Reggio Emilia, 05 November 2025 - The Board of Directors of Cellularline S.p.A. (hereinafter "Cellularline" or the "Company"), a European leader in the sector of accessories for smartphones and tablets listed on the STAR Milan Euronext Market organised and managed by Borsa Italiana S.p.A., today examined and approved the Consolidated Interim Financial Report as at 30 September 2025.

Marco Cagnetta, Director and General Manager Sales and Marketing of the Cellularline Group, commented: "In the third quarter of 2025, the unfavourable trend in revenues on international markets continued, both as a result of the economic situation and due to certain specific localised commercial situations. As a partial compensation, the trend of maintaining revenue levels in the domestic market continued, also as a result of concrete actions taken by the Group.

In this challenging market environment, we have maintained a good balance between profitability and financial strength, confirming the resilience of our business model, supported by efficient management and continued focus on cost optimization and commercial levers.

We continue to invest in the Group's positioning both through business development projects with selected trade partners and by accelerating the pace of technological innovation across our core product ranges, particularly recharging and audio, as well as the latest categories of wearable accessories. The ongoing reduction in debt and the solid capital structure allow us to look confidently toward the medium term, remaining focused on generating sustainable value for all stakeholders."

1 Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as EBITDA adjusted for i) non-recurring charges/(income), ii) the effects of non-recurring events, iii), events relating to extraordinary transactions and iv) operating foreign exchange gains/(losses).

2 Adjusted Net Profit is calculated as adjusted Result of the period of the i) adjustments in Adjusted EBITDA, ii) adjustments of depreciation relating to the Purchase Price Allocation, iii) adjustments of non-recurring financial expense/(income) and iv) the theoretical tax impact of these adjustments.

3 Leverage ratio is the ratio of net financial indebtedness to Adjusted EBITDA.

Analysis of consolidated revenue

In the first nine months of 2025, the Group reported revenues of EUR 113.2 million, a slight decrease (-3.8%) compared to the same period of the previous year (EUR 117.7 million), due to the continued challenging market conditions linked to the performance of the global economy.

Revenue by product line

The table below shows sales by product line:

(In millions of Euro) Period ended

Revenue from sales - Blue 14.7 13.0% 16.0 13.6% (1.3) -8.0%
Total Revenues from Sales 113.2 100.0% 117.7 100.0% (4.5) -3.8%

The analysis of sales for the individual product lines shows that:

  • the Red Line, dedicated to the commercialization of smartphone and tablet accessories and the Group's own-brand audio products, recorded sales of EUR 90.6 million (vs. EUR 94.6 million in the same period of 2024), showing growth in the domestic market (+2.6%, or EUR 1.0 million) compared to the first nine months of 2024, thereby further strengthening its absolute market leadership. However, this positive domestic performance was not sufficient to offset the slowdown in international markets, due both to the uncertainty affecting discretionary spending and to the weakness in certain geographical areas, as previously mentioned;
  • the Black Line, mainly comprising motorcycle accessories under the Interphone brand, recorded sales of EUR 7.9 million, up Euro 0.8 million (+11.5%) from the same period in 2024 (Euro 7.1 million). The contribution of the Black Line to total sales increased to 7.0% from 6.0% in the first nine months of 2024;
  • the Blue Line, focused on the distribution of third-party branded products, reported revenues of Euro 14.7 million, representing 13.0% of total sales, compared to Euro 16.0 million in the same period of 2024. The decline of Euro 1.3 million (-8.0%) marks a progressive improvement compared to the performance in the first half of 2025.

Revenue by geographical area

The table below shows sales by geographical area:

(In millions of Euro) Period ended Change
30 September 2025 % of
revenues
30 September 2024 % of revenues Δ %
Italy 54.1 47.8% 53.7 45.6% 0.4 0.6%
Other European markets 52.9 46.7% 57.6 49.0% (4.7) -8.2%
Other countries 6.2 5.5% 6.3 5.4% (0.1) -1.5%
Total Revenues from Sales 113.2 100.0% 117.7 100.0% (4.5) -3.8%

With regard to the analysis of sales by geographic area, it should be noted that sales in the domestic market showed a slight increase in terms of absolute value, while showing an increase in their incidence on the Group's total revenues (47.8% in the period under review compared to 45.6% in the first nine months of 2024).

