 76.3 - 76.3 - - - - - Grand Marnier 70.1 - - - 70.1 - - - SKYY 60.8 - - - - 60.8 - - Courvoisier 8.0 - - - 8.0 - - - regional priority brands 254.5 Sparkling Wines, Champagne&Vermouth 68.9 - - - 4.0 64.9 - - Other specialities 130.8 44.4 - 13.5 3.6 69.3 - - Other Whisk(e)y 20.7 - 11.7 - - 9.0 - - Crodino 34.1 34.1 - - - - - - local priority brands 98.6 Campari Soda 45.6 45.6 - - - - - - Wild Turkey ready-to-drink 21.0 - 21.0 - - - - - SKYY ready-to-drink 19.3 - - - - 19.3 - - Ouzo 12 12.6 - - - - 12.6 - - rest of the portfolio 138.8 8.8 - 0.1 0.4 129.6 - - Net sales 1,523.4 710.4 218.2 143.3 86.1 365.5 - 1,523.4 Cost of sales (625.9) - - - - - 12.9 (613.0) Gross profit 897.5 - - - - - 12.9 910.4 Advertising and promotional expenses (231.6) - - - - - - (231.6) Contribution margin 665.9 - - - - - 12.9 678.8 Selling, general and administrative expenses (305.9) - - - - - (12.9) (318.8) Result from recurring activities (EBIT-adjusted) 360.0 - - - - - - 360.0 Americas 2024 reclassified € million reclassification € million 2024 published € million Net sales 687.5 - 687.5 Cost of sales (301.6) (6.4) (308.1) Gross profit 385.9 (6.4) 379.4 Advertising and promotional expenses (106.5) - (106.5) Contribution margin 279.3 (6.4) 272.9 Selling, general and administrative expenses (117.4) 6.3 (111.1) Result from recurring activities (EBIT-adjusted) 162.0 (0.2) 161.8 EMEA 2024 reclassified € million reclassification € million 2024 published € million Net sales 743.2 - 743.2 Cost of sales (261.1) (5.2) (266.2) Gross profit 482.1 (5.2) 477.0 Advertising and promotional expenses (108.7) - (108.7) Contribution margin 373.4 (5.2) 368.3 Selling, general and administrative expenses (171.1) 6.3 (164.8) Result from recurring activities (EBIT-adjusted) 202.3 1.1 203.5 Asia-Pacific 2024 reclassified € million reclassification € million 2024 published € million Net sales 92.8 - 92.8 Cost of sales (50.3) (1.3) (51.6) Gross profit 42.5 (1.3) 41.2 Advertising and promotional expenses (16.4) - (16.4) Contribution margin 26.0 (1.3) 24.7 Selling, general and administrative expenses (30.3) 0.3 (30.0) Result from recurring activities (4.3) (1.0) (5.2) (EBIT-adjusted) Extraordinary General Meeting of Davide Campari-Milano N.V.

Group Financial Review Sales Performance The nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of sales, as well as the corresponding cash flows, are affected by economic and business factors which differ across markets, also as a function of their different sizes and maturity profiles. These elements are primarily attributable to demographics and consumption habits and are also influenced by historical, social and climatic factors, local consumer taste preferences, propensity to consume, the market commercial structure in terms of the weight of the distribution channels (off-premise versus on-premise) as well as retailer concentration. As an effect of the above factors, the sales composition by brand differs from market to market. Consequently, the brand-building and sales infrastructure investments are allocated to respond to each market priority. The Group's business units are organised by the subsequent geographical regions: Americas, Europe ('EMEA') and Asia-Pacific ('APAC'). To highlight the main business performance drivers in a diversified context and to assess the contribution of the different brands to the overall sales performance of the Group, further breakdowns by the newly introduced Houses of Brands model (House of Aperitifs, House of Whiskey&Rum, House of Agave and House of Cognac&Champagne) are provided to better explain their contribution to net sales. As indicated in the 'Group significant events and corporate actions', the categorisation of brands into the four distinct Houses aims to enhance category ambition, premiumisation and end-to-end responsibility for global category profit or loss and resource allocation. Although this new categorisation is effective as of 1 January 2025, the information presented below has been uniformly restated to ensure comparative consistency. Key Highlights In the first six months of 2025, Group net sales amounted to €1,527.9 million, with a reported increase of +0.3% compared with the same period of 2024. This increase was composed of a perimeter impact of +2.0%, mainly driven by Courvoisier, an exchange rate component at -1.8% and +0.1% organic performance. A solid start to the peak season, coupled with the normalisation of Easter-related phasing effects and the partial recovery of some logistical delays, as well as the inclusion of Courvoisier within the scope of organic growth as of May 2025, supported a return to positive organic performance in the first half of 2025. This was in line with expectations, despite a persistently challenging macroeconomic and trading environment. for the six months ended 30 June 2025 € million 2024 total change € million € million six months change %, of which total organic perimeter exchange rate (1) organic change % by quarter first second total 1,527.9 1,523.4 4.5 0.3% 0.1% 2.0% -1.8% -4.2% 3.5% (1) Includes the effects associated with hyperinflation in Argentina.

Organic Sales Performance of Operating Segments The sales performance of the Group's operating segments in the first six months of 2025 compared with the same period of 2024 is provided in the following table. for the six months ended 30 June Group net sales focus by region 2025 € million % 2024 € million % total change € million total six months organic change %, of which perimeter exchange rate (1) second quarter organic change % Americas 666.2 43.6% 687.5 45.1% (21.3) -3.1% -1.0% 1.8% -3.9% 3.7% EMEA 770.4 50.4% 743.2 48.8% 27.2 3.7% 0.7% 2.7% 0.3% 3.8% Asia-Pacific 91.4 6.0% 92.8 6.1% (1.3) -1.5% 4.1% -1.8% -3.7% -1.2% total 1,527.9 100.0% 1,523.4 100.0% 4.5 0.3% 0.1% 2.0% -1.8% 3.5% (1) Includes the effects associated with hyperinflation in Argentina. Americas The region, broken down into its core markets, recorded an overall organic decrease of -1.0%.

