EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

DOUBLE DIGIT GROWTH AND HIGH CASH GENERATION IN H1 2025

Revenue increase of +33.5 million of euros vs 1H 2024 resulting from:

performance effect of +20.3 million euros (meaning a like-for-like growth of +14% vs 1H 2024), driven by a +3% increase in sold area (volumes impact) for Organized exhibitions and a +4% for Hosted exhibitions, a +9% rise in services, alongside strong congress business performance of +52%

calendar effect of + 5.3 million euros: due to the combination of the presence of Tuttofood (biennial) and The Innovation Alliance (multi-year), and the absence of Mostra Convegno Expocomfort and Transpotec & Logitec (biennial in even years)

new events effect of +2.5 million euros, including Artigiano in Fiera - Anteprima d'Estate and NetZero Milan

acquisition of Expotrans S.p.A.: +5.5 million euros

A STRONG H2 2025 AHEAD, SUPPORTED BY A FAVORABLE ODD-YEAR CALENDAR

New event Biennial Multi-year

DYNAMIC M&A ACTIVITY: TWO ACQUISITIONS EXECUTED

  • Target company: Expotrans Italy's leading player in logistics services for exhibitions, congresses and international events
  • Stake: 51% | Revenues 2024: €28.7m | Acquisition value: €7.2m
  • Synergies & strategic rationale:

Strengthen strategic positioning → synergies across exhibition logistics value chain Expand commercial reach → targeted offering for organizers and international clients Broaden service coverage → more contracts for both internal and third-party events Boost customer retention → improved support for exhibitors through integrated logistics Enhance operational control → safer, more efficient traffic and logistics management

  • Target company: EMAC S.r.l., organiser of Milano AutoClassica (Fiera Milano hosted exhibition since 2012) and Vicenza Classic Car Show
  • Stake: 35%
  • Synergies & strategic rationale:
    • Strategic alliance with IEG and Mosaico (Andrea Martini)joint shareholding (Fiera Milano 35%, IEG
      • 35%, Mosaico 30%) and coordinated governance
    • Builds a national champion in the classic car segment
    • Strengthens owned event portfolio in line with the 2024–2027 Strategic Plan
    • From hosted to integrated model → ensures strategic control and margin preservation
    • Synergies in content, audience and visibility across events
    • Reinforces systemic cooperation between Italy's major exhibition groups

€30.7M CONTRACT AWARDED FOR MILANO ICE PARK TEMPORARY INFRASTRUCTURE WORKS IN RHO (MILAN)

2025 GUIDANCE UPGRADE DRIVEN BY STRONG BUSINESS MOMENTUM

  • Strong H1 2025 organic performance despite macroeconomic uncertainty and market volatility:
    • Congress business +52% YoY, driven by major international events (e.g. Asian Development Bank Annual Meeting, European Hematology Association)
    • Services division up +9%, confirming a structurally positive trend in both physical and digital services
    • Exhibition business performing above expectations, supported by flagship events such as BIT and TUTTOFOOD
  • H2 2025 expected to benefit from:
    • Expotrans consolidation (from May) leader in exhibition logistics
    • Olympic infrastructure contract award (design and management of temporary structures at Rho for speed skating and ice hockey events)

