The 30 June 2025 condensed consolidated interim Financial Statements have been prepared under the International Accounting Standards - IAS and International Financial Reporting Standards - IFRS issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and the interpretations of the IFRS Interpretations Committee (IFRSIC) and the Standing Interpretations Committee (SIC), recognised in the European Union under (EC) Regulation no. 1606/2002 and in force at the end of the period. All of the above standards and interpretations are referred to as "IAS/IFRS".
The 30 June 2025 condensed consolidated interim Financial Statements have been prepared under IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The scope of consolidation as of 30 June 2025 includes the Parent Company Fine Foods & Pharmaceuticals N.T.M. S.p.A., and the subsidiary Fine Cosmetics S.p.A. (formerly Euro Cosmetic S.p.A.), of which Fine Foods holds 100% of the capital.
On 14 July 2025, the Company announced that Euro Cosmetic S.p.A. had formally changed its registered name to Fine Cosmetics S.p.A.. For further details, please refer to the Events following the end of the financial year section.
Fine Foods & Pharmaceuticals N.T.M. S.p.A. (hereafter referred to as "Fine Foods" and/or the "Parent Company" and/or "Holding Company"), registered and domiciled in Bergamo, is a joint-stock company, with its registered office in Via Berlino 39, Verdellino - Zingonia (BG). The Company, listed on the Euronext STAR Milan segment of Borsa Italiana's Euronext Milan Market, is an Italian independent Contract Services Development & Manufacturing Organization (CSDMO), specialising in the contract development and manufacturing of products for the nutraceutical, pharmaceutical, and cosmetics industries, with a customer-centric, service-oriented philosophy.
Founded in 1984, Fine Foods proved to be a reliable and capable strategic partner for customers in the reference sectors. The company's organisation can provide successful design process and solid, long-term partnerships. The continuous search for excellence is part of the company's business model and includes research and development, innovation, process reliability, product quality, ESG, and sustainable management of the Group's supply chain.
Fine Foods is a benefit corporation which relies on certifications and ratings under international standards. These guarantee its sustainability commitment across the business.
Fine Foods develops and manufactures drugs, food supplements and other nutraceutical products and medical devices for pharmaceutical and nutraceutical companies. These products are in the form of powders, soluble, effervescent and chewable granules, filmed and effervescent tablets and hard gelatine capsules, and in various types of packaging: sachets, sticks, pillboxes, jars, blisters, tubes and strips. The fact Fine Foods operates in the pharmaceutical and nutraceutical sectors allows it to benefit from commercial synergies, knowledge and technologies developed in both markets.

The pharmaceutical production is carried out at the Company's 26,100 sqm Brembate plant. In the 2016-2020 period, €19 million worth of investments were made to expand this plant, increasing
the total walkable covered area to 14,200 sqm. During the 2023 financial year, work began on further expanding the site, which included constructing a new building of around 11,000 sqm for the production of solid oral pharmaceutical forms. The Brembate pharmaceutical plant has the authorisation to produce pharmaceuticals and European GMP certification, both issued by the Italian Medicines Agency (AIFA, Agenzia Italiana del Farmaco), and occupational and environmental safety approval.
The following images show the current Brembate plant.



The following image shows the plant under construction, adjacent to the current pharmaceutical workshop (updated July 2025).

The production of nutraceutical products is carried out at the Company's 45,600 sqm plant in Zingonia, Verdellino. In the 2016-2019 period, €19.7 million worth of investments were made to expand this plant. This expansion was completed in 2019. The Zingonia - Verdellino plant produces nutraceutical products under HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points) regulations and GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices) applicable to food supplements. The Company has obtained authorisation from the Italian Ministry of Health and is constantly monitored by the Local Health Authority (ATS). It holds appropriate certifications for environmental, food and worker safety and to produce medical devices. It successfully passed an inspection by the US Food Drug Administration in 2017. The Zingonia - Verdellino plant has a Company owned total covered surface area of 28,800 sqm, including a recent expansion of 12,900 sqm of covered surface area resulting in an 80 per cent increase on the pre-existing surface area.
The images below show the Zingonia plant from above.


Fine Foods N.T.M. S.p.A. holds the following certifications:
Verdellino-Zingonia plant:
Please note that Fine Foods N.T.M. S.p.A. adopts an Organisation, Management and Control System under Legislative Decree 231/2001 "regulating the administrative responsibility of legal persons, companies and associations, including those without legal status", which introduced into the Italian regulatory system the concept of administrative liability for legal persons resulting from the commission of a criminal offence. Supervising the operation and compliance with the rules and principles in this system is entrusted to a Supervisory Body with independent initiative and control powers. In 2021 it became necessary to update the system following the new tax offences referred to in Article 25 quinquiesdecies and smuggling referred to in Article 25 sexiesdecies in Legislative Decree no. 231/2001. This updating included risk control for the offences referred to in the previous articles and a risk assessment review. On 14 November 2024, Fine Foods Board of Directors approved the revision of the Organisation, Management and Control System (OMC) to meet the new regulatory additions in the list of predicate offences of Legislative Decree 231/2001, to strengthen the Company's compliance system. Under Legislative Decree no. 24/2023, in July 2023, Fine Foods N.T.M. S.p.A. committed to respecting and guaranteeing the anonymity of those who report violations or offences identified within the company by managing the above reports using an external channel: The Teseo Whistleblowing ERM Platform.
The subsidiary Fine Cosmetics S.p.A. is a CSDMO specialising in research and development, production and sales of cosmetics. Since October 2021, Fine Cosmetics has been part of Fine Foods & Pharmaceuticals N.T.M. S.p.A. Group, driving growth and innovation while ensuring increased production capacity, enhanced cross-functional expertise, and a broader range of solutions.
The facility's surface area, along with its mixing plants, packaging lines, and laboratories, has expanded, reaching its current configuration: a modern plant spanning approximately 20,000 sqm. The Customer portfolio consists of prestigious cosmetics and pharmaceutical companies, operating in the GD (large-scale retail), GDO (organised large-scale retail) and Discount sectors and specialised channels such as national and international pharmacies and single- and multi-brand perfumeries.

The following image shows some of the Group's products (Nutra, Pharma and Cosmetics Business Units):

Fine Foods Group does not have trademarks or hold any product patent rights. These remain the customer's property. The Group has relationships with more than 130 highly loyal customers, including major Italian and multinational pharmaceutical, nutraceutical and cosmetics companies including Alfasigma, Alkaloid, Angelini, Aurobindo, Bolton, Chiesi, Colgate, Cura Cosmetics Group, Davines, DOC, Dompè, Dr Max, EG-Stada, Equilibra, Farmaceutici Dott.

