As of March 31, 2026, De Nora stock is covered by six financial analysts (2 Buy, 4 Neutral) from various national and international brokerages. The average target price expressed by analysts as of March 31, 2026, was Euro 8.2.

Summary of the accounting principles adopted and of the criteria adopted for the preparation of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements
Criteria for the preparation of the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements
The De Nora Group has prepared these Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements in accordance with IAS 34 - Interim Financial Reporting by applying the same accounting standards adopted in the preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements as of December 31, 2025 and in effect as of March 31, 2026, in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") and endorsed by the European Union, hereinafter the "IFRS". The IFRS have been applied consistently in all the periods presented. These Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements have been prepared in "condensed" form, i.e., with a significantly lower level of disclosure than required by IFRS, as permitted by IAS 34, and should therefore be read in conjunction with the Group's consolidated financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2025, prepared in accordance with IFRS and approved by the Board of Directors on March 17, 2026.
The Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements consist of the interim consolidated statement of financial position, the interim consolidated income statement, the interim consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the interim statement of changes in the net consolidated equity, and the interim consolidated statement of cash flows, as well as the explanatory notes.
Assets and liabilities as of March 31, 2026 are compared with the consolidated statement of financial position as of December 31, 2025. The amounts in the consolidated income statement, consolidated statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in the net consolidated equity, and consolidated statement of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2026, are compared with the respective amounts for the three months ended March 31, 2025.
The Group has chosen to present the consolidated income statement by the nature of the expenses, highlighting the interim results relating to the operating result and the result before tax.
The statement of financial position is prepared using the format whereby assets and liabilities are presented on a "current/non-current" basis. An asset is classified as current when:
it is assumed that such asset is carried out, or is held for sale or consumption, in the normal course of the operating cycle;
it is mainly owned for trading purposes;
it is assumed that it will be realized within twelve months from the closing date of the period;
it consists of cash and cash equivalents (unless it is forbidden to exchange it or use it to settle a liability for at least twelve months from the closing date of the period).
All other assets are classified as non-current. In particular, IAS 1 includes property, plant and equipment, intangible assets and long-term financial assets among non-current assets.
A liability is classified as current when:
it is expected to be settled in the normal operating cycle;
it is mainly owned for trading purposes;
it will be settled within twelve months from the closing date of the period;
there is no unconditional right to defer its settlement for at least twelve months after the end of the period. The clauses of a liability that could, at the option of the counterparty, give rise to its settlement through the issue of equity instruments, do not affect its classification.
All other liabilities are classified by the company as non-current.
The operating cycle is the time that elapses between the acquisition of assets for the production process and their realization in cash or cash equivalents. When the normal operating cycle is not clearly identifiable, its duration is assumed to be twelve months.
The consolidated statement of cash flows is prepared using the indirect method.
The statement of changes in the consolidated equity shows the changes in shareholders' equity items related to:
the recognition of the result for the period and allocation of the result of the previous period;
amounts relating to transactions with shareholders;
all gains and losses, net of tax, which, as required by IFRS, are accounted for directly in equity (actuarial gains and losses arising from defined benefit plans and hedging reserves);
changes in the fair value reserves relating to cash flow hedges, net of taxes;
changes in the consolidation scope;
the effect of the differences from the conversion of the financial statements of foreign companies;
changes in accounting principles.
The consolidated statement of comprehensive income presents, on a separate basis, the profit/(loss) for the period and any income and expense not recognized in the income statement, but recognized directly in equity, in accordance with specific IFRS principles.
The Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements have been drawn up in Euro, the Company's functional currency. The financial position and income statements, the explanatory notes and the tables are expressed in thousands of Euro, unless otherwise indicated.
The Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements were prepared:
on a going concern basis, as the Directors verified the absence of financial, management or other indicators that could indicate significant uncertainties about the Group's ability to meet its obligations in the foreseeable future and, in particular, in the 12 months following the closing date, as compared to the date of these interim financial statements. The assessments made confirm that the Group is able to operate in compliance with the going concern assumption and in compliance with financial covenants;
on an accrual basis of accounting, in compliance with the principle of relevance and significance of the information, of the prevalence of substance over form and with a view to favoring consistency with future presentations. The assets and liabilities, costs and revenues are not offset against each other, unless this is permitted or required by IFRS;
on the basis of the conventional historical cost criterion, except for the valuation of financial assets and liabilities in cases where the application of the fair value criterion is mandatory.
Changes in accounting principles
With regard to the accounting standards and amendments applicable from January 1, 2026 and to the accounting standards and amendments that are not yet applicable, they are already described in the Consolidated Financial Statements at 31 December 2025 to which reference should be made. There aren't substantial updates.
Structure and content of the Consolidated Financial Statements
The Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements include the economic and financial position of the Company and its subsidiaries, prepared based on the related accounting situations and, where applicable, appropriately adjusted to make them compliant with IFRS.
As of March 31, 2026, the financial statements of the companies in which the Company directly or indirectly has control have been consolidated using the "full consolidation method", by fully including the assets and liabilities and the costs and revenues of the subsidiaries.
Companies in which the Group exercises significant influence are measured using the "equity method", which foresees the initial recognition of the equity investment at cost and the subsequent adjustment of the carrying amount to reflect the investor's share of the related company's profits or losses after the acquisition date.
The companies included in the consolidation scope as of March 31, 2026 are as follows:

The main recognition, classification and valuation criteria and accounting policies adopted for the preparation of the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements are consistent to those adopted for the preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements as of December 31, 2025 to which reference is therefore made, except for the adjustments required by the nature of the interim reporting.
The Group has not early adopted any standard, interpretation or improvement issued but not yet in effect.

Furthermore, income taxes for the period are determined based on the best possible estimate in relation to the available information and on the reasonable expectation of the year's performance until the end of the tax period.

Revenue for the first three months of 2026 stood at Euro 178,546 thousand (Euro 200,396 thousand for the first three months of 2025), a decrease of Euro 21,850 thousand (approximately 11%). However, at constant exchange rates - that is, converting the figures in currencies other than the Euro for the first three months of 2026 at the historical exchange rates of the first three months of 2025 - the decline in revenue would be limited to 3.6%.
The decline in revenue was recorded in the Electrode Technologies and Energy Transition segments, only partially offset by higher revenue in the Water Technologies segment, thanks to the significant contribution from the Pools business line.
