INTERIM CONSOLIDATED REPORT ON OPERATIONS

(Not audited by the Independent Auditors)

1 The Tesmec Group

The Parent Company Tesmec S.p.A. (hereinafter "Parent Company" or "Tesmec") is a legal entity organised in accordance with the legal system of the Italian Republic. The ordinary shares of Tesmec are listed on the MTA (screen-based share market) STAR Segment of the Milan Stock Exchange. The registered office of the Tesmec Group (hereinafter "Group" or "Tesmec Group") is in Milan, Piazza S. Ambrogio 16.

The Tesmec Group is a leader in the design, production and marketing of special products and integrated solutions for the construction, maintenance and streamlining of infrastructures relating to the transmission of electrical power, data and material transport.

Founded in Italy in 1951 and managed by the Chairman Ambrogio Caccia Dominioni, the Group, as from its listing on the Stock Exchange on 1 July 2010, has pursued the stated objective of diversification of the types of products in order to offer a complete range of integrated solutions grouped into three main areas of business: Energy, Trencher and Rail. The structure has more than 900 employees and has production plants located in Grassobbio (Bergamo), Sirone (Lecco) and Monopoli (Bari) in Italy, Alvarado (Texas) in the USA and Durtal in France. Furthermore, after the reorganisation of the Automation segment, Tesmec Automation has 3 additional operating units available in Fidenza, Padua and Patrica (Frosinone). The Group has a global commercial structure, with a direct presence on different continents, through foreign companies and sales offices in the USA, South Africa, Russia, Qatar, China, France, Australia, New Zealand, Côte d'Ivoire and Saudi Arabia.

Through the different types of product, the Group is able to offer:

1.1 Energy segment

  • Machines and integrated systems for overhead and underground powerlines stringing works and fibre optic cables.
  • Integrated solutions for the streamlining, management and monitoring of medium and high voltage power lines (smart grid solutions).

1.2 Trencher segment

  • High-efficiency crawler trenching machines for excavation with a set section for the construction of infrastructures for the transport of data, raw materials and gaseous and liquid products in the various segments: energy, farming, chemical and public utilities.
  • Crawler trenching machines for works on surface mines and earth moving works (Rock Hawg).
  • Rental of said trenching machines.
  • Specialised consultancy and excavation services on customer request.
  • The Trencher segment also includes the excavation services for power networks and fibre optic cables.

1.3 Rail segment

  • Works vehicles and integrated solutions for the installation, renewal and maintenance of the railway catenary wire system.
  • Vehicles and systems for rail infrastructure diagnostics.

The know-how achieved in the development of specific technologies and innovative solutions and the presence of a team of highly-skilled engineers and technicians allow the Tesmec Group to directly manage the entire production chain: from the design, production and marketing or rental of machinery to the supply of know-how relating to the use of systems and optimisation of work, to all pre- and post-sales services related to machinery and the increase in site efficiency.

2 Reference context

2.1 Tesmec Group in the first quarter of 2025

A. Introduction

During the first quarter of 2025, the Tesmec Group continued to implement its international development strategy, seizing growth opportunities in its reference markets while also pursuing management actions aimed at improving efficiency.

The figures for the first quarter of 2025 have been prepared in accordance with IFRS 5, which has entailed the line-byline deconsolidation — both in the Income Statement and the Balance Sheet — of the results of the Rental business of Groupe Marais. This business, starting from the end of 2024, has been the subject of a capital increase by OT Engineering, a recognised player in the French market, which during the current financial year will come to hold a 50% stake in Groupe Marais. These results have therefore been reclassified under specific headings related to Assets held for sale. In line with IFRS 5 requirements, and to allow for more effective comparison, the Income Statement figures for the first quarter of 2024 have been appropriately reclassified to ensure comparability with those for the first quarter of 2025.

It should be noted that, as part of its international growth strategy, Tesmec seeks strategic opportunities aimed at attracting industrial partners to individual markets or Group companies through dedicated capital increases in those specific entities. The transaction related to the French market represents the first of such initiatives. These transactions are aimed at: (i) developing local businesses by leveraging synergies brought by the partner; (ii) strengthening the capital structure through the aforementioned capital increases in the individual entities, in order to fund further growth initiatives; and (iii) the potential recognition of capital gains, due to the difference between the fair value of the individual entities and their book value as recorded in the consolidated assets of the Tesmec Group.