Analysis of Consolidated Operating Profit and Net Profit

In relation to the analysis of the Income Statement for the first nine months of 2025, it is noted that:

  • Gross Operating Margin amounted to Euro 45.9 million (vs. Euro 47.2 million in the first nine months of 2024), mainly due to lower revenues;
  • Costs of Sale and Distribution, General and Administrative Costs and Other Non-Operating Costs/Revenues amounted to Euro 42.1 million in the period under review and accounted for 37.2% of revenue in the period, compared to Euro 43.1 million in the first nine months of the previous year (36.7% of revenue).

Net financial income and expenses in the first nine months of 2025 amounted to Euro -2.6 million, compared to Euro -2.5 million in the first nine months of 2024; the higher incidence of net financial expenses is mainly due to the mark-to-market of outstanding exchange rate hedging derivatives.

Adjusted EBITDA, considered by the Company to be the most representative indicator of the Group's operating profitability, amounted to Euro 14.6 million in the first nine months of 2025, compared to Euro 15.1 million in the previous period, showing overall stability in terms of incidence on revenues (12.9% vs. 12.8% in the first nine months of 2024). This improvement is also due to the positive impact of the operating component of foreign exchange differences, amounting to €0.7 million (€0.3 million in the first nine months of 2024).

The Adjusted Net Profit for the period amounted to Euro 4.7 million, compared to Euro 5.2 million in the first nine months of 2024.

Analysis of consolidated net financial indebtedness and operating cash flow

Net financial debt as of 30 September 2025, stood at Euro 15.2 million (Euro 22.0 million as of 31 December 2024), an improvement of Euro 6.8 million (-31.0%). This includes mainly: financial liabilities (Euro 32.1 million), cash and cash equivalents (Euro 24.2 million), liabilities related to the valuation of Put/Call options for the purchase of minorities (Euro 4.9 million), and lease liabilities under IFRS 16 (Euro 2.7 million).

The decline in net financial debt as at 30 September 2025, compared to 31 December 2024, is attributable to both EBITDA for the period and the seasonal nature of the business.

The leverage ratio, calculated as the ratio of net financial indebtedness to adjusted EBITDA for the last 12 months, is 0.68x (compared to 0.97x as at December 31, 2024).

Operating Cash-flow for the period amounted to Euro 16.5 million (Euro 19.1 million in the first nine months of 2024); the decrease (of Euro -2.6 million) was due to a lower reduction in Working Capital compared to the same period of 2024, while EBITDA remained substantially in line.

Significant events in the first nine months of 2025

  • From the beginning of FY 2025, Cellularline, within the scope of the authorisation to purchase treasury shares resolved by the Issuer's Shareholders' Meeting on 22 November 2023 and renewed by resolution of the Shareholders' Meeting on 17 April 2025, purchased 858,016 ordinary treasury shares for a total value of EUR 2,373 thousand.

Significant events after 30 September 2025

16 October: The Group Chief Financial Officer and Manager in charge of drafting the Company's accounting documents, Mr. Mauro Borgogno, announced his decision to step down from his roles effective 1 December 2025, for personal reasons. He will, however, remain a member of the Company's Board of Directors after that date.

Outlook

The Group's performance in the first nine months of 2025 continued to be affected by the unfavourable situation in its reference markets; however, the last quarter showed a gradual easing of this trend. In this context, considering the seasonal nature of the business—with a strong concentration of revenues and results in the last quarter—and the still-evolving dynamics, the Group confirms the latest estimates disclosed in the press release dated 10 September 2025 (Revenues expected between Euro 154 million and Euro 161 million, Adjusted EBITDA between Euro 21 million and Euro 22 million, and a Leverage Ratio below 1).

****
