FINANCIAL REPORTING OFFICER

Fabio Fazzari CFO and Investor Relator

As from the 2024 financial year, the company introduced the one-tier system, whose members of the Management Control Committee are

  • Giovanni Maria Rayneri Chairman
  • Anna Claudia Pellicelli
  • Valeria Bruni Giordani

General information

Centrale del Latte d'Italia S.p.A. (hereinafter also referred to as "CLI") is a company incorporated in Italy in the form of a public limited company operating under Italian law. The Company has its registered office at Via Filadelfia 220 in Turin.

The Company operates in the food sector with a large and structured product portfolio organised into the following business units: Milk Products, Dairy Products and Other Products.

67.74% of the Company's share capital is held by NewPrinces S.p.A., while the remainder (26.75%) is held by institutional investors and Centrale del Latte d'Italia (5.51%) following the purchase of own shares.

The Company has a one-tier governance system characterised by the presence of a Board of Directors, which is responsible for strategic supervision and management functions, and a Management Control Committee established within the same Board, which performs control functions.

This management report shows the financial information of the Company at 30 September 2025 compared to the financial statements at 30 September 2024 and the statement of financial position at 31 December 2024.

Alternative performance indicators

The following financial report presents and comments on some financial indicators and reclassified statements (relating to the statement of financial position and the statement of cash flows) not defined by IFRSs.

These amounts, defined below, are used to comment on the Company's business performance in compliance with the provisions of the Consob Communication of 28 July 2006 (DEM 6064293), as subsequently amended and supplemented (Consob Communication no. 0092543 of 3 December 2015 implementing the ESMA/2015/1415 guidelines).

The alternative performance indicators listed below should be used as an information supplement to IFRS requirements to help users of the financial report to better understand the Company's results, assets and liabilities and cash flows. This may differ from the methods used by other companies.

Financial indicators used to measure the economic performance of the Company:

  • EBITDA: the operating result (OR) before depreciation, amortisation and writedowns of tangible and intangible assets and of financial assets.
  • Cash conversion: the ratio of EBITDA to the difference between EBITDA and total investments.

Net financial debt is given by the algebraic sum of:

  • Cash and cash equivalents
  • Current financial assets
  • Non-current financial liabilities
  • Current financial liabilities

  • Current lease liabilities
  • Non-current lease liabilities

Statement of cash flows

It is a cash flow that represents a measure of the Company's self-financing and is calculated from the cash flow generated by operating activities, in which the operating result is adjusted by the effects of non-monetary operations, by any deferral or provision of previous or future operating inflows or outflows, and by elements of revenue or costs related to financial flows deriving from investment activities or financing activities.

The Company presents the income statement by destination (otherwise known as "at cost of sales"), which is considered more representative than the so-called presentation by nature of expenditure, which is also reported in the notes to the Annual Financial Report. The form chosen is, in fact, compliant with the internal reporting and business management methods.

Performance in the first nine months of 2025

Operations in the first nine months of 2025 show a positive pre-tax result of Euro 10,931 thousand and a total net result of Euro 8,737 thousand.

The aforementioned result is significantly better than in the same period of the previous year.

During the first nine months of the year the Company recorded an increase in revenue (+2.76% compared with the same period of the previous year), mainly driven by higher sales volumes in the fresh milk and dairy segment. Of note was the extraordinary performance of the Dairy segment, which recorded a 8% increase in turnover thanks to the acquisition of new customers and an increase in the average sales price.

The comparison with the same period of the previous year shows similar results, with EBITDA amounting to Euro 25.7 million or 9.8% of revenue compared to Euro 25.7 million as at 30 September 2024 or 10.1%.

The results achieved in the third quarter once again underscore the Company's ability to generate a high margin despite a particularly challenging market environment. The comparison with the business plan shows a very positive trend, beyond expectations.

The third quarter of 2025 closed with a net profit after tax of Euro 8.7 million, up from Euro 8.3 million in Q3 2024.

Outlook

Considering the short period of time historically covered by the Company's order book and the difficulties and uncertainties of the current global economic situation, it is not easy to develop forecasts for the Company's future, which in any case seems to be very positive based on the results of the third quarter. The company will continue to pay particular attention to cost controls and financial management in order to maximise the generation of free cash flow, to be allocated both to organic growth externally and to the remuneration of Shareholders.

