CONSTRUCTION WORKS FOR THE REALIZATION OF THE NEW "CARDIOVASCULAR HEART CENTER" AT AURELIA HOSPITAL STARTED (AUGUST 2025) Rome, September 11, 2025 - Garofalo Health Care S.p.A. ("GHC") today approved the Half-Year Report as of June 30, 2025, drawn up as per IAS/IFRS international accounting principles. Maria Laura Garofalo, Chief Executive Officer of GHC, stated: "The results for the first six months benefited from a particularly positive second quarter, allowing us to confirm our organic growth expectations for the 12 months of 2025. The Group's outlook continues to be particularly favourable, thanks in part to the continued recognition of significant incremental extra-budget (some of which were also granted during the summer months for the 2026 financial year), as well as additional resources allocated by the Lazio Region for the reorganization of the territorial/psychiatric area with new improved tariffs and further potential accreditations on which we are actively working. Finally, I am very pleased to announce the start in August of the expansion works for the construction of the Cardiovascular Heart Center at the Aurelia Hospital, which will be completed by the end of 2026 and will provide our Group and the Lazio Region with a center of healthcare excellence of international renown." GHC Group H1 2025 consolidated key operating highlights

The GHC Group's H1 2025 results, as for the H1 2024 results, include the full contribution of Sanatorio Triestino, acquired in May 2023, and of the Aurelia Hospital Group, acquired in November 2023.

‌(1)Operating EBITDA Adjusted defined as EBIT + depreciation and amortisation + provisions and write-downs + adjustments (these latter in H1 2025 negative for approx. €0,05M and mainly concerning M&A costs). The H1 2024 adjustments were negative for approx.

€0.04M and mainly related to M&A costs

‌(2)Calculated as the ratio between NFP and Operating EBITDA Adj. for the last 12 months

Consolidated Half-Year Revenues

GHC consolidated Revenues in H1 2025 totalled €258.2M, up €6.7M on €251.5M in H1 2024 (+2.6%).

These results, as in Q1, particularly benefit from the increase in healthcare services provided to Out-of-Region patients, confirming the consistent attractiveness of the Group healthcare facilities.

The H1 2025 results include the contribution of Sanatorio Triestino (€10.2M, improving €0.2M from €10.0M

in H1 2024) and of Aurelia Hospital Group (€52.1M, improving €3.5M on the previous year).

Q2 2025, in addition to the increased services provided to Out-of-Region patients indicated above, benefited also from the growth of healthcare services provided to "out-of-pocket" private patients (+3.3%, improving on the substantially flat result registered in Q1 2025).

Consolidated Half-Year Operating EBITDA Adjusted

Consolidated Operating EBITDA Adjusted in H1 2025 totalled €47.2M, with a margin of 18.3%. This figure reflects the expected positive performance of the second quarter, which is up on Q2 2024, thus reversing the trend recorded in the first few months.

The H1 2025 results include the contribution of Sanatorio Triestino (€1.4M, reducing €0.4M on H1 2024, mainly due to the higher energy costs incurred by the subsidiary Terme del Friuli-Venezia Giulia) and of Aurelia Hospital Group (€5.0M, substantially in line with H1 2024 despite extraordinary and "one-off" costs also related to the pre-acquisition years).

The H1 results are in line with the Group's expectations of organic growth in terms of Operating EBITDA Adjusted over the 12 months 2025.

Consolidated Half-Year EBIT

H1 2025 EBIT was €33.5M, substantially in line with H1 2024 (€33.4M).

This result reflects: (i) amortisation, depreciation and write-downs of approx. €13.2M, increasing €0.8M on

€12.4M in H1 2024, mainly due to the increased depreciation on buildings and plant and machinery and (ii) Impairments and other provisions of €0.4M, reducing €1.8M on €2.2M in H1 2024, mainly due to the reduced net provisions.

Consolidated Half-Year Net Profit

The consolidated Net Profit was €19.5M, up €0.5M on €19.0M in H1 2024 (+2.6%). This figure reflects: (i) net financial charges of €5.7M, reducing €1.0M vs. €6.7M in H1 2024, mainly due to the lower cost of debt thanks to the new financing conditions agreed in July 2024 and (ii) income taxes of €8.3M, up €0.6M on

€7.7M in H1 2024 as a result of the higher profit before taxes.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS TO PERIOD-END

Garofalo Health Care S.p.A. announced on July 18, 2025 that it has been awarded the assets and liabilities of Casa di Cura Città di Roma S.p.A. in liquidation. The transaction allows GHC to achieve - at regime -significant incremental benefits in terms of competitive positioning and marginality outlook through an overall reorganisation of the activities provided by Città di Roma, Aurelia Hospital and European Hospital.

Città di Roma, accredited with the Regional Healthcare Service, is equipped with 112 authorised beds, of which 104 accredited, in the specialties of Urology, Gynaecology, Orthopaedics and Traumatology, General Surgery, General Medicine, Ophthalmology, Intensive Dependency Care, Day Surgery and Day Hospital. In 2025 an additional 60 beds (authorised and accredited) are expected to be activated, of which 30 in extensive Dependency Care and 30 in maintenance Dependency Care, which will increase the facility's total equipment to 172 authorised beds (of which 164 accredited). In addition, the facility has 2 haemodialysis rooms with a total of 24 stations and provides specialist and diagnostic outpatient services under both accredited and private regimes.

In addition to the above, it should be noted that in August 2025, the construction works began for the realization of the new "Cardiovascular Heart Center" at Aurelia Hospital, which is expected to be completed in approximately 14 months (i.e. in Q4 2026).

OUTLOOK

The healthcare sector is characterised by a now consolidated trend of growth in the need for care supported by an increase in the resources allocated for the coming financial years for the National Healthcare Fund and by the solid growth of private healthcare expenditure. In this context, GHC is well positioned, both geographically and in terms of the mix and quality of healthcare services offered, to benefit both from the greater resources that will be allocated to reducing waiting lists and from the aforementioned trend of expansion in private spending. In light of the above, the Group expects to continue its path of organic growth in 2025, also being able to count on the recognition - which has already taken place in the first months of the year - of significant budget increases in particular for the facilities of Rugani Hospital (Tuscany Region) and of the Aurelia Group (Lazio Region), that - for the Aurelia Group - also relate to the new financing mechanism of the Emergency Room.

Furthermore, as part of the Lazio Region's new program for social dependency care activities aimed at meeting growing regional needs, it should be noted that new tariffs for dependency care activities came into effect in September, with consequent positive effects for the facilities of Villa Von Siebenthal, Hospice S. Antonio da Padova, and Struttura Residenziale Psichiatrica Samadi (the latter two part of the Aurelia Hospital Group). In this context, Struttura Residenziale Psichiatrica Samadi has also submitted a formal request for the accreditation of additional beds (with the consequent recognition of an additional budget), which, once approved, will contribute to further improve the overall performance of the Aurelia Group.

Finally, as demonstrated by the recent acquisition of Casa di Cura Città di Roma, the Group renews its commitment to the Buy & Build strategy that identifies M&A's as one of the main drivers of its short and medium-term development.
