this report, accompanying the Condensed Consolidated Half-Year Financial Statements of the Aeroporto Guglielmo Marconi di Bologna Group (hereinafter also the "Aeroporto Group" or "Aeroporto") for the six months ended June 30, 2025, in presenting the Group's performance indirectly analyses also the performance of the Parent Company, Aeroporto Guglielmo Marconi di Bologna Spa., the holder of the concession for the full management of Bologna Airport, i.e. Full Management Concession No. 98 of July 12, 2004 and subsequent Additional Deeds, approved by Decree of the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure and of the Economy and Finance of March 15, 2006, with a term of 40 years starting on December 28, 2004. Given the drastic drop in traffic at Italy's airports due to COVID-19, Article 102, Paragraph 1-bis of Decree-Law No. 34 of May 19 (Relaunch Decree), converted into Law No. 77 of July 17, 2020, extended the duration of airport concessions by two years in order to cushion the consequent economic blow. Given the direct applicability of the above law, Bologna Airport's concession is extended to December 2046.
The Group's structure at June 30, 2025 and a brief description of the type and businesses of its subsidiaries is presented below:

Airport business may be divided into aviation and non-aviation activities. Aviation activities primarily consist of managing, maintaining and developing airports, which also includes security checks and surveillance, as well as aviation services Handling S.r.l. (GH Bologna Spa with effect from April 1, 2017), following the contribution of a cargo and mail handling business unit based out of Bologna airport. The Parent Company acquired a 100% interest in FFM in 2009.
The amounts in the tables in this Directors' Report are in thousands of Euro, whereas those in the comments are in millions of Euro, unless otherwise indicated. The data is from internal Parent Company sources unless otherwise indicated.
for passengers, other users and airport operators and marketing activities to develop passenger and cargo traffic. Non-aviation activities primarily consist of developing airport real estate and commercial potential.
Aeroporto Guglielmo Marconi di Bologna S.p.A. 8
Based on the nature of operations, the Group manages the airport through the following Strategic Business Units (SBU's):
The Aviation SBU's main activities involve managing and developing airport infrastructure and in particular of:
Consideration for such services takes the form of airport charges of the following types paid by airlines, airport operators and passengers, which the managing company collects from the carriers and the airport operators:
The Aviation SBU's other major revenue sources are:
premises), calculated according to the duration of use, floor area and/or location and type of the premises used;
The Non-Aviation SBU's main activities relate to parking management, retail sub-concessions, advertising, services for passengers and real estate management.
Bologna airport's directly operated paid parking areas offer approximately 4,550 car parking spaces, located in three parking areas: the first close to the terminal, the second close to airport grounds and the third located at approx. 1.5 KM away. In addition to the above, the new P6 Smart multi-storey car park was opened in July, with the first block opening to the public, providing more than 1,000 additional parking spaces over 8 levels of approximately 3,300 square metres each. The new, convenient, sustainable and state-of-the-art facility significantly expands the airport's parking capacity.
Bologna airport's retail offerings include internationally recognised brands and iconic brands/labels with local ties, offering a unique and distinctive shopping experience. The shopping area extends over approximately 4,300 m² and includes 31 shops at the end of June. The Schengen boarding hall modernisation works are affecting a number of outlets in the area, for which progressive reopenings are scheduled during 2025.
Advertising is managed using digital and large-format back-lit displays located in areas of the terminal's interior and exterior where the advertisements are highly visible. Campaigns involving the personalisation of particular areas or furnishings located in the airport are sometimes conducted.
Passenger services include a business lounge operated directly by the Parent Company until the end of May 2025. The Marconi Business Lounge (MBL) is an exclusive, comfortable environment used mostly by business passengers travelling with the major legacy carriers. The "You First" service provides arriving and departing passengers with access to exclusive services such as check-in and baggage collection

assistance, porterage, gate assistance and priority boarding. In order to better respond to passenger demands and with a view to improving the quality of the service provided, AdB selected an operator with specific expertise in Hospitality management and premium services in 2024 through a Beauty Contest, reflecting market developments and taking the opportunity to refresh its business model. As a result, at the end of June 2025, the premises were handed over to the new operator, who began renovation work on the space.
Among the other services offered to passengers is car hire: 12 rental companies offer a total of 19 specialised brands, with a total of 492 vehicle spaces available for their fleets.
Real estate activity is divided into two general areas: subconcession revenues for aviation-related commercial activities, above all express couriers, and sub-concession revenues for handling services, which are subject to regulated tariffs.
The total commercial premises under sub-concession extend to over 100,000 square metres, of which over 75,000 square metres of offices, warehouses, technical service areas and hangars and approximately 30,000 square metres of outdoor space used for parking operating vehicles, manoeuvring in loading and loading areas and aircraft refuelling vehicle areas.
The first half of 2025 was again shaped by the continued political instability and ongoing conflicts. This environment is further complicated by the trade policy uncertainty following a sequence of announcements, suspensions and disputes, in addition to the unpredictability of the outcomes of the negotiations between the United States and its major trading partners. Global economic output therefore reflects: (i) a contraction in U.S. GDP for the first time in three years and a significant increase in imports, while (ii) Chinese output continues to be impacted by weak domestic demand and the real estate crisis. The OECD has therefore again revised its forecasts downwards: international trade is expected to slow to 2.8% (from 3.8% in 2024), against global GDP growth of 2.9% (from 3.3% in 2024). The eurozone economy within this environment however performed better than expected in Q1, driven by the bringing forward of exports to the United States ahead of the tariff increases. Output weakened from the second quarter following a decline in U.S. demand. The European economic outlook is particularly uncertain in view of the trade tensions and global instability, which has slowed domestic demand and affected experts' economic projections, with GDP expected to increase 0.9% in 2025, by 1.1% in 2026 and by 1.3% in 2027, assuming that the U.S. tariffs remain unchanged beyond the suspension period and that the European Union does not retaliate in terms of its trade policies. Italian GDP has also mirrored the European trend, rising slightly in the first three months of the year while awaiting the effects of the macroeconomic and geopolitical environment for Q2, with experts' estimates indicating slight growth. According to the Bank of Italy's projections, GDP will increase 0.6% in 2025, 0.8% in 2026 and 0.7% in 2027. Oil prices, which declined in the first half of the year, temporarily rose again with the outbreak of conflict between Israel and Iran to reach a daily high of USD 79 per barrel in June. This rebound leveled off and in the first four days of July oil prices were slightly under the averages for the month of March. Both the International Energy Agency (IEA) and private analysts expect supply to remain plentiful in the second half of 2025, even in light of the most recent production increases announced by the OPEC+ countries. Prices however remain volatile due to the instability in the Middle East and the global uncertainty. Based on futures contracts, the price of Brent crude at the end of the year would be approximately USD 66 per barrel. Since the beginning of April, the European natural gas reference price (Title Transfer Facility, TTF) has declined, albeit with marked fluctuations, to an average of approximately Euro 34 per megawatt-hour for the first four days of July. The temporary rises in May were driven by low inventory levels and also by higher Chinese demand following the suspension of the tariff raises between the United States and China. June was weighed down by the tensions in the Middle East, although to a limited extent due to Iran's lesser prominence in the natural gas market than in the oil market. Futures prices on the TTF market are approximately Euro 36 per megawatt-hour, highlighting expectations of substantial price stability (Source: Economic Bulletin, Bank of Italy, July 2025).
Against this backdrop, according to the IATA (International Air Transport Association), passenger traffic growth in H1 2025 was again contained (+5.1% on H1 2024), against a 4.8% increase in seat supply. This affected the global load factor, which was substantially in line with the previous year. International traffic led the growth (+7.0% on 2024), against domestic traffic which rose to a more contained extent (+2.0% on the first half of 2024). Global cargo traffic in H1 2025 was up on the same period of the previous year (+2.8%), while it should be noted that significant growth was also reported in H1 2024. Air cargo demand therefore continues to grow (although at a slower pace), despite the current uncertain macroeconomic conditions. Within this environment, cargo traffic in June was substantially stable against the same month in 2024 and was down on the

previous month, impacted by the bringing forward of purchases against the introduction of import duties by the U.S. administration (Source: IATA, Air Passenger and Air Freight Market Analysis, June 2025).
European passenger traffic in H1 2025 was up 4.5% on the previous year. Cargo traffic was stable on the first six months of the previous year (+0.6%), reflecting the general uncertainties regarding the current macroeconomic and geopolitical variables (Source: ACI Europe, June 2025).
Italian passenger traffic continued to grow strongly on the previous year (+6.2%), benefiting from the summer flights schedule and the seasonality of demand. Growth continues to be driven by international traffic (+8.3%), while domestic traffic however continues to grow (+2.1%) on the first half of the previous year (Source: Assaeroporti e Aeroporti 2030, June 2025).
With a greater focus on the geographic area which AdB serves through its domestic and international connectivity services for people and businesses ("catchment area"), we highlight the increased number of passengers in H1 2025 compared to the previous year (+6.4%), with significant differences among
The Group's strategic objectives which underlie the development of all operations are outlined below.
The Group seeks to maintain a varied range of flight offerings suited to various types of users by adding to the number of airlines operating out of the airport, while continuing to maintain good margins also on the new traffic generated. In terms of traffic development, the Group targets the adding of routes, with the introduction of new Eastern and long-haul destinations, while boosting frequencies to existing destinations. The Group also focuses on improving airport accessibility, through the development of ground connections and the expansion of its catchment area.
The investments outlined in the Master Plan and Regulatory Agreement are fundamental to the development of the Group's business. The strategy in question calls for an efficient use of the existing infrastructure's capacity and modular implementation of new investments to ensure that infrastructure capacity keeps pace with expected traffic development. The passenger terminal expansion project is a key part of the infrastructure development plan, permitting the development of - in particular - the boarding gates area, in addition to extending dedicated commercial space.
This project is complemented by targeted work to increase the capacity of some specific subsystems, such as security and passport controls.
airports. The month of June saw an improvement on the previous year, up 2.8% on 2024 (Source: Assaeroporti e Aeroporti 2030, June 2025).
Bologna Airport reports growth in H1 2025 over 2024 (+5.1%). This growth was driven by stronger international traffic over domestic traffic (+5.7% and +3.4% respectively), with substantial stability in terms of the overall volume share. In H1 2025, Bologna Airport ranked fourth in Italy by number of passengers and third by cargo volume transported (Source: Assaeroporti e Aeroporti 2030, June 2025).
The Group is focused on ensuring the constant improvement of the services offered to airport users in its fields of operation, both directly and indirectly, while also constantly improving its standards of security, quality and respect for the environment. In order to support and improve all aspects of operations and generate Customer loyalty, the Group considers it key to develop a culture of innovation which revolves around the installation of technology that facilitates greater interaction with passengers and optimises the airport travelling experience.
The Group is committed to all aspects of sustainability, ranging from those of an environmental nature to compliance with ethical and social principles, in view of the important role which Bologna airport plays as a vital hub for the region. The Group also strives to develop those who work at the Airport and build an organisation which responds to the evolving demands of the market and which supports the individual in their work.
The Group has furthermore identified two overarching guidelines to the strategic objectives identified above which are viewed as a touchpoint for company operations:
The Group is focused on consistently improving the financial performance and on ensuring an adequate return for shareholders.
The Group aims to improve the efficiency and efficacy of its processes and internal structure, with a view to improving
company performance and development, while paying increasing attention to sustainability in its environmental, social and governance components.

On June 30, 2025, the official share price was Euro 8.50 per




The share price in the first half of 2025 has shown signs of growth, despite the highly unstable macroeconomic and geopolitical environment. It has demonstrated resilience to both the macroeconomic and geopolitical shocks, with volatility declining also on the first quarter of the year, which was impacted by the cyclical stagnation. The uptrend over the last quarter was driven by the Group's strong performance.
The H1 2025 result benefited from the significant growth in Q1, which gradually settled in Q2 to levels similar to the previous year. Overall, passengers for the first six months of 2025 numbered 5,302,379, up 5.1% on the same period of 2024. Movements of 41,009 grew 3.3% on the same period of the previous year, with 26,947 tonnes of cargo handled, decreasing on 2024 (-4.3%). The average load factor also rose to 83.6% in H1 2025, compared to 82.5% in 2024.

