Brembo Annual Report 2024

NOTE ON PRESENTATION

The annual report at 31 December 2024 was prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), as adopted by the European Union and with Section 2:362 (8) of the Dutch Civil Code ('DCC'), pursuant to Part 9 of Book 2. The IFRS designation also includes the International Accounting Standards ('IAS') as well as all the interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee ('IFRIC'), formerly the Standard Interpretations Committee ('SIC').

ADAPTATION PLAN PURSUANT TO ARTICLES 15 AND 18 OF THE MARKET REGULATIONS

In accordance with Articles 15 and 18 of Consob Regulation 20249 of 28 December 2017 and subsequent amendments concerning 'conditions for listing shares of companies that control companies established and governed by laws of non-EU countries', the parent company Brembo N.V. (the 'Company' or 'Parent Company' or 'Brembo' and together with its subsidiaries 'Brembo Group' or the 'Group') has identified its significant subsidiaries as defined in Article 15 (2) of the above-mentioned Regulation, and verified that the conditions set out in paragraphs b) and c) of Article 15 have been met.

INFORMATION ON THE FIGURES PRESENTED

All the figures in this annual report are expressed in thousands of euro (except for the figures in separate financial statements, which are in euro), whereas the original data is recorded and consolidated by the Group in euro. Similarly, all percentages relating to changes between two periods or to percentages of net revenue or other indicators are always calculated using the original data in euro. The use of amounts expressed in millions of euro may therefore result in apparent discrepancies in both absolute amounts and data expressed as a percentage.

The language of this annual report is English. Certain legislative references and technical terms have been cited in their original language in order to give them their correct technical meaning under applicable law.

EUROPEAN SINGLE ELECTRONIC FORMAT REQUIREMENTS

Pursuant to article 4 of the Transparency Directive, starting from 2021 reporting period, the financial statements schema in the annual financial report is prepared in XHTML format, in compliance with the European Single Electronic Format (ESEF) as a company listed on a European Union regulated market.

Shareholders,

I am very pleased to share with you the Annual Report of a truly significant year for Brembo. For the first time, we are presenting our Annual Report in an integrated form, highlighting, on the one hand, the link between strategy, governance and financial performance and, on the other, the social, environmental and economic context in which we operate.

The further development of our innovation strategy, our major industrial investments, and our expansion into new business sectors were key elements of the year just ended.

The global market context continued to be full of complex challenges that Brembo faced with a strategy that has always proved successful: investing in the future and in innovation. On an industrial level, we forged ahead with our investment plan of over half a billion euro announced in 2023, opening up new horizons by entering countries such as Thailand, where we inaugurated a new plant dedicated to two-wheeler solutions. In Italy, we are expanding our production at Brembo SGL Carbon Ceramic Brakes S.p.A. and developing additional spaces within the Kilometro Rosso Science and Technology Park.

One of the most significant events in

2024 was the acquisition of the Swedish Öhlins Racing, announced in October and completed in early 2025. Öhlins is a leader in premium car and motorbike suspensions conceived for MotoGP, Formula 1, Superbike and NASCAR. It is a world-renowned brand, with a solid business and an unparalleled reputation. This acquisition is the largest transaction in our history and contributes significantly to strengthening the Group's brand portfolio. These investments, which consolidate our global positioning, are made possible by our results. In a very complex scenario, marked by severe difficulties in the automotive industry, particularly in Europe, Brembo managed to keep revenues substantially stable at €3,840.6 million. In 2023, a year that had shown significant growth rates, revenues had amounted to €3,849.2 million. We were able to achieve these results thanks to the commitment and work of over 15,000 Brembo people around the world, who day after day contribute to making our Company great and to whom I extend my thanks.

Our goal is to ensure that Brembo continues to grow and maintain its leading position in the automotive market at the global level. To reach this milestone, in April 2024 we transferred Brembo's registered office to the Netherlands. This has allowed us to adopt a capital structure that is more flexible and aligned with our future development strategy. This transaction did not, and will not, affect Brembo people or its business, identity, culture or presence in Italy and in the other areas in which we operate. In fact, Brembo continues to retain its tax residence in Italy, and to be listed on the Italian Stock Exchange.

For Brembo, growth also means broadening its prospects, including with regard to its core business. In fact, our propensity to being a Digital Company drives us to continue exploring the endless opportunities offered by AI and data management. This is how we developed SensifyTM: an intelligent braking system that is able to communicate and exchange information with the vehicle, setting a new benchmark in the automotive industry.

In line with this approach, in 2024 Brembo signed a global agreement with Michelin to fully exploit the potential of the respective intelligent brake and tyre solutions, with the aim of revolutionizing vehicle performance and offering drivers the highest safety and comfort standards. The ongoing exchange of

real-time data between Michelin's connected solutions software provides data on tyre grip to Brembo's innovative SensifyTM braking system, allowing engineers to fine tune the braking system with exceptional precision.

Digitalization and data science are now one of the key elements of the automotive industry. It is for this reason that, after opening our first Brembo Inspiration Lab — a centre of excellence located in California, Silicon Valley, and specializing in software development and AI applications —, we have recently inaugurated, in the same area, Brembo Coding Hub, which focuses on software development innovation that integrates with our customers and their platforms.

In sharing our integrated Annual Report, which also illustrates how our activities embrace all ESG areas, I want to underline how essential it is for us to take into account their impacts on the Group and the impacts that the Group itself has on people, communities and the environment.

In fact, we are aware that we are an important player in the economic and social fabric of the local areas in which we operate all over the world. This

generates a deep sense of responsibility towards people, organizations and institutions, and of course the environment. For this reason, in 2024 we continued to develop and implement projects and initiatives to engage and support local communities, with the aim of bringing tangible support to the areas of greatest social need. Our work and commitment in this area were recognized by various third parties, including the magazine VITA, which placed Brembo at the top of the ranking of large Italian companies in the four sectors of fashion, food, automotive and furniture precisely because of its social responsibility.

In 2024, we also wanted to involve all Brembo people in our Sustainability Week, a sharing initiative organized at all Brembo plants and offices around the world. It was an opportunity to encourage people to learn more about and share fundamental topics related to this area and saw the active participation of thousands of people, united in the name of sustainability.

In terms of environmental sustainability, I am particularly pleased to report that CDP recognized Brembo's commitment in 2024 as well, confirming us as one of the leading companies for action on climate change and water stewardship with an A-score in both categories.

As we grow and consolidate, what has not changed is our passion for and commitment to racing — a fundamental pillar in which we continue to invest to remain at the forefront of innovation. To further strengthen the Brembo name's association with the world of racing, in 2024 we became Title Sponsor of the MotoGP Italian Grand Prix at Mugello.

After 2024, we are now entering a new year that is particularly significant for us because we will celebrate 50 years of presence in the world of motorsport. Half a century of passion and innovation: two elements that have always set Brembo apart and that will continue to guide us in the future, towards the new challenges and new goals that await us.

GUIDED BY OUR VISION AND MISSION.

Turning Energy into Inspiration and Being a Solution Provider. Our vision and mission guide Brembo's continuous expansion. A constant and progressive growth that originates from what we have accomplished over time, in the awareness of being ready to reach new heights.

VISION AND MISSION

Electrification, digitalization, autonomous driving and environmental sustainability are macro-trends that have been at the centre of the automotive world and the strategies of the market's main players for some years.

Within this scenario, Brembo has been pursuing its mission of being a Solution Provider by proactively rising to the challenges posed by the ongoing transformation, focusing on the needs and desires of the new generations, which will be the users of tomorrow.

Brembo continues to invest significantly in innovation, driven by its vision "Turning Energy into Inspiration", which encourages the Group to extend its sphere of influence to embrace energy management in its broader meaning, not only in terms of components, but also in its role as authoritative systems provider. In addition to innovative hydraulic and mechanical components, innovation is also applied to software and artificial intelligence: this combination allows to aim at a high added-value product and service integration in order to anticipate the new mobility paradigms.

SensifyTM is the tangible outcome of this vision: the first fluid-free intelligent braking system that constantly interacts with the driver with a view to shaping a world without accidents. Its launch on the market, planned for 2026, will truly revolutionize the automotive industry.

At the heart of the Group's strategic vision there is also an overarching commitment to sustainability that has becomes a modus operandi within Brembo, permeating all activities, processes and products. This sustainability driven approach is increasingly present also in the relationship with its People, with its supply chain and in the local areas in which the Group operates.

In 2024, the Group continued to implement strategic projects within the three Pillars — Digital, Global and Cool Brand — through dedicated working groups that leverage a shared leadership and the crosscutting competencies of all parties involved, engaging all Group Regions and outlining the growth direction for the forthcoming future.

DIGITAL

The world has entered the era of artificial intelligence applications focusing on data processing. The ability to analyze and manage data is a crucial skill for continuing to grow and create innovation. Accordingly, Brembo has set itself an ambitious goal: becoming a company that, alongside the production of braking systems, is able to develop and offer all-round solutions to its customers through the widespread dissemination of a solid data culture within the Group and an increasingly data-driven approach.

Consistently with this approach, in 2024 Brembo signed a global agreement with Michelin to combine their intelligent solutions that leverage algorithms, know-how, and expertise related to brakes and tires. The continuous exchange of real-time data between Michelin's connected solutions software provides tire grip data to Brembo's innovative SensifyTM braking system, thus enabling engineers to fine-tune the braking system with exceptional precision.

Confirming Brembo's increasingly data-driven focus, in 2024 the Group launched the brand-new Brembo Coding Hub, alongside the Brembo Inspiration Lab – which has been honing Brembo's Data Science and generative AI expertise since 2021. The Brembo Coding Hub is a software center designed to strengthen its expertise in this highly important field, pursuing innovation and allowing increasingly comprehensive integration of advanced electronic solutions into its braking systems.

GLOBAL

Brembo has long ago embarked upon its decentralization path and has now become a Group operating in 18 countries worldwide. Within this context, the Global Pillar aims to balance the Group's international footprint, not only from a commercial standpoint, but also in terms of technology and innovation, by developing and encouraging excellence at local level for the benefit of a global organization whose mindset is based on multiculturality, valuing of diversity and with inclusion as a shared value.

The opening of a new production plant in Thailand is a crucial step in the global expansion strategy of the Group, as it strengthens its position in the motorcycle segment and consolidates Brembo's role as a solution provider for customers operating in the country, thus laying the foundations for further development of its business in the ASEAN region.

As further evidence of Brembo's commitment to expanding its offerings for the automotive market, the acquisition of Öhlins, leading manufacturer of premium suspension technology both on the racetrack and the road, enhances Brembo's role as a Solution provider of integrated, intelligent solutions to its customers, leveraging synergies across key technologies in the vehicle's corner.

COOL BRAND

Brembo does not set limits on creativity and considers it essential to continuously engage in strengthening its brand, anchoring it to new trends that are reconfiguring mobility in line with the values and sensibilities of the new generations, especially Generation Z. The objective is thus to identify their passion, needs and tastes, and translate them into a unique brand experience able to generate tangible solutions.

In this framework, the world of racing, which has always been the Group's flagship, plays a particularly important part in Brembo, embodying the

principles of Cool Pillar in engaging the widest and most diverse audience. In 2024, Brembo enthusiastically joined the 100th edition of the 24 Hours of Le Mans as Braking Technology Provider, and became Braking Inspiration Partner of MotoGP, also proudly taking on the role of Title Sponsor of the Italian Grand Prix at Mugello. Racing will be even more of a protagonist in 2025: Brembo celebrates 50 years in this world, and for this occasion it has launched a new Brembo Racing logo to celebrate 5 decades full of satisfaction and expertise.

2.2 RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

BRAKE DISCS FOR CARS AND COMMERCIAL VEHICLES

In the area of brake discs for cars and commercial vehicles, Brembo's strategic priority for 2024 was the development of technical solutions to meet the criteria of the new Euro 7 regulation, which for the first time has set standards for emissions of particulate matters from braking systems, with specific limits for different vehicle categories effective as of 2026.

Brembo is developing solutions for reducing particulate emissions from brakes. In 2020, it launched its Greentive® disc, with an innovative coating that reduces wear and tear and particulate emissions. Subsequently, the Company has forged ahead with research on new materials and technologies linked to the brake disc production process.

In parallel, it has also continued the concurrent development of brake pads — an activity essential to create an ideal combination with the brake disc able to ensure low emissions without compromising on performance.

Application developments with the major European market players are underway, and will continue in 2025 as well, with a view to applying these new solutions, which are meeting with interest also among other customers.

As regards discs for heavy commercial vehicles — a segment which is of particular interest to Brembo —, series production was launched in 2024 at some major European clients to produce new solutions aimed at improving disc performance and reducing their weight. In this regard, worth of mention was the significant recognition of the excellent performance of the new discs by a major European client.

MOTORBIKE

The motorbike areas, which will be further developed in the next years, focus on the implementation of traditional products, the development of new mechatronic systems and the production of braking systems that will enable Brembo to enter new market segments dedicated to sustainable mobility.

The goal set with regard to traditional products is to improve the range, both for BREMBO and BYBRE-branded solutions. For the former, the aim is to increasingly focus on top-level performance using new technological solutions, including those applied to racing, while also working on sporty and elegant design and on an everincreasing range of customized products. The new off-road braking system and the new radial brake master cylinder currently under development are the latest components developed for the new Distincta® axial brake master cylinder and T-drive floating disc presented at EICMA 2024. New products are also being developed to enrich the BYBRE-branded range for the Indian and Chinese markets, focusing on reliability and robustness without ever compromising on performance.

The development of mechatronic products is clearly the most important field of innovation. Brembo is already testing some solutions equipped with mechatronic systems to verify their effectiveness and potential. The aim is to identify the best product configuration and then move on to the next development phase.

The search for new markets in the two-wheel field is focusing on sustainable mobility. A collaboration agreement was signed with a first customer for the development of several high-performance braking systems to be used on high-performance vehicles. Brembo will

debut on this segment by the end of 2025 and a second braking system that will introduce new production materials and technologies is already under development.

As regards methodology, a first digital project is underway: it aims at a 25% reduction in the design times of the main motorbike products by automating some design phases. This methodology will be extended to all main motorbike products — from calipers, to discs, master cylinders and complete braking systems — within the next two years.

RACING

2024 saw the introduction for on-track use of a new carbon material called HULK (Happy Until Last Kilometres), which ensures significant improvements compared to its Formula 1 predecessor. This material was also used by Max Verstappen, among other drivers, in his bid for a fourth world title, and represents the starting point for 2026, when new Formula 1 regulations will be introduced.

The main changes will include the wider use of carbon materials characterized by very low wear and tear, and therefore by reduced particulate emissions. Getting ready for 2026 will require significant developments as regulations will be reset and braking systems will be completely revolutionized. It is important to point out that in 2026 Formula 1 cars will be allowed to mount an innovative brake caliper with 3 fixing systems and 4 pads, according to a Brembo patent already applied in the last 2 years to high performance vehicles also used on the track.

The development of carbon-ceramic material continued throughout the year in the automotive sector and, first and foremost, in the motorbike sector, with the on-track approval of a new material that will also be used on road vehicles. This Division draws particular attention to the continuous improvement of knowledge of vehicle and motorbike dynamics.

Several examples in the past showed how it had been possible to manufacture products by immediately focusing on the impact they would have on vehicle dynamics.

Two recent examples involved Formula E and LMH cars in 2023: it was the case of Brembo's brake-by-wire systems, which, in coordination with the vehicle's control unit, manage the brakes on the car axle, using electric motors for regenerative braking. Developed by the Performance Division, the brake-by-wire systems include an electronic control unit with a control software developed by Brembo, a hydraulic actuator driven by an electric motor, a safety device that connects the braking system directly to the driver, and a series of sensors required to set control strategies and monitor their functionality over time.

Brembo is the sole supplier of this component for the third-generation Formula E single-seaters and for a top team competing in the WEC.

A better understanding of vehicle dynamics and the development of expertise in controlled electronic systems are Brembo's goals for the new generation of products under development, namely smart systems and products with built-in control unit features that will be introduced starting with the new F1 championship in 2026 and, after 2027, in MotoGP and other sports applications.

These products will be developed taking into account the simulation methodologies already mastered, such as CFD calculation and mechanical and thermal calculations of the complete braking system, as well as the product validation methodologies that have been evolving in

recent years. More and more importance will be attached to the value of the data collected directly from Brembo's test benches and from the cars that fit its brakes.

The analysis of data to understand physical phenomena will be integrated for statistical purposes with new analyses that will also use AI, with the aim of improving the final product. New competencies, virtual and smart sensing, machine learning, and the strong scientific contribution by Milan Polytechnic and other research centres will form the basis for further developments over the next five years.

FRICTION

In the field of friction materials, R&D is undergoing a transformative shift driven by the increasing use of AI. Artificial intelligence enables to more efficiently analyse large amounts of data, identify hidden patterns, and more accurately predict outcomes. This reduces development time and costs, while simultaneously improving product quality.

Brembo is working to exploit the potential of GEN AI to generate new formulations that meet customers' increasingly stringent performance requirements for brake pad friction materials. This will lead to a significant reduction in time-to-market, offering Brembo a considerable competitive advantage in developing more suitable materials.

The knowledge gained about the characteristics of friction materials allows Brembo to map tribological properties and apply these competencies to more complex systems such as the Electric Parking Brake and Sensify®. In

addition, the expertise acquired in the passenger car sector can be extended to light and heavy commercial vehicles.

Synergy with the other Global Business Units is constantly aimed at studying emissions, in line with Euro 7 standards, and their quality. Research also focuses on discovering and using new eco-friendly raw materials and processes to ensure a reduced environmental impact.

The enhancement of BRGP (JV between Brembo and Gold Phoenix) in the R&D field represents a fundamental step in our innovation strategy. This project aims to develop new solutions that keep Brembo at the forefront of its industry. BRGP not only improves Brembo's production capabilities, but also allows it to explore new market opportunities and respond more quickly and effectively to its customers' needs.

CAR AND COMMERCIAL VEHICLE SYSTEMS

The Group's three guiding principles — low emissions, high performance and best driving experience — are also pursued when developing products in the Car and Commercial Vehicle Systems area.

Brembo continues to improve products and processes by focusing on reducing mass, optimising performance, enhancing style and using sustainable materials.

The low-emission range aims to reduce fuel consumption and emissions through lightweight and efficient braking systems, while also ensuring compliance with new regulations such as Euro 7.

Brembo uses virtualization and AI techniques to increase

its simulation capacity so as to improve the efficiency and
comfort of the entire braking system. An example of this is
the new driving simulator, which, using vehicle dynamics
models shared by customers, becomes an integral part of
development.
SensifyTM, Brembo's pioneering braking system, perfectly
embodies these priorities. This ecosystem combines
artificial intelligence, software and sensors to manage the
braking of each wheel independently.
In keeping with Brembo's strategic priorities, the
development and launch phases of Sensify™ are fully
underway for both the Group's Passenger Car clients and
new players that have entered the electric vehicles market.
The product is currently being extended to the Light
Commercial Vehicle segment thanks to an EU-financed
project.

2.4.1 MACROECONOMIC SCENARIO

According to the most recent estimates from S&P Global Market Intelligence (January 2025), global GDP growth has been predicted to reach 2.7% in 2024, slightly down from 2.9% in 2023.

The global economy remains resilient, as inflation continues to ease, falling from 5.7% in 2023 to 4.5% in 2024, and prompting a gradual shift toward looser monetary policies. Lower inflation is boosting real household income growth and spending, although consumer confidence in many countries has yet to recover to pre-pandemic levels. Despite the significant decline in headline inflation, service price inflation remains elevated. Meanwhile, the labor market pressures continue to ease, though unemployment generally remains at or near historical lows.

Low inflation, steady employment growth and less restrictive monetary policy will help to support demand, despite mild headwinds from necessary fiscal tightening in several countries.

Substantial uncertainty remains due to geopolitical matters. An escalation of conflicts in the Middle East could disrupt oil supplies from the region adding more pressure already heightened by the ongoing Ukraine-Russia conflict. Furthermore, trade policy uncertainty has surged, driven by the proliferation of import-restrictive measures across major economies and the potential for new tariffs, particularly in the United States from the new Republican administration.

Considering the current state of the global economy and the related uncertainties, S&P expects GPD growth to decline to 2.5% in 2025.

At the regional level, the Eurozone closed 2024 with 0.7% GDP growth, up from 0.5% in 2023, and is forecast to steadily grow to 0.9% in 2025, driven by recovering domestic demand. in artificial intelligence, may continue to come in stronger than expected. Deregulation in key sectors of the economy could also provide a boost to growth. In conclusion, economic growth in China reached the

robust at 2.8% in 2024, down slightly from 2.9% in 2023, before slowing to 2.0% in 2025.

As immigration is expected to decline from recent peaks, labour demand cools, and households exhaust pandemicera savings, consumption growth is likely to soften, though it will remain solid. Risks to growth are tilted to the downside, including stickier-than-expected services inflation that could delay monetary easing, surging oil prices linked to geopolitical tensions, heightened trade conflicts, or slower labor force growth. On the upside, productivity growth, potentially fueled by new advances

The improvement will be underpinned by easing financial conditions and favorable energy and commodity prices. The labour market remains tight, with persistent labour shortages in several sectors and historically low unemployment levels, which are slowing the normalization of wage growth. Furthermore, real disposable incomes are expected to support consumption as inflation moderates with S&P forecasting inflation will decline to 2.1% by 2025. Private investment will benefit from more accommodative financing conditions and public spending under the NGEU program. However, significant risks remain. An escalation of Middle Eastern conflicts could dampen external demand and reignite inflationary pressures. On the upside, a stronger use of accumulated household savings could strengthen private consumption. For what concern fiscal policy, key EU countries are making strides in reducing fiscal deficits, although more work remains to be done. In the United States, GDP growth has been projected to be 5.0% target in 2024, down from 5.2% in 2023, with further gradual weakening expected in 2025. The slowdown reflects structural challenges, including unfavorable demographics and lagging productivity growth. The real estate market is still one of the most affected, with property investment still declining weighing on growth, but at a slower pace. Industrial production has been robust, driven by high-tech industries as well as manufacturing investment supported by robust export demand. However, consumption growth remains subdued due to elevated precautionary savings. Differently from many other regions, inflation will remain very low. Monetary policy has become significantly supportive, with a series of rate cuts to support recovery and ensure adequate liquidity. Moreover, fiscal policy has also turned more expansionary in 2024 to finance priority projects. A tightening of global trade restrictions could curb Chinese industrial activity, but recent policy measures could boost confidence and consumption by more than expected.

commercial vehicles up to 6 tonnes slightly declined in 2024, contracting by 1% to 89.4 million units. This reduction reflects the complex dynamics currently shaping the automotive industry, where manufacturers are focusing on managing production and inventories amid volatile launch schedules and regional demand changes, including slowing growth in some areas and uncertainty around BEV (Battery Electric Vehicles) adoption. The momentum of the BEV market remains a concern, especially with the removal of EV subsidies (e.g., Germany) and the introduction of trade tariffs. Regional disparities in EV adoption persist, with some markets experiencing slower progress, and others pushing for faster transitions. Additionally, elevated vehicle prices and persistently high interest rates continue to exert pressure on near-term demand. Projections indicate that global production output will remain flat in 2025.

Regionally, the European automotive market faced significant challenges in 2024, recording a decline of 5%. Consumer confidence was shaken by ongoing global uncertainties and a lack of clarity surrounding the transition to electrification. This downturn reflects a realignment of supply and demand following a period of recovery fuelled by the sales backlog and inventory replenishment. 2025 will be a key year in the race to electrification due to the CO2 targets introduced by the European Union. LV production is forecasted to underperform in 2025 compared to 2024. In North America as well, the market closed 2024 with a negative sign, -1%. This adjustment was necessary to align supply with a steadily slowing demand, while addressing elevated inventory levels. The downward trend is expected to continue throughout 2025. Similarly, vehicle affordability issues remain prevalent, with persistently high interest rates, prevailing tight credit conditions and vehicle prices not declining quickly enough to provide much relief to consumers intending to buy a new car.

In China, LV production grew by 4% in 2024. The central government's economic stimulus plan, launched in September, played a key role in supporting growth, showing a robust response to current pressures. Passenger vehicle sales and production increased, driven largely by strong demand for new energy vehicle (NEV), particularly plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs). However, export growth slowed, hindered by trade barriers. Looking ahead, the light vehicle industrial output in China should remain stable in 2025.

Moving to Medium and Heavy commercial vehicles (trucks and buses over 6 tons), after the 2023 recovery, worldwide production decreased by 6% in 2024. Brembo's core market, Europe, saw an even steeper contraction of 22%. This decline was attributable to the region's weak economic growth, particularly in Central and Western Europe, which dampened demand for heavy trucks in the second half of 2024.

From a registration perspective, global passenger car sales increased by 3% in 2024 compared to 2023. At regional level, Europe recorded a +1% growth, North America declined slightly by 1% and China grew by 7%. In the commercial vehicle segment, worldwide

registrations grew by 2% in 2024. Europe showed a similar increase of 3%, North America achieved a stronger growth of 5%, whereas China declined by 3%.

As regards the motorbike industry (two/three wheelers above 50cc), European registrations ended 2024 with a 11% increase. Considering the engine size, motorbikes above 500cc performed positively with a 11% increase in 2024. In the United States, overall registrations, including also ATVs (All Terrain Vehicles), decreased by 4% in 2024; motorbikes alone also performed negatively by 4%. In 2024, the Indian market increased by 15% whereas the Japanese market declined by 26%.

Regarding the aftermarket, the global UIO (units in operation) are forecast to reach 1.6 billion in 2024,

representing a 2% increase compared to 2023. All regions
are expected to show positive UIO growth compared to
2023: Europe (+1%), China (+4%), North America (+1%),
South America (+1%), South Asia (+4%), and Japan/Korea
(+1%).

2.4.4 DEFINITION OF THE ALTERNATIVE PERFORMANCE MEASURES

Brembo's Directors have identified some alternative performance measures ("APMs") in the previous paragraphs, in order to provide a better understanding of the Brembo Group's operating and financial performance. These indicators are also tools that help the Directors to identify operating trends and take decisions about investments, allocation of resources and other operating decisions.

The following points enable a correct interpretation of the above-mentioned APMs:

    1. these indicators are constructed starting from the Group's historical data only and are not indicative of the Group's future performance;
    1. the APMs are not laid down by the IFRS and are not subject to audit, although they are taken from the Group's Consolidated Financial Statements;
    1. the APMs must not be considered to replace the indicators provided for by the IFRS;
    1. the APMs are to be read together with the Group's financial information, taken from the Brembo Group's Consolidated Financial Statements;
    1. the definitions used by the Group may not match those adopted by other companies/groups, therefore they are not comparable, since they are not derived from reference accounting standards;
    1. the APMs used by the Group are applied on an ongoing basis and are consistently defined and represented for all the periods for which financial information is included in these Financial Statements;
    1. Management believes the APMs indicated below to be a useful measure providing insight into the matters explained below to allow a better understanding for the financial performance of the Group.

The APMs indicated below have been selected and represented in the Directors' Report on Operations since the Group deems that:

  • Net Financial Debt, combined with other indicators such as Investments/Revenue from contracts with customers, Net Financial Debt/Equity, Net interest expense (less exchange gains or losses)/Revenue from contracts with customers and Net interest expense (less exchange gains or losses)/Net operating income, allow a better assessment of the overall level of debt, capital solidity and debt payment capacity;
  • Fixed Capital and thus net investments in property, plant, equipment and intangible assets, calculated as the sum total of increases (net of decreases) of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets — Net Working Capital, and Net Invested Capital allow a better assessment of both the ability to meet shortterm trade commitments through current trade assets, and the consistency between the structure of the use and that of the sources of financing over time;
  • Gross Operating Income (EBITDA) and Net Operating Income (EBIT), combined with other relative profitability indicators, allow changes in operating performance to be illustrated and provide useful information on the Group's capacity to sustain debt; these indicators are also commonly used by analysts and investors in the sector to which the Group belongs to evaluate company performance.

2.4.6 FULL YEAR 2024 CONCLUSION AND OUTLOOK

The 2024 results confirmed the resilience of Brembo's business model, despite the challenges faced by the automotive industry and the global geopolitical situation.

The Group's revenues were in line with the already positive results of 2023, closing the year at €3,840.6 million, also thanks to the good aftermarket performance. Gross Operating Income was also in line with the previous year at €661.1 million.

In 2024, net investments, including higher leased assets, amounted to €497.5 million. Despite a macroeconomic context that remained significantly complex, Brembo continued to invest to complete the capacity expansion announced in 2023, aimed at reinforcing its industrial footprint in Mexico, Poland, China, and Thailand.

In October 2024, Brembo announced the acquisition of Öhlins. Its integration into the Group will generate synergies while preserving the company's agility and ability to meet the demand for premium solutions through continuous innovation.

Looking at 2025, the Group confirms its ambition to remain an industry leader and support its customers, developing innovative and sustainable solutions to successfully face the challenges that are shaping the automotive industry.

In a context of great uncertainty and in light of the performance of the first months of 2025, on a likefor-like basis, Brembo expects a revenue decline of approximately 5% compared with the previous year.

2.5 SIGNIFICANT EVENTS AFTER 31 DECEMBER 2024

On 2 January 2025, Brembo, further to the announcement made on 11 October 2024, has completed the acquisition of Öhlins Racing, the leading manufacturer of premium, high-performance suspension technology for motorcycles and cars in the Originai Equipment, Motorsport, and Aftermarket segments. The value of the transaction corresponds to an enterprise value of \$405 million, on a cash free/debt free basis, subject to the customary adjustment mechanisms which will be completed within the next 135 days. The payment of the consideration was made entirely using available cash.

No other significant events occurred after the end of 2024 and up to 18 March 2025.

However, with the consolidation of Öhlins and if the geopolitical scenario and trade tensions stabilise in the second half of the year, the Group anticipates revenue in line with 2024.

Dear Stakeholder,

I am pleased to confirm that in 2024 as well Brembo N.V. reaffirms its support to the 10 United Nations Global Compact Principles in the areas of Human Rights, Labour, the Environment and Anticorruption.

In this annual report on the achievements made, we disclose our ongoing commitments to integrating the 10 Principles into our Company's strategy, culture and daily activities, as well as to contributing to the United Nations' goals, in particular the Sustainable Development Goals.

Daniele Schillaci Chief Executive Officer, Brembo N.V.

BREMBO AND THE UN GLOBAL COMPACT

Since 2021, Brembo N.V. has been a participant in the United Nations Global Compact, the world's largest strategic corporate citizenship initiative.

This initiative was established to promote a sustainable global economy that respects human and labour rights, environmental protection, and anti-corruption principles. Promoted by former UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan, more than 25,490 companies from 167 countries have joined the Global Compact, creating a new model for global collaboration.

The UN Global Compact requires companies to share, support, and apply a set of fundamental principles on human rights, labour standards, environmental protection, and anti-corruption within their sphere of influence.

By participating in this initiative, Brembo N.V. has joined a universal network of companies with a long-term strategic vision, oriented towards promoting a culture of sustainability, innovation, and reporting. The Global Compact provides an opportunity to share strategies and good business practices in response to global challenges, utilise ESG-related management tools and resources, and participate in specific working groups.

Further strengthening its commitment, Brembo N.V. has become a founding member of the UN Global Compact Network Italy, actively contributing to the Foundation's objectives and participating in its institutional activities and initiatives.

Recognising the growing importance of sustainability and the value of collaborative learning, Brembo N.V actively participated in 2024 Global Compact Accelerator programs. These specialised programs, designed to embed SDG-aligned practices deep into business operations and across the value chain, accelerate progress and impact for the 2030 Agenda. Specifically, Brembo N.V. engaged with the Climate Ambition Accelerator, the Target Gender Equality Accelerator, and the Business & Human Rights Accelerator.

Brembo N.V.'s participation in the Global Compact testifies to its long-standing commitment to sustainability, which over the years has increasingly focused on numerous fronts, and adherence to the 17 Sustainable Development Goals defined by the UN 2030 Agenda.

BP-1 GENERAL BASIS FOR PREPARATION OF SUSTAINABILITY STATEMENT

This Sustainability Statement has been prepared on a consolidated basis: its scope coincides with that of the Consolidated financial statement. As such, the scope of the sustainability statement does not include the companies valued using the equity method and the following entities due to the non operative nature:

BREMBO REINSURANCE AG
BREMBO POLAND MANUFACTURING SP.ZO.O.
BREMBO POLAND HERATECH SP. ZO.O.
BREMBO THAILAND LTD.
BREMBO AUSTRALIA PTY LTD
BREMBO FRANCE SAS

ESRS 1 allows companies to not yet incorporate the value chain impact fot certain metrics. Brembo have made use of this exemption, by not including the impact of non-consolidated joint ventures and associates in the sustainability statements. Brembo does not have control over these entities, and will assess in the coming years how to incorporate these entities in its sustainability statements. The value chain exemption can be applied during the first three reporting years. Only data and information related to Brembo SGL Carbon Ceramic Brakes S.p.A. (Stezzano), over which the Group has operational control, is included in metrics where required by the ESRS standards and is well stated.

The double materiality assessment, detailed in the section "IRO-1 Description of the processes to identify and assess material impacts, risks and opportunities", which forms the

BP-2 DISCLOSURES IN RELATION TO SPECIFIC CIRCUMSTANCES

This document marks the first year of reporting under the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS), resulting in a different structure for the Sustainability Statement compared to previous reports. It is important to note that no significant errors have been identified in prior reporting periods. Additionally, Brembo does not include information in its sustainability statement that arises from other legislation requiring the disclosure of sustainability information beyond what is prescribed by ESRS. Brembo defined the time horizons in accordance with the ones established by the ERM evaluation processes and adopted in the Financial Statement. Brembo defines the shortterm time horizon as less than one year from current reporting period. On the other hand, the medium-term extends from the end of the short-term up to five years, while the long-term encompasses periods exceeding five years. The information presented in the sustainability statement complies with the qualitative characteristics outlined in Appendix B of the ESRS 1 standard, namely: Relevance, Faithful Representation, Comparability, Verifiability, and Understandability. Where necessary, any estimates related to value chain considerations and causes of uncertainty in the results have been described in the respective paragraphs, as well as any estimates

basis for the preparation of this Sustainability Statement, has considered the Group's value chain. This includes both the activities directly carried out by the Brembo Group and those performed upstream and downstream of direct operations. For a detailed description of the Group's value chain, please refer to the subsequent section "SBM-1 Strategy, business model and value chain". made in the calculation of the reported required metrics. Data concerning Scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions face intrinsic limitations due to the limited availability and relative accuracy of the information used to define both quantitative and qualitative aspects related to the value chain. In conclusion, for the reporting year 2024, there have been no notable events or situations that have significantly impacted the sustainability performance of the Brembo Group.

ESRS 2

Brembo used the phase-in provision in accordance with the ESRS 1 Appendix C except for S1-7, S1-8,S1-13, S1-14.

Finally, Brembo has not defined any metrics beyond those explicitly required by the ESRS; the Group is committed to defining specific metrics for the identified material IROs that are not covered by an ESRS metric and to their periodic monitoring, particularly for topics regarding S2 value chain workers, S3 affected communities, and S4 consumers and end users Consumers and end users).

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

Brembo has adopted a one-tier board structure as provided by laws of the Netherlands, with a Board of Directors consisting of Executive Directors and Non-Executive Directors. Based on the Board Profile and according to the policy on non-discrimination and diversity, Brembo's Board of Directors (BoD) includes 4 executive and 7 non-executive members of which 5 are female and 6 are male. This results in a gender diversity ratio of 83.33%10, while the percentage of independent Board

members is 55%. The BoD is tasked with overseeing impacts, risks, and opportunities11.

In addition to the specific competencies listed in the table above, a short professional profile of each Director, with his/her personal and professional features, is included in the governance report section of the Annual Report and is also available on the Company's website12. Furthermore, the members of the Board of Directors were surveyed to identify the skills they have acquired since 2023. The results, illustrated in the graph below, indicate that the "ESG" category was highlighted by six Board Members.

The Board of Directors, with the support of the Audit, Risk and Sustainability Committee, is tasked with defining the general guidelines of the Internal Control and Risk Management System (ICRMS), so that the main impacts, risks and opportunities pertaining to Brembo N.V. and its subsidiaries are properly identified, as well as adequately measured, managed and monitored. Moreover, the BoD is yearly informed of and has the responsibility to approve the Double Materiality Analysis — the methodology used to identify its material sustainability topics — and it is involved in the target setting of IROs. In this phase, the Board received information about the Group's IROs.

In addition, the Executive Directors are generally responsible for defining additional policies to effectively implement the guidelines, referring to best practice models. These policies are approved by Top Managers and reported to the Audit, Risk and Sustainability Committee which supports the Board of Directors on internal control and risk management issues, including those relevant from a sustainability perspective. Additionally, the Executive Director in charge of the Internal Control and Risk Management System (ICRMSD) is tasked with identifying the main corporate risks by executing risk management Guidelines and verifying their adequacy.

The Board of Directors has clearly defined the key roles and responsibilities within the Internal Control and Risk Management System (ICRMS). The ICRMS encompasses, according to their respective duties, the Administrative Bodies (Board of Directors, Audit, Risk and Sustainability Committee, Executive Directors, and particularly the ICRMSD), External Auditors Supervisory Committee, Internal Audit GCF, Sustainability & Risk GCF, and other

company roles and functions with specific tasks related to internal control and risk management.

These roles are organized based on the company's size, complexity, and risk profile.

Twice a year, the Audit, Risk and Sustainability Committee and the Supervisory Committee shall prepare a report of their deliberations and findings for the Non-Executive Directors and for the Board of Directors, illustrating how they carried out their dutie in the financial year in accordance with the relevant Rules.

Management is also responsible for the effective implementation of the ICRMS within their respective areas. This is achieved through the collaboration and active contribution of all employees and partners at every level of their work activities, thereby creating not only economic but also ethical value for the Company.

To effectively implement the ICRMS guidelines, the Executive Director in charge has established the "Policies for the Management of the Internal Control and Risk Management System". These policies aim to outline the overall integrated structure, allowing the identification and management of the main Company impacts and risks. The System is designed considering the current organizational structure, legislative and regulatory framework, and best practices. This approach ensures continuous information flow among various parties, promoting greater efficiency and maximum mutual integration. To enhance the efficiency of the ICRMS and minimise overlapping activities, specific coordination procedures are in place among the different parties involved.

GOV-2 INFORMATION PROVIDED TO AND SUSTAINABILITY MATTERS ADDRESSED BY ADMINISTRATIVE, MANAGEMENT AND SUPERVISORY BODIES

As previously stated, the Board of Directors, after a first consultation with the Sustainability Committee and with the Audit, Risk and Sustainability Committee and the Supervisory Committee is yearly informed of and has the responsibility to approve the Double Materiality Analysis — the methodology used to identify its material sustainability topics. In this phase the Board receives information about the IROs included within the scope of the double materiality assessment.

Coordination is ensured through constant information flow between the different parties involved in the ICRMS, participation in joint meetings to discuss ICRMS-related issues, dissemination of Internal Audit GCF reports, and circulation of minutes and reports from the Chairwoman of the Audit, Risk and Sustainability Committee to the Supervisory Committee. Risks are monitored at monthly meetings where results, opportunities, risks, and mitigation strategies are analysed for each business unit and geographical area. Supervisory Bodies and Board of Directors oversee Brembo sustainability strategy and target embedded in its Sustainability Plan, always considering industry best practices and the main global ESG trends. GOV-3 INTEGRATION OF SUSTAINABILITY-RELATED PERFORMANCE IN INCENTIVE SCHEMES

During the year, Brembo addressed the relevant risks identified through its risk management policy and procedure (for the list of material IROs, please see ESRS 2 SBM-3). The identification of sustainability risks was carried out through the analysis based on documents following: ERM Report, Climate Change Risk Assessment (CCRA) - Physical and Transitional Risks.

Brembo is provided both with a short-term Incentive Plan (2024 STIP) and a long-term Incentive Plan (2022- 2024 LTIP) both designed by the Remuneration and Appointment Committee and approved by the Board of Directors. The 2024 STIP is designed to align the beneficiaries' organizational conduct and motivate them to achieve challenging targets. The 2022-2024 LTIP is set to push beneficiaries towards the Company's long-term strategies and the sustainability plan defined by the Company has formulated.

The 2024 STIP system provides for an entry gate relating to the Group EBITDA in absolute terms. This performance condition involves an on/off functioning mechanism that entails payment of the final pay-out to the beneficiaries solely in the event that the Group's operating and financial performance is in line with the established targets. Coversely, if the access entry gate is not reached, the system is not be activated, resulting in non-payment of monetary incentives, regardless of whether the objectives in each STIP form are reached.

The LTIP is a pure monetary plan that allows participants to accrue a long-term incentive if the LTIP objectives

are met. The reward component of the pay-out curve is offset by the fact that for values below the entry point (corresponding to performance in line with the reference targets), no payment proportional to the performance objective shall be paid. The LTIP objectives are designed to reward the Group's financial and capital solidity, in line with the business plan and the results achieved over recent years in terms of stronger financial performance and productivity recovery. In 2024, therefore, Brembo's LTIP has completed its vesting period.

Concerning the 2024 STIP, the purely quantitative objectives assigned to the beneficiaries were identified and broken down according to different criteria that, in continuity with the past, include the key drivers of ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) factors.

The ESG criteria were translated into a group sustainability index that constitutes 10% of the overall annual objective for Brembo's Executive Directors with the aim of promoting the application of a long-term sustainable business model.

The achievement the LTIP incentive is instead tied to 4 Group key performance Indicators one of which is again the group sustainability index (Group's Carbon Footprint) at the end of the three-year period. The group sustainability index13 is defined as the Total amount of CO2 emissions saved in the three years thanks to improvement actions (tonnes CO2e) divided by Base year's Scope 1 and 2 CO2 emissions (tonnes CO2e) x 100 where the Base year for the three-year period corresponds to 2021.

GOV-4 STATEMENT ON DUE DILIGENCE

Brembo has incorporated a due diligence process into its governance and business strategy through its policies and procedures. The focus is primarily on developing ESG analyses of suppliers, paying special attention to environmental and social factors, including human rights. Furthermore, in preparation for the upcoming implementation of the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD), the company is actively working to enhance its procedures and processes related to due diligence in both environmental and human rights aspects.

The fundamental elements of due diligence are directly integrated into the Disclosure Requirements defined in ESRS 2 and in the following specific ESRS, as illustrated below:

  • a) Integration of due diligence into governance, strategy, and business model
    • ESRS 2 GOV-2
  • ESRS 2 GOV-3
  • ESRS 2 SBM-3

b) Engagement of impacted stakeholders

  • ESRS 2 GOV-2

    • ESRS 2 GOV-2
    • ESRS S2-4.

The outcome of the due diligence process is incorporated in the double materiality assessment.

GOV-5 RISK MANAGEMENT AND INTERNAL CONTROLS OVER SUSTAINABILITY REPORTING

Throughout 2024, Brembo has started to develop a first internal control framework tailored for sustainability reporting with focus on a set of ESRS-linked to the social KPIs, mapping in the processes of established financial reporting controls, reporting software and systems, supporting documentation and sustainability data. This strategic initiative enhances the reliability and robustness of non-financial data, enabling Brembo to meet both internal organizational needs and specific legislative requirements with a structured and definitive approach. The scope and main features of this internal control system will ensure the integrity and accuracy of Brembo's sustainability reporting through annual assessment.

Brembo's risk assessment methodology for risk management is conducted under the overall ERM framework which follows the guidelines of ISO 31000. For each risk (including Sustainability Reporting risks) several

items are reported and identified, i.e. risk context, risk
scenario and mitigation measures to prevent, control and
transfer risk. Through its top-down risk mapping process,
Brembo assesses at least once a year the main risks of
the Group on both short-term and medium-term horizons
involving all GBUs, GCFs and main Geographies.
The result is the annual ERM report which is reviewed by
the key governance and control roles/functions including
the Executive Chaiman, CEO, Internal Audit, Audit
Committee and finally the Company board. The Internal
Audit GCF considers the results of the ERM report in the
development of the annual audit plan which is defined on

a "risk based" approach.14 Brembo's internal control system for Sustainability Reporting will be grounded in the principles of the COSO Internal Control–Integrated Framework, which encompasses the Control Environment, Risk Assessment, Control Activities, Information and Communication, and Monitoring Activities. This framework, complemented by the "Achieving Effective Internal Control Over Sustainability Reporting (ICSR)" guidelines published in March 2023, guides the Company's approach to internal control for non-financial reporting.

Under the COSO framework, the risk assessment process on social KPIs was executed in two main steps:

    1. A comprehensive mapping of the reporting process was undertaken, starting from the initial data collection to the final integration of data into the Sustainability Statement, ensuring all intermediary phases were included.
      1. This was followed by the identification of risks that could potentially compromise the integrity of sustainability

data. The existing mitigation measures were evaluated, and any unmitigated risks were given the highest level of priority, taking precedence over risks that were already partially or completely mitigated.

Among the primary risks identified were computational inaccuracies, erroneous data validation, and flawed data consolidation. To counter these risks, Brembo introduced specific controls and designated control owners tasked with the verification and correction of the processes susceptible to risk.

Brembo is actively working on the integration of the control matrix that emerged from the internal control framework related to ESRS, into its pre-existing Internal Control and Risk Management System (ICRMS). This strategic move aims to embed sustainability reporting into the core responsibilities of Brembo's internal functions, enhancing the overall governance framework. The frequency and methods of involvement of the supervisory body regarding risk management and control over sustainability reporting will be defined at the end of the process. While the integration process into the ICRMS is still underway, it is set to become a key component of the system.

    1. Commercial Vehicles: Brembo's range for commercial vehicles includes components for original equipment brake systems as well as replacement parts and maintenance products for light to heavy commercial vehicles.
    1. Motorbikes: In the motorbike sector, Brembo offers brake discs, callipers, pumps, light alloy wheels, and complete braking systems to the world's most prestigious manufacturers. Europe, the United States, and Japan are key markets for Brembo in this sector.
    1. Racing: Although it has a limited impact on overall revenues, the racing sector is of strategic importance for Brembo. The company provides braking systems and clutches for racing cars and motorbikes through leading brands such as Brembo Racing, AP Racing, and Marchesini. This sector is a testbed for innovation, with advancements often trickling down to Brembo's massproduced products.

Brembo's reference market is represented by the most important manufacturers of cars, motorbikes, commercial vehicles, racing cars and motorbikes to whom the Group offers a wide range of products and services: 1. Cars: Brembo is a prominent supplier to major car manufacturers, providing brake discs, callipers, wheelside modules, and complete braking systems. The Company also serves the aftermarket segment with a variety of components, ensuring coverage for nearly all vehicles on European roads. The European automotive market faced challenges, with a 5% decline in 2024, while North America also saw a decrease of 1%. In contrast, China's light vehicle production grew by 4%, driven by government stimulus and demand for new energy vehicles. The medium and heavy commercial vehicle market experienced a 6% global production decrease, with Europe facing a significant 22% contraction. Overall, while Brembo's consolidated net sales remained stable at €3,840,643 thousand in 2024, the company is positioned to navigate ongoing changes in its significant markets and customer groups.

Despite a slight decline in global production of passenger cars and light commercial vehicles in 2024, Brembo continues to adapt to changing market dynamics, including shifts in demand for Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs) and regional disparities in EV adoption.

Given the diversity of services and products it offers, the Brembo Group is characterised by a particularly complex value chain. This process is divided into several key phases, encompassing the entire value chain from upstream stages to the Group's direct activities, through to the downstream use and end-of-life of the product. No one of these phases encompasses the following sectors: fossil fuel, chemicals production, controversial weapons nor the cultivation and production of tobacco. Below is a detailed description of the phases of Brembo's value chain:

UPSTREAM: PROCUREMENT

The first phase of Brembo's value chain involves the sourcing of materials. Brembo procures raw materials such as aluminium, scrap, and other essential materials like coke, graphite, calcium carbonate and other chemical additives. These materials are sourced either from direct extraction activities or through the direct purchase of recycled materials, such as scrap metal. In addition to raw materials, Brembo's upstream phases also involve the purchase of finished products and services, including brake pads, seals, rubber components, packaging, and outsourced services like painting and treatments.

DIRECT: DESIGN, DEVELOPMENT, AND PRODUCTION

The next phase includes the Group's direct activities, such as design, development, and production of finished products. Brembo invests significantly in Research & Development to continuously innovate and improve its products, including activities like road testing for product development. The melting of raw materials is a critical step where metals are melted to be transformed into components. These components are then machined and assembled through a production line. The efficiency and coordination of production are ensured by office and back-office activities.

DIRECT: SALES

Once production is complete, the products are sold to various customers. The main buyers include automotive and two-wheeler manufacturers. Additionally, Brembo sells its products to ITG, distributors, spare parts dealers, mechanics, and tuners for aftermarket activities and car and motorcycle upgrades. The products are also available through web channels, further expanding market reach.

DOWNSTREAM: USE AND END-OF-LIFE OF THE PRODUCT

The final phase of the value chain concerns the use and end-of-life of the product. Brembo braking systems are used by end-users, ensuring them high performance and safety. When products reach the end of their life cycle, Brembo engages in disposal and recycling activities, ensuring that materials are managed responsibly and sustainably.

Highlights Report Statement Governance Statements

In terms of significant sustainability-related targets linked to groups of products and services, Brembo has set a goal that complies with Euro 7 regulations to significantly cut PM10 and PM2.5 emissions by 80%, while also generating savings on the total cost of vehicle ownership without compromising performance. This target could be achieved through the Brembo Beyond Greenance Kit which ensures greater mileage and a significant improvement in the total cost of vehicle ownership, with an average reduction of 15%. This results in substantial cost savings over the vehicle's lifetime, a top priority for professional drivers of light commercial vehicles/long-distance fleets, and now also for sedans.

Even though Brembo has not yet performed an assessment of its current significant products and/or services, and significant markets and customer groups, in relation to its sustainability-related goals, the Group set up its sustainability plan, in which it identified objectives related to material issues. The plan was named Turning Sustainability into Action, to underline the intention to make its commitment to sustainability tangible and the desire to define objectives that are challenging and verifiable. In order to develop a consistent plan, the Sustainability Committee discussed each goal and periodically monitors its progress. An information tool was structured to ensure the objectivity of the monitoring. Objectives have a target year and their updated progress is presented annually in order to made adjustments if necessary.

The interests and views of Brembo's key stakeholders have been taken into account in relation to the strategy and business model. This was done through the impact materiality assessment process, in which the main stakeholders expressed their opinions regarding the direct and indirect impacts of the Group. Moreover, following the stakeholder engagement on impact materiality, no changes to Brembo's strategy and business model have been identified or are expected.

The administrative, management, and supervisory bodies are informed about the views and interests of affected stakeholders with regard to Brembo's sustainability-related impacts through the presentation of the stakeholder engagement results to the Sustainability Committee and the Board of Directors.

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

Brembo's business strategy takes into account relevant impacts and risks, as well as opportunities that may arise. In particular, as it was already described in section GOV-5, the Group has implemented a Risk Assessment process – based on the risk evaluation carried out in coordination between the risk management function and the function to which the risk is associated. The same procedure applies to all risks, including those related to sustainability aspects, and is updated annually. This process guarantees the resilience of Brembo's strategy to impacts and risks and enhances its ability to take advantage of material opportunities.

The following table provide a description of the sustainability impacts, risks and opportunities considered material by the Brembo Group following the development of the double materiality analysis on which this Report is based.

Highlights Report Statement Governance Statements

In 2023, the Group had already assessed an internal exercise to prepare for the new double materiality assessment but the Non-Financial Information "NFI" for the Fiscal Year 2023 were prepared in accordance with the requirements of the GRI-2021 Standard of the Global Reporting Initiative. However, within the limits in which two different methodologies can be compared, no significant discrepancies were found in relation to that exercise.

For the current reporting year, Brembo has identified risks in accordance with the ERM methodology. No risks with a high probability of occurrence were identified on the short or medium-long term. All identified risks are considered to be potential, as a consequence Brembo do not disclose current financial effects for the reporting year. The group has implemented actions to mitigate its impacts, risks, and opportunities, which are described in detail in the sections dedicated to the ESRS topics.

IRO-1 DESCRIPTION OF THE PROCESS TO IDENTIFY AND ASSESS MATERIAL IMPACTS, RISKS AND OPPORTUNITIES

To define the material sustainability topics and, consequently, the contents of this sustainability report, the Brembo Group conducted a double materiality analysis, detailed below.

In accordance with the requirements of the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), the Brembo Group conducted a Double Materiality exercise following the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS). This exercise serves as the starting point for identifying material topics through the identification of impacts, risks, and opportunities (hereinafter referred to as "IROs") The Double Materiality analysis is based on Brembo enterprise risk management procedures, including due diligence, and involves active engagement with both internal and external stakeholders.

The ESRS Standard establishes that a sustainability topic can be material from one or both of the following perspectives:

that the Brembo Group generates for stakeholders, the environment, and people, as well as the effects arising from the environment and society that the Group itself faces. The adopted approach allowed for the structured and systematic identification of the main IROs related to the most relevant environmental, social, and governance topics for the Group's direct operations and along its value chain. As a dynamic process, it may be influenced over time by changes in business structure, shifts in stakeholder expectations, regulatory changes, advancements in risk management, or other company needs. IMPACT MATERIALITY

  • Impact perspective: A sustainability topic is material when it concerns the actual or potential, positive or negative impacts of the company on people or the environment in the short, medium, and long term. These impacts can arise from activities conducted under the direct control of the company as well as along its value chain.
  • Financial perspective: A sustainability topic is material if it causes or may cause significant financial effects for the company, whether negative (risks) or positive (opportunities). These risks and opportunities can arise from activities conducted under the direct control of the company as well as along its value chain.

Therefore, to define the material sustainability topics, the Group conducted a double materiality analysis, detailed below.

The double materiality assessment is a continuous process that covers all of Brembo's business areas and sectors.

To define the material sustainability topics, the Brembo Group started with the identification and assessment of the impacts Brembo and its value chain generate on people and the environment.

This process was divided into the following phases:

  1. Understanding the context in which the Group operates, including in terms of activities performed, business relationships, and geographies.

In defining the Group's material impacts on people and the environment, the following were considered:

  • All production activities performed, as detailed in the previous paragraph "Disclosure Requirement SBM-1 – Strategy, business model and value chain".
  • The most significant business relationships of the Brembo Group, as detailed in the previous paragraph "Disclosure Requirement SBM-1 – Strategy, business model and value chain".
    1. Identification of the actual and potential impacts of the Group, also through engagement with its stakeholders.

Brembo has conducted specific stakeholder engagement activities in order to receive their input on material impacts. The engagement of internal and external stakeholders within the Group has been fundamental to the sustainability approach, allowing management to

identify material topics and define a sustainability strategy aimed at the continuous improvement of performance. For a detailed overview of the Brembo Group's stakeholders and the methods of engagement, please refer to the previous paragraph. "Disclosure Requirement SBM-2 – Interests and views of stakeholders".

