LETTER TO STAKEHOLDERS

ANNUAL REPORT 2025

DEAR STAKEHOLDER,

2025 was a year of evolution for Amplifon in a hearing care market that faced a complex phase at the global level. In an environment marked by growth below historical levels due mainly to the well-known macroeconomic and geopolitical uncertainties that affected the confidence of our patients, our Group responded with determination, transforming industry challenges into opportunities. Our objective remains to strengthen our growth trajectory, making it increasingly sustainable and profitable in the medium term.

Consolidated revenues for the year reached €2.4 billion, up 1.7% at constant exchange rates, with a significant improvement in the second half of the year, during which organic growth returned steadily to positive territory. Despite external pressures and lower operating leverage, adjusted EBITDA amounted to €540 million and adjusted net profit to €159 million.

These are solid results, considering the environment in which we operate, and allow us to propose a dividend of 29 euro cents per share.

We continued – especially in the first half of the year – our international expansion, acquiring around 250 hearing care centers across Europe, the United States, and China. At the same time, we continued to innovate the customer experience by extending the Amplifon Product Experience to 17 countries and launching the new App, which has already reached a 25% penetration rate.

Starting from mid year, in line with the external scenario, we focused our priorities on the new 'Fit4Growth' program. The initiative, aimed at maximizing efficiency and profitability, provided clear strategic direction: we rigorously prioritized high return projects, reducing Capex by €30 million while preserving strategic investments. The program also included a streamlining of the network (with the closure or consolidation of 160 clinics) and a strategic review of the portfolio, which led, in early 2026, to the divesture of our UK operations, allowing greater focus on core, higher potential markets.

Our commitment to excellence is also reflected in the ESG agenda and in the development of the Listening Ahead sustainability plan. Over the course of 2025, we achieved important milestones in our climate strategy: we obtained the SBTi validation of our climate targets, reduced total emissions by 14%, and increased the share of energy from renewable sources to 83%.

This sustainability path is closely linked to our social mission, which advanced further with the internationalization of the Amplifon Foundation. After consolidating its presence in Italy, France, Switzerland, Australia, Belgium, and Portugal, the Foundation expanded this year to Spain, extending its social inclusion programs for senior communities to a new key country for the Group.

This focus on creating shared value is made possible by the dedication of our people, who represent our most important asset. In 2025 alone, we delivered around 600,000 hours of training, confirming our constant attention to skill development and professional growth. This commitment, together with other important initiatives, enabled us to obtain the Global Top Employer 2026 certification, an excellence recognition awarded to only a small number of organizations worldwide.

We enter 2026 with renewed enthusiasm and with a stronger, simpler, and more focused organization – ready to generate sustainable value and continue investing to help millions of people around the world rediscover, every day, the emotion of sound. We thank all of you – shareholders, colleagues, partners, customers, and communities – for your ongoing trust and support.

CONSOLIDATED SUSTAINABILITY STATEMENT

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

MARKET

The global retail hearing care market is estimated at over 18 billion euros in 2025, with growth expected in the medium and long-term thanks to its solid fundamentals and secular trends. It is a highly fragmented market, although in consolidation, in which Amplifon holds a global leadership position with around 13% market share. Currently over 1.5 billion people have some degree of hearing loss across the world. Among those, it is estimated that at least 430 million people have a hearing loss that would require rehabilitation. By 2050 they will be 700 million 3. The United Nations estimates that the number of people aged above 60 years old will increase from the current 1.1 billion (14% of global population) to 2.1 billion (22%) by 2050 4, determining a considerable increase in the number of seniors who could develop hearing difficulties, both due to increasing life expectancy and higher exposure to acoustic pollution (currently over 1 billion people under 35 years old are at risk of avoidable hearing loss). Finally, untreated hearing loss can negatively impact people's health, leading to cognitive decline, depression, and falls. Today it represents a global annual cost of approximately 1 trillion US dollars, linked to health sector spending, lost productivity, and related social costs. Notwithstanding these implications, hearing aids adoption rate (the ratio between how many people use a hearing aid and how many would need one) is still very low, estimated at around 40% in high-income countries and between 5 and 10% in emerging economies 5 .

DIGITALIZATION

The use of digital devices, such as smartphones and tablets, is rapidly increasing also among seniors. This makes it possible to offer personalized and interconnected value-added services through new touchpoints such as apps.

RESILIENCE

The importance of hearing well for people's overall health makes the reference market resilient even in periods of deep economic crisis. In addition, consumers in many countries, mainly characterized by retirees with fixed incomes, can still rely on both government reimbursement and consumer credit to finalize their purchases. KNOW MORE

LIFE EXPECTANCY

KEY DRIVERS

Increase in life expectancy is a fact. In 2018, for the first time in the history of mankind, the number of people aged over 65 exceeded the number of children under 5 years old. By 2050, it is estimated that 2.1 billion people will be 60 years old or more.

ACTIVE LIFESTYLE

People nowadays have a much longer life expectancy than the previous generations and their quality of life is much higher. The socalled active agers represent a new generation that won't compromise on quality of life as the years go by.

TECHNOLOGY

Advances in technology such as miniaturization, connectivity, rechargeability, and artificial intelligence contribute towards the higher intake and accessibility of hearing devices. Thus, more and more people decide to take care of their own hearing.

DIGITAL INNOVATION

AMPLIFON PRODUCT EXPERIENCE

Amplifon Product Experience, namely the Amplifon Product Line, represents a unique lever to further strengthen the brand identity, differentiate the service offered, and deliver a complete value proposition made of product, service and experience.

The Amplifon multichannel ecosystem is a cutting-edge system that uses digital technologies and big data to collect and analyze information on the use of hearing devices, as well as feedback and needs from consumers, employing them to offer a unique, customized, and distinctive experience.

and Amplifon Hearing Health Care -, Australia, United Kingdom, Belgium, Portugal, New Zealand, Switzerland, Argentina, Chile, Ecuador, Colombia and China), where the penetration rate of the private and paid-up market reaches around 95% within a few months from the launch.

Within the ecosystem, the Amplifon App is the first touchpoint for consumers and allows to support them also remotely. Completely redesigned in 2025, the new Amplifon App is an integrated digital platform, capable of accompanying the person throughout the entire hearing care journey, a digital hub for hearing health, which integrates technology, accessibility and patient support.

With a penetration of 25%, above the previous version, the new App allows users to take a hearing test and manage device functions in real time directly from their smartphone (such as volume, background noise reduction and focus on speech). Thanks to video tutorials and a chatbot based on generative artificial intelligence, it also offers immediate support to solve small issues and allows to easily set an appointment with the person's hearing care professional. The new version of the App has improved ratings compared to the previous one: 4.5 on Android and 4.6 on iOS on a scale 0-5, compared to the previous 4.2 and 4.4. With the aim of making the business even more sustainable, the Company re-imagined the packaging of the Amplifon Product Line in 2024, making it entirely reusable and made by over 70% of recycled materials, bearing in consideration its sustainability footprint and how useful it can be to the final customer. Since then the roll-out of the new packaging has already reached 16 countries: Italy, Spain, Germany, Switzerland, Belgium, the Netherlands, France, Portugal, the UK, New Zealand, Australia, Chile, Argentina, Ecuador, Colombia and China.

STATEMENT

AMPLI-CARE

Amplifon's platform to deliver a revolutionary and personalized audiological care experience, within the clinics and at every step of the customer journey.

With Ampli-care, a full ecosystem is activated around the customer, in which the unrivaled quantity and quality of data Amplifon possesses, as well as digital technologies play a key role in delivering a unique, innovative, and engaging experience along a seamless audiological care journey across all touchpoints.

AMPLI-CARE IS BASED ON THREE PILLARS

IMMERSIVE EXPERIENCE

Within Ampli-care, the clinics, the primary touchpoint in the customer journey, are completely revolutionized thanks to the new immersive store format which is being progressively rolled-out as part of our internal renovation program. Currently present in around 630 clinics worldwide, the new format aims at offering consumers a unique experience and reinforcing Amplifon's global brand also through an innovative architectural design. It focuses on both the retail area, consisting of the reception and the waiting area, with product displays, as well as the Solution Room, where the customer remains at the center, between the caregiver and the hearing care professional, while enjoying an immersive experience also through visual and digital elements. Thanks to its modular design for a scalable approach, it fits the needs of all the different locations around the world. The clinics are also being equipped with an innovative diagnostic tool (the so-called Otopad, the first and only Ipad-based audiometer, developed internally) to provide interactive and engaging touch-based experiences, perform sophisticated audiological tests, as well as standardize the quality of service provided at the highest level and optimize hearing care professionals' time.

HYPERPERSONALIZED SOLUTIONS

Thanks to the adoption of technologies that foster an indepth 360° knowledge of the single customer through an omnichannel approach, Ampli-care provides more and more elements to hearing care professionals to offer a hyperpersonalized service and experience. Ampli-care also supports them in identifying the best solution for each customer through a proprietary system called "solution builder engine", already present in clinics across Spain, the United Kingdom, and Belgium.

This technology allows them to identify and propose the most suitable product, service offering and fitting for each customer, based on the audiological profile and personal information gathered during the visit and through other touchpoints.

ALWAYS CONNECTED SUPPORT

Thanks to a complex remote monitoring and support system, Amplifon hearing care professionals are always connected to intercept hearing solutions usage trends and specific customer needs. Thus, they are able to support customers also when they are not in the clinic.

AMPLIFON X

Amplifon X is the internal start-up entirely dedicated to the Group's digital innovation and reseacrh & development strategy. It is responsible for the software design and the endto-end development of highly innovative digital solutions to enhance the service offered in-clinic and, most importantly, remotely. With a team fully devoted to innovation, Amplifon X enables the Company to continue to redefine the standards of the audiological experience globally, consolidating its significant competitive advantage and creating a unique and unmatchable experience for both customers and hearing care professionals.

REPORT ON OPERATIONS

AMPLIFON 360 PROTOCOL

Much more than a simple test: it is a journey tailored around each person.

The success of hearing solutions relies above all on Amplifon's hearing care specialist's ability to perform hearing tests, select the most suitable devices among the most advanced technologies by the best manufacturers worldwide, and correctly fit them based on each single person's needs. For this very reason the Company conceived Amplifon 3606, the patented clinic protocol that, through its data-driven approach, employs pioneering tools and user-friendly technologies to assess hearing quality and guides hearing care professionals towards the identification of the best hearing solution for each person's needs.

Amplifon 360 increases customers' involvement in the hearing evaluation process, improving the analysis of their needs and individual lifestyles. The protocol is illustrated to the customer with the support of digital applications through a video interface that allows the customer to enjoy an immersive experience, understand their hearing requirements and the benefits of the proposed hearing solution. As evidence of its benefits, the Amplifon 360 protocol was approved by SIAF (the Italian society of audiology and phoniatrics) and patented in the US, Australia, and Europe, thus certifying its uniqueness and novelty, as well as demonstrating its importance in the development of hearing care. Amplifon 360, thanks to the free hearing tests offered to anyone entering Amplifon's clinics, further increases accessibility to hearing care to several people thereby generating a considerable economic saving for customers, prospects, and community in general.

CONSOLIDATED SUSTAINABILITY STATEMENT

DEBT & CREDIT RATING

Amplifon leverages on a solid financial structure capable of supporting its growth. Objectives and future opportunities also thanks to a strong cash flow generation. In order to ensure consistency between its financial structure and strategic objectives, the Company diversifies the debt composition and maturity.

FINANCIAL STRUCTURE

The Company obtained a strong cash generation in 2025 with adjusted operating cash flow at 291.2 million euros and adjusted free cash flow at 174.4 million euros, after capex of around 117 million euros. This result allowed to finance cash-outs for acquisitions for 62.2 million euros, share buybacks for 108.2 million euros, and dividend distribution for 65.3 million euros. As of December 31st, 2025, the Group has liquidity of 308.9 million euros versus gross financial debt, excluding lease liabilities, of 1,354.4 million euros.

The medium to long-term component of debt amounts to 72.9% of the total debt, while the short-term is 27.1%. Around 80% of the debt can be considered fixed-rate debt since most of the variable-rate debt is swapped. During the year, the average cost of debt was around 2.6 %.

Amplifon enjoys an average debt maturity of approximately two and a half years and a strong headroom (available liquidity and committed credit lines) totaling around 940 million euros.

BANKING MARKET

Throughout 2025 Amplifon subscribed five new credit facilities for a total amount of €400 million with primary banking institutions such as Intesa Sanpaolo, Banco BPM, ING Italia and Banca Popolare di Sondrio. In line with the Group's sustainability strategy, these new credit lines are linked to specific indicators of the Sustainability Plan, which if reached will activate a margin adjustment mechanism applied to the credit lines. Through these facilities, characterized by particularly favorable conditions, Amplifon further optimizes its financial structure thanks to an even more solid liquidity position, more diversified sources of funding and an extension of the average debt maturity.

DEBT CAPITAL MARKETS

On February 5th, 2020, Amplifon placed non-convertible bond notes for 350 million euros with 7-year maturity. Amplifon has a public "BB+" corporate credit rating with a stable outlook by S&P Global Ratings Europe Limited ("S&P"), the same rating is also assigned to the bond notes.

COMMENTS ON THE FINANCIAL RESULTS

In 2025, the Amplifon Group recorded total revenues of €2,396 million, up at constant exchange rates despite a still weak market affected by deteriorating macroeconomic and geopolitical factors, while at current exchange rates they were substantially in line with those recorded in the same period of 2024 due to the strong negative impact of exchange rates.

Specifically, the financial year closed with:

  • Revenues of €2,395,705 thousand, down -0.6% compared to the same period of the previous year (+1.7% at constant exchange rates);
  • EBITDA of €511,645 thousand, down €49,445 thousand (-8.8%), with the EBITDA margin at 21.4% (-1.9 p.p. compared to the same period last year);
  • Adjusted EBITDA amounted to €540,435 thousand, down €25,617 thousand (-4.5%), with EBITDA adjusted margin at 22.6% (-0.9 p.p. compared to the same period last year);
  • Profit (loss) attributable to the Group amounted to €91,334 thousand, down €54,040 thousand (-37.2%) compared to 2024 due to higher depreciation, amortization, and financial expenses;
  • Adjusted Group profit (loss) amounted to €159,161 thousand, down €28,970 thousand (-15.4%) compared to 2024 due to higher depreciation, amortization and financial expenses.

In order to address market weakness and challenges, the Group launched, starting from the second quarter of 2025, a comprehensive performance improvement program aimed at increasing profitability and strengthening the Company's competitive position (hereinafter "Fit4Growth"). The program adopts a proactive approach to the weak macroeconomic and geopolitical environment, which has affected market demand, with the objective of transforming challenges into development opportunities. "Fit4Growth" is structured around four main areas of intervention:

  • Improvement of sales network efficiency, through targeted consolidations, selective closures of underperforming clinics and initiatives aimed at further enhancing productivity;
  • Optimisation of back-office processes and organisational efficiency;
  • Structural containment of operating costs and rigorous prioritisation of high-return projects, while preserving strategic investments;
  • Strategic review of the business portfolio, with greater focus on core segments and capital allocation towards higher-return areas.

The plan envisages an improvement in the adjusted EBITDA margin in the highend of the range of 150-200 basis points by 2027. Total non-recurring cash costs for the implementation of the plan are estimated at approximately €25 million, to be incurred between 2025 and 2026.

During 2025, EBITDA was impacted by charges of €8,669 thousand related to the Fit4Growth program, allocated as follows:

  • €6,092 thousand relating to employee termination incentives, mainly associated with improving the efficiency of the sales network as well as the implementation of a series of actions to align the back-office structure, resulting in an overall headcount reduction of approximately 230 employees during 2025;
  • €2,577 thousand relating to strategic consultancy fees and other charges.

During 2025, EBIT was impacted, in addition to the effects described in the commentary on EBITDA, by €5,041 thousand relating to impairment charges following the closure of approximately 160 underperforming hearing centres, allocated as follows:

  • €2,845 thousand relating to impairment of buildings, leasehold improvements, computer and office equipment, furniture and fixtures;
  • €2,160 thousand relating to impairment of right-of-use assets;
  • €36 thousand relating to impairment of customer lists.

REVENUES PERFORMANCE

Consolidated revenues from sales and services in 2025 amounted to €2,395,705 thousand, a slight decrease (-0.6%) compared to 2024. The negative change of €13,536 thousand is mainly attributable to exchange rate fluctuations, which had a negative impact of €54,330 thousand (-2.3%). The changes in the perimeter changes contributed positively by €42,009 thousand (+1.7%): the contribution of acquisitions was partially offset by the effect of the first network optimizations carried out under the Fit4Growth program, which involved the closure of approximately 160 underperforming clinics and the significant rationalization of activities related to the indirect sales channels of the Chinese subsidiary Hangzhou Amplifon Hearing Aid Co. Ltd. Organic performance was substantially in line with the comparative period.

PROFITABILITY PERFORMANCE

EBITDA for the 2025 financial year amounted to €511,645 thousand, down €49,445 thousand (-8.8%) compared to 2024, while the EBITDA margin stood at 21.4%, down 1.9 p.p.

The result for the period was affected by net charges of €28,790 thousand relating to unusual, infrequent or unrelated elements, more specifically:

  • €502 thousand for transaction and integration costs for acquisitions and changes (positive or negative) in earn-out;
  • €10.551 thousand for charges and write-off related to corporate and network reorganization, as well as other efficiency projects and changes in Top management;
  • €526 thousand for gain and loss on disposal of assets and/or businesses, write-off and revaluation of fixed assets;
  • €18.263 thousand for other unusual, infrequent or unrelated income and expenses above an amount of €1m in a quarter, or above €2m across multiple quarters.

In 2024, the impact of net charges amounted to €4,962 thousand.

Net of these items, adjusted EBITDA came to €540,435 thousand in 2025, a decrease against the comparison period of €25,617 thousand (-4.5%). The EBITDA adjusted margin was 0.9 p.p. lower than in the comparison period, coming in at 22.6%.

NET FINANCIAL POSITION CHANGES

Net financial debt, excluding lease liabilities, as at 31 December 2025 amounted to €1,045,483 thousand, an increase of €83,678 thousand compared to 31 December 2024. In 2025, free cash flow was positive for €159,909 thousand (compared to €175,855 thousand in the previous year), after €116,724 thousand in capital expenditure (€145,035 thousand in the comparative period). Net cash-outs for acquisitions (€62,264 thousand compared to €192,531 thousand in 2024), negative cash flows relating to the purchase of treasury shares (€108,207 thousand compared to €25,396 thousand in 2024), together with cash outflows relating to dividend payments (€65,302 thousand compared to €65,593 thousand in the comparative period), resulted in an overall negative cash flow of €76,773 thousand, compared to negative €104,307 thousand in 2024.

Free cash flow, net of cash outflows relating to unusual, infrequent or unrelated items, amounted to €174,428 thousand compared to €182,044 thousand in the previous year.

As at 31 December 2025, gross debt, excluding lease liabilities, amounted to €1,354,365 thousand, of which €987,968 thousand relates to the long-term component. The short-term component amounted to €366,397 thousand and is partially offset by cash and cash equivalents totalling €308,882 thousand. Unutilized irrevocable credit lines amounted to a total of €480 million; the unutilized portion of the loan signed with the European Investment Bank amounted to €150 million; and other available uncommitted credit lines totalled €262 million. Overall, including cash on hand and available credit lines, the Group has a liquidity reserve of approximately €1.2 billion. **28 29**AMPLIFON AT A GLANCE REPORT ON OPERATIONS CONSOLIDATED SUSTAINABILITY STATEMENT CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Including lease liabilities of €486,316 thousand, total net financial debt amounted to €1,531,799 thousand (€1,476,142 thousand as at 31 December 2024).

It should be noted that during the first half of 2025 the last credit lines subject to financial covenants matured and/or were repaid; accordingly, from June 2025 the Group is no longer subject to any financial covenants.

(*) Dividend proposed by the Board of Directors to the Shareholders' Meeting on 23 April 2026.

Starting from 2025, in order to facilitate the understanding of the Group's economic financial performance and in line with market practice, a change was made to the representation of Alternative Performance Measures (APM) used by the Top management to monitor the Group's economic, financial and operating performance. The Group reports certain indicators as "adjusted" in order to present the Group's operating performance net of items (income and expenses) that are unusual, infrequent or not related to the operating performance. This will allow an analysis of the strictly operational performance of the Group. The Group also determined the same indicators for the comparison period in the same way.

This section outlines the main economic and financial indicators used by Top Management to monitor the Group's performance, which represent alternatives to indicators defined or specified under the applicable financial reporting framework. For a proper interpretation of such APMs, the following should be noted:

  • the APMs are built based on historical data and are not indicative of the Group's future performance. More specifically, they are taken from the Group's consolidated financial statements;
  • where applicable, the APMs are determined in accordance with the ESMA Guidelines on Alternative Performance Measures of 5 October 2015 (2015/1415) as per CONSOB Notice n. 92543 of 3 December 2015, the ESMA Guidelines on Alternative Performance Measures (APMs) of 17 April 2020 and Section 3 of ESMA's "European common enforcement priorities for 2022 annual financial reports of 28 October 2022"; **30 31**AMPLIFON AT A GLANCE REPORT ON OPERATIONS CONSOLIDATED SUSTAINABILITY STATEMENT CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
    • the APMs are not regulated by the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) applied by the Group and, while based on the Group's consolidated financial statements, they are not subject to any audits or limited review by the external auditors;
    • the APMs should not be viewed as substitutes for the indicators called for under the IFRS;
    • the financial information included in the Group's consolidated financial statements should be taken into account when making any interpretations of these APMs;
    • as the APMs used by the Group are not based on specific accounting standards, they could differ from those used by other groups and, therefore, are not comparable;
    • the APMs used by the Group are consistent across all the reporting periods for which financial information is provided in this document.

These "Adjusted" components can be grouped into the following categories, as identified by the top management:

  • Transaction and integration costs for acquisitions and changes (positive or negative) in earn-out;
  • Charges and write-off related to corporate and network reorganization, as well as other efficiency projects and changes in Top management;
  • Gain and loss on disposal of assets and/or businesses, write-off and revaluation of fixed assets;
  • Amortization of fixed assets accounted in phase of Purchase Price Allocation;
  • Financial income (loss) related to inflation accounting (IAS 29) and Fair Value changes resulting from modifications and/or non-cash accretion of financial liabilities (IFRS 9);
  • Other unusual, infrequent or unrelated income and expenses above an amount of €1m in a quarter, or above €2m across multiple quarters.

The Alternative Performance Measures identified by the Group can be defined as follows:

  • • Gross operating profit (EBITDA) represents the Net profit (loss) attributable to the Group adjusted by: i) current and deferred income taxes; ii) financial income, expenses and value adjustments to financial assets; iii) amortization, depreciation and impairment.
  • • Gross operating profit (EBITDA) Adjusted represents the Net profit (loss) attributable to the Group adjusted by: i) current and deferred income taxes; ii) financial income, expenses and value adjustments to financial assets; iii) amortization, depreciation and impairment; iv) items (income and expenses) that are unusual, infrequent or not related to the operating performance.

The decrease of €13,536 thousand is mainly attributable to exchange rate movements, which had a negative impact of €54,330 thousand (-2.3%). The change in perimeter contributed positively overall for €42,009 thousand (+1.7%): the contribution from acquisitions carried out was partially offset by the initial network optimisation measures implemented under the Fit4Growth program, which led to the closure of approximately 160 underperforming hearing care centres and the significant rationalisation of activities relating to the indirect sales channels of the Chinese subsidiary Hangzhou Amplifon Hearing Aid Co. Ltd. Organic performance was substantially in line with the comparative period.

The revenues of the Argentinian subsidiary reflect the inflation accounting used in accordance with IAS 29 (Inflation Accounting), which had a positive impact on organic performance (+0.1%) and a negative in foreign exchange differences (-0.1%).

More in detail, revenues for EMEA were higher than in 2024, with an acceleration in the organic performance in the second half of the year; AMERICAS reported solid, above-market organic growth despite a challenging comparison base, alongside a positive contribution from the acquisitions in the United States; despite the significant improvement seen in the last quarter, the performance of the APAC region reflects the underlying market softness and the negative perimeter change impact related to the Fit4Growth efficiency program, as well as the strong comparison base.

In the fourth quarter alone, consolidated revenues from sales and services amounted to €651,882 thousand, a decrease of €12,526 thousand (-1.9%) compared to the fourth quarter of 2024. The positive contributions of the organic performance (€3,677 thousand or +0.6%) and changes in perimeter (€5,439 thousand or +0.8%) and, that include the contribution of acquisition made and the effect of the disposal described above were more than offset by €21,642 thousand (-3.3%) in foreign exchange differences.

The fourth quarter revenues of the Argentinian subsidiary reflect the inflation accounting used in accordance with IAS 29 (Inflation Accounting), which had a negative impact on organic performance (-0.2%), without impacts on foreign exchange differences.

Sales and service revenues for 2025 amounted to €1,554,720 thousand, representing an increase of €23,436 thousand (+1.5%) compared to the previous year. The increase is attributable to the contribution from the change in perimeter amounting to €31,736 thousand (+2.0%): the contribution from acquisitions – including the first-time consolidation of the Polish subsidiary Amplifon Aparaty Słuchowe Sp. z o.o., acquired at the beginning of March – was partially offset by the initial network optimisation actions implemented under the Fit4Growth program. Organic performance was overall negative at €9,417 thousand (-0.6%), while foreign exchange movements contributed marginally, with a positive impact of €1,117 thousand (+0.1%).

In the fourth quarter, consolidated sales and service revenues amounted to €436,380 thousand, up by €6,809 thousand (+1.6%) compared to the prior-year period. The increase is mainly attributable to the contribution from the change in perimeter of €4,842 thousand (+1.2%): the positive contribution from acquisitions was partially offset by the initial network optimisation measures implemented under the Fit4Growth program. Organic performance contributed positively for €1,809 thousand (+0.4%), while foreign exchange movements had a marginal positive impact of €158 thousand.

INVESTMENTS

In 2025 Amplifon Group continued with its growth strategy and invested more than €116 million.

During FY 2025, the Group continued its investment program in innovation and digitalisation, focusing resources on stabilising the systems and technological infrastructures developed in previous years, with the aim of increasing control over operating activities. These initiatives include the consolidation of the Symphony project (focused on delivering a highly personalised customer experience) in Spain and Belgium, the start of implementation activities in Australia, and the optimisation of in-store systems and tools supporting the Amplifon Product Experience and the Next protocol. This effort was further reflected in improvements to operating and back-office processes through the exploration of potential solutions enabled by AI, with attention also to systems aimed at streamlining procurement, marketing and Group administration, and to the centralisation of purchasing. Total investments in this area reached approximately €73 million.

In addition, the Group continued the development of the distribution network by renewing and relocating existing points of sale for a total investment of almost €43 million.

(*) Net financial indebtedness excluding lease liabilities/EBITDA for the leverage calculation is the ratio of net financial indebtedness, excluding lease liabilities and short-term investments not cash equivalents, to EBITDA for the last four quarters (determined with reference to usual, frequent or related to the operating performance operations only, based on pro forma figures in case of significant changes to the structure of the Group).

Net financial debt, excluding lease liabilities, as at 31 December 2025 amounted to €1,045,483 thousand, an increase of €83,678 thousand compared to 31 December 2024. In 2025, free cash flow was positive for €159,909 thousand (compared to €175,855 thousand in the previous year), after absorbing net operating investments of €116,724 thousand (€145,035 thousand in the comparative period). Net cash outflows for acquisitions (€62,246 thousand compared to €192,531 thousand in 2024), negative cash flows relating to the purchase of treasury shares (€108,207 thousand compared to €25,396 thousand in 2024), together with cash outflows relating to dividend payments (€65,302 thousand compared to €65,593 thousand in the comparative period), resulted in an overall negative cash flow of €76,773 thousand, compared to negative €104,307 thousand in 2024.

Free cash flow, net of the above-mentioned net cash outflows relating to unusual, infrequent or unrelated items, amounted to €174,428 thousand compared to €182,044 thousand in the previous year.

It should be noted that during the first half of 2025 the last credit lines subject to financial covenants matured and/or were repaid; accordingly, from June 2025 the Group is no longer subject to any financial covenants.

During the reporting period 2025, Amplifon also refined the following operations which are not subject to financial covenants:

  • in March 2025, Amplifon S.p.A. signed a 5-year, sustainability linked, credit facility with Intesa Sanpaolo totaling €175 million, comprised of a €100 million revolving credit line and a €75 million long term loan. The new financing was used to refinance, and increase, a pre-existing line expiring in 2026;
  • in April 2025, Amplifon S.p.A. finalized a sustainability-linked facility with Banco BPM for a total amount of €100 million, comprised of a €50 million revolving credit line and a long-term credit line of the same amount. The new facility was used to refinance expiring credit lines;
  • in June 2025, Amplifon S.p.A. signed a €75 million, 5-year, sustainability-linked, credit facility with ING Italia;
  • in June 2025, Amplifon S.p.A. also signed a €50 million, 5-year, sustainability-linked facility with Banca Popolare di Sondrio, comprised of a €30 million revolving credit line and a €20 million long-term line. The new financing was used to refinance, and increase, expiring credit lines;
  • In July 2025, EIB issued a tranche of €75 million of the loan signed in 2023, bringing the unused and still available portion to €150 million.

As at 31 December 2025, the Group had cash and cash equivalents of €308,882 thousand against total gross financial debt, excluding lease liabilities, of €1,354 million.

Long-term debt, excluding lease liabilities, amounted to €987,968 thousand as at 31 December 2025 (€960,386 thousand as at 31 December 2024), an increase of €27,582 thousand compared to 2024, net of the reclassification to short-term of the existing debt falling due within the next 12 months.

The short-term debt amounted to €366,397 thousand, an increase of €76,144 thousand compared to €290,253 thousand as at 31 December 2024. Short-term debt mainly comprises: the current portion of long-term bank loans (€204,164

thousand), bank borrowings relating to hot money accounts and other short-term lines (€148,639 thousand), accrued interest on the Eurobond (€3,463 thousand) and on other bank loans (€4,476 thousand) as well as the best estimate of deferred payments for acquisitions (€5,792 thousand).

The chart below shows the debt maturities compared to:

  • the €309 million in cash and cash equivalents;
  • the €480 million unutilized portions of irrevocable credit lines;
  • the €150 million unutilized portion of the loan from the European Investment Bank supporting investments in innovation and digitalization.

The above elements together represent significant liquidity headroom for the Group.

Other available uncommitted credit lines amounted to €406 million, of which €262 million remains unutilized.

Interest payable on financial debt amounted to €38,994 thousand as at 31 December 2025 versus €38,618 thousand as at 31 December 2024.

Interest payable on leases recognized in accordance with IFRS 16 amounted to €20,680 thousand versus €19,138 thousand as at 31 December 2024.

RISK MANAGEMENT

Considering the importance of creating sustainable value for the stakeholders, we ensure that the way we carry out our business is consistent with our mission and our strategic, operational and compliance objectives, by promoting an adequate risk management process as part of our business management. Sound risk management allows for better informed business decisions, reduces the gaps between actual results and targets, and can create a competitive advantage.

Our Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) model, updated and in line with the best practices and international standards (e.g., Committee of Sponsoring Organization of Treadway Commission), as well as with the recommendations of the Corporate Governance Code, is aimed - through a structured and systematic risk assessment, monitoring and reporting process - at the effective management of the Group's main risks, as well as at providing adequate information to the stakeholders involved.

The methodology is formalized within the Company regulations through specific policies and procedures ("Enterprise Risk Management Policy" approved by the Board of Directors), which promote the proactive and integrated management of risks, leveraging existing management systems and allowing an adequate information flow to the administrative and control bodies.

The methodology entails the integration of the risks related to the main sustainability topics, including climate change-related risks, within the ERM model, in line also with the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) requirements. Such risks are included in the financial materiality analysis as part of the Double Materiality exercise, aimed at identifying the relevant sustainability topics for Amplifon for the purposes of the Consolidated Sustainability Statement. The goal is to provide a complete overview of the organization, supporting its resilience and ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) performance.

The Group's Enterprise Risk Management Framework has six components:

  • Risk Governance: structure through which the organization leads, conducts, and reports its risk management activities by defining the roles and responsibilities of the functions and bodies involved.
  • Risk Culture: values and attitude consistent with the organization's risk management culture.
  • Risk Appetite: guidelines and indicators intended to support the achievement of the Group's objectives.
  • Risk Assessment & Measurement: the process of identifying and assessing the Group's main risks.
  • Risk Management & Monitoring: activities aimed at mitigating, managing, monitoring or accepting risks.
  • Risk Reporting: reporting of risks and related information to the main internal and external stakeholders, including the Chief Executive Officer, the Risk, Control and Sustainability Committee, and the Board of Directors.

Risk management activities are coordinated and facilitated by the Group Risk Management Function, which supports the involved stakeholders (Countries, Regional Executive Vice Presidents, Corporate Executive Officers, selected Directors) in the identification, assessment, management and monitoring of the Group's main risks.

The Enterprise Risk Assessment process, as outlined within the Enterprise Risk Management Framework, is carried out annually, taking into account the Group's strategic guidelines, and includes a mid-year review during the financial year in order to incorporate any updates regarding the risks to which the organization might be exposed, while also integrating the results of any specific analyses carried out by other Company's functions (e.g., Climate Change Risk Assessment1 ).

The process includes also provides for the integration of medium and long- term analyses (3-5 years and 10 years time horizons) into the Enterprise Risk Assessment activities. The Group pays attention to monitoring possible trends and changes to the reference context, which could potentially impact the business or the industry.

Reported below are the Group's main risks, classified by relevance within the reference Risk Model categories, as well as, where applicable, the associated ESRS Topical Standard2 for ESG purposes.

CONTEXTUAL BACKDROP

During the year, Amplifon continued to carefully monitor the developments related to the macroeconomic situation, with particular focus on inflation and interest rates trends, as well as to the increasingly unstable geopolitical context, both impacting demand, economic growth and consumer confidence. This reference context, in addition to representing a specific risk factor, is interconnected with other risk elements that characterize the Group.

Within the reference competitive landscape, characterized by increasing sector consolidation and by vertical and horizontal integration dynamics observed at international level, the Group continues its growth path, combining organic development with external growth initiatives. In this regard, also extraordinary transactions represent a structural element of the development model and contribute to shaping its competitive positioning over the medium-long term. In this scenario, M&A constitutes a significant component of the strategic and operational context, also in light of the managerial, operational and regulatory complexities typically associated with such processes.

In carrying out its activities, Amplifon has also dedicated appropriate attention to sustainability matters, including aspects related to climate change2.

  1. In accordance with the recommendations of the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosure (TCFD). 2. For further information, refer to Section "Amplifon's Double Materiality" of the Consolidated Sustainability Statement. Please note that all ESG risks identified as material from the Double Materiality analysis (i.e., not only the ones presented in the current Section) have been taken into account for the purposes of the Consolidated Sustainability Statement.

External risks derive from factors exogenous to the Group.

RISKS CONNECTED WITHTHE MACROECONOMIC Details With reference to the macroeconomic scenario, inflation and interest rates trends, as well as international economic policies (e.g., trade tariffs),continue to influence, overall, economic growth, demand and various cost categories. Moreover, the current geopolitical context, affected by conflictsevolutions and political changes in several countries, generates further elements of instability and uncertainty. In general, the hearing aid market hashistorically demonstrated resilience even in times of economic crisis, in consideration of the importance and the non-discretionary nature of hearingcare, as well as of the presence of reimbursement and financing systems, which support access to hearing aids and services. However, the persistentuncertainty and volatility of the macroeconomic and geopolitical environment influence, in general, consumer confidence, potentially leading to thepostponement of the purchase of a device that would still be necessary in the medium term.
AND GEOPOLITICALCONTEXT ManagementMeasures Amplifon operates in a market segment that has historically proven a lower sensitivity to fluctuations in the general economic cycle, albeit in notdirectly comparable contexts. Despite benefitting from a broad geographical coverage of its operating activities, the Group constantly monitorsthe evolution of the macroeconomic and geopolitical environment and the related impact on the business as well as changes in the regulatoryframework.Furthermore, the Group relies on considerable negotiation power in direct and indirect procurement, as well as on its supplier diversificationstrategy in terms of sourcing and logistics. The Group also leverages on the negotiation of fixed rate financing agreements, while various efficiencyand productivity improvement actions are underway (e.g., Fit4Growth, labor cost, marketing expenses).
EVOLUTIONOF THE COMPETITIVELANDSCAPE Details The competitive landscape has shown a trend of consolidation driven by both vertical and horizontal integration of hearing aid manufacturers, aswell as by the growth of market players, including Amplifon itself. For these reasons, and also in light of the current macroeconomic context, themarket may experience increasing competition.The Group's main competitors include specialty retailers (such as hearing aid manufacturers specialty chains, and, in certain countries, localindependent players), non-specialty retailers (like optical chains, pharmacies and big box stores) which are generally low-cost providers, as well asproviders operating in sector specific insurance markets; moreover, emerging players with non-traditional solutions are also present.It's possible that these competitors may continue to pursue an expansion strategy, with potential impacts on market share and sales margins as wellas, in some cases, on the recruitment and retention of hearing care professionals and qualified store personnel.
ManagementMeasures Amplifon's strategy continues to focus on strengthening brand recognition, high quality service standards, and on the in-depth understanding ofthe consumer, also leveraging the quality of the available data, which enables a highly distinctive and innovative customer experience. Toward thisend, the Group applies sales protocols aimed at customer service excellence (e.g., Amplifon 360, Ampli-Care), also through training and awarenessprograms for store personnel and continuous after-sales assistance. An increasingly customer-centric approach enhances the so-called AmplifonProduct Experience (APE), comprising Amplifon-branded products and a multichannel ecosystem characterized by an increasingly functional App.In addition, Amplifon continues its strategy of strengthening its leadership in key markets by consolidating its role, also through an approach ofcontinuous inorganic expansion. Moreover, the Group continuously monitors technological evolution, the competitive landscape and the relatedsales trends, while also assessing the potential positive upsides in terms of hearing care awareness and stigma reduction.

STRATEGIC RISKS

Strategic risks are typical of any given business. If managed correctly they can be the source of a competitive advantage or, conversely, they can compromise the ability to reach targets.

Details Consistent with its strategy, Amplifon continues to make significant investments in marketing activities with the aim of strengthening its brands andincreasing hearing aids penetration rate with a view to an organic growth of the organization. In the face of a scenario characterized by an uncertainand volatile macroeconomic context, aspects related to increase in competition and media cost, as well as the oversaturation of digital channels,may emerge. These require activities and instruments increasingly focused on positive return on investment, leveraging both cost containment andthe effectiveness of the initiative.
MARKETINGINVESTMENTS ManagementMeasures Marketing initiatives are directed towards investments in offline media advertising (e.g., television campaigns, call center activities) and digitalchannels (e.g., Paid Advertising, Search Engine Optimization, messaging architecture, Social Media). The Group also invests in advanced CustomerRelationship Management (CRM) systems and campaigns to ensure unique and personalized customer experiences, as well as in the technologicalinnovation program, which comprises Amplifon-branded products and the multi-channel ecosystem (the "APE") in order to provide a complete valueproposition, combining product, service and experience. Furthermore, the Company is committed to adopting innovative approaches in terms ofdigital strategies, branding and advertising communication, also with the support of new specialized partners in the sector.Amplifon works to ensure that global marketing investments are efficient and effective, with particular attention to monitoring such costs and theirreturns and to assessing different investment strategies, as well as the selected media mix.
TECHNOLOGICALEVOLUTION OF THEOPERATING MODEL Details The potential development of innovative technologies/services and of alternative solutions to the hearing aid for core customers (e.g., newtechnologies, new pharmacological treatments, surgical techniques), with possible impacts in terms of Amplifon's operating model, also consideringaccessibility of services provided to its customer base, is not expected in the short term. The quality of the service and the continuous customer careprovided, both during the sales process and throughout the hearing aid's life cycle, represent the distinctive elements that characterize Amplifon.The customization of the hearing aid itself is based on the specific needs of each customer, combining technical and relational aspects through thehearing aid specialists network, in order to provide the best service possible and, at the same time, continues to constitute a strong element ofdifferentiation.
ManagementMeasures Investments continue to be made with the aim of finding the best resources for the development of new technologies, in order to both anticipate andbetter respond to any potential business evolutions. Moreover, with a view to monitoring and increasing the service and customer satisfaction, theGroup invests significant resources in developing its own line of products and digital technologies, like the Amplifon App by Amplifon X, as well as inredefining its customers audiological experience through Ampli-Care and integrating new services and features (e.g., Artificial Intelligence). Theseinvestments, and the continuous improvement of audiological protocols, enable to maintain an ongoing relationship with clients and provide a bettercustomer experience, both inside and outside the Group's stores, also through the testing of self and remote care solutions within an omnichannelperspective.

OPERATIONAL RISKS

Operational risks are those inherent in the business's organization, processes and systems, which could impact the efficiency and effectiveness of the Group's operations.

Details The strong reliance on technology and the acceleration toward digitalization continue to expose companies to different types of internal andexternal IT risks, including potential third parties vulnerabilities. Cyberattacks, which have become more widespread and sophisticated globally, alsoconsidering the changes in the geopolitical scenario, pose a constant threat from which Amplifon must protect itself.
CYBERSECURITY ManagementMeasures Amplifon constantly monitors potential cybersecurity threats, with a view to preventing and minimizing the effects that these attacks could haveon the Group. The continuous oversight and the carried out security improvements are aimed at supporting the business continuity, as well aspreventing the loss of data/information or financial resources, through activities focused on the security of processes, people and systems (e.g.,training, phishing simulation, certifications, compliance with regulatory requirements, business impact analysis, specific insurance policies).
Related ESRSTopical Standard Risk not associated with any ESRS Topical Standard but deemed relevant and considered Entity Specific.
IMPLEMENTATIONAND INTEGRATION Details The Group continues to carry out different projects related to the implementation and integration of IT systems, including the centralization of theprocurement process, the release and operational management of the ERP system across Group companies, as well as the implementation of thenew front-end system for stores, considering also the current legacy systems.These projects continue to be complex and relevant, also considering the Group's expansion path, particularly with respect to the management oflocal characteristics, the roll-out phases and change management.
OF IT SYSTEMS ManagementMeasures Amplifon dedicates the necessary resources to these projects building on experience and lessons learned, with particular focus on developing andstrengthening the know-how of internal resources, as well as including a robust training program for system users and assisting them with changemanagement.
Details Consistent with the Group's objective of sustainable growth over the medium/long-term, and in order to address the organizational needs andcomplexity of the business (with particular reference to specific roles and countries), it may be necessary to intensify the efforts in attracting,developing and retaining top talents, especially with respect to key managerial positions and qualified store personnel.The current context, characterized by growing competition, may have an impact on achievement of the objectives related to the attraction andretention of qualified store personnel, considering also the high level of qualification of the audiologists employed by the Group.
HUMAN RESOURCES ManagementMeasures With the aim of being "employer of choice", Amplifon invests significantly in developing a unique Employer Branding and in its talents through specifictraining and professional development programs, aimed at ensuring the growth of top talents and the availability of key competencies, for bothstore and back-office personnel, maintaining also effective partnerships with universities and reference organizations. The Group managesstructured channels to facilitate the recruitment of talents with specific expertise; moreover, performances are assessed based on "ad hoc" and faircompensation mechanisms and incentives.In order to guarantee success in the medium/long-term, talent mapping and succession planning activities are regularly carried out, analyzing andanticipating future needs for relevant roles, also in view of the growth of the business and core markets evolutions. The level of efficiency achievedby the Group in these areas is constantly monitored through KPIs related to succession planning, recruiting and retention.Amplifon places particular attention on the workplace environment, its people and the organization. This commitment is recognized throughinternational certifications received for human resources management (e.g., Top Employer3).

