(*) Fully consolidated companies due to the put and call agreement with minority shareholders; the outstanding amount of the financial debts arising from these agreements is recognised under Other current and non-current financial liabilities. The Parent Company currently holds the majority of the shares, but based on the agreements signed with the minority shareholders and the put option that they may exercise, it has the obligation to repurchase the remaining shares held under predefined contractual conditions.
It should be noted that the scope of consolidation has not changed since 31 December
2024.
The Group has drawn up its interim financial statements as at 31 March 2025 in compliance with the recognition and measurement principles of IFRS and in accordance with the principles applied in the preparation of the annual consolidated financial statements as at 31 December 2024.
The information contained in this management report relates to the three-month period ending on 31 March 2025 and 2024.
The values shown in the accounting statements are in thousands of euros.
This financial information as at 31 March 2025 was approved by the Company's Board of Directors on 12 May 2025 and has not been audited, as this is not required by current legislation. This report on operating performance should be read in conjunction with the consolidated summary financial statements as at 31 March 2025, which are recorded below.
To gain the best understanding of the Group's situation and operating performance, the tables below show a brief analysis of the consolidated financial statements for the period ended 31 March 2025, made up of the reclassified income statement and the reclassified statement of financial position.
To enable a better assessment of operating performance, the Dexelance Group uses certain alternative performance indicators.
The indicators represented are not identified as accounting measures under IFRSs and should therefore not be considered as alternative measures to those provided in the model financial statements for assessing the performance of the Group and its financial position. The Group considers that the financial information set out below is an additional important benchmark for assessing the Group's performance, as it allows for more analytical monitoring of the Group's economic and financial performance.
Since such financial information is not a measure that can be determined by the underlying accounting standards for the drawing up of consolidated financial statements, the criterion applied for its determination may not be consistent with that adopted by other groups and therefore such data may not be comparable with any
data presented by such groups. The definition of these alternative performance indicators is as follows.
Added value is defined as the sum of revenue for goods and services and other revenue and income less the sum of costs for the purchases of raw materials, changes in inventories, costs for services and use of third-party goods and other operating costs.
EBITDA is defined as the sum of the net profit for the year, plus the profit (loss) of discontinued assets, plus income taxes, financial income and charges, plus amortisation, depreciation and writedowns of fixed assets.
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as the sum of net profit for the year, plus the profit (loss) of discontinued assets; income taxes; financial income and expenses; amortisation, depreciation and writedowns of fixed assets and excluding non-recurring costs/revenues.
EBIT is defined as the sum of net profit for the year, plus the profit (loss) of discontinued assets, plus income taxes, financial income and charges.
Adjusted EBIT is defined as the sum of net profit for the year, plus the profit (loss) of discontinued assets, plus income taxes, financial income and charges, excluding Special Items and amortisation and depreciation of intangible assets with a finite useful life, models and customer lists, recorded during purchase price allocation (PPA), and which are due to terminate at the end of the relevant depreciation process.
The net result from adjusted operating assets is defined as the net result from operating assets, excluding (i) non-recurring costs/revenue, (ii) amortisation and depreciation of intangible assets with a finite useful life, models and customer lists, recorded during purchase price allocation (PPA), and which are due to terminate at the end of the relevant depreciation process, (iii) the effects of the remeasurements of put and call options and earn-out and (iv) the related tax effect.
Working capital is calculated as the net balance of customer relationships, supplier relationships, inventories and assets and liabilities arising from contracts, customer advances, while net working capital is calculated by adding to operating working capital income taxes credits and other current assets and liabilities.
Invested capital is calculated as the balance between net working capital, non-current assets, liabilities for employee benefits, and provisions for risks and charges and other non-current liabilities.
The net financial position is represented by financial debts, net of cash and other cash equivalents.
The income statement is reclassified in multiple-step format to show the gross operating profit (EBITDA) generated by the Group, namely the difference between revenue and costs associated with the purchase/transformation/sales cycle, regardless of amortisation, depreciation and writedowns, the financing methods adopted and the level of taxation.

Revenues for the first three months of 2025 are in line with the same period of the previous year, going from EUR 72.7 million to EUR 72.1 million, a slight decrease of EUR 0.6 million, or -0.9%.