  1. Assessment of the relevance of the impacts and their prioritization

Regarding the assessment and prioritization of negative and positive impacts, two different evaluation scales were used:

Negative impacts Positive impacts
Negative impacts were
prioritized based on their
likelihood of occurrence and
their severity, determined by
the combination of:
Positive impacts were
prioritized based on their
likelihood of occurrence, as
well as their Scale and the
scope in which they manifest
• Scale
• Scope
• Irremediability

In general, Scale indicates how severe an impact is; Scope indicates the breadth of the impact in terms of the stages of the value chain in which it occurs, while Irremediability indicates how difficult it is to remedy a negative impact.

In the case of negative impacts, whether potential or actual, that influence or could influence human rights, these were assessed in a manner that prioritizes the severity of the impact over its likelihood. Therefore, if a negative impact has a low probability of occurrence but high severity, the assessment is still considered at the maximum level.

Highlights Report Statement Governance Statements

Finally, the Brembo Group has divided impacts into four levels of relevance (as combination of magnitude and likelihood): not relevant, moderate, high, and very relevant. All the impacts that resulted as moderate ore above have been considered material.

For more details regarding the time horizons, please refer to chapter BP-2 Disclosures in relation to specific circumstances.

For more information on the impacts identified by the Brembo Group, please refer to Table 4 in the Disclosure Requirement SBM-3 - Material impacts, risks, and opportunities and their interaction with strategy and business model.

FINANCIAL MATERIALITY

The next phase involved the analysis of Financial Materiality, for which an outside-in approach was adopted.

The analysis was conducted using two key documents from Sustainability & Risk GCF: the ERM Report and the Climate Change Risk Assessment (CCRA). After examining all the risks listed in the documents, including physical and transitional risks that may affect the Group, those relevant to sustainability issues were selected. Similar risks were grouped together, and the aggregated risk was assigned the highest score among those given by Brembo to the individual risks.

The process of identifying, assessing, and managing

risks is closely integrated into the Group's Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) system, in line with best practices and international standards. The results of the ERM process are regularly reported to Top Management, the Control and Risk Committee, the Sustainability Committee, and the Board of Directors (BoD) on a quarterly basis, ensuring constant oversight and effective strategic alignment.

At the same time, a desk analysis was used to map and evaluate potentially relevant sustainability-related opportunities. This process included a comparative study of the best practices of peers and competitors, as well as a thorough analysis of the Group's internal documentation and strategic objectives. The work was supported by recognized national and international sources, such as SASB15, MSCI16 and the S&P Global Sustainability Yearbook17. In this case, since opportunities are not mapped in the ERM, only those present in the CCRA and those identified through the desk analysis were considered.

The analysis was then integrated with risks and opportunities arising from Brembo's impacts and dependencies i.e. close relationships and interconnections between the Group suppliers, customers, resources, regulations, or other external entities on which Brembo relies for its operations and the achievement of its objectives.

Once all potential risks and opportunities were mapped, the evaluation process was conducted by aligning the methodology followed by the Group's ERM function with the guidelines of the ESRS. Specifically, the evaluation of risks and opportunities was carried out based on the

following two parameters:

Magnitude, meaning the impact of the occurrence of
the risk or opportunity on the Group's activities. The
rating scale varies from irrilevant to critical;

Likelihood: the probability of the risk occurring. The
rating scale varies from remote to high.
For more details regarding the time horizons, please
refer to chapter BP-2 Disclosures in relation to specific
circumstances.
Unlike the criteria used for materiality thresholds
in impact materiality, risks and opportunities have
been divided into four level of magnitude: Irrelevant,
moderate, relevant and critical (in accordance with ERM
methodology). Only risks and opportunities with Relevant
and Critical magnitude have been identified as material
regardless of their likelihood.
For more information on the risks and opportunities
identified by the Brembo Group, please refer to Table 4
in the Disclosure Requirement SBM-3 - Material impacts,
risks, and opportunities and their interaction with strategy
and business model.

THE EU TAXONOMY REGULATION (No. 2020/852)

In alignment with the goals of the UN 2030 Agenda and the objective of achieving climate neutrality by 2050, the European Union has established a series of strategies and initiatives aimed at directing capital flows toward investments in assets and activities deemed sustainable. To support this effort, European institutions introduced Regulation (EU) 2020/852 (hereafter referred to as the "Regulation"), which provides reliable and standardized criteria and tools for identifying sustainable economic activities. This Regulation also enhances the comparability for financial institutions and investors regarding the environmental sustainability of investments associated with those activities.

In particular, the Regulation introduced a unified classification system, known as a "taxonomy," for economic activities. To qualify as "environmentally sustainable," these activities must contribute to achieving one or more of the following six environmental objectives:

  • Climate change mitigation
  • Climate change adaptation
  • The sustainable use and protection of water and marine resources
  • The transition to a circular economy
  • Pollution prevention and control
  • The protection and restoration of biodiversity and ecosystems.

Specifically, the Regulation categorizes economic activities into two classifications:

• taxonomy-eligible: an economic activity is considered taxonomy-eligible if it is listed in the delegated acts

  • in the Regulation. To achieve this classification, the activity must:
  • meet the substantial contribution criteria defined by the Regulation for each activity, which scientifically describe the conditions necessary to significantly contribute to the achievement of the environmental objectives;
  • adhere to the "Do No Significant Harm" (DNSH) principle, ensuring that the activity does not cause significant harm to any of the other environmental objectives to which it does not substantially contribute;
  • comply with minimum safeguards that ensure respect for human rights and adherence to international legislation regarding workers' rights, taxation, fair competition, and anti-bribery measures.

of the Regulation and corresponds to one or more environmental objectives. If an activity is taxonomyeligible, it has the potential to make a substantial contribution to the relevant objective. • taxonomy-aligned: an economic activity is classified as taxonomy-aligned if, in addition to being taxonomy-eligible, it complies with the technical screening criteria and minimum safeguards outlined Companies are required to report the proportion of turnover, operating expenditure (OpEx), and capital expenditure (CapEx) related to taxonomy-eligible activities in relation to all six environmental objectives defined by the "Environmental Delegated Act" (Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2023/2486) and the "Climate Delegated Act" (Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2021/2139) and its amendments.

If an activity is taxonomy-aligned, it may qualify as "environmentally sustainable." Article 8 of the Regulation outlines the reporting obligations within the Taxonomy, which currently apply to non-financial companies subject to the Non-Financial Reporting Directive. Since the Regulation came into force, it has been progressively supplemented and expanded to include new sectors and activities. For example, the publication of the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2023/2485 introduced several amendments to the Climate Delegated Act, incorporating new activities and technical screening criteria.

3.2 TAXONOMY

COMPLIANCE ASSESSMENT WITH THE REGULATION

In line with the analysis performed during the previous reporting period, in 2024 the Brembo Group evaluated the effective contributions of its taxonomy-eligible economic activities to the six specified objectives and determined which of these activities can also be classified as taxonomy-aligned. Additionally, Brembo conducted a mapping of CapEx and OpEx associated with the purchase of products or services related to taxonomy-eligible and/or taxonomy-aligned economic activities, as well as individual measures aimed at maintaining low levels of emissions.

ELIGIBILITY ANALYSIS

The analysis led to the identification of the following economic activities conducted by Brembo that are associated with climate change objectives:

  • • 3.8 Manufacture of Aluminium: This includes the capital expenditure (CapEx) and operating expenditure (OpEx) related to the casting of aluminium performed by Brembo, contributing to climate change mitigation.
  • • 3.9 Manufacture of Iron and Steel: This encompasses the CapEx and OpEx associated with cast iron casting performed by Brembo, also aimed at climate change mitigation objective.
  • • 3.18 Manufacture of automotive and mobility components: This refers to the CapEx, OpEx and Turnover linked to the manufacture and upgrading of mobility components for zero-emission personal mobility devices and of automotive and mobility systems which are essential for delivering and improving the environmental performance of the vehicle.18 It is noted that the Brembo Group, in the context of this activity, anticipates a turnover of zero due to the current challenges in making such an estimate. This decision arises from the need to enhance its methodologies for calculating and categorising regenerative braking systems and brakes with drag reduction technologies available in the market.

Additionally, an analysis was conducted regarding CapEx and OpEx related to the purchase of products or services associated with taxonomy-eligible economic activities and individual measures that enable these activities to reduce their emissions. In this instance, the assessment methodology was refined compared to the previous Sustainability Report to ensure that the classification of eligible activities for 2024 is more accurately aligned with Brembo's core operations, differing from the classifications

Highlights Report Statement Governance Statements

18 Compared to 2023, activity 9.1 Close to Market Research, development, and innovation was not considered relevant to Brembo as the amendments to the Climate Delegated Act introduced activity 3.18 Manufacture of automotive and mobility components, which includes both manufacture, repair, maintenance, retrofitting, repurposing and upgrade of mobility components for zero-emission personal mobility devices, relevant to Brembo's core business and research and development activities linked to these same areas. Therefore, research and development activities from activity 9.1 have been incorporated into activity 3.18.

of the previous period as the company aimed to provide a clearer depiction of its core activities.

Brembo has carried out a Climate Change Risk Assessment, but the activities reviewed do not encompass adaptation measures for climate change. As a result, these activities are not currently eligible for the CCA.

From this analysis, the economic activities deemed eligible in relation to the objectives of the Taxonomy are as follows.

Brembo has conducted a Climate Change Risk Analysis that meets some of the DNSH criteria for the Climate Change Mitigation Objective, but the activities considered do not currently include adaptation measures related to climate change as part of an adaptation plan derived from the climate risk analysis. Therefore, these activities are not eligible for Climate Change Adaptation (CCA). It should be noted that, although the activities related to the gas and nuclear sectors included in the Complementary Delegated Act (Delegated Regulation 2022/1214) are not eligible, the relevant tables are still provided for further information.

ALIGNMENT ANALYSIS

For the purpose of assessing alignment with the objectives of climate change mitigation and adaptation, analyses have been conducted for each identified eligible activity to verify compliance with the criteria for substantial contribution and the "Do No Significant Harm" criteria established by each objective.

ACTIVITY - 3.8 ALUMINIUM PRODUCTION

Substantial contribution to climate change mitigation

Regarding aluminium production activities, the criteria for substantial contribution to climate change mitigation require that the greenhouse gas emissions of the activity do not exceed 1.484 tCO2e per ton of aluminium produced, the average carbon intensity for indirect greenhouse gas emissions does not exceed 100 g CO2e/kWh, and the electricity consumption for the production process does not exceed 15.5 Wh/t Al. Until the reporting year 2025, the Regulation indicates that compliance with two of the aforementioned criteria is sufficient to consider the economic activity aligned. All Brembo plants meet at least two of the aforementioned criteria. In particular, Mapello

(Italy), Nanjing (China), and Escobedo (Mexico) meet all three criteria, while Ostrava (Czech Republic) meets two out of three. For this reason, the activity is considered compliant with the substantial contribution criteria.19

Do No Significant Harm (DNSH)

For the activity, Annex I of the Climate Delegated Act provides DNSH criteria concerning four other objectives:

  • • Climate change adaptation: It is required that an analysis is conducted to identify and assess the vulnerability to physical climate risks, both chronic and acute, that impact the activity itself. Brembo has carried out an analysis of relevant physical risks across all its production facilities, considering scenarios for the short term (2023-2025) and long term (2030-2050) based on the IPCC RCP 8.5 scenario ("Fossil Fuel Driven Development"). For this reason, the criterion is considered met for all production sites.
  • • Sustainable use and protection of water and marine resources: Environmental degradation risks related to preserving water quality and avoiding water stress are identified and addressed with the aim of achieving good water status and good ecological potential as defined in Regulation (EU) 2020/852. A water use and protection management plan has been developed in consultation with relevant stakeholders. Where an Environmental Impact Assessment is carried out in accordance with Directive 2011/92/EU and includes an assessment of the impact on water, no additional assessment is required, provided the risks identified have been addressed. Consequently, the criterion is considered met for all the Business Units.

Highlights Report Statement Governance Statements
  • • Pollution prevention and control: This criterion prohibits the use of certain substances classified as hazardous. Brembo ensures that all substances used are in compliance with European and local regulations and has launched a mapping project to identify hazardous substances in use, with the goal of finding potential alternatives. However, due to the current lack of complete data, the company prudently considers this criterion not met.
  • • Protection and restoration of biodiversity and ecosystems: Regarding this objective, the criterion requires that an environmental impact assessment or an equivalent examination has been conducted. Furthermore, it is essential that for sites situated in or near biodiversity-sensitive areas, a suitable assessment has been carried out. Brembo started an initial assessment of the biodiversity status in the regions where its plants are situated and based on the findings of this assessment, no relevant impacts has yet been identified nor the necessary mitigation measures been implemented. Consequently, the Group deems it appropriate to adopt a precautionary approach and considers the criterion not met.

ACTIVITY - 3.9 IRON AND STEEL PRODUCTION

Substantial contribution to climate change mitigation.

Regarding the iron and steel production activity, the criteria for substantial contribution to climate change mitigation require that the emissions from the production process related to coke (excluding lignite coke) used in the production process do not exceed 0.144 tCO2e per ton of product (the only plant, Mapello, to which

this criterion applies does not meet it), and that the emissions related to the casting of pig iron do not exceed 0.299 tCO2e per ton of product. Therefore, for the criterion related to iron casting, the iron and steel production facilities in Nanjing, Dabrowa, Escobedo, and Homer are compliant; however, the plants in Mapello (Italy) and Langfang (China) do not meet this criterion.

Do No Significant Harm (DNSH)

For the activity, Annex I of the Climate Delegated Act provides DNSH criteria concerning four other objectives:

  • • Climate change adaptation: It is required that an analysis is conducted to identify and assess the vulnerability to physical climate risks, both chronic and acute, that impact the activity itself. Brembo has carried out an analysis of relevant physical risks across all its production facilities, considering scenarios for the short term (2023-2025) and long term (2030-2050) based on the IPCC RCP 8.5 scenario ("Fossil Fuel Driven Development"). For this reason, the criterion is considered met for all production sites.
  • • Sustainable use and protection of water and marine resources: Environmental degradation risks related to preserving water quality and avoiding water stress are identified and addressed with the aim of achieving good water status and good ecological potential as defined in Regulation (EU) 2020/852. A water use and protection management plan has been developed in consultation with relevant stakeholders. Where an Environmental Impact Assessment is carried out in accordance with Directive 2011/92/EU and includes an assessment of the impact on water, no additional assessment is required, provided the risks identified have been addressed. Consequently, the criterion is considered met for all the Business Units.

• Pollution prevention and control: This criterion prohibits the use of certain substances classified as hazardous. Brembo ensures that all substances used are in compliance with European and local regulations and has launched a mapping project to identify hazardous substances in use, with the goal of finding potential alternatives. However, due to the current lack of complete data, the company prudently considers this criterion not met.

• Protection and restoration of biodiversity and ecosystems: Regarding this objective, the criterion requires that an environmental impact assessment or an equivalent examination has been conducted. Furthermore, it is essential that for sites situated in or near biodiversity-sensitive areas, a suitable assessment has been carried out. Brembo started an initial assessment of the biodiversity status in the regions where its plants are situated and based on the findings of this assessment, no relevant impacts have yet been identified nor the necessary mitigation measures been implemented. Consequently, the Group deems it appropriate to adopt a precautionary approach and considers the criterion not met.

ACTIVITY - 3.18 MANUFACTURE OF AUTOMOTIVE AND MOBILITY COMPONENTS

Substantial contribution to climate change mitigation.

Regarding urban, suburban, and road passenger transport devices, the criteria for substantial contribution to climate change mitigation require that the direct (tailpipe) CO2 emissions of the vehicles are zero. This includes vehicles in categories M2 and M3, as well as light-duty vehicles in

categories M1 and N1, which must also have zero CO2 emissions as defined in Regulation (EU) 2019/631. Vehicles in category L must have tailpipe CO2 emissions equal to 0 g CO2e/km, and heavy-duty vehicles in categories N2 and N3 must not be dedicated to transporting fossil fuels and have a maximum laden mass not exceeding 7.5 tonnes to qualify as "zero-emission heavy-duty vehicles". Therefore, even though the majority of the products included in the category are intended for hybrid and electric cars, the group has opted to adopt a precautionary approach and considers the activity non-compliant with the substantial contribution requirements, although it is in line with some of its sections.

Do No Significant Harm (DNSH)

For the activity, Annex I of the Climate Delegated Act provides DNSH criteria concerning the following objectives:

  • • Climate change adaptation: It is required that an analysis is conducted to identify and assess the vulnerability to physical climate risks, both chronic and acute, that impact the activity itself. Brembo has carried out an analysis of relevant physical risks across all its production facilities, considering scenarios for the short term (2023-2025) and long term (2030-2050) based on the IPCC RCP 8.5 scenario ("Fossil Fuel Driven Development"). For this reason, the criterion is considered met for all production sites.
  • • Sustainable use and protection of water and marine resources: Environmental degradation risks related to preserving water quality and avoiding water stress are identified and addressed with the aim of achieving good water status and good ecological potential as defined in Regulation (EU) 2020/852. A water use and protection management plan has been developed in consultation with relevant

stakeholders. Where an Environmental Impact Assessment is carried out in accordance with Directive 2011/92/EU and includes an assessment of the impact on water, no additional assessment is required, provided the risks identified have been addressed. Consequently, the criterion is considered met for all the Business Units.

  • • Transition to a circular economy: The activity assesses the availability of and, where feasible, adopts techniques that support the reuse and use of secondary raw materials and re-used components in manufactured products. It also emphasizes design for high durability, recyclability, easy disassembly, and adaptability of products, along with waste management that prioritizes recycling over disposal. Information on and traceability of substances of concern throughout the life cycle of the manufactured products is also ensured. The Group considers it prudent to adopt a precautionary approach and assesses the activity as non-compliant with the specified DNSH criterion.
  • • Pollution prevention and control: This criterion prohibits the use of certain substances deemed hazardous. In light of this criterion, and considering the updates made in June 2023 and the related interpretative ambiguities encountered, the Group deems it appropriate to adopt a precautionary approach and considers the criterion not met.
  • • Protection and restoration of biodiversity and ecosystems: Regarding this objective, the criterion requires that an environmental impact assessment or an equivalent examination has been conducted. Furthermore, it is essential that for sites situated in or near biodiversity-sensitive areas, a suitable assessment has been carried out. Brembo started an initial assessment of the biodiversity status in the regions where its plants are situated and based on the findings of this assessment, no relevant impacts have yet been identified nor the necessary mitigation measures been implemented. Consequently, the Group deems it appropriate to adopt a precautionary approach and considers the criterion not met.

ACTIVITY – CAPEX C

ACTIVITY - 5.1 CONSTRUCTION, EXTENSION AND OPERATION OF WATER COLLECTION, TREATMENT AND SUPPLY SYSTEMS

Substantial contribution to climate change mitigation

The criteria for substantial contribution to climate change mitigation require that specific energy performance criteria have been met. As the Group does not have all the necessary evidence relating to construction, extension and operation of water supply or treatment systems at its production or distribution hubs, it has taken a prudential approach and considered the criterion not met.

Do No Significant Harm (DNSH)

For the said activity, Annex I to the Climate Delegated Act provides for DNSH criteria with respect to the other three objectives:

• Climate change adaptation: It is required that an analysis is conducted to identify and assess the vulnerability to physical climate risks, both chronic and acute, that impact the activity itself. Brembo has carried out an analysis of relevant physical risks across all its production facilities, considering scenarios for the short term (2023-2025) and long term (2030-2050) based on the IPCC RCP 8.5 scenario ("Fossil Fuel Driven Development"). For this reason, the criterion is considered met for all Group plants subject to the analysis.

  • • The sustainable use and protection of water and marine resources: Environmental degradation risks related to preserving water quality and avoiding water stress are identified and addressed with the aim of achieving good water status and good ecological potential as defined in Regulation (EU) 2020/852. A water use and protection management plan has been developed in consultation with relevant stakeholders. Where an Environmental Impact Assessment is carried out in accordance with Directive 2011/92/EU and includes an assessment of the impact on water, no additional assessment is required, provided the risks identified have been addressed. Consequently, the criterion is considered met.
  • • The protection and restoration of biodiversity and ecosystems: Regarding this objective, the criterion requires that an environmental impact assessment or an equivalent examination has been conducted. Furthermore, it is essential that for sites situated in or near biodiversity-sensitive areas, a suitable assessment has been carried out. Brembo started an initial assessment of the biodiversity status in the regions where its plants are situated and based on the findings of this assessment, no relevant impacts have yet been identified nor the necessary mitigation measures been implemented. Consequently, the Group deems it appropriate to adopt a precautionary approach and considers the criterion not met.

ACTIVITY 5.3. CONSTRUCTION, EXTENSION AND OPERATION OF WASTEWATER COLLECTION AND TREATMENT

Substantial contribution to climate change mitigation

The criteria for substantial contribution to climate change mitigation require that specific energy performance criteria have been met. As the Group does not have all the necessary evidence relating to construction, extension and operation of wastewater collection and treatment systems at its production or distribution hubs, it has taken a prudential approach and considered the criterion not met.

Do No Significant Harm (DNSH)

For the said activity, Annex I to the Climate Delegated Act provides for DNSH criteria with respect to the other four objectives:

  • • Climate change adaptation: It is required that an analysis is conducted to identify and assess the vulnerability to physical climate risks, both chronic and acute, that impact the activity itself. Brembo has carried out an analysis of relevant physical risks across all its production facilities, considering scenarios for the short term (2023-2025) and long term (2030-2050) based on the IPCC RCP 8.5 scenario ("Fossil Fuel Driven Development"). For this reason, the criterion is considered met for all Group plants subject to the analysis.
  • • The sustainable use and protection of water and marine resources: for this activity, the potential risks for the good condition or good ecological potential of bodies of water must be assessed and dealt with.

Even though these risks have been assessed, there is no evidence that in Brembo's plants wastewater is treated to a level suitable for reuse in agricultural irrigation, the criterion is therefore considered not met.

  • • Pollution prevention and control: Brembo is compliant with maximum permissible pollutant levels and sewage sludge usage but there is no evidence that appropriate measures have been implemented to avoid and mitigate excessive storm water overflows from the wastewater collection system. As such, according to a conservative approach, Group believes this activity is not compliant with such a DNSH criterion.
  • • The protection and restoration of biodiversity and ecosystems: Regarding this objective, the criterion requires that an environmental impact assessment or an equivalent examination has been conducted. Furthermore, it is essential that for sites situated in or near biodiversity-sensitive areas, a suitable assessment has been carried out. Brembo started an initial assessment of the biodiversity status in the regions where its plants are situated and based on the findings of this assessment, no relevant impacts have yet been identified nor the necessary mitigation measures been implemented. Consequently, the Group deems it appropriate to adopt a precautionary approach and considers the criterion not met.

ACTIVITY 6.5. TRANSPORT BY MOTORBIKES, PASSENGER CARS AND LIGHT COMMERCIAL VEHICLES

Substantial contribution to climate change mitigation

The substantial contribution criteria for expenses incurred for the vehicle fleet require that such vehicles belong to a specific emission class that varies depending on the type of vehicle. For the current reporting year, the Group believes that the activity is consistent with the substantial contribution criteria solely for the fleet's electric and hybrid vehicles.

Do No Significant Harm (DNSH)

For the said activity, Annex I to the Climate Delegated Act provides for DNSH criteria with respect to the other three objectives:

  • • Climate change adaptation: For this activity, it is also expected that an analysis for the identification and assessment of vulnerability to chronic and acute physical climate risks that impact the activity itself will be conducted. Regarding the investments made in 2024 related to the vehicle fleet, following a conservative and cautious approach, and given that this is not an activity directly carried out by Brembo and in the absence of sufficient elements to allow for a complete assessment of compliance with the criterion, the Group considers the activity non-compliant with this DNSH criterion.
  • • The transition to a circular economy: vehicles must exhibit specific minimum reusability and recyclability features, and appropriate waste management practices must be implemented during the maintenance (use

phase) and at the end of the vehicle's life. By adopting a conservative stance and due to a lack of comprehensive information for a complete evaluation of suppliers' adherence to the criterion, the Group considers this activity to be non-compliant with the respective Do No Significant Harm (DNSH) criterion. • Pollution prevention and control: vehicles must adhere to certain parameters relating to conformity, type approval, emissions, and efficiency. Some of the vehicles in the Group's fleet meet this criterion, as the parameters and characteristics in question are required by the European Union for all recently

registered vehicles; however, due to having facilities outside the European Union, the Group, as a precautionary measure, considers this activity to be non-compliant with the criterion.

ACTIVITY 7.2. RENOVATION OF EXISTING BUILDINGS

Substantial contribution to climate change mitigation

The criteria for substantial contribution to climate change mitigation require that specific energy performance criteria have been met. Since the Group does not have all the necessary evidence relating to the work to construct the new buildings at its production hubs, according to a prudential approach, the criterion has been considered not met.

Do No Significant Harm (DNSH)

For the said activity, Annex I of the Climate Delegated Act provides for DNSH criteria with respect to the other four objectives:

  • • Climate change adaptation: It is required that an analysis is conducted to identify and assess the vulnerability to physical climate risks, both chronic and acute, that impact the activity itself. Brembo has carried out an analysis of relevant physical risks across all its production facilities, considering scenarios for the short term (2023-2025) and long term (2030-2050) based on the IPCC RCP 8.5 scenario ("Fossil Fuel Driven Development"). For this reason, the criterion is considered met for all Group plants subject to the analysis.
  • • The sustainable use and protection of water and marine resources: In relation to this objective, the criterion mandates specific plumbing techniques, including maximum water flow rates of 6 litres/min for taps, 8 litres/min for showers, a full flush volume of 6 litres and an average flush volume of 3.5 litres for WCs, and 2 litres/bowl/hour for urinals, with flushing urinals having a maximum full flush volume of 1 litre.

The Group acknowledges that it lacks full visibility for all the facilities within the scope. Therefore, the Group has decided to take a cautious approach and regards the activity as non-compliant with the specified Do No Significant Harm (DNSH) criterion.

  • • The transition to a circular economy: Concerning this objective, the criterion stipulates that a minimum of 70% of the waste produced during construction and demolition at a work site must be processed for recovery. Given that the Group does not possess complete oversight of all active construction sites at plants not directly operated by Brembo, the Group has decided to take a cautious approach and regards the activity as non-compliant with the DNSH criterion.
  • • Pollution prevention and control: Regarding this objective, building components and materials used in the renovation must emit less than 0.06 mg of formaldehyde per m³ and less than 0.001 mg of categories 1A and 1B carcinogenic volatile organic compounds per m³, tested according to relevant standards. A ban is established on the use of certain substances deemed hazardous. To avoid interpretative ambiguity, the Group deems it appropriate to take a prudential approach and consider the activity as non-compliant with the Do No Significant Harm (DNSH) criterion.

ACTIVITY 3.2. RENOVATION OF EXISTING BUILDINGS – CIRCULAR ECONOMY

Substantial contribution to circular economy

The criteria for making a substantial contribution to the circular economy objective mandate particular handling of construction waste, calculation of the building's life cycle Global Warming Potential, design for adaptability, retention of 50% of the original building during construction, and the utilisation of secondary raw materials. Due to the absence of complete documentation regarding the construction of new buildings at its production hubs, Brembo has adopted a cautious approach and determined that the criterion has not been satisfied.

Do No Significant Harm (DNSH)

For the said activity, Annex I of the Climate Delegated Act provides for DNSH criteria with respect to the other four objectives:

  • • Climate change mitigation: the buildings are not dedicated to extraction, storage, transport or manufacture of fossil fuels, the criterion has therefore been met.
  • • Climate change adaptation: It is required that an analysis is conducted to identify and assess the vulnerability to physical climate risks, both chronic and acute, that impact the activity itself. Brembo has carried out an analysis of relevant physical risks across all its production facilities, considering scenarios for the short term (2023-2025) and long term (2030-2050) based on the IPCC RCP 8.5 scenario ("Fossil Fuel Driven Development"). For this reason, the criterion is considered met for all Group plants subject to the analysis.
  • • The sustainable use and protection of water and marine resources: In relation to this objective, the criterion mandates particular techniques concerning certain plumbing systems. The Group acknowledges that it lacks full visibility for all the facilities within the scope. Therefore, the Group has decided to take a cautious approach and regards the activity as non-compliant with the specified DNSH criterion.
  • • Pollution prevention and control: a ban is established on the use of certain substances deemed hazardous. Also, to avoid interpretative ambiguity, the Group deems it appropriate to take a prudential approach and to consider the activity as non-compliant with the DNSH criterion.

ACTIVITY 7.3. INSTALLATION, MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR OF ENERGY EFFICIENCY EQUIPMENT

Substantial contribution to climate change mitigation

Only a limited amount of expenses incurred for the installation and maintenance of energy-efficient lighting and new air-conditioning systems meet the substantial contribution criteria as they are included in the list of initiatives described within the Delegated Act.

Do No Significant Harm (DNSH)

For the said activity, Annex I to the Climate Delegated Act provides for DNSH criteria with respect to the other two objectives:

  • • Climate change adaptation: It is required that an analysis is conducted to identify and assess the vulnerability to physical climate risks, both chronic and acute, that impact the activity itself. Brembo has carried out an analysis of relevant physical risks across all its production facilities, considering scenarios for the short term (2023-2025) and long term (2030-2050) based on the IPCC RCP 8.5 scenario ("Fossil Fuel Driven Development"). For this reason, the criterion is considered met for all Group plants subject to the analysis.
  • • Pollution prevention and control: This criterion prohibits the use of certain substances classified as hazardous. Brembo ensures that all substances used are in compliance with European and local regulations and has launched a mapping project to identify hazardous substances in use, with the goal of finding

potential alternatives. However, to avoid interpretative ambiguity, the Group deems it appropriate to take a prudential approach and to consider the activity as non-compliant with the DNSH criterion.

ACTIVITY 7.4. INSTALLATION, MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR OF CHARGING STATIONS FOR ELECTRIC VEHICLES IN BUILDINGS (AND PARKING SPACES ATTACHED TO BUILDINGS)

Substantial contribution to climate change mitigation

The criteria for making a substantial contribution to climate change mitigation include the installation, repair, and maintenance of electric vehicle charging stations within Brembo's plants. The criterion is deemed to be met, as Brembo has undertaken both the installation and maintenance of such charging stations.

Do No Significant Harm (DNSH)

The only DNSH criterion provided for by the Regulation with respect to activity 7.4 is that relating to the climate change adaptation objective. With regard to this objective, the criterion has been met due to initiatives at the Group's plants under analysis.

ACTIVITY 7.5 INSTALLATION, MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR OF INSTRUMENTS AND DEVICES FOR MEASURING, REGULATION AND CONTROLLING ENERGY PERFORMANCE OF BUILDINGS

Substantial contribution to climate change mitigation

With regard to the expenses incurred for digital meters and energy performance measurement systems, almost all the eligible activities meet the substantial contribution criteria as they are included in the list of initiatives described in the substantial contribution section. More specifically, Brembo's plant activities include the installation and maintenance of building automation and control systems, building energy management systems (BEMS) and lighting control systems and energy management systems (EMS).

Do No Significant Harm (DNSH)

The only DNSH criterion provided for by the Regulation with respect to this activity, is that relating to the climate change adaptation objective. With regard to this objective, the criterion has been met due to initiatives at the Group's plants under analysis.

ACTIVITY 7.6 INSTALLATION, MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR OF RENEWABLE ENERGY TECHNOLOGIES

Substantial contribution to climate change mitigation

Regarding the costs associated with the installation of photovoltaic panels, heat exchangers, and heat pumps, these activities align with the criteria for substantial contribution to climate change mitigation, as they are part of the list of initiatives outlined in the substantial contribution section. Therefore, there are different activities that do not meet the substantial contribution criteria.

Do No Significant Harm (DNSH)

The only DNSH criterion provided for by the Regulation with respect to activity 7.6 is that relating to the climate change adaptation objective. With regard to this objective, the criterion has been met due to initiatives at the Group's plants under analysis.

MINIMUM SAFEGUARD GUARANTEES

Ultimately, Brembo assessed adherence to the minimum safeguard guarantees, in line with the stipulations outlined in Article 18 of the Regulation. In particular, the OECD 2023 Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises, the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, as well as the principles and rights established by the eight fundamental conventions recognized in the declaration of the International Labour Organization (ILO) and the International Bill of Human Rights were considered.

Specifically, nine categories were evaluated: human rights policies, due diligence and risk assessment on human rights, management of human rights impacts, grievance mechanisms, consumer interests, anti-corruption, competition, and taxation.

Brembo ensures coverage of issues related to minimum safeguard guarantees through the adoption of specific tools such as corporate policies, guidelines, and organizational and operational mechanisms, particularly:

  • Group code of ethic, whose rules apply to all employees of all Group Companies and to all those who operate to achieve the Group's objectives.
  • 231 Model and whistleblowing procedures for reporting any violations of the code and the models themselves.
  • Policies regarding diversity in the composition of the Administrative Body aimed at ensuring an ideal mix of skills and professionalism among the members of the Board of Directors, not only in terms of gender but also in terms of experience, professionalism, honourability, independence, age, and other relevant aspects provided by legislative provisions.
  • Remuneration policy and related report published annually as better described in the paragraph "Remuneration Policies" of the chapter "ESRS S1 - Own workforce" and "ESRS G1 - Business conduct".
  • Public communication on issues related to human rights and gender diversity and fundamental labour rights in the Group's present sustainability statement (for more information, see the chapters "ESRS S1 - Own workforce" and "ESRS S2 - Workers in the value chain").
  • Policies and codes of conduct published on the Group's website, whose rules apply to all employees of all Group Companies and to all those who operate to achieve the Group's objectives: anti-corruption code of conduct, brembo code of basic working conditions, brembo policy on non-discrimination and diversity, sustainable procurement policy, general conditions of purchase of materials and services of Brembo. The codes and policies are described in detail in the chapter "ESRS G1 - Business conduct".
  • Grievance mechanisms accessible to stakeholders through the Group's website.

Following this analysis, the Group verified that it has implemented all the safeguards provided for in Article 18 of the Regulation, while recognising the need to formalize some specific disclosures to ensure full compliance with the requirements of the OECD Guidelines and the UN Guiding Principles.

For further details regarding the safeguards related to minimum safeguard guarantees, please refer specifically to the chapters "ESRS S1-Own workforce", "ESRS S2- Workers in the value chain" and "ESRS G1-Business conduct" which delve into the Group's safeguards and results concerning human rights issues and the fight against corruption.

In cases of verification of minimum safeguard guarantees concerning products and services purchased by the Group and originating from eligible economic activities (specifically, for activities 5.1, 5.3, 6.5, 7.2, 7.3, 7.4, 7.5, and 7.6 for the Climate Change Mitigation objective and activity 3.2 for the Circular Economy Objective), companies are required to broaden the scope of analysis to the supply chain of eligible products and services.

In this context, the Group has implemented a specific procedural set to ensure and promote transparency and compliance with the principles outlined in its Ethical Code across the supply chain, as detailed in the chapter "ESRS S2-Workers in the value chain". Nevertheless, adopting a conservative and cautious approach, Brembo does not consider that it possesses adequate information to confirm that existing supply chain management practices ensure complete compliance of suppliers with the requirements of Article 8 of the Regulation.

ACCOUNTING POLICY AND CONTEXTUAL INFORMATION

The Group, in accordance with the guidelines of Annex 1-2 of the Disclosure Delegated Act20, has calculated the Turnover, Capex, and Opex indicators in relation to the activities identified as eligible, assessing their specific weight with reference to their respective consolidated values.

Specifically, the following sections outline the methodological approaches used for the calculation of each indicator, providing an overview for both the denominators and the numerators.

The Group also clarifies that there is no alignment; in fact, the activities for which the appropriate calculations have been made are solely eligible.

TURNOVER KPI

The denominator for Turnover was determined through an analysis of the Group's statutory chart of accounts for the fiscal year 2024. Specifically, for this purpose, in accordance with § 1.1.1 of Annex 1 of the Delegated Regulation (EU) 2021/2178 (hereinafter "Disclosure Delegated Act"), the revenues from the Group's core activities were identified by considering the line item "Revenue from contracts with customers". These revenues, as described by IAS 1 paragraph 82 and the definition of Net Turnover in Directive 2013/34/EU, represent the proceeds from the sale of goods and services net of sales returns, VAT, and other taxes related to turnover. Consequently, the Group's Turnover for 2024 amounts to €3,840,643.00 thousand, as reported in the consolidated financial statements (Revenue from contracts with customers, note No. 20 of the consolidated financial statement at 31 december 2024).

Regarding the calculation of the numerator, although activity 3.18 - Production of automotive and mobility components was preliminarily identified as eligible, no revenues associated with it were recognised for the reporting period 2024. As previously mentioned, the Group is conducting analyses to refine its methodologies for calculating and identifying regenerative braking systems and brakes with drag reduction technologies.

Highlights Report Statement Governance Statements

OPEX KPI

§ 1.1.3.1 of the Disclosure Delegated Act establishes that the denominator of Opex must be calculated by identifying specific non-capitalised operating costs related to:

  • Research and development
  • Renovation measures for buildings
  • Short-term leases
  • Maintenance and repairs
  • Any other direct expenses related to the daily maintenance of properties, plants and machinery.

To evaluate these items, the Group conducted a thorough analysis of the Group's accounting plan. Therefore, a detailed investigation was carried out to isolate all items attributable to the above components.

It is specified as follows:

  • Regarding "any other direct expenses related to the daily maintenance of properties, plants and machinery," cleaning expenses for the plants were considered as suggested by FAQ No. 12 of the Commission Notice C (2022) 385/01 of 06.10.2022.
  • For the personnel costs involved in ordinary maintenance and R&D activities, since it was not possible to derive the values directly through the analysis of the accounting plan, a detailed analysis of the cost centres was conducted using analytical accounting.

As a result, a value obtained for the denominator amounts to €283,827.54 thousand.

Regarding the numerator, the numbers associated with the identified eligible activities were extracted from the management system of the Group's companies, ensuring correspondence with the items of the consolidated accounting plan used for calculating the denominator. In particular, the following eligible activities were identified during the technical assessment:

  • 3.8 Production of aluminium (Climate change mitigation);
  • 3.9 Production of iron and steel (Climate change mitigation);
  • 3.18 Production of automotive and mobility components (Climate change mitigation);
  • 5.1 Construction, expansion, and management of water collection, treatment, and supply systems (Climate change mitigation);
  • 5.3 Construction, expansion, and management of wastewater collection and treatment systems (Climate change mitigation);
  • 6.5 Transport by motorcycles, cars, and light commercial vehicles (Climate change mitigation);
  • 7.2 Renovation of existing buildings (Climate change mitigation and activity 3.2 for Circular Economy);
  • 7.3 Installation, maintenance, and repair of energy efficiency devices (Climate change mitigation);
  • 7.4 Installation, maintenance, and repair of electric vehicle charging stations in buildings (and in parking spaces related to the buildings) (Climate change mitigation);
  • 7.5 Installation, maintenance, and repair of instruments and devices for measuring, regulating, and controlling the energy performance of buildings (Climate change mitigation);
  • 7.6 Installation, maintenance, and repair of renewable energy technologies (Climate change mitigation);
With reference to point C21 of § 1.1.3.2, operating expenses
— largely related to maintenance — were identified
concerning other activities, including the construction,
expansion, and management of water collection and
treatment systems. Additionally, interventions related
to transport by motorcycles, cars, and light commercial
vehicles, renovation of existing buildings, installation and
maintenance of energy efficiency devices, electric vehicle
charging stations, and renewable energy technologies were
considered.

CAPEX KPI

§ 1.1.2.1 of the Disclosure Delegated Act specifies that
the denominator of Capex must incorporate increases in
tangible and intangible assets incurred during the fiscal
year before depreciation, impairment, and any revaluation,
including those arising from revaluations and reductions
in value for the fiscal year in question, and excluding
changes in fair value. The denominator must also include
increases in tangible and intangible assets resulting from
business combinations.
In line with the above, the Group considered the increases
related to intangible, tangible assets, and rights of use of
leased assets for the denominator.
To obtain this data, the asset movement tables were used,
isolating only the "acquisitions" row (Tangible fixed assets
and Intangible fixed assets, items found in notes 1 and 2
of the consolidated annual financial report).

As suggested by § 1.1.2.1, the following references were used:

  • IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment
  • IAS 38 Intangible Assets
  • IFRS 16 Leases

The Group's investments considered for the denominator amount to €500,360.00 thousand, as indicated in the notes to the consolidated financial statements. These investments were divided by type of activity, distinguishing between tangible, intangible assets, and rights of use (according to IFRS 16) of the increases that occurred during 2024, leading specifically to the following values:

  • Intangible assets €47,090.00 thousand
  • Tangible assets €363,964.00 thousand
  • Rights of use €89,306.00 thousand.

Regarding the numerator of the KPI, the Group conducted a detailed analysis of the asset movements to identify the components associated with the activities deemed eligible during the technical assessment. In particular, since the Group operates in various territories, the approach used involved the participation of the administrativeaccounting resources of all plants and Legal Entities within the consolidation perimeter. Detailed numbers were then obtained through extraction from the management systems.

Brembo conducted a climate change risk assessment to evaluate the Company's business resilience and the associated financial exposure to both the physical effects of climate change and the transition towards a low-carbon economy, leveraging scenario analysis and forecasting tools. The aim of the assessment was to comprehend potential vulnerabilities of the Group sites concerning physical risks and to identify meaningful insights – opportunities and risks in the medium/long term – that could constitute valuable inputs in defining and updating the Group's strategy. The assessment scope included Brembo and selected key supppliers' sites.

To address physical risks, a detailed analysis of each potential physical risk event that could affect Brembo or the selected key suppliers' sites has been carried out, examining the potential consequences on Business Interruptions (BI) and/or Property Damages (PD), in the short term (2024) and in the medium/long term (2030/2050). The long-term analysis of physical risks was performed considering the RCP 8.5 scenario of the IPCC ("Fossil fuelled development") which is based on various assumptions regarding emissions, policies and likelihood of achieving high temperature levels in the future. This scenario does not assume future strengthening of policy actions and instead considers the hypothesis that governments will not pursue all announced goals. The related IPCC scenario assumes that:

  • the radiative forcing continues to grow, reaching increase of 2°C by 2050 and 5°C in 2100;
  • the push for economic and social development is coupled with the exploitation of abundant fossil fuel resources;
  • consumption is oriented toward energy intensive lifestyles around the world, leading to rapid growth of the global economy;

the 21st century.

• global population reaches a peak and starts declining in The assessment results on physical risks highlighted that climate exposure of proprietary sites is increasing, with a focus on tornadoes,hail hazards, and water stress. The most economic-relevant exposures are river floods (three sites exposed) and hurricanes / tornadoes / windstorms (two sites exposed), but considering the mitigators in place, the overall potential economic exposure can be considered limited. In order to evaluate and limit its exposure, the Group analyzes exposures to natural catastrophes when building new plants from greenfield or acquiring sites. consideration the RCP 1.9 scenario and the corresponding socio-economic IPCC's SSP1 scenario ("Taking the Green Road"), which is based on various assumptions regarding future emissions, policies and economy. Additionally, the NZE2050 scenario from the IEA has been applied to provide an in-depth analysis of the energy and automotive markets. Brembo is dedicated to monitoring and managing its impacts, risks, and opportunities related to climate change. The company is actively committed to reducing its emissions and adapting its production activities to align with sustainable practices. This commitment extends to minimizing the environmental impacts of its

The climate change risk assessment also led to the identification of opportunities to strengthen the Group's market position, increase market share and access new product segments, as well as to identification of transitional risks primarily related to consumer behaviours and regulatory constraints aimed at reducing environmental impacts. The identified climate-related opportunities and risks have been emphasized in the IPCC RCP 1.9 climate-change scenario, which assumes that: operations and products, which are integral to Brembo's corporate strategy and sustainability plan. The transition to a low-emission economy is particularly relevant for the automotive sector in which Brembo operates. Indeed, the energy transition and evolving climate regulations may lead to significant investments and modifications to existing production processes, presenting both risks and opportunities for the Group. This transformation provides the chance to improve product performance and deliver value to customers.

  • The world shifts gradually, but pervasively, towards a more sustainable path to limit temperature under 1.5°C of warming;
  • Countries fully implement their national targets to 2030 and 2050, and energy demand is met mainly through renewable sources;
  • Consumption is oriented toward low emissions material growth and lower resource and energy intensity. Within the same framework of physical risk analysis, The double materiality assessment has led to the identification of the Impacts, Risks and Opportunities related to the matter of climate change and energy. The material IROs are listed below.

infrastructure issues): Climate change can heighten the risk of catastrophic events such as floods, storms, and wildfires. These events can disrupt production and damage physical assets (including IT infrastructure), resulting in extra costs and possible business interruption as described in the previous paragraph;

  • • Risk Extra costs following the extension of GHG certificates system: In the case of extension of the Cap and Trade system, there would be the possible need to purchase greenhouse gas (GHG) certificates to offset emissions can lead to additional costs. These costs may rise in the future due to stricter regulations and general increased demand for certificates, impacting the company's profitability;
  • • Risk External factors imposing changes/new Sustainability-related objectives: External factors, such as new government regulations or stakeholder pressures, may require Brembo to adopt new sustainability objectives or modify existing ones. These changes could necessitate significant investments and adjustments to business processes, increasing operational costs;
  • • Risk Relationship with Clients in connection to the achievement of Net Zero objectives: In case of failure in meeting clients' expectations regarding carbon reduction, Brembo may lose contractual awardings and/ or suffer reputational damage, negatively impacting sales and growth;
  • • Risk Potential negative outcome from sustainability audits conducted by clients: obtaining negative results in client audits regarding sustainability aspects represents a risk for Brembo, as it can undermine client relationships and leading to a reduction or interruption of the partnership;
  • • Opportunity Opportunities related to the growing demand for "green" products: By investing in sustainable technologies and developing low-impact

products, Brembo can attract new customers, increase market share, and enhance its reputation as a sustainability leader;

• Opportunity - Opportunities to leverage stricter regulations on performance and carbon emissions by improving product requirements and production processes: Stricter regulations on performance and carbon emissions offer Brembo the chance to improve product requirements and production processes. By adopting advanced technologies and optimising energy efficiency, the company can reduce operational costs, enhance product quality, and gain a competitive edge in the market.

E1-1 TRANSITION PLAN FOR CLIMATE CHANGE MITIGATION

Brembo's Climate Transition Strategy aims to pursue the following strategic objectives:

    1. Company sustainability: Presentation of Brembo's commitments in terms of environmental sustainability and resilient business evolution in a future low-carbon scenario.
    1. Regulatory and market context: The transition roadmap is a tool to express Brembo's commitment in accordance with regulatory standards and international frameworks (e.g., Paris Agreement, CSRD, CDP).
    1. Concrete commitment to climate neutrality: The objectives of the transition strategy are in line the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions consistent with achieving Net Zero by 2050, as envisaged by the European Union. permanent removal of CO2 from the atmosphere. These objectives reflect Brembo's commitment to a transition in line with the principles of a global roadmap
More specifically, Brembo is committed to significantly
reducing its greenhouse gas emissions through targets
aligned with scenarios oriented toward limiting global
temperature increase to 1.5°C, as stipulated by the
commitments made by the United Nations at the COP21
in Paris and the Net Zero criteria of the Science Based
Targets initiative (SBTi). It should be noted that Brembo is
not part of the EU Paris-aligned Benchmarks.
These targets are set within a short-term horizon to 2030
and a long-term horizon extending to 2040. The latter, or
broader horizon, compared to medium-term industrial
plans, demonstrates Brembo's foresight and ambition to
precede the European Union's commitments to carbon
neutrality by 2050. Brembo plans to submit its targets to
the SBTi for validation.
For 2030 the objective is to achieve an absolute reduction
of 42% in Scope 1 and Scope 2 market-based emissions
compared to 2020 levels. This will be accomplished through
a significant commitment to the use of renewable energy,
leading to a total reduction in emissions from purchased
electricity by adopting 100% renewable energy sources.
Additionally, an absolute reduction of 42% in Scope 3
emissions is also anticipated compared to 2020 levels.
Looking ahead to 2040, the intensifies further. The goal
is to reach a 90% reduction in Scope 1 and Scope 2
market-based emissions compared to 2020 levels. Scope
3 emissions target sees an absolute reduction of 90%.
Finally, regarding residual emissions, those that cannot be
reduced, (up to a maximum of 10% compared to 2020) will
be neutralised through offset interventions that certify the
permanent removal of CO2 from the atmosphere.

for a Net Zero future. Moreover, in the coming years Brembo is committed to evaluating its locked-in emissions by conducting a study of the elements that could compromise the achievement of reduction targets.

Regarding the involvement of the transition plan by the administrative, management and supervisory bodies, the progress of Brembo's status towards the roadmap to Net zero is presented during the Board of directors meeting. A clear overview of the current data for Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions is provided, along with future projections for the coming years. Specifically, assessing Brembo's position in relation to its goals is essential for highlighting the need for actions or investments in specific sectors and emission factors. Brembo is committed to implementing initiatives aimed at reducing its Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions in order to achieve the climate targets established for 2030 and 2040. These activities involve assessing the feasibility of installing low-impact energy self-production facilities, such as photovoltaic, purchasing renewable energy certificates, upgrading machinery and utilities in its plants to more energy-efficient and less emission-intensive alternatives, and continuously enhancing the engagement of its supply chain through training activities and the establishment of climate-related requirements.

First of all, in order to achieve Net Zero emissions, Brembo has established a Road Map that is continuously refined in response to technical, technological, and market developments. This Road Map encompasses the following actions:

    1. Advanced Monitoring: Implementation of the Brembo Energy Platform, which utilizes smart factory principles to monitor and optimise energy consumption across key factory utilities.
    1. Replacement of Obsolete Systems: Adoption of advanced technologies that offer high energy efficiency, thereby reducing the consumption of non-renewable resources.
    1. Dedicated Budget: Allocation of funds during the investment planning phase specifically aimed at enhancing energy efficiency and reducing emissions.
    1. Losses Reduction: Targeted initiatives, such as identifying and mitigating compressed air leaks, implementing automatic shutdowns of systems during non-productive periods, and recovering heat from compressor cooling circuits.

avoided through improvements, such as the efficient use of all forms of energy and the increased utilisation of renewable energy, compared to the previous year's emission levels.

To ensure the effective implementation of this strategy and alignment with established objectives, the Environment and Energy area coordinates a working group that includes all relevant company functions. This Group collaborates in various ways to carry out improvement initiatives focused on reducing CO2eq emissions. processes. The primary strategies for achieving climate goals include enhancing energy efficiency and adopting renewable energy. Brembo's approach integrates technological, operational, and organizational measures to minimise environmental impact and reach the Net Zero target by 2040 through gradual steps.

In 2024, the target of reducing CO2eq emissions by 20% through improvement actions compared to the previous year's emissions was not only met but even exceeded, achieving a result of 25.2%. This success was driven by energy efficiency projects implemented across all of the Group's plants, as well as an increased share of renewable energy purchased in Poland, the Czech Republic, the US, Spain, and China.

Since 2015, Brembo's climate change policy has set progressively ambitious goals aligned with the UN commitments from the Paris COP21 to address the effects of climate change. To tackle climate change, Brembo has developed a strategy with actions aimed at achieving short, medium (2030), and long-term (2040) greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets for the entire Group. Specifically, Brembo has established an annual sustainability target defined as a percentage of emissions In the pursuit of energy efficiency and process optimisation, key initiatives include the implementation of the Brembo Energy Platform for real-time monitoring of energy consumption the replacement of outdated plants with advanced, energy-efficient technologies, and the allocation of a dedicated budget for sustainability efforts. Additionally, targeted actions aim to reduce losses by addressing compressed air leaks, automating shutdowns during non-productive periods, and recovering heat from cooling circuits, of which contributes to a more efficient and sustainable operation.

Brembo has implemented key decarbonisation levers25 to address emission sources directly under its control, focusing on energy consumption and production

As part of the transition to renewable energy, Brembo is evaluating the installation of facilities for the selfproduction of low-impact energy, including photovoltaic. The Company has purchased renewable electricity to cover 83% of its electricity consumption by 2024 and aims to achieve 100% coverage by 2030, effectively eliminating Scope 2 emissions.

Finally, Brembo is dedicated to innovation and environmental standards by establishing sustainability criteria for new plants and machinery from the design phase. The Group emphasize eco-sustainable products through innovative low-emission solutions and increased use of recycled raw materials to minimise the product life cycle's impact. Additionally, Brembo collaborates with different suppliers to reduce their Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions, fostering sustainability strategies that align

with Brembo's corporate objectives. To date, there are binding requirements only for Scope 2, while for Scope 1, Brembo requests that suppliers undertake decarbonization actions in line with the sustainable procurement policy.

The information related to Brembo action plan (CapEx, OpEx) has not been disclosed with regard to financial the year 2024. However, investments related to climate change mitigation and energy efficiency are reflected in the disclosure related to the European Taxonomy regulation.

E1-4 TARGETS RELATED TO CLIMATE CHANGE MITIGATION AND ADAPTATION

Brembo has established a set of measurable, outcomeoriented, and time-bound targets in its Transition Plan to effectively manage negative impacts and risks while promoting positive outcomes.

In line with the UNFCCC Paris Agreement's goal of limiting global temperature rise to below 1.5 °C, Brembo aims to achieve Net Zero emissions by 2040. This ambitious target is supported by a comprehensive roadmap designed to progressively reduce Scope 1, 2, and 3 greenhouse gas emissions.

Central to this strategy is the transition away from fossil fuels, the promotion of renewable energy sources, and the enhancement of energy efficiency across its processes.

By 2040, Brembo aims to achieve the following targets:

  • Reduce absolute Scope 1 and market-based Scope 2 emissions by 90% compared to 2020 levels.
  • Reduce absolute Scope 3 emissions by 90% compared

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

The greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions for Scope 1, 2, and 3 emitted by the Brembo Group are presented below.

Scope 1 greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) pertain to the direct emissions produced from sources that are owned or controlled by an organization. These emissions represent the total sum of greenhouse gases, expressed in CO2 equivalents. For Brembo, the direct climate-altering emissions arise from facilities, assets, and vehicles that the company directly manages. This category encompasses emissions resulting from various activities, including the combustion of fossil fuels in melting furnaces, leaks of refrigerant gases from air conditioning systems, and the use of fossil fuels in the corporate fleet.

