Interim Financial Report March 31, 2026
Overview of the F.I.L.A. Group
The F.I.L.A. Group (hereafter also the “Group”) operates in the creativity tools market, producing and marketing colouring, design, modelling, writing and painting objects, such as pencils, crayons, modelling clay, chalk, oil colours, acrylics, watercolours, paints and paper for the fine arts, school and leisure.
The F.I.L.A. Group at March 31, 2026 operates through 19 production facilities and 34 subsidiaries across the globe and employs approx. 2,700 people, becoming a pinnacle for creative solutions in many countries with brands such as GIOTTO, DAS, LYRA, Canson, Maimeri, Daler-Rowney Lukas, Ticonderoga, Pacon, Strathmore, Princeton and Arches.
Founded in Florence in 1920 by two noble Tuscan families, della Gherardesca and Marchesi Antinori, F.I.L.A. S.p.A. (hereafter also the “Parent”) has achieved strong international growth in the past 20 years, supported by a series of strategic acquisitions. Over the years, the Parent has acquired: (i) the Italian firm Adica Pongo in 1994, a leading producer of modelling clay for children; (ii) the Spanish firm Spanish Fila Hispania S.L. (formerly Papeleria Mediterranea S.L.) in 1997, the Group’s former exclusive distributor in Spain; (iii) the French firm Omyacolor S.A. in 2000, a leading manufacturer of modelling putties and clays; (iv) the U.S. Dixon Ticonderoga Group in 2005, a leading producer and distributor of pencils in North America, with subsidiaries operating on the Canadian, Mexican, Chinese and European markets; (v) the German LYRA Group in 2008, which allowed the Group to enter the German, Scandinavian and Eastern Asian markets; (vi) the business unit operated by Lapiceria Mexicana in 2010, one of the main local competitors in the budget coloured and graphite pencils market; and (vii) the business unit operated by Maimeri S.p.A. in 2014, a manufacturer and distributor of paints and accessories for arts and crafts. In addition to these operations, on the conclusion of an initiative which began with the acquisition of a significant influence in 2011, control of the Indian company DOMS Industries Pvt Ltd. was acquired in 2015 (viii). In 2016, the F.I.L.A. Group focused upon development through strategic Art&Craft sector acquisitions, seeking to become the leading market player. On February 3, 2016, F.I.L.A. S.p.A. acquired control of the Daler-Rowney Lukas Group, an illustrious brand producing and distributing materials and accessories on the arts and crafts market since 1783, with a direct presence in the United Kingdom, the Dominican Republic, Germany and the USA (ix). In September 2016, the F.I.L.A. Group acquired the entire share capital of St. Cuthberts Holding Limited and the operating company St. Cuthberts Mill Limited, a highly-renowned English paper mill, founded in 1907, located in the south-west of England and involved in the production of high quality artist’s papers (x). In October 2016, F.I.L.A. S.p.A. acquired the Canson Group, founded in 1557 by the Montgolfier family, with headquarters in Annonay in France, production facilities in France and conversion and distribution centres in Italy, France, China, Australia and Brazil. Canson products are available in over 120 countries and the brand is the most respected globally involved in the production and distribution of high added value paper for the fine arts, design, leisure and schools, but also for artists’ editions and technical and digital drawing materials (xi).
In June 2018, F.I.L.A. S.p.A., through its US subsidiary Dixon Ticonderoga Co. (U.S.A.), consolidated its role

