Company officers and delegation of powersThe Board of Directors will remain in office until the approval of the financial statements at December 31, 2025. It was appointed by the Shareholders' Meeting held on April 27, 2023 and consists of 12 Directors.
Within the scope of the Board of Directors, the following powers have been granted.
The following duties have been assigned to the Chairman, Ms Laura Zanetti: to submit proposals to be resolved on by the Board of Directors; to supervise and ensure compliance with the principles of Corporate Governance approved by the Company and propose any amendment to them to be submitted to the Board of Directors for approval; to supervise the regularity of meetings and actions of the corporate bodies ensuring that the documentation relating to the items on the agenda is made available to Directors and Statutory Auditors suitably in advance; to supervise the work of the Chief Operating Officer with reference to real estate management transactions; to promote the Company's image; in agreement with and in coordination with the Chief Executive Officer, to maintain relations with the economic-financial community, institutional bodies and authorities.

The Chairman is not granted managerial powers.
As Chief Executive Officer, Carlo Pesenti has been assigned the following tasks, among others, in addition to the general power of representation of the Company: to submit proposals to be resolved on by the Board of Directors; to oversee the execution and implementation of the investment plans defined by the Board of Directors; to look after the management policies, corporate development strategies of Italmobiliare S.p.A. and its subsidiaries, held directly or indirectly; to oversee and direct the activities of Italmobiliare S.p.A. and its direct or indirect subsidiaries; to assist in setting guidelines for managing the companies in which Italmobiliare S.p.A., directly or indirectly, holds an equity investment that allows it to exercise significant influence; to look after corporate organisation and propose important amendments to the Board of Directors.
To carry out the above mentioned tasks, the Chief Executive Officer can perform any appropriate initiative and, by way of example: as part of the Company's general policies on accounting reporting (i) to prepare the separate and consolidated draft financial statements (along with the necessary reports and the accompanying notes) to be submitted to the Board of Directors for approval and (ii) to prepare the half-yearly and quarterly financial statements required by current regulations; to prepare Italmobiliare S.p.A.'s budgets and long-term development and investment plans to be submitted to the Board of Directors for approval; to define the general guidelines for the financial management of the Company and the Group; to determine the addresses relating to the choice of the main managers of Italmobiliare S.p.A., excluding the Chief Operating Officer, whose appointment falls under the competence of the Board of Directors, and of the main companies directly or indirectly controlled, as well as, for Italmobiliare S.p.A. only, to personnel management.
The same person has been assigned the powers to carry out managerial, developmental, and decision-making activities. The powers granted for the office of Chief Executive Officer can be exercised within a limit of 25 million euro, except for transactions on derivatives and the provision of guarantees in general (in the interest of the Company or its subsidiaries), which can be made within a limit of 50 million euro, transactions to sell securities of listed companies, which can be made within a limit of 100 million euro per single trading day, and real estate transactions, which can be made within a limit of 10 million euro and, if exceeding that amount, up to 25 million euro, require the joint signature of the Chairman.

The Board assigned him the mandate to: i) supervise and oversee the operations of Italmobiliare and its directly and indirectly controlled companies to ensure full ESG integration at all stages of investments, promoting value creation founded on sustainable economic growth that respects human and labour rights; ii) evaluate and explore initiatives to promote the international expansion of Italmobiliare and its directly and indirectly controlled companies.