The calculation of CO2 equivalent emissions, which encompasses CO2, CH4, NO2, and HFC emissions when applicable, was conducted in accordance with the guidelines of the GHG Protocol. This calculation utilised emission factors published by various reputable sources, including:

  • AIB (Association of Issuing Bodies)
  • IEA (International Energy Agency)
  • UK Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs and Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy

  • Eurostat

  • EPA (Environmental Protection Agency)

Emissions from cooling gas leakages were also included in the calculations. This figure accounts for the amount of refrigerants released into the atmosphere, as recorded in special registers during periodic refills of air conditioning systems. In cases where such records are absent or there is no evidence of gas refills throughout the year, it is assumed that all gas contained in the air conditioning systems has been released into the atmosphere as a precautionary measure.

Scope 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions refer to the indirect emissions resulting from the generation of electricity purchased by Brembo, as well as from the heating of water/steam supplied to the Group through district heating systems. Through these purchases, Brembo indirectly contributes to the emissions generated by energy or heat suppliers.

As can be seen from the table above, the market-based scope 2 values decrease over time as Brembo continues its strategy of reducing Scope 2 emissions by purchasing an increasing percentage of renewable energy certificates, aiming to cover wiht these certificates the 100% of its consumption by 2030.

The following table presents a detailed analysis of the contractual instruments used for managing greenhouse gas emissions, expressed in tonnes of CO2 equivalent (tCO2eq). The contractual instruments are divided into two main categories: unbundled instruments and bundled instruments. The table shows the emissions associated with each type of instrument, along with the percentage that each represents of the total contractual instruments used.

Brembo, where economically sustainable and feasible, prioritizes the purchase of power purchase agreements (included within the GO and IREC bundled), otherwise it uses GO certificates (for countries within the European Union) and IREC certificates.

The overall Scope 2 emissions were calculated using the market-based method, which reflects the total emissions associated with electricity consumption.

Scope 3

Scope 3 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions refer to those emissions not included in the previous categories but are nonetheless connected to Brembo's value chain. This scope comprises a total of 15 categories, of which Brembo is included 9 in its calculations.

In the calculation of Scope 3 categories, Brembo favors and uses mostly primary data; where these are not available, approximations are used, always following the indications given in the GHG Protocol. Specifically, for categories 1, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 9 of Scope 3 GHG emissions, it was necessary to rely on estimates and assumptions. These categories have a medium degree of uncertainty, primarily due to the emission factors used for quantifying category 1 and for the activity data used for categories 4,5,6,7 and 9. For the remaining categories, there is a low degree of uncertainty.

Specifically, the following methodologies were applied to Scope 3 emissions:

  • Category 1: For aluminum suppliers, calculations were based on data from the current year, while for other suppliers, data from the previous year was utilized. Emissions were estimated using primary data of 190 relevant suppliers, and secondary data for all the other suppliers of goods and services . The methodology applied is the hybrid method as listed in the Technical Guidance for Calculating Scope 3 emissions by GHG Protocol.
  • Category 2: The methodology applied is the average spend-based method as listed in the Technical Guidance for Calculating Scope 3 emissions by GHG Protocol. The figure represents the GHG emissions originated from the purchasing of new buildings, plants, machinery, industrial and commercial equipment and other assets.
  • Category 3: The calculation methodology for this category includes Well-to-Tank (WTT) emissions related to electricity, district heating, and fuels, following the GHG Protocol guidelines.
  • Categories 4, 5, 6, 7, and 9: The methodology applied is the distance-based method, as listed in the Technical

Guidance for Calculating Scope 3 emissions by GHG Protocol. Category 4 represents the amount of GHG emission produced by the transport of products between Brembo's factories and the transport of products to clients paid for by Brembo. GHG emissions were calculated starting from the kilometers covered by vehicles and the average weight transported. Category 5 also includes emissions from waste disposal, in accordance with GHG Protocol guidelines. Category 6 is related to employees' air and train travel. GHG emissions were calculated starting from the kilometers covered by each flight or train journey. For category 7 The figure is related to employees commuting from home to work and back. GHG emissions were calculated starting from the kilometers covered by each type of vehicle and category 9 represents the amount of GHG emission produced by the transport of products to clients paid by the clients. GHG emissions were calculated starting from the kilometers covered by vehicles and the average weight transported.

• Category 15: The methodology applied is the investment-specific method, as listed in the Technical Guidance for Calculating Scope 3 emissions by GHG Protocol. This amount represents the amount of GHG emission from equity investments of the reporting year, not already included in Scope 1 or Scope 2.

Categories that are not included in the Greenhouse Gas Inventory due to their low significance relative to the other categories based on the significance analysis carried out in accordance with the GHG Protocol Standard are as follows: • Category 8: In case any leased asset was used by Brembo, the tonnes CO2e are included in our Scope 1 and Scope 2 figure, since Brembo has operational

control over these assets.

E1-7 GHG REMOVALS AND GHG MITIGATION PROJECTS FINANCED THROUGH CARBON CREDITS

In order to neutralize the remaining 10% of CO2 equivalent emissions by the year 2040, the company intends to implement measures that will either permanently remove or actively support the removal of greenhouse gases (GHGs) from the atmosphere through the acquisition of carbon credits. However, it is important to note that, at present, there are no initiatives in place specifically aimed at the removal of GHGs.

At present, Brembo does not utilise an internal price for CO2 emissions. However, the Company is actively engaged in efforts to introduce carbon pricing within its business cases, with a target timeline of 1 to 2 years for implementation.

It is important to note that there are no critical assumptions made at this time to determine the carbon price applied, as the internal pricing scheme has yet to be established.

Additionally, since Brembo does not currently have an internal carbon pricing scheme in place, the disclosure regarding the consistency of the carbon price used in this scheme with the carbon price reflected in financial statements is not applicable.

E2 - POLLUTION

E2 IRO-1 DESCRIPTION OF THE PROCESSES TO IDENTIFY AND ASSESS MATERIAL POLLUTION-RELATED IMPACTS, RISKS AND OPPORTUNITIES

The double materiality assessment has led to the identification of Impacts, Risk and Opportunities related to the matter of pollution. The material IROs are listed below.

  • • Negative impact Emissions of pollutants into the air: The production processes of components for braking systems of cars, motorcycles and commercial vehicles generate polluting emissions such as carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen oxides (NOx), fine particulate matter (PM), hydrogen sulphides (H2S) and sulphur oxides (SOX) which can potentially harm the environment and human health;
  • • Negative impact Pollution of water resources: The production processes of braking systems could discharge pollutants deriving from the processing of cast iron and aluminium and/or from the painting process. These discharges may cause pollution of water resources, resulting in damage to the environment and potential risks to human health;
  • • Risk Potential regulatory non-conformity of a Brembo product: In case of a non-conformity of a product in terms of emissions, Brembo may be exposed to extra costs, refunds, fines and interruptions to the customer's business. The same exposure would occur also in the case that such non-conformity is caused by a supplied component;
  • • Risk Environmental pollution following an accidental event: In case of an accidental event (e.g. a fire) taking place at a Brembo's plant, environmental pollution may occur a consequence. In such cases, the competent authority could impose the

interruption of activities thus leading to extra costs for decontamination and potential legal liabilities;

  • • Risk Compliance with environmental and chemical regulations, and the ability to grasp changes: Increased environmental awareness and global agreements such as the Paris Climate Agreement lead to more restrictive regulations. Brembo faces the risk of not anticipating these changes, impacting operations with inefficiencies. Non-compliance, in relation with delays in authorizations, can cause production disruptions.
  • • Risk Acquisition of a company with polluted subsoil: in order to expand its business, Brembo may decide to acquire a piece of land or an already existing company. Both scenario embed the risk of acquiring a productive area with polluted subsoil. In the event this is not timely discovered through the specific due diligence, Brembo may acquire liabilities and be exposed to sanctions and penalties.

In orther to identify potential impacts, risk and opportunities related to pollution Brembo has considered all its production plants and the overall value chain as described in section ESRS 2 IRO-1 herein.

E2-1 POLICIES RELATED TO POLLUTION

The Group has a structured system of policies and procedures aimed at managing impacts, risks and opportunities related to the prevention and monitoring of pollution. The policies adopted by the Group not only aim to minimise negative impacts on the environment, but also to identify and seize potential opportunities to continuously improve its practices.

The policy and specific operating procedures related to the pollution of environmental matrices are described below:

Brembo has drawn up the "environment and energy policy", designed to manage all the main environmental issues applicable to the Company. For the full descrition of the contents and interoperability between the various environmental ESRSs, please refer to chapter E1-2.

The details of the policy relating to the matter of pollution are listed below:

With regard to pollution, Brembo is committed to mitigating the impact of its emissions, especially those due to substances of very high concern (SVHC), on all environmental matrices, with particular attention to air, soil and water. In this regard, Brembo maintains an effective monitoring and updating system of its treatment plants in accordance with the Best Available Techniques, with the challenging goal of keeping emissions well below legislative limits. In addition, thanks to the continuous research for innovative materials and technical solutions, both in terms of process and product, Brembo aims to use less impactful substances, minimising its environmental impact both in the production and use of its products.

As part of its Environmental Management System, Brembo has adopted specific procedures aimed at mitigating and preventing the pollution of environmental matrices in its production plants, and in particular:

  • The "Management of emissions into the atmosphere" procedure, which aims to establish the requirements and methods for the management and monitoring of polluting emissions generated by production processes and auxiliary activities.
  • The "Water cycle management" procedure, which aims to establish the methods for managing the integrated water cycle at Brembo sites.

• The "Management of Chemical Substances" procedure, which aims to establish a methodology for the management of chemicals used within Italian sites, ensuring compliance with national and international chemical regulations.

E2-2 ACTIONS AND RESOURCES RELATED TO POLLUTION

With regards air emissions, Brembo recognizes that pollutant emissions from its production processes may adversely affect the health of communities adjacent to its facilities and pose risks to local flora and fauna. To mitigate these impacts, Brembo has implemented an Environment and Energy Management System that establishes common requirements across all Group plants, aimed at maintaining environmental risks well below the emission limits mandated by the legislation of the countries in which it operates. Each facility has developed appropriate monitoring plans to ensure that emissions from production processes, including odorous emissions, are limited to technological thresholds. Typical parameters monitored include those emitted during melting processes (such as powders, NOx, and SOx) and those generated by mechanical processing and painting processes (powders and VOCs), with emission values governed by local legislation. To further reduce pollution risk, Brembo mandates that each emission point be equipped with abatement systems that ensure atmospheric emissions are at least 60% lower than local legislative limits. Additionally, Brembo monitors the quantity of coolants (HFC and HCFC) released into the atmosphere, calculating the corresponding CO2 equivalent impact. The scope of these actions encompasses all emission points across Brembo's facilities, ensuring that the internal requirements for abatement systems are uniformly applied.

The key actions related to air emissions are to be completed on an annual basis, with ongoing monitoring and assessment to ensure compliance and effectiveness.

In terms of water emissions, Brembo's Environment and Energy Management System also addresses water usage. The Water Management procedure establishes requirements and restrictions to ensure the rational use of water resources and protection against potential accidental contamination. These requirements are binding for all Brembo facilities, ensuring uniform application of the procedure. Specifically, in cases of potential contamination due to water discharge, the procedure mandates limits that are up to 60% lower than those set by local regulations. Consequently, all sites are required to implement appropriate measures to maintain pollutant concentrations in discharges consistently below this threshold, utilising products with lesser environmental impact or employing advanced discharge water treatment technologies. Each plant conducts a risk and opportunities assessment for processes impacting water resources, leading to mitigation actions for areas identified as high risk or with significant opportunities. Furthermore, Brembo carries out - through the World Resource Institute's (WRI) ACQUEDUCT metodology - an annual company-wide risk evaluation to assess exposure to water quality and availability risks at each Group site. As for air emission, the scope of these water management actions applies uniformly across all Brembo facilities, ensuring comprehensive adherence to the established requirements and the actions that are to be completed on an annual basis, with continuous monitoring and evaluation to uphold compliance and effectiveness.

The information related to Brembo action plan (CapEx, OpEx) has not been disclosed with regard to financial the year 2024.

E2-3 TARGETS RELATED TO POLLUTION

The target established by Brembo stipulates that pollutant concentrations in air and water discharges must be maintained at levels lower than 60% of the limits imposed by local regulations. The defined target level is absolute, measured in percentage (%), indicating the specific concentration levels to be achieved. The scope of this target encompasses all Brembo plants (direct operations) worldwide, ensuring comprehensive application across the company's activities. Performance against the disclosed targets is monitored through annual measurements to ensure compliance with pollutant thresholds in air and water. The monitoring process confirms that the targets are being met as initially planned, with ongoing analysis of trends and significant changes in performance towards achieving the established targets. The target is not mandatory, and it is not required by legislation, affirming the commitment of the company to monitor these kinds of pollutants during its processes.

This target is closely aligned with Brembo's policy objectives, reflecting the company's commitment to preserving essential environmental matrices such as water, soil, and air. As part of its Environment and Energy Management System, Brembo has implemented an Air Emission, Soil, and Water Management procedure that imposes requirements and restrictions across all Group plants to ensure sustainable use and protection against pollution. This ambitious objective is supported by a robust monitoring system for the principal pollutants resulting from production processes and the installation of treatment plants in accordance with Best Available Techniques (BAT).

The methodologies and assumptions used to define the target are based on the recognition that pollutant emissions from Brembo's production may have direct negative effects on the health of adjacent communities and local flora and fauna. The Environment and Energy Management System has introduced common requirements across all Group plants to contain environmental risks well below the emission limits provided for local legislation. Each plant has established monitoring plans to ensure that emissions generated by production processes - including odorous emissions, which are not typically covered by legislative requirements - are limited to technological thresholds. Additionally, the Water Management procedure within the Environment and Energy Management System sets stringent requirements for rational water use and protection against accidental contamination.

The targets related to environmental matters are based on conclusive scientific evidence, with values derived from precise measurements conducted at plants subject to regular or ongoing spot checks. Emissions at each plant are calculated based on these measurements, taking into account the concentration of harmful substances, mass flow, and operating time.

There has been no involvement of stakeholders in the target-setting process for these material sustainability matters and there have been no changes to the targets, corresponding metrics, or underlying measurement methodologies, significant assumptions, limitations, sources, or data collection processes within the defined time horizon.

E3 IRO-1 DESCRIPTION OF THE PROCESSES TO IDENTIFY AND ASSESS MATERIAL WATER AND MARINE RESOURCES-RELATED IMPACTS, RISKS AND OPPORTUNITIES

The double materiality assessment has led to the identification of the following impact related to the matter of water management.

• Negative impact - Scarcity of water resources, particularly in areas of water stress, caused by the consumption of water in the production process: The processes of extracting bauxite, cast iron and producing braking systems could in general contribute to reduce the availability of water, particularly in areas of water stress.

In order to understand which sites are located in areas at "Extremely High Risk" and "High Risk", Brembo carried out an analysis based on WRI Aqueduct for Baseline Water Stress and WWF Water Risk Filter tools. The result stated that the owned sites located in risky areas are the following ones:

  • 3 Mexican facilities located in the Rio Bravo river basin, Monterrey area
  • 3 Chinese facilities, two of which located along the China's East Coast and one in Yongding He river basin, Hebei region
  • 2 Indian facilities in India's East Coast and Krishna river basin
  • 1 North American facility in North Atlantic Coast river basin, New Jersey
  • 1 Italian facility in Po river basin
  • 3 Spanish facility along the South-East Coast
  • 1 Polish plant in Oder river basin

With regard to the methodologies, assumptions and tools used in identifying and assessing material impacts, risks and opportunities along Brembo's value chain, please refer to section ESRS 2 IRO-1 herein.

E3-1 POLICIES RELATED TO WATER AND MARINE RESOURCES

The Group has a structured system of policies and procedures aimed at managing the impact related to water management. The policies adopted not only aim to minimise negative impacts on the environment, but also to identify and exploit opportunities to continuously improve their practices.

Brembo has drawn up its "environment and energy policy", designed to manage all the main environmental issues applicable to the Company. Please refer to chapter E1-2 for the full description of the contents and interoperability between the various environmental ESRSs.

Brembo promotes the sustainable use of water resources along the entire value chain, with particular attention to geographical areas at water risk. The Company is committed to reducing water consumption by increasing reuse and recycling, minimising wastewater leakage and discharge. This goal is achieved through efficient water management practices, the adoption of innovative processes and the promotion of the use of alternative water sources, avoiding subtracting valuable resources from the local area. Brembo also recognizes that access to clean water and sanitation is a fundamental human right. Therefore, the Company ensures that all workers have access to WASH (water, sanitation, and hygiene) services at an appropriate level of standard, ensuring that their needs are met in a safe and sustainable manner.

E2-5 SUBSTANCES OF CONCERN AND SUBSTANCES OF VERY HIGH CONCERN

This disclosure about substances of concern aims at providing an understanding of actual or potential impacts related to such substances, also taking account of possible restrictions on their use and/or distribution and commercialization. These substances may be present in the auxiliaries and in the raw materials used in the production processes, or in the purchased articles which compose the final goods.

For the annual report 2024, Brembo acknowledges the Substances of Concern (SoC) as Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC) listed in the latest 2024 ECHA Candidate List, dated 07th November 2024, in accordance with Article 59 of the REACH Regulation applicable at the European level, Substances with a harmonized classification (Annex. VI. Part 3, CLP - Regulation 2008/1272 and its amendments) that meets the requirements for specific health and environmental hazards, and Persistent Organic Pollutants (according to POPs Regulation - Regulation 2019/1021and its amendments). Brembo is actively undertaking an analysis to identify a comprehensive list of these substances, especially for the Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC) at the group level, aiming to identify and prevent the possible impacts on environmental matrices and human health.

In light of all this, Brembo has made every effort to collect the necessary information from its suppliers to disclose the quantities of Substances of Concern (SoC) and Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC). However, as this involves third parties and pertains to 'value chain information,' it has proven to be challenging. This difficulty arises from various factors, including existing contractual arrangements, the level of control exercised over the suppliers and the geographical spread of the manufacturing. In particular, the collection of data has been particularly difficult in extra- European

countries because outside of Europe the REACH Regulation is not applicable and entities follows a different legislative framework. Moreover, the adoption of different versions of the Globally Harmonized System (GHS), instead of the EU adaptation, in these countries may lead to a significantly different hazard classification of substances This approach will require to the Company to classify all the substances at Group level by following the EU criteria, sometime modifying the suppliers' classification.

Since a European standard methodology is missing, neither at Global level, Brembo is developing its method to gather reliable and accurate data from the supply chain. Actually, the preparation of an estimation did not yield reasonable and supportable information, as Brembo is unable to consider all the variables that characterise the semi-finished products used in the finished products. Unfortunately, sector averages or market proxies that could assist in the estimation are not available at this time. Furthermore, as stated in ESRS paragraph ESRS 1 - 5.2, paragraph 72, the incorporation of estimates must not result in information that fails to meet the qualitative characteristics of reliable data.

In light of the foregoing it has not been possible to gather complete and reliable information regarding Substances of Concern and Substances of Very High Concern for the Group during this initial year of disclosure. Since this also pertains to information that needs to be collected throughout the value chain, Brembo is utilising the transitional provision outlined in ESRS 1, Article 10-2, paragraph 133(b), which permits reporting on this information starting from subsequent years.

The data collection process is currently being enhanced and will be refined for next year's disclosure, which for year current disclosed is mostly qualitative. Brembo is collaborating with its value chain partners to gather all relevant data concerning Substances of Concern and Substances of Very High Concern.

E3 - WATER AND MARINE RESOURCES

A notable example of Brembo's commitment to sustainable practices can be seen in its Mexican cast iron foundry, where a water reuse system has been built in 2024, with the objective to use an alternative source of water, in particular from the municipal wastewater treatment facility in Monterrey.

The information related to Brembo action plan (CapEx, OpEx) has not been disclosed with regard to financial the year 2024.

E3-3 TARGETS RELATED TO WATER AND MARINE RESOURCES

Brembo has established measurable outcome-oriented targets to assess progress in its sustainability efforts. The target established by Brembo centres on the measurement of water flows, aiming to translate the policy statement on the "responsible use of natural resources" into concrete actions. Specifically, the goal is for all Brembo plants to

achieve 100% measurement of water flows by 2025. The target is absolute and is expressed as a percentage of the measured flows. The scope of this target includes all Brembo activities, ensuring that precise measurements can be compared against both internal and external benchmarks and best practices. To meet this target, efforts will focus on installing meters in locations where they are currently absent and closely monitoring the installation programme to ensure successful achievement by 2025. The group has completed the installation of inlet water flow meters in all production plants as early as 2022 and will complete the installation of discharge and significant internal use meters this year. The accurate measurement can lead to potential water saving of 5-10%. No stakeholders were involved in the target-setting process, and there have been no changes to the targets or the associated metrics, methodologies, or assumptions.

where alternative water sources are necessary, particularly in plants located in high-risk water scarcity areas, and to determine the most efficient solutions for utilising these alternative sources. solutions that allow resources otherwise destined for waste to be made available again, minimising the use of virgin material.

Brembo has strategically designed its processes to avoid the need for water wherever possible. The disc machining plants have successfully transitioned to dry machining techniques, eliminating the requirement for wet cutting emulsions. Furthermore, all operations utilise closed circuit cooling systems that effectively cool the water and facilitate its recirculation multiple times. In addition to these measures, efficiency improvements have been implemented, such as installing flushing systems in toilets that reduce the volume of water used per flush. Brembo is committed to improving the management of

The water targets set by Brembo are designed to allow for the detection of any abnormal consumption during operations, thereby enabling the implementation of improvement actions aimed at reducing water usage. The target relates to the reduction of water consumption, although it is not mandatory by legislation.

Brembo has also developed and keeps constantly updated an Environmental Management System which includes the "Water cycle management" operating procedure, designed to establish the methods for managing the water cycle at all Brembo sites. In particular, the procedure addresses sustainable management of water resources in all phases of the production and auxiliary cycle, defining a process aimed at identifying water uses and consumption, determining areas of significant use and identifying opportunities for improvement. The procedure also regulates the management of pollutants in water, as reported in chapter E2-1.

Brembo has defined a strategy that promotes the rational use of water, progressively reducing its use in production processes and promoting supply from alternative sources, such as the recovery from other processes. As regards the risk of contamination of environmental matrices due to water discharge, the requirements of the procedure provides for equally stringent reuirements: the limits to be observed are up to 60% lower than those established by local regulations. As a result, all sites are required to take measures to ensure that the concentration of pollutants in the discharges consistently remains below the limits over time, for example by using products or substances with a lower impact or by adopting wastewater treatment technologies. With a view to sustainable development, Brembo is committed to understanding the environmental impact of its products and services throughout their entire life cycle, with the aim of offering the market increasingly environmentally friendly solutions, improving the environmental performance of the products a stimulus to innovation and a competitive advantage for the Company.

Furthermore, during the product design phase, Brembo adopts the concepts of circular economy to promote

water resources, particularly in areas of high water stress. These areas are identified through the use of water risk assessment tools and specific geographical analyses. Currently, Brembo operates fifteen plants located in regions classified as high water stress, all of which are governed by the Company's policies and procedures related to water management.

It is important to note that no policies or practices concerning sustainable oceans and seas have been adopted, since this aspect is not applicable to the Brembo Group's business operations.

E3-2 ACTIONS AND RESOURCES RELATED TO WATER AND MARINE RESOURCES

Brembo is committed to managing its material sustainability matters effectively, particularly in relation to water scarcity. The Company is currently exploring alternative sources of water for its plants affected by water scarcity. Most of the plants receive water from the public network to ensure continuity of supply throughout all seasons and to prevent any business interruptions due to predictable water rationing. The scope of this action is to ensure business continuity, avoid depriving the local community of fresh water, and control water costs to maintain affordability even in emergency situations. The key implementation projects are expected to be completed by 2030. Moreover, Brembo aims to identify all locations

The process of water management and monitoring is governed by common requirements outlined in the procedure "Water cycle management", which supplement the regulatory requirements specific to each country. Primary data are collected through meter readings and bills, documented by the plants, and periodically compiled in the EE Data Collection. This data is then automatically transferred to the Non-Financial Reporting (NFR) system.

Regarding recycled and reused reused water, not all plants are able to provide measurements for the volume of this water.

E4-1 TRANSITION PLAN ON BIODIVERSITY AND ECOSYSTEMS IN STRATEGY AND BUSINESS MODEL

Brembo intends to carry out a resilience analysis on its value chain (upstream) over the next 1-2 years. The Group recognizes that the extraction of raw materials can lead to deforestation and environmental pollution. Moreover, the expansion of extraction sites, along with the construction of buildings and facilities, contributes to land consumption, which may result in a loss of biodiversity. In response to these concerns, Brembo started an initial assessment of the biodiversity status in the regions where its plants are located, focusing first of all on its own operations. The aim is to identify the sites located in areas with a higher concentration of biodiversity and entailing ecosystem-related physical, transitional and systemic risks related to ecosystems, in order to implement the necessary countermeasures. The methodological approach adopted took into account the areas surrounding the Brembo's plants (in a radius between 2 and 5 km) and evaluated three different variables concerning the state of biodiversity:

    1. Land Use Categories in order to identify natural, seminatural and anthropogenic environments;
    1. The presence of species considering their conservation status according to the IUCN classification30;
    1. Areas of Ecological Interest, including protected areas, Natura 2000 sites, Ramsar sites, Important Bird Areas, national parks, etc., as required by local, regional, national and international planning tools.

The results of the analysis carried out were used for the calculation of thematic indicators, combined in order to obtain a Priority Value for Biodiversity, which allows the comparison between the sites and the identification of the level of sensitivity of the area in which they are located.

Priority Index: Pi = PTi / MaxPT

where

PTi = Variable 1i * Variable 2i * Variable 3i

PT = Total Score

i = site

After identifying the sensitivity level of the areas where the sites are located and determining which plants may have the most significant impact on biodiversity, the Group outlined the necessary actions for improvement, prevention, and mitigation. The analysis did not involve stakeholder engagement.

E4 SBM-3 MATERIAL IMPACTS, RISKS AND OPPORTUNITIES AND THEIR INTERACTION WITH STRATEGY AND BUSINESS MODEL

The Brembo Group, with the support of a specialised consultant, assessed the state of biodiversity in the areas surrounding of its plants, in order to identify the sites with the greatest presence of biodiversity and ecosystemrelated physical, transitional and systemic risks related to ecosystems, and to implement the necessary activities. Although the Group owns sites located in or near potentially sensitive areas in terms of biodiversity, the Group's preliminary analyses indicate that the presence of the plants does not adversely affect these areas: no direct material negative impacts have been identified regarding land degradation, desertification or soil sealing, or the presence of protected species.

E4 IRO-1 DESCRIPTION OF THE PROCESSES TO IDENTIFY AND ASSESS MATERIAL BIODIVERSITY AND ECOSYSTEM-RELATED IMPACTS, RISKS, DEPENDENCIES AND OPPORTUNITIES

However, Brembo is committed to

E4-2 POLICIES RELATED TO BIODIVERSITY The Group has set out its commitment to the protection and safeguarding of biodiversity in the Group's environment and energy policy, aimed at managing all the main environmental issues applicable to the Company across the board. For the extended description of the contents and interoperability between the various environmental ESRSs, please refer to chapter E1-2 policy. Specifically, within its policy, Brembo is committed to the prevention and protection of biodiversity. In this regard, Brembo assesses exposure to biodiversity risk by ensuring that the interrelationships between environmental aspects such as climate change, water and natural resource management, as well as the sustainable development of local communities, are correctly identified and managed. All sites, including Brembo has conducted a comprehensive biodiversity screening to assess key aspects of biodiversity at each of the Group's plants. This screening has provided valuable insights into land consumption, the presence of threatened animal species, and the proximity of protected areas, enabling the Company to recognise any potential risks that its activities could pose to the surrounding environment. This proactive approach allows Brembo to adopt appropriate mitigation actions where necessary. The assessment did not reveal any risk linked to biodiversity that would need the implementation of remedial actions. In light of the positive impact the Company has on biodiversity, no direct actions have been implemented to avoid, minimise or restorate negative effects. The screening was conducted in accordance with international biodiversity standards and databases, ensuring the incorporation of local knowledge as well as nature-based solutions. This included the use of resources such as Sentinel II Landcover for land use assessment, IUCN classification for the presence of species classified as at risk, and information on Natura 2000 sites, Ramsar sites, Important Bird Areas, and national parks.

E4-4 TARGETS RELATED TO BIODIVERSITY AND ECOSYSTEMS

Brembo has not established time-bound outcome-oriented targets related to biodiversity related to its own operations. This decision is primarily based on the understanding that biodiversity concerns are relevant to the upstream value chain, while they are not considered significant in relation to the company's direct operations. As a consequence of the expansion of the resilence analysis, measurable targets will be set also for upstream and downstream value chain areas in the next 1-2 years.

E4-5 IMPACT METRICS RELATED TO BIODIVERSITY AND ECOSYSTEMS CHANGE

ESRS 1 allows companies to not yet incorporate the value chain impact for certain metrics. Brembo have made use of this exemption. The value chain exemption can be applied during the first three reporting years.

E5 IRO-1 DESCRIPTION OF THE PROCESSES TO IDENTIFY AND ASSESS MATERIAL RESOURCE USE AND CIRCULAR ECONOMY-RELATED IMPACTS, RISKS AND OPPORTUNITIES

The double materiality assessment led to the identification of the following IROs, in relation to the matters of resource use and the circular economy:

  • • Positive impact Saving of primary materials by using recycled and recyclable materials: The use of scrap as the main raw materials leads to savings in virgin raw materials and incentive the circular economy, extending the life cycle of products.
  • • Negative impact Depletion of natural resources due to the use of raw materials in the production process: The production of braking systems affects the environment due to the consumption of non-renewable natural resources, such as the metals needed for manufacturing of brake discs and pads. The extraction and processing of these metals require the removal of large amounts of resources from the subsoil, leading to the depletion of mineral reserves;
  • • Negative impact Soil occupation and pollution due to non-virtuous waste management: Poor waste management of along the value chain could have a negative impact on the environment, in particular on air, water and soil. Uncontrolled waste management can cause pollution, degradation of natural resources and damage to biodiversity;
  • • Risk Unavailability of raw materials/components caused by a geopolitical situation: The unstable international geopolitical context could lead to challenges in global supply chains, thus potentially compromising the supply of raw materials for Brembo plants with consequent business interruption.

minimising the production of waste and increasing waste destined for recycling/recovery/reuse, achieving the goal of eliminating waste destined for landfill. The commitment to reducing the waste of non-renewable materials is explicitly mentioned, making the Group's commitment more concrete and encouraging the classification of waste as secondary raw materials (MSM), the replacement of raw materials of primary origin with secondary raw

In orther to identify potential impacts, risk and opportunities related to resource use and circular economy Brembo has considered all its production plants and the overall value chain as described in section ESRS 2 IRO-1 herein. E5-1 POLICIES RELATED TO RESOURCE USE AND CIRCULAR ECONOMY The Group has a structured system of policies aimed at managing the impacts, risks and opportunities related to the use of resources and the circular economy. The policies adopted by the Group not only aim to minimise negative impacts on the environment, but also to identify and exploit opportunities to continuously improve its practices. Brembo has drawn up the "environment and energy policy", designed to manage all the main environmental issues applicable to the company across the board. For a more detailed description of the contents and interoperability between the various environmental ESRSs, please refer to chapter E1-2 policy. With regard to the use of resources and the circular economy, Brembo details its line of action within its environment and energy policy, dealing with the issues of design, production and use of goods aimed at minimising impact throughout the entire life cycle, and implying the adoption of the concepts of Circular Economy. In this regard, Brembo is committed to materials, the implementation of actions to reduce waste production in all phases of the production process and the optimisation of waste management according to the "Pyramid of Waste Sources". Through its environment and energy policy, the Group also wants to ensure that the use of all environmental resources, necessary to meet its current needs, is managed responsibly so as not to damage and impoverish them for use by future generations and expresses its intention to keep the consumption of renewable resources within the limits of their replenishment. As part of its Environmental Management System, Brembo has adopted specific waste management procedures. These procedures specifically outline, at a global level, the minimum requirements for identification, characterisation, classification, collection and storage. They provide also provide for the obligation to train staff and the qualification of suppliers, with an improvement plan aimed at reducing waste in landfills and promoting the use of secondary raw materials. In addition to the global guidelines, individual specific local operating procedures have been developed that adapt the obligations of the global procedure to local areas. All operating policies and procedures allow Brembo to manage its impacts and risks relating to the use of resources and the circular economy.

E5-2 ACTIONS AND RESOURCES RELATED TO RESOURCE USE AND CIRCULAR ECONOMY

Brembo actively prevents negative material impacts and risks and fosters positive material impacts concerning resource use and circular economy (described in section IRO-1) through different actions:

  • • BY-Product Initiative: Brembo is actively exploring opportunities to offer secondary materials generated from its processes (by-products) to various internal and external stakeholders.
  • • ZWTL (Zero Waste to Landfill): In 2024, the Pune plant in India will implement a Zero Waste to Landfill program, aimed at diverting all waste produced at the facility from disposal. Waste materials will be sent to a third-party partner that will process them for use as fuel in cement production.
  • • Emulsion Treatment System: The Ostrava plant in the Czech Republic and the Czestochowa plant in Poland have developped a treatment system for emulsions—a mixture of cutting oil and water used in machining processes. This system will regenerate the emulsion for reuse in production. The cleaning process is set to begin in 2025.
  • • Secondary Materials Usage: Brembo has developed a new calliper made from recycled aluminium, with manufacturing scheduled to begin in 2025.
  • • Circularity Measurement: Brembo is working on establishing a method to assess the circularity of its operations by applying existing standards, such as UNI 11820.

All actions are designed to minimise the volume of materials sent to landfills, reduce the reliance on new materials, and enhance the circularity of Brembo's operations.

In any case, no specific time horizon has been established, as these initiatives are ongoing and integral to the product and process design.

The information related to Brembo action plan (CapEx, OpEx) has not been disclosed with regard to financial the year 2024.

E5-3 TARGETS RELATED TO RESOURCE USE AND CIRCULAR ECONOMY

To manage negative impacts and risks, Brembo has set two measurable, outcome-oriented and time-bound targets.

The first target is to direct 95% of the total waste produced towards recovery processes by 2030 encouraging all plants to divert waste from landfills, reduce the extraction of new raw materials, and promote a more responsible use of resources. In particular, the target relates to waste management and the correlated actions aim to identify alternative solutions to landfill disposal while also exploring opportunities to offer materials as by-products to other entities. It is directly aligned with the objectives of Brembo's environment and energy policy and applies to all plants within the Brembo Group, excluding upstream and downstream operations. It is a relative target measured as the percentage of waste directed towards recovery processes, calculated by dividing the waste sent for recovery by the total waste produced. The base year for measuring progress is 2022, during which the baseline value indicated that 85% of the total waste produced was directed towards recovery processes. Moreover, there is an intermediate target for 2025 set at 90%.

In terms of methodologies and key assumptions, the target was established in alignment with the 5R perspective, where each "R" represents a potential area of action: Refuse, Reduce, Reuse, Repurpose, and Recycle. Its aim is to facilitate the practical implementation of a circular economy approach, as outlined by the EU Circular Economy Framework and relates to the other recovery stage of the waste hierarchy. Moreover, it was not set following conclusive scientific evidence, and only internal stakeholders have been involved in its definition. Since the adoption of the target, no changes have been made and the actual performance is in line with the defined target.

Brembo waste management is globally defined to comply with the local legislation and to facilitate the possibility to divert waste from landfill.

The second target focuses on keeping keeping the percentage of hazardous waste produced over the years below 5%. This target as well is directly aligned with the objectives of Brembo's environment and energy policy and applies to all plants within the Brembo Group. It is a relative target expressed as the percentage of hazardous waste produced in relation to the total waste produced. The base year for measuring progress is 2022. The target has not been following conclusive scientific evidence, and only internal stakeholders have been involved in its definition. Since the adoption of the target, no changes have been made and the actual performance is in line with the defined one.

The target relates to the increase of circular material use rate and waste management. In fact, reducing the hazardous nature of waste may facilitate the recovery process and enhance the likelihood of third parties being interested in receiving the material as a by-product.

Moreover, it refers to the recycling stage of the waste hierarchy.

Both the targets are on a voluntary basis and not mandatory (not required by legislation).

E5-4 RESOURCE INFLOWS

The Group relies on the contribution of more than 6,600 businesses located in more than 15 countries throughout the world that provide essential goods and services for Brembo's industrial processes. The main raw materials purchased by the Group procures to make its products are ferrous scrap and aluminium ingots, which are used in foundries and then to manufacture discs and callipers. Brake discs are made from cast iron, mainly derived from recycled material originating from the ferrous scrap recovery chain or mechanical processing scrap.

Currently, Brembo favours primary aluminium in producing its callipers. However, in 2023, the Group started to progressively introduce the use of recycled in selected plants, increasing its share from 5% in 2023 to 18% in 2024 at a global level. As part of its ongoing efforts to increase the use of recycled materials, Brembo will extend the use of recycled to additional plants in 2025.

Furthermore, 88.84% of raw materials31 for Brembo's own cast iron foundries — and used to manufacture the main organization's main products — is recycled and consists of ferrous and cast-iron scrap.

For Brembo's internal cast iron foundries, the recycled material content is directly measured by weight, based

31 The total input recycled materials is 714,366 tonnes.

on the bill of materials for Brembo's products. For aluminium, the percentage of recycled content is defined within Brembo's specifications and requirements towards suppliers and recorded through their self-declarations.

In addition to raw materials, Brembo also procures a range of finished and semi-finished components, including seals, pads, small parts, chemical products and packaging materials such as cardboard and plastic, used for product packaging and distribution. Brembo is fostering the use of recycled inputs from its suppliers in the materials it procures for component production. For instance, in the highly CO₂-intensive aluminium bar supply chain, the input material contains around 59% recycled content.

Even though Brembo is increasing the percentage of recycled materials used in its production process, the company does not currently purchase recycled or certified

biological materials, such as paper, cardboard, or wood, which are, however, not used as direct production inputs. Since 2023, Brembo has been gathering data from a selected group of key suppliers to assess water usage and management in its upstream value chain. This includes information on the volume of water withdrawn, the specific sources of withdrawal, the quantity of water discharged, and the respective discharge destinations. This initiative is part of Brembo's ongoing efforts to gain deeper insights into water resource consumption across its upstream value chain, with the goal of optimizing water usage and minimizing environmental impact throughout its operations.

E5-5 RESOURCE OUTFLOWS

As previously stated, the main products and materials resulting from come out of Brembo's production process are discs and callipers. For some time now, Brembo has been working to apply circular economy principles to such products by using recycled raw materials or scrap that can now reach up to 90% of scraps as raw materials. The design process always considers product durability, which is continuously improved. For example, consumable components such as discs are now designed to have a lifespan equivalent to that of the vehicle itself.

This is achieved by using special coatings or materials that extend the useful life of the parts. However, concepts such as reusability, repairability, and remanufacturing are concepts not yet applicable to Brembo's products as they are subject to strict safety requirements and must comply with the highest homologation standards, which thus hinders such practices.

As such the expected durability of Brembo's products compared to the industry average is expected to be completely aligned so that the Group's callipers, discs and pads last as long as the market average.

Considering that both aluminium and cast iron are infinitely recyclable, and that they constitute the main raw material sourced by Brembo, the rate of recyclable content in Brembo's products is very high: 91.89% which means that Brembo's products can be almost entirely recycled. Packaging is not included in this computation.

To calculate the percentage in question, all recyclable materials (cast iron and alluminum) used as inputs in the production of finished products were considered and compared with the total amount of materials utilized.

The data were extracted directly from the company's collection systems, ensuring the use of primary information.

The table below illustrates the most representative waste categories of Brembo's production processes. Wastes not falling into these categories are aggregated under "other waste" items.

S1 SBM-3 OWN WORKFORCE IMPACTS, RISKS AND OPPORTUNITIES AND THEIR INTERACTION WITH STRATEGY AND BUSINESS MODEL

In the scope of this disclosure Brembo includes all individuals in its own workforce who may be materially affected by the company. This are all Brembo Group direct employees and two categories of non-employees: interns and temporary workers.

The double materiality assessment has led to the identification the Group's workforce related impact, risks and opportunities:

  • • Positive impact Development of skills and knowhow through specific training activities: The Group significantly invests in employee training, delivering numerous hours of training on technical skills and competences, organizational behaviours, health and safety, and the culture of diversity, equity, and inclusion, thereby enhancing people development and growth.
  • • Negative impact Potential injuries and/or occupational diseases of workers: The activities for the manufacturing of braking systems, particularly in production plants, expose workers to risks of workplace accidents and/or occupational diseases.
  • • Negative impact Violation of human rights, failure to respect equal opportunities in the workplace, failure to protect employees wellbeing: In case of non-compliance to Group practices, policies and codes (e.g. Code of Ethics, code of basic working conditions, policy on non-discrimination and diversity) there is a risk of a negative impact on both employees and nonemployees on topics such as discrimination and denial of fair treatment, remuneration, benefits.

• Negative impact - Breach of privacy and loss of sensitive employee data: A potential failure of digital security systems can expose the Group to data breaches and cyberattacks, potentially causing privacy violations and loss of sensitive employee data.

• Risk - employees' health and safety: Reputational and operational risks for the Group, associated with the occurrence of incidents in the workplace.

  • • Risk potential negative outcome from sustainability audits conducted by clients: Negative results in clients' audits regarding sustainability aspects (including human rights, health and safety, diversity and inclusion) pose a risk for Brembo, as it may impact client relationships leading to a reduction or termination of the partnership.
  • • Risk cyberattack causing system unavailability, information loss, and extortion: The loss of sensitive employee data following a cyberattack is a potential risk for Brembo from a reputational and financial perspective, leading to costs for compensation, legal actions, and restoration of IT system restoration, where necessary.

Following the implementation of a transition plan to reduce negative environmental impacts or to reduce Green House Gases emissions, the Group has not identified any material impacts on its own workforce.

The materiality assessment carried out by the Group took into account the entire Brembo workforce. Brembo has not identified any specific category among its employees and non-employees who are more subject to risks than others or exposed to specific vulnerabilities, human rights violations, including forced labour and child labour, these have been identified as higher risk in the group's production phases (compared to administrative, commercial, and research and development activities) and in non-European countries such as China and Mexico.

As for the methodologies, assumptions, and tools used in identifying and assessing the impacts, risks, and relevant opportunities along the Group's value chain, please refer to section ESRS 2 IRO-1 herein.

Brembo acknowledges the importance of its workforce within its business model and is committed to managing the associated impacts, risks, and opportunities. Operating in an international and multicultural context, the Group emphasizes the value of diversity as a key asset, investing in projects and initiatives that promote awareness and strengthen the culture of diversity, equity, and inclusion.

The company expects all its employees, collaborators, agents, business partners, and other stakeholders to operate for Brembo and participate in Brembo's projects, processes, events, or activities, establishing and maintaining a discrimination-free environment.

Brembo is committed to ensuring remedial measures in case of negative impacts on human rights, offering reporting channels such as the Legality Whistleblowing web platform and the Legality Whistleblowing mobile app. For reports related to other Brembo Group companies, the whistleblower can choose to send the report to the Parent company or to the local internal channel governed by a specific procedure, if available. The reporting procedure, available on the platform, outlines the methods for handling reports and the protections in place to ensure the safety of the whistleblower, prevent any form of reprisal. People & Organization (P&O) Managers of the People & Organization Global Central Function, present in the various organizational areas, are available to employees for any needs in this matter.

Brembo has made the safeguarding of occupational health and safety a key principle of its activity and its way of doing business. Legislative compliance and adherence to applicable requirements are a prerequisite for safe and healthy working conditions. The health and safety policy set forth is consistent with the more general Brembo Vision and expresses the desire for Brembo to be recognized as a trusted partner, appreciated by all stakeholders. Actions such as a structured prevention activity, a careful identification of hazards, a thorough assessment of opportunities and risks leading to action plans that allow for continuous improvement of performance, illustrate Brembo's commitment to ensuring safe and healthy workplaces for workers and other stakeholders. Brembo's primary objective of preventing the occurrence of accidents or work-related illnesses can be achieved by sharing responsibility for the implementation, maintenance and improvement of the Occupational Health and Safety Management System within the entire company's organization, to which everyone can contribute according to their own powers

and responsibilities. At the same time, the Management System is the tool used by Brembo to continuously seize opportunities for improvement and set new and more challenging objectives. The policy establishes a comprehensive framework for ensuring the health and safety of workers. It delegates the formalization of specific operational aspects, such as emergency plans and specific risks, to additional resources like Group guidelines and site procedures and instructions. To facilitate understanding and promote widespread dissemination, the policy, along with the guidelines and site procedures and instructions, is translated into local languages.

Regarding the issue of non-discrimination and diversity, the Group has adopted the policy on non-discrimination and diversity. Please refer to paragraph S1-1. This policy aims to maintain a work environment based on respect and actively commits to combating all forms of discrimination.

S1-2 PROCESSES FOR ENGAGING WITH OWN WORKERS AND WORKERS' REPRESENTATIVES ABOUT IMPACTS

Over the years, Brembo has established an active and ongoing dialogue with its internal stakeholders, grounded in the values of transparency, trust, and consensus in decision-making. This dialogue enables the Group to gain valuable insights into the relevant context and receive feedback on its operations, allowing for continuous improvement of the Company's impact both internally and externally. The main tools for engaging its workforce are: Brembo global engagement survey (GES) and the pulse survey, industrial relations, internal communication channels and campaigns, town hall meetings, engagement with regard to the Group's objectives and performance and the whistleblowing channel.

More in detail, the GES conducted every three years, involves all Group employees. The next GES is scheduled for the end of March 2025 to gather workforce perceptions. It will be followed by a thorough analysis and dissemination of the results to all employees. Based on these results, action plans will be developed and implemented to improve the identified areas. The pulse survey is a quick ad-hoc survey to assess improvements between the different GES cycles. It focuses on specific organizational areas and/or countries and assesses action plans' effectiveness. The operational responsibility for ensuring effective engagement with the workforce lies with the P&O GCF.

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

Brembo adopts a responsible approach in managing remedies for any material negative impacts on its employees that it has caused or contributed to. The remediation process aims to ensure that the measures taken effectively address the needs of the affected workers. The actions undertaken are evaluated with the objective of verifying that the implemented solutions have indeed resolved the identified issues. In this way, the Group ensures that the remedies provided are adequate and consistent with its social responsibility standards. Given the organizational model the company has adopted worldwide, the competent P&O Managers within the People & Organization GCF, allocated in the various organizational areas (Plants, Countries, Global Business Units, Global Central Functions) remain at the disposal of employees for any type of process-related need. Following any contact, a hierarchical escalation is activated, where necessary, leading up to the periodic People & Organization meetings among Chief People & Organization Officer, CEO and Executive Chairman, as provided in the annual Brembo Committee System. This document defines the system of meetings and committees that regulate the exchange of information and decisions within the Group, in full compliance with the variety of organizational dimensions that distinguish it (Businesses, Functions, Geographies), thus providing a structured and formalized sequence of meetings (Regional / Country Committees, Global Business Units, Global Central Functions) in which, if necessary, specific urgent and critical issues are properly addressed.

Regarding health & safety topics, Brembo provides remedies in case of potential injuries and/or occupational diseases of workers through Occupational Health & Safety Management System described in details in section S1-1.

Brembo workforce can raise concerns or needs directly mainly through the internal whistleblowing channel, described in detail in section. The management and resolution of the governance received through the channel are regulated by the whistleblowing procedure, which is published on the Company's website. In the case of data breaches within the EU Subsidiaries, subject to GDPR rules, Brembo's management of personal data breaches policy applies. It outlines the responsibilities and procedures to ensure that such For the exercise of the rights provided for by the GDPR (Articles 15-21 GDPR) each data subject (employee or any third party) can contact the DPO by contacting the Company at its address or sending an email to the specific e-mail addresses indicated in the privacy notices, broken down by the different Brembo Group's geographical areas. These email addresses are periodically checked by the DPO and the authorized Reference Person for each geographical area. The DPO is immediately activated in order to allow Brembo to manage the request and to reply

Brembo maintains a register where all data breaches and

S1-4 TAKING ACTION ON MATERIAL IMPACTS, RISKS OPPORTUNITIES ON OWN WORKFORCE

Brembo actively prevents negative material impacts and risks and fosters positive material impacts concerning its own workforce (as described in the section S1-SBM3) through different actions. The first set of actions concerns to human rights which

affects employment practices, health and safety, security and work environment, labour relations and the treatment of vulnerable groups and minorities. Brembo has proactively identified and implemented specific processes to mitigate the impacts and risks of human rights violations in these areas. Non-compliance can lead to serious human rights infringements, resulting in significant consequences for affected individuals and communities, such as loss of freedom or degrading treatment, as well as potential repercussions for the Brembo Group, including reputational damage, sanctions, and loss of business.

Current mitigation actions:

  • Adoption of a global code of basic working conditions
  • Implementation of anti-slavery and anti-bribery statements and protocols
  • Mandatory training for new employees on Code of Ethics
  • Conducting Responsible Business Alliance (RBA) audits
  • Regular self-assessment of the code of basic working conditions

Highlights Report Statement Governance Statements

• A three-year audit plan by the Internal Audit GCF with an emphasis on human rights.

Furthermore, Brembo implemented a series of actions related to the training of own workforce. The current trend in technological innovation entails the use of automation, data analytics, artificial intelligence, software, and electronics across various company processes, both in manufacturing and nonmanufacturing sectors. A potential delay in updating workforce skills could adversely affect processes, projects, and business development. For these reasons, Brembo provides to its own workforce several hours of training to ensure adequate human capital development.

Current mitigation actions:

  • Strict and regular performance management system
  • Talent Management System and Succession Planning
  • Continuous improvement and enhancement of training and development offer managed by Brembo Academy to further support skill development and training initiatives, ensuring a competitive and innovative workforce prepared for future challenges.
  • Internal R&D and Manufacturing Academies to disseminate knowledge within the Group
  • Ongoing training for blue collars in Italy with the aim of promoting Industry 4.0 culture across all company levels (Life-Long Learning Hub)
  • Campaign-driven skill mapping and assessment for functions/areas to develop and prioritize existing skill gap
  • Partnerships in place with local universities, schools, research & development centres to develop specific courses on emerging trends.

Among the various actions adopted by the Group to address its impacts and risks, there are initiatives aimed at enhancing the wellbeing of its employees.

The wellbeing of Brembo employees is crucial for fostering a safe, positive, and productive working environment and ensure productivity.

Over the years Brembo has adopted remote work for different workforce categories and geographies in accordance with local laws and best practices balancing employees' flexibility and accountability, preserving the Company's culture and fostering a sense of belonging.

Current mitigation actions:

  • Monitoring the implementation of the action plans derived from the last GES.
  • Continuously tracking competitors in the labour market to evaluate Brembo's positioning on hybrid work.
  • Maintaining and updating Brembo's hybrid work policies and procedures to ensure alignment with best practices.

Future mitigation actions:

• Conducting a new GES in 2025, followed by action plans and periodic pulse surveys.

To enhance employee wellbeing Brembo offered during 2024 several initiatives:

  • "Brembo for You" and "Brembo for Family" conferences to promote health and wellbeing.
  • Nutrition education desk.
  • Psychological support helpdesk.
  • Breast cancer prevention campaigns for women.
  • Executive health check-ups.
  • Managerial training programmes (e.g., training on unconscious bias, wellbeing, DEI).
  • "Brembo Kids" programmes.
  • Brembo sustainability week prioritizing eco-friendly practices and sustainable growth.

Company seniority award.
-------------------------------

• Scholarships award to deserving employees and children of employees.

Future mitigation actions:

  • Implementation of DEI initiatives aligned with the strategic plan for gender equality.
  • Enhance "Brembo for You" conference with topics like financial awareness, inclusive mindset, digital wellbeing.
  • Organization wider team sport events.
  • Celebrate environment days (e.g. food and used clothing collection).
  • Celebrate culture days.

With regard to diversity, equity and inclusion, pursuant to best practice provision of the Dutch Corporate Governance Code (DCGC), Brembo defined its relevant diversity targets and achievements for which to report annually to the Dutch Social and Economic Council ("Sociaal Economische Raad" - SER). These diversity targets encompass the composition of the Board , as well as that of the Management but also other DEI aspects.

Current Mitigation actions:

  • Brembo policy on non-discrimination and diversity that incorporates specific DEI targets published in July 2024.
  • Establishment of a DEI committee to monitor D&I projects and track progress toward gender equality – related target achievement.
  • Development of a DEI management system in accordance with established standards.
  • Achieving Italian Gender Equality Certification (UNI/PdR 125:2022) for Brembo N.V.

Future mitigation actions:

• Maintain the Italian Gender Equality Certification to

further enhance diversity efforts.

Regarding the risk related to sustainability audits, Brembo adopts and is certified according to international standards in management systems (ISO) on Quality, Environment & Energy, Health & Safety and related audits are carried out by third-party auditors. In addition, Brembo plants carry out periodic self-assessments on Sustainability topics, coordinated by Sustainability&Risk GCF; this process facilitates the monitoring of Sustainability topics at local level, collecting updated information.

In relation to cyber-attack, Brembo is strongly motivated to protect this data as well, and for years now has implemented an information security management system, in line with the best market practices. This commitment is also underscored by the fact that, once again, all eligible plants have confirmed the ISO 27001 certification (Information Security Management System).

It is crucial for Brembo to ensure a safe working environment for its employees by reducing safety risks and minimising the incidence of work-related health issues. This objective is pursued through a combination of safety training and communication initiatives, along with the research and implementation of automation to minimise man-machine interactions wherever feasible.

Current mitigation actions:

  • • Safety Communication Campaign: To stimulate awareness and recognition of the importance of promptly reporting Near Misses and unsafe behaviors. In 2025, the campaign will begin at the Italian facilities and will subsequently extend to foreign sites.
  • • Testing of Innovative Safety Support Systems: In 2024, the system was analyzed and designed, and in the first half of 2025, a Proof of Concept (POC) will

1. 2. 3. Corporate 5.
Corporate Directors' Sustainability 4. Financial
Highlights Report Statement Governance Statements

be conducted to experiment with the use of artificial intelligence as a preventive tool for accidents and hazardous situations.

  • • Initiatives for Highly Dangerous Activities: Throughout 2024, workshops were held in all regions aimed at regulating and raising awareness among the operational structures of Brembo plants to reduce risks associated with occasional and high-risk work (maintenance activities, hot work, confined spaces, etc.). Additionally, the groundwork was laid for the digitization of permits related to such activities and the standardization of risk assessment.
  • • WCM Safety Pillar: To reinforce the continuous improvement process, the development of the WCM methodology was promoted in all facilities in 2024. In almost all plants, the application has expanded from a few model areas to a broader implementation, which will see further expansion in 2025. WCM is the programme launched in 2022 focused on designing continuous improvement standard methodology for the whole industrial footprint. The method is based on Lean Manufacturing system but tailored on specific Brembo needs.
  • • Automation: The health and safety department has contributed to the investment process for automation, which significantly impacts the improvement of the risk profile of our factories. Each operation has its own fiveyear investment plan.
  • • Ergonomics: To address ergonomic risks, and thus injuries and potential occupational diseases, innovative initiatives were pursued in 2024 regarding the introduction of ergonomic criteria during the design phase of production lines, which will continue in 2025, along with initiatives to study the feasibility of introducing exoskeletons.