The cargo segment was impacted by the significant macroeconomic and geopolitical uncertainty, against declining consumption and a stagnating economy, and affected by the difficulties from the introduction of tariffs on cargo transport. Against this backdrop, in H1 2025 global cargo traffic reported slight growth of 2.8% on 2024. The trading of goods was substantially stable also at European level in the first six months of the year (+2.1% - Source:
IATA, Air Passenger and Air Freight Market Analysis, June 2025).
The Group in H1 2025 reported cargo and mail traffic at Bologna of 26,947,218 KG, decreasing (-4.3%) on 2024, mainly due to a sharp decline in ground freight (-16.7%), which was mainly due to the above outlined uncertainty. Air cargo also contracted, although to a lesser extent, due to a slowdown across all components (courier, all cargo and combi).

The Aviation Strategic Business Unit's revenues consist of fees paid by users (airlines and passengers through the airlines) and airport operators for the use of the infrastructure and services provided on an exclusive basis by the Group for landing, take-off, lighting, aircraft parking and passenger and cargo operations, in addition to centralised infrastructure and exclusive-use premises.
Given the public utility aspect of airport services, airport charges are regulated by both national and EU legislation. The new regulations and implementation measures – including the models approved by the Transport Regulation Authority – require that changes to the system or amount of airport fees be made with the consent, on the one hand, of the airport manager, and of the airport's users on the other.
Revenues in the first half of 2025 contracted on the same period of 2024, mainly due to the reduced investments in Concession Rights.
Group revenues from the Aviation Strategic Business Unit were down 4.4% overall on 2024. The individual accounts broke down as follows:

| Total NON AVIATION SBU Revenues | 39,838 | 29,484 | 10,354 | 35.1% |
Total non-aviation business revenues increased by 35.1% in H1 2025 compared to 2024.
The individual areas of this business unit performed as follows.
Performance in this revenue category is mainly tied to traffic, based on the contract terms in effect for most Retail and some Advertising agreements. The growth in the period (+10.2%) mainly owed to the Retail business, thanks to the food & beverage and Duty Free segment performances, while other retail was in line with 2024. Advertising also contributed to the result, thanks to the increase in 2025 of the contractual MAG (guaranteed annual minimum) of the sub-concessionaire.
Although the parking and travel business is closely linked to traffic volumes, revenues in H1 2025 were in line with 2024 as not entirely reflecting the additional traffic as a result of the reduced availability of parking spaces, due to the works at several parking lots (in particular P2 Business and P3 Comfort). Revenues from the opening of the new P6 car park are not included in H1 as the first block was opened in mid-July.
Real Estate revenues remained substantially consistent with 2024.
Passenger services in the first half of 2025 declined 7.5% on 2024, due to the absence of premium service (lounge and accessory services) revenues from May 25, 2025 following the handover of the premises to the new operator to start the Business Lounge redevelopment project. Car hire revenues however grew. The performance of the individual businesses is described below.
The Business Lounge result in H1 2025 was significantly impacted by the start of the redevelopment project, with the consequent handover of the spaces to the new operator on May 25, 2025.
The results for the first half of the year reflect the increase in passenger traffic, in addition to the 1.1% ISTAT-based increase of sub-concession fees.
The significant increase of this component relates to investments in the non-aviation business unit over the same period of the previous year.
The increase in other revenues on 2024 (+27.8%) is mainly due to the greater accrual of operating grants for sustainability-initiative projects.

A consolidated profit of Euro 11.5 million is reported for the first half of 2025, compared to 10.8 million in the first half of 2024.
Operating revenues overall grew 10.8%.
Revenues break down as follows:
revenues from construction services increased (+39.1%) following the rolling out of increased investments in the non-aviation sector;
other operating revenues and proceeds: the growth on 2024 (+91.7%) entirely stemmed from the greater accrual of grants for funded projects than the same period of 2024.
Costs in the period overall increased 15.4% on the same period of 2024.
These break down as follows:
parking shuttle service and insurance, only partially offset by the reduced cost
for the de-icing service contribution and lower advertising, promotion and development costs;
Reference should be made to the personnel costs section of this report for further details.
EBITDA of Euro 25.4 million is reported for the first half of 2025, compared to Euro 25.1 million in 2024.
Looking to overheads, "depreciation, amortisation and impairments" amounted to Euro 6.6 million, compared to Euro 6 million in the first half of 2024: the growth of 10.7% is in line with the progress of the Group investment plan. Provisions slightly decreased on H1 2024 (-5.4%), from slightly under Euro 3 million to Euro 2.8 million, as a result of the increased accrual to the provision for the renewal of airport infrastructure, which was almost entirely offset by the reduced accruals to the provision for doubtful accounts and to the provisions for other risks and charges.
EBIT totalled Euro 16 million, substantially in line H1 2024 (Euro 16.1 million).
Net financial income amounted to Euro 0.1 million , improving on net expense of Euro 0.9 million in 2024, mainly due to the increase in the fair value of the Equity Financial Instrument in Marconi Express.
As a result of that outlined above, the Result before taxes for the period increased 6% on the comparative period to Euro 16.1 million (Euro 15.2 million for H1 2024), with income taxes also increasing, from Euro 4.4 million in 2024 to Euro 4.6 million (+3.7%).
Finally, the net profit for the period, entirely concerning the Group, grew 6.9% to Euro 11.5 million, compared to Euro 10.8 million in H1 2024.

| Cash and cash equivalents at end of period | 22,046 | 24,342 | (2,296) |
Cash flow generated by operating activities before working capital changes amounted to Euro 24.4 million (in line with the first half of 2024).
Working capital absorbed cash of Euro 9.8 million in the period, compared to Euro 11.6 million in H1 2024, due to:
the use of provisions of Euro 2 million, against Euro 1 million in the comparative period;
the increase in receivables for Euro 1.8 million, although significantly lower than the comparative period of Euro 8.9 million;
the increase in payables for Euro 5.7 million, compared to Euro 1.5 million in H1 2024.
As a result of that outlined above, cash flows from operating activities, net of working capital changes, generated Euro 14.6 million, compared to a cash generation of Euro 12.8 million in H1 2024 (+Euro 1.8 million).
The absorption of cash flows of Euro 22.1 million from investing activities - compared to Euro 16.9 million in 2024 - was mainly due to:
Financing activities absorbed cash of Euro 11.5 million (Euro 15.9 million in H1 2024), mainly due to:
As a result, the final overall change in cash for the period was a negative Euro 19 million (negative Euro 20 million in H1 2024).

Net invested capital at June 30, 2025 was Euro 232.6 million, increasing Euro 17.1 million on December 31, 2024, mainly due to the increase in investments, principally concerning concession rights - the fixed capital in fact increased Euro 17 million to Euro 312.8 million, compared to Euro 295.8 million at December 31, 2024.
In terms of sources, at June 30, 2025 a negative net financial position (net debt) of Euro 17.2 million is reported, compared to a positive (cash position) Euro 5.4 million at December 31, 2024, while consolidated and Group Shareholders' Equity amounted to Euro 215.4 million, compared to Euro 220.9 million at December 31, 2024, decreasing due to the dividends distributed on the 2024 profit.
In H1 2025, infrastructure development therefore continued with progress on key projects in the various airside, terminal and landside areas in line with the "2016-2030 Airport Development Plan" and the content of the "2022-2026 Plan for the functional and sustainable development of the terminal area". This is a programme instrument annexed to the 2023-2026 Regulatory Agreement (Contratto di Programma - "CDP") for short-term interventions.
For the remaining duration of the current Regulatory Agreement, the most physical critical system that limits airport capacity is the passenger terminal.
Terminal expansion and modernisation works are ongoing through progressive expansion works, including the upgrading
Total Group investments in H1 2025 amount to Euro 22 million1 . In particular, Euro 15.2 million concerned infrastructure investments, alongside Euro 6.8 million for investments in airport operations.
The progress of the main infrastructural works is highlighted below:

of security controls, and will continue throughout the remaining period of the current Regulatory Agreement.
Progressive infrastructure releases will ensure "lung" capacity to maintain service levels during the future Airport Expansion works, in line with the 2016-2030 Masterplan.
Also in order to support the gradual expansion works, making the traffic contingency operational, the operator requested the airport to be upgraded to "coordinated" level 3, which occurred on 22/03/2024 in accordance with Regulation (EEC) 95/93, as amended by Regulation (EC) 793/2004, as of the IATA "Winter 2024/2025" traffic season.
The main investments in airport operations, innovation, and to improve the service offered to passengers and increase the efficiency of company processes are listed below:
Actions focused on sustainability include:
environmental compensation: expropriation activities were completed for another 10 hectares in the areas earmarked for the creation of a

wooded strip along the northern perimeter of the airport site, in order to comply with the requirements of the EIA Decree Masterplan and the Regional Implementing Agreement for the Decarbonisation of the airport, compensating for the environmental impact of airport operations. Work to create the wooded strip continues;
new energy-efficient heat/cool system at the terminal is being built with the goal of reducing climate-changing emissions; new electric cars have been purchased to renew the company's vehicle fleet.
The total works for the renewal and maintenance cycle of the airport infrastructure and plant in H1 2025 amounted to Euro 773 thousand, of which Euro 640 thousand for various interventions on plant and Euro 133 thousand for landside interventions to maintain operations.