REGULATORY RISKS

Regulatory risk stems from compliance with the laws and regulations within the different markets in which the Company operates.

RISKS CONNECTED WITHINDUSTRY REGULATIONS Details Amplifon operates in a medical sector which is regulated differently across the countries where it is present. The main areas of interest for the Grouprelate to: i) reimbursement conditions from national healthcare systems and/or third parties, such as insurance companies; ii) selling requirements/conditions for the distribution of hearing aids; iii) requisites and qualifications for the professionals authorized to sell hearing solutions. Therefore,changes in regulations (e.g., in reimbursement conditions - in terms of amount or accessibility to the national healthcare system -, in the role ofotolaryngologists and of hearing care professionals, in the requirements needed for the sale of hearing aids and related services) could have adirect, even significant, impact on the market and, consequently, on the business, considering also the possible attention to the industry from localauthorities/governments, the evolving political landscape as well as the influence of health insurance companies.Within this context, the regulatory framework entails the sale of "Over the Counter" (OTC) devices, which is currently having a limited impact on thebusiness, particularly in the US market, given the relevance of the service component and the consumers involved (with mild to moderate hearingloss versus the Group's current core customers with moderate to severe hearing loss).
ManagementMeasures In general, also considering the current macroeconomic context, Amplifon ensures the continuous monitoring of regulatory matters in the countriesin which it operates and the implementation of possible actions (e.g., advocacy, processes/procedures updates) in order to promptly respond topotential changes in the global regulatory landscape. Moreover, the Group continues to monitor the evolution of the OTC segment in terms oftechnology, sales trends/players and regulations in order to detect any changes to the current scenario.
PRIVACY ANDDATA PROTECTION Details Given the nature of its business, Amplifon manages personal data, including in certain circumstances sensitive data, relating to customers, employeesand job candidates. The possibility that the processing of personal data does not comply with the relevant regulations, also due to potential databreaches and incidents as well as in consideration of the Group's global footprint and the investments in innovation, could lead to possible sanctionsby Privacy Authorities.
ManagementMeasures The Group continues to maintain adequate security standards and is committed to protecting any personal data processed, in order to guaranteecompliance with data protection laws. Toward this end, Amplifon continuously monitors potential legislative changes and amendments that mayoccur in the coming years, adopts the necessary measures (e.g., appointing Data Protection Officers, policies), and carries out related trainingactivities.

FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

In order to ensure a structured management of treasury activities and financial risks, the Group adopted, as early as 2012, a Treasury Policy, which serves as an operational guideline for the management of:

  • currency risk;
  • interest rate risk;
  • credit risk;
  • price risk;
  • liquidity risk.
This Policy is periodically updated to ensure a proactive approach to risk management.
Details Currency risk comprises the following categories:-foreign exchange transaction risk, i.e. the risk that the value of a financial asset or liability, a forecasted transaction or a firm commitment may fluctuate due tochanges in exchange rates;-foreign exchange translation risk, i.e. the risk that the translation into the presentation currency of the consolidated financial statements of assets, liabilities, costsand revenues relating to a net investment in a foreign operation may generate positive or negative differences compared to the original balances.Within the Amplifon Group, foreign exchange transaction risk mainly relates to:-Procurement and Supply Chain activities carried out by the Parent Company, which centrally manages purchases of hearing aids and accessories subsequentlyresold to subsidiaries. Purchases from suppliers are generally made, with limited exceptions, in the same currency in which they are invoiced to subsidiaries,with payment terms substantially reflecting those negotiated with suppliers, thereby minimising exchange rate risk. However, the presence of a mark-up, theaforementioned exceptions and year-end true-ups, the amounts of which may be significant, make the risk relevant;-Transactions in which purchase costs or sales revenues are denominated in a currency other than the local currency, as is the case in certain smaller markets (Israel,Canada and the Latin American subsidiaries), where purchase costs are incurred in Euro or US dollars;-Other intercompany transactions, such as short and long-term loans, recharges under intercompany service agreements and other centrally incurred costs. Thesetransactions expose companies whose functional currency differs from the currency in which the intercompany transaction is denominated to exchange rate risk;-Commitments to acquire or dispose of equity interests, which may give rise to exchange rate exposure in the period between signing and closing of the transaction.Foreign exchange translation risk arises from investments in the United States and Canada, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Hungary, Poland, Israel, Australia, New
CURRENCY RISK Mitigationmeasures Zealand, India, China, Chile, Argentina, Ecuador, Colombia, Uruguay, Panama, Mexico and Egypt.Foreign exchange transaction riskThe Group's strategy aims to minimise the impact of exchange rate fluctuations on the income statement by hedging significant net positions denominated incurrencies other than the reporting currency of the individual entities.With regard to operating transactions, including those arising from the Parent Company's Global Procurement activities, the provision of intercompany services andcash pooling arrangements, risk mitigation is primarily achieved through natural hedging by balancing receivable and payable positions at entity level and by usingforeign currency bank deposits to cover any net exposure. Where material unbalanced exposures arise between assets and liabilities and cannot be managed throughforeign currency deposits, they are appropriately hedged using suitable financial instruments. Such instruments include, for example, forward currency purchasesand sales.With regard to exposures arising from financial transactions, foreign exchange risk is managed through the use of specific derivative financial instruments.Risks arising from net positions with a unit value of less than €1 million (or the equivalent if denominated in another currency) are considered not significant and aretherefore not hedged.Foreign exchange translation riskWith reference to foreign exchange translation risk, in accordance with the provisions of the Group Treasury Policy, no hedging transactions have been entered into.Overall, the effects of foreign exchange translation risk resulted in a reduction of the Group's EBITDA of approximately €13 million compared to total Group EBITDA.Of this amount, approximately €2 million is attributable to the impact of the Argentine subsidiary. The latter operates in a high-inflation environment; however, itssize is immaterial compared to the overall size of the Group.

Details Interest rate risk comprises the following categories:-fair value risk, i.e. the risk that the value of a fixed-rate financial asset or liability may vary as a result of changes in market interest rates;-cash flow risk, i.e. the risk that the future cash flows of a variable-rate financial asset or liability may fluctuate as a result of changes in market interest rates.Within the Amplifon Group, fair value risk arises from fixed-rate borrowings, specifically: the issuance of bonds (Eurobond) for €350 million; the portion disbursed asat 31 December 2025, amounting to €195 million, of the loan granted by the European Investment Bank (EIB); and the €100 million tranche disbursed by Cassa Depositie Prestiti under the loan agreement entered into in a pool with CDP and UniCredit.Cash flow risk arises from the utilisation of floating rate bank loans, which amount in aggregate to €220 million.
The Group's strategy is aimed at minimising cash flow risk, particularly in relation to long-term exposures, through a balanced allocation between fixed-rate andvariable-rate borrowings. Both at the time individual loans are entered into and throughout their life, and also taking into account prevailing market interest ratelevels, the Group assesses whether to convert debt from floating rate to fixed rate. In any case, at least 50% of total debt must be protected against interest ratefluctuations. As at 31 December 2025, the Group's total short and medium to long-term bank borrowings amounted to €1,354 million, of which €969 million wereeither at fixed rate or had been converted to fixed rate through Interest Rate Swaps.
Hedging instruments are used by the Group exclusively to mitigate interest rate and foreign exchange risks, in line with the corporate strategy, and consist solely ofderivative financial instruments. To maximise the economic effectiveness of hedging, the Group's strategy provides that:-counterparties must be large institutions with high credit standing, and transactions must be executed within the limits defined by the Treasury Policy, in order tominimise counterparty risk;-the instruments entered into must, as far as possible, have characteristics that mirror those of the hedged item;-the performance of the instruments used is regularly monitored, also to verify and, where appropriate, optimise the adequacy of the hedging structure in achievinghedging objectives.
The Group Treasury Policy also defines strict counterparty selection criteria.
INTEREST Derivatives used by the Group are generally non-structured financial instruments (so-called plain vanilla). The types of derivatives outstanding during the year include:-interest rate swaps;-foreign exchange forward;-cross currency swaps (it should be noted that no Group company currently has borrowings denominated in a currency other than its functional currency; therefore, thisinstrument is not currently used).
RATE RISK Mitigationmeasures Upon initial recognition, such instruments are measured at fair value. At subsequent reporting dates, the fair value of derivatives is remeasured and:(i) if such instruments do not meet the requirements for hedge accounting, changes in fair value arising after initial recognition are recognised in the incomestatement;(ii) if such instruments qualify as fair value hedges, from that date changes in the fair value of the derivative are recognised in the income statement; at the same
time, changes in fair value attributable to the hedged risk are recognised as an adjustment to the carrying amount of the hedged item, with a corresponding entryin the income statement. Any hedge ineffectiveness is recognised in the income statement;(iii) if such instruments qualify as cash flow hedges, from that date changes in the fair value of the derivative are recognised in equity. Changes in the fair value of thederivative recognised in equity are reclassified to the income statement in the period in which the hedged transaction affects the income statement.Where the hedged item is the purchase of a non-financial asset, changes in the fair value of the derivative recognised in equity are reclassified as an adjustment to theacquisition cost of the hedged asset (so-called basis adjustment). Any hedge ineffectiveness is recognised in the income statement.
The hedging strategy defined by the Group is reflected in the accounting treatment described above from the moment the following conditions are met:-the hedging relationship, its objectives and the overall strategy pursued are formally defined and documented. The documentation includes identification of thehedging instrument, the hedged item, the nature of the risk being hedged and how the entity will assess hedge effectiveness;-hedge effectiveness can be reliably measured and there is reasonable expectation, supported by ex post evidence, that the hedge will be highly effective throughoutthe period during which the hedged risk is present;-in the case of hedging the risk of variability in cash flows related to a forecast transaction, the transaction is highly probable and presents an exposure to variability
in cash flows that could affect the income statement.
Derivatives are recognised as assets when their fair value is positive and as liabilities when their fair value is negative. Such balances are presented as current assetsor current liabilities if they relate to derivatives that do not meet hedge accounting requirements. If, on the other hand, they meet hedge accounting requirements,they are classified consistently with the hedged item.Specifically, if the hedged item is classified as current, the positive or negative fair value of the hedging instrument is presented within current assets or currentliabilities; if the hedged item is classified as non-current, the positive or negative fair value of the hedging instrument is presented within non-current assets or noncurrent liabilities.

It should also be noted that the Group does not have any hedges designated as a hedge of a net investment.

Credit risk represents the possibility that the issuer of a financial instrument defaults on its obligations, thereby causing a financial loss to the holder.
Within the Amplifon Group, credit risk arises from the following situations:
(i) sales carried out in the ordinary course of business, where customers may fail to meet their payment obligations;
Details (ii) the use of financial instruments involving the settlement of positions with counterparties, with the possibility that such counterparties may default on their
obligations;
(iii) loans granted to members of the indirect channel and commercial partners in the United States, aimed at supporting investment initiatives and business
development, with the risk that such loans may not be repaid.
With regard to the risk referred to under point (i) it should be noted that the only individually significant exposures relate to receivables from public healthcare
and welfare entities, as well as insurance companies, whose insolvency risk, although existing, is considered remote and is further mitigated by the fact that such
receivables are assigned on a non-recourse basis on a quarterly basis to specialised financial institutions. Conversely, credit risk arises from sales to private customers
to whom instalment payment terms have been granted. This risk is mitigated by the fact that such receivables are distributed across a large number of customers,with maximum individual amounts of only a few thousand Euro each. There is also credit risk relating to sales made in the United States to operators in the indirect
channel (franchisees), which are fragmented across numerous partners whose maximum individual exposure is limited and, even for the largest among them, never
CREDIT RISK exceeds a few million US dollars. Due to the typical risks associated with the business, some counterparties may fail to honour their obligations, resulting in a potential
increase in working capital and in bad debt losses. Although credit management remains the direct responsibility of individual subsidiaries, the Group, through its
Corporate functions, has implemented a monthly reporting system on trade receivables, monitoring their composition and ageing at country level, and sharing with
Mitigation local management both recovery initiatives and commercial policies. In particular, with regard to private customers – for whom the vast majority of sales are made on
measures immediate payment terms – instalment sales or financing arrangements exceeding a few months are managed by external financial institutions that advance the full
sales amount to Amplifon. As regards operators in the indirect channel in the United States, the situation is closely monitored by local management.
The risk referred to under point (ii), notwithstanding the inherent uncertainty linked to potential sudden and unexpected counterparty defaults, is managed through
diversification among leading national and international investment grade financial institutions. Such diversification is ensured through the establishment of
specific counterparty limits, both with respect to invested and/or deposited liquidity and with respect to the notional amount of derivative contracts. Counterparty
limits are determined based on the short-term credit rating of the individual counterparty or, in the absence of a public rating, on the counterparty's capital
adequacy ratio (Tier 1).
The risk referred to under point (iii) relates to receivables generally supported by personal guarantees provided by the beneficiaries. Repayment is typically made
concurrently with payment of invoices relating to hearing aids sold to them, or settled upon the eventual acquisition by the Group of the franchisee's business.
Price risk represents the possibility that the value of a financial asset or liability may fluctuate as a result of changes in market prices (other than those relating to
foreign exchange rates and interest rates). Such fluctuations may be caused by:
Details -specific factors relating to the financial asset or liability, or to the issuer of the financial liability;
PRICE RISK -market-wide factors independent of the specific asset or liability.
Mitigation This risk is typical of financial assets not quoted in an active market, which may not always be realised in the short term at amounts close to their fair value.
The Amplifon Group does not hold investments in such instruments and therefore this risk is not currently present.

Liquidity risk typically refers to the possibility that an entity may encounter difficulties in obtaining sufficient funds to meet its obligations. This risk includes the
Details possibility that counterparties that have granted short-term uncommitted credit lines and/or financing facilities may request repayment, as well as the difficulty of
refinancing long-term loans which have reached maturity.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

Although the Group does not carry out research and development activities in the strict sense with respect to hearing aids (as this is undertaken by manufacturers), it invests significant resources in technological innovation – through the development of the "Amplifon Product Experience" and other innovative digital marketing and front-office solutions – as well as in process innovation, with the aim of delivering an excellent Customer Experience to its clients.

In addition, in 2025 the Group continued the roll-out of the "Otopad" project, which will enable improvements both in the efficiency of the hearing test process and in related operational dynamics, gradually replacing traditional devices.

TRANSACTIONS WITHIN THE GROUP AND WITH RELATED PARTIES

Pursuant to and in accordance with the Consob Regulation n. 17221 issued on 12 March 2010 and after having received a favorable opinion from the Independent Directors' Committee for Related Parties transactions, on 3 November 2010 Amplifon S.p.A.'s Board of Directors adopted a new version of the regulations of procedures and fulfillments for related party transactions which has been updated several times. The regulation currently in force was approved by the Board of Directors on 29 April 2021 with entry into force on 1 July 2021. **86 87**AMPLIFON AT A GLANCE REPORT ON OPERATIONS CONSOLIDATED SUSTAINABILITY STATEMENT CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The transactions with related parties, including intercompany transactions, do not qualify as atypical or unusual, and fall within the Group's normal course of business and are managed at arm's length, given the nature of the goods and of the services provided.

Information on transactions with related parties is provided in Note 39 of the consolidated financial statements and in Note 38 of the separate financial statements.

CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

Currently the Group is not exposed to any particular risks, uncertainties or legal disputes which exceed the provisions already made in the financial statements, shown in Note 19 "Provisions for risks and charges (medium/long-term)" and Note 25 "Provisions for risks and charges (current portion)". There are currently underway usual tax audits. These audits are presently in the preliminary phase and no findings have been reported so far. The Group is confident in the correctness of its actions.

ATYPICAL/UNUSUAL TRANSACTIONS

Please note that in 2025 the Group carried out no atypical and/or unusual transactions as defined in the Consob Bulletin of 28 July 2006.

OUTLOOK

In 2025, the global hearing care market growth was below historical and expected levels, primarily due to the wellknown macroeconomic and geopolitical uncertainties that affected the Group's patients confidence. Amplifon adopted a proactive approach in order to transform challenges into development opportunities, by implementing during the year significant initiatives designed to accelerate future growth and structurally improve profitability.

With regard to the latter, the Group launched the "Fit4Growth" program and the implementation is progressing at a faster pace than initially expected thanks to the actions already referred to. In the face of this progress and the additional opportunities identified, the "Fit4Growth" program now calls for a run-rate improvement in the adjusted EBITDA margin in the high-end of the range of 150-200 basis points by 2027, and the one-off cash costs for the implementation of the program to be incurred between 2025 and 2026 are now estimated at around 25 million euros compared to the 35 million euros originally expected.

For 2026, the Group expects a gradual improvement in the global market, with growth in demand currently expected in the region of 3% compared to 2025, supported by a progressive recovery in the US private market, driven primarily by the Private Pay segment, and improving trends across the European market. Specifically, assuming there are no further slowdowns in global economic activity (due to - among others - the well-known macroeconomic and geopolitical situation), the Group expects to continue to outperform in its key individual markets, with a solid progressive improvement in organic growth compared to 2025 and, most importantly, a material increase in its adjusted EBITDA margin, supported by the "Fit4Growth" program.

In the medium term, the Group remains extremely positive about its prospects for profitable and sustainable growth, thanks to the fundamentals of the hearing care market and its strong leadership position, as well as the full implementation of the "Fit4Growth" program to enhance profitability and reinforce the Group's competitive positioning.

REVENUES FROM SALES AND SERVICES

(€ thousands)

FY 2025 FY 2024 Change Change %
Revenues from sales and services to subsidiaries 452,978 409,687 43,291 10.6%
Total 452,978 409,687 43,291 10.6%

The change in respect of the comparative period, other than transfer pricing policies in compliance with applicable tax and accounting regulations, is attributable to the extensions of the central purchasing activities carried out by Amplifon S.p.A. to the Chinese and Sud American subsidiaries.

GROSS OPERATING PROFIT (EBITDA)

(€ thousands)

FY 2025 % on revenues FY 2024 % on revenues Change %
Gross operating profit (loss) (EBITDA) 115,450 25.5% 78,066 19.1% 47.9%
Gross operating profit (loss) (EBITDA) Adjusted 88,815 19.6% 66,799 16.3% 33.0%

Gross operating profit (EBITDA) amounted to €115,450 thousands (25.5% of the revenues generated by sales and services) compared to €78,066 thousands at 31st December 2024.

The positive change of the EBITDA compared to the prior reporting period is attributable to an increase in sales and to the reduction of other expenses arising from allocations made to subsidiaries and relating to transfer pricing adjustments in accordance with the Group's transfer pricing policy and applicable tax and accounting regulations, net of income.

The result for the reporting period was affected for €26,635 thousands by items (income and expenses) that are unusual, infrequent or not related to the operating performance, detailed in the section on Alternative Performance Indicators to which reference is made, mainly attributable to income from compensating adjustments relating to fiscal years prior to 2025 deriving from BAPAs implemented in 2025 with the competent local tax authorities, the Fit4Growth program aimed at improving profitability and strengthening the Group's competitiveness, and write-downs and other adjustments relating to previous years of the central structures as a "central purchasing" aimed at a greater efficiency. **94 95**AMPLIFON AT A GLANCE REPORT ON OPERATIONS CONSOLIDATED SUSTAINABILITY STATEMENT CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

In the comparative period, EBITDA was affected by the unusual items detailed in the Alternative Performance Indicators section to which reference is made, mainly relating to compensation adjustment income relating to the fiscal years prior to 2024 deriving from the BAPAs implemented in 2024 with the relevant local tax authorities, the oneoff assignment in 2023 of Amplifon shares owned by Ampliter in favour of the CEO, the costs incurred for the process of defining and implementing the Statutory changes, including the enhancement of the Increased Voting Rights, and mainly relating to tax, legal and financial advisors, as well as expenses relating to the organization of the Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting held on 30th April 2024.

Net of these non-recurring items, the increase in EBITDA amounted to 22,016 thousands (+33.0%) and the EBITDA margin is equal to 19.6%.

OPERATING PROFIT (LOSS) (EBIT)

(€ thousands)

FY 2025 % on revenues FY 2024 % on revenues Change %
Operating profit (loss) (EBIT) 83,829 18.5% 45,070 11.0% 86.0%
Operating profit (loss) (EBIT) Adjusted 57,194 12.6% 33,803 8.3% 69.2%

Operating profit (EBIT) amounted to €83,829 thousands (18.5% of revenues generated by sales and services) showing an increase of €38,759 thousands compared to the previous period, as a result of the increase in revenues explained above.

During the period considered, the operating profit (EBIT) was impacted by unusual (income or expenses) components, infrequent or not correlated with the operative performance, detailed in the section Alternative Indicator of Performance to which reference is made for €26,635 thousands, while in the comparative period these components amounted to €11,267 thousands.

Net of these items, the operating result (EBIT) increased by €23,391 thousands (69.2%) and the EBIT Adjusted margin referring only to adjusted components stood at 5.9%.

PROFIT BEFORE TAXES

(€ thousands)

FY 2025 % on revenues FY 2024 % on revenues Change %
Profit (loss) before taxes 79,055 17.5% 95,314 23.3% -17.1%
Profit (loss) before taxes Adjusted 99,327 21.9% 85,829 20.9% 15.7%

Profit before tax amounted to €79,055 thousands in 2025, compared to €95,134 thousands in 2024, with a decrease of €16,259 thousands.

This result was affected by unusual, infrequent or unrelated components (income or expenses) for €20,272 thousands, detailed in the Alternative Performance Indicators section, which are mainly related to the write-down of investments in Chinese companies where, although operating cash flows show continuous growth in the business plan, they are not sufficient to ensure the recoverability of the carrying value of the equity investments and lower dividends received from subsidiaries compared to the previous period in addition to the charges already described in relation to EBITDA.

Net of these components, pre-tax profit increased by €13,498 thousands.

NET PROFIT ATTRIBUTABLE TO THE GROUP

(€ thousands)

FY 2025 % on revenues FY 2024 % on revenues Change %
Net profit (loss) 67,534 14.9% 95,180 23.2% -29.0%
Net profit (loss) adjusted 84,184 18.6% 88,374 21.6% -4.7%

The result for 2025 shows a Profit of €67,534 thousands compared to €95,180 thousands in 2024, the effect of the changes indicated above. Net of unusual items described above and the related tax effect, adjusted Profit for the year amounted to €84,184 thousands, compared to €88,374 thousands in 2024.

The change in the impact of taxes on Pre-tax profit (14.6% compared to 0.1% in the previous year) is due to the non-deductibility of write-downs of investments in Chinese and UK subsidiaries (€47 million) made during the year. It should also be noted that in general, the low tax incidence is due to the relevance on Pre-tax profit of income from dividends from subsidiaries (approximately €78,5 million), which are taxed for only 5% of their amount. In addition, the benefit relating to the Patent box and other tax credits for research and development and Industry 4.0 have further contributed to reducing the overall amount. Excluding the effect of dividends, non-deductible write-downs of equity investments and the Patent box benefit, the tax incidence would have amounted to 24%.

  • €45,000 thousands relating to the write-down of investments in the Chinese companies Beijing Cohesion Hearing Science & Technology Co. Ltd Amplifon (China) investment Co., Ltd. (Cina), Hangzhou Amplifon Hearing Aid Co., Ltd., where, although operating flows show continuous growth in the business plan, they are not sufficient to ensure the recoverability of the carrying value of the equity investments;

  • Capital increases and other cash contributions made with reference to the equity investments in the Luxembourg and Polish subsidiaries for €3,800 thousand and €15,220 thousands respectively.

The reduction in other non-current assets compared to the comparative year is due to the short-term reclassification of the residual portion usable in 2026 of tax credits deriving from super bonus discounts in accordance with art.119 and 121 of Legislative Decree 34/2020, purchased during 2024 from a leading financial institution to be paid according to timelines in line with the forecasts for the use of the credits themselves, over the three-year horizon 2024-2026. As required by current tax legislation, these credits are used to offset the payment of taxes, withholdings and contributions.

ANNUAL REPORT 2025

METHODOLOGICAL NOTE

[BP-1] GENERAL BASIS FOR PREPARATION OF SUSTAINABILITY STATEMENTS

The Consolidated Sustainability Statement (hereinafter also "Sustainability Statement" or "Statement") of the Amplifon Group (hereinafter also "Group" or "Amplifon") has been prepared on a consolidated basis and includes the parent Company Amplifon S.p.A. in its scope. (hereinafter also "Company") and all legal entities consolidated in the financial statements, with the exclusion of legal entities consolidated using the equity method, as they are joint ventures and associates over which the Group has no operational control. For further information, please refer to Annex I of the section "Consolidated Financial Statements".

The information contained in this document is the result of the double materiality assessment, which has made it possible to identify the material ESG impacts, risks, and opportunities (hereinafter also "IROs") for Amplifon. Details on the double materiality analysis can be found in "The Group's double materiality" section of this chapter. The definition and assessment of IROs have taken into account the Group's own operations, the upstream and downstream value chain in which the Group operates, and its business relationships. Amplifon does not omit information relating to intellectual property, know-how, or the outcomes of innovation.

[BP-2] DISCLOSURES IN RELATION TO SPECIFIC CIRCUMSTANCES

TIME HORIZONS

The definition of time horizons adopted by Amplifon and its application reflect the practices implemented within the Company's Enterprise Risk Management system, in particular, they are defined as follows:

  • • Medium-term = 1-3 years;
  • • Long-term = 3-10 years.

VALUE CHAIN ESTIMATION

The definition of the contents of the 2025 Sustainability Statement involved key corporate functions, which worked in close collaboration under the coordination of the Investor Relations & Sustainability function (hereinafter also "IR & Sustainability). Performance indicators were selected based on the double materiality assessment and collected annually through a structured process of data collection, aggregation, and transmission at Group level. This process is governed by a specific procedure for drafting and approving the Sustainability Statement, which standardises the collection and validation of data. The process is managed through dedicated IT platforms for the collection and consolidation of sustainability data.

For the sake of accurately representing performance and ensuring the reliability of the data, the use of estimates has been minimised as much as possible. Where estimates are present, they are based on the best available methodologies and are duly indicated. In particular, it is specified that Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions have included the use of estimations.

SOURCES OF ESTIMATION AND OUTCOME UNCERTAINTY

Amplifon has not identified any quantitative metrics and/or monetary amounts subject to a high level of measurement uncertainty.

CHANGES IN PREPARATION AND PRESENTATION OF SUSTAINABILITY INFORMATION

No changes are reported in the methodology applied for the calculation of Scope 3 emissions. However, it should be noted that the Sustainability Plan has been reviewed and updated, leading to the introduction of a new target.

SUSTAINABILITY GOVERNANCE

[GOV-1] THE ROLE OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE, MANAGEMENT AND SUPERVISORY BODIES

Amplifon's Corporate Governance structure is based on the principles outlined in the Italian Corporate Governance Code of January 2020, promoted by the Corporate Governance Committee of Borsa Italiana. The Company has adhered to the Code since its first version in 2001, promptly aligning with subsequent updates. The Board of Directors1 of Amplifon S.p.A.

SHAREHOLDERS' MEETING

The Shareholders' Meeting (hereinafter also "Meeting") has the authority, in an ordinary session, to approve the financial statements, appoint and dismiss Directors and Statutory Advisors, determine their remuneration, and deliberate on matters within its competence as provided by law. In its extraordinary session, the Shareholders' Meeting passes resolutions on amendments to the Articles of Incorporation and the Articles of Association, as well as on any other matters falling within its competence under applicable legal provisions.

The Company's Articles of Association stipulate that, unless otherwise resolved by the Shareholders' Meeting at the time of appointment, the Board of Directors is granted, within the limits established by law, the broadest powers of ordinary and extraordinary administration, as well as full disposal powers without limitation.

ENHANCED INCREASED VOTING RIGHTS

Following the adoption of Law No. 116/2014, which introduced the principle of increased voting rights into the Italian legal framework, the extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting of the Company resolved on 29 January 2015 to amend the Articles of Association, allowing shareholders to request two votes per share for each share held continuously for at least 24 months from the date of registration in the dedicated list prepared by the Company.

In line with the decision taken in 2015 and following the entry into force of Italian Law No. 21/2024 (the so-called "Capital Law"), on 30 April 2024, the Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting adopted the option of enhanced increased voting to foster a capital structure that supports the Group's long-term growth strategy at a global level while more effectively and incisively rewarding long-term shareholders. This option allows shareholders to acquire an increased voting right, starting with two votes per share if the share has been held continuously for at least 24 months from the date of registration in the Company's dedicated list. A third vote is granted after an additional year, and subsequently, one additional vote per year (i.e., fourth, fifth vote, and so on) up to a maximum of 10 votes per share, in compliance with applicable laws and regulations.

As at 31 December 2025, a total of 95,495,236 shares carrying three voting rights each were recorded in the relevant register (representing 68.64% of the Company's voting share capital). Of these, 95,105,392 shares (68.36% of the voting share capital) are held by the controlling shareholder Ampliter S.r.l.; 50 shares carry two voting rights each and 130,893,334 shares carry one voting right each.

In line with the Italian Corporate Governance model, Amplifon does not provide for formal and direct employee or worker representation within its administrative, management, and supervisory bodies. This reflects a governance structure in which worker involvement is regulated through other mechanisms, such as trade unions, Company trade union representatives (RSA), or unitary trade union representatives (RSU), rather than through direct presence on boards or decision-making bodies.

Amplifon's Board of Directors possesses adequate and diverse experience and competencies to effectively fulfil its role in supervising the processes, controls, and governance procedures used to monitor, manage, and oversee impacts, risks, and opportunities. A detailed analysis of the competencies of the Board members is provided through the charts below, illustrating their areas of expertise and personal skills, ensuring transparency and completeness in assessing their suitability to manage the Company's strategic and operational challenges.

The chart shows the proportion of members of the Board of Directors with specific backgrounds in each of the areas listed, highlighting a greater concentration in the Health care, Hearing care, Industry and Financial services sectors.

BOD MEMBERS BY AREAS OF EXPERTISE11

The chart illustrates the distribution of experience gained by the members of the Board of Directors across the various professional areas, ranging from international exposure to risk management, as well as IT and sustainability.

BOD MEMBERS BY COMPETENCE

The administrative, management, and supervisory bodies possess, or where necessary update, the necessary expertise to effectively address sustainability-related matters. In particular, the Board of Directors has direct sustainability expertise, with members bringing specific experience gained through dedicated training programmes. Over the past years, the members of the Board of Directors have participated in induction sessions on sustainability topics to gain deeper insights into the Group's ESG-related risks and sustainability reporting. As per standard practice, a dedicated discussion on the Sustainability Plan was conducted, ensuring a thorough understanding of its objectives and targets.

These activities are complemented by dedicated sessions on corporate policies (e.g., Diversity Equity Inclusion & Belonging - hereinafter also "DEIB" - Policy, Supplier Code of Conduct, Whistleblowing Policy, etc.) when updated, ensuring a coherent and structured approach. This enables the members of the administrative, management, and supervisory bodies to gain not only a deep understanding of ESG principles and best practices but also familiarity with relevant corporate policies. The synergy between these efforts ensures a comprehensive vision and effective management of sustainability-related impacts, risks, and opportunities.

The monitoring of ESG impacts, risks, and opportunities is also ensured through the Sustainability Plan, which is reviewed and monitored in dedicated sessions by the responsible Committee. This role is assigned to the RCSC, which, as part of its support activities for the BoD, is responsible for overseeing sustainability-related activities and the management of ESG topics. Moreover, this commitment is clearly expressed and integrated within the Group's Policies, which establish the strategic guidelines for the responsible and sustainable management of corporate activities.

As reported in the Corporate Governance and Ownership Structure Report as at 31/12/2025, the Board of Directors approves the Sustainability Reporting, ensuring that it is prepared and published in compliance with Italian Legislative Decree 125/24. The Group policies, including the Sustainability Policy (which formalises the four areas of commitment for the Group), play a key role in guiding its sustainability strategy. Furthermore, following the review and validation of the ESG strategic guidelines (including the Sustainability Plan) by the RCSC and the BoD, the Group ensures oversight of the impacts, risks, and opportunities across all areas of sustainability. Supporting the BoD, the Risk, Control and Sustainability Committee is responsible for supervising internal control and risk management matters, including ESGrelated matters affecting the Company's operations and stakeholder interactions. Additionally, the RCSC monitors the adequacy and effectiveness of the internal control system.

[ESRS G1 - GOV-1] THE ROLE OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE, MANAGEMENT AND SUPERVISORY BODIES

Amplifon has a Code of Ethics that, in line with its corporate culture, defines the principles, values, and rules of conduct that guide the Group. The Code of Ethics is distributed across all the countries where Amplifon operates to ensure its local dissemination and effective implementation. Its provisions apply to all employees and all subsidiary companies, as well as to third parties whose actions are attributable to the Group.

The Group's Code of Ethics is approved by the Board of Directors, which promotes its implementation and compliance, ensuring alignment with industry best practices. The Board of Directors plays a central role in ensuring that the Company's conduct adheres to the principles of ethics, honesty, integrity, fairness, and good faith, fostering a corporate culture based on compliance with applicable regulations and best governance practices.

For more details on the Board of Directors competences regarding corporate conduct, please refer to the previous section.

[GOV-2] INFORMATION PROVIDED TO AND SUSTAINABILITY MATTERS ADDRESSED BY THE UNDERTAKING'S ADMINISTRATIVE, MANAGEMENT AND SUPERVISORY BODIES

To enhance awareness of ESG topics and risks, regular updates on impacts, risks, opportunities, and sustainability initiatives are provided, if necessary, during meetings of the Board of Directors and the Risk, Control and Sustainability Committee, which take place at least five times a year. These updates include insights into efforts related to climate change mitigation and adaptation. At these governance meetings, reports on the activities performed in preparation for the Sustainability Statement are presented (such as the double materiality analysis, which was also submitted to the RCSC and validated by the BoD in 2025). Updates are shared on new projects (see, for example, the climate strategy Listening to Our Planet) and key milestones achieved in relation to the objectives set out in the Sustainability Plan (for further details, see the "Sustainability Strategy" section in this chapter). Communication and engagement activities are also discussed, covering interactions with the financial community, ESG rating agencies, and all relevant stakeholders. The Internal Control and Risk Management System (ICRMS) consists of rules, procedures, and organisational structures aimed at an effective and efficient identification, assessment, management and monitoring of the main risks, to contribute to the Group's sustainable success, in line with the strategic guidelines. Through the adoption of the Enterprise Risk Management (hereinafter also ERM) model, Amplifon promotes a structured and systematic process of risk assessment, monitoring and reporting, aimed at the correct management of the main risks of the Group. This activity is coordinated and facilitated by the Group Risk Management function, acting as a second-level control12, which supports the internal stakeholders involved in the process (Corporate Executive Officers, Executive Vice Presidents of the three regions, Country General Managers and their respective local management teams, selected Directors). The exercise is carried out annually, with a mid-year review, in order to incorporate any updates regarding the risks to which the Group might be exposed, thereby ensuring their adequate identification, assessment and management, as well as their monitoring. The Group Top Risks map resulting from this process is periodically presented to the RCSC - on a semi-annual basis (June/December) - and to the BoD - in June as a note of the RCSC Chairperson and in December as a specific agenda item. Monitoring of the specific objectives of the Sustainability Plan is entrusted to the Investor Relations & Sustainability function, which continuously verifies progress and results achieved within the respective areas of responsibility; the Board of Directors is responsible for ensuring its effective operational implementation in line with the Company's strategies. In addition, the Board of Directors and the Board of Statutory Advisors play a broader, more strategic oversight role, monitoring the achievement of the Company's overall objectives and ensuring that all activities align with its vision, mission, and values. In addition, the governance bodies approve and/or oversee policies designed to address emerging impacts, risks and opportunities, such as the Sustainability Policy, the Environmental Policy, the DEIB Policy, the Code of Ethics, and the Human Rights Policy, which are explored in greater detail in the "Policies, actions, metrics and targets" section of this chapter. During the definition of the Sustainability Plan, the Global Investor Relations & Sustainability function engaged Top Management in open discussions on key ESG opportunities, evaluating strategic priorities for the Group. In the ERM process, all material ESG topics, including those related to environmental aspects and climate change, are assessed by key involved stakeholders in terms of potential risks and opportunities, also considering the related management and mitigation strategies; risks and opportunities identified as material are presented to the RCSC and the BoD.

The Board of Directors annually addresses specific sustainability topics that have emerged as relevant, through dedicated sessions allowing for in-depth discussions on related impacts, risks and opportunities. These meetings provide an opportunity to review and validate corporate strategies, such as Sustainability Plan updates and the definition of ESG objectives and targets, as well as ensure compliance with the latest regulatory requirements for climate-related disclosures and sustainability reporting. Furthermore, the Board, in addition to approving material impacts, risks and opportunities (for more information, please refer to the section on "The Group's double materiality" in this chapter), is also responsible for assessing and approving any updates to corporate policies related to sustainability governance, thus strengthening its role in overseeing the Group's commitment to these matters.

[GOV-3] INTEGRATION OF SUSTAINABILITY-RELATED PERFORMANCE IN INCENTIVE SCHEMES

Since 2020, Amplifon has sought to ensure the alignment of the Remuneration Policy with the Group's sustainability strategy, by setting the main objectives of the Sustainability Plan within the Company's performance appraisal system (the so-called "PDR") and short-term variable incentive (MBO) schemes for top management (Chief Executive Officer/General Manager and Executives with strategic responsibilities). Under the MBO incentive mechanism, the bonus resulting from the achievement of performance targets is subject to a multiplier or demultiplier, depending on the attainment of individual objectives outlined in the PDR Scorecard. Each individual's objectives include at least one sustainability-related goal, ensuring full alignment between short-term incentives and the Group's sustainability objectives. Further demonstrating Amplifon's increasing focus on ESG matters, in 2022 the Company

12. The Internal Control and Risk Management System is structured around three main levels, each with distinct control responsibilities and objectives. The first level comprises operational functions (line management), which are responsible for identifying, assessing, managing and monitoring the specific risks of their areas of competence consistently with Company's procedures and policies in order to ensure compliance and the proper conduct of processes. The second level includes the supervisory functions (e.g., Risk Management, Compliance, Legal), which support and monitor the first level, defining rules, methodologies and tools for risk analysis and management, ensuring that risks are properly identified and controlled. The third level is represented by the Internal Audit function, which provides adequate assurance on the internal control system.

launched a new performance-based remuneration scheme, the Sustainable Value Sharing Plan. Initially introduced for the Chief Executive Officer/General Manager, the plan was extended in 2023 to Executives with Strategic Responsibilities and selected key personnel, reinforcing a strong commitment to achieving ESG targets. In every country where Amplifon operates, short-term incentives are also in place for employees outside of Top Management, designed to reward individual and collective contributions towards achieving Company objectives. Additionally, sales incentives are provided for employees working in clinics and sales structures, aimed at driving performance and encouraging the achievement of commercial targets.

The development of Amplifon's Remuneration Policy involves multiple stakeholders, in line with the regulatory requirements applicable to publicly listed companies. Every aspect of the incentive system is reviewed by the Remuneration and Appointment Committee, which assesses its robustness before submitting it for approval by the Board of Directors. Certain equity-based incentive plans also require approval from the Amplifon S.p.A. Shareholders' Meeting.

For the 2025-2027 cycle of the Sustainable Value Sharing Plan 2022-2027, ESG performance is assessed based on four key metrics, each corresponding to a pillar of the Sustainability Plan, defined on the basis of the KPIs included in the Plan:

  • • Product and Service Stewardship: clients and prospects' annual economic saving for the three-year period 2025-2027 (€ million);
  • • People Empowerment: confirming Global Top Employer certification in the threeyear period 2025-2027 and obtaining further global certification;
  • • Community Impact: number of employees' participations in Group Foundations' voluntary initiatives or Social Ambassadorship initiatives for the three-year period 2025-2027;
  • • Ethical Conduct and Environmental Responsibility: total number of batteries "saved" per year for the three-year period 2025-2027 (in millions of batteries).

Amplifon's Sustainable Value Sharing Plan is 50% linked to achieving these four ESG objectives, accounting for 16% of the total target pay mix for Amplifon S.p.A.'s Chief Executive Officer. Given that 27% of the target pay mix consists of fixed remuneration, ESG metrics represent 11% of the Company's overall incentive system.

[E1 GOV-3] INTEGRATION OF SUSTAINABILITY-RELATED PERFORMANCE IN INCENTIVE SCHEMES

It should be noted that the incentive system includes an environmental sustainabilityrelated target under the "Ethical Conduct and Environmental Responsibility" pillar, specifically aimed at annual battery savings. For further details refer to the previous section. An objective related to the submission to the SBTi and the related implementation of Amplifon's Climate Strategy is currently included in the CEO's Performance Development Review (PDR). With regard to the other members of the administrative, management and supervisory bodies, no specific climate-related considerations are included within their remuneration.