Even though this action plan requires significant operational expenditures (Opex) and capital expenditures (Capex), as of today this information is not available with the proper level of accuracy.

Brembo employs communication and automation as key strategies to mitigate the negative impacts of "work-related accidents and illnesses of workers due to inadequate working conditions", as well as to address the risk "Risk related to sustainability audits conducted by clients, with a potential negative result carried out by customers". The effectiveness of Brembo's initiatives is evaluated through internal and external audits, risk assessments, and the monitoring of incident rates, which are expected to decline alongside effective training. To identify the necessary actions in response to the potential negative impact of work-related accidents and illnesses, Brembo uses various tools, including top-down risk analysis, plant risk assessments, and the analysis of accident and near-miss trends. The Group also values the direct input of its employees by facilitating consultations and participation through health and safety committees, while considering audit results and benchmarking against action plans. Brembo is committed to ensuring that its practices do not cause or contribute to material negative impacts on its workforce by conducting periodic risk assessments focused on employee safety.

Human resources, financial resources, technological resources (BAT) are allocated to the management of Brembo's material impacts. In particular:

  • Human Resources: Each facility allocates specific human resources to safety, with one person dedicated full-time and the entire team working to enhance the safety of machines and equipment.
  • Financial Resources: All investments made also include

a component aimed at improving the safety of new machines and equipment.

Moreover, each facility conducts an annual risk analysis to identify areas for improvement, with the goal of reducing the likelihood and/or impact of potential events.

The information related to Brembo action plan (CapEx, OpEx) has not been disclosed with regard to financial the year 2024.

S1-5 TARGETS RELATED TO MATERIAL IMPACTS, RISKS OPPORTUNITIES ON OWN WORKFORCE

Brembo has established several measurable, outcomeoriented, and time-bound targets to effectively manage negative impacts and risks while promoting positive outcomes.Brembo to managing negative impacts and risks, and advancing positive impacts has set several measurable, outcome-oriented and time-bound targets.

The Group is committed to achieving the following Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) targets regarding gender representation32 within the organization:

    1. Executive Directors of the Board of Directors: aim for at least 25% representation of each gender upon the renewal of the Board of Directors in 2026.
    1. Non-Executive Directors of the Board of Directors: strive for at least 40% representation of each gender upon the renewal of the Board of Directors in 2026.
    1. Management Cluster (Executives and Managers at Group Level): target more than 20% representation of each gender by the end of 2028.

32 Female / Male, in compliance with both Dutch law and the Dutch Corporate Governance Code.

There are also additional DEI targets focused on promoting diversity and inclusion across Brembo's three main axes: gender, generation, and cultural background. They will be achieved through the implementation of relevant projects and initiatives for both the Group and local communities:

  • a. Implementation of at least five initiatives per year: unit of measurement is the number of initiatives, base year is 2022 and baseline value was five initiatives.
  • b. Promoting the renewal and delivery of training by overcoming unconscious prejudices (unconscious biases), and stereotypes fostering an inclusive working environment. The target is year on year and the goal is to enrich with pills dedicated to unconscious biases the 100% management training courses at a Group level.
  • c. Ensuring that employees remain strongly motivated to participate in company life through extensive participation in the global engagement survey. The target is relative, and the goal is to ensure a response rate of at least 74% at the Group level in the next GES. Unit of measurement is the percentage of responses received, base year is 2021 and baseline value was 78%.
  • d. Maintaining a high level of engagement, measured through the GES and ad-hoc pulse surveys. The target is relative, and its goal is to ensure an Engagement Index of at least 65% by the beginning of 2025 at the Group level. The target is relative, and the unit of measurement is the percentage of the Engagement Index. The base year is 2021 and the baseline value was 66%.

All these targets are in line with the objects of the policy on non-discrimination adn diversity. Furthermore, Brembo did not engage directly with its workforce or workers' representatives in the process of defining the targets, monitoring performance against them, or identifying improvements resulting from that performance.

S1-14 HEALTH AND SAFETY METRICS

At Brembo, 94% of employees and interns are covered by a health and safety management system, with this percentage increasing to 97.65% for temporary workers.

No fatalities were reported in 2024, neither from workrelated injuries nor from work-related ill health. On the other hand, Brembo recorded a total of 77 work-related accidents: 64 involving its own employees and 13 involving temporary workers. Considering the total number of employees and hours worked, the overall rate of recordable work-related accidents is 2.33.

In 2024, there were 8 cases of recordable work-related ill health. The combination of ill health and work-related injuries and accidents36 resulted in 3,876 days lost for employees and 242 days lost for non-employees. No cases of recordable work-related ill health were detected among former employees.

36 The estimate made for the division of hours worked between men and women is based solely on the data from December, as is done every year. Therefore, it is important to note that slight deviations may occur if the data were considered on a monthly basis rather than using the consolidated percentage from December.

S1-9 DIVERSITY METRICS

Brembo's top management, defined as the number of executives and managers within the Group, consists of 770 individuals, including 633 males and 137 females. This indicates that females account for 17.8% of Brembo's top management, while males account for the remaining 82.2%.

S1-16 REMUNERATION METRICS (PAY GAP AND TOTAL REMUNERATION) – GENERAL

GENDER PAY GAP

Brembo usually monitors both synchronous phenomena (such as the gender pay gap) and diachronic phenomena (such as the internal labor market map). When addressing the gender pay gap, it is also important to consider Brembo's sector, which is highly male-dominant with many job profiles in STEM fields, whose university curricula are still predominantly male-dominant.

The Group's diversity initiatives aim to balance gender representation in leadership and throughout the organization, and to achieve pay equity for equal qualifications and jobs. While Brembo uphold the principle of equal pay for equal work, it is important to note that the overall figures may be influenced by gender characteristics in the sector.

Brembo is dedicated to improving data and analyses to better understand gender pay differences and their root causes. The company is preparing for the EU pay transparency directive and continuously working on identifying and reducing pay gaps within the organization. Brembo is also finalizing a standard job architecture to address inequality and minimize structural differences.

In Brembo, the gender pay gap, defined as the difference in average pay levels between male and female employees expressed as a percentage of the average pay level of male employees, stands at 2.38% at Group level.

ANNUAL TOTAL REMUNERATION RATIO

The annual total remuneration ratio is calculated by considering the ratio between the annual total remuneration for the Group's highest paid individual and the median employee annual total remuneration (excluding the highest – paid individual).

It differs from the internal pay ratio indicated in the remuneration report section (paragraph 4.5 e 4.6) because of the different calculation method.

This indicates that, on average, male employees earn 2.38% more than their female counterparts at a global level and the final percentage is calculated according to the ESRS requirements as it follows: (average gross hourly pay level of male employees – average gross hourly pay level of female employees) divided by the average gross hourly pay level of male employees. The value of annual total remuneration ratio calculated according to ESRS standards and taking into consideration the Group employees (median) as of 31 December, is equal to 185.52. S1-17 INCIDENTS, COMPLAINTS

Brembo has chosen to present the annual total remuneration ratio based primarily on the number of employees at Brembo N.V. that stands at 104,28. Brembo is a multinational company operating across three continents and multiple countries, each with varying cost of living standards, remuneration frameworks, and social contribution and taxation implications.

Including all employees within the Brembo Group to represent the annual total remuneration ratio would not accurately reflect, from a methodological perspective, the average pay and working conditions of its workforce. This is due to the fact that it would involve an excessively diverse set of incomparable elements as the denominator.

AND SEVERE HUMAN RIGHTS IMPACTS –GENERAL

In 2024, Brembo did not report any incidents of discrimination, harassment, or severe human rights violations. However, there were 14 complaints were submitted through the company's whistleblowing channels for employees to raise concerns, with none reported to the National Contact Points for OECD Multinational Enterprises. As a result, Brembo did not incur any fines, penalties, or compensation for damages.

S2 SBM-3 WORKERS IN THE VALUE CHAIN IMPACTS, RISKS AND OPPORTUNITIES AND THEIR INTERACTION WITH STRATEGY AND BUSINESS MODEL

The double materiality assessment has led to the identification of the Impacts, Risk and Opportunities related to the matter of the value chain's workers of the Group.

  • • Positive impact Transparency and supply chain involvement in sustainable practices through monitoring and training programmes: Brembo positively contributes to the development of a sustainable supply chain in the automotive sector through the selection and engagement of its suppliers on environmental and social criteria. This method of involvement is aimed at enhancing suppliers' adoption of the best available practices, reducing their environmental and social impacts.
  • • Negative impact Workers' injuries and/or occupational diseases: Inadequate working conditions along the upstream and downstream Group Value Chain can lead to client/supplier workers' injuries or occupational diseases, including physical harm from unsafe machinery, chronic health issues, and mental health problems due to stress and unsafe workplace environments.
  • • Negative impact Violation of human rights: Along the complex and geographically dispersed value chain of the Group, in case of lack of monitoring of human rights compliance, improper labour practices and violations of workers' rights may occur, in particular during the phases of primary materials production and in certain specific geographies where Brembo's suppliers are located (e.g. Asia and Central America).

  • • Negative impact Failure to respect equal opportunities in the workplace: in the event that suppliers do not implement adequate practices to guarantee equal opportunities, diversity and inclusion within their workforce, their employees may be exposed to discrimination based, inter alia, on gender, ethnicity, religion, disability, or sexual orientation.
  • • Risk Suppliers' compliance with Brembo's "sustainable procurement policy": If Brembo's suppliers do not adhere to the environmental standards and working conditions established by the sustainable procurement policy, they may be deemed unsuitable for the supply relationship. Such scenario would also represent a risk for Brembo's reputation and business continuity.
  • • Risk Cyberattack causing the unavailability of systems, the loss of information and extortion: the loss of sensitive supplier's data following a cyberattack is a potential risk for Brembo from a reputational and financial perspective, leading to extra costs for compensation, legal actions, and restoration of IT systems.

The Impacts, Risks and Opportunities reported above are mainly related to the upstream phase of the value chain, in particular to raw material suppliers (raw material extraction and processing phase).

With regard to the methodologies, assumptions and tools used in identifying and assessing material impacts, risks and opportunities along Brembo's value chain, please refer to section ESRS 2 IRO-1 herein.

Brembo considers the relationship with its value chain and its workers an important moment for dialogue and a mutual opportunity for growth and enrichment. In this sense, the Group's strategy provides for an increasing involvement of customers and suppliers with a community For information on how interest, views and rights of Brembo's stakeholders inform its strategy and business model please refer to ESRS 2 SBM-2 (General Disclosure).

perspective, as well as a synergistic contamination of skills and best practices. For this reason, Brembo is committed to prioritizing a local supply chain and selecting suppliers based on sustainability criteria, including safe workplaces and human rights. On the other hand, workers in the downstream phases, include mainly automotive manufacturers, downstream logistics services, and recovery and disposal activities. It should also be noted that the employees of Brembo's joint venture, which is a strategic supplier, are included.

Workers in Brembo's value chain are divided into those in the upstream phases and those in the downstream phases. In particular, workers in the upstream phase are those involved in the production of direct and indirect materials (e.g. raw materials, components, utilities, tools, packaging) and services (e.g. painting, treatments, maintenance, logistics). The Group has a structured system of policies and codes aimed at managing the impacts, risks and opportunities related to its value chain's workers. The policies adopted by the Group not only aim to minimise risks and negative impacts on workers in the value chain, but also to identify and exploit opportunities to continuously improve its practices.

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

As already mentioned in the previous paragraphs, the methods of involvement and interaction with the workers in the value chain are addressed by the stakeholder engagement policy, and specifically for suppliers, also by the sustainable procurement policy, where the Group's commitment to creating a long-lasting relationship clearly emerges.

Engaging workers in the value chain is a fundamental element for Brembo for a process of mutual improvement.

In this regard for example, Brembo takes into account the perspectives of workers in the upstream value chain through supplier on-site Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) audits. These assessments are conducted by a third-party auditor and include anonymous interviews with workers at the supplier companies37 , ensuring that their perspectives are taken into account in evaluating these companies' compliance with ethical and responsible business standards. The objective of these audits is to identify critical issues related to working conditions, compensation, working hours, health, safety, and environmental practices, while providing Brembo with clear visibility into any non-conformities raised by workers in the supply chain. They serve as a valuable channel for gathering workers' input and concerns, allowing Brembo to effectively address and manage both actual and potential impacts on labor conditions within the supply chain.

  • Daily activities and reports of the Purchasing GCF
  • A supplier Engagement Survey on the importance of material issues for Brembo
  • A conflict Minerals Engagement Survey for the annual supplier survey of conflict minerals use
  • Training for Purchasing GCF on Corporate Social

The channels for listening and engaging with suppliers include: evaluating the actual or potential impacts that Brembo may generate on them. For information on the methods of engagement, please refer to chapter ESRS 2.

The effectiveness of the engagement mechanisms in place with regard to workers in the supply chain is assessed by observing improvements in sustainability assessment scores.

In addition, Brembo also has a whistleblowing mechanism in place to receive and manage reports from suppliers' and other value chain workers, allowing them to report any human rights violations. Brembo guarantees the confidentiality of the identity of those who report in good faith. Suppliers' workers are also involved annually in the process of identifying and

These various forms of engagement could take place any time during the duration of the supplier's contract and could occur directly with the workers in the value chain, with their legitimate representatives, or through a system of delegations, depending on specific needs. The Chief Purchasing Officer has operational responsibility for ensuring that the engagement with the supplier is implemented correctly and transparently, and that In accordance with its dedicated policies, Brembo adopts a responsible approach in managing remedies for material potential adverse impacts on workers in the value chain that it has caused or contributed to, and that were identified by the Group through the engagement methods described in the previous paragraph. The effectiveness of the remedies is assessed through direct contact with the concerned stakeholders and the related follow-ups, with the aim of verifying that the solutions implemented have effectively solved the issues identified. In this way, the Group ensures that the remedies provided are adequate and consistent with its social

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

As outlined in the sustainable procurement policy, for example, Brembo remediation process requires suppliers to develop and implement a Corrective Action Plan in response to any identified non-compliance. To ensure the effectiveness of these measures, Brembo conducts followup audits to verify that any issues or concerns from workers in the supply chain have been appropriately addressed and resolved. If the supplier violates the principles outlined within the policy, does not actively contribute to providing the requested information, or does not implement appropriate improvement plans, Brembo reserves the right to precautionarily suspend and/or terminate any business relationship early and with immediate effect.

Brembo ensures that the channels are accessible and known to all intended users through communications on the company website. Moreover, the compay has in place policies regarding the protection of individuals that use them against retaliation as discribed in section S1-3.

S2-4 TAKING ACTION ON MATERIAL IMPACTS, RISKS AND OPPORTUNITIES ON VALUE CHAIN WORKERS

Brembo actively prevents negative material impacts and risks and fosters positive material impacts concerning value chain workers (as described in the section S2-SBM3) through different actions.

To prevent, address and remediate material impacts and risks that may arise, Brembo has established a procedure for following up on suppliers who formerly resulted in poor sustainability performance. This procedure applies to all suppliers across the Group and entails initiating follow-up actions on suppliers who either fall below a specified minimum score or violate any zero-tolerance non-conformities.

For on-site audits, suppliers are provided with a specific timeframe to address any identified non-conformities. The timeframe is determined by the severity of the issue. Furthermore, Brembo retains the right to immediately suspend or terminate contracts if the supplier breaches the conduct principles set forth in the policies referenced in earlier sections (such as the sustainable procurement policy, Code of Basic Working Conditions, and policy on non-discrimination and diversity) as well as the provisions of Brembo's general terms and conditions. Currently, Brembo is reviewing its supplier sustainability assessment

procedure to redefine the follow-up process for on-site audits, with the goal of enhancing its approach to swiftly addressing any identified non-conformities.

Additionally, Brembo has implemented various initiatives aimed at delivering positive impacts for value chain workers. Specifically, the Company is committed to the continuously enhancing supplier performance through ongoing dialogue on sustainability topics. This involves offering consistent support to suppliers during one-to-one dedicated meetings, ensuring they are well-informed and aligned with Brembo's sustainability objectives.

Brembo actively tracks and evaluates the effectiveness of its actions and initiatives by monitoring improvements in sustainability scores and confirming the resolution of the detected non-conformities. This systematic approach helps to ensure that the desired positive outcomes for value chain workers are not only achieved but also sustained over time.

To address the performance of supply chain workers, Brembo employs a combination of self-assessments, on-site audits and other evaluation methods outlined in previous sections to identify suppliers with subpar sustainability performance. During the reporting period, Brembo has not recorded severe human rights issues and incidents connected to its upstream and downstream value chain.

For more information on how the Group tracks the effectiveness of policies and actions through targets, please refer to the following chapter.

The information related to Brembo action plan (CapEx, OpEx) has not been disclosed with regard to financial the year 2024.

S2-5 TARGETS RELATED TO MATERIAL IMPACTS, RISKS AND OPPORTUNITIES ON VALUE CHAIN WORKERS

In order to manage negative impacts and risks, and advance positive impacts, Brembo has set two measurable, outcome-oriented and time-bound targets.

The first target is about expanding the scope of suppliers' on-site ESG assessment and monitoring to cover 80% of purchasing spent on direct relevant suppliers by 2026.

This target is directly in line with the objectives of Brembo's sustainable procurement policy, as embeds ESG principles into supplier evaluation and engagement. Additionally, the audits are performed on Brembo's suppliers (upstream value chain), in all locations where the Group operates. By extending on-site ESG assessments and monitoring, the organization ensures that procurement practices actively support sustainability goals, such as reducing environmental impact, promoting ethical labour practices, and fostering responsible sourcing. It is a relative target and its unit of measurement is the percentage of spend coverage (expenditure towards audited suppliers / total expenditure on direct relevant suppliers).

The base year for measuring progress is 2020, during which the baseline value indicated that 70% of spend on direct relevant suppliers were assessed through on-site ESG evaluations.

In terms of methodologies and key assumptions, the target focuses on "direct relevant suppliers," i.e., to those suppliers that are essential to Brembo's core operations and sustainability objectives. Brembo considers that 80% of procurement spend on these relevant suppliers constitutes a significant threshold for driving change and enhancing overall supply chain sustainability.

Since the adoption of the target, no changes have been made, and the data source used to calculate the percentage of coverage of Brembo's spend is Brembo's Purchasing systems. The target is monitored annually, and Brembo is currently on track to achieve it. There has not been a significant change in the performance of the Company, which has remained consistently above the target threshold over the years.

The second target focuses on ensuring that the Local for Local Index remains above 90%. By prioritising local procurement, the target reduces the environmental footprint associated with transportation and logistics, (e.g., greenhouse gas emissions and energy consumption). Maintaining a Local for Local Index above 85% supports the Group's aim to enhance local economic growth and resilience. The target is based on the spend in regions where Brembo operates and includes the purchase costs of goods and services directly related to the production of finished products, including the purchase of raw materials, components, semi-finished and finished goods, as well as auxiliary materials and services — primarily transportation, utilities, packaging, and maintenance, repair, and operations (MRO). Additionally, it includes services that are not strictly tied to production, such as information and communication technology (ICT) and telephony expenses, cleaning, security, and canteen services. However, costs associated with tax and legal advice, insurance, sponsorships, business travel, recruitment and training activities, property leases, and industrial assets are excluded. The base year for measuring progress is 2020, during which the baseline value was 87%, and the target is set to be maintained until 2030.

Since the adoption of the target, no changes have been made, and the data source used to calculate the percentage of coverage of Brembo's spend is Brembo's Purchasing systems. The target is monitored annually, and Brembo is currently on track to achieve it. There has not been a significant change in the performance of the Company, which has been increasing constantly over the years.

Regarding both targets, workers in the value chain were not engaged in the process of defining,monitoring performance against them, or identifying areas for improvement.

Brembo has not set specific targets or measurable objectives on value chain workers. However, Brembo is committed to developing appropriate targets and key performance indicators (KPIs) for the future reporting year.

THE "SCHOOL ON WHEELS" PROJECT TO REACH GIRLS AND BOYS IN INDIA WITH A MOBILE EDUCATIONAL SPACE

In 2019, Brembo launched the "School on Wheels" project in India, transforming a school bus into a mobile classroom in collaboration with Door Step School, a local NGO focused on educating children from vulnerable families. The initiative addresses three key challenges in primary education: non-enrolment, early school dropout, and learning stagnation, providing children with opportunities for a better future.

The "School on Wheels" bus is equipped with books, notebooks, computers and interactive teaching materials to support the literacy and study activities of over XY children using innovative teaching methods. Operating from Monday to Saturday, the project reaches the outskirts of Pune, engaging groups of 20-25 children at each stop.

The Door Step School team teaches children aged five to ten essential skills: reading, writing and counting, while also promoting self-care. The bus stops in designated areas for about two hours, allowing the entire community to access the mobile unit for reading activities. This initiative benefits both emerging readers and those who can read but lack access to books.

Additionally, the Door Step School team collaborates with parents to involve them in their children's education, fostering continuity and support for learning. Monthly meetings with families and community visits are organized to share children's progress and encourage parental engagement in their educational journey.

In 2024, with support from Brembo Brake India, a new educational space was inaugurated in Balajinagar, PimpriChinchwad, providing children with essential skills for their school and personal development.

The project provides free accommodation, nutrition programmes, and activities aimed at enhancing the psychological and emotional wellbeing of families. St. Judes' approach emphasizes learning, offering personalised school programmes that allow children to continue their education through creative workshops, educational games and interactive lessons.

THE BREMBO FOREST IN KENYA AND SUPPORT FOR THE CHAKAN BIODIVERSITY PARK IN INDIA

Emotional support is also vital, with activities like music therapy, yoga, and counseling sessions helping children process their emotions. Parents are also included in the programme, receiving support for emotional processing and economic independence through practical courses in various skills. In 2024, Brembo continued monitoring the Brembo Forest and supporting the Biodiversity Park in Chakan, India, in collaboration with the NGO Bosch & Forest using the "Miyawaki Method". This technique, developed by the Japanese botanist Akira Miyawaki, utilised resilient native plants to restore abandoned land previously used for illegal dumping.

Every tree is vital for the planet, providing oxygen and resources for humans, symbolizing sustenance, life and hope for the future. To celebrate its 60th anniversary in 2021, the Group donated a tree to every employee worldwide, establishing the first Brembo Forest in Kenya's Lake Victoria region. The initiative, called "Brembo4Earth - A gift for you, our forest for the planet" was carried out in partnership with Treedom, resulting in the planting of 14 thousand trees, including both stem and fruit species tailored to the local environment.

Families celebrate milestones together, fostering a community spirit and creating a supportive environment. Outdoor activities like cricket and volleyball promote socialisation and strengthen community bonds. This integrated approach enhances the overall wellbeing of children and families, helping them face treatment challenges with confidence and support from their community. A key phase involved selecting species to create a sustainable ecosystem that enhances soil retention, cools the microclimate and absorbs pollutants and carbon dioxide. The biodiversity park is now accessible to the community and industrial workers, providing a green space for reconnecting with nature.

The Brembo Forest contributes to the achievement of 10 of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals defined by the United Nations, bringing both environmental and social benefits. In particular, the project involves local communities in forest management and care, providing them with profitable agricultural alternatives.

EMPOWERMENT AND SOCIAL INCLUSION FOR WOMEN AND CHILDREN BY THANE

In 2022, Brembo launched a project in Thane, India, to support mothers working in the textile sector with children care. In partnership with Proaction, a Day Care Centre (DCC) was established, operating five days a week. The DCC provides various socio-educational services, including educational support, arts and crafts workshops, sports activities, career guidance, karate classes, interactive learning classes, specialised English support sessions and healthcare. A fully equipped computer centre has been operating since June 2024 for the community children in Thane, staffed by a full-time teacher. The centre provides a three-month basic computer course consisting of six batches each with five students.

Two batches of 28 beneficiaries have successfully completed their training in 2024. Moreover, two community health camp (Dental camp and Eye camp) were organized for the community people, with 260 beneficiaries.

This multi-purpose space allows children to learn, explore and grow in a safe and stimulating environment that contributes to the enhancement of their learning skills and the improvement of their overall wellbeing. During 2024, 50 girls and boys participated in arts and crafts workshops, while 33 girls and boys (22 non DCC children + 11 DCC children) took part in career guidance sessions. In addition, a space with PC workstations was opened in 2024, designed to improve classroom interaction and make learning more dynamic and engaging.

In addition to educational support, 26 children had the opportunity to participate in karate courses and 43 children participated in summer camps with chess workshops, outdoor games and computer classes.

S3-5 TARGETS RELATED TO MATERIAL IMPACTS, RISKS AND OPPORTUNITIES ONAFFECTED COMMUNITIES

Brembo has not set specific targets or measurable objectives related to Local Communities for 2024. However, Brembo is committed to developing appropriate targets and key performance indicators (KPIs) for the future reporting year.

In defining its strategy and business model, Brembo includes within the scope of disclosure under ESRS 2 the interests, rights, and opinions of consumers and end users.

The double materiality assessment has led to the identification of the following IROs, in relation to the consumers and end users:

  • • Positive impact Increased end-user safety through the implementation of innovative technologies in products: Brembo invests in Research and Development activities to develop innovative products and lead to increased safety of vehicles using Brembo components, resulting in higher safety standards for end users.
  • • Negative impact Consumer safety due to product non-conformities: Being braking system a safety component by definition, in case of product nonconformity the end-user's safety may be threatened.
  • • Risk Product liability and safety recalls: If a defect is detected once the product is on the market, it may result in one or more of the following consequences: product liability by the claims end-customer, safety recall campaign, warranty intervention (in case of a non-safety-related defect). The consequence for the Company would be an impact in terms of extra costs, reputation and/or relationship with clients.
  • • Risk Potential errors in external and internal communications: Incorrect disclosure could represent a risk for Brembo, as it can damage its corporate reputation, lead to penalties and negatively influence the market choices of end users and, consequently, clients.

With regard to the methodologies, assumptions and tools used in identifying and assessing material impacts, risks and opportunities along its value chain, please refer to the section ESRS 2 IRO-1 herein.

The safety of end users cannot be separated from the quality of Brembo's products. For this reason, Brembo is committed to managing its impacts and risks and defines its strategy to ensure the production of excellent products with safety, quality, and reliable performance. Furthermore, through the use of innovative technologies, Brembo aims to enhance the performance of its braking systems, ensuring maximum reliability and safety for the end user.

For information on how interest, views and rights of Brembo's stakeholders inform its strategy and business model please refer to ESRS 2 SBM-2 (General Disclosure).

The analyses conducted by the Group for identifying and evaluating impacts, risks, and opportunities did not lead to the identification of specific groups of end-users to focus on. The impacts, risks, and opportunities identified by the group therefore refer to the drivers of vehicles equipped with brake components manufactured by Brembo.

S4-1 POLICIES RELATED TO CONSUMERS AND END-USERS

The Group has a structured system of policies and codes aimed at managing the impacts, risks, and opportunities also related to end users.

The policies adopted by the Group not only aim to minimise negative impacts on end users, but also to identify and leverage opportunities to continuously improve its practices.

QUALITY POLICY
Brembo Group's quality policy 38 defines Brembo's
intentions and strategies regarding the quality and
safety of its products and processes. The policy is
centred on the ability to constantly innovate products,
processes, and services to provide the highest level
of quality and performance excellence. The policy
emphasizes the Company's focus on health, safety,
environmental protection, ethics, sustainability, and
legal compliance, both internally and throughout its
supply chain.

Public on the
Company's
Intranet.

Brembo has implemented a Quality Management System compliant with the IATF 16949:2016 standard. This system, characterized by Guidelines common to all the Group's plants, allows best practices to be transferred from one plant to another, as well as all the sites to be managed according to the same standards and quality indicators. The effectiveness of the Quality Management System is verified periodically through specific internal system and process audits and through third-party audits with regard to compliance with IATF 16949, annually, as well as ISO 26262 and ASPICE, on specific projects. Like other management systems, in newly opened sites the Quality Management System is implemented when production gets underway, and certification audits are normally carried out around twelve months after plant is commissioning.

All sites are certified according to the IATF 16949:2016 standard except for Zaragoza site, which is ISO 9001 certified as the IATF scheme does not apply to

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

Brembo Group not only is committed to complying with quality standard and law's requirement but also aims to is ensuring transparency in communications and establishing lasting relationships with its stakeholders, including end users. For this reason, Brembo has adopted the stakeholder engagement policy which defines the methods of dialogue between the Group and its stakeholders including end user and customers (refer to the Table in S1-1).

aftermarket sites. The Myasl and Jiaxing plants, which were recently acquired, will obtain IATF 16949 certification respectively by 2025 and 2026 as soon as integration activities are completed. In particular, in the case of the Aftermarket GBU and product issues, the end user can write directly to Brembo or contact their dealer, who will then liaise with Brembo to obtain all the necessary information for the prompt resolution of the problem.

One example of a process used to engage consumers and/ or end-users is the Brembo Claims Hunter project, a new digital tool that continuously identifies posts, comments, and discussions on the web that can represent the voice of the customer. This tool allows the Quality GCF to analyse customer feedback in an aggregated manner, extract insights, and define areas for product improvement along with potential enhancements. The project enables the Company to respond more effectively to user needs. The technology behind Brembo Claim Hunter uses advanced algorithms that filter and classify the collected data, ensuring precise and detailed analysis. This helps Brembo to maintain a constant dialogue with consumers and continuously improve its products. Moreover, Brembo has adopted a channel through which consumers and end users can raise their concerns as described in G1-1.

Additionally, the Quality GCF periodically monitors news, particularly from government agencies, regarding recall campaigns already activated in the market and potentially related to Brembo products, in order to detect "early warnings" of any issues impacting the quality and safety of the Company's products.

Based on this information, a risk exposure analysis for Brembo is carried out with all the necessary functions, and depending on the assessed risk exposure level, an appropriate work plan is defined to adequately eliminate the highlighted risk exposure.

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

To ensure product safety and quality and prevent potential negative impacts, Brembo adopts a preventive/proactive approach in managing its processes, allowing it to anticipate problems and intervene to prevent them, with a view to continuous improvement. Specifically, during the design and development phases, FMEA/FMECA analyses are conducted, both for products and processes, to identify both product and process characteristics with potential impacts on end-user safety, so they can be systematically managed and controlled throughout the production chain (product development, internal process, and supplier process).

Additionally, specific courses on FMEA products and process are periodically provided. During the development phase, a testing plan is implemented, conducted both on benches and vehicles, to ensure that products meet the required specifications. During the production phases, specific controls (covering 100% of the products) are carried out to ensure that all requirements, particularly those related to product safety, are met.

At the core of this approach, Brembo implements a solid "Project Management" process (known as "Stargate") which, through the planning and management of specific control points (gates) and the management of any recovery plans, allows for the verification of the correctness and completeness of the activities carried out, ensuring that the product is ready for mass production in full compliance with the defined requirements.

38 The current policy in force is dated 24/07/2017, and there have been no significant changes to the policies during the reference year.

With Brembo Academy support, many people were trained over years with dedicated e-learning and through a workshop dedicated to employees within Platforms.

A similar approach is followed in managing the entire supply chain, from the selection and qualification of suppliers to the control of compliance with agreed supply conditions. This is done through a structured evaluation and approval process based on objective and measurable parameters, through visits aimed at verifying the ability to meet the required quality standards and the involvement of suppliers from the early stages of development.

Given the importance of the Brembo Product Development System (BPDS) for Brembo, Quality GCF, with the support of Brembo Academy, periodically provides specific courses on BPDS aimed at training new people joining the Group in platform roles, as well as to standardise the development methodology within all Platforms and all Global Business Units.

At plant level, product quality and safety are continuously monitored through specific indicators (e.g., customer PPM, internal scraps) which are then further analysed centrally.

Annually, the Quality GCF (Central Quality Function) prepares the Quality Plan which consolidates the quality targets for individual GBU/Plants and for the Group, with respect to specific indicators monitored quarterly within dedicated Committees and others evaluated on a halfyearly basis and included in a specific document (Quality Report). In particular, to measure product quality and safety, indicators (customer PPM and incidents) are used, considering the number of defects sent to the customer divided by cause, criticality index (which measures the disturbance to the customer), and severity index (which

measures the impact of non-conformities on the end user's safety). Moreover, any market recalls and/or special statuses attributed by the customer to the production units in case of deviations from the defined standards are also monitored.

S4-4 TAKING ACTION ON MATERIAL IMPACTS, RISKS AND OPPORTUNITIES ON CONSUMERS AND END-USERS

Brembo has established specific guidelines to manage all product non-conformities reported by customers, detailing responsibilities and operating procedures. For each non-conformity, a structured Problem-Solving process is implemented. This process allows for the identification of causes, the implementation of appropriate corrective actions to eliminate them, and the standardization of solutions on similar products/processes to prevent the recurrence of the issue.

Brembo managed all product issues, both during development and in serie production, through "Eureka", internally designed tool which brings all information, into a single repository and facilitates the understanding of causes and the sharing of solutions among all plants. Whether internal to Brembo or reported by the customer, all issues are thus managed through a common problemsolving methodology. The goal is to use shared knowledge to proactively address potential issues, preventing recurrence in other plants and/or on similar products. The system also provides real-time reporting of open issues and their management, resolution times, and ongoing problems.

Moreover, Brembo has developed a so called "Warranty analyser" which aims to automate the analysis of

warranty data so as improve product reliability and trigger
product improvement plans. This entalis the development
of a structured and unified tool for warranty analysis,
implementing predictive models for warranty trend
evolution, and enabling ad hoc product reliability analysis.

Brembo has also defined a guideline for the management of potential recall campaign. It illustrates the responsibilities and operating modalities for the implementation, in the shortest time possible, of a set of activities and actions aimed at minimising the general risks connected with the introduction or circulation on the market of a non-conforming product potentially risky for the end user's safety or health.

To conclude, the key actions taken and/or planned to prevent, mitigate and remediate impacts, and to address risks during the reporting year are as follows:

  • Integration to Brembo Quality Management System for all the newly acquired companies to have common guidelines in all the Group's plants that allows all the sites to be managed with the same standards and quality indicators.
  • Quality GCF organization with dedicated people for Manufacturing Quality and Technical Problem solving in order to continuously improve problem solving management and methodologies reducing product nonconformities.
  • Collection, management and audit on mandatory regulatory requirements in order to guarantee legal compliance and minimize potential risk in corporate reputation.

The information related to Brembo action plan (CapEx, OpEx) has not been disclosed with regard to financial the year 2024.

S4-5 TARGETS RELATED TO MATERIAL IMPACTS, RISKS AND OPPORTUNITIES ON CONSUMERS AND END-USERS

During 2024, Brembo set a measurable outcome-oriented target, in line with the Quality Management System:

• Percentage of plants certified according to the IATF 16949:2016 standard

As of 2024, 100% of the sites are certified according to the IATF 16949:2016 standard with the exception of Zaragoza and Shandong (BRGP), which is ISO9001 certified as the IATF scheme (does not apply to aftermarket sites). The recently acquired Myasl and Jiaxing plants will obtain the IATF 16949 certification espectively by 2025 and 2026 as soon as integration activities are completed. The target is in line with the Quality Management System characterised by Guidelines common to all the Group's plants and allowing best practices to be transferred from one plant to another, as well as all the sites to be managed with the same standards and quality indicators. The effectiveness of the Quality Management System is verified periodically through specific internal system and process audits and through third-party audits relating to compliance with IATF 16949. Like other management systems, in newly opened sites the Quality Management System is implemented when production gets underway, and certification audits are normally carried out around twelve months after plant is commissioning.

Brembo has not set specific targets or measurable objectives. However, Brembo is committed to developing appropriate targets and key performance indicators (KPIs) for the future reporting year.

G1 GOV-1 ROLE OF ADMINISTRATIVE, SUPERVISORY AND MANAGEMENT BODIES

Brembo's Board of Directors (BoD) is the key body that guides the Group's ethical conduct, ensuring legality, transparency and responsibility in its actions, and establishes its strategic direction, integrating social and environmental considerations into corporate decisions to ensure the creation of sustainable value in the long term.

It oversees the implementation of the codes of conduct, ESG policies and risk management and control systems, and it's responsible for verifying the adequacy of the organizational, administrative and accounting structure and of the controls necessary to monitor the performance of the Company and the Group, collaborating closely with Top Management to promote a corporate culture focused on integrity and compliance with ethical and sustainability principles.

The BoD is collectively responsible for decisions, even if decisions are prepared and/or taken by individual Directors, who may only exercise the powers explicitly assigned to them never powers beyond those of the BoD itself as a whole. In addition, Executive Directors, such as the Executive Chairman and the Chief Executive Officer, must always inform the other directors in a clear and timely manner about the exercise of their powers and major developments in their responsibilities.

Starting 24 April 2024, with the Cross-Border Conversion, Brembo has adopted a one-tier board structure as provided by laws of the Netherlands, composed of Executive and Non-Executive Directors, the latter being also in charge of supervising the Executive Directors'

To complete its governance structure, Brembo has established an audit, risk and sustainability committee ("Audit, Risk and Sustainability Committee") in continuity with the past, with audit tasks in accordance with Dutch statutory and regulatory provisions.

The Audit, Risk and Sustainability Committee:

  • assists the Board of Directors and the Non-Executive Directors' decision-making on the supervision of the integrity and quality of the Company's financial and sustainability reporting and the effectiveness of the Company's internal risk management and control system;
  • reviews the Company's financial reporting process, the systems of internal control and risk management, the external audit process, sustainability issues related to the Company's activities and the interactions with its stakeholders, and the Company's process for monitoring compliance with laws and regulations and its Code of Ethics, as well as such other matters, which may be specifically attributed by the Board of Directors from time to time.

On the other hand, the Supervisory Committee appointed by the Board of Directors pursuant to Legislative Decree no. 231 of 8 June 2001 (the "Legislative Decree 231") has been maintained after the Cross Border Conversion and it continues to monitor that the Company acts in compliance with the organizational, management and

G1 - BUSINESS CONDUCT

39 The Italian "231 Model" refers to the organizational and management model established under Legislative Decree No. 231/2001. It aims to prevent corporate crimes and administrative offenses within organizations. The model requires companies to implement specific internal controls, procedures, and protocols to promote ethical behavior and compliance with legal standards. Adopting the "231 Model" Brembo benefits from reduced liability in the event that a crime is committed by its employees or representatives. The model emphasizes the importance of a corporate culture that prioritizes integrity and accountability.

G1 IRO-1 DESCRIPTION OF THE PROCESSES TO IDENTIFY AND ASSESS BUSINESS CONDUCT MATERIAL IMPACTS, RISKS AND OPPORTUNITIES

The double materiality assessment has led to the identification of Impacts, Risks and Opportunities related to the matter of business conduct.

  • • Negative impact Unfair payment practices towards suppliers: Being a key player in its business sector, Brembo Group can be a key customer for its suppliers, especially for small and medium-sized ones. Therefore, the possible implementation of suboptimal payment practices could negatively impact the activities of the suppliers themselves, causing them economic difficulties and, in worst case scenario, bankruptcy.
  • • Risk Potential misrepresentation and/or lack of reported data and objectives disclosed in sustainability reporting: A lack and/or incorrect representation of qualitative and quantitative data in sustainability reporting represents a significant risk for Brembo, as it can damage its corporate reputation, lead to penalties for regulatory non-compliance, negatively influence investors' decisions and undermine stakeholder confidence.
  • • Risk Potential fraud attempts and/or administrative liability due to non-compliance with internal policies/ procedures or local regulations: In case of noncompliance with laws and regulations the Company may face potential legal and regulatory consequences. This may include fines, penalties, and other legal actions.

With regard to the methodologies, assumptions and tools used in identifying and assessing material impacts, risks and opportunities along its value chain, please refer to section ESRS 2 IRO-1 herein.

Letter from the Vision
Index Executive Chairman and Mission

As a basic principle of business conduct, Brembo Group is committed to complying with laws in the various countries in which it operates, its corporate culture is based on a policy aimed at of prevention of the corporate criminal liability of companies, in line with the principles and methods of the 231 Model but also with reference to local laws of the countries where Brembo operates.

This involves:

  • a risk assessment based on the potential offences/risks applicable to the subsidiary's business;
  • identification of sensitive areas with a view to assessing which corporate areas/sectors are at risk of commission of the offences;
  • the adoption of preventive procedures/measures to avoid the commission of offences;
  • dissemination and training;
  • monitoring and auditing of the sensitive activities and preventive procedures/measures.

Currently, the Brembo Compliance System is based on three levels of compliance:

  • 1) the implementation by each subsidiary of the local compliance programme, by each subsidiary according to local law;
  • 2) the Brembo Compliance Guidelines to maintain high ethical standards throughout the Group, while and also preventing potential corporate liability of the Corporate for crimes offences committed at subsidiaries;
  • 3) the adoption by the Headquarters of the 231 Model by the Headquarters and appointment of and independent and autonomous body for its supervision, (the Supervisory Committee - SC).

To avoid possible conflicts between the local compliance programme and the guidelines issued at central level, the Principle of Prevalence applies: where local requirements are less stringent than those of the Headquarter, the latter will prevail in the definition of the local compliance programme.

Another important factor in the Brembo compliance
system and therefore in the definition and maintenance
of the corporate culture at global level is the relationship
between the Corporate Supervisory Committee (the
Italian SC) and the Top Management of each Subsidiary,
i.e. the figure appointed by the local Board of Directors
for the implementation of the compliance program in
the Subsidiary itself. The two bodies are periodically in
contact through meetings and exchanges of reports or
questionnaires, to monitor the risks of non-compliance.
In order to identify, report and verify any episodes or
conduct that are unlawful or in conflict with Brembo's
internal regulations, Brembo, in compliance with the
Directive (EU) 2019/1937, has adopted a Whistleblowing
Procedure that establishes and regulates the internal
channels for reporting misconduct and irregularities.
Brembo has implemented an official reporting channel,
i.e. a dedicated platform aimed at properly and timely

managing reporting of violations related to:

  • regulatory provisions within the scope of Brembo Group's activity;
  • 231 Model (with the involvement of the Supervisory Committee, where necessary);
  • other Brembo corporate codes of conduct, policies and procedures.

Through, computer methods and encryption tools, this platform guarantees the confidentiality of the identity of the reporter, the persons involved, as well as the content of the report and the related documentation.

The reporting channel is managed by the Brembo's Internal Audit GCF, an autonomous office with staff specifically trained to manage the reporting channel, as specified in the procedure relating to whistleblowing reports and as requested by the relevant EU Directive.

Highlights Report Statement Governance Statements

Any person related to Brembo Group's business, such as employees and collaborators, suppliers and customers, shareholders and persons with administrative, management, control, supervisory or representative functions has the opportunity to report - through the dedicated channels - any cases of violations and irregularities without fear of potential retaliation; the system is structured according to the legislation in force in the country in which Brembo operates. Specifically:

  • in compliance with the current European Directive (2019/1937), at the European subsidiaries (including the Headquarters) a software is in place for handling whistleblowing reports;
  • in non-EU subsidiaries, different tools are in place (the Red Flag software in the U.S. and Mexico , the AloEtica software in Brazil, or dedicated email boxes at subsidiaries where a dedicated software is not implemented).

The whistleblower may choose to send the report to the Parent Brembo N.V. or to the local internal channel.

The mechanism is regulated by a specific company procedure available on the Intranet or on the website.

Brembo has implemented different kinds of information and/or training reserved to all employees:

  • e-mail communications;
  • news on the Intranet and on the plants' notice boards
  • news in the Company house organ;
  • the procedure is available in the Intranet and on the website.

A specific module is included in the training courses dedicated to new hires and in the refresher sessions on safety & compliance training courses.

More generally, Brembo provides various training methods regarding business ethics, aimed at making interested parties aware of the provisions of the compliance system, the reasons for implementing the latter and the main conduct to be adopted to prevent the commission of offence.

The training methods vary, in terms of content and mode, depending on the role of the recipients, the level of risk associated with the area in which they operate, as well as on whether they are entitled to represent Brembo visà-vis third parties. In addition to the training delivered in a "traditional" way through classroom lessons, another method involves the distribution of multimedia materials to employees (managers, middle managers and office workers) for self-learning. This particular mode of training delivery has been considered particularly effective as it allows:

  • to keep track of the documentation used for training purposes and the recipients of the training;
  • to certify of course attendance, with monitoring of the beginning and end of each course;
  • to monitor the effectiveness of the course through its review based on the score obtained in the test-out.

Every year the training plan is submitted for review to the Supervisory Committee, which on a quarterly basis also receives an update of the numbers of the trained persons.

In order to ensure compliance with the regulations and maintain virtuous business conduct, for improve a group culture of prevention purposes, the Group has identified the functions that are most at risk of episodes of active and passive corruption in the different sensitive areas:

G1-2 MANAGEMENT OF RELATIONSHIPS WITH SUPPLIERS

In pursuit of a virtuous process of continuous improvement of product quality and risk management, Brembo constantly monitors the indicators relating to the quality and cost of supplies, assessing the risks inherent in the supply chain, such as the increase in the supplier's dependence on Brembo and Brembo's dependence on the supplier, and financial solidity, thus highlighting possible critical situations.

Approximately 90% of procurement40 comes from local suppliers, i.e. suppliers located in the same geographical

areas in which the Group operates, as Brembo aims to improve the efficiency, responsiveness and sustainability of the supply chain, while supporting the local economies in which it is located.

The Group also provides incentives to its Purchasing team members, aimed at encouraging the team to prioritize sustainable practices in procurement decisions. For example, a significant share of Purchasing staff and executives have performance objectives that include targets designed to enhance suppliers' sustainability performance, i.e. their environmental management practices and adherence to sustainable production processes.

These targets are linked to the performance of suppliers providing products and services to Brembo, both direct and indirect and they are measured against suppliers' ESG scores (e.g., scores obtained through ESG questionnaires or on-site third-party audits) as well as the participation to other ESG initiatives (e.g., suppliers' emissions data collection campaign for Scope 3 calculation).

With the aim of guaranteeing solidity and quality throughout its supply chain, Brembo has defined a structured process for the evaluation and approval of new key suppliers. The first phase of the process involves inviting suppliers to register on the Brembo's procurement platform and completing a pre-assessment questionnaire. This first phase of analysis allows Brembo to perform a preliminary screening of potential suppliers and refrain from establishing commercial relationships with those who do not comply with the minimum

40 This includes the purchase costs of goods and services directly involved in the production of finished goods, i.e. the purchase of: raw materials, components, semi-finished and finished products, auxiliary materials and services – mainly transport, utilities, packaging and MRO. The provision of services not strictly associated with production, such as ICT and telephony costs, cleaning, security and canteen services, is also included. Tax and legal advice, insurance, sponsorships, business travel, recruitment and training activities, property leases and industrial assets are excluded.

requirements, to identify in advance any critical issues relating to new potential suppliers and to implement corrective actions accordingly. The questionnaires are analysed by the Purchasing, Administration & Finance, Quality and Sustainability & Risk Global Central Functions (GCFs) with the aim of assessing operational, financial and sustainability risk profiles. Once the pre-assessment phase has been successfully completed, direct material suppliers receive site visits from the Quality GCF to verify that quality and process requirements are effectively met. Once the approval process has been completed, the supplier becomes eligible for new business awarding.

The assignment of a specific supply takes place through the benchmarking of the various offers received on the basis of the following evaluation criteria:

  • A. Compliance with technical specifications
  • B. Technological and innovation capabilities
  • C. Quality and service
  • D. Economic competitiveness
  • E. Sustainability performance

In the area of sustainability, since 2023, over 600 direct and indirect suppliers have been invited to register on a digital platform managed by an external provider to complete an ESG assessment questionnaire. This questionnaire is based on the SAQ 5.0 model, which was established as part of the Drive Sustainability assessing compliance with the sustainability standards imposed by the Group. With regard to this initiative, in 2024 Brembo launched a review of the ESG audit management procedure — established in 2018 — to strengthen the Group's approach to managing supplier non-conformities on a global scale and improve oversight throughout the supply chain. This procedure defines the criteria for the selection of suppliers involved in audits, the processes for managing third-party audits, the related follow-ups and any corrective actions. It also establishes minimum expectations for suppliers, including specific scoring requirements and threshold levels, to ensure alignment with Brembo's ESG standards.

initiative led by major global players in the automotive industry. This allows Brembo to align itself with the sustainability guidelines of its reference supply chain, ensuring timely compliance with emerging regulations and the most consolidated international sustainability due diligence standards. During the pre-assessment phase, suppliers are evaluated based on the outcomes of this assessment and Brembo's Sustainability department is responsible for the evaluation of any suppliers not reaching a minimum acceptable threshold. Part of the indirect suppliers, which have not been identified as critical for Brembo and are not exposed to significant ESG risks, are required to only complete a simplified questionnaire instead, encompassing also ESG topics. In addition, in collaboration with external independent auditors, Brembo has been conducting third-party ESG audits on suppliers for years with the specific aim of party audit aims at identifying critical issues impacting areas such as: working conditions, pay and working hours, health, safety, management systems and the environment. For each non-conformity reported, suppliers are required, to develop corrective action plans, which are then monitored by Brembo using the same third-party assessor. To date, Brembo has involved 160 suppliers in sustainability-related audits certified by third parties, of which 31 in 2024 (25 direct suppliers and 6 indirect suppliers). Of these, 8 (7 direct suppliers and 1 indirect supplier) were identified as having significant negative environmental and social impacts, both potential and actual. Without suspending collaboration, Brembo has agreed on environmental and social improvement actions with each of these suppliers and follow-up audits were planned to remedy the non-conformities detected, in line with the Group's objective of accompanying its suppliers towards an increasingly sustainable approach to business.

The parameters for selecting suppliers involved in ESG audits are: the country of origin of the supplies, the turnover with the Brembo Group, the type of production process, as well as any other ESG indicators (i.e., outcomes from previous ESG assessments). The objective of thirdFinally, it should be noted that, although currently Brembo does not have a specific and formalised policy governing any late payments, a procedure is in force for European markets that defines payment terms in accordance with the relevant EU directive, while in other countries Brembo complies with local payment practices.

G1-3 PREVENTION AND DETECTION OF CORRUPTION OR BRIBERY

As mentioned in paragraph (G1-1) Business conduct policies and corporate culture, Brembo has adopted an Antibribery Code of Conduct worldwide to prevent, detect and address allegations of active and passive corruption, in line with the principles set out in the Code of Ethics and according to international best practices. Both documents are integral parts of the 231 Model.

The purpose of the Antibribery Code of Conduct is to ensure transparency, provide clarity on acceptable behavior and comply with relevant anti-corruption legislation wherever in the world one is conducting business for Brembo. The aim of the Code is to ensure that the highest standards of integrity are maintained. The code also sets out Brembo's policy on the giving and receiving of gifts, hospitality and entertainment, and one's responsibilities. According to the Antibribery Code of Conduct no one — director, officer or other employee, consultant, agent, representative, supplier or business partner — shall, directly or indirectly, give, offer, request, promise, authorise, solicit or accept bribes or any other perquisite (including gifts or gratuities, with the exception of commercial items universally accepted in an international context of modest economic value, permitted by applicable laws and in compliance with the Code and all applicable practices and procedures) in connection with their work for Brembo at any time or for any reason. In addition to the assignment of specific responsibilities detailed by the Antibribery Code, a further preventive measure for acts of corruption is the separation of Internal Audit GCF from management, whose function is precisely to investigate allegations or episodes of corruption and bribery that could also involve the management itself.

Consequently, the Chief Internal Audit Officer is not responsible for any operational area, has direct access to all the information necessary for the performance of his duties and reports on his/her or her work at each meeting of the Audit, Risk and Sustainability Committee (ARSC) and the Supervisory Committee. The Internal Audit global central function should also inform the Board and the Chair of the ARSC without delay if, in the performance of its duties, it discovers or suspects an instance of material misconduct or irregularity.

In addition, it can rely on the existing entity-level controls which contribute to mitigate corruption and bribery risk, such as delegation of authorities and power of attorney, segregation of duties, the 231 Model and the related training on 231 compliance; remuneration policy, accounting policies, internal audits on group legal entities, investigations performed as a result of Whistleblowing reporting, whistleblowing communication campaign.

Finally, process-entity controls are in place in procurement, production, real estate development, finance, human resources, research & development, marketing, sales, logistics and more generally in all the subprocesses which could generate a bribery and corruption risk.

As already mentioned, the Antibribery Code of Conduct, like other relevant Group policies, is available to all company employees and stakeholders, as it is published in full on the Company's Intranet website and on the Brembo website.

In addition, new hires are provided with an information package (National Collective Agreement, Code of Ethics, welcome kit, etc.), aimed at ensuring awareness of the Company principles. New hires will be required to provide Brembo with a signature on a dedicated register certifying that they have received the information package.

For further details on anti-corruption and anti-bribery training activities, please refer to section G1-1.

With regard to the training provided specifically to administrative, management and control bodies, it should be noted that upon their first appointment, directors are trained on the compliance system, and in particular on the Code of Ethics and on the 231 Model, which also includes anti-corruption rules. Subsequently, when various updates are made to the Code of Ethics, the Antibribery Code and the 231 Model, the new applicable regulations, sensitive activities and safeguards implemented by the company are presented to them.

G1-4 INCIDENTS OF CORRUPTION OR BRIBERY

Brembo currently has no legal proceedings outstanding for corruption or bribery. As such, the number of convictions and the amount of fines for violation of anti-corruption and anti- bribery laws for Brembo in 2024 is 0.

As consequence, no convinctions or fines have been registered in 2024. For this reason, no remediation actions were needed.

G1-6 PAYMENT PRACTICES

Brembo group's contractual terms of payment are in line
with main regulations (e.g. for EU, n° 2011/7 Directive). At
Worldwide level, Brembo's average standard contractual
payment terms are around 60 days. In 2024, the average
time taken to pay an invoice from the date when the
contractual payment term starts to be calculated was of
around 67 days.
This average expresses the Group's average performance
across all supplier categories and regions.
The calculation consider all invoices paid during year 2024.
To calculate the days of payables outstanding, the invoice
amounts are weighted for the related payment days
(theoretical and actual) in order to obtain the overall
weighted average.
In 2024, no material legal proceedings started in
connection with claims for late payments to suppliers.