Personnel costs for H1 2025 increased by 7% on the same period of 2024, mainly due to the increase in the workforce outlined above. The renewal of the national collective bargaining agreement on June 4, 2025 had an insignificant impact on the first half of the year as it was almost completely offset by the release of the employee backdated provision as at December 31, 2024 in excess of the portion used for the 2023 and 2024 One-off payment.
In 2025, dialogue with trade unions continues on issues related to sustainability, with the support and mediation of the Municipality and the Metropolitan City of Bologna. Specifically, following the discussions held in 2024 and with the involvement of the airport's handling companies, AdB submitted to the trade unions a proposed Protocol on Sustainability (as an addendum to the Site Protocol previously signed by the parties). The protocol addresses significant issues relating to occupational safety, stabilisation of the handling services market, and support for sustainable mobility initiatives for airport operators.
Also in terms of occupational safety, AdB continues to participate in the Occupational Health and Safety Working Group, which involves trade unions, entities, institutions, and the main organisations in the area, particularly in the logistics sector. The Group's activities for 2025 focus on potential coordination between the employee health and safety representatives of the various companies present at large sites, such as the airport.
On February 7, the Employer Associations Assaeroporti, Aeroporti 2030, Assaereo, Assocontrol, Assohandlers, Fairo, Federcatering and the Trade Unions Filt-Cgil, Fit-Cisl, Uil Trasporti and Ugl Trasporto Aereo signed the General Part of the new National Collective Bargaining Agreements for Air Transport. These will take effect on January 1, 2025 for a duration of three years.
The shared objective of this renewal was to revitalise the airline industry in relation to the external labour market. Particular attention was paid to the issues of sustainability, welfare, training and the impact of digitalisation.
Specifically on welfare, a pathway has begun for the establishment of the sector health fund, updates have been made to agile working. Also introduced are solidarity leave, facilitation for university and specialised pathways, disability protection, safety-orientated staff training in the workplace, development of anti-discrimination policies, and protection of gender equality.
Finally, attention was paid to issues relating to assaults on airport workers, which is a growing issue at Italian airports.
Negotiations concluded on June 4 and the renewed Airport Operators Specific Part of the national collective bargaining agreements was also signed by Assaeroporti and Aeroporti 2030, representing employers, and FILT-CGIL, UILTrasporti and UGLTA for the unions.
The renewal covers a number of pay aspects, including an increase in the minimum pay scales (Euro 210 monthly per capita at the fourth level over the three-year period), an increase in the daily attendance allowance, also paid on vacations, an increase in the value of the health insurance policy (which at AdB is already higher than in the renewed agreements), an increase in the company's contribution to the "Prevaer" Fund, and the introduction of an additional seniority level.
Of particular note in the regulatory area are:
• the inclusion of new environmental and social sustainability parameters in the implementation guidelines for the Results Bonus;
• the definition of possible protocols to prevent the risk of aggression against staff (protocols that have been in place at AdB for some time and which are continuously being updated);
• doubling the period of paid leave of absence for women who are victims of gender-based violence;
• further initiatives on staff training and retraining, also in light of the impacts of technological innovation;
• the promotion of new flexible forms of work to promote work-life balance.
Finally on the regulatory level, important work has begun to update the professional system, with the intention of including all figures currently working in the airport management sector, aligning them with changes in the aviation industry and the Italian and international labour market.
In terms of management training, the project to support the new performance management system concluded.
In March, as part of a larger project on Artificial Intelligence called "AI Journey", the Group began a major training project funded with Fondimpresa to improve the awareness of and
boost the use of AI. This was attended by approximately 200 staff.
Parental support continues with coaching courses for new mothers returning to work, delivered by an in-house instructor.
A training seminar on gender harassment involving approx. 100 people was also held, followed by an e-learning training course for the entire AdB Group.
Cyber security courses also continue alongside two sessions on the new NIS2 Directive. This course seeks to create awareness of cyber risks and spread a sense of responsibility to maintain high levels of security.
The Parent Company acquired a 100% interest in FFM in 2009. The main activity of the subsidiary is cargo and mail handling at Bologna airport. In particular, FFM is the handling agent for cargo export and import operations of carriers moved through the airport via air and for surface cargo and manages the Temporary Customs Warehouse for Non-EU Cargo arriving at the airport. The company thereafter in subsequent years developed accessory services such as booking, operating as a regulated agent and has a specialist customs operations structure.
The company prepares its financial statements according to Italian GAAP. The key indicators for the period, adjusted where necessary entirely for the purposes of preparing these consolidated financial statements as per IAS/IFRS, are presented below.
At June 30, 2025, the company had 14 employees (15 at December 31, 2024) and, in continuity with previous years, assigned many staff activities to the parent under a management & staffing contract which covers the accounting, administrative, legal, supervision, personnel and ICT areas.
In H1 2025, FFM handled 9,741,069 KG of cargo, down 11% on H1 2024 due to the general stagnation in volumes already in evidence at the end of 2024. This, in turn, was due to the uncertainty produced by the ongoing conflicts, which was exacerbated by the introduction of import duties.
Both air traffic and ground freight decreased - the former by 6% and the latter by 17%.
Revenues in the period decreased 7.9% on the first half of 2024, as a result of the volumes indicated above, while costs increased 6.1%, mainly in terms of services. Consequently, EBITDA in H1 2025 rose by 45.4% compared to the first half of 2024 to Euro 0.3 million, with a Net Profit of Euro 189 thousand, a 51.4% increase.
Finally, as there were no significant updates, reference should be made to Note 29 of the 2024 Annual Accounts with regards to the customs dispute involving FFM in 2021, as indirect representative, following the customs declaration assessments made by the Bologna Customs Office.
TAG began operations in 2008 following the completion and opening of the General Aviation Terminal and hangar. In addition to managing the above infrastructure at Bologna airport, the company operates as a handler in the General Aviation sector. The Parent Company acquired a 100% interest (previously 51%) in TAG Bologna in 2018.
The company, which assigned certain staff activities to the parent under a management & staffing contract covering the legal and personnel area, had 16 employees at June 30, 2025 (unchanged on December 31, 2024).
The company prepares its financial statements according to Italian GAAP. The key indicators for the period, adjusted where necessary entirely for the purposes of preparing these consolidated financial statements as per IAS/IFRS, are presented below.
In H1 2025, Tag reported an increase in movements (9.6%) compared to 2024, alongside a 5.9% increase in tonnage, confirming the positive trend seen in recent years. Passenger traffic increased by 2.7% compared to the same period in 2024.
Revenues in the period rose 10.3% on H1 2024, while costs increased 1%. EBITDA therefore grew 38% to Euro 0.9 million (Euro 0.7 million in H1 2024), while the Net Result for the period reports a profit of Euro 555 thousand, also up on a profit of Euro 351 thousand in the comparative period. Reference should be made to the specific paragraph of the

In H1 2025, the Group's commitment to sustainability issues continued through various projects to monitor and reduce the negative impact of airport activities on the surrounding environment with energy efficiency actions, sustainable mobility and renewable energy, taking care of employees and the local area, and developing an increasingly ESG-orientated business model and supply chain.
See section 4.4. for key environmental sustainability investments.
Among the activities carried out in the area of sustainability in cooperation with local authorities, we highlight the process to rationalise existing bus lines and the introduction of the Q line, which connects the urban network with ordinary fares. AdB participated by paying a contribution to allow the service to be revised. All urban tickets will be valid on this line, including monthly and annual urban season passes, promoting greater inclusion and allowing subsidised rates to be applied for more vulnerable groups. The line will be operated with highly sustainable, predominantly electric buses.
The airport's commitment to its employees and the local community also continues. In the first six months of the year, activities focused mainly on issues of employment and people empowerment, with constant attention to the topics of
Perceptions of the level of cleanliness of toilets, accessibility of public information services, and clarity of interior signage revealed satisfaction levels above 95% in H1 2025.
The Schengen boarding hall redevelopment sites caused a slight decline in the perceived availability of charging stations, as several points were decommissioned to make room for these sites. When the redevelopment is complete, new wired seats for charging will be installed. In the meantime, a number of new columns have been installed for passenger use.
diversity, equity and inclusion. Among the most significant initiatives we highlight:
Finally, the process to improve Sustainability Reporting continues. This began with the "On the Road to the CSRD" project to guide the transition to reporting under the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive. At this stage, the Group is focusing on the gradual digitalisation of processes as it seeks to automate data collection and strengthen internal controls to improve information quality and reliability.
Security waiting times improved on H1 2024, thanks to upgrades and new x-ray control machines. Baggage reclaim times also improved, thanks to synergy of joint working groups between AdB and the handlers. There was a slight increase in waiting times for booked departing PRMs.

