Turnover witnessing a strong growth story

Consistent year-over-year growth of turnover

Net Income: high profitability from the operations

Profitability level very strong, in line with 2025 Budget

Focus on Asset Quality and Digital Factoring

A low risk model with best in class asset quality

Cost of Risk has been computed as Credit Risk Adjustments / Annual Disbursed Loans; Gross NPE («Non-Performing Exposure») Ratio has been computed as Gross NPE / Gross Loans to Customers

High protection of risk due to conservative credit stance

The Net Risk borne by Generalfinance on total financial assets as at March 31, 2025 was €209 mn.

Insurance: Allianz Trade (Credit Insurance) cap equal to 50x annual premiums for total €57 mn; Sace Guarantees for total €80 mn Personal guarantees: calculated by summing the smaller value between "Guarantee" and "Exposure" for each factoring relationship between Generalfinance and the seller

Collection performance: a strategic delivery to our Customers

Generalfinance boasts a portfolio quality, both in terms of Payment Conditions and Payment Delays, better than the rest of the market

DSO expressing very low portfolio duration

A unique business model, leveraging factoring features

The peculiarity of Generalfinance's business model is the choice of Seller–Debtor, where clients (Sellers) typically have a low credit rating (turnaround situation) while the Debtors underlying customer loans refer to a high credit rating (normally investment grade)

1) Generalfinance data refers to March 31, 2025 (LTM); Assifact data refers to December 31, 2024;

2) Assifact data net of household debtors; 3) NewCo: New Company after the definition of the turnaraund plan

A strategic asset: our proprietary digital platform

Business Plan 2025 2027 Update & Closing Remarks

Cancellation of the acquisition of Workinvoice

Generalfinance announced that will not proceed with the closing of the acquisition of Workinvoice S.r.l., announced on June 17, 2024 (the "Transaction").

By the deadline indicated in the relevant sale and purchase agreement, in fact, not all the conditions to which the execution of the Transaction was subject have been fulfilled. Notwithstanding the non-completion of the Transaction, the targets of the Business Plan to 2027 are fully confirmed, considering the immaterial impact that would have been brought by the invoice discounting business in the short term.

The Company therefore remains fully focused on pursuing the announced targets, in a market environment that remains highly favorable to Generalfinance's business - financing companies in special situations - both in Italy and in the foreign countries identified for its international development, with an internal project dedicated to the small retail clients.

Credit crunch of Italian companies in 2024

Historical Lending Volumes – Italy (€bn)

Corporate Debt Trends Italian companies reduced debt sharply, reaching ~30% of GDP, the lowest since 2005, after the post-COVID loan surge

Loan Dynamics

In 2024, business loans fell by 3.4% (the largest drop in the Eurozone), but are forecasted to grow again by 2.4% in 2025 and 2.7% in 2026

Credit and Risk Outlook With monetary easing, credit to businesses should recover; however, early signs of deterioration require increased attention to credit quality

Strategic Sector Priorities The sector will leverage improved fundamentals to drive growth, focusing on technology, innovation, sustainability, and rebalancing corporate strategies

3M2025: Closing Remarks

2025 first 3 months of the year confirm a growing trend, in line with full year budget:

  • Profitability level showing significant growth: net banking income up +36.5%
  • Good asset quality confirmed
  • Further reduction of the cost income ratio, expected to drop further thanks to the very good operating leverage
  • An updated organization oriented to risk control and business development
  • Macroeconomic evolution and more difficult environment for SME lending support our strategy

New steps ahead to further support our numbers:

  • New sellers pipeline set to push a stronger growth ahead
  • Robust and diversified funding structure to support future growth
  • Strong Capital ratios (TCR > 15%) allowing a sound capital buffer for growth even exceeding strategic plan horizon
  • Expanding Generalfinance abroad: the Spanish branch started operations in early 2025; the Suisse branch to be started before year end
  • Net Income 2025 guidance: >24M