DIRECTORS' REPORT
AT JUNE 30, 2025
DIRECTORS' REPORT
Information on operationsINTRODUCTION
The interim report at June 30, 2025 is prepared in compliance with article 154 ter, paragraphs 2, 3 and 4 of Legislative Decree no. 58 of February 24, 1998, and subsequent amendments.
The condensed interim financial statements are prepared in consolidated form in accordance with paragraph 3.
During the first half of 2025, the consolidation scope changed due to the increase in the consolidation percentage of Farmagorà from 24.662% to 25.205% following the subscription of a capital increase; the line-by-line consolidation of Ecoscan S.r.l. (Italy), 100% acquired by Casa della Salute S.p.A., with a total investment of 2.5 million euro; the merger by incorporation into Casa della Salute S.p.A. of the following companies: Cairo Medical S.r.l., Cairo in Salute Specialistica S.r.l., Centro Medico Ippocrate S.r.l., D.O.G.M.A. S.r.l., PLV S.r.l., Polo Dentale Studio Odontoiatrico S.r.l. and SA.LU.COM. S.r.l.; the merger by incorporation of San Samuele S.r.l. into Officina Profumo-Farmaceutica di Santa Maria Novella S.p.A.; the increase in the consolidation percentage of the company Bene Assicurazioni from 19.996% to 24.996% resulting in its consolidation using the equity method (previously measured at FVTOCI); and the reclassification of the subsidiary Credit Mobilier de Monaco in accordance with IFRS 5.
SIGNIFICANT EVENTS DURING THE PERIOD
On June 18, 2025, the purchase of an additional 5% interest in Bene Assicurazioni was finalised. Following this transaction, Italmobiliare's interest stands at 24.996%. The company has been accounted for using the equity method in the consolidated financial statements starting from June 30, 2025.
NET ASSET VALUE
At June 30, 2025, the NAV per share (excluding treasury shares) amounts to 52.0 euro and, considering the dividend distribution of 0.9 euro per share, and shows an increase of 1.0% compared with December 31, 2024.
The Net Asset Value of Italmobiliare S.p.A., excluding treasury shares, comes to 2,200.0 million euro (2,215.8 million euro at December 31, 2024); considering the distribution of dividends during the half year for 38.0 million euro, the net performance is positive at 22.2 million euro.

The net NAV performance for the half year, before the distribution of dividends amounting to 38.0 million euro, was positive at 22.2 million euro. This result was mainly driven by the positive contribution of the Portfolio Companies (26.0 million euro), Other Equity Investments (15.6 million euro), and Trading Activities (3.5 million euro), partially offset by holding costs (11.2 million euro) and taxes (5.1 million euro).

(2.2 million euro at December 31, 2024) and the net financial position of the vehicles FT2 S.r.l. and FT3 S.r.l. after reclassification of the 6 million euro loan granted to Archimede S.p.A. to "Other equity investments".
(*) The subsidiary Callmewine S.r.l., given the marginal impact on NAV, was reclassified from "Portfolio Companies" to "Other equity investments". Accordingly, the figures

(**) The criteria used for calculating NAV may be different from those adopted by other companies, so the figures may not be comparable.
At June 30, 2025, the value of "Portfolio Companies" showed an overall increase of 21.3 million euro. This growth is mainly attributable to positive performances amounting to 26.0 million euro, primarily driven by Italgen and Bene Assicurazioni, the contribution of 7.0 million euro at the Casa della Salute capital increase, and the payment of 6.5 million euro for the acquisition of an additional 5% interest in Bene Assicurazioni. These positive effects were partially offset by dividend distributions amounting to 18.3 million euro.
The value of "Other equity investments" amounted to 189.1 million euro, up mainly due to the positive fair value effect (15.6 million euro) of certain listed equity investments and investments made of 28.4 million euro, primarily related to the payment on account of a future capital increase in Credit Mobilier and the investment in Lewis S.p.A. (the vehicle used for the co-investment in Microtec alongside Clessidra). These positive effects were partially offset by dividend distributions.
The decrease in "Financial assets, trading, cash and cash equivalents," amounting to 86.9 million euro, was mainly driven by dividends paid (-38.0 million euro), operating costs and taxes (-16.3 million euro), investments in private equity funds net of redemptions (-14.4 million euro), and other investments (-40.5 million euro). These effects were partially offset by dividends received (18.9 million euro) and positive trading performance (3.7 million euro).
The NAV at June 30, 2025 was calculated by following a specific procedure, based on valuations by independent experts, taking into account:
the market price at June 30, 2025 of the equity investments in listed companies;
the value of non-listed companies, determined on the basis of commonly used valuation methods (DCF and/or market multiples) or, where sufficient information is not available for the application of the methods envisaged by the International Private Equity and Venture Capital (IPEV) valuation guidelines and/or their consistency can be considered immaterial, based on their net equity resulting from the latest approved financial statements, determined in accordance with IAS/IFRS or local accounting standards;
the market value of the real estate assets held;
the deferred tax effect, if any.
The Independent Auditors have carried out a limited assurance assignment according to the International Standard on Assurance Engagements (ISAE) 3000 (Revised) to verify the conformity of the valuation methods adopted by the Directors for calculating NAV with the IPEV criteria.

