Explanatory Notes to the Financial Statements

Accounting Standards and Basis of Preparation

The Interim Report at 30 September 2022, which includes the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, the Consolidated Statement of Income, the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income, the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity and brief related Explanatory Notes, has been prepared in compliance with recognition and measurement criteria provided for by the IFRS endorsed by the European Union, and has been voluntarily made available to the public. Please refer to the Company's website (http://www.brembo.com/en/investors/calendar) for information about the content, timing and methods of additional periodic financial disclosures.

Reference is made to the 2021 Financial Statements for the relevant international accounting standards and criteria adopted by the Group when preparing the above-mentioned Financial Statements. The preparation of the Interim Report requires management to make estimates and assumptions that have an effect on the amounts of recognised revenues, costs, assets and liabilities, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the reporting date. Should in the future such estimates and assumptions, which are based upon the management's best assessment, diverge from actual circumstances, they will be modified accordingly during the period in which such circumstances change.

It should also be noted that certain measurement processes, particularly the most complex ones such as the determination of any impairment for non-current assets, are typically carried out in full only during preparation of the Annual Financial Statements, when all necessary information is available, unless impairment indicators require immediate analysis. Actuarial valuations necessary to determine employee benefits are typically performed during preparation of the Annual Financial Statements. This Interim Report has not been audited.

Consolidation Area

The Financial Statements at 30 September 2022 include the Financial Statements of the Parent Brembo S.p.A., and the Financial Statements of the companies that Brembo S.p.A. controls as per IFRS 10. Compared to 30 September 2021, the following corporate transactions impacting the Group consolidation area were performed:

on 4 November 2021, Brembo completed the acquisition of a 100% stake in the J.Juan Group, a Spanish company specialising in the development and production of motorbike braking systems. Founded in 1965, J.Juan is based in Gavà (Barcelona) and has three plants in Spain and one in China, manufacturing especially brake hoses, a strategic component for the braking system's safety that will complement the current range of Brembo products for motorbikes. The acquisition of J.Juan enables the Group to complete its range of solutions for the motorbike braking system and to expand its brand family for the growing motorbike sector. The total outlay for the transaction was €76.4 million, paid using available liquidity.

Notes on the Most Significant Changes in Items of the Consolidated Financial Statements

The Group's net sales in the first nine months of 2022 amounted to €2,728,224 thousand, with a 33.6% increase compared to the first nine months of 2021. On a like-for-like consolidation basis — thus excluding the contribution of the J.Juan Group from the results for 2022 — Group's sales grew by 29.8%.

The car applications sector, which accounted for 72.4% of the Group's sales, closed the first nine months of 2022 with a +33.3% increase compared to the same period of the previous year. Similarly, all other applications recorded a positive trend: applications for commercial vehicles closed at +20.4%, motorbike applications at +49.9% (+17.5% on a like-for-like consolidation basis), and racing applications at +28.3%.

At geographical level, and with specific reference to Europe, Germany rose by 35.2% compared to the first nine months of 2021.

RATIO TO SALES

Foreseeable Evolution

Our orders backlog for the coming months remains robust at global level. Barring extraordinary changes in the geopolitical situation and the macro-economic context, Brembo expects a 30% growth in revenues for FY 2022 compared to 2021 — an improvement on previous projections — and margins in line with the first nine months of 2022.

Directors' Report on Operations and Significant Events

Macroeconomic Context

To correctly assess Brembo's performance in the first nine months of 2022, it is essential to consider the world macroeconomic scenario, specifically for the markets in which the Group operates.

"Countering the Cost-of-Living Crisis" is the title of the October WEO (World Economic Outlook), the reference document analysing the evolution of global economy published by the IMF (International Monetary Fund). The global economy continues to face steep challenges, shaped by the lingering effects of three powerful forces: the Russian invasion of Ukraine, a cost-of-living crisis caused by persistent and broadening inflation pressures and the slowdown in China. Russia's invasion of Ukraine continues to powerfully destabilise the global economy, resulting in a severe energy crisis in Europe that is increasing costs of living and hampering economic activity. Gas prices in Europe have increased more than four-fold since 2021, with Russia cutting deliveries by 20% of their 2021 levels, raising the prospect of energy shortages over the next winter. The conflict has also pushed up food prices on world markets, and the ensuing inflation pressures have triggered a rapid and synchronised tightening of monetary conditions, alongside a powerful appreciation of the US dollar against most other currencies. Tighter global monetary and financial conditions will work their way through the economy, weighing demand down and helping to gradually subjugate inflation. For many emerging markets, the strength of the dollar is causing acute challenges, tightening financial conditions and increasing the cost of imported goods.