[GOV-4] STATEMENT ON DUE DILIGENCE

In preparing its Sustainability Statement, Amplifon Group has initiated a process of data collection and analysis regarding its due diligence practices (hereinafter also "due diligence"). In relation to supply chain due diligence, Amplifon has already adopted a structured and cyclical approach to prevent and mitigate significant negative impacts on workers in its value chain. This process is ongoing, involving continuous monitoring of supplier performance and compliance with the Supplier Code of Conduct, fostering improvements throughout the supply chain. This approach ensures that preventing negative impacts is an integral part of the Group's procurement and value chain management strategy. 110 111 AMPLIFON AT A GLANCE REPORT ON OPERATIONS CONSOLIDATED SUSTAINABILITY STATEMENT CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Although there is currently no procedure governing the overall ESG due diligence process across all areas in which the Group operates, in 2025 Amplifon implemented an internal procedure specifically dedicated to supplier ESG due diligence. The procedure defines Amplifon's global framework for the identification, assessment and mitigation of ESG risks within the supplier base and outlines the key processes, responsibilities, methodologies and tools adopted to ensure effective risk management, in compliance with applicable regulations and the objectives of the Amplifon Group.

The initiatives and projects outlined in the following table provide a fundamental contribution to building a framework for managing the environmental, social, and governance impacts the Group may generate or is already generating.

ELEMENTS OF DUE DILIGENCE

A) EMBEDDING DUE DILIGENCE IN GOVERNANCE, STRATEGY AND BUSINESS MODEL

As a foundation for integrating social and environmental responsibility, Amplifon has adopted a range of policies that reflect its commitment to sustainability. These include:

  • Sustainability Policy
  • Code of Ethics
  • Supplier Code of Conduct
  • Whistleblowing Policy
  • Anti-Corruption Policy
  • Environmental Policy
  • DEIB (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging) Policy
  • Human Rights Policy

In addition, due diligence governance activities are embedded within and defined by the following processes:

  • Supplier due diligence process, defined by Amplifon's global framework for the management of ESG risks within its supply chain (internal procedure),
  • Through the Risk, Control and Sustainability Committee and its role in supporting the BoD in identifying, considering, and managing the impacts generated by the Group's activities.
  • The double materiality assessment, which evaluates impacts, risks, and opportunities and serves as an input for potential modifications to the business model.

B) ENGAGING WITH AFFECTED STAKEHOLDERS IN ALL KEY STEPS OF THE DUE DILIGENCE

For Amplifon Group, stakeholder engagement represents an opportunity for dialogue and collaboration. Specifically, to identify and manage the key aspects relevant to the Group, Amplifon employs various methods to maintain active communication with its stakeholders.

  • Stakeholder engagement process:

    • The Group developed a structured, multi-year Stakeholder Engagement Plan, which facilitates a rotational approach to involving a broad range of stakeholders through interactive dialogue.
    • This initiative aims to deepen stakeholder engagement and integrate their perspectives into assessments of human rights and environmental impacts.
  • As part of the impact assessment within the double materiality assessment process, several stakeholder categories were consulted to define significant impacts caused by the Group;

  • Amplifon's Group Whistleblowing channels provide an accessible and secure communication platform for all stakeholders, enabling them to report concerns of various kinds;

  • Recipients of the Group Code of Conduct are encouraged to play an active role in reporting any violations of its provisions. To support this, a dedicated email address ([email protected]) is available, ensuring a transparent working environment that complies with regulatory requirements.

  • Section "Policies, actions, metrics and targets" of this chapter.

  • Section "Sustainability Governance" of this chapter.

  • Section "The Group's double materiality" of this chapter.

  • Section "Actions, metrics and targets" of chapter "ESRS S2 Workers in the value chain".

  • Paragraph "Management of relationships with suppliers" of Chapter "ESRS G1 Business conduct".

  • Section "Sustainability Strategy" of this chapter.

  • Section "The Group's double materiality" of this chapter.

  • Section "Policies, actions, metrics and targets" of this chapter.

C) IDENTIFYING AND ASSESSING ADVERSE IMPACTS

  • The Group's double materiality process has placed particular emphasis on the assessment and prioritisation of impacts, aiming to identify those most relevant to both the organisation and its stakeholders.
  • Product non-compliance monitoring serves as a key mechanism for identifying potential negative impacts arising from the use and commercialisation of the Group's products. This system allows for the early detection of non-compliance matters that could pose risks to safety, quality, and the environment.
  • The Group Whistleblowing channels are a crucial resource for receiving reports from the Group's stakeholders. These reports may also relate to potential or actual negative impacts resulting from Amplifon's activities.
  • The supplier due diligence process, specifically in relation to ESG criteria, offers a detailed analysis of impacts within the Group's value chain (upstream).

[GOV-5] RISK MANAGEMENT AND INTERNAL CONTROLS OVER THE SUSTAINABILITY REPORTING

Amplifon's Internal Control and Risk Management System is designed to ensure the presence of structured safeguards for mitigating potential risks related to the Sustainability Statement. The Global Accounting and Compliance function plays a central role and its main responsibilities are outlined in the "Internal Control and Risk Management System – Risk, Control and Sustainability Committee" section of the Corporate Governance and Ownership Structure Report. This document details the processes and risk management mechanisms relating to the preparation of the Sustainability Statement. To support this system, a scoping exercise was carried out, identifying all Group entities as being within the scope of the control model.

In this context, the Group Risk Control Matrix (RCM) was prepared in order to oversee the monitoring process relating to the Sustainability Statement for each Disclosure Requirement within scope. The RCM sets out the controls associated with the identified risks, ensuring the effectiveness and adequacy of the measures adopted. The RCM was first implemented in 2024. During the current year, it was updated on the basis of the results of the double materiality assessment, resulting in an extension of the scope of the Disclosure Requirements included within the RCM.

Through an in-depth analysis of data collection flows underlying reporting obligations, the Group has formally defined risk categories and corresponding control measures to mitigate them. These measures outline the nature, frequency, and responsible parties for their execution.

For each identified risk, the Risk Control Matrix defines mitigation strategies and corresponding controls, supported by an ongoing audit plan and periodic testing conducted by the Global Accounting and Compliance function. These assessments evaluate the control structure, identify potential gaps, and propose corrective actions, such as implementing compensatory controls or modifying operational processes, to ensure effective oversight of critical areas.

The integration of internal controls into business processes is further strengthened through the semi-annual reporting of key findings and corrective actions to the Risk, Control and Sustainability Committee and the Board of Directors. This reporting process enables the monitoring of the effectiveness of the Internal Control System, ensuring that governance bodies receive timely and accurate information. Beyond compliance with regulatory requirements and corporate governance principles, this approach supports alignment with sustainability objectives, providing a solid foundation for integrated risk management and transparent reporting.

[SBM-1] STRATEGY, BUSINESS MODEL AND VALUE CHAIN

THE GROUP'S MARKETS AND CUSTOMERS

Amplifon provides hearing care products and services to individuals affected by hearing loss, thanks to the contribution made by hearing care professionals across its extensive distribution network in every market where it operates.

The Group operates through three regional structures:

  • EMEA
  • America
  • APAC

Amplifon is present in 26 countries with a network of over 10,100 locations, including: Italy, Spain, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Belgium, Portugal, the United Kingdom, Hungary, Poland, Israel, Egypt, the United States, Canada, Argentina, Chile, Ecuador, Panama, Colombia, Mexico, Uruguay, Australia, New Zealand, India, and China.

At a global level, over 1.5 billion people13 experience some degree of hearing loss, with 430 million requiring rehabilitation. With increasing life expectancy and rising noise exposure, the number of people affected is projected to grow significantly, potentially reaching 700 million by 2050. Amplifon is therefore expanding its efforts to raise awareness of hearing health across all age groups. At the same time, it is important to note that most of Amplifon's customers experience moderate to severe hearing loss, according to the hearing impairment classification established by the World Health Organization (WHO). The Group relies on more than 8,300 highly qualified specialists to provide personalised solutions aimed at enhancing the hearing health and overall quality of life of its customers.

Employee distribution by geographical area

THE GROUP'S PRODUCTS AND SERVICES

Amplifon provides hearing care products and services for individuals experiencing hearing loss. To do so, the Group sources hearing aids from leading global manufacturers and employs hearing care professionals who tailor the devices to each customer's hearing profile and specific needs.

In 2018, Amplifon has launched a line of Amplifon-branded products aimed at the private and paid-up segment of the market, while continuing to offer manufacturerbranded hearing aids in social market segments and in countries not yet included in the roll-out plan.

The "Amplifon Product Experience" serves as a unique driver for strengthening brand identity, differentiating services, and offering a comprehensive value proposition, combining product, service, and experience. The "Amplifon Product Experience", which includes Amplifon-branded products and the Amplifon omnichannel ecosystem, is an integrated system that places customers at the centre of a seamless experience where service and product work in full synergy. The Amplifon omnichannel ecosystem is an advanced digital platform that harnesses cuttingedge technology and big data analytics to collect and analyse hearing device usage patterns, customer feedback, and consumer needs. This data is then used to create a unique, personalised, and distinctive experience. The Amplifon Product Experience goes beyond the clinic visit, redefining the entire customer journey. It provides quick access to tailored, high-value services, designed to continuously enhance customer satisfaction. The Amplifon Product Experience has been successfully launched in 17 countries (Italy, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Spain, the United States - Miracle-Ear and Amplifon Hearing Health Care -, Australia, the United Kingdom, Belgium, Portugal, New Zealand, Switzerland, Argentina, Chile, Ecuador, Colombia and China), where the penetration rate reaches approximately 95% of revenues generated on the country's private and paid-up market within a few months of launch.

Within the Amplifon ecosystem, the App represents the first point of contact with consumers and enables support to be provided remotely. Completely redesigned in 2025, the Amplifon App is an integrated digital platform capable of supporting individuals throughout their entire hearing care journey – a digital hub for hearing health that combines technology, accessibility and patient support. With a penetration rate of 25%, up compared with the previous version, the new App allows users to perform hearing tests and manage their device functions in real time directly from their smartphone (such as volume control, noise reduction and speech focus). Through video tutorials and a chatbot based on generative artificial intelligence, it also provides immediate support for resolving minor issues, enabling users to easily book an appointment with their hearing care professional. The new version of the App has achieved higher average ratings compared with the previous version: 4.5 on Android and 4.6 on iOS, compared with 4.2 and 4.4 previously.

With a strong commitment to continuous sustainability improvement, the Group has developed its Amplifon-branded product packaging to be fully reusable and made with over 70% recycled materials. A solution developed with both environmental impact and actual usefulness for the end customer in mind. In 2025, the roll-out of the new packaging has been completed in 14 countries: Italy, Spain, Germany, Switzerland, Belgium, the Netherlands, France, Portugal, the United Kingdom, New Zealand, Australia, Chile, Argentina and China, while at the beginning of 2026 the roll-out was also extended to Ecuador and Colombia.

AMPLI-CARE

Ampli-care is Amplifon's cutting-edge platform, designed to deliver a revolutionary and personalised hearing experience, both during clinic visits and at every stage of the customer journey. Ampli-care is built on three pillars:

1. Immersive experience

As part of the Ampli-care ecosystem, Amplifon clinics are undergoing a complete transformation, gradually adopting an immersive store format as part of the Company's internal network renewal programme. With the aim of offering a unique experience to its consumers and strengthening the global brand, also through innovative architectural design, this new format - already present in more than 630 clinics worldwide - focuses on two key areas. The retail zone features a welcoming reception and waiting area, showcasing hearing solutions, while the Solution Room places the customer at the centre of the experience, alongside their caregiver and hearing care professional. This space is enhanced by immersive visual and digital elements, creating an engaging and interactive environment. The modular design follows a scalable approach, ensuring adaptability to the needs of all the different locations around the world. In addition, clinics are also equipped with state-of-theart diagnostic tools, such as Otopad, enabling interactive, touch-based audiology experiences. This technology allows for sophisticated hearing assessments, ensures standardised service quality at the highest level, and optimises the efficiency of hearing care professionals, ultimately enhancing the customer experience.

2. Hyper-personalised solutions

With cutting-edge technology and a 360° omnichannel approach, Ampli-care enables a deeper understanding of each customer, providing hearing care professionals with more insights than ever before to deliver a truly hyper-personalised experience.

Ampli-care also supports professionals in identifying the best hearing solution for each customer through a proprietary system known as the "solution builder engine", already implemented in clinics across Spain, the United Kingdom, and Belgium.

3. Always-connected support

With an advanced remote monitoring and assistance system, Amplifon's hearing care professionals remain constantly connected, allowing them to track how customers use their devices and identify specific needs - supporting them even when they are not in the clinic.

DIGITAL LEADERSHIP

Amplifon.com ranks first for organic traffic in the hearing care sector across six of the eight major markets in which Amplifon operates. Alongside the Group's other brands and digital channels, including social media, it continuously engages not only its customers but also their caregivers -friends and family members who play a key role in their hearing journey. With an in-house content creation team, Amplifon's websites are constantly optimised using a data-driven approach that is fully integrated with the Company's Customer Relationship Management (CRM) systems, ensuring ever greater effectiveness. In 2025, digital will be the primary channel for lead acquisition and the number of online appointment bookings has increased by approximately 22% globally compared to 2024. Additionally, through Earpros.com, the Group's unbranded platform, present in 16 countries, Amplifon has reached an additional 7 million users, who, on average, are four years younger than those engaging with Amplifon's branded websites.

AMPLIFON X

Amplifon X is the Group's internal start-up, dedicated to its digital innovation strategy. It is responsible for software design and the end-to-end development of highly innovative digital solutions, aimed at enhancing both clinical and remote hearing care services. With a team solely focused on digital innovation, Amplifon X enables the Group to continuously redefine the global standards of audiological care, strengthening its competitive advantage and delivering a unique, inimitable experience for both customers and hearing care professionals.

BUSINESS MODEL

Amplifon provides exceptional hearing care services directly to consumers by combining technical expertise, cutting-edge technology, and - above all - empathy. Those who choose Amplifon experience a tailored, exclusive journey that goes beyond simply purchasing a hearing device.

AMPLIFON 360 PROTOCOL

The success of a hearing solution depends on the expertise of Amplifon's hearing care professionals, who conduct hearing tests, select the most suitable device from the world's leading hearing technology manufacturers, and ensure a perfect fit based on each person's individual needs. To support this process, the Group developed the patented Amplifon 360 protocol (hereinafter also "Amplifon 360") that combines a data-driven approach with advanced yet easy-to-use technologies to assess hearing capabilities and guide audiologists in identifying the best hearing solution for each customer. Amplifon 360 enhances customer engagement during the evaluation process, allowing for a more in-depth analysis of individual needs and lifestyle factors. The protocol is presented to customers through interactive digital applications featuring a video interface, offering an immersive experience that helps them better understand their hearing profile and the benefits of their recommended solution. Demonstrating its effectiveness, the Amplifon 360 protocol has been approved by the Italian Society of Audiology and Phoniatrics (SIAF) and has received patents in the United States, Australia, and Europe, validating its uniqueness and innovative nature. These recognitions highlight its significant role in advancing audiological techniques. Importantly, Amplifon 360 protocol makes hearing care more accessible to countless individuals by offering free hearing tests to anyone visiting an Amplifon clinics. This initiative has generated substantial economic savings for customers, prospective clients, and the wider community. 116 117 AMPLIFON AT A GLANCE REPORT ON OPERATIONS CONSOLIDATED SUSTAINABILITY STATEMENT CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

VALUE CHAIN

Amplifon's value chain is designed to meet the evolving needs of the market and consumers, ensuring high quality, technological innovation, and a strong commitment to sustainability and customer care. The Group's value chain activities are specifically structured across several key phases, ranging from raw material procurement and product research & development to the distribution of finished products, delivery of high-value services, product usage, and disposal. The Group's value chain also stands out for its use and optimisation of certain intangible assets, such as brand and reputation, to foster trust-based relationships with its customers; innovation, which enhances the Group's competitiveness and ability to meet market demands with high-quality solutions; and highly specialised expertise, acquired both through rigorous talent acquisition and specific training programmes provided by the Group to its employees, serving as a key driver of differentiation and excellence.

PROCUREMENT

The procurement of raw materials is a critical upstream stage of the Group's value chain, through which suppliers of raw materials and semi-finished products (which for the Amplifon Group are tier 2) provide materials such as microchips, electronic circuits, and external casing materials (e.g., plastic, metal, and silicon) to hearing aid manufacturers. These components must be technologically advanced and reliable, but also safe and biocompatible, ensuring durability and optimal performance of hearing aids.

Regarding direct suppliers, the Group works with a limited number of key partners with whom it has built long-standing relationships over the years. The consolidation of these relationships enables continuous improvement in collaboration with suppliers, both in terms of business operations and sustainability initiatives. As a global leader, and considering the crucial role of hearing technology in customer interactions, Amplifon collaborates with the most reputable hearing aid manufacturers, carefully selecting the most suitable products and technologies for different markets. This ensures the safety and quality of the devices sold while providing comprehensive support to customers throughout the entire product lifecycle.

DISTRIBUTION

The distribution of Amplifon products integrates both direct and indirect channels, ensuring broad market coverage and a high-quality service across the downstream segment of the value chain. The Group is actively optimising its logistics and distribution model, including demand and inventory planning, warehouse and transport operations, and reverse logistics management. By leveraging end-to-end integration between upstream suppliers and retail outlets, Amplifon is enhancing its entire distribution network. This improvement is further supported by the implementation of new planning methodologies, automated stock replenishment technologies for stores, and the digitalisation of key processes.

SALE OF HIGH VALUE-ADDED PRODUCTS AND SERVICES

Amplifon provides both hearing aids and accessories, along with a full range of professional services designed to ensure the optimal use and effectiveness of its devices. These services include counselling, hearing tests, selection of the most suitable hearing solution, fitting (adjusting device parameters to match individual hearing needs), and assessment tests to evaluate improvements. The Group is committed to ensuring that every customer enjoys an optimal experience, with userfriendly devices and continuous monitoring, ultimately enhancing their quality of life and hearing well-being.

Amplifon operates through three key business models:

  • Business-to-Consumer: In EMEA, APAC, Canada, and Latin America, Amplifon serves customers through directly operated clinics. In the United States, operations are carried out through approximately 410 Miracle-Ear directly operated clinics.
  • Franchising: Miracle-Ear operates in the United States primarily through a franchise network. Its approximately 1,210 clinics run their business independently while aligning with the Group's strategic guidelines.
  • Managed care: Through agreements with leading insurance providers in the United States, Amplifon Hearing Health Care offers policyholders hearing solutions and services via a network that includes Miracle-Ear clinics and more than 5,580 independent clinics.

PROMOTION OF PRODUCTS AND SERVICES

Amplifon actively promotes its products and services through targeted marketing campaigns, events, and collaborations with healthcare professionals. The Company's promotional efforts also focus on raising awareness of the benefits of hearing aids and audiological solutions, emphasising the importance of early diagnosis and appropriate treatment for hearing loss. As an industry leader, Amplifon is committed to creating a synergistic regional network of creative partners, reinforcing its presence and impact across different markets.

DEVICE USAGE, ASSISTANCE AND TECHNICAL SUPPORT

The use phase of a hearing aid is designed to be intuitive and fully supported by ongoing assistance. This stage is considered critical, as it directly determines the effectiveness of the hearing solution for the customer and significantly impacts their quality of life. Post-sale support is a fundamental part of Amplifon's value chain. The Group provides continuous technical assistance, which includes: training activities on device usage and maintenance, scheduled follow-up visits, adjustments and finetuning of hearing aids, device cleaning and ongoing customer support.

END OF LIFE

The end-of-life phase of hearing aids occurs when devices are no longer functional or no longer meet the customer's needs, making their disposal necessary. At this stage, hearing aids are collected and properly disposed of, as they can no longer serve their original function. Devices may be outdated, irreparably damaged, or simply replaced with more advanced models. As electronic devices, they must be managed as electronic waste (WEEE) in compliance with the applicable regulations. Amplifon provides battery collection points in several clinics and, alternatively, consumers may dispose of end-of-life devices through other dedicated electronic waste collection channels.

The information provided is based on continuous updates to industry knowledge and insights, enabling the sector to maintain high standards of information quality. These updates are shared within the European Hearing Instrument Manufacturers Association (EHIMA), where the Group actively participated in several meetings throughout 2024. A more in-depth analysis of the Group's customer composition will be included in the ESRS S4 chapter on users and end consumers. However, the very nature of Amplifon's products and services brings significant benefits to its customers, in line with the Company's mission: to enhance people's lives by helping them rediscover the full range of sounds and emotions.

KEY HIGHLIGHTS OF ECONOMIC AND FINANCIAL RESULTS

In the 2025 financial year, Amplifon reported consolidated revenues of €2,395.7 million, up 1.7% at constant exchange rates compared with 2024, also supported by a significant improvement in organic growth in the second half of the year, despite market growth remaining below historical levels and a strong comparison base. Revenues were substantially stable, with a slight decline at current exchange rates due to the impact of foreign exchange movements. In particular, with respect to the different geographical areas:

  • The EMEA region reported revenues of €1,554.7 million, up 1.5% at current exchange rates and 1.4% at constant exchange rates compared with 2024.
  • Turnover in the Americas amounted to €495.8 million, up 4.0% at constant exchange rates and down 2.3% at current exchange rates compared with 2024.
  • In APAC, revenues totalled €345.2 million, compared with €370.3 million in 2024, representing a decrease of 0.4% at constant exchange rates and 6.8% at current exchange rates compared with 2024.
  • Furthermore, the Group operates through Corporate structures, which include central functions such as corporate bodies, general management, business development, procurement, treasury, legal affairs, human resources, information systems, global marketing, and internal audit. These do not qualify as operating segments under IFRS 8. These central facilities generated revenues of €342 thousand in 2024 and did not generate revenue in 2025.

THE GROUP'S SUSTAINABILITY STRATEGY

SUSTAINABILITY PLAN

Continuing the process of updating the Sustainability Plan initiated during 2023 and 2024, in order to ensure its alignment with global ESG megatrends and the main emerging regulations, in 2025 the Group carried out a further review of the Plan with the aim of proposing new targets capable of best reflecting Amplifon's commitment, as well as being used as parameters within the performance evaluation and variable incentive systems of Top Management.

With the publication of this Sustainability Statement, Amplifon has therefore further updated its Sustainability Plan by introducing a new target, in order to respond more effectively to the challenges posed by the external environment. The Sustainability Plan takes into account the priorities and expectations of key stakeholders, including employees, communities, suppliers, investors, and ESG rating agencies. It remains consistent with Amplifon's corporate culture while highlighting the Company's contribution to the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) most relevant to its business. Following review and validation by the RCSC and the BoD, the Plan has been periodically monitored and shared internally through dedicated update sessions to track and present the progress achieved. With the active involvement of key business functions, specific actions have been implemented to support each objective. Performance is monitored through regular updates to Top Management and governance bodies.

SUSTAINABLE FINANCE: SUSTAINABILITY-LINKED FINANCINGS

As part of its ongoing integration between financial and sustainability strategy, Amplifon has secured nine sustainability-linked credit facilities since 2021 for a total amount of over €1.2 billion:

  • The refinancing of the facility agreement originally signed following the acquisition of GAES, amounting to €210 million over five years. This agreement, signed in December 2021, involved a banking syndicate comprising UniCredit, Mediobanca, and BNPP-BNL and includes sustainability-linked KPIs from Amplifon's Sustainability Plan.
  • A €300 million sustainability-linked revolving credit facility, signed in June 2023 with a syndicate of banks (BNP Paribas, CaixaBank, Crédit Agricole Corporate and Investment Bank, UniCredit, and Banca Nazionale del Lavoro). This threeyear facility includes an option to extend for an additional two years at Amplifon's discretion. Like previous credit lines, this facility is linked to specific Sustainability Plan's targets, with an adjustment mechanism for the applicable interest margin based on performance against these targets. 126 127 AMPLIFON AT A GLANCE REPORT ON OPERATIONS CONSOLIDATED SUSTAINABILITY STATEMENT CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

THE GROUP'S DOUBLE MATERIALITY

[SBM-3] MATERIAL IMPACTS, RISKS AND OPPORTUNITIES AND THEIR INTERACTION WITH STRATEGY AND BUSINESS MODEL

[IRO-1] DESCRIPTION OF THE PROCESSES TO IDENTIFY AND ASSESS MATERIAL IMPACTS, RISKS AND OPPORTUNITIES

[IRO-2] DISCLOSURE REQUIREMENTS IN ESRS COVERED BY THE UNDERTAKING'S SUSTAINABILITY STATEMENT

OVERVIEW

Since 2021, Amplifon has adopted the principle of double materiality to evaluate key ESG topics, considering both Amplifon's impact on each topic (impact materiality) and how these topics may influence the Group's ability to create value and affect its financial performance (financial materiality).

From 2024, Amplifon has incorporated the requirements introduced by the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), further enhancing the double materiality process to ensure full compliance with the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS). In 2025, the results of the double materiality assessment were updated following a review of the ESG impacts, risks and opportunities considered material for Amplifon, in order to align them with the current year. This review took into account developments in the regulatory and legislative environment, as well as an analysis of ESG macro-trends, in order to promptly reflect emerging requirements and best practices at both national and international level.

THE DOUBLE MATERIALITY PROCESS

IDENTIFICATION OF IMPACTS, RISKS, AND OPPORTUNITIES

In 2024, the process of identifying the Group's ESG impacts, risks and opportunities was based on a comprehensive review of those identified in previous reporting years. More specifically:

  • impacts were defined on the basis of a series of in-depth analyses (desk research, review of institutional sources and analysis of the regulatory framework), which made it possible to update and align the list of impacts with the reporting year concerned;
  • ESG risks were identified and integrated based on the Group's Risk Universe, which is regularly updated through the Enterprise Risk Assessment process. This framework already included risks associated with material sustainability topics for 2023 sustainability reporting purposes, as well as physical and transition risks identified in the Group's Climate Change Risk Assessment conducted the same year;
  • ESG opportunities were identified through an analysis based on Amplifon's strategic pillars, sustainability objectives outlined in the Sustainability Plan and ESG initiatives implemented by the Group across different areas.

Negative or positive impacts, actual or potential, on people or the environment in the short, medium and long term were therefore considered. The identified impacts include those related to Amplifon's own operations, as well as its entire value chain, with particular attention to upstream activities and first-tier suppliers23, including those linked to products, services, and business relationships. The ESG risks and opportunities considered, likewise related to the Company's own operations and value chain, may have or currently generate a (positive or negative) impact on the Group in the short, medium or long term.

In 2025, the double materiality process focused on updating the list of sustainabilityrelated impacts, risks and opportunities (IROs) defined in 2024, including the integration of new IROs where deemed necessary, in order to ensure an accurate representation of the Group's business, its value chain and alignment with reporting requirements. The update was supported not only by discussions with the Group's key internal stakeholders and considerations regarding business developments, but also by a context analysis, a review of disclosures published by Amplifon's main peers and an assessment of selected industry best practices. This approach made it possible to further strengthen the analyses carried out in the previous year, particularly with regard to the IROs to be monitored across the value chain. 132 133 AMPLIFON AT A GLANCE REPORT ON OPERATIONS CONSOLIDATED SUSTAINABILITY STATEMENT CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

  1. The Group operates in three main markets (EMEA, America and APAC) where it is present with more than 10,100 points of sale. For more details, please refer to the sections "The Group's Markets and Customers" and "The Value Chain" in this chapter.

As an outcome, the double materiality assessment determined the material Disclosure Requirements (DRs) for the Group's sustainability reporting, ensuring full alignment with the guidelines provided by the EFRAG SRB working group. Compared with the previous financial year, no material changes emerged, except for the need to report on two additional Disclosure Requirements (DRs). The list of disclosure requirements covered by the Amplifon 2025 Sustainability Statement is detailed in the tables included in the Annex of this document.

STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT

In line with the Group Stakeholder Engagement Plan (formalised during 2022), a full review of the materiality analysis was carried out in 2024. This involved a structured stakeholder engagement process to support the identification and assessment of material IROs, engaging various stakeholder categories (capital providers, franchisees, employees, direct suppliers and indirect suppliers24) through focus groups, interviews and online questionnaires. Members of the Executive Leadership Team (ELT) and Top Management were also involved in the process.

This year, however, the update of the list of impacts primarily focused on the involvement of the Group's internal functions, engaged through two approaches:

  • targeted focus groups aimed both at gathering feedback on new impacts and/or changes to existing ones, and at assessing new impacts and confirming those already identified in the previous year, in accordance with the methodologies described in the following paragraph;
  • dedicated discussions aimed at confirming impacts already identified, thereby ensuring continuity and consistency with previous assessments.

With regard to the update of ESG risks and opportunities, the involvement of selected internal stakeholders was carried out as an integral part of the Enterprise Risk Assessment process, through one-to-one meetings aimed at identifying/reviewing ESG risks and opportunities and conducting their assessment, considering the different time horizons and using ad hoc evaluation scales.

At the conclusion of the process, the overall results were shared with the CFO and the CEO, who validated the outcomes.

IROS EVALUATION METHODOLOGY

Amplifon's methodology for assessing and prioritising impacts is based on four parameters:

  • • Scale: the extent to which a negative impact is harmful or the degree of benefit a positive impact provides to people or the environment.
  • • Scope: the spread of the impact, considering the percentage of employees, geographic sites, or markets affected.
  • • Probability: the likelihood of the impact occurring within the given time horizons. Probability is considered only for potential impacts.
  • • Irremediable character: the extent to which it is possible to remedy negative impacts, meaning whether the environment or affected individuals can be restored to their original state.

The score assigned to each impact (severity) is determined by multiplying the factors of scale and scope, with an additional probability factor applied. Each parameter is assessed using a rating scale from 1 (marginal) to 5 (very significant). If a negative impact is deemed irreversible, a proportional increase in severity is applied.

The assessment and related prioritisation of risks and opportunities are carried out using ad hoc evaluation scales based on two parameters:

  • • Scale: the potential positive or negative financial impact, including effects assessed through operational, reputational, compliance, or social impact criteria, linked to the occurrence of risks and opportunities.
  • • Probability: the likelihood of occurrence within the considered time horizon.

The risk assessment involves analysing both the scale and probability of occurrence, considering residual risk, starting from the theoretical inherent risk, except for climate-related risks, which are assessed using exclusively an inherent risk approach.

For more information on the Group's ERM methodology, please refer to the section "Risk Management" within the Report on Operations.

For both impacts and ESG risks and opportunities, the evaluations are conducted across three time horizons:

  • • Short-term: 1 year;
  • • Medium-term: 1-3 years;
  • • Long-term: 3 to 10 years.
  1. Direct suppliers are defined as global and regional manufacturers of hearing aids, accessories and related spare parts, batteries, earmolds, packaging, and hearing protection devices. Indirect suppliers, on the other hand, are defined as global and regional providers of goods and services not related to the final product.

DEFINITION OF MATERIALITY THRESHOLDS

The assessment of all IROs potentially relevant to the Group is supported by the application of materiality thresholds, aimed at identifying the IROs that are most significant for the Group. IROs with a score below the materiality threshold are excluded from the final list of material IROs. On the other hand, IROs are considered material if their final score is equal or exceeds the materiality threshold in at least one of the three time horizons.

More specifically, the materiality threshold is set at a score of 6 (medium) for risks (taking a prudent approach, considering the evaluation in terms of residual risk, except for climate risks).

The threshold for impacts and opportunities is set at a score of 8 (medium-high), reflecting an unadjusted analysis, meaning that potential mitigating actions or initiatives undertaken by the Group are not considered in the evaluation.

APPROVAL AND INTERNAL CONTROL SYSTEM

ON DOUBLE MATERIALITY

Each year, the results of the double materiality assessment are approved by the Global Investor Relations & Sustainability Director and subsequently presented to the CFO and CEO, who review the findings. The results are also reviewed by the Risk, Control and Sustainability Committee and the Board of Directors, which formally approves the outcomes of the double materiality analysis. In 2025, the double materiality assessment was approved on 29 October.

RESULTS OF THE DOUBLE MATERIALITY ANALYSIS

Following the update of the double materiality analysis, the assessment identified 21 impacts, 11 risks, and 3 opportunities as material, with 19 of these linked to the value chain (both upstream and downstream). The ESRS areas covered by the identified IROs encompass environmental, social, and governance aspects, including:

Topical Standard Impacts Risks Opportunities
ESRS E1 – Climate change 2 5 1
ESRS S1 – Own workforce 6 1 1
ESRS S2 – Workers in the value chain 1 1 0
ESRS S4 – Consumers and end-users 3 2 1
ESRS G1 – Business conduct 5 2 0
Entity specific 4 1 0
Total 21 12* 3

* The total number of risks reported in the table amounts to 12 instead of 11. This difference is due to double counting, as one risk is associated with multiple ESRS standards, as evidenced in the IRO list below.

The next section of this paragraph provides the complete list of material IROs, accompanied by a detailed description including information on the correlation between those IROs and the effects of the impacts on people and the environment, and an indication of how the impacts originate from or relate to the Company's strategy and business model, including relevant time horizons. Such section also provides a qualitative description of the anticipated financial effects related to ESG risks and opportunities. 134 135 AMPLIFON AT A GLANCE REPORT ON OPERATIONS CONSOLIDATED SUSTAINABILITY STATEMENT CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

In addition, an in-depth analysis was carried out regarding the current financial effects related to material ESG risks and opportunities, through the review of events that may be attributable to them and that could have had a significant impact during the year. It is noted that the analysis carried out does not reveal any material current financial effects.

Additionally, some IROs have been identified that are not currently aligned with sector-agnostic ESRS standards. These cover various aspects, including the well-being of communities and people in need, technological innovation, customer satisfaction and service quality, raising awareness on responsible listening, and cybersecurity.

The double materiality analysis highlights Amplifon's strong focus on social matters, emphasising the need to manage and report information related to its own workforce, workers in the value chain, and end-users/consumers (ESRS S1, S2, and S4).

From an environmental perspective, the identified impacts, risks, and opportunities are closely linked to climate change (E1). This applies to both an inside-out perspective, where Amplifon contributes to greenhouse gas emissions, and an outside-in perspective, through the management of a range of risks and opportunities, including: business and supply chain disruptions due to extreme weather events, increased operating costs also to comply with climate regulations, and the positive or negative evolution of stakeholders' perceptions on the Group's approach to sustainability.

The findings confirm Amplifon's long-standing strategic focus areas, which align with the nature and characteristics of its business model and are consistent with the analyses conducted as part of the strategic planning process (i.e. Group Strategy), with the Risk Management Model (ERM), the Climate Strategy and with the findings of the Group's Climate Change Risk Assessment (hereinafter also "CCRA"). The "Listening Ahead" Sustainability Plan (for further details, see section "Sustainability Strategy" of this chapter) has been developed also in response to the priorities and expectations of key stakeholders, that the Group has collected over the years, thus also responding to the areas of the IROs identified as material, incorporating concrete actions to enhance its performance and long-term sustainability.

The remaining sustainability topics (E2, E3, E4, E5, and S3) have been deemed nonmaterial for Amplifon, and therefore, all associated disclosure requirements have been omitted. This decision is based on the double materiality assessment, which found that no material impacts, risks, or opportunities were relevant to these ESRS categories, either due to the intrinsic significance of the IROs or the nature of Amplifon's business activities.

Below is the full list of the material impacts, risks and opportunities. It provides a detailed description of the IROs subject to the disclosure requirements set out in the ESRS, demonstrating their connection to Amplifon's business activities (Own Operations) or relevance to the Company's value chain (Upstream, Downstream), as well as how the Company is involved whether through its operations or business relationships (for further details, please refer to sub-paragraph "The value chain" of this chapter). In addition, the table includes columns relating to the three time horizons, indicating whether each IRO is material in the short, medium or long term. An IRO may also be considered material across multiple time horizons.

Compared with the impacts identified through the double materiality assessment carried out in 2024, in 2025 two main types of intervention were recorded: (i) refining the description of impacts in order to broaden their scope or make them clearer and more immediate to read, and (ii) adding new impacts. Overall, three additional impacts emerged compared with the previous year27. These changes did not result in significant changes to the topical standards subject to reporting; however, they led to the introduction of two new social Disclosure Requirements (S1-11 and S1-16).

With regard to the ESG risks and opportunities identified as material in 2024, the update of the so-called long list resulted in the integration of the descriptions of selected risks and opportunities, as well as the revision of certain associations with the related sustainability matters, leading to the removal of one material risk from the list. However, these changes did not result in any variations in the topical standards subject to reporting, nor to the introduction of new Disclosure Requirements related to ESG risks and opportunities.

The analyses on physical and transition risks carried out in the context of the "Climate Change Risk Assessment (also referred to as "C.C.R.A.") and described in the section "[E1 SBM-3] Impacts, relevant risks and opportunities and their interaction with the strategy and business model" of the chapter "ESRS E1 - Climate Change" were integrated within the double materiality process, where, jointly, Amplifon investigated its possible impacts in the climate context. When identifying environmental impacts, the Group considered its own activities, potential effects along the value chain, and strategic directions to determine current and potential sources of GHG emissions, as well as additional factors that may contribute to climate-related impacts and various relevant time horizons.

These activities led to the identification of specific risks, impacts, and opportunities related to climate change, particularly:

Risk Transition

In line with the approach previously described for determining impacts, risks, and opportunities, the Group has considered various environmental aspects referenced in the relevant reporting standards. No material IROs have been identified as associated with Standards E2, E3, E4, and E5, specifically:

  • Given the nature of the Group's business model, which does not involve direct production activities, monitoring environmental impacts related to pollution is not considered material. The Group's activities, including the management of its Company fleet of approximately 1,900 vehicles, are not deemed significant in terms of pollution, both due to the type of vehicles used and the fleet's overall scale. Regarding pollution, during periodic consultations with members of the European Hearing Instrument Manufacturers Association (EHIMA), no significant impacts, risks, or opportunities were identified that would require further investigation. Furthermore, the production of hearing aids and the provision of related services do not generate relevant impacts on air, water, or soil. This is due to the use of advanced technologies and the minimization of plastics and plastic derivatives, thereby reducing the risk of microplastic release into the environment. The activities do not involve the intensive use of substances or materials that could generate hazardous or contaminating waste. Additionally, hearing devices are designed to be durable and safe, consuming limited natural resources, thereby preventing significant contributions to pollution during both usage and disposal. No consultations with affected communities have been conducted to identify and assess pollution-related impacts, risks, and opportunities.

  • Similarly, no significant impacts, relevant risks, or opportunities requiring further examination have been identified in relation to water consumption, withdrawal, or discharge. This assessment is based on Amplifon's business model, which does not involve intensive water usage, and on the production activities of its suppliers, which are also not associated with significant water consumption and not located in areas with vulnerable water basins or subject to water stress. This conclusion is supported by the continuous dialogue that Amplifon maintains with key direct suppliers, primarily through its participation in the European Hearing Instrument Manufacturers Association (EHIMA) and the organisation of periodic meetings, held at least every two months, dedicated to sustainability topics. These discussions provide opportunities to share updates, identify areas for improvement, and ensure strategic alignment on environmental, social, and governance matters relevant to the Hearing Care sector. While no critical topics have been identified, Amplifon remains committed to continuously monitoring these aspects, actively collaborating with suppliers and other stakeholders to ensure responsible and sustainable management of natural resources.

  • Regarding biodiversity and ecosystems, including the protection of natural habitats, the preservation of key natural resources, and the prevention of habitat reduction, no specific analyses have yet been conducted on transition risks, physical risks, or potential dependencies. Periodic consultations with market stakeholders have not highlighted any significant impacts, risks, or opportunities requiring further investigation, considering both the nature of Amplifon's business model and the configuration of its value chain. Upstream production activities do not involve intensive use of materials whose extraction or consumption could be harmful to the environment and ecosystems. Downstream, the territorial presence of Amplifon clinics is concentrated in urban centres, away from areas of high biodiversity. This location minimizes the risk of ecosystem impacts and renders consultations with local communities on these topics unnecessary.

  • Amplifon acknowledges its impact concerning resource use and the circular economy. However, the analyses conducted have not identified impacts, risks, or opportunities significant enough to classify the circular economy as a material topic for the Group. Additionally, Amplifon has identified increasing the penetration rate of rechargeable devices as a strategic objective within its plan.

This decision reflects the Group's commitment to reducing the environmental impact of its products and promoting innovative and responsible solutions. No consultations with affected communities have been conducted to identify and assess impacts, risks, and opportunities related to resource use and the circular economy.

SUPPLIER CODE OF CONDUCT

In 2022, Amplifon adopted the Supplier Code of Conduct to share its standards and principles for responsible business conduct with its suppliers and business partners. Amplifon requires all direct and indirect suppliers, as well as business partners, to comply with all applicable laws and regulations in the countries where they operate and to commit to meeting the minimum standards and principles set out in the Supplier Code of Conduct. The document aims to strengthen the commercial relationship between Amplifon and its suppliers, going beyond mere compliance. For this reason, Amplifon requires suppliers and business partners to integrate these standards into their operations, procedures, and business practices, adopt them as their own, and communicate them to their employees, suppliers, and stakeholders. The areas covered include: business ethics and compliance, including anti-corruption, health, safety, and workers' rights, and environmental protection.

To ensure that all recipients of the Supplier Code of Conduct play an active role in its implementation, Amplifon encourages its suppliers, including their employees, to reach out via a dedicated email address ([email protected]) for questions or to report potential violations of the minimum standards and principles outlined in the Supplier Code of Conduct.

RESPONSIBILITY AND GOVERNANCE

The Supplier Code of Conduct was approved by the BoD of Amplifon S.p.A. in March 2022 and is publicly available on Amplifon's corporate website. The Company periodically reviews the Supplier Code of Conduct to ensure its adoption and enforcement and to align it with regulatory developments and the application of best practices.

DIVERSITY, EQUITY, INCLUSION AND BELONGING POLICY

Through the Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging (DEIB) Policy, Amplifon is committed to fostering a workplace environment that promotes diversity, equality, inclusion, and belonging. This policy applies across all business areas and to all employees, with the goal of overcoming biases and stereotypes, fostering collaborative work environments, and valuing individual differences as a source of strength.

Its core pillars are reinforced through an action plan that includes the implementation of concrete initiatives and a monitoring system based on KPIs, with progress regularly reported in the Sustainability Plan. The Policy aligns with and upholds the principles of the United Nations Global Compact and the Women's Empowerment Principles.

In developing the DEIB Policy, Amplifon considered the interests and needs of relevant stakeholders. The Policy is publicly available on the Company's website.

RESPONSIBILITY AND GOVERNANCE

The Human Resources department is responsible for implementing the Policy concerning key Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging (DEIB) topics. The DEIB Policy was approved by the Chief Executive Officer and shared with the Board of Directors in July 2022.

