LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS

Dear Shareholder,

I am delighted to report that ARYZTA continued to make solid progress over the last six months despite the highly uncertain geopolitical environment, cost inflation and subdued consumer sentiment. We remain focused on delivering organic growth in our core business, strengthening our presence in the markets and driving operational excellence under the auspices of our new CEO Michael Schai.

Resilient performance

Despite challenging market conditions, ARYZTA managed to improve its organic growth to 2.8%, compared to -0.7% in H1 2024. The businesses achieved a strong growth acceleration in Q2 with the performance driven by good volume growth as well as positive pricing.

ARYZTA achieved revenue of €1,086.4m in the six-month period ended June 2025. Europe delivered revenue of €968.6m, while Rest of World generated revenue of €117.8m. Higher than expected inflation across certain key inputs, such as butter, eggs, cocoa and labour, delayed the conclusion of some of our customer tender negotiations, impacting profitability. As a result, our EBITDA increased by 0.5% to €150.5m, while the EBITDA margin decreased by 30bps due to the factors outlined.

We are making good progress on executing on our innovation investments, which will continue to support our growth strategy. Our new laminated line in Switzerland is now fully operational. We continue to work to commission new capacity in Germany and Australia and have advanced plans for future new capacity in Poland.

Reverse share split successfully implemented

At our Annual General Meeting on 30 April 2025, ARYZTA's shareholders approved the reverse share split at a ratio of 40:1 as proposed by the Board of Directors to enhance the tradability of the shares. This was successfully implemented on 6 May 2025.

New mid-term plan and targets presented at Capital Markets Day

At our Capital Markets Day on 7 May 2025, we unveiled our plan and performance targets for the 2025-28 strategic cycle. The event at our site in Dagmersellen (CH), with the opportunity to visit our newest production line, was well attended and feedback was very positive both from analysts and investors. Under the leadership of our new CEO Michael Schai, ARYZTA is targeting above market revenue growth supported by volume/mix growth, a further increase in profitability and to resume capital returns to shareholders. While we do not expect to achieve these targets evenly across the period due to year-to-year macroeconomic fluctuation, our plan is firmly grounded in strong customer engagement and supported by the continuous shift from fresh and pre-packaged bakery to bake-off, as well as ongoing product innovation. We remain focused on driving further improvements in business performance and operational efficiency.

The Group expects to continue to improve its profitability to an EBITDA margin of more than 15%. Solid sustainable cash generation will allow ARYZTA to further reduce net leverage to not lower than 1.5-2.0x by 2028, while maintaining a disciplined approach to capital expenditure by targeting investment as a percentage of revenue of 3.5%– 4.5%. The plan envisages further improvement in free cash flow, ROIC and EPS.

ARYZTA's 2025-28 plan is primarily focused on organic growth but also allows for potential bolt-on M&A where opportunities arise in core markets and activities that offer compelling shareholder value creation.

The implementation of the new plan is supported by an increased focus on technology, including artificial intelligence (AI). Digitalization and AI are transforming industries, including the food sector. AI, in particular, will play a pivotal role in interlinking production lines, warehouses, demand planning and logistics, enhancing operational efficiency. Effective 1 January 2025, the Board established a dedicated Technology Committee that is progressing plans to leverage the efficiency benefits of these emerging technologies across our businesses. This will help ensure that

LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS

LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS

ARYZTA remains competitive, agile and responsive to the ever-changing consumer and customer needs.

Outlook

For our 2025 financial year, we continue to target low to mid-single digit organic growth and improvements across key financial metrics, albeit with quarterly variations, especially given the sustained volatility around input costs and the macro-economic uncertainties impacting consumer sentiment.

On behalf of the Board of Directors of ARYZTA AG, I wish to thank you for your continued support and trust. We look forward to reporting further progress as the year unfolds and remain committed to delivering value and growth.

Urs Jordi Chairman, Board of Directors

11 August 2025

OPERATING REPORT

Organic growth acceleration in Q2. Resilient profitability and cash generation. Further leverage reduction and double-digit EPS growth.

Solid organic growth driven by strong Q2

ARYZTA achieved H1 revenue of €1,086.4m, with an organic growth of 2.8%. This was driven by a volume contribution of 2.1%, pricing of 1.0% and a negative mix impact of (0.3%).

