PRESS RELEASE

Solid growth momentum despite the challenging backdrop and ongoing outperformance

Milan, October 29th, 2025-The Board of Directors of Davide Campari-Milano N.V. (Reuters CPRI.MI-Bloomberg CPR IM) approved the additional financial information report for the nine months ended September 30th, 2025.

NINE MONTHS 2025-RESULTS HIGHLIGHTS

Campari Group delivered a resilient performance in the first nine months of 2025, supported by growth across all regions in the third quarter with solid momentum despite the challenging operating backdrop. In the same period, profitability benefitted from gross margin accretion and visible effect of SG&A savings more than offsetting increased A&P investments, as planned. In this context, sell-out outperformance versus the spirits market continued in Q3 across most markets during peak season.

  • Net sales €2,281 million, +1.5% organically and +0.2% on a reported basis (Q3: +4.4% organic, -0.1% reported). The perimeter impact was +1.1% driven mainly by Courvoisier and partly offset by agency brands and co-packing while FX effect was -2.4%.
  • EBIT-adjusted €517 million, +1.4% organically and +3.6% on a reported basis (Q3: +19.5% organic, +18.8% reported). Ebit-adjusted margin at 22.7%.
  • EBITDA-adjusted €629 million, +4.8% organically and +6.4% on a reported basis (Q3: +18.8% organic, +17.6% reported). EBITDA-adjusted margin at 27.6%.
  • Group pre-tax profit at €399 million, -5.7% on a reported basis. Group pre-tax profit-adjusted at €440 million, -2.6% on a reported basis.
  • Net debt to EBITDA-adj. down to 2.9x.

Simon Hunt, Chief Executive Officer: "In an ongoing challenging backdrop, we recorded a resilient organic sales growth of +4.4% in the third quarter and we remain on track. This was achieved through our commercial execution and pricing discipline, which has delivered outperformance in sell-out across most geographies where we are continuing to gain share. We remain focused on what we can control and continue to make good progress in all our strategic priorities. In particular, regarding cost containment, we see visible acceleration in our savings, while in terms of balance sheet, our financial leverage has decreased by 0.7x in the last twelve months to 2.9x. We continue to streamline assets with the disposal of our investment in the Tannico e-commerce platform and we continue to explore other disposal opportunities. Looking forward, we expect moderate organic top-line growth while our EBITadj. margin expectation of flattish organic trend now incorporates the tariff impact this year, thanks to its better absorption. We remain fully confident in the delivery of long-term sustainable growth and continuous financial deleverage.'.

2025 OUTLOOK

For 2025 Campari Group continues to expect moderate organic topline growth assuming no further worsening of consumer confidence in Europe, especially impacting the on-trade, and in the US. Instead, for EBIT-adj. margin, Campari Group continues to expect a flattish organic trend but now with the US tariffs impact absorbed this year. EBIT-adj. margin guidance is driven by a slightly lower than previously guided tariff impact (now estimated at c.€15 million in 2025 due to the benefit of our inventory position, assuming tariff stability with an annualized impact of €37 million) and the benefit of efficiency gains in COGS and SG&A, more than offsetting re-investments in A&P in the third quarter. Additionally, Campari Group remains on track to deliver 50bps improvement in SG&A margin on net sales in the first year of its cost containment plan supported by value reduction of SG&A in the fourth quarter. The impact of FX and perimeter on EBIT-adj. margin is expected to be limited overall.

MEDIUM-TERM OUTLOOK

Medium-term guidance remains confirmed. Campari Group remains confident to continue to achieve outperformance vs competition and market share gains leveraging its strong brands in growing categories with a gradual return in the medium-term to mid-to-high single digit organic net sales growth trajectory in a normalised macro environment. Gross margin is expected to benefit from sales growth, positive sales mix driven by aperitifs, tequila and premiumization across the portfolio, as well as COGS efficiencies. Accretion of EBIT margin will be mainly supported by key cost containment initiatives delivering 200bps overall organic benefit of SG&A to net sales in 3 years.

REVIEW OF ORGANIC NET SALES BY GEOGRAPHY

  • Americas (44% of total Group sales) grew by +1% in the nine months of 2025 supported by acceleration in Q3 with solid trend across the region. The US registered -2% decline in the nine months with a performance supported by positive trend in Q2 (+3%) and Q3 (+1%) in an ongoing challenging backdrop but offset by destocking impact in Q1. Growth was mainly driven by Espolòn, Courvoisier, Wray&Nephew Overproof and stable trend in aperitifs with positive Campari offsetting inventory alignment post-tariff volatility in Aperol in Q3, partially offset by persisting challenges in SKYY. Jamaica registered a solid growth +11% with a strong Q3 trend due to the base effect of the hurricane last year, as well as supportive underlying market trends. The other markets in the region recorded +3% growth with flat Q3 trend impacted mainly by Canada (-13%) due to trade disruption in connection with tariffs.
  • EMEA1 (50% of total Group sales) grew by +2%. Italy was impacted by the challenging market backdrop in the on-premise due to macro-economic pressure on consumers leading to impact on Aperol, while the Group's portfolio approach drove resilience across other spirits including Campari and especially Sarti Rosa. Germany was down -3% in the first nine months with positive underlying performance in the third quarter (Q3:+1%), impacted by a very challenging market backdrop and incorporating the impact of de-listing (€3 million in Q3, impacting mainly Aperol) with growth mainly driven by Sarti Rosa. France recorded a positive performance (+3%) mainly driven by Aperol, with growth of +6% in Q3 incorporating impact of a positive peak season performance and favourable comparison base. The UK recorded a strong double-digit performance of +11% (+17% excluding

  • one-off bulk sale) with acceleration in Q3 driven by aperitifs, mainly Aperol and Aperol Spritz as well as Courvoisier supported by the ongoing marketing campaign. Other markets in the region recorded +6% growth, especially in GTR, Greece and Belgium, driven by aperitifs and Courvoisier.
  • APAC (6% of total Group sales) grew +5% supported by positive momentum across the region. Australia was up by +6% with Q3 performance incorporating +15% growth in Aperol supported by strong focus on activations as well as +12% growth in Espolòn bottle and ready-to-drink (RTD), which continues to lead the tequila RTD category, but offset by Wild Turkey RTD due to phasing of shipments. Other markets in the region registered +4% growth with positive momentum mainly driven by China, India and South Korea due to Wild Turkey/Russell's Reserve as well as initial reorders in Courvoisier following clearing of trade channels after acquisition.