Fine Foods is one of the players in the European nutraceutical market and is focused on contract manufacturing of food supplements. The nutraceutical market is the Group's primary target market, and where 55.5% revenue from customer contracts was recorded as of 30 June 2025. Within this market, the Group's target segment is the dietary supplements segment in Europe. The segment's expected value is estimated to grow from €19.3 billion in 2024 to €23.6 billion in 2028, with a CAGR '24-'28 of 5.2%. As of 30 June 2025, revenue from customer contracts generated by the Group's Nutra Business Unit was €71.4 million, slightly down from €72.1 as of 30 June 2025.
The Pharmaceutical market is the Group's second reference market, where 32.3% of revenue from customer contracts was recorded in H1 2025. As of 30 June 2025, the Company recorded revenue of €41.6 in the Pharma Business Unit, with an increase from €37.1 at the end of the same period in 2024 (+12.1%).
Forecasts for European pharmaceutical production show growth from €682.8 billion in 2024 to €815.0 billion in 2028, reflecting a CAGR '24-'28 of 4.5% over the period. The pharmaceutical market was stable with customers loyal to their suppliers. Expected growth can be seen in the development of CDMOs that produce medicines for pharmaceutical companies (i.e. Fine Foods). The expected demand for pharmaceutical products is steadily growing due to the increase in the average age of the world's population and the rise in health standards adopted, especially in developed countries.
The Group's third reference market is where the subsidiary Fine Cosmetics operates, where 12.2% of revenues from contracts with customers in H1 2025 were recorded, amounting to €15.7 million.
These figures aggregate the values of the following categories: "Cosmetics" refers to the aggregation of Euromonitor's "Bath and Shower", "Deodorants", "Hair Care" and "Skin Care" categories. "Biocides" refers to the aggregation of the Euromonitor's "Oral Care", "Dermatologicals", "Surface Care" and "Adult Mouth Care" categories.
The diagram below shows the European trend and forecast for this market, in terms of value. A CAGR '24-'28 of 5.3% was recorded for the relevant period.

The above analysis showed that Fine Foods is outperforming the market and its competitors. The reference markets showed high and steady growth and resilience during recessions. Despite this, Fine Foods has significantly outperformed its reference end markets over the past decade, with sales in 2024 at 2.6 times the level achieved in 2014.

On 19 May 2025, the Group unveiled its new logo, which reflects Fine Foods' distinctive positioning across its three core market sectors - nutraceuticals, pharmaceuticals and cosmetics. It reinforces the synergies among its Business Units while encapsulating the company's forward-looking vision. The name Fine Foods, accompanied by the payoff "Health & Beauty CSDMO", clearly defines the Group's market focus (Health & Beauty). The inclusion of S for Services highlights its unique role within the CDMO sector, positioning the Group as a Contract Services Development & Manufacturing Organisation (CSDMO), which redefines the traditional CDMO model by providing end-to-end support throughout the product life cycle.
On 19 June 2025, Intesa Sanpaolo and Fine Foods & Pharmaceuticals N.T.M. S.p.A. announced the completion of a €30 million loan to support the expansion of the pharmaceutical production facility in Brembate (Bergamo), which started at the end of 2023. This financing complements the resources already available to Fine Foods to support the strong growth of its Pharma Business Unit.
During the first half of 2025, the global economic environment remained complex, and was characterised by ongoing macroeconomic and geopolitical uncertainties. While some central banks initiated a cautious loosening of monetary policy, inflation continued to exceed target levels across several advanced economies, weighing on consumer sentiment and investment momentum.
According to estimates by the International Monetary Fund, global growth for 2025 is projected to remain stable at approximately 3.2%, consistent with 2024 levels. In the United States, economic performance has remained relatively robust, with growth forecast at 2.4%, underpinned by moderating inflation and a gradual recovery in consumer spending. Conversely, the Eurozone has continued to experience slow growth (+0.9%), impacted by subdued domestic demand and persistently tight financial conditions.
Among emerging markets, performance has been mixed. In China, government stimulus measures have supported economic activity despite structural weaknesses in the real estate sector and continued low consumer confidence. China's GDP is expected to grow by around 4.5% in 2025. India remains one of the principal contributors to global economic expansion, with growth exceeding 6%, supported by strong macroeconomic fundamentals, resilient consumption, and increased public investment.
Against this backdrop, the Italian economy has demonstrated moderate resilience, with GDP growth forecast at approximately 0.8% for 2025, broadly in line with the wider EU average. Growth is primarily being driven by exports and the ongoing implementation of initiatives under the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR). However, weak domestic demand, declining industrial output, and elevated interest rates continue to pose challenges.
| Economic indicators for the year (In thousands of Euro) | 30/06/2025 | 30/06/2024 |
|---|---|---|
| Revenue | 128,730 | 122,834 |
| EBITDA | 20,299 | 16,009 |
| EBIT | 12,503 | 8,279 |
| Net profit (loss) for the period | 8,755 | 4,469 |
As outlined in the table above, the Group recorded a positive performance across all key indicators during the first half of 2025, when compared with the same period in 2024.
Revenue increased by 4.8%, from €122.8 million as of 30 June 2024 to €128.7 million as at 30 June 2025.
EBITDA grew by 27% from €16 million as of 30 June 2024 to €20.3 million as of 30 June 2025. EBITDA Margin was 15.8% from 13% in H1 2024.
EBIT was €12.5 million up 51% compared to 30 June 2024.
The Group closed the period with a net profit of approximately €8.8 million (€4.5 million as of 30 June 2024).
Parent Company Fine Foods' revenue as of 30 June 2025 was €113.1 million, compared to €109.3 million in the first half of 2024, and recorded an increase of 3.4%.
The Pharma Business Unit continued its growth, bringing turnover to €41.6 million with an increase of 12.1% in the first half of 2025, while the Nutra Business Unit, whose revenue in the first half of 2025 was €71.4 million compared to €72.2 million in the same period of the previous year, closed with a result of substantial break-even.
The Holding Company's EBITDA grew by more than 15% and was €19 million (€16.5 million in H1 2024). The Group's enhanced profitability reflects the ongoing efficiency programmes which have contributed to improving operating efficiency and reinforcing its competitive position.
EBITDA Margin as of 30 June 2025 was 16.8%, up from 15.1% in H1 2024.
The Parent Company closed with a net profit of €9.2 million as of 30 June 2025.
Fine Cosmetics' revenue for H1 2025 was €15.7 million, showing an excellent growth trend of 15.7% compared to €13.5 million as of 30 June 2024. The Company's EBITDA of €1.3 million and positive EBIT for the period were the result of the BU reorganisation process and the actions taken to strengthen the organisational and commercial structure.
In its July 2025 update of the "World Economic Outlook", the International Monetary Fund (IMF) confirmed a global growth forecast for the current year of 3.2%, in line with the estimate made at the beginning of the year. Although inflationary pressures are gradually easing in some advanced economies, the trajectory of disinflation remains uncertain and monetary policy remains cautious. Against this backdrop, interest rates are likely to remain high for longer than initially expected, possibly affecting demand and access to credit by businesses.
For the Euro area, the IMF forecasts moderate growth (+0.9%), mainly supported by the services sector, which held up well in the first months of the year. However, signs of weakness in the manufacturing industry persist, accompanied by a slowdown in private investment. Uncertainty related to geopolitical tensions and international balances continues to be a potential risk factor for global economic and trade stability.
The Group operates in market sectors expected to grow in Europe and globally in the coming years, although the nutraceutical segment dedicated to weight management is undergoing repositioning. The strong trend of major industry players outsourcing nutraceutical, pharmaceutical, and cosmetics production to subcontractors was confirmed. Fine Foods & Pharmaceuticals N.T.M. S.p.A. aims to strengthen its competitive position by expanding its market share across its three core business units—Nutra, Pharma, and Cosmetics—enhancing their synergies. The Group's approach will be increasingly customer-oriented, with an evolved and integrated service model that provides long-term strategic support and distinctive and unrivalled expertise along the entire value chain in the Health & Beauty sectors. The Group keeps monitoring opportunities for external growth to enhance diversification in pharmaceutical forms and packing solutions.
The Nutra BU will continue its growth by focusing on quality, innovation and development of high value-added services to support customers. The planned production capacity expansion, initiated in 2024 with the purchase of land, was confirmed, with initial investments scheduled for 2025 to extend the production facility. The Nutra BU remains committed to delivering innovative services that enhance customer competitiveness, while pursuing diversification across its customer base and product range.
In 2025, the fast-growing and accelerating Pharma BU will continue to focus on managing the anticipated strong growth from significant multi-year agreements signed with key international customers. The expansion of the production facility, launched in late 2023, has been nearly completed. The AIFA inspection of the plant was carried out. The Group confirms that revenue generation will start in 2026.
Following a phase of integration, reorganisation, and optimisation, supported by targeted investments and the strengthening of management with sector experience, the Cosmetics BU is beginning to show positive signs. Renaming Euro Cosmetic to Fine Cosmetics preserves the company's historical value, while accelerating the Cosmetics BU's strategic evolution, supporting innovation and fostering strategic partnerships in the international Beauty and Personal Care industry. A gradual improvement in revenue and profit margins is expected in 2025, contributing positively to the Group's overall performance.
While acknowledging that the Group's turnover growth may not follow a strictly linear pattern from quarter to quarter due to the nature of the business, the strong order backlog for the current year and existing multi-year agreements support the expectation of sustained profit growth, backed by an increasingly strong and reliable organisational structure.
The Group, which obtained its EcoVadis Platinum rating for the third consecutive year in 2024, will continue its commitment to sustainability, strengthening its role as a reference partner for its customers, and provide solutions that are increasingly aligned with the growing ESG market expectations.