The main regulatory updates are reported below, while reference should be made to the 2024 Directors' Report for those issues not subject to amendments or supplements in the period.
On October 6, 2023, at the ENAC headquarters in Rome, the "Regulatory Agreement" between ENAC and AdB was signed for the 2023-2026 period.
In terms of the tariffs for the four-year period 2023-2026, then, we note that on April 28, 2023, with Resolution No. 82/2023, the Transport Regulation Authority declared compliance with the requirements in relation to the proposed revision of airport fees prepared by AdB and approved by airport users. The requirements set out by the Authority in that resolution were, therefore, fully enacted by the operator and, subsequently, on July 13, 2023 the TRA adopted a final compliance resolution.
In H1 2024, Aeroporto Guglielmo Marconi di Bologna S.p.A. then put forward (receiving approval from ENAC on August 13, 2024) a justified proposal to update (pursuant to Article 6, paragraph 3 of the CDP) the annexes to the Regulatory Agreement for the four-year period 2023-2026. This considered the most updated traffic forecasts and in any case is substantially in line with previous agreements. It also takes into account the airport co-ordination beginning from the IATA Winter Season 2024-25 and considers the updates made to the Investment Plan based on new priorities and executive phases. The Plan also contains some new investments that bring the value of the investments in the four-year period - previously set at around Euro 140 million to approximately Euro 200 million.
The proposal, which was approved by ENAC as mentioned above, is considered to best meet the needs of the airport and its users. The reviewed, authorised reinvestment plan to 2026, accompanied by a business plan, is fully sustainable and will be entirely financed by AdB, using its own funds and bank and European Investment Bank (EIB) financing.
On October 24, 2024, the Annual Hearing of the Users of Bologna's "Guglielmo Marconi" Airport was held, concerning the determination of fees for 2025. The PRM 2025 fee was approved by user vote. The ENAC oversight activity upon the PRM 2025 fee was concluded on January 28, 2025 with the approval of the fee.
The oversight activities of the Transportation Regulatory Authority, under the terms and for the purposes of paragraph 6.1.2 of the TRA Model, concluded on December 23, 2024, with the Authority not recognising the cost arising from the expropriation of the land on which parking lot 4 currently stands. With specific reference to this investment, in the annual determination of airport fees for 2025, the TRA ruled that the manager did not correctly apply the provisions of measure 8.5, point 9, of the relevant Airport Fees Regulatory Model approved by Resolution No. 92/2017, in terms of the section that provides that the expropriation charges "within the limits of the fairness value defined through the formal evaluation procedure provided for by the regulations in force, within the limits of the share strictly pertaining to aviation products subject to tariff regulation for which these areas are instrumental" are admissible to the net invested capital. The Authority therefore requested that this cost be excluded from the remuneration by making the relevant adjustment for the determination of the 2026 tariffs.
The above TRA determination was appealed in the administrative court, as reported in the Disputes section of the Notes to these consolidated half-year financial statements.
Budget Law 2025 (Law No. 207 of December 30, 2024) introduced a number of provisions applicable to airports and airport operations, particularly regarding the municipal surtax on passenger boarding fees. From April 1, 2025, in fact, the municipal surtax on passenger boarding fees increased by Euro 0.50 for each passenger boarded on directs flights to non-EU destinations. This increase applies to airports with annual traffic of 10 million passengers or more, calculated on the previous calendar year. The proceeds from this increase will go to the Municipalities in which the airport is located. Where the airport extends over several municipalities, the sums will be allocated proportionally among them. If any of the affected municipalities has a population of less than 15,000, the due share will be paid to the relevant Province or Metropolitan City.
In addition, Budget Law 2025, in Paragraph 744 of Article 1, introduced procedures for ascertaining the payment of municipal surtaxes on air passenger boarding fees (established by Article 2 Paragraph 1 of Finance Law 2004, Law No. 350 of 2003), defining procedures for reporting data to the Ministry for Infrastructure and Transport ("MIT") by ENAC and the airport operators.
AdB has formally proceeded to report to MIT from the data as of January 2025 and has set up the necessary internal IT
flow for the new type of billing that began on April 1, 2025 but has not yet been able to make the payment of the amount collected in the absence of the issuance of the implementing Ministerial Decree.
For further information on the disputes, reference should be made to Note 27 of this consolidated half-year report.
The AdB Group's financial performance is influenced by air traffic, which is, in turn, influenced by the economic environment, national and international health conditions, the economic and financial situation of individual airlines and airline alliances, as well as competition, on some routes, with alternative means of transport.
Depending on the specific way in which they evolve, these factors can have a impact on long-term performance, thus
Group operations are significantly based on relations with the leading airlines at the airport and to which the Group offers its services, including - in particular - Ryanair. Due to the large proportion of total passenger flights at the airport operated by Ryanair, the Group is exposed to the risk that the airline may scale back or discontinue entirely its operations at the airport. Ryanair passengers accounted for 54.1% of the airport's total traffic volumes in H1 2025.
In the wake of the successful multi-year arrangement AdB and Ryanair have consolidated the partnership, started in 2008, with a new 6-year agreement signed in February 2023. Particularly, AdB and Ryanair have signed an agreement, within the framework of their respective development objectives, in order to: ensure the maintenance of an comprehensive and varied network of connections within the areas served by the carrier and also to ensure network development in line with capacity and consistent with the infrastructure development projects of Marconi airport. The agreement pursues overall long-term sustainability goals and includes an incentive scheme linked to the airport's traffic development policy.
Although in the Group's opinion Bologna airport is of strategic importance to the airline, it is still possible that Ryanair may decide to change the routes served, significantly reducing or discontinuing entirely its flights at the airport. Any reduction or stoppage of flights by the afore-mentioned airline or the stoppage or change to flights with other destinations with high passenger traffic volumes may negatively impact - even to a significant degree - the Group financial statements.
resulting in changes to the Group's development policies. The areas listed below may be affected by these issues, given the pervasive and uncertain nature of the developing pandemic.
For further information on the management of financial risks, reference should be made to "Type and management of financial risks" paragraph at Note 28 of these Financial Statements.
The Parent Company is exposed to the risk of a decrease in the margins of its Aviation Business Unit if airlines that receive incentives experience an increase in traffic volumes which is not offset by adequate development of traffic for those with less or no incentive. In accordance with its incentive policy aimed at developing traffic and routes at the Airport, the Company pays some airlines – including both legacy and lowcost carriers – incentives tied to passenger traffic volumes and new routes. This policy limits incentives to levels compatible with positive margins on each airline's operations. However, should the passenger traffic and routes operated by airlines receiving incentives increase as a proportion compared to the current market structure, the Company's positive margins could decline proportionally, with a negative impact, possibly to a material degree, on the Group's financial performance and financial position.
Although the low-cost segment's share of the Italian national market is significant, the Group manages this risk by proactively developing traffic that generates an increasingly positive marginal contribution, also considering the sharp increase in demand at Bologna airport.
The strong growth in traffic reported in 2024 (which continued in the volumes seen in early 2025), the ongoing work inside the terminal and the consequent need to prepare emergency operating solutions to manage passenger flows, could, in some situations, impede access to points of sale and changes in passenger flows. Such events would have an impact on the revenue-generating performance of the points of sale. This comes in addition to ENAC provisions limiting
Aeroporto Guglielmo Marconi di Bologna S.p.A. 31
commercial spaces in favour of operational spaces. This risk, however, should be mitigated by the coordinated airport status, which should have the effect of reducing traffic peaks during the day.
This could however see retailers potentially requesting renegotiation of sub-concession contracts and, more generally, could reduce the profitability of the retail business, pending the completion of major investments and the creation of significant new infrastructure capacity.
The Parent Company invests in the airport as part of its overall management on the basis of an Action Plan approved by the Italian Civil Aviation Authority (ENAC). The Action Plan was drafted on the basis of the investments envisaged in the Master Plan according to a modular approach, the main driver of which is air traffic performance. With Order No. 0100428/P dated August 11, 2022, the National Civil Aviation Authority expressed a favourable opinion on the Investment Plan submitted by AdB for the four-year period 2023-2026. With its Order dated August 13, 2024, the National Civil Aviation Authority expressed a favourable opinion on the technical annex updates - chief amongst which is the Investment Plan - submitted by AdB for the four-year period 2023-2026.
AdB could encounter difficulties in implementing the investments provided for under the Action Plan in a timely manner due to unforeseeable events, such as delays in the process of obtaining authorisation for and/or executing the works, delays in procurement processes for certain materials or components, with possible adverse effects on the amount of the tariffs that may be applied and possible penal risks of withdrawal from or termination of the Agreement. The execution of the planned interventions could be conditioned by the non-availability of raw materials or by sharply increasing costs. Recent international geopolitical tensions have, in fact, led to an increase in energy prices, which have reached exceptionally high levels and a general rise in inflation. These effects, together with uncertainty regarding the availability of raw materials, could lead to criticality in the supply of certain materials, an increase in operating costs linked to the functioning of airport infrastructure and an increase in the costs of carrying out certain investments.
In addition, as a result of the coordinated airport status, if the Action Plan is not implemented on time, delays in the release of additional infrastructure capacity and thus limitations to future traffic development could be generated.
The investment plan as remodelled from time to time, while always ensuring due and constant reporting to ENAC, will be implemented with the financial resources that are largely already available as a result of the EIB financing.
The Aeroporto Guglielmo Marconi di Bologna S.p.A. Group's core business involves acting as concession holder operating under special exclusive rights to the Bologna airport grounds. Primarily for this reason, it operates in an industry that is highly regulated at the domestic, supranational and international levels. Any change to the regulatory framework (and in particular any changes in relations with the state, public bodies and sector authorities, the determination of airport fees and the amount of concession fees, the airport tariff system, the allocation of slots, environmental protection and noise pollution) may impact operations and Company and Group results.
Managing airport operations in close proximity to population centres drives the Group's increasing focus on sustainable traffic development at its airport. As previously reported, AdB has long adopted measures to monitor noise levels and constantly checks airport acoustic zoning limits. Following minimal exceedance in the very low-density residential area of Calderara, it began targeted studies and analyses and is therefore in the process of preparing a proposal for measures to reduce aircraft noise impact, using a balanced approach to noise management in compliance with current legislation. This approach includes: (i) promoting the introduction of aircraft with lower noise emissions, (ii) revising Runway 30 take-off procedures, (iii) decreasing the night traffic quota (11PM-6AM), following a preliminary investigation to guarantee a balanced approach (ex Reg EU 598/2014). The Group also carries out periodic roundtables with local authorities and the main operators at the airport, to jointly assess possible measures to be taken.
The complex international environment and a growth in criminal activities expose the Group to an increasing Cyber Security risk. This is exacerbated during phases of international conflict and particularly affects critical infrastructure such as airports. AdB is in fact an Essential Operator under Legislative Decree No. 138 of October 2024 (transposition of the NIS2 Directive). As such, it is subject to basic obligations, including the Incident Notification Obligation, which will be transposed according to the deadlines set out in that obligation. For the Group, this risk takes the form of increasing exposure to data theft and/or temporary disruption of airport systems, generating potential disruptions to passengers, suppliers and employees, and lost revenue.
In addition to having obtained ISO 27001 certification for its Information Security Management System (ISMS), the Group therefore continues to monitor changes in the international environment to allow it to identify any additional risks and impacts on the business, taking mitigation actions and adopting organisational models compliant with recent industry regulations.

The macroeconomic and geopolitical environment of recent years exposes the Group to specific related risks. Its business has been particularly impacted by the war between Russia and Ukraine, which resulted in an - albeit minimal - loss of traffic volumes to Eastern European countries. This conflict could adversely affect consumer confidence, the propensity to travel and the economic recovery in general, including outside of Eastern Europe. This has been compounded by the conflict in the Middle East, which exacerbates the difficulties posed by increasing global geopolitical uncertainties.
In terms of balance in global macroeconomic conditions, the U.S. administration's recent introduction of tariffs on imported goods (the details of which are not yet clearly defined and which affect strategic sectors in Italy such as the automotive, fashion and agri-food segments) could weaken global trade and the global economy, provoking possible subsequent retaliatory actions by the trading partners of the countries concerned ("trade wars") and an increase in the cost of goods transported globally. Worsened relations caused by the imposition of restrictive measures and the concomitant increase in commodity prices could therefore negatively affect demand and damage consumer confidence.
Further worsening of the aforementioned geopolitical conditions (i.e. the wars in the Middle East and Ukraine), where more clarity is expected on developments in the negotiations conducted to date, could result in increased limitations and closures of airspace, which in turn would result in additional operational restrictions for carriers transiting the affected areas.
A number of challenges therefore remain, both economically and in terms of international security. Against this uncertain backdrop, the AdB Group could potentially suffer negative effects on its business performance, particularly in terms of the volumes of goods traded.
Climate change could affect AdB in terms of the occurrence of particularly intense and unforeseen events (high intensity rainfall, hailstorms, heat waves, floods). Such events would have repercussions on the airport's operations, generating inefficiencies and impacts on airport users and, to a lesser extent, risks of damage to airport infrastructure and equipment. To ensure appropriate climate risk mapping and the preparation of an appropriate management plan, the Group has performed a long-term climate vulnerability analysis to ensure the resilience of its infrastructure and operational setup. AdB is also in the process of defining a Climate Adaptation Plan that includes action to manage the risk related to the occurrence of extreme weather events. It also has insurance coverage in place for catastrophic events.
With regards to the preparation of the consolidated financial statements at June 30, 2025, as indicators of impairment as defined by IAS 36 are not evident and considering that Group economic-financial performances are in line with the 2025- 2046 economic-financial forecast formulated by the Board of Directors and already used in the impairment tests at December 31, 2024, no impairment tests were carried out.
Due to the cyclical nature of the sector in which the Group generally operates, higher revenues and operating results are expected in the third quarter rather than in the first and final quarters of the year. Higher revenues are concentrated in June-September, during the peak summer vacation period experiencing maximum usage levels. In addition, there is a strong business passenger component, due to the characteristics of the local business community and the presence of internationally renowned trade fair events, which offsets the seasonal peaks of tourist activity. Accordingly, financial performance figures for interim periods may not be representative of the Group's financial performance and financial position situation at the annual level.
In this Directors' Report, various performance indicators are presented in order to permit a better assessment of operating performance and financial position.
On December 3, 2015, Consob published Communication No. 92543/15, rendering applicable the Guidelines issued on October 5, 2015 by the European Security and Markets Authority (ESMA) regarding the presentation of such indicators in regulated information circulated or financial statements published on or after July 3, 2016. These Guidelines, updating the previous CESR Recommendation (CESR/05-178b), seek to promote the utility and transparency of alternative performance measures included in regulated information or financial statements within the scope of application of Directive 2003/71/EC in order to improve comparability, reliability and comprehensibility.
The criteria utilised for these indicators, in line with the above communications, are provided below:
EBITDA:EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxation, depreciation and amortisation) is defined by management as the result before taxes for the year, financial income and charges, income and charges from
Aeroporto Guglielmo Marconi di Bologna S.p.A. 33

