No. 125 of September 6, 2024, may be made by a person other than the manager responsible for the preparation of the company's financial reports.

MACROECONOMIC AND GEOPOLITICAL RISKS

In early 2025, financial markets experienced a significant downturn due to the introduction of tariffs on the import and export of industrial goods by the United States to its major trading partners, including the EU. Although a temporary suspension has been initiated at the moment, negotiations among individual countries are still ongoing, and uncertainty persists about the outcome of the negotiations and the potential impact this action could have as a reflection on the world economy. The Group monitors the situation to be able to intercept and offset any macroeconomic risks arising from the effective implementation of the tariffs.

Geopolitical uncertainty also remains regarding the ongoing conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East. The socio-political tensions that escalated into conflict between Russia and Ukraine have prompted the EU to implement economic sanctions against Russia. The Group has no offices in the countries currently affected by the conflict, nor do they represent significant outlet or supply markets for it. Following the adoption of the aforementioned sanctions, the Group companies have suspended all sales and post-sales activities with Russia (trade with Belarus had already been blocked) and have implemented control systems in order to prevent business transactions with sanctioned countries. The potential effects of this situation on the Company and Group's income and financial results are however constantly monitored. Regarding the conflict in the Middle East, the situation has seen notable developments in recent months. In fact, a truce between the parties involved took effect in early 2025. Despite the truce, the situation remains sensitive. For this reason, while the Group lacks a sphere of influence or operational headquarters in Israel, Iran and Lebanon, it remains vigilant regarding potential negative effects stemming from heightened instability in this region.

EVENTS AFTER THE END OF THE PERIOD

On April 29, 2025, Datalogic S.p.A. finalised the acquisition of 100% of the share capital of Datema Retail Solutions AB (Datema), a Stockholm-based company known for its EasyShop software- a hardware-agnostic self-scanning solution adopted by leading retailers in Europe. The strategic transaction reinforces Datalogic's role as Europe's foremost provider of complete self-shopping solutions for retail and is part of the Group's vision to drive innovation in this rapidly evolving sector and to expand its software solutions offering.

BUSINESS OUTLOOK

To date, the outlook for the full year 2025 remains largely unchanged. Overall, the Group expects a gradual improvement quarter by quarter in both sales and profitability.

Robust double-digit order growth in the current quarter, both in the Data Capture segment, driven by Mobile Computer which doubled orders, and in the Industrial Automation segment, particularly in Logistic Automation, allows the Group to confirm its revenue growth expectations for the year in the range of +3% to +6%. The first half of the year is expected to be largely in line with the prior year, due to mere timing effect in order conversion, with sustained growth in the second half. Barring geopolitical and macroeconomic upheavals, particularly on the tariff front, the Group expects to end 2025 with double-digit operating margins.

The Group remains confident that continued investment in research and development, the introduction of innovative products and solutions, and the recent acquisition of Datema, which strengthens its leadership in retail self-shopping solutions, will enable it to continue its structural path of profitable growth.

Its pioneering solutions help increase efficiency and quality of processes in the areas of Retail, Manufacturing, Transportation & Logistics, and Healthcare, along the entire value chain.

Datalogic S.p.A. (hereinafter "Datalogic", the "Parent Company" or the "Company") is a joint-stock company listed on Euronext STAR Milan of Borsa Italiana S.p.A. and is headquartered in Italy. The registered office is in Via Candini 2, Lippo di Calderara (BO).

This Consolidated Interim Report for the period ended March 31, 2025 includes the figures of the Parent Company and its subsidiaries (hereinafter referred to as the "Group") and the relevant shares in associates.

The publication of this Consolidated Interim Report for the period ended March 31, 2025 of the Datalogic Group was authorised by resolution of the Board of Directors on May 15, 2025.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

1) General criteria

This Consolidated Interim Report was prepared pursuant to Article 154-ter D. Legislative Decree no. 58 of February 24, 1998 (TUF) as subsequently amended and supplemented, as well as to the CONSOB Issuer Regulation. The criteria for the preparation of the Statement are in accordance with the requirements of IAS 34 "Interim Financial Reporting", providing the summary information notes required by the above standard, supplemented if the case to provide a greater level of information where deemed necessary.