DATA PRIVACY POLICY

Amplifon's Data Privacy Policy is designed to ensure the proper, secure, and lawful handling of personal data belonging to employees, clients, prospects, and other individuals. The monitoring process includes regular second-level audits, risk assessments, and continuous updates to ensure that data protection measures remain effective. The policy also includes an ongoing commitment to monitor and address information security threats, defining roles and timelines for the implementation of controls and ensuring the prompt and appropriate implementation of any corrective actions.

ANTI-CORRUPTION POLICY

Since 2017, Amplifon's Anti-Corruption Policy has ensured ethical business conduct, safeguarding value creation and reinforcing the Group's core principles. The Policy guidelines, inspired by the Group's corporate culture and Code of Ethics, were developed by analysing business activities that could expose Amplifon to corruption risks. These guidelines promote the highest ethical and moral standards in all business relationships, ensuring that activities are conducted with loyalty, fairness, transparency, honesty, and integrity. The Policy also sets out specific rules to prevent, detect, and manage corruption risks. All Group directors, employees, suppliers, consultants, and any individuals acting on behalf of Amplifon must adhere to the values, standards, and principles set out in the Policy, as well as comply with legal requirements.

The Anti-Corruption Policy is made available to employees on the Company intranet and to all interested parties through the publication of a summary version on the website.

RESPONSIBILITY AND GOVERNANCE

Each country within the Group is responsible for adopting the Policy and establishing an anti-corruption system. The Group Internal Audit function conducts compliance audits in selected countries to assess the implementation level of the controls outlined in the Policy.

The Policy was updated in 2021, drawing inspiration from best practices and international standards, and approved by the Board of Directors.

WHISTLEBLOWING POLICY

Since 2020, Amplifon has introduced a structured process for handling reports ("Whistleblowing"), formalised in the Group Whistleblowing Policy. This Policy was updated in 2025 in order to incorporate the changes resulting from the implementation of the new Digital Whistleblowing Platform, as well as to continue the process of alignment with the relevant principles on whistleblowing and international best practices.

The Group Whistleblowing Policy defines the types of unlawful behaviours that Amplifon employees or third parties can report, the process for managing reports, as well as the rights and obligations of the whistleblower, in accordance with applicable regulations. In addition, the various reporting methods are explained, including the possibility of using a digital platform that enables reports to be made simply, securely, and confidentially. This platform also allows for further confidential communication between the whistleblower and the relevant authorities for additional clarifications.

The whistleblowing reporting channels under the Group Policy include, in addition to the Digital Whistleblowing Platform, a voice messaging system, email, ordinary mail and direct meetings. Regarding Amplifon S.p.A., in compliance with Italian regulations (Legislative Decree 24/2023), the Whistleblowing Policy was revised in 2025, at the same time as the Group's policy. In line with the provisions of the applicable legislation, specific channels have been set up to support reports relevant to Legislative Decree 231/01.

RESPONSIBILITY AND GOVERNANCE

The Amplifon Group's Whistleblowing Policy was approved by the Board of Directors in October 2025.

The current version mandates the establishment of a Whistleblowing Committee, composed of HR, Legal Affairs, and Internal Audit & Risk Management representatives. The Committee is responsible for receiving, analysing, and investigating reports, and proposing disciplinary measures for centrally managed cases (i.e. at Group level).

Furthermore, as part of the report management process, the Policy requires the Whistleblowing Committee to update the Risk, Control and Sustainability Committee and the Supervisory Body - for reports relevant to Italian Legislative Decree 231/01 - every six months, or promptly where appropriate, with a summary report of the activities carried out in relation to the reports received.

HUMAN RIGHTS POLICY

Amplifon's Human Rights Policy aims to formalise the Group's commitment to promoting and protecting fundamental human rights, in line with the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, the fundamental Conventions of the International Labour Organization and the ten principles of the United Nations Global Compact; it also complements other Group policies, such as the Code of Ethics, the DEIB Policy, the Sustainability Policy, the Supplier Code of Conduct and the Anti-Corruption Policy.

The Policy sets out the Group's commitment to preventing and mitigating any potential negative impacts related to the Group's priority human rights areas listed below:

  • Refusal of forced, compulsory and child labour.
  • Promotion of gender equality, diversity, inclusion and belonging
  • Protecting the health, safety and welfare of workers
  • Freedom of association and collective bargaining
  • Respect for personal dignity and prevention of harassment and abuse
  • Privacy and data protection
  • Fair remuneration and decent working conditions

The contents of this Policy apply to all Group Companies, in every country in which the Group operates, and to all Group personnel, including all employees, collaborators, suppliers, business partners and third-party stakeholders with whom the Group maintains professional relationships.

It applies to all Group Companies and represents the Group's commitment to respecting the human rights of its workforce, as well as throughout the entire value chain.

RESPONSIBILITY AND GOVERNANCE

Various departments of the Group are involved in the operational management of human rights matters, including: Global Investor Relations & Sustainability, Corporate Legal & Compliance, Human Resources, Procurement & Supply Chain ESG and Whistleblowing Committee.

The Group CEO is responsible for approving, adopting and supervising the Group's compliance with this Policy. Furthermore, since November 2025 the Policy has been available on the Company website.

ACTIONS, METRICS AND TARGETS

In the various chapters of the Sustainability Report, Amplifon has detailed the actions undertaken to manage impacts, risks, and opportunities related to material sustainability topics, in compliance with the requirements of the relevant ESRS thematic standards. Actions, metrics and targets have been identified in alignment with the objectives of the Sustainability Plan; in fact, the Group has chosen to focus its efforts on specific priority areas. Topics that are not yet covered will be addressed in the coming years through targeted actions, aiming to progressively and effectively respond to all identified needs. Where available, metrics and objectives have been integrated into the disclosure, ensuring consistency with the described actions and providing a clear overview of the Company's performance and progress. With reference to the paragraph " Governance-Related Entity Specific Disclosures", actions, metrics and targets, where present, are addressed within the relevant Disclosure Requirements , consistent with the structure proposed by the reporting standard.

The Group currently does not have a structured process to communicate the amount of financial resources allocated to each action related to significant impacts, risks, and opportunities presented in the Consolidated Sustainability Statement. However, where possible, expenses and investments made during the reporting year are presented in the respective thematic chapters.

examining all legal entities included within the reporting scope and proceeding with the analysis as follows:

  • Turnover: the economic activities generating turnover for the Group pertain to the sale of Hearing Aids under the sector "retail sale of medical and orthopaedic goods in specialised stores" (NACE Code 47.74). In light of this, the Group reviewed the activities defined under the EU Taxonomy and concluded that, under the current regulatory framework, its core business is not included among the Taxonomyeligible activities.
  • Capital Expenditure: as part of the analysis, specific assessments were carried out regarding the presence of CapEx related to the purchase of products originating from Taxonomy-aligned economic activities, as well as individual measures that enable activities contributing to the climate change mitigation objective to achieve low-carbon emissions or greenhouse gas (GHG) reductions. In light of this, the Group examined the activities covered by the EU Taxonomy and concluded that no significant capital expenditure is included among the activities eligible for the taxonomy regulation.

At present, the Group does not have a process in place to verify compliance with the technical screening criteria. For this reason, it is not able to report any Taxonomyaligned amounts.

MINIMUM SAFEGUARDS

In carrying out activities in accordance with the requirements of the EU Taxonomy Regulation, the Amplifon Group has conducted an analysis to assess compliance with the Minimum Safeguards. Specifically, the Group has examined all the aspects outlined in Article 18.1 of the Regulation, assessing compliance and the corresponding management approaches. While the Group already implements policies, governance models, and actions in the areas of human rights, anticorruption, taxation, and fair competition, it does not yet fully meet all the requirements set out in Regulation (EU) 2020/852. However, in light of the rapidly evolving landscape, the Group will continue to carry out the necessary analyses to assess any potential further enhancements.

ENVIRONMENTAL INFORMATION EU TAXONOMY

The purpose of the European Union (EU) Taxonomy28 is to redirect public and private investments toward environmentally sustainable economic activities, thereby contributing to the European Commission's goal of achieving carbon neutrality by 2050. The EU Taxonomy defines environmentally sustainable economic activities as those that:

  • Make a substantial contribution to one of the six environmental objectives: (i) Climate change mitigation; (ii) Climate change adaptation; (iii) Sustainable use and protection of water and marine resources; (iv) Transition to a circular economy; (v) Pollution prevention and control; (vi) Protection and restoration of biodiversity and ecosystems;
  • Do No Significant Harm (DNSH) to any of the other environmental objectives;
  • Comply with minimum social safeguards.

Recognizing the EU Taxonomy as a key tool to guide the private sector toward sustainable practices, and in order to ensure clear and transparent communication about its activities, Amplifon Group has been carrying out monitoring activities since 2021 to understand regulatory obligations, track legislative updates, and plan the reporting process. The Amplifon Group initially focused on regulatory analysis and the contextualisation of its sector for the purpose of applying the EU Taxonomy Regulation. Subsequently, starting from 2023, the Group has carried out a review and update of the analysis previously conducted, in order to identify and disclose information regarding the share of turnover, capital expenditure (CapEx), and operating expenditure (OpEx) derived from products or services associated with Taxonomy-eligible and/or Taxonomy-aligned economic activities. This phase was conducted with the involvement of the Group Procurement and Accounting functions,

  1. The EU Taxonomy framework is established by the following regulations: Regulation (EU) 2020/852 of the European Parliament and the Council of 18 June 2020; Climate Delegated Act; Regulation (EU) 2021/2139 of the European Commission; Complementary Climate Delegated Act or Regulation (EU) 2022/1214 of the European Commission; Environmental Delegated Act or Regulation (EU) 2023/1114 of the European Commission It should be noted that the Group has exercised its right not to adopt the measures provided for in Delegated Regulation (EU) 2026/73.

TURNOVER, CAPEX, AND OPEX ANALYSIS

TURNOVER

Based on the analysis outlined in the previous section, the Group does not generate turnover from economic activities within the scope of the EU Taxonomy. As a result, the numerator of the turnover KPI is zero. The total turnover value of €2,396 million coincides, also in consideration of the currency in which the figure is stated, with the sales and services for the financial year 2025 as also indicated in Note 30 "Revenues from sales and services" within the Consolidated Financial Statements and Related Notes section of the Annual Report. The KPI, as required by Regulation (EU) 2020/852, is defined as the portion of turnover eligible under the Taxonomy (numerator) divided by the total turnover (denominator).

Climate change mitigation, adaptation, and the transition to a low-carbon economyare among the most pressing global priorities. As a leader in the hearing caresector, Amplifon is committed to responsibly managing its business activities inlight of the potential physical and transition risks associated with climate change.These risks include the increasing frequency and severity of extreme weather opportunities, and management systems.Within the CCRA, Amplifon mapped potential physical and transition climate risks,assessing exposure and potential impacts on both Amplifon's own assets (offices,clinics, warehouses/distribution centres) and direct suppliers' facilities (production

As physical risks, six extreme weather events have been considered that could have a significant impact on Amplifon's assets and those of its direct suppliers (heatwaves, flash floods, coastal flooding, wildfires, windstorms, and river flooding) in relation to the three climate scenarios defined by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC):

  • • RCP 2.6 Orderly: timely energy transition, with a gradual reduction in greenhouse gas emissions starting from 2020, reaching net zero by 2100;
  • • RCP 4.5 Disorderly: delayed energy transition, starting from 2030, carried out in an uncoordinated manner among countries, resulting in higher costs compared to the RCP 2.6 scenario;
  • • RCP 8.5 Hot house world: worst-case scenario, which does not foresee any reduction in greenhouse gas emissions. Associated with the concept of "Business as usual", where the growth of greenhouse gas emissions continues at current rates.

To determine the risk exposure of each asset, five risk categories have been identified for each climate event. The average level of exposure for the companies analysed was calculated as the mean of the risk exposure scores for all physical assets, identified risks, considered climate scenarios, and different time horizons. This methodology made it possible to identify the number of occurrences of climate risk in a specific country and within a specific time horizon.

The types of physical risks to which Amplifon is exposed vary depending on the country where the Group operates. In general, under the RCP 2.6 scenario, almost all acute physical risks, such as wildfires, flash floods, and river floods, are classified as very low or low. However, depending on the specific characteristics of the country analysed, these risks may be classified as very high even under the RCP scenario by 2030. In some cases, these risks, which are not progressive, may even decrease in the RCP 4.5 and RCP 8.5 scenarios, mainly due to increased evapotranspiration.

With regard to heatwaves and coastal flooding, under the RCP 2.6 scenario up to 2030 these risks are generally assessed as very low or low, but they show an increasing trend under the RCP 4.5 and RCP 8.5 scenarios. By 2050, under the RCP 8.5 scenario, exposure to these risks may reach high or very high levels.

Lastly, windstorm risk tends to decrease over the long term. It remains stable under the RCP 2.6 scenario and in the early time horizons of the RCP 4.5 scenario, before progressively declining under the same scenario. Under the RCP 8.5 scenario, this risk becomes almost negligible, as there is no scientific evidence linking the severity or frequency of windstorms to climate change.

Regarding transition risks and opportunities, which stem from the shift towards a low-carbon economy, the analysis was conducted using the transition scenarios of the Network for Greening the Financial System (NGFS).

  • • Net Zero 2050: scenario that assumes the introduction of ambitious climate policies. Carbon dioxide removal systems are used to accelerate decarbonisation. Net CO2 emissions reach zero around 2050, with at least a 50% probability of limiting global warming to less than 1.5°C. This scenario is comparable to the IPCC's RCP 2.6 scenario.
  • • Delayed Transition: scenario that envisions a delayed transition. It assumes that no new climate policies are introduced before 2030 and that the degree of action varies significantly between countries. It assumes limited availability of carbon dioxide removal systems and higher carbon prices than in the Net Zero 2050 scenario. There is a 67% probability of limiting global warming to less than 2°C. This scenario corresponds to the IPCC's RCP 4.5 scenario.
  • • Current Policies: scenario that assumes that only existing policies remain in place, allowing emissions to continue growing until 2080, leading to approximately 3°C of global warming. This scenario aligns with the IPCC's RCP 8.5 scenario.

Four risk categories aligned with the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) were analysed, which could pose adaptation challenges for Amplifon and its suppliers. These include policy or legal risks, technological risks, market risks, and reputational risks.

The analysis was conducted on the same panel of companies selected for the climate risk assessment, defining some measurement indicators for each type of risk, such as Scope 1 and Scope 3 emissions intensity, carbon prices, energy intensity, emission reduction targets, and ESG ratings performance. Each indicator was assigned a score from 1 to 5. The average exposure to all transition risks was subsequently calculated using a weighted average of the resulting scores. Finally, to adapt transition risks to the climate scenarios mentioned above and to different time horizons, the average exposure levels were adjusted, reflecting either improving or worsening trends, based on future exposure projection trends.

Similar considerations were made regarding technological risk, where Amplifon's exposure was deemed low due to the characteristics of its business and activities. Taking into account emission reduction targets, energy prices, and EU regulations, Amplifon's exposure to market risk was assessed as medium. Finally, during the assessment, given that Amplifon has lower Scope 3 emissions compared to the panel of companies analysed and performs better than average in ESG ratings, its exposure to reputational risk was classified as medium.

Extreme climate events may pose risks to Amplifon's business, particularly in relation to clinics and distribution centres.

The final climate risk assessment was therefore integrated into the Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) process, both quantitatively and qualitatively, with a short-, medium-, and long-term time horizon (respectively, 2030, 2040, 2050). To integrate the final assessments into ERM, two intermediate climate scenarios were considered in the analysis: the IPCC RCP 4.5 climate scenario for physical risks and the NGFS "Delayed Transition" scenario for transition risks and opportunities. The final rating, derived from probability and impact assessments conducted together with risk owners, provides an indication of Amplifon's residual risk level, taking into account the adaptation and mitigation measures already implemented to reduce potential negative impacts. Based on the results of analyses conducted in 2023 and considering the Group's activities and business model, no activities were identified as incompatible with the transition to a climate-neutral economy, nor were any significant exposures to climate change risks detected in the short, medium, and long term. Nevertheless, Amplifon remains committed to maintaining continuous oversight of these risk categories and will continue to assess them annually within the ERM process.

For details on the nature and type of risks identified (physical or transitional), please refer to the section "Processes for identifying and assessing impacts, risks and opportunities" in the chapter "General Information (ESRS 2)".

[E1-1] TRANSITION PLAN FOR CLIMATE CHANGE MITIGATION

[E1-3] ACTIONS AND RESOURCES IN RELATION TO CLIMATE CHANGE POLICIES

[E1-4] TARGETS RELATED TO CLIMATE CHANGE MITIGATION AND ADAPTATION

The transition towards a low-carbon business model represents a strategic priority for Amplifon. In this context, a climate change mitigation plan has been defined, integrating emission reduction targets across the entire value chain, energy efficiency initiatives and the progressive use of renewable energy sources.

The emission reduction targets defined by the Group have been calibrated on the basis of the most recent scientific scenarios and are consistent with a decarbonisation pathway aligned with limiting global warming in line with the commitments undertaken under the Paris Agreement29 (as validated by the Science Based Targets initiative – SBTi). The alignment process with the SBTi began in 2023 and target validation was obtained in September 2025. In particular, targets consistent with the SBTi short-term cross-sector criteria have been validated, with a 1.5°C30 ambition for Scope 1 and Scope 2 and a well-below 2°C31 ambition for Scope 3. Accordingly, the Group is committed to reducing Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions32 by 42% by 2030 compared to 2023. Amplifon also commits to reducing absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions from the categories Purchased goods and services, Capital goods, Fueland energy-related activities, Upstream transportation and distribution, Employee commuting, Upstream leased assets, Use of sold products and Franchisees by 25% by 2030 compared to the 2023 base year. Finally, Amplifon commits to ensuring that, by 2030, 44.36% of its suppliers (in terms of emissions associated with the Purchased goods and services category) will have set science-based targets. 166 167 AMPLIFON AT A GLANCE REPORT ON OPERATIONS CONSOLIDATED SUSTAINABILITY STATEMENT CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

In light of its current business model, Amplifon does not foresee the presence of locked-in greenhouse gas emissions arising from its products or key assets; accordingly, such emissions do not affect the achievement of emission reduction targets nor do they generate transition risks.

  1. Amplifon is not currently excluded from EU Paris-aligned benchmark indices.

30. Targets consistent with the level of decarbonisation required to limit global temperature increase to 1.5°C compared to pre-industrial levels.

31. Targets consistent with the level of decarbonisation required to keep global temperature increase well below 2°C compared to pre-industrial levels.

32. Scope 2 emissions have been calculated using the market-based method.

As part of its Transition Plan, during 2025 Amplifon launched a Global Climate Strategy entitled "Listening to Our Planet", aimed at achieving the validated SBTi targets by integrating past initiatives with the definition of new actions to reduce the Group's emissions impact, in alignment with the Sustainability Plan33.

This transition pathway is outlined through a set of decarbonisation levers and priority actions that will support the achievement of emission reduction targets. These initiatives, covering both operational activities and the value chain, are intended to accelerate the Group's decarbonisation.

    1. The Group has chosen not to publish a detailed breakdown of the expected reduction percentage for each individual lever. This decision is motivated by the dynamic nature of Amplifon's retail business model and the complexity of the global macroeconomic and technological context, which requires flexibility in the allocation of reduction efforts among the various decarbonisation levers, which are monitored internally on an annual basis to ensure a consistent and accurate view of the overall decarbonisation trajectory. This approach also allows for the protection of sensitive information regarding procurement strategies and commercial partnerships, while maintaining maximum transparency towards stakeholders through annual reporting of actual progress against scientifically validated medium-term targets.
  • 34.In this regard, it should be noted that since 2019, and renewed in 2025, the Spanish subsidiary Amplifon Ibérica has obtained ISO 14001 environmental certification for its headquarters and warehouse.
    1. This activity involved an operating expense (OpEx) of approximately Euro 7 million, as reported in Explanatory Note 31 "Operating Costs" within the section Consolidated Financial Statements and Related Notes, which shows the operating costs for the year 2025.

Identified actions: promotion and support of sustainable mobility programmes.

As for Scope 1 and 2, an illustrative chart of the decarbonisation plan aimed at achieving the targets set for Scope 3 is presented below; in particular, the chart shows baseline emissions, target emissions and decarbonisation levers. Compared to the chart relating to Scope 1 and 2, the contribution to total emissions reduction associated with the Supplier Engagement Target – linked to suppliers setting sciencebased targets – is also shown.

The decarbonisation levers outlined above are integrated into the broader management of the Group's operations; therefore, at present, no significant extraordinary investments or costs are expected to be required in order to achieve the decarbonisation targets.

The transition plan is designed to be fully consistent with the Company's overall business strategy, ensuring that decarbonisation objectives are aligned with the Company's operational and growth priorities. The initiatives envisaged under the plan are integrated into financial planning, including targeted investments, assessments of economic returns and operating cost planning, in order to ensure economic and environmental sustainability over the medium to long term.

The transition plan was approved by the Company's CEO and CFO and presented to the Board of Directors during 2025, a year that also saw the first phases of implementation being launched. The Company has begun integrating the main initiatives into its operational and financial processes, monitoring results through key performance indicators (KPIs). This makes it possible to assess from the outset the effectiveness of the actions undertaken and to make any adjustments needed to accelerate the pathway towards the emissions reduction targets.

[E1-2] POLICIES RELATED TO CLIMATE CHANGE MITIGATION AND ADAPTATION

In alignment with its Sustainability Policy, Amplifon is increasingly focused on environmental topics and the challenges posed by climate change, monitoring its performance and carbon footprint not only at the office and clinic level but across the entire value chain. With the adoption and update of the Environmental Policy in 2024 (refer to section "Policies, actions, metrics and targets" of the "General disclosures (ESRS 2)" chapter), the Group has formalised its commitments towards climate change mitigation and adaptation, energy efficiency, reduction of consumption, and the use of renewable energy sources, as well as additional environmental aspects such as waste management, circularity, and water consumption management. Specifically, the policy outlines Amplifon's commitments in terms of improving and monitoring environmental performance, promoting best practices, raising awareness and providing training, ensuring compliance with applicable regulations, maintaining transparency with stakeholders, and monitoring and managing environmental impacts, risks, and opportunities.

[E1-6] GROSS SCOPES 1, 2, 3 AND TOTAL GHG EMISSIONS

Since 2022, Amplifon has been measuring its carbon footprint, which includes both direct and indirect emissions generated by the Group's activities (Scope 1 and 2), as well as indirect emissions identified by the GHG Protocol along the value chain (Scope 3). Among the 15 Scope 3 emission subcategories identified by the GHG Protocol, 12 have been deemed relevant and applicable to the Group38, considering the nature of Amplifon's business and the absence of manufacturing activities.

In 2024, the Group implemented an emission inventory improvement plan, enhancing the granularity and quality of primary data and calculation models, also in preparation for the submission of "near-term" decarbonisation targets to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) in 2025.

The total emissions volume for 2025 showed a 14% reduction compared to the measurements for 2024. With regard to Scope 1 and 2 emissions, which account for 10% of total GHG emissions, no significant increases or decreases were recorded. For Scope 3, a 15% reduction in emissions was observed, mainly attributable to: improvements in data collection that enabled the integration of more primary data and supplier-specific information into the calculation models, updates to emission factor databases, and a decrease in capital expenditure. 16% of Scope 3 emissions were calculated based on primary data obtained from suppliers or other partners along the value chain.

Emissions intensity is instead calculated by considering the total emissions and the total revenues of the Group (total consolidated revenues as also indicated in explanatory note 30 "Revenues from sales and service" within the Consolidated Financial Statements and Related Notes section of the Annual Report), and is therefore equal to 55.20 tCO2e/million € (location-based) and 52.29 tCO2e/million € (market-based). In particular, compared to the previous year, carbon intensity decreased by 13.9% (market-based) and by 13.0% (location-based), mainly driven by the overall reduction in total emissions.

The emission categories related to downstream transportation and distribution (3.9), processing of sold products (3.10), and downstream leased assets (3.13) were considered not applicable to Amplifon's operations, as they are not present along the value chain (3.10, 3.13) or because the Group has no potential to influence their reduction (3.9).

SCOPE 3 EMISSIONS, 2025 BY SUBCATEGORY AND MAIN EMISSION SUBCATEGORIES

CATEGORY DATA DESCRIPTION AND METHODOLOGY EMISSION FACTORS DATABASE
Scope 1 Emissions from heating at offices and directly operated clinics, fuelconsumption for Company vehicles, and the use of refrigerant gases. Theseemissions are calculated based on primary data collected from clinics andoffices or, where unavailable, estimated using the average consumption forthe same country, where possible, weighted according to surface area. Emission factors were sourced from the DEFRA 2025 database and theIPCC AR6.
Scope 2 Indirect emissions from the consumption of purchased electricity andthermal energy, calculated using both the location-based and market-basedapproaches, based on primary data collected from clinics and offices. Whereprimary data were unavailable, emissions were conservatively estimatedusing the same methodology as for Scope 1. For the location-based and market-based approaches, the followingdatabases were used: IGES 2025 (CO2 only), AIB 2025 (CO2 only), eGrid2023, and national databases where available.
Cat. 3.150.8% of Scope 3 Emissions associated with the production of products and servicespurchased by the Group, mainly arising from direct procurement (hearingdevices and related accessories, water consumption) and indirectprocurement (marketing services, general services, business expenses,consulting, and IT services). The category was calculated using a hybridapproach, incorporating both activity data and expenditure data. For activity data (as defined by GHG Protocol), Ecoinvent 3.12 and DEFRA2025 emission factors were applied. For expenditure data, emissionfactors from CEDA 2025 were used. For expenditure data related tomaterial suppliers, supplier-specific emission factors were applied,calculated based on publicly available data (GHG emissions data fromScope 1, 2 and 3 and most recent revenue available).
Cat. 3.211.3% of Scope 3 Emissions associated with the production of capital goods purchased bythe Group, primarily linked to the clinic network and IT infrastructure. Theemissions calculation is based on a hybrid approach, using product-specificemissions data, activity data for IT equipment and for materials purchasedin stores refurbished according to the new store format, where available, aswell as spend-based data. For activity data (as defined by GHG Protocol), Ecoinvent 3.12 emissionfactors were applied. For expenditure data, emission factors from CEDA2025 were used. For expenditure data related to material suppliers,supplier-specific emission factors were applied, calculated based onpublicly available data (GHG emissions data from Scope 1, 2 and 3 andmost recent revenue available). The product-specific emissions data arederived from LCA studies carried out by suppliers.

Opportunity
  1. It is specified that, at present, the Company has not identified any material impacts on its workforce resulting from transition plans aimed at reducing environmental impacts and achieving more sustainable and carbon-neutral operations. Furthermore, considering the nature of the Group's business and its operations, no risks related to forced or compulsory labour have been detected. Within the process of identifying material risks related to its own workforce, the relevant functions have not highlighted any risks associated with child labour; across both categories of the Company's own workforce covered in this assessment, no specific worker profiles (e.g., individuals with disabilities) have been identified as being particularly exposed to potential negative impacts identified by the Group.

In relation to the impacts, risks and opportunities identified, Amplifon considers and discloses in this report the related management approaches for all its workers. This approach reflects the specific activities carried out by the business and the absence of impacts associated solely with specific situations or isolated incidents.

The Group's HR strategy reflects both the rapid growth of the business and the commitment to further consolidating Amplifon's global leadership in the hearing care market. These factors have enabled the development of a global HR strategy that effectively responds to the challenges of an increasingly complex and dynamic landscape. By leveraging the professionalism and talent of all employees, this strategy supports the achievement of business objectives.

The Amplifon Group's workforce of 20,979 in 2025 consists of 72% employees and 28% non-employees:

Employees

The Group's employees, amounting to 15,078 (72% of the total workforce), are divided into back-office employees (workforce operating in Amplifon's offices, including Executives, Directors, Managers, and Professionals) and field force (employees working in sales outlets across different territories, including Field Management, Hearing Care Professionals, Hearing Aids Specialists, Client Advisors).

Non-Employees

Non-employees, totalling 5,901 (28% of the total workforce), carry out complementary or support functions for employees, either in back-office roles (e.g., BoD Members, Agency Workers, consultants, trainees, or interns) or within the field force (typically Hearing Aids Specialists and Client Advisors).

Amplifon ensures that all its employees operate in an ethical working environment that fosters inclusivity, equity, and the protection of human rights. This is achieved also through the implementation and communication of the Group's Code of Ethics, which guarantees that all activities are conducted in compliance with the law, in a framework of fair competition, and in full respect of customer needs and the legitimate interests of employees, shareholders, business and financial partners, and the communities in which the Group operates. Furthermore, in order to foster well-being and employee satisfaction, the Group offers a personalised well-being programme, tailored to the regulatory requirements and best market practices in each of the countries where it operates. This programme is continuously improved each year to ensure alignment with local and international compliance requirements, positioning Amplifon as a fair employer while ensuring that well-being initiatives are recognised as a strategic lever within the Group's policies. This is considered a key factor in enhancing the Group's ability to attract, retain, and engage top talent.

As a testament to this commitment, in 2025, Amplifon was certified as a "Top Employer 2026" for the fifth consecutive year across 20 countries: Germany, Italy, Spain, France, Portugal, the Netherlands, the United States of America, Canada, Panama, Colombia, New Zealand, Belgium, Argentina, Chile, Ecuador, Australia, China, India, Singapore and Switzerland (in the last four countries, certification was obtained for the first time this year), as well as four Regions (Europe, North America, Latin America and Asia Pacific). In addition, for the first time Amplifon achieved the Global Top Employer Certification, a recognition granted to only 17 companies worldwide, becoming the first Italian Company and the first in the medical sector to reach this important milestone.

MANAGEMENT OF IMPACTS, RISKS, AND OPPORTUNITIES CONCERNING THE GROUP'S WORKFORCE

[S1-1] POLICIES RELATED TO OWN WORKFORCE

ANNUAL REPORT 2025

In 2025, the Group formalised its commitment to Human Rights by publishing its policy on the subject. The Human Rights Policy was drafted in line with the principles of the UN Global Compact, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and in compliance with the International Labour Organization (ILO) conventions on fundamental Human Rights, and sets out the Group's commitment to respect fundamental human rights and workers' rights in all the countries in which it operates, both in its business activities and in its relationships with third parties, condemning all forms of forced, compulsory and child labour and paying attention to labour rights aspects (please refer to the paragraph "Policies, actions, metrics and targets" in the chapter "General disclosures (ESRS 2)" for further information). Amplifon's commitment to promoting respect for workers' rights and ensuring dignified, respectful, and safe working conditions is explicitly outlined also in its Sustainability Policy. Additionally, Amplifon takes a proactive approach to engaging its stakeholders, particularly its own workforce, to identify and address any potential or actual impacts on human rights. The Company is committed to monitoring negative human rights impacts, both current and potential, and implementing corrective measures where necessary to prevent and/or remediate such impacts. The Group's Whistleblowing System also allows for the reporting of aspects covered within the Group's Code of Ethics, including human rights, thus ensuring a secure and confidential channel for reporting any violations or concerns regarding the protection of the fundamental rights of its workforce by every person in the Group.

In line with the contents of the Code of Ethics and the Sustainability Policy, in 2022 the global DEIB (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, Belonging) Policy was formalised and approved; please refer to the paragraph "Policies, actions, metrics and targets" in the chapter "General disclosures (ESRS 2)" for more information), which consolidates the importance Amplifon attributes to an impartial, fair and inclusive work environment. With the aim of valuing human differences, the policy covers, among others, the following aspects:

1. Cultural Background

Amplifon places great value on bringing together individuals with diverse cultures, backgrounds, ethnicities, languages, religions, and nationalities, as this diversity fosters innovation, accelerates growth, and enhances decisionmaking capabilities.

2. Gender

Amplifon believes in gender equality and promotes principles and actions aimed at improving equal opportunities, eliminating any potential barriers, including those related to sexual orientation, gender identity, and work-life balance.

3. Populations And Ethnicities

Amplifon is committed to identifying and combating all forms of racism to create a better future for future generations. All populations and ethnicities are welcome and protected in Amplifon.

4. Disability

Amplifon is committed to promoting disability inclusion and constantly strives to make the workplace safe and inclusive for everyone.

5. Age

Amplifon fosters an inclusive work environment, embracing the presence of five generations and recognising the benefits of diverse values and experiences. Amplifon's mission is to ensure that in the Company employees of all ages feel valued.

To ensure a consistent commitment at every organisational level, the policy outlines specific actions regarding:

  • developing a work environment rooted in diversity, fostering a tolerant, flexible, and collaborative culture that adapts to the evolving needs of professional contexts;
  • emphasising equity as fairness and justice, acknowledging that not all individuals are equal due to historical or systemic biases. Amplifon strongly believes in encouraging people to develop their unique talents and express their full potential, welcoming anyone who can bring tangible value to the organisation and ensuring equal opportunities for all employees;
  • creating a workspace where everyone feels included, safe, and free to embrace their unique ideas and habits, feeling empowered and motivated. This commitment also extends to fostering the inclusion of people with disabilities. In this regard, the Group is committed to providing access to training and development initiatives to support and enhance the careers and personal growth of all its people;
  • fostering a culture of belonging that enables everyone to be themselves, express themselves freely, and be creative and innovative, unlocking their full potential. Our commitment translates into creating a workplace free from discrimination and harassment, where all employees can voice their opinions and report inappropriate behaviour.

To ensure the effective implementation of the Policy across business processes, Amplifon has developed a DEIB Action Plan, outlining current and future initiatives that will enable the Company to translate the four pillars of the policy into concrete actions.

Furthermore, such policy is implemented in daily operations through specific procedures aimed at preventing, reducing, and addressing discrimination while actively promoting diversity and inclusion, particularly in the following areas:

  • • Selection: Amplifon assesses a diverse pool of candidates in terms of gender and age, ensuring a selection process focused on leadership, business, and technical skills, conducted in a clear, transparent, evidence-based manner, free from any discriminatory criteria. All stakeholders involved in the selection process receive training to ensure a bias-free evaluation, and all recruitment materials (e.g., job descriptions) avoid any mention of personal characteristics or preferences, adhering to the principle of non-discrimination.
  • • Training: Amplifon promotes training and development programmes designed to connect individuals with different experiences, backgrounds, functions, and countries, allowing each employee to broaden their knowledge continuously and achieve professional growth solely based on merit. Through dedicated training programs (both digital and non-digital), available to employees, the Group promotes specific content to enhance diversity, encourage inclusive (bias-free) behaviours, communicate effectively across different cultures within the Group, and encourage intergenerational work and teams composed of different nationalities (e.g., the Managing across Cultures training). Furthermore, the Group strongly believes in global internal mobility as a catalyst for personal and professional growth. To facilitate movement within the Group, Amplifon implemented a competitive Global Mobility Policy.
  • • Performance evaluation and compensation: individual performance assessments are based on a globally standardised framework of objectives and behaviours, without any geographical or gender-based distinctions. Additionally, equity principles embedded in the Group's Remuneration Policy ensure full ethical integrity and fairness in the performance and compensation review process. During the definition of individual annual objectives, the Group encourages employees and managers to reflect on personal talents and strengths, ensuring that the process is conducted free from bias, as is the case in the Talent Review process.

  • • Delivery of an interactive training programme for Back Office Managers worldwide on diversity and unconscious bias management: promoting awareness of diversity and unconscious bias, with the aim of improving team management and raising participants' awareness of diversity and unconscious bias matters, thereby helping to create an inclusive and sustainable working environment. The training was delivered in 21 countries, with the aim of covering the entire Group in 2026.
  • • Online training on sustainability and diversity: three online courses on Sustainability and Diversity were assigned via the Ampli-Academy platform to the entire global back office population. The training sessions aimed to increase awareness of the environmental impact of work activities and promote an inclusive, discrimination-free workplace. The courses covered topics such as energy efficiency, waste reduction, water resource consumption, and workplace discrimination and harassment. It should also be noted that all Amplifon employees receive general training on the Supplier Code of Conduct, while all employees in the Procurement and Supply Chain team, including buyers, receive specific and detailed training on its operation and application; lastly, employees in the above function whose role requires it received, during 2025, dedicated training on the EcoVadis platform, focusing on topics such as due diligence and GHG accounting. The aim of the training is to increase awareness and knowledge of these topics and to create a sustainable and inclusive working environment that respects the different cultural contexts present within the Company. This initiative supports the target of delivering two hours of training per capita for the back office workforce. The scope of application includes all direct employees within the back office area.

Amplifon's Code of Ethics defines guidelines applicable to all employees and third parties acting on behalf of the Group, ensuring the maintenance of a safe and healthy work environment and encouraging active participation in risk prevention and health and safety protection for themselves, colleagues, and third parties. Given the nature of the Group's activities and the tools and procedures in place to comply with local and regional regulations, the business presents a low level of occupational injury risk. Nevertheless, specific organisational models are in place in the countries where the Group operates to comply with local safety regulations and standards.

In 2025, the Group obtained the Gender Equality Certification from the Winning Women Institute for the fourth time for Amplifon S.p.A. and Amplifon Italia S.p.A.. As the first certification of its kind in Italy, based on the Dynamic Model Gender Rating methodology, it recognises the long-term commitment of Italian companies to valuing and fostering diversity – two fundamental principles of Amplifon's philosophy in promoting equal opportunities across all aspects of employment. The Gender Equality Certification particularly acknowledged the tangible results achieved by the Group over the past four years in the framework of the "People Empowerment" pillar of the Sustainability Plan, which embraces diversity as a driver of enrichment and a key lever for corporate performance.

As part of its commitment to stakeholder engagement, Amplifon employs various channels to interact directly with its employees, also engaging with trade union representatives, who play a central role in advocating for workers' needs and concerns. The following activities are aimed at identifying, managing, and addressing any impacts that the Group may have on its employees. Employee engagement activities, which can range from formal consultations to informal meetings, ensure that every individual within the Group has the opportunity to express their opinions. Among the most representative engagement initiatives are:

  • • Double Materiality: the 2025 update was carried out through dedicated discussions with the Group's main internal stakeholders, representing the relevant functional areas. For further details regarding update frequency and implementation responsibilities, please refer to section "The Group's double materiality" in "General disclosures (ESRS 2)" chapter".
  • • "Your Voice": a global survey conducted every two years and dedicated to all employees of the Group, aimed at developing targeted action plans based on the results obtained. The survey explores topics such as satisfaction and happiness in the workplace, employees' sense of purpose in their work, and their level of stress. The Human Resource function, coordinated by the Chief Human Resources Officer, is responsible for implementation. For further details on results, engagement activities, and their effectiveness, refer to section "Sustainability governance" in "General disclosures (ESRS 2)" chapter.
  • • Whistleblowing Reporting Mechanism: a process that allows all Group employees to confidentially and securely report any violations of the Code of Ethics, laws, regulations, internal policies, and procedures. For further information, please refer to section "Policies, actions, metrics and targets" of the "General disclosures (ESRS 2)" chapter.
  • • Interactions with trade union representatives: Amplifon establishes contractual conditions directly with its employees in line with local best practices. Where applicable, collective labour agreements or equivalent contracts are applied. Collective bargaining agreements or equivalents cover all employees in countries where mandated by local regulations or partially, depending on local legal frameworks and specific contractual provisions. In 2025, 4,986 employees were covered by collective bargaining agreements, representing 33.1% of the total workforce.

[S1-3] PROCESSES TO REMEDIATE NEGATIVE IMPACTS AND CHANNELS FOR OWN WORKFORCE TO RAISE CONCERNS

Amplifon's operations are based on the principles of legality, fairness, honesty, integrity, equity, transparency, and efficiency, adopting internal policies and operational processes aimed at preventing negative impacts on the well-being and safety of its workforce. Amplifon employees and those working on behalf of the Company are encouraged to report any concerns or complaints regarding harassment, alleged illegal behaviour, or other topics, directly to their manager or through the Group's independent Whistleblowing mechanism. This tool defines the rules and communication channels for reporting, ensuring confidentiality, any violations, suspected violations, or non-compliance with the Code of Ethics, Anti-Corruption Policy, internal policies and procedures, including Model 231, and applicable laws and regulations. It should be noted that the Whistleblowing channel can also be accessed anonymously and operates through a digital platform, which is powered by proprietary third-party software. This platform enables simple, secure, and confidential reporting, while also allowing for confidential follow-ups between the whistleblower and the investigating party, should further clarification be needed. In this regard, please refer to the paragraph "Management of impacts, risks, and opportunities concerning the Group's governance" in the chapter "Governance Information (ESRS G1)" for further details. The Company ensures that all employees are aware of these tools and how to access them, through training sessions provided during the onboarding process, as well as periodic company-wide communications. The Company does not operate any additional specific channels for its own workforce. 182 183 AMPLIFON AT A GLANCE REPORT ON OPERATIONS CONSOLIDATED SUSTAINABILITY STATEMENT CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

[S1-5] TARGETS RELATED TO MANAGING MATERIAL NEGATIVEE IMPACTS, ADVANCING POSITIVE IMPACTS, AND MANAGING MATERIAL RISKS AND OPPORTUNITIES

The Group is continuously committed to addressing potential negative impacts, enhancing positive impacts and managing risks concerning its own workforce. To this end, the Group has developed targeted actions, setting specific objectives, metrics, and targets, and allocating appropriate resources. The management of workforcerelated matters involves various corporate functions, particularly the Human Resources department, which, in synergy with the relevant functions, collaborates to continuously monitor and improve the working environment, promote training, enhance talent development, and protect employees' rights. The following sections outline the key actions undertaken, along with the related measurement metrics and objectives, where applicable.

WORKING CONDITIONS

Group Benefit strategy (Be Well) – During the year, the development of a common strategy for the entire Group continued, aimed at ensuring a consistent and competitive employee benefits offering across the various geographical areas in which Amplifon operates. The initiative integrates the benefits offered by the Group as a strategic lever within the Total Reward Strategy, enhancing employee motivation, satisfaction, and organisational well-being. The project was launched in 2025, primarily involving direct back-office employees of Italian offices. During the year, the Be Well programme was implemented, with the aim of transforming the concept of welfare into a broader notion of wellbeing, going beyond the mere provision of benefits and becoming a genuine 360-degree support opportunity for the lives of our people.

Accordingly, the offering was enhanced with services designed to address every type of need, structured around four strategic pillars:

Amp Up Your Belonging & Growth, encompassing initiatives dedicated to promoting an inclusive corporate culture, professional growth opportunities and skills development;

  • Amp Up Your Health & Vitality, focused on services supporting physical and mental wellbeing and a healthy lifestyle;
  • Amp Up Your Protection & Care, aimed at future protection and care services for employees and their families;
  • Amp Up Your Everyday Perks, offering practical solutions and benefits to simplify everyday life.

