- Recurring net profit was 44.4 million euros compared to 53.0 million euros in the fourth quarter of 2023 due to higher depreciation and amortization following the strong investments in the business and higher financial expenses
Milan, March 6th, 2025 – Today, the Board of Directors of Amplifon S.p.A. (EXM; Bloomberg/Reuters ticker: AMP:IM/AMPF.MI), global leader in hearing solutions and services, approved the draft Annual Financial Statements and the Consolidated Financial Statements as at December 31st, 2024 during a meeting chaired by Susan Carol Holland.
ENRICO VITA, CEO
"In 2024, we continued along our strong growth path with revenues exceeding 2.4 billion euros thanks to abovemarket organic performance and an acceleration in M&A, with 400 new points of sale acquired in Europe, the United States and China, despite a European market performance which was below expectations. More in detail, thanks to another year of significant growth, the United States has become our top market in terms of revenue.
In a very challenging year, with a global market still behind historical growth levels, we invested in our brand, in the distribution network, and the hearing care professionals, strengthening our competitive positioning and preparing to make the most of the expected recovery in Europe, particularly France. We are very confident about our growth prospects for 2025, in terms of both revenues and profitability".

ECONOMIC RESULTS FOR FY 2024
(*) EPS adjusted (adjusted net earnings per share) for non-recurring expenses and for the amortization linked to acquisitions as per the Purchase Price Allocation accounting treatment.
Consolidated revenues amounted to 2,409.2 million euros in 2024, an increase of 7.0% at constant exchange rates and of 6.6% at current exchange rates compared to 2023. The performance was driven for 3.4% by strong organic growth, above the reference market, which is still characterized by different performances across the various geographies, and for 3.6% by the significant contribution of acquisitions made mainly in the United States, France, Germany and China, despite a particularly challenging comparison base. The foreign exchange effect was negative

for 0.4% due to the depreciation of the US dollar, the Australian dollar, the New Zealand dollar and, above all, due to the annualization of the strong devaluation of the peso carried out by the Argentinian government in December 2023.
More in detail, revenue growth and a positive organic performance were reported in EMEA despite a softer-thanexpected market; AMERICAS continues to record double-digit growth despite the challenging comparison base; and APAC reported a good performance, supported by solid organic growth and the acquisitions in China.
Recurring EBITDA was 567.7 million euros, an increase of 4.8% compared to 2023. The recurring EBITDA margin was 23.6%, compared to 24% in 2023, due to lower operating leverage in EMEA attributable to a softer-than-expected market, the dilution effect of the Miracle-Ear direct retail network accelerated growth in the United States, as well as the strong investments ahead of 2025. EBITDA as reported amounted to 561.1 million euros, after non-recurring expenses of 6.6 million euros3 .
Recurring EBIT came to 265.0 million euros compared to 274.0 million euros in 2023, with the margin at 11.0%. This performance is attributable to higher depreciation and amortization related to the strong investments in network expansion, innovation, and digital transformation. EBIT as reported was 256.8 million euros, after non-recurring expenses totaling 8.1 million euros3 .
Recurring net profit amounted to 151.7 million euros, a decrease of 8.5% compared to the 165.8 million euros recorded in 2023 after higher depreciation and amortization and an increase in financial expenses. Such increase, which amounted to 10.6 million euros, is attributable mainly to higher net financial debt, including higher lease liabilities following the strong network expansion (in application of IFRS 16), the refinancing of expiring facilities, mainly subscribed during 2020, at current market conditions and the increase in market interest rates compared to the 2023 average.
Net profit as reported, which reflects the non-recurring expenses referred to above net of taxes for 6.4 million euros, was 145.4 million euros. The tax rate was 26.0%, slightly lower than in 2023. The adjusted net earnings per share (EPS adjusted) came in at 86.9 euro cents, a decrease of 4.8% compared to the 91.3 euro cents reported in 2023.
During the year, the Group acquired around 400 points of sale in the main core markets (the United States, France, Germany and China) for a cash-out of more than 192 million euros. In 2024, the US distribution network reached 400 direct points of sale (out of a total of roughly 1,600 in the country), while in China there are now more than 500 stores. Today, Amplifon's global network comprises over 10,000 points of sale.

