Total net sales in April confirm the trend of the first quarter of the year, proving to be robust and with a high-quality asset mix that shows the continuous interest towards investments by our customers. Fineco Asset Management has contributed to this trend, and in the first months of the year has accelerated its growth with the offer of new investment solutions, both active and passive".

NEW INITIATIVES MONITORING

Fineco Asset Management continues to expand its product range, with the launch of innovative solutions designed to gradually guide clients toward equities, especially in the current environment of declining interest rates. The latest solutions are designed to navigate this phase with a balanced approach, combining equity exposure with capital protection or mechanisms allowing to build an equity exposure in case of market corrections.

Looking ahead, Fineco Asset Management is preparing to strengthen its positioning in the ETF market. After the launch of the first family of instruments in 2022, FAM has now entered in the segment of active ETFs, being at the forefront of the most recent evolution in the asset management industry. In April the Irish company launched a new ETF on S&P500, which is leveraging on a protection-mechanism able to smooth the maximum loss in case of market correction.

FinecoBank is integrating Artificial Intelligence into its platform for financial advisors to boost daily efficiency. A key initiative is the introduction of an AI-powered Copilot on the X-Net platform, including a smart search tool that speeds up access to internal memos and communications. The Portfolio Builder now offers advanced fund and ETF analysis, providing personalized proposals, detailed diagnostics, and customizable reporting.

GUIDANCE FOR 2025

Despite the market correction since the beginning of the year, our diversified business model allows for an unchanged outlook of our non-financial income, only with a different mix.

REVENUES:

  • ➢ Investing revenues: every € 1 billion change of Asset Under Management on May 1st, generates around € 4.5 million of revenues from May 1st until year end
  • ➢ Banking fees expected a slight decrease vs FY24 due to change in the instant payment regulation

➢ Brokerage revenues expected to remain strong with a continuously growing floor thanks to the enlargement of active investors. For 2025 we expect a record year for brokerage revenues

OPERATING COSTS AND PROVISIONS EXPECTATIONS:

  • COSTS: growth of around 6% y/y, not including few millions of additional costs for growth initiatives in a range € 5-10 millions (mainly: marketing, FAM, AI)
  • COST/INCOME: comfortably below 30% thanks to the scalability of our platform and strong operating gearing
  • COST OF RISK: expected in a range between 5-10 basis points in 2025 thanks to the quality of our portfolio

CAPITAL

• PAYOUT AND CAPITAL RATIOS: for FY25 we expect a payout ratio in a range 70/80%. On Leverage Ratio our goal is to remain above 4.5%

COMMERCIAL PERFOMANCE

  • NET SALES: robust, high quality and increasing AUM and deposits net sales

BASIS OF PREPARATION

This Consolidated Interim Financial Report as at 31 March 2025 - Press Release was prepared on a voluntary basis, to guarantee continuity with previous quarterly reports, as Legislative Decree 25/2016 implementing Directive 2013/50/EU eliminated the obligation for additional periodical financial reports other than the halfyear and annual ones.

This Consolidated Interim Financial Report as at 31 March 2025– Press Release, as well as the press releases on significant events during the period, the market presentation of the first three months of 2025 and the Database are also available on FinecoBank's website.

This Consolidated Interim Financial Report as at 31 March 2025– Press Release was not audited by the External Auditors.

The Consolidated Interim Financial Report at 31 March 2025 - Press Release, shown in reclassified format, was prepared on the basis of the IAS/IFRS issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), including the SIC and IFRIC interpretative documents, endorsed by the European Commission until 31 March 2025, as provided for by European Union Regulation No. 1606/2002 of 19 July 2002, implemented in Italy by Legislative Decree No. 38 of 28 February 2005. These standards are aligned with those adopted for the preparation of the consolidated financial statements as of 31 December 2024, as no new standards or amendments to existing standards have become applicable that would have a significant impact on the Group's financial and economic situation.

The information contained in this Consolidated Interim Financial Report as at 31 March 2025 – Press Release was not prepared in accordance with the international accounting standard applicable to interim financial reports (IAS 34).

Items in the condensed tables of the balance sheet and income statement were prepared according to the models contained in Bank of Italy Circular 262 "Bank financial report: models and rules of compilation" issued by the Bank of Italy, to which were applied the reconciliations illustrated in the "Reconciliation models for the preparation of condensed consolidated financial report" annexed to the Reports and Accounts as at December 31 st 2024.

In order to provide additional information on the Group's performance, several alternative performance indicators have been used - APM (such as Cost/income ratio and Cost of Risk), whose description is found in "Glossary of technical terminology and acronyms used" of Reports and Accounts as at December 31st, 2024, in line with the guidelines published by the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA/2015/1415) on 5 October 2015.