According to the data published in the WEO Report, slowdown in global growth is forecast from 6.0% in 2021 to 3.2% in 2022 and 2.7% in 2023. The global slowdown in 2022 is as projected in the July 2022 WEO Update, while the forecast for 2023 is lower than projected by 0.2 percentage point. The world's three largest economies — China, the euro area, and the US — will slow significantly in 2022 and 2023, with downgrades compared with the predictions made in April and July due to several factors: tightening global financial conditions in most regions, associated with expectations of steeper interest rate hikes by major central banks to fight inflation; a sharper slowdown in China due to extended lockdowns and the worsening property market crisis; and spillover effects from the war in Ukraine with gas supplies from Russia to Europe tightening.

In the Eurozone, growth is projected at 3.1% in 2022 (compared to 2.6% forecast in July) and at 0.5% in 2023, according to the estimates published by the IMF. In detail, Spain is expected to report the most remarkable growth (4.3%) followed by Italy (3.2%) and France (2.5%). Germany is expected to report worse performances, with GDP (gross domestic product) increasing by 1.5%, and thus less than the estimated European average for 2022. Despite the IMF's guarded optimism, according to S&P Global PMI data, the Eurozone's manufacturing sector declined further due to plummeting demand and worsening price pressures. The Eurozone's manufacturing PMI was revised downwards to 48.4 in September, down from 49.6 in August, marking a further exacerbation of operating conditions for euro area goods manufacturers. In the document, it is stated that demand for goods in the Eurozone decreased in September as high inflation and economic uncertainty are believed to have had a severe negative effect on customer spending. Business confidence then fell to its lowest level since May 2020, leading companies to further reduce purchasing in view of more adverse conditions. Commenting on the final Manufacturing PMI data, Chris Williamson, the Chief Business Economist at S&P Global Market Intelligence, said: "The ugly combination of a manufacturing sector in recession and rising inflationary pressures will add further to concerns about the outlook for the Eurozone economy. Excluding the initial pandemic lockdowns, Eurozone manufacturers have not seen a collapse of demand and production on this scale since the height of the global financial crisis in early-2009."

The IMF has revised its growth estimates for Italy in 2022 upwards. A recovery in tourism-related services and industrial production in the first half of 2022 contributed to projected growth of 3.2%, 0.2 percentage points higher than the July forecasts. Italian GDP performance is thus shaping up to be more favourable than expected this year: in the base scenario, the CSC (Confindustria Studies Centre) forecasts an annual increase of 3.4%, already more than reached mid-way through the year, corresponding to 1.5 percentage points higher than the scenario outlined in April. Although the Italian economy suffered the impact of the pandemic to a greater degree than the Eurozone average, the rebound in 2021 and the first half of 2022 allowed Italy to pull ahead of the other main European economies, compared to pre-pandemic levels. According to the CSC scenario, after a natural slowdown in the third quarter of 2022, production will decline between the fourth quarter of 2022 (-0.6%) and the first quarter of 2023 (-0.3%). In fact, on the one hand, the momentum associated with closing the gap which has now been bridged — with the pre-pandemic period has come to an end, while on the other, the negative effects of higher energy product prices will be seen in full. In the second quarter of 2023, GDP performance is expected to return to positive territory, although to a much modest degree (+0.2% at the quarterly average level).

In the US, the IMF forecasts a significant decrease on its July estimates, and the US economy is expected to stop at growth of 1.6% (-0.7 percentage points compared to the last forecasts). In the report published in October 2022, OECD economists forecast that growth will stand at 1.5% in 2022 and then at 0.5% in 2023, with inflation and rigid financial conditions holding back spending. Inflationary pressures, driven by strong demand, constraints on supply and higher commodities prices due to Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine may prove persistent, leading to further monetary tightening. In the United States, where inflation may have peaked and monetary policy began to be tightened earlier than in most of the other major advanced economies, more rapid progress is expected in bringing inflation back on target than in the euro area or the United Kingdom.