Trade Net Working Capital of €47.4 million shows an increase of €14.6 million compared to the balance as of 31 December 2024, largely generated by the increase in Trade Receivables; the latter increase mainly due to the different monthly distribution of turnover within Q2 2025 compared to Q4 2024.

The following non-recurring expenses were incurred in 2025, impacting EBITDA:
Adjusted EBIT was €13.8 million compared to €8.3 million as of 30 June 2024. The Adjusted net result was €9.7 million (compared to €4.5 million in H1 2024).
To facilitate an understanding of Fine Foods' financial and economic performance, the directors have identified in the previous paragraphs several Alternative Performance Indicators ("APIs"). These indicators are the tools that assist the directors in identifying operating trends and making investments, resource allocations and other operating decisions.
For a correct interpretation of these APIs, the following should be noted:
The APIs below were selected and presented in the Report on Operations because the Group believes that:
These indicators are commonly used by analysts and investors in the sector to which the Company belongs to evaluate the Company's performance.
The following paragraph illustrates the main risks to which the Group is exposed and the directors' mitigating actions.
The Group monitors the liquidity shortage risk using a liquidity planning tool. The Group's objective is to maintain a balance between continuity in the availability of funds and flexibility of use with tools such as credit lines and loans, mortgages and bonds. The Group's policy is to ensure that total loans due within the next 12 months remain below the 60% threshold. As of 30 June 2025, 18.1% of the Group's debt is due in less than one year (2024: 34.3%), calculated based on the book value of debts in the Consolidated Financial Statements.
The Group checked that access to funding sources is sufficiently available, and debts due within 12 months can be extended or refinanced with existing credit institutions.
The Parent Company is in advanced negotiations with several major banks to secure a new loan to support ongoing investments. These banks have expressed their approval.
The table below summarises the Group's due date profile of financial liabilities based on undiscounted contractually agreed payments.

