Fabriano, April 27, 2023 – The Board of Directors of Elica S.p.A. has approved the 2023 First Quarter results, prepared in accordance with IFRS accounting standards.
"The results for the first quarter confirm that we have taken the right actions to deal with a difficult marketplace that will remain as such for a long time, thanks to the reactive and cohesive team who have demonstrated leadership, courage and ability to tackle the ever-growing list of challenges. This without ever ceasing to look ambitiously to the future: we are resolutely pursuing a true revolution in the Cooking segment, which has a solid foundation in our pillars: design, innovation and quality" stated Francesco Casoli, Chairperson of Elica S.p.A.
***
"We report results in line with expectations in a challenging first quarter within a year still featuring significant market complexity. We tackled it with the right approach, which can only be the longterm one. On the one hand, we have defended margins within a market lacking volumes and still featuring significant inflation, supported by the flexibility gained by reorganising our industrial footprint in Poland and by our very close focus on cost control. On the other hand, we have stepped up the company's transformation and have kept a further promise: ahead of the launch of LHOVE, Elica becomes even more of a Cooking company, bringing to the market not only aspiration products, but also induction hobs, ovens and accessories, such as wine cellar products. In this environment, the Motors Division continues to grow and is preparing to tap into the opportunities arising from the strong development of the heat pump and of the energy transition market. It will be a difficult year, but we'll come out even stronger and ready for the future" stated Giulio Cocci, Chief Executive Officer of Elica.

Revenue: Euro 129.0 million;
Adjusted EBITDA1 : Euro 12.6 million (9.7% margin on revenues);
Adjusted EBIT2 : Euro 6.7 million (5.2% margin on revenues);
Adjusted Profit3 : Euro 4.2 million;
Adjusted Group Net Profit: Euro 3.9 million. The Minorities profit was Euro 0.4 million.

Overview In Q1 2023, global kitchen hoods demand contracted 5.8%. In Europe, a continued climate of uncertainty and persistent inflation contributed to a decline of 12.5%. Despite the still restrictive monetary policy, a number of operating indicators point towards a recovering economy going forward.
EMEA: inflation is slowing and energy prices are falling. The recent increase in nominal wages however has not counteracted the decline in real wages. The consumer confidence index, although well off its long-term average, is strongly rebounding. Despite this, an increasingly restrictive monetary policy and lingering geopolitical tensions in Eastern Europe contributed to slowing consumer demand again this quarter.
UNITED STATES: high interest rates and resilient core inflation have not dented a labour market that is still proving very robust and capable of creating new jobs. The rising cost of energy and the pressured housing market have led consumer demand into negative territory.
LATIN AMERICA: Weak demand from major trading partners (especially the United States and China) is reflected in weak domestic demand, caused mainly by the still high inflation and economic and political uncertainty.
CHINA: the reopening of major districts has supported the country's economic recovery, despite a slower return to consumption than industrial production and exports.
INDIA: leading indicators confirm strong growth in output, with expansion in manufacturing and services.
1 The value was adjusted considering the extraordinary negative effects from the reorganisation of the Cooking Business Unit for Euro 0.2 million,
Elica S.p.A.

Revenue In Q1 2023, Elica reports revenue of Euro 129.0 million, within a market shaped by shrinking demand and impacted by the destocking measures of the OEM customers. Despite the criticalities highlighted, the performances across the various regions allowed for a consolidation of market share and the outperforming of the general market.
The Cooking division, which accounts for 75% of total revenue, contracted 14.2% (-14.8% at constant exchange rates and scope), due entirely to the significant drop in OEM demand. Own product sales, featuring greater profitability, performed in line with Q1 2022. Thanks to an appropriate country mix, the NikolaTesla aspirating hob range reported stable sales in terms of units and an improvement in terms of value.
The Motors division, which accounts for 25% of total revenue, continues to see "heating" and "ventilation" growth, with revenue up 3.0%. In a market in which the issue of sustainability is increasingly predominant, the division is an excellent hedge and provides concrete hints of profitability.
Sales in EMEA, accounting for 81% of total revenue, declined 7.9% outperforming the market and strengthening an already significant market share for Elica in key markets such as Italy.