The Group's revenue by operating segment or strategic business area (SBA) and by geographic area in the first three months of 2025 and in the previous financial year are broken down as follows, and they reveal:

Considering the importance of some non-recurring economic components on the result for the period, also related to M&A activities that characterise the Dexelance Group, the management also wishes to highlight the following economic values: Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBIT and adjusted net result.
Specifically, the Adjusted EBITDA is determined without the non-recurring costs and revenues, essentially considering the costs related to the acquisition of the new companies, and other non-recurring costs and revenues.
Adjusted EBIT was calculated gross of both non-recurring costs and the amortisation and depreciation of intangible assets with a finite useful life (models, order book and customer relations) recorded during the purchase price allocation (PPA) and which will terminate at the end of the relevant amortisation process.
Finally, the Adjusted Net Result is calculated excluding non-recurring costs/revenues and of the aforementioned amortisation of certain intangible assets with a finite useful life and without taking into account the positive and negative economic effects resulting from the restatement of "figurative" financial charges for put and call options and earn-outs of minority shareholders.

In addition to the above-mentioned revenues, there was an increase in operating costs resulting in particular from the effect of the mix of Luxury Contract orders and an increase in personnel costs as part of the strengthening of the organisational structure, operations initiated during year 2024.
The reconciliation of the above values is shown below. Starting with the actual amounts, the components taken into account to calculate the adjusted values as at 31 March 2024 and 31 March 2025 are listed below:

The increase in net bank debt compared to 31 December 2024 mainly reflects the temporary and cyclic increase in interim net working capital that is observed each year, accentuated in the quarter by the aforementioned normalization of the value of advances payments from customers and inventories of Luxury contract ASA.
Gross indebtedness to banks as at 31 March 2025 amounted to €54.8 million, and the decrease compared to the previous period is due to the repayment of principal on loans. It should be noted that some Group companies have voluntarily repaid their loans early with respect to the original amortisation schedules to reduce the marginal cost of debt by using cash and cash equivalents. The net indebtedness is stated considering the EUR 23.0 million in cash and EUR 18.7 million in restricted cash and cash equivalents.
The earn-out debt at 31 March 2025 refers to the debt owed to the sellers of SUR (merged into Gervasoni during the 2022 financial year), Cubo Design and Turri. It represents the update of the best possible estimate of the earn-out, which was determined at the time of the acquisition and accounted for at fair value at 31 March 2025. The earn-out is directly linked to the performance of the acquired companies, usually the EBITDA and net financial position as contractually defined between the parties.
Debts for put options amounted to EUR 56.2 million at 31 March 2025 and concern the fair value of the liability for the exercise of the put option (in favour of the seller) and the call option (in favour of the Group) for the acquisition of the residual stake of 1% in Cenacchi International, 49% of Flexalighting and Flexalighting North America, 45% of Gamma Arredamenti International, 40% of Cubo Design, and 49% of Turri. The acquisition value of the minority stake through the put option was also subject to a contractual definition that links its value to actual company performance and, for this reason, is periodically reassessed based on a contractually predefined calculation between the parties (usually EBITDA and net financial position).
The total increase in debts for earn out and put options (EUR 932 thousand) reflects the interest accrued during the period.

The 'Directors' line item includes the remuneration and the estimated share of the Long-Term Incentive Plan and the Performance Shares for the period, as well as the loans granted by the directors and minority shareholders.
As at 18 December 2023, the programme aimed at increasing the portfolio of treasury shares of the parent company Italian Dexelance S.p.A. became operative in order to (i) equip itself with a portfolio of treasury shares to be used to service transactions consistent with the Group's strategic development lines in view of or within the scope of agreements with strategic partners, including, but not limited to, transactions involving sales and/or exchanges, swaps, contributions, assignments or other acts that include other extraordinary finance transactions (ii) use treasury shares for transactions to support market liquidity, so as to facilitate trading in the securities themselves at times of low market liquidity and to encourage regular trading, in
accordance with the provisions of the law on market abuse and accepted market practices. The aforementioned share buy-back programme was resolved by the Shareholders' Meeting of 17 November 2023.
On 22 April 2024, the Shareholders' Meeting resolved a share buyback programme which, in addition to the above objectives, also provided for the allocation of treasury shares to the implementation of incentive plans based on Company shares for directors and employees in key function roles within the Company.