The Company has no way of predicting the extent to which the global economic situation may affect the Company's prospects for 2025, but based on the information available at the date of preparation of this report, the Directors believe that they can reasonably exclude significant adverse impacts, even considering the impact of potential tariffs promoted by the Trump administration.

Going concern

With reference to the content of the previous paragraph, even taking into account the complexity of a rapidly evolving market, the Company feels it is fair and reasonable to assume it status as a going concern in view of its ability to generate cash flows from operating activities and fulfil its obligations in the foreseeable future, particularly in the next 12 months, based on the solid financial structure as described below:

  • The considerable level of cash reserves available at 30 September 2025.
  • The presence of authorised and unused lines of credit from the Company to the

  • majority shareholder NewPrinces SpA.
  • The continual support given by the leading banks to the NewPrinces Group, partly because of its market-leading status.

Note that the Company's economic and financial performance in the first nine months of 2025 was higher than budgeted. It should also be noted that the cash and cash equivalents, amounting to Euro 68.3 million, the credit lines currently available and the cash flows that will be generated by operational management are considered more than sufficient to fulfil obligations and finance the Company's operations.

EVENTS AFTER THE CLOSE OF THE INTERIM REPORT ON OPERATIONS FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED 30 September 2025

After 30 September 2025 there were no atypical or unusual transactions requiring changes to the interim report at 30 September 2025.

EBITDA, the details of which can be found in the following section of the sector report, was in line with the trend of revenue and compared to the same period in 2024.

Revenue from contracts with customers

Revenue from contracts with customers contains the contractual fees to which the Company is entitled in exchange for the transfer of the promised goods or services to customers. The contractual fees may include fixed or variable amounts or both and are recognised net of rebates, discounts and promotions, such as contributions to the mass distribution channel. In particular, in the context of existing contractual relations with mass distribution operators, CLI is expected to recognise contributions as year-end bonuses linked to the achievement of certain turnover volumes or amounts related to the positioning of products.

SEGMENT REPORTING

The following table provides a breakdown of revenue from contracts with customers by business unit as monitored by management.

Revenues from the B2B partners channel were essentially in line with the same period of the previous year.

Revenues from the Normal trade channel increased as a result of higher sales volumes in the milk sector.

Revenues from Italy increased because of higher sales volumes in the milk sector and a higher average sales price than in the same period last year in the UHT milk sector. Revenues from Germany were substantially in line with the same period of the previous year.

Revenue relating to Other Countries increased due to higher volumes in the dairy sector.

Operating costs

The following table lists the operating costs as shown in the income statement by destination:

(In thousands of ourse) Income statement of the first nine months

Sales and distribution costs (39,094) (36,313)

Total operating costs (247,131) (243,934)

Commercial sales and distribution expenses increased due to higher costs incurred in the distribution of products related to the traditional channel.

Administrative costs are in line with 30 September 2024.

To assess performance, the Company's management monitors, among other things, EBITDA by business unit as shown in the following table:

(In thousands of euros Income statement of the first nine months Changes
and as a percentage of
revenue from contracts
with customers)
2025 % 2024 % 2025 v 2024 %

EBITDA 25,695 9.8% 25,733 10.1% (38) (0.1%)

EBITDA in the Milk Products segment decreased slightly as a result of an increased promotional push in the fresh milk and shelf-stable milk segment.

EBITDA related to the Dairy Products segment was up, mainly due to an increase in the average sales price as well as an increase in volumes mainly related to Mascarpone.

EBITDA in the Other products segment was in line with the same period of the previous year.

Explanatory notes

Basis of preparation

The Interim Management Report at 30 September 2025 was prepared in accordance with the international accounting principles (IAS/IFRS) adopted by the European Union for interim financial statements (IAS 34). The financial statements were prepared in accordance with IAS 1, while the notes were prepared in condensed form applying the option provided for in IAS 34 and therefore do not include all the information required for an annual report prepared in accordance with IFRSs. The interim report on operations at 30 September should therefore be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024.

