CONSOLIDATED
FINANCIAL
REPORT
Asat30June2025
The Consolidated Financial Report as at 30/06/2025 shows a Net income for the period came to €1.7 million, up by approximately 12% from €1.5 million in the first half of 2024, in a highly complex environment still marked by considerable uncertainty (geopolitical tensions due to armed conflicts and economic pressures from tariffs threatened by the Trump Administration, weakness in the EU, etc.).
Revenues amounted to €59 million, down 2.3% compared with the first half of 2024, but with EBITDA of €9.0 million (15.3% of revenues compared with 14.2% in the first half of 2024). On a like-for-like basis and at constant exchange rates, as detailed below, revenues would have shown growth compared to the figure for the first half of 2024.
The market has therefore rewarded STAR7's ability to ensure a high level of service in a highly complex global environment; the Group has succeeded in consolidating its market position thanks to the quality and reliability of its services. The "fundamental" factors that characterise the Company's operations have proven to be crucial: breadth of professional skills; ability to offer technologically advanced solutions; orientation towards efficiency with the right amount of flexibility; wide range of services to meet market needs.
The results confirm that our "Integrale7" business model continues to work effectively, offering us the ability to cross-sell additional services to newly acquired customers.

Consolidated Financial Report as at 30/06/2025
REPORT
STAR7 provides an integrated range of product-information services, from product and process engineering support to the creation and management of technical and marketing content,
translation, printing and virtual experience.
The Group has continued its programme to enhance its structure and reinforce the core values of the parent company, in line with the project initiated prior to listing. This includes strengthening and expanding the services provided, introducing innovative solutions, and promoting and encouraging its skilled workforce to adapt to a changing market, which is now leaning towards solutions that incorporate AI. The research and development activities in the field of AI, adopting a technology-agnostic approach, have enabled continuous evaluation of leading, emerging, and promising technologies for the target markets. This has led to the development of a know-how that is conducive to creating flexible solutions, which are not tied to any particular platforms.
This strategy, alongside the development of demonstrative Proof of Concepts with leading industry clients, has resulted in the creation of a new suite of AI-driven services and applications (known as "7AI"), encompassing both language technologies and the generation and analysis of content.
This new suite of services enables STAR7 Group to provide AI-based solutions that are natively multilingual in the areas of Virtual Assistants, Customer Support, and Academy Training.
In-house "human" capabilities used in training artificial intelligence, aimed at enhancing its reliability and responsiveness, are an asset in this new suite of services.
Research and development continues to focus on Virtual, Immersive and Augmented Reality by developing products and solutions that, with progressive improvements thanks to generative AI technologies, cater to the growing need for virtualisation within customer businesses.
Today, STAR7 Group is able to deliver increasingly cutting-edge solutions in the areas of Virtual Training, Virtual Showrooms and Product Experience, by making the most of its technical information management skills acquired over time through engineering and technical authoring.
On 13 January 2025, the acquisition of the business divisions of C.A.A.R. S.p.A. (registered office in Turin, Via Treviso 36) and S.T.I. s.r.l. (registered office in Bolzano, Via Buozzi 14/16), including the investee companies C.A.A.R. do Brasil Consultoria Tecnica LTDA (now renamed Star7 Engenharia e Consultoria Tecnica LTDA, 76% owned) and Abacaar Doo Kraguievac (now renamed Star7 Doo Kraguievac, 100% owned) was completed.
It should be noted that the aforementioned business divisions and investee companies were operated under a lease agreement from 1 January 2023 until the final acquisition.
The acquisition of a further 10% stake in CAAR do Brasil Consultoria Técnica LTDA, in which STAR7 already held a 66% stake, was also finalised in the first half of the year. The transaction was finalised for R$ 3.2 million (approximately €513,000 at the exchange rate of the transaction), further strengthening the Group's presence in the strategic market of Brazil.
In the first half of 2025, STAR7 reported revenues of approximately €59 million at current exchange rates (€60 million at constant exchange rates).
On a like-for-like basis and at constant exchange rates, revenues would have shown growth compared to the figure for the first half of 2024. It should be noted that some negative-margin projects in the Engineering service line have been discontinued in the first half of 2025. These projects, inherited from the acquisition of CAAR-STI, had generated about €0.5 million in revenues in the first half of 2024. As part of the ongoing rationalisation strategy aimed at improving profitability, STAR7 opted to discontinue them.
In the first half of 2024, the Group recorded growth of approximately 19% compared to the same period of the previous year. Maintaining stable revenues in the first half of 2025, despite the discontinuation of non-strategic contracts and against a complex macroeconomic context, is therefore a positive result, which confirms the soundness of the business model and the Group's ability to generate sustainable value in the long term.
The tables below show adjusted data, prepared with the aim of providing a clearer, more transparent and comparable representation of the Group's operating performance. Although these figures are not required by the Italian accounting
standards (IT GAAP) issued by the OIC, the Group believes that they can provide useful information for both management and investors. In particular, the use of adjusted data allows a more effective assessment of operating results, facilitates comparisons with the performance of other companies active in the same sector, and provides an additional and more representative view of income performance.
The consolidated figures have been adjusted to exclude non-recurring items, so as to isolate extraordinary effects that could alter the reading of the underlying performance. In particular, personnel costs related to the corporate reorganisation were adjusted as detailed in the following sections.
In addition, consistent with major international accounting standards, such as IFRS, which do not require systematic amortisation of goodwill but do require it to be tested annually for impairment, the Adjusted Net Profit was calculated excluding goodwill amortisation.