Interest rate risk is a function of interest rate trends and the company's related positions, identifiable in bond investments and debt transactions. The risk is the increase in financial charges associated with rising interest rates.
This risk may be indicated differently depending on the valuation parameter.
• Cash Flow Risk: this is related to the possibility of realising losses connected to a reduction in expected receipts or an increase in expected costs. It is linked to items with payment profiles indexed to market rates. As these rates change, the company's position will change (variable rate financing)
• Fair Value Risk: this is linked to the possibility of losses related to an unexpected change in the value of an asset or liability following a sudden change in rates.
This is the risk that a customer or a financial instrument counterparty causes a financial loss by failing to fulfil an obligation; for the Group, the risk is mainly related to the failure to collect trade receivables. Fine Foods' main counterparties are major companies active in the nutraceutical and pharmaceutical sectors. The Group carefully evaluates its customers' credit standing, considering that, due to its business's nature, the relationships with its customers are long-term.
The price risk is mitigated using a solid cost accounting procedure that can identify the production cost. In this way, remunerative and competitive prices are established and adopted with the customer.
The risk of changes in cash flows is not considered significant in view of the Group's balance sheet. It is considered that the risks to which the business activity is exposed are not higher than those physiologically connected to the overall business risk.
The Group companies are subject to the taxation system under applicable Italian tax laws. Unfavourable changes to this legislation, and any Italian tax authorities or Law orientation related to the application, interpretation of tax regulations to determine the tax burden (Corporate Income Tax "IRES", Regional Tax on Production Activities "IRAP") and the Value Added Tax "VAT", could have significant negative effects on the companies economic, capital and financial situation.
The Group is exposed to the risk that the financial administration or law may adopt different interpretations or positions concerning tax and fiscal legislation from those adopted by Fine Foods Group in carrying out its business. Tax and fiscal legislation, and its interpretation, are complex elements due to the continuous legislation evolution and interpretation from administrative and jurisdictional bodies.
The Group will periodically undergo inspections to verify such regulations' correct application and the correct payment of taxes. Disputes with Italian or foreign tax authorities could involve the companies in lengthy proceedings, resulting in the payment of penalties or sanctions, with possible significant adverse effects on its business, economic, capital and financial situation.
Due to the complexity and continuous changes in tax and fiscal regulations and their interpretation, it is impossible to exclude that the financial administration or law may make interpretations, or take positions, that contrast with those adopted by the Group. This might result in negative consequences on its economic, capital and financial situation.
The Group is exposed to the risk of accidental events or malicious actions to IT systems (hardware, software, databases, etc.) that impact their reliability, with potential negative effects on the Group's economic, capital and financial situation.
The Group implements security procedures and policies to ensure proper IT systems management. It has perimeter and internal security equipment. Infrastructures are equipped with high reliability techniques for critical systems and are checked annually. The IT department periodically conducts simulated external attacks to assess the robustness of the security system. The Group has a disaster recovery plan to ensure the reliability of its IT systems. The Group's IT systems comply with the General Data Protection Regulation. The IT systems department is subject to internal audits, by Quality Assurance, and external audits, by certification bodies and
customers.
The Group has a significant concentration of revenue on its main customers, amounting to approximately 63.3% on the top five customers as of 31 December 2024. The loss of one or more of these relationships would have a significant impact on Group revenue. Contracts with the Group's main customers do not have minimum guaranteed quantities. If these relationships continue, there is no certainty that the amount of revenue generated by the Group in subsequent years will be similar to or greater than those recorded in previous years. The possible occurrence of such circumstances could have significant adverse effects on the Group's economic, capital and financial situation.
The Group mitigates this risk by building stable and long-lasting relationships with its customers and customer loyalty, through commercial activities for acquiring new customers and M&A for identifying and acquiring target companies.
The Group faces the risk of non-approval, by governmental or health authorities and institutions, of the individual production stages that characterise its activities, if it is found not to comply with the regulatory requirements applicable to plants and the production of pharmaceuticals and nutraceutical products, with potentially adverse effects on its economic, capital and financial position.
During the many audits conducted by customers and authorities, the Group has never received any reports of critical non-compliance. GMP compliance is ensured by applying strict quality procedures and periodic systemic internal audits.
In addition, the Group has a procedure for promptly handling any observations or deviations identified by the authorities.
The Group is exposed to the risk of accidental contamination of the environment in which its employees work, and possible injuries in the workplace. Any violations of environmental regulations, and the adoption of prevention and protection systems in the field of safety that are not appropriate to the Group's needs, could lead to the application of administrative sanctions, including significant monetary sanctions or an injunction, including suspensions or interruptions of production, with potentially adverse effects on the Group's economic, capital and financial position.
To address these risks, the Group has a robust system for managing worker health and safety standards and environmental protection of the areas where the Group operates. The Company has ISO45001:2018 (OH&S) and ISO14001:2015 (environment) certifications attesting to the proper system structuring and application and is subject to annual certified bodies' and internal audits.
Climate change can produce systemic effects that negatively affect financial activities.
Physical risks of climate change can be classified as "acute" if caused by extreme events such as droughts, floods, and storms, or "chronic" if caused by progressive changes like rising temperatures, sea-level rise, water stress, and resource depletion.
The Group faces potential operational disruptions due to extreme weather events that could damage critical infrastructure, plants, machinery, and facilities. These events may lead to increased repair and maintenance costs, and production delays or shutdowns, impacting business continuity, reputation, and profitability.
Extreme weather conditions, such as heavy rainfall and floods, could compromise the quality of water used in production processes, which will raise purification costs.
The Group is aware of potential climate change effects on infrastructure from extreme events and the possible rise in energy usage due to increasing temperatures and is assessing how to address these challenges through transition plans or business resilience analyses. The Group has insurance coverage for "catastrophic risks." The Group is continually updating its expertise and capabilities in handling "transition risks" also through its association with Farmindustria, to align its energy efficiency with international standards.
The Group implemented a dedicated team coordinated by an energy manager which implements measures to increase all Group sites' energy efficiency.
It carries out operations to reduce water consumption and an internal task force meets periodically to monitor improvements and the implemented measures effectiveness.
These risks are tied to the challenges and costs associated with moving to a more sustainable and less carbon-dependent economic model. This situation is driven, for example, by the implementation of climate protection Directives and Regulations, advancements in technology, and shifts in market confidence and consumer preferences.
The absence of investments to reduce climate impact by lowering energy consumption may have a negative effect on the Group's Income Statement due to increases in operating costs and exposure to energy price fluctuations and possible regulatory measures e.g. introducing carbon taxes.
Water scarcity for industrial purposes, particularly following extended periods of drought, can negatively affect production efficiency. Similarly, extreme weather events can disrupt the supply chain, causing partial or complete interruptions in the supply chain.