This Consolidated Interim Report should therefore be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Annual Financial Report at December 31, 2024, prepared in accordance with IFRS accounting standards adopted by the European Union, approved by the Board of Directors on March 20, 2025, and available in the Investor Relations section of the Group's website (www.datalogic.com).

2) Reporting formats

The reporting formats adopted are compliant with those required by IAS 1 and were used in the Consolidated Annual Financial Report for the year ended December 31, 2024, in particular:

  • current and non-current assets, as well as current and non-current liabilities are shown separately in the Statement of Financial Position. Current assets, which include cash and cash equivalents, are those intended to be realised, sold or consumed in the Group's normal operating cycle; current liabilities are those expected to be settled in the Group's normal operating cycle or in the twelve months following the end of the period;
  • with regard to the Income Statement, cost and revenue items are shown based on grouping by function, as this classification was deemed more explanatory for understanding the Group's results of operations;

  • the Statement of Comprehensive Income shows the items that determine profit/(loss) for the period, considering income and expense recognised directly in equity;
  • the Statement of Cash Flows is presented using the "indirect method".

This Consolidated Interim Report is prepared in Euro thousands, which is the Group's "functional" and "presentation" currency under IAS 21.

3) Use of estimates and assumptions

The preparation of the IFRS-compliant Consolidated Interim Report requires Directors to apply accounting standards and methodologies that, in some cases, are based on valuations and estimates, which in turn refer to historic experience and assumptions based on specific circumstances at any given time. The application of these estimates and assumptions affects the amounts of revenue, expense, assets and liabilities and their disclosure, as well as the disclosure of contingent liabilities. The results of financial statement items for which the above estimates and assumptions were used may differ from those shown owing to the uncertainty surrounding the assumptions and conditions on which the estimates are based.

4) Consolidation scope

This Consolidated Interim Report at March 31, 2025 includes the income statement and balance sheet data of Datalogic S.p.A. and all the companies that it directly or indirectly controls.

The list of investments included in the consolidation area appears in Annex 2 of the Explanatory Notes, with an indication of the methodology used.

TRANSACTIONS WITH SUBSIDIARIES THAT ARE NOT CONSOLIDATED LINE BY LINE, ASSOCIATES AND RELATED PARTIES

For the definition of "Related Parties", reference is made not only to IAS 24, approved by EC Regulation no. 1725/2003, but also to the Procedure for Related-Party Transactions approved by the Board of Directors on November 4, 2010 (last amended on June 23, 2021) available on the Company website www.datalogic.com. The parent company of Datalogic Group is Hydra S.p.A..

Intercompany transactions are carried out as part of the ordinary operations and at normal market conditions. Additionally, there are related-party transactions carried out again in the ordinary course of business and at normal market conditions, of an immaterial amount pursuant to and in accordance with the "RPT Procedure", attributable mainly to Hydra S.p.A. or to entities subject (with Datalogic S.p.A.) to common control or to persons exercising administrative and management functions at Datalogic S.p.A. (including entities controlled by them and close family members).

Related-party transactions refer mainly to commercial and property transactions (instrumental and non-instrumental premises for the Group leased or rented out), consulting services, and participation in tax consolidation. None of them are of particular economic or strategic importance to the Group, since receivables, payables, revenue, and expense from related parties do not have a material percentage impact on the total amounts of the financial statements.

Pursuant to Article 5, paragraph 8, of the CONSOB Regulations, it should be noted that, over the period 01.01.2025 - 31.03.2025, the Company's Board of Directors did not approve any transaction of greater significance, as set out by Article 3, paragraph 1, letter b) of the CONSOB Regulations, or any related-party transactions of a lesser significance that had a material impact on the Group's equity position or results.
