Monticelli Brusati (BS), March 28, 2025 – The Board of Directors of Pozzi Milano S.p.A. ("Pozzi Milano" or the "Company"), operating in the tableware fashion sector and owner of the "EasyLife" brand, as well as, through its subsidiary Pozzi Brand Diffusion S.r.l. ("Pozzi Brand Diffusion" – collectively with the Company, the "Group"), the "Pozzi" and "Castello Pozzi" brands, object of a licensing strategy, which met today under the chairmanship of Diego Toscani, approved the draft statutory financial statements as of December 31, 2024, prepared in accordance with Italian accounting standards.

Diego Toscani, Chairman of Pozzi Milano, commented: "2024 has been a significant year for Pozzi Milano, during which we confirmed the strength of our business model and the soundness of our internationalization strategy. The results achieved make us proud and encourage us to continue investing decisively in the Group's growth, also through strategic development initiatives such as the recent acquisition of Venditio. Our growing presence in international markets and the strengthening of our financial structure allow us to look to the future with confidence, with the ongoing goal of enhancing our brands and bringing the excellence of Italian lifestyle to the world".

Fabio Sanzogni, Chief Executive Officer and Vice Chairman of Pozzi Milano, added: "The results achieved in 2024 demonstrate the robustness of our operating model and our ability to create sustainable value, even in a complex economic environment. Revenue growth, cost containment, and the significant strengthening of our financial position are the outcome of prudent management and an efficient organizational structure. With the acquisition of Venditio, we are launching our external growth strategy, strengthening our direct presence in a strategic market like France and laying the groundwork for a new phase of international expansion for the Group".

KEY FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2024

In FY 2024, Pozzi Milano confirmed its solidity and international outlook, delivering a positive financial performance despite the persistence of a challenging macroeconomic environment. International markets continued to represent a strategic growth driver, accounting for approximately 72.1% of total revenues. Western Europe remained the most relevant geographic area, contributing around 58.0% of revenues, with France retaining its position as a key market despite an overall sector slowdown. Central and Eastern Europe accounted for 13.7% of sales, while the Americas represented 12.4%, marking a significant 49.3% year-overyear increase, driven in part by strengthened commercial partnerships in North America.

Revenues reached €19.8 million, up 9.1% compared to €18.2 million in 2023. This increase was achieved despite a general contraction in the reference market, confirming the resilience of the business model and the effectiveness of the commercial strategies implemented.

The growth reflects on one hand the strengthening of commercial activity and, on the other, the Company's ability to maintain strong performance in a challenging environment, characterized by declining demand in the sector and reduced consumer purchasing power due to rising interest rates. In this context, Pozzi Milano's results stand in contrast to broader market trends, demonstrating the Group's strategic direction and resilience.

Value of Production amounted to €21.7 million, up 12.4% from €19.3 million in 2023.

EBITDA stood at €2.4 million, in line with 2023, with an EBITDA Margin of 10.8%, slightly down from 12.2% in the previous year.

EBIT totaled €2.0 million, up 3.9% from €1.9 million in 2023.

Net profit was €1.1 million, showing an increase of 6.5% compared to €1.0 million in 2023.

Net Financial Position was cash positive for €0.3 million, showing a significant improvement compared to €1.4 million cash negative as of December 31, 2023.

This result, achieved through positive cash flows from operations and strict working capital optimization, reflects the strengthening of the financial structure and lays the foundation for further strategic investments in the medium to long term.

Shareholders' Equity amounted to €8.6 million, up from €7.5 million as of December 31, 2023.

ALLOCATION OF NET PROFIT

The Board of Directors resolved to propose to the forthcoming Shareholders' Meeting that the net profit for the year, amounting to €1,091,607.61, be fully allocated to the extraordinary reserve.

SIGNIFICANT EVENTS DURING THE YEAR

On January 15, 2024, Pozzi Milano renewed an agreement with a well-known Mexican retail chain for an order of tableware products valued at approximately \$1.2 million (around €1.1 million).

On December 19, 2024, the Board of Directors of Pozzi Milano approved the signing of an addendum to the commercial distribution agreement with related party Mercati S.r.l..

On March 24, 2025, Pozzi Milano announced the acquisition of 90% of the share capital of Venditio SAS, a French master agent operating in the tableware and kitchenware sector and a long-standing partner of the Company. This acquisition marks the launch of Pozzi Milano's external growth strategy and represents a key step in the development of a strategic hub dedicated to managing and enhancing the Group's brands. In addition to what was communicated on March 24, 2025, regarding the acquisition, it is noted that, as of the most recent available financial statements, Venditio SAS reported total assets of approximately €0.1 million, revenues of approximately €0.6 million, and EBITDA of approximately €0.04 million.

EXPECTED BUSINESS OUTLOOK

In 2025, the Company continues along the growth path undertaken in recent years, supported not only by the first, albeit moderate, signs of market recovery, but above all by a clear strategy based on five key pillars:

1. Focus on Traditional and Specialized Retail Channels

The Company concentrates its commercial efforts on traditional and specialized retail channels, as well as mid- to high-end retail chains, which currently represent the most significant portion of the reference market. These channels are covered by a network of multi-brand agents and general agencies, directly coordinated, and by high-profile key accounts. The approach remains strongly international, with less emphasis on the domestic market.

2. Product Differentiation and Innovation

To strengthen its positioning in the global market, the Company continues to invest in creativity and the development of new collections. The goal is to increase sell-out per point of sale and provide the commercial network with effective tools for acquiring new customers, thanks to a constantly updated product offering aligned with the latest trends.

3. Expansion of Brand Portfolio and Product Range, Including Through External Growth

The Company's growth strategy includes the expansion of its brand portfolio by adding to its proprietary brands EasyLife and Pozzi1876 the international distribution license for the brand "WD Lifestyle", thus offering a diversified range in terms of price positioning and market segments. Given that strong retail presence, creative capability, and sourcing expertise in the Far East are highly valuable assets, the Company is actively evaluating the inclusion of new brands and product categories in the coming years.

4. Investments in the French Subsidiary

Following the acquisition of the French master agent Venditio SAS in March 2025, the Company considers it necessary to strengthen its direct presence in the French market. Local investments and closer oversight are expected to support consolidation in this strategic area.

5. Enhancement of Human Capital

A core element of the Company's strategy is the investment in a skilled, motivated, and proactive team. The Company promotes the growth of high-potential individuals through medium- to longterm career development paths, with the aim of building a resilient and forward-looking organization.

Considering these strategic priorities, the results achieved in 2024 and the positive market feedback on recent initiatives confirm the validity of the path taken. In particular, the Company, which has significantly invested in creativity, in launching products under the Pozzi1876 brand, and in the international distribution of WD Lifestyle, has achieved encouraging results to date and is now ready to further expand its catalog with new brands and products, supporting a virtuous growth trajectory and a financially sustainable expansion, also evidenced by the Net Financial Position reaching breakeven during the year.