The Group implemented a dedicated team coordinated by an energy manager which implements measures to increase all Group sites' energy efficiency.
It carries out operations to reduce water consumption and an internal task force meets periodically to monitor improvements and the implemented measures effectiveness.
Energy costs remain high compared to historical prices, with high volatility. The supply of energy available for the European market and domestic energy stocks are the reasons why the estimated negative impacts on the Group's economic, financial and capital position, and the likelihood of their occurrence, may be gradually reduced.
The Group assembled a team coordinated by an energy manager to monitor the energy market trend to minimise the impact of energy costs and implement appropriate measures to increase production sites' energy efficiency. Fine Foods installed two co-generators for self-generation of electricity from gas combustion, which eliminated its exposure to the risk of electricity component fluctuations and optimised the efficient use of the heat developed through co-generation. There are photovoltaic systems at three plants with a total power of 850 kW covering part of the energy requirements (approx. 1% of the total energy demand). To manage the fluctuation of energy costs, part of them will be rebilled during 2025.
Exceeding pollution limits or mishandling dangerous chemicals that have long-term effects on human health or the environment (as listed in the REACH list and Annex VI of the CLP Regulation) can result in fines and operational restrictions and severely damage Fine Foods' reputation. The use of substances that hinder the recycling of safe, high-quality secondary materials or most harmful substances (as listed by ECHA) can expose the company to additional legal and reputational risks. This risk may arise from either direct impacts of business activities or regulatory requirements.
The Group has a robust system for managing worker health and safety standards and environmental protection of the areas where the Group operates. The Company has ISO45001:2018 (OH&S) and ISO14001:2015 (environment) certifications attesting to the proper system structuring and application and is subject to annual certified bodies' and internal audits.
The Company faces operational risks related to the scarcity of virgin raw materials, such as palm oil, coffee, and various natural extracts. These shortages can increase operational costs for Fine Foods due to competition for supply. As these commodities are subject to stricter regulations, their limited availability and rising costs may negatively impact the continuity of production and profitability.
Fine Foods can adjust its selling prices if there are raw material cost increases. The purchasing department informs the sales department of raw material price increases, the sales department assesses its impact on the pricing of products that include this raw material and shares it with the customer.
The Group maintains a stock-pile of continuously used raw materials which is sufficient to cover a sudden lack on the market.
Accidents involving employees could lead to operational disruptions and reputational damage, potentially slowing down company operations. If such incidents affect employee health and safety, the Company could face legal claims, compensation costs, and sanctions for non-compliance with regulations and organisation systems (OMC 231). An unsafe working environment could reduce the Company's appeal to potential investors and diminish employee motivation, leading to higher turnover rates.
To address these risks, the Group has a robust system for managing worker health and safety standards and environmental protection of the areas where the Group operates. The Company has ISO45001:2018 (OH&S) and ISO14001:2015 (environment) certifications attesting to the proper system structuring and application and is subject to annual certified bodies' and internal audits.
The growing demand in the labour market for certain technical and specialised profiles makes them highly attractive, which exposes the Company to the risk of turnover of highly qualified personnel, who are in short supply. Failure to implement the necessary policies to successfully manage human capital can have a negative impact on the Company's economic, capital and financial position. To address these risks, it is necessary to adopt new, more inclusive business models and policies to enhance and promote talent. The Company implemented human capital management policies and procedures designed to support employees throughout their lifecycle within the Company. This includes recruitment, onboarding, continuous training programmes, internal career development paths, worklife balance initiatives, workplace health promotion (WHP) measures, and the activation of various internal communication channels.
Fine Foods develops and manufactures contract products including food supplements, nutraceuticals, and pharmaceuticals, employing more than 650 staff under the National Collective Labour Agreement for the Food Industry. Workers in the production departments are required to clock in at turnstiles before proceeding to the changing rooms, where they change into company-issued attire such as trousers, tunics, caps, shoes, and, if necessary, beard covers. Once dressed, workers clock in again at the start of their shift and proceed to their workstations, with the same process being followed at the end of their work shift. Since the end of 2024, the Company has received claims, mainly from former employees, for salary adjustments relating to the time taken to change into and out of company-provided clothing in the changing rooms. Some of them request additional payment for salary differences for the time spent travelling between the external turnstiles and the changing room, and vice versa. The Company is defending itself in ongoing legal proceedings and is considering negotiating an agreed regulation with the trade unions. This would regulate the process of dressing for employees and offer a resolution for past claims. The Company allocated a special provision for the above risk as of 31 December 2024.
Considering the complex geopolitical situation and climatic risks that may jeopardise some harvests, the Group risks increased costs in 2025 for the purchase of raw and packaging materials necessary to carry out its business, and delays in production due to the more difficult availability of raw and packaging materials, with potential adverse effects on the Group's business, economic, capital and financial position. The Group's business is characterised, in certain cases, by a limited substitutability of suppliers, particularly in the pharmaceutical sector.
Fine Foods can adjust its selling prices if there are raw material cost increases. The purchasing department informs the sales department of raw material price increases, the sales department assesses its impact on the pricing of products that include this raw material and shares it with the customer.
The Group maintains a stock-pile of continuously used raw materials which is sufficient to cover a sudden lack on the market. Additionally, mitigating actions are included in the Business Continuity Plan.
If suppliers fail to comply with principles of diversity and equal opportunity—particularly in relation to wages, career advancement, and other employment practices—the Company could suffer a potential loss of consumer confidence and a decrease in sales.
The Group implemented procedures for supplier selection based on Environmental, Social, and Governance criteria (ESG), assessing their environmental, ethical and social performance, and compliance with health, safety, and human rights regulations. Suppliers are evaluated through audits, document analysis, and questionnaires based on their risk level.
The Group adopted a Supplier Code of Conduct, which must be signed when entering into commercial contracts,
and a monitoring system to ensure compliance with requirements. This system consists of four phases: 1) Annual risk assessment, by establishing three different risk matrices (chemical, packaging and service suppliers) to assign a criticality index to each supplier. 2) Planning and implementation of monitoring audits 3) Distribution of questionnaires to update requirements and data, monitoring ESG criteria. 4) Performance evaluation.
The Group faces reputational risk from potential human rights violations by suppliers within its value chains. If suppliers fail to protect the health and safety of their workers and fundamental human and labour rights, they could face increased legal claims and sanctions for regulatory non-compliance. Such incidents may disrupt supplier and Fine Foods operations, potentially forcing the Company to terminate relationships with non-compliant suppliers, with consequent operations slowdowns.

Violating safety conditions for workers along the value chain is a significant risk for the Group. If suppliers or subcontractors fail to implement appropriate safety measures, it can result in work accidents, operational disruptions, and legal sanctions for these entities. These events can lead to delays in delivery and increased procurement and project management costs for the Group. They may harm the Company's reputation and reduce stakeholder confidence, ultimately causing financial losses.

The Group faces significant risks related to user health and safety due to unsafe products. Distributing products that fail to meet safety standards could cause physical harm or damage to user health, exposing the Group to potential lawsuits, product recalls, and regulatory penalties. Such incidents can lead to substantial costs for compensation and legal fees, and operational disruptions. Negative public and stakeholder perceptions may severely harm the Company's reputation, diminishing customer and investor confidence, and negatively impacting the Group's revenues and market position.
The Group has a reliable quality system and several certifications which guarantee compliance with good manufacturing standards. All finished products and raw materials undergo thorough analysis to ensure they meet release specifications.
We provide the following company business non-financial indicators for a better understanding of the Company situation, operating trend and result:
The environmental objectives and policies, including the measures adopted and the improvements made to the business activity that had the greatest impact on the environment, can be summarised as follows:
In June 2024, the Parent Company underwent an audit for certification renewal under the UNI EN ISO 14001:2015 standard, which certifies the presence of a management system to prevent waste management, air and water environmental issues.
The next maintenance visit is planned for 14, 15 and 16 October 2025.
A management system illustrates how to intervene if harmful events occur.
During the financial year, there were no events that caused damage to the environment for which the Group companies were found guilty, nor were sanctions or penalties imposed for environmental crimes or damages.
To protect the environment, Group companies give all the types of waste that are generated by the Zingonia - Verdellino, Brembate and Trenzano sites to authorised third parties, which follow the provisions of current legislation.
Under Legislative Decree no. 81 of 09/04/2008 and Legislative Decree no. 106/09 and subsequent amendments, which contain reference standards for workplace health and safety, the Parent Company has drawn up the Risk Assessment Document (DVR - Documento di Valutazione dei Rischi) filed at its registered office and revised on 14 April 2025, version no. 21.
The Risk Assessment Document for the subsidiary Fine Cosmetics (Trenzano site) is filed at the company's registered office and was revised on 11 March 2025 in its fifth version.
In June 2024, the Parent Company underwent the annual audit for the ISO 45001:2018 certification renewal, the international standard for an occupational health and safety management system (as of 21 May 2014, Fine Foods was certified under OHSAS 18001, the reference standard before ISO 45001).
The next maintenance visit is planned for 30 and 31 October 2025.
During H1 2025, Fine Foods reported no accidents that led to absences exceeding 40 days at initial prognosis or involved serious injuries to registered employees, for which company liability was established.
During 2025, two occupational disease complaints were filed. One complaint was not recognised by INAIL and, as a result, the Parent Company was not found liable. The other complaint has not yet been answered.
Regarding the subsidiary Fine Cosmetics, an accident occurred in the first half of the year involving 20 days in first prognosis and exceeding 40 days prognosis on 30/06/2025. The injury case is still open. The event prompted action by the ATS ATS (Agency for Health Protection), which subsequently issued an inspection report requesting supporting documentation, which was complied with. We are awaiting further communication from the supervisory authority.
No occupational disease claims were filed.
To better understand the Group situation and management performance, some information relating to personnel management is provided.
Attention was paid to personnel's professional growth. In the first half of 2025, 3,163 training courses and seminars were held, for all levels, making 17,006 hours of training. These aimed at increasing technical skills and maintaining an adequate level of quality, safety, hygiene and environment skills.
| Plant | Number of courses | Total hours |
|---|---|---|
| Zingonia plant | 669 | 4,200 |
| Brembate | 2,424 | 11,659 |