Italmobiliare posted revenue of 52.7 million euro for the half year, down from 110.2 million euro at June 30, 2024. The decline was mainly due to the sale of AGN Energia completed in the previous year (39.6 million euro), the decrease in dividends received from associate companies (12.6 million euro), and the impairments on equity investments (4.3 million euro), as well as the negative performance of private equity funds, affected by euro-dollar exchange rate dynamics.
Looking at the pro-forma aggregate of the Industrial Portfolio Companies:
Revenue amounted to 739.3 million euro, up by 12.3% compared to the first half of 2024. All portfolio companies reported growth, in particular CDS-Casa della Salute (+20.4%), Officina Profumo-Farmaceutica di Santa Maria Novella (+13.5%), SIDI (+11.0%) and Bene Assicurazioni (+29.7%). Italgen remained stable, delivering excellent results despite a challenging comparison with the first half of 2024, which had benefited from exceptionally high rainfall that had driven hydroelectric production to record levels.
At aggregate level, gross operating profit declined to 43.4 million euro. The result was impacted by the performance of Caffè Borbone - which incurred higher costs of 26.7 million euro due to the elevated price of green coffee that, after reaching record levels, began to decline significantly from April, although the positive effects are only expected to be reflected in the income statement of the second half of the year - as well as by Italgen, which compares with a record first half of 2024, and by Tecnica. All other portfolio companies reported improved results.
Looking at the individual companies, while reference should be made to the relevant sections for further details:
In the food sector, Caffè Borbone consolidates its leadership in the large-scale retail trade (GDO), confirming its position as the leading brand by sales volume in the single-serve segment on the Italian market. During the period, the company recorded revenue of 184.5 million euro, up 10.7% compared to the first half of 2024, with particularly strong performance in the second quarter (+15.2%). International markets continued to grow, reporting an 18% increase compared to the same period of the previous year. Gross operating profit amounted to 23.3 million euro, down mainly due to higher costs of 26.7 million euro incurred for the purchase of green coffee. Capitelli consolidates its premium positioning in the market, closing the half year with revenue up 6.8% at 12.4 million euro and gross operating profit of 2.5 million euro, up 19.8%.
Officina Profumo-Farmaceutica di Santa Maria Novella continued its growth trajectory, focusing particularly on the development of the direct sales channel, which is strategic for brand positioning and value enhancement. During the first half of the year, the company recorded revenue of 32.5 million euro, up 13.5% thanks to strong performances across all distribution channels. Gross operating profit amounted to 6.6 million euro, an increase of 13.7%.
CDS-Casa della Salute continued its growth by opening new centres in Piedmont, a strategic region for the group's future development, and launched its first facility in Sardinia, in the city of Sassari. CDS recorded revenue of 38 million euro in the first half of the year, up 20.4% compared to the same period of the previous year. The gross operating profit, net of non-recurring costs, amounted to 6.5 million euro, up 18% compared to the same period in 2024.
Italgen has started construction work on two new photovoltaic plants, with a total installed capacity of nearly 15 MW. In the first half of the year, the company showed strong absolute results, with total energy production above historical averages but down compared to the same period of the previous year, when hydroelectric production benefited from exceptionally high rainfall volumes. Revenue amounted to 32.3 million euro and gross operating profit stood at 14.1 million euro.
In the outdoor sector, SIDI closed the first half of 2025 with improved results compared to the same period in 2024. This progress is the result of the company's renewal and relaunch process, which included the launch of the new logo in May. The company ended the half year with revenue of 15.6 million euro, up 11%, and a gross operating profit negative at 0.4 million euro, an improvement compared to the first half of 2024. Tecnica Group recorded revenue of 171.5 million euro, up 3.2% compared to the same period in 2024, thanks to strong performances from most of its brands. The gross operating profit was negative at 12.2 million euro, down compared to the same period of the previous year. However, the company has already implemented cost containment measures, the effects of which are expected to become visible as early as the end of the year.
ISEO closed the first half of 2025 with revenue of 78.4 million euro, up 6.9% compared to the same period of the previous year. Looking at market segments, encouraging signs came from the electronic segment, which grew by 20%. The gross operating profit was substantially stable at 5.2 million euro.
Bene Assicurazioni recorded premium income of 174.1 million euro, up 29.7% compared to the same period of the previous year, with a positive contribution from all distribution channels.
Lastly, the Clessidra Group, a non-industrial portfolio company, closed the first half of 2025 with a positive brokerage margin of 20.6 million euro, up 15%.