In the first six months of 2025, the United States , accounting for 27.6% of Group net sales, reported a -3.3% decrease in net sales, with organic growth in the second quarter of 2.8%, despite the ongoing challenging environment. The pressure due to destocking experienced in the first quarter 2025 has been mitigated and the impact of logistical delays has been partially absorbed. The positive performance in the second quarter 2025 was driven by continued double-digit growth in Espolòn (+10.8%) and Aperitifs (+9.8%), mainly Campari and Aperol, and was partially offset by persisting challenges in SKYY and a very challenging comparison base of Grand Marnier (+20.1% in the first six months of 2024 ). Jamaica showed a slight reduction in performance of -2.4%, impacted by a high comparison base (+10.7% in the first six months of 2024), especially during the second quarter of the previous year (+32.4%), which was mainly impacted by the order catch-up after the supply shortages. In the first six months of 2025, positive local market dynamics supported the growth of core Wray&Nephew Overpoof (+2.7%), despite the challenging comparison base (+21.6% in the first six months of 2024), and Magnum Tonic Wine. Other countries of the region showed a positive organic performance of +4.8% with positive results across the rest of the Americas region, especially in the second quarter of 2025 (+11.5%) mainly driven by Aperol, SKYY Vodka and Brazilian Brands. EMEA The region, which is broken down by core markets in the following table, reported an organic increase of +0.7%. The weight of the off-premise and on-premise channels can vary significantly from country to country. for the six months ended 30 June % of Group total 2025 € million % 2024 € million % total change € million six months change %, of which total organic perimeter exchange rate second quarter organic change % Italy 16.9% 257.6 33.4% 262.2 35.3% (4.6) -1.7% -2.0% 0.2% - -1.4% Germany 7.8% 119.5 15.5% 125.2 16.8% (5.6) -4.5% -4.7% 0.2% - -1.9% France 5.6% 85.0 11.0% 84.1 11.3% 0.9 1.1% 1.2% -0.1 - 3.0% United Kingdom 3.9% 60.2 7.8% 46.4 6.2% 13.8 29.9% 4.9% 23.4% 1.5% 14.9% Other countries 16.2% of the region 248.0 32.2% 225.4 30.3% 22.6 10.0% 5.7% 3.6% 0.7% 11.3% EMEA 50.4% 770.4 100.0% 743.2 100.0% 27.2 3.7% 0.7% 2.7% 0.3% 3.8% In the first six months of 2025 within a challenging market environment, the performance in Italy remained overall resilient , showing a slight decrease of -2.0%. In this context, both Aperol and Campari maintained stable results, while Crodino, Aperol Spritz and Sarti Rosa recorded growth, supported by evolving consumer preferences towards convenience and the benefits of a diversified portfolio approach. Germany showed moderating cumulative performance (-4.7%) with an improvement in the second quarter of 2025 of -1.9% compared to the first quarter (-10.1%). This trend reflected the impact of a challenging market backdrop and commercial dispute on a high comparison base of the first six months of 2024 which had recorded strong growth of +13.4%. These effects were partially offset by the strong ongoing trend of the Aperitifs brand Sarti Rosa, which has reached 9.4% of the country's sales. In the first six months of 2025, France showed an increase of +1.2% with an acceleration in the second quarter of 2025 (+3%). The positive performance was mainly driven by the resilient performance in Aperitifs during the first six months of 2025 (+3.2%) partially offset by results of the local brands. Performance in the United Kingdom reported a growth of +4.9% (with strong double-digit underlying growth of +13% excluding non-recurring bulk sales), driven by Aperitifs (+23.6%), primarily supported by the continued strong performance of Aperol, as well as Courvoisier, which benefited from new marketing campaign. The other countries in the region showed a solid performance (+5.7%) with continued growth in Aperitifs (+6.1%) mainly driven by Global Travel Retail ('GTR'), Greece and Belgium. The growth was supported by a diversified portfolio strategy, alongside targeted brand-building initiatives in the Aperitifs segment and Courvoisier. Asia-Pacific This region, which is predominantly off-premise skewed and whose market breakdown is shown as follows, recorded organic growth of +4.1%. for the six months ended 30 June % of Group total 2025 € million % 2024 € million % total change € million six months change %, of which total organic perimeter exchange rate second quarter organic change % Australia 3.2% 49.2 53.8% 48.3 52.1% 0.8 1.7% 10.3% -3.5% -5.0% 4.6% Other countries of the region 2.8% 42.2 46.2% 44.4 47.9% (2.2) -4.9% -2.7% 0.1% -2.4% -6.7% Asia-Pacific 6.0% 91.4 100.0% 92.8 100.0% (1.3) -1.5% 4.1% -1.8% -3.7% -1.2% Australia showed double-digit growth (+10.3%) in the first six months of 2025, mainly driven by the outperformance of Aperitifs (+21.5%), supported by a continued focus on accelerating on-premise activations. In addition, Espolòn ready-to-drink has now become the first brand in the tequila ready-to-drink category. Wild Turkey (+7%) and Wild Turkey ready-to-drink (+4.2%) also contributed positively, benefiting from a favourable comparison base. Other countries of the region showed a resilient performance in the first six months of 2025 (-2.7%), mainly driven by Japan, South Korea, China and New Zealand, benefiting from route-to-market investments. This was partially offset by a negative trend in other APAC markets. Solid performances were recorded by Wild Turkey and Wild Turkey ready-to-drink as well as Russell's Reserve, SKYY Vodka and Espolòn. Brand Contribution on Segments The table shows contribution to consolidated net sales from four newly created category divisions and its main brands, as well as the most relevant region and markets. Several initiatives have been launched starting from 1 January 2025 to advance portfolio streamlining, aiming to enhance commercial focus on core priority brands.