  • Revenue growth supported by solid performance of the exhibitions, stronger service penetration, and the contribution of new events. The semester also benefited from a favorable calendar, with key multi-year exhibitions (The Innovation Alliance, Tuttofood powered by Cibus) offsetting the absence of even-year hosted events.
  • The EBITDA variation is mainly due to the aforementioned Revenue trend and equity-accounted results, in addition to the costs related to the sponsorship rights for the XXV Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympic Games, the costs related to the launch of the Employee Share Ownership Planand and higher personnel expenses due to increased headcount across the Group.
  • Revenues amounted to €4.3 million in 1H 2025, in line with those recorded in the same period of the previous year.
  • EBITDA decreased by € 0.9 million, primarily attributable to the result of the joint venture held under joint control with the partner Deutsche MESSE AG in relation to exhibitions in China.
  • Revenue growth primarily due to higher Revenue from recurring events also present in 1H 2024 (AWS Summit Milano, Salesforce and Netcomm) and from non-recurring events compared to the first half of 2024. Key events included ADB – Asian Development Bank and EHA – European Hematology Association.
  • EBITDA increased by € 2.0 million, primarily attributable to the aforementioned revenue performance.
  • Revenues reflect the inclusion of Expotrans SpA, Event Logistics Team Srl and Expotrans Pte Ltd within the consolidation perimeter.
  • EBITDA reflects the same consolidation effects impacting revenues, mainly related to the inclusion of Expotrans

Revenues: increased from Euro 144.4m in 1H 2024 to Euro 177.9m in 1H 2025, showing a growth of Euro +33.5m. This change is mainly attributable to:

  • Positive performance effect of Euro +20.3m, corresponding to a like-for-like growth of +14%. The main areas contributing to this performance effect are:
    • Sale of exhibition spaces (area) – Organized: +3%
    • Sale of exhibition spaces (area) – Hosted: +4%
    • Physical and digital services: +9%
    • Congresses: +52%

  • Calendar effect of Euro +5.3m, resulting from the combination of the presence of Tuttofood (biennial) and The Innovation Alliance (multi-year), and the absence of Mostra Convegno Expocomfort and Transpotec & Logitec (biennial in even years)
  • Effect of new events amounting to Euro +2.5m, including Artigiano in Fiera Anteprima d'Estate
  • Acquisition of Expotrans S.p.A. Euro +5.5m
  • EBITDA: increased from Euro 54.6m in 1H 2024 to Euro 63.1m in 1H 2025, with a positive change of Euro +8.5m. The variation mainly reflects the previously mentioned revenue trend and the contribution from equityaccounted investments.This effect was partially offset by the cost of sponsorship rights related to the XXV Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympic Games, charges from the launch of the Employee Share Ownership Plan, and the increase in Group headcount, including personnel from the Expotrans Group acquired during the period.
  • Financial management: negative variation of Euro -2.1m due to the increase in financial charges on lease liabilities following the revision of the discount rate and the fair value of shares in ESG mutual investment funds.
  • Net result for the period in 1H 2025 amounts to Euro 23.1m, an increase of Euro +0.5m compared to Euro 22.6m in 1H 2024.

*Note: For the evaluation of the data it is important to consider that the Group's activity is subject to seasonality due to the presence of biennial and multi-annual exhibitions. This phenomenon makes it more difficult to compare different financial years.

components:
  • increase in Current Assets of Euro 17.4m, mainly due to the rise in "Trade and other receivables" by Euro 18.0m, related to higher receivables from clients and organizers;
  • increase in Current Liabilities of Euro 63.6m, mainly due to the net effect of:
  • increase in "Trade payables" by Euro 2.3m

  • increase in "Advances" by Euro 21.5m, as the net effect of higher advances invoiced to customers for events scheduled in the following quarters (notably Host) and decreases related to events held in the first half of the year (notably the Saloni)
  • increase in "Provisions for risks and charges and other current liabilities" by Euro 39.9m mainly related to the increase in deferred income on invoiced fees pertaining to future periods for the use of the venue for the organization of the XXV Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympic Games and to the increase in payables to organizers.
  • Net Financial Position (pre-IFRS16) as of 30 June 2025 shows a net financial availability of Euro 119.1m compared to a net financial availability of Euro 77.8m as of 31 December 2024.

The increase of Euro 41.3m mainly reflects the cash generation during the half-year, driven by the results achieved and the advance payments received for upcoming events and the XXV Olympic Winter Games Milano Cortina 2026. This effect was partially offset by the dividend payment and the transaction for the acquisition of Expotrans.