With regard to emerging economies, OECD forecasts that Brazil's GDP growth will slow significantly in 2022 to 0.6%, before rising to 1.2% in 2023, following on the robust recovery of 5% in 2021. The increase in inflation, the war in Ukraine and tighter financial conditions eroded economic sentiment and purchasing power, and this is expected to have a severe impact on domestic demand in the first half of 2022. The 2022 presidential elections are adding uncertainty, helping keep investments low until 2023. The recovery of the job market has been slow; the participation rate and real earned income remain below pre-pandemic levels.

Turning to Russia, the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development reduced its GDP forecasts for the country, which will record a 5% decline this year and a 3% decrease in 2023.

According to OECD estimates, after having recorded the sharpest recovery in GDP among G20 countries in 2021, the Indian economy is gradually losing momentum as inflationary expectations remain high due to the increase in global energy and food prices, normalising monetary policy and deteriorating global conditions. Real GDP is expected to increase by 6.9% in 2022 and by 6.2% in 2023, despite a recovery in business investments facilitated by the production incentive system.

In China, according to the IMF, economic growth will decline to 3.2% in 2022 (-0.1% compared to the July projections) and then increase to 4.4% in 2023 (-0.2% compared to the July projections). Amid increasing headwinds, growth will be driven by climate transition investments and the anticipation of infrastructure projects. Real-estate investments will remain weak due to constant defaults by developers and expectations of falling prices. Exports will remain relatively strong as companies keep increasing their market share. The adverse effects on confidence of frequent lockdowns, combined with inadequate social protection, will weigh down consumption, although China's large oil and grain reserves will mitigate the impact of the increase in global energy and food prices.

In its October WEO, the IMF also estimates the arithmetic average prices of the three qualities of crude oil —

Brent, Dubai and West Texas Intermediate (WTI) — at 98.19 dollars a barrel at the end of 2022 and 85.52 in 2023.

Operating Structure and Reference Markets

In the first nine months of 2022, Brembo's consolidated net sales amounted to €2,728,224 thousand, up 33.6% compared to €2,041,755 thousand for the same period of 2021.

Information on the performance of the individual applications and their related markets — as available to the Company at the reporting date — is provided under the following headings.

Passenger Cars

In the first nine months of 2022, the global light vehicle market showed a 2.0% decrease in sales.

The Western European market (EU14+EFTA+ United Kingdom) closed the first nine months of 2022 with a -10.0% decrease in car registrations compared to the first nine months of 2021. All the main markets declined: -16.3% in Italy, -7.4% in Spain, -11.8% in France and -7.4% in Germany. The trend was also negative in Eastern Europe (EU12), with car registrations down by 6.3% compared to the first nine months of 2021.

In Russia, light vehicle registrations closed the first nine months of 2022 down by 59.6% compared to the same period of the previous year.

In the United States, the first nine months of 2022 showed a decline, with light vehicle sales decreasing by 12.9% overall, compared to the same period of 2021. The Brazilian and Argentine markets also closed the first nine months of the year with sales down by 3.7% overall.

In Asian markets, China closed the first nine months of 2022 with an increase in light vehicle sales of +8.2% compared to the first nine months of 2021. Japan instead closed the same period negatively, with a 10.1% decline in sales.

Motorbikes

Europe, the United States and Japan are Brembo's three most important markets in the motorbike sector.

In Europe, the top motorbike markets in terms of registrations are: Italy, Germany, France, Spain and the United Kingdom. In the first nine months of 2022, sales of motorbikes and scooters in the five main European countries closed overall in line with the same period of the previous year, whereas they dropped by 7.0% when considering registrations of motorbikes and scooters with displacements over 500cc alone. In Italy, sales of motorbikes and scooters for the first nine months of 2022 declined by 3.6% compared to the same period of 2021.

In the United States, registrations of motorbikes, scooters and ATVs (All Terrain Vehicles, quadricycles for recreation and work) decreased by 7% in the first nine months of 2022 compared to the same period of 2021. ATVs alone dropped by 15.3%, whereas motorbikes and scooter declined by 3.9% overall.

In the first nine months of 2022, the Japanese market showed a 120% decline, considering displacements over 50cc overall.

The Indian market (motorbikes and scooters) increased by 8.0% in the first nine months of 2022, and Brazil reported a 17.0% growth in registrations.