For ease of comparison, the final figures for the first quarter of 2025 are summarised below and compared with both the actual and IFRS 5-reclassified figures for the same period of the previous year. It is also noted that the reclassification of comparative figures under IFRS 5 only affects the Income Statement figures, as required by the relevant accounting standard.

(In millions of Euro) First Quarter 2025
IFRS 5
First Quarter 2024
Actual
First Quarter 2024
Restated IFRS 5
Revenues 61.4 59.3 55.8
EBITDA 9.5 9.0 9.1
EBITDA margin 15.5% 15.2% 16.4%
Net result from continuing operations 0.1 n/a 0.1
Net result from discontinued operations (1.5) n/a (1.2)
Net result (1.4) (1.1) (1.1)
Net Financial Indebtedness 152.6 167.1 N/A

The following comments relate to the comparison of the Income Statement figures for the first quarter of 2025 with the corresponding figures for the first quarter of 2024, reclassified in accordance with IFRS 5, unless otherwise specified.

From an overall perspective, in the first quarter of 2025, the Tesmec Group:

  • achieved revenue growth of approximately 10% compared to the first quarter of 2024, with industrial margins increasing in absolute terms compared to 2024, although slightly lower in percentage terms as of 31 March 2024. This was due to a different mix for the period and destocking activities, with a normalisation expected in the remainder of the year;
  • continued to implement management actions aimed at containing operating costs, which led to a further reduction in these costs compared to 2024. More importantly, their incidence as a percentage of revenue also decreased, thus contributing to continued efficiency gains through the use of operating leverage.

As a result of the above, EBITDA for the first quarter of 2025 increased by around 4% compared to 2024, with improved profitability relative to revenue.

B. Results of the first quarter of 2025

Consolidated Revenues for the first quarter of 2025 amounted to Euro 61.4 million, up 10% compared to Euro 55.8 million in the first quarter of 2024 restated, with EBITDA which reached Euro 9.5 million, up Euro 0.4 million compared to EBITDA for the same period in 2024 (+3.9%).

More precisely:

▪ as regards the Energy sector, Revenues for the first quarter of 2025 amounted to Euro 20.0 million, up 13.7% compared to Euro 17.6 million in the first quarter of 2024, thanks to a significant acceleration in volumes in the Stringing segment and a less marked increase in the Energy Automation segment. Specifically, the Stringing segment recorded Revenues of Euro 12.7 million, a considerable increase

compared to Euro 10.6 million in the first quarter of 2024, while the Energy Automation segment recorded Revenues of Euro 7.3 million, also up compared to Euro 7.0 million in the same period of the previous year.

EBITDA for the Energy sector in the first quarter of 2025 reached Euro 3.2 million (with an EBITDA margin of 15.8%), up from Euro 2.9 million in the first quarter of 2024 (when the EBITDA margin was 16.4%). These results were influenced by:

  • for the Energy Automation segment, a product mix that does not yet reflect the impact of new orders, the contribution of which is expected to increase progressively over the coming quarters;
  • for the Stringing segment, growth in the performance of the Condux joint venture, alongside a reduction in operating costs.

As at 31 March 2025, the order backlog for the Energy business stood at approximately Euro 177 million (compared to around Euro 163 million as at 31 December 2024), of which approximately Euro 31 million related to the Stringing segment (up from Euro 26 million at the end of 2024) and Euro 146 million to the Energy Automation segment (up from approximately Euro 121 million in December 2024);

▪ as regards the Trencher segment, Revenues in the first quarter of 2025 amounted to Euro 31.8 million, up by 3.3% compared to Euro 30.7 million in the first quarter of 2024 restated. This moderate revenue growth was primarily due to higher volumes in the United States (showing a strong recovery compared to 2024), Africa and Australia, which more than offset lower volumes in Middle Eastern markets — though the latter region is expected to recover over the course of the year.

EBITDA for the Trencher division in the first quarter of 2025 reached Euro 5.5 million, an increase of approximately 13% compared to the same period in 2024, with the EBITDA margin also rising from 15.7% to 17.2%. This improvement was driven by ongoing efforts to reduce operating costs, which more than offset a slightly less favourable product mix (also influenced by destocking activities).