as a leading player on the US market with the acquisition of the US Group Pacon, which through brands such as Pacon, Riverside, Strathmore and Princeton, is a leader in the US schools and arts and crafts sector. Dixon Ticonderoga Co. (U.S.A.) was subsequently merged into Pacon Corporation (U.S.A.), which later changed its name to Dixon Ticonderoga Co. (U.S.A.) (xii).
On March 2, 2020, F.I.L.A.- Arches S.A.S., a French company wholly-owned by F.I.L.A. S.p.A., completed the purchase from the Ahlstrom-Munksjö Group of the fine art business unit specialised in fine art operating through the ARCHES® brand (xiii).
On February 8, 2022, the UK subsidiary Daler Rowney Ltd. acquired 100% of the UK company Creative Art Products Limited, located in Manchester (UK), which specialises in the schools segment and produces and distributes a wide range of art materials for children, both under the Scola brand and private label (xiv) brands.
On December 20, 2023, the listing of the subsidiary DOMS Industries Limited on the National Stock Exchange of India was completed. As part of the listing, however, F.I.L.A. S.p.A. remained the largest single shareholder of the company post-listing as it held 30.6% of the share capital. On December 19, 2024, following the completion of the share placement of the Indian associate company DOMS Industries Limited, F.I.L.A. S.p.A. reduced its shareholding to 26.01% of the share capital, while still remaining the largest single shareholder of the Indian company (xv).
On January 19, 2026, the acquisition was completed of a controlling interest in Seven, Italy's leader for backpacks, pencil cases and stationery, through the purchase of a 51.0% stake in Seven's share capital. The remaining stake in Seven is expected to be acquired by F.I.L.A. S.p.A. by December 31, 2028 (xvi).

Key events of the reporting period
-
Impacts of events related to the conflict in Israel
A military conflict involving Israel has been ongoing since October 7, 2023.
The operating and financial impacts of the conflict on the Israeli commercial subsidiary Fila Art and Craft Ltd are not considered significant, also in view of the fact that the revenue of the subsidiary accounts for approximately 0.4% of the Group’s total.
The F.I.L.A. Group does not have suppliers or production plant in the area. The Israeli subsidiary has a net commercial exposure to third parties at March 31, 2026 of Euro 503 thousand. Group management continues to monitor the recoverability of the net exposure to third parties of the subsidiary, although currently no recoverability risks exist. -
On January 2, 2026, the share capital increase of the Peruvian subsidiary Grupo Fila Peru S.A.C. was authorised for USD 206 thousand, subscribed 51% by the Chilean subsidiary Fila Chile Ltda and 49% by third parties.
-
On January 19, 2026, the acquisition of a controlling interest in Seven was finalised through the purchase from Green Arrow Private Equity Fund 3, managed by Green Arrow Capital SGR S.p.A., and from the three members of the Di Stasio family, in proportion to their respective holdings, of a 51.0% stake in Seven's share capital for consideration of Euro 26,772,665, paid in full in cash. The remaining holdings in Seven are expected to be acquired by F.I.L.A. S.p.A. by December 31, 2028 (for a total consideration for 100% of Seven's capital of Euro 53,722,665) and funded through Group generated cash flows. Seven has been consolidated into the F.I.L.A. Group from January 1, 2026.
-
On January 27, 2026, the deadline passed for the exercise of the "F.I.L.A. S.p.A. Sponsor Warrants", issued by the Company on the basis of the resolutions passed on October 9, 2013 and October 14, 2013 and exercisable under the conditions set out in the relative regulation. As no requests for exercise were received within the stipulated period, no shares were issued to service the warrants, and the warrants have therefore lost their validity and should be considered as expired.