House of Aperitifs showed an overall resilient organic performance of +2.0%. The performance of Aperol of +1.2% overall in the first six months of 2025 was driven by solid growth in the Americas (+8.4%) and by stable results in EMEA (-0.3%). The United States showed an increase in sales (+0.7%) and an overall strong trend in the rest of the American region. The EMEA region recorded a broadly consistent overall performance. Italy remained stable in the first six months of 2025, while Germany was negatively impacted by a challenging environment and a particularly high comparison base of previous year. Excluding Italy and Germany, the rest of the EMEA region delivered a solid growth of +2.9%, driven by the United Kingdom, Greece and other markets reflecting growing consumer demand. The performance of Campari (-2.0%) was impacted by the Americas due to a high comparison base in Brazil despite the positive performance of the United States (+7.6%) and EMEA (+0.9%). Italy remained stable in the first six months of 2025 supported by the recovery in the second quarter of 2025, while Germany continued to face a challenging environment. The rest of the EMEA region recorded a strong performance (+5.6% excluding Italy and Germany) driven by the accelerating momentum of Campari spritz. Crodino&Other Aperitifs grew by +9.8% with Crodino showing a resilient performance across the EMEA region including Italy. Aperol Spritz continued to gain traction, capitalising on consumer trend towards convenience. Other Aperitif brands, particularly Sarti Rosa, continued to grow, further reinforcing the Group's leading position in the Aperitif category. House of Whiskey&Rum reported an organic reduction of -1.4%. Wild Turkey&Russell's Reserve showed a reduction of -8.1% due to a soft trend for Wild Turkey in its core United States market, which offset resilient Asia-Pacific (+7.5%), including the key markets Australia and South Korea as well as EMEA albeit a small base. Resilient performance was achieved in Russell's Reserve, especially driven by the Single Barrel variant, in line with the premiumisation strategy. The Jamaican rums portfolio increased by +5.1%, with positive performance across core markets. The positive trend continued into the second quarter of 2025 despite a high comparison base in the same period of 2024 (+12.6%) especially driven by Wray&Nephew Overproof. Other Whiskey showed a flat performance (-0.3%) due to the positive results of the second quarter of 2025 (+5%) with consistent pressure across the portfolio, in line with category trends, while Wild Turkey ready-to-drink showed solid growth in the first six months of 2025 (+7%), supported by strong performance in its core markets Australia and Japan. House of Agave reflected a positive performance of +5.0%, mainly due to Espolòn (4.8%), particularly in the core United States market. The second quarter of 2025 showed a double-digit positive result (+12.2%) and offset the negative effects of the logistic delay during the first quarter 2025. The positive performance in the first six months of 2025 was supported by a solid growth of the Reposado (+13.6%) and the Blanco categories (+4.4%). Seeding markets delivered steady increase off a small base, consistent with the Group's international expansion strategy, particularly in Australia, Canada, the United Kingdom and Italy. Other brands recorded sustained growth of +6.7% primarily driven by the sound performance of Montelobos in the United States and the continued success of Espolòn ready-to-drink in the core Australian market. House of Cognac&Champagne showed an organic and relatively stable performance of -0.8% impacted by the challenging operating environment. Grand Marnier reported a decrease of -20.1% attributable to negative performance driven by the core United States market. This was due to a challenging comparison base (+20.1% in the first six months of 2024), along with ongoing destocking, logistical constraints and focus on pricing in a highly competitive market, aiming to protect brand equity. In the United States and the United Kingdom, progressive investments for Courvoisier were carried out in the first six months of 2025 with ongoing definition of brand strategy plan for Asia-Pacific given the current volatile environment, leading to the achievement of €61.8 million of sales (reported as perimeter until April 2025 and, starting in May 2025, integrated into the organic results). Other Cognac&Champagne recorded solid growth in the second quarter of 2025 (+12.1%) mainly driven by positive performance of Lallier in the United States. Local brands were down by -4.4% organically. SKYY reported a negative trend (-4.4%) with some moderation in the second quarter of 2025. The positive performance in Argentina, Brazil and China was not able to offset the ongoing softness in the core United States, in line with other major players in the category. Sparkling Wines&Vermouth showed an increase of +2.8%, mainly driven by Riccadonna, Mondoro and Cinzano Sparkling wines. Other brands experienced an overall weakness with reported decrease of -6.3%, reflecting the impact of a challenging operating environment, alongside a contraction in non-core bulk sales and co-packing initiatives. This downturn was only partially offset by continued growth in Brazilian Brands and Magnum Tonic Wine. Perimeter Variation The perimeter variation of +2.0% in the first half of 2025, as compared with the same period of 2024, was analysed in the following table. With regard to the sale of the bottling facility located in Australia (refer to the 'Significant events of the period'), the business was reported as an organic component up to the disposal date at the end of May 2025, with a negligible contribution reflected in June 2025. perimeter variation breakdown of the perimeter effect € million % for the first six months of 2025 asset deals and business acquisitions 38.1 2.5% total asset deals and business acquisitions 38.1 2.5% new agency brands 2.2 0.1% discontinued agency brands (9.7) -0.6% total agency brands (7.5) -0.5% total perimeter effect 30.6 2.0% Asset Deals and Business Acquisitions In the first six months of 2025, business acquisitions contributed +2.5% to the Group's overall sales growth, primarily driven by the Courvoisier brands portfolio (Courvoisier and Salignac). This contribution reflected the integration of the acquired business into the Group's financials following the completion of the related transaction on 30 April 2024. Agency Brands Distribution In the first half of 2025 the Group continued to streamline its portfolio of agency brands. The perimeter variation due to the agency brands and disposal of non-core assets in the six months ended 30 June 2025 was -0.5%. Exchange Rate Effects The exchange rate effect for the six months ended 30 June 2025 was slightly negative at -1.8%. The following table shows, for the Group's most important currencies, the average exchange rates for the six months ended 30 June 2025 and the same period of 2024 respectively, and the spot rates at 30 June 2025, with the percentage change against the € compared with 31 December 2024. average exchange rates spot exchange rates for the six months ended 30 June 2025 1 Euro for the six months revaluation/(devaluation) ended 30 June vs. first half 2024 2024 : 1 Euro % at 30 June 2025 1 Euro at 31 December revaluation/(devaluation) 2024 vs. 31 December 2024 : 1 Euro % US$ 1.093 1.081 -1.1% 1.172 1.039 -11.4% Canadian Dollar 1.540 1.469 -4.7% 1.603 1.495 -6.7% Jamaican Dollar 172.687 168.160 -2.6% 187.834 161.513 -14.0% Mexican Peso 21.809 18.518 -15.1% 22.090 21.550 -2.4% Brazilian Real 6.291 5.495 -12.7% 6.438 6.425 -0.2% Argentine Peso (1) 1,391.439 975.388 -29.9% 1,391.439 1,070.806 -23.0% Russian Ruble (2) 94.977 98.135 3.3% 92.355 116.562 26.2% Great Britain Pound 0.842 0.855 1.5% 0.856 0.829 -3.1% Swiss Franc 0.941 0.962 2.1% 0.935 0.941 0.7% Australian Dollar 1.723 1.642 -4.7% 1.795 1.677 -6.6% Yuan Renminbi 7.926 7.801 -1.6% 8.397 7.583 -9.7% (1) The average exchange rate of the Argentine Peso for both periods 2025 and 2024 was equal to the spot exchange rate at 30 June 2025 and at 30 June 2024 respectively, based on IFRS accounting requirements for hyperinflation.