(*) The figure at December 31, 2024 has been restated for a better data comparability.
The main economic indicators in the first half of 2025 are as follows:
Revenue and income, equal to 363.4 million euro, were up by 25.8 million euro (+7.6%), mainly thanks to the positive contribution made by Caffè Borbone, CDS-Casa della Salute and Clessidra.
Gross operating profit (EBITDA), equal to 41.8 million euro, was down by 34.6 million euro compared to the same period of the previous year, mainly due to the decline in the performance of Caffè Borbone, Italgen and Italmobiliare.
Operating profit (EBIT), after lower amortisation and depreciation compared with the first half of 2024, amounted to 15.8 million euro (54.7 million euro in the first half of 2024).
Profit/(loss) before tax, after finance income and costs and the share of profit/(loss) of equity-accounted associates, came to -7.0 million euro, compared to 63.5 million euro at June 30, 2024. It should be noted that the 2024 result of equity-accounted associates included a capital gain of 25.4 million euro from the disposal of AGN Energia.
Profit/(loss) after tax was negative at 6.1 million euro compared to positive 57.9 million euro at June 30, 2024.
Total equity at June 30, 2025 was 1,637.0 million euro, while the Equity attributable to the owners of the parent company was 1,448.0 million euro, compared to 1,673.1 million euro and 1,481.4 million euro respectively at December 31, 2024.
Financial and industrial investments were made in the first half of 2025 for a total of 93.7 million euro, 30.0 million euro up on the same period in 2024.
The consolidated financial position at June 30, 2025 was negative at 262.8 million euro, compared to -133.4 million euro at the end of December 2024. The change was mainly due to the costs generated by operating activities (-10.4 million euro), the flow of investments and divestments (-93.7 and +9.3 million euro, respectively), and dividend payments (-39.2 million euro).
FINANCE COSTS AND OTHER ITEMS
Net finance costs increased from 4.3 million euro to 6.5 million euro.
Note that this item does not include the finance income and costs of Italmobiliare and the other finance companies as, being part of their core business, they are included in the items that make up gross operating profit.
PROFIT FOR THE PERIOD
The above figures resulted in a negative result before tax of 7.0 million euro (positive at 63.4 million euro at June 30, 2024).
After positive income taxes of 0.9 million euro (negative at 5.5 million euro in the first half of 2024), the profit for the period was negative at 6.1 million euro (positive at 57.9 million euro in 2024), of which -10.6 million euro attributable to the Group and +4.5 million euro attributable to third parties (+49.7 and +8.2 million euro respectively in the same period of 2024).

EQUITY
Total equity at June 30, 2025 was 1,637.0 million euro, 36.1 million euro down on December 31, 2024. The overall change was mainly due to:
the loss for the period of 6.1 million euro;
the change in the fair value reserve on FVTOCI investments for 16.3 million euro, net of the related tax effect;
dividends approved for 47.3 million euro;
change in the consolidation area and other negative changes for 1.0 million euro;
change in non-controlling interests amounting to 2.7 million euro, decreasing from 191.7 million euro at December 31, 2024 to 189.0 million euro at June 30, 2025. This change is mainly attributable to the distribution of dividends for -9.3 million euro (approximately 8 million euro to non-controlling interests of Caffè Borbone), offset by the share of profit for the period of 4.5 million euro.
At June 30, 2025 the share capital of Italmobiliare S.p.A. was equal to 100,166,937 euro, divided into 42,500,000 ordinary shares. At June 30, 2025 Italmobiliare S.p.A. holds 217,070 ordinary shares as treasury shares, equal to approximately 0.5% of the share capital. Note that in July the Company launched a share buyback program, covering up to 350,000 shares, equivalent to 0.824% of the share capital, for a maximum total consideration of 10 million euro.
NET FINANCIAL POSITION
At June 30, 2025, the net financial position was negative at 262.8 million euro, down by 129.4 million euro compared to December 31, 2024 (-133.4 million euro).
A breakdown of the "Net financial position" is given in the notes to the consolidated financial statements in the relevant section on page 79.

