## Breakdown of revenues by brand

(\*) Percentage impact compared to revenues from sales

<sup>1</sup> With the introduction of the new accounting standard IFRS 16, starting from April 1st, 2019, a new accounting treatment of leases is introduced, which generates a significant effect on EBITDA, EBIT, net invested capital, net financial position, and cash flow generated from operational activity. For this reason, in this press release the "adjusted" balances of the amounts are also reported to make the figures for March 31st, 2025, comparable with those of previous periods.

### Breakdown of revenues by geographical area

(\*) Percentage impact compared to revenues from sales

From a geographical standpoint, Piquadro Group sales in the Italian market, amounted to Euro 84.3 million, in the financial year 2024/25 ended on March 31, 2025, and they stand at 45.9% of the Group's total sales (47.8% of consolidated sales as of March 31, 2024) with a (2.1)% decrease compared to the same period of fiscal year 2023-2024.

In the European market, the Group registered sales of Euro 93.4 million, equal to 50.9% of consolidated sales (48.3% of consolidated sales as of March 31, 2024), with a 7.4% increase compared to the same period of fiscal year 2023-2024.

In the extra-European geographical area (called "Rest of the world"), the Group recorded sales of Euro 5.9 million with around 1.2 million decrease compared to the same period ended on March 31, 2024. The decrease is largely attributable to extra-European market dynamics and Maison Lancel stores closures in China (impact of around 600 thousand Euros).

In terms of profitability, the Piquadro Group recorded an EBITDA of around €31.4 million as of March 31, 2025, compared to the € 32.0 million recorded in the previous fiscal year ended March 31, 2024.

The adjusted EBITDA<sup>1</sup> , defined as EBITDA net of the impacts deriving from the application of IFRS 16, is equal to € 19.3 million compared to € 19.6 million recorded in the previous fiscal year ended March 31, 2024.

The adjusted EBITDA<sup>1</sup> of the Piquadro brand as of March 31, 2025, is positive and equal to € 9.9 million versus 14.6 million Euro registered in financial year 2023/2024 ended March 31, 2024. The reduction is primarily attributable to the decrease in revenues, particularly within the wholesale channel, as a result of disruptions in maritime transport that adversely affected the supply chain.

Additional contributing factors include higher logistics costs associated with the importation of finished goods, increased marketing expenditures, and a rise in labor-related costs. The adjusted EBITDA<sup>1</sup> of The Bridge as of March 31, 2025, is positive and equal to € 6.0 million versus amount of 5.6 million Euro registered in financial year 2023/2024 ended March 31, 2024 (+8.0%).This improvement is largely driven by the positive performance in revenues.; The adjusted EBITDA<sup>1</sup> of the Maison Lancel as of March 31, 2025, is positive and equal to €3.5 million and compares with the amount of € (0.6) million recorded on March 31, 2024. This improvement is mainly attributable to the increase in revenues—particularly in the retail channel—as well as the completion of costefficiency measures implemented within the Maison's operational structure.

Piquadro Group recorded an EBIT positive and around € 16.4 million as of March 31, 2025, improved by around 1.5 million Euro compared to the amount € 14.8 million Euro recorded in the previous fiscal year ended March 31, 2024 (+10.4%).

Piquadro Group recorded a Consolidated Net Result of around € 11.6 million as of March 31, 2025, improved by around € 1.1 million Euro compared to the amount recorded in the previous fiscal year ended March 31, 2024.

Below are reported the Group's main profitability ratios as of 31 March 2025 compared to 31 March 2024:

| Profitability ratios          | Composition of the ratio     | 31 March<br>2025 | 31 March<br>2024 | var %   |
|-------------------------------|------------------------------|------------------|------------------|---------|
| Return on sales (R.O.S.)      | EBIT/Net revenues from sales | 8.92%            | 8.23%            | +8.36%  |
| Return on Investment (R.O.I.) | EBIT/Net invested capital    | 16.54%           | 16.76%           | (1.34)% |
| Return on Equity (R.O.E.)     | Profit of the year/Equity    | 16.83%           | 16.27%           | +3.44%  |

Piquadro Group, facing 1.9% increase in consolidated sales, succeeded in improving the return on sales (R.O.S) which grew by approximately 8%, rising from 8.23% as of March 31, 2024, to around 9% as of March 31, 2025, while also achieving an increase of about 3% in return on equity (R.O.E.) and maintaining operational efficiency (R.O.I.) essentially stable at 17% as of March 31, 2025.

