FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

Context analysis and Sabaf positioning

Market

Tariffs

Greater penetration of Turkish and Chinese players in the European market

Reduction in end-users purchasing power

The last 2 years highlighted the difficulty of some competitors, which could open opportunities for M&Aand allow us to gain market shares Competitors

The first economic policy measures taken by the new US administration have created international tensions, the effects of which are difficult to predict

  • Direct manufacturing presence in the USA (MEC in Ohio)
  • Sabaf Mexico's production is mainly intended for manufacturers in the Mexican territory
  • FCA delivery terms for customers
  • Turkey looks not to be impacted by US duties

The geographical diversification of Sabaf's industrial footprint mitigates the risks associated with tariffs/trade barriers, thanks to the presence of production plants in all key reference markets

2024 | Market trends

Europe

• After several quarters characterized by market weakness, signs of recovery are emerging. Industry shipments +1% in 4Q 2024

North America

2Q, 3Q and 4Q 2024 industry shipments were positive (+7 in 4Q%). Resilient demand, but with an increasing shift towards lower prices

Dividends: on 28 May 2024 distribution of a gross ordinary dividend of €0.54 per share

Dividend 2025

2025 Dividend proposal

The Board of Directors will propose to the shareholders the distribution of a gross ordinary dividend of €0.58 per share (Cash out ~ € 7.2 million)

A gross dividend of €0.54 per share was paid in 2024

Outlook

Signs of recovery

  • After three years of widespread weakness in demand, the household appliances market appears to be heading for a gradual recovery in volumes, partly due to the stimulus in consumption and residential investment resulting from lower interest rates
  • There are, however, some reasons for uncertainty. The first economic policy measures taken by the new US administration have created international tensions, the effects of which are difficult to predict. Sabaf's global production structure, with the direct manufacturing presence in the United States enabled by the recent acquisition of MEC, mitigates the risks associated with the introduction of tariffs.

Positive Outlook for 2025

  • The Group expects sustained growth in 2025 as the benefits of the strategy outlined in the Business Plan (diversification of the offering, strengthening of the industrial footprint, development of group synergies and growth through acquisitions) is further materializing
  • In particular, an important contribution is expected from sales in North America, even thanks to the Mexican production plant that is constantly increasing volumes and expanding its product range. For all divisions, sales of new products - which will be partly customised for some customers - will begin and should help to strengthen market shares. The orders received in the first part of the year confirm this trend.
  • The Group is strengthening its efforts to improve margins through further efficiency measures, innovative projects and adjustments of price lists.

SUSTAINABILITY

Solar power plant

  • Total CapEx: approximately €2.3 million
  • Will enable the production of electricity using solar photovoltaic technology, significantly contributing to the goal of climate change mitigation
  • Allows self-production of an estimated amount equal to 10-15% of the site's current energy consumption
  • Emissions reduction: ~ 10-15% (Scope 2 emissions from purchased and consumed electricity)
  • Saving: ~ € 0.5 million / year
  • The solar power plant will be operational form July 2025

Sabaf: a sustainable business

Sustainability in the Business plan 2024 - 2026

Sabaf's strategy and governance model are aimed towards ensuring long-term sustainable growth. For Sabaf, sustainability is primarily based on sharing values with its stakeholders; compliance with common values increases mutual trust and encourages knowledge development " "

ESG Performance - Corporate Governance

Remuneration policy

Environmental impact of different cooking fuels 1/3

About 30% of people on our planet, i.e. 2.5 billion people, are still relies on solid biomass fuels for cooking (wood, charcoal, animal dung, crop residues)

This population is mainly concentrated in Sub-Saharan Africa, where the unavailability of clean fuels affects 82% of the population, but significant percentages characterize also Central Asia, India, China, South-East Asia and Latin America

In addition to being harmful to the environment, the pollution produced by traditional fuels has important consequences on the health of users and families

5.5 billion people use fossil fuels (mainly natural gas and LPG) or electricity for cooking

Environmental impact of different cooking fuels 2/3

Environmental impact of different cooking fuels1

The environmental impact was measured using a scientific standard method (the ReCiPE 2016), which is based on 3 impact categories:

  • damage to human health
  • damage to ecosystem quality
  • damage to resource availability

The environmental impact was highest in the case of coal cooking appliances (112) and lowest for LPG and methane cooking appliances (5 and 5.2 respectively).

Electric cooking appliances, with an impact of 9, highlighted an environmental impact equal to 180% of that deriving from gas hobs

Cooking through a gas hob instead of using firewood as cooking fuel, reduces the environmental impact by 80%

1 https://www.itjfs.com/index.php/ijfs/article/view/2170

Italian Journal of Food Science, 2022 – Environmental impact of the main household cooking systems – A survey, 2022 Alessio Cimini and Mauro Moresi, Università della Tuscia

Environmental impact of different cooking fuels 3/3

From the perspective of sustainable development, the reduction of the environmental impact resulting from cooking food will necessarily have to go through a dual strategy

Promote access to energy sources with lower impact for the population that still uses solid fuels

Favor electric cooking only where and when the energy production mix is characterized by a predominant component of green energy

An induction hob causes lower CO2 emissions than a gas hob only if the electricity is produced with a % of renewable sources (and/or nuclear energy) higher than 70%

The Sabaf Group pursue a business development path consistent with the ecological transition plans:

  • Sabaf is investing to promote diffusion of gas cooking appliances in emerging countries, replacing traditional cooking methods with much higher environmental impact
  • At the same time, Sabaf is investing to enter the sector of induction cooking, the most efficient form of electric cooking, which is constantly growing in the European market, although such trend has slowed down in the last 3 years

A possible revolution - Hydrogen burners

The Sabaf Group actively takes part in research projects aimed at evaluating the feasibility of replacing natural gas (methane) with hydrogen as a source for gas cooking appliances

Burners operating with 100% hydrogen: laboratory tests and prototypes have confirmed the technical feasibility of these products

The possibility to use hydrogen on a large scale as a fuel has still to overcome important technological challenges, both in terms of its production and distribution

A possible solution in a relatively short time is the use of a mix of methane and hydrogen, through the existing distribution network

Hy4Heat project, promoted by the British government, concluded in 2022 with positive results

Pilot project in collaboration with the Colombian client Industrias Haceb → European Union Sustainability certification LCBA (Low Carbon and Circular Economy Business Action)