Vision and Mission

4.1 COMPANY PROFILE

As of the cross-border transaction from Italy to the Netherlands (the "Cross-Border Conversion"), effective 24 April 2024, Brembo N.V. ("Brembo" or the "Company") adopted the legal form of a public company with limited liability (naamloze vennootschap) governed by the laws of the Netherlands and relocated its registered office to Amsterdam, the Netherlands. At the same time, Brembo established its business and corporate headquarters (as secondary office with permanent representation pursuant to Article 2508 of the Italian Civil Code), at Via Stezzano 87 in Bergamo, Italy. The Company retained its tax residence and principal place of business in Italy.

Following the Cross-Border Conversion, the Company, listed on the Milan Stock Exchange since 1995:

  • has elected the Netherlands as its home Member State for the purposes of article 2(1) of Directive 2004/109/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 15 December 2004 (the so-called "Transparency Directive"), as incorporated into the Dutch Financial Supervision Act (Wet op het financieel toezicht);
  • has adopted a one-tier board structure as provided for by Dutch laws, with a Board of Directors consisting of Executive Directors and Non-Executive Directors, the latter being also in charge of supervising the Executive Directors' activities;
  • applies the Dutch Corporate Governance Code (the "DCGC"), whose purpose is to facilitate, in accordance with or in relation to other laws and regulations, a sound and transparent system of checks and balances within Dutch listed companies and, to that end, regulate relations between the Board of Directors, its

Committees (Audit, Risk and Sustainability Committee and Remuneration and Appointment Committee) and shareholders 1 .

To promote a corporate governance model aligned to the best practices, Brembo constantly monitors the governance principles and models generally adopted at the European (the Netherlands and Italy included) and international levels and compares them with its own structural and organizational elements for continuous improvement purposes.

1 It should be noted that the provisions of the DCGC primarily refer to companies with a two-tier board structure (consisting of a management board and a separate supervisory board), while Brembo has implemented a one-tier board. The best practices reflected in the DCGC for supervisory board members therefore apply by analogy to Non-Executive Directors. Brembo's Board of Directors recognizes the importance of good corporate governance and agrees with the general approach and most of the provisions of the DCGC; nevertheless, the deviations from the DCGC's best practices, in accordance with the "comply-orexplain principle", are set forth in Paragraph 3.8 "Compliance with the DCGC".

Furthermore, since the Cross-Border Conversion regarded only the registered office of the Company, with no impact on Brembo's legal relations, and since all the activities, people and management of Brembo remain located in Italy, the Organizational Model pursuant to Italian Legislative Decree No. 231/2001 continues to be applied seamlessly; at the same time, the Company's Supervisory Committee provided for under Legislative Decree No. 231/2001 (Organismo di Vigilanza) continues to operate, and monitor the adequacy of and the compliance with the Brembo organization, management and control model adopted pursuant to Article 6 of the said Legislative Decree No. 231/2001 (the "231 Model").

4.2.1 CAPITAL STRUCTURE AND ITS EVOLUTION

According to the Company's articles of association ("AoA"), Brembo has an authorized share capital amounting to €16,172,500, divided into ordinary shares and nine different classes of special voting shares (from A to I) ("Special Voting Shares" or "SVS"). The subscribed and fully paid-up share capital amounts to €7,007,202.04 and is made up of 333,922,250 ordinary shares, with a nominal value of €0.01 each, 9,135,412 Special Voting Shares A, with a nominal value of €0.01 each, and 178,831,271 Special Voting Shares B, with a nominal value of €0.02 each.

The current capital structure is the result of a series of amendments made in 2024 in the context of the Cross-Border Conversion. On 12 January 2024, before the finalization of the Conversion, Brembo announced a reinstatement of the par value of its ordinary shares, with voluntary share capital decrease, pursuant to Article 2445 of the Italian Civil Code, from €34,727,914.00 (subscribed and fully paid up, divided into 333,922,250 ordinary shares, without nominal value, with a unit par value of €0.104 each) to €3,339,222.50 (subscribed and fully paid up, divided into the same number of ordinary shares, without nominal value, with a unit par value of €0.01 each). The decrease was carried out without cancellation of shares and without any reimbursement of capital to shareholders, therefore, this decrease had no impact on Brembo shareholders' capital and administrative rights.

Said reinstatement of shares, resolved upon by the Shareholders' Meeting of 27 July 2023, was necessary for Brembo to comply with the Dutch legal framework, which does not allow public companies with limited liability to issue shares whose nominal value consists of more than two decimal places. Therefore, to specify into the

The current situation of the Company's subscribed share capital is the following:

AoA a nominal value of ordinary shares with only two decimal places, it had been necessary to proceed with the reinstatement. Furthermore, Dutch public companies with limited liability are not allowed to issue shares without express indication of nominal value and are required to specify the nominal value in their articles of association; therefore, a nominal value of €0.01 each was allocated to the ordinary shares in the AoA, effective as of the Cross-Border Conversion. At the same time, the share capital decrease was also aimed at creating the special capital reserve, to issue the Special Voting Shares to the shareholders who accrue the relevant right (as better explained in paragraph 2.2 below), drawing from the capital reserve, without any need to amend the AoA. Brembo intends to retain part of its future net income to fund the growth and development of its business. Therefore, Brembo adopted a Dividend Policy, most recently updated by the Board of Directors on 24 April 2024, following the Cross-Border Conversion. According to the Dividend Policy, the Company may only make distributions to its shareholders insofar as its equity exceeds the amount of the paid-in and called-up part of the issued capital plus the reserves as required to be maintained by Dutch law. The Board of Directors may, subject to Dutch law and the AoA, resolve to pay a dividend on the shares from one or more of the reserves that do not need to be maintained pursuant to Dutch law.

Payment of dividends

As the Company is an industrial holding company that conducts its business directly and through its subsidiaries, the Company's ability to pay dividends also depends on its subsidiaries' distributions to the Company. The amount and timing of any dividend distributions, however, depends on the laws of the subsidiaries' respective jurisdictions.

Every year, the Board of Directors determines the amount of profits to be added to reserves, considering the financial condition, earnings, cash needs, working capital developments, capital requirements (including requirements of subsidiaries) and any other factors that the Board of Directors deems relevant to determining such amount.

The Company's ability and intention to declare and pay dividends in the future mainly depend on its financial position, results of operations from the Company and its subsidiaries, investment prospects, the existence of distributable reserves and available liquidity, and such

other factors as the Board of Directors may deem relevant.

4.2.2 SPECIAL VOTING SHARES

As of the effective date of the Cross-Border Conversion, the AoA include a Special Voting Shares mechanism according to which loyal shareholders are eligible for allotments of Special Voting Shares, which grant additional voting rights to shareholders who are entitled to them by virtue of holding ordinary shares for a continued period. Such mechanism has strengthened shareholder engagement in a more effective manner; indeed, it is believed that a stable shareholder base is more likely to support longterm growth strategies aimed at fulfilling the Group's development through acquisitions and consolidation of companies.

The granting of additional voting rights according to the mechanism occurs through the matching of newly issued SVS with Brembo ordinary shares. SVS are provided for by the AoA and consist of nine (9) different classes of shares (numbered as A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H and I) that allocate an increasing progressive number of votes from 1 to 9 and are issued and allotted to loyal shareholders based on the holding period of their ordinary shares.

To benefit from the Special Voting Shares mechanism, shareholders must register their ordinary shares with the loyalty register established by Brembo and managed by Computershare S.p.A. by completing and submitting the relevant election form published on the Company's website at the page: Special Voting Shares | Brembo Corporate. After one year of the registration of an ordinary share in the loyalty register, the Company assigns one Special Voting Share A (granting 1 additional vote) for

4.2 INFORMATION ON SHARES AND SHAREHOLDING STRUCTURE

132

Financial Statements each ordinary share held for a continuous period of one year and, so that the relevant shareholder will be entitled to exercise a total of 2 votes for each such ordinary share. On each subsequent anniversary of registration in the loyalty register (and until the ninth anniversary), shareholders who have retained the ownership of the ordinary shares registered in the loyalty register shall be entitled to exercise an additional 1 vote (up to a maximum of 9 additional votes) by converting their Special Voting Shares — to which their ordinary shares are matched into the next class of Special Voting Shares (i.e., starting from converting SVS A into SVS B and so forth). Therefore, for each such ordinary share held, the shareholder is allocated an increasing number of additional voting rights up to a maximum of 9 voting rights (i.e., 10 voting rights in total per ordinary share), with the allotment of Special Voting Share I.

Special Voting Shares cannot be transferred to third parties, except under certain circumstances as specified in the SVS terms and conditions ("SVS Terms"). Ordinary shares associated with them, on the other hand, are freely transferable. However, to transfer such ordinary shares, shareholders must first request their deregistration from the loyalty register by completing and submitting, in the manner specified in the SVS Terms, the relevant form. As a result thereof, shareholders will no longer be entitled to the SVS associated with the relevant ordinary shares and the related voting rights.

Such conversion has not resulted in any changes to the Board of Directors appointed on 20 April 2023 (see table at page 135), which will remain in office until the end of the annual general meeting to be held in 2026.

Moreover, certain specific resolutions set out in the regulations of the Board of Directors ("Board Rules") require the approval of the Non-Executive Directors. 2

4.3.1.3 ROLE OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

The Board of Directors is charged with the management of the Company, which means that it is responsible for its continuity, and sustainable long-term value creation by the Company and its subsidiaries. The Board of Directors takes into account the impact and the actions of the Company and its subsidiaries have on people and the environment and to that end weighs the stakeholder interests that are relevant in this context. The responsibility for the management of the Company is vested collectively in the Board of Directors.

Moreover, the Board of Directors:

  • shall externally express concurring views with respect to important affairs, matters of principle and matters of general interest, with due observance of the responsibilities of individual Directors;
  • is responsible for compliance with all relevant laws and regulations;
  • is responsible for the corporate governance structure of the Company and compliance with the DCGC;
  • is responsible for creating a culture that contributes to sustainable long-term value creation of the Company;
  • promotes a culture of openness and accountability within the Board of Directors.

In defining Brembo's strategy, the Board of Directors, supported by the Committees, is inspired by values that express a concrete and practical desire to further develop its commitment to the environment, in an ever more responsible relationship with nature and its resources.

This is expressed in the Group Sustainability Plan (see Sustainability Statement), which describes the objectives, initiatives, and projects that the company will implement to create long-term sustainable value for its shareholders, taking into account the interests of other stakeholders.

The principles that drive sustainable long-term value creation have grown and evolved over time through concrete day-to-day practices (as described in the Sustainability Statement) that aim to balance economic decisions with an assessment of their social and environmental impact, always taking into account the expectations of all the Group's stakeholders.

In this scenario, the Group Sustainability Plan defined by the Board of Directors continued to guide Brembo's strategy, in line with the UN 2030 Agenda. Brembo's activities encompass all ESG areas - environmental, social and governance - and consider their impact on the Group, as well as the Group's impact on people, communities and the environment.

Brembo's participation in the Global Compact is testimony to its long-standing commitment to sustainability, which over the years has been characterized by a growing focus on numerous fronts and its adherence to the 17 Sustainable Development Goals defined by the UN's 2030 Agenda.

The willingness of the Board of Directors to operate in an increasingly responsible manner and to fully integrate sustainability into its business practices has led Brembo to implement a governance system dedicated to monitoring and managing these issues at a global level, as described in this Governance Report."

4.3.1.6 DIVERSITY CRITERIA AND POLICIES IN THE COMPOSITION OF THE BOARD: DIVERSITY TARGETS

The Company believes that diversity in the composition of the Board of Directors is an important means of promoting debate, balanced decision-making and independent board actions. Among others, factors such as demographics and physical and mental differences can play an important role. The presence of people with different backgrounds and experiences can create valuable insights and improve the way of working. The Company recognizes the benefits of having a diverse Board of Directors and sees diversity at Board of Directors' level as an important element in

maintaining a competitive advantage.

According to the Dutch provisions13 the Company has to set appropriate and ambitious gender14 diversity target figures for the Executive Directors, the Non-Executive Directors and management and draw up a plan to achieve these targets.15 In this regard – following the considerations made by the Remuneration and Appointment Committee and the Audit, Risk and Sustainability Committee — the Board of Directors has adopted on 30 July 2024 — in compliance with DCGC best practices — a new edition of the Policy on Non-Discrimination and Diversity, in which it has described — among other things — the Brembo's diversity board targets for a) the Executive Directors, b) the Non-Executive Directors and c) Management, and the plan to achieve these targets. Taking into consideration that the current term of office — also following the Cross-Border Conversion — will expire at the end of the annual general meeting to be held in 2026, the targets described below will be applicable starting from 2026.

The targets approved by the Board of Directors on 30 July 2024 are the following:

  • the representation of each gender in the cluster of Executive Directors: at least 25% upon renewal of the Board of Directors in 2026;
  • the representation of each gender16 in the cluster of Non-Executive Directors: at least 40% upon the renewal

15 In this context, "appropriate" means that the targets depend on the number of executive directors and non-executive directors within the Board of Directors and management, and on the existing ratio between men and women.

In this context "ambitious" means that the targets should aim to make the male-female ratio more balanced than the existing composition.

4.3.1.9 INDEMNIFICATION

Under Dutch law, indemnification provisions may be included in the company's AoA. Under the AoA, to the extent permissible by the rules and regulations applicable to the Company, the Company is required to reimburse current and former directors for (i) the reasonable costs of conducting a defence against claims for damages or of conducting defence in other legal proceedings, (ii) any damages payable by them and (iii) the reasonable costs of appearing in other legal proceedings in which they are involved as current or former directors, except proceedings primarily aimed at pursuing a claim on their

own behalf, based on acts or failures to act in the exercise of their duties or any other duties currently or previously performed by them at the Company's request, if and only if and to the extent the relevant costs and damages are not reimbursed on account of said other duties. There shall, however, be no entitlement to reimbursement and any person concerned will have to repay the reimbursed amount if and to the extent that: (i) a Dutch court, or in the case of arbitration, an arbitrator, has established in a final and conclusive decision that the act or failure to act of the person concerned may be characterized as willful (opzettelijk), intentionally reckless (bewust roekeloos) or seriously culpable (ernstig verwijtbaar) conduct, unless

Dutch law provides otherwise or this would, in view of the circumstances of the case, be unacceptable according to standards of reasonableness and fairness (redelijkheid en billijkheid); (ii) the costs or damages directly relate to or arise from legal proceedings between a current or former director and the Company or its Group; or (iii) the costs or financial loss of the person concerned are covered by insurance and the insurer has paid out the costs or financial loss.

The Company has in place adequate insurance covering the above claims against Directors currently in charge and former Directors (D&O insurance).

4.3.1.10 CONFLICT OF INTERESTS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS PROCEDURE

Any conflict of interest between the Company and Directors must be prevented. Where conflict of interests matters occurred, the Board of Directors has resolved such matters in compliance with the provisions of the AoA.

A Director shall without delay report any potential conflict of interest (or an interest which may have the appearance of such a conflict of interest) in a transaction and declaring the nature and extent of that interest to the other Directors. The Director may not participate in deliberating or decisionmaking within the Board of Directors, if with respect to the matter concerned, he or she has a direct or indirect personal interest that conflicts with the interests of the Company and the business connected with it. The Board of Directors shall decide, without the Director concerned being present, whether there is a conflict of interest.

During 2024, no transactions in conflict with Directors were reported.

Moreover, the Company has adopted a Related Party Transaction Procedure ("RTP Procedure" - Related Parties Procedure) that is complementary to the conflict of interest provisions under Dutch law, the Dutch Civil Code, the DCGC, the AoA and the Board Rules. The purpose of this procedure, as specified, inter alia, in the Code of Ethics, is to ensure transparency and the substantive and procedural handling of related party transactions safeguarding the Company's higher interests and to provide adequate protection for the interests of the Company and its stakeholders. As a rule, related party transactions may only be

concluded when strictly necessary in the Company's interest. More specifically, the procedure:

  • a) lays down the procedural rules governing its adoption and any further amendments and/or revisions;
  • b) categorizes related party transactions and defines 'Transactions of Greater Importance', 'Transactions of Lesser Importance' and 'Transactions of Small Amount', establishing distinct criteria to consider the counterparty's nature;
  • c) provides for exemptions from the applicable procedural rules;
  • d) lays down the procedural rules to be followed in examining and approving Transactions of Greater Importance and Transactions of Lesser Importance that are not exempted from the RPT Procedure (including those concluded between subsidiaries);
  • e) establishes the procedural rules and deadlines for providing information on related party transactions to the Audit, Risk and Sustainability Committee, which forwards binding and non-binding opinions

on the related party transactions, as well as to other departments within the Group; and

  • f) establishes the procedural rules and deadlines according to which the Audit, Risk and Sustainability Committee:
  • receives information on the application of exemptions as mentioned in point c) above, at least regarding Transactions of Greater Importance; and
  • assesses the correct application of conditions for exemptions of Ordinary Transactions and Transactions of Greater Importance conducted under market or standard equivalent terms.

Board of Directors' remuneration

Information on the remuneration of Directors and members of Board committees is provided in a specific report on remuneration, contained in this annual report, at paragraph 4.5.

Succession plan

On 17 December 2021, in line with the plan defined as of June 2011, following the resignation of Alberto Bombassei from the role of Chairman and member of the Board of Directors, the Board of Directors of Brembo S.p.A. approved the current organizational structure of the Brembo Group, which provides for Matteo Tiraboschi to serve as Executive Chairman and Daniele Schillaci as Chief Executive Officer.

Pursuant to best practice provision 2.2.4 of the DCGC, it should also be noted, with regard to succession matters, that — for each top management position — Brembo drew up a periodical and structured process,

On 14 November 2022, the Chief People & Organization Officer submitted the updated version of the Talent Management & Succession – Succession Planning annual system to the Remuneration and Appointment Committee.

4.3.2 BOARD COMMITTEES

Brembo has established two committees within its Board of Directors: (i) an Audit, Risk and Sustainability Committee, which operates as an audit committee pursuant to Dutch law and the DCGC, and (ii) a Remuneration and Appointment Committee, combining the remuneration and selection and appointment committee within the meaning of the DCGC, for the reasons specified in paragraph 3.8 of this governance report ('Compliance with the Dutch corporate governance code').

as summarized in specific documents approved by top managers, to identify both short- and medium-term successors, so as to be able to manage unforeseeable cases of replacement of executives in as prompt and orderly manner as possible, and ensure management stability. Each committee must inform the Board of Directors in a clear and timely way of the manner in which it has used attributed authority and of any major development in the area of its responsibilities. All Non-Executive Directors have unrestricted access to all committee meetings and records.

The composition, duties and functioning of the committees are defined in rules implementing the recommendations of the DCGC. Said rules have been approved by the Board of Directors on 24 April 2024, and they are available on the Company's website.

Without prejudice to the collegiate responsibility of the Board of Directors, the duty of the committees is to prepare the decision-making of the Board of Directors.

The Board of Directors receive, within the terms specified in the rules of each committee, reports from each committee of its deliberations and findings.

The Company has defined Brembo's Internal Control and Risk Management System consistent and compliant with the provisions of DCGC and, more generally, with the best national and international practices.

This system represents the set of organizational structures, rules and procedures that allows the main

business risks within the Group, of any kind, including risks relating to medium and long-term sustainability, to be identified, measured, managed and monitored, while helping the Company be run in a manner that is sound, correct and consistent with the objectives defined by the Board of Directors, and favouring the adoption of informed decisions consistent with the risk profile, as well as dissemination of a proper understanding of risks, lawfulness and corporate values, which are reflected in the Code of Ethics. It is an integral part of the Group's operations and culture and supports the efficiency and effectiveness of business processes, the reliability of financial and sustainability information and compliance with laws and regulations.

The Board of Directors, with the support of the Audit, Risk and Sustainability Committee, is tasked with defining the general guidelines of the Internal Control and Risk Management System, so that the main risks pertaining to the Company and its subsidiaries are properly identified, as well as adequately measured, managed and monitored. It shall also set criteria to ensure that such risks are compatible with sound and proper management of the Company. The Board of Directors is aware that the control processes cannot provide absolute assurances that the company objectives will be achieved, and the intrinsic risks of business are prevented, in a period characterized by strong volatility, uncertainty within the macro-economic context and growing geopolitical risks. However, it believes that the Internal Control and Risk Management System may reduce and mitigate the likelihood and impact of risk events associated with wrong decisions, human error, fraud, violations of laws, regulations and company procedures, as well as unexpected events such as, for instance, the conflict in Ukraine and previously the global pandemic.

The Board of Directors has already identified the key roles and responsibilities in the Internal Control and Risk Management System, through the approval of various company documents to which reference is made (Guidelines for the Brembo Internal Control and Risk Management System and the Policies for the implementation of the Internal Control and Risk Management System in accordance with international best practices and the standards of reference such as ISO31000 and the CoSO Framework.

Monitoring the adequacy and effective operation of the Internal Control and Risk Management System, as well as any revision thereof, is an essential part of the system's structure. The Internal Control and Risk Management System is therefore subject to regular examination and controls, taking account of developments in the Company's operations and reference context, as well as national and international best practices. Based on the roles and responsibilities already defined, various control bodies can be identified with responsibility for performing checks and expressing opinions on the Internal Control and Risk Management System.

The Internal Audit function, through periodical assessments in all legal entities, identifies critical risks that may affect the attainment of business objectives and may jeopardize value creation. The results of the periodical assessments are evaluated by the Audit, Risk and Sustainability Committee.

The overall and final assessment remains with the Board of Directors, which regularly expresses an opinion based on the reports produced by the Chief Internal Audit Officer, the Chief Sustainability & Risk Officer, the Audit, Risk and Sustainability Committee and the Supervisory Committee, not only to verify that the system exists and is being implemented within the Group, but also to carry out a regular detailed examination of its fitness and effective and concrete functioning.

Appropriateness of the Internal Control and Risk Management System for 2024

The Board of Directors examined the periodic reports of the Chairwoman of the Audit, Risk and Sustainability Committee (dated 30 July 2024 and 18 March 2025) and of the Executive Director in charge of the Internal Control

The Internal Control and Risk Management System as it relates to the financial reporting process

In accordance to the principles outlined by the CoSO Report, the Chief Administration and Finance Officer ("CAO") — in collaboration to the Financial Compliance Manager and supported by the Internal Audit function and, where applicable, by the evaluations provided by the Audit, Risk and Sustainability Committee — has defined the process to identify and assess the risks that might prevent the Company from achieving its objectives regarding the reliability of financial reporting.

and Risk Management System, as well as those concerning the activities undertaken and planned by the Company's Internal Audit function and the meetings conducted by the Chief Internal Audit Officer and the Chief Sustainability & Risk Officer, with the Executive Chairman and the CEO. Based on the foregoing, the Board of Directors shared the opinion expressed by the Chairwoman of the Audit, Risk and Sustainability Committee and acknowledged that the Internal Control and Risk Management System for the 2024 is appropriate to the Group's structure and type of business, suited to prevent the risks identified and able to ensure sustainable success. Furthermore, the accounting standards and procedures were properly applied for the purpose of preparing the periodic financial reports. The main risks for Brembo are described in the 2024 annual report, in section at paragraph 4.4. process or business changes, amendments or updates of accounting principles, etc.). The significant controls mapped in each process to mitigate the financial reporting risks identified during the risk assessment phase are formalized in specific documents (risk control matrices and flow charts). To assure the existence and the correct execution of the administrative and accounting procedures the CAO relies on the support of the Financial Compliance Manager (review and validation of the tests carried out by the process owners for the processes of their responsibility) and of the Internal Audit function (test on controls mapped by companies in light perimeter). The CAO, supported by the Financial Compliance Manager, defines a three-year audit plan that is carried out through scheduled annual test activities and includes all Group companies within the scope of financial compliance.

The process for identifying and assessing such risks is performed on a yearly basis. The CAO, in collaboration to the Financial Compliance Manager, is responsible to identify and take in consideration any significant change that during the year could affect the risk assessment (i.e., significant organizational changes, The Process Owner has the responsibility to identify all those events within his/her own process that could potentially affect the process itself and the reliability of the designed significant controls and promptly report them to the Financial Compliance Manager and the CAO. Twice per year, even if no specific events have occurred, the process owners must provide a formal notice attesting that the

mapped controls correspond to the practice adopted.

The Financial Compliance Manager and the Internal Audit periodically report to the CAO the activities performed and the test results.

Twice per year (in correspondence to the half-year and the year-end closing periods) the CAO, supported by the Financial Compliance Manager, requests to each Group company included in the financial compliance perimeter to submit an internal attestation letter in order to certify the accuracy and completeness of the financial reporting data communicated and to confirm the existence and proper functioning of the administrative and accounting procedures and related controls.

For each Group company the attestation letter must be double signed by the local CFO and the Country General Manager, while the Company is required to collect one specific attestation for each global business unit and one for People & Organization and one for Transformation global central functions.

Executive Director in charge of the Internal Control and Risk Management System

On 20 April 2023, the Board of Directors confirmed Cristina Bombassei in her role as Executive Director in charge of the Internal Control and Risk Management System.

  • bringing the Internal Control and Risk Management System into line with the current operating conditions, and legislative and regulatory scenario;
  • requesting the Internal Audit function to carry out audits of specific operating areas, as well as audits on compliance with internal rules and procedures in the performance of company transactions, in addition to informing the Executive Chairman of the Board of Directors and the chairwoman of the Audit, Risk and Sustainability Committee thereof concurrently;

The Executive Director in charge of the Internal Control and Risk Management System submitted this 2024 annual report to the Board of Directors at the meeting held on 18 March 2025.

Coordination between parties involved in the Internal Control and Risk Management System

Risk Management System has defined the "Policies for the Management of the Internal Control and Risk Management System" with the aim of tracing its overall integrated structure, so as to permit the main Company risks to be identified and managed and to design the Internal Control and Risk Management System in light of the current organizational structure, the legislative and regulatory framework and best practices. This is aimed at ensuring ongoing information flows among the various parties, with a view to greater efficiency and maximum mutual integration.

The Board of Directors approved the Guidelines for the Brembo Internal Control and Risk Management System, that indicates the objectives of the Internal Control and Risk Management System and describes its participants and bodies — both inside and outside the Company —, illustrates their responsibilities and defines methods of interaction and coordination of the various parties involved. In order to effectively implement these guidelines, the Executive Director in charge of the Internal Control and The Chief Internal Audit Officer reports hierarchically to the Board of Directors, and in operational terms to the Executive Chairman. He also interacts with the Audit, Risk and Sustainability Committee, the Director in charge of the Internal Control and Risk Management System and the Chief Executive Officer, in such a way as to ensure constant efficacy and the requisite of independence in the performance of his duties, in accordance with the Company's governance system, while drawing inspiration from best international practices. The Chief Internal Audit Officer is not responsible for any operational areas; he has direct access to all the information required to perform his duties.

4.3.3.1 INTERNAL AUDIT FUNCTION AND CHIEF INTERNAL AUDIT OFFICER

According to the recommendations of the Audit, Risk and Sustainability Committee and the Executive Director in charge of the Internal Control and Risk Management System, on 15 September 2022 the Board of Directors appointed Matteo Tradii as Chief Internal Audit Officer and defined his (fixed and variable) remuneration, in accordance with Brembo policies and current laws.

The Chief Internal Audit Officer reports the audit results at each meeting of the Audit, Risk and Sustainability Committee and of the Supervisory Committee and once a year to the Board of Directors on the adequacy of the Internal Control and Risk Management System, based on the outcome of the activities performed in the year of reference.

The findings of the Internal Audit function should, at least, include the following:

  • any flows in the effectiveness of the Internal Risk Management And Control Systems;
  • any findings and observations with a material impact on the risk profile of the Company and its subsidiaries; and
  • any failings in the follow-up of recommendations made by the Internal Audit function.

Each year, after having obtained a favourable opinion from the Audit, Risk and Sustainability Committee, the Board of Directors assesses and approves the audit plan and the Internal Audit function's budget.

The mission of Brembo's Internal Audit function is to ensure the performance of independent, objective assurance and advice activities aimed at improving the organization's efficacy and efficiency and assisting in achieving its objectives through a systematic professional approach oriented towards providing value-added services in all areas within its purview with a view to achieving continuous improvement.

  • the adequacy of the means used to manage them;
  • an assessment of the adequacy and efficacy of the Internal Control and Risk Management System, while promoting effective control, at reasonable costs, with special regard to:
  • the reliability and integrity of accounting, financial, management and non-financial information;

responsibility for managing its internal whistleblowing channel, as an autonomous, dedicated office with personnel specifically trained to manage the whistleblowing channel.

4.3.3.2 SUPERVISORY COMMITTEE

As of the Cross-Border Conversion, the Italian regulations set forth in Legislative Decree No. 231/2001, governing the administrative liability of companies and entities, has no longer applied to Brembo. Notwithstanding the foregoing, since Brembo only transferred its registered office to the Netherlands and not the production plants, the Company continues to apply 231 Model and the Supervisory Committee — set up pursuant to that legislation continues to operate.

The Supervisory Committee:

  • is fully independent within the Company, vested with autonomous powers of initiative and oversight, as well as with specific supervisory duties in respect of compliance with and the implementation and updating of the 231 Model;
  • is responsible for monitoring that the Company acts in compliance with the 231 Model and for proposing updates required under Italian law;
  • is made up of three members, all confirmed by the Board of Directors in the session that followed the shareholders' meeting of 20 April 2023, and they will continue to serve until the end of the annual general meeting to be held in 2026.

  • met with the supervisory committees of Group companies, where formed, to exchange information on the activities carried out during the reporting period;
  • attended the meetings of the Audit, Risk and Sustainability Committee for the matters within its responsibility and interest and to exchange information on a periodic basis.

To check that the 231 Model was implemented effectively, audit activities were carried out with the support of the Internal Audit function, based on a specific audit plan approved by the Supervisory Committee's action plan, and through the following activities:

• an analysis of the flow of information contained in the half-yearly report submitted to the Supervisory Committee by the internal functions of the Company and its subsidiaries;

  • meetings with the Heads of sensitive areas and/or functions within the meaning of Legislative Decree No. 231/2001;
    • an analysis of the reports received at the whistleblowing channel.

In acknowledging the ongoing updating of the 231 Model and its protocols and in keeping with the assessments previously expressed, the Supervisory Committee confirmed that the general structure of Brembo's 231 Model remains intact, and that the Internal Audit function's assurance and monitoring activities, the 231 risk assessment and the various reports submitted revealed no facts, acts, events or omissions that were critical in respect of compliance with the requirements of the 231 Model.

During the year, no violations of laws subject to the penalties provided for in Legislative Decree No. 231/2001 were reported.

4.3.3.3 CODE OF ETHICS AND BREMBO CORPORATE AND COMPLIANCE TOOLS

Brembo has grown extensively in recent years, expanding beyond Italy's borders to become a multinational industrial force that competes and does business on a global playing field. It is a transformation that has been clear for all to see and a source of pride for us all.

Obviously, this has introduced a great deal of complexity into how we do business, at a geographical, legislative and cultural level, demanding much more stringent standards of conduct that more effectively respond to new and very

diverse statutory requirements.

Brembo considers that transparent, ethical and compliant conduct, under all aspects, is essential for the Company's activities to be managed correctly. This means not only observing the current laws and regulations but also considering the expectations and aspirations of the various stakeholders.

To promote a Group's prevention policy, Brembo has implemented an integrated global compliance system, adopting a system of tools which apply to the entire Group (Brembo Corporate and Compliance Tools) designed to ensure a high ethical standard in business conduct. Having a Code of Ethics first and foremost means having respect for people. We are determined to ensure the same dignity and treatment for all the people who, in different

countries and continents, create and promote Brembo products and solutions, while providing everybody in the Brembo Group with a series of tools to convey the ethical values on which Brembo's reputation is founded and safeguarded, both inside and outside the workplace.

The Code of Ethics is the mainstay of this system, but the Code of Ethics must be read and interpreted together with the other documents considered essential for the development and dissemination of the Group's core values (i.e. Brembo Corporate and Compliance Tools). The Code of Ethics has been approved by the Board of Directors on 30 July 2024. The Code of Ethics, that applies to all Brembo subsidiaries, is a fundamental instrument to promote ethical behaviour and the culture of integrity, by respecting all diversities, in line with the growth and complexity of the Group on a geographical, legislative and cultural level. The primary goal of the Code of Ethics is to foster in us all

Antibribery
Code of
Conduct
the Board of Directors on 28 July 2022.
The Antibribery Code of Conduct is, in line with the principles entrenched in the Code of Ethics and international best practices,
aimed at:
• ensuring transparency principles;
• clearly delineating the bounds of permitted behaviour and ensuring compliance with antibribery regulations in force in all the
jurisdictions in which Brembo operates by any and all persons serving Brembo in any capacity whatsoever;
• ensuring the highest levels of integrity by defining, inter alia, Brembo's policy regarding the acceptance and offer of gifts,
hospitality and entertainment (i.e., the free provision of goods and/or services for promotional or public relations purposes).
The Antibribery Code of Conduct defines each party's responsibilities to ensure the observance of the highest standards of
integrity and avoid any suspicion of inappropriate motivations underlining the offer or acceptance of a gift or act of hospitality,
or an undue influence exercised on or by the recipient who accepts such an offer. The second edition of the Antibribery Code of
Conduct, approved by the Board of Directors on 27 July 2017, raises the maximum limit on Brembo merchandising gifts (intended
to promote the brand), while also requiring that subsidiaries adopt a merchandising catalogue like that of the Company.
In 2024, the Antibribery Code of Conduct was also extended to Brembo Thailand and its content was disseminated to its
employees. The related training to the employees will be provided within 2025.
Global Tax
Strategy
In 2019, Brembo started the implementation of the Tax Control Framework (set of rules, procedures, organizational structures
and control measures to allow the risk arising from the tax variable to be reported, measured, managed and controlled) so as to
guarantee that tax management (for both the Company and the Group) ensures to pursue the following objectives over time:
long-term growth of company assets and protection of the Group's reputation and the interests of its shareholders;
proper, timely calculation and payment of taxes due by law and fulfilment of the related obligations;
containment of tax risk, understood as the risk of violating national and international tax laws or abusing the principles and
purposes of the tax system. In particular, during the meeting held on 7 November 2019 the Board of Directors approved the
global tax strategy and the Company's tax strategy. The Company also implemented:
an Interpretative Tax Risk Management Policy, drafted in the form of a procedure applicable solely to the Company, designed
to ensure the consistency, objectivity and traceability of the interpretative decisions made by the Tax Function of the Company,
including by establishing appropriate rules for the processing of reaching such decisions;
the Brembo Group's Tax Compliance Model, which contains the organizational and governance guidelines that the company
functions of Brembo entities within the TCF scope follow to ensure proper management of tax risk.
There are multiple benefits resulting from implementing the Tax Control Framework (such as mitigation of the responsibilities of

The Procedure for the handling inside/relevant information defines the principles and rules governing the internal management and the disclosure of information concerning the operations of Brembo and the Group, with specific regard to inside and relevant information. The procedure applies, with binding effect, to directors, auditors, employees of Brembo and its subsidiaries as well as to external parties acting in the name and on behalf of the Company and its subsidiaries and who, for any reason, have access to information concerning Brembo and its subsidiaries. All other recipients of the procedure are required to keep documents and information acquired while carrying out their duties confidential, with reference to inside information. Notices to the authorities and public are issued according to the terms and procedures of applicable laws.

The Internal Dealing Procedure regulates on a mandatory basis the performance, also through third parties, of transactions in financial instruments of the Company by significant persons and persons closely related to them, and related disclosure to ensure greater transparency towards the market. The procedure, inter alia, sets forth that all relevant persons must refrain from effecting transactions unless priorly authorized by the Company, both performed on their own account or on behalf of third parties, directly or indirectly during the 30 days immediately preceding the publication of annual, semiannual, quarterly or other interim financial reporting (blackout periods).

Both procedures (approved by the Board of Directors on 24 April 2024, following the Cross-Border Conversion) are essential elements of the internal control and risk management system of Brembo and are part of the rules and regulations adopted by it to prevent the commission

of market abuse offences and crimes, and they are available on Brembo's website (Corporate Governance | Brembo Corporate).

4.3.7 COMPLIANCE WITH THE DUTCH CORPORATE GOVERNANCE CODE

Companies with registered office in the Netherlands whose shares are listed on a regulated stock exchange or comparable system are required pursuant to the DCGC to disclose in their annual reports whether or not they are complying with the various provisions of the DCGC and properly explain the relevant deviations or noncompliances.

Therefore, as of the Cross-Border Conversion, the Company decided to construct its corporate governance system inspired by and implementing, where possible, the principles and best practices set forth in the DCGC, in its latest edition (December 2022).

The Company has a governance structure made up of a one-tier board. Pursuant to the DCGC, the provision in the DCGC that relate to supervisory board members also apply to non-executive directors.

has combined the functions and the responsibilities of the remuneration committee and the selection and appointment

4.3.8 COMPLIANCE WITH THE ITALIAN CORPORATE GOVERNANCE CODE

As regards the Italian framework for corporate governance, Brembo has always considered also the Italian corporate governance code ("ICGC") applicable (starting from January 2021) to all companies with shares listed on Euronext Milan as a reference for best practices.

Notwithstanding the Cross-Border Conversion, the Company's corporate governance structure continues to be substantially in line with all the principles and recommendations set forth in the ICGC, especially since the Company has adopted, and complies with, the DCGC, which contains principles and best practice provisions largely similar to those highlighted in the ICGC, except for the following:

Main deviations compared to the ICGC

Ref. in ICGC – Deviations Justifications
Definitions Chief Executive
Officer (CEO)
Based on the Group's current organizational structure, there are several individuals who may be
characterized as holding primary responsibility for management of the Company, identifiable as those in
the following roles:
• Executive Chairman;
• Chief Executive Officer (CEO);
• the Director in charge of the Internal Control and Risk Management System and the Chief Legacy Officer;
• all designated Executive Directors, to whom the Board of Directors granted specific powers, authority,
duties and areas of responsibility.
Accordingly, all references in the Board performance assessment to the person holding primary
responsibility for management of the Company or CEO are specified in the Brembo ICGC as identifying one
of the roles indicated above by virtue of the powers, authority, duties and areas of responsibility defined by
the Board of Directors.
P.S.: In the Q&A included in the ICGC it is specified that companies normally identify a single executive director
as the person holding primary responsibility for management. However, the Board of Directors may identify
more than one such person where multiple Directors are attributed equivalent management powers.

Recommendation 4
Chairman's role
Based on the Brembo Group's organizational and corporate structure (company with concentrated
ownership), the Board of Directors has decided to assign an executive role to the Executive Chairman to
ensure optimal use of the wealth of knowledge, experience, values and skills gained over time, so that the
Group may continue its growth and development without interruption, in accordance and harmony with its
past and identity.
The independence of judgement of the Board of Directors in its activities is in any case ensured by the
presence of six (6) Directors qualifying as independent, whose professional expertise and authoritativeness
are an additional guarantee that all Board of Directors' decisions are taken in the sole interest of the Group
and its stakeholders, without being subject to any direction or interference from third parties representing
interests other than those of the Company.
Recommendation 7

The Board of Directors assesses on an annual basis, after the preliminary review by the Remuneration and

On the proposal of the Remuneration and Appointment Committee, the Board of Directors assigned
the Lead Non-Executive Director responsibility for coordinating the Board performance assessment, in
addition to determining that the process of evaluating and circulating the plan of activity and its results
would involve the participation of all independent Directors and not just the members of the Remuneration
and Appointment Committee.
This was determined considering the well-consolidated, effective methods used by the Lead Non-Executive
Director and independent Directors (who, inter alia, are members of the Remuneration and Appointment
Committee) to perform this activity in the course of the Board of Directors' previous terms and to proceed
in continuity with the previous editions of the Board performance assessment.

Pursuant to best practice provisions 2.2.6 and 2.2.7 of the DCGC, the Board of Directors in office from 20 April 2023, initiated a three-year self-assessment process broken down into three stages, in line with the 2023-2025 Board term as follows:

term
• End-of-term evaluation with the aim of
obtaining substantial indications in view of
the renewal of corporate offices and thus the
composition of the new Board of Directors.
Possibility of using an external consultant, as
recommended by the DCGC.

Based on Board performance evaluation/assessment three-year program 2023-2025, as 2024 is the second year of the current Board of Directors' term of office and there have been no changes in the composition of the Board of Directors and its committees, the Non-Executive Directors agree to focus on the following topics:

  • progress analysis against the suggestions that emerged last year in Board performance evaluation/assessment 2023 (where possible); and
  • functioning of the Board of Directors and its committees, in accordance with the principles set forth in the DCGC and the new regulations adopted by the Company.

The work plan was shared by the Lead Non-Executive Director in the meeting with the independent Directors on 16 October 2024 and then presented to the Board of Directors on 7 November 2024.

The assessment is conducted by the Directors filling in questionnaires. Brembo's Legal and Corporate function deals with the collection and management of feedback confidentially. The assessment considers the replies of the Non-Executive Directors who expressed their views completing the questionnaires.

The assessment includes the evaluation of the Board of Directors and its Committees relating to their performance, working methods, procedures and functioning other than the individual position of each member. The findings were highly positive, indicating that the Not Executive Directors believe the Board functions very well. It was collectively concluded that there is ample opportunity for open and constructive discussions and sessions are managed with an openness to dialogue. The results highlight an excellent functioning also of the Committees and extremely detailed and accurate direct dialogue with the main functions of the company. The outcomes of the assessment of each BoD member position highlight: 1) All Directors meet the requirements of goodstanding, integrity, professionalism and respectability required by current Dutch laws and regulations 2)It is confirmed that the composition of the Board of Directors is already aligned with the gender diversity ratio targets for the Board of Directors approved in the DEI Policy on 30 July 2024, as the Board of Directors is composed of 11 members, 5 of whom belong to the least represented gender (including 1 executive and at least 3 non-executive directors). 3) The following Directors meet the independence requirements of the DCGC (article 2.2.8) and of the Board Rules: Elisabetta Magistretti, Elizabeth Marie Robinson, M. Soffientini, Michela Schizzi, Giancarlo Dallera and Gianfelice Rocca 4) On the basis of the effective and constant participation in Board meetings and in the company's various management activities by individual Directors, the offices held by Directors in other companies are considered compatible i) with the effective performance of the office in Brembo insofar as each Director is able to guarantee the time necessary for its effective and diligent performance, also in consideration of the provisions of the DCGC; and ii) with the limit set forth in Brembo's CCG and the Rules of the Board of Directors,

in relation to the maximum number of 4 positions in listed companies, excluding those where the Director also holds significant shareholdings; and iii) with the limit provided by Dutch law in relation to a maximum of five supervisory or non-executive positions (including the non-executive position with the company) in major Dutch companies. 5) No Director - is a shareholder of any company competing with Brembo N.V.

4.4 RISK MANAGEMENT

4.4.1 RISK MANAGEMENT PROCESS

Risk management is key to protecting the Company's value in a historical period that continues to be marked by great volatility and uncertainty at global level. This is particularly relevant for the automotive sector, which is facing major transformations from different perspectives (technological, geographical, etc.) that create both risks and opportunities.

At Brembo, risk management is strongly embedded in the decision-making and business management processes and is considered instrumental to achieving the Company's long-term objectives. Within its Internal Control and Risk Management System (see section 4.1.3.4 Internal Control and Risk Management System for more information about Brembo ICRMS), Brembo has established an Enterprise Risk Management framework that defines processes to be followed by corporate functions to identify, assess, manage and monitor company risks. This framework includes the maintenance of a Risk Register, which is updated at least once a year and encompasses the main risks, including the emerging ones, that the Group may face in the short and medium term, as well as the related mitigating actions ("as is" and "to be"). Risks are also monitored during regular management meetings where the results, opportunities and risks for all business functions and all geographies in which Brembo operates are analysed and where necessary actions are also defined to mitigate new internal or external risks emerged during corporate activities.

Brembo has always pursued a careful approach to Risk Management.

After moving its legal domicile to the Netherlands in 2024, Brembo began developing its Risk Appetite Framework to

comply with the Dutch Corporate Governance Code.

statement for each risk family. The risk appetite will be and high.

risks, when insurable, to the insurance market.

The Risk Appetite Framework will be part of the Company's Internal Control and Risk Management System. It will include key concepts such as risk capacity, risk appetite, risk tolerance, and residual risk profile. Based on the Company's risk model, it will categorize risks into strategic, operational, legal and compliance, and financial families. The Company will define its risk appetite and risk interruption, general liability, general product liability, product recall, marine and transportation, environmental liability and Directors & Officers liability. Additional coverage has been arranged locally based on the specific requirements of local legislation, collective labour contracts and/or corporate agreements. Insurance analysis and transfer of the risks to which the Group is exposed are conducted in collaboration with a leading insurance broker, which supports this process with its international organization and is also responsible for the compliance and management of Group insurance programmes at global level.

Brembo's changing needs through the years have been largely and specifically reflected in its customized insurance coverages, which have been optimized and upgraded to significantly decrease the Company's exposures. Thanks to international insurance programmes, all Brembo Group companies are currently covered against the following key risks: property all risks and business

rated using a system with four levels: averse, low, medium, Specific tolerances will be also defined for certain risks. The Audit, Risk and Sustainability Committee will review the Risk Appetite document, and the Board of Directors will approve it in the first half of 2025. RISK FINANCING In order to minimize the volatility and financial impact of possible detrimental events, Brembo transfers the residual In line with the approach pursued also by other multinationals, in 2023, Brembo set up its own captive reinsurance company — Brembo Reinsurance AG based in ZÜrich, Switzerland — that reinsures a portion of the risks transferred to the insurance market, such as liability, product recall, property damage, and business interruption. This operation, also driven by the expansion of the Brembo Group's business, stemmed from the strategic need to increase the Group's level of autonomy towards the insurance market trends, characterized in recent years by a hard market phase and the shrinking of the available capacity, as well as from the need to enhance the flexibility of the Group's risk transfer strategy.

4.4.2 RISK FACTORS AND MITIGATION STRATEGIES

The Group is exposed to the consequences of both volatility and changes of external factors (eg. currencies fluctuations) and internal risks associated to business operations and processes. In order to mitigate its business risk exposures the Group implements relevant mitigation

strategies aimed at reducing the likelihood occurrence and the potential impact of those risks: d) strategic risks e) operational risks f) legal and compliance risks g) financial risks The risks outlined below are not exhaustive. There may be additional risks, currently unknown to Brembo or deemed immaterial, that could evolve into significant factors affecting the Group. For an in-depth focus on the Sustainability risks, please

The order in which the risks are discussed does not imply classification in terms of probability of occurrence or possible impact.

STRATEGIC RISKS

Geopolitical Instability and Macroeconomic Risks

Key topics: geopolitical instability, trade tariffs, supply chain resilience, economic conditions, deterioration of macro indicators

Having an international footprint and business partners worldwide, Brembo is exposed to risks related to geopolitical conditions. This is especially exacerbated in the current context of increasing geopolitical tensions, with a number of political and economic disputes and conflicts both at regional and global level. For nearly all companies, such tensions have or could have a ripple effect on the supply chain resilience, translating into trade tariffs and impacting sales and manufacturing processes

1. 2. 3. 4. 5.
Corporate Directors' Sustainability Corporate Financial
Highlights Report Statement Governance Statements

and the value of corporate assets worldwide. Brembo's exposure to geopolitical risks is "naturally" hedged through geographical diversification both in terms of production/supply chain footprint and sales, that thus allows to balance off the risk at Group level. In addition, thanks to a largely "local for local" approach, handling of raw materials and products is generally limited, thus reducing also the exposure to the risk of supply chain disruption. Brembo constantly monitors the development of political, financial and security risks associated with the countries in which the political and economic context could prove unstable in the future. In case of escalation, the Crisis Committee is activated to define and implement the most adequate risk management solutions as soon as possible. Brembo's results are also exposed to the effects of macroeconomic factors (e.g., GDP fluctuations, interest rates level, inflation, energy and commodity prices, global trade trends) that might impact the demand level and Brembo's operational and financial performance. Brembo's focus on the top-end and premium market and its geographical diversification translate into a lower Group overall exposure to the volatility of those factors. In order to constantly align its production and sales forecasts and monitor the risks associated with macroeconomic and demand changes, Brembo keeps constant control of its order portfolio, the performance of the automotive market in the various countries in which it operates and the related macroeconomic indicators.

Innovation

Key topics: competitors' innovation, intellectual property protection, success of Brembo's R&D and product development strategy

Brembo is exposed to risks associated with the evolution of technology, namely the risk that more competitive and/

Key topics: structural changes of the automotive industry, growth of new OEMs, crisis of traditional OEMs, protectionism, changes in regulations, electrification

or disruptive products, technologies and/or more efficient processes are developed. In order to maintain its competitive edge, also in the Motorsport sector, Brembo invests sizeable resources in R&D, conducting applied and basic research on both existing and newly applied technologies, such as those associated with digital innovation, in addition to mechatronic. For additional information, reference should be made to the Research and Development section in the Directors' Report on Operations. Product and process innovations — those currently being used, as well as those that may be used for production in the future — are patented to protect the Group's technological leadership. The Intellectual Property Rights function within the Research and Development GCF is responsible for managing patents and, more generally, all aspects associated with protecting the Group's IPR, in addition to monitoring Brembo's potential infringement of third parties' IPR. weak results and profit warnings, which could be further exacerbated in 2025 by the fines imposed by the EU for not fulfilling the emission limits set by the Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) regulation. Brembo targets the top-end and premium segments of the automotive sector and generates most of its sales in Europe, North America and China. Nevertheless, Brembo remains subject to the risks associated with the transformation that is impacting the automotive industry. In order to reduce the risk of segment/market saturation in the countries where it operates, the Group has forged ahead with its sales geographical diversification strategy, increasingly and successfully looking for business opportunities with new OEMs, and is gradually broadening its product range by developing new products, solutions and services for its customers, in line with its corporate mission statement.

The automotive industry is undergoing a profound and structural transformation mostly driven by the electrification. Such transition is posing several challenges to traditional OEMs as they must concurrently deal with new and more stringent regulations, the success of new competitors, the slowing demand in the EU and the rise of more protectionist stances at political level. This is generating pressures on traditional OEMs on several fronts (loss of market share, industrial overcapacity, labour conflicts) and is translating, for many of them, into

Climate Change Key topics: climate change transition, physical risks

Brembo is strongly committed to responding to the challenges posed by climate change, to improving the Group's resilience and to seizing the opportunities arising from the transition to a low-carbon economy. A key element to achieve this objective is the active management of climate-related risks and opportunities and their impacts. In this context, Brembo has been conducting a Climate Change Risk Assessment (CCRA) in line with the recommendations of the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) for some years. The evaluation, which is updated annually with the support of an external specialized firm, involves a scenario analysis and qualitative and quantitative assessment of the main risks and opportunities with regard to physical risks and transition risks over various time horizons. Main exposures to physical risks regard: flood risk, limited to certain sites which are already protected with hydraulic barriers; water stress, for which specific mitigation solutions have been implemented (water supply alternatives, storages, etc.); and atmospheric events (for which limited impacts are expected). The main opportunities generated by the climate change transition include the possibility of expanding the Group's segments and value chain thanks to new products (e.g., Sensify) and the appreciation and spread in the market of products with a high environmental performance (e.g., Greenance Discs). Additional possible risks include the spread of alternative mobility solutions, risks in connection to the achievement of the net zero target and the possible implementation of systems of taxation associated with externalities (e.g., "cap-and-trade" systems). For further details, reference should be made to the Sustainability Statement section of this Annual Report.

Investment Projects

Key topics: country risks, natural hazards,

damages to assets, interdependencies Investments in certain countries may be influenced by major modifications of the local regulatory framework, which could result in changes in the economic conditions existing at the time of the investment. Moreover, climate change is reshaping the appeal of industrial production sites — and in the future it will perhaps redefine also their suitability — because of high or increasing exposures to risks such as water scarcity and natural hazards. For this reason, before investing in a country, Brembo assesses the country risks and the site's exposure to natural hazards.

1. 2. 3. 4. 5.
Corporate Directors' Sustainability Corporate Financial
Highlights Report Statement Governance Statements

Additionally, risks connected to real-estate developments (delays, damages, liabilities, etc.) are managed through the support of different internal functions and external consultants.

As regards M&A activities, transactions are coordinated by Business Development Global Central Function in order to mitigate the risks through a structured due diligence process. The evaluation of the target risks plays a central role in this process and also covers Environmental, Social and Governance aspects.

OPERATIONAL RISKS

The main operating risks, which are intrinsic in the nature of Brembo's business, are associated with the supply chain, the unavailability of production facilities, product quality, Information Technology, the environment, health and safety, and people and organization.

Supply Chain

Key topics: single sourcing, high dependency on suppliers, supply chain resilience, logistics and transportation, suppliers' quality, suppliers' compliance to sustainability requirements

The main risks associated with the supply chain include dependence on single suppliers, i.e., the event in which supplier disruption may jeopardize Brembo's ability to fulfil clients' orders in a timely manner. In response to this risk, the Purchasing GCF identifies, where possible, alternative suppliers as potential replacements for goods and services deemed strategic, whereas the Quality GCF monitors and ensures the robustness and stability of the supply chain in providing products that meet the

requirements of Brembo and its customers.

The supplier monitoring process has been reinforced for the purpose of prevention, particularly as regards suppliers' financial stability, which is expected to be under increasing pressure in 2025 due to the potential effects on suppliers' profitability of the automotive market trends (OEMs' market share redistribution, UE market stagnation), and the availability of production capacity even to face sudden demand fluctuations and/or difficulties linked to logistics and transportation — aspects that have become increasingly important following the pandemic emergency, the conflict in Ukraine and the spread of the effects of the Israeli-Palestinian war to the Red Sea, associated with the redefinition of maritime routes and the concurrent Panama Canal restrictions on transit volumes.

Those preliminary measures are part of the actions put in place to mitigate the risk of disruption/limitation of Brembo's operations due to events related to its supply chain. In particular, besides its broadly "local for local" approach that reduces the handling of raw materials and products, strategies adopted include production replanning/reallocation, changes in the transport channels and constant monitoring of the order backlog, also with a view to properly managing stocks. Brembo considers as highly relevant the sustainability of its supply chain and has defined, in a specific policy, the requirements for its suppliers on topics such as labour and human rights, health and safety, ethics and environment. Specific assessment and monitoring measures have been implemented to mitigate the risk of supplier's noncompliance with the principles and requirements set out in the above-mentioned policy.

Property Damage and Business Interruption Key topics: natural hazards, utilities supply discontinuity, damages to assets, production and deliveries disruption, interdependencies

Natural or accidental events (e.g., flood, earthquakes or fires), malicious behaviour (e.g., acts of vandalism) or systems malfunctioning may result in damage to assets, unavailability of production facilities and discontinuity of operation of such facilities.

In order to monitor its exposure to natural hazards, Brembo carries out specific assessments by means of different tools and databases (see also section Sustainability Statement in this Annual Report). In addition, Brembo has reinforced its risk mitigation process, through the planning of loss prevention engineering activities. The aim of this process is to reduce risk factors in terms of probability of occurrence and to implement protective measures aimed at limiting the impact of this risk and maintaining the operating continuity levels of the Group's production facilities.