In the application of the accounting policies, the management is required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of certain assets and liabilities as well as the information regarding contingent assets and liabilities. Estimates and related assumptions take into account all the information available at the reporting date of this document and are based on previous experience and other factors considered reasonable under the circumstances and have been used to estimate the carrying values of assets and liabilities not readily available from other sources. In the presentation of the Consolidated Interim Financial Report at 31 March 2025 - Press Release, estimates have been used to support the carrying amount of some of the valuation-based items, as required by the accounting standards and regulations. These estimates are largely based, as regards assets, on calculations of future recoverability of the values recognised in the accounts and as regards liabilities, on estimates of the probability of using resources to meet the obligations and on the amount of resources necessary to that end, according to the rules laid down in current legislation and standards. They have been made on the assumption of a going concern, on, i.e. without contemplating the possibility of the forced sale of the estimated items. For some of the above items,

the valuation is particularly complex; complexity and subjectivity of estimates is influenced by the intricacy of the underlying assumptions, the amount and variability of available information and the uncertainties connected with possible future outcomes of proceedings, disputes and litigation. The parameters and information used to determine the above-mentioned values are therefore significantly affected by multiple factors, which could change rapidly in ways that are currently unforeseeable and, as a result, future effects on the estimated carrying amounts cannot be ruled out.

With specific reference to the assessment of credit exposures, whether represented by receivables or securities, it should be noted that the IFRS9 accounting standard requires that not only historical and current information have to be considered, but also macroeconomic forecast information ("Forward Looking" components), and, in the current crisis context, updating the scenarios underlying the Forward looking components is a particularly complex.

For the purposes of calculating expected credit losses, the Group uses specific models that adopt risk parameters (Probability of Default "PD" and Loss Given Default "LGD") by forward-looking analysis through specific scenarios, developed by the external provider Moody's Analytics, consider the possible consequences on the global economy resulting from the introduction of customs duties by the US government, as well as the possible developments in the geopolitical and economic crisis triggered by the military conflict between Russia and Ukraine and the conflict in the Middle East between the State of Israel and Hamas. Specifically, the forward-looking component is determined by three macroeconomic scenarios: a baseline scenario, a positive scenario and an adverse scenario. The baseline scenario is weighted at 40% as it is considered the most likely to occur. The positive and adverse scenarios are weighted at 30% and respectively represent better or worse alternative possibilities.

With regard to the projections of future cash flows, assumptions and parameters used for the purposes of assessing the recoverability of goodwill, the Fineco brands and domains accounted for in the financial statements, it should be noted that the parameters and information used are significantly influenced by the macroeconomic market scenario, which could undergo unpredictable changes in light of the uncertainties highlighted above. In this regard, it should be noted that as at 31 March 2025 the Bank assessed that the reasonably estimated changes in the forecast data used as at 31 December 2024 are not such as to have a significant impact on the positive outcome of the impairment test carried out with reference to this date, the results of which confirmed the sustainability of the goodwill accounted for in the financial statements, not highlighting the need for a write-down in any of the hypothesized scenarios, confirming a value in use significantly higher than the book value.

The scope of consolidation did not change in the first three months of 2025 and includes the parent company FinecoBank and the fully consolidated subsidiary Fineco Asset Management DAC. Vorvel SIM S.p.A., the only investment subject to significant influence, was consolidated using the equity method.

With reference to the contribution obligations under Directive 2014/49/EU (Deposit Guarantee Schemes - DGS), it should be noted that the target level envisaged in the directive was reached in 2024. Ordinary contributions relating to the financial year 2025, if required to maintain the target level, will be recognised, in application of IFRIC 21, in the third quarter of the financial year, i.e. at the time when the binding event occurs that generates the obligation, identified by the legislation, and from which the payment of the contribution arises.

With reference to the contribution obligations under Directive 2014/59/EU (Single Resolution Fund), it should be noted that the achievement of the target level set out in the directive was confirmed also at the end of

2024, therefore, no ordinary contribution was recognised in the first quarter of 2025. The target level will be verified again by the Authority at the beginning of 2026.

Finally, with reference to the contribution obligations to the Life Insurance Guarantee Fund introduced by Law No. 213 of 30 December 2023, Article 1, paragraph 113, it should be noted that the Fund's by-laws are currently being drafted which will contain, inter alia, in accordance with article274-quinquies of the Private Insurance Code, the detailed rules regarding the contributions due to the Fund itself both for the purposes of establishing the financial endowment intended for the interventions referred to in art. 274-sexies of the Private Insurance Code, and for the purposes of constituting the resources intended to cover the Fund's management and operating expenses pursuant to Article 274-novies, paragraph 1, letters f) and g) of the Private Insurance Code. No contributions were recognised in the first quarter of 2025.
