Brunello Cucinelli

Brunello Cucinelli, Executive Chairman and Creative Director of Casa di Moda, commented:

"A year has ended that we are pleased to describe as solid, balanced and beautiful, marked by excellent results in terms of revenues, profits and international recognition. These achievements allow us to look ahead with confidence to a future of outstanding prospects, growth in the years to come, positive forecasts and enduring prosperity. Markets across all geographies appear to be expanding in a healthy and harmonious manner, where each fashion brand expresses its own heritage, identity and positioning.

We are receiving extremely positive feedback regarding the Callimacus platform, developed by Solomei AI, our new e-commerce conceived to offer visitors an AI-driven digital experience through which they may discover the brand's collections in a manner consistent with the values that have always inspired us. At the heart of Callimacus lies a new concept of website - without pages and endowed with its own intelligence - a system capable of understanding and following each user's preferences, delivering a personalised, dynamic, pleasant and engaging experience in real time. Visitors are spending more time on the new e-commerce platform than in the past, finding the experience both stimulating and enjoyable.

In this first part of the year, sales continue to perform extremely well across all markets. The excellent order intake currently underway for the Fall-Winter 2026 Men's and Women's collections, together with the positive feedback from buyers, the international press, and our teams in our boutiques, leads us to envisage with confidence - for this year, too - a balanced and solid revenue growth of around 10%, accompanied by the achievement of a healthy profit.

Europe remained a key destination for highspending international clients, sustaining overall performance

Trade net working capital amounted to €322.9 million, with an impact on turnover of 22.9%, compared to €282.8 million as at 31 December 2024 (relative impact of 22.1%).

* The change is mainly attributable to the fair value measurement of derivative financial instruments used to hedge foreign exchange risk, as well as to changes in the balances of tax receivables and tax payables.

Net Working Capital

€ mln

INVENTORY

Inventory stood at 28.3%* of revenues (vs. 28.9% at year-end 2024), below the 2012–2024 historical average of 30.9%, confirming a healthy and balanced level, appropriate to the breadth and depth of the offering and consistent with the significant expansion of the Retail channel (from 27.5% of sales in 2012 to 67.3% as of 31 December 2025)

* Comparison with peers in terms of inventory can be influenced by different cost aggregation criteria. Our Group draws up the income statement according to a classification by nature, which does not include the exposure of Cost of Goods Sold, but of Costs for production (including raw materials and consumables, and external processing).

On the other hand, many operators adopt a classification by destination and determine the Cost of Goods Sold by also including internal production, creative development and prototyping costs, which our Group accounts for by nature in other items, which affect costs for both personnel and services (energy, maintenance, safety, depreciation and amortisation, etc. for the functioning of internal factories intended for production).

The result is a different configuration of the margins: Revenues minus Costs for production, equal to First Margin in our scheme, compared to Revenues minus Cost of Goods Sold, equal to the Gross Margin adopted by other peers. If the latter criterion were applied, the Gross Margin would be significantly lower than the First Margin of 75.2% we recorded as at 31 December 2025.

The calculation of inventory days using Costs of production rather than Cost of Goods Sold therefore results in an incorrect over-estimate; in comparison with the sector, it is therefore more appropriate to refer to the incidence of inventory on turnover.

TRADE RECEIVABLES

The increase mainly reflects wholesale performance, with receivables broadly in line with €103.6 million as at 30 June 2025.; the €8.1 million provision related to Saks Global's Chapter 11 does not affect the Group's sound credit profile, with credit losses at just 0.09% of revenues

TRADE PAYABLES

The increase in trade payables reflects the growth of the business

{31}------------------------------------------------

Investments

  • ➢ In 2025, the Group completed six months ahead of schedule the 2024–2026 three-year plan dedicated to the development of Made in Italy artisanal production
  • ➢ Investments reached an exceptional 10.4% of revenues, aimed at preparing the production structure for the next 10–15 years, including the substantial doubling of the Solomeo production site and the completion of the outerwear factories in Penne and Gubbio
  • ➢ Significant commercial investments were also carried out, including selected boutique openings, major flagship relocations and expansions, showroom refurbishments, and the opening of the new Casa Cucinelli locations in Rome and Los Angeles

{32}------------------------------------------------

Investments and Financial Indebtedness

€ mln

➢ The significant investment plan, together with €68.8 million in dividends paid (50% pay-out), led to a Characteristic Financial Indebtedness of €198.4 million as of 31 December 2025* - with an incidence on sales of 14.1% - compared with €103.6 million at year-end 2024

* Including IFRS 16 amounted to €984.4 million as of 31 dec. '25, compared to the €781.5 million as of 31 dec. '24

{33}------------------------------------------------

Outlook

The year 2025 was one of strong continuity: positive results were achieved in all quarters and the sales trend remained consistently solid and well distributed across all geographical areas and distribution channels. This pathway made it possible to end the year with particularly significant results, higher than the expectations set out at the beginning of the year.

Turnover reached €1,408.0 million, with growth at fixed exchange rates of +11.5% and an increase at current exchange rates of +10.1%, with a normalised EBIT of €235.9 million, with a margin of 16.8%, an increase of +20 basis points compared to 16.6% in the previous year.

In the two-year period 2024-2025, the Group also completed an important investment programme, bringing forward by six months the completion of the major three-year plan 2024-2025-2026 dedicated to Made in Italy artisanship: investment that significantly strengthened the Group's production and organisational structure.

The start of 2026 confirms the strength of our sustainable growth path. Sales in this early part of the year have been very positive and are in line with expectations for growth over the full year.

{34}------------------------------------------------

Outlook

The sell-out of the Spring-Summer 2026 collections is proving particularly interesting, in line with the feedback collected during the launches last September, driving impressive growth in the Retail channel, in line with the already very positive trend of the last part of 2025

At the same time, the order intake for the new Autumn/Winter 2026 collections has been strong, supported by very positive feedback from the specialised press, both for the menswear collection, presented in January in Florence during Pitti Immagine and subsequently in Milan, and for the women's pre-collection, ahead of the presentation of the full women's collection during the February Fashion Week in Milan.

The results achieved in the early part of the first quarter, together with the plan for selected boutique openings and expansions scheduled over the course of the year, further strengthen the visibility on the Group's growth prospects for the full year 2026.

As at 31 December 2025, the distribution network has 136 direct boutiques, a size that enables us to sustain the development pathway by combining solid growth on a like-for-like basis with the gradual and constant contribution of carefully selected new spaces, while preserving positioning in the highest end of the market.

In this context, the expected growth dynamics are consistent with the Group's size and with the approach – pursued over time – of carefully governing the evolution of the scope of distribution.

On this basis, the Group confirms its vision of balanced growth in turnover at fixed exchange rates of approximately 10% for the year 2026, in line with a long-term sustainable development plan, with healthy and balanced profits.

This presentation may contain forward looking statements which reflect Management's current views and estimates.

The forward looking statements involve certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the forward looking statements.

Potential risks and uncertainties include such factors as general economic conditions, foreign exchange fluctuations, competitive product and pricing pressures and regulatory developments.

Figures as absolute values and in percentages are calculated using precise financial data. Some of the differences found in this presentation are due to rounding of the values expressed in millions of Euro.
