1. Review and approval of the financial statements as of December 31, 2024, accompanied by the management report, the report of the Board of Statutory Auditors and the Independent Auditors. Presentation of the group consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2024 and related reports. Related and consequent resolutions.
Dear Shareholders,
you have been convened in ordinary session to approve the financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2024, which were reviewed by the Board of Directors of Energy S.p.A. ("Company") on March 27, 2025 and prepared in accordance with national accounting standards (OIC).
I would first like to extend my sincere thanks for the trust and support you continue to show toward the Energy Group. The year 2024 presented us with decidedly significant challenges, which are well represented in the operating results and which led us to make decisions that were not easy. In any case, aware of their importance, we have given continuity to projects that we have long considered strategic and launched some useful initiatives to lay further foundations for future developments in the field of storage systems.
Specifically, we point out that the year as of December 31, 2024 closed with a statutory loss of 17,113,969 euros and a consolidated group loss of 17,609,258 euros.
Fiscal year 2024 was a year of transition and transformation for Energy S.p.A, we had to navigate a complex market environment, characterized by lower prices in the renewables sector, severe demand contraction, and macroeconomic uncertainties. Despite these challenges, we reacted with determination, investing in strategic areas for the future.
The 2024 fiscal year was characterized by a contraction in revenues attested at 37.2 million consolidated and statutory revenues at 35.4 million euros; the Parent Company Energy S.p.A. in 2023 had achieved revenues of 63.3 million euros. This contraction is caused by the combined effect of several factors i) a significant drop in prices due to oversupply across the entire renewables sector, with a particular effect on photovoltaic modules, but with significant values also in storage; ii) the persistence of relatively high interest rates for most of 2024, leading to less liquidity available for investments; slippages on the rate cut have contributed to an expectation effect and a decrease in the confidence index; iii) the postponement of the Transition 5 decree.0 and other important initiatives expected in Italy, which

generated serious uncertainties. The postponement caused a temporary slowdown in investment, as many companies chose to postpone installation decisions pending clarification of the new mechanisms and how they would be applied. This led to a slowdown in new storage projects, especially large-scale ones; (iv) volume contraction-especially in the residential sector-as a result of the previous points.
The margin in the year under analysis is down compared to 2023, with negative EBITDA amounting to 15.7 Million euros at the parent company level and negative consolidated EBITDA and amounting to 15.9 Million euros; this decrease compared to 2023 is mainly the effect of the downward dynamics of prices and of an inventory efficiency campaign undertaken during the year, in addition to targeted promotion campaigns on products and accumulation kits undertaken during the year. The margin, in fact, includes an allocation to the inventory write-down provision of 10 Million euros, necessary in part to realign the value of some assets to the current market value. Adjusted EBITDA - i.e., EBITDA net of the aforementioned write-down, as reconstructed in the chapter "Economic Indicators - Reconciliation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA" - is Euro -5.7 Million (-16% Adjusted EBITDA Margin) at the statutory financial statements level and parts at Euro -5.9 Million (-16% Adjusted EBITDA Margin) at the consolidated financial statements level.
With reference to the financial performance, fixed assets increased significantly compared to the previous year and amounted to 27.4 Million Euros (13.2 Million Euros as of 12/31/2023). Tangible fixed assets amounting to 19.9 Million Euros (7.3 Million Euros as of 12/31/2023) include investments in the new building under construction on the land adjacent to the headquarters, machinery of the battery assembly line, equipment, and furniture. Intangible assets amounted to 6.6 million euros (4.7 million euros as of 12/31/2023) and included mainly costs for listing on EGM for 3.1 million euros (historical cost) and development costs for 3.6 million euros. Financial fixed assets in the statutory financial statements of 3.4 million euros mainly include the equity investments of Pylon LifeEU S.r.l, Energyincloud S.r.l. and Energyonsite S.r.l, and long-term financial receivables from the latter.
Trade working capital has moved during the year, presenting a result as of December 31, 2024 of 26.6 million euros at the consolidated level and 26.1 million euros for the Parent Company alone (51.2 million euros as of December 31, 2023) consisting mainly of net inventories of 24 million euros (56 million euros as of December 31, 2023), trade receivables of 6 million euros (4.6 million euros as of December 31, 2023) and trade payables of 4 million euros (9.8 million euros as of December 31,
2023). The total figure is 48 percent lower than at the close of fiscal year 2023, mainly due to a reduction in inventories.