During the year, the Company promptly implemented all the protections legally prescribed. It reserved an unconditional commitment to worker safety issues, whether or not the staff were employed, and the population surrounding its sites. The Company based its strategy on:
This process involved the following phases:
The Fine Foods Group is active in the contract manufacturing and development of oral solid forms for the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and cosmetics industries.
Research and development come from a structured cooperation with customers aimed at providing them with new formulations for their products, ensuring their effectiveness, quality and innovation.
The costs incurred for product research and development are not capitalised but are included in operating costs and charged to the income statement.
During 2025, the Parent Company distributed a dividend of € 0.14 per share to the holding company Eigenfin S.r.l. as per the shareholders' resolution approving the 2024 Financial Statements.
During 2023, Fine Foods granted its subsidiary Fine Cosmetics S.p.A. € 11 million in intercompany financing, disbursed in three instalments as follows:
The applicable interest rate is equal to the six-month EURIBOR, which is increased by a fixed spread. The first capital repayment instalment is scheduled for June 2026.
The Procedure for Transactions with Related Parties (last revision March 2022), under art. 2391-bis of the Italian Civil Code and art. 4 of the "Regulations for transactions with related parties" issued by Consob with resolution no. 17221 of 12 March 2010, is available on the Company's website (https://www.finefoods.it/).
During the first half of 2025, transactions between the Company and related parties identified under the provisions of international accounting standard IAS 24 included the remuneration of Directors, established under applicable regulations, based on assessments of mutual interest and economic benefit.
On 08 May 2025, the Parent Company's Board of Directors resolved to launch the treasury share buyback programme to implement and comply with the authorisation to buyback and dispose of treasury shares approved by the 17 April 2025 Shareholders' Meeting. The Programme will last 18 months after the 08 May 2025 authorising resolution date, unless there is an early interruption which will be legally reported to the Market. The arrangement in one or more issues of treasury shares is without time limits.
The table below summarises the situation regarding treasury shares as of 30/06/2025:
| Number | Fees Euro | |
|---|---|---|
| Initial balance | 1,077,669 | 14,139,356 |
| Purchased shares | 31,360 | 249,533 |
| Shares allocated free of charge | ||
| Shares sold | ||
| Shares cancelled due to excess capital | ||
| Shares cancelled to cover losses | ||
| Final balance | 1,109,029 | 14,388,889 |
As of 18 July 2025, Fine Foods & Pharmaceuticals N.T.M. S.p.A. holds a total of 1,140,706 treasury shares equal to 4.4628% of the share capital.
Under at. 2357-ter of the Civil Code, the buyback of treasury shares involved booking a "Negative reserve for treasury shares in portfolio" under liabilities in the consolidated interim Financial Statements. The number of treasury shares held by the company having recourse to the risk capital market does not exceed one-fifth of the share capital, as required by Article 2357 of the Civil Code.
During the year, the Company did not hold Parent Company shares or quotas.
The Group has not undertaken any financial risk management policies, as it is not considered relevant to the Company.
In early July 2025, the parent company Fine Foods secured a new unsecured loan of €20 million with Banca Nazionale del Lavoro, with a due date in 2030.
On 14 July 2025, the Company announced that Euro Cosmetic had officially changed its name to Fine Cosmetics: a name that shows a forward-looking approach while carrying forward its brand legacy and further enhancing the company's relationship with the Fine Foods Group. The name change is accompanied by the launch of a new logo which aligns with the Group's visual identity and core values.
Under EU Regulation 2016/679, General Data Protection Regulation ("GDPR"), the Company has implemented a corporate organisation system for the protection of personal data to comply with the EU regulatory framework, which strengthens Privacy and the individuals' data protection rights.