Statement of Profit or Loss in Detail The key profit or loss items for the six months ended 30 June 2025 are analysed below, while a detailed analysis of the 'sales performance' is included in the previous paragraph, to which reference is made. Gross profit for the period amounted to €933.9 million, reflecting an overall increase of +2.6% compared to the first six months of 2024. As a percentage of net sales, the gross margin stood at 61.1%, higher than 59.8% reported in the same period of 2024, and resulting in an accretive effect of +140 basis points on a reported basis. The organic component was positive at +0.9%, mainly driven by a -1.0% reduction in the costs of sales, despite the increase in net sales. This was primarily driven by a favourable phasing in cost of sales, especially in agave, despite incorporating the effect of initial tariff impact starting from April. Exchange rate variation contributed positively by +0.2% (equivalent to an accretion of +120 basis points), while the perimeter was also positive at +1.5% (resulting in a dilution of -20 basis points). Advertising and promotional expenses amounted to €254.0 million, reporting an increase of +9.7% compared with the first six months of 2024. In organic terms, the variation was positive by +8.2%, marginally dilutive of -120 basis points on profitability. This was primarily attributable to the front-loading of brand building investments ahead of the peak season (+18.8% in the second quarter of 2025), with a particular focus on supporting the Aperitifs portfolio. As a result, advertising and promotional expenses rose at 16.6% for the six months ended 30 June 2025 as a percentage of net sales, compared to 15.2% in the same period of the previous year. For the full year, they are expected to increase within a 17.0% - 17.5% range, reflecting continued strategic support for key growth drivers. Perimeter variation was positive at +3.0%, primarily associated with the activations of Courvoisier, and the exchange rate variation was -1.5%. Contribution margin was €679.8 million for the six months ended 30 June 2025, with a reported increase of +0.2% compared to the first six months of 2024. As a percentage of sales, contribution margin stood at 44.5% (44.6% reported in the comparative period). The organic component was -1.6% with a dilutive effect on profitability (-80 basis points). The perimeter effect was positive at +1.1%, with a dilutive effect of -40 basis points on profitability, while the exchange rate effect of +0.7% led to an accretive impact on margins of +110 basis points. Selling, general and administrative expenses amounted to €328.1 million in the first six months of 2025, up by +2.9% compared with the same period in 2024. As a percentage of sales, selling, general and administrative expenses represented 21.5% (20.9% in the comparative period). On an organic basis, an increase of +2.9% was reported (margin dilution of -60 basis points), mainly due to the carry forward effect of commercial investments in route to market, partially offset by the cost containment measures, which contributed to a progressive slowdown in growth in the second quarter of 2025. The cost containment program, launched in late 2024, is expected to deliver increasing benefits from the second half of 2025 onwards, with most of the planned initiatives already underway. The program remains on track to achieve a cumulated 200 basis point improvement in the selling, general and administrative expenses-to-sales ratio between 2025 and 2027, including a 50 basis point benefit anticipated in 2025. The result from recurring operations (EBIT-adjusted) for the period was €351.8 million. The return on sales-adjusted ('ROS') stood at 23.0%, down from 23.6% in the same period of 2024, resulting in a dilutive effect of -60 basis points on a reported basis. The organic component was -5.6%, with a profit dilution of -130 basis points on net sales. The impact of the exchange rate movements had an overall positive impact of +2.8% (+110 basis points accretive) mainly attributable to the depreciation of the Mexican Peso, partially offset by the negative effect of the Brazilian Real devaluation. The perimeter effect contributed positively at +0.5% (although it was dilutive by -40 basis points), reflecting the integration of the Courvoisier business through April 2025, partly offset by the discontinuation of agency brand distribution. Other operating income (expenses) resulted in a net expense of €10.8 million, compared with €24.4 million reported in the first six months of 2024. The figure for the six months ended 30 June 2025 primarily reflected a fixed asset impairment loss of €4.5 million and costs for business disposal of €3.0 million, mainly occurred from the disposal of the bottling facility in Australia, €1.7 million were associated with the finance transformation program, and €1.8 million linked to last-mile long-term incentive schemes with retention purposes to be potentially awarded to senior management. Operating result (EBIT) for the six months ended 30 June 2025 was €340.9 million, reflecting an increase of +1.6% compared with the first six months of 2024. ROS stood at 22.3% (22.0% reported in the same period of 2024). Depreciation and amortisation totalled €74.9 million, overall up by +27.3% on the six months ended 30 June 2024, of which +27.1% was at organic level, reflecting the effects of the recent extraordinary investments, -4.5% related to exchange rate variations and +4.6% increase due to perimeter. EBITDA-adjusted stood at €426.6 million, down by +1.9% compared to the same period of 2024 (-1.0% organic level, +1.8% exchange rate variations and +1.1% perimeter effect). EBITDA was €415.8 million for the six months ended 30 June 2025, with a positive variation of +5.4% on a reported basis compared with the same period of 2024. Net financial expenses totalled €50.3 million compared with €33.0 million reported in the same period of 2024, including the positive foreign exchange rate effect