ECONOMIC RESULTS FOR THE FOURTH QUARTER OF 2024
(*) EPS adjusted (adjusted net earnings per share) for non-recurring expenses and for the amortization linked to acquisitions as per the Purchase Price Allocation accounting treatment.
Consolidated revenues came to 664.4 million euros in the fourth quarter of 2024, an increase of 8.0% at current exchange rates and of 4.5% at constant exchange rates compared to the fourth quarter of 2023. The acceleration in bolt-on acquisitions contributed 3.7% to this performance. The organic performance, slightly below 1%, reflects both the annualization of the strong devaluation of the peso carried out by the Argentinian government in December 2023 (which inverted the negative impact on the exchange effect seen in the first nine months of the year to positive and to negative on the organic performance), as well as the softer-than-expected European market. The performance was also impacted by the extremely challenging comparison base: organic growth in the fourth quarter of 2023 was in fact 8.9% compared to the fourth quarter of 2022. The exchange effect was positive for 3.5%, primarily due to the annualization of the strong devaluation of the Argentine peso referred to above.

Recurring EBITDA was 155.4 million euros, in line with the fourth quarter of 2023. The margin on revenues came in at 23.4% compared to the 25.3% in the same period of the prior year due to lower operating leverage in EMEA attributable to a softer-than-expected market, the dilution effect of the Miracle-Ear direct retail network accelerated growth in the United States, as well as the significant investments relating to the new emotional advertising campaigns in Italy and Spain in order to further consolidate the brands' equity ahead of 2025, and the strengthening of audiologist capacity in France to prepare for 2025 expected market growth related to the Restà-Charge Zéro regulatory reform anniversary. EBITDA as reported amounted to 153.3 million euros, after nonrecurring expenses of 2.2 million euros4 .
Recurring EBIT came to 73.0 million euros, decreasing compared to the 81.1 million euros recorded in the fourth quarter of 2023, with the margin on revenues at 11.0%. This result reflects higher depreciation and amortization related to network expansion and the strong investments made in innovation and digital transformation. EBIT as reported was 69.3 million euros after non-recurring expenses of 3.7 million euros4 .
Recurring net profit amounted to 44.4 million euros compared to 53.0 million euros in the same period of 2023. This result reflects higher depreciation and amortization, as well as an increase of 3.9 million euros in financial expenses attributable mainly to higher net financial debt, including higher lease liabilities following the strong network expansion in application of IFRS 16. Net profit as reported came to 41.2 million euros4 , with the tax rate at 21.9%, 110 basis points lower than the 23.0% recorded in the same period of 2023. The adjusted net earnings per share (EPS adjusted) came in at 24.6 euro cents compared to 28.1 euro cents reported in the fourth quarter of 2023.

In 2024, EMEA reported revenue growth thanks to a positive organic performance in a still soft market environment and the contribution of bolt-on acquisitions in France and Germany. In the fourth quarter, the revenue performance was driven by organic growth for 0.3% and by acquisitions for 2.4%. The organic performance was impacted by a market demand which continues to be soft and below expectations mainly in France, the largest market in the region, and a very soft performance in Spain due to the strong floods in November (Dana), which severely compromised operations in more than 50 stores.
4 See details of non-recurring items in the following tables.

In 2024, the area's profitability was reconfirmed as one of the Group's highest, with the EBITDA margin at 27.2%, even if lower than in 2023 due mainly to lower operating leverage attributable to a softer-than-expected market, the significant investments in marketing relating to the new advertising campaigns launched in Italy and Spain at the end of the year in order to further consolidate the brands' equity ahead of 2025, and the strengthening of audiologist capacity in France to prepare for 2025 expected market growth related to the Rest-à-Charge Zéro regulatory reform anniversary. In the fourth quarter of 2024, the EBITDA margin came in at 25.1% as a result of the factors referred to above.
AMERICAS: Excellent revenue growth supported by the success of the US strategy. Organic performance in the fourth quarter reflecting the negative effect of the annualization of the devaluation of the Argentine peso in December 2023

