Fabriano, April 29, 2025 – The Board of Directors of Elica S.p.A. has approved the 2025 First Quarter results, prepared in accordance with IFRS accounCng standards.
***
"In 2024 we embarked on a new challenging and ambi<ous transforma<on: to become a leading player in the global Cooking market thanks to major product innova<ons and a new brand iden<ty. Today, despite a s<ll challenging market environment dominated by uncertainty, we are seeing the first results of our projects, with the ini<al three months of the year showing encouraging signs. The success of LHOV, together with the expanded product range, not only confirms that our strategy is the correct one, but significantly mo<vates the en<re organisa<on for the future, while remaining fully aware of the ongoing complexi<es in our sector" stated Francesco Casoli, ExecuZve Chairperson of Elica.
"The Q1 results are encouraging, despite the s<ll uncertain market environment. Both divisions have returned to growth: the Cooking division thanks to the excellent North America performance, and the Motors division thanks to the increased market share. We con<nue with determina<on to pursue this transforma<on and to develop new projects, fully aware that this may weigh on margins in the short term, but confident in the strength of our financial posi<on and in our medium-term vision. We s<ll have complex months ahead, although the early posi<ve signs confirm the strength of our strategy. We therefore con<nue to invest in direct distribu<on, in Europe and North America, where we have recently expanded our direct presence also to the North-East of the United States". stated Giulio Cocci, Chief ExecuZve Officer of Elica.

1 The figure was adjusted considering the negative extraordinary effects related to SG&A reorganisation transactions and consulting fees totalling Euro 0.3 million
2 The value was adjusted considering the extraordinary effects in line with EBITDA.
3 The indicated value was adjusted for the extraordinary effects in line with EBITDA and EBIT, in addition to the tax effect.
4 The value indicated is net of the IFRS 16 effect, of the impact of the measurement at amortised cost under IFRS 9 on Bank loans and borrowings as presented in the balance sheet and of the payables for the purchase of investments, as outlined in the NFP table.
| Revenue | Euro 118.8 million (up 1.3% vs Q1 2024). The posiCve trend, which follows ten consecuCve quarters of decline, stems from the growth in North America, driven by the success of the direct distribuCon strategy. In EMEA however, both Cooking and Motors division demand remains weak. |
|---|---|
| The Cooking division, which accounts for approximately 77% of total revenues, reported a slight increase in sales to Euro 91.2 million (Euro 90.4 million in Q1 2024). The OEM business reported a good performance for the first three months (+2.2% vs Q1 2024), thanks to the entry of new customers and the substanCally stable Own Brand performance (+0.1% vs Q1 2024). The Americas reports an increase of 6.6% on the same quarter of 2024. In parCcular, B2C sales were up 27%, thanks to the distribuCon strategy introduced to the region, with new product launches and a broader range of products. This resulted in the entry of new customers in North America, a consolidaCon of the presence in the region of the two new own brand distribuCon companies: AG InternaConal and Southeast Appliance (SEA) and producCon in Mexico of new inducCon and aspiraCon cooktops. |
|
| The Motors division, which represents approximately 23% of total revenues, was up 2.9% to Euro 27.6 million (Euro 26.8 million in Q1 2024). The posiCve sales performance in the quarter was mainly due to the increased market share on the principal accounts which drove both the heaCng and venClaCon segments. |
|
| Adjusted EBITDA | Euro 7 million (Euro 7.6 million in Q1 2024), with a margin on revenues of 5.9% (6.5% in Q1 2024). Investments to support the Cooking transformaCon project conCnued to have a significant impact on the first quarter of 2025. |
| Adjusted EBIT | Euro 1.1 million (Euro 1.8 million in Q1 2024), with a margin on revenues of 0.9% (1.5% in Q1 2024). Mainly abributable to the effects on EBITDA. |

The sector conCnued to contract in 2024, parCcularly in terms of the Cooking division, impacted by an unfavourable price mix and significant promoConal pressure. The Motors division also saw a slowdown, impacted by residenCal demand weakness and regulatory uncertainty related to the energy transiCon.
These dynamics conCnued into 2025, within an environment sCll shaped by significant inflaCon, declining consumpCon on the main European markets and an increasing focus on sustainable and energy-efficient soluCons.
Against this complex backdrop, the Group conCnues to consolidate its market presence thanks to the consistent expansion of the customer porholio, the development of new products and the strengthening of the direct distribuCon strategy in North America and Canada through the own brands.
Looking to the medium/long-term, Elica confirmed its commitment to transforming the Cooking segment, through investments in the brand, innovaCon and the expansion of the product range. In parallel, within the Motors segment, the Group intends to tap into the energy transiCon-related opportuniCes, parCcularly the development and commercialisaCon of heat pumps, in addiCon to the launch of new products. These strategies form the basis for a gradual recovery of revenue and margin growth, in line with the long-term business vision.