Furthermore, Brembo's expansion of its industrial capacity is also contributing to mitigating its business interruption risk and to strengthening Brembo's resilience in case of a disruptive event involving one of its production plants.

Product Quality

Key topics: safety and quality, recall, product liability, suppliers' quality

As braking systems, together with other vehicle's components and features, plays a fundamental role in ensuring the vehicle's safety, Brembo attaches utmost importance to the risk related to product features, both in terms of safety and quality.

As well known, safety represents a very critical topic within the entire automotive industry, as demonstrated

for instance by the number of recall campaigns occurred in the past in this sector. The Group has a consolidated experience and has always been committed to mitigating this risk through robust and efficient product design, product and components traceability, and quality management, both at its own plants and at suppliers'. As part of this process, Brembo has established a worldwide Supplier Quality Assurance function, specifically dedicated to quality control of components, in addition to constantly optimising prevention activities, such as for instance the Failure Mode & Effect Analysis (FMEA).

In addition, the Quality GCF bears global responsibility for properly managing binding requirements and the safety behaviour of products, with particular regard to the risk of recall from the market, for which specific company procedures have been set up in order to properly and timely manage the related risk. Preliminary feasibility analysis involving suppliers are also carried out to enable adequate management of technical risks as soon as from the initial development phases, thereby ensuring product durability.

Information Technology

Key topics: IT systems continuity, data protection, cybersecurity, artificial intelligence

Brembo considers the operating continuity of its IT systems to be a significant priority and it has implemented a framework for managing cyber risks aimed at ensuring business continuity and the availability, integrity and confidentiality of data, while also ensuring compliance with the European GDPR and the national legislation applicable in the countries in which it operates. These issues are growing in importance also in light of the start of the Group's smart factory (Industry 4.0) process

1. 2. 3. 4. 5.
Corporate Directors' Sustainability Corporate Financial
Highlights Report Statement Governance Statements

and the implementation of the strategic pillars associated with the corporate mission.

In 2020, the Group's three Italian companies were certified according to the ISO 27001 international standard, which sets the requirements and defines the methods for proper, secure management of information within the Company. Over the years, certification was extended to Poland, the Czech Republic and North America.

A Security Operations Center (SOC), reporting to the Head of Information Security, was also established to ensure real-time monitoring of cyber events in order to prevent and promptly react to possible cyber attacks. As part of its Ishango programme, Brembo is implementing or migrating towards new digital systems/ solutions. This programme involves the migration of Group companies' ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning), starting with pilot projects. In 2024, the first two pilot projects have been implemented. As part of the project governance framework, the related risks have been evaluated and their mitigation strategies defined.

Artificial Intelligence

Key topics: artificial intelligence, Brembo Solutions, cybersecurity

Brembo continues to develop its own AI solutions, both to improve its processes in terms of efficiency and quality, and to effectively respond to the needs of Brembo Solutions customers. Furthermore, the Group is using licensed AI solutions provided by third parties for internal processes and tasks, including tools to protect itself from cyber attacks. The risks concerning AI use are related with its responsible, safe and efficient use, while failing in the implementation of AI technologies could lead to suboptimal business decisions and jeopardize the Group's competitive ability. The mitigation actions put in place by

Environment, Safety and Health

Key topics: working conditions, workers' health and safety, environmental protection, pollution, pandemics

the Group are based on two main pillars: creating an AI team formed by qualified and skilled developers and data scientists, and properly educating the internal users to the correct, efficient and responsible use of AI tools. In addition, AI aggravates the risk of fraud as more sophisticated attempts exploiting AI features (deepfakes, social engineering, phishing campaign, etc) could target Brembo, causing financial damage and/or loss of information. Mitigating actions include: double signature for payment execution, bank power of attorney approved by the Board, release of guidelines on AI use, ISO 27001 controls in place, Antispam, Antivirus and IP filtering systems. environmental matters. For more information about Environmental, Health & Safety aspects, reference should be made to the Sustainability Statement section of this Annual Report. Planning and Reporting Key topics: financial and sustainability reporting consistency and reliability, doublemateriality analysis As a listed company, in addition to applying a precautionary approach in managing compliance matters, Brembo complies with applicable financial reporting standards and regulations.

These types of risks are intrinsic to the nature of corporate industrial operations. The Group manages them by carrying out ongoing and systematic evaluations of its exposure to specific risks and reducing or eliminating those considered unacceptable. This process is organized within a Management System that covers health and safety, as well as environmental aspects, and that is compliant with the international ISO 45001 and ISO 14001 standards, respectively, and certified by an independent body. In summary, the Group has implemented systematic rules and management procedures that allow it to minimize the number of accidents, as well as the impact they may have. A clear-cut assignment of responsibility at all levels, the presence of independent internal control bodies up to the Company's highest officers, and the application of best practices in terms of international management standards testify to the Group's commitment to health, safety and

An ERP software is implemented at nearly all Group companies in order to prepare accurate and reliable financial reporting for the Group, while also improving the Internal Control and Risk Management System and the quality, timeliness and comparability of the data provided by the various consolidated companies. As mentioned in the Information Technology section, as part of the Digital Transformation Programme, the Group is expected to be gradually migrated to the new ERP IT programme, according to the project timelines centrally defined at global level. The quality and reliability of the reporting, as well as the security of Brembo's assets, are exposed to the risk of fraud. This is defined as an intentional act perpetrated by internal stakeholders or third parties with the aim of obtaining unlawful advantages and potentially resulting in errors in financial statements and/ or misappropriation of the Company's assets. To mitigate such risk, Brembo implements specific measures that include: Financial Compliance guidelines, Code of Ethics, 231 model and local compliance program, Anti-Bribery Code of Conduct, whistleblowing channel, property loss control inspections, CCTV cameras and security guards.

In compliance with applicable sustainability reporting regulations, Brembo manages and monitors the achievement of its internal sustainability targets and its compliance with regulatory requirements. In order to mitigate the risk of non-conformity and/or incorrectness of the reporting, Brembo adopts best practices and avails of specialized external advisors to support the preparation of sustainability reporting.

People and Organization

Key topics: diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI), talent attraction and retention

Brembo is committed to promoting a fair and inclusive environment, and to fostering a culture of respect for diversity and inclusion. Similarly, the Company adopts, maintains and improves systems and processes designed to eliminate slavery and human trafficking from its business. While strongly focused on achieving these goals, the Company is exposed to the risk of delays in the implementation of its strategic plan in these fields and to the risk of partial non-accomplishment of its objectives. Mitigation actions include a clear and committed governance, specific training initiatives aimed at improving awareness, disseminating a solid DEI culture and preventing any form of discrimination, access for the employees to specific programmes of assistance and support, active monitoring through communication channels (e.g. whistleblowing) open to the employees as well as to all stakeholders.

Attracting and retaining qualified personnel with the required background, values, set of skills and motivation is key for the present and future success of Brembo. However, the new trends and challenges in the labour market worldwide may affect Brembo's capability to recruit and retain talents. Additionally, the success of the

1. 2. 3. Corporate 5.
Corporate Directors' Sustainability 4. Financial
Highlights Report Statement Governance Statements

Company's strategy is increasingly relying on skills (e.g. data and software) that are particularly sought-after in the market.

Several measures are implemented by the Company to address and mitigate the above-mentioned risks, among others: enhanced recruiting and employer branding strategy, continuous benchmark of the compensation and benefits offered, implementation of talent attracting and retaining strategies, monitoring of employees engagement, training and skill upgrade strategies, strengthened partnerships with universities, schools and R&D centres.

LEGAL AND COMPLIANCE RISKS

Brembo is exposed to risks arising from the failure to rapidly comply with changing laws and new regulations in the sectors and markets in which it operates. To mitigate this risk, each compliance function stays abreast of the relevant legal and regulatory developments, with the assistance of outside consultants, where necessary, through a constant process of legal and regulatory updates and research.

Legal

Key topics: litigation, personal data processing

With reference to contractual matters and litigation, the Legal and Corporate Affairs GCF had defined a structured contractual management process and periodically monitors the progress of existing and potential litigations, determining the strategy to be applied and the most appropriate steps to take in managing them, involving specific corporate functions and major external law firms. The risk of presence of counterfeited products in the

AM (especially in the Far East) is also managed by the Legal and Corporate Affair GCF with the support of other functions by applying multiple approaches and actions (e.g., online and local investigations, QR code, etc.). In the 2024 cross-border conversion from Italy to The Netherlands, Brembo was assisted by external consultants specialized in the matter, who contributed to assessing all possible non-compliance risks linked to the transaction.

Tax

Key topics: local tax laws and regulations, tax control framework

With reference to the risk of non-compliance with tax laws and regulations, or of operating in conflict with the principles or spirit of the systems in the jurisdictions in which the Group operates, in accordance with the guidelines laid down in the Global Tax Strategy and Brembo N.V.'s Tax Strategy adopted in 2019, Brembo pursues the goal of proactively managing the tax risk by ensuring that such risk is timely recognized, properly measured, monitored and contained through the Tax Control Framework.

Compliance

Key topics: product regulations, value-chain regulations, market abuse regulations, antitrust regulations, corporate governance regulations, code of ethics and code of conduct

The regulatory environment in which international companies like Brembo operate is continuously evolving and becoming more multifaceted. As all other companies, Brembo faces the theoretical risk of breaching national, international and industry regulations (e.g., product regulations, including regulations on chemicals, market abuse, antitrust etc.). As a

consequence, the Company may be exposed to fines, legal
penalties, and reputational damage.
More specifically, increasing effort is demanded by
regulatory requirements on trade compliance (CBAM, EU
Deforestation Regulation, dual-use export controls, "Made
In" labels, plastic tax, US Custom legislation, sanctions
and embargo rules, etc.), alongside other more traditional
compliance matters (privacy, market abuse, antitrust
regulations, administrative liability, etc.).
The mitigating measures taken by the Group are aimed
at ensuring the global spread of a culture of compliance
through the establishment of specific principles of ethics
and conduct, in addition to identifying compliance
functions and processes and constantly monitoring legal
changes. The application of the provisions and preventive
measures takes also the form of training activities and
progressive monitoring conducted by competent bodies
within the framework of ordinary regulatory activities.
For example, in the area of personal data processing,
the Group is supported by a Data Protection Officer and
other dedicated functions, such as the Privacy Supervisory
Board and the Privacy Reference Persons identified in
sensitive company areas, in order to guarantee compliance
to applicable data protection laws and regulations (e.g.,
GDPR in Europe).

FINANCIAL RISKS

In conducting its business, the Brembo Group is exposed to various financial risks, including interest rate, exchange rate, liquidity and credit risks. Financial risk management is the responsibility of the Corporate Treasury & Credit area, which, together with the Group's Finance Department and the Purchasing function, evaluates the main financial transactions and related hedging policies. The various risk management strategies adopted by the

Group are illustrated in greater detail here below.

Interest Rate and Exchange Rate Risks Key topics: interest rates, exchange rates Since its financial debt is partly subject to variable interest rates, Brembo is exposed to the risk of interest-rate fluctuations. To reduce this risk, the Group has entered into several medium/long-term fixed-rate loan agreements, as well as specific hedging contracts (IRS), which account — including lease liabilities — for approximately 46% of gross financial position.

The objective is to eliminate the variability of the borrowing costs associated with a portion of debt and benefit from sustainable fixed rates. The Group's Corporate Treasury & Credit area constantly monitors rate trends in order to evaluate in advance the need for any changes to the financial indebtedness structure.

Brembo operates in international markets and it is therefore exposed to exchange rate risks. To mitigate this risk, the Group relies on natural hedging (offsetting receivables and payables) and only hedges net positions in foreign currency, using mostly, and where advisable, forward contracts in order to reduce exchange rate risk exposure.

Commodity Risk

Key topics: raw materials and commodities prices, energy price

Through a dedicated task force, the Brembo Group closely analyses and monitors the course of the risk associated with fluctuations in the prices of raw materials and commodities. In particular, the Group undertakes specific financial transactions to hedge against the risk of energy price fluctuation and a financial hedge aimed at mitigating aluminium price fluctuation.

1. 2. 3. Corporate 5.
Corporate Directors' Sustainability 4. Financial
Highlights Report Statement Governance Statements

Moreover, fixed prices are set in supply contracts with certain commodities suppliers for a given period of time and the contracts in place with the main customers also provide for automatic periodic indexing on the basis of commodities prices. Both these approaches mitigate the risk of fluctuations in commodities prices.

Liquidity Risk

Key topics: financial resource availability, cash management, debt management

Liquidity risk can arise from Brembo's inability to obtain the financial resources necessary to guarantee its operation. The Corporate Treasury & Credit area implements the main measures indicated below in order to minimize such risk:

  • it constantly assesses estimated financial requirements to ensure that appropriate measures are taken in a timely manner (obtaining additional credit lines, capital increases, etc.);
  • it obtains adequate credit lines;
  • it optimizes liquidity, where feasible, through cashpooling arrangements;
  • it ensures that the composition of net financial debt is adequate for the investments carried out;
  • it ensures a proper balance between short- and medium-/long-term debt.

Credit Risk

Key topics: credit management, customer financial rating, changes in the customer base

Credit risk is the risk that a customer or one of the parties to a financial instrument will cause a financial loss by failing to perform an obligation. Exposure to credit

risk arises, in particular, in relation to trade receivables. Brembo has traditionally entered into commercial dealings primarily with leading car and motorbike makers. More recently, however, with a view to expanding its customerbase and implementing its geographical diversification strategy, the Group has also started to establish important business relations with new OEMs. This strategic move, coupled with the tensions in the automotive industry discussed in the Strategic Risks — Market Trends section, has contributed to further increasing the Company's attention to this risk. Mitigation actions focus on credit monitoring, so that situations where there is a risk of insolvency or late payment with respect to contractual terms can be anticipated, and, where possible, on active management of the customer relationship in case of distress.

4.5.1 LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN

Dear Shareholders,

As the chairman of the Remuneration and Appointment Committee, I am pleased to present the 2024 remuneration report approved by the Board of Directors on 18 March 2025. This document has been prepared in compliance with the regulatory provisions in force in the Netherlands.

The year 2024 was marked by a challenging global context. The geopolitical and macroeconomic environment presented complexities that required adaptability and resilience. Brembo continued to address these challenges with a forward-looking approach, focused on agility and innovation in a changing landscape by investing in strengthening its global industrial presence. In 2024, Brembo reported positive financial results that confirmed the Group's sales were stable compared to 2023. These positive results reinforce our convinction that the Remuneration Policy is developed in line with the Company's strategic objectives and is an important means to guarantee the Group's sustainable, long-term growth. Specifically, the attainment of the economic-financial and sustainability objectives related to the incentive systems, both short- and long-term, led to the achievement of results in excess of the expected performance.

Despite external complexities, Brembo has reported outstanding financial results, highlighting the Group's robust foundations and its capacity to increase value for its stakeholders. These outcomes were driven by the relentless focus on product innovation, operational excellence, and the passion and dedication of Brembo's people.

By consistently investing in research and development, Brembo maintains a proactive approach, to anticipate the challenges of the global market. Brembo notably stands out in the market by advancing its product range and incorporating state-of-the-art mechatronic and software solutions. This commitment to innovation ensures that Brembo remain competitive and capable of meeting the evolving needs of its customers in a dynamic marketplace.

The Company is well-positioned to pursue its strategic objectives and further consolidates its leadership within the industry.

technological capabilities, with significant developments
in artificial intelligence, connectivity, and advanced
braking solutions. Such developments are in line with the
group's vision of "Turning energy into inspiration". These
endeavours further reinforce Brembo's role as a solution
provider, combining its traditional products with high
value-added services.
I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the
members of the Remuneration and Appointment
Committee, Ms. Elizabeth M. Robinson and Ms. Manuela
Soffientini, for their invaluable contributions to the
committee's activities.
In conclusion, I extend my appreciation for your continued

you with comprehensive and useful information, and I
look forward to your positive support during the general

4.5.2 INTRODUCTION

This remuneration report of Brembo N.V. ("Brembo" or the "Company") provides a comprehensive overview of the remuneration paid and owed to the individual members of the Board of Directors, the Executive and Non-Executive Directors, in the financial year 2024, in accordance with both the Dutch Civil Code and the Dutch Corporate Governance Code (the "DCGC"). The Remuneration and Appointment Committee, consisting solely of independent Non-Executive Directors in accordance with the DCGC, is responsible for overseeing this remuneration and recommending any necessary adjustments.

Through this document, Brembo aims to enhance transparency and disclosure for its stakeholders, thereby fostering trust and enabling shareholders to exercise their rights with informed understanding. The remuneration report is divided into two main sections:

  • Summary of the 2024 Remuneration Policy which governs the compensation for both Executive and Non-Executive Directors (available on our corporate website). In 2024, Brembo confirmed the remuneration features with a positive vote from shareholders during the shareholders' meeting held on 23 April 2024.
  • Implementation of the 2024 Remuneration Policy which details how the remuneration features were implemented during financial year 2024, including the actual remuneration received by each Executive and Non-Executive Director. Notably, there were no deviations from the 2024 Remuneration Policy.

The main goal of Brembo's Remuneration Policy is to develop a system which consistently supports the business strategy and value creation for all stakeholders. It establishes a compensation structure that allows Brembo to attract and retain the most highly qualified executive

-

  • sectors comparable to that of Brembo in terms of value creation.
  • The evaluations expressed by shareholders: the actions implemented within the policy, such as maintaining the same level of disclosure as in the previous year, are in line with the feedback gathered from the Group's key shareholders.
  • Sustainability: the Remuneration Policy reflects the Group's culture and sustainability values, and it has been designed in harmony with the initiatives and

talents. It also motivates such executives to achieve business and financial goals, creating long-term value in a manner consistent with its core business and leadership values and taking into account the social context around the Company. 4.5.3 SUMMARY OF THE 2024 REMUNERATION POLICY While formulating the Remuneration Policy, the Remuneration and Appointment Committee considered the following specific principles that characterize Brembo's remuneration report: • The working conditions of Group employees: the Remuneration Policy aims to enhance the organizational model adopted by the Group, designed to successfully address future challenges arising from the international landscape and the market. • The contribution to corporate strategy: the Remuneration Policy has been defined in line with the Group's long-term strategy and objectives, ensuring its connection to corporate performance to pursue the Group's long-term interests. • Best market practices: the Remuneration Policy has been evaluated considering the remuneration practices of Italian and European peer companies operating in projects outlined in the Sustainability Plan for both the short and long term. In particular, the implementation of the 2024 Remuneration Policy has been consistent with the Company's long-term strategy, both in terms of the company's growth and sustainability goals: • Brembo's sustainable growth: compensation elements have been defined in order to support the achievement of the Group's strategic pillars through an appropriate balance of performance metrics of short and long term. The Company in fact, also through the 2024 Remuneration Policy, has been able to achieve excellent economic-financial results, despite a complex global macroeconomic scenario. • Creating value for our shareholders: the 2024 Remuneration Policy has been effective in ensuring that management's interests were aligned with the primary goal of creating sustainable shareholder value over the medium to long term. More specifically, the LTIP 2022-2024 focused on long-term value creation for shareholders through the Economic Value Added (EVA) metric. • Enhancing the guiding principles that characterize the Group: Brembo gives special attention to the development of global policies on ethics, responsibility and sustainability, characterizing a socially responsible company. In this sense, Brembo's sustainability strategy in the medium-long term is enhanced by the 2024 Remuneration Policy through the use of ESG metrics in the short and long-term incentive plans, linked also to the Group sustainability index (Group carbon footprint), attesting the Company's commitment to all its stakeholders. 4.5.3.1 STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT The Remuneration and Appointment Committee paid particular attention to the evidence that emerged from the analysis and insights regarding the voting results at shareholders' meetings and the feedback received from shareholders, as well as from recommendations received from proxy advisors. Accordingly, great importance is attached to continuous interaction with all corporate stakeholders, to corporate initiatives for potential development, and to realize a constant improvement in adopting market best practices. In this respect, the shareholders' meeting held on 23 April 2024, approved the 2024 Remuneration Policy.

The following table details the voting results, showing the trend over the last five years:

4.5.3.3 PEER GROUP

Brembo also establishes its policies and verifies its remuneration structure based on the analyses conducted with the support of consultants on market benchmarks. One of the benchmarks consists of a group of companies operating in the same industry that are comparable in terms of size, business activity and governance. In addition, Brembo monitors trends and best practices in both the Italian and global markets.

The analysis with selected comparison markets occurs on a regular basis and involves: the review of Executive Directors' compensation packages, the structure of incentive plans, and the balance of compensation components recognized to Executive Directors.

Given that Brembo does not have many closely comparable peer companies, various European companies, which are comparable to Brembo as they operate in the same industry, have been considered to gain insights into both the labour market and business practices:

4.5.3.4 EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS' PAY-MIX

The composition of the remuneration packages of the Executive Directors does not present any variation from the previous year. Executive Directors' pay-mix is based on the achievement of performance objectives, as indicated below:

Highlights Report Statement Governance Statements

The Board of Directors is tasked with assessing the performance levels used in the variable remuneration plans, as per the Remuneration and Appointment Committee's proposals. The Remuneration and Appointment Committee:

  • periodically assesses the adequacy, overall consistency and actual application of the Remuneration Policy adopted for Executive Directors;
  • monitors the implementation of the decisions taken by the Board, verifying especially the actual achievement of performance objectives and evaluating the proposed assignment and quantification of variable incentive remuneration.

The remuneration packages for the C-Suite follow the same rationale and philosophy applied to build the remuneration packages for Executive Directors. They include a fixed component, a short-term incentive plan (STIP), a long-term incentive plan (LTIP) depending on the position held, and a benefits package according to the Italian Collective Agreement and Company practices.

4.5.3.5 FIXED REMUNERATION

The fixed remuneration aims to attract and retain highly qualified Executive Directors. To support this fixed remuneration, regular benchmarking is conducted against compensation packages of executives with comparable experience in similar companies, ensuring that our offerings remain competitive and aligned with industry standards.

4.5.3.6 SHORT-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN ("STIP")

The 2024 STIP includes an entry gate based on Group's EBITDA in absolute terms. This performance condition operates with an on/off threshold mechanism, meaning that the final pay-out to beneficiaries occurs only if the Group's operating and financial performance meets the established targets. If the entry gate is not reached, the plan will not be activated, resulting in the non-payment of monetary incentives, regardless of whether the objectives within each STIP form are reached.

The following table shows the objectives of the 2024 STIP form of Brembo's Executive Directors:

2024 Stip - Executive Directors Weight
Group EBITDA abs. value 30%
Group EBIT % 20%
Group ROI % 25%
Group net sales 15%
Group sustainability index 10%

The Group has established a maximum limit of 160% for the bonus payable for each objective. The actual amount of the incentive paid depends on the degree of achievement of the targets assigned to the individual objectives. The overall final cap for each STIP form is set at 150%. The pay-out cap differs only for the Executive Chairman and the CEO since, for both, achieving the maximum performance levels results in a pay-out that cannot exceed 133.33% of the target.

Highlights Report Statement Governance Statements

4.5.3.7 LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN ("LTIP")

This is a pure monetary plan that allows participants to accrue a long-term incentive if the LTIP objectives are met.

The reward component of the pay-out curve is offset by the fact that for values below the entry point (corresponding to performance in line with the reference targets), no payment proportional to the performance objective shall be paid.

If objectives are not reached for one, two or three of the four performance objectives, beneficiaries are still entitled to payment of the bonus in proportion to the objective(s) actually achieved.

The LTIP costs per each target are included in the threeyear business plan objectives so that the LTIP is "selffinanced" by the attainment of the objectives themselves.

26 Formula of the Group sustainability index (CDP: Group carbon footprint): Total amount of CO2 emissions saved in the three years thanks to improvement actions (tonnes CO2 e) x 100 Base year's Scope 1 and 2 CO2 emissions (tonnes CO2 e)

Base year: for the three-year period, it corresponds to 2021.

  • 2022-2024 three-year period target;
  • the ratio between Group Net Financial Position and Group EBITDA (NFP/EBITDA), compared to the target set for the individual years 2022, 2023 and 2024;
  • Group sustainability index26 (Group carbon footprint) at the end of the three-year period.

Achieving the incentive is tied to 4 Group key performance indicators: • Group Economic Value Added (EVA), used to measure the growth in value during the 2022-2024 three-year period; • Group Free Operating Cash Flow, as compared to the In 2024, therefore, Brembo's LTIP has completed its vesting period. The final results of the objectives associated with the LTIP are reported in this remuneration report, on the basis of the performances achieved by the beneficiaries. The bonuses accrued will be paid following the general meeting to be held on 29 April 2025.

The LTIP objectives are designed to reward the Group's financial and capital solidity, in line with the business plan and the results achieved over recent years in terms of stronger financial performance and productivity recovery.

The long-term incentive is paid, based on the Group's consolidated results, in a single payment at the end of the LTIP.

4.5.3.8 CLAWBACK/MALUS

Since the cross-border conversion, effective on 24 April 2024, the clawback provisions set forth by Article 2:135, paragraph 8, of the Dutch Civil Code are applicable to the STIP and LTIP. In particular, the clause allows the Company to request the refund of part or all of the variable components of remuneration (or to withhold deferred components), the award of which was determined on the basis of data or information concerning the achievement of objectives or the circumstances upon which the variable remuneration was based that subsequently proves manifestly incorrect or determined in the presence of fraudulent behaviour or gross negligence on the part of the beneficiaries.

During 2024, Brembo applied neither the clawback clause nor the malus clause.

4.5.3.9 TERMS OF AGREEMENT AND NON-COMPETITION AGREEMENTS

The contract currently in effect for the CEO, Mr. Schillaci, with the Brembo Group, includes specific termination provisions. In the event of termination without just cause, resignation due to serious circumstances, or resignation following a change of control, the CEO is entitled to a lump-sum indemnity equivalent to 18 months' salary, which includes fixed remuneration, non-compete agreement compensation, and the maximum shortterm variable component (STIP). The total amount of the one-off indemnity allocated in the event that one of the aforementioned circumstances occurs may not in any case be less than €3,600,000 gross.

For other directors and executives with strategic responsibilities, the Brembo Group does not have agreements for termination benefits, except for legal obligations and those outlined in the applicable Italian Collective Agreement.

During 2024, the Company did not pay any severancerelated compensation to any of the Executive Directors.

For more information, please refer to the Brembo's Remuneration Policy.

4.5.3.10 PENSION

Only the CEO is entitled to an individual supplementary pension scheme. For all other Executive Directors, who are employees, the provisions of the Italian Collective Agreement of reference apply.

The Non-Executive Directors' remuneration was set by the Board of Directors on 20 April 2023 after the shareholders' meeting approved the Board's total remuneration on the same day. Moreover, on 5 March 2024 the Board of Directors resolved to grant a remuneration to Lead Non-Executive Director and to increase the remuneration of the chairwoman of the Audit, Risk and Sustainability Committee, as described in Remuneration Policy.

4.5.4.6 INTERNAL PAY RATIO

Pursuant to best practice provision 3.1.2 of the DCGC, the internal pay ratio should be taken into account when formulating the Remuneration Policy. The internal pay ratio is calculated as the ratio between (i) the total annual remuneration of the CEO and (ii) the average total annual remuneration of employees of the Company and the

Group companies of which the Company consolidates the financial data.

The following table presents the internal pay ratio for 2024, 2023, 2022, 2021 and 2020:

2024 2023 2022 2021 2020
Total Annual Remuneration of CEO (€) 5,448,319 5,967,822 5,127,227 5,451,124 4,233,983
Average Total Annual Remuneration of Brembo N.V.'s FTEs (€) 79,736.17 77,470.15 73,492.68 71,742.72 62,848.26
Internal pay ratio48 68.33 77.03 69.77 75.98 67.37

In determining the ratio between the CEO's annual total remuneration and the average total annual remuneration of employees, Brembo uses the Dutch methodology with regard to the remuneration components included for the CEO and for the employees (all labor costs). The average total annual remuneration of employees corresponds to the total personnel costs reported in the annual report, which excludes CEO compensation, divided by the average number of full-time equivalents ("FTEs").

The ratio was calculated taking into account only Brembo N.V.'s employees 2,998.43 FTEs for 2020, 2,964.58 FTEs at the end of 2021, 3,032.70 FTEs at the end of 2022, 3,170.80 FTEs at the end of 2023 and 3,287.74 FTEs at the end of 2024. Brembo has chosen to present the average total annual remuneration of employees based primarily on the number of employees at Brembo N.V. Brembo is a multinational company operating across three continents and multiple countries, each with varying cost of living standards, remuneration frameworks, and social contribution and taxation implications. Including all employees within the Brembo Group to represent the

internal pay ratio would not accurately reflect, from a methodological perspective, the average pay and working conditions of its workforce. This is due to the fact that it would involve an excessively diverse set of incomparable elements as the denominator.

The footnote indicates the value of pay ratio calculated according to Dutch methodology provided by the DCGC.

In addition, it should be noted that the distribution of Brembo N.V.'s employee categories shows a significant proportion of blue-collar workers. Specifically, blue-collar employees (FTEs) accounted for approximately 54% in 2020, 52% in 2021, 49% in 2022, 47% in 2023 and 45% in 2024, of the total personnel within Brembo Group as of 31 December.

46 Closing price of Brembo stock BRE:MI at 30 December 2021.

47 Closing price of Brembo stock BRE:MI at 30 December 2020.

48 The internal pay ratio, calculated by taking into account Brembo Group's employees (FTEs) as of 31 December is equal to: 117.81 in 2024, 132.74 in 2023, 120.52 in 2022, 136.48 in 2021 and 115.25 in 2020. It differs from the annual total remuneration ratio indicated in the "Sustainability Statement" section because of the different calculation method.

5.2.1 FORM AND CONTENT OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

INTRODUCTION

The Consolidated financial statements at 31 December 2024 were prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and ratified by the European Union (IFRS-EU), and with Part 9 of Book 2 of the Dutch Civil Code. These include all the international accounting standards (IAS) and interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Standards Interpretation Committee (IFRIC).

The Consolidated Financial Statements include the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, the Consolidated Statement of Income, the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income, the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity, and these Explanatory Notes, in accordance with IFRS requirements.

The Group has prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis, in the belief that there are no material uncertainties that might cast significant doubt over this assumption. The Directors believe that there for the foreseeable future.

BASIS OF PREPARATION AND PRESENTATION

The Consolidated Financial Statements of the Group have been prepared on the basis of the financial statements as of 31 December 2024 approved by the Boards of Directors or, if available, by the Shareholders' Meetings of the relevant consolidated companies, adjusted, where necessary, to ensure conformity with the Group's classification criteria and accounting policies.

is a reasonable expectation that the Group possesses adequate resources to continue in operational existence The financial statements are prepared by the Board of Directors and authorized for issue on 18 March 2025 and will be submitted for adoption to the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders of 29 April 2025. The Consolidated Financial Statements provide comparison figures for the previous year. When applying an accounting standard or retroactively recognising an adjustment, or reclassifying financial statement items, the Group includes an additional column showing the Statement of Financial Position for the first comparison year.

  • The Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with the general principle of providing a true and fair presentation of the Group's assets and liabilities, financial position, statement of income results and cash flows, based on the following general assumptions: going concern, accrual accounting, consistency of presentation, materiality and aggregation, prohibition of offsetting, and comparative information.
  • The administrative period and the closing date for preparing the Consolidated Financial Statements correspond to the ones for the Financial Statements of the Parent and all the consolidated companies. The Consolidated Financial Statements are presented in euro, which is the functional currency of the Parent, Brembo N.V., and all amounts are rounded to the nearest thousand unless otherwise indicated.

The Group made the following choices in relation to the presentation of the Financial Statements:

  • for the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, there is separate disclosure of the current and noncurrent assets and the current and non-current liabilities. Current assets, which include cash and cash equivalents, are those assets that will be realized, sold or consumed in the Group's normal operating cycle. Current liabilities are obligations that will be liquidated within the Group's normal operating cycle or within twelve months of the close of the accounting period;
  • in the Consolidated Statement of Income, expense and income items are stated based on their nature;
  • the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income has been reported in a separate statement;
  • for the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, the indirect method was used, as indicated in IAS 7.

DISCRETIONARY VALUATIONS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

Preparing financial statements in compliance with the applicable accounting standards requires management to make estimates that may have a significant effect on the items reported in the accounts. Estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the current circumstances and given the information available at the reporting date. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Estimates and associated assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions of estimates are recognized in the period in which such estimates are revised. Management's decisions that have a significant impact on the financial statements and estimates, and have a significant risk of material adjustments to the

185

Letter from the Executive Chairman Financial Statements book value of assets and liabilities in the next accounting period, are discussed in the notes to the individual financial statement entries.

The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date, which have significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year, are described below.

Capitalization of development costs

The initial capitalization is based on management's judgement about the technical and economic feasibility of the project, usually when the project has reached a certain phase of the development plan. When assessing the recoverability of development costs, recoverable amount is estimated on the basis of the future cash flows expected from the project, the applicable discount rates and the period in which expected benefits will be generated. Further information is given in Note 2 of these Explanatory Notes;

Taxes

The Consolidated Financial Statements include deferred tax assets associated with the recognition of tax losses or tax credits that may be used in subsequent years and income components that are tax-deductible on a deferred basis, resulting in an amount the future recovery of which is deemed highly probable by company management The recoverability of such deferred tax assets is conditional on earning future taxable income sufficient to offset such tax losses and for the use of the benefits of other deferred tax assets. Significant management's judgement is required in assessing the probability of the recoverability of deferred tax assets, taking into account all possible negative and positive evidence, and in determining the amount that may be recognized on the basis of the timing and amount of future taxable income, future tax planning strategies and the tax rates in effect when

the differences will be reversed. Deferred tax liabilities for taxes on non-distributed profits of subsidiaries, associates or joint ventures are not recognized to the extent that it is considered probable that they will not be distributed in the foreseeable future. The wide range of international commercial relations, the long-term nature and the complexity of current contractual agreements, any differences between actual results and formulated hypothesis, or future changes of those assumptions, may require future adjustments to previously recognized income taxes and expenses. If it should be concluded that the Group is no longer able to recover in future years part or all of the deferred tax assets recognized, the consequent adjustment will be taken to the Statement of Income in the year in which this occurs. The recoverability of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each period. Deferred tax assets not recognized in the financial statements are reassessed at each reporting date to verify the conditions for recognising them. Further information is given in Note 6 of these Explanatory Notes.

Impairment of non-financial assets

The recoverable amounts of such assets have been verified in accordance with the criteria laid down in IAS 36. When determining their recoverable amount, the Group generally applies the criterion of value in use, defined as the present value of the future cash flows expected from the assets being assessed. CGUs (cashgenerating units) have been identified in accordance with the Group's organizational and business structure as assets that generate independent cash inflows from their ongoing use. CGUs are thus represented by the individual legal entities that serve the markets, and the criteria for defining them were not changed during the year. In limited cases, the CGU may be represented by the business of reference present in the region, even if managed by multiple legal entities. An impairment loss occurs when the carrying amount of an asset or a cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount, which is the greater of fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. Recoverable amount is highly dependent on the discount rate used in

the discounted cash flow model (which reflects the current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset in question), the expected future cash flows and the growth rate used for extrapolation. The expected future cash flows used to determine value in use are based on the most recent financial plan approved by management, containing projected volumes, revenues, operating costs and investments. The key assumptions used to determine the recoverable amounts of the various cash-generating units, including a sensitivity analysis, are described in detail in these Explanatory Note 2 hereto.

Defined benefit plan

The cost of defined benefit pension plans and other postemployment medical care and the present value of the defined benefit obligation are determined according to an actuarial assessment. Costs and liabilities associated with such plans are calculated based on estimates prepared by actuarial consultants, who use a combination of statistical and actuarial factors, including statistical data concerning previous years and projections of future costs. In addition, the components of estimation also include mortality and retirement rates, assumptions regarding the future evolution of discount rates, salary growth rates, inflation rates and an analysis of the performance of healthcare costs. These estimates may differ substantially from actual results due to the development of economic and market conditions, increases or decreases in retirement rates and the life expectancy of participants and changes in actual healthcare costs. Due to the complexity of the assessment and its long-term nature, such estimates are extremely sensitive to changes in assumptions. All assumptions are therefore reviewed annually. Further information is given in Note 16 of these Explanatory Notes.

Fair value measurement of financial instruments

The determination of the fair value of financial instruments is a structured process involving the use of complex valuation methodologies and techniques and the collection of up-to-date information from the markets of reference and/or the use of internal input data. The fair value of financial instruments is calculated on the basis of market prices, where available, or, for unlisted financial instruments, by applying specific valuation techniques based on the discounting of future cash flows. As with other estimates, the determination of fair value, while based on the best available information and the adoption of adequate valuation methodologies and techniques, is intrinsically characterized by elements of uncertainty and the use of professional judgement, which could result in projected values that differ from actual results.

Climate Change

A worldwide process of decarbonization and electrification of the global economy is in progress. In accordance with the requirements of the Paris Agreement, this process is crucial to achieving the net zero goal, which should prevent the severe consequences of an increase in temperatures of over 1.5°C.

To this end, and as illustrated in greater detail in the Sustainability statement, the Group has set its own strategic guidelines, which lay down: • a process aimed at reducing to zero by 2040 the CO2 emissions classified as Scopes 1 and 2 (direct and

  • indirect emissions generated by its activities) and Scope 3 (emissions generated by the value chain);
  • the development of solutions that facilitate the emission reduction, increasing vehicles' overall efficiency.

Within this framework, IAS 1 requires that the Notes to the Financial Statements include a disclosure of the entity's assumptions concerning the future that might entail a significant risk of causing a material adjustment in the subsequent financial year. The consequences in terms of investments, costs and cash flows are taken into consideration when preparing the financial statements, in accordance with the progress of the roadmap of the

1. 2. 3. 4. 5.
Corporate Directors' Sustainability Corporate Financial
Highlights Report Statement Governance Statements

process (e.g., revision of the useful lives of assets planned to be replaced, adjustment of impairment tests to reflect the impacts on investment flows, etc.). It is possible that in the future the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the Group's financial statements may be subject to various impacts as the strategy for managing climate change continues to evolve. These aspects are monitored through coordination between the various company functions involving a cross-functional work team set up to conduct thorough analyses of the impact of projects aimed at reducing the emissions generated by the production process and value chain. The roadmap to achieving the net zero goal is periodically updated and discussed within the Sustainability Committee to assess specific investment needs, evaluate the impact of external events and update the state of progress.

Pursuant to IAS 36, impairment tests are conducted on the basis of the Group's Business Plan, which in turn is founded on short-, medium- and long-term strategic objectives. The cash flows used are therefore drawn from this plan and include both the risks and opportunities associated with climate change (e.g., energy efficiency projects, replacement of energy sources, development of low-emissions products, etc.).

IAS 16 and 38 establish the criteria for capitalising costs. Costs, including those of developing new solutions that reduce consumption, are capitalized when they meet the requirements set by the two standards. The useful lives of property, plant and equipment, along with those of intangible assets, are determined in accordance with the Group's strategic objectives and Business Plan.

IFRS 13 requires a disclosure of the key assumptions used when assets are measured at fair value and measurement may include various possible scenarios. The Company's portfolio includes VPPAs (Virtual Power Purchase Agreements) and a cPPA (Corporate Power Purchase Agreement). The VPPAs are measured at fair value on the basis of market scenarios that reflect actual transactions, fundamental models and operators' expectations regarding short, medium and long-term energy scenarios

according to IFRS 9 principle, applying hedge accounting. In particular, as part of the assessment of the existence of an economic relationship between the hedged item and the hedging instrument through a qualitative assessment, the Company expects a high level of compensation between change in fair value of hedging instrument and present value of cash flows resulting from hedged item due to:

  • a) identical volume of the hedging instrument (VPPA) and the hedged item (forecasted purchase price of electricty) in each year,
  • b) similar payments dates;
  • c) an identical basis instrument for floating price (TGe24 index).

At each assessment date the Group will review whether all above key terms and conditions are still matched.

The cPPA is elected for own use exemption, according to the same accounting principle.

In addition, specific sensitivity analyses are conducted to take account of the various future scenarios.

All the contracts are managed to hedge electricity price in Poland (paying a fixed price) and to grant the company an higher share of green energy, according to its sustainability targets.

On the basis of IAS 37, it is possible that the provisions previously recognized for future events could be realized sooner, with the resulting change in the estimate to be recognized. Climate change, and the ensuing associated legislation, might require the reconsideration of such estimates and recognition of liabilities previously not recognized, for which specific disclosure would be provided.

Despite including considerable investments relating to sustainability objectives in its financial plans, Brembo has introduced an additional sensitivity scenario for its flows (at both consolidated level and GBU level), designed to reflect its carbon neutrality goals. Accordingly, cash outflows were simulated, both during the explicit period and in the estimate of terminal value, which simulate the cost of neutralising CO2 emissions (Scope 1) on the basis of the market values that would be incurred to neutralize them.

CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING STANDARDS AND DISCLOSURES

The valuation and measurement criteria used are based on the IFRS in force as of 31 December 2024 and endorsed by the European Union. In the reporting year, the Group applied a series of amendments to the international accounting standards issued by the IASB that entered into effect on a mandatory basis for accounting periods that begin on or after 1 January 2024. Their adoption had no impact on the information or the amounts indicated in these Financial Statements.

Amendments to IFRS 16 – Leases

The IASB has issued narrow-scope amendments to the requirements for sale and leaseback transactions in IFRS 16 explaining how a seller-lessee accounts for a sale and leaseback after the date of the transaction. Sale and leaseback transactions where some or all the lease payments are variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are most likely to be impacted.

Amendments to IAS 1 – Presentation of Financial Statements

The amendments to IAS 1 clarify the criteria for classifying liabilities with covenants as current or non-current. The amendments will also require companies to provide additional information to stakeholders. The changes introduced by the amendments require companies to consider the potential impact for their loan arrangements and the presentation of their financial statements.

Amendments to IAS 7 – Statement of Cash Flows and IFRS 7 – Financial Instruments

In May 2023, the International Accounting Standards Board issued amendments to IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows and IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures. With the amendments, the IASB has introduced new disclosure requirements in IFRS Standards to enhance the transparency and, thus, the usefulness of the information provided by entities about supplier finance arrangements.

Other standards, interpretations or amendments, endorsed or not yet endorsed, and not yet entered into force at the reporting date, are listed in the following table:

PRINCIPLES AND BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION

The Consolidated Financial Statements include the Financial Statements of the Parent, Brembo N.V., at 31 December 2024, and the Financial Statements of the companies controlled by Brembo N.V. pursuant to IFRS 10.

Control arises when the Group is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and at the same time has the ability to influence those returns through its power over the said investee.

Sustainability Statement 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

Financial Statements Specifically, the Group controls an investee if, and only if, the Group has:

  • power over the investee (i.e., existing rights that give the current ability to direct the relevant activities of the investee);
  • exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee;
  • the ability to exert its power over the investee to influence its returns.

It is generally presumed that the majority of voting rights confers control. In support of this assumption, where the Group holds less than the majority of voting rights (or similar rights), the Group considers all facts and circumstances relevant to determining whether it controls the investee, including the contractual agreements with the other vote-holders of the investee, rights arising from other contractual agreements and the Group's actual and potential voting rights. The Group reconsiders whether it controls an investee if the facts and circumstances indicate that there have been changes in one or more of the three factors relevant to determining control. A subsidiary begins to be consolidated when the Group obtains control of it and ceases to be consolidated when the Group loses control. The assets, liabilities, revenues and costs of a subsidiary acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the Consolidated Financial Statements from the date the Group obtains control until the date the Group no longer controls the company.

Income (loss) for the year and other comprehensive income components are allocated to the shareholders of the Parent and minority interests, even if this results in a negative balance for the minority interests. Where necessary, the appropriate adjustments are applied to the financial statements of subsidiaries, so as to ensure compliance with the Group's accounting policies. All intra-group assets and liabilities, equity, revenues, costs and cash flows relating to transactions between Group entities are completely eliminated during the consolidation process. Changes in percent interests in a subsidiary that do not entail a loss of control are recognized at equity. If the Group loses control of a subsidiary, it eliminates the related assets (including goodwill), liabilities, minority interests and other equity components, while any profit or loss is recognized in the Statement of Income. The residual interest, if any, is measured at fair value. The following corporate transactions impacting the Group's consolidation area were performed in 2024: • in July 2024, a new entity named Brembo Australia Pty. • in August 2024, a new entity named Brembo France

-

The list of consolidated subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures that are accounted for using the equity method, along with information regarding their registered offices and the percentage of share capital held, is included in the paragraph "Information About the Group" of these Explanatory Notes.

Business combinations and goodwill

Business combinations (established after the date of transition to IFRS) are accounted for using the purchase accounting method envisaged by IFRS 3. The value of the entity included in the business combination is the sum of the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including contingent liabilities.

Ltd., fully owned by Brembo N.V. was established. The company carries out marketing activities within the Australian market for the aftermarket only. Sas, fully owned by Brembo N.V. was established. It deals with promoting the sale of car brake discs for the aftermarket only. Income. If the initial cost of a business combination can only be determined provisionally, adjustments to the initial provisional values must be made within twelve months of the acquisition date. Minority interests are recognized on the basis of the fair value of the net assets acquired. If a business combination involves more than one transaction, with successive share purchases, each transaction is treated separately using the cost of the transaction and fair value information on the assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities at the date of each transaction to determine the amount of any differences. When control of a company is obtained through a subsequent share purchase, the previously held interests are accounted for based on the fair value of identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities at the date control is acquired.

The cost of a business combination is identified as the fair value, at the date control is obtained, of the assets acquired, liabilities assumed and equity instruments issued for the purposes of the combination. That cost is then compared with the fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities upon acquisition. Any positive difference between the cost of the acquisition and the Group's share of the fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities upon acquisition is recognized as goodwill. Any negative differences are charged directly to the Statement of

The acquiree measures contingent consideration at fair value at the acquisition date. The change in fair value of contingent consideration classified as an asset or liability, in that it is a financial instrument falling within the scope of IFRS 9, must be recognized in profit or loss or in Other Comprehensive Income. If the contingent consideration is not within the scope of IFRS 9, it is measured in accordance with the relevant IFRS. If the contingent consideration is classified as an equity instrument, its value is not remeasured and its subsequent settlement is recognized in equity.

Goodwill is initially recognized at cost, as the difference of the aggregate of the value of the consideration transferred and the amount attributed to minority interests compared to net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed by the Group. If the consideration is lower than the fair value of net assets of the acquired subsidiary, the difference is recognized in profit or loss. After initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any impairment losses. For the purposes of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is allocated from the acquisition date to each of the Group's cash-generating units that is expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the acquiree have been assigned to those units.

If goodwill has been allocated to a cash-generating unit and the entity disposes of an operation within that unit, the goodwill associated with the operation disposed of is included in the carrying amount of the operation when determining the gain or loss on disposal. The goodwill associated with the operation disposed of is measured on the basis of the relative value of the operation disposed of and the portion of the cash-generating unit retained.

Equity Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures

An associate is a company over which the Group exercises significant influence. Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee, without exercising control or joint control over the investee.

A joint venture is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control have rights to the net assets of the arrangement. Joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of control, which exists only when decisions about the relevant activities require the unanimous consent of all parties sharing control.

Considerations used to determine significant influence or joint control are similar to those required to determine control of subsidiaries.

The Group's investments in associates and joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method. Under the equity method, an investment in an associate or a joint venture is initially recognized at cost. The carrying amount is increased or decreased to recognize the investor's share of the investee's profit or loss realized after the acquisition date. The goodwill related to the associate or joint venture is included in the carrying amount of the investment and is not tested separately for impairment.

The Statement of Income reflects the Group's share of the profits or losses of the associate or joint venture. All changes in Other Comprehensive Income relating to such investees have been presented in the Group's Statement of Comprehensive Income. In addition, when an associate

1. 2. 3. 4. 5.
Corporate Directors' Sustainability Corporate Financial
Highlights Report Statement Governance Statements

or a joint venture recognizes a change directly in equity, the Group recognizes its share of that change, where applicable, in its Statement of Changes in Equity. Unrealized gains and losses on transactions between the Group and associates or joint ventures are eliminated in proportion to the interest held in the associates or joint ventures.

The aggregate share of the net result of associates and joint ventures attributable to the Group is recognized in the Statement of Income and represents the income or loss after taxes and the amounts attributable to the other shareholders of the associate or joint venture.

The financial statements of associates and joint ventures are prepared at the same reporting date as the Group's Financial Statements. Where necessary, such financial statements are adjusted to bring them into line with the Group's accounting standards.

Once the equity method has been applied, at each reporting date the Group assesses whether there is objective evidence that the investments in the associates or joint ventures have become impaired. In such cases, the Group calculates the amount of the loss as the difference between the recoverable amount of the associate or joint venture and the carrying amount of the investment in its financial statements, and then accounts for that difference in the Statement of Income.

When significant influence over an associate or joint control of a joint venture is lost, the Group measures and recognizes the residual investment at fair value. The difference between the carrying amount of the investment at the date significant influence or joint control is lost and the fair value of the residual investment and consideration received is recognized in profit or loss.

Shareholdings in other companies

Shareholdings in other companies are classified and measured at fair values through other comprehensive income (OCI), as better described in the section "Financial Instruments – Financial Assets" below.

Conversion of the Financial Statements of foreign companies

The financial statements of the Group companies included in the Consolidated Financial Statements are denominated in the currency used in the primary market in which they operate (functional currency). The Group's Consolidated Financial Statements are denominated in euro, which is the functional currency of the Parent Brembo N.V.

At year end, the assets and liabilities of subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures with a functional currency other than the euro are translated into the currency used to prepare the consolidated Group accounts at the exchange rate prevailing at that date. Statement of Income items are translated at the average exchange rate for the period (as it is considered to represent the average of the exchange rates prevailing on the dates of the individual transactions). The differences arising from the translation of initial equity at end-of-period exchange rates and the differences arising as a result of the different method used for translating the result for the period are recognized under a specific heading of equity. If consolidated foreign companies are subsequently sold, accumulated conversion differences are recognized in the Statement of Income.

The following table shows the exchange rates used in the translation of financial statements denominated in currencies other than the Group's functional currency (euro).

Transactions in currencies other than the functional currency

Transactions in currencies other than the functional currency are initially converted into the functional currency using the exchange rate prevailing at the date of the transaction. At the closing date of the accounting period, monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rate prevailing at that date. Exchange differences arising from such translation are recognized in the Statement of Income. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency that are carried at cost are translated using the exchange rate prevailing at the transaction date, while those carried at fair value are translated using the exchange rate prevailing on the date the fair value is determined.

ACCOUNTING STANDARDS AND VALUATION CRITERIA

PROPERTY, PLANT, EQUIPMENT AND RIGHT OF USE ASSETS

Recognition and measurement

Property, plant, equipment and other equipment are recognized at cost, net of the related accumulated depreciation and any impairment loss. The cost includes the purchase or production price and direct costs incurred for bringing the asset to the location and in the conditions necessary for it to be capable of being operated; interest expense is also included, where applicable under IAS 23. Subsequent to initial recognition, the asset continues to be carried at cost and depreciated based on its useful life net of any impairment in value, taking into account any residual value.

2024 Brembo Annual Report

1. 2. 3. 4. 5.
Corporate Directors' Sustainability Corporate Financial
Highlights Report Statement Governance Statements

Land, including land linked to buildings, is recognized separately and is not depreciated since it is regarded as having an indefinite useful life.

Subsequent costs

Costs for improvements and transformations that increase the value of assets (i.e., they result in probable future economic rewards that can be reliably measured) are recognized in the assets section of the Statements of Financial Position as increases in the reference assets or as separate assets. Costs are recognized in the year in which they are incurred, where they relate to maintenance or repair and do not lead to any significant and measurable increase in productive capacity or in the useful life of the relevant asset.

Depreciation

Depreciation represents the economic and technical loss of value of the asset and is charged from when the asset is available for use; it is calculated using the straight-line method based on the rate considered representative of the estimated useful life of the asset.

The range of expected useful lives of property, plant and equipment used for calculating depreciation is reported below:

Category Useful life
Land Indefinite
Buildings 10-35 years
Plant and machinery 5-20 years
Industrial and commercial equipment 2.5-10 years
Other assets 4-10 years

The residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods applied to property, plant and equipment are reviewed at the end of each year and prospectively corrected, where appropriate. Useful lives are unchanged compared to the previous year.

Leases

IFRS 16 sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases. It requires lessees to recognize all lease contracts in the financial statements on the basis of a single accounting model similar to that used to recognize finance leases that were governed by IAS 17. The lessee recognizes a liability for payments of rental fees specified in the lease contract and an asset representing the right to use the underlying asset for the period of the contract. Lessees must recognize separately the interest paid on the lease liability and depreciation of the right to use the asset. Lessees must also re-measure the lease liability when certain events happen (e.g., a change in lease contract conditions or a change in future lease payments caused by a change in an index or rate used to determine those payments). The lessee generally recognizes the re-measured amount of the lease liability as an adjustment to the right to use the asset. The Group determines the lease term as the non-cancellable portion of the lease, together with the periods covered by the option to extend the lease, where it is reasonably certain that this option will be exercised, as well as the periods covered by the lease break option, if it is reasonably certain that this option will not be exercised.

Leasehold improvements

Improvements to third-party assets that can be considered fixed assets are capitalized to the appropriate asset category and depreciated over the shorter of their useful life or the lease term.

DEVELOPMENT COSTS AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS

The Company recognizes intangible assets when the following conditions are met:

  • the asset is identifiable, or separable, or can be separated or removed from the entity;
  • the asset is controlled by the Group, meaning that the company has the power to obtain future economic

rewards from the asset;

• it is probable that the Group will enjoy future rewards attributable to the asset.

Intangible assets are initially measured at cost; subsequent to initial recognition, they are carried at cost less amortization, which is calculated using the straight-line method (beginning on the date the assets are available for use) over their useful lives, and net of any impairment losses, taking into account any residual value. The useful life of assets is reviewed periodically.

Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives principally consist of acquired trademarks which have no legal, regulatory, contractual, competitive, economic, or other factor that limits their useful life. Intangible assets with an indefinite useful life are not amortized but are tested for impairment annually or more frequently whenever there is an indication that the asset may be impaired.

An intangible asset generated in the development phase of an internal project is recognized as asset if the Group can demonstrate:

  • the technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale;
  • the intention to complete the intangible asset and the ability to use or sell it;
  • how the intangible asset will generate probable future economic rewards;
  • the availability of adequate resources to complete the asset;
  • the ability to measure reliably the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its development;
  • the ability to use the intangible asset generated.