As at 31 March 2025, the order backlog for the Trencher sector stood at approximately Euro 68 million, in line with the level recorded in 2023;

▪ as for the Rail segment, Revenues for the first quarter of 2025 amounted to Euro 9.6 million, up from Euro 7.5 million in the first quarter of 2024, thanks to progress on contracts awarded in the past, albeit with delays due to the late definition of certain technical aspects by the contracting authority. As at 31 March 2025, the sector's EBITDA amounted to Euro 0.9 million, with an EBITDA margin of 9.1%, down from Euro 1.4 million in the first quarter of 2024 (when the EBITDA margin stood at 19.0%). This decrease was mainly due to a product mix for the period that did not align with that of the first quarter of 2024. A recovery is expected over the course of the year.

The order backlog for the Rail division as at 31 March 2025 — which, it should be noted, is multi-year in nature — stood at approximately Euro 114 million, compared to around Euro 122 million as at 31 December 2024. This decrease appears to be temporary and linked to tenders currently in progress. As a result, the Group expects to realise its full potential in the coming quarters through the acquisition of new work orders.

Excluding approximately Euro 0.9 million in lower depreciation and amortisation, the Operating Result (EBIT) for the first quarter of 2025 was Euro 4.3 million, an improvement of 9.4% compared to Euro 4.0 million in the restated 2024 figures.

From a financial perspective, in the first quarter of 2025, the Tesmec Group recorded a level of net interest expense broadly in line with that of the restated 2024 figures (Euro -4.1 million versus Euro -4.0 million). However, there was a negative impact from exchange rate differences — largely unrealised — amounting to Euro -0.9 million, compared to a positive contribution of Euro 0.2 million as at 31 March 2024. This was due to the recent strengthening of the Euro, mainly against the US Dollar.

As a result of the above, the Tesmec Group closed the first quarter of 2025 with a pre-tax loss of Euro -0.7 million, compared to a pre-tax profit of Euro 0.2 million in the restated first quarter of 2024. It should be noted that this level of pre-tax result was significantly affected by exchange rate differences, for a combined negative impact of approximately Euro 2 million.

Finally, the Income Statement for the first quarter of 2025 closed with:

  • a Net Result from continuing operations showing a marginal profit (Euro 0.1 million), substantially in line with that of 2024 restated;
  • a negative Net Result from discontinued operations of approximately Euro -1.5 million,

which, together, resulted in a negative Net Result for the period of Euro 1.4 million.

Based on the comments provided on the performance of the individual divisions, it should be noted that the Tesmec Group's total backlog at 31 March 2025 stood at approximately Euro 359 million, compared to approximately Euro 351 million at 31 December 2024, with a significant increase in the Energy Business Unit (which acquired important contracts both in Italy and abroad, confirming the growth cycle initiated in this segment) and Trencher segments, and a reduction in the Rail segment, which is expected to recover later in the year.

Furthermore, at geographical level, Tesmec is confirmed as a group strongly oriented towards international markets, with approximately 82% of Consolidated Revenues for the period generated outside Italy, with a growing contribution of sales in North America and Africa.

With reference to the financial results as at 31 March 2025, the following changes were noted:

  • compared to 31 March 2024:
    • a sharp reduction in invested capital, from Euro 245.7 million in 2024 to Euro 225.9 million as at 31 March 2025, benefiting from the deconsolidation of the rental business unit of Groupe Marais;
    • a significant decrease in the Net Financial Position, from Euro 167.1 million in 2024 to Euro 152.6 million as at 31 March 2025, thus confirming the strong discontinuity already observed as at 31 December 2024 compared to the previous quarters;
  • compared to 31 December 2024:
    • an increase in invested capital of Euro 1.3 million to Euro 225.9 million, compared to Euro 224.6 million as at 31 December 2025, due to the usual infra-annual increase in working capital;
    • a Net Financial Position of Euro 152.6 million, an increase of approximately Euro 5.6 million compared to that as at 31 December 2024.