equity investments, depreciation, amortisation and impairment. It therefore coincides, in this case, with the gross operating margin. EBITDA is not identified as an accounting measure as per IFRS and therefore should be considered as an alternative measure for the evaluation of the Group's performance. Since calculation of this indicator is not governed by the accounting standards that form the basis of preparation of the Group's Consolidated Financial Statements, the criterion used to determine and measure the indicator might not be uniform with that adopted by other groups. Accordingly, the figure in question might not be comparable with that presented by such other groups;
For details of the guarantees provided by the Group, reference should be made to Note 28 of these consolidated half-year financial statements.
On April 13, 2015 the Board of Directors of the Parent Company decided, in accordance with Article 70, paragraph 8, and Article 71, paragraph 1-bis, of the Issuers' Regulation, to opt out of publishing the disclosure documents provided for in Annex 3B to the Issuers' Regulation in the event of significant merger, spin-off, share capital increase through conferment of assets in kind, acquisition, and sales operations.
No events have occurred subsequent to the end of the half year that would require changes in terms of the presented performance or equity and financial position and that would therefore necessitate adjustments and/or additional disclosures in the financial statements with reference to the amounts reported at June 30.
In July and August, Bologna Airport exceeded the one million passenger mark at 1,103,012 and 1,108,983 respectively, decreasing 1.1% and 0.9% on the same months in 2024. This result is substantially attributable to the status of "coordinated airport" in the presence of construction sites for Summer 2025.
Passengers for the January-August period at Marconi numbered 7,508,516, up 3.2% on the same period of 2024, while movements rose 1.5% on the same period of 2024 to 53,167. Air cargo carried in the first eight months of 2025 totalled 29,000 tonnes, decreasing (-3.3%) on the same period of 2024.
The most popular Destinations in August 2025 were: Catania, Tirana, Barcelona, Cagliari, Olbia, Palermo, Bucharest Otopeni, Brindisi, Istanbul and Madrid, in line with the month of July.
On April 17, the parent company agreed a short-term credit line with Credit Agricole worth Euro 8.5 million and maturing on October 31, 2025. This line will function as a bridge loan for short-term needs while waiting for the EIB loan to be drawn down. A similar loan for Euro 2 million was undertaken in June with BPM, with maturity on September 30, 2025. The second tranche of the EIB loan of Euro 20 million was received on July 31, with a maturity date of July 31, 2043.
While 2024 was a key year for air traffic development by surpassing 2019's traffic volumes for the first time since the pandemic, ACI World estimates further significant growth of approximately 4.8% in 2025. Following this development driven by the post-pandemic recovery, the most recent sector studies indicate more structured and contained air traffic growth over the near term, while remaining mindful also of the current significant macroeconomic and geopolitical instability, exacerbated by the volatility from the introduction of tariffs by the U.S. administration at the beginning of 2025. Meanwhile, infrastructural spend is increasing in the emerging countries, with a renewed expansion in middle class demand which is expected to significantly drive growth. Against this backdrop, the aviation industry is focusing on financial and environmental sustainability and operational streamlining. This development outlook is also reflected in the passenger traffic projections for Europe, which - according to ACI Europe's and Eurocontrol's research - will grow 3.6% in 2025 (+3.7% movements) and then settle at approximately 3.2% in 2028 against +2.2% for movements (Source: ACI Europe, European Airport Traffic Forecast Scenarios, April 2025. ACI World Airport Traffic Forecasts 2023–2052, February 2025. Eurocontrol, EUROCONTROL Forecast 2025-2031 – Spring 2025, February 2025. IATA, Global Outlook for Air Transport, June 2025).
AdB for the first half of 2025 reports strong traffic and operating-financial results. The second quarter of 2025 represented the start of the first Summer for the airport with coordinated airport status. Traffic was up on 2024, although with the growth gradually slowing to level off in line with last year's volumes. The traffic profile however presents a different, more even distribution of movements throughout the day.
The second half of the year began in July and August with traffic volumes in line with 2024, due substantially to the
Aeroporto Guglielmo Marconi di Bologna S.p.A. 35
"coordinated airport" status amid the presence of construction sites for Summer 2025.
The Group throughout the year will continue to be engaged in overcoming the limits of the infrastructural capacity of certain sub-systems, with various interventions at the terminal, with a view to improving the quality of service and the travel experience of passengers, once the critical issues related to maintaining the full operation of the infrastructure and operational processes amid the construction work have been overcome. In terms of non-aviation services, the entry into service of the first portion of the new P6 smart multistorey car park in July represents a significant increase in user offerings: more than 1,000 additional parking spaces, which will grow to a total of 2,200 with the opening of the second portion of the car park at the end of construction scheduled for the second half of 2026.
Meanwhile, important commitments continue in the areas of innovation and sustainability. The Group has taken concrete action to mitigate the negative environmental impacts of airport activity, and specifically the preliminary studies into preparing a proposed Noise Abatement Plan continue.
Finally, initiatives are underway to protect natural resources, improve the quality of life and well-being of the surrounding community, and provide safe and inclusive workplaces.

The Group operates in the airport management business. Specifically:
Aeroporto Guglielmo Marconi di Bologna S.p.A. (hereinafter "AdB" or the "Parent Company") is full manager of Bologna airport under Full Management Agreement No. 98 of July 12, 2004 and subsequent additional instruments, approved by Decree of the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure and the Ministry of the Economy and Finance on March 15, 2006, with a term of 40 years from December 28, 2004 and expiry in December 2046 following the extension of two years in accordance with Law No. 77 of July 17, 2020, which converted Article 102, paragraph 1-bis of Decree-Law No. 34 of May 19, (Relaunch Decree) in order to contain the economic effects of the COVID-19 emergency. Its registered office is located at Via del Triumvirato 84, Bologna and it is registered with the Bologna Companies Register.
The condensed consolidated half-year financial statements of the Group (hereafter "the condensed consolidated half-year financial statements of the Group" or "consolidated financial statements") were prepared for the period ended June 30, 2025 and include the comparative figures for the year ended December 31, 2024, limited to the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position and the comparative figures for the halfyear January 1-June 30, 2024, limited to the Consolidated Income Statement, Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income and Consolidated Cash Flow Statement. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, except for the valuation of certain classes of financial assets measured at fair value, as well as on the going concern basis .
For further information on risk factors, assumptions and uncertainties, please refer to the relevant paragraph in the Directors' Report.
The consolidated financial statements are presented in thousands of Euro, which is also the Group functional currency, and all amounts are rounded to the nearest thousands of Euro, where not otherwise indicated.
The publication of the condensed consolidated half-year financial statements of Aeroporto Guglielmo Marconi di Bologna S.p.A. and the two subsidiaries (the Group) for the first half of 2025 was approved by the Board of Directors on September 8, 2025 and was subject to limited audit by PricewaterhouseCoopers Spa.
The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements at June 30 were prepared as per IAS 34 "Interim Financial Statements" including condensed explanatory notes in accordance with the above-mentioned international accounting standard and supplemented in order to provide greater disclosure where considered necessary. These Consolidated Financial Statements must therefore be read together with the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year 2024 prepared in accordance with IFRS International Accounting Standards issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB").
The accounting standards and policies utilised are those adopted for the preparation of the annual financial statements at December 31, 2024, to which reference should be made, with the exception of the new accounting standards, amendments and interpretations which entered into force from January 1, 2025, applied for the first time by the Group at the obligatory effective date and summarised in this document in the paragraph "Accounting standards, amendments and interpretations endorsed by the European Union adopted by the Group". The Group has not adopted in advance any accounting standard, interpretation or amendment issued but not yet in effect.
The Consolidated Financial Statements include the Statement of Consolidated Financial Position, the consolidated income statement, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the consolidated cash flow statement and the statement of changes in consolidated shareholders' equity.
The Group opted to prepare the statement of comprehensive income which includes, in addition to the result for the period, also the changes to equity relating to income items which, in accordance with International Accounting Standards, are recognised under equity.
The consolidated financial statements were prepared based on the financial statements of the company and its subsidiaries, directly and indirectly held, approved by the respective shareholders' meetings or executive bodies, appropriately adjusted in line with IFRS.
The subsidiary companies are fully consolidated from the date of acquisition, or from the date in which the Group acquires control, and ceases to be consolidated at the date on which the Group no longer has control.
The following table summarises the information on the subsidiaries at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 in terms of the Group's direct and indirect holding.

As of January 1, 2025, a number of amendments to international accounting standards came into force that did not have an impact on the Group's half-year consolidated financial statements as no significant applicable cases occurred.
Lack of convertibility, in order to provide guidance for specifying when a currency is convertible and how to determine the exchange rate when it is not; the changes specify when a currency is convertible into another currency and when it is not, and how an entity estimates the spot rate when a currency is not convertible. Furthermore, when a currency is not convertible, an entity must disclose information that allows users of its financial statements to evaluate how the lack of convertibility of a currency affects, or is expected to affect, its financial performance, financial position and cash flows.
The following standards and interpretations, at the preparation date of this document, had already been issued but were not yet in force:
This clarifies a number of problematic issues emerging from the post-implementation review of IFRS 9, including the accounting treatment of financial assets whose returns vary upon achievement of ESG objectives (i.e., green bonds). Specifically, the changes aim to:
Aeroporto Guglielmo Marconi di Bologna S.p.A. 45
With these amendments, the IASB has also introduced additional disclosure requirements with respect to investments in equity instruments designated to FVOCI in particular.
The amendments will be applicable to financial statements for periods beginning 1 January 2026. The Group is currently assessing any possible impacts.
Annual improvements are limited to changes that modify the wording contained in an IFRS Accounting Standard or correct relatively minor unintended consequences, oversights or conflicts between the requirements of the IFRS Accounting Standards. The amendments set out herein are effective for annual fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2026, with earlier application permitted.
On April 9, 2024, the IASB issued the document "Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements". IFRS 18 will replace IAS 1 "Presentation of Financial Standards for financial statement presentation" as the primary source of requirements under IFRS for the presentation of financial statements. IFRS 18 introduces new requirements for the presentation of the income statement, including specified totals and subtotals. It also requires reporting on performance indicators defined by management and includes new requirements for the aggregation and disaggregation of financial information. IFRS 18 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2027, with early application permitted.
The Group has begun a process of analysing the impacts on its results and equity and financial position resulting from the future application of the standard, which will be updated in the coming years, also based on the interpretative and application developments of the standard.
On May 9, 2024, the IASB published "IFRS 19 Subsidiaries without public accountability: Disclosures. The amendment allows subsidiaries, which do not have a public liability and are controlled by a Parent Company that prepares consolidated financial statements for public use under IFRS, to choose to apply the reduced disclosure requirements of IFRS 19 while continuing to apply the recognition, measurement, and presentation requirements of other IFRS accounting standards. The amendment will take effect on January 1, 2027, with early application allowed.
The Group does not expect any significant impact on its results and equity and financial position from the future application of this standard.
Preparation of the financial statements requires the use of estimates and judgments that are reflected in the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosures in the notes, including with regard to contingent assets and liabilities at the reporting date. The subsequently observed actual results for the period may differ from such estimates; estimates and assumptions are also revised and updated periodically and the effects of any changes are immediately reflected in the financial statements. The Group based its estimates and assumptions on information available at the preparation date of the consolidated financial statements. We summarise below management's considerations on the aspects considered significant for the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.
Reference should be made to Note 1 Concession rights.

The Group provides in the Note to the paragraph "16. Provision for renewal of airport infrastructure (non-current and current)" the breakdown of the provision for the renewal of airport infrastructure, which includes at period-end, in accordance with the obligations assumed, accruals relating to extraordinary maintenance, refurbishment and replacement to be undertaken at a future point in time to ensure that
The Group provides in the Note to the paragraph "7. Deferred tax assets" the details of deferred tax assets and their value. The recoverability of deferred tax assets is based on forecasts of taxable income derived from operating and
The Group records investment property at cost. This value is maintained as approximates the fair value of the investment
The Group provides in the Notes the fair value of the financial instruments. When the fair value of a financial asset or financial liability may no longer be measured based on the prices on an active market, the fair value is determined utilising various valuation techniques, including the discounted cash flow model. The inputs inserted in this model are recorded from observable markets, where possible, but when
The Group in the analysis of subsequent events to the reporting date analyses the conditions on which it is necessary to make changes on the accounting data and relative disclosures, depending on whether this concerns events occurring after the reporting date:
The Aeroporto Guglielmo Marconi di Bologna Group, in application of IFRS 8, identified its operating segments as the business areas which generate revenues and costs, whose results are periodically reviewed by the highest decisionmaking level in order to evaluate the outcome of the decisions concerning the allocation of resources and for which separate financial statements are available.
The Group operating segments as per IFRS 8 - Operating Segment are as follows:
airport infrastructure remains duly functional and secure. The estimate of the provision for renewal of airport infrastructure therefore requires complex professional technical judgement, in particular in relation to the nature of the costs to be incurred, their amount and the timing of the expected interventions.

financial forecasts of the Group. Tax assets are shown net of tax liabilities as they can be offset within the same tax authority.
properties given their particular nature (absence of a comparable active market).
this is not possible, a certain level of estimation is required to define the fair values. The estimates include considerations on variables such as the liquidity risk, the credit risk and volatility. The changes of the assumptions on these elements may have an impact on the fair value of the financial instrument recorded.
In relation to the operating segments, the Group evaluates their performance based on passenger revenues, separating those concerning the aviation sector from those concerning the non-aviation sector.
The item "Other" residually includes what is not directly attributable to the sectors identified.
In Group operations, financial income and charges and taxes are not allocated to the individual operating segments.
The segment assets are those employed by the segment for operating activities or which may be allocated reasonably for the carrying out of operating activities.
The segment assets presented are measured utilising the same accounting policies adopted for the presentation of the Group consolidated financial statements.

