unfavorable calendar (absence of Tecna in Italy and Fesqua in Brasil).

Organized Events at 61% of consolidated revenues (+1pp net of bi-annual effect) in line with our strategic growth's driver focusing on LoB with higher profitability.

Congresses at 9% of consolidated revenues (+1pp) despite a lower number of events as results of the strategy of selecting larger and more profitable events.

Guidance

The macroeconomic and geopolitical environment continues to be characterised by uncertainty, not least in relation to the recent tensions in the Middle East, the development of which is being closely monitored by the Group's management. At present, the geopolitical situation does not allow for precise and realistic assessments to be made regarding any potential effects on the Group's financial results. Based on the limited information available, it is believed that any economic and financial impacts are likely to fall within the forecast ranges already communicated during the presentation of the Business Plan and set out below. In consideration of the performance of the current quarter and the visibility provided by the current order book, the Group confirms the targets set out in the 2025-2030 Business Plan for the 2026 financial year.