of cross-currency transactions of €0.5 million in the first six months of 2025 compared with the corresponding positive effect of €0.8 million reported for the six months ended 30 June 2024. Excluding these components, net financial expenses amounted totally to €50.8 million in the six months ended 30 June 2025, showing an increase of €17.0 million compared to the corresponding period of 2024. The variation was primarily driven by the effects of the Courvoisier acquisition, which led to a higher average net debt in the six months ended 30 June 2025 (€2,406.3 million at 30 June 2025 and €1,907.3 million at 30 June 2024) and to the interest income benefit in the first four months of 2024, supported by the significant cash position maintained ahead of the deal closing. The average cost of net debt was 4.3% (3.7% in the first six months of 2024). Excluding the aforementioned temporary benefit on available cash and on interest income impacting the 2024 results up to April 2025, the average cost of net debt in the first half of 2024 would have been 4.0%, slightly lower than the first half of 2025. A summary of the net financial expenses is provided in the following table. for the six months ended 30 June 2025 € million 2024 € million Total interest expenses bond, loans and leases Bank and other term deposit interest income Other net expenses (54.9) 8.2 (4.1) (53.1) 22.7 (3.3) Total financial expenses before exchange gain (losses) (50.8) (33.8) Exchange gain (losses) Financial income (expenses) and adjustments 0.5 (50.3) 0.8 (33.0) Focusing in more detail on the composition of interest, the result for the six months ended 30 June 2025 was primarily influenced by the following key factors: interest expenses on bonds and loans of €54.9 million, compared to €53.1 million recorded in the corresponding period of the previous year, primarily determined by the higher average net debt; interest income of €8.2 million compared to the €22.7 million recorded for the six months ended 30 June 2024 accrued from the substantial liquidity available from the issuance of new ordinary shares and senior unsecured convertible bonds, which have contributed to the majority of the income stream. The earn-out income (expenses) and hyperinflation effect was positive at €4.7 million and primarily related to remeasurement of earn-out liabilities. Profit (loss) related to joint-ventures and other investments represented a net loss of €1.5 million, mainly related to the results of the Dioniso Group joint-venture. Profit before taxation (Group and non-controlling interests) was €293.9 million, down -5.4% compared with the six months ended 30 June 2024. Profit before taxation as a percentage of sales was 19.2% (20.4% reported in the six months ended 30 June 2024). After excluding operating adjustments, the profit before taxation-adjusted amounted to €304.2 million, down -8.7% compared to the six months ended 30 June 2024, adjusted accordingly. Taxation amounted to €88.1 million on a reported basis in the six months of 2025. The reported tax rate was 30.0%, broadly in line with the reported tax rate of 30.3% in the same period of 2024. Excluding adjustments to operating, financial and fiscal expenses mentioned above (totalling €0.6 million in the first half of 2025 compared to €3.3 million in the first half of 2024), the normalised tax rate was 29.2% in the first six months of 2025, consistent with the 29.2% recognised in the previous year. Excluding the impact of the non-cash component attributable to the deferred taxes relating to the amortisation of goodwill and brands eligible for tax purposes (€6.9 million in the six months of 2025, down from €8.2 million in the six months of 2024 with the variance driven by the end of the tax amortisation period of the Wild Turkey and The GlenGrant brands), the cash tax rate was 26.9%, slightly above the 26.7% cash tax rate for the half year ended 2024, due to country mix effects. Profit (loss) before taxation relating to non-controlling interests for the period under analysis was negative at €0.7 million, compared to a loss of €3.1 million in the year 2024. Group net profit was €206.4 million in the six months of 2025, a decrease of -6.0% compared to 2024, with a sales margin of 13.5%, lower than 2024 (14.4%). Excluding the adjustments to the operating and financial result and the related tax effects and tax adjustments, the Group's net profit decreased by -9.5% to €216.2 million (€239.0 million in 2024 reported on a consistent basis). Basic and diluted earnings per share were both €0.17. After excluding for the specific accounting adjustment mentioned above, both amounted to €0.18. Adjusted basic earnings per share and adjusted diluted earnings per share declined by -9.6% and -10.0%, respectively, versus 2024 on a consistent basis. The recap of the adjustment items for the six months ended 30 June 2025 and 2024 are shown in the following table. for the six months ended 30 June 2025 2024 € million € million adjustments to operating income (expenses) (10.8) (24.4) adjustments to financial income (expenses) 0.5 1.9 tax adjustments 0.6 3.3 total net adjustment (9.7) (19.3) for the six months ended 30 June € million reported 2025 adjustments adjusted reported 2024 adjustments adjusted changes reported adjusted profit before taxation 293.9 (10.3) 304.2 310.7 (22.6) 333.3 -5.4% -8.7% total taxation (88.1) 0.6 (88.7) (94.1) 3.3 (97.4) -6.3% -8.9% tax adjustments (4.2) - tax effect on operating and financial adjustments 4.8 - net profit for the period 205.7 (9.7) 215.5 216.6 (19.3) 235.9 -5.0% -8.7% tax rate (reported and adjusted) -30.0% -29.2% -30.3% -29.2% deferred taxes on goodwill and trademarks (6.9) (6.9) (8.2) (8.2) cash tax rate -26.9% -26.7% Profitability by Business Area A breakdown of the three geographical regions in which the Group operates is provided in the following tables and shows the percentage of sales and the operating result from recurring activities for each segment for the two periods under comparison.