Segment disclosure regarding the identified operating segments is undertaken as outlined below.
Aviation: refers to the airport's core business. This includes aircraft landing, take-off and parking fees, passenger boarding fees, freight fees, in addition to passenger security control
Aeroporto Guglielmo Marconi di Bologna S.p.A. 49
fees and hand-carry and checked baggage control fees. It includes also cargo handling, customs clearance and fuelling operations. Finally, this segment includes all centralised infrastructure and exclusive assets: the centralised infrastructure represents revenues received in relation to infrastructure under the exclusive operation of the airport management company for reasons of safety, security or in view of their economic impact. Exclusive assets concern check-in desks, the gates and spaces assigned to airport operators.
Non-Aviation: operations not directly connected to the aviation business. This include sub-concession, retail, catering, self-hire and parking management operations, the Marconi Business Lounge and advertising.
The breakdown of revenues and costs between the Aviation and Non-Aviation SBU's follows ENAC's guidelines for analytic/regulatory reporting for airport management companies, in line with Article 11 decies of Law No. 248/05 and the Ministry of Transport Guidelines of December 31, 2006.
The residual accounts excluded from regulatory reporting were subsequently allocated according to the operating criteria.
The main differences were as follows:

In the first half of 2025, Concession rights increased Euro 19.9 million gross of amortisation in the period (equal to the fair value of construction services provided in the period). The increase is mainly due to:
Software, licenses and similar rights increased Euro 0.8 million, gross of amortisation in the period, which mainly included software licenses.
Amortisation of concession rights in the year amounted to Euro 4.9 million and was applied according to the residual duration of the concession.
With regards to the preparation of the consolidated financial statements at June 30, 2025, as indicators of impairment as defined by IAS 36 are not evident and considering that Group economic-financial performances are in line with the 20252046 economic-financial forecast approved by the Board of Directors and utilised in the impairment tests of Concession Rights at December 31, 2024, no impairment tests were carried out.

This financial instrument, underwritten by the parent company on January 21, 2016 for a total value of Euro 10.9 million, was revalued in the period under review by Euro 0.8 million in application of the fair value through profit or loss criterion pursuant to IFRS 9. This assessment is made on the basis of an internally prepared model that updates the present value of the expected cash flows for the period associated with the airport concession, based on the updated risk free rate (10 year BTP (Bond)), of the financial risk as measured by Marconi Express' leverage, and of the operational risk of the business.

The table below presents the overall changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities:
| in thousands of Euro | As at 31.12.2024 |
Provisions | Util./adjustments | As at 30.06.2025 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Deferred tax assets | 7,447 | 837 | (734) | 7,550 |
| Deferred tax liabilities | (2,860) | (31) | 2 | (2,889) |
| DEFERRED TAX ASSETS | 4,587 | 806 | (732) | 4,661 |
The principal temporary differences on which deferred tax assets are recognised concern:
With regards to the deferred tax assets, which are recognised to the financial statements, their recoverability is reliably attributable to the underlying forecasts from the Group's most up-to-date financial projections.
The deferred tax liabilities were recorded on transition to IFRS following the application of IFRIC 12 "Service concession arrangements", as illustrated in the note relating to the Transition to International Accounting Standards IFRS in the 2014 Financial Statements. The increase in the first half of the year is attributable to the application of IFRIC 12 on investments in concession rights, as well as the recognition of deferred taxes on the IAS 19 valuation of severance benefits.

The ageing of trade receivables improved: receivables not yet due increased from 49% at December 31, 2024 to 59% at June 30, 2025, while receivables over 90 days past due decreased (from 11% at December 31, 2024 to 8% of total overdue receivables at June 30, 2025).
Of trade receivables over 90 days past due, 78% are covered by the provisions for doubtful accounts.
Gross trade receivables are shown net of the provision for doubtful accounts, increased due to the write-downs carried out on the basis of specific analysis of cases in arrears and/or in dispute and to the write-down applied on the residual debtor balance, classified by customer category and overdue period, with the simplified parameter method applied, as permitted by IFRS 9 for companies with a diversified and fragmented client portfolio (Provision Matrix). The provisions in the period total Euro 263 thousand, of which Euro 216 thousand recorded as a direct reduction of the relative revenues as concerning amounts invoiced during the period.
The movements in the provision for doubtful accounts were as follows:

The following table breaks down other current assets at June 30, 2025 (compared with December 31, 2024).
| in thousands of Euro | As at 30.06.2025 | As at 31.12.2024 | Change |

| Other receivables | 9,178 | 6,545 | 2,633 |
| OTHER CURRENT ASSETS | 9,576 | 7,349 | 2,226 |
Net of the reduction in the VAT receivable, the increase in this category is due to the increased "other receivables" for Euro 2.6 million. A breakdown is provided in the following table:
| in thousands of Euro | As at 30.06.2025 | As at 31.12.2024 | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Receivables for passenger boarding fees surtax | 7,632 | 5,971 | 1,661 |

| Other current receivables provision for doubtful accounts | (1,360) | (1,352) | (8) |

| Other current receivables | 484 | 467 | 17 |
| TOTAL OTHER RECEIVABLES | 9,178 | 6,545 | 2,633 |
The increase is mainly due to the trade receivables for passenger boarding fee surtaxes, which is considered directly related to the traffic performance, in addition to "accrued income and prepayments", which includes insurance premiums, data processing fees and other services invoiced in advance. The increase in this aggregate was mainly due to seasonal factors. The account "other current receivables provision for doubtful accounts" includes the provision for passenger boarding fee surtax doubtful accounts and for IRESA, obtained for reclassification under assets in the statement of financial position, as a deduction of the respective receivable, of the surtax and IRESA charged to the carriers which in the meantime were subject to administration procedures or which contested the charge. This item, which is exclusively posted in the statement of financial position, is classified as a deduction of the respective receivables due to the high improbability of recovery, reporting the following movements:

Finally, it should be recalled that in December 2022 the parent company had formalised to GH Italia S.p.A. a request for a price adjustment statement of the consideration for the sale of the shareholding in Marconi Handling. However, as of today, the condition of the unreasonable certainty of the receivable remains, which had led to its non-recognition as of December 31, 2022, and is confirmed as of June 30, 2025.

In addition to bank current accounts, the parent company has an unutilised credit line at June 30, 2025 of Euro 3 million available. The decrease in cash and cash equivalents during the period was mainly due to the absorption of cash from the payment of dividends (Euro 17 million) from the 2024 net profit (see Note 14 Shareholders' Equity).
For the comment on liquidity in the period, reference should be made to Section 3.2 of the Directors' Report.

The share premium reserve comprises:
Pursuant to Article 2431 of the Civil Code this reserve is available but may not be distributed until the legal reserve has reached the limit established as per article 2430 of the Civil Code.
The legal reserve, the extraordinary reserve and the retained earnings increased due to the allocation of the 2024 profit of the Parent Company and the subsidiaries, net of the distribution of dividends approved by the Shareholders' Meeting of AdB of April 29, 2025 for Euro 17,015,188.22, corresponding to a gross dividend of Euro 0.471 for each of the 36,125,665 ordinary shares in circulation at the dividend coupon date.
The retained earnings/accumulated losses also moved due to the profits for the preceding period deriving from the IAS accounting entries of the subsidiaries.
The OCI reserve records the changes deriving from the discounting of the severance provision in accordance with IAS 19 revised (note 15), net of the relative tax effect: at June 30, 2025, the actuarial estimate of the provision for severance pay has negligible effects on the severance provision.

At June 30, 2025, the provision for the renewal of airport infrastructure totalled Euro 21.1 million (Euro 19.2 million at December 31, 2024). The increase is due to the accrual for the period of Euro 2.5 million, in addition to the Euro 0.2 million increase due to the effect of financial expenses for the discounting of cash flows. Utilisations of approximately Euro 0.8 million mainly concern various works on plants (water distribution plants, heat generator units and automatic doors and gates). Finally, the actions planned for the second half of 2025 are confirmed, which involve upgrading a junction and a section of taxiway of the runway to restore the foundation and overlying bituminous layers.

This is alongside the flexibility of the option to choose between a fixed rate and a variable rate, the amount of which in both cases will be determined by the EIB in relation to the timing of the loan request and the overall conditions of disbursement and repayment. The last repayment date for each tranche shall fall no earlier than four years and no later than eighteen years from the relevant disbursement date, subject to the option for AdB to make voluntary early repayments. The contract includes negative pledges and covenants, including of a disclosure nature typical of such situations, with an early settlement obligation where control of AdB is acquired by a third party (change of control);

| TRADE PAYABLES | 33,977 | 31,716 | 2,261 |
Trade payables at June 30, 2025 amount to approximately Euro 34 million and are presented net of the payables for commercial incentives, classified as a reduction of the relative trade receivables. Trade payables concern the purchase of goods and services, including investments and mainly concern Italian suppliers.
With regards to the ageing of supplier items and therefore the payment terms of trade payables, as per the following tables, we indicate the reduced percentage of payables not yet due from 72% of the total at December 31, 2024 to 42% at June 30, 2025. Overdue payables therefore increased from 28% to 58% of total, although the largest component concerned those most recently overdue, with a number of significant items maturing at the end of June and paid in July increasing (between 0 to 30 days, equal to 40% at June 30, 2025 - compared to 20% at December 31, 2024).

The tables below break down revenues for the two comparative periods. In relation to the performance, reference should be made to the greater detail provided in the Directors' Report. Consolidated revenues overall totalled Euro 84.7 million, compared to Euro 76.5 million in H1 2024 (+10.8%). Isolating the "revenues from construction services" item, which depends on investments made in concession rights, which increased in the period, the adjusted revenues for the period amounted to Euro 64.3 million, compared to Euro 61.8 million in the first half of 2024 (+4.1%).

This revenue category grew thanks to the strong subconcession of premises and commercial spaces revenues (+7.9%), while other commercial revenues decreased, mainly due to the closure from the end of May 2025 of the directlymanaged Marconi Business Lounge activities. In order to better respond to passenger demands and with a view to improving service quality, AdB has in fact selected an operator with specific expertise in Hospitality management and premium services to directly manage the service upon completion of the lounge's renovation work. Revenues from the new method of managing the lounge will therefore fall under revenues from the subconcession of premises and commercial spaces.

Revenues from construction services concern the construction services undertaken by the Aeroporto Guglielmo Marconi di Bologna S.p.A. Group on behalf of the ENAC granting entity for the capital investments previously commented upon in relation to the Concession Rights in Note 1.
These revenues amounted to Euro 20.4 million, compared to Euro 14.7 million in H1 2024, due to the greater investments in airport infrastructure under concession. Reference should be made to the Directors' Report for further details.

Rental charges decreased due to the conclusion in mid-2024 of the contract to lease the land for the car park following its expropriation for the execution of the airport Masterplan.

The increase in personnel costs (7%) is due mainly to the expanded workforce (+36 average headcount in the period and +58 at June 30, 2025 compared to June 30, 2024), as a result of the increased traffic served and the strengthening of a number of staffing areas.
"Other personnel costs" are broken down in the following table: "Other personnel provisions/(releases)" includes the release of the employee back-dated provision at December 31, 2024 for the portion exceeding the One-off payment of the 2023-2024 fee established by the renewal of the Airport Operators Collective Bargaining Agreement in June 2025.

The depreciation and amortisation is in line with the effects of the full year application from the progressive roll-out of investments over the last twelve months (see Investment Chapter in the Directors' Report and notes 1-4).
Depreciation of tangible assets includes Euro 132 thousand of depreciation of the right-to-use assets in accordance with IFRS 16.
There are no amounts for the impairment of fixed assets in this category.

| Provisions for other risks and charges | 321 | 610 | (289) |
| TOTAL PROVISIONS | 2,820 | 2,981 | (161) |
This category of costs overall reports a decrease due to reduced allocations to the provision for doubtful accounts and to the provisions for future charges, which more than offset the increase in the allocation to the provision for the renewal of airport infrastructure. With regard to the former, it should be noted that an additional portion of the increase in the provision for doubtful accounts is classified as a deduction from the related revenues accrued during the period, as outlined in Note 10.
With regard to the provision for the renewal of airport infrastructure, which represents the amount accrued during the period of the costs of restoration and replacement of the airport infrastructure to be returned to ENAC at the end of the concession in a state of efficiency and full operation, the increase is due to the half-yearly update of the schedule of restoration and replacement works.