February 14, 2023 - the Board of Directors of Elica S.p.A. approved the additional periodic disclosure for the fourth quarter of 2022, prepared according to IFRS and the 2022 preliminary consolidated results.
March 16, 2023 - the Board of Directors of Elica S.p.A. approved the consolidated results at December 31, 2022 and the statutory financial statements at December 31, 2022, prepared in accordance with IFRS, in addition to the Directors' Report.
April 19, 2023 - Elica expands its product line in the cooking segment, in line with its 2023 targets, and announces a strategic partnership with Ilve.
***
The results of the first quarter were in line with expectations in terms of revenue and profitability, in a market context characterized by persistent negative demand and still high inflation. As of today, we see a negative trend dynamic that will continue at least until the first semester. In the second half of the year, the expectation is to see a signal of recovery in demand and consequently a return to organic growth, supported by the new products launched in the Cooking segment and new projects in the Motors segment related to the heat pumps market. All of this leads us to confirm a 2023 in line with market consensus. In addition, a solid cash generation and an excellent leverage ratio guarantee a strategic advantage position, fundamental to consolidate an already robust market leadership and to evaluate new growth opportunities through external lines (M&A).
With reference to the 2019 - 2025 PHANTOM STOCK & VOLUNTARY COINVESTMENT PLAN, reserved for employees and/or senior directors of Elica, it is announced, as per Article 84-bis of the CONSOB Issuers' Regulation that, on April 27, 2023, the Board of Directors of the Company, having obtained the opinion of the Remuneration Committee and verified the achievement of the objectives of the 2020-2022 Cycle, identified April 27, 2023 as the Grant Date.

EBITDA is the operating result (EBIT) plus amortisation and depreciation and any impairment losses on Goodwill, brands and other tangible and intangible assets.
EBIT is the operating result as reported in the consolidated Income Statement.
Adjusted EBITDA is EBITDA net of the relative adjustment items.
Adjusted EBIT is EBIT net of the relative adjustment items.
Net financial income/(expense) is the sum of the Share of profit/(loss) from Group companies, Financial income, Financial Charges and Exchange rate gains and losses.
The adjusted result is the result for the period, as published in the Consolidated Income Statement, net of the relative adjustment items.
The adjusted Group result is the result for the period attributable to the owners of the Parent, as published in the Consolidated Income Statement, net of the relative adjustment items.
Earnings items are considered for adjustment where they: (i) derive from non-recurring events and operations or from operations or events which do not occur frequently; (ii) derive from events and operations not considered as in the normal course of business operations, as is the case for impairments, disputes considered atypical in terms of frequency and amount and restructuring charges, of the costs for M&A's, whether executed or not, and any rightsizing costs.
The Earnings per Share for Q1 2023 and Q1 2022 was calculated by dividing the Group Net Profit as defined in the Consolidated Income Statement, by the number of outstanding shares at the respective reporting dates. The number of shares outstanding at period-end differs from that at December 31, 2022 and March 31, 2022 due to the launch of the treasury share buy-back plan.
The earnings (loss) per share so calculated does not match the earnings (loss) per share as per the consolidated Income Statement, which is calculated as per IAS 33, based on the average weighted number of shares outstanding.
Managerial Working Capital is the sum of Trade receivables with Inventories, net of Trade payables, as presented in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.
Net Working Capital is the amount of Managerial Working Capital and Other net receivables/payables. Other net receivables/payables comprise the current portion of Other receivables and Tax Receivables, net of the current portion of Provisions for risks and charges, Other payables and Tax payables, as presented in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.
The Adjusted Net Financial Position is the sum of Cash and Cash equivalents, less Current and Non-current bank loans and borrowings, as reported in the Statement of Financial Position.
The Adjusted Net Financial Position - Including IFRS 16 Impact is the sum of the Adjusted Net Financial Position and current and non-current lease payables from application of IFRS 16, as reported in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.
The Net Financial Position is the sum of the Adjusted Net Financial Position - Including IFRS 16 Impact and of the liabilities included among other payables arising in relation to the acquisition of the new companies, belonging to the consolidation scope or of additional shares in existing subsidiaries. The result coincides with the Consob definition of the Net Financial Position.