REVIEW OF ORGANIC NET SALES BY HOUSES OF BRANDS

  • House of Aperitifs (46% of total Group sales) registered a resilient growth of +1% in the nine months primarily driven by Sarti Rosa and Aperol Spritz. Aperol registered -1% with trend impacted by the challenging market context in Italy due to the pressured on-premise as well as Germany due to some delisting impact related to trade disputes and US due to inventory alignment post-tariff volatility. All other countries registered solid growth of +4% with ongoing expansion in seeding markets and solid sell-out performance.Campari grew +2% in Q3 and +1% in nine months excluding Brazil, which was impacted by a high comparison base. Growth was driven by the US, Italy and the rest of Americas. Other brands grew +13% with a positive trend across all other aperitif brands, especially driven by Sarti Rosa in both its for now core German market and thanks to expansion into other European markets, as well as Aperol Spritz driven by convenience trends and Crodino, the non-alcoholic spritz, across all seeding European markets with double digit growth.
  • House of Whiskey and Rum (14% of total Group Sales) registered +5% growth. Wild Turkey recorded a strong growth in Q3 of +14% driven by the core US, benefitting from stock availability and encouraging results of new campaign, and in South Korea and China off a small base. Russell's Reserve grew in the US and South Korea in Q3. The Jamaican Rum portfolio grew +16% with Q3 growth of +45% driven by an easy comparison base due to the hurricane impact last year, as well as solid underlying trends in its core Jamaican market and the US, especially in Wray&Nephew Overproof. Other whiskey recorded a flat performance.
  • House of Agave (10% of total Group Sales) grew +3%. Espolòn recorded +3% growth mainly driven by Reposado (+11%) while Blanco remained flat due to focus on pricing with Q3 impacted by phasing of shipments. Seeding markets continued to expand double-digit off a small base, in line with the Group's international growth strategy. Other agave brands recorded +7% growth driven by Espolòn RTD in core Australia and Montelobos in the US and Mexico.
  • House of Cognac and Champagne (9% of total Group Sales) grew by +7%.Grand Marnierrecorded -14% decline with a stabilising performance in Q3 (Q3 2024: -1%), also supported by easy comparison base with focus on pricing in a highly competitive market. Other cognac and champagne registered -3% decline with flat performance inQ3, mainly driven by the ongoing positive performance of Lallier (+13%) offsetting some softness in Bisquit. Courvoisier, whose sales were integrated into organic growth in May, recorded €99 million net sales with positive impact of ongoing investment in the US and UK as well as start of early signs of momentum in China.
  • Lastly, local brands (21% of total Group sales) declined by -2%. SKYY recorded -2% with a positive performance in Q3 driven by Argentina, China and Brazil more than offsetting ongoing softness in the

core US, in line with other major players in the category. Sparkling wines and vermouth grew +2% and the rest of the portfolio declined by -4%.

NINE MONTHS 2025 RESULTS

Group sales totalled €2,281 million, up +0.2% on a reported basis and +1.5% in organic terms. The perimeter effect was +1.1% (€24 million) mainly driven by Courvoisier partly offset by agency brands and co-packing and FX effect was -2.4% (€(55) million) mainly driven by USD and Latin American currencies.

Gross profit was €1,396 million, 61.2% of net sales, up by +3.3% on a reported basis. It increased by +3.1% organically generating +90 basis points of margin accretion (Q3: +180bps accretion) supported by positive mix and ongoing benefit of input costs, especially agave, as well as contained tariff impact of €6 million (€4 million in Q3) benefitting from pre-tariff in-house inventory position.

Advertising and Promotion expenses (A&P) were €395 million, 17.3% of net sales, up by +8.0% on a reported basis. A&P increased organically by +8.7%, thus generating -110 basis points margin dilution (Q3: -90bps) driven by acceleration during peak season.

Selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) totalled €484 million, 21.2% of net sales, down by -0.7% on a reported basis. Organic growth of +0.6% generated +20bps margin accretion (Q3: +180bps accretion), with cost containment efforts progressively supporting margin.

EBIT-adjusted was €517 million, 22.7% of net sales, up by +3.6% on a reported basis. It was up organically by +1.4%, generating flat margin (Q3: +270bps) despite ongoing brand investments and incorporating contained SG&A.

Other operating income (expenses) resulted in a net expense of €41.9 million.

These non-recurrent payments totalled €33.8 million, of which €31.2 million accrued in 2025. The liability is projected to be mostly settled in the fourth quarter of 2025. Additionally, other operating expenses included an asset impairment related to a plant disposal in the first quarter.

Total financial expenses were €(80) million with increase compared to 9M 2024 driven by higher average net debt (€2,365 million vs €2,071 million last year) and the base effect of Courvoisier closing on cash and debt. Average cost of net debt was at 4.3% versus 3.7% in 9M 2024.

Group pre-tax profit-adjusted was €440 million, down by -2.6%. Group pre-tax profit was €399 million, down by -5.7%.