With reference to Tesmec's financial structure as at 31 March 2025, it should be noted that:

    1. the Net financial position consists of:
    2. Euro 103.0 million (approximately 67% of total NFP) of operating debt against consolidated Working Capital;
    3. Euro 30.5 million (approximately 20% of total NFP) of the recognition of a loan relating to IFRS 16, largely against leasing contracts for part of the Group's trenching machines and the value of rents;
    4. the residual Euro 19.1 million (approximately 13% of total NFP) of Industrial Debt for the portion of the fixed assets not directly covered by Equity;
      1. the duration of the Net Financial Position, which includes medium/long-term payables of Euro 70.7 million and IFRS 16 items of Euro 30.5 million, appears more than consistent with the duration of the portion of medium/long-term Assets not covered by Shareholders' Equity, amounting to a total of Euro 49.6 million.
      1. As at 31 March 2025, the Group had liquidity of Euro 26.1 million, which, together with expected cash flows for the year and the negotiation and obtaining of medium/long-term credit lines, net of those due to expire, is estimated to guarantee financial continuity for the next 12 months and the implementation of ongoing development programmes.

C. Outlook for 2025

With reference to 2025, despite the uncertainty caused by the current international geopolitical and macroeconomic context, the Company expects growth to be driven by opportunities in sectors led by the energy transition, with significant prospects related to the backlog of the Energy Automation segment, the growing demand for Stringing solutions, the internalisation strategy of the Rail segment and the positive outlook for cable laying and surface mining technologies for the Trencher segment. Thanks to its international presence and current production structure with plants in both Italy and the USA, the Company also believes that it will be able to respond with the necessary flexibility to the challenges posed by the current external scenario, which is characterised by considerable uncertainty. Management remains committed to prioritising profitability and cash generation over volume, while continuing to pursue strategic initiatives to strengthen the industrial base and increase the efficiency of invested capital.

3 Significant events during the period

The significant events that occurred during the period are reported below:

▪ in accordance with the binding contractual agreements entered into in 2024 through the signing of a Binding Termsheet with OT Engineering, a French company belonging to the Comergy Group and headquartered in Meylan (Grenoble), on 7 January 2025, as part of the reorganisation of the French subsidiary Groupe Marais SAS, the latter transferred its business unit related to the production and sale of trenchers to its subsidiary

Tesmec France SAS. This business unit also includes all the equity interests held by Groupe Marais SAS in its African subsidiaries as at 31 December 2024. On the same date, Philippe Todesco (previously Chairman of the Board of OT Engineering) became Chairman of the Board of Directors of Groupe Marais SAS.

Subsequently, on 7 March 2025, Groupe Marais SAS sold its entire shareholding in Tesmec France SAS to Marais Technologies SAS for a price of Euro 3,747 thousand.

On 27 March 2025, OT Engineering filed a plan for the transfer of its "Greenpose" business unit — operating in the trencher rental sector — into Groupe Marais SAS, thereby establishing a specialised hub focused on this specific business area. The transfer will take effect on 12 May 2025. As a result, the French company Groupe Marais SAS will remain focused on its core rental business, having already transferred its trencher production and sales operations to Tesmec France SAS as previously mentioned. Further activities are underway to increase OT Engineering's stake in Groupe Marais SAS to 50%. It is noted that advance payments totalling Euro 700 thousand have already been made in view of a future capital increase.

  • On 7 February 2025, the subsidiary Tesmec Automation S.r.l. was awarded one lot of the tender called Enedis, a company belonging to the EDF (Electricitè de France) group that manages the French electricity distribution network, for the supply of new generation equipment for the remote control and automation of the electricity network, for an amount of more than Euro 40 million and a duration of 8 years (of which 3 are optional). After an initial project development phase, in which Tesmec will meet Enedis' technical qualification requirements, a massive and continuous deployment is planned throughout France over the duration of the contract. This award will be managed in coordination with Tesmec France SAS, thereby initiating the aforementioned integration activities.
  • On 5 March 2025, in order to strengthen its subsidiary Tesmec Automation S.r.l. in light of significant industrial developments linked to the awarded tenders, the parent company Tesmec S.p.A. waived a Euro 3 million interest-bearing loan in favour of a capital contribution, thereby increasing shareholders' equity by the same amount.

3.1 Assets and liabilities held for sale

As described in the previous paragraph, in December 2024, the Parent Company Tesmec S.p.A. started to develop a series of strategic initiatives in France to further strengthen the Group's competitive position and to increase the synergies between the different divisions for the further development of the local market.

Indeed, the French subsidiary Groupe Marais SAS, which focuses on the core rental business, signed an agreement with OT Engineering (a French company of the Comergy group) to acquire 50% of its share capital.