RESULTS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE FINANCIAL MODEL
Given the specific nature of the Company, in order to allow a full understanding of its performance, the following table shows the results in a format normally used for finance companies. This format shows:
"Net gains (losses) on equity investments" which include dividends received in the case of equity investments measured at FVTOCI. On the other hand, in the case of equity investments in subsidiaries and associates (measured at cost), this item includes both dividends and gains/losses realised on sales, as well as any impairments or revaluations;
"Net gains (losses) on investments of cash and cash equivalents", which include interest income on bank coupons and deposits, impairment gains or losses on bonds and trading equities measured at FVTPL, gains/losses realised on the sale of trading securities, income/expense on trading derivatives and investment funds measured at FVTPL and "Net borrowing costs". "Net borrowing costs" consist essentially of interest expense on borrowings, bank commissions and costs;
"Other income and expense", which include personnel expense and operating expenses for the financial structure, net of amounts recovered from other Group companies or third parties.

(*) Note that the figures at June 30, 2024 differ from those previously published, as the cost of the Value Creation Sharing Incentive Plan related to the disposal of AGN Energia was reclassified from "Net gains (losses) on equity investments" to "Other income and expense".
Net gains (losses) on equity investments are positive at 30.4 million euro, down by 56.6 million euro compared to
86.9 million euro at June 30, 2024. The decrease is mainly attributable to the sale of AGN Energia, completed in the previous financial year (39.6 million euro), lower dividends received from associates (12.6 million euro), and increased impairments on investments (4.3 million euro).
Net gains (losses) on investments of cash and cash equivalents show a negative balance of 1.0 million euro (versus a positive balance of 19.3 million euro at June 30, 2024), mainly relating to the performance of Investment Funds and Private Equity Funds, which were impacted by exchange rate effects.
Other income and expense are negative at 12.0 million euro (-15.0 million euro at June 30, 2024), mainly due to the absence of non-recurring income.
After positive taxes of 7.5 million euro (positive at 9.9 million euro at June 30, 2024), benefiting from a 4.8 million euro reimbursement related to the Ansaldo dispute, the half-year result is positive at 24.9 million euro (positive at 101.1 million euro at June 30, 2024).
EQUITY
Equity at June 30, 2025 amounts to 1,336.2 million euro, up by 0.7 million euro compared to December 31, 2024 (1,335.5 million euro), mainly due to:
an increase in the fair value of the FVTOCI investments for 14.2 million euro (gross of the tax effect);
sales of FVTOCI investments during the period (-0.2 million euro);
dividends approved for 38.1 million euro;
a profit for the period of 24.9 million euro.

The main outflows include payment of the ordinary dividend (-38.0 million euro), the investments in investee companies (-42.4 million euro), private equity fund investments, net of reimbursements (-14.4 million euro), holding company costs and taxes (-17.8 million euro).