The Net Financial Position of the Piquadro Group was negative and equal to € (30.2) million. The impact of the application of the accounting standard IFRS 16 was equal to approximately € 43.1 million with a minus sign compared to approximately €40.6 million with a negative sign as of March 31, 2024.

This increase is primarily attributable to the renewal and signing of certain lease agreements related to stores managed by the Group.

The adjusted Net Financial Position<sup>1</sup> of the Piquadro Group, was positive and equal to approximately €12.9 million, compared to the Group's positive figure of approximately €16.8 million recorded on March 31, 2024. The variation in the adjusted Net Financial Position of the Piquadro Group on March 31, 2025, compared to the Net Financial Position recorded around the same period of the previous year, is explained investments of € 5.0 million in fixed, intangible, and financial assets, of € 0.7 million in treasury shares buy back, € 7.0 million in dividends paid by Piquadro S.p.A. in August 2024 and by € 13.6 million of positive free-cash flow net of taxes and by temporary uses of working capital for growth of EUR 4.9 million.

"In a complex and uncertainty economic and geopolitical context, the Piquadro Group has once again demonstrated its resilience. We are pleased to close the fiscal year ending March 31, 2025, with a 1.9% growth on sales and a net profit increase of approximately 10%, results that clearly reflect the effectiveness our medium- to long-term strategies". states Marco Palmieri, President and CEO of Piquadro Group. "Particularly noteworthy is Maison Lancel that has delivered the first time the return to profit which highlights the positive turnaround, the repositioning and rationalization process undertaken. Likewise, The Bridge reported excellent profit performance, confirming the strength of the brand and the effectiveness of its management model. Piquadro, despite a contraction in profitability, has firmly addressed challenges related to geopolitical tensions that have impacted logistics and some strategic areas of the value chain. These effects were amplified by a deep industrial and commercial restructuring process, as well as by increased costs in the digital area, necessary investments to equip ourselves with a more robust IT infrastructure, ready to face the challenges of the coming years.

The first two months of the current fiscal year, although marked by high variability and exceptional uncertainty, are showing encouraging signs, particularly in the business-to-consumer channel, where we are seeing interesting growth in both physical retail and e-commerce. The Group therefore continues with confidence along its path of evolution, with the aim of strengthening the positioning of its brands and increasing value creation for all stakeholders."

### Outlook 2025-26

The fiscal year ended March 31, 2025, once again demonstrated the strength of the Group in a context of significant volatility, such as that which characterized the past year.

The Group successfully completed the turnaround of Maison Lancel, which, for the first time since its acquisition, recorded fully positive financial results, and continued the strategic enhancement of the Piquadro and The Bridge brands.

In the current economic environment the Group's management believes it can continue to achieve growth rates exceeding those recorded in the past year by leveraging the distinctive strengths of all three brands, with a strong focus on research and development as well as ongoing attention to consumer needs. The management therefore expects to deliver improved performance in terms of profitability and cash generation, also thanks to the Group's solid financial and capital position.

The Board of Directors of Piquadro S.p.A. will propose to the upcoming Shareholders' Meeting, scheduled for July 28, 2025 at 11:00 a.m. in first call at the Company's registered office, and, if necessary, in second call on July 29, 2025 at the same time and place, to: (i) allocate the entire net profit for the year, amounting to €5,885,529, for the payment of a dividend, the per-share amount of which will be determined based on the number of outstanding shares, net of treasury shares; and (ii) distribute an extraordinary dividend, by allocating a portion of the "undistributed earnings reserve" amounting to €1,114,471, the per-share amount of which will likewise be determined based on the number of outstanding shares, net of treasury shares, for a total distribution of €7 million.

The dividend will be paid starting from August 6, 2025 (record date: August 5, 2025), with coupon no. 16 detachment on August 4, 2025.

