AEROPORTO GUGLIELMO MARCONI DI BOLOGNA S.p.A.: The Board of Directors approves the 2025 First Half Report and convenes the Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting for the integration of the Board of Statutory Auditors through the appointment of a substitute auditor.
Passenger traffic and economic-financial indicators also grow in the first half of 2025:
Bologna, 8 th September 2025 – The Board of Directors of Aeroporto Guglielmo Marconi di Bologna S.p.A., chaired by Enrico Postacchini, has approved today the Group results for 2025 H1. The Board of Directors also approved the Report on the items on the agenda of the Shareholders' Meeting, which will be convened on October 27 at the Company's headquarters, for the integration of the Board of Statutory Auditors through the appointment of an alternate auditor.
"The first half of 2025 shows significant results both in terms of volumes and economic-financial performance, confirming the image of an airport in constant development, able to handle high traffic flows during a phase of major investment projects,"- said Nazareno Ventola, Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director of Aeroporto Guglielmo Marconi di Bologna - "The transition to coordinated airport status and the completion of several projects have led to a tangible improvement in service levels, allowing us to reap the benefits of the many investments already made and currently underway. These include cutting-edge services, among the most advanced in Italy and Europe, such as the possibility for passengers to carry liquids over 100 ml in their hand luggage thanks to next-generation X-ray scanners. In addition, we inaugurated the first section of the new multi-storey car park, which now provides 1,000 parking spaces, while other projects are close to completion: our development plan is proceeding according to schedule."
A total of 5,302,379 passengers passed through Bologna Airport in the first six months of 2025, marking a 5.1% increase compared to the previous year. This growth was mainly driven by the significant traffic increase recorded in the first quarter, followed by a second quarter broadly in line with 2024 figures.
Aircraft movements amounted to 41,009 (+3.3% vs. 2024) and the average load factor improved, reaching 83.6% in the first half of 2025 compared to 82.5% in the first half of 2024.

The breakdown of traffic in the first half remained substantially unchanged compared to 2024: international traffic maintained its share of the total passenger volume (75.6% vs. 24.3% domestic traffic) but grew at a faster pace than domestic traffic (+5.7% vs. +3.4%).
Air cargo volumes stood at 26,947 tonnes, with a 4.3% decrease.
In the first half of the year, the airport recorded consolidated revenues of €84.7 million, up 10.8% compared to the same period in 2024 (adjusted revenues +4.1%).
Aviation revenues amounted to €35.9 million, up 4.2% compared to 2024, driven by the positive trend in traffic and tariffs, partially offset by the increase in passenger incentives.
Non-aeronautical services recorded a more modest growth of 2.4%, reaching €27.4 million, mainly driven by the strong performance of the Retail business, particularly in the food & beverage and Duty-Free segments. Conversely, the renovation works on the Business Lounge reduced revenues from premium services. Construction service revenues, on the other hand, showed strong growth of 39.1% (amounting to €20.4 million), due to the higher level of investments carried out.
Costs for the period amounted to €59.3 million, up 15.4% compared to the same period in 2024, mainly due to higher construction service costs (+39.1%) linked to increased investments. Adjusted costs for this component rose by 6.6%, primarily reflecting higher service and personnel costs.
The Gross Operating Margin (EBITDA) for the first half of the year amounted to €25.4 million, up 1.5% compared to €25.1 million in 2024.
Structural costs relating to "depreciation and amortisation" amounted to €6.6 million, up 10.7% compared to €6 million in the previous year, in line with the progress of the Group's investment plan.
The Operating Result (EBIT) was essentially in line with 2024, at €16 million versus €16.1 million.
The net result for the half-year, entirely attributable to the Group, showed a 6.9% increase, reaching €11.5 million compared to €10.8 million as of June 30th, 2024.
The Group's Net Financial Position as of June 30th, 2025, was negative by €17.2 million, compared to a positive Net Financial Position of €5.4 million as of December 31st, 2024.
With regard to liquidity, compared to the situation at December 31st, 2024, the negative change of €18.3 million was mainly due to: positive operating cash flow, net of changes in Net Working Capital, of €14.6 million; negative cash flow from investing activities of €21.2 million; positive cash flow from financing activities of €5.5 million; and the payment of dividends amounting to €17 million compared to €9.5 million distributed in 2024.

The Group's consolidated shareholders' equity amounted to €215.4 million, compared to €220.9 million as of December 31st, 2024, decreasing as a result of the dividend distribution from 2024 earnings.
The total investments made by the Group as of June 30th, 2025, amounted to €22 million, of which €15.2 million related to infrastructure investments and €6.8 million to airport operations.
Among the various projects, work was completed to provide the inbound extra-Schengen passport control area with an additional queuing space of approximately 400 sqm, as well as the expansion of the security control area with the installation of 8 new, faster and more efficient X-ray machines.
Finally, among the infrastructure improvement works that came into operation after the close of the semester, the new P6 multi-storey car park was inaugurated in mid-July, offering over 1,000 parking spaces for customers. Once completed, the facility will provide a total of 2,218 spaces.
In July and August, Bologna Airport exceeded over one million passengers each month, 1,103,012 in July and 1,108,983 in August, marking a decrease of 1.1% and 0.9% respectively compared to the same months in 2024. This result is largely attributable to the airport's "coordinated" status in the context of ongoing construction works during the Summer 2025 season.
From January to August, total passenger traffic at Bologna Airport amounted to 7,508,516, an increase of 3.2% compared to the same period in 2024. Aircraft movements reached 53,167, up 1.5% year-on-year. Air cargo volumes for the first eight months of 2025 stood at 29,000 tonnes, down by 3.3% compared to the same period in 2024.
In 2024, air traffic reached and surpassed 2019 levels, marking a turning point after the pandemic. According to ACI World, growth is expected to continue in 2025 with an estimated increase of around 4.8%. After a phase of strong recovery, experts forecast that future expansion will be more stable and moderate, although set against a backdrop of economic uncertainties and geopolitical tensions, further complicated by the introduction of U.S. tariffs in the first half of 2025. At the same time, emerging countries are ramping up infrastructure investments and experiencing rising demand from the middle class, which remains a key driver of development.
Within this scenario, the aviation sector is focusing on financial sustainability, environmental responsibility, and operational efficiency. In Europe, forecasts by ACI Europe and Eurocontrol project passenger traffic growth of 3.6% in 2025 (+3.7% in aircraft movements), with growth expected to stabilize around 3.2% by 2028 (+2.2% in movements)1 .
The Group will continue to work on infrastructure development, as set out in the current Masterplan, with several projects in the terminal aimed at improving services and the passenger experience, while also addressing the challenges posed by the ongoing construction works. In the non-aviation business, the opening in July of the first section of the new P6 Smart multistorey car park marked a significant increase in capacity for passengers: more than 1,000

additional parking spaces, which will rise to 2,200 in total with the completion of the second section scheduled for the second half of 2026.
Furthermore, important commitments in the areas of innovation and sustainability continue, with concrete actions by the Group to mitigate the environmental impacts of airport activities, protect natural resources, improve the quality of life and well-being of the surrounding community, and provide safe and inclusive workplaces.