These notes are presented in summary form in order not to duplicate information that has already been published, as required by IAS 34. Specifically, note that the comments refer exclusively to those components of the income statement and balance sheet whose composition or whose variation in amount, nature or unusual character are essential for the understanding of the Company's economic, financial and equity situation.

The preparation of interim financial statements in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting requires judgements, estimates and assumptions that have an effect on the values of revenues, costs and assets and liabilities, and on the disclosures relating to contingent assets and liabilities at the reporting date. It should be noted that these estimates may differ from the actual results achieved in the future. The financial statement items that most require greater subjectivity on the part of the directors when producing the estimates and for which a change in the conditions underlying the assumptions used could have a significant impact on the financial statements are: goodwill, depreciation and amortisation of non-current assets, deferred taxes, the provision for doubtful receivables, the provision for inventory write-downs, the provisions for risks, the defined benefit plans for employees, payables for the purchase of equity investments contained in the other liabilities and the determination of the fair value of the assets and liabilities acquired as part of the business combinations.

Measurement criteria

The measurement criteria used for the preparation of the financial statements for the first nine months of 2025 are the same as those used for the annual financial statements at 31 December 2024, except for the new accounting standards, amendments and interpretations applicable from 1 January 2024, which are described below and which it is noted did not have a material impact on the Company's current results, assets and liabilities and cash flows.

Accounting standards, amendments and interpretations endorsed by the European Union and effective from 1 January 2025

Effective date New accounting
standard/amendment
Date of EU approval (OJEU
publication date)
1 January 2025 Lack of exchangeability
(Amendments to IAS 21)
13 Nov 2024 (EU)
2024/2862

Amendments to IAS 21

With Regulation (EU) no. 2024/2862 of 13 November 2024, the European Commission endorsed the amendment to the regulation regarding IAS 21 "The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates: Lack of Exchangeability". The document requires an entity to apply a consistent methodology to ascertain whether one currency can be converted into another, and when this is not possible, how to determine the exchange rate to be used and the disclosures to be made in the notes to the financial statements.

There was no impact resulting from the application of this standard on the report as at 30 September 2025 for Centrale del Latte d'Italia S.p.A.

The table above shows the main income statement items at 30 September 2024 and the main statement of financial position items at 31 December 2024 examined by the chief operating decision maker in order to assess the Company's performance, and the reconciliation of these items with respect to the corresponding amount included in the Interim Management Report:

Non-current assets

Below is a description of the main items that make up the non-current assets.

(In thousands of euros) At 30 September
2025
At 31 December
2024
Non-current assets
Property, plant and equipment 95,994 100,169
Right-of-use assets 13,007 14,961
Intangible assets 19,497 19,507

Non-current financial assets measured at fair value
through profit or loss 703 703
Deferred tax assets - -
Total non-current assets 130,598 136,737

Fixed assets, plant and equipment

The decrease is mainly due to amortisation/depreciation for the period. The increases for the period mainly relate to the completion of the investment in the Dairy segment.

Right-of-use assets

The decrease is mainly due to amortisation/depreciation for the period. The changes recorded under the investment item refer mainly to the lease of machinery used in the production process.

Intangible assets

Goodwill

Goodwill of Euro 350 thousand refers to the effect of the merger between Centrale del Latte d'Italia S.p.A. and Centro Latte Rapallo in 2013.

Concessions, licences, trademarks and similar rights

The following table shows a breakdown of "Concessions, licences, trademarks and similar rights" as at 30 September 2025:

(In thousands of euros) At 30 September 2025 At 31 December 2024
Trademarks with an indefinite useful life 19,132 19,132
Total net book value 19,132 19,132

Trademarks with an indefinite useful life

This item refers to the brands "Latte Rapallo", "Latte Tigullio", "Centrale del Latte di Vicenza" and "Mukki" for a total of Euro 19,132 thousand. At the reporting date, trademarks with an indefinite useful life were not subject to an impairment test as no Trigger Events were found that required early impairment.

In fact, despite the fact that the market capitalisation is lower than the Company's shareholders' equity value, in the first nine months of the year the performance and margins recorded were higher than those forecast in the Business Plan used to carry out the Impairment exercise as at 31 December 2024. In fact, the assumptions that led to the Impairment result as shown in the Annual Financial Report as at 31 December 2024 are still valid.