Interim Financial Report
March 31, 2026
In order to permit a more accurate assessment of the F.I.L.A. Group’s financial performance and financial position, some alternative performance measures are presented alongside the conventional financial measures to the IFRS. Such alternative performance measures are not to be considered replacements for the IFRS-compliant measures. These measures are also tools used by the Directors to identify operating trends and for decision-making upon investments, the allocation of resources and other operative decisions. Alternative performance measures are not covered by IFRS and are therefore not comparable with similar performance and disclosure measures used in the financial statements of other entities.
These Alternative Performance Measures exclusively concern historical accounting data of the Group and are calculated in accordance with the Guidelines on Alternative Performance Measurement issued by ESMA on October 5, 2015 (2015/1415), as per CONSOB communication No. 92543 of December 3, 2015, the “ESMA Guidelines on Alternative Performance Measures (APMs)” issued on April 17, 2020 by the ESMA, and on October 28, 2022 in section 3 of the “European common enforcement priorities for 2022 annual financial reports”.
The alternative performance measures used are illustrated below:
Gross operating profit or EBITDA: this is calculated the Profit for the Period, adjusted by the following captions: (i) Total Income taxes, (ii) Amortisation, Depreciation and Impairment losses and (iii) the Financial Management Result. The F.I.L.A. Group uses this measure as an internal management target and in external presentations (for analysts and investors), as it is useful in measuring the overall operating performance of the F.I.L.A. Group.

reflected in the next quarter thanks to the improved distribution service to customers, Asia for Euro 815 thousand (-26.9% compared to the previous period), attributable to the closure of the facility in China and the consequent exit from the Chinese market, and Central and South America for Euro 285 thousand (-1.7% compared to the previous period), substantially in line with the preceding period and showing signs of progressive stability. On the other hand, organic growth in the Rest of the World of Euro 118 thousand (+13.1% on the previous year) is reported.
"Income" of Euro 2,987 thousand increased by Euro 609 thousand, mainly due to higher exchange gains on commercial transactions.
The "Operating Expense" in the period, amounting to Euro 112,573 thousand, decreased Euro 3,531 thousand compared to the same period of 2025, despite the increased contribution from the Seven Group for Euro 9,898 thousand. This decrease relates to the lower variable purchasing and commercial costs, as a reflection of sales dynamics, in addition to cost containment.
"Gross Operating Profit" amounted to Euro 16,721 thousand, down Euro 5,877 thousand on the same period of 2025 (-26.0%). The Gross Operating Profit excluding the Seven Group was Euro 20,150 thousand (-10.8%). Excluding the negative currency impact (-5.6%) and the impact of tariffs (-8.4%), EBITDA was up 3.1%, with an improvement in the margin (+0.2% over the previous period) due to cost containment and a better sales mix.
"Amortisation, depreciation and impairment losses" decreased Euro 919 thousand, mainly due to a reduction in impairments and provisions for estimated losses on receivables, despite the increased contribution from the Seven Group of Euro 609 thousand.
"Net financial expense" improved Euro 8,803 thousand, substantially due to lower unrealised exchange losses on financial transactions compared to the preceding period, which mainly impacted the parent F.I.L.A. S.p.A., In accordance with IAS/IFRS (IAS28.33), the most recent available financial disclosure should be used for the equity method valuation of the investment. At the date of this Interim Financial Report, the financial statements of the Indian associate DOMS Industries Limited at March 31, 2026 have not yet been approved. The consolidated financial statements of the F.I.L.A. Group at March 31, 2026 therefore do not take into account these figures as not yet available.

Business seasonality
The Group’s operations are affected by the business’s seasonal nature, as reflected in the consolidated results.
The F.I.L.A. Group primarily operates in the school and office strategic business segment and the fine arts Strategic business segment. Historically, the school and office strategic business segment has reported greater sales in the second and third quarters of the year than in the first and fourth quarters of the year. This is mainly due to the fact that in the Group’s main markets (i.e., North America, Mexico, India and Europe), schools reopen in the period from June to September. By contrast, the fine arts strategic business segment reports greater sales to some extent in the first, but especially in the fourth quarter, than in the second and third quarters, partially offsetting the seasonal nature of the school and office strategic business segment.
The quarterly breakdown of profit or loss shows the concentration of sales in the second and third quarters in conjunction with the “school campaign”. Specifically, significant sales are made through the traditional “school suppliers” channel in June and through the “retailers” channel in August.
Seasonality is more significant when it is viewed in relation to working capital. In fact, in the school and office Strategic business segment the Group has historically invested large quantities of financial resources to meet the enormous demand for products from July to September, while only receiving payments from November.
The key highlights for Q1 2026 and 2025 are reported below.