AMERICAS reported an excellent revenue performance in the year, driven by a double-digit, well-above-market organic growth and acquisitions. This performance continued also in the last quarter, despite the extremely challenging comparison base and the annualization of the strong devaluation of the peso carried out by the Argentine government in December 2023, which inverted the negative impact on the exchange effect seen in the first nine months of the year to positive and to negative on the organic performance. In fact, the United States recorded a well-above-market, double-digit organic growth in the fourth quarter thanks to the performance of both Miracle-Ear Direct Retail (which today has a network of 400 points of sale) and Amplifon Hearing Health Care. In the fourth quarter, also the contribution of bolt-on acquisitions made in the United States, Canada and Uruguay remained substantial at 9.7%, while the exchange effect was inverted (compared to the first nine months of the year) and became particularly positive in the fourth quarter as a result of the annualization of the strong devaluation of the peso referred to above.
In 2024, EBITDA amounted to 129.6 million euros, an increase of 12.7% compared to 2023, with the margin at 25.5%, 130 basis points lower than in the prior year due to the dilution effect of the Miracle-Ear direct retail network accelerated growth in the United States and the integration of the circa 100 points of sale acquired since the beginning of the year. In the fourth quarter, EBITDA amounted to 38.6 million euros, an increase of 24.3% compared to the same period in 2023.

In 2024, ASIA-PACIFIC (APAC) reported excellent revenue growth, driven by strong organic growth and the significant contribution of the acquisitions made in China. In the fourth quarter strong, above-market revenue growth was recorded despite the challenging comparison base (in 2023 organic growth was around 12% compared to the fourth quarter of 2022) driven by solid organic growth to which also China contributed despite the difficult macro environment. The acquisitions in China contributed significantly to the area's growth, while the exchange effect was slightly positive by 0.3%, due mainly to the strengthening of the Australian dollar against the Euro.
In 2024, the area's EBITDA reached 96.8 million euros, an increase of 7.8% compared to 2023, with the margin on revenues stable at 26.1% even after the strong growth in China. In the fourth quarter, EBITDA came to 23.8 million euros, a slight increase with respect to the fourth quarter of 2023, with the margin at 25.3%.
BALANCE SHEET FIGURES AS AT DECEMBER 31ST, 2024
The balance sheet and financial indicators continue to confirm the Group's solidity and ability to sustain future growth opportunities. The total net equity reached 1,150.2 million euros at December 31st, 2024, higher than the 1,101.7 million euros recorded at December 31st, 2023.
Operating cash flow before payment of lease liabilities was 449.9 million euros. The payment of lease liabilities, equal to 129.0 million euros, brought the operating cash flow to 320.9 million euros, an increase of 6.9% against the 300.0 million euros recorded in 2023. Free cash flow came to 175.9 million euros, an increase of 9.8% compared to the 160.2 million euros in 2023, after higher investments (net of disposals) of 145.0 million euros compared to 139.9 million euros in 2023. The net cash-outs for acquisitions (192.5 million euros, higher than the 108.5 million euros recorded in 2023), along with the outlays for dividends (65.6 million euros) and the share buyback program (25.4 million euros), as well as the inflows relating to other non-current assets (5.3 million euros), brought the cash flow for the reporting period to negative 104.3 million euros compared to negative 17.5 million euros in 2023.
Net financial debt came to 961.8 million euros compared to 852.1 million euros at December 31st, 2023, with financial leverage at 1.63x compared to 1.50x at December 31st, 2023.
RESULTS OF THE PARENT COMPANY AMPLIFON S.P.A.
In 2024, the parent company Amplifon S.p.A. posted revenues of 409.7 million euros compared to 480.5 million euros in 2023 and a net profit of 95.2 million euros compared to 90.6 million euros in 2023.