Fine Foods & Pharmaceuticals N.T.M. S.p.A. (hereafter referred to as "Fine Foods" and/or the "Parent Company" and/or "Holding Company"), registered and domiciled in Bergamo, is a joint-stock company, with its registered office in Via Berlino 39, Verdellino - Zingonia (BG). The Company, listed on the Euronext STAR Milan segment of Borsa Italiana's Euronext Milan Market, is an Italian independent Contract Services Development & Manufacturing Organization (CSDMO), specialising in the contract development and manufacturing of products for the nutraceutical, pharmaceutical, and cosmetics industries, with a customer-centric, service-oriented philosophy.
Founded in 1984, Fine Foods proved to be a reliable and capable strategic partner for customers in the reference sectors. The company's organization can provide successful design process and solid, long-term partnerships. The continuous search for excellence is part of the company's business model and includes research and development, innovation, process reliability, product quality, ESG, and sustainable management of the Group's supply chain. Fine Foods is a benefit corporation which relies on certifications and ratings under international standards. These guarantee its sustainability commitment across the business. Fine Foods is a growing and
future-oriented company.
The scope of consolidation as of 30 June 2025 includes the Parent Company Fine Foods & Pharmaceuticals N.T.M. S.p.A., and the subsidiary Fine Cosmetics S.p.A. (Formerly Euro Cosmetic S.p.A.).
The publication of the Fine Foods & Pharmaceuticals N.T.M. S.p.A. 30 June 2025 condensed consolidated interim Financial Statements was authorised by the Board of Directors on 05 August 2025.
On 19 May 2025, the Group unveiled its new logo, which reflects Fine Foods' distinctive positioning across its three core market sectors - nutraceuticals, pharmaceuticals and cosmetics. It reinforces the synergies among its Business Units while encapsulating the company's forward-looking vision. The name Fine Foods, accompanied by the payoff "Health & Beauty CSDMO", clearly defines the Group's market focus (Health & Beauty). The inclusion of S for Services highlights its unique role within the CDMO sector, positioning the Group as a Contract Services Development & Manufacturing Organisation (CSDMO), which redefines the traditional CDMO model by providing end-to-end support throughout the product life cycle.
On 19 June 2025, Intesa Sanpaolo and Fine Foods & Pharmaceuticals N.T.M. S.p.A. announced the completion of a €30 million loan to support the expansion of the pharmaceutical production facility in Brembate (Bergamo), which started at the end of 2023. This financing complements the resources already available to Fine Foods to support the strong growth of its Pharma Business Unit.
The 30 June 2025 condensed consolidated interim Financial Statements have been prepared under the International Accounting Standards - IAS and International Financial Reporting Standards - IFRS issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and the interpretations of the IFRS Interpretations Committee (IFRSIC) and the Standing Interpretations Committee (SIC), recognised in the European Union under (EC) Regulation no. 1606/2002 and in force at the end of the financial year. All of the above standards and interpretations are referred to as "IAS/IFRS".
The 30 June 2025 condensed consolidated interim Financial Statements have been prepared under IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The Group has prepared the condensed consolidated interim Financial Statements as a going concern. The directors consider there are no uncertainties that cast doubt on this assumption. They have assessed a reasonable expectation that the Group has adequate resources to continue as a going concern for the near future, not less than 12 months from the Financial Statements' date.
The condensed consolidated interim Financial Statements do not present all the information required to prepare the annual consolidated Financial Statements. For this reason, it is necessary to read the condensed consolidated interim Financial Statements together with the Financial Statements as of 31 December 2024.
The accounting standards and assessment criteria adopted to prepare the condensed consolidated interim Financial Statements are consistent with those used in the 31 December 2024 Financial Statements to which reference is made, except for the adoption of the new standards and amendments effective from 1 January 2025. A new amendment (Lack of Exchangeability – Amendments to IAS 21) is applicable for the first time in 2025, but it has no impact on the Group's interim consolidated financial statements.
The Group has not adopted any new standards, interpretations or amendments early, which have been issued but are not effective.
The condensed consolidated interim Financial Statements include the 30 June 2025 Financial Statements of Fine Foods & Pharmaceuticals N.T.M. S.p.A., the Parent Company, and financial statements of the companies over which Fine Foods has control under IFRS 10.
Control happens when the Group is exposed or entitled to variable returns, arising from its relationship with the investee while affecting those returns by exercising its power over it. The Group controls a subsidiary when:
There is a presumption that a majority of the voting power involves control. To support this presumption and when the Group holds less than a majority of the voting rights (or similar rights), the Group considers all relevant facts and circumstances to determine whether it controls the investee, including:
The Group reconsiders whether it has control of a subsidiary if facts and circumstances indicate that there have been changes in one or more of those three elements relevant to the definition of control. Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Group obtains control and ceases when the Group loses control. The assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses of the subsidiary acquired or disposed of during the period are included in the Consolidated Financial Statements from the date on which the Group obtains control until the date on which the Group no longer exercises control over the company.
Profit (loss) for the year and other Comprehensive Income Statement components are allocated to the shareholders of the Parent Company and non-controlling interests, even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a negative balance. When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to ensure conformity with the Group's accounting policies. Intragroup assets and liabilities, equity, revenue, expenses and cash flows relating to transactions between Group entities are cancelled on consolidation.
Changes in shareholding in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control are recorded in Shareholder's equity.
If the Group loses control of a subsidiary, it must cancel the related assets (including goodwill), liabilities, non-controlling interests and other components of Shareholder's equity, while any gain or loss is recorded in the Income Statement. Any retained shareholding shall be recorded at fair value.
Under Articles 38 and 39 of Legislative Decree 127/91 and Article 126 of Consob resolution no. 11971 of 14 May 1999, amended by resolution no. 12475 of 6 April 2000, details of the companies included in the consolidation area of Fine Foods & Pharmaceuticals N.T.M. S.p.A. as of 30 June 2025 (and 31 December 2024) are provided below.

The ultimate Parent Company of Fine Foods & Pharmaceuticals N.T.M. S.p.A. is Eigenfin S.r.l., an unlisted company based in Italy.
Assets and liabilities in the Group's Financial Statements are classified as current/non-current. An asset is current when:
All other assets are classified as non-current.
A liability is current when:
The liability contractual terms that could result in its settlement, at the option of the counterparty, through the issue of equity instruments do not affect its classification.
The Group classifies other liabilities as non-current.
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are classified as non-current assets and liabilities.
Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. The acquisition cost is determined as the sum of the consideration transferred, measured at fair value at the acquisition date, and the amount of the minority shareholding in the acquired Company. For each business combination, the Group determines whether to measure the minority shareholding in the acquired Company at fair value or in proportion to the minority shareholding's share of the acquired Company's identifiable net assets. The acquisition costs are charged in the period and classified as administrative expenses. The Group determines that it has acquired a business when the integrated set of assets includes at least one production factor and one material process that contribute significantly to the ability to generate an output. The acquired process is considered material if it is critical to the ability to continue to generate an output and the received production factors include an organised workforce that has the necessary skills, knowledge or experience to perform that process or contributes significantly to the ability to create an output. This is considered unique or scarce or cannot be replaced without high cost, effort or delay to the ability to create an output. When the Group acquires a business, it classifies or designates the financial assets acquired or liabilities assumed under contractual terms, financial conditions and other relevant terms valid at the acquisition date. This includes testing whether an embedded derivative should be separated from the primary contract. The acquirer records any contingent consideration at fair value at the acquisition date. Contingent consideration classified as an asset is not remeasured and its subsequent payment is accounted with a balancing entry under equity. The change in fair value of contingent consideration classified as an asset or liability shall be recorded in Income Statement as a financial instrument within the IFRS 9 "Financial Instruments" scope. Contingent consideration that is not within the scope of IFRS 9 is measured at fair value at the Financial Statements date and changes in fair value are recorded in the Income Statement. Goodwill is initially recorded at cost represented by the excess of all consideration paid and the amount recorded for non-controlling interests over the net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed by the Group. If the fair value of the net assets acquired exceeds the amount paid, the Group reassesses whether it has correctly identified all assets acquired and liabilities assumed and reviews the procedures used to determine the amounts to be recorded at the acquisition date. If the reassessment still results in a fair value of the net assets acquired higher than the amount paid, the difference (gain) is recorded in the income statement. After the initial recording, goodwill is assessed at cost net of accumulated impairment losses. For impairment testing purposes, goodwill acquired in a business combination is allocated from the acquisition date to each Group cash-generating unit that is expected to benefit from the combination synergies, regardless of whether other assets or liabilities of the acquired entity are assigned to those units. If goodwill has been allocated to a cash-generating unit and the entity disposes of part of that unit's operations, any goodwill associated with it is carried over when determining the gain or loss on disposal. Goodwill associated with the discontinued operation is determined based on the relative values of the discontinued operation, and the portion of the cash-generating unit retained.
When performing what above, the directors use complex assumptions and estimates which are subject to their judgement. The main assumptions underlying this concern:
The Group measures financial instruments such as derivatives, and non-financial assets such as property investments, at fair value at each reporting date. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability at the valuation date during an ordinary transaction between market participants. A fair value measurement assumes that the transaction to sell the asset or to transfer the liability takes place:
or
The main or most advantageous market must be accessible to the Group.
The fair value of an asset or liability is measured by adopting the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, assuming that they are acting in their best economic interest.
A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset considers a market participant's ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset to its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant who would use it to its highest and best use.
The Group uses valuation techniques appropriate for the circumstances and for which there is sufficient available data to measure fair value, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of unobservable inputs.
All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the Financial Statements are categorised according to the fair value hierarchy, as described below:
The fair value measurement is classified entirely at the same level of the fair value hierarchy in which the input of the lowest level of the hierarchy used for the measurement is classified.
The Company's Financial Statements show financial assets and financial liabilities, and derivative instruments at fair value. For these items, the Company defines whether transfers have occurred between the hierarchy levels by reviewing the categorisation (based on the lowest level input, which is significant for the entire fair value measurement) at each reporting date.
At each Financial Statements date, the Group's management analyses changes in the value of assets and liabilities for which revaluation or restatement is required under the Company's accounting policies.
For this analysis, the most recent valuation's main inputs are verified, linking the information used in the valuation to contracts and other relevant documents.
Management compared each change in each asset and liability fair value with the relevant external sources to determine whether the change is reasonable.
For fair value disclosures, the Group defines the classes of assets and liabilities based on the asset or liability nature, characteristics and risks and the fair value hierarchy level outlined above. The following table sets out the fair value measurement hierarchy for the Company's assets and liabilities as of 30 June 2025 and 31 December 2024.