In particular, Tesmec reorganised its French subsidiary, Groupe Marais SAS, to focus its activities on the rental of its fleet of machines as part of its mechanised cable-laying services, while the production and sale of Trenchers was transferred to a new company, Tesmec France SAS, wholly owned by Tesmec, which will also develop the Rail and Automation business in France.

As required by International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS 5), since the assets in question are classified as held for sale as at 31 March 2025 - in view of the binding nature of the termsheet signed in December 2024, which provides for the finalisation of the transaction by 2025 - the Group reclassified the economic and financial items in the Income Statement, Statement of Financial Position and Cash Flow Statement.

With regard to the Income Statement, in particular, the revenues and costs pertaining to the activities in question were reclassified as "Net loss for the year of assets held for sale".

With regard to the Balance Sheet, the relevant assets and liabilities were reclassified as "assets held for sale" and "liabilities held for sale".

Similar reclassifications were made to the items of both the Income Statement for the quarter 2024 and the Balance Sheet for 31 December 2024.

4 Activities, reference market and operating performance for the first three months of 2025

The consolidated financial statements of Tesmec have been prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (hereinafter the "IFRS" or the "International Accounting Standards"), endorsed by the European Commission, in effect as at 31 December 2024.

5 Summary of income statement and balance sheet situation as at 31 March 2025

5.1 Alternative performance measures

In this section, a number of Alternative Performance Measures not envisaged by IFRS (non-GAAP measures) and used by the directors in order to allow a better assessment of the Group's operating performance are illustrated. The Alternative Performance Measures are constructed exclusively from the Group's historical accounting data and are determined in accordance with the provisions of the Guidelines on Alternative Performance Measures issued by ESMA/2015/1415 as per CONSOB Communication no. 92543 of 3 December 2015.

The Alternative Performance Measures shown below are not audited and should not be interpreted as indicators of the Group's future performance:

  • EBITDA: it is represented by the operating income including amortisation/depreciation and can be directly inferred from the consolidated income statement.
  • Net working capital: it is calculated as current assets net of current liabilities excluding financial assets and financial liabilities, and can be directly inferred from the consolidated statement of financial position.
  • Net invested capital: it is calculated as net working capital plus fixed assets and other long-term assets less non-current liabilities and can be directly inferred from the consolidated statement of financial position.
  • Group net financial indebtedness: this is a good indicator of the Tesmec Group's financial structure. It is calculated as the sum of cash and cash equivalents, current financial assets, non-current financial liabilities (including right-of-use liabilities) and fair value of hedging instruments.
  • Net financial indebtedness pursuant to ESMA 32-382-1138 communication: it corresponds to the Group's net financial indebtedness as defined above and also includes trade payables and other non-current payables, which have a significant implicit or explicit financing component (e.g. trade payables with a maturity of more than 12 months), and any other non-interest-bearing loans (as defined in the "Guidelines on disclosure requirements under the Prospectus Regulation" published by ESMA on 4 March 2021 with the "ESMA 32- 382-1138" document and incorporated by CONSOB in its communication 5/21 of 29 April 2021).

Services rendered mainly concern the trencher segment and are represented by the machine rental business carried out in the United States, France, Africa and Oceania.

Revenues by geographic area

The Group's turnover is mainly produced abroad (81,6%) and in particular in non-EU countries. The revenue analysis by area is indicated below with the comparison of the figures for the first quarter of 2025 with those for the first quarter of 2024. Growth in North and Central America and Africa was driven by sales in the Trencher sector, while Railways and Energy-Automation remain the key sectors on the Italian market, although development is underway on foreign markets.

It is emphasised that the segmentation by geographic area is determined by the country where the customer is located, regardless of where project activities/sales are organised.

The table shows an increase in operating costs of Euro 5,190 thousand (11.1%). This increase in cost reflects:

  • with regard to raw materials, consumables and services, the increase in sales, with different product mixes;
  • with regard to results from Joint Ventures, the positive performance of the associate Condux Tesmec Inc..

EBITDA

As a result of the foregoing, EBITDA amounted to Euro 9,491 thousand, up compared to the figure recorded in the first quarter of 2024 when it was equal to Euro 9,136 thousand.

