| % on net sales | 10.6% | 14.6% | % on net sales | (7.1%) | 3.7% |


Revenues – Components (1) – Group volumes above 2019

- 2Q2021: volumes up by more than 5% compared to 2Q2019
- Volume: up by more than 75% compared to 2Q2020
- Price & sales mix: still slightly negative impact but having improved thanks to progressive selling price adjustment to raw material price variation
- 1H2021: volumes up by more than 3% compared to 1H2019
- Volume: up by more 30% compared to 1H2020
- Price & sales mix: negative impact, mostly for 1Q2021 trend


Revenues – Components (1) – Polymers drove EMEA strong volumes
Considering the material difference of Covid-19 outbreak impact in 2020 between 1Q and 2Q on Group results and to allow for greater comparability, 2021 volumes are compared to both 2019 and 2020 while qualitative comments are based on 1H2021 trend

- EMEA: volumes up by more than 10% compared to 2Q2019 and by almost by 3% versus 1H2019 (up by almost 90% and by more than 30% compared to 2Q2020 and 1H2020 respectively)
- BCF: consistent enhancement of "residential" and "automotive", in 2Q "contract" recovery improved
- NTF: strong push from ECONYL® products
- Polymers: the growth driver of the region, having benefitted from an outstanding market demand

Revenues – Components (1) – NTF better than BCF in North America
Considering the material difference of Covid-19 outbreak impact in 2020 between 1Q and 2Q on Group results and to allow for greater comparability, 2021 volumes are compared to both 2019 and 2020 while qualitative comments are based on 1H2021 trend

- North America: volumes down by 2% compared to 2Q2019 and in line with 1H2019 (2) (compared to 2Q2020 and 1H2020 up by almost 40% and by around 10% respectively)
- BCF: "automotive" recovery stronger than "contract" one
- NTF: strong demand in all final application sectors, "home" in particular
(1) Based on "First Grade Product" revenues
(2) In BCF, especially in first part of 2019, Group benefitted from the withdrawal by a primary competitor on some types of product while NTF O'Mara acquisition was consolidated since June 2019

Revenues – Components(1) – Strong year start

Considering the material difference of Covid-19 outbreak impact in 2020 between 1Q and 2Q on Group results and to allow for greater comparability, 2021 volumes are compared to both 2019 and 2020 while qualitative comments are based on 1H2021 trend

- Asia Pacific: volumes down by 3% compared to 2Q2019 and up almost by 10% compared to 1H2019 (up by 70% compared to 2Q2020 and by 50% up by 1H2020)
- BCF: good performance of "automotive" in China and "residential" in Oceania, even if the latter recorded a slow down in the final part of the period probably due optimization inventory policies of some customers

Revenues – Components(1) – "Average selling price"
- Group "average selling price" of a reporting period is the result of "sales mix evolution" and "selling price" agreed with customers
- "Sales mix evolution"
- ‒ Among 3 Group product lines: BCF, NTF and Polymers
- ‒ Inside each product lines, considering product typologies
- o E.g., BCF: contract, automotive, residential, …
- o E.g., NTF: textured, warp….
- "Selling price" Group contracts could be divided in 2 macro categories according to their definition mechanism:
- ‒ "formula based" selling price contracts and
- ‒ "free and spot/market negotiation" selling price contracts

Revenues – Components(1) – "Average selling price" – Illustrative example
- "Formula based" contracts foresee periodical adjustments to reflect caprolactam (CPL) price variation and cover the majority of BCF and NTF revenues
- ‒ most adjustments are implemented on quarterly bases considering the price of CPL of the previous quarter
- o E.g., the amount of 3Q202Y CPL price adjustment is the difference between 2Q202Y and 1Q202Y CPL prices
- ‒ most adjustments are implemented on quarterly bases considering the price of CPL of the previous quarter
- "Free and spot/market negotiation" contracts do not foresee automatic adjustment of CPL price variation but follow the market trend and cover the majority of Polymers revenues

Revenues – Polymers almost double their weight


(1) O'Mara Incorporated consolidated since 31st May 2019 (2) Asia Pacific includes "Rest of the World"

Revenues – ECONYL® – Going back to normality
- 2Q-1H2021: going back to normality after the pandemic impact on ECONYL® demand in 2020
- ‒ between 1Q and 2Q2020 especially BCF "contract" clients-built warehouse stocks to face possible production block due to lockdown measures, having postponed demand drop in 2H2020
• NTF again better than BCF
- ‒ BCF demand still influenced by "contract" slow recovery
- ‒ NTF demand drove by agreements with fashion brand


Revenues – ECONYL® – BCF the support and NTF the accelerator

- ECONYL® has been an acceleration growth driver for the Group through both the strengthening of relationship with consolidated customers and the attraction of new ones
- ‒ BCF sector historically drove ECONYL® development due to the earlier common cultural sensitiveness to environmental topics of both Aquafil and some important carpet producer clients
- o ECONYL® allowed to protect and even increase market share, especially on high-end products
- ‒ Later on in NTF sector, both ECONYL® application developments and an increasing awareness to a "circularity vision" allowed Group to attract completely new and different clients (e.g. fashion and luxury brands)
- ‒ BCF sector historically drove ECONYL® development due to the earlier common cultural sensitiveness to environmental topics of both Aquafil and some important carpet producer clients


Example of BCF product: a tiles Example of NTF product: a fashion backpack

EBITDA – Even in line with 1H2019
• € 39.3mcompared to € 39.1 of 1H2019
- Positive impact ofstrong volumesincreasedriven by Polymers
- Consolidation of 2019 savings plan and ofsome of COVID-19 actions
- 1H2021 impacted by the slow recovery of "contract BCF and still not fully benefitted of pass-through on "selling price" ofraw material prince increase