Adjusted EBITDA in the first half of 2025 excludes personnel costs related to the corporate reorganisation in the amount of €591 thousand, while the same figure in the first half of 2024 excludes €574 thousand mainly related to the costs of reorganising the business divisions of C.A.A.R. S.p.A. and S.T.I. s.r.l.
Group Revenues for the first half of 2025 amounted to € 59.0 million, a slight decrease of approximately 2.3% compared to of €60.4 million in the first half of 2024.
As regards the breakdown of revenues by service line, the Experience and Product Knowledge line held its ground, accounting for about 33.4% of the total, up from 31.7% for the whole of 2024 and 33.3% in the first half of the same year. This result reflects the strengthening of the high value-added offering and the growing demand for specialised services in the technical and training field.
The Global Content line accounted for 32.6% of total revenues, a slight decline compared with the first half of 2024 and FY2024, reflecting a rebalancing of the
offer mix, consistent with the strategy of focusing on projects with more strategic clients that integrate the various service lines.
The Engineering line accounted for 21%, up from the previous year's figures (20.4% in 1H24 and FY24). The figure reflects the discontinuation of some projects with negative margins (as mentioned above). On a like-for-like basis and at constant exchange rates, this service line would have shown even more significant growth, driven in particular by the positive performance recorded in Brazil thanks to the contribution of a leading operator in the automotive sector. This confirms the solidity of demand and the Group's ability to intercept highly technical opportunities in international markets.
The Printing line remained stable at 13.0%, in line with the full year 2024.

The geographical breakdown of revenues for the first half of 2025 confirms STAR7's progressive internationalisation. The Italian market accounts for around 47.8% of Group revenues. This trend reflects the growing penetration of Revenues realised in foreign markets, with a particularly strong performance in Brazil, which rose to 20.5% (compared to 18.1% in H1 2024) despite the depreciation of the Real.
Geographical breakdown of Group revenues | 1H24 | FY24 | 1H25 |

During the period, the Group recorded an increase in margins compared to the same period of the previous year. This performance is the combined result of greater operational efficiency, which has enabled significant cost containment, and the strategic decision to concentrate resources on initiatives with higher technological content and, therefore, greater added value.
In the first half of 2025, the EBITDA of the STAR7 Group amounted to €9.0 million, while Adjusted EBITDA (adjusted for integration and restructuring costs mainly related to the CAAR Group business unit) reached €9.6 million. The EBITDA Margin stood at 15.3% while the Adjusted EBITDA Margin was 16.3%.
EBITSTAR7 Group EBIT amounted to €4.6 million, an increase of 2.6% compared to €4.5
million in the first half of 2024 (the adjusted figure improved by 7.5%).
Net income for the first halfThe STAR7 Group reported net income of €1.7 million, an increase of 11.7% compared with €1.5 million in the first half of 2024 (adjusted net income improved by 14.9%).
The M&A transactions carried out to date have generated net goodwill of €30.9 million as at 30 June 2025, resulting in €2.4 million in amortisation of goodwill. In line with the main international accounting standards (IFRS), which do not provide for systematic amortisation of goodwill but require it to be tested annually for impairment, the adjusted Net Profit is provided excluding such amortisation. After goodwill amortisation, the adjusted Net Profit for the first half of 2025 would amount to €4.5 million.