Research costs are recognized in the Statement of Income. Similarly, in the case of externally acquired intangibles that qualify as research and development costs, only the costs attributable to the development phase are recognized as assets, provided that the above requirements are met.

Such costs are capitalized under "Development costs" and

amortized only when the development phase is concluded and the asset developed generates economic rewards. In the period in which internal development costs that can be capitalized are incurred, these costs are excluded from the Statement of Income item "Increase on internal works capitalized" and recognized in the item "Costs for capitalized internal works".

The range of expected useful lives of intangible fixed assets used for calculating amortization is reported below:

Development costs 3-5 years
Goodwill and other fixed assets with indefinite
useful lives
Indefinite
Industrial patents and similar rights 5-10 years
Other intangible assets 3-5 years

The residual values, useful lives and amortization methods applied to intangible assets are reviewed at the end of each year and prospectively corrected, where appropriate. Useful lives are unchanged compared to the previous year.

IMPAIRMENT OF NON-FINANCIAL ASSETS

Goodwill, intangible assets with an indefinite life and development costs underway are systematically tested for impairment at least once a year, and whenever there are any indications of impairment.

Property, plant and equipment, as well as intangible assets that are subject to depreciation and amortization are tested for impairment whenever indications of impairment arise.

Write-downs correspond to the difference between the carrying value and recoverable value of the assets in question. The recoverable value is the greater of the fair value of an asset or cash-generating unit less the costs of disposal and the value in use, determined as the present

1. 2. 3. 4. 5.
Corporate Directors' Sustainability Corporate Financial
Highlights Report Statement Governance Statements

value of estimated future cash flows. The value in use is defined as the cash flows expected to arise from the use of an asset, or the sum of the cash flows in the case of more cash-generating units. The expected future cash flows are measured using the unlevered discounted cash flows method and each group of assets is discounted to the present value using the WACC method (weighted average cost of capital). If the recoverable amount is less than the carrying amount, the carrying amount is reduced to the recoverable amount, and, as a general rule, the impairment loss is recorded in the Statement of Income. When the impairment loss of an asset (except for goodwill) is subsequently reversed, the carrying value of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is increased to the new estimate of recoverable value, without exceeding the value prior to write-down.

INVENTORIES

Inventories of raw materials and finished products are stated at the lower of cost of acquisition or market value and the corresponding presumable net realisable value estimated from market trends.

The purchase cost includes costs incurred to bring each asset to the place it is stored. Manufacturing costs of finished products and semi-finished goods include direct costs and a portion of indirect costs that can be reasonably attributed to the products based on normal exploitation of the production capacity; interest expense is excluded. Work in progress is valued at production costs for the year, based on the progress report.

The cost of inventories of raw materials, finished goods, goods for resale and semi-finished products is calculated using the weighted mean cost method.

For raw materials, ancillaries and consumables, the presumable net realisable value corresponds to the replacement cost. For finished products and semi-finished goods, the presumable net realisable value corresponds to the estimated sales price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and costs to sell. Inventories that are obsolete or characterized by a long turnover period are written down on the basis of their

possible useful life or future realisable value, by creating a special provision for inventory adjustment.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

Cash and cash equivalents include cash balances, unrestricted deposits and other treasury investments with original maturities of up to three months. A treasury investment is classified among cash and cash equivalents when it is instantly convertible to cash with minimal risk of any fluctuation in value and when it is intended to meet short-term cash requirements and is not held as an investment.

For purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows, cash balances are stated net of bank overdrafts at the end of the period.

PROVISIONS

Provisions include certain or probable costs of a specific nature, the amount or settlement date of which could not be determined at year end. A provision is recognized when:

  • there is a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event;
  • it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation;
  • a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
to reflect changes in cost estimates, timing and present
value, if any; revisions to estimates of provisions are
recognized under the same item of the Statement of
Income under which the original provision was recognized
and in the Statement of Income of the period in which
the change is made. When provisions are discounted to
present value, the change resulting from the passage of
time or interest rate fluctuations is recognized under "Net
interest income (expense)".

Provisions are recognized at the present value of the expected expenditure required to settle the related obligation. Where the Group expects some or all of the expenditure required to settle a provision to be reimbursed, such as for the case of insured risks, the reimbursement is treated as a separate asset and is recognized when, and only when, it is virtually certain that the reimbursement will be received. In this case, the expense relating to the provision is presented in the Statement of Income net of the amount recognized for the reimbursement. Provisions are periodically updated service in the current or prior periods. These contributions, which are paid for the services rendered by employees, are recognized in the same accounting period in which the services are rendered.

  • Any provisions for restructuring costs are recognized when the company involved has approved a formal detailed plan and communicated it to affected parties.
  • A provision for costs arising from tax liabilities is recognized when the dispute to which the contingent liability refers is ongoing or likely.
  • Provisions for product warranty costs are recognized when products are sold. Initial recognition is based on historical experience, excluding exceptional events, for which a precise assessment is conducted. The initial estimate of the costs of warranty work is reviewed annually.

EMPLOYEE BENEFITS

The difference between defined contribution plans, wholly unfunded defined benefit plans, wholly or partly funded defined benefit plans and other forms of long-term benefits is reported below.

Defined contribution plans

Defined contribution plans are post-employment benefit plans under which a company pays contributions to an insurance company or pension fund and has no legal or constructive obligation to pay further contributions if, when the benefit right matures, the fund does not have sufficient assets to pay all benefits relating to employee

Defined benefit plans and other long-term benefits

Defined benefit plans are post-employment benefit plans that entail a future obligation for the company. The company assumes actuarial and investment risks in relation to the plan.

To determine the present value of its obligations relating to such plans and the related service costs, the Group uses the "Projected Unit Credit Method".

This actuarial calculation method requires the use of unbiased and mutually compatible actuarial assumptions about demographic variables (mortality rate and employee turnover rate) and financial variables (discount rates and future increases in salary and benefits). When a defined benefit plan is wholly or partly funded by contributions paid either into a fund that is legally separate from the company or to an insurance company, any plan assets are measured at fair value. The obligation is therefore stated net of the fair value of the plan assets that will be used to directly meet such obligation. Remeasurements, which include actuarial gains and losses, any changes in the effect of the assets ceiling (excluding net interest) and return on plan assets (excluding net interest) are recognized immediately in the Statement of Financial Position, debiting or crediting retained earnings through Other Comprehensive Income in the period in which they occur. Remeasurements are not reclassified through profit or loss in the following years.

Other long-term benefits refer to employee benefits other than post-employment benefits. They are accounted for in the same manner as defined benefit plans.

OWN SHARES

Own shares bought back are recognized at cost and are deducted from equity. No gain or loss is recognized in the Statement of Income on the purchase, sale, or cancellation of the company's own shares. The difference between the carrying amount and the consideration, in case of reissue, is recognized in the share premium reserve.

Corporate Highlights Directors' Report Sustainability Statement Corporate Governance Financial Statements 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

GOVERNMENT GRANTS

Government grants are recognized at fair value, when there is reasonable assurance that all necessary conditions attached to them have been satisfied and the grants will be received.

Grants received in recognition of specific expenses are recognized as liabilities and credited to the Statement of Income on a systematic basis over the periods necessary to match the grant income with the related expenditure. Grants received for defined assets that are recognized as fixed assets are accounted for as non-current liabilities and credited to the Statement of Income in relation to the period in which depreciation or amortization is charged for the relevant assets.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

The Group measures financial instruments, such as derivatives, at fair value at the end of each financial period. 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.

Fair value measurement assumes a sale of the asset or transfer of the liability taking place:

  • in the principal market for the asset or liability; or
  • in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market for the asset or liability.

The principal or most advantageous market must be accessible to the Group.

Fair value measurement takes into account the characteristics of the asset or liability being measured that market participants would consider when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act with the aim of best satisfying their economic interest. A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant's ability to generate economic rewards by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset

in its highest and best use. The Group uses valuation techniques appropriate to the circumstances and for which sufficient data for fair value measurement are available, thus maximising the use of significant observable inputs and minimising the use of unobservable inputs. All assets and liabilities, the fair value of which has been measured or recognized in the financial statements, are categorized based on the fair value hierarchy, as described below: • Level 1 - quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date; • Level 2 - inputs other than quoted market prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; • Level 3 - measurement techniques whereby inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. The fair value measurement is categorized in its entirety in the hierarchy level of the lowest level input that has been used for the measurement. For assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, the Group determines whether shifts have occurred between hierarchy levels and revises the categorization (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the entire fair value measurement) at the end of each financial period. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity. Financial assets Financial assets are initially recognized at their fair value, plus ancillary costs. Upon initial recognition, in the following categories: financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss or through other comprehensive income (OCI), loans, receivables and financial assets available for sale. Loans and receivables (the category of greatest significance for the Group) are non-derivative financial assets, with fixed or determinable payments, that are not quoted in an active market. After initial recognition, such financial assets are measured at amortized cost, using the effective interest rate method, less impairment losses. Amortized cost is calculated by including any discounts, premiums or fees and/or costs, which are an integral part of the effective interest rate. The effective interest rate is recognized as interest income in the Statement of Income. Impairment losses are recognized in the Statement of Income as interest expense. This category normally includes trade and other receivables. When accounting for financial assets measured at amortized cost, the Group first assesses whether impairment exists for each financial asset that is individually significant, and collectively for financial assets that are not individually significant. The carrying amount of an asset is reduced by recognising a writedown provision, and the amount of the loss is recognized in the Statement of Income. Loans and the associated write-down provisions are derecognized when there is no realistic prospect that they may be recovered in future and the guarantees have been enforced or transferred to the Group. If, in a subsequent year, the amount of an estimated impairment loss increases or decreases because of an event occurring after the impairment is recognized, the previously recognized impairment loss is increased or decreased by adjusting the provision. Financial assets are classified and measured at fair values through OCI when they are held in a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets. Upon the initial recognition of investments in equity instruments, the Group may irrevocably elect to classify its investments as equity instruments measured at fair value through OCI where they meet the definition of an equity instrument

-

financial assets are classified, depending on their nature, pursuant to IAS 32 – Financial Instruments: Presentation

and are not held for trading. The classification is determined for each instrument. Gains and losses on such financial assets are never transferred to profit or loss. Dividends are recognized as other income in profit or loss when entitlement to payment is approved, unless the Group benefits from such income as a recovery of part of the cost of the financial asset, in which case the profits are taken to OCI. Equity instruments measured at fair value through OCI are not tested for impairment. Financial assets are derecognized from the financial statements when the right to receive cash flows ceases, the Group transfers the right to receive cash flows from the asset to a third party, or the Group assumes a contractual obligation to pay them in full and without delay, and (1) it has transferred substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, or (2) it has neither transferred nor retained substantially all of the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset. Where the Group has transferred the rights to receive the cash flows from an asset, or has entered into a contractual arrangement whereby it retains its contractual right to receive the cash flows from the asset, but assumes a contractual obligation to pay cash flows to one or more beneficiaries (pass-through arrangement), it evaluates the extent to which it has retained the risks and rewards of ownership.

Financial liabilities

Upon initial recognition, financial liabilities are classified among financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, loans and financing or derivatives designated as hedging instruments. All financial liabilities are initially recognized at fair value, in addition to directly attributable transaction costs in the case of loans, financing and payables. The Group's financial liabilities extend to trade payables and other payables, loans and financing, including account overdrafts, guarantees issued and derivative financial instruments, as well as lease liabilities. Loans and payables (the category of greatest significance for the Group) are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. Gains and losses are

192

Corporate Highlights Directors' Report Sustainability Statement Corporate Governance Financial Statements 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

recognized in the Statement of Income when the liability is extinguished, as well as through the amortization process. Amortized cost is calculated by including the discount or premium of the acquisition, as well as costs and fees, which are an integral part of the effective interest rate. Amortization at the effective interest rate is gradually recognized to profit or loss over the life of the loan. Financial guarantees issued are contracts that require a payment to reimburse the holder of a debt instrument for a loss incurred by the holder due to default by the debtor on payment at the contractual due date. When the Group issues financial guarantees, the financial guarantee contracts are initially recognized as liabilities at fair value, plus the transaction costs directly attributable to issuing the guarantee. The liability is then measured at the greater of the best estimate of the outlay required to meet the guaranteed obligation at the reporting date and the initially recognized amount, less cumulative amortization.

A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation underlying the liability is extinguished, cancelled or discharged. Where one existing financial liability is replaced by another attributable to the same borrower with substantially different conditions, or the conditions of an existing liability are substantially modified, such exchange or modification is accounted for by derecognising the original liability and recognising a new liability, with any differences between carrying amounts recognized in the Statement of Income.

Offsetting of financial instruments

A financial asset and a financial liability may be set off against one another, and the net balance presented in the Statement of Financial Position, if there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognized amounts and the entity intends either to settle on a net basis or realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. Loans, payables and other financial and/or trade liabilities with a fixed or determinable maturity are initially recognized at fair value, net of the transaction costs. After initial recognition, these payables are evaluated using the

criterion of amortized cost at the effective interest rate. Long-term debts for which an interest rate is not specified are recognized by discounting future cash flows at market rate, if the increase in payables arises from the passage of time, with subsequent recognition of interest through profit or loss, in item "Net interest income (expense)".

DERIVATIVES

Derivatives, including embedded derivatives separated from their host contracts, are initially recognized at fair value. Derivatives are classified as hedging instruments when the relationship between the derivative and the object of the hedge is formally documented and the degree of coverage, which is periodically checked, is high.

When derivatives hedge the risk of changes in the cash flows of the hedged instruments (cash flow hedges), the hedges are designated on the basis of the exposure to changes in cash flows attributable to risks that may influence profit or loss at a later date. Such risks are generally associated with a recognized asset or liability (such as future payments of variable-rate debt).

When hedging derivatives hedge the risk of changes in the fair values of the hedged instruments, they are recognized at fair value through profit or loss. Accordingly, the hedged instruments are adjusted to reflect changes in fair value associated with the hedged risk. Sales of goods and services are recognized at the fair value of the consideration received when the following conditions are met: • the control associated with ownership of the good is

not designated as hedges or that do not meet the requirements presented in IFRS 9, is recognized directly in profit or loss. The current and non-current classification of active and

passive derivative instruments is carried out considering

the maturity of the future financial flows of the derivatives.

REVENUE FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS, OTHER REVENUES AND INCOME

Revenue from contracts with customers is recognized in the Statement of Income for an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity claims entitlement in exchange for transferring the control of the goods or services to the customer.

The effective portion of the change in the fair value of the part of derivative contracts designated as hedges in accordance with the requirements of IFRS 9 is recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive Income (hedging reserve). That reserve is then released to the profit or loss when the hedged transaction is recognized in the Statement of Income. The ineffective portion of the change in fair value, along with the entire change in the fair value of derivatives The sale of the brake system is the sole obligation ("at a point in time"), since revenue will be recognized when control of the asset is transferred to the customer, which generally coincides with the moment of delivery. The price, which refers to the sole Performance Obligation identified, resulting from market value and negotiations between the parties. Revenues are recognized net of sales returns, discounts, allowances and taxes that are directly associated with the sale of the product or provision of the service.

Revenues are recognized net of sales returns, discounts, allowances and taxes that are directly associated with the sale of the product or provision of the service.

  • transferred;
  • the revenue amount can be measured reliably;
  • it is probable that the economic rewards arising from the sale will flow to the Company;
  • the costs incurred or that will be incurred can be measured reliably.

The Group supplies equipment sold separately from the brake systems. The equipment sold becomes the full property of the customer and does not have an alternative use, i.e. there are practical limitations — unique design

specifications for the customer — that prevent the entity from easily directing the asset to another use in its complete form. There is thus a single performance obligation in the contract whose price coincides with the price of the order and that is satisfied when the customer obtains control of the asset.

The Group recognizes revenue for carrying out development activities of specific brake systems requested by its customers. If the services rendered by the Group regard primary product development and Brembo keep the ownership of the development, the related revenue is suspended from Statement of income, and a "Contract liability" is booked, until the development process is completed; then, the revenue is recognized in the Statement of income over the useful life of the product to which the development activity is related (the time horizon is estimated, on average, of five years). On the other hand, if the ownership of the development is sold to the customer, the revenue is recognized when the control (along with the risks/rewards) is transferred to the customer, i.e., upon invoicing to the customer.

Paragraph 15.B63 identifies the exceptions to the recognition of revenue over time. These exceptions are royalties and sales-based royalties. The exception applies to royalties collected for the licensing of Brembo's trademark and technology. The proceeds are to be accounted for as revenue at a point in time and thus to be taken to the statement of income in full when they are received. The entity only recognizes revenue from sales-based royalties when the subsequent sale occurs, i.e. when the article produced using the trademark or technology to which the royalties refer is then sold, consequently, the revenue is accounted for in accordance with the principle of economic competence.

INTEREST INCOME (EXPENSE)

Interest income/expense is recognized after being measured on an accrual basis.

INCOME TAXES

Current tax assets and liabilities are measured as the amount that is expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and laws used to calculate that amount are those enacted, or substantially enacted, at the reporting date in the countries in which the Group operates and generates its taxable income. Management periodically assesses the position assumed in the income tax return, where tax laws are subject to interpretation, and recognizes provisions, where appropriate.

Any differences between the calculation of taxes in the financial statements and income tax returns or amounts paid or provisioned for direct income tax disputes are presented under the item "Prior years' taxes and other tax payables".

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized in order to reflect the temporary differences between the value attributed to an asset/liability for tax purposes and that attributed based on the accounting standards applied at the reporting date. They are measured using the tax rates that are expected to apply in the year when the assets will be realized or the liabilities will be settled, based on tax rates in force or those already enacted or substantially enacted at the reporting date.

Deferred tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences, unused tax credits and unused tax losses eligible to be carried forward, to the extent it is probable that sufficient future taxable income will be available to permit the use of the deductible temporary differences, unused tax credits and unused tax losses carried forward, except for the cases in which:

  • the deferred tax asset related to the deductible temporary differences arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that does not affect accounting or taxable income at the time of the transaction;
  • there are deductible temporary differences related to equity investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures. In this case deferred tax assets are recognized

The carrying amounts of deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent it is no longer probable that there will be sufficient future taxable income to permit all or part of the credit concerned to be used. Unrecognized deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are recognized to the extent it has become probable that taxable income will be sufficient to permit such deferred tax assets to be recovered.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognized on all taxable temporary differences, with the following exceptions:

solely to the extent it is probable that they will be reversed in the foreseeable future and there will be sufficient taxable income to permit such temporary differences to be recovered. DIVIDENDS Dividends are recognized when the shareholders' right to receive payment is established under local law.

  • the deferred tax liabilities arise from the initial recognition of goodwill or an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that does not affect accounting or taxable income at the time of the transaction;
  • reversal of the taxable temporary differences related to equity investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures may be controlled, and it is probable that it will not occur in the foreseeable future.

Tax balances (current and deferred) attributable to amounts recognized directly in equity are also recognized directly in equity.

Current and deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset only when the legal right of offset exists; such amounts are recognized as receivables or payables in the Statement of Financial Position.

The Company has monitored, and continues to monitor, the implementation of the OECD Pillar II in all countries in which the Group operates. Considering the analyses conducted for 2024, the Company has not identified any potential impacts arising from the Global Minimum Tax.

The Parent recognizes a liability to account for the distribution to its shareholders of cash or non-cash assets once the distribution has been appropriately authorized and is no longer at the Company's discretion. Under current Italian company law, a distribution is authorized when it has been approved by the shareholders. The corresponding amount is recognized directly in equity.

NON-CURRENT ASSETS HELD FOR SALE AND DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

The Group classifies non-current assets and disposal groups as held for sale if their carrying amount will be recovered primarily through sale rather than through continuing use. Such non-current assets and disposal groups classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value net of costs to sell. Costs to sell are incremental costs directly attributable to disposal, excluding interest expense and taxes. The conditions for classification as held for sale are only considered to be met 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 should indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the disposal will be made or that the disposal will be withdrawn. Management must be committed to the disposal, the completion of which must be expected to occur within one year of the classification date. Depreciation of property, plant and equipment and amortization of intangible assets cease when such assets are classified as available for sale. Assets and liabilities classified as held for sale are recognized separately among the current items of the financial statements. Assets held for sale are excluded from result from continuing operations and are presented through profit or loss for the year in a single item as "Net income/(loss) from assets held for sale".

FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Brembo Group is exposed to market, commodity, liquidity and credit risks, all of which are tied to the use of financial instruments.

Financial risk management is the responsibility of the central Treasury & Credit Department of Brembo N.V., which, together with the Group Finance Department, evaluates the main financial transactions and related hedging policies.

Market Risk

Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market prices resulting from shifts in exchange rates, interest rates and equity security prices.

Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk applies to variable-rate financial instruments recognized in the Statement of Financial Position (particularly short-term bank loans, other loans, leases, bonds, etc.) that are not hedged by other financial instruments.

In order to fix the financial burden relating to a part of its debt, Brembo has mainly entered into fixed-rate financing contracts and interest rate swaps. However, the Company continues to be exposed to interest-rate risk due to the fluctuation of variable rates.

A sensitivity analysis was performed to analyse the effects of a change in interest rates of +/-50 basis points compared to the rates at 31 December 2024 and 31 December 2023, with other variables held constant. The potential impacts were calculated on the variable-rate financial liabilities at 31 December 2024. The aforementioned change in interest rates would result in a higher (or lower) annual net pretax expense of approximately €1,660 thousand (€1,463 thousand at 31 December 2023), gross of the tax effect. The average weekly gross financial debt was used to

Exchange Rate Risk

Brembo deals in international markets with currencies other than the euro and is therefore exposed to exchange rate risk.

To mitigate this risk, Brembo uses natural hedging (offsetting receivables and payables) and hedges only net positions in foreign currency, using mostly short-term financing denominated in the currency to be hedged, in order to offset any unbalances; currency forward contracts are also used to hedge this risk category.

A sensitivity analysis is provided below to illustrate the effects on pre-tax result arising on a positive (negative) change in exchange rates.

Starting with the exposures at 31 December 2024 and 2023, a change calculated as the standard deviation of the exchange rate with respect to the average exchange rate was applied to the average exchange rates for 2024 and 2023 to measure exchange rate volatility.

Commodity Risk

The Group is exposed to changes in prices of main raw materials and commodities. It bears recalling that fixed prices are set in supply contracts with certain commodities suppliers for a given period of time and that the contracts in place with the main customers also provide for automatic periodic indexing on the basis of commodities prices; both these approaches thus mitigate the risk of fluctuations in commodities prices. When it was not possible to take these mitigating measures, derivatives hedging the risk of fluctuations in commodities prices have been implemented, in particular for a little portion of purchases of Brembo Poland Spolka Zo.o.'s exposure to the risk of fluctuation in the price of electricity through a through PPAs (Power Purchase Agreement – Virtual and Physical) derivatives.

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk can arise from the inability to obtain the financial resources necessary to guarantee Brembo's operation.

To mitigate liquidity risk, the Treasury & Credit area:

  • constantly assesses financial requirements to ensure the appropriate measures are taken in a timely manner (obtaining additional credit lines, capital increases, etc.);
  • obtains adequate credit lines;
  • ensures the appropriate composition of net financial debt, i.e., investments are financed with medium-tolong-term debt (as well as with equity), and net working capital requirements are financed using short-term credit lines;
  • includes the Group companies in cash pooling structures to optimize any excess liquidity of participating companies.

For fixed- and variable-rate financial liabilities, both principal and interest were considered for the different maturity periods; for variable-rate liabilities, the rate at 31 December 2024 plus the relevant spread was used.

Some of the Group's loan agreements require the satisfaction of financial covenants and the obligation for the Group to meet certain financial ratio levels.

In detail, the following covenants and relevant maximum thresholds are to be complied with:

• Net financial debt/Gross operating income not exceeding 4.5.

If the covenants are not met, the financial institutions can request early repayment of the relevant loan.

The values of these covenants are monitored at the end of each quarter, and at 31 December 2024 the Group had complied with the covenants in question by a considerable margin.

Management believes that currently available lines of credit, apart from the cash flow generated by operating activities will allow Brembo to meet its financial

requirements arising from investing activities, working capital management, and the payment of payables at their natural maturities.

In further detail, at 31 December 2024, unused bank credit facilities accounted for 69% of the total (credit facilities totalled €838.3 million).

Credit Risk

Credit risk is the risk that a customer or one of the parties to a financial instrument will cause a financial loss by failing to perform an obligation. Exposure to credit risk for the Group arises mainly in relation to trade receivables. Most parties with which the Group does business are leading car and motorbike manufacturers with high credit standings.

The Group evaluates the creditworthiness of all new customers using assessments from external sources and then assigns a credit limit.

The approach used to calculate fair value is the present value of the future cash flows expected to derive from the instrument being measured, determined by discounting the scheduled instalments at a rate equal to the forward rate curve applicable to each account payable. In detail:

  • loans and payables to other lenders with a duration of more than 12 months were measured at fair value determined by applying the forward rates curve to the residual duration of the loan;
  • receivables, trade payables, held-to-maturity financial assets, and payables and receivables to and from banks due within 12 months were measured at their carrying amounts, inasmuch as this is believed to approximate fair values;
  • the fair value of derivatives was determined on the basis of valuation techniques that take into account observable market parameters other than the prices of the financial instrument.

SEGMENT REPORT

Based on the IFRS 8 definition, an operating segment is a component of an entity:

    1. that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses;
    1. whose operating results are reviewed regularly by the entity's chief operating decision maker to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance; and
    1. for which discrete financial information is available.

In light of such definition, the Brembo Group's operating segments are five GBUs (Global Business Units): Discs, Systems, Motorbikes, Performance Group, Aftermarket.

Each GBU Director reports to the top management and periodically discusses with them operating activities, financial statements results, forecasts or plans.

The Group thus aggregated the operating segments as follows for the purposes of financial reporting:

    1. Discs Systems Motorbikes;
    1. Aftermarket Performance Group.

The segments that are included in each aggregate are similar in terms of:

  • a) the nature of products (braking systems);
  • b) the nature of production processes (melting process, subsequent processing for finishing and assembly);
  • c) the type of customers (manufacturers for Group 1 and distributors for Group 2);
  • d) the methods used to distribute the products (targeted to manufacturers for Group 1 and through distribution chains for Group 2);
  • e) the economic characteristics (gross manufacturing margin percentage for Group 1 and gross operating income for Group 2).

Transfer prices applied to transactions between segments for the exchange of goods and services are settled according to usual market conditions.

In light of the requirements of IFRS 8 in terms of revenues earned from major customers, where a single customer is defined as all companies that belong to a given Group, Brembo had one customer in the segment Discs/Systems/ Motorbikes who, in 2024, accounted for approximately 12% of consolidated net revenues; considering the individual car manufacturers that compose such group, no one of them exceeded this threshold.

The following table shows segment information on sales of goods and services and results at 31 December 2024 and 31 December 2023:

Development costs

Item "Development costs" includes costs for development, internal and external, for a gross historical cost of €347,969 thousand. During the reporting year, this item changed due to higher costs incurred in 2024 for development orders received both during the year and in previous years, for which additional development costs were incurred; amortization amounting to €24,928 thousand was recognized for development costs associated with orders

regarding products that have already entered production.

The gross amount includes development activities for projects underway totalling €56,654 thousand. The total amount of costs for capitalized internal works charged to the Statement of Income in item "Costs for capitalized internal works" during the year amounted to €31,497 thousand (2023: €28,601 thousand).

Impairment losses totalled €2,528 thousand and
are recognized in the Statement of Income under
"Amortization, depreciation and impairment losses."
Impairment losses refer to development costs incurred
mainly by the Parent, Brembo N.V., in relation to projects
that, consistent with the desire of the customer or Brembo,
were not completed or underwent changes in terms of
their end destination.

AP Racing Ltd. 12,518 11,945
Total 111,663 108,276

The change compared to 31 December 2023 was attributable to the change in consolidation exchange rates.

CGUs are typically identified as the business being acquired and therefore tested for impairment. If the asset being tested for impairment refers to businesses operating in multiple business lines, it is attributed to all business lines in existence at the date of acquisition; this approach is consistent with valuations carried out at the acquisition date, which are typically based on the estimated recoverable amount of the entire investment.

Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives

This item includes €1,030 thousand related to the Villar trademark, owned by the subsidiary Corporación Upwards '98 S.A., €1,317 thousand to the SBS Friction trademark, €8,585 thousand to the J.Juan trademark and €383 thousand to the trademark LF of Brembo Huilian (Langfang) Brake Systems Co. Ltd.

Impairment test

The Group conducts an impairment test at year-end and whenever there are indicators of impairment losses. The Group's impairment test on goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives is based on value in use.

Among the various indicators of impairment losses, the Group considers the relationship between its market capitalization and equity, which at 31 December 2024 did not show any indicators of impairment losses.

Future cash flows used for the calculation are based on management's most recent operating and financial plans. In particular, in defining the future cash flows reference was made to:

  • the Group's 2025 Budget approved by the Board of Directors on 30 January 2025;
  • the Group's 2026-2028 Industrial Plan approved by the Board of Directors on 30 July 2024;

which both reflect the current expectations regarding economic conditions and market trends as well as the Company's initiatives for the period covered by the projections.

The main assumptions that determined the test outcome were:

  • the Group's rate (Group WACC) of 8.91% (9.79% in 2023). The change compared to the previous year was mainly due to the decrease in the intrest rates;
  • a growth rate (g-rate) used in determining terminal value of 1.5% (1.5% in 2023).
The previously mentioned impairment tests did not
indicate the need to recognize any impairment loss in the
reporting year.
After having performed the base tests, according to the
calculation for each CGU, the sensitivity analyses were
conducted. In the event of a change in the WACC from
8.91% to 9.91%, in the growth rate from 1.5% to 1% or a
decline in sales volumes/margins of 5%-10% over the plan
period, no impairment loss would be required.
In addition to the foregoing, the Group analysed the
presence of impairment indicators on the various CGUs
that do not present goodwill recognized or fixed assets
with indefinite useful lives. However, for these CGUs,
the impairment test for Property, plant, equipment and
other equipment, Right of use assets, Development costs
and Other intangible assets is only required when such
indicators are present.
In the reporting year, impairment indicators were
identified with reference to Brembo Czech S.r.o. The
impairment test and sensitivity analyses on the above
CGU did not identify any risks of impairment (for
methodology, reference is made to what is stated above
with regard to goodwill).
Despite including considerable investments relating to
sustainability objectives in its financial plans, Brembo has
introduced an additional sensitivity scenario for its flows
(at both Group level and GBU level), designed to reflect
its carbon neutrality goals. Accordingly, cash outflows
were simulated, both during the explicit period and in
the estimate of terminal value, which simulate the cost of
neutralising CO
emissions (Scope 1) on the basis of the
2
market values that would be incurred to neutralize them.
Impairment tests did not indicate the need to recognize
any impairment loss in the reporting year.

Other intangible assets

Acquisitions recognized under "Other intangible assets" totalled €15,625 thousand and refer for €1,796 thousand to the filing of specific patents and trademarks, and for the remaining amount mainly to the share of the investment for the reporting year associated with the development of the Group's Digital Transformation plan.

Other securities 53 447
Other 2,512 2,464
Total 15,204 303,428

The item "Investments in other companies measured at fair value" consisted of the fair value of the 10.33% interest held in E-Novia S.p.A. amounting to €914 thousand. The change in value compared to 31 December 2023 was mainly due to the sale of the entire stake of ordinary shares of Pirelli & C. S.p.A. Brembo placed 55,800,000 Pirelli ordinary shares to institutional investors, equal to approximately 5.58% of the Company's issued share capital, at a price of € 5.07 per share for €282,906 thousands booked at fair value through other comprehensive income.

"Investments in other companies measured at cost" also includes the 10% interest in International Sport Automobile S.àr.l. and the 1.20% interest in Fuji Co. The change of €1,041 thousand on 31 December 2023 was attributable to the Parent's interest in consortium funds intended for research for €45 thousand and to the acquisition of a the 2.11% in Spoke Safety, a U.S. startup specializing in the development of digital communication technologies between vehicles and the road ecosystem, for €996 thousand.

The item "Derivatives" refers for €4,433 thousand to the fair value of derivative assets relating to a specific financial transaction hedging against the risk of fluctuation in the electricity price undertaken in 2021 by Brembo Poland Sp.Zo.o. and for €4,565 thousand to the non-current portion of the fair value of two IRSs entered into directly by the Parent Brembo N.V., for a remaining notional amount of €50 million and €175 million, respectively, at 31 December 2024, hedging the change in interest rate risk associated with a specific outstanding loan. These IRSs fall within the requirements set forth in the accounting standards relating to hedge accounting (cash flow hedge). The change in fair value compared to 31 December 2023 was recognized as a component of comprehensive income, net of the tax effect, given that the hedge is fully effective.

"Other" includes interest-free security deposits for utilities and car rental agreements.

  • unrecognized deferred tax assets of J.Juan S.A.U. calculated on prior years' losses (€8,488 thousand) eligible to be unlimitedly carried forward — amounted to €2,122 thousand;
  • Brembo Czech Sro. has three tax incentive plans, one of CZK 133.1 million (expiring in 2026), one of CZK 63.8 million (expiring in 2029) and another of CZK 367.0 million (expiring in 2031), on which the company did not recognize any deferred tax assets;
  • at 31 December 2024, deferred tax liabilities of €5,975 thousand were recognized on profits of subsidiaries, associates or joint ventures which the Group considers may be distributed in the foreseeable future;
  • at 31 December 2024, the temporary differences between the Parent's share of the net assets of the subsidiary, associate or investee company, including the book value of goodwill, and the value of the investment or shareholding (cost) (as indicated in §38 of IAS 12) amounted to €1,321 million and were considered to be permanently reinvested, since these provisions are used to fund current transactions and future business growth in those countries in which the same subsidiary resides; as a result, no deferred tax liability was recognized on the taxable portion of such differences.

7. INVENTORIES

A breakdown of net inventories, which are stated net of the inventory write-down provision, is shown below:

(euro thousand) 31.12.2024 31.12.2023
Raw materials 249,033 228,060
Work in progress 123,415 148,749
Finished products 216,357 196,547
Goods in transit 49,505 48,341
Total 638,310 621,697

The change compared to 31 December 2023 was attributable to the higher cost of raw materials and greater volumes, as well as to a policy aimed at increasing the supply of inventories in order to tackle any supply chain-related risks. Movements in the inventory writedown provision are reported in the following table:

(euro thousand) 31.12.2024 31.12.2023

Exchange rate fluctuations 733 77
Reclassification (112) 9
Balance at end of period 88,495 76,913

The inventory write-down provision was determined in order to align the cost of inventories to their estimated realisable value; the provision increased due to higher depreciation calculated on obsolete goods as a result of faster renewal of product ranges.

8. TRADE RECEIVABLES

At 31 December 2024, the balance of account receivables from customers compared to the end of the previous year was as follows:

(euro thousand) 31.12.2024 31.12.2023
Receivables from customers 629,007 601,774
Receivables from associates
and joint ventures
2,388 3,103
Total 631,395 604,877

The increase in trade receivables is mainly due to higher overdue receivables, which in any case did not entail any criticality.

The bad debt risk is not concentrated in any one area, as the Group has a client portfolio spread across the various geographical areas in which it operates.

Account receivables from customers are recognized net of the provision for bad debts, which amounted to €17,946 thousand. Movements in the provision for bad debts are shown below:

(euro thousand) 31.12.2024 31.12.2023
Balance at beginning of period 8,455 7,285
Provisions 11,273 2,734
Use/Release (1,822) (2,164)
Exchange rate fluctuations 40 148
Reclassifications 0 452
Balance at end of period 17,946 8,455

The increase of provision is related to legal restructuring proceeding with self-administration of a primary listed OE producer.

The Brembo Group's maximum credit risk exposure is

the book value of the gross financial assets recognized in the financial statements, net of any amounts offset in accordance with IAS 32 and any impairment losses recognized in accordance with IFRS 9.

It bears noting that Brembo has no credit insurance contracts as its credit risk is modest since its main business partners are leading car and motorbike manufacturers with high credit standing.

To mitigate commercial credit risk towards third parties, the Group applies procedures for assessing their financial solidity. These involve an analysis of the last three annual financial statements available, with the assignment of the relevant rating and commercial credit limit. Operating credit management is entrusted to a dedicated team that performs thorough checks on past-due accounts, involving the Sales Departments to which the customers are assigned as necessary.

To express the creditworthiness of financial assets the Group has elected to distinguish between clients who are listed or not listed on the stock exchange. Listed clients are those listed on a stock market, directly or indirectly controlled by a listed company or closely connected to listed companies.

The item "Derivatives" refers for €5,276 thousand to the current portion of the fair value of two IRSs entered into directly by the Parent Brembo N.V., for a remaining notional amount of €50 million and €175 million, respectively, at 31 December 2024, hedging the change in interest rate risk associated with a specific outstanding loan. These IRSs fall within the requirements set forth in the accounting standards relating to hedge accounting (cash flow hedge). The change in fair value compared to 31 December 2023 was recognized as a component of comprehensive income, net of the tax effect, given that the hedge is fully effective. S.p.A., as mentioned in note 4. In addition to the amount recognized in the Statement of Cash Flows, it should be noted that interest paid in the year totalled €52,804 thousand (€36,668 thousand in 2023). This interest does not include the €11,332 thousand positive differentials on the IRSs entered into to hedge against the change in interest-rate risk on the variable-rate loans.

The items listed above can be converted readily into cash and are not exposed to a significant risk that their value may change. It is deemed that the book value of cash and cash equivalents approximates their fair value at the reporting date. Cash is on deposit with credit institutions whose ratings are constantly monitored in order to select only financially sound counterparties.

The item also includes the fair value of derivative assets relating to hedging through currency forwards for €18,709 thousand. 11.

16. EMPLOYEE BENEFITS

Group companies provide post-employment benefits through defined contribution plans or defined benefit plans.

In the case of defined contribution plans, the Group companies pay contributions to public or private insurance institutes based on legal or contractual obligations or on a voluntary basis. Once such contributions have been paid, the companies have no further payment obligations. Defined contribution plans include a plan relating to Brembo Huilian (Langfang) Brake Systems Co. Ltd. and reserved for 17 early retired employees, who have guaranteed monthly payments until they reach pension age.

The employees of the UK subsidiary AP Racing Ltd. have the benefit of a corporate pension plan (AP Racing Pension Scheme), which is made up of two sections: the first is a defined contribution plan for employees hired after 1 April 2001, and the second is a defined benefit plan for those already in service at 1 April 2001 (and previously covered by the AP Group Pension Fund). The defined benefit plan is funded by employer and employee contributions made to a trustee that is legally separate from the enterprise providing benefits to its employees. Brembo México S.A. de C.V., Brembo Japan Co. Ltd. and Brembo Brake India Pvt. Ltd. offer to their employees specific pension plans that qualify as defined benefit plans.

Defined benefit plans include also the "Employees' leaving entitlement" provided by the Group's Italian companies, in accordance with current applicable regulations.

The value of defined benefit plans is calculated on an actuarial basis using the "Projected Unit Credit Method". Item "Other employee benefits" includes the liability associated with the 2022-2024 three-year incentive plan reserved for top managers, to be settled in May 2025.

Exchange rate gains 294,896 147,358
Interests income from employee's

Total interest expense (358,357) (204,917)
Total net interest income
(expense) (38,573) (34,328)

Items "Exchange rate gains" and "Exchange rate losses" include the effects of the management of foreign exchange hedges undertaken through forward contracts for a negative amount of € 7,143 thousand. For contracts of this type, the Company does not opt to apply hedge accounting pursuant to IFRS 9 since there is no formal designation of the hedged item and hedging instrument, in the belief that the representation of the impact of the strategy for hedging this risk on the Statement of Income and Statement of Financial Position is nonetheless assured.

Net exchange differences as at 31 December 2024, amounting to a negative €12,508 thousand (negative for €13,951 thousand at 31 December 2023), relate mainly to the effect of translation into local currency of accounts receivable and payable in foreign currencies included in the financial statements of foreign subsidiaries.

29. INTEREST INCOME (EXPENSE) FROM INVESTMENTS

Net interest income from investments (excluding nonfinancial investments described in Note 24) amounted to €11,131 thousand (€12,256 thousand in 2023), and was mainly attributable to the dividends received by investees not included in the consolidation area and, for the remainder, to the effects of valuing investments in associates using the equity method.

31. EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share were €0.82 at 31 December 2024 (€0.94 at 31 December 2023), and were calculated by dividing the net income or loss for the year attributable to holders of ordinary equity instruments of the Parent by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding in 2024, amounting to 319,230,990 (2023: 323,640,100). Diluted earnings per share are identical to basic earnings per share inasmuch as no diluting transactions were undertaken.

The Statement of Comprehensive Income includes:

  • the fair value measurement of the interests in Pirelli S.p.A. and E-Novia S.p.A., net of the tax effect, positive for €4,729 thousand (positive for €50,885 thousand in 2023);
  • the fair value measurement of derivatives, net of the tax effect, positive for €4,113 thousand (negative for €39,239 thousand in 2023);

DISCRETIONARY VALUATIONS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

Preparing financial statements in compliance with the applicable accounting standards requires management to make estimates that may have a significant effect on the items reported in the accounts. Estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and

other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the current circumstances and given the information available at the reporting date. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Estimates and associated assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions of estimates are recognized in the period in which such estimates are revised. Management's decisions that have a significant impact on the financial statements and estimates, and have a significant risk of material adjustments to the book value of assets and liabilities in the next accounting period, are discussed in the notes to the individual financial statement entries.

The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date, which have significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year, are described below.

Capitalization of development costs

The initial capitalization is based on management's judgement about the technical and economic feasibility of the project, usually when the project has reached a certain phase of the development plan. When assessing the recoverability of development costs, recoverable amount is estimated on the basis of the future cash flows expected from the project, the applicable discount rates and the period in which expected benefits will be generated. Further information is given in Note 2 of these Explanatory Notes.

Taxes

The Financial Statements include deferred tax assets associated with the recognition of tax losses or tax credits that may be used in subsequent years and income components that are tax-deductible on a deferred basis, resulting in an amount the future recovery of which is deemed highly probable by company management. The recoverability of such deferred tax assets is conditional on earning future taxable income sufficient to offset such tax losses and for the use of the benefits of other deferred tax assets. Significant management's judgement is required in assessing the probability of the recoverability of deferred tax assets, taking into account all possible negative and positive evidence, and in determining the amount that may be recognized on the basis of the timing and amount of future taxable income, future tax planning strategies and the tax rates in effect when the differences will be reversed. Deferred tax liabilities for taxes on non-distributed profits of subsidiaries, associates or joint ventures are not recognized to the extent that it is considered probable that they will not be distributed in the foreseeable future. The wide range of international commercial relations, the long-term nature and the complexity of current contractual agreements, any differences between actual results and formulated hypothesis, or future changes of those assumptions, may require future adjustments to previously recognized income taxes and expenses. If it should be concluded that the Group is no longer able to recover in future years part or all of the deferred tax assets recognized, the consequent adjustment will be taken to the Statement of Income in the year in which this occurs. The recoverability of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each period. Deferred tax assets not recognized in the financial statements are reassessed at each reporting date to verify the conditions for recognising them. Further information is given in Note 6 of these Explanatory Notes.

Impairment of non-financial assets

The recoverable amounts of such assets have been verified in accordance with the criteria laid down in IAS 36. When

determining their recoverable amount, the Company generally applies the criterion of value in use, defined as the present value of the future cash flows expected from the assets being assessed. An impairment loss occurs when the carrying amount of an asset or a cashgenerating unit exceeds its recoverable amount, which is the greater of fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. Recoverable amount is highly dependant on the discount rate used in the discounted cash flow model (which reflects the current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset in question), the expected future cash flows and the growth rate used for extrapolation. The expected future cash flows used to determine value in use are based on the most recent financial plan approved by management, containing projected volumes, revenues, operating costs and investments.

Defined benefit plan The cost of defined benefit pension plans and the present value of the defined benefit obligation are determined according to an actuarial assessment. Costs and liabilities associated with such plans are calculated based on estimates prepared by actuarial consultants, who use a combination of statistical and actuarial factors, including statistical data concerning previous years and projections of future costs. In addition, the components of estimation also include mortality and retirement rates, assumptions regarding the future evolution of discount rates, salary growth rates and inflation rates. These estimates may differ substantially from actual results due to the development of economic and market conditions, increases or decreases in retirement rates and the life expectancy of participants. Due to the complexity of the assessment and its long-term nature, such estimates are extremely sensitive to changes in assumptions. All assumptions are therefore reviewed annually. Further information is given in Note 16 of these Explanatory Notes.

Fair value measurement of financial instruments

The determination of the fair value of financial instruments is a structured process involving the use of complex valuation methodologies and techniques and the collection of up-to-date information from the markets of reference and/or the use of internal input data. The fair value of financial instruments is calculated on the basis of market prices, where available, or, for unlisted financial instruments, by applying specific valuation techniques based on the discounting of future cash flows. As with other estimates, the determination of fair value, while based on the best available information and the adoption of adequate valuation methodologies and techniques, is intrinsically characterized by elements of uncertainty and the use of professional judgement, which could result in projected values that differ from actual results.

Climate Change

A worldwide process of decarbonization and electrification of the global economy is in progress. In accordance with the requirements of the Paris Agreement, this process is crucial to achieving the net zero goal, which should prevent the severe consequences of an increase in temperatures of over 1.5°C.

To this end, and as illustrated in greater detail in the Sustainability Statement, the Company has set its own strategic guidelines, which lay down:

  • a process aimed at reducing to zero by 2040 the CO2 emissions classified as Scope 1 and 2 (direct and indirect emissions generated by its activities) and Scope 3 (emissions generated by the value chain);
  • the development of solutions that facilitate the emission reduction, increasing vehicles' overall efficiency.
  • Within this framework, IAS 1 requires that the Notes to the Financial Statements include a disclosure of the entity's assumptions concerning the future that might entail a significant risk of causing a material adjustment

in the subsequent financial year. The consequences in terms of investments, costs and cash flows are taken into consideration when preparing the financial statements, in accordance with the progress of the roadmap of the process (e.g., revision of the useful lives of assets planned to be replaced, adjustment of impairment tests to reflect the impacts on investment flows, etc.). It is possible that in the future the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the Company's financial statements may be subject to various impacts as the strategy for managing climate change continues to evolve. These aspects are monitored through coordination between the various company functions involving a cross-functional work team set up to conduct thorough analyses of the impact of projects aimed at reducing the emissions generated by the production process and value chain. The roadmap to achieving the net zero goal is periodically updated and discussed within the Sustainability Committee to assess specific investment needs, evaluate the impact of external events and update the state of progress.

Pursuant to IAS 36, impairment tests are conducted on the basis of the Company's Business Plan, which in turn is founded on short-, medium- and long-term strategic objectives. The cash flows used are therefore drawn from this plan and include both the risks and opportunities associated with climate change (e.g., energy efficiency projects, replacement of energy sources, development of low-emissions products, etc.).

IAS 16 and 38 establish the criteria for capitalising costs. Costs, including those of developing new solutions that reduce consumption, are capitalized when they meet the requirements set by the two standards. The useful lives of property, plant and equipment, along with those of intangible assets, are determined in accordance with the Company's strategic objectives and Business Plan. IFRS 13 requires a disclosure of the key assumptions used when assets are measured at fair value and measurement may include various possible scenarios. In addition, specific sensitivity analyses are conducted to take account of the various future scenarios.

On the basis of IAS 37, it is possible that the provisions

Index Letter from the Executive Chairman Vision and Mission

previously recognized for future events could be realized sooner, with the resulting change in the estimate to be recognized. Climate change, and the ensuing associated legislation, might require the reconsideration of such estimates and recognition of liabilities previously not recognized, for which specific disclosure would be provided.

Despite including considerable investments relating to sustainability objectives in its financial plans, the Company has introduced an additional sensitivity scenario for its flows, designed to reflect its carbon neutrality goals. Accordingly, cash outflows were simulated, both during the explicit period and in the estimate of terminal value, which simulate the cost of neutralising CO2 emissions (Scope 1) on the basis of the market values that would be incurred to neutralize them.

CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING STANDARDS AND DISCLOSURES

The valuation and measurement criteria used are based on the IFRS in force as of 31 December 2024 and endorsed by the European Union. In the reporting year, the Company applied a series of amendments to the international accounting standards issued by the IASB that entered into effect on a mandatory basis for accounting periods that begin on or after 1 January 2024. Their adoption had no impact on the information or the amounts indicated in these Financial Statements.

Amendments to IFRS 16 – Leases

The IASB has issued narrow-scope amendments to the requirements for sale and leaseback transactions in IFRS 16 explaining how a seller-lessee accounts for a sale and leaseback after the date of the transaction. Sale and leaseback transactions where some or all the lease payments are variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are most likely to be impacted.

Amendments to IAS 1 – Presentation of Financial Statements

The amendments to IAS 1 clarify the criteria for classifying liabilities with covenants as current or non-current. The amendments will also require companies to provide additional information to stakeholders. The changes introduced by the amendments require companies to consider the potential impact for their loan arrangements and the presentation of their financial statements.

Amendments to IAS 7 – Statement of Cash Flows and IFRS 7 – Financial Instruments

Other standards, interpretations or amendments, endorsed or not yet endorsed, and not yet entered into force at the reporting date, are listed in the following table:

In May 2023, the International Accounting Standards Board issued amendments to IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows and IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures. With the amendments, the IASB has introduced new disclosure requirements in IFRS Standards to enhance the transparency and, thus, the usefulness of the information provided by entities about supplier finance arrangements. Amendments to the Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments (issued on 30 May 2024) No The Company did not opt for early adoption of new standards, interpretations or amendments that have been issued but have not entered into force yet.

5.4.2 ACCOUNTING STANDARDS AND VALUATION CRITERIA

BUSINESS COMBINATIONS AND GOODWILL

Business combinations (established after the date of transition to IFRS) are accounted for using the purchase accounting method envisaged by IFRS 3. The value of the entity included in the business combination is the sum of the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including contingent liabilities.

The cost of a business combination is identified as the fair value, at the date control is obtained, of the assets acquired, liabilities assumed and equity instruments issued for the purposes of the combination. That cost is then compared with the fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities upon acquisition. Any positive difference between the cost of the acquisition and the Company's share of the fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities upon acquisition is recognized as goodwill. Any negative differences are charged directly to the Statement of Income. If the initial cost of a business combination can only be determined provisionally, adjustments to the initial provisional values must be made within twelve months of the acquisition date. Minority interests are recognized on the basis of the fair value of the net assets acquired. If a business combination involves more than one transaction, with successive share purchases, each transaction is treated separately using the cost of the transaction and fair value information on the assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities at the date of each transaction to determine the amount of any differences. When control of a company is obtained through a subsequent share purchase, the previously held interests are accounted for again based on the fair value of identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities at the date control is acquired. The acquiree measures contingent consideration at fair value at the acquisition date. The change in fair value of contingent consideration classified as an asset or liability, in that it is a financial instrument falling within the scope of IFRS 9, must be recognized in profit or loss or in Other Comprehensive Income. If the contingent consideration is not within the scope of IFRS 9, it is measured in accordance with the relevant IFRS. If the contingent consideration is classified as an equity instrument, its value is not remeasured and its subsequent settlement is recognized in equity.

Goodwill is initially recognized at cost, as the difference of the aggregate of the value of the consideration transferred and the amount attributed to minority interests compared to net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed

Highlights Report Statement Governance Statements

by the Company. If the consideration is lower than the fair value of net assets of the acquired subsidiary, the difference is recognized in profit or loss. After initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any impairment losses. For the purposes of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is allocated from the acquisition date to each of the Company's cash-generating units that is expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the acquiree have been assigned to those units.

If goodwill has been allocated to a cash-generating unit and the entity disposes of an operation within that unit, the goodwill associated with the operation disposed of is included in the carrying amount of the operation when determining the gain or loss on disposal. The goodwill associated with the operation disposed of is measured on the basis of the relative value of the operation disposed of and the portion of the cash-generating unit retained.

EQUITY INVESTMENTS IN ASSOCIATES AND JOINT VENTURES

Impaired equity investments in subsidiaries and associates are stated at adjusted cost.

The positive difference, arising at the time of purchase, between the acquisition cost and the share of the investee's equity pertaining to the Company at current values is therefore included in the equity investment's carrying value.

Equity investments are tested for impairment where impairment indicators are identified. If there is evidence that such equity investments have become impaired, this is recognized in the Statement of Income as a writedown. If any of the Company's share of the investee's impairment losses exceeds the equity investment's book value, and the Company is obliged or intends to meet such losses, the value of the equity investment is reduced to zero and the exceeding losses amount is recognized as a provision under liabilities. If, at a later date, the impairment ceases to exist or is reduced, the reversal, which must not exceed the cost, is recognized in the Statement of Income.

When significant influence over an associate or joint control of a joint venture is lost, the Company measures and recognizes the residual investment at fair value. The difference between the carrying amount of the investment at the date significant influence or joint control is lost and the fair value of the residual investment and consideration received is recognized in profit or loss.

SHAREHOLDINGS IN OTHER COMPANIES

Shareholdings in other companies are classified and measured at fair values through other comprehensive income (OCI), as better described in the section "Financial Instruments – Financial Assets" below.

TRANSACTIONS IN CURRENCIES OTHER THAN THE FUNCTIONAL CURRENCY

Transactions in currencies other than the functional currency are initially converted into the functional currency using the exchange rate prevailing at the date of the transaction. At the closing date of the accounting period, monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rate prevailing at that date. Exchange differences arising from such translation are recognized in the Statement of Income.

Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency that are carried at cost are translated using the exchange rate prevailing at the transaction date, while those carried at fair value are translated using the exchange rate prevailing on the date the fair value is determined.

PROPERTY, PLANT, EQUIPMENT AND RIGHT OF USE ASSETS

Recognition and measurement

Property, plant, equipment and other equipment are recognized at cost, net of the related accumulated depreciation and any impairment loss. The cost includes the purchase or production price and direct costs incurred for bringing the asset to the location and in the conditions necessary for it to be capable of being operated; interest expense is also included, where applicable under IAS 23. Subsequent to initial recognition, the asset continues to be carried at cost and depreciated based on its useful life net of any impairment in value, taking into account any residual value.

Land, including land linked to buildings, is recognized separately and is not depreciated since it is regarded as having an indefinite useful life.

Subsequent costs

Costs for improvements and transformations that increase the value of assets (i.e., they result in probable future economic rewards that can be reliably measured) are recognized in the assets section of the Statements of Financial Position as increases in the reference assets or as separate assets. Costs are recognized in the year in which they are incurred, where they relate to maintenance or repair and do not lead to any significant and measurable increase in productive capacity or in the useful life of the relevant asset.

Depreciation

Depreciation represents the economic and technical loss of value of the asset and is charged from when the asset is available for use; it is calculated using the straight-line method based on the rate considered representative of the estimated useful life of the asset.