The estimate for income taxes for the first half of 2025 was Euro 4.6 million, compared to Euro 4.4 million for the first half of 2024.
With reference to IRES, we highlight the renewal for the 2024- 2026 three-year period of the option for Group taxation.
The estimated IRES tax charge for the first half of 2025 concerns the consolidated tax charge, corresponding to IRES of 24%. The IRAP tax rate for the Parent Company and TAG is 4.2%, while for FFM is 3.9%.
Finally, FFM adhered to the tax procedure of the Biannual Arrangement introduced by way of Legislative Decree No. 13 of February 12, 2024, for 2024 and 2025. This legislation introduced a fixed tax for fiscal years 2024 and 2025 for both IRES and IRAP, based on the arrangement proposed by the Italian Tax Agency;

For the definition of "Related Parties", reference should be made to IAS 24, approved by Regulation (EC) No. 1725/2003.
Intercompany transactions are carried out within the scope of ordinary operations and at normal market conditions. Related party transactions principally concern commercial and financial transactions, in addition to participation in the tax consolidation. None of these have particular economic or strategic significance for the company as they do not account for a significant percentage of the balance sheet, income statement and cash flows of the Parent Company and the Group.
The Bologna Chamber of Commerce shareholders were identified as a Government party, therefore exempt from the
Commercial transactions between the Parent Company and the subsidiary Tag Bologna S.r.l., in terms of receivables, principally concern the provision of operating services (vehicle maintenance and security services), administration and legal services, personnel secondment and director and Supervisory Board remuneration, in addition to the twenty-year subconcession of the General Aviation traffic assistance infrastructure for Euro 87 thousand (Euro 101 thousand in H1 2024). The decrease compared to the comparative period is mainly due to the lower number of seconded personnel and the lower vehicle maintenance costs.
Adb payables to the subsidiary mainly concern the capital grant for the covering of General Aviation terminal infrastructure operation and maintenance costs for the boarding and disembarking of passengers, against the financial advantage for AdB of including these costs in the calculation of passenger boarding fees. In addition to that above, we indicate the H24 contract. Overall, H1 2025 costs for TAG totalled Euro 211 thousand, compared to Euro 231 thousand in H1 2024.
Looking to the statement of financial position, the receivables from Tag at June 30, 2025 totalled Euro 382 thousand, of which Euro 52 thousand for the IRES tax consolidation (respectively Euro 283 thousand and Euro 52 thousand at June 30, 2024) and disclosure regarding related parties as defined by IAS 24. The categorisation of the Bologna Chamber of Commerce as a Government party therefore limited the checks required for the identification of related parties to the mere identification of the Bologna Chamber of Commerce. No additional information is reported in the financial statements concerning transactions undertaken by the company with the Bologna Chamber of Commerce as no significant transactions are undertaken with this shareholder.
The following related party transactions was carried out in the period:
payables of Euro 140 thousand (Euro 107 thousand at June 30, 2024).
Non-commercial transactions with Tag concerned:
Commercial transactions between the Parent Company and the subsidiary Fast Freight Marconi S.p.A. concern mainly the provision by AdB of the following services:

legal, ICT, personnel secondment and directors' competences and Supervisory Board;
packages and goods x-ray controls.
Revenues in the year from the subsidiary amount to Euro 269 thousand, substantially in line with H1 2024 (Euro 251 thousand), while no costs are reported.
Looking to the statement of financial position, the receivables from FFM at June 30, 2025 totalled Euro 268 thousand, of which Euro 25 thousand for the IRES tax consolidation (respectively Euro 238 thousand and Euro 67 thousand at June 30, 2024) and payables of Euro 1 thousand.
Non-commercial transactions with FFM included:
the tax consolidation contract renewed on the basis of the Board of Directors' motions of AdB of February
During the period, the Group undertook commercial transactions with subsidiaries of the shareholder Mundys Spa (Edizione Srl) as follows:
Telepass Spa: under the contract for the supply of electronic parking payment services, the Parent Company incurred costs of Euro 52 thousand (Euro 5, 2024 (consolidating company) and FFM of March 11, 2024 (consolidated company) for the years 2024- 2026. In this regard, as of June 30, 2024, AdB presents a receivable from FFM of Euro 25 thousand;
the co-obligation of AdB in a number of FFM's guarantees for approximately Euro 6 million, the most significant of which (at Euro 5.8 million) is the guarantee issued by UnipolSai to the customs authority on request of FFM for a customs dispute in which the subsidiary is involved. For more information, see Note 29.

At June 30, 2025, the guarantees granted by the Group total approx. Euro 27.9 million and principally concern:
In the context of such prolonged uncertainty and given the considerable commitments to infrastructure developments, the liquidity risk could manifest as difficulty in obtaining timely, cost-effective financing to cover the requirements of the operations plan. The Group has addressed this risk, on the one hand by strategically reviewing its investment plan in consultation with ENAC, identifying new priorities and implementation phases based on the 2023-2026 Regulatory Agreement, and on the other by agreeing new loans. These include, in December 2021, an agreement with the European Investment Bank (EIB) for a maximum of Euro 90 million. The first tranche of the EIB loan, for Euro 10 million and with an 18 year term, was received on August 2, 2024 to support the investment plan; the second tranche of Euro 20 million, with the same term, was received on July 31, 2025.
Thanks to these new sources, the current account balances and the additional credit line of Euro 5 million, the Group believes to have a flexibility of financing in line with the progress of the infrastructure development plan and with actual funding needs. As regards the annual covenants of the existing loan agreements, the Group is in compliance with its contractual commitments.
The Group has sought to manage interest rate risk, in view of its outstanding financing, by entering into both fixed-rate and floating-rate facilities. The EIB loan allows a choice between fixed and variable rates, the amount of which in both cases will be determined by the EIB in relation to the timing of the loan request and the overall conditions of disbursement and repayment. The first tranche, received in August 2024, has a fixed rate of 4.051%. For the second tranche collected in July 2025, the fixed rate is 3.987%,
The Group's credit risk is concentrated, in that 44% of its accounts receivable at June 30, 2024 are claimed from its top ten clients (52% at December 31, 2024). In general, the credit risk is offset through specific trade payable management and control tools and procedures, in addition to adequate provisioning for doubtful accounts, according to the principles of prudency and in compliance with the accounting standards

IFRS 15 and IFRS 9, which strengthens the ex-ante analysis approach, rather than existing receivable recovery, in the credit risk assessment processes.
The commercial policies pursued by the Group to limit its exposure involve:
In accordance with the disclosure requirements set out in Article 2428, c.2, No. 6-bis, considering the criteria that inform its choice of investments in temporary liquidity, such as:
the Group believes the financial risks – understood as the risks of changes in the value of these financial instruments – to be limited.
IFRS 7 defines the following three levels of fair value to which the valuation of financial instruments recognised in the statement of financial position should be referred: (i) Level 1: quoted prices recorded in an active market; (ii) Level 2: inputs other than the quoted prices referred to in the previous point that are observable directly (prices) or indirectly (derived from prices) in the market; and (iii) Level 3: inputs that are not based on observable market data. Considering that the Group holds a Level 3 equity financial instrument (SFP) in Marconi Express, the Group constantly monitors the economic and financial situation of Marconi Express S.p.A. through constant exchange of information with the company's management, allowing constant updates to the current value of the expected cash flows based on the updated risk free rate (10-year BTP (bond)), the financial risk measured by Marconi Express' leverage, and the operational risk of the business.
During the period, there were no transfers between the various levels of fair values indicated in IFRS 7. The following tables show financial assets by financial instrument category, in accordance with IFRS 7, showing the fair value hierarchy level as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. Financial liabilities are all at amortised cost and therefore have not been reported in the table.

This section outlines the main - fundamental in financial terms disputes and/or those which in the period saw significant legal and/or non-legal developments, without therefore providing an exhaustive outline of all positions for which specific amounts have been allocated to the disputes risk provision.
In relation to the contribution to the Fund set up by the 2007 Finance Act in order to reduce the cost to the State for the organisation and provision of the fire prevention service at Italian airports, the Parent Company promoted, in 2012, a specific judicial action before the Rome Civil Tax Court, substantially requesting the Judge to ascertain and declare the cessation of the obligatory contribution following the change in the purpose of the afore-mentioned Fund, i.e. from January 1, 2009. In fact, from that date the resources accumulated in the Fund were allocated to the generic requirements of the public purse and civil defence, as well as for financing salary increases of the Fire Prevention Service.
While awaiting the civil procedure, which extended over numerous years across a series of different judges and postponements, a consolidated jurisprudence (ex pluris Rome Provincial Tax Court No. 10137/51/2014 - passed into Law and Rome Provincial Tax Court No. 2517/2019) sealed by the pronouncement of the Court of Cassation No. 3162 of February 1, 2019 and, latterly, by the Lazio Regional Tax Commission No. 7164/2019, affirmed: i) the nature of the contribution to the Fire Prevention Fund, ii) the consequent competent tax jurisdiction, iii) the non-obligation to pay the tax from 2009, due to the non-applicability of its original legislative purpose, pending a legitimate legal provision.
Following the established jurisdiction of the civil courts pursuant to the ruling of the Regional Tax Commission of Lazio No. With regards to the disclosure concerning the types and means of non-financial risk management, reference should be made to the specific section of the Directors' Report.
252/10/2011, action was initially brought before the Court of Rome with General Registry No. 22375/2012 but, after the definitive determination of the Airport Fire Prevention Fund's nature as a special-purpose tax by virtue of Constitutional Court ruling No. 167/2018 and the Joint Divisions of the Court of Cassation ruling No. 3162/2019, steps were taken to transfer the proceedings before the tax courts.
More specifically, regarding AdB's direct interest, on February 8, 2022, the Court of Rome issued ruling No. 2012/2022 confirming the jurisdiction of the tax courts. Therefore, the Company, in order to obtain a direct recognition of the principles embodied universally by the Court of Cassation and by the Rome Provincial Tax Court in December 2022, presented the case before the Rome Court (RG No. 22375/12). On April 17, 2023, the Rome Provincial Tax Court dismissed AdB's appeal, radically departing from all relevant precedents.
On December 4, 2023, AdB's legal representatives formally notified the Administrations of the prepared appeal for the revision of the First Instance Tax Court ruling No. 5768/23 of May 2, 2023, which unexpectedly, contrary to all documentary evidence in the proceedings and legal determinations contained in final judgments between the parties, deemed the contested annual payments to the Airport Fire Prevention Fund as due. On December 5, 2023, the appeal was registered under General Appeal Registry No. 5921/2023 at the Second Instance Regional Tax Commission of Lazio. This appeal proceeding concerns – as it relates to AdB – all six annual payments requested to date (2007-2010, 2012, and 2014). The statute of limitations for the 2011 payment has also been invoked.
Meanwhile, an unfavourable precedent for the legitimate claims of airport operators has emerged: on January 10, 2024, in a different proceeding (General Registry No. 7833/20) to which AdB was not a party, the Court of Cassation published ruling
Aeroporto Guglielmo Marconi di Bologna S.p.A. 86
This document is a courtesy translation from Italian into English. In case of any inconsistency between the two versions, the Italian original version shall prevail.
No. 990/2024, upholding the Administrations' appeal and establishing the new legal principle that the Airport Fire Prevention Fund "has the nature of a tied tax" in order to reduce the cost borne by the State in the fire prevention service at airports, specifying further that the allocation constraint arises "limited to the phase of use of the revenue" and that this "allocation constraint is unrelated to the regulatory framework of the tax collection phase, but pertains to the use of the revenue". Additional proceedings initiated by other national operators are still pending regarding this line of cases.
Returning to the proceedings at the Tax Court of Lazio, it is further noted that the Court, in relation to the substance of the case, has stated that the grounds for complaint "concerning the erroneous consideration of a more limited number of airport companies identified in the contested measures, as well as the incorrect quantification and indication of total WLU values" appear to constitute "possible defects specific to the individual contested measures" and obviously not as questions of constitutional legitimacy "with effects that would not impact all annual payments and all companies." Based on the above observations and also "to avoid the risk of inconsistent rulings," the Court has therefore ordered "the suspension of the proceedings until the day of publication by the Constitutional Court of the decision on questions of constitutional legitimacy registered as number 191 of 2024" and has reserved "also following the examination of this interlocutory decision, any further and/or different assessment regarding the raised objections." It will therefore be necessary to await, in the months of June–September 2025, the ruling of the Constitutional Court in incidental proceeding No. 191/2024, raised within the context of the case concerning SEA's position and the 2008 annual payment, for which the hearing is scheduled for May 6, 2025.
In overall terms, on this highly articulated and complex matter that is the subject of multiple litigations at the national level, the most recent significant procedural development is the new question of constitutional legitimacy raised by the Second Instance Tax Court of Lazio with Order No. 1705/2024, which, essentially, did not consider the legal principle most recently established by the Court of Cassation with ruling No. 990/2024 adequate to allow for a constitutionally oriented interpretation of all the issues raised against the effects of the intervening Amendment.
As an update, mention should be made of the most recent ruling (No. 100/2025) on the matter issued by the Constitutional
On November 28, 2018, the Municipality of Bologna invited the Parent Company for the first time to reconsider the cadastral classification of some properties (procedure ex L.311/2004) on airport land, based on a purported orientation of case law that would point to a different classification. This request was then reiterated on February 10, 2020, with amendments to the scope Court. While limited to the specific questions of constitutional legitimacy expressed as part of the case of another airport operator before the second instance Court of Lazio Environmental Manager No. 4522/2022 for the year 2008, this ruling would seem to establish a negative frame of reference for all pending judgments, as the judges hearing the case are unlikely to dwell on all the additional exceptions and flaws validly raised regarding the allocation of Fire Prevention Fund resources for purposes that have nothing to do, including at the use stage, with the airport sphere and the airport fire prevention service. The most critical passage of the Constitutional Court's aforementioned ruling No. 100/2025 is, specifically, the wording "The above is sufficient to exclude that the legislative choice to allocate fund resources to a special operational allowance for urgent technical rescue service carried out also outside the airport perimeter is manifestly unreasonable and in violation of the principle of ability to pay". It can be expected that such a statement of principle by the Constitutional Court, while completely unsupported by any reasoning and which, moreover, goes against the very literal provision of Article 4, paragraph 3 bis, of Decree Law No. 185 of 2008, will negatively influence those Judges who in the future find themselves passing judgement on the documented exceptions of airport operators regarding non-compliance with constraints on resource use.
In the current phase of the litigation, also considering the new ruling from the Constitutional Court, the Company maintains a prudent approach in continuity with what has been done since the beginning of the litigation process.
On the basis of the opinion of the appointed lawyers supporting the unchanged illegitimacy, also of constitutional significance, determined by the ex lege violation of the allocation constraint, possible settlement solutions or, at this level of judgement, legislative solutions to resolve the numerous and deeply rooted cases put forward by national airports will continue to be sought. Moreover, every effort will be made, in all relevant forums, to repeal the 2009 rule and the issuance of a legitimate device in favour of taxpayers (i.e. airport operators) and recipients (National Fire Prevention Service for the management of fire prevention activities in the local areas of airport sites).
of the request, resulting, in certain cases, in the new and retroactive assessment of IMU property tax.
The Parent Company has always opposed these requests out of court within the scope of administrative procedure and with the filing, in July 2021, of a protective request with the Bologna provincial office of the Italian Tax Administration and the Municipality of Bologna, disputing the merits and underscoring