EMEA is the Group's largest region in terms of net sales at 50.4%, and profitability at 54.9%, followed by Americas (net sales and profitability respectively 43.6% and 47.5%) and APAC (net sales and profitability respectively 6.0% and -2.4%). Americas reported a result from recurring activities at 47.5% of the Group's overall result, up +3.2% corresponding to a slight dilution of -50 basis points, driven by gross margin accretion of +30 basis points due to positive evolution in cost of sales dynamics, supported by agave and other input costs only partially offset by negative sales mix effect and the impact of tariffs. Advertising and promotional expenses were dilutive by -40 basis points while general and administrative expenses also contributed with a -40 basis points dilution. These developments are aligned with the Group's strategic approach, which remains focused on sustaining brand investment and operational resilience amid ongoing market pressures. Both reported lines reflected a conscious allocation of resources aimed at preserving brand equity and driving long-term cost efficiency, in line with Group-wide trends. EMEA reported a result from recurring activities at 54.9% of the Group's overall result (-4.5% compared to 2024). The region recorded an organic margin dilution of -160 basis points, primarily driven by gross margin accretion of +60 basis points largely attributable to a favourable sales mix, namely the increased contribution of aperitifs, with only limited benefit from pricing during peak season. Advertising and promotional expenses were dilutive by -190 basis points, reflecting continued strategic activations during peak season, with a particular focus on supporting the Aperitifs portfolio. Selling, general and administrative expenses were dilutive by -30 basis points driven by the carry-over effect of previous completion of business investments, as expected, with the overall trend remaining one of cost containment and efficiency, in line with the Group's strategic priorities. APAC reported a result from recurring activities at -2.4% of the Group's overall result and organic margin dilution of -400 basis points with an overall contribution remaining relatively negligible within the broader context of the Group's operations. Gross margin was accretive by +30 basis points, mainly driven by the mix effect in Australia, while advertising and promotional expenses and selling, general and administrative expenses were incorporating the effects of brand building investments and the carry-over impact of commercial strengthening to support accelerated growth going forward, leading to margin dilution of -150 basis points and -280 basis points, respectively. Operating Working Capital The breakdown of the total change in operating working capital compared with the figure at 31 December 2024 is as follows. at 30 June 2025 € million at 31 December 2024 € million total change € million organic € million exchange rates, hyperinflation and other € million Trade receivables 408.4 425.8 (17.4) (0.9) (16.4) Total inventories, of which: 1,703.5 1,703.1 0.4 89.8 (89.4) - maturing inventory 1,116.8 1,127.0 (10.2) 45.9 (56.1) - biological assets 27.1 21.3 5.8 6.3 (0.6) - other inventory 559.6 554.8 4.8 37.5 (32.7) Trade payables (544.4) (672.7) 128.2 101.3 27.0 Operating working capital 1,567.5 1,456.3 111.2 190.1 (78.9) Sales in the previous 12 months rolling 3,074.2 3,069.7 Working capital as % of net sales rolling 51.0 47.4 At 30 June 2025 operating working capital amounted to €1,567.5 million, reporting a rise of €111.2 million compared to 31 December 2024 which, in terms of percentage over net sales, increased from 47.4% at the end of 2024 to 51.0% at the end of June 2025 on reported basis. The value growth was mainly related to organic growth of €+190.1 million caused by reduction in trade payables and a step-up in inventories, which was partially offset by held for sale transfer and negative exchange rate variation, for a total of €78.9 million. Focusing exclusively on organic performance, trade receivables showed a negligible reduction of €0.9 million, broadly in line with the trend in net sales, despite a continued improvement in collection conditions throughout the semester. Inventories reported an organic increase of €89.8 million, primarily driven by a €45.9 million rise in maturing liquid across bourbon, scotch, rum and cognac reflecting the Group's strategic focus on premiumisation. Additionally, other inventory increased by €37.5 million, mainly in finished goods across various brands in the United States, anticipating tariff-related impacts, and in other geographies to restore stock levels in line with operational needs ahead of the summer peak season. It should be noted that, due to its nature, ageing liquid is comparable to invested capital as its growth profile is planned over a long-term horizon. Trade payables experienced an organic decrease of €101.3 million compared to 2024, largely driven by business dynamics, particularly in the last quarter of 2024, with phasing effects on suppliers rolling over into the 2025 period. The decrease of €78.9 million related to the exchange rate component was primarily associated with inventories, which saw a reduction of €89.4 million. This was driven by maturing inventory for €56.1 million, mainly related to the stock held in the United States, Jamaica and in the United Kingdom.