Pay transparency and equity – Activities continued to define a global strategy and action plan aimed at aligning with the objectives of the new EU Pay Transparency Directive, in preparation for its future entry into force, adapting them to the specificities of non-European countries where local regulations are already in place. Amplifon continues to pursue initiatives aimed at identifying the areas impacted by the regulation, engaging and raising awareness among internal stakeholders, and planning targeted actions to strengthen the required competencies. The Group's strategy is aimed at ensuring pay equity and transparency at all organisational levels.

In particular, during 2025, the Group initiated the implementation of an automated Pay Equity Tool. A structured methodology was defined to support the use of the tool, and data collection and analysis activities were carried out. At the same time, the tool was customised to ensure an approach consistent with global analytical requirements and with the specificities of individual countries.

During the same period, a review of job mapping was launched, aimed at updating and refining the existing banding model. Finally, the datasets required for public reporting were prepared, particularly in view of the requirements set out under the CSRD Directive and disclosed in the Group's Report on the Remuneration Policy and compensation paid.

As a continuation of this process, the activities planned between 2025 and 2026 were focused on defining a strategic plan to prepare the Group for the entry into force of the above-mentioned Directive. This plan included an assessment of the global regulatory framework and compliance requirements in the countries in which the Group operates, with the aim of identifying the current state of play and the main areas for intervention. Based on this analysis, a mitigation and strategic integration plan was developed to address the quantitative and qualitative gaps identified, which will be further enhanced and customised once the Directive has been transposed into national legislation in each country. In parallel, a review of internal policies was initiated to ensure their full alignment with the Directive's requirements, as well as the drafting of new policies where necessary.

The activities also included the enhancement of the salary review process through the introduction of guidelines aimed at ensuring fair and consistent remuneration review practices, together with an action plan to address the main deviation areas identified. To support this process, a monitoring and progress measurement system based on specific key performance indicators was developed.

The actions are scheduled for completion during the two-year period 2026-2027. This initiative aligns with the Plan's objective of promoting equal opportunities at all corporate levels.

Women Winning Institute - For the fourth consecutive year, Amplifon has confirmed its excellence in gender equality with regard to its subsidiaries Amplifon Italia S.p.A. and Amplifon S.p.A., once again obtaining the Winning Women Institute certification, a recognition that attests to the Company's ongoing commitment to promoting a truly inclusive culture and a fair working environment, focused on enhancing female talent in all its forms. The renewal of the certification reflects the tangible results achieved across four key pillars: women's professional development, pay equity, diversity and inclusion policies, and maternity protection.

EQUAL TREATMENT AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR ALL

Performance Development Review (PDR):

Annual performance evaluation process for back office and Field Management personnel (Area Managers, Regional Managers, Training Managers, and Field Trainers) to monitor individual performance and promote behaviours aligned with the Group's leadership model across six dimensions. Strategic Thinking, Driving Success, Outstanding Execution, Building Relationships, People Champion and Pioneering Change. This process is therefore distinguished by its multidimensional approach, which assesses not only the achievement of annual targets (both corporate and individual), but also alignment with the values and behaviours demonstrated by employees in attaining them. To support employees in understanding the process and the tools available for their professional development, regular training sessions are organised for the involved personnel. These sessions aim to equip Directors and Managers with a clear understanding of their role in fostering the professional growth of their teams, while also empowering Professionals with a strong awareness of their role in shaping their own development path within Amplifon. At a Group level, in 2025, 93.9% of employees were included in the performance evaluation process, excluding only those who, due to specific circumstances, could not take part (e.g., employees on long-term maternity/paternity leave or extended leave, employees under studywork contracts with different evaluation mechanisms). This initiative is aligned with the Plan's objective of ensuring a robust succession pipeline for key roles. 184 185 AMPLIFON AT A GLANCE REPORT ON OPERATIONS CONSOLIDATED SUSTAINABILITY STATEMENT CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the clinic workforce (Hearing Care Professionals, Client Advisors, and other clinic personnel), the Group has developed a performance monitoring system, launched in 2023. By tracking clinic visits, target achievements, and individual qualitative assessments for each role, this process ensures alignment with the Group's business performance. The new approach has enhanced efficiency and automation for those subject to the evaluation as well as for Area Managers, who are responsible for conducting the reviews. From a technological perspective, the new system has been integrated into the existing digital platform used for business monitoring, allowing Area Managers to access a single entry-point for the majority of their tasks. The process is currently active in 13 countries and will be progressively extended to the other Group countries in line with the technological roll-out roadmap.

Your Voice - A global survey conducted every two years and open to all employees of the Group, aimed at developing targeted action plans based on the results obtained. The latest edition was conducted in November 2025 and involved approximately 13,300 employees (excluding Egypt, Israel and the acquisition of Kind Aparaty Słuchowe in Poland completed during 2025). The survey structure was differentiated between back office and field force populations in order to enhance the relevance of the questions for each target group. In this edition, participation reached an 86% response rate, collecting approximately 11,350 responses and around 28,000 qualitative comments. 89% of Group employees provided a positive opinion of the Company, maintaining a consistently strong result broadly in line with the 2023 edition. During 2026/2027, countries will be required to define and implement action plans, based on the feedback received in the survey, aimed at addressing the main areas for improvement identified. The engagement survey includes specific questions such as "My team/workgroup has a culture in which employees appreciate the differences that people bring to the workplace", "Amplifon does a good job of communicating with employees" and "I am treated with respect and dignity". These enable monitoring and deeper understanding of employee perspectives, particularly for those more vulnerable to workplace impacts or marginalisation. The next survey is scheduled for November 2027.

Additionally, in 2025, Amplifon expanded its Listening Strategy by launching offboarding surveys in additional countries, sent to employees who voluntarily leave the Company. This initiative aims to maximise employee feedback throughout their career with Amplifon, supporting continuous improvement and understanding of the external job market.

Training activities - The Group promotes training and development programmes designed to connect individuals with different experiences, backgrounds, functions, and countries, allowing each employee to broaden their knowledge continuously and achieve professional growth solely based on merit. Among the numerous training activities provided during 2025, which can be quantified at a cost of more than EUR 11 million, as reported in Note 31 "Operating Costs" within the Consolidated Financial Statements, the main types are listed below.

Training offer for back office employees: training offering for back-office employees, including the "Coursera 4 Work" programme, which provides access to over 80 courses, in addition to Amplifon's internal training and courses delivered by external partners such as LinkedIn Learning and Coursera, for a total of more than 35,000 courses available. This initiative aims to enhance both functional and crossdisciplinary skills among back office employees, ultimately contributing to improved individual and team performance. Support for skills development essential for sustainable business growth, in line with the target of 24 hours of training per back office employee (including at least two hours on sustainability and DEIB) throughout the year.

  • • Inspire Growth Program The Global Mentoring Experience In 2025, Amplifon launched the Inspire Growth Program, a fully revamped global mentoring initiative designed to develop the soft skills of the Company's future leaders. The new format offers an international, merit-based development experience aimed at high-potential talent within the Back Office organisation. The first renewed edition, running from January to December 2025, involved 20 mentor–mentee pairs from different functions and geographical areas, with varying levels of seniority (mentees were selected among specialists and managers, while mentors were selected among managers and directors). At the beginning of the programme, participants were assigned dedicated e-training paths designed to support both mentors and mentees in fulfilling their roles and maximising the value of the mentoring experience. Throughout the year, quarterly touchpoints and a midterm review with the Global HR function ensured continuous dialogue, progress monitoring and alignment on development objectives. The programme achieved an overall satisfaction rate of 4.6/5, with 67% of participants rating the experience as excellent (5/5). The 2026 edition was launched in January, further expanding this global community of leaders and involving an additional 21 mentor–mentee pairs.
  • • Digital Amplifon Global Onboarding (DaGO) The DaGO Program is a three-day virtual initiative designed to foster the integration of new employees into Amplifon's global culture. Managed by the Global CoE Talent Team, the programme aims to strengthen connections, collaboration and a shared understanding of corporate values among new joiners within the Back Office organisation. The programme was delivered in two editions: the Pacific Edition in May 2025 and the Atlantic/ EMEA Edition in June 2025, each featuring 12 speakers. Over the course of the year, a total of 222 employees participated, gaining the opportunity to engage with colleagues from different areas, expand their network and build a solid foundation for their professional journey at Amplifon. Through DaGO, Amplifon reaffirms its commitment to employee engagement, cultural alignment and the creation of a cohesive and motivated global workforce.

Leadership training and development programs - In 2025, the offering of the existing Leadership Programs was updated, aligned with the Group's transformation journey, HR processes, the Leadership Model and the Amplifon Employee Experience. The following training and development programmes have taken place, also in collaboration with leading partners:

• Lead the Way: in partnership with ESADE Business School, aimed at developing and strengthening the strategic skills of the Group's Directors.

  • • BE Leader: in partnership with ESADE Business School, aimed at accelerating the development of managers who will take on a "People Leader" role in the near future.
  • • BE Manager: delivered locally based on a global project, designed to create a shared pathway for Amplifon's managerial population, not only to support the development of managerial competencies, but also to build a shared culture and reinforce the High Performing Team approach, helping managers in developing their teams.
  • • RIDE the Change: dedicated to young back office talents, this programme enhances digital skills to drive a culture of change and innovation.
  • • Leadership Model Competencies Webinars: a strategic initiative to disseminate and strengthen leadership skills within Amplifon. The webinars are held on a bimonthly basis and are designed to be interactive and engaging, combining discussions with global experts and gamification activities. Each session explores a specific competency of the model, such as Pioneering Change or People Champion, providing practical insights, case studies and tools to navigate change and lead teams effectively. Moderated by the Global Talent Team, the webinars include Q&A sessions with the speakers and conclude with concrete takeaways to apply what has been learned in day-to-day professional activities. The objective is to build a global community of curious, adaptable and collaboration-oriented leaders, fostering continuous development and the sharing of best practices.

Professional development of the Field Force - To support the professional growth of the Field workforce, the Global Retail Academy, AmpliWay, has expanded its training offer, focusing on key skills for the Group's sales force, delivering a total of 534,030 hours of training to both direct and indirect field staff. This initiative has contributed to improving performance and enhancing the customer experience. The training offering is structured around three key pillars: Onboarding, which develops fundamental skills for the role at Amplifon; Performance, which supports the achievement of business objectives; Change and Transformation, which focuses on change management and innovation within Company protocols. This skills development approach aligns with the Group's Sustainability Plan target of at least three days of training for field force employees per year.

• AMPLI-TUNE - In 2025, the AMPLI-TUNE project was launched, an initiative dedicated to strengthening audiological skills and enhancing the customer experience, in line with a broader stream of initiatives focused on customer care and people development, promoting a culture of professional excellence and continuous improvement. Starting from the third quarter, a programme was launched to further strengthen and develop core audiological competencies in a more structured way, with the objective of further enhancing standards of accuracy and quality in the execution of tests and the fitting of hearing aids. The project therefore represents a new approach to audiological training, aimed at strengthening people's skills and promoting the adoption of uniform operating standards, supporting the quality and effectiveness of the service offered across all Group countries.

  • • Career Compass In place across the Group since 2023, this employee development tool is designed to guide employees through their career journey at Amplifon. The "Compass" is completed with the support of the direct manager, enabling employees to identify potential next career steps and plan development actions accordingly. The Career Compass is structured around three main elements – career progression, development plans and willingness to internal mobility – providing a clear and structured framework for growth within the Group. During 2025, the tool was further enhanced with the introduction of new features dedicated to tracking skills and languages, synchronised with the employee's LinkedIn profile. This evolution, initially piloted on a voluntary basis, will enable a more comprehensive recognition of individual competencies and support increasingly personalised development pathways.
  • • Gender pay gap reduction In 2024, the Group started implementing a digital salary review system across all the countries in which it operates, with the aim of ensuring global consistency and a merit-based approach grounded in individual performance. This process seeks to maintain a balance between internal equity and external competitiveness, while also reinforcing employee retention and engagement. The initiative initially involved direct back-office employees, helping to foster a fair, transparent and people-development-oriented working environment.

In 2025, the project continued to evolve, moving from a centralised approach to one extended to individual countries, with the aim of standardising and making remuneration process management more efficient internationally. To date, excluding China, the entire Group back-office population has already been integrated into the new digital tool.

A plan has also been envisaged for the progressive roll-out to the field population, structured in three phases:

  • • Phase 1: activation of pilot countries in Spain, Italy, Canada, the LATAM region countries excluding Argentina, and India.
  • • Phase 2: all countries in the EMEA Region, excluding Switzerland.
  • • Phase 3: the remaining countries in which Amplifon operates.

The first step of the project concerns the digitalisation of salary governance and incentive schemes, which are already fully operational and accessible to the countries' leadership teams, marking a significant milestone towards integrated, merit-based and digitalised global human resources management.

Global Employer Value Proposition (EVP) – In January 2025, the new "Employer Value Proposition" was launched, aimed at strengthening Amplifon's positioning as an "employer of choice" in both the internal and external labour market. This initiative aims to enhance brand perception and awareness among candidates for back office (junior and senior) and front office (HCP and CA) positions, as well as improve talent retention within the Group. The launch of the EVP and the related communication campaign took place in the first quarter of 2025 and will also include further related initiatives in 2026. Creating a robust and high-quality talent pipeline for key roles within the Group is a primary objective of this initiative, involving both external candidates and internal talent on a global scale. A milestone further strengthened by the achievement of the Global Top Employer certification, already obtained by the Group during 2025 .

Women's Empowerment Principles – Since early 2022, the Group has adhered to the Women's Empowerment Principles (WEPs) established by UN Women and the UN Global Compact. These principles guide organisations in promoting gender equality and women's empowerment in the workplace, market, and community. In line with international labour and human rights standards, the WEPs acknowledge the role and responsibility of businesses in advancing gender equality and women's empowerment .

Valore D – Since July 2022, Amplifon S.p.A. has been a member of Valore D, the first association of companies in Italy (with over 350 members) dedicated to gender balance and fostering an inclusive corporate culture. Alongside other companies driving workplace inclusivity, Valore D promotes change based on the belief that "diversity is strength", not only in terms of equality and fairness but also for economic and social growth. Thanks to this membership, in 2025 training experiences (seminars, skill labs and mentoring programmes) were delivered to 22 employees of Amplifon Italia S.p.A. and Amplifon S.p.A. 188 189 AMPLIFON AT A GLANCE REPORT ON OPERATIONS CONSOLIDATED SUSTAINABILITY STATEMENT CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

[S1-10] ADEQUATE WAGES

Amplifon is committed to ensure that all employees receive fair remuneration in line with the benchmark standards established in the 26 countries where it operates. At least once a year, the countries verify any wage cases that are below the threshold of the local regulations and adjust the wage accordingly. With the exception of Switzerland and Singapore, all other markets in which the Group operates have statutory minimum wage regulations, and as of 31 December 2025, no employee receives a salary below local minimum wage levels.

In countries without statutory minimum wage legislation, Amplifon adopts a structured approach to ensure fair and competitive remuneration. This approach is based on a continuous analysis of labour market dynamics to ensure that salaries remain aligned with local standards.

As a testament to this commitment, Amplifon has implemented a Total Reward Policy for several years, ensuring a remuneration system that is not only compliant with local standards but also designed to maintain strong external competitiveness and internal pay equity.

[S1-11] SOCIAL PROTECTION

The analysis carried out shows that the Company's employees are overall covered by social protection systems safeguarding against loss of income in the event of significant life events such as illness, unemployment, work-related injury and disability, parental leave and retirement. In all the countries in which the Group operates, protections are therefore in place through public programmes and/or Company benefits, with the sole exception of Mexico, where, although unemployment protection is not provided, local support programmes (e.g., welfare initiatives) are nonetheless available.

During the reporting year, there were no established incidents of discrimination (including harassment) or serious human rights incidents that resulted in the Company being fined, sanctioned or compensated for related damages.

During the 2025 financial year, a total of 52 reports falling within the whistleblowing scope were received through the designated reporting channels (alleged cases of discrimination amounted to 21). All reports were investigated in accordance with the relevant Group Whistleblowing Policy and it should be noted that 3 of these reports are still being investigated, 2 of which relate to discrimination matters.

TALENT GROWTH

Talent growth is a fundamental pillar for Amplifon. The Group continuously invests in training and career development programmes for its employees, creating growth opportunities at both local and global levels.

Amplifon adopts an integrated approach to talent growth, ensuring that the employee experience is consistent and shared globally. To support employee development, Amplifon has introduced initiatives such as the Career Compass, which complements the annual Performance Development Review (PDR) and talent evaluation process.

Furthermore, Amplifon provides training and development programmes to all its employees at national, regional, and global levels. The comprehensive training offering is designed to meet local needs and requirements while also allowing employees to benefit from best practices shared across the global network. Both in-person and online courses are available for field force and back-office employees, complemented by one-on-one coaching and mentoring sessions. The training covers both professional and business skills, as well as behavioural and leadership competencies. For more information on the dedicated initiatives, please refer to the "Actions, metrics and targets" section of this chapter.

[S1-16] COMPENSATION METRICS (PAY GAP AND TOTAL COMPENSATION)

Amplifon pays the utmost attention to the theme of equal treatment and equal opportunities between genders. Within the framework of safeguarding and enhancing human capital, these elements represent a fundamental opportunity for enrichment and innovation, ensuring that business activities are carried out in a solid and sustainable manner. The empowerment of individuals, appreciation of diversity, and promotion of inclusion policies are fundamental pillars of both the Group's People Strategy and ESG Strategy.

Strongly believing in the importance of gender pay equity at all levels, the Group provides all employees with remuneration packages aligned with internal practices and market standards, in order to ensure both a high level of internal equity and external competitiveness. A diverse workforce is in fact key to building an organisation capable of adapting to the evolving environment and achieving superior performance.

Amplifon is committed to ensuring that all employees receive fair remuneration, consistent with the relevant benchmarks applicable in the 26 countries in which the Group operates. Within this context, starting from 2021, the Group has launched a monitoring activity, progressively enhanced over time, focused on gender balance indicators, including the remuneration dimension through the so-called gender pay gap, with analyses conducted by organisational clusters47 designed to reflect and take into account the different levels of organisational complexity of roles. For 2025, while continuing to adopt the United Nations principle of "equal pay for work of equal value" as the methodological reference, the calculation approach was updated compared to previous years, with a view to aligning with CSRD disclosure requirements.

The findings, calculated with reference to the total remuneration48 paid in 2025, indicate an unadjusted gender pay gap of 40%, based on gross hourly remuneration. the figure for 2024 is not reported because, in 2025, the calculation method defined does not allow historical data to be reconstructed using the information currently available.

This indicator represents a useful monitoring tool; however, it is affected by structural factors that limit its comparability. In particular, this is due to the different gender distribution across organisational levels, with a higher male presence in senior positions associated with higher remuneration and a greater female concentration in Client Advisor & Shop Personnel roles, typically linked to comparatively lower average pay levels.

The figure also reflects the Group's international footprint, as it operates in contexts characterised by different pay levels and socio-economic conditions. These elements affect the aggregate composition of remuneration and, consequently, the overall value of the indicator. An analysis at individual country level, while in some cases affected by gender representation across levels, largely highlights more contained gaps compared to the global figure.

When observing the gender pay gap across different organisational clusters, the results in terms of (unadjusted) pay gap differ significantly, as they derive from comparisons between roles characterised by comparable organisational complexity.

  1. For the purposes of the gender pay gap analysis, 6 organisational clusters were identified: Top Management (comprising Executives and General Managers of key countries); Directors (excluding General Managers included in the first cluster); Managers; Professionals; Audiologists; Client Advisors & other location personnel.

48.The remuneration analysed includes fixed remuneration, the various forms of short-term variable remuneration paid in 2025 (MBO, Local STI, Sales Incentive), as well as long-term variable remuneration (the fair value of the Long-Term Incentive plans and the Amplifon Extraordinary Award) provided for under the Group Policy. The previous methodology applied by Amplifon was aimed at representing the different types of variable remuneration offered to employees and was therefore not influenced by the performance of individual incumbents. For the purpose of calculating the gender pay gap for the 2025 financial year, the average gross hourly pay amounts to €31.59 for the male population and €18.87 for the female population.

Thisdifferential can therefore be attributed primarily to structural and professional variables, rather than to factors related to gender. The Group in fact adopts job evaluationmethodologies and remuneration frameworks based on structured criteria, designed to ensure consistency, internal equity, and alignment with market practices.Furthermore, it is reported that the ratio between the highest annual total remuneration and the median annual total remuneration – which measures the differencebetween the individual receiving the highest remuneration51 and the median remuneration of all employees, excluding the individual with the highest remuneration – forthe 2025 financial year is equal to 106.65.The indicator is based on the same calculation methodology used for the Gender Pay Gap analyses; therefore, also in this case, the figure for 2024 is not reported because,in 2025, the calculation method defined does not allow historical data to be reconstructed using the information currently available.49. The analyses cover 98% of employees. Employees working in Egypt and Israel are not included, as data consistent with the methodological and reporting standards adopted by the Group are currently not available.50. The Gender Pay Gap figure for Top Management is not presented due to the insufficient size of the sample, which does not allow for a statistically significant and comparable representation of the data.51. The compensation presented as the total annual remuneration of the individual receiving the highest remuneration corresponds to that paid to the Chief Executive Officer and General Manager, considering, for thelatter, the remuneration attributable to the 2025 financial year. With regard to fixed remuneration and short- and long-term variable remuneration, the amounts presented correspond to the same values reportedin Tables 1 and 3A of the 2026 Report on the Remuneration Policy and Remuneration Paid, to which reference should be made for further details.

Risk

Based on the double materiality analysis conducted, a potential negative impact was identified for workers in the Company's value chain relating to the topic of health and safety. No significant positive impacts arising from Amplifon's activities were identified. However, the risk and opportunity analysis did highlight a potential risk related to the Company's business partners along the Group's supply chain, particularly concerning the possibility that some partners may not fully comply with ethical and social standards, including human rights requirements.

These findings result from an analysis conducted by Amplifon to identify the categories of workers within its value chain. The analysis includes the distribution of a supplier questionnaire aimed at collecting evidence and confirmations regarding the total number of employees with a regular employment contract, the percentage of outsourced operational activities performed by external suppliers or outside the European Union, the types of activities and roles performed, such as office work, construction, maintenance, and production, the average number of overtime hours per employee per year, and the presence of a health and safety officer or a designated regarding the following aspects:

The exposure of value chain workers to risks is primarily linked to the nature of their roles and tasks. Based on Amplifon's internal classification and a targeted assessment considering the type of activities, geographical context, and ESG relevance, the following key procurement categories have been identified for the above-mentioned topics, along with the primary types of workers in the value chain based on their job function:

  • • General facility and maintenance: renovation and maintenance work on Company spaces, offices, and clinics. Typical roles: maintenance technicians, construction workers, artisans.
  • • Logistics and warehousing: transportation of goods and maintenance of warehouse equipment. Typical roles: warehouse staff, forklift operators, drivers, transporters, maintenance technicians.
  • • Marketing: call centres and telemarketing operations Typical roles: call centre operators, outsourced marketing data analysts.
  • • Hearing aid: manufacturing activities. Typical roles: production workers, automated machine operators.
  • • IT (Hardware): management, installation, and maintenance of corporate IT infrastructure Typical roles: hardware technicians, network installers, technical support staff, server maintenance personnel.

At the same time, in terms of geographical risk - particularly concerning production in the Far East - the Hearing Aid and Hearing Aid Packaging categories have been identified as higher-risk areas.

[S2-1] POLICIES RELATED TO VALUE CHAIN WORKERS

figure responsible for occupational safety.

To effectively manage the impacts, risks, and opportunities associated with workers across its value chain, Amplifon implements targeted policies that reinforce its commitment to human rights protection and compliance with international regulations. These principles are clearly outlined in the Code of Ethics, the Supplier Code of Conduct and the Human Rights Policy, which define, among other aspects,

the expectations and responsibilities regarding suppliers in relation to workers throughout the entire value chain, with a primary focus on the supply chain. The Supplier Code of Conduct establishes the minimum standards and best practices

  • • Business ethics and compliance: the Group's suppliers are required to operate in compliance with the highest ethical standards, in line with the principles and values set out in Amplifon's Code of Ethics and Supplier Code of Conduct. They are required to ensure full compliance with applicable laws and act according to fair competition principles, anti-corruption policies, integrity, and transparency. Furthermore, suppliers must protect third-party privacy and intellectual property and ensure the responsible sourcing of conflict minerals.
  • • Health, safety, and workers' rights: suppliers must treat all employees, external collaborators, and their own suppliers with respect, ensuring the protection of human dignity, health, safety, and fundamental human rights. Specifically, they are required to uphold child labour protections, prevent forced or coerced labour, promote diversity and inclusion, eliminate discrimination and harassment, guarantee fair wages and working hours, ensure occupational health and safety, and respect freedom of association and collective bargaining rights.
  • • Environmental protection: the Group's suppliers are required to minimise the environmental impact of their business operations, with particular attention to compliance and environmental performance in relation to the most relevant topics, such as energy consumption, efficient use of resources – including water resources – waste management and biodiversity protection.

Starting from 2023, the mandatory acceptance of the Supplier Code of Conduct has been integrated into the new supplier qualification processes, ensuring that any new supplier formally adheres to it. Additionally, the requirement to sign the Code was extended to existing suppliers who were qualified before the Code's adoption, with priority given to those with the largest global expenditure and those providing critical goods or services.

The human rights protection of value chain workers is further reinforced in the Sustainability Policy and in the Human Rights Policy, previously detailed in the "Policies, actions, metrics and targets" section of the "General disclosures (ESRS 2)" chapter, outlining the guiding principles and initiatives the Group aims to pursue. In this regard, during the reporting year, no cases of non-compliance with human rights involving workers in our value chain were reported. Moreover, value chain workers have access to the Group's Whistleblowing System, which allows them to report concerns related to human rights violations, ensuring a safe and confidential environment to address any breaches or concerns regarding the protection of fundamental rights. 202 203 AMPLIFON AT A GLANCE REPORT ON OPERATIONS CONSOLIDATED SUSTAINABILITY STATEMENT CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

MANAGEMENT OF IMPACTS, RISKS, AND OPPORTUNITIES CONCERNING THE VALUE CHAIN WORKERS

[S2-2] PROCESSES FOR ENGAGING WITH VALUE CHAIN WORKERS ABOUT IMPACTS

Given the nature and characteristics of its business relationships, Amplifon has not yet implemented a dedicated process aimed at considering the perspectives of value chain workers, including potentially vulnerable or marginalised workers, in decisions or activities related to managing worker-related impacts. However, indirect tools are in place, such as the supplier due diligence process on ESG topics and a dedicated email address ([email protected]) (for further details, refer to section "Sustainability governance" in "General disclosures (ESRS 2)" chapter). Through these channels, suppliers and value chain workers can at any time express their opinions and report any concerns regarding potential violations of the minimum standards and principles set out in the Supplier Code of Conduct. Additionally, the Whistleblowing system can support the Group in identifying specific impacts related to workers in its value chain. For further details on the operation, registration, and management of whistleblowing reports, please refer to section "Policies, actions, metrics and targets" in "General disclosures (ESRS 2)" chapter.

[S2-3] PROCESSES TO REMEDIATE NEGATIVE IMPACTS AND CHANNELS FOR VALUE CHAIN WORKERS TO RAISE CONCERNS

To date, Amplifon has not identified any direct or indirect negative impacts affecting workers in its value chain. However, should potential areas of impact be identified, Amplifon is committed to taking action to address any unfavourable conditions and managing the situation promptly and appropriately. For this reason, as outlined in the Supplier Code of Conduct, a dedicated email address has been established, managed by the Procurement & Supply Chain department. This channel allows suppliers to report potential non-compliance related to ESG topics or to raise concerns regarding potential violations of the minimum standards and principles set out in the Code53. All new suppliers are required to accept the Supplier Code of Conduct during the onboarding phase - except for categories to which the Code does not apply (e.g., individuals, governments). For suppliers already qualified before the publication of the Supplier Code of Conduct, Amplifon has requested them to sign an acceptance letter confirming their adherence to the Code.

All Group suppliers are therefore informed about the contents of the Code, which also encourages the dissemination and communication of available reporting channels to supplier employees, including the dedicated email address. The ESG supplier assessment process represents the next step following the signing of the Code and enables Amplifon to verify not only the acceptance of these standards but also their effective implementation by suppliers.

[S2-5] TARGETS RELATED TO MANAGING MATERIAL NEGATIVE IMPACTS, ADVANCING POSITIVE IMPACTS, AND MANAGING MATERIAL RISKS AND OPPORTUNITIES

WORKING CONDITIONS AND OTHER WORK-RELATED RIGHTS

To manage and mitigate the identified risks, Amplifon uses the EcoVadis platform to:

  • Conduct supplier risk mapping, based on sector and geography.
  • Request the completion of a questionnaire.
  • Define and monitor the implementation of specific action plans.

Based on the risk level identified54 during the mapping phase, Amplifon requests medium- to high-risk suppliers to complete the questionnaire. This questionnaire, tailored to the supplier's profile (strategic relevance, geography, sector), serves as a key tool to ensure alignment with the ethical and sustainability practices promoted by Amplifon. Specifically, it includes an in-depth assessment of worker rights, covering working conditions, compliance with current regulations, workplace safety, and the protection of fundamental rights.

The analysis of these questionnaires helps identify potential social, environmental, and ethical risks, providing a clear overview of supplier sustainability and segmenting them based on risk level (low, medium, or high). For suppliers classified as mediumto high-risk in the EcoVadis assessment, Amplifon provides a dedicated Action Plan aimed at supporting them in improving their practices and mitigating identified risks, fostering continuous progress towards higher standards. In cases where risks are deemed particularly significant, further corrective measures are adopted, defined in collaboration between the Global ESG Procurement & Supply Chain function and the IR & Sustainability function, as well as the managers of the functions involved.

54.Risk identified with regard to geography, sector and product category.

These measures may include, if necessary, the termination of the partnership with the supplier.

During 2025, Amplifon strengthened ESG oversight of its supply chain by carrying out several activities:

  • • Risk mapping: In 2025, ESG risk mapping was conducted for an additional 268 suppliers, bringing the total number of mapped in-scope suppliers to 685 (554 indirect and 131 direct). Overall, including suppliers that are currently discontinued or inactive, ESG risk mapping has been conducted for 782 suppliers. Coverage of spend for in-scope indirect and direct suppliers has therefore increased to 46% and 100%, respectively.
  • • ESG Assessments: In 2025, 44 suppliers were requested to complete the ESG questionnaire. 24 of them completed the self-assessment, bringing the total number of suppliers assessed from 2023 to 2025 to 117, while 20 requests are still pending.
  • • ESG Action Plans: In 2025, 16 suppliers were requested to implement action plans, for a total of 46 corrective actions, of which 20 have already been implemented (3 environmental, 12 social and 5 governance-related). Additionally, 11 actions previously assigned in 2024 were fully implemented during 2025 (1 environmental, 5 social and 5 governance-related), adding to the 6 already implemented in 2024. To date, 83 actions55 have been requested, of which 17 are under implementation and 37 have already been implemented. More than 50% of the suppliers assigned a corrective action plan belong to the following three categories: construction & general maintenance, hearing device accessories and clinic furniture.
  • • Audits: SCoC audits, conducted by the Global Procurement & Supply Chain ESG team, are on-site verification activities carried out in accordance with the principles and requirements set out in Amplifon's Supplier Code of Conduct, with the aim of verifying not only formal adherence to the Code but also its effective operational implementation across suppliers' activities. During 2025, three on-site audits were conducted at selected suppliers: a construction Company, a supplier of hearing aids and related spare parts, and a call centre. The audited suppliers were selected based on criteria such as high strategic relevance to the Group, significant annual spend and the materiality of ESG topics associated with their activities. This approach enabled the definition of a representative sample of Amplifon's supplier base, consistent with a risk-based approach.

Following the audits conducted, an action plan including both urgent corrective measures and improvement actions was defined and shared with the suppliers. All significant corrective actions were implemented by the end of 2025; verification of their effective implementation was carried out remotely through the collection and analysis of documentary and/or photographic evidence. The identified improvement actions are currently under assessment and/or implementation by the suppliers.

  1. 11 of the above-mentioned 83 actions relate to Human Rights topics. Of these 11 actions, 9 concern missing policies or certifications in the relevant area and 2 relate to the failure to provide information on the topic.

Further second-level audits of strategic suppliers identified as high risk following ESG assessments are planned for 2026. The supplier evaluation and monitoring process is not a one-off initiative but a continuous cycle that allows Amplifon to identify new critical matters, address potential misalignments between business objectives and social impacts, and ensure constant improvement along the value chain. This dynamic approach guarantees that the prevention and mitigation of negative impacts on workers are fully integrated into Amplifon's procurement and supply chain management practices. Suppliers with stronger ESG performance are prioritised in the selection process, helping to steer business decisions towards more responsible partnerships.

• Global ESG Framework Procedure: during 2025, Amplifon formalised the entire process relating to the Supplier ESG Framework through the adoption of an official internal procedure. This document, signed by the Chief Procurement & Supply Chain Officer and the Investor Relations & Sustainability Sr. Director, sets out in detail roles, responsibilities, operational activities and the methodological approach adopted for the ESG assessment of suppliers. For example, a quarterly review meeting is held, chaired by the Global ESG Procurement & Supply Chain Manager and attended by the Chief Procurement & Supply Chain Officer, the Global Senior Director Indirect Procurement and the Global Senior Director Direct Procurement. During the meeting, all suppliers classified as medium and medium-high ESG risk are analysed, and corrective actions or strategic decisions to be undertaken are defined based on the gaps identified. The procedure serves as a structured and shared reference framework aimed at ensuring consistency, transparency and integrity in the integration of environmental, social and governance criteria into the procurement process.

Through the structured questionnaire of the EcoVadis platform, Amplifon aims to assess its suppliers' performance in relation to ESG topics, aligning with its Sustainability Plan objective: "Achieve Supplier Code of Conduct (SCoC) acceptance and assess ESG practices of 100% of the main direct suppliers and at least 50% of key indirect suppliers, by spend, by 2026". Progress is monitored annually. The Procurement & Supply Chain function, led by the Chief Procurement & Supply Chain Officer, is responsible for overseeing and implementing these measures.

Spending categories such as donations, human resources expenses, professional fees and compensation, real estate and rentals, travel and entertainment, and other non-supplier-related expenses are excluded from this process. Additionally, within the EcoVadis platform, suppliers who are required to complete the ESG assessment can access benchmark data comparing their ESG performance against their industry peers.

Opportunity

Amplifon includes in the considerations of this paragraph, all end users who may be subject to significant impacts, including those related to its own operations, value chain, products, services, and commercial relationships.

Amplifon divides the potential end users of the products and services it sells into different categories, considering, among other things, age and level of hearing loss as relevant metrics for the purposes of their clustering.

Within these categories, customers over 70 and customers with a moderate or greater level of hearing loss constitute the most representative sample. Additionally, Amplifon distinguishes its consumers and end customers (both current and potential) based on their level of awareness and engagement regarding hearing loss management:

  • • No Action: individuals who have not yet taken any steps to address their hearing loss.
  • • Leads: individuals aware of their hearing loss who have begun taking action.
  • • Prospects: individuals who have contacted a clinic, gathered information, or are currently testing a hearing aid.
  • • Adopters: individuals who already own a hearing aid.

The products offered by the Group are characterised by various attributes; one of these is that they are not intrinsically harmful to people or increase the risk of chronic diseases.

At the same time, the services that the Group offers, by their nature, require the collection of a large amount of health information considered 'sensitive' pursuant to, among others, EU Regulation 2016/679 and therefore, due to the sensitivity of this data, the Group's customers and end users could suffer a negative impact on their rights if it is mismanaged.

In order to protect its customers from such negative impacts, Amplifon adopts strict measures to guarantee the protection of such data, operating in full compliance with applicable regulations and adopting specific actions, see the paragraph "Actions, metrics and targets" in this chapter for more information. To ensure the safe and effective use of hearing devices, Amplifon guarantees that consumers and end users receive accurate and accessible information on the products and services offered.

As a leader in the hearing care retail sector, Amplifon enters into agreements with manufacturers to ensure the supply of hearing devices that comply with regulatory requirements before being placed on the market. These devices bear the CE marking for the European market, Food and Drug Administration (hereinafter also "FDA") approval for the US market, the Unique Device Identification (hereinafter also "UDI") declaration of conformity and the instructions for use in the official language of the country.

The Group monitors regulatory developments, innovations, best practices, and technological advancements and regularly organises training sessions for clinicbased sales staff. These sessions cover key product features, usage and maintenance, and compliance requirements. The Company is committed to ensuring the highest standards of safety, performance and compliance for all products and services offered, strictly adhering to the Medical Device Regulation (hereinafter also "MDR") for the EU market, the FDA requirements for the US market and all applicable local regulations in the countries where Amplifon operates, including those relating to the professional qualifications of practitioners.

Amplifon is also the manufacturer of the Amplifon App, a CE-marked medical device developed in-house and distributed since 2019 in various EU and APAC countries, as well as in the United States under the Miracle-Ear brand, with FDA approval. The Amplifon App complies with both the MDR for medical devices and the latest European guidelines on medical devices. To obtain CE marking, Amplifon has established its own Quality Management System, ensuring compliance with ISO 13485:2016 and the MDR regulation. The Company has implemented operational procedures, some of which are specifically designed to prevent and manage potential incidents.

It should also be noted that the MDR involves Amplifon in a dual role: as a distributor, through partnerships with leading hearing aid manufacturers, and as a manufacturer, thanks to the development of its own mobile app.

In compliance with the requirements of the MDR, Amplifon ensures the regulatory compliance of distributed devices, working closely with manufacturers to verify CE marking, declarations of conformity, UDI, and other mandatory documentation.

Amplifon is committed to maintaining full device traceability, ensuring optimal transportation and storage conditions, and collaborating with regulatory authorities and manufacturers to implement corrective actions when required. Additionally, post-market surveillance and adherence to Good Distribution Practices are key priorities for Amplifon. The Group also provides ongoing training to its personnel and collaborates with manufacturers to ensure hearing care professionals remain up to date on technological advancements and regulatory updates, guaranteeing a high-quality service for consumers. 208 209 AMPLIFON AT A GLANCE REPORT ON OPERATIONS CONSOLIDATED SUSTAINABILITY STATEMENT CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Regarding the Group's positive impact in maintaining the quality, reliability, and safety standards of the products, accessories, and services it offers, this is directly linked to the expertise of its audiologists, ensuring both security and satisfaction for customers and end users. This commitment materialises through Ampli-care, a programme designed to improve accessibility and quality of life for individuals with hearing difficulties. The programme is based on an integrated offering of products, services, and personalised experiences in this context, the Amplifon App enhances accessibility to services by enabling customers to receive remote support without

the need to visit a clinic in person, for example through video tutorials. Additionally, with more than 3,300 shop-in-shops and corners located in third-party retail outlets such as pharmacies, optical stores, and medical clinics, the Group seeks to reach people with hearing loss even in rural or low-density population areas. Moreover, through home visits, Amplifon serves customers with reduced mobility, who may not be able to visit a clinic in person. For further details, please refer to the "Sustainability Governance" section of the "General disclosures (ESRS 2)" chapter.

Given the nature of the services and products offered, all consumers and end users can be considered vulnerable. However, the Group acknowledges certain key demographics as particularly vulnerable, specifically customers over 70 years old and individuals with moderate or greater hearing loss. These vulnerabilities, considering the characteristics of such customer base, may not only be health-related but also extend to financial and economic aspects. For this reason, in several countries where the Group operates, the social market - which includes the reimbursement of hearing aids and related services by national healthcare systems - helps address this financial vulnerability. Additionally, the Group offers consumer credit financing, facilitating access to hearing care services and devices.

Regarding the risk identification process, the Group, as a leader in the Hearing Care Retail sector, provides the market and its customer base with a clearly defined and highly specialised category of hearing care products and services. The analysis of Amplifon's product and service portfolio suggests that exposure to material risks may vary among target consumers based on differences in generational demographics, degree of hearing loss, or market type (private/public).

[S4-1] POLICIES RELATED TO CONSUMERS AND END-USERS

Amplifon has implemented targeted policies to manage the impacts, risks, and opportunities associated with consumers and end-users, adopting a global approach that encompasses all consumer groups without distinction. The Group's policies, including the Sustainability Policy, the Code of Ethics and the Privacy Policy, establish clear and stringent principles in line with the highest international standards.

The Sustainability Policy, in particular, sets out specific commitments to promote social inclusion among the Group's customers, continuously enhancing accessibility to the products and services offered. This includes eliminating economic, physical, and geographical barriers, as well as strengthening customer safety and well-being. Furthermore, Amplifon is committed to ensuring the responsible management of personal and sensitive data, safeguarding data subjects and their information through technical and organisational measures in compliance with applicable national and international regulations. This commitment is also reinforced in the Code of Ethics and the Group Data Privacy Policy. For further details, please refer to the "Policies, actions, metrics and targets" section of the "General disclosures (ESRS 2)" chapter.

The Group's commitment is reflected in the adherence to internal customer management procedures and in the provision of products, services, and related information that meet or exceed customer expectations. Furthermore, the Group is committed to ensuring that marketing, sales, and communication activities are conducted responsibly and reliably, in full compliance with local regulations and in accordance with ethical and professional standards. For more information on the involvement of its customers, please refer to the section "Management of impacts, risks and opportunities concerning consumers and end-users".

Aspects related to the protection of human rights for consumers and end users are addressed within the Sustainability Policy and the Human Rights Policy, as described in the "Policies, actions, metrics and targets" section of the "General disclosures (ESRS 2)" chapter.