The proposal, if approved by the Shareholders' Meeting, would authorize the Board to purchase treasury shares up to the maximum permitted by law for a period of 12 months from the date of authorization – i.e., until the Shareholders' Meeting approving the financial statements as of March 31, 2026 – using available reserves from the latest approved financial statements.

Purchases may be made in one or more tranches on regulated markets pursuant to Article 144-bis, paragraph 1, letter b) of the Issuers' Regulation, according to market practices that do not permit pre-arranged matching of orders.

The purchase price will be set with reference to the market conditions and within the following range:

- The minimum price must not be lower than 20% below the reference price recorded on the trading day prior to each purchase;
- The maximum price must not exceed 10% above the reference price recorded on the trading day prior to each purchase.

For purchases made under market practice no. 1 (liquidity support), the purchase price must not be higher than the greater of the last independent trade price and the highest current independent bid on the market.

The proposal also authorizes the sale, in one or more tranches, of treasury shares, at a price to be set by the Board, not lower than 20% below the reference price recorded on the day before each sale.

The authorization for disposal is requested without time limits, effective from the date of the Shareholders' Meeting resolution (July 28 or 29, 2025).

In the event that the sale of treasury shares is carried out within the framework of accepted market practices related to market liquidity support, as referred to in point 1 of Consob Resolution No.

![](_page_8_Picture_1.jpeg)

16839/2009, and without prejudice to the additional limits set forth therein, the price of the sale orders must not be lower than the lower of the price of the last independent transaction and the current price of the lowest independent sale order available on the market where the sale orders are placed.

As of June 13, 2025, the Company holds 2,769,450 treasury shares, representing 5.5389% of the share capital. Subsidiaries do not hold any shares in the Company.

### Summary of Economic-financial data and interpretation of alternative performance indicators (Iap)

The Piquadro Group uses the Alternative Performance Indicators (Iap) to effectively transmit information regarding the performance of the profitability of the business in which it operates and to determine its precise asset and financial position. In accordance with the guidelines published on the 5th of October 2015, by the European Securities and Markets Authority (Esma / 2015/1415), and in line with the provisions of the Consob Communication No. 92543 listed on the 3rd of December 2015, the Group provides content and the criterion to determine the Iap used in these financial statements.

• EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization) is an economic indicator that is not defined in the International Accounting Standards. EBITDA is a measure used by Management to monitor and evaluate the Group's operating performance. Management believes that EBITDA is an important parameter for measuring the Group's performance, as it is not influenced by the volatility regarding the effects of the different criteria that determine taxable income, the amount and characteristics of the capital employed as well as the policies of amortization. EBITDA is defined as the Operating Profit before amortization and depreciation of tangible and intangible assets, financial income and charges and income taxes for the year.

• The Adjusted EBITDA is defined as the EBITDA excluded the impacts deriving from the implementation of IFRS 16.

• EBIT - Earnings Before Interest and Taxes is the operating profit before financial income and charges and income taxes.

• The Net Financial Position ("NFP"), utilized as a financial indicator of borrowing, is represented as the sum of the following positive and negative components of the Statement of Financial Position, as required by the CONSOB Call for attention notice no. 5/21 of 29 April 2021. Positive components: cash and cash equivalents, liquid securities under current assets, short-term financial receivables.

Negative components: payables to banks, payables to other lenders, leasing and factoring Companies, non-current portion of trade payables and other payables. ·

• The Adjusted Net Financial Position ("adjusted NFP") is defined as the Net Financial Position excluded the impacts deriving from the application of IFRS 16.

• The ROS, i.e. the average operating result by revenue unit. This ratio expresses the Company's profitability in relation to the revenue flow's ability to generate remuneration.

• The ROI, i.e. the return on net invested capital, is given by the ratio of net Operating Margin to net invested capital and is expressed as a percentage. This indicator is used as a financial target in both internal (business plans) and external (analysts and investors) presentations and intends to measure the ability to produce wealth through operations and therefore to remunerate both net worth and borrowed capital.

• The ROE, i.e. the return on equity, is given by the ratio of net profit to equity and is expressed as a percentage. This indicator is used as a financial target in both internal (business plans) and external (analysts and investors) presentations and intends to measure the profitability obtained by investors on account of risks