Revenue

in € million

The organic growth performance was supported by a strong improvement in Q2 to 4.0%. This reflects continued market share gains by bake-off, new innovation capacity coming on stream and a strong recovery in Rest of World in Q2. The performance was achieved in a challenging market environment of further cost inflation and pressurised consumer spending. The cost advantages of bakery calorific value and the competitiveness of bake-off remain the key organic growth support factors.

Resilient profitability

The H1 profitability performance was resilient despite a more cost-conscious consumer and the upward inflationary pressures. H1 EBITDA increased by 0.5% to €150.5m versus the comparable period, while EBITDA margin decreased by 30bps to 13.9%.

EBITDA margin

13.9%

The decline in margin reflects the challenging market environment as well as the impact from delays in the finalisation of some tender agreements in the period. This is the result of the challenges faced from the significant price volatility in some key raw materials such as butter, eggs and cocoa, as well as increased labour costs across our geographies.

ARYZTA's focus remains on delivering continued business performance and efficiency improvements. As communicated at the Group's Capital Markets Day in May, the mid-term plan 2025-28 targets gross cost optimisations in the range of €40-€60m from operations, procurement and structural costs initiatives. The plan also involves incremental ramp-up costs of €20-€30m for the further roll-out of the IT infrastructure to secure the gross cost savings, resulting in a net projected saving of €20-€30m.

Innovation accounted for c. 18% of revenue in H1 2025.

Improvement in total net debt leverage and double-digit EPS growth

Total net debt including hybrid funding declined to €886m compared to €927m at June 2024 and €894m at December 2024. The leverage ratio improved from 2.9x at June 2024 to 2.8x at June 2025, largely reflecting lower hybrid funding.

Free cash flow

in € million

ARYZTA generated free cash flow of €29.4m. This is below the prior period to June 2024, affected by the strong working capital performance at the end of 2024. Nevertheless, ARYZTA continued to improve its sequential trade working capital efficiency to 0.2% of revenue versus 0.7% at December 2024 and 1.3% at June 20241 .

5 Earnings per share

In May 2025, ARYZTA AG carried out a reverse share split at a ratio of 1 for 40. In order to implement the reverse share split, the ordinary capital was increased by CHF 0.66 from CHF 19,862,114.54 to CHF 19,862,115.20 at the exclusion of subscription rights. As a result of the reverse share split, 40 old registered shares with a nominal value of CHF 0.02 each (each a Pre-Consolidation Share) merged into one new registered share with a nominal value of CHF 0.80 (each a Post-Consolidation Share).

During the period ended 30 June 2025, there were no trading balances owing to or owing from the Group from related parties (31 December 2024: Nil) and there were no transactions for provision of services rendered or received during the period ended 30 June 2025 (period ended 30 June 2024: Nil).

13 Estimates, risks and uncertainties

The preparation of interim financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expense.

In preparing these condensed consolidated interim financial statements, the significant judgements made by management in applying the Group's accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were consistent with those risks outlined on pages 221 and 222 of the ARYZTA AG 2024 Annual Report and Accounts.

During the period ended 30 June 2025:

– The Directors' analysis of whether use of the going concern basis is appropriate covers at least 12 months from the date of the financial statements, and is based on management's estimates and judgements, in particular in relation to the projected financial performance and liquidity of the business;

– Judgements related to the assessment of goodwill and intangible assets have remained materially consistent with 31 December 2024;

– Judgements associated with determining the terms of leases where there are extension or termination options, and estimates around determination of incremental borrowing rates on lease liabilities have remained materially consistent with 31 December 2024;

– Estimates associated with employee benefit schemes have remained materially consistent with 31 December 2024; and

– Estimates associated with the provision for income tax and deferred income tax, and judgements around uncertain tax positions have remained materially consistent with 31 December 2024.

The Board and senior management have invested significant time and resources in identifying specific risks across the Group, and in developing a culture of balanced risk minimisation. The Board considers the risks and uncertainties disclosed on pages 91-92 of the ARYZTA AG 2024 Annual Report and Accounts to continue to reflect the principal risks and uncertainties of the Group over the remaining six months of the financial year.

ALTERNATIVE PERFORMANCE MEASURES for the period ended 30 June 2025
