Interim Report on Operations

The first nine months of 2021 were characterised by a sustained recovery of the global economy, with trade returning to pre-pandemic levels. The pace of the growth generated tensions in the procurement of raw materials, leading to a general increase in prices, also due to the rise in the cost of energy resources.

In the first nine months of 2021, consolidated turnover stood at €124,285 thousand, marking an increase of 26.0% compared to €98,655 thousand recorded in the first nine months of 2020 (up 12.7% compared to the first nine months of 2019).

An analysis of consolidated sales by geographical area shows growth of 36.2% in the Italian market, with sales at €53.1 million; an increase in revenues of 25.2% on the other European markets, with a total value of €58.6 million and a drop in non-European sales, amounting to €12.6 million, equal to 2.0%. In the first nine months of 2021, 42.7% of Group sales were represented by Italy (as compared with 39.5% in the first nine months of 2020), 47.2% by the rest of Europe (47.5% in the first nine months of 2020), and 10.1% by the rest of the World (13.0% in the first nine months of 2020).

*In 2020, the German company IKUMA KG, acquired by Cembre GmbH in May 2018, was merged by incorporation in Cembre GmbH. For said reason, the tables show the 2019 and 2018 data in consolidated form, considering the data of the German companies involved in the merger jointly. It should be noted that the data until 2017 concern solely Cembre Gmbh. The fall in turnover registered by Cembre Inc in 2021 is connected with the decline in sales to the company's main customer, which suffered serious repercussions from the COVID-19 pandemic in terms of revenues.

In the first nine months of 2021, Group companies reported the following pre-consolidation sales revenues and results:

Notes to the accounts

Accounting principles, form and content of the Financial Statements,

estimates

The Interim Report on Operations of the Cembre Group at September 30,2021 was prepared in compliance with article 2.2.3, paragraph 3 of the "Rules for Markets organised and managed by Borsa Italiana S.p.A." and aims to provide a general description of the financial position and the economic performance of the Company and its subsidiaries in the period, in addition to reporting important events occurred and operations carried out and their effect on the financial position of the Company and its subsidiaries.

All the information required by IAS 34 is not provided in this document.

The consolidation principles and measurement criteria adopted conform to the international accounting standards (IAS/IFRS) and are consistent with those adopted to draft the financial statements of the Group for the year ended as at December 31, 2020.

The Group's financial statements include those as at September 30, 2021 of Cembre S.p.A. (Parent Company) and the following companies:

Share owned by the
Group as at September

The criteria used in the preparation of the financial statements were applied consistently within the Group. Where necessary, financial data were adjusted and reclassified. In compliance with IAS 1, in the financial statements costs were classified by nature.

Amounts are expressed in thousands of Euro.

The Interim Report was prepared according to the "separation of periods method", based on which the reference period is considered an autonomous financial year. The income statement for the quarter thus reflects the income components relating to the period based on the accrual method.

Bonuses recognised to customers at the end of the period were estimated based on past sales and their expected future performance.

Translation of financial statements expressed in currencies other than the

euro