The range of expected useful lives of property, plant and equipment used for calculating depreciation is reported below:

Category Useful life
Land Indefinite
Buildings 10-35 years
Plant and machinery 5-10 years
Industrial and commercial equipment 2.5-10 years
Other assets 4-10 years

The residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods applied to property, plant and equipment are reviewed at the end of each year and prospectively corrected, where appropriate. Useful lives are unchanged compared to the previous year.

Leases

IFRS 16 sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases. It requires lessees to recognize all lease contracts in the financial statements on the basis of a single accounting model similar to that used to recognize finance leases that were governed by IAS 17. The lessee recognizes a liability for payments of rental fees specified in the lease contract and an asset representing the right to use the underlying asset for the period of the contract. Lessees must recognize separately the interest paid on the lease liability and depreciation of the right to use the asset. Lessees must also re-measure the lease liability when certain events happen (e.g., a change in lease contract conditions, a change in future lease payments caused by a change in an index or rate used to determine those payments). The lessee generally recognizes the re-measured amount of the lease liability as an adjustment to the right to use the asset.

Highlights Report Statement Governance Statements

Leasehold improvements

Improvements to third-party assets that can be considered fixed assets are capitalized to the appropriate asset category and depreciated over the shorter of their useful life or the lease term.

DEVELOPMENT COSTS AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS

The Company recognizes intangible assets when the following conditions are met:

  • the asset is identifiable, or separable, or can be separated or removed from the entity;
  • the asset is controlled by the Company, meaning that the Company has the power to obtain future economic rewards from the asset;
  • it is probable that the Company will enjoy future rewards attributable to the asset.

Intangible assets are initially measured at cost; subsequent to initial recognition, they are carried at cost less amortization, which is calculated using the straightline method (beginning on the date the assets are available for use) over their useful lives, and net of any impairment losses, taking into account any residual value.

The useful life of assets is reviewed periodically.

An intangible asset generated in the development phase of an internal project is recognized as asset if the Company can demonstrate:

  • the technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale;
  • the intention to complete the intangible asset and the ability to use or sell it;
  • how the intangible asset will generate probable future economic rewards;
  • the availability of adequate resources to complete the asset;
  • the ability to measure reliably the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its

development;

• the ability to use the intangible asset generated.

Category Useful life
Development costs 3-5 years
Goodwill and other fixed assets with indefinite useful
lives
Indefinite
Industrial patents and similar rights 5-10 years
Other intangible assets 3-5 years

The residual values, useful lives and amortization methods applied to intangible assets are reviewed at the end of each year and prospectively corrected, where appropriate. Useful lives are unchanged compared to the previous year.

IMPAIRMENT OF NON-FINANCIAL ASSETS

Research costs are recognized in the Statement of Income. Similarly, in the case of externally acquired intangibles that qualify as research and development costs, only the costs attributable to the development phase are recognized as assets, provided that the above requirements are met. Such costs are capitalized under "Development costs" and amortized only when the development phase is concluded and the asset developed generates economic rewards. In the period in which internal development costs that can be capitalized are incurred, these costs are excluded from the Statement of Income item "Increase on internal works capitalized" and recognized in the item "Costs for capitalized internal works". The range of expected useful lives of intangible fixed assets used for calculating amortization is reported below: question. The recoverable value is the greater of the fair value of an asset or cash-generating unit less the costs of disposal and the value in use, determined as the present value of estimated future cash flows. The value in use is defined as the cash flows expected to arise from the use of an asset, or the sum of the cash flows in the case of more cash-generating units. The expected future cash flows are measured using the unlevered discounted cash flows method and each group of assets is discounted to the present value using the WACC method (weighted average cost of capital). If the recoverable amount is less than the carrying amount, the carrying amount is reduced to the recoverable amount, and, as a general rule, the impairment loss is recorded in the Statement of Income. When the impairment loss of an asset (except for goodwill) is subsequently reversed, the carrying value of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is increased to the new estimate of recoverable value, without exceeding the value prior to write-down.

Property, plant, equipment, other equipment, right of use assets, development costs, other intangible assets and equity investments are tested for impairment whenever there are any indications of impairment.

Write-downs correspond to the difference between the carrying value and recoverable value of the assets in

INVENTORIES

Inventories of raw materials and finished products are stated at the lower of cost of acquisition or market value and the corresponding presumable net realisable value estimated from market trends.

The purchase cost includes costs incurred to bring each asset to the place it is stored. Manufacturing costs of finished products and semi-finished goods include direct costs and a portion of indirect costs that can be reasonably attributed to the products based on normal exploitation of the production capacity; interest expense is excluded. Work in progress is valued at production costs for the year, based on the progress report.

The cost of inventories of raw materials, finished goods, goods for resale and semi-finished products is calculated using the weighted mean cost method.

For raw materials, ancillaries and consumables, the presumable net realisable value corresponds to the replacement cost. For finished products and semi-finished goods, the presumable net realisable value corresponds

to the estimated sales price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and costs to sell. Inventories that are obsolete or characterized by a long turnover period are written down on the basis of their possible useful life or future realisable value, by creating a

special provision for inventory adjustment.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

Cash and cash equivalents include cash balances, unrestricted deposits and other treasury investments with original maturities of up to three months. A treasury investment is classified among cash and cash equivalents when it is instantly convertible to cash with minimal risk of any fluctuation in value and when it is intended to meet short-term cash requirements and is not held as an investment.

For purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows, cash balances are stated net of bank overdrafts at the end of the period.

PROVISIONS

Provisions include certain or probable costs of a specific nature, the amount or settlement date of which could not be determined at year-end.

A provision is recognized when:

  • there is a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event;
  • it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation;
  • a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

Provisions are recognized at the present value of the expected expenditure required to settle the related obligation. Where the Company expects some or all of the

1. 2. 3. Corporate 5.
Corporate Directors' Sustainability 4. Financial
Highlights Report Statement Governance Statements

expenditure required to settle a provision to be reimbursed, such as for the case of insured risks, the reimbursement is treated as a separate asset and is recognized when, and only when, it is virtually certain that the reimbursement will be received. In this case, the expense relating to the provision is presented in the Statement of Income net of the amount recognized for the reimbursement. Provisions are periodically updated to reflect changes in cost estimates, timing and present value, if any; revisions to estimates of provisions are recognized under the same item of the Statement of Income under which the original provision was recognized and in the Statement of Income of the period in which the change is made. When provisions are discounted to present value, the change resulting from the passage of time or interest rate fluctuations is recognized under "Net interest income (expense)". Any provisions for restructuring costs are recognized when the Company has approved a formal detailed plan and communicated it to the parties involved. A provision for costs arising from tax liabilities is recognized when the dispute to which the contingent liability refers is ongoing or likely.

Provisions for product warranty costs are recognized when products are sold. Initial recognition is based on historical experience, excluding exceptional events, for which a precise assessment is conducted. The initial estimate of the costs of warranty work is reviewed annually.

EMPLOYEE BENEFITS

The difference between defined contribution plans, wholly unfunded defined benefit plans, wholly or partly funded defined benefit plans and other forms of long-term benefits is reported below.

Defined contribution plans

Defined contribution plans are post-employment benefit plans under which the Company pays contributions to an insurance company or pension fund and has no legal or constructive obligation to pay further contributions if,

when the benefit right matures, the fund does not have sufficient assets to pay all benefits relating to employee service in the current or prior periods.

These contributions, which are paid for the services rendered by employees, are recognized in the same accounting period in which the services are rendered.

Defined benefit plans and other long-term benefits

Defined benefit plans are post-employment benefit plans that entail a future obligation for the Company. The company assumes actuarial and investment risks in relation to the plan.

To determine the present value of its obligations relating to such plans and the related service costs, Brembo N.V. uses the "Projected Unit Credit Method".

This actuarial calculation method requires the use of unbiased and mutually compatible actuarial assumptions about demographic variables (mortality rate and employee turnover rate) and financial variables (discount rates and future increases in salary and benefits). When a defined benefit plan is wholly or partly funded by contributions paid either into a fund that is legally separate from the company or to an insurance company, any plan assets are measured at fair value. The obligation is therefore stated net of the fair value of the plan assets that will be used to directly meet such obligation. Remeasurements, which include actuarial gains and losses, any changes in the effect of the assets ceiling (excluding net interest) and return on plan assets (excluding net interest) are recognized immediately in the Statement of Financial Position, debiting or crediting retained earnings through Other Comprehensive Income in the period in which they occur. Remeasurements are not reclassified through profit or loss in the following years.

Other long-term benefits refer to employee benefits other than post-employment benefits. They are accounted for in the same manner as defined benefit plans.

OWN SHARES

Own shares bought back are recognized at cost and are deducted from equity. No gain or loss is recognized in the Statement of Income on the purchase, sale, or cancellation of the company's own shares. The difference between the carrying amount and the consideration, in case of reissue, is recognized in the share premium reserve.

GOVERNMENT GRANTS

Government grants are recognized at fair value, when there is reasonable assurance that all necessary conditions attached to them have been satisfied and the grants will be received.

Grants received in recognition of specific expenses are recognized as liabilities and credited to the Statement of Income on a systematic basis over the periods necessary to match the grant income with the related expenditure. Grants received for defined assets that are recognized as fixed assets are accounted for as non-current liabilities and credited to the Statement of Income in relation to the period in which depreciation or amortization is charged for the relevant assets.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

The Company measures financial instruments, such as derivatives, at fair value at the end of each financial period. 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.

Fair value measurement assumes a sale of the asset or transfer of the liability taking place:

  • in the principal market for the asset or liability; or
  • in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market for the asset or liability.

The principal or most advantageous market must be accessible to the Company.

Fair value measurement takes into account the characteristics of the asset or liability being measured that market participants would consider when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act with the aim of best satisfying their economic interest. A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant's ability to generate economic rewards by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use.

The Company uses valuation techniques appropriate to the circumstances and for which sufficient data for fair value measurement are available, thus maximising the use of significant observable inputs and minimising the use of unobservable inputs.

All assets and liabilities, the fair value of which has been measured or recognized in the financial statements, are categorized based on the fair value hierarchy, as described below:

  • Level 1 quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date;
  • Level 2 inputs other than quoted market prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly;
  • Level 3 measurement techniques whereby inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

The fair value measurement is categorized in its entirety in the hierarchy level of the lowest level input that has been used for the measurement.

For assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, the Company determines whether shifts have occurred between hierarchy levels and revises the categorization (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the entire fair value measurement) at the end of each financial period.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity.

Financial assets

Financial assets are initially recognized at their fair value, plus ancillary costs. Upon initial recognition, financial assets are classified, depending on their nature, in the following categories: financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss or through other comprehensive income (OCI), loans, receivables and financial assets available for sale.

Loans and receivables (the category of greatest significance for the Company) are non-derivative financial assets, with fixed or determinable payments, that are not quoted in an active market. After initial recognition, such financial assets are measured at amortized cost, using the effective interest rate method, less impairment losses. Amortized cost is calculated by including any discounts, premiums or fees and/or costs, which are an integral part of the effective interest rate. The effective interest rate is recognized as interest income in the Statement of Income. Impairment losses are recognized in the Statement of Income as interest expense. This category normally includes trade and other receivables.

When accounting for financial assets measured at amortized cost, the Company first assesses whether impairment exists for each financial asset that is individually significant, and collectively for financial assets that are not individually significant. The carrying amount of an asset is reduced by recognising a writedown provision, and the amount of the loss is recognized in the Statement of Income. Loans and the associated write-down provisions are derecognized when there is no realistic prospect that they may be recovered in future and the guarantees have been enforced or transferred to the Company. If, in a subsequent year, the amount of an estimated impairment loss increases or decreases because of an event occurring after the impairment is recognized,

through OCI when they are held in a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets. Upon the initial recognition of investments in equity instruments, the Company may irrevocably elect to classify its investments as equity instruments measured at fair value through OCI where they meet the definition of an equity instrument pursuant to IAS 32 – Financial Instruments: Presentation and are not held for trading. The classification is determined for each instrument. Gains and losses on such financial assets are never transferred to profit or loss. Dividends are recognized as other income in profit or loss when entitlement to payment is approved, unless the Company benefits from such income as a recovery of part of the cost of the financial asset, in which case the profits are taken to OCI. Equity instruments measured at fair value through OCI are not tested for impairment.

the previously recognized impairment loss is increased or decreased by adjusting the provision. Financial assets are classified and measured at fair values value; when the fair value cannot be reliably determined, equity investments are measured at cost adjusted for impairment.

Financial liabilities

Financial assets are derecognized from the financial statements when the right to receive cash flows ceases, the Company transfers the right to receive cash flows from the asset to a third party, or the Company assumes a contractual obligation to pay them in full and without delay, and: • it has transferred substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset; or • it has neither transferred nor retained substantially all of the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset. Where the Company has transferred the rights to receive the cash flows from an asset, or has entered into a contractual arrangement whereby it retains its contractual right to receive the cash flows from the asset, but assumes a contractual obligation to pay cash flows to one or more beneficiaries (pass-through arrangement), it evaluates the extent to which it has retained the risks and rewards of ownership. Equity investments in other entities are measured at fair process. Amortized cost is calculated by including the discount or premium of the acquisition, as well as costs and fees, which are an integral part of the effective interest rate. Amortization at the effective interest rate is gradually recognized to profit or loss over the life of the loan. Financial guarantees issued are contracts that require a payment to reimburse the holder of a debt instrument for a loss incurred by the holder due to default by the debtor on payment at the contractual due date. When the Company issues financial guarantees, the financial guarantee contracts are initially recognized as liabilities at fair value, plus the transaction costs directly attributable to issuing the guarantee. The liability is then measured at the greater of the best estimate of the outlay required to meet the guaranteed obligation at the reporting date and the initially recognized amount, less cumulative amortization. A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation underlying the liability is extinguished, cancelled or discharged. Where one existing financial liability is replaced by another attributable to the same borrower

-

Upon initial recognition, financial liabilities are classified among financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, loans and financing or derivatives designated as hedging instruments. All financial liabilities are initially recognized at fair value, in addition to directly attributable transaction costs in the case of loans, financing and payables. The Company's financial liabilities extend to trade payables and other payables, loans and financing, including account overdrafts, guarantees issued and derivative financial instruments, as well as lease liabilities. Loans and payables (the category of greatest significance for the Company) are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. Gains and losses are recognized in the Statement of Income when the liability is extinguished, as well as through the amortization

with substantially different conditions, or the conditions of an existing liability are substantially modified, such exchange or modification is accounted for by derecognising the original liability and recognising a new liability, with any differences between carrying amounts recognized in the Statement of Income.

Offsetting of financial instruments

A financial asset and a financial liability may be set off against one another, and the net balance presented in the Statement of Financial Position, if there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognized amounts and the entity intends either to settle on a net basis or realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. Loans, payables and other financial and/or trade liabilities with a fixed or determinable maturity are initially recognized at fair value, net of the transaction costs. After initial recognition, these payables are evaluated using the criterion of amortized cost at the effective interest rate. Long-term debts for which an interest rate is not specified are recognized by discounting future cash flows at market rate, if the increase in payables arises from the passage of time, with subsequent recognition of interest through profit or loss in item "Net interest income (expense)".

DERIVATIVES

Derivatives, including embedded derivatives separated from their host contracts, are initially recognized at fair value. Derivatives are classified as hedging instruments when the relationship between the derivative and the object of the hedge is formally documented and the degree of coverage, which is periodically checked, is high. When hedging derivatives hedge the risk of changes in the fair values of the hedged instruments, they are recognized at fair value through profit or loss. Accordingly, the hedged instruments are adjusted to reflect changes in fair value associated with the hedged risk.

When derivatives hedge the risk of changes in the cash flows of the hedged instruments (cash flow hedges),

1. 2. 3. 4. 5.
Corporate Directors' Sustainability Corporate Financial
Highlights Report Statement Governance Statements

the hedges are designated on the basis of the exposure to changes in cash flows attributable to risks that may influence profit or loss at a later date. Such risks are generally associated with a recognized asset or liability (such as future payments of variable-rate debt). The effective portion of the change in the fair value of the part of derivative contracts designated as hedges in accordance with the requirements of IFRS 9 is recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive Income (hedging reserve). That reserve is then released to the profit or loss when the hedged transaction is recognized in the Statement of Income.

The ineffective portion of the change in fair value, along with the entire change in the fair value of derivatives not designated as hedges or that do not meet the requirements presented in IFRS 9, is recognized directly in profit or loss.

The current and non-current classification of active and passive derivative instruments is carried out considering the maturity of the future financial flows of the derivatives.

REVENUE FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS, OTHER REVENUES AND INCOME

Revenue from contracts with customers is recognized in the Statement of Income for an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity claims entitlement in exchange for transferring the control of the goods or services to the customer.

Revenues are recognized net of sales returns, discounts, allowances and taxes that are directly associated with the sale of the product or provision of the service.

Sales of goods and services are recognized at the fair value of the consideration received when the following conditions are met:

  • the control associated with ownership of the good is transferred;
  • the revenue amount can be measured reliably;
  • it is probable that the economic rewards arising from

the sale will flow to the Company;

• the costs incurred or that will be incurred can be measured reliably.

The sale of the brake system is the sole obligation ("at a point in time"), since revenue will be recognized when control of the asset is transferred to the customer, which generally coincides with the moment of delivery. The price, which refers to the sole Performance Obligation identified, resulting from market value and negotiations between the parties. Revenues are recognized net of sales returns, discounts, allowances and taxes that are directly associated with the sale of the product or provision of the service.

The Company supplies equipment sold separately from the brake systems. The equipment sold becomes the full property of the customer and does not have an alternative use, i.e. there are practical limitations — unique design specifications for the customer — that prevent the entity from easily directing the asset to another use in its complete form. There is thus a single performance obligation in the contract whose price coincides with the price of the order and that is satisfied when the customer obtains control of the asset. INTEREST INCOME/(EXPENSE) Interest income/expense is recognized after being measured on an accrual basis. INCOME TAXES

Paragraph 15.B63 identifies the exceptions to the recognition of revenue over time. These exceptions are royalties and sales-based royalties. The exception applies to royalties collected for the licensing of Brembo's trademark and technology. The proceeds are to be accounted for as revenue at a point in time and thus to be taken to the statement of income in full when they are received. The entity only recognizes revenue from salesbased royalties when the subsequent sale occurs, i.e. when the article produced using the trademark or technology to which the royalties refer is then sold, consequently, the revenue is accounted for in accordance with the principle of economic competence.

The Company recognizes revenue for carrying out development activities of specific brake systems requested by its customers. If the services rendered by the Company regard primary product development and Brembo keep the ownership of the development, the related revenue is suspended from Statement of income, and a "Contract liability" is booked, until the development process is completed; then, the revenue is recognized in the Statement of income over the useful life of the product to which the development activity is related (the time horizon is estimated, on average, of five years). On the other hand, if the ownership of the development is sold to the customer, the revenue is recognized when the control (along with the risks/rewards) is transferred to the customer, i.e., upon invoicing to the customer. Current tax assets and liabilities are measured as the amount that is expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and laws used to calculate that amount are those enacted, or substantially enacted, at the reporting date in the country in which the Company operates and generates its taxable income. Management periodically assesses the position assumed in the income tax return, where tax laws are subject to interpretation, and recognizes provisions, where appropriate. Any differences between the calculation of taxes in the financial statements and income tax returns or amounts paid or provisioned for direct income tax disputes are presented under the item "Prior years' taxes and other tax payables". Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized in order to reflect the temporary differences between the value attributed to an asset/liability for tax purposes and that attributed based on the accounting standards applied at the reporting date. They are measured using the tax rates

that are expected to apply in the year when the assets will be realized or the liabilities will be settled, based on tax rates in force or those already enacted or substantially enacted at the reporting date.

Deferred tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences, unused tax credits and unused tax losses eligible to be carried forward, to the extent it is probable that sufficient future taxable income will be available to permit the use of the deductible temporary differences, unused tax credits and unused tax losses carried forward, except for the cases in which:

  • the deferred tax asset related to the deductible temporary differences arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that does not affect accounting or taxable income at the time of the transaction;
  • there are deductible temporary differences related to equity investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures. In this case deferred tax assets are recognized solely to the extent it is probable that they will be reversed in the foreseeable future and there will be sufficient taxable income to permit such temporary differences to be recovered.

The carrying amounts of deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent it is no longer probable that there will be sufficient future taxable income to permit all or part of the credit concerned to be used. Unrecognized deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are recognized to the extent it has become probable that taxable income will be sufficient to permit such deferred tax assets to be recovered.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognized on all taxable temporary differences, with the following exceptions:

  • the deferred tax liabilities arize from the initial recognition of goodwill or an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that does not affect accounting or taxable income at the time of the transaction;
  • reversal of the taxable temporary differences related to

equity investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures may be controlled, and it is probable that it will not occur in the foreseeable future.

Tax balances (current and deferred) attributable to amounts recognized directly in equity are also recognized directly in equity.

Current and deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset only when the legal right of offset exists; such amounts are recognized as receivables or payables in the Statement of Financial Position.

The Company has monitored, and continues to monitor, the implementation of the OECD Pillar II in all countries in which the Group operates. Considering the analyses conducted for 2024, the Company has not identified any potential impacts arising from the Global Minimum Tax.

DIVIDENDS

Dividends are recognized when the shareholders' right to receive payment is established under local law.

The Company recognizes a liability to account for the distribution to its shareholders of cash or non-cash assets once the distribution has been appropriately authorized and is no longer at the Company's discretion. Under current Italian company law, a distribution is authorized when it has been approved by the shareholders. The corresponding amount is recognized directly in equity.

FURTHER INFORMATION

Brembo N.V. is exposed to market, commodity, liquidity and credit risks, all of which are tied to the use of financial instruments.

Financial risk management is the responsibility of the central Treasury Department, which, together with the Finance Department, evaluates the Company's main

Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk refers to variable-rate financial instruments recognized in the Statement of Financial Position (particularly bank loans, other loans, leases, etc.) that are not hedged by financial derivatives. In order to fix the financial burden relating to a part of its debt, Brembo N.V. has entered into fixed-rate financing contracts and interest rate swaps. However, the Company continues to be exposed to interest-rate risk due to the fluctuation of variable rates.

financial transactions and related hedging policies. Market Risk Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market prices resulting from shifts in exchange rates, interest rates and equity security prices. financing denominated in the currency to be hedged, in order to offset any unbalances; currency forward contracts are also used to hedge this risk category. Any net positions in foreign currency are not hedged systematically. In detail, they are hedged if net flows are significant enough to warrant doing so; historical and predicted trends for the exchange rates in question are also assessed.

A sensitivity analysis is provided below to illustrate the effects of a change in interest rates of +/-50 base points compared to the rates at 31 December 2024 and 31 December 2023, with other variables held constant. The potential impacts were calculated on the variablerate financial liabilities at 31 December 2024. The aforementioned change in interest rates would result in a higher (or lower) annual net pre-tax expense of approximately €541 thousand (€682 thousand at 31 December 2023), gross of the tax effect.

The average weekly gross financial debt was used in the calculation.

Exchange Rate Risk

Brembo N.V. deals in international markets with currencies other than the euro and is therefore exposed to exchange rate risk.

To mitigate this risk, Brembo N.V. uses natural hedging (offsetting receivables and payables) and hedges only net positions in foreign currency, using mostly short-term The Company is exposed to the following currencies: €/USD, €/SEK, €/PLN, €/JPY, €/GBP, €/CNY, €/CZK, €/CHF. A sensitivity analysis was performed to illustrate the effects on pre-tax result arising on a positive (negative) change in exchange rates.

Starting with the exposures at 31 December 2024 and 2023, a percentage change calculated as the standard deviation of the exchange rate with respect to the average exchange rate was applied to the average exchange rates for 2024 and 2023 to measure exchange rate volatility.

Commodity Risk

The Company is exposed to changes in prices of main raw materials and commodities. In 2024, no specific hedging financial transactions were undertaken. It bears however recalling that fixed prices are set in supply contracts with certain commodities suppliers for a given period of time and that the contracts in place with the main customers also provide for automatic periodic indexing on the basis of commodities prices; both these approaches thus mitigate the risk of fluctuations in commodities prices.

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk can arise from the inability to obtain the financial resources necessary to guarantee Brembo N.V.'s operation.

To mitigate liquidity risk, the Treasury & Credit function:

  • constantly assesses financial requirements to ensure the appropriate measures are taken in a timely manner (obtaining additional credit lines, capital increases, etc.);
  • obtains adequate credit lines;
  • ensures the appropriate composition of net financial

The approach used to calculate fair value is the present value of the future cash flows expected to derive from the instrument being measured, determined by discounting the scheduled instalments at a rate equal to the forward rate curve applicable to each account payable.

In detail:

  • loans and payables to other lenders with a duration of more than 12 months were measured at fair value determined by applying the forward rates curve to the residual duration of the loan;
  • receivables, trade payables, held-to-maturity financial assets, and payables and receivables to and from banks due within 12 months were measured at their carrying

amounts, inasmuch as this is believed to approximate fair values.

RELATED PARTIES

The Company carries out transactions with parents, subsidiaries, associates, joint ventures, directors and key management personnel. The Parent Brembo N.V. is a subsidiary of Nuova FourB S.r.l., which holds 76.56% of its voting rights.

Sales of products, supply of services and transfers of fixed assets among related parties were carried out at prices reflecting fair market conditions.

The trading volumes reflect the internationalization process aimed at constantly improving both operating and organizational standards and optimising synergies within the Company.

From a financial standpoint, the subsidiaries operate independently, although some benefit from various forms of centralized financing.

Since 2008, a zero-balance cash-pooling system has been effective, with Brembo N.V. as the pool leader and the participation of 13 companies. Cash pooling zero

balance structures allow Brembo group to optimize net working capital management (i.e. management of short term financial needs or excess liquidity). Operatingly, cash pooling mechanism consists in concentrating the available cash on a single legal entity (the pooler Brembo N.V.), which will subsequently allocate any surplus to the companies which have a financial need, with a consequent reduction of total financial costs.

Development costs

Item "Development costs" includes costs for development, internal and external, for an initial amount of €289,765 thousand.

Impairment losses totalled €2,528 thousand and are recognized in the Statement of Income under

"Amortization, depreciation and impairment losses." Impairment losses refer to development costs incurred in relation to projects that, consistent with the desire of the customer or Brembo N.V., were not completed or underwent changes in terms of their end destination.

Other intangible assets

Item "Industrial patents and similar rights" rose by €1,668 thousand, due to the acquisition of new patents, the application for the filing of new patents or the filing of existing patents in other countries, in addition to the acquisition of rights.

The shareholding in Brembo do Brazil Ltda., which was reduced in 2015 and 2016 for a total amount of €27,427 thousand following an impairment loss, has been partially write-up for €9,644 thousand during the reporting year. The Company has progressively grown over the years, covering all the past losses accumulated in the equity. The

net value of the investment has thus been adjusted to the net equity of the subsidiary as of 31 December.

In the reporting year, impairment indicators were identified with reference to the subsidiaries SBS Friction A/S, Brembo Czech S.r.o. and J.Juan S.A.U.

impairment would be impaired, whereas a change in the WACC from 8.91% to 9.91% would require a write-down of the equity investment in Brembo Czech S.r.o. for €11,342 thousand.

Future cash flows used for the calculation are based on management's most recent operating and financial plans. In particular, in defining the future cash flows reference was made to the 2025 Budget and the 2026-2028 Industrial Plan approved by Brembo N.V.'s Board of Directors in January 2025 and July 2024, respectively. The main assumptions that determined the test outcome were a WACC rate of 8.91% (9.79% in 2023) and growth rate (g-rate) used in determining terminal value of 1.5% (1.5% in 2023). Item "Investments in other companies measured at fair value" refers to 10,33% interest held in E-Novia S.p.A. amounting to €914 thousand. The change in value compared to 31 December 2023 was mainly due to the sale of the entire stake of ordinary shares of Pirelli & C. S.p.A. Brembo placed 55,800,000 Pirelli ordinary shares to institutional investors, equal to approximately 5.58% of the Company's issued share capital, at a price of € 5.07 per share for € 282,906 thousands booked at fair value through other comprehensive income.

4. INVESTMENTS IN OTHER COMPANIES, DERIVATIVES AND OTHER NON-CURRENT FINANCIAL ASSETS

The previously mentioned impairment tests did not indicate the need to recognize any impairment loss in the reporting year. In the event of a change in the growth rate from 1.5% to 1% or a decline in sales volumes/margins of 5%-10%, no equity investments that had not been previously subject to The change in item "Investments in other companies measured at cost" referred mainly to the acquisition for €996 thousand of a 2.11% interest in Spoke Safety Inc, a company focussed on the road safety and rider connectivity by delivering the first connected IoT ecosystem for the vulnerable road users. In the reporting year, €45 thousand was allocated to the 360 Polimi fund.

Item "Derivatives" refers for €4,565 thousand to the non-current portion of the fair value of two IRSs entered into directly by the Company, for a remaining notional amount of €50 million and €175 million, respectively, at

31 December 2024, hedging the change in interest rate risk associated with a specific outstanding loan. These IRSs fall within the requirements set forth in the accounting standards relating to hedge accounting (cash flow hedge). The change in fair value compared to 31 December 2023, attributable to the interest rate curve and the lower duration of contracts, was recognized as a component of comprehensive income, net of the tax effect, given that the hedge is fully effective.

5. RECEIVABLES AND OTHER NON-CURRENT ASSETS

This item is broken down as follows:

Deferred tax assets and liabilities were generated mainly due to temporary differences on accelerated amortization and depreciation, capital gains with deferred taxation, other expense and income items subject to future tax deductions or taxation, and to other differences due to application of international accounting standards. "Other movements" include changes in deferred tax liabilities on items that have an impact on equity and are therefore transferred to the statement of other comprehensive income, mainly due to hedging derivatives, the measurement at fair value of the equity investment in Pirelli and E-Novia and the recognition pursuant to IAS 19 (OIC) relating to the discounting of the employees' leaving indemnity.

The nature of temporary differences that generated deferred tax assets and liabilities is detailed below:

In 2024, the actual tax rate was 18.3% (18.9% in 2023).

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

To the shareholders and Board of Directors of Brembo N.V.

Report on the audit of the financial statements 2024 included in the annual report

Our opinion

We have audited the financial statements for 2024 of Brembo N.V. based in Amsterdam.

In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial position of Brembo N.V. as at 31 December 2024, and of its result and its cash flows for 2024 in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union (EU-IFRS) and with Part 9 of Book 2 of the Dutch Civil Code.

The financial statements comprise:

    1. The consolidated and company statement of financial position as at 31 December 2024.
    1. The following statements for 2024: The consolidated and company income statement, the consolidated and company statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows.
    1. The notes comprising material accounting policy information and other explanatory information.

Basis for our opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with Dutch law, including the Dutch Standards on Auditing. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the 'Our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements' section of our report.

We are independent of Brembo N.V. in accordance with the EU Regulation on specific requirements regarding statutory audit of public-interest entities, the Wet toezicht accountantsorganisaties (Wta, Audit firms supervision act), the Verordening inzake de onafhankelijkheid van accountants bij assurance-opdrachten (ViO, Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants, a regulation with respect to independence) and other relevant independence regulations in the Netherlands. Furthermore, we have complied with the Verordening gedrags- en beroepsregels accountants (VGBA, Dutch Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants).

We believe the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Information in support of our opinion

We designed our audit procedures in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole and in forming our opinion thereon. The following information in support of our opinion was addressed in this context, and we do not provide a separate opinion or conclusion on these matters.

Materiality

Based on our professional judgment we determined the materiality for the financial statements as a whole at EUR 26.100.000. The materiality is based Profit before tax from continuing operations. We have also taken into account misstatements and/or possible misstatements that in our opinion are material for the users of the financial statements for qualitative reasons.

Audits of the group entities (components) were performed using materiality levels determined by the judgment of the group audit team, taking into account the materiality of the financial statements as a whole and the reporting

structure within the group.

We agreed with the Board of Directors that misstatements in excess of EUR 1.305.000, which are identified during the audit, would be reported to them, as well as smaller misstatements that in our view must be reported on qualitative grounds.

Scope of the group audit

Brembo N.V. is at the head of a group of entities. The financial information of this group is included in the consolidated financial statements of Brembo N.V.

Based on our risk assessment, we determined the nature, timing and extent of audit procedures to be performed, including determining the components at which to perform audit procedures.

Because we are ultimately responsible for our opinion, we are also responsible for directing, supervising and performing the group audit. In this respect we have determined the nature and extent of the audit procedures to be carried out on the entities. Our group audit is mainly focused on financially large entities in terms of size and financial interest or where significant risks or complex activities were present.

Where the work was performed by component auditors, we determined the level of involvement we needed to have in the audit work at those components to be able to conclude whether sufficient appropriate audit evidence was obtained as a basis for our opinion on the group financial statements as a whole. The group audit team provided detailed instructions to the component auditors, reviewed the component audit team deliverables and if considered necessary, directed the planning, visited the components, and reviewed the audit files.

By performing the procedures mentioned above at group entities, together with additional procedures at group level, we have been able to obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence about the group's financial information to provide an opinion on the financial statements.

Audit approach fraud risks

In accordance with Dutch Standards on Auditing, we are responsible for obtaining reasonable assurance that the financial statements taken as a whole are free from material misstatements, whether due to fraud or error. Inherent to our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements, there is an unavoidable risk that material misstatements go undetected, even though the audit is planned and performed in accordance with Dutch law. The risk of undetected material misstatements due to fraud is even higher, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Also, we are not responsible for the prevention and detection of fraud and non-compliance with all laws and regulations. Our audit procedures differ from a forensic or legal investigation, which often has a more in-dept character.

We identified and assessed the risks of material misstatements of the financial statements due to fraud. During our audit we obtained an understanding of the entity and its environment and the components of the system of internal control, including the risk assessment process and management's process for responding to the risks of fraud and monitoring the system of internal control and how the Board exercises oversight, as well as the outcomes. We refer to section 4.4.2 Risk factors an mitigation strategies of the "Corporate Governance Report" for management's risk assessment.

We evaluated the design and relevant aspects of the system of internal control and in particular the fraud risk assessment, as well as among others the code of conduct, whistle blower procedures and incident registration. We evaluated the design and the implementation and, where considered appropriate, tested the operating effectiveness, of internal controls designed to mitigate fraud risks.

As part of our process of identifying fraud risks, we evaluated fraud risk factors with respect to financial reporting fraud, misappropriation of assets and bribery and corruption in close co-operation with our forensic specialists.

We evaluated whether these factors indicate that a risk of material misstatement due fraud is present.

We identified the following fraud risks:

    1. Management override of controls
    1. Revenue recognition

Below we have summarized our related procedures.

Management override of controls

We have identified the inherent risk that management is in a unique position to perpetrate fraud because of management's ability to manipulate accounting records by overriding controls and more specifically:

  • journal entries and other manual adjustments made during the preparation of the Financial statements;
  • the use of estimates including high level of judgement and assumptions subject to management bias; and
  • significant transactions outside the normal course of business for the group.

During our audit, we have:

  • a. evaluated the design and implementation of the relevant internal controls mitigating the risk of management override of controls in combination with the underlying general information technology controls and application controls; and
  • b. performed journal entry testing audit procedures, using selected criteria of investigation.

Based on our audit procedures performed, we did not identify instances or suspicions of fraud due to management override of controls.

Revenue Recognition

As revenue recognition is a presumed fraud risk under ISA 240, we assessed whether incentives, opportunities, attitudes, and capabilities exist that could lead to fraudulent revenue recognition.

Risk Factors Identified

  • The Company has annual (MBO) and multi-year (LTIP) incentive plans that may create pressure to manipulate revenue to meet performance targets. However, mitigating factors, including balanced weighting of financial and non-financial metrics and a clawback clause, reduce this risk.
  • The presence of complex revenue streams and management's ability to influence revenue-related assumptions may provide opportunities for manipulation. However, historical compliance with financial covenants and a stable financial position reduce the likelihood of fraudulent revenue recognition.
  • While management has the ability to influence revenue recognition, the presence of internal controls, external oversight, and past compliance with financial covenants mitigates this risk.

Vision and Mission

Audit Procedures Performed

To address the risk of fraudulent revenue recognition, we have:

  • a. Assessed the design and implementation of key internal controls related to revenue recognition, including authorization, recording, and reconciliation processes.
  • b. Tested journal entries related to revenue transactions, focusing on unusual or post-closing adjustments.
  • c. Performed substantive analytical procedures, including trend analysis and cut-off testing, to identify any anomalies.
  • d. Reviewed contract terms and revenue recognition policies to ensure compliance with applicable accounting standards.
  • e. Assessed whether revenue recorded was supported by valid underlying transactions, including customer receipts and shipping documentation.

Based on the audit procedures performed, we did not identify instances or suspicions of fraudulent revenue recognition.

Additionally, we performed further procedures including, among others, the following:

  • We incorporated elements of unpredictability in our audit. We also considered the outcome of our other audit procedures and evaluated whether any findings were indicative of fraud or noncompliance.
  • We considered available information and made enquiries of relevant executives, directors (including Legal Counsel, Internal Audit, the Compliance Department and Financial Reporting and Accounting) and those charged with governance. We have obtained written representations that all known instance of (suspected) fraud and other irregularities have been disclosed to us.
  • We tested the appropriateness of journal entries recorded in the general ledger and other adjustments made in the preparation of the financial statements.
  • We evaluated whether the selection and application of accounting policies by the entity, particularly those related to subjective measurements and complex transactions, may be indicative of fraudulent financial reporting.
  • We evaluated whether the judgments and decisions made by management in making the accounting estimates included in the financial statements indicate a possible bias that may represent a risk of material misstatement due to fraud.
  • We performed a retrospective review of management judgments and assumptions related to significant accounting estimates reflected in prior year financial statements.
  • For significant transactions such as acquisitions we evaluated whether the business rationale of the transactions suggests that they may have been entered into to engage in fraudulent financial reporting or to conceal misappropriation of assets.

This did not lead to indications for fraud potentially resulting in material misstatements.

Audit approach compliance with laws and regulations

We assessed the laws and regulations relevant to the entity through discussion with amongst others, management, the Legal Counsel and those charged with governance and by, reading minutes and reports of internal audit.

As a result of our risk assessment procedures, and while realizing that the effects from non-compliance could considerably vary, we considered the following laws and regulations: (Corporate) tax law, the requirements under the International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union (EU-IFRS) and Part 9 of Book 2 of the Dutch Civil Code with a direct effect on the financial statements as an integrated part of our audit procedures, to the extent material for the financial statements.

We obtained sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding provisions of those laws and regulations generally recognized to have a direct effect on the financial statements.

Apart from these, Brembo N.V. is subject to other laws and regulations where the consequences of noncompliance could have a material effect on amounts and/or disclosures in the financial statements, for instance, through imposing fines or litigation.

Given the nature of Brembo N.V.'s business and the complexity of these other laws and regulations, there is a risk of non-compliance with the requirements of such laws and regulations.

Our procedures are more limited with respect to these laws and regulations that do not have a direct effect on the determination of the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Compliance with these laws and regulations may be fundamental to the operating aspects of the business, to Brembo N.V.'s ability to continue its business, or to avoid material penalties (e.g. compliance with the terms of operating licenses and permits or compliance with environmental regulations) and therefore non-compliance with such laws and regulations may have a material effect on the financial statements. Our responsibility is limited to undertaking specified audit procedures to help identify non-compliance with those laws and regulations that may have a material effect on the financial statements. Our procedures are limited to (i) inquiry of Board of Directors, the Legal Counsel and others within Brembo N.V. as to whether Brembo N.V. is in compliance with such laws and regulations and (ii) inspecting correspondence, if any, with the relevant licensing or regulatory authorities to help identify non-compliance with those laws and regulations that may have a material effect on the financial statements.

Naturally, we remained alert to indications of (suspected) non-compliance throughout the audit.

Finally, we obtained written representations that all known instances of (suspected) fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations have been disclosed to us.

Audit approach going concern

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the going concern assumption. The appropriateness of the going concern assumption depends on management's assessment of the expected company performance within its future economic environment. The Board of Directors believes that no events or conditions, give rise to doubt the ability of the group to continue in operation during at least twelve months after the adoption of the financial statements.

We have obtained management's assessment of the entity's ability to continue as a going concern and have assessed the going concern assumption applied. As part of our procedures, we evaluated whether sufficient appropriate audit evidence has been obtained regarding, and have concluded on, the appropriateness of

6

management's use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements. Based on these procedures, we did not identify any reportable findings related to the entity's ability to continue as going concern.

Key audit matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements. We have communicated the key audit matters to the Board of Directors. The key audit matters are not a comprehensive reflection of all matters discussed.

These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Impairment testing

Description

Brembo N.V.'s consolidated financial statements show property, plant, machinery and other equipment amounting to Euro 1.542 million, right of use assets amounting to Euro 233 million, development costs amounting to Euro 109 million, goodwill and other intangible assets with a in indefinite life amounting to Euro 123 million and other intangible assets equal to Euro 79 million.

The Group conducts an impairment test annually on goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives and whenever there are any impairment indicators; for the Cash Generating Units ("CGUs") that do not have goodwill or intangible assets with indefinite useful lives allocated, the impairment test is conducted on Property, plant, machinery and other equipment, Right of use assets, Development costs and Other intangible assets if there is an impairment indicator.

During the year ending on December 31, 2024, only Brembo Czech S.r.o.o. showed impairment indicators and the impairment test on its Property, plant, machinery and other equipment, Right of use assets, Development costs and Other intangible assets carrying amount was performed.

The methodology adopted by the Group to ensure that all the assets under the scope of the International Accounting Standard no. 36 "Impairment of assets" are not booked in the financial statements at more than the recoverable amount are complex and based on assumptions. The processes and methods to evaluate and determine the recoverable amount of each CGU, in terms of value in use, are based on assumptions that, due to their nature, imply the use of management's judgement, in particular with reference to the future cash flows forecast in the period of the Group budget and business plan, to the determination of the normalized cash flows and long term growth rate (the so called g-rate) used to estimate terminal value and, finally, the discount rate.

Considering the level of judgment and the complexity of the assumptions applied in estimating the recoverable amount of the above-mentioned fixed assets, and the presence of impairment indicators for Brembo Czech S.r.o.o., we consider this area to be a key audit matter.

The disclosure related to the recoverability valuation of the above-mentioned assets is given in Note 2 - Impairment test paragraph and in the sections "Discretionary valuations and significant accounting estimates" , "Impairment of non-financial assets".

7

How the key audit matter was addressed in the audit

We have preliminarily analyzed the methods used by Management to determine the value in use of the CGU, focusing on the methods and assumptions adopted to develop the impairment test.

Our audit procedures in response to this key audit matter included, among others, also involving our experts:

  • Understanding of the relevant controls that the Group has in place with reference to the impairment test process;
  • Reasonability analysis of the main assumptions adopted to estimate the future cash flows forecast, also through sector analysis and the information obtained by Management;
  • Comparison of the actual data and the estimated ones, in order to evaluate the deviations nature and the reliability of the budgeting and planning process;
  • Reasonableness analysis of the discount rate (WACC) and of the long-term growth rate (g-rate);
  • Analysis of the mathematical accuracy of the model used to determine the CGU value in use;
  • Analysis of the correct determination of the CGU carrying amount;
  • Check of the sensitivity analysis carried out by Management.

Finally, we reviewed the adequacy and the compliance of the disclosure given by the Company on the impairment test to what provided by IAS 36.

Our observation

The scope and nature of the procedures performed were appropriate and sufficient to address the key audit matter. Our procedures did not result in any reportable matters.

Report on the other information included in the annual report

The annual report contains other information, in addition to the financial statements and our auditor's report

thereon.

The other information consists of:

  • Report of the Board of Directors.
  • Corporate Governance Report.
  • Remuneration Report.

• Other information as required by Part 9 of Book 2 of the Dutch Civil Code.

Based on the following procedures performed, we conclude that the other information:

• Is consistent with the financial statements and does not contain material misstatements. • Contains all the information regarding the management report and the other information as required by

  • Part 9 of Book 2 of the Dutch Civil Code.

We have read the other information. Based on our knowledge and understanding obtained through our audit of the financial statements or otherwise, we have considered whether the other information contains material misstatements.

By performing these procedures, we comply with the requirements of Part 9 of Book 2 of the Dutch Civil Code and the Dutch Standard 720. The scope of the procedures performed is substantially less than the scope of those performed in our audit of the financial statements.

The Board is responsible for the preparation of the other information, including the Report of the Board of Directors in accordance with Part 9 of Book 2 of the Dutch Civil Code, and the other information as required by Part 9 of Book 2 of the Dutch Civil Code.

Report on other legal and regulatory requirements and ESEF

Engagement

We were engaged by the Shareholder as auditor of Brembo N.V. on 23 April 2024 as of the audit for year 31 December 2024 and have operated as statutory auditor ever since that financial year.

No prohibited non-audit services

We have not provided prohibited non-audit services as referred to in Article 5(1) of the EU Regulation on specific requirements regarding statutory audit of public-interest entities.

European Single Electronic Format (ESEF)

Brembo N.V. has prepared its annual report in ESEF. The requirements for this are set out in the Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/815 with regard to regulatory technical standards on the specification of a single electronic reporting format (hereinafter: the RTS on ESEF).

In our opinion, the annual report, prepared in XHTML format, including the (partly) marked-up consolidated financial statements, as included in the reporting package of Brembo N.V. complies in all material respects with the RTS on ESEF.

Management is responsible for preparing the annual report including the financial statements in accordance with the RTS on ESEF, whereby management combines the various components into one single reporting package.

Our responsibility is to obtain reasonable assurance for our opinion whether the annual report in this reporting package complies with the RTS on ESEF.

We performed our examination in accordance with Dutch law, including Dutch Standard 3950N 'Assuranceopdrachten inzake het voldoen aan de criteria voor het opstellen van een digitaal verantwoordingsdocument' (assurance engagements relating to compliance with criteria for digital reporting).

Our examination included amongst others:

  • Obtaining an understanding of entity's financial reporting process, including the preparation of the reporting package.
  • Identifying and assessing the risks that the annual report does not comply in all material respects with the RTS on ESEF and designing and performing further assurance procedures responsive to those risks to provide a basis for our opinion, including:
    • o obtaining the reporting package and performing validations to determine whether the reporting package containing the Inline XBRL instance and the XBRL extension taxonomy files has been prepared in accordance with the technical specifications as included in the RTS on ESEF;
    • o examining the information related to the consolidated financial statements in the reporting package to determine whether all required mark-ups have been applied and whether these are in accordance with the RTS on ESEF.

Description of responsibilities regarding the financial statements

Responsibilities of the Board for the financial statements

The Board is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with EU-IFRS and Part 9 of Book 2 of the Dutch Civil Code and for the preparation of the report of the Board of Directors in accordance with Part 9 of Book 2 of the Dutch Civil Code. Furthermore, the Board is responsible for such internal control as the Board determines is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

As part of the preparation of the financial statements, the Board is responsible for assessing the company's ability to continue as a going concern. Based on the financial reporting frameworks mentioned, the Board should prepare the financial statements using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Board either intends to liquidate the company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

The Board should disclose events and circumstances that may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern in the financial statements.

Our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

Our objective is to plan and perform the audit assignment in a manner that allows us to obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence for our opinion.

Our audit has been performed with a high, but not absolute, level of assurance, which means we may not detect all material errors and fraud during our audit.

Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. The materiality affects the nature, timing and extent of our audit procedures and the evaluation of the effect of identified misstatements on our opinion.

We have exercised professional judgement and have maintained professional scepticism throughout the audit, in accordance with Dutch Standards on Auditing, ethical requirements and independence requirements. Our audit included among others:

  • Identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, designing and performing audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtaining audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
  • Obtaining an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company's internal control.
  • Evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the Board.
  • Concluding on the appropriateness of the Board's use of the going concern basis of accounting, and based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the company to cease to continue as a going concern.
  • Evaluating the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures.
  • Evaluating whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

We are responsible for planning and performing the group audit to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business units within the group as a basis for forming an opinion on the financial statements. We are also responsible for the direction, supervision and review of the audit work performed for purposes of the group audit. We bear the full responsibility for the auditor's report.

We communicate with the Board of Directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant findings in internal control that we identified during our audit. In this respect we also submit an additional report to the Audit Committee in accordance with

Article 11 of the EU Regulation on specific requirements regarding statutory audit of public-interest entities. The information included in this additional report is consistent with our audit opinion in this auditor's report.

We provide the Board of Directors with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with the Board of Directors, we determine the key audit matters: Those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements. We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, not communicating the matter is in the public interest.

We are independent of Brembo N.V in accordance with the 'Verordening inzake de onafhankelijkheid van accountants bij assurance-opdrachten' (ViO, Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants, a regulation with respect to independence) and other relevant independence regulations in the Netherlands. Furthermore, we have complied with the 'Verordening gedrags- en beroepsregels accountants' (VGBA, Dutch Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants).

The ViO and VGBA are at least as demanding as the International code of ethics for professional accountants (including International independence standards) of the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants (the IESBA Code).

We believe that the assurance evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our conclusion.

Emphasis of matter

Emphasis on the most significant uncertainties affecting the quantitative metrics

We draw attention to section "Disclosures in relation to specific circumstances" of the sustainability statements that identifies the quantitative metrics that are subject to a high level of measurement uncertainty refer to the relevant sections within the disclosure where information about the sources of measurement uncertainty and the assumptions, approximations and judgements the company has made in measuring these in compliance with the ESRS.

The comparability of sustainability information between entities and over time may be affected by the lack of historical sustainability information in accordance with the ESRS and by the absence of a uniform practice on which to draw, to evaluate and measure this information. This allows for the application of different, but acceptable, measurement techniques, especially in the initial years.

Emphasis on the double materiality assessment process

We draw attention to section "IRO-1 Description of the process to identify and assess material impacts, risks and opportunities" of the sustainability statement. This disclosure explains future improvements in the ongoing due diligence process and that Brembo considers double materiality assessment as an ongoing process. Due diligence is an on-going practice that responds to and may trigger changes in the company's strategy, business model, activities, business relationships, operating, sourcing and selling contexts. The double materiality assessment process may also be impacted in time by sector-specific standards to be adopted or developments in stakeholder expectations, regulatory developments, changes in risk management or new business developments. The sustainability statement may not include every impact, risk and opportunity or additional entity-specific disclosure that each individual stakeholder (group) may consider important in its own particular assessment.

Our conclusion is not modified in respect of these matters.

Comparative information not subject to assurance procedures

No reasonable or limited assurance procedures have been performed on the sustainability statement of prior year. Consequently, any comparative information in the sustainability statement and there to related disclosures for the year ended 31 December 2024. have not been subject to reasonable or limited assurance procedures.

Our conclusion is not modified in respect of this matter.

Limitations to the scope of our assurance engagement

In reporting forward-looking information in accordance with the ESRS, the Board of Directors of the company is required to prepare the forward-looking information on the basis of disclosed assumptions about events that may occur in the future and possible future actions by the company. The actual outcome is likely to be different since anticipated events frequently do not occur as expected. Forward-looking information relates to events and actions that have not yet occurred and may never occur. We do not provide assurance on the achievability of this forwardlooking information.

Our conclusion is not modified in respect of this matter.

Responsibilities of the Board of Directors for the sustainability statement

The Board of Directors are responsible for the preparation of the sustainability statement in accordance with the ESRS, including the double materiality assessment process carried out by the company as the basis for the sustainability statement and disclosure of material impacts, risks and opportunities in accordance with the ESRS. As part of the preparation of the sustainability statement, the Board of Directors are responsible for compliance with the reporting requirements provided for in Article 8 of Regulation (EU) 2020/852 (Taxonomy Regulation).

Furthermore, the Board of Directors are responsible for such internal control as it determines is necessary to enable the preparation of the sustainability statement that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

The Audit Committee responsible for overseeing the sustainability reporting process and approves the double materiality assessment process carried out by the company.

Our responsibilities for the limited assurance engagement on the sustainability statement

Our responsibility is to plan and perform the limited assurance engagement in a manner that allows us to obtain sufficient appropriate assurance evidence for our conclusion.

Our assurance engagement is aimed to obtain a limited level of assurance that the sustainability statement is free from material misstatements. The procedures vary in nature and timing from, and are less in extent than for a reasonable assurance engagement. Consequently, the level of assurance obtained in a limited assurance engagement is substantially lower than the assurance that would have been obtained had a reasonable assurance engagement been performed.

We apply the applicable quality management requirements pursuant to the 'Nadere voorschriften kwaliteitsmanagement' (NV KM, regulations for quality management) and the International Standard on Quality Management (ISQM) 1 and accordingly maintain a comprehensive system of quality management including documented policies and procedures regarding compliance with ethical requirements, professional standards and other relevant legal and regulatory requirements.

Our limited assurance engagement included among others:

  • Performing inquiries and an analysis of the external environment and obtaining an understanding of relevant sustainability themes and issues, the characteristics of the company, its activities and the value chain and its key intangible resources in order to assess the double materiality assessment process carried out by the company as the basis for the sustainability statement and disclosure of all material sustainability-related impacts, risks and opportunities in accordance with the ESRS.
  • Obtaining through inquiries a general understanding of the internal control environment, the company's processes for gathering and reporting entity-related and value chain information, the information systems and the company's risk assessment process relevant to the preparation of the sustainability statement and for identifying the company's activities, determining eligible and aligned economic activities and prepare the disclosures provided for in Article 8 of Regulation (EU) 2020/852 (Taxonomy Regulation), without obtaining assurance information about the implementation, or testing the operating effectiveness, of controls.
  • Assessing the double materiality assessment process carried out by the company and identifying and assessing areas of the sustainability statement, including the disclosures provided for in Article 8 of Regulation (EU) 2020/852 (Taxonomy Regulation) where misleading or unbalanced information or material misstatements,

whether due to fraud or error, are likely to arise ('selected disclosures'). We designed and performed further assurance procedures aimed at assessing that the sustainability statement is free from material misstatements responsive to this risk analysis.

  • Considering whether the description of the double materiality assessment process in the sustainability statement made by the Board of Directors appears consistent with the process carried out by the company.
  • Performing analytical review procedures on quantitative information in the sustainability statement, including consideration of data and trends in the information submitted for consolidation at corporate level.
  • Assessing whether the company's methods for developing estimates are appropriate and have been consistently applied for selected disclosures. We considered data and trends; however, our procedures did not include testing the data on which the estimates are based or separately developing our own estimates against which to evaluate the Board of Director's estimates.
  • Analysing, on a limited sample basis, relevant internal and external documentation available to the company (including publicly available information or information from actors throughout its value chain) for selected disclosures.
  • Reading the other information in the annual report to identify material inconsistencies, if any, with the sustainability statement.