The Group's management has verified that the fair value of financial assets and liabilities approximates the book value.
For management and production purposes, the Group is organised into business units based on the products and services provided and has three operating sectors, which are described below:
The directors monitor the business units' results separately to make decisions on resource allocation and performance review. Sector performance is assessed based on the operating result. Financial management and income taxes of the Parent Company are managed at the Parent Company level and are not allocated to the operating sectors.

Please note that it is not necessary to reconcile the revenue and operating result reported in the Financial Statements with sector disclosure as there are no reconciling items.
As for the aggregation of revenues, the Group generates a significant part of its turnover from a limited number of customers, the first five customers, in the period ended 30 June 2025, cumulatively accounting for approximately 58.7% of the turnover, compared to 60.5% reported on 30/06/2024.
The breakdown of revenue by geographical area is shown in paragraph "2.1. Revenue from contracts with customers."
For Group's capital managing purposes, capital is the issued share capital, convertible preferred shares, the share premium reserve and other capital reserves attributable to the Parent Company's shareholders. The capital management primary objective is to maximise its value for shareholders. The Group manages the capital structure and makes adjustments based on economic conditions and financial covenant requirements. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may intervene on dividends paid to shareholders, repay the capital to shareholders or issue new shares. The Group controls capital using a gearing ratio, which is the ratio of net debt to total capital plus net debt. The Group's policy is to maintain this ratio below 40%.

Customer credit quality is assessed based on a generic sector assessment. Individual credit limits are established for all customers. Open trade receivables and assets arising from contracts are monitored regularly. An impairment analysis is performed on receivables at each financial statements date, using a matrix to measure expected losses.
The calculation is based on the receivable recovery probability and historical analysis of losses on receivables that have never been of a significant amount. The assessment considers the money time factor and information on past events available at the reporting date, current conditions and expected market scenarios.

On 25 February 2022, Intesa Sanpaolo and Fine Foods have signed a € 70 million financing deal to support growth and development projects. In 2023, Fine Foods made an early repayment of € 20 million in capital, coinciding with the closure of its securities portfolio.

As of 30 June 2025, the "Employee benefits" item was €2,191,583 compared to €2,143,626 as of 31 December 2024. This item refers exclusively to provisions set aside for severance indemnities.
| (Amounts in Euro units) | |

| Provision Use | (59,104) |
| Discounting interest current year | 31,381 |
| Service Cost | 108,254 |
| Actuarial profits and losses current year | (32,573) |
| Balance as of 30 June 2025 | 2,191,583 |
As required by the international accounting standard, IAS19, the valuation of the Severance indemnity fund follows the method of projecting the present value of the defined benefit obligation with the estimate of the benefits accrued by employees.
Following the changes introduced by Law no. 296 of 27 December 2006 ("2007 Budget Law") and subsequent implementing decrees and regulations, the severance indemnities accrued up to 31 December 2006 will continue to be held by the Company as a defined benefit plan (obligation for accrued benefits subject to actuarial valuation). Amounts accruing from 1 January 2007, due to the choices made by employees during the year, will be allocated to supplementary pension schemes or transferred by the Company to the treasury fund managed by INPS, from when the employee makes their choice, thus becoming defined contribution plans (no longer subject to actuarial valuation).
Defining the employee severance indemnity is the result of applying an actuarial model based on various demographic and economic assumptions.
The table below shows the financial technical bases used:
| 30 June 2025 | 31 December 2024 | |
|---|---|---|
| Fine Foods annual discount rate | 3.21% | 3.18% |
| Fine Cosmetics annual discount rate | 3.70% | 3.38% |
| Annual inflation rate | 2.00% | 2.00% |
| Severance indemnity increase annual rate | 3.00% | 3.00% |
| Fine Cosmetics salary increases | 1.00% | 1.00% |
The annual discount rate used to define the obligation present value was based on paragraph 83 of IAS 19, concerning market yields of primary companies' bonds at the financial year closing date.
As required by the accounting standard IAS19 "Employee benefits", the sensitivity analysis for each actuarial assumption at the yearend is shown below:
| Sensitivity analysis of the main valuation parameters | DBO as of 30 June 2025 | DBO as of 31 December 2024 |

Review report on the interim condensed consolidated financial statements

EY S.p.A. Viale Papa Giovanni XXIII, 48 24121 Bergamo
Tel: +39 035 3592111 ey.com
To the Shareholders of Fine Foods & Pharmaceuticals N.T.M. S.p.A.
We have reviewed the condensed consolidated interim financial statements, which comprise the interim consolidated statement of financial position, the interim consolidated income statement, the interim consolidated comprehensive income statement, the interim consolidated Shareholders' equity changes and interim consolidated cash flow statement and the related explanatory notes of Fine Foods & Pharmaceuticals N.T.M. S.p.A. and its subsidiary (the "Fine Foods Group") as of 30 June 2025. The Directors of Fine Foods & Pharmaceuticals N.T.M. S.p.A. are responsible for the preparation of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements in accordance with the International Accounting Standard applicable to the interim financial reporting (IAS 34) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board and adopted by the European Union. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on these interim condensed consolidated financial statements based on our review.
We conducted our review in accordance with the criteria recommended by Consob for the review of the half-yearly financial statements under Resolution no. 10867 of 31 July 1997. A review of condensed consolidated interim financial statements consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISA Italia) and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion on the condensed consolidated interim financial statements.
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the condensed consolidated interim financial statements of Fine Foods Group as of 30 June 2025 are not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the International Accounting Standard applicable to the interim financial reporting (IAS 34) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board and adopted by the European Union.