On 22 April 2025, the Shareholders' Meeting resolved a new share buyback programme up to a maximum number of two million for the above-mentioned purposes after the previous authorisation of 22 April 2024 had been revoked to the extent that it had not been used.
It should be noted that from 18 December 2023 to 31 March 2025, 251,236 treasury shares, equal to 0.93% of the share capital, had been purchased for a total amount of EUR 2.3 million.
The shares of the parent company Dexelance S.p.A. were listed on the Euronext STAR Milan segment of Borsa Italiana S.p.A. on 18 May 2023. Dexelance stock forms part of the FTSE Italia Small Cap index.

Credit risk is connected to the inability of counterparties to meet their obligations and essentially relates to sales. Given the business segment, the customer portfolio of the Group companies is divided into many, often small, entities, and exposure is therefore limited. Subsidiaries Cenacchi International S.r.l., Modular S.p.A. and Turri S.r.l., which have a higher degree of customer concentration that the other companies of the Group, operate on the global market with renowned clients. It should be noted here that there is a concentration towards several companies that are traceable to a few economic entities with which the company management's relationships are very well established.
Credit risk is managed through the close and timely monitoring of customers and by assigning an exposure level to each of them, over which supply may be suspended. However, the risk is limited; for many EU customers and all non-EU customers, the Group companies normally require advance payment or guarantees.
Liquidity risk may arise when it is not possible to obtain, under favourable economic conditions, the financial resources necessary for the operation of the Group companies. Liquidity risk relates to the cash flows generated and absorbed by day-today operations and the resulting need to access financing to support business expansion. Liquidity risk is also linked to the existence of contractual obligations to comply with certain financial ratios ("covenants") to be calculated on the financial statements of the individual subsidiaries.
The evolution of cash flows and the use of credit facilities are closely monitored by the Group Finance Department and the directors in order to ensure that financial resources are used efficiently and effectively, including in terms of expenses and interest.
Foreign exchange risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of an exposure will change due to fluctuations in exchange rates.
The Group has a limited exposure to the risks arising from exchange rate fluctuations, which may affect profit or loss and shareholders' equity as the main transactions are in euros and because the Group's net investments in foreign entities (currency translation risk) are limited. Since receipts and payments in US dollars are partly offset, currency risks are contained and therefore the provision of foreign exchange hedges was not considered necessary. The use of currencies beyond the euro, US dollar and British pound in commercial transactions is almost zero.
The Group has entered into financial derivative transactions to hedge against the risk of exchange rate fluctuations in connection with sales in foreign currency. As at 31 March 2025, the fair value of the above-mentioned derivatives hedging exchange rate fluctuations was positive by EUR 70 thousand.
Interest rate risk can be defined as the risk that changes in market interest rates will result in a decrease in business profitability. The Group makes use of external financial resources in the form of debt. Changes in market interest rates influence the cost and return of various forms of financing by affecting financial expenses. Interest rate risk is partially managed through the use of derivative financial instruments in the form of interest rate swaps.
As at 31 March 2025, the Group had financial exposure to banks for various technical forms of financings for a total amount of EUR 54.8 million, on which variable interest rates accrued ranging from 3.8% to 6.3% (excluding low-interest loans) during the first three months of 2025, as well as cash and cash equivalents totalling EUR 41.6 million. Interest rate swap agreements are in place to cover this exposure, with a total notional residual amount of EUR 20.1 million, equal to approximately 37% of the total gross debt.
Financial liabilities include the best estimate of the present value of earn-outs and put and call options entered into with the minority shareholders of the acquired companies. The earnout and put and call option values are directly linked to the achievement of certain economic and financial targets by the companies acquired
(generally contractually defined EBITDA and NFP) in the periods following the taking over of control.
The value and recognition of the incentive plans is linked to the increase in value of the Company's share price, recorded for a period of at least 30 consecutive days on the trading market compared to the IPO price, during the first 3 years of office and/or during the second 3 years of office in the case of renewal of office and failure to meet the objectives during the first 3 years of office. This is calculated and paid in cash by the Company during the month, following a positive verification by the Board of Directors that the long-term incentive has accrued. These liabilities are restated at every period-end or when a liquidation event occurs. Their effects are then reflected in the income statement under financial income in the income statement, together with the estimated discount cost for these liabilities.