A restatement of the income statement figures representing the performance of EBITDA is provided below:

Quarter ended 31 March
2025 % of 2024 % of 2025 vs 2024

Operating income 4,325 7.0% 3,952 7.1% 373
+ Amortisation/depreciation 5,166 8.4% 5,184 9.3% (18)
EBITDA 9,491 15.5% 9,136 16.4% 355

The increase in gross operating margin was generated by the combined effect, on the one hand, of industrial margins, which were affected by a different mix, also influenced by destocking activities but expected to improve during the year, on the other hand, by a lower incidence of operating expenses, thanks to the continuation of the management efficiency initiatives launched at the end of 2023.

The net financial management result decreased compared to the same period in the previous financial year by a total of Euro 1,215 thousand, due to:

▪ a negative impact from Foreign exchange gains/losses of Euro 1,039 thousand, resulting from the unfavourable trend of exchange rates as at 31 March 2025 compared to 31 December 2024, which resulted in net losses totalling Euro 868 thousand (largely unrealised) compared to net profit of Euro 171 thousand (also largely unrealised).

▪ the negative impact of net financial income/expense of Euro 116 thousand due to the increase in rates applied to a higher level of indebtedness.

5.3 Income Statement by segment

Revenues by segment

The tables below show the income statement figures as at 31 March 2025 compared to those as at 31 March 2024, broken down by the three operating segments.

Quarter ended 31 March
2025 % of 2024 % of 2025 vs 2024
(Euro in thousands) revenues restated revenues
Energy 20,022 32.6% 17,606 31.5% 2,416
Trencher 31,764 51.8% 30,744 55.1% 1,020
Rail 9,592 15.6% 7,483 13.4% 2,109
Total Revenues 61,378 100.0% 55,833 100.0% 5,545

In the first three months of 2025, the Group recorded consolidated revenues of Euro 61,378 thousand, an increase of Euro 5,545 thousand (9.9%) compared to Euro 55,833 thousand in the same period of the previous year.

As regards the Energy sector, revenues amounted to Euro 20,022 thousand, an increase of approximately 13.7% compared to Euro 17,606 thousand recorded as at 31 March 2024 thanks to a significant acceleration in volumes in the Energy-Stringing segment and growth in the Energy-Automation segment. More specifically, it should be noted that the Energy-Stringing segment achieved Revenues of Euro 12,733 thousand in the first quarter of 2025 compared to Euro 10,583 thousand in the same period of 2024 (+20.3%), while the Energy-Automation segment achieved Revenues of Euro 7,289 thousand, compared to Euro 7,023 thousand as at 31 March 2024 (+3.8%).

In detail, the turnover of the Trencher segment as at 31 March 2025 was Euro 31,764 thousand, up compared to Euro 30,744 thousand as at 31 March 2024. The change is mainly attributable to the positive contribution of African markets and the recovery of the US market compared to the same quarter of the previous year, which offset lower volumes in the Middle East market.

The Rail segment recorded revenues of Euro 9,592 thousand, up compared to Euro 7,483 thousand as at 31 March 2024. This result is mainly attributable to progress on contracts awarded, which were launched with delays due to the late definition of technical aspects by the contracting authority.

EBITDA by segment

The tables below show the income statement figures as at 31 March 2025 compared to those as at 31 March 2024, broken down by the three operating segments:

Quarter ended 31 March
2025 % of 2024 % of 2025 vs 2024
(Euro in thousands) revenues restated revenues
Energy 3,168 15.8% 2,889 16.4% 279
Trencher 5,450 17.2% 4,822 15.7% 628
Rail 873 9.1% 1,425 19.0% (552)
EBITDA 9,491 15.5% 9,136 16.4% 355

This result is the combined effect of different trends in the three segments:

▪ Energy: EBITDA rose from Euro 2,889 thousand at 31 March 2024 to Euro 3,168 thousand at 31 March 2025. This increase was made possible, on the one hand, for Energy-Automation, by a mix that does not yet reflect the new orders for Energy-Automation (whose contribution is expected in the coming quarters), while the Energy-Stringing segment showed an increase in gross operating margin compared to the first quarter of 2024, thanks to the reduction in operating costs and the positive contribution of the joint venture in the USA;

  • Trencher: EBITDA rose from Euro 4,822 thousand at 31 March 2024 to Euro 5,450 thousand at 31 March 2025, despite despite de-stocking activities that impacted the industrial margin, thanks also to the containment of operating costs;
  • Rail: reduction in EBITDA, from Euro 1,425 thousand in the first quarter of 2024 to Euro 873 thousand in 2025. The change is mainly due to a period mix not in line with that of the first quarter of 2024, with normalization expected during the year.