(2) For information on the value shown, please see note 5 ii-'Property, Plant and Equipment and Right-of-Use Assets by Nature' of the Campari Group Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements at 30 June 2025. Key Highlights At 30 June 2025, net cash flow showed a cash flow absorption of €52.1 million, also reflected as an equivalent increase in the net financial debt compared to 31 December 2024, to which a positive exchange rate effect of €47.0 million was added. The cash generation in terms of free cash flow on a reported basis was positive at €34.9 million in the first six months of 2025 compared to a negative free cash flow of €60.1 million reported in the same period of 2024. The recurring free cash flow was solid during the period totalling €113.0 million, compared to €130.8 million of generation in the first six months of 2024. In terms of percentages on EBITDA-adjusted, recurring free cash flows totalled 26.5%, compared to 31.2% in the same period of 2024. Analysis of the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows The following drivers contributed to the generation of the above-mentioned free cash flows in the first six months of 2025: operating result (EBIT) amounted to €340.9 million, compared to €335.6 million in the same period of 2024, and included a negative effect of €10.8 million related to operating adjustments (negative €24.4 million in the first six months of 2024). Excluding operating adjustments, the result from recurring activities (EBIT-adjusted) amounted to €351.8 million (€360.0 million in the same period of 2024); EBITDA amounted to €415.8 million increasing by €21.4 million on the previous year. Excluding the aforementioned non-recurring components, EBITDA-adjusted amounted to €426.6 million (€418.8 million in the first six months of the last year); non-cash component arising from the application of the hyperinflation accounting standard in Argentina amounted to €2.4 million (€8.6 million in the period of comparison); accruals for provisions net of utilisations and other miscellaneous operating changes showed a negative effect of €48.2 million. The change is primarily attributable to the execution of the restructuring plan launched in late 2024, aimed at achieving cost containment objectives. At 30 June 2025, payments related to employee termination of €33.3 million (of which €24.8 million related to the restructuring program); non-cash write-off losses related to tangible and intangible assets and business disposals stood at €7.5 million and related primarily to the impairment loss in connection with the disposal of the bottling facility in Australia (€6.8 million); the cash financial impact deriving from the tax payments effected the first six months of 2025 was €20.8 million, broadly in line with the previous year; working capital recorded a cash absorption of €190.1 million (refer to the paragraph 'Operating Working Capital' for details), broadly in line with the previous year; net interest paid amounted to €50.1 million in the first half of 2025, compared to €26.0 million in the same period of 2024. The increase was primarily related to the higher interest received in the comparative period, driven by the significant positive cash position held ahead of the Courvoisier deal closing; net investment in capital expenditure amounted to €81.7 million, of which the recurring component was €43.2 million. Extraordinary capital expenditure thus amounted to €38.5 million, confirming the Group's commitment to continue to invest in the expansion of its production capacity and efficiency to support long-term growth and sustainability initiatives. Cash flow invested in other activities was negative at €99.3 million, compared to a negative absorption of €515.6 million in the first half of 2024 (the latter mainly due to the acquisition of the Courvoisier business net of the proceeds from the issuance of new Davide Campari-Milano N.V.'s shares) resulting primarily in: dividends paid of €78.0 million; other items including net sale of own shares for €20.3 million. New lease changes, put option and earn-out liabilities changes are presented solely to reconcile net cash flows for the period with total net financial debt. These components collectively contributed to an improvement in net debt for €12.3 million. Net Financial Debt As of 30 June 2025, consolidated net financial debt amounted to €2,381.9 million, up by €5.1 million and broadly in line with the net debt of €2,376.9 million reported at 31 December 2024. Changes in the debt structure in the two periods under comparison are shown in the following table. at 30 June 2025 € million at 31 December 2024 € million total change € million of which organic exchange rates € million € million cash and cash equivalents 476.3 666.3 (190.0) (173.5) (16.5) loans due to banks (338.8) (289.6) (49.2) (60.3) 11.2 lease payables (18.8) (18.8) - (0.7) 0.7 other financial assets and liabilities (0.6) (21.1) 20.5 20.2 0.2 short-term net financial position 118.1 336.9 (218.7) (214.3) (4.4) bonds (1,584.9) (1,580.3) (4.5) (4.5) - loans due to banks (735.6) (916.5) 180.8 144.3 36.5 lease payables (49.5) (58.7) 9.2 6.9 2.3 other financial assets and liabilities 22.6 10.2 12.4 13.2 (0.9) medium-/long-term net financial position (2,347.5) (2,545.3) 197.9 159.9 38.0 net financial debt before put option and earn-out (2,229.3) (2,208.5) (20.9) (54.4) 33.6 liabilities for put option and earn-out payments (152.6) (168.4) 15.8 2.3 13.5 net financial debt (2,381.9) (2,376.9) (5.1) (52.1) 47.0 As of 30 June 2025, net financial debt remains skewed into medium- to long-term maturities in line with Campari Group's long-term growth strategy, supported by significant credit lines available to the Group. Of these, €400.0 million are committed until 2029 (undrawn as of 30 June 2025) and €441.1 million are uncommitted (with €106.5 million drawn down at 30 June 2025). The short-term net financial debt position was confirmed to be positive at €118.1 million, comprising cash and cash equivalents (€476.3 million) net of loans payable to banks (€338.8 million). The organic decrease of €214.3 million compared to 31 December 2024 was mainly driven by the dividend payment (€78.0 million), capital expenditure initiatives (€81.7 million), purchase of own shares (€21.6 million) and income taxes paid (€20.8 million). The ongoing execution of the restructuring plan disclosed in late 2024 also impacted the short- term net financial debt position movements, with a related cash outflow for employee termination of €33.3 million (of which €24.8 million related to the restructuring program). The medium to long-term financial debt position, primarily consisting of bonds and loans due to banks, totalled €2,347.5 million. The Group's bank loans include sustainability-linked facilities for an original nominal aggregated value of €450.0 million (€415.0 million at 30 June 2025), reinforcing the Group's commitment to its sustainability journey. These facilities provide for a variable interest rate component tied to the achievement of certain environmental, social, and governance ('ESG') targets identified by Campari Group and which are particularly focused on the reduction of emissions, responsible use of water and gender equality. Furthermore, the Group's net financial debt position included liabilities of €152.6 million related to future commitments to acquire outstanding minority interests in controlled companies as well as liabilities for put options and earn-out payments. Moreover, the reported variation in the net financial debt was impacted by positive exchange rate effects of €47.0 million, mainly driven by the devaluation of the US$ against the € on the loans and liabilities for put option and earn-outs denominated in such currency. At 30 June 2025, Campari Group's net debt/EBITDA-adjusted ratio 1 stood at 3.2 times, down from 3.5 times at 30 June 2024 