With regard to the Performance Shares plan, the Group recognises share-settled transactions on the basis of IFRS 2, which requires the cost of transactions to be determined on the basis of their fair value at their allocation date. At each reporting date, the Group also determines the fair value of the instrument based on the probability of achieving the defined performance targets.
The Group is exposed to the risks associated with the current and future global, European and Italian economic and political situation, which is also aggravated by recent political and military tensions in Ukraine and in Israel, where the development and political and economic impact are still uncertain and hard to assess. Therefore, it cannot be excluded that the occurrence and/or continuation of any economic downturn and/or political instability and any future negative impact, including any significant impact, on the global, European and/or national economy may lead to a weakening of demand for the Group's products, with potential adverse effects on the Group's business and prospects, as well as on its economic, capital and financial position.
The global geopolitical situation is undergoing a period of extreme tension and
complexity, especially as a result of the conflicts between Russia and Ukraine and between Israel and Palestine. These dramatic events have further stimulated inflationary phenomena and the already existing speculative dynamics, with particular reference to energy and raw material prices. The Group has very limited involvement in the areas affected by the conflict and its business model is not particularly exposed to inflationary commodity phenomena or higher energy costs; however, it cannot be excluded that the continuation of this situation may lead to margin pressures or impacts on the propensity to consume durable goods.
Looking ahead, there are unknowns related to the effects of the fiscal and trade policy that the US administration will decide to implement. Specifically, the introduction of duties and tariffs on numerous countries and geographical areas to make imports less advantageous and competitive compared to domestic products or services could undermine international trade in goods and services. In this context, despite the risks associated with the drift towards protectionism in the United States, the Group does not foresee any particular risks or concerns to date, especially in view of the high-end market to which its products are aimed, which are not very sensitive to price changes. However, it cannot be ruled out that fiscal policy may have an impact on the propensity to consume and, therefore, the Group pays continuous attention to developments in the external environment.
In preparing the annual consolidated financial statements, taking into account the priorities expressed by ESMA in light of the findings of The Global Risks Report 2024 drafted by the World Economic Forum, Dexelance's management has assessed the effect of climate risks on the Group on the basis of the historical probability of the occurrence of climate events.
Specifically, by defining the potential impacts of physical risks and transition risks (relating to technological innovations, regulatory changes, and changing market expectations), management was able to obtain a sufficiently complete picture of the situation at the Group level. The Group considers climate-related issues in its estimates and assumptions when necessary. This assessment includes a broad
spectrum of possible impacts for the Group from both physical and transitional risks. Although the Group believes that its business model and products will still be attractive as a result of the transition to a low-emissions economy, climate-related issues increase the uncertainty of estimates and assumptions concerning numerous elements or items in the financial statements. Although climate-related risks may not have a significant impact on measurement at present, the Group is closely monitoring developments and changes, such as new climate-related regulations and standards. Fully aware of the strategic importance of responsible and sustainable operations, the Group decided some time ago to take a proactive stance on sustainability, by communicating information to its stakeholders on environmental, social and governance factors. The Group recognises the fundamental role played by strong and long-lasting cooperation with all stakeholders and its commitment to an increasingly sustainable business.
On 2 April 2025, Dexelance announced that it had signed a letter of intent to create a strategic partnership by acquiring shares in Roda S.r.l., a leader in luxury outdoor furniture.
The letter of intent initially envisages Dexelance's acquisition of a minority shareholding in Roda, partly through the purchase of shares and partly through the subscription of a capital increase to support new investments and to initiate a new growth phase for the Roda Group, and in a second phase, Dexelance's purchase of the majority of Roda's share capital through the exercise of the relevant call and put options.
In line with the Dexelance merger model, the Roda Group's operational governance will remain unchanged. Dexelance will provide strategic support through its sales and retail network, with communication and marketing initiatives, digital transformation projects, and by giving Roda access to its relationships with the world's most prestigious architecture and interior design studios.
The contractual documentation and the transaction are expected to be finalised by mid-May.
The Group continuously monitors both the performance of the relevant markets and developments in the geopolitical situation, regarding to the previously discussed aspects of exogenous risk factors, which call for a continuously cautious approach to macroeconomic.
It should be noted that the Group is pursuing its growth strategy by external lines and negotiations are currently underway that may materialise in the coming months.