MANAGEMENT OF IMPACTS, RISKS, AND OPPORTUNITIES CONCERNING CONSUMERS AND END-USERS

[S4-2] PROCESSES FOR ENGAGING WITH CONSUMERS AND END-USERS ABOUT IMPACTS

Amplifon recognises the crucial importance of consumer and end-user perspectives in shaping its decisions and activities, ensuring the effective identification and management of both current and potential impacts. To achieve this goal, Amplifon adopts an inclusive approach, integrating the expectations, needs, and feedback of consumers and end users into decision-making processes and strategic initiatives through the following activities:

  • • Amplifon 360: a proprietary protocol that integrates innovative methods and tools for assessing customers' hearing capabilities and needs, providing tailored solutions. It supports hearing care professionals on a daily basis in selecting the most suitable products and services for each customer profile.
  • • Market research: studies conducted by external research institutes to assess customer satisfaction levels, understand needs, and identify drivers and barriers to the adoption of hearing devices among both customers and prospective users. These include interviews, focus groups, and surveys, conducted via telephone or online, with profiling based on age, level of hearing impairment, and consumer type. In key markets, these studies are conducted on average around ten times per year, though frequency may vary depending on specific needs.
  • • Voice of Customers (VOC): A feedback collection system managed through dedicated call centres, providing a direct and accessible channel for immediate consumer interactions. Frequency managed ad hoc according to need and country.
  • • Net Promoter Score (NPS): A metric used to measure customer satisfaction through messages and emails. This programme is centrally managed and implemented in Amplifon's key markets. NPS surveys are sent daily, depending on the eligibility of each customer in relation to the specific touchpoint they have interacted with.
  • • CRM campaigns: the definition of commercial and service campaigns aims to

engage the audience, raise awareness, drive interactions, and ultimately lead to conversion. These campaigns are launched at different stages of the customer journey. They aim to raise awareness among those who have not yet undergone a hearing test, encourage those who have taken the test but have not yet made a purchase to return to the clinic and complete their journey, and strengthen the relationship with existing customers in the post-purchase phase. These campaigns undergo a pre-test phase to determine the most effective messaging and a posttest phase to collect feedback on understanding, appeal, and intent of reacting to the message received.

Customer and end-user engagement primarily takes place through telephone communications, the majority of which are outbound, initiated by Amplifon towards the end consumer. A significant proportion of these interactions also involve caregivers, whom Amplifon recognises as playing a key role in both the decision-making process and the overall interaction with the end consumer. For this reason, the Group has developed dedicated communication methodologies tailored to caregivers and has created dedicated spaces for them within its clinics. The operational responsibility for ensuring consumer and end-user engagement and translating insights into business strategy lies with the Marketing function, coordinated by the Chief Marketing, Technology and Innovation Officer. 210 211 AMPLIFON AT A GLANCE REPORT ON OPERATIONS CONSOLIDATED SUSTAINABILITY STATEMENT CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Given the inherently vulnerable nature of its consumers and end users to identified impacts, Amplifon implements the previously mentioned measures to understand their perspectives. This inclusive approach reflects Amplifon's commitment to equally addressing the needs of all consumers and end users.

[S4-3] PROCESSES TO REMEDIATE NEGATIVE IMPACTS AND CHANNELS FOR CONSUMERS AND END-USERS TO RAISE CONCERNS

Amplifon adopts a structured approach to effectively address and remedy any significant negative impacts caused or contributed to by its activities on consumers and end-users. This approach includes a range of dedicated channels designed to quickly identify relevant topics, provide fair and transparent solutions, and monitor the effectiveness of corrective actions through consumer feedback and predefined evaluation metrics. Specifically, dedicated communication channels allow consumers and end-users to directly express concerns, make requests, and receive assistance. These channels include customer service support, digital platforms, online forms, and telephone hotlines, all of which are easily accessible via the Amplifon website or the Amplifon app. One of the most accessible and direct ways for consumers to communicate their needs and concerns is through call centres, which serve as a dedicated service designed to provide timely and effective support. Amplifon has established specific performance objectives for these interactions (which may be of a commercial nature or expressions of concerns/complaints). In 2025, Amplifon handled 96% of incoming calls. The effectiveness of these channels is monitored through dedicated records, documenting the nature of consumer inquiries and their satisfaction levels. Additionally, all Amplifon clinics provide customers with clear information on how to request support or submit feedback, ensuring a transparent and accessible process.

Additionally, the relationship between hearing care professionals and customers is supported by a Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system, which collects detailed insights on customer motivations and preferences. With its advanced data management system, Amplifon can map customer behaviour, analyse purchasing decisions, and even anticipate future trends. By integrating these systems and adopting a data-driven approach, the Group, in alignment with its mission, seeks to understand the unique needs of each customer to provide them with the best possible solution and an exceptional experience, and transform the way hearing care is perceived and experienced, making it natural and intuitive for customers to rely on high-quality service and the expertise of Amplifon's specialists.

Additionally, the CRM system tracks customer interactions, enabling the Company to efficiently manage feedback, concerns, and complaints.

In addition, also for the purposes of MDR, a contact person has been appointed in each European country where the Group operates to receive reports and complaints from end consumers. The purpose of this figure is to ensure compliance with the procedures and conditions expressed in the Quality Agreements defined with the manufacturers and to manage the related activities. This achievement is testament to the Group's meticulous approach to upholding the integrity of the supply chain, ensuring that the products distributed by the Group adhere to the required regulatory standards, reinforcing the safety and reliability of the medical devices it distributes.

In general, reports and complaints are handled on the basis of the relevance and recurrence of the complaint received; in 2025, 9 complaints were affected by "escalation".

[S4-5] TARGETS RELATED TO MANAGING MATERIAL NEGATIVE IMPACTS, ADVANCING POSITIVE IMPACTS, AND MANAGING MATERIAL RISKS AND OPPORTUNITIES

Amplifon is committed to continuously addressing significant impacts on consumers and end-users, managing relevant risks, and capitalising on opportunities through targeted actions and the definition of objectives, metrics, and targets. To effectively manage identified significant impacts while ensuring an integrated and responsible approach, the Group allocates dedicated financial resources and leverages the combined efforts of various corporate functions, including Marketing, Legal, and Cybersecurity (IT).

Amplifon has implemented various actions and additional initiatives with the primary objective of contributing positively to improving social outcomes for consumers, particularly in relation to the protection of their personal data. Key actions undertaken include:

Supplier Assessments: Amplifon has adopted a proactive approach in evaluating suppliers, with a particular focus on personal data protection. This approach involves conducting a preliminary assessment to determine the level of privacy risk and the security posture of suppliers, helping to mitigate potential negative impacts on consumers Following these assessments, a report is prepared to certify the work carried out on suppliers and, where necessary, dedicated action plans are defined to improve the security posture of the supplier under review.

Biannual Risk Assessment: Amplifon carries out a biannual privacy risk assessment for its subsidiaries, enabling more timely and targeted risk management. This assessment is conducted through a questionnaire that includes questions relating to any incidents and/or activities concerning privacy matters (issues with privacy authorities, ongoing investigations, lawsuits or receipt of complaints). The results of the questionnaire, which involves all countries in which the Group operates, are analysed to classify each country into one of three risk categories: high, medium or low. The entire process involves the Global Legal & Compliance function, the local Legal function of each country, an external Data Protection Officer or the Contact Point of the relevant country. 212 213 AMPLIFON AT A GLANCE REPORT ON OPERATIONS CONSOLIDATED SUSTAINABILITY STATEMENT CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

In 2025, no significant issues or incidents related to human rights involving consumers and end-users were reported.

INFORMATION RELATED IMPACTS FOR CONSUMERS AND/OR END USERS

Based on its business operations and the outcomes of the double materiality assessment, Amplifon has adopted a set of actions aimed at preventing, mitigating, and, where necessary, remedying negative impacts and managing significant risks for consumers and end-users.

Policies, procedures, and programmes on data privacy and cybersecurity – The Group has implemented organisational measures to ensure the protection of personal data, aiming to reduce the risk of data breaches. These measures are uniformly applied across all Amplifon entities, ensuring a centralised and secure management of personal data throughout the value chain. Amplifon has published a Global Privacy Policy, governing the management of personal data across all the regions where the Group operates. Additionally, it has defined guidelines for managing cross-border data transfers, as well as for the use of artificial intelligence and data privacy.

Data privacy and cybersecurity control system –The Group, through its legal entities, carries out regular compliance checks to ensure adherence to applicable privacy and cybersecurity regulations at the local level. These checks also assess the technical and organisational measures in place to safeguard personal and sensitive data.

Data privacy training initiatives –Awareness initiatives and training programmes have been implemented to reinforce compliance with applicable regulations, significantly improving employees' competence in privacy matters and dedicated communication campaigns. Training on personal data protection is mandatory and is assigned to all employees and new joiners in Europe. The Group has therefore set a 100% target for the delivery of training on data privacy and GDPR to new joiners in Europe. In addition, similar initiatives are in place in non-EU countries, with the aim of ensuring regulatory compliance and strengthening the Company's culture on this topic.

PERSONAL SAFETY OF CONSUMERS AND/OR END USERS

Training Hearing Care Professionals – Amplifon has developed dedicated training programmes for Hearing Care Professionals, with the goal of ensuring a minimum of three training days, as outlined in the strategic plan.

SOCIAL INCLUSION OF CONSUMERS AND/OR END USERS

Free comprehensive hearing tests – This initiative provides free comprehensive hearing tests to prospective and existing customers, enhancing accessibility to audiological services. The programme aims to generate total savings exceeding €600 million for prospects and customers over the 2024–2026 period. Progress is be monitored annually, using a baseline of €184 million recorded in 2023. The geographical scope covers 10 out of 26 countries, selected based on data availability in the new front-office systems, which allow for tracking completed tests across four frequency levels. The implementation period is set from 2024 to 2026, with continuous monitoring to ensure alignment with the defined targets and the achievement of expected results. In 2025, the annual economic savings generated for prospects and customers amounted to Euro 411 million.

Countries that have adopted the New Clinic Protocol – Based on internally validated metrics, the Group has set the objective of completing the roll-out of the New Clinic Protocol by 2026 in the following countries in which it operates: Belgium, Germany, Spain, Italy, the United States and Canada. In Switzerland, the roll-out was already completed in 2025. The roll-out plan will continue in 2027, extending to Portugal and Australia. The objective is to improve the service provided, the customer experience and the quality of data collected, promoting increasingly innovative and engaging hearing experiences and contributing to the achievement of corporate objectives related to efficiency and process quality. The application scope is global, with a baseline of 4% recorded in 2023, the reference year for tracking progress. The implementation period extends from 2024 to 2026, and progress is monitored on an annual basis.

NPS – Net Promoter Score –The Net Promoter Score (NPS) measures customer satisfaction by asking how likely they are to recommend a Company on a scale from 0 to 10. The objective is to collect statistically relevant data, increasing the volume of responses to allow more in-depth analyses and the identification of concrete improvement actions. In 2025, specific initiatives were implemented to recover customer satisfaction, through a series of channels, processes and actions aimed at guiding detractors back into the purchase journey. These targeted activities primarily involved Italy and Spain.

Inbound call management via Call Centre – As previously described, in 2025 the metric relating to the handling of incoming calls –whether commercial in nature or concerning concerns/complaints – stood at 96%, with the aim of minimising unanswered calls and improving the operational efficiency of the call center. In addition, the Group further improved a key indicator used to measure customer satisfaction, namely first call resolution, increasing from 48% in 2024 to 50% in 2025. This metric assesses service quality by measuring how many users who contacted the Group's customer service resolved their issue during the first interaction, without needing to contact customer support again within the following 30 days. This target is directly linked to the Group's Sustainability Policy, significantly impacting customer service quality. The target level is defined in relative terms

POLICIES

Through the principles outlined in the Group Sustainability Policy, Amplifon promotes awareness and prevention activities, educating communities on hearing health and working to reduce the consequences of hearing loss. These efforts are supported by the promotion of responsible listening behaviours, combining awareness initiatives on the importance of protecting hearing and preventing longterm damage. Furthermore, Amplifon adopted a Corporate Volunteering Policy, formalising its commitment to encouraging employee participation in volunteering activities promoted by the Group's Foundations. This policy was drafted and issued by Amplifon S.p.A. and is directly applicable to all its employees, while also serving as a reference framework for all Group companies.

Amplifon supports the Group's Foundations (Fondazione Amplifon ETS, Fundación GAES Solidaria and the Miracle-Ear Foundation), promoting corporate volunteering initiatives. It also contributes to the dissemination of scientific knowledge by sponsoring clinical research and collaborating with universities, scientific institutes and national and international organisations. These initiatives aim to strengthen the positive impact on vulnerable communities, improving the quality of life of the elderly through access to prevention and treatment of hearing disorders, while also increasing public awareness of the importance of responsible listening. For more information on the Group's social impact commitments, please refer to the Sustainability Policy in the "Policies, actions, metrics and targets" section of the "General disclosures (ESRS 2)" chapter.

In its continuous efforts to enhance customer satisfaction and improve service quality, Amplifon remains committed to providing a highly personalised, premium service that meets the specific needs of each individual customer. This commitment aligns with the Company's purpose: helping people rediscover the full emotional experience of sound, generating a positive impact on the quality of life of both customers and the communities in which they live. This dedication is also reflected in the principles of the Group Sustainability Policy.

ACTIONS, METRICS AND TARGETS

Amplifon is committed to enhancing community well-being, improving the quality of services offered, and raising awareness on hearing health through concrete actions. In response to the identified impacts, Amplifon outlines the actions, metrics and targets addressed in this section.

POSITIVE IMPACT ON COMMUNITY WELL-BEING AND SUPPORT FOR PEOPLE IN NEED THROUGH LOCAL DEVELOPMENT INITIATIVES AND PHILANTHROPIC ACTIVITIES

The Group is committed to supporting the activities of Fondazione Amplifon ETS: established in early 2020 in Italy, it operates worldwide to give back to the communities in which the Group operates, ensuring that everyone can reach their full potential through social inclusion, particularly for elderly and vulnerable individuals.

In addition, the Group also supports the activities of two other Foundations operating at local level.

  • • Miracle-Ear Foundation: Founded in 1990, it operates in the United States with the aim of providing hearing aids, follow-up services, and educational resources to individuals with hearing loss who lack financial resources for treatment. It also develops important prevention programmes.
  • • Fundación GAES Solidaria: Established in 1996 and formally recognised as a foundation in 2018, it operates in Spain with the mission of creating opportunities for individuals with hearing loss and limited financial means, enabling them to develop their language and communication skills through local and international hearing-related projects. The activities of these foundations are also supported by Amplifon employees and customers.

In line with its Sustainability Plan target, which includes supporting the development of Fondazione Amplifon and expanding its activities beyond Italy through donations of at least €5 million between 2024 and 2026, the Company donated €2 million to Fondazione Amplifon ETS in 2025. Currently, Fondazione Amplifon ETS operates in Italy, Portugal, Australia, France, Switzerland, Belgium and Spain.

Beyond this financial contribution, in 2025, and in line with the target of reaching at least 5,000 employees' participations in volunteering initiatives and Social Ambassadorship initiatives promoted by the Group's Foundations over the 2024- 2026 period, Amplifon encouraged the participation of more than 3,400 employees in volunteering initiatives promoted by the Foundations and in social ambassadorship activities.

EXAMPLES OF ACTIVITIES OF THE AMPLIFON FOUNDATION ETS, THE GAES SOLIDARIA FOUNDATION AND THE MIRACLE-EAR FOUNDATION IN WHICH GROUP EMPLOYEES PARTICIPATED

  • • Ciao! is the project of Fondazione Amplifon ETS which, since 2020, has been contributing to the wellbeing and active engagement of elderly people in residential care homes, through the best video-connection technologies available on the market. To date, around 300 care homes in Italy and approximately 30 abroad are involved. Their residents have access to a daily entertainment schedule, including concerts, yoga classes, virtual travel experiences, art therapy, press reviews, storytelling sessions, musicals and digital games. Amplifon employees are involved through:
  • Let's Dream: an initiative that collects the dreams and wishes of care home residents and that teams of Amplifon volunteers turn into reality. In 2025, around ten events involved 40 employees engaging elderly residents in Italian care homes through museum visits, concerts with well-known singers, local outings and much more.
  • Ciao! C'è un regalo per te (There's a gift for you): the annual initiative during which Amplifon volunteers donate Christmas gifts to care home residents, helping to bring comfort and closeness to those who often experience loneliness during the holiday season. In 2025, more than 340 employees in Italy, France, Spain and Portugal fulfilled over 700 wishes expressed by elderly residents in around 20 care homes across the four countries.
  • • Elderly people and urban outskirts: Fondazione Amplifon ETS supports various initiatives in urban peripheral areas to combat elderly loneliness, contribute to housing dignity, promote active ageing and foster psychological wellbeing. Among these:
    • Vicini in Città (Neighbours in the City): a programme in partnership with the Community of Sant'Egidio, aimed at combating loneliness and isolation among approximately 300 elderly residents in the Corvetto district of Milan, through accompaniment activities, home visits, phone calls and social gatherings. Ti passo a prendere (I'll pick you up): implemented with Memorabilia, through which 88 volunteers and around forty elderly residents from the Corvetto district attend performances staged by some of Milan's most renowned theatres, such as Teatro Menotti and Piccolo Teatro.
    • Indovina chi viene a casa (Guess Who's Coming to Visit): an initiative developed in partnership with Fondazione di Comunità Milano, together with Fondazione Aquilone and La Bottega di Quartiere, aimed at combating loneliness, addressing domestic hardship and promoting active ageing among 80 elderly people living alone in Milan's Zone 9. During the year, 15 Amplifon volunteers contributed through small home maintenance works for beneficiaries.
  • • Kindness: Alongside more traditional initiatives, Fondazione Amplifon ETS promotes reflection and programming around Kindness, understood as a desirable form of action and relationship, and ultimately as a tool for peace – urgent and accessible to each of us. Among these initiatives, the Festival della Gentilezza (Kindness Festival), now in its second edition, offers a multidisciplinary reflection on the contemporary meaning of Kindness, through contributions from figures in culture, entertainment, sport, music and research. Amplifon employees are engaged through Kindness Labs, dedicated workshops exploring the theme of Kindness and led by distinguished guests. In 2025, five sessions were held, featuring guests such as Dario Fabbri, Francesco Costa, Cecilia Sala, Daria Bignardi and Nicola Lagioia, with more than 260 participations from Group employees. 216 217 AMPLIFON AT A GLANCE REPORT ON OPERATIONS CONSOLIDATED SUSTAINABILITY STATEMENT CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
    • • Teaming Program: a Fundación GAES Solidaria initiative involving around 600 Group's employees, who voluntarily donate €1 per month from their salaries. In 2024, the programme raised approximately €20,000, which was allocated to local community support, medical research, and disaster relief efforts. In 2025 the Foundation awarded ten grants of €2,000 each to research and solidarity projects directly selected by employees.
    • • Vacaciones en Paz: during the summer, the Foundation collaborates with the "Vacaciones en Paz" campaign to provide audiological screenings and hearing aid fittings to 200 Sahrawi children hosted in Spain, safeguarding their hearing health and improving their quality of life.
    • • International Cooperation Projects: Fundación GAES Solidaria carries out solidarity audiology projects throughout the year in Nepal, Equatorial Guinea and Cape Verde, sending teams of hearing care professionals to provide assistance to the local population. During the missions, the team conducted audiometric tests, fitted hearing aids, and delivered training sessions for local healthcare workers, ensuring a long-lasting positive impact on the community.
    • • Miracle Missions:hearing aid donation programmes carried out in collaboration with franchisees and employees within the Miracle-Ear network. In 2025, two missions were organised across the United States, resulting in the donation of over 300 hearing aids to more than 150 individuals in underserved communities, along with ongoing maintenance support to ensure continued benefit over time.

Given its role and significance within the communities in which it operates, Amplifon launched "We Care" in 2019. This programme encourages more responsible behaviours and consolidates the social impact initiatives that the Group promotes in the communities in which it operates, complementing the social inclusion activities promoted by the Group's Foundations.

Below are the key initiatives undertaken in 2025:

AMPLIFONITALIA S.P.A. also in 2025, Amplifon Italia S.p.A. donated approximately €200,000 to support various causes, including the "Una Laurea con Amplifon" project, which providesscholarships for high school graduates pursuing a university degree in Hearing Aid Technology.
AMPLIFONFRANCE the Company continued its collaboration with the association Les Enfants Sourds du Cambodge, carrying out two humanitarian missions in Cambodia. During thesemissions, approximately 1,000 hearing aids were distributed to more than 1,000 children in local communities. Four Amplifon hearing care professionals took part inthe two missions. In addition, these missions supported the training of Cambodian hearing care professionals in preparation for obtaining their technical diploma in2026.
AMPLIFONPORTUGAL Amplifon Portugal continued its support for Missão São Tomé, a programme that has been assisting over 120 children with hearing impairments for the past 14 years.

Additionally, the We Care programme continued to support the MinnesotaWild Deaf & Hard of Hearing hockey team, an organisation dedicated to ensuring equal playing opportunities for individuals with hearing loss. The Company, togetherwith its volunteers, also supported the Hearing Loss Association of America (HLAA), taking part in the local Walk4Hearing initiative supported by over 70 participants,serving meals at the People Serving People homeless shelter in Minneapolis and supporting the local organisation Living Well, which provides assistance to hundredsof people with disabilities. During 2025, 35 employees of the Amplifon Group (Miracle-Ear) volunteered for Living Well.
AMPLIFONAUSTRALIA during the year, Amplifon Australia employees volunteered at six Project Ciao events organised by Fondazione Amplifon. These events involved some of the mostisolated residents of aged care facilities participating in the project. In addition, around 50 Amplifon employees took part in two volunteering days at the RALAC AgedCare facility, refurbishing and building furniture and outdoor structures for residents. Finally, Amplifon Australia donated more than 170 hearing aids to people in needin Samoa and Tonga as part of an ongoing hearing aid donation programme.
AMPLIFONGERMANY In Germany, Amplifon employees expanded the Christmas gift collection initiative to include residents of a second residential care facility in Hamburg. In total, 70elderly residents received personalised Christmas gifts prepared by Amplifon employees from across Germany, who delivered them in person.

POSITIVE IMPACTS ON INDIVIDUALS AND ECONOMIC SYSTEMS GENERATED BY TECHNOLOGICAL INNOVATIONS IN PROCESSES, SERVICES, AND PRODUCTS

Amplifon X – the Group's internal start-up, fully dedicated to Amplifon's digital innovation strategy. It is responsible for the software design and end-to-end development of highly innovative digital solutions aimed at enhancing both in-store and remote services. The key digital solutions and initiatives by Amplifon X include:

• Amplifon App

2025 saw the launch of the new app designed to support customers in the use of their hearing aids, achieving a penetration rate of 25% and a user rating of 4.5 out of 5.

The new app, aimed at enhancing the user experience, enables customers to receive remote support without the need to visit a clinic in person. It allows users to manage device functions in real time, book appointments with their hearing care professional, access video tutorials to resolve minor issues and much more, directly from their smartphone. Thanks to the "Companion" feature, exclusive to the Amplifon App, hearing aid usage data is analysed in real time and processed through an artificial intelligence algorithm. This provides personalised suggestions, such as battery replacement alerts or recommendations for the most suitable programme based on ambient sounds, making the initial adaptation period smoother and more enjoyable.

The roll-out plan of the new Amplifon App initially involved Portugal and New Zealand; the release continued successfully in the United States (Miracle-Ear and AHHC), in France, and subsequently in Switzerland and the United Kingdom. The roll-out was then completed with further releases in Australia, Belgium, Italy and Germany, covering the majority of the planned countries. The Netherlands and Spain represented the final stages of the distribution process of the new App.

Thanks to these developments, the project has involved almost all active Amplifon Product Experience (APE) countries, with only a few still in the implementation phase. The subsequent extension has been planned for the LATAM area, with release scheduled for the first half of 2026.

• OtoPad

This internally developed audiometer uses an iPad, designed to benefit both hearing care professionals and customers. For professionals, it improves the accuracy of test results, allowing for a more precise fitting of hearing aids. For customers, it enhances engagement in the hearing care journey, making the assessment process unique, interactive, and personalised. In 2025, 390 OtoPads were installed in the Group's clinics, out of more than 900 in total, providing hundreds of thousands of hearing tests. In 2026, the objective is to continue the roll-out in order to reach additional stores in countries where the device is already available and to introduce it in new countries (a further 368 OtoPads to be deployed in 2026 across Italy, the USA, the Netherlands, Chile and Australia).

• Otokiosk

An internally developed audiometer that also uses an iPad, but is specifically designed for customer self-use. As a medical device, it ensures high reliability of results while expanding access to hearing loss assessments by providing a faster, more autonomous testing experience outside of clinics. Additionally, OtoKiosk can be used in clinics to optimise productivity, enabling preliminary hearing tests to identify individuals who do not have hearing loss. In 2025, 103 of the approximately 700 OtoKiosks in total were installed across 8 countries in which the Group operates. The objective for 2026 is to continue with the progressive installation of new devices, primarily in three countries (the USA, Canada and Portugal), while enabling an increasing number of people to assess their hearing.

• AmplifAI

In 2025, AmplifAI was launched, a programme dedicated to the responsible adoption of Artificial Intelligence solutions within Amplifon. The objective is to effectively and structurally govern the introduction of AI through a cross-functional approach involving multiple areas of the organisation.

The governance model includes two main bodies:

  • The AmplifAI Control Tower, primarily led by the Chief Information Officer and the Chief Marketing, Technology and Innovation Officer, responsible for strategic direction and overall oversight.
  • The AmplifAI Committee, composed of approximately 60 members, which serves as a reference point for business functions by collecting AI-related ideas, initiatives and needs and bringing them to the attention of the Control Tower.

The programme integrates several areas:

  • Personal productivity (e.g. tools supporting employees' day-to-day activities).
  • Enterprise applications, meaning the integration of AI into existing business processes and platforms.

In this context, AI-native tools are being assessed and adopted (such as automated call centre solutions), AI functionalities integrated into existing software (for example, automated ticket analysis modules), and internally developed customised AI solutions. The aim is to create a coherent AI ecosystem capable of supporting business processes without fragmentation.

Solution development is entrusted to dedicated teams, such as Amplifon X and IT Security, to ensure quality, security and control over the technological perimeter. At the same time, topics such as security, regulatory compliance and Responsible AI remain central, with the involvement of key functions such as Legal and Cybersecurity for regulatory and security aspects.

AmplifAI is conceived as a multi-year programme, combining specific projects, strategic initiatives and industrialisation activities. It includes the development of prototypes, pilot testing (such as those focused on personal productivity) and the continuous enhancement of AI functionalities already in use, for example in ticket management systems. The initiatives in the pipeline cover both incremental developments and new AI-enabled projects.

The programme is also part of a broader roadmap looking towards the future of the organisation, with a mindset of continuous transformation. This vision includes strengthening internal capabilities through AI literacy programmes and ensuring compliance with the requirements of the AI Act.

Amplifon's Centre for Research and Studies (CRS) – Founded in 1971 by Algernon Charles Holland in Italy, Amplifon's Centre for Research and Studies (CRS) is now also active in Spain and France. Its purpose is to consolidate investments and resources in the development, research, and theoretical-practical training in the fields of audiology and otolaryngology. The CRS has always been dedicated to advancing and sharing scientific knowledge in collaboration with universities and national and international scientific societies. Since its inception, it has organised numerous scientific courses and conferences, supported the publication of research studies, and provided scholarships - both nationally and internationally - for medical specialists (ENTs and audiologists-phoniatrists) as well as speech therapists.

In particular, the CRS has developed several initiatives, including:

  • Organisation of training courses and conferences accredited under the Continuing Medical Education (CME/ECM) system, including international events such as satellite sessions within major global audiology congresses, as well as courses dedicated to ENT specialists promoted by local medical teams.
  • Coordination of research projects and production of specialised scientific content, with the publication of studies and reports on advanced audiology topics, including analyses on the impact of noise and insights derived from the activities of the international CRS. CRS maintains an extensive scientific library, dedicated to professionals, researchers, and students.

INCREASED CUSTOMER SATISFACTION AND IMPROVED SERVICE QUALITY DUE TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF SYSTEMS THAT ANALYSE CUSTOMER NEEDS AND EFFICIENTLY MANAGE REPORTS AND COMPLAINTS

Through the Ampli-care Global Store Concept (for further information on Amplicare, please refer to the paragraph "Sustainability strategy" in the chapter "General disclosures (ESRS 2)"), the Group's clinic transformation strategy aimed at offering an exclusive and personalised audiological experience – both during clinic visits and throughout the entire customer journey – Amplifon seeks to activate a comprehensive ecosystem around the customer. Leveraging the data it collects and the advanced technologies it possesses, the Group ensures a very high level of personalisation and service quality, consistently delivered across every touchpoint in the customer journey. For further information, please refer to section "Policies, actions, metrics and targets" of the "General disclosures (ESRS 2)" chapter; Moreover, a key component of Amplifon's offering is the Amplifon 360 Protocol, which is also described in the

aforementioned section as a differentiating element of the Group's offering. This protocol delivers higher customer engagement and unmatched personalisation, ensuring that each individual receives a tailored hearing solution, enabling the standardisation of service quality at high levels.

For further information regarding Customer Relationship Management, please refer to paragraph "[S4-3] Processes to remediate negative impacts and channels for consumers and end-users to raise concerns" in the chapter "[ESRS S4] Consumers and End-Users".

INCREASED AWARENESS AND SENSITIVITY REGARDING THE IMPORTANCE OF HEARING WELLNESS AND RESPONSIBLE LISTENING

Listen Responsibly – Programme designed to increase awareness of hearing wellbeing and responsible listening. By 2028, its goal is to engage at least 20 million people aged 18 to 35, including students, through digital communication campaigns,events and partnerships, such as the one with La Scala in Milan.

To date, the Listen Responsibly programme has engaged more than 25 million people under the age of 35 and, in particular, awareness-raising activities on responsible listening linked to the collaboration with Teatro alla Scala reached 40,000 people between 2024 and 2025.

In addition, the programme is complemented by the dedicated "Listen Responsibly" App, which engages students and citizens as pioneers of a new acoustic ecology. Its noise tracker detects environmental noise levels. The Group has set a target of at least 110,000 total noise measurements by 2026. By the end of 2025, the Group had recorded 103,072 measurements from 19,178 users. Part of these measurements stem from the internal contest launched by Amplifon at the end of 2025 for employees at its Milan headquarters, which involved more than 60 employees. In addition, in 2025 dedicated digital campaigns on responsible listening were launched across the Group's corporate social media profiles (mainly LinkedIn and Instagram), reaching a total of more than 15 million users under the age of 35.

The Listen Responsibly ecosystem, focused on hearing prevention awareness, also includes a series of initiatives involving hearing tests. Since 2023, Amplifon has conducted approximately 1,100 free hearing tests at universities (Bocconi University in Milan, LUISS in Rome and LIUC in Castellanza (VA)), Company premises (including LinkedIn Italy and Sky Italy) and public events (Economy Festival in Trento and TedX "Go Beyond").

Amplifon has also provided hearing screenings to its employees at its offices in Milan (both the global headquarters and the Amplifon Italia S.p.A. offices), Melbourne, Minneapolis, Hamburg and Paris. Finally, on the occasion of World Hearing Day 2025, the Company offered free screenings to citizens in the 15th arrondissement of Paris and to employees of companies located in the Melbourne central business district building that also hosts the offices of Amplifon Australia.

MANAGEMENT OF IMPACTS, RISKS, AND OPPORTUNITIES CONCERNING THE GROUP'S GOVERNANCE

[G1-1] BUSINESS CONDUCT POLICIES AND CORPORATE CULTURE

The Code of Ethics, detailed in the "Policies, actions, metrics and targets" section of the "General disclosures (ESRS 2)" chapter, is at the core of Amplifon's corporate approach. It defines and promotes a corporate culture based on the principles of legality, fairness, honesty, integrity, loyalty, transparency, and efficiency. The Code outlines the fundamental values and standards of conduct that guide the daily actions of all individuals within the Group. Moreover, it forms an integral part of the Organisation, Management, and Control Model adopted by Amplifon S.p.A., in compliance with Italian Legislative Decree 231/2001 ("Model 231").

To reinforce these ethical values, Amplifon has adopted specific corporate Policies that further strengthen the integrity and consistency of its corporate culture. These include the Anti-Corruption Policy, aimed at preventing and combating both active and passive corruption, and the Whistleblowing Policy, through which the Group has outlined and formalised a structured process for managing reports of potential misconduct or violations. In particular, the Policy defines the set of rules and communication channels for submitting and handling reports, encouraging both internal and external stakeholders to report actual or suspected violations of the Code of Ethics, the Anti-Corruption Policy, internal policies and procedures (such as Model 231), as well as the laws and regulations applicable to each Group company, while ensuring the confidentiality of reports in accordance with the applicable legislation. In 2025, Amplifon continued to closely monitor and manage the matters relevant to the Group, with the involvement of the relevant corporate functions also in the area of compliance and/or organisation. 222 223 AMPLIFON AT A GLANCE REPORT ON OPERATIONS CONSOLIDATED SUSTAINABILITY STATEMENT CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

A dedicated section on the Whistleblowing System has been made available on the corporate website and intranet, providing clear guidance on reporting procedures and the relevant channels. Furthermore, the Policy outlines the available reporting channels, the reporting process and how reports are handled, the roles and responsibilities, and the rights and obligations of the whistleblower, in compliance with applicable regulations. The objective is to establish a system that facilitates the reporting of violations, safeguards the confidentiality of reports, and protects

the identity of the whistleblower and all individuals concerned. This approach is designed to reduce the risk of misconduct within the Group. To this end, the Policy specifies that whistleblowers, as well as other individuals involved in the report, are protected against any retaliatory or discriminatory act, whether direct or indirect, for reasons connected, directly or indirectly, to the report. Specifically, no employee or individual within the Group may be dismissed, demoted, suspended, threatened, harassed, or otherwise discriminated against in their working conditions for making a report in accordance with the Group's Whistleblowing Policy. Protection is also guaranteed even if the report, though ultimately unfounded, was made based on proven grounds for believing that the information was true at the time of reporting. In line with the progressive implementation of the Whistleblowing System across the Group's Countries, a specific mandatory online training programme is developed and delivered to inform and train all Amplifon employees and collaborators on the conduct to adopt if they become aware of unlawful behaviour. Furthermore, during the current year, the Group Whistleblowing Policy was updated to reflect the changes made to the Whistleblowing System following the implementation of the new Digital Reporting Platform, as well as to incorporate additional updates in line with a continuous improvement approach. The new version of the Group Whistleblowing Policy was approved by the Board of Directors on 29 October 2025.

For further details on anti-corruption policies related to the prevention of active and passive corruption, please refer to the "Policies, actions, metrics and targets" section on the Anti-Corruption Policy in the "General disclosures (ESRS 2)" chapter. It should also be noted that the corporate functions that could be most exposed to the risk of active and passive corruption are those that perform activities considered 'sensitive' within the meaning of the Anti-Corruption Policy, e.g. the Purchasing, Human Resources, Medical Area functions, and all those that have relations with representatives of public institutions.

[G1-2] MANAGEMENT OF RELATIONSHIPS WITH SUPPLIERS

Managing relationships with suppliers is a critical aspect for the Group, as it has a direct impact on the quality of products and services offered, as well as on overall operational efficiency. For this reason, from the qualification phase onwards, all suppliers - whether involved in procurement contracts, sourcing, or the supply of goods and services - are required to sign Amplifon's Code of Ethics. As outlined in this Code of Ethics, and in alignment with the UN Global Compact Principles and international conventions, Amplifon strictly opposes suppliers that, in violation of fundamental human rights and principles of freedom and dignity, engage in forced or child labour, or any form of discrimination. Furthermore, as in previous years, Amplifon continues to require all hearing device suppliers, whose contracts are subject to periodic renegotiation, to recognise and adhere to the principles outlined

in Amplifon's Sustainability Policy. Additionally, as previously mentioned in the "Policies, actions, metrics and targets" section of the "General disclosures (ESRS 2)" chapter, the Supplier Code of Conduct defines the principles and standards of conduct required from all suppliers and business partners across various areas, including: business ethics and compliance, anti-corruption, human and labour rights, diversity and inclusion, health and safety, environment, and so on. From 2023, mandatory acceptance of the Supplier Code of Conduct was integrated into the qualification process for new suppliers. Additionally, the requirement to sign the Code was extended to existing suppliers who were qualified before the Code's adoption, with priority given to those with the largest global expenditure and those providing critical goods or services. Amplifon assesses the risks associated with its supply chain by adopting a risk-based methodology, considering both the supplier's industry sector and geographical location. This approach enables the identification of potential risks within the supply chain. The progressive adoption of the Supplier Code of Conduct and the identification of potential ESG risks among suppliers have been made possible through the global supplier assessment framework, implemented in 2023. In this regard, for further information please refer to the paragraph "Actions, metrics and targets" in the chapter "Social Information (ESRS S2)". This framework consists of two internal tools: the first tool assesses a supplier's inherent ESG risk level, based on industry sector (with a pilot phase in 2024 covering Marketing, IT, Store Furniture, and Construction) and geographical risk (sector- and country-specific), and the second tool evaluates the residual ESG risk, based on ESG-related data and information provided directly by suppliers via a self-assessment questionnaire. Using the first tool, the framework classifies each supplier into low, medium, or high ESG inherent risk categories, based on widely adopted and internationally recognised indicators covering key ethical, social, and environmental topics. The ESG Self-Assessment Questionnaire consists of a mandatory "Must-Have" section (e.g., compliance and policy-related information), and a "Best Practices" section (e.g., sustainability performance and maturity level), which suppliers must complete. Their responses are then evaluated using a specific scoring methodology.

To support this process, in 2025 the Group conducted three on-site second-level audits at selected suppliers. For further information, please refer to paragraph S2-5 in the chapter ESRS S2 "Workers in the Value Chain".

[G1-3] PREVENTION AND DETECTION OF CORRUPTION AND BRIBERY

Amplifon adopts a zero-tolerance approach towards corruption, both active and passive, as well as illicit favours, collusive behaviour, and solicitations for undue advantages. To prohibit all forms of active and passive corruption, the Group has established general principles outlined in its Anti-Corruption Policy57. The latter also establishes the need to regularly develop training and awareness activities, both at Group and local level, in order to ensure understanding of and continuous updates on anti-corruption requirements, related risks and expected behaviours. Any violations of the Anti-Corruption Policy constitute a breach of the Group's values and may therefore result in the adoption of disciplinary measures Amplifon has implemented a Whistleblowing System for managing reports, including any violations, suspected violations, or non-compliant behaviours related to the Anti-Corruption Policy. This system enables more effective monitoring of potential misconduct or non-compliance with the Policy, as well as with applicable laws and regulations. Reports are received by the Whistleblowing Committee, which provides semi-annual updates - or more frequently when necessary - to the Control, Risk, and Sustainability Committee, as well as to the Supervisory Board in cases relevant to Italian Legislative Decree 231/2001. These updates include a summary report on the actions taken in response to the reports received.

As detailed in the "Policies, actions, metrics and targets" section of the "General disclosures (ESRS 2)" chapter the Anti-Corruption Policy provides guidelines to ensure that Amplifon operates based on loyalty, fairness, transparency, honesty, and integrity. In the course of 2025, anti-corruption compliance assessments were carried out on selected countries in order to verify the level of implementation of the Policy's safeguards and the actions to be implemented locally to ensure its correct and complete application.

The Organisation, Management, and Control Model ("Model 231"), together with the Supervisory Body (OdV), regulates and oversees corporate administrative liability in compliance with Italian legislation. Its implementation is aimed at ensuring corporate activities are conducted with integrity and transparency with the aim of preventing the commission of offences under Italian Legislative Decree 231/2001, and safeguarding Amplifon's reputation and protecting employees and business partners. Amplifon S.p.A.'s Model 231 consists of a general and a special section. In the general part, among the various topics covered, the contents of the Decree are illustrated, the procedures for the establishment and functioning of the Supervisory Body are defined, and the system of sanctions, communication and training of personnel, as well as the reporting channels that the Company has adopted, also

with reference to violations pursuant to the Decree. In the special section, on the other hand, the control protocols of the corporate activities assessed as 'sensitive' for the purposes of Italian Legislative Decree 231/2001 and describes the conduct and foresight measures to be observed in order to reduce the risk of committing offences under the Decree. The Code of Ethics constitutes the essential foundation of Model 231: the two documents form a set of internal rules aimed at disseminating a culture marked by ethics and corporate transparency. Periodic reviews assess the need for updates to Model 231, ensuring alignment with regulatory developments, organisational changes, industry best practices, and compliance standards.

The last version of Model 231 was officially approved by the Board of Directors on 30 July 2024.

In general, Amplifon Group subsidiaries, where applicable, adopt compliance programmes in accordance with local regulations that establish corporate administrative liability.

Amplifon ensures that all employees are promptly informed about updates to the Anti-Corruption Policy and Whistleblowing Policy via email/intranet communications. Regular awareness campaigns are conducted to reinforce key anti-corruption principles, and a summary version of the Policy - containing Amplifon's core anti-corruption principles - is publicly available for third parties on Amplifon's website.

To strengthen employee awareness on corruption and bribery, Amplifon has implemented anti-corruption training programmes aligned with existing policies (Anti-Corruption Policy and Code of Ethics). These principles promote the highest standards in all business relationships, ensuring that activities are conducted with loyalty, fairness, transparency, honesty, and integrity. The Policy also sets out specific rules to prevent, detect, and manage corruption risks. At the local level, anti-corruption training and awareness activities are adapted in line with Group guidelines, while taking into account the specific country-level requirements. Anti-corruption and bribery training is mandatory for all employees, regardless of their specific function or role. At the same time, Amplifon's Board of Directors is regularly updated on regulatory and jurisprudential developments, including anticorruption matters, through periodic briefings from the Supervisory Body, which also provides them in the area of corruption.

[G1-4] CONFIRMED INCIDENTS OF CORRUPTION OR BRIBERY

Amplifon has not received any convictions, and consequent fines, for violations of the law on active and passive corruption. Consequently, due to the absence of such cases, no action was taken against violations of the procedures and rules for combating corruption and bribery.

Similarly, the Group had no proven cases of active and passive bribery and no cases of contracts with business partners that were terminated or not renewed due to violations related to active and passive bribery in 2025.

To mitigate cybersecurity risks, Amplifon has implemented specific policies aimed at protecting data and preventing cyberattacks.

The internal Global Information Security Policy defines the principles, requirements and guidelines underpinning the Information Security Management System (ISMS) implemented and maintained by the Company to ensure information security, in compliance with the international standard ISO/IEC 27001:2022. This policy sets out the Group's commitment to the continuous monitoring and management of cybersecurity-related threats.

The Global Data Privacy Policy governs operations in this area; for more details, please refer to the "Policies, actions, metrics and targets" section in the "General disclosures (ESRS 2)" chapter.