Equity investments in associates

The investments of associate companies amounting to Euro 1,397 thousand refer mainly to the investment held by Centrale del Latte d'Italia SpA in Mercafir Scpa.

Non-current financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss

The balance mainly includes the interest in Futura S.r.l. for a total of approximately Euro 689 thousand (less than 5% stake).

Current assets

(In thousands of euros) At 30 September 2025 At 31 December 2024
Current assets
Inventories 26,999 23,443
Trade receivables 32,341 38,268
Current tax assets - 130
Other receivables and current assets 14,086 14,300
Current financial assets measured at fair value

Financial receivables measured at amortised cost 2,525 2,540
Cash and cash equivalents 68,291 42,613
Total current assets 144,244 121,295

Inventories

Closing inventories were up by Euro 3.6 million on 31 December 2024 mainly because of an increase in warehouse stock.

Trade receivables

There are no significant changes in the receipt conditions. Total Receivables are shown net of the provision for write-downs estimated prudentially on the basis of information held in order to adjust their value to the presumed realisable value.

At each reporting date, customer receivables are analysed to check for the existence of impairment indicators. To perform this analysis, the Company assesses whether there are expected losses on trade receivables over the entire duration of these receivables and takes into account the expertise it has accrued regarding losses on receivables, grouped into similar categories, based on specific factors pertaining to the Company's receivables as well as on the general economic environment. Customer receivables are written down when there is no reasonable expectation that they will be recovered and the write-down takes place in the income statement under "amortisation, depreciation and write-downs". The determination of the provision for the period reflects the exposure of receivables – net of the provision for doubtful receivables – at their estimated realisable value.

Other receivables and current assets

"Other receivables and current assets" consist of tax receivables, advances to suppliers, prepaid expenses and other short-term receivables.

Financial receivables measured at amortised cost

Financial receivables measured at amortised cost refer to financial receivables from the related party New Property SpA for a total amount of Euro 2,525 thousand.

Cash and cash equivalents

"Cash and cash equivalents" consist of sight current accounts with banks. For details of the net financial debt, please see the report on operations in this document.

At 30 September 2025, cash and cash equivalents were not subject to restrictions or constraints. Part of the aforementioned cash and cash equivalents of Euro 58,389 thousand is attributable to cash pooled with the direct parent NewPrinces.

Please see the statement of cash flows for changes in the "Cash and cash equivalents" item during the year under review.

Shareholders' equity

Share capital

As reported in the statement of changes in shareholders' equity, the changes as at 30 September 2025 relate solely to the recognition of the net comprehensive income for the period in the amount of Euro 8,737 thousand.

Provisions for employee benefits

At 30 September 2025, this item totalled Euro 4,304 thousand, down from Euro 5,011 thousand at 31 December 2024, mainly because of the decrease in employees due to resignations and retirements.

Provisions for risks and charges

The provision for risks and charges consists primarily of the provision for agents' indemnities, which represents a reasonable forecast of the charges that would be borne by the Company in the event of future interruption of agency relationships.

Other provisions for risks and charges refer to disputes and litigation of an immaterial nature.

Deferred tax liabilities

Deferred tax liabilities mainly refer to the allocation of capital gains from the acquisition of Centrale del Latte Toscana, the fair value valuation of the Mukki, Rapallo-Tigullio and Vicenza trademarks, and the fair value valuation of the Centrale del Latte land.

Non-current and current financial liabilities

Please refer to the "Net Financial Debt" section in the management report. As at 30 September 2025 the covenants relating to the loan granted by MS Capital Services were respected. With regard to the financial constraints on the other financing lines, the check is performed on the annual data as at 31 December, as per contractual requirements. The Company maintains that it is likely that these covenants will be complied with during the current year.

Current and non-current lease liabilities

This item includes the financial debt related to the right-of-use values recorded under fixed assets.

Liabilities were recognised in compliance with the new IFRS 16 that came into effect on 1 January 2019 and determined as the present value of future lease payments discounted

at a marginal rate of interest which, based on the length of each individual agreement, was identified in a range between 4% and 6%.