the fact that the original registration of the properties concerned was done in 2007 in coordination with and based on the instructions and authentic interpretation of applicable legislation by said local Land Registry. This initial registration was, in fact, carried out in concert with the competent authority and in accordance with the provisions of Law 262/2006 and circulars 4/T 2006 and 4/T 2007, which are still valid and unchanged, without even being able to point to the existence of changes in construction or other factors of non-conformity that could not be known since 2007.
Therefore, in the second half of 2021 and in early 2022, we reached the start of the concluding phase of this procedure by way of a potential proposed settlement with the Municipality of Bologna with regard to IMU, following the official measure for the cadastral assignment, as per Law 311/04, for these properties, as communicated on December 13, 2021, by the Bologna provincial office of the Italian Tax Administration responsible for land registration.
Therefore, the Group decided to submit a proposal for settlement, with limited and justified concessions in the interest of the company and without the assessment of the sanctions demanded by the Municipality of Bologna, in light of the provisions of Law 212/2000 (the Taxpayers Law), given the legitimate expectations of the companies of the Group. The voluntary settlement proposal is not an admission of guilt and is solely motivated so as to settle the 2015-2020 period of taxation without having to contest the individual assessments for each year and to avoid a tax dispute that would, in any event, be excessively costly.
The position was conclusively finalised with the signature of the deed of adhesion and the payment by AdB and TAG of a total of Euro 152 thousand in IMU tax in April 2022, with a request to exclude administrative penalties.
At the same time, on February 9, 2022, a tax appeal has been filed against the Land Registry and Tax Administration to contest the classification of December 13, 2021, for which we fundamentally dispute the assumptions and justifications. On May 18, 2022, the appeal was filed with the Bologna Provincial Tax Commission for the purpose of settling the dispute, following the rejection of the attempted mediation communicated together with a draft of the counter arguments of the other party. On June 3, 2022, the Tax Agency - Bologna Provincial Office filed Counterclaims to the Appeal. The Parent Company's legal team has filed various rebuttals to the Office's Counterclaims in further illustration and emphasis of the arguments made in the introductory appeal.
The hearing on the merits before the competent Tax Commission was held on March 7, 2023, the outcome of which was favourable, with the Tax Court of First Instance of Bologna - with ruling No. 123/2023 filed on March 13, 2023 - having accepted the Group's reasons in full, ruling - disregarding all contrary objections - for the annulment of the contested act and compensating for costs.
On October 11, 2023, the Italian Tax Agency - Bologna Provincial Branch nevertheless submitted an appeal, challenging the favourable result issued by the Tax Court of First Instance. On December 6, 2023, the Parent Company's legal team submitted the appropriate counterclaims by the legal deadlines, in order to further illustrate the arguments supporting the positions of the Parent Company.
With regard to the further request for classification to category "D" notified on October 25, 2022 to the Parent Company, in terms of which on March 27, 2023 the Company initiated legal proceedings before the Bologna Tax Court of First Instance (CGT) via an electronically filed notification of appeal.
On April 17, 2024, section 1 of the Bologna CGT, with ruling no. 350/2024 of 17/07/2024, fully upheld AdB's appeal and, consequently, cancelled the contested category assessment notice, finding, in the opinion of the Court, that the correct cadastral category for the disputed building is E/1. On February 13, 2025, the Agency served an Appeal against the first instance decision favourable to AdB. On March 28, 2025, the Parent Company proceeded to file, within the legal deadlines, a counterclaim against the Office's appeal and a request for the case to be heard in open court.
As long as the land registry dispute continues, pending a final judgment regarding classification, the Group will pay the relevant IMU taxes if and insofar as the buildings are classified in a category other than "E" according to the land registry. Subsequently, within the terms of the law, the Group will make claims for reimbursement of the amount paid.

In relation to the resolutions passed by the Transport Regulation Authority (hereinafter "TRA") relating to charges and fees for the regulatory period 2023-2026, an extraordinary appeal was submitted to the Head of State, subsequently brought before the Regional Administrative Court of Piedmont Turin (RG 820/2023) by DHL Express (Italy) Srl, FedEx Express Italy Srl, and United Parcel Service Italia Srl ("jointly the couriers") against the TRA, the Ministry for the Economy and Finance, the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transportation, and towards AdB, for the annulment, inter alia, of TRA Resolution No. 82/2023 of April 28, 2023, on the proposed revision of some airport fees of Bologna Guglielmo Marconi Airport for the 2023-2026 tariff period. In October 2023, the Parent Company granted a legal defence mandate, having also identified the main arguments to defend the procedural acts for which the plaintiffs seek annulment, as established in the related judgement.
With ruling No. 208/2025, filed on January 24 2025, the Piedmont Regional Administrative Court rejected the appeal of the couriers in full.
An appeal to the Council of State was filed by the losing party in relation to the aforementioned judgment. The appeal was filed on April 28, 2025 with General Role No. 3357-2025.
The Parent Company will continue to defend its legitimate interests.

In relation, finally, to the extraordinary administration of Alitalia, the Group assessed the potential liability related to the revocation of receivables arising in the six months before the procedure, for an amount of Euro 2.01 million (gross of municipal surtaxes for passenger boarding fee surtaxes previously paid to the relevant authorities). At the preparation date of this document, and specifically taking account of the information noted and the defensive arguments against the advanced action, the Directors, having met with the appointed lawyers, considered it appropriate to provide disclosure in the Notes, without making any accrual, while at the same time continuing its defensive action. The Extraordinary Administrators expressed their willingness to reach a settlement that would call for the Company's acknowledgment of a portion of the sum subject to the legal proceedings, which would be offset against part of the receivable already admitted as a preferential claim in the liabilities of the Procedure itself. In this regard, productive discussions are underway between the Parties in order to settle the dispute, without prejudice to their respective legitimate interests and asserted legal positions.
Lastly, qualified contingent liabilities with a risk of loss exist in relation to an independent lawyer. To date, no litigation has been initiated in this regard.
At the preparation date of this Report, there are no further updates to be made.
No events have occurred subsequent to the end of the half year that would require changes in terms of the presented performance or equity and financial position and that would therefore necessitate adjustments and/or additional disclosures in the financial statements with reference to the amounts reported at June 30.
On May 14, 2025, AdB received a questionnaire from the Emilia Romagna Regional Tax Office - Large Taxpayers Office (the
Aeroporto Guglielmo Marconi di Bologna S.p.A. 89
"Office") - pursuant to Article 32 of Presidential Decree 600/72. This questionnaire invited it to submit all documentation required to prove the eligibility, current nature and inherent nature of the costs used to determine the research and development tax credits indicated in the declaration for the years 2015 to 2017, inclusive, and used as offsets. The Company complied within the legal deadlines regarding the documentation required by the questionnaire and to date, no further communication and/or documentation has been further requested and/or received.
The new P6 Smart multi-storey car park was officially opened on July 22. This is a modern, convenient and technologically advanced facility that significantly expands the airport's parking capacity, offering: 1,000 additional parking spaces across 8 levels of around 3,300m2 each, occupancy indicators for each space, real-time displays on available spaces, and fully electronic payments. All floors except the top one are covered and lined with more than 3,500 square metres of sheeting to provide shade and good natural ventilation of the spaces. The steel used in the structure was produced by an electric furnace process and powered by renewable energy, leading to a reduction inCO2 emissions compared to traditional methods. This choice was made to bring the company increasingly in line with the criteria of the European Taxonomy for Climate Change Mitigation. The second car park is a twin of the first and will double the current structure with eight more levels connected by a structural joint. Completion is expected in H2 2026.
From Monday, July 28, Bologna Airport, along with only four other Italian airports (Milan Malpensa, Milan Linate, Rome Fiumicino, and Turin) has applied the new ECAC regulations regarding liquids in carry-on baggage: passengers may carry up to 2 litres of liquids, aerosols or gels per single container. The new EDS C3 x-ray machines allow electronic devices and liquids to be left inside hand luggage for faster, stress-free passage through security.
Work on the redevelopment of the West Staff car park that began on January 27 was also completed in late July.
The car park provides 400 parking spaces, 10 of which are reserved for people with disabilities, and 45 dedicated motorcycle spaces. It is active 24 hours a day and is accessed using automatic licence plate reading
