REGULATORY ANNOUNCEMENT

Colt CZ Group Responds to U.S. Tariffs on European Goods

Prague (April 3, 2025) – Colt CZ Group SE ("Colt CZ", the "Group" or the "Company") is closely monitoring the situation regarding the introduction of 20% tariffs by the U.S. administration on imports from the European Union and is taking proactive steps to maintain its competitiveness on the key U.S. market. The Group remains committed to fulfilling its obligations to its partners and customers in the United States.

The introduction of tariffs will have a material impact on the Group's financial performance. However, the Group already carries out part of its production directly in the United States through its subsidiary Colt. The Group anticipates impacts in both the firearms and ammunition segments, particularly in case of subsidiaries that export part of their production to the U.S., namely Česká zbrojovka and Sellier & Bellot. The Group does not expect a major impact on its planned total revenues; however, it does foresee a potential impact on its operating profitability, particularly on EBITDA.

The Company is currently taking steps to mitigate the impact on profitability, whether through price adjustments, changes to the product mix, or redirecting exports to other territories. For the time being, the Company will not revise its guidance for 2025 until it evaluates potential scenarios, including developments in the commercial market in the USA.

The Group plans to respond to the situation as follows:

In the short term, the Group is prepared to partially absorb the tariff impact, while it may increase prices for selected products.

In the medium and long term, depending on further developments, the Company may redirect part of its exports to other markets. At the same time, the Group is actively working on optimalization of costs, strict cost control and diversification of risks in order to protect its operating margins.

Colt CZ Group remains committed to delivering high-quality products to its customers and creating long-term value for its shareholders, regardless of evolving market conditions.