Brembo's net sales of motorbike applications amounted to €362,438 thousand in the first nine months of 2022, up by 49.9% (17.5% on a like-for-like consolidation basis) compared to the same period of 2021.

Commercial and Industrial Vehicles

In the first nine months of 2022, the European commercial vehicles market (EU+EFTA+United Kingdom) — Brembo's reference market — showed a 17.5% decrease in registrations compared to the same period of 2021. In detail, sales of light commercial vehicles (up to 3.5 tonnes) declined overall by 20.9% in Europe. All the main European markets by sales volume decreased compared to the same period of 2021: Italy (-12.4%), France (-22.4%), Spain (-27.7%), Germany (-18.9%) and the UK (-20.1%).

The segment of medium and heavy commercial vehicles (over 3.5 tonnes) increased in Europe in the first nine months of 2022, closing at +1.3% compared to the same period of the previous year. Among the five main European markets, only Spain and the United Kingdom reported growth of 10.3% and 3.1%, respectively, whilst the other markets declined, with Italy and France at -1,3% and Germany at -4,4%.

At 30 September 2022, Brembo's net sales of applications in this segment amounted to €266,225 thousand, up 20.4% compared to 30 September 2021.

Racing

In the racing sector, where Brembo has maintained undisputed supremacy for years, the Group operates through three leading brands: Brembo Racing, braking systems for race cars and motorbikes; AP Racing, braking systems and clutches for race cars; Marchesini, magnesium and aluminium wheels for racing motorbikes.

In the first nine months of 2022, Brembo's net sales of racing applications amounted to €125,107 thousand, up by 28.3% compared the same period of 2021.

Impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic on the Interim Report at 30 September 2022

Brembo constantly follows developments relating to the Covid-19 pandemic at all its sites worldwide, promptly adopting all necessary measures to prevent, monitor and contain the virus, with the aim of protecting the health of employees and contractors, such as remote working, rearrangement of production layouts, sanitisation of the premises, personal protective equipment, hygiene rules and social distancing. In the first nine months of 2022, all the Group's plants operated at normal capacity, except for companies based in China due to a lockdown period in the second quarter of 2022.

Russia-Ukraine Conflict

Following the outbreak of the conflict in Ukraine, Brembo set up a working group to monitor the related developments and formulate the actions needed to mitigate risks and possible direct and indirect impacts on the Group. At the level of direct impacts, Brembo chose, from the outset of the crisis, to halt all sales in Russia and Belarus of aftermarket products (the only GBU concerned by the events), with a €12,213 thousand revenue decline compared to the first nine months of 2021. The current context was reflected in the calculation of the expected credit loss of net receivables claimed in the area concerned by the conflict, amounting to €484 thousand (in addition to €60 thousand credit notes to be issued and referring to pre-conflict sales that will further reduce the exposure). The Group wholly owns the company Brembo Russia Llc. which, through a workforce of 3 employees, promotes the sale of brake discs for the car aftermarket only. In the first nine months of 2022, net sales of the company, entirely to the Parent, amounted to RUB 20,432 thousand (€261 thousand), while net loss was RUB 19,177 thousand (€245 thousand). The balance on the local current accounts was RUB 63,891 thousand. The exchange rate used to convert the amounts into euros was estimated using public data sources. The company continued to be consolidated on a line-by-line basis since all the conditions for the control of the investee still apply. The indirect effects on the Group have also been quite limited thus far, although the automotive sector suffered various disruptions in the supply of raw materials and components that, along with the semiconductor crisis, led manufacturers to plan brief production stoppages. The effects associated with the increase in commodity and energy prices have yielded limited impacts to date, due to the price-hedging strategies implemented prior to the outbreak of the conflict and initiatives of cost recovery from customers. At the macroeconomic level, the main institutions and organisations revised market expectations downwards, due in part to the effects of inflation. However, it is estimated that such impacts will be more modest for the Group than for other automotive companies, thanks to the market segment targeted by Brembo. At the level of compliance, Brembo analyses and monitors, with the support of external advisors, the development of the sanctions levied against Russia by Western countries. In this regard, there are currently no direct impacts on the Group. With regards to the human emergency caused by the conflict, Brembo implemented a plan of concrete actions in support of the Ukrainian population. At the Company's Italian sites, products were collected to meet refugees' basic needs.