and in line with the 3.2 times ratio reported at 31 December 2024. On a proforma basis, adjusting the ratios at 30 June 2024 and 31 December 2024 to reflect the simulated full-year EBITDA contribution of the newly acquired business, the index would remain unchanged. Capital Expenditure During the first half of 2025, net investments totalled €81.7 million, of which €43.2 million were recurring and €38.5 million were non-recurring. The recurring investments were related to initiatives focused on continuously enhancing the supply chain, via efficiency improvements, sustainability-related initiatives and business infrastructure development. Specifically, they related to the following projects: maintenance expenditure on the Group's operations and production facilities, offices and IT infrastructure which, although individually not material, amounted overall to €14.7 million; the purchase of barrels for maturing bourbon and rum totalling €18.4 million, net of related disposals; investments to develop biological assets, totalling €10.2 million. In terms of non-recurring investments, initiatives associated with supply chain capacity expansion aimed at meeting anticipated long-term consumer demand were carried out for an amount of €31.0 million, net of the disposal related to the bottling facility in Australia (€8.6 million). The initiatives were primarily allocated in the United States to expand bourbon production capacity (€19.5 million), in Jamaica (€9.3 million), in Mexico to expand supply chain facilities for tequila production (€7.7 million). Moreover, €3.2 million were related to the real-estate project to host the Group's future new headquarters. Focusing on sustainability-related investments included in the aforementioned initiatives and totalling €7.7 million, they were primarily related to Jamaica (€6.7 million). Additionally, the Group continued to pursue its digital transformation path, investing €4.2 million during the six months ended 30 June 2025. The investments also included an integrated transformation program designed to support the Group's strategic agenda: it enhances planning capabilities, drives actionable insights through improved external data connection and structures, thus achieving improved business outcomes. Concerning the nature of investments, net purchases encompassed tangible assets totalling €60.2 million, biological assets namely related to agave plantations amounting to €10.2 million and intangible assets valued at €11.3 million. Lastly, investments for the rights of use of third-party assets were related to tangible assets attributable to offices, plant and machinery and vehicles, which increased by €3.5 million during the period. Reclassified Statement of Financial Position The Group's financial position is shown in the following table in a summarised and in reclassified format, to highlight the structure of invested capital and financing sources. 1 For information on the definition of alternative performance measures, see the paragraph 'Definitions and Reconciliation of the Alternative Performance Measures (APMs or non-GAAP measures) to GAAP measures' of this Management Board Report. of which at 30 June 2025 € million at 31 December 2024 € million total change € million organic change € million exchange rates, hyperinflation and other € million fixed assets 5,036.8 5,326.3 (289.5) 12.4 (301.9) other non-current assets and (liabilities) (403.2) (457.1) 54.0 25.2 28.8 operating working capital 1,567.5 1,456.3 111.2 190.1 (78.9) other current assets and (liabilities) (109.8) (93.3) (16.5) (63.6) 47.1 total invested capital 6,091.3 6,232.2 (140.9) 164.1 (305.0) Group shareholders' equity 3,708.3 3,854.0 (145.7) 92.8 (238.5) non-controlling interests 1.1 1.3 (0.2) 19.2 (19.4) net financial debt 2,381.9 2,376.9 5.1 52.1 (47.0) total financing sources 6,091.3 6,232.2 (140.9) 164.1 (305.0) Invested capital at 30 June 2025 was €6,091.3 million, showing an overall decrease of €140.9 million compared with the figures at 31 December 2024. The variation of €305.0 million was mainly attributable to the effect of exchange rate movements most notably attributable to intangible assets including brands and goodwill (€191.4 million), as well as on inventory, primarily linked to maturing stock (€56.1 million), and the reclassification of the disposal group net assets related to the Cinzano and Frattina businesses, which were classified as held for sale and accordingly reported under current assets at 30 June 2025 (refer to paragraph 'Significant Events of the Period'). Focusing on the organic change, the most significant variations attributable to the invested capital referred to: the increase of €190.1 million in operating working capital, mainly attributable to a decrease in trade payables largely driven by business dynamics and a rise of inventories level aligned with operational needs ahead of the summer peak season (refer to paragraph 'Operating Working Capital'); the change of €63.6 million in other current liabilities net of assets, mainly related to value added tax as well as excise taxes; the increase of €12.4 million in fixed assets, mainly related to investments envisaged for enhancing supply chain capacity and efficiency and sustainability-related initiatives. In terms of financing sources, significant changes occurred, notably, an overall decrease of €145.7 million in the Group's shareholders' equity. This decrease predominantly arose from the combined effect of the positive Group net results for the period of €206.4 million, dividend payment of €78.0 million, purchase of own shares of €21.6 million, as well as a decrease in non-monetary foreign currency effect of €244.8 million. The net financial debt variations reported an overall increase of €5.1 million (refer to the paragraph 'Net Financial Debt'). As a result of the changes mentioned above, the Group's financial structure showed a net debt to shareholders' funds ratio of 64.2% at the end of the period, slightly increased from 61.7% recorded at 31 December 2024. Half-Year 2025 Conclusion and Outlook The context of current uncertain economic environment and low visibility persisted also in the second quarter of 2025, albeit with some moderate improvement in sell-out in all key markets but Germany, and continuing sector outperformance. The third quarter, being a peak season for the Group's aperitif business, will be fundamental for clearer visibility. Campari Group continues to maintain a prudent stance for the short-term and remains focused on what it can control, namely deleverage and cost management, as well as commercial execution and pricing discipline, with significant advancement on portfolio streamlining. For 2025 the previously provided guidance 1 for the organic performance with moderate top-line growth and flat EBIT-adjusted margin before tariff impact remains the target. The negative impact from tariffs before possible mitigation actions, is expected ranging from a minimum of approximately €4 million, assuming EU tariffs are lifted and Canada/Mexico maintain exemption, to a maximum of €45 million on EBIT in 2025 2 (nil up to a maximum of approximately €90 million annualised) depending on confirmation of the scope and rates. Concerning foreign exchange, the weakening of the US dollar may result in potential additional adverse effects, while perimeter effect is expected to be negligible on EBIT. Scenario Actual impact for the six months ended 30 June 2025 Expected 2025 full-year impact Annualised impact EU 38% of United States business 0% (for 2025, 10% until August) 15% (for 2025, 10% until August) €2 million c. €4 million - c. €20 million c. €35 million Jamaica 3% of United States business 10% c. €1 million c. €2 million Mexico and Canada 30% of United States business USMCA - - exemption - 30% as of August c. €20 million c. €50 million Probable outcome: €21 million in 2025 (€37 million annualised).
