A Resilient Business Model and a Sustainable TransformationFY 2025: NEW CONTRACTS 68% E-MOBILITY1
A&C is committed to developing a business portfolio of new products for purely electric vehicles, while
67% of the awards related to
E-mobility
continuing to leverage its leadership position on ICE platforms. During 2025, A&C:
concluded an agreement with a leading North American manufacturer for the supply of cooling plates for 100% electric vehicles
secured multiple new orders in China for hybrid or electric platforms and signed a direct agreement
with a major battery manufacturer for an innovative product called "battery cooling stripes"
won a new contract in Europe with a North American leader in global power solutions for cooling plates
secured a supply agreement for ICE components to a leading European manufacturer, for the replacement of a competitor on an ongoing production
66%* of the awards related to
E-mobility
Suspensions (not impacted by the EV transition) in FY 2025 obtained a very significant amount of new business, mostly in Europe:
in the Passenger Cars and LCV segments, for the supply of stabilizer bars
in the Heavy-Duty segment, with the extension for further 5 years of leaf springs and stabilizers supplies to a major manufacturer of heavy commercial vehicles, and with the acquisition of new orders in non-automotive sectors (Defense and Railway)
Excluding Heavy Duty
2026: MANAGEMENT EXPECTATIONS ON TARIFFS
Air & Cooling achieved €217m revenues of in the USMCA region in 2025, selling components produced in Canada and Mexico primarily to General Motors, Ford, and Stellantis. Of these, 50% were destined to customer production facilities in Canada and Mexico, and 50% were imported by customers in the United States.
Direct impact of tariffs:
Since Sogefi does not directly export to the United States, leaving this task to its customers, and does not produce in the US, thus not being subject to import duties on materials and components there, no significant direct impacts from tariffs are currently being recorded, nor are expected based on current regulation
Moreover, approximately 70% (in value) of components exported to the US are USMCA-compliant and therefore, based on current regulation, are not subject to duties even on Sogefi's customers
Regarding procurement, since Canada introduced counter-tariffs on steel products, Sogefi's manufacturing operations in Canada are experiencing an increase in the cost of steel components purchased from US suppliers which, however, is not significant at this time
Therefore, the direct impact of the tariffs on Sogefi is currently not significant; however, given the high uncertainty on the evolution of the tariff regimes, it cannot be excluded that an impact could arise in the future
In the medium term, if the tariffs remain in place, Sogefi could also be exposed to:
the risk of weaker volumes in USMCA and Europe (exports), due to lower demand as a consequence of higher car costs
The risk of increased pressure by OEMs on selling prices
the risk of losing competitiveness vs. competitors producing in the US, due to the tariffs that North American customers may have to pay on products purchased from Sogefi in Canada and Mexico (this risk could be mitigated, if not offset, by the increases in production costs that US
competitors could experience due to the tariffs on imported raw materials and components) 16

2026 Outlook17
2026 OUTLOOK
Visibility regarding the automotive market's performance in the coming months is severely impacted by the uncertainties surrounding the geopolitical and economic context and international trade, also in-light of the recent developments regarding tariffs adopted by the American administration.
S&P Global's (IHS) latest estimate predicts that, after growth in 2025 (+3.7%), global auto production will decline slightly (-0.4%) in 2026, with a sharp decline in Q1 (-4%) and a subsequent recovery. By geographic area, production is expected to decline further by approximately 2% in Europe and NAFTA, but also, after significant growth in 2025, in China (-1.4%). Growth of 7.8% is expected in India and 5.8% in South America.
Regarding raw material and energy prices, after the favorable trends recorded in 2024 and continued throughout 2025 (with the exception of energy), there is a risk of increased volatility based on the impacts of US tariffs on the supply chain.
Considering the weight of Europe and North America in its business portfolio and current exchange rates, Sogefi expects a low/mid-single-digit revenues decline for 2026 and an Adjusted EBIT margin substantially in line with that recorded in 2025, excluding any non-recurring charges and new events/circumstances that could negatively impact the automotive market. Specifically, these forecasts are made in a context of significant uncertainty regarding the evolution of the global economy and automotive production, and a greater decline in volumes, than currently expected, cannot be ruled out starting in the coming months.