During the first half of the year, Caffè Borbone steadily pursued its growth and consolidation strategy, implementing a number of strategic initiatives in marketing, communication and commercial development. Notably:
the company has consolidated its leadership in Modern Distribution (Large-Scale Retail and Specialised Large-Scale Distribution), confirming its position as the leading brand by sales volume in the single-serve segment, both in the channel and across the entire Italian market.
In May, two new commercials from the "For Everyday Heroes" campaign were launched. The two commercials are part of a comprehensive media strategy that, in addition to airing on major traditional broadcast channels, connected TV (CTV), and product placement formats, also included a multichannel campaign across digital touchpoints to ensure broad visibility and maximise reach among a diverse audience.
As part of a strategy to strengthen brand awareness and bring the brand closer to a broad and diverse audience, a new digital campaign focused on winter sports was also launched. The spots feature seven young talents, including Federica Brignone, led by two icons of Italian skiing: Alberto Tomba and Deborah Compagnoni. A partnership was also established with Eroica, a vintage cycling event held in several countries around the world, which enjoys strong international popularity among cycling enthusiasts.
On the product side, the company relaunched its Nespresso®1-compatible aluminium capsule line with new blends and formats for both the Italian and international markets. It also launched K-Cup system capsules and ground coffee specifically for the North American market, introduced the new BluMoon pod machine, and unveiled a new range of Nescafé Dolce Gusto®1-compatible self-protecting capsules designed to optimally preserve the coffee's aroma and flavour. This innovative self-protecting solution is available in various pack formats and features Caffè Borbone's signature blends, adapted to this extraction system - the third most widely used in the world.
The first half of 2025 also unfolded in a persistently challenging competitive environment, marked by exceptionally high prices for Robusta quality coffee, which peaked at $5,800 per tonne (compared to an average of $3,520 per tonne in the first half of 2024). Although a significant decline in prices was observed starting from the end of April, its effects have not yet been substantially reflected in the income statement for the first half of the year.
In the first half of the year, Caffè Borbone recorded revenue of 184.5 million euro, a 10.7% increase compared to the same period of the previous year, primarily driven by pricing dynamics. The second quarter 2025 showed solid acceleration, with growth of 15.2%. The international business continued to expand, recording an 18% increase compared to the same period of the previous year.
At June 30, the gross operating profit was 23.3 million euro, down compared to 37.4 million euro recorded in the same period of the previous year. The result was impacted by higher green coffee procurement costs, amounting to 26.7 million euro, which were largely offset by the pricing policies adopted by the company.
After amortisation and depreciation of 6.5 million euro, the operating profit came to 16.7 million euro.
The net financial position at June 30, 2025 was negative at 59.6 million euro. Cash generation2 in the half year was positive at 9.7 million euro, which does not yet reflect the positive impact on working capital of the decline in coffee prices mentioned above.
SIGNIFICANT EVENTS AFTER THE REPORTING DATE

During the first half of the year, Officina Profumo-Farmaceutica di Santa Maria Novella continued to strengthen its presence in international markets, pursuing a clear global expansion trajectory. Particular emphasis was placed on the direct sales channel, considered strategic for brand positioning and value enhancement. Notably, a new boutique was opened in the United States, in Las Vegas, one of the world's most iconic destinations. This opening represents a further step in the international development of the retail network, offering an experience consistent with the brand's historical identity and excellence.
Officina Profumo-Farmaceutica di Santa Maria Novella is also a featured exhibitor at Expo 2025 in Osaka, within the Italian Pavilion, one of the most visited and celebrated exhibition spaces at the event. For the occasion, the company has chosen to present its iconic Pot Pourri essence, a symbol of its tradition and centuries-old heritage, offering international visitors an authentic olfactory journey through Italy's cultural legacy.
In the first half of the current year, the company recorded revenue of 32.5 million euro, marking significant growth of 13.5% compared to the same period of the previous year. This trend is the result of strong performances across all distribution channels. The retail channel grew by 15.3%, while e-commerce posted a 17.7% increase. This made the performance of the Direct-to-Consumer (DTC) channel particularly significant, with an overall increase of 15.7% during the period. Representing approximately 70% of Officina Profumo-Farmaceutica di Santa Maria Novella's total revenue, this channel is central to the company's development strategy as it ensures more direct control over the customer experience, a privileged dialogue with the end consumer, and constant oversight of brand positioning. Finally, indirect channels also performed well, growing by 8.7%.
In terms of product offering, fragrances contributed significantly to revenue growth, further supported by the successful recent launch of the Eau de Parfum line "I Giardini Medicei," which includes the new Acqua, Quercia, Ambra, and Incenso fragrances. The body care category also performed well, continuing to meet market expectations.
The gross operating amounted to 6.6 million euro, up 13.7%. Excluding the impact of non-recurring costs of 0.6 million euro (0.5 million euro at June 30, 2024), the current gross operating profit came to 7.2 million euro. A positive result, supported by significant volume growth. Despite a context marked by substantial strategic investments aimed at strengthening the brand - including the enhancement of the central team, the strengthening of marketing activities, and the opening of new stores - margins showed a slight improvement, confirming the soundness of the development model undertaken.
The net financial position was negative at 14.0 million euro and includes approximately 25 million of lease liabilities related to rents in the direct retail channel, in accordance with IFRS 16. Net of the 5.0 million euro dividend payment made during the half year and certain non-cash items, cash generation in the half year was negative at 3.4 million euro, mainly due to retail investments and working capital dynamics.