DIVIDEND
The Board of Directors will propose to the Shareholders' Meeting, convened on April 23rd, 2025, to allocate the profit for the year as follows:
- distribution of part of the year's earnings as a dividend to shareholders of 0.29 euros (29 euro cents) per share, in line with the prior year, for a total of 65,342,907.59 euros based on the share capital subscribed to date, with shares going ex-dividend (detachment of coupon 17) on May 19th, 2025, to be paid as from May 21 st, 2025;
- allocate the remaining profit for the year, amounting to 29,837,027.41 to retained earnings.
The total dividends payable and the allocation of retained earnings not distributed will vary depending on the number of shares with dividend rights outstanding at the payment date, net of the Company's treasury shares.
OUTLOOK
In 2024, despite a market environment characterized by different performances across the various geographies, the Company continued along its path of strong, above-market revenue growth, supported by the strengthening of its competitive positioning in the core countries.
At the same time, the Company made significant investments to consolidate the leadership of its brands, expand the distribution network and strengthen the audiologist capacity to prepare for the anticipated recovery of the European market in 2025.
In 2025 the Company expects another positive year for the hearing care market in the United States, despite the challenging comparison base, and a progressive return to growth in the European market after three years of soft demand, thanks above all to the Rest-à-Charge Zéro regulatory reform anniversary in France.
In light of the above and assuming that there are no further slowdowns in global economic activity due to, among others, the well-known inflation related issues and the geopolitical situation, for 2025 Amplifon expects:
- Consolidated revenues to grow mid to high single-digit at constant exchange rates, supported by an abovemarket and more balanced performance across regions, as well as bolt-on acquisitions, the latter contributing to revenue growth for around 2%;
- Recurring EBITDA margin of at least 24%, thanks mainly to an improved operating leverage in EMEA.
In further detail, the Company expects an acceleration in revenue growth from the second quarter, as the French market is anticipated to gain momentum from the second quarter onwards, and in light of the challenging comparison base of the first quarter of 2024, which also had 1.5 trading days more than the first quarter of 2025.
In the medium term, the Company remains extremely positive on its prospects for sustainable growth in sales and profitability, thanks to the secular fundamentals of the hearing care market and its even stronger competitive positioning.
CONSOLIDATED SUSTAINABILITY STATEMENT
During today's meeting, the Board of Directors also approved the Consolidated Sustainability Statement as at December 31st, 2024 drawn up in accordance with Italian Legislative Decree 125 of September 6th, 2024, which implements EU Directive 2022/2464/UE (referred to also as Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive or CSRD). This statement, included in the Company's Annual Report, stems from the Double Materiality Analysis and describes the progress made by the Group with respect to the relevant Impacts, Risks and Opportunities identified.
The statement also provides all the stakeholders with an update about the developments with respect to the Sustainability Plan "Listening Ahead" launched in 2024 and developed in accordance with the 2030 United Nations Agenda for Sustainable Development. The main initiatives and milestones achieved in 2024 include:
- The Group's strong focus on environmental topics and the challenges posed by climate change including:
- the reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 3% compared to 2023, primarily thanks to lower Scope 3 emissions;

- offering free hearing tests at the Group's stores, which made it possible for customers and prospects to save 200 million euros in 2024;

During today's meeting, the Board of Directors also resolved, pursuant to Articles 2357 and 2357-ter of the Italian Civil Code and Art. 132 of Legislative Decree n. 58 of 24 February 1998, to submit a proposal to the Annual Shareholders' Meeting to authorize a new share buyback program, following the withdrawal of the current program expiring October 2025, for the part not executed. The new authorization is requested for a period of 18 months from the Shareholders' Meeting and calls for purchase and disposal, on one or more occasions, on a rotating basis, of up to a total number of new shares which, taking account of the treasury shares already held, does not exceed 10% of Amplifon S.p.A.'s share capital. Currently, the Company holds a total of 1,068,249 treasury shares, equal to 0.472% of the share capital.
The proposal is motivated by the need to continue to provide the Company with an efficient means to access treasury shares to service stock-based incentive plans, existing and future, reserved for executives and/or employees and/or staff members of the Company or its subsidiaries, and for the potential free allocation of shares to shareholders, as well as to increase the number of treasury shares to be used as a form of payment for extraordinary transactions, including company acquisitions or the exchange of equity interests. Based on the Board of Directors' proposal to be submitted to the Annual Shareholders' Meeting, the purchase price of the shares will be determined on a case-by-case basis for each single transaction. The price, however, may not be 10% higher or lower than the stock price registered at the close of the trading session prior to each single purchase.
For further information please refer to the Directors' Report prepared in accordance with Art. 73 of the Regulations for Issuers.