In view of the business unit lease agreement, the results of the following companies controlled by C.A.A.R S.p.A. were included in the consolidated financial statements as at 31/12/2024 and 30/06/2024:
"C.A.A.R. do Brasil Consultoria Tecnica Ltda" based in Belo Horizonte (Brazil);
"Abacaar Doo Kragujevac" based in Kragujevac - Miloja Pavlovica 9 (Serbia).
The two aforementioned companies were acquired outright on 13 January 2025 following the acquisition of the business units of C.A.A.R. S.p.A. and S.T.I. s.r.l..
The new 99.99% owner subsidiary "Star7 Technology India Private Limited" was
established in 2024, with headquarters in Hyderabad (India). Star7 Latin America Ltda was incorporated in December 2024.
For the scope of consolidation, please refer to the Notes to the Financial Statements.
The following disclosures are made pursuant to article 2428, paragraph 3, number 1 of the Italian Civil Code.
The Group has developed high value-added authoring technologies in the various Business Areas (Authoring, Language Services, After Sales), succeeding in developing innovative ideas and applications of already existing services, as well as co-developing - also with dedicated internal resources - and increasing the potential and integration of already available software and creating new integrated platforms.
In particular, new applications based on artificial intelligence have been developed, with the establishment from 01/01/2025 of a new service line (7AI).
The actual operational development activity involved integrating some market A.I. engines into its service lines (primarily Global Content and Product Knowledge, and to a lesser extent Printing), aimed at meeting the growing needs of customers.
In particular, the objectives that STAR7 has set itself are as follows:
identify repetitive activities and time consuming and low value-added processes;
train the A.I. to teach the processes to be performed and compress the time of such activities;
verify and measure the results achieved to identify critical issues and correct them with a view to "continuous improvement";
on the basis of the errors detected, reduce as much as possible the review time that necessarily must be spent by human beings for control activities;
optimise the ability of the trained AI to generate and disseminate content based on corporate know-how with the highest degree of accuracy, consistency and reliability.
To achieve this, the Company has dedicated internal human resources (developers, programmers, engineers) and external suppliers.
It is the Group's intention to continue to boost, also in subsequent years, the development of new activities characterised by a degree of innovation with respect to its reference market, through a series of initiatives that will primarily involve internal human resources, external consultants and technical equipment.
In view of the Company's social role, as highlighted in the document on Report on Operations issued by the Italian Accounting Profession, it is deemed appropriate to provide the following information regarding the environment and personnel.

The Group had the following transactions with the following associated companies:
51,589 106,327
These transactions, which do not include any atypical and/or unusual operations,
are conducted on an arm's length basis.
Credit riskReceivables from customers are carefully monitored, and therefore credit risk is deemed to be adequately covered by the relevant allowance for doubtful accounts.
Liquidity riskNote:
there are adequate lines of credit to meet liquidity needs;
group companies hold deposits with credit institutions to meet liquidity requirements;
there are no significant concentrations of liquidity risk on either the side of financial assets or sources of funding;
The terms of collection are adjusted to those of payment.
Market riskThe effects of possible changes on the income statement in relation to relevant risk variables are limited and acceptable for each of the following components:
interest rate risk
price risk
exchange rate risk
Considering the level of risks involved, the companies within the Group do not engage in hedging activities, with the exception of certain interest rate swap and collar cap-floor contracts. These contracts are comprehensively detailed in the Notes to the Financial Statements, which should be referred to for further information.
Key risks are constantly monitored by the Boards of Directors.
Information on own sharesAt the reporting date, the Parent Company did not hold any own shares and/or shares and/or quotas of parent companies, either directly or through trust companies or third parties.
After the end of the first half, no significant events were recorded that could have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Report as at 30 June 2025.
On 22 July 2025, the share buyback programme authorised by the Shareholders' Meeting of 6 May 2025 was started under the terms already disclosed to the market on the same date.
The STAR7 Group will continue to strengthen its presence in key markets through targeted commercial expansion initiatives, investing in innovation and digitalisation to improve operational efficiency and the quality of its products and services.
The 2025 strategy continues to focus on cash generation and debt reduction. Particular attention will also be devoted to margin management, with an approach aimed at improving profitability through the ongoing reorganisation process.
However, the macroeconomic environment remains uncertain due to international tensions and geopolitical developments that could impact international trade dynamics.
The company aims to be resilient in the face of challenges in the economic environment, maintaining a sustainable growth trajectory and continuing to create value for all stakeholders in the long term.
On 16 March 2019, the Corporate Crisis Code, which amended Article 2086 of the Civil Code, came into force, thereby placing the onus on the Administrative Body to verify the adequacy of organisational structures in order to prevent the onset of any corporate crisis. This must be done at least every 6 months.
The Companies of the Group have an adequate organisation chart, also in view of the listing on the Euronext Growth Milan market, and have adequate instruments for the constant monitoring of corporate activities, economic and financial trends and a management control system.
The indicators relating to negative or below-par shareholders' equity and the DSGR (Debt Service Coverage Ratio) do not reveal any critical aspects.