Business outlook

In the first quarter of 2025, Tesmec continued its strategy of development in highly dynamic markets with significant growth prospects, offering solutions for digitalization and the creation of telecommunications networks, as well as for the development of the mining segment. In the Trencher segment, investments in infrastructure, electrical networks, and Fiber to the Home projects are still growing, driven by government incentives and the increasing demand for connectivity. The railway segment looks to the future with confidence, thanks to substantial investments

aimed at reducing road traffic congestion, promoting sustainable mobility, and improving railway transport safety through diagnostic and maintenance interventions on the lines. Finally, the energy transition still represents an important opportunity for Tesmec, with a growing focus on adapting electrical networks to the new needs generated by the use of renewable energy.

Regarding 2025, in light of the uncertainty posed by the current geopolitical and macroeconomic context and in continuity with the managerial and strategic change initiated in 2024, the Company expects growth driven by opportunities in segments led by the energy transition, with significant prospects related to the backlog of the Energy-Automation segment, the growing demand for Stringing solutions, the internalization strategy of the Railway segment, and the positive prospects of cable laying and surface mining technologies for the Trencher segment. Thanks to its international presence and current production setup with plants both in Italy and the USA, the Company also believes it has the necessary flexibility to face the challenges posed by the current external scenario. Furthermore, the management's commitment continues to prioritize profitability and cash generation over volumes, while simultaneously pursuing strategic opportunities aimed at industrial strengthening and capital efficiency.

Therefore, for the entire 2025 fiscal year, the Tesmec Group expects growth in the main income statement indicators and a reduction of net financial position compared to 2024.

2 Reporting standards

The interim consolidated report on operations as at 31 March 2025 was prepared in condensed form. Since the interim consolidated report on operations does not disclose all the information required in preparing the consolidated annual financial statements or interim financial statements in accordance with IAS 34, it must be read together with the consolidated financial statements as at 31 December 2024.

The accounting standards adopted in preparing this interim consolidated report on operations as at 31 March 2025 are those adopted for preparing the consolidated financial statements as at 31 December 2024 in compliance with IFRS, to which reference is made for full details. Note that the standards and interpretations approved by the European Union and that came into force for the first time on 1 January 2025 have no particular relevance for the Group. Moreover, the Group has not adopted in advance any other principle, interpretation or modification published but not yet in force.

The interim consolidated report on operations as at 31 March 2025 comprises the consolidated statement of financial position, consolidated income statement, consolidated statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in consolidated shareholders' equity and statement of consolidated cash flows. The presentation of these statements report, as comparative figures, the figures as at 31 December 2024 for the statement of financial position and the first quarter of 2024 for the consolidated income statement, consolidated statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in shareholders' equity and cash flow statement.

More precisely, the consolidated statement of financial position, the consolidated income statement, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in shareholders' equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows are drawn up in extended form and are in the same format adopted for the consolidated financial statements as at 31 December 2024.

3 Consolidation methods and area

The interim consolidated report on operations comprises the interim reports on operations of Tesmec S.p.A. and its subsidiaries as at 31 March 2025. The accounting standards and consolidation methods adopted in preparing this interim consolidated report on operations as at 31 March 2025 are those adopted for preparing the consolidated financial statements as at 31 December 2024 to which reference is made for full details.

As at 31 March 2025, the scope of consolidation changed as follows compared to 31 December 2024:

  • on 7 January 2025, Groupe Marais SAS transferred to its subsidiary Tesmec France SAS the business unit relating to the production and sale of trenchers. This unit also includes all of the equity interests held by Groupe Marais SAS in all of its African subsidiaries as of 31 December 2024.
  • subsequently, on 7 March 2025, the company Groupe Marais SAS sold its entire shareholding in Tesmec France SAS to Marais Technologies SAS at the price of Euro 3,747 thousand;

However, these transactions did not change the scope of consolidation, but only resulted in a shift within the Group's organisational chart.

▪ on 10 January 2025, the company MIR SA was sold as it was no longer considered strategic and consequently excluded from the scope of consolidation.
