Milan, October 29th, 2025-The Board of Directors of Davide Campari-Milano N.V. (Reuters CPRI.MI-Bloomberg CPR IM) approved the additional financial information report for the nine months ended September 30th, 2025.
Campari Group delivered a resilient performance in the first nine months of 2025, supported by growth across all regions in the third quarter with solid momentum despite the challenging operating backdrop. In the same period, profitability benefitted from gross margin accretion and visible effect of SG&A savings more than offsetting increased A&P investments, as planned. In this context, sell-out outperformance versus the spirits market continued in Q3 across most markets during peak season.
Simon Hunt, Chief Executive Officer: "In an ongoing challenging backdrop, we recorded a resilient organic sales growth of +4.4% in the third quarter and we remain on track. This was achieved through our commercial execution and pricing discipline, which has delivered outperformance in sell-out across most geographies where we are continuing to gain share. We remain focused on what we can control and continue to make good progress in all our strategic priorities. In particular, regarding cost containment, we see visible acceleration in our savings, while in terms of balance sheet, our financial leverage has decreased by 0.7x in the last twelve months to 2.9x. We continue to streamline assets with the disposal of our investment in the Tannico e-commerce platform and we continue to explore other disposal opportunities. Looking forward, we expect moderate organic top-line growth while our EBITadj. margin expectation of flattish organic trend now incorporates the tariff impact this year, thanks to its better absorption. We remain fully confident in the delivery of long-term sustainable growth and continuous financial deleverage.'.

For 2025 Campari Group continues to expect moderate organic topline growth assuming no further worsening of consumer confidence in Europe, especially impacting the on-trade, and in the US. Instead, for EBIT-adj. margin, Campari Group continues to expect a flattish organic trend but now with the US tariffs impact absorbed this year. EBIT-adj. margin guidance is driven by a slightly lower than previously guided tariff impact (now estimated at c.€15 million in 2025 due to the benefit of our inventory position, assuming tariff stability with an annualized impact of €37 million) and the benefit of efficiency gains in COGS and SG&A, more than offsetting re-investments in A&P in the third quarter. Additionally, Campari Group remains on track to deliver 50bps improvement in SG&A margin on net sales in the first year of its cost containment plan supported by value reduction of SG&A in the fourth quarter. The impact of FX and perimeter on EBIT-adj. margin is expected to be limited overall.
Medium-term guidance remains confirmed. Campari Group remains confident to continue to achieve outperformance vs competition and market share gains leveraging its strong brands in growing categories with a gradual return in the medium-term to mid-to-high single digit organic net sales growth trajectory in a normalised macro environment. Gross margin is expected to benefit from sales growth, positive sales mix driven by aperitifs, tequila and premiumization across the portfolio, as well as COGS efficiencies. Accretion of EBIT margin will be mainly supported by key cost containment initiatives delivering 200bps overall organic benefit of SG&A to net sales in 3 years.

core US, in line with other major players in the category. Sparkling wines and vermouth grew +2% and the rest of the portfolio declined by -4%.
Group sales totalled €2,281 million, up +0.2% on a reported basis and +1.5% in organic terms. The perimeter effect was +1.1% (€24 million) mainly driven by Courvoisier partly offset by agency brands and co-packing and FX effect was -2.4% (€(55) million) mainly driven by USD and Latin American currencies.
Gross profit was €1,396 million, 61.2% of net sales, up by +3.3% on a reported basis. It increased by +3.1% organically generating +90 basis points of margin accretion (Q3: +180bps accretion) supported by positive mix and ongoing benefit of input costs, especially agave, as well as contained tariff impact of €6 million (€4 million in Q3) benefitting from pre-tariff in-house inventory position.
Advertising and Promotion expenses (A&P) were €395 million, 17.3% of net sales, up by +8.0% on a reported basis. A&P increased organically by +8.7%, thus generating -110 basis points margin dilution (Q3: -90bps) driven by acceleration during peak season.
Selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) totalled €484 million, 21.2% of net sales, down by -0.7% on a reported basis. Organic growth of +0.6% generated +20bps margin accretion (Q3: +180bps accretion), with cost containment efforts progressively supporting margin.
EBIT-adjusted was €517 million, 22.7% of net sales, up by +3.6% on a reported basis. It was up organically by +1.4%, generating flat margin (Q3: +270bps) despite ongoing brand investments and incorporating contained SG&A.
Other operating income (expenses) resulted in a net expense of €41.9 million. The amount mainly reflected the impact of severance payments to the CFOO, including the Last Mile Incentive, following the consensual termination of his CFOO responsibilities and in line with the remuneration policy and existing agreements. These non-recurrent payments totalled €33.8 million, of which €31.2 million accrued in 2025. The liability is projected to be mostly settled in the fourth quarter of 2025. Additionally, other operating expenses included an asset impairment related to a plant disposal in the first quarter.
Total financial expenses were €(80) million with increase compared to 9M 2024 driven by higher average net debt (€2,365 million vs €2,071 million last year) and the base effect of Courvoisier closing on cash and debt. Average cost of net debt was at 4.3% versus 3.7% in 9M 2024.
Group pre-tax profit-adjusted was €440 million, down by -2.6%. Group pre-tax profit was €399 million, down by -5.7%.
Net financial debt at €2,241 million as of September 30th 2025, improving versus December 31st 2024 by €(136) million thanks to positive cash generation, and before further benefit from the proceeds of the Cinzano disposal. Net debt to EBITDA-adj. at 2.9x including earn-outs and put-options for a total amount of €152 million.