In addition, a Group-wide information security documentation framework has been defined, encompassing policies, processes, procedures and operating instructions addressing and regulating key information security topics (e.g., access control, asset management, supplier management).

ACTIONS, METRICS AND TARGETS

In 2025, Amplifon reinforced its cybersecurity oversight, expanding its coverage to foster shared responsibility and enhance collaboration between departments. To mitigate potential risks, the Company has strengthened several initiatives:

Cybersecurity training – Amplifon invests in continuous cybersecurity training for employees, with a particular focus on emerging threats such as deepfake attacks and phishing. Through dedicated training programmes, the Company raises awareness about cyber risks, equipping employees with the skills to detect and counteract threats. The objective is to build an informed and proactive workforce capable of actively contributing to the protection of corporate data and systems, thereby reinforcing the organisation's overall resilience against cyber threats. This includes periodic phishing campaigns – three of which were organised in 2025. During these campaigns, both negative behaviours (clicking on links or scanning QR codes, entering credentials, replying to emails) and positive behaviours (such as reporting the email via the dedicated Outlook button) are monitored at both overall and individual country level. The results are shared with local IT teams, which are required to communicate them locally to all users involved in the simulation. Targeted phishing training is assigned to all those who fail the simulation. In 2025, the three phishing campaigns conducted recorded an average of 26.8% of users clicking on the fake malicious link ("Red" threshold) and 10.1% entering credentials in the fake login form ("Green" threshold). Further corrective actions aimed at reducing risk are currently being defined. Overall, 3,552 training hours were delivered. The Company also provides a "curriculum vitae" of the cybersecurity skills acquired by its employees upon completion of relevant training activities.

ISO 27001 Certification and NIS2 Compliance – In May 2025, Amplifon S.p.A. obtained ISO 27001 certification without any non-conformities. The certification, which provides the framework necessary to protect information through the adoption of an ISMS, covers the provision of corporate services supporting the design, development, distribution and maintenance of hearing solutions. Preparatory activities are already underway to extend the scope of certification during the 2026 surveillance audit, including subsidiaries in Australia, Belgium, the Netherlands and Portugal, with the objective of further extending certification in subsequent years. Maintaining certification also entails an annual second-level audit of the system conducted by an independent third party. At the same time, alignment with the requirements of the European NIS2 Directive is progressing in countries where the directive has already been transposed (Italy, Belgium and Hungary).

At the Parent Company and in the offices of the aforementioned subsidiaries, gap analyses and related remediation actions are being carried out to ensure compliance with the Directive and meet its requirements. The Directive has also introduced the obligation for companies to report significant incidents to national NIS2 supervisory authorities based on the perimeter affected by the event.

Cybersecurity assessment and audit on suppliers – At Amplifon S.p.A., the process for assessing suppliers' information security and privacy maturity continues and is required for every new contract and renewal, in order to ensure a robust level of security across Amplifon's entire supply chain.

As of 2025, this has been complemented by a structured security audit programme on existing suppliers carried out by the Global Cyber Security function. Suppliers are selected based on the relevance of the services provided, the level of risk identified in preliminary assessments, and the presence of the contractual "Right to Audit" clause. In 2025, four suppliers underwent second-level audits. Feedback gathered to date has been generally positive; findings were shared with the supplier's internal contact and an action plan with defined timelines was proposed. In specific cases, depending on the type of service provided, penetration testing activities were also carried out on applications or platforms delivered by the supplier.

Digital transformation process – The digital transformation journey continued in 2025 through the consolidation of technologies aimed at optimising the secure management of business processes, strengthening protection against cyber threats and enabling more efficient and secure operations in a continuously evolving digital environment. These include:

  • a data lake solution, acting as a large data repository that enables the efficient and secure collection, storage and analysis of large volumes of information and their correlation in the event of incidents;
  • an XDR (Extended Detection and Response) solution that contributes to the creation of an integrated view of possible threats from different sources, facilitating the detection of and immediate response to cyber-attacks;
  • an advanced mail security solution capable of identifying and quarantining malicious incoming emails;
  • a CNAPP (Cloud-Native Application Protection Platform) solution, protecting cloud-native applications throughout their lifecycle and providing a unified view of cloud security status.

Information security vulnerability analysis – The Group conducts periodic checks through vulnerability assessments and penetration testing, engaging application owners on a rotating basis and verifying system security in non-production environments. In addition, for certain teams, a continuous verification process has been implemented whenever system changes are made, including dedicated security testing. In 2025, 20 full tests were conducted.

Security rating – In 2025, activities continued to maintain HiTrust and SOC 2 (System and Organization Controls) certifications for Amplifon Hearing Health Care (AHHC) in the United States.

Information security related business continuity plans – The Group has established the processes necessary for incident management. To further extend and formalise these processes, with the support of a third party, a Business Impact Analysis will be conducted in 2026 to identify the most critical processes, enabling the Group to define operational continuity plans and procedures.

For further details on data privacy and cybersecurity activities and programme, please refer to the "Actions, metrics and targets" section in the "ESRS S4 – Consumers and end-users" chapter.

NOTES

1. GENERAL INFORMATION

The Amplifon Group is global leader in the distribution of hearing solutions and the fitting of customized products.

The parent company, Amplifon S.p.A. is based in Via Ripamonti 133, Milan, Italy and it's controlled directly by Ampliter S.r.l. (42.01% of share capital and 68.36% of voting rights), held for a 100.0% by Amplifin S.r.l., which is owned at 88% by Susan Carol Holland.

The consolidated financial statements at 31 December 2025 have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and the regulations implementing article 9 of Legislative Decree No. 38 of 28 February 2005. These standards include the IAS and IFRS issued by the International Accounting Standard Board, as well as the SIC and IFRIC interpretations issued by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee, which were endorsed in accordance with the procedure set out in article 6 of Regulation (EC) no. 1606 of 19 July 2002 by 31 December 2025. International Financial Reporting Standards endorsed after that date and before the preparation of these financial statements are adopted in the preparation of this annual report only if early adoption is allowed by the endorsing regulation, by the reporting standard itself and the Group has elected to do so.

The publication of the consolidated financial statements of the Amplifon Group for the year closed on 31 December 2025, carried out in accordance with European Commission Delegated Regulation n. 2019/815, as amended, was authorized by the Board of Directors on 4 March 2026. This annual report is subject to the approval of the Annual Shareholders' Meeting of Amplifon S.p.A. convened on 23 April 2026.

The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the annual report and a summary of the accounting principles and interpretations to be applied in the future are detailed in Note 45 "Accounting Policies".

2. IMPACT OF TRADE TARIFFS, MILITARY CONFLICT IN UKRAINE AND THE MIDDLE EAST, THE MACROECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT, AND CLIMATE CHANGE ON THE GROUP'S PERFORMANCE AND FINANCIAL POSITION

In 2025, the global macroeconomic and geopolitical environment was characterised by high volatility, particularly due to developments in the crisis areas of Ukraine and the Middle East, as well as changes in United States trade policies, including the introduction and extension of tariffs. In this regard, at the beginning of September the US government initiated an investigation pursuant to "Section 232" across several product categories, including medical devices, in order to assess whether their importation into the United States constitutes a threat to national security. The outcome of this investigation, which must be concluded within 270 days from its initiation, may justify the adoption of trade measures potentially affecting the Group's suppliers. However, the Group can rely on solid mitigation levers: significant negotiating power, diversification of sourcing, relative flexibility of suppliers in managing production logistics and, not least, the Group's geographical diversification. The conflict between Russia and Ukraine remains highly unstable, and negotiations for a peace plan continue to alternate between phases of diplomatic stalemate and new economic sanctions imposed by Western countries. The Group confirms that it has no exposure, either direct or indirect, in Ukraine, Russia or Belarus. 248 249 AMPLIFON AT A GLANCE REPORT ON OPERATIONS CONSOLIDATED SUSTAINABILITY STATEMENT CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The geopolitical context in the Middle East remains extremely complex and delicate, and at the end of February 2026, it deteriorated further due to the significant escalation of the conflict in Iran. Coordinated attacks by the United States and Israel against Iranian military and nuclear infrastructure triggered an immediate response from Tehran, which launched several attacks against targets in the Gulf region, intensifying regional tensions and fostering a widespread climate of instability. The situation continues to be characterized by significant political uncertainty,

conflicting rumors regarding Iran's leadership, and a gradual intensification of military operations, all of which represent a potential risk to energy markets and the confidence of economic operators globally. At the same time, despite the agreement reached in October 2025 between the United States, Israel, and Hamas, which provided for a ceasefire and led to the establishment in 2026 of the Board of Peace, an international body aimed at promoting stability, reconstruction, and lasting peace in areas affected or threatened by conflict, the ongoing Iranian crisis continues to make the regional stabilization process particularly fragile. However, the Group's exposure in the area remains very limited: there are 24 clinics operating in Israel, which together generate less than 1% of consolidated annual revenues; activities in neighboring countries, such as Egypt, are marginal; furthermore, the Group has no direct or indirect activities in Lebanon or Iran.

During the year, the Group maintained close monitoring of developments in the macroeconomic environment, with particular focus on inflation and interest rate trends, as well as the growing instability of the geopolitical context, both of which impact economic growth, demand and patient confidence. Although the hearing aid market has historically demonstrated resilience even during periods of economic crisis, given the essential and non-discretionary nature of hearing care, as well as the existence of reimbursement and financing systems supporting access to hearing services and devices, the persistence of uncertainty and volatility in the macroeconomic and geopolitical environment has generally affected patient confidence, leading to the postponement of purchases of devices that remain necessary in the medium term.

With reference to climate change, it is worth nothing that the Group has launched its climate strategy, validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions and contributing to the achievement of the objectives of the 2015 Paris Agreement to combat climate change. In particular, the strategy provides for a 42% reduction in the Group's direct greenhouse gas emissions (Scope 1 and 2) by 2030 compared to 2023. Over the same timeframe, the Group has committed to reducing Scope 3 indirect emissions by 25%, particularly those deriving from purchased goods and services, capital goods, fuel and energy-related activities, upstream logistics of purchased goods, employee commuting, leased assets, use of sold products and franchisees. The plan also provides that, by 2030, approximately 44% of the Group's suppliers (in terms of emissions associated with purchased goods and services) will have science-based greenhouse gas emission reduction targets in place. It is further noted that, considering the nature of its activities and its business model, the Group does not have significant exposure to environmental risks, particularly those related to climate change.

3. ACQUISITIONS AND GOODWILL

IDENTIFICATION OF THE GROUPS OF CASH GENERATING UNITS

ANNUAL REPORT 2025

For the purpose of determining Cash Generating Units, consideration was given to the fact that the Group's management structure is organised into three Regions ("EMEA", "Americas" and "Asia Pacific"), which are homogeneous in terms of business models and represent both the level at which results are monitored by Group Management and the operating segments for which disclosures are provided in accordance with IFRS 8. Budget guidelines are defined centrally at Regional level, and the Regional Executive Vice Presidents are autonomous in allocating resources to their respective countries (which, under the Group's business model, act exclusively as distributors) and in managing their operations. Accordingly, total goodwill arising from the allocation of the consideration paid for business combinations is allocated and monitored by Group Management at the level of Groups of Cash Generating Units, which coincide with the Regions. This reflects the fact that the independence of cash flows is ensured exclusively at this level, whereas it is not guaranteed at the level of individual countries (individual CGUs).

The groups of cash generating units identified for the purpose of impairment testing in the period are:

  • EMEA that includes Italy, France, the Netherlands, Germany, Belgium, Switzerland, Spain, Portugal, Hungary, Poland, Israel, and Egypt;
  • AMERICAs which includes the individual businesses through which it operates in the US market (Franchising, Retail, and Managed Care) and the countries Canada, Argentina, Chile, Mexico, Panama, Ecuador, Colombia and Uruguay;
  • ASIA PACIFIC which includes Australia, New Zealand, India, and China.

The recoverable value of goodwill is assessed at the higher of fair value and value in use. As at 31 December 2025, management used value in use for its valuations.

IMPAIRMENT TESTS

For all Groups of Cash Generating Units, the impairment test was performed in accordance with IAS 36 requirements, determining the value in use using the discounted cash flow (DCF) method on a post-tax basis, consistent with the post-tax discount rates used.

The value in use of the Groups of Cash Generating Units was determined by discounting the expected cash flows derived from the three-year Business Plans (2026–2028) approved by the governing bodies of the subsidiaries, as well as from the consolidated Business Plan (2026–2028) approved by the Board of Directors of Amplifon S.p.A. on 17 December 2025.

Set out below are the key assumptions used by management in estimating value in use, relating to the discount rate (WACC), the growth rate (g), and expected changes in revenues and costs over the forecast period.

The discount rate applied to future cash flows reflects the post-tax weighted average cost of capital (WACC), incorporates market assessments at the time the impairment test was performed and was determined using: risk-free rates at CGU level corresponding to the yield on ten-year government bonds, Beta, the Equity Risk Premium and the cost of debt.

In particular, the Equity Risk Premium and Beta were determined in accordance with best practice using an internationally recognised database (Damodaran), which takes into account, with respect to the Equity Risk Premium, specific market risks and the macroeconomic environment, and, with respect to Beta – which measures the systematic risk of a financial asset – the specific risks of the markets in which the Group operates. As the specific hearing aid sector is not separately analysed in the database used, Beta was determined as the arithmetic average of the Betas relating to the Healthcare Products, Healthcare Support Services and Retail (Special Lines) sectors.

In addition, particular attention was paid to sensitivity analyses, verifying that there is a sufficient level of headroom for all Groups of Cash Generating Units, both in terms of operating cash flows generated and under scenarios involving increases in discount rates and decreases in growth rates, as described below.

The perpetual growth rate for each country was adjusted to reflect the International Monetary Fund's forecast for inflation in 2029.

Below are shown the growth and discount rates used for the impairment test, compared with those used in the previous year.

EMEA AMERICAS ASIA PACIFIC
Growth rate 1.94% 2.69% 2.34%
WACC (*) 2025 7.16% 9.42% 7.38%
Cash flow time horizon (explicit assumption) 3Y 3Y 3Y
WACC (*) 2024 6.81% 9.28% 7.05%

(*) The WACC of the Groups of CGUs was determined by weighting the WACCs of each CGU found in the region based on the respective EBITDA recorded in the last year of the business plan.

With reference to the EMEA Group of Cash Generating Units, the impairment test excludes the cash flows relating to the UK operations, which were disposed of on 2 March 2026 at a price aligned with their carrying amount. In connection with this disposal transaction, as at 31 December 2025 the assets and liabilities relating to Amplifon United Kingdom Limited and its subsidiaries were reclassified to the items "Assets held for sale" and "Liabilities held for sale".

The impairment test indicated that the recoverable amount exceeded the carrying amount for all Groups of Cash Generating Units, with a narrower headroom in the Asia Pacific Region due to the lower contribution from the Chinese market, which in FY 2025 was affected by weakness in the retail market, with revenues and EBITDA margin declining both compared to 2024 and to the 2025 budget.

No loss in value was identified as a result of impairment testing.

All the Groups of Cash Generating Units were also subjected to sensitivity analyses in order to determine the change in underlying assumptions which, in light of the impact of this change on other variables, would result in the Groups of Cash Generating Units' recoverable value being equal to its book value. Moreover, the impairment test carried out for the year 2025, in line with the forecasts of the 2026-2028 plan characterised by lower growth rates and more conservative outlooks compared to the previous planning cycle (2025–2027), shows a decrease compared to 2024 in all regions of the maximum variation in the value assigned to the basic assumptions, which makes the value in use equal to its carrying amount (net invested capital), with a more significant impact on the APAC area, where the headroom in terms of variation in growth and discount rates has been reduced to 2%.

Total 37,365 52,884 (15,519)

As of December 31st 2025, the amount of other non-current assets amounts to €37,365 thousand (€52,884 thousand as of December 31, 2024).

The long-term financial receivables refer largely to the loans granted to Miracle Ear franchisees in the United States to support growth.

The decrease in the item "Tax credits relating to superbonus discounts" compared to the prior year is due to the reclassification to current assets of the residual portion utilisable in 2026 of the tax credits arising from superbonus discounts pursuant to Articles 119 and 121 of Decree Law No. 34/2020, acquired during 2024 from a leading financial institution for a nominal amount of €46,263 thousand at a consideration of €43,149 thousand, payable in instalments aligned with the expected utilization schedule of the credits over the three-year period 2024-2026. In accordance with the applicable tax legislation, such credits are used as offsets against the payment of taxes, withholding taxes and social security contributions. As at 31 December 2025, no credits remain utilizable beyond a one-year horizon and, therefore, the noncurrent portion has been reduced to nil. Please refer to Note 12 "Other receivables" for more details regarding utilization and new acquisitions during 2025. Both long-term financial receivables and other non-current assets are held until the contractual cash flows are received and discounted when the interest rate applied to the latter differs from the market rate.

8. DERIVATIVES AND HEDGE ACCOUNTING

These are instruments not listed on official markets, entered into for the purpose of hedging interest rate and/or currency risk. The fair value of these instruments is determined by using valuation models based on market-derived inputs (source: Bloomberg) such as forward rates, exchange rates, etc. The valuation is performed using the DCF method. Own risk and counterparty risk (credit/debit value adjustments) were taken into account. These credit/debit value adjustments were determined based on market information such as the value of CDS (Credit Default Swaps) and used to determine counterparty risk, also taking into account the mutual break clause if present.

The following table shows the fair values of the derivatives outstanding at the endof the comparison period and at the reporting date showing the fair value of thosederivatives that qualify as fair value hedges and cash flow hedges, and those that donot qualify for hedge accounting, separately. The following table details the gains or losses from the derivatives currently in placeand the impact on the statement of financial position of the cash flow hedge reserve.Amounts are shown before the tax effect.

The Group adheres to a credit agreement (reverse factoring or indirect factoring) based on which suppliers can transfer their credits with the Group to a financial institution and receive early payment of their invoices. The Group does not eliminate the original liabilities to which the agreement applies from its accounts insofar as no legal release has been obtained nor have any substantive changes been made to the original liability as a result of the agreement. The agreement does not result in a significant lengthening of the Group's payment terms beyond the normal expirations established prior to adhering to the agreement or with the suppliers who do not adhere to the agreement.

The Group, furthermore, may not postpone payment to the financial institution of its trade payables and does not have to pay additional interest to the financial institution on the amounts owed by the suppliers. The amounts factored by the suppliers are classified as trade payables as the nature and purpose of the financial liabilities are not any different from those of the other trade payables. The trade payables which have yet to expire transferred to the factor by the suppliers amounted to €43,687 thousand at 31 December 2025.

The average collection time on trade payables was around 120 days in 2025.

Total revenues from sales and services 2,395,705 2,409,241 (13,536)

Consolidated revenues from sales and services for 2025 reached €2,395,705 thousand, slightly decreasing (-0.6%) compared to the comparative period. The decrease of €13,536 thousand is mainly attributable to exchange rate movements, which had a negative impact of €54,330 thousand (-2.3%). The perimeter change contributed positively overall for €42,009 thousand (+1.7%): the contribution from acquisitions carried out was partially offset by the initial network optimisation measures implemented under the Fit4Growth program, which led to the closure of approximately 160 underperforming hearing care centres and the significant rationalisation of activities relating to the indirect sales channels of the Chinese subsidiary Hangzhou Amplifon Hearing Aid Co. Ltd. Organic performance was substantially in line with the comparative period.

Revenues from services rendered were €4,605 thousand higher and refer mainly to the deferred revenues for post-sales services which are recognised over time based on the extent to which the performance obligations have been satisfied.

For the breakdown of revenues by geographical area refer to Note 44 "Segment Information".

The main goods and services provided by the Amplifon Group in 2025, as well as the nature and terms of the performance obligations, are described below.

Goods and Services Nature and timing of satisfaction
Hearing aid and relatedfitting activities This represents a single, indivisible Performance Obligation comprising thehearing aid and the related fitting and customised adaptation activitiesperformed using computerised systems to meet the individual's needs.The Group recognises the related revenue at the time of completion of thefitting process or, where applicable, at the end of the trial period.
Other goods Batteries, cleaning kits and other ancillary products.The Group recognises revenue relating to other goods at the point in timewhen control is transferred, which may occur either at the time of sale(e.g. batteries, cleaning kits and other ancillary products) or over time (e.g.batteries supplied under ongoing arrangements).
After-sales services After-sales services include:- Cleaning, adjustment and servicing of the hearing aid;- Periodic hearing checks;- Post-sales assistance;The Group recognises revenue relating to after-sales services over the term ofthe contract, generally 4–5 years. Revenue recognition is determined based onthe period during which such services are actually rendered and on the numberof visits requested by the customer, as determined using statistical data derivedfrom front-office systems.
Extended warranties Extended warranties represent an additional service beyond the statutorywarranty, which is legally the responsibility of the supplier.The Group recognises revenue relating to extended warranties on astraight-line basis over the duration of the extension period.
Loss & Damage Where the warranty consists of the sale of an insurance policy issued byaccredited insurance companies, the corresponding revenue is recognised ata point in time and the Group acts as an agent. Revenue is recognised overtime where the warranty consists of the provision of a replacement hearingaid or a discount on the purchase of a device of the same nature as the onelost or damaged.
Material rights Material rights (so-called material rights) include, for example, discounts onfuture purchases and loyalty points. The Group recognises revenue relatingto a material right when the right is exercised by the customer or when thelikelihood that the customer will exercise the remaining rights becomesremote.

The deferred revenues for goods transferred and services rendered over time which will be realized in subsequent years and included in the short- and long-term contract liabilities at 31 December 2025 are shown below:

As part of the Fit4Growth program aimed at improving profitability and strengthening competitiveness, the following costs were incurred in FY 2025:

  • €6,092 thousand relating to employee termination incentives, mainly associated with improving the efficiency of the sales network and implementing adjustments to the back-office structure, resulting in an overall headcount reduction of approximately 230 employees during 2025;
  • €2,577 thousand relating to consultancy fees and other charges.

The lease and rental costs refer to leases not subject to IFRS 16 application (leases for low value assets, short-term leases, leases with variable payment terms).

The breakdown of the Group's other income and costs is shown below.

FY 2025 FY 2024 Change
Other income and costs (2,450) 6,442 (8,892)
Total (2,450) 6,442 (8,892)

Other income and expenses for FY 2025 amounted to negative €2,450 thousand, compared to positive €6,442 thousand in the previous year. The negative change of €8,892 thousand mainly relates to the recognition during the year of charges amounting to €3,956 thousand following a reassessment of loans received by the US subsidiary Miracle-Ear Inc. under the so-called Paycheck Protection Program Loan (PPP loan) in 2020–2021, which, contrary to initial estimates, will have to be repaid and to lower income from the releases of contingent consideration (earn-outs).

33. AMORTIZATION, DEPRECIATION AND IMPAIRMENT

The breakdown of the Group's amortization, depreciation and impairment is shown below.

(€ thousands)

FY 2025 FY 2024 Change
Amortization of intangible fixed assets (105,825) (108,062) 2,237
Depreciation of property, plant, and equipment (66,038) (61,710) (4,328)
Depreciation of right-of-use assets (137,454) (131,586) (5,868)

Impairment (5,760) (2,918) (2,842)
Total (315,077) (304,276) (10,801)

Amortization, depreciation, and impairment amounted to €315,077 thousand in 2025, an increase of €10,801 thousand against the comparison period. The change is explained primarily by higher investments in intangible assets, property, plant and equipment, and rights of use assets described in Note 4 "Intangible assets with a useful life", Note 5 "Property, plant and equipment", and Note 6 "Right-of-use assets", respectively.

In the context of the Fit4Growth program to strengthen margins and reinforce the company's competitiveness, in 2025 expenses amounted €5,041 thousand were incurred relating to the impairment of property, plant and equipment, intangible assets and right-of-use assets. For details, refer to notes 4, 5 and 6.

34. FINANCIAL INCOME, EXPENSES, AND VALUE ADJUSTMENTS TO FINANCIAL ASSETS

The breakdown of the Group's financial income, expenses and value adjustments to financial assets is shown below.

Interest expenses on short and long-term bankloans (38,994) (38,618) (376)
Interest income and expenses (35,048) (34,740) (308)
Interest expenses on lease liabilities (20,680) (19,138) (1,542)
Other financial income and charges (5,930) (3,184) (2,746)
Exchange rate gains and inflation accounting 27,974 32,089 (4,115)
Exchange rate losses and inflation accounting (31,707) (34,736) 3,029
Gains/(losses) on financial assets at fair value –non-hedge accounting derivatives 380 (550) 930
Exchange rate differences and gains/(losses)on financial assets at fair value (3,353) (3,197) (156)
Total (64,783) (60,034) (4,749)

Interest expense on financial debt as at 31 December 2025, net of higher interest income on cash investments, amounted to €35,048 thousand, compared to €34,740 thousand as at 31 December 2024. The increase is mainly attributable to higher financial indebtedness.

Interest expense on lease liabilities recognised in accordance with lease accounting as at 31 December 2025 amounted to €20,680 thousand, compared to €19,138 thousand as at 31 December 2024, reflecting the expansion of the store network.

ANNUAL REPORT 2025

Other financial income and expenses as at 31 December 2025 amounted to €5,930 thousand, compared to €3,184 thousand as at 31 December 2024. The increase is mainly attributable to higher finance charges on factoring and other working capital management transactions and to lower financial income in FY 2025 arising from the accounting treatment of purchases of tax credits with deferred payment relating to the incentives governed by Articles 119 and 121 of Decree Law No. 34/2020 (the socalled "Decreto Rilancio").

The change in the item "Foreign exchange differences and gains and losses on assets measured at fair value" mainly relates to the impact of exchange rate differences resulting from significant exchange rate fluctuations during the period, partially offset by the lower negative impact of inflation accounting on the Argentine subsidiary.

INTEREST RATE RISK - SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS:

The Amplifon Group's exposure to changes in interest rates is mitigated significantly by the fact that a large part of the medium/long-term debt is fixed rate as a result of interest rate hedges or because the debt is fixed rate.

More in detail:

  • as a result of hedges, the average rate on the loans granted by the refinancing of the GAES acquisition for €105 million, Mediobanca for €75 million, Unicredit/CDP for €100 million (UniCredit's portion), Credit Agricole/SACE for €44.1 million, is 2.460%;
  • the bond issued in February 2020 has a fixed rate of 1.125%;
  • the €70 million EIB loan has a fixed rate of 3.653%;
  • the €50 million EIB loan has a fixed rate of 3.902%;
  • the €75 million EIB loan has a fixed rate of 3.279%;
  • the €100 million UniCredit/CDP loan (CDP's portion) has a fixed rate of 3.281%.

The impact on the income statement of plausible changes in interest rates, applied to the consolidated figures at 31 December 2025, is shown below.

CURRENCY RISK - SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS:

The exchange risk stemming from financial transactions is hedged by derivatives; for operational transactions and provision of intercompany services, for which positions are frequently both active and passive for individual companies, the risk is covered, when possible, by using a natural hedge which aims to balance active and passive positions for each company by maintaining currency deposits which can be used to cover any differences which exceed €1 million.

Given the management of foreign exchange risk described in Note 42, "Financial risk management", the residual currency risk on receivables, payables and future revenue streams which has not been hedged is not significant.

Effective tax/theoretical tax rate 31,628 24.0% 47,227 24.0%

The Group tax rate is equal to 30.5% compared to 26% from last year mainly due, on the one hand, to business performance and, on the other, to the absence of the positive effects from exempt income (net of non‑deductible costs) and alignment with the results of the tax returns from which the Group had benefited in 2024.

GENERAL FEATURES OF THE SUSTAINABLE VALUE SHARING PLAN 2022-2027

The Board of Directors of Amplifon S.p.A. of May 3, 2022, on the basis of the resolution of the Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting of April 22, 2022 and after consulting the Remuneration and Appointments Committee, approved the Sustainable Value Sharing Plan 2022-2027.

The Co-investment Scheme, originally intended exclusively for the Chief Executive Officer/General Manager of the Company, was subsequently amended by the Shareholders' Meeting of April 21, 2023 and approved by the Board of Directors of Amplifon S.p.A. on May 2, 2023, so that it could also be allocated to Executives with Strategic Responsibilities and to some key Group resources (beneficiaries).

The Scheme is a composite incentive instrument that achieves its effects through two distinct phases, of which the second is only possible and depends on the development of the first (respectively, "Phase A" and "Phase B").

Phase A: the Target MBO achieved and hypothetically due to the beneficiaries under the MBO Plan applicable in the previous year is not disbursed and instead of the Target MBO the beneficiaries obtain a certain number of rights (the "Co-invested Rights") that will allow them to receive shares at the end of the vesting period of Phase B referred to below, or at an earlier time in the event that Phase B does not reach maturity.

Phase B: if in a given year the beneficiaries receive Co-invested Rights by virtue of the mechanism described above, the beneficiaries will participate in an additional and separate incentive instrument based on financial instruments, under which the Company assigns additional rights, equal in number to the Co-invested Rights, which will allow the beneficiaries to receive shares provided that certain objectives are

achieved by the end of a vesting period of performance linked to the generation of value and sustainable success of the Group (the "Matched Rights").

The details of the allocations of the Sustainable Value Sharing Plan 2022-2027, currently in place, including the new allocations that took place in the year 2025, are listed below:

38. EARNINGS (LOSSES) PER SHARE

BASIC EPS

Basic earnings per share is obtained by dividing the net profit for the year attributable to the ordinary shareholders of the parent company by the weighted average number of shares outstanding in the year, considering purchases and disposals of treasury shares as cancellations and issues of shares respectively.

Earnings per share is determined as follows:

(€ thousands)

Earnings per share FY 2025 FY 2024
Net profit (loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders (€thousand) 91,334 145,374
Average number of shares outstanding in the year 222,502,302 225,791,949
Average earnings per share (€ per share) 0.41049 0.64384

DILUTED EPS

Diluted earnings per share is obtained by dividing the net income for the year attributable to ordinary shareholders of the parent company by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the year adjusted by the diluting effects of potential shares. In the calculation of shares outstanding, purchases and sales of treasury shares are considered as cancellations and issues of shares, respectively.

The 'potential ordinary share' categories refer to the possible conversion of Group employees' stock options. The calculation of the average number of outstanding potential shares is based on the average fair value of shares for the period; stock options and stock grants are excluded from this calculation as they have anti-dilutive effects.

41. TRANSACTIONS ARISING FROM ATYPICAL/UNUSUAL TRANSACTIONS

Pursuant to Consob Communication of 28 July 2006, during 2025 the Group carried out no atypical and/or unusual transactions, as defined by the Communication.

42. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

In order to ensure a structured management of treasury activities and financial risks, the Group adopted, as early as 2012, a Treasury Policy, which serves as an operational guideline for the management of:

  • currency risk;
  • interest rate risk;
  • credit risk;
  • price risk;
  • liquidity risk.

This Policy is periodically updated to ensure a proactive approach to risk management.

CURRENCY RISK Details Currency risk comprises the following categories:-foreign exchange transaction risk, i.e. the risk that the value of a financial asset or liability, a forecasted transaction or a firm commitment may fluctuate due to changes inexchange rates;-foreign exchange translation risk, i.e. the risk that the translation into the presentation currency of the consolidated financial statements of assets, liabilities, costs and revenuesrelating to a net investment in a foreign operation may generate positive or negative differences compared to the original balances.Within the Amplifon Group, foreign exchange transaction risk mainly relates to:-Procurement and Supply Chain activities carried out by the Parent Company, which centrally manages purchases of hearing aids and accessories subsequently resoldto subsidiaries. Purchases from suppliers are generally made, with limited exceptions, in the same currency in which they are invoiced to subsidiaries, with payment termssubstantially reflecting those negotiated with suppliers, thereby minimising exchange rate risk. However, the presence of a mark-up, the aforementioned exceptions and yearend true-ups, the amounts of which may be significant, make the risk relevant;-Transactions in which purchase costs or sales revenues are denominated in a currency other than the local currency, as is the case in certain smaller markets (Israel, Canada andthe Latin American subsidiaries), where purchase costs are incurred in Euro or US dollars;-Other intercompany transactions, such as short and long-term loans, recharges under intercompany service agreements and other centrally incurred costs. These transactionsexpose companies whose functional currency differs from the currency in which the intercompany transaction is denominated to exchange rate risk;-Commitments to acquire or dispose of equity interests, which may give rise to exchange rate exposure in the period between signing and closing of the transaction.Foreign exchange translation risk arises from investments in the United States and Canada, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Hungary, Poland, Israel, Australia, New Zealand, India,China, Chile, Argentina, Ecuador, Colombia, Uruguay, Panama, Mexico and Egypt.
Mitigationmeasures Foreign Exchange transaction riskThe Group's strategy aims to minimise the impact of exchange rate fluctuations on the income statement by hedging significant net positions denominated in currencies other thanthe reporting currency of the individual entities.With regard to operating transactions, including those arising from the Parent Company's Global Procurement activities, the provision of intercompany services and cash poolingarrangements, risk mitigation is primarily achieved through natural hedging by balancing receivable and payable positions at entity level and by using foreign currency bank deposits tocover any net exposure. Where material unbalanced exposures arise between assets and liabilities and cannot be managed through foreign currency deposits, they are appropriatelyhedged using suitable financial instruments. Such instruments include, for example, forward currency purchases and sales.With regard to exposures arising from financial transactions, foreign exchange risk is managed through the use of specific derivative financial instruments.Risks arising from net positions with a unit value of less than €1 million (or the equivalent if denominated in another currency) are considered not significant and are therefore nothedged.Foreign exchange translation riskWith reference to foreign exchange translation risk, in accordance with the provisions of the Group Treasury Policy, no hedging transactions have been entered into.Overall, the effects of foreign exchange translation risk resulted in a reduction of the Group's EBITDA of approximately €13 million compared to total Group EBITDA. Of this amount,approximately €2 million is attributable to the impact of the Argentine subsidiary. The latter operates in a high-inflation environment; however, its size is immaterial compared to theoverall size of the Group.

Interest rate risk comprises the following categories:
-fair value risk, i.e. the risk that the value of a fixed-rate financial asset or liability may vary as a result of changes in market interest rates;-cash flow risk, i.e. the risk that the future cash flows of a variable-rate financial asset or liability may fluctuate as a result of changes in market interest rates.
Details Within the Amplifon Group, fair value risk arises from fixed-rate borrowings, specifically: the issuance of bonds (Eurobond) for €350 million; the portion disbursed as at 31 December
2025, amounting to €195 million, of the loan granted by the European Investment Bank (EIB); and the €100 million tranche disbursed by Cassa Depositi e Prestiti under the loan
agreement entered into in a pool with CDP and UniCredit.Cash flow risk arises from the utilisation of floating rate bank loans, which amount in aggregate to €220 million.
The Group's strategy is aimed at minimising cash flow risk, particularly in relation to long-term exposures, through a balanced allocation between fixed-rate and variable-rate borrowings.
Both at the time individual loans are entered into and throughout their life, and also taking into account prevailing market interest rate levels, the Group assesses whether to convert debt
from floating rate to fixed rate. In any case, at least 50% of total debt must be protected against interest rate fluctuations. As at 31 December 2025, the Group's total short and medium tolong-term bank borrowings amounted to €1,354 million, of which €969 million were either at fixed rate or had been converted to fixed rate through Interest Rate Swaps.
Hedging instruments are used by the Group exclusively to mitigate interest rate and foreign exchange risks, in line with the corporate strategy, and consist solely of derivative financial
instruments. To maximise the economic effectiveness of hedging, the Group's strategy provides that:-counterparties must be large institutions with high credit standing, and transactions must be executed within the limits defined by the Treasury Policy, in order to minimise counterparty CONSOLIDATED
risk;
-the instruments entered into must, as far as possible, have characteristics that mirror those of the hedged item;-the performance of the instruments used is regularly monitored, also to verify and, where appropriate, optimise the adequacy of the hedging structure in achieving hedging objectives.
The Group Treasury Policy also defines strict counterparty selection criteria.
Derivatives used by the Group are generally non-structured financial instruments (so-called plain vanilla). The types of derivatives outstanding during the year include: CONSOLIDATED SUSTAINABILITY
-interest rate swaps;-foreign exchange forward;
-cross currency swaps (it should be noted that no Group company currently has borrowings denominated in a currency other than its functional currency; therefore, this instrument is not currently
INTEREST RATE RISK used).
Upon initial recognition, such instruments are measured at fair value. At subsequent reporting dates, the fair value of derivatives is remeasured and:
Mitigationmeasures (i) if such instruments do not meet the requirements for hedge accounting, changes in fair value arising after initial recognition are recognised in the income statement;(ii) if such instruments qualify as fair value hedges, from that date changes in the fair value of the derivative are recognised in the income statement; at the same time, changes in fairvalue attributable to the hedged risk are recognised as an adjustment to the carrying amount of the hedged item, with a corresponding entry in the income statement. Any hedge
ineffectiveness is recognised in the income statement;(iii) if such instruments qualify as cash flow hedges, from that date changes in the fair value of the derivative are recognised in equity. Changes in the fair value of the derivative recognised
in equity are reclassified to the income statement in the period in which the hedged transaction affects the income statement.
Where the hedged item is the purchase of a non-financial asset, changes in the fair value of the derivative recognised in equity are reclassified as an adjustment to the acquisition cost ofthe hedged asset (so-called basis adjustment). Any hedge ineffectiveness is recognised in the income statement.
The hedging strategy defined by the Group is reflected in the accounting treatment described above from the moment the following conditions are met:
-the hedging relationship, its objectives and the overall strategy pursued are formally defined and documented. The documentation includes identification of the hedging instrument, REPORT
the hedged item, the nature of the risk being hedged and how the entity will assess hedge effectiveness;
-hedge effectiveness can be reliably measured and there is reasonable expectation, supported by ex post evidence, that the hedge will be highly effective throughout the period duringwhich the hedged risk is present;
-in the case of hedging the risk of variability in cash flows related to a forecast transaction, the transaction is highly probable and presents an exposure to variability in cash flows thatcould affect the income statement.
Derivatives are recognised as assets when their fair value is positive and as liabilities when their fair value is negative. Such balances are presented as current assets or current liabilities
if they relate to derivatives that do not meet hedge accounting requirements. If, on the other hand, they meet hedge accounting requirements, they are classified consistently with thehedged item.
Specifically, if the hedged item is classified as current, the positive or negative fair value of the hedging instrument is presented within current assets or current liabilities; if the hedged itemis classified as non-current, the positive or negative fair value of the hedging instrument is presented within non-current assets or non-current liabilities.
AMPLIFON
It should also be noted that the Group does not have any hedges designated as a hedge of a net investment.

Credit risk represents the possibility that the issuer of a financial instrument defaults on its obligations, thereby causing a financial loss to the holder.
Details Within the Amplifon Group, credit risk arises from the following situations:(i)sales carried out in the ordinary course of business, where customers may fail to meet their payment obligations;(ii)the use of financial instruments involving the settlement of positions with counterparties, with the possibility that such counterparties may default on their obligations;(iii) loans granted to members of the indirect channel and commercial partners in the United States, aimed at supporting investment initiatives and business development, with therisk that such loans may not be repaid.
CREDIT RISK Mitigationmeasures With regard to the risk referred to under point (i) it should be noted that the only individually significant exposures relate to receivables from public healthcare and welfare entities, aswell as insurance companies, whose insolvency risk, although existing, is considered remote and is further mitigated by the fact that such receivables are assigned on a non-recoursebasis on a quarterly basis to specialised financial institutions. Conversely, credit risk arises from sales to private customers to whom instalment payment terms have been granted. Thisrisk is mitigated by the fact that such receivables are distributed across a large number of customers, with maximum individual amounts of only a few thousand Euro each. There is alsocredit risk relating to sales made in the United States to operators in the indirect channel (franchisees), which are fragmented across numerous partners whose maximum individualexposure is limited and, even for the largest among them, never exceeds a few million US dollars. Due to the typical risks associated with the business, some counterparties may failto honour their obligations, resulting in a potential increase in working capital and in bad debt losses. Although credit management remains the direct responsibility of individualsubsidiaries, the Group, through its Corporate functions, has implemented a monthly reporting system on trade receivables, monitoring their composition and ageing at country level,and sharing with local management both recovery initiatives and commercial policies. In particular, with regard to private customers – for whom the vast majority of sales are made onimmediate payment terms – instalment sales or financing arrangements exceeding a few months are managed by external financial institutions that advance the full sales amount toAmplifon. As regards operators in the indirect channel in the United States, the situation is closely monitored by local management.The risk referred to under point (ii), notwithstanding the inherent uncertainty linked to potential sudden and unexpected counterparty defaults, is managed through diversificationamong leading national and international investment grade financial institutions. Such diversification is ensured through the establishment of specific counterparty limits, both withrespect to invested and/or deposited liquidity and with respect to the notional amount of derivative contracts. Counterparty limits are determined based on the short-term creditrating of the individual counterparty or, in the absence of a public rating, on the counterparty's capital adequacy ratio (Tier 1).The risk referred to under point (iii) relates to receivables generally supported by personal guarantees provided by the beneficiaries. Repayment is typically made concurrently withpayment of invoices relating to hearing aids sold to them, or settled upon the eventual acquisition by the Group of the franchisee's business.
PRICE RISK Details Price risk represents the possibility that the value of a financial asset or liability may fluctuate as a result of changes in market prices (other than those relating to foreign exchangerates and interest rates). Such fluctuations may be caused by:-specific factors relating to the financial asset or liability, or to the issuer of the financial liability;-market-wide factors independent of the specific asset or liability.This risk is typical of financial assets not quoted in an active market, which may not always be realised in the short term at amounts close to their fair value.

measures The Amplifon Group does not hold investments in such instruments and therefore this risk is not currently present.

Mitigation

Details Liquidity risk typically refers to the possibility that an entity may encounter difficulties in obtaining sufficient funds to meet its obligations. This risk includes the possibility thatcounterparties that have granted short-term uncommitted credit lines and/or financing facilities may request repayment, as well as the difficulty of refinancing long-term loanswhich have reached maturity.
LIQUIDITY RISK Mitigationmeasures The Group's strategy is to maintain relationships with a large number of financial institutions and to continuously establish new ones, thereby ensuring broad diversification ofcredit facilities and, above all, a wide availability of funding sources. At the end of FY 2025, the Group's financial position showed total gross debt of €1,354 million, of which 73%matures beyond 12 months. Cash and cash equivalents amounted to €309 million; available and undrawn committed credit lines totalled €480 million; the unutilized portion ofthe loan signed with the European Investment Bank amounted to €150 million; and other available and unutilized uncommitted credit lines totalled €262 million. Based on theseelements, liquidity risk is considered not significant for the Group.

45. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

45.1 PRESENTATION OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The consolidated financial statements as at December 31, 2025 were prepared in accordance with the historical cost method with the exception of derivatives, a few financial investments measured at fair value and assets and liabilities hedged against changes in fair value, as explained in more detail in this report, as well as on a going concern basis.

With regard to the financial statements, the following is specified:

  • in the statement of financial position, the Group distinguishes between non-current and current assets and liabilities;
  • in the income statement, the Group classifies costs by nature insofar as this is deemed to more accurately represent the primarily commercial and distribution activities carried out by the Group;
  • comprehensive income statement: in addition to the net result for the year, it includes the effects of changes in exchange rates, the cash flow hedge reserve, the foreign currency basis spread reserve on derivative instruments and the actuarial gains and losses that have been recognized directly in changes in shareholders' equity, these items are divided according to whether or not they can be subsequently reclassified to the income statement;
  • statement of changes in net equity: the Group reports all the changes in net equity, including those deriving from shareholder transactions (payment of dividends and capital increases);
  • statement of cash flows: is prepared using the indirect method to determine cash flow from operations.

45.2 USE OF ESTIMATES IN PREPARING THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The preparation of the financial statements and explanatory notes requires the use of estimates and assumptions particularly with regard to the following items:

revenues for services rendered over time recognized based on the effort or the input expended to satisfy the performance obligation;

  • allowances for impairment made based on the asset's estimated realizable value;
  • provisions for risks and charges (including provisions for restoration funds) made based on a reasonable estimate of the amount of the potential liability, including with regard to any counterparty claims;
  • provisions for obsolete inventories in order to align the carrying value of inventories with the estimated realizable value;
  • provisions for employee benefits, calculated based on actuarial valuations;
  • amortization and depreciation of intangible assets and tangible fixed assets recognized based on the estimated remaining useful life and the recoverable amount;
  • income tax recognized based on the best estimate of the tax rate for the full year;
  • IRS and currency swaps (instruments not traded on regulated markets), marked to market at the reporting date based on the yield curve and market exchange rates, which are subject to credit/debit valuation adjustments based on market prices;
  • the lease term duration was determined on a lease-by-lease basis and is comprised of the "non-cancellable" period along with the impact of any extension or early termination clauses if exercise of that clause is reasonably certain. This property valuation took into account circumstances and facts specific to each asset;
  • discount rate of leases falling within the scope of IFRS 16 (incremental borrowing rate) determined based on the IRS (reference interbank rate used as an index for fixed-rate mortgage loans) in the individual countries in which Amplifon Group companies operate, for maturities commensurate with the duration of the specific rental contract, plus the Parent Company's credit spread and any costs for additional guarantees. In the rare instances when the IRS rate is not available (Egypt, Ecuador, Mexico and Panama), the risk-free rate was determined based on government bonds with maturities similar to the duration of the specific rental contract.

Estimates and assumptions are periodically reviewed, and any changes made, following the change of the circumstances or the availability of better information, are recognized in the income statement. The use of reasonable estimates is essential to the preparation of the financial statements and does not affect their overall reliability.

The Group verifies the existence of a loss in value of goodwill regularly once a year or in the event of impairment indicators.

The impairment test is conducted for the groups of cash generating units to which the goodwill refers and based on which the Group values, directly or indirectly, the return on the investment that includes the goodwill.

IFRS STANDARDS/INTERPRETATIONS APPROVED BY IASB, BUT NOT ENDORSED IN EUROPE

The following are the international accounting standards, interpretations, amendments to existing accounting standards and interpretations, or specific provisions contained in the standards and interpretations approved by the IASB which, at 31 December 2025, have yet to be endorsed for adoption in Europe.

Description Effective date
IFRS 19 Subsidiaries without Public Accountability (issuedon 9 May 2024) Periods beginning on or after 1 Jan '27
Amendments to IFRS 19 Subsidiaries without PublicAccountability: Disclosures (issued on 21 August 2025) Periods beginning on or after 1 Jan '27
Amendments to IAS 21 "The Effects of Changes in ForeignExchange Rates: Translation to a HyperinflationaryPresentation Currency" (issued on 13 November 2025) Periods beginning on or after 1 Jan '27

IFRS 19 "Subsidiaries without Public Accountability" introduces reduced disclosure requirements for the financial statements of subsidiaries that are not required to present publicly available IFRS financial statements. The amendment issued on 21 August supplements the standard based on regulatory developments endorsed after its initial publication.

The amendments to IAS 21 "The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates: Translation to a Hyperinflationary Presentation Currency" define a specific method for translating into a hyperinflationary presentation currency the financial statements of entities whose functional currency is not hyperinflationary.

45.5 SUBSIDIARIES

The consolidation area includes companies which are controlled by the Group. Control is defined as the power to influence the financial and operating policies of a company. The existence of control over a company is determined on the basis of: (i) voting rights, including potential ones, that the Group is entitled to and by virtue of which the Group may exercise a majority of the votes that can be cast at ordinary Shareholders' meetings; (ii) the content of possible agreements between shareholders or the existence of specific clauses in the entity's by-laws which grant the Group the power to manage the company; (iii) control by the Group of a sufficient number of votes to exercise de facto control at ordinary Shareholders' meetings of the company.

Income statement items are included in the consolidated financial statements starting from the date control is acquired and up to the date such control ceases. All payables and receivables, as well as the revenue and expense items deriving from transactions between companies included in the consolidation are eliminated entirely; capital gains and losses deriving from transfers of assets between consolidated companies are also eliminated, as are the profits and losses arising from transfers of assets between consolidated companies that come to form inventories of the acquiring company, write-downs and reversals of holdings in consolidated companies, and intragroup dividends. Assets, liabilities, costs and revenues of subsidiaries are recorded in full, allocating to minority shareholders their share of net equity and of the net result.

The financial statements of subsidiaries are adjusted in order to make the measurement criteria consistent with those adopted by the Group.

The closing dates of subsidiaries are aligned with that of the parent company; where this is not the case, the subsidiaries prepare appropriate financial statements for consolidation purposes.

45.6 JOINTLY CONTROLLED COMPANIES

A joint control arrangement is an agreement based on which two or more parties have joint control. Joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of control of an arrangement which exists only when decisions about the relevant activities require the unanimous consent of the parties sharing control.

There are two types of joint control arrangements: joint operations and joint ventures.

A joint operation is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the assets, and obligations for the liabilities, relating to the arrangement. These parties are referred to as joint operators. With reference to investment in a joint operation, each part has to relocate:

  • a) Own assets, included share of jointly owned assets;
  • b) Own liabilities, included share of jointly owned liabilities;
  • c) Revenues from sales of own production share arises from joint operation activity;
  • d) Share of revenues from the production sale deriving from the jointly controlled activity;
  • e) Own costs, included parts of costs sustained with the other part.

A joint venture is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the net assets of the arrangement.

In consolidated financial statements investment in joint venture are valuated with equity method, accounted in income statement net profit and loss attributable to the group occurred in the period.

With equity method, investment carry amount represents assets and liabilities fair value of jointed at acquisition moment, as well goodwill arises at acquisition moment.

45.7. ASSOCIATED COMPANIES

Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method. A company is considered an associate if the Group participates in decisions relating to the company's operating and financial policies even if the latter is not a subsidiary nor subject to joint control. Under the equity method, on initial recognition, an investment in an associate is recognized at cost in the statement of financial position and the carrying amount is increased or decreased to recognize the investor's share of the profit or loss of the investee after the date of acquisition. The goodwill relating to the associate is included in the carrying amount and is not subject to amortization. The profits generated as a result of transactions carried out by the Group with associates are eliminated to the extent of the Group's interest in the associate. The financial statements of companies accounted for based on the equity method are adjusted to be in line with the Group's accounting policies.

45.8 BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

Business combinations are accounted for in the financial statements as follows:

  • acquisition cost is determined on the basis of the fair value of assets transferred, liabilities assumed, or the shares transferred to the seller in order to obtain control;

  • the determination of the values of the assets and liabilities of the acquiree is made provisionally until the activities of determining the fair value of the assets and liabilities are completed. The completion of these activities must in any case take place within 12 months of the acquisition, where the latter are counted from the date on which the acquisition took place and accounted for the first time. If, in the period in which the allocation is made provisionally, different values should emerge from those initially recorded following new information on facts and circumstances that in any case existed at the acquisition date, the recognized values are adjusted retrospectively;

  • acquisition- costs related to business combinations are recognized in the income statement for the period in which the costs were incurred;

  • the fair value of the shares transferred is determined according to the market price at the exchange date;

  • where the agreement with the seller provides for a price adjustment linked to the profitability of the business acquired, over a defined timeframe or at a preestablished future date (earn-out), the adjustment is included in the acquisition price as of the acquisition date and is measured at fair value as at the date of acquisition;

  • at the acquisition date, the assets and liabilities, including contingent ones, of the acquired company are recognized at their fair value at that date. When determining the value of these assets we also consider the potential tax benefits applicable to the jurisdiction of the acquired company;

  • when the carrying amounts of assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities recorded differ from their corresponding tax base at the acquisition date, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized;

  • any difference between the acquisition cost of the investment and the corresponding share of the net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill, if positive, or it is charged to the income statement, if negative;

  • income items are included in the consolidated financial statements starting from the date control is acquired and up to the date control ceases.

45.9. FUNCTIONAL CURRENCY, PRESENTATION CURRENCY AND TRANSLATION CRITERIA APPLIED TO FOREIGN CURRENCY ITEMS

The consolidated financial statements of the Amplifon Group are presented in Euros, the functional currency of the parent company, Amplifon S.p.A.

The financial statements of subsidiaries and jointly-controlled companies are prepared in the functional currency of each company. When this currency differs from the reporting currency of the consolidated financial statements, the financial statements are translated using the current exchange rate method: income statement items are translated using the average exchange rates of the year, asset and liability items are translated using year-end rates and net equity items are translated at historical rates. Exchange differences are recorded under "translation difference" in the consolidated net equity; when the company is disposed of, the cumulative differences booked in net equity are taken to the income statement. 312 313 AMPLIFON AT A GLANCE REPORT ON OPERATIONS CONSOLIDATED SUSTAINABILITY STATEMENT CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Foreign currency transactions are recorded at the exchange rate at the transaction date. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency are translated at the exchange rate at the reporting date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency and valued at cost are reported at the exchange rate used upon initial recognition. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency and recognized at fair value, at recoverable value, or realizable value, are translated using the exchange rate of the date when the value was determined.

Any exchange rate differences arising from the settlement of monetary assets and liabilities or from the translation at exchange rates that are different from those used upon initial recognition, during the year or in previous financial statements, are recognized in the income statement.

45.10. INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Intangible assets purchased separately and those acquired through business combinations carried out prior to the adoption of the IFRS are initially measured at cost, whilst those acquired through business combinations completed after the date of transition to IFRS, are initially measured at fair value. Expenditure incurred after the initial acquisition is recorded as an increase in the cost of the intangible asset to the extent that the expenditure can generate future economic benefits.

Intangible assets having a finite useful life are amortized systematically over their useful lives and written down for impairment (see section 45.13). Amortization begins when an asset is available for use and ceases at the time of termination of the useful life or when an asset is classified as held for sale (or included in a disposal group classified as held for sale). Both the useful life and the amortization criterion are periodically reviewed and, where significant changes have occurred compared to the previously adopted assumptions, the amortization charge for the current year and subsequent ones is adjusted.

The periods of amortization are shown in the following table:

Asset Type Years
Software 5-10
Licenses 1-15
Non-competition agreements 5
Customer lists 10-15
Trademarks and concessions 3-15
Other 5-9

45.11. GOODWILL

Goodwill is recognized in the financial statements following business combinations and is initially recorded at cost, which is the excess of the cost of acquisition over the Group's share in the fair values of the assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities acquired.

Goodwill is classified as an intangible asset. As of the acquisition date, the goodwill acquired in a business combination is allocated to each of the acquirer's cashgenerating units or groups of cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from

the synergies of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the acquiree are allocated to those units or groups of units. Subsequent to initial recognition, goodwill is not amortized but valued at cost less any cumulative impairment losses (see section 45.13).

45.12. TANGIBLE FIXED ASSETS

Tangible fixed assets are recorded at purchase or production cost, inclusive of ancillary costs that are directly attributable to the assets.

The carrying amount upon initial recognition of tangible fixed assets, or their significant elements (except for land), net of their residual value, is depreciated on a straight-line basis over their useful life and is written down for impairments (see section 45.13). Depreciation starts when the asset becomes available for use and ceases at the time of termination of the useful life or when it is classified as held for sale (or included as part of a disposal group classified as held for sale). The useful life and the depreciation rate, as well as the residual value, are periodically reviewed and, where significant changes have occurred compared to the previously adopted assumptions, the depreciation charge for the current year and subsequent ones is adjusted.

Maintenance costs that do not add value to an asset are charged to the income statement in the year in which they are incurred. Maintenance costs that add value to an asset are recorded with the fixed asset item to which they relate and are depreciated on the basis of the future remaining useful life of the asset.

Leasehold improvements, such as to premises, shops and branches held under operating leases, are capitalized and depreciated over the shorter of the term of the lease and the useful life of the tangible asset installed.

The periods of depreciation are shown in the following table:

Asset Type Years
Buildings, constructions and leasehold improvements 5-25

45.13. IMPAIRMENT OF INTANGIBLE FIXED ASSETS, TANGIBLE FIXED ASSETS, INVESTMENTS IN ASSOCIATED COMPANIES AND GOODWILL

The Group checks the recoverable value of an asset whenever an impairment indicator exists and, for intangible fixed assets with an indefinite life, other tangible assets and goodwill, the assessment is carried out yearly. The recoverable amount is defined as the higher of the asset's fair value less costs to sell and its value in use.

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

Value in use is determined with reference to the present value of the estimated future cash flows that are expected to be generated by the continued use of an asset and its disposal at the end of its useful life, discounted using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the specific risks associated with the asset. Where the value in use of a specific asset cannot be determined due to the fact that the asset does not generate independent cash flows, value in use is estimated with reference to the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

With regard to goodwill, the impairment test is performed for the smallest cashgenerating unit that the goodwill relates to and which is used by the Group to evaluate, either directly or indirectly, the return on the investment which includes the goodwill itself.

Impairment losses are recognized in the income statement when the carrying value of an asset is higher than its recoverable value. Except for goodwill, for which impairment losses cannot be reversed, when there is an indication that an impairment loss is no longer justified or may have decreased, the carrying value of the asset is adjusted to its recoverable value. The increased carrying value of an asset due to an impairment reversal cannot, however, exceed the carrying value that the asset would have had (net of the write-down or depreciation) if the impairment had not been recognized in previous years. The reversal is immediately recognized in the income statement. 314 315 AMPLIFON AT A GLANCE REPORT ON OPERATIONS CONSOLIDATED SUSTAINABILITY STATEMENT CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

45.14. LEASING

When a contract is signed the Group assesses whether a contract is or contains a lease, namely if the contract conveys the right to use an asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES APPLICABLE TO THE GROUP AS A LESSEE

The Group uses a single model to recognize and measure all leases, with the exception of short-term leases and leases for low value assets. The Group recognizes the lease liabilities and the right-of-use asset, namely the right to use the lease's underlying asset.

RIGHT-OF-USE ASSETS

The Group recognizes the right-of-use assets as of the commencement date of the lease (namely the date on which use of the underlying asset is conveyed). The rightof-use assets are valued at cost, net of any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, adjusted to reflect any restated lease liabilities. The costs for the right-of-use assets include the lease liabilities recognized, the initial direct costs incurred, and the lease payments made as of the commencement date or before the commencement date net of any incentives received, as well as the estimate of the restoration costs to be incurred at the end of the lease term.

The right-of-use assets are amortized on a straight-line basis from the commencement date to the end of their useful life consistent with the right granted or, if before, the end of the lease term.

The right-of-use assets are subject to impairment testing. Please refer to section 45.13. Loss of value of non-financial assets.

LEASE LIABILITIES

At the commencement date of the lease, the Group recognizes a lease liability equal to the payments that must be made in the future under the lease. The payments owed include fixed lease payments less any lease incentives, variable lease payments linked to an index or a rate, and the guaranteed residual amount due. The lease

payments also include the exercise price of a purchase price if it is reasonably certain that the option will be exercised by the Group and any penalties for terminating the lease contemplated in the lease if the duration of the lease takes into account the exercise by the Group of the option to terminate the lease itself.

Variable lease payments that are not linked to an index or a rate are recognized as a cost in the period in which the event or the condition triggering the payment occurred.

When calculating the present value of payments owed, the Group uses the marginal borrowing rate at the commencement date if the implied borrowing rate is not easily determined. After the commencement date the amount of the lease liabilities will be increased in order to reflect interest owed and decreased to reflect payments made. The book value of the lease liabilities will also be restated if any changes are made to the lease terms or payment terms; it will also be restated if the value of the purchase option on the underlying asset is changed or if any changes in the index or rate used to determine future payments occur.

SHORT-TERM LEASES AND LOW VALUE ASSETS

The Group applies the exemption relative to leases for low value assets like, for example PCs, printers, electronic equipment and short-term leases, namely leases with a term of less than 12 months without purchase options, with the exception of the assets classed as "stores". The rent payable under short-term leases and leases for low value assets are recognized as costs on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

THE GROUP AS LESSOR

Leases which leave all the risks and benefits associated with ownership of the asset are classified as operating leases. Lease income stemming for the operating lease must be recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and recognized as revenue in the income statement. The initial negotiation costs are added to the book value of the leased asset and are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Unplanned leases are recognized as revenue in the period in which they mature.

SUBLEASE

The Group, as an intermediate lessor in a subleasing contract, classifies a sublease as a finance or operating lease as follows:

  • a) If the head lease is accounted for as a short-term lease, for which the Group has made use of the practical expedient, the sublease is classified as an operating lease;
  • b) otherwise, the sublease is classified by reference to the right-of-use asset arising from the head lease, rather than by reference to the underlying asset (for example, property unit, leased plants or machinery).

More in detail, if the sub-lease is classified as an operating lease, the head lessor continues to recognize the lease liabilities and the right-of-use assets in the head lease like any other lease.

If the net book value of the right-of-use asset in the head lease exceeds the income expected from the sub-lease, this might indicate that there has been a loss in the value of the right-to-use asset in the head lease. The loss in value of a right-of-use asset is measured in accordance with IAS 36.

If the sub-lease is classified as a finance lease, the head lessor eliminates the rightof-use asset from the head lease as of the commencement date of the sub-lease and continues to recognize the original lease liability as per the lessee's accounting model.

45.15. FINANCIAL ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

45.15.1 FINANCIAL ASSETS (EXCLUDING DERIVATIVES)

The Group's financial assets are classified based on the business model used to manage them and the nature of the relative cash flows.

a) Financial assets valued at amortized cost

Financial assets that meet the following requirements are classified in this category:

  • i) assets held as part of a business model where the objective of the entity's business model is collecting contractual cash flows; and
  • ii) the cash flows contemplated under the contract refer solely to payments of the principal and interest on the amount of the principal to be repaid.

These are mainly trade receivables, loans and other receivables.

The trade receivables without a significant financing component are recognized at the price of the relative transaction (determined in accordance with IFRS 15 Revenue from contracts with customers).

The other receivables and loans are recognized in the financial statements at fair value plus any ancillary costs attributable directly to the transactions that generated them.

After initial recognition, the effective interest rate applied to financial assets measured at amortized cost, with the exception of receivables without a significant financing component, is used to determine interest income which is recognized in profit or loss. The effects of this measure are recognized among the financial components of income.

With reference to the impairment model, the Group evaluates the receivables by adopting an expected loss logic.

The Group used a simplified approach to measure trade receivables which does not call for periodic adjustments of the credit risk nor of the expected credit loss ("ECL") calculated over the life of the receivable ("lifetime ECL").

More in detail, the policy implemented by the Group calls for the stratification of trade receivables broken down into similar risk categories. Different percentages of impairment are applied to these categories based on the expected level of recoverability which refer to historical percentages and any forward-looking elements that could affect recoverability. The trade receivables are written off entirely if there is not a reasonable expectation of recoverability (i.e. past due above a certain level, bankruptcy and/or legal proceedings). 316 317 AMPLIFON AT A GLANCE REPORT ON OPERATIONS CONSOLIDATED SUSTAINABILITY STATEMENT CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The Group uses a general approach for the measurement of the long-term financial receivables relating to the loans granted by American subsidiaries to franchisees and members of the Elite network in order support investment and development in the United States which requires the checking of any increase in the credit risk at the end of each reporting period.

Impairment recognized pursuant to IFRS 9 is presented in the income statement, net of any positive effects stemming from releases or reversals, as operating costs.

b) Financial assets at fair value recognized through the comprehensive income statement ("FVOCI")

Financial assets that meet the following requirements are classified in this category: assets held as part of a business model where the objective of the entity's business model is collecting contractual cash flows and selling the assets and the cash flows contemplated under the contract refer solely to payments of principal and interest on the amount of principal to be repaid.

These include trade receivables that the Group sometimes used in factoring without recourse transactions.

These assets are initially recognized in the financial statements at their fair value plus any ancillary costs directly attributable to the transactions generating them. After initial recognition, the measurement is updated and any changes in fair value are recognized in the comprehensive income statement.

The impairment model used is described in a) above.

c) Financial assets at fair value recognized through the consolidated income statement ("FVPL")

Financial assets which are not classified in the other categories (i.e. residual category). These are mainly derivatives.

Assets belonging to this category are initially recognized at fair value.

The ancillary costs incurred when the asset is recognized are immediately recognized in the consolidated income statement. After initial recognition, the FVPL are measured at fair value.

The gains and losses stemming from changes in fair value are recognized in the consolidated income statement for the reporting period under "Gains (losses) from assets measured at fair value".

The purchases and disposals of financial assets are accounted for on the settlement date.

Financial assets are derecognized from the financial statements when the related contractual rights expire, or when the Group transfers all the risks and rewards of ownership associated with the financial asset.

45.15.2. FINANCIAL LIABILITIES (EXCLUDING DERIVATIVES)

Financial liabilities include financial payables, lease obligations and trade payables. Amounts Financial liabilities include financial payables, lease obligations and trade payables. Amounts payable to banks and other lenders are initially recognized at fair value less any directly attributable transaction costs and subsequently valued at amortized cost based on the effective interest rate. If there is a change in the forecast cash flow the value of the liabilities is recalculated in order to reflect this change based on the present value of the new future cash flows and the internal rate of return initially determined.

Whenever legal rights to compensation arise, the Group decides whether or not to show cash and cash equivalents net of bank overdrafts.

Trade payables are obligations to pay for goods and services acquired from suppliers as part of general business operations. The amounts owed suppliers are classified as current liabilities if the payment will be made within a year of the relative reporting period. Conversely, these payables are classified as non-current liabilities.

The trade and other payables are initially measured at fair value and subsequently using the amortized cost method.

When a financial liability is hedged against interest rate risk in a fair value hedge, any changes in fair value due to the hedged risk are not included in the amortized cost calculation. These changes are amortized starting from the moment fair value hedge accounting is discontinued.

Payables relating to the purchase consideration of tax credits arising from Superbonus discounts are recognised when the tax credits are made available in the tax account and are measured at amortised cost.

With regard to lease liabilities, please refer to section 45.14. Leasing.

Financial liabilities are derecognized when the underlying obligation is extinguished, cancelled or fulfilled.

Contractual amendments relating to financial liabilities are assessed from a qualitative and quantitative point of view (using the 10% test) to determine whether they are of a substantial nature and therefore require a derecognition of the original debt In the event of non-substantial amendments, the Group recognizes the impact of those changes in the income statement.

In the case of put and call granted to minority shareholders and which guarantee them the settlement in cash in exchange for available liquidity or other financial assets, the Group, in accordance with IAS 32, records a financial liability equal to the best estimate of the exercise price of the option. This liability is subsequently remeasured at each closing date. Based on the Group's accounting policy any change in the value of the liability is recognized in net equity.

45.15.3. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Group enters into derivative financial instruments for the purpose of neutralizing the financial risks it is exposed to and which it decides to hedge in accordance with its adopted strategy (see note 42).

The documentation which formalizes the hedging relationship for the purpose of the application of hedge accounting includes the identification of:

  • the hedging instrument;
  • the hedged item or transaction;
  • the nature of the risk;
  • the methods that the company intends to adopt to assess the effectiveness of the hedge in offsetting the exposure to changes in the fair value of the hedged item or the cash flows associated with the risk that is hedged against.

On initial recognition these instruments are measured at fair value. On subsequent reporting dates the fair value of derivatives must be re-measured and:

  • i) if these instruments fail to qualify for hedge accounting, any changes in fair value that occur after initial recognition are taken to profit and loss;
  • ii) if these instruments qualify as fair value hedges, from that date any changes in the fair value of the derivative are taken to profit and loss; at the same time, any fair value changes due to the hedged risk are recorded as an adjustment to the book value of the hedged item and the same amount is recorded in the income statement; any ineffectiveness of the hedge is recognized in profit and loss in an item separate from that in which changes in the fair value of the hedging instrument and the hedged item are recognized;
  • iii) if these instruments qualify as cash flow hedges, starting from that date, any changes in the fair value of the derivative are recognized in net equity, but only to the extent of the effective amount of the hedge, with the amount of any hedge ineffectiveness being recognized in the income statement; changes in the fair value of the derivative that are recognized in net equity are subsequently transferred to the income statement in the period in which the transaction that is hedged against affects the income statement; when the hedged item is the purchase of a non-financial asset, changes to the fair value of the derivative taken to equity are reclassified and adjusted according to the purchase cost of the asset which is the hedged item (referred to as basis adjustment);
  • iv) if these instruments qualify as hedges of net investment of a foreign operation, starting from that date any changes in the fair value of the derivative are adjusted as part of the "translation difference", to the extent of the effective amount of the hedge and the ineffective portion is charged to the income statement;
  • v) hedging is carried out by the designated instrument, considered as a whole. In the case of options or forward contracts, however, only part of the derivative instrument is designated as the hedging instrument; the remainder is recognized in the income statement. More specifically, in the case of options, only the

318 AMPLIFON AT A GLANCE REPORT ON OPERATIONS CONSOLIDATED SUSTAINABILITY STATEMENT CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

changes in fair value due to changes in the intrinsic value are designated as a hedging instrument; conversely, fair value changes of options due to changes in the time value are recognized in the income statement and are not considered in the assessment of the hedge effectiveness. In the case of forward contracts, only changes in fair value due to changes in the spot rate are designated as a hedging instrument; conversely fair value changes due to changes in the forward points are recognized in the income statement and are not considered in the assessment of the hedge effectiveness.

If the hedge becomes ineffective or the Group changes its hedging strategies, hedge accounting is discontinued. In particular, hedge accounting is discontinued prospectively when the hedge becomes ineffective or when there is a change in the hedging strategies.

If, in a fair value hedge, the hedged item is a financial instrument measured using the effective interest rate method, the adjustments made to the book value of the hedged item are amortized starting from the date when fair value hedge accounting is discontinued and the hedged item is no longer adjusted for fair value changes attributable to the hedged risk. 318 319 AMPLIFON AT A GLANCE REPORT ON OPERATIONS CONSOLIDATED SUSTAINABILITY STATEMENT CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Financial instruments hedging exchange rate risk due to forecasted transactions and firm commitments are represented on the statement of financial position according to the cash-flow hedge accounting model.

Derivatives are recognized as assets if their fair value is positive and as liabilities if their fair value is negative. These balances are shown under current assets or liabilities if related to derivatives which do not qualify for hedge accounting criteria, conversely, they are classified according to the hedged item.

In particular, if the hedged item is classified as a current asset or liability, the positive or negative fair value of the hedging instrument is included under current assets or liabilities; if the hedged item is classified as a non-current asset or liability, the positive or negative fair value of the hedging instrument is included under noncurrent assets or liabilities.

45.16. INVENTORIES

Inventories are valued at the lower of purchase or production cost and their net realizable value, represented by their open market value. Inventories are valued using the weighted average cost method.

45.17. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS AND FINANCIAL ASSETS

The item cash and cash equivalents comprise liquid funds and financial investments with a maturity, at the acquisition date, of less than three months and for which there is an insignificant risk of a change in value. These financial assets are recorded at their nominal value.

45.18. PROVISIONS FOR RISKS AND CHARGES

Provisions for risks and charges relate to costs and charges of a specific nature which are certain or probable and whose amount or timing is uncertain at the reporting date.

Provisions are recognized if the following conditions apply: (i) the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) that has arisen as a result of a past event; (ii) it is probable that the fulfilment of the obligation will require the use of resources which produce economic benefits; (iii) the amount can be estimated reliably.

The amount recognized as a provision in the financial statements represents the best estimate of the expenditure required by the company to settle the obligation at the reporting date or to transfer it to a third party.

When the financial effect of time is significant and the settlement dates of the obligations can be reliably estimated, the provision is discounted; when the provision is discounted, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised in the income statement as a finance cost.

Specifically:

  • the agents' leaving indemnity includes the estimate of amounts due to agents, calculated using actuarial methods and having regard to the probability that such amounts will be paid, as well as the expectations as to the time of payment;
  • the warranty and repair provision includes the estimate of costs for warranty services to be provided on products sold, calculated on the basis of historical/ statistical data and the warranty period;
  • the provision for risks arising from legal disputes includes the estimate of charges relating to legal disputes with employees or agents or associated with the provision of services.
  • The dismantling and restoration provision includes the estimate of the costs to be incurred to restore the leased premises, at the end of the lease term, to the condition required by the lease agreement.

45.19. EMPLOYEES' BENEFITS

Which due to their characteristics can be classified as either defined-contribution or defined-benefit plans.

Under a defined-contribution plan the company's obligation is limited to the payment of the contributions agreed with the employees and it is determined on the basis of the contributions due at the end of the period, as reduced by any amounts already paid.

Under defined-benefit plans the liability recorded in the books is equal to: (a) the present value of the defined-benefit obligation at the reporting date; (b) plus any actuarial gains (minus any actuarial losses); (c) less any past service costs that have not yet been recorded; (d) less the fair value at the reporting date of plan assets (if any) out of which the obligations are to be settled directly.

Under defined-benefit plans, the cost charged to the income statement is equal to the algebraic sum of the following elements: (a) current service cost; (b) the financial charges arising from the increase in liability due to the passage of time; (c) the expected return on plan assets; (d) past service cost; (e) the effect of any curtailments or settlements under the plan.

Actuarial gains and losses are recognized in other comprehensive income.

Net financial charges on defined-benefit plans are recognized in profit or loss under financial income and charges.

45.20. STOCK GRANT

The Group grants the right to participate in share capital plans (stock grants) to certain top executives and other beneficiaries who hold key positions within the Group. Stock grants are equity settled, and the beneficiary receives a free allotment of shares in Amplifon S.p.A. at the end of the vesting period.

The relative fair value is recognized in the income statement under personnel expenses over the period from the date they are granted to the vesting date and a corresponding amount is recorded in a net equity reserve. The fair value of stock grants is determined at the date they are granted, taking account of the market conditions at that date.

At each reporting date, the Group reviews the assumptions about the number of rights which are expected to be exercised and records the effect of any change in estimate in the income statement adjusting the corresponding net equity reserve.

In case of free stock allotment (i.e. "stock grant"), the corresponding increase in net equity is recognized at the end of the vesting period.

45.21. REVENUES

REVENUES FROM CONTRACTS WITH CLIENTS

The revenues from contracts with customers are recognized in accordance with IFRS 15.

Based on the five-step model introduced in IFRS 15, the Group records revenue after having identified the contracts with its customer and the relative performance obligations (transfer of control of goods and/or services), determined the consideration to which it is entitled upon satisfaction of each of the obligations, as well as the way these obligations will be satisfied (at a point in time or over time).

The Group will recognize revenue once the criteria for the identification of the contract with the customer are satisfied, the parties are involved in fulfilling the respective obligations and it is probable that the Group will receive the consideration to which it is entitled in exchange for the goods and services transferred to the customer.

The main performance obligations identified by the Amplifon Group involve: the hearing aid and fitting, which represent a single inseparable performance obligation, after sales care, extended warranties which are above and beyond normal supplier warranties, the material rights (discounts on future purchases and loyalty points) and accessories (batteries, cleaning kits) provided to the customer.

The goods and services may be sold separately or bundled.

The transaction price, which represents the amount the entity expects to receive from the customer for the goods and services provided, is allocated based on the stand-alone selling prices of the relative performance obligations.

The stand-alone selling price is determined based on observable prices when available, while for goods and services not sold separately (for example after sales services) and when observable market prices are not available the cost plus a margin method is used.

Any commercial discounts are allocated to the different performance obligations that make up the bundle sold to the customer, with the exception of after sales services in proportion to the weight of the relative stand-alone selling price.

Revenues are recognized when control of the goods and services has been transferred to the customer and performance obligations have been satisfied. This can happen at a point in time or over time.

Revenues realized over time, represented typically by after sales services, extended warranties, and accessories supplied over time, are recognized based on the level to which the different contractual performance obligations have been satisfied. More in detail, transfer over time is measured based on the input method, namely taking into account the work done (inputs) by the Group to fulfill each performance obligation. The up-front fee paid by franchisees is considered a revenue stream generated over time and is recognized over the life of the franchising agreement.

Revenues realized at a point in time refer to the transfer of goods and services that the customer receives and consumes at the same time.

These are generally attributable to the sale of hearing aids and relative fitting, accessories and a few services that are sold separately. In these situations, revenue is recorded when control of the good of service is transferred to the customer.

The performance obligation to transfer control of the goods and services over time is recognized under "Contractual liabilities".

The Group incurs costs to acquire and fulfill contracts over time. These costs, which typically include commissions and bonuses paid to employees and agents for each sale made that will be recovered through the revenues generated by the contract, are capitalized as contract costs and amortized based on the progress made in transferring the goods and services to the customer over time.

The contract costs are recognized as assets in a specific line of the financial statement (Short-term and long-term deferred assets arising from contract costs).

PUBLIC CONTRIBUTIONS

Public contributions received are presented as a reduction of the reference cost item or are shown among other revenues/income when not directly attributable to a specific cost item, taking into account the nature of the contribution itself.

45.22. DIVIDENDS

The dividends are recognized as profit (loss) for the year only when:

  • a) the entity's right to receive a dividend arises;
  • b) it's likely that the economic benefits stemming from the dividend will flow to the entity; and
  • c) the amount of the dividend can be reliably measured.

45.23. CURRENT AND DEFERRED TAXES

Current income tax payables and receivables are recorded at the amount that is expected to be paid to/received from the tax authorities at the rates enacted or substantially enacted, and the laws in force at the reporting date.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized on temporary differences between the value of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases.

Deferred income taxes are not recognized: (i) when they derive from the initial recognition of goodwill or of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination and which, at the time of the transaction, does not affect either the accounting profit or the taxable profit /loss; (ii) when they relate to temporary differences related to investments in subsidiaries and joint ventures, where the reversal of temporary differences may be controlled and it is probable that it will not occur in the foreseeable future.

Deferred tax assets, including those arising from unused tax losses and tax credits, are recorded only to the extent their recovery is highly probable.

Deferred tax assets are not discounted to present value and are calculated using the tax rates that are expected to apply when the taxes are paid or settled in the respective countries where the Group operates.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are debited or credited directly to net equity if they relate to elements which are recognized directly in net equity. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded respectively under non-current assets and liabilities and are offset only when a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities exists and this will result in a lower tax charge. Moreover, when there is a legally enforceable right of set-off, deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset only if at the time of their reversal they will not generate any current tax asset or liability. 320 321 AMPLIFON AT A GLANCE REPORT ON OPERATIONS CONSOLIDATED SUSTAINABILITY STATEMENT CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

When an asset is revalued for tax purposes and the revaluation does not relate to an accounting revaluation of an earlier period, or to one that is expected to be carried out in a future period, deferred tax assets are recognized in the income statement on the temporary difference arising as a result of the revaluation.

The current and deferred tax assets and liabilities must be recognized and measured in accordance with IAS 12 namely based on the taxable income (losses), the amounts for tax purposes, unused tax losses, unused tax credits, and tax rates determined based on IFRIC 23.

In the presence of uncertainties in the application of tax legislation, in accordance with IFRS 23 interpretation, the Group:

  • i) in cases where it deems probable that the tax authority will accept the uncertain tax treatment, it determines the income taxes (current and/or deferred) to be recognized in the financial statements according to the tax treatment applied or which it plans to apply at the time of tax declaration;
  • ii) in cases where it deems unlikely that the tax authority will accept the uncertain tax treatment, it reflects such uncertainty in the determination of income taxes (current and/or deferred) to be recognized in the financial statements;
  • iii) the uncertain tax asset/liability are to be represented in the items that include the assets and liabilities for income taxes and not in other balance sheet items.

The Group has applied the temporary exception provided by the amendment to IAS 12, issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") on 23 May 2023, concerning the recognition and related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements of deferred tax assets and liabilities arising from the application of the Global Minimum Tax, as set out in Council Directive (EU) 2022/2523 of 14 December 2022 (the "Directive"), within the framework of the Global Anti-Base Erosion Model Rules ("Pillar Two").

45.24. VALUE ADDED TAX

Revenues, costs and assets are recognized net of valued added tax (VAT), except where VAT applied to the purchase of goods or services is non-deductible, in which case it is recognized as part of the purchase cost of the asset or as part of the expense recorded in the income statement.

The net amount of indirect tax on sales which may be recovered from/paid to the Tax Authorities is included in the financial statements under other receivables or payables, depending on whether it is a debit or a credit balance.

45.25. SHARE CAPITAL, TREASURY SHARES, DIVIDEND DISTRIBUTION AND OTHER NET EQUITY ITEMS

Ordinary shares issued by the parent company Amplifon S.p.A. are classified as part of net equity. Any costs incurred to issue new shares, are classified as a reduction of net equity.

Purchases and disposals of treasury shares, as well as any gains or losses on purchase/disposal, are recognized in the financial statements as changes in net equity. Dividends distributed to the shareholders are recorded as a reduction in net equity and as a liability of the period when the dividend payment is approved by the Shareholders' Meeting.

45.26. EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE

Earnings per share is determined by comparing the Group's net profit to the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the accounting period. For the calculation of diluted earnings per share, the weighted average number of shares outstanding is adjusted assuming the conversion of all potential shares with a dilutive effect.

45.27. ACCOUNTING STANDARDS FOR HYPERINFLATIONARY COUNTRIES

The Group companies operating in hyperinflationary countries (Argentina) restate non-monetary assets and liabilities found in their original financial statements in order to eliminate any distortions due to the currency's loss of purchasing power. The inflation rate used in this instance corresponds with the consumer price index. The companies operating in countries in which the cumulative three-year rate of inflation is close to or exceeds 100% use the hyperinflationary accounting measures and cease to do so when the cumulative three-year rate of inflation falls below 100%.

The gains or losses on the net monetary position are recorded in the income statement.

The financial statements drafted in currencies other than the euro by Group companies operating in hyperinflationary countries are converted into euros based on the exchange rate at the end of the reporting period both for balance sheet items and for economic ones.

45.28. NON-CURRENT ASSETS HELD FOR SALE AND DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

The company classifies a non-current asset (or a disposal group) as held for sale if its carrying amount will be recovered mainly through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use.

Non-current assets and disposal groups classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. Selling costs are the incremental costs directly attributable to the disposal of an asset (disposal group), excluding financial expenses and income tax expenses.

The criteria for classifying assets held for sale are considered to be met only when the sale is highly probable and the asset or disposal group is available for immediate sale in its present condition.

The actions required to complete the disposal program should demonstrate that it is unlikely that the program will be significantly modified or canceled. Management must be committed to the plan to sell the asset and the disposal should be expected to be completed within one year of the date of classification.

The entity does not classify as held for sale a non-current asset (or disposal group) that is intended to be discontinued.

However, if the disposal group to be abandoned represents a component of an entity that has been discontinued or classified as held for sale, and:

  • a) represents a major independent line of business or geographical area of operations;
  • a) it is part of a single coordinated plan to dispose of a significant self-contained business or geographical area of operations, or
  • a) it is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to resale;

the entity shall present the results and cash flows of the disposal group in the financial statements as discontinued operations. Non-current assets (or disposal groups) to be abandoned include non-current assets (or disposal groups) to be used until the end of their useful life and non-current assets (or disposal groups) intended to be retired from use rather than sold.

Property, plant, and equipment and intangible assets are not amortized once classified as held for sale. Discontinued operations are presented as a single amount as profit or loss after tax from discontinued operations in the income statement.

46. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On 2 March 2026, Amplifon S.p.A. completed the disposal of its UK business to Hidden Hearing (Demant Group), a well-established player in the British market. In connection with the above disposal transaction, as at 31 December 2025 the assets and liabilities relating to Amplifon United Kingdom Limited and its subsidiaries, subject to the disposal agreement, were reclassified to "Assets held for sale" and "Liabilities held for sale". The UK activities, which include a network of approximately 100 direct clinics across England and Wales and a workforce of around 260 employees, generated annual revenues of 33 million euros in 2025 and had a dilutive impact on the Group's EBITDA margin. This divesture stems from a comprehensive review of Amplifon's business segments under the "Fit4Growth" performance enhancement program.

The disposal will result, in the first quarter of 2026, in the recognition in the income statement of non-recurring and non-cash charges of approximately €18 million, arising from the reclassification to profit or loss of the cumulative negative foreign exchange differences previously recognised in equity, in accordance with the applicable IFRS requirements upon realisation of the foreign currency translation reserve following disposal of a foreign operation. Net of these accounting effects, the disposal is expected to contribute positively to the Group's profitability.

In February 2026, Amplifon Nederland B.V. entered into an agreement for the disposal of its interest in the Dutch joint venture Comfoor B.V., accounted for in the consolidated financial statements using the equity method. In view of the completion of the transaction, as at 31 December 2025 the carrying amount of the investment was reclassified to "Assets held for sale", in accordance with the applicable IFRS requirements for the classification of assets held for disposal.

As from 2026, a contract with an insurance company in the US managed care segment expired. The agreement, whose contribution to the Group's total annual revenues was marginal (approximately 1%), had profitability prospects that were not aligned with Amplifon's objectives, in a context of lower growth and reduced attractiveness of the insurance segment in the United States. The Company's objective in this segment is to undertake a strategic review of its business, including through a more diversified customer base.
