REPORT ON THE AUDIT OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Opinion

We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Avio S.p.A. and its subsidiaries (hereinafter "Avio Group" or "Group"), which comprise the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2024, and the consolidated income statement, consolidated comprehensive income statement, statement of changes in consolidated equity and consolidated cash flow statement for the year then ended, and explanatory notes to the consolidated financial statements, including material accounting policy information.

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements give a true and fair view of the consolidated financial position of the Group as of December 31, 2024, and of its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board and adopted by the European Union and the requirements of national regulations issued pursuant to art. 9 of Italian Legislative Decree no. 38/05.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISA Italia). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of Avio S.p.A. (the "Company") in accordance with the ethical requirements applicable under Italian law to the audit of the financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Measurement of contract work-in-progress

Description of the key audit matter	The consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024 include assets related to the execution of contract work-in progress of Euro 155 million (Euro 123.5 million at December 31, 2023), liabilities for the related advances of Euro 555.6 million (Euro 452.8 million at December 31, 2023), other provisions for risks and charges of Euro 6.6 million at December 31, 2024 (Euro 15.8 million at December 31, 2023) and revenues of Euro 480.4 million at December 2024 (Euro 343.7 million at December 31, 2023).
	Contract work-in-progress is attributable to development and production activities of the Group, whose revenues and related margins are recognized in the consolidated income statement according to the progress of the contract using the percentage-of-completion method determined on the basis of costs incurred over total estimated costs for the entire work.
	Revenues, in addition to the consideration set forth in the contract, may also include additional payments such as, but not limited to, additional payments for additional activities incurred and/or to be incurred for change to works or events not foreseeable at the date of signature of the original contract, or for additional costs incurred and/or to be incurred that are not foreseeable by the parties at the date of signature of the original contract.
	The evaluation method of that contract work-in-progress and the revenue recognition are based on complex assumptions which by nature involve the use of management judgment, in particular with reference to additional payments and the forecast of costs of completion, including the estimate of contractual risks.
	In view of the significance of contract work-in-progress with respect to the Group overall business profile and the complexity of the assumptions used for additional payments and for forecasting the costs to complete the related contracts, we consider that this topic represents a key audit matter of the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2024.
	The information on the financial statements relating to this matter is provided in the explanatory notes to the consolidated financial statements and in particular in explanatory note 2.7 "Accounting standards and basis of preparation", explanatory note 2.9 "Use of estimates", explanatory note 3.11 "Contract work-in-progress", explanatory note 3.24 "Provision for risk and charges" and explanatory

note 3.32 "Revenues".

Audit procedures performed	As part of our audit we have, among other, carried out the following procedures:
	• understanding of the criteria for the valuation of the contract work-in progress and the revenue recognition criteria (both related to the contractual payments and additional payments); • understanding of the relevant controls put in place by the management on the process of evaluation of the contract work-in progress and test of the operating effectiveness; • analysis, on a sample basis, of the new contracts signed, clauses of contractual amendment and evidence related to variable considerations, if any; • reconciliation of costs resulting from the management accounts to the general ledger and sample basis analysis thereon as of December 31, 2024;
	• analysis of the significant assumptions related to the estimate of costs of completion, including foreseeable contractual risks, as well as subsequent events beyond the end of the financial year; • analysis of contract reports and interviews with project managers with particular reference to a sample of contractual variations incurred during the period and impact on costs of completion, including any foreseeable losses;
	• examination of the accuracy of the calculation of the percentage of completion and of the revenue recognition; • comparative analysis of the main changes in contracts net results
	with respect to the previous year; • examination of projects with negative margin as of 31 December 2024 and the consequent recognition in provisions for risks and charges;
	• review of the disclosure provided by the Group and its compliance with the relevant accounting principles.
Recoverability of goodwill

Description of the key audit matter The consolidated efinancial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024 include a goodwill accounted for the allocation of the 2017 purchase price of Space2 S.p.A., amounting to Euro 61 million and the goodwill accounted following the allocation of the 2022 purchase price of Temis S.r.l., amounting to Euro1.8 million. This goodwill is allocated to the only CGU of the Group corresponding to the Space sector ("Space CGU").

The recoverability of goodwill is tested at least once a year, even in the absence of impairment indicators based on IAS 36 "Impairment of assets".

	The recoverability of the values is measured by comparing the Space CGU net invested capital (carrying amount) with the relative recoverable amount, determined by management according to the value in use as the present value of the operating cash flows deriving from the 2024-2028 plan, approved by the Board of Directors on September 11, 2024, and from the terminal value.
	This methodology requires the use of forecasts of market aerospace sector scenarios which are subject to a physiological degree of uncertainty also in view of the current international macroeconomic environment, the possible economic and financial effects on the levels of expenditure allocated by national governments and international institutions to the access to the space, and the potential future developments of the European governance of launchers referred to in the determinations of the ESA Council of November 6, 2023 and of July 5, 2024.
	Taking into account the subjectivity of the estimates relating to the cash flows considered and the key assumptions of the impairment test model, we considered goodwill recoverability to be a key audit matter of consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2024.
	The explanatory notes to the consolidated financial statements describe the management evaluation process, in particular in the explanatory note 2.9 "Use of estimates" and explanatory note 3.5 "Goodwill" where the significant assumptions and information related to the impairment test are reported.
Audit procedures performed	As part of our audit, we have, among others, carried out the following procedures:
	• understanding of the process adopted by the Group in carrying out the impairment test and identifying of the main controls carried out on the impairment test; • verification of the consistency of the methodological approach adopted by the Group with IAS 36 Impairment of Assets, with particular reference to the identification of the CGU and the determination of its recoverable amount; • analysis of reasonableness of the main assumptions adopted for the CGU cash flows forecasts, the discount rates (WACC) and the growth rates (g-rates) applied in the test, also taking into account the uncertainties linked to the current macroeconomic environment, by obtaining information from the management and analysing the relevant sources; • analysis of the report prepared by the independent expert appointed by the management, also with the support of our experts of the Network also evaluating their skills, capacity and objectivity;

• 5
• examination of the sensitivity analysis prepared by the management supported by of the independent expert appointed by the same;
• review of the disclosure and its compliance with IAS 36.

Responsibilities of the Directors and the Board of Statutory Auditors for the Consolidated Financial Statements

The Directors are responsible for the preparation of consolidated financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board and adopted by the European Union and the requirements of national regulations issued pursuant to art. 9 of Italian Legislative Decree no. 38/05 , and, within the terms established by law, for such internal control as the Directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the Directors are responsible for assessing the Group's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless they have identified the existence of the conditions for the liquidation of the Company or the termination of the business or have no realistic alternatives to such choices.

The Board of Statutory Auditors is responsible for overseeing, within the terms established by law, the Group's financial reporting process.

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISA Italia) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISA Italia), we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group's internal control.

• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the Directors.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
• Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

We communicate with those charged with governance, identified at an appropriate level as required by ISA Italia, regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence applicable in Italy, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, actions taken to eliminate threats or safeguards applied.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors' report.