The increase is also due to exchange gains of Euro 4,278 thousand and net investments of Euro 817 thousand, principally by the parent F.I.L.A. S.p.A. (Euro 736 thousand) for the introduction of the SAP system at a number of Group companies.
"Property, Plant and Machinery" increased on December 31, 2025 by Euro 1,705 thousand, mainly increasing due to "Property, Plant and Machinery" of Euro 2,338 thousand, offset by the decrease in "Property, Plant and Machinery Right-of-Use" of Euro 633 thousand.
The increase in "Property, Plant and Machinery" is due to both the investments in the period of Euro 2,945 thousand by the parent company F.I.L.A. S.p.A. for Euro 1,073 thousand, by the U.S. subsidiary Dixon Ticonderoga Company for Euro 475 thousand, by Canson SAS (France) for Euro 441 thousand and by the Mexican subsidiary Grupo F.I.L.A.-Dixon, S.A. de C.V. of Euro 400 thousand, in addition to the acquisition of the Seven Group, which resulted in a change in the consolidation scope of Euro 1,568 thousand, in addition to the recognition of exchange gains of Euro 457 thousand. The overall movement was offset mainly by depreciation of Euro 2,615 thousand.
The decrease in "Property, Plant and Machinery Right-of-Use" was mainly due to depreciation in the period of Euro 2,323 thousand. This movement was offset by exchange gains of Euro 595 thousand, net investments in the period of Euro 510 thousand, mainly by the French subsidiary Canson SAS for Euro 170 thousand, and the change in the consolidation scope due to the acquisition of the Seven Group for Euro 461 thousand.
"Financial assets" in the period decreased on December 31, 2025 by Euro 346 thousand, mainly due to the parent company F.I.L.A. S.p.A. as the item at December 31, 2025 included advances paid for consulting services related to the acquisition of 51% of the Seven Group of Euro 348 thousand.
The increase in "Net Working Capital" of Euro 91,593 thousand relates to the following:
- "Trade Receivables and Other Assets" - increasing Euro 60,219 thousand, mainly due to the seasonality of the F.I.L.A. Group's business. The increase in particular concerns "Trade Receivables" for Euro 24,520 thousand, mainly relating to the U.S. subsidiary Dixon Ticonderoga Company for Euro 12,396 thousand and the Mexican subsidiary Grupo Fila- Dixon, S.A. de C.V. for Euro 11,040 thousand, in addition to the effect of the consolidation of the Seven Group (contribution at the acquisition date of Euro 26,420 thousand). Exchange gains of Euro 1,280 thousand are also reported;
- "Inventories" - increasing Euro 42,109 thousand, mainly due to the seasonality of the business which features higher stock on the approach of the schools' campaign.
The net increase in stock at the F.I.L.A. Group of Euro 26,140 thousand particularly concerns the subsidiary Dixon Ticonderoga Company (U.S.A) for Euro 10,835 thousand, the Italian subsidiary Seven for Euro 4,497 thousand and the subsidiary Grupo Fila- Dixon, S.A. de C.V. (Mexico) for Euro 3,679 thousand.

"Investing activities" used net cash flows of Euro 3,159 thousand (Euro 2,696 thousand used in 2025), mainly due to the use of cash for Euro 3,748 thousand (Euro 3,068 thousand in 2025) for net property, plant and equipment and intangible asset investment, particularly regarding the parent company F.I.L.A. S.p.A., Dixon Ticonderoga Company (U.S.A.), Canson SAS (France) and Grupo F.I.L.A. – Dixon, S.A. de C.V. (Mexico).
Net Operating Cash Flow from "Financing Activities" reports outflows of Euro 3,548 thousand (outflows of Euro 4,523 thousand in Q1 2025), due to interest paid on loans and credit facilities granted to Group companies, amounting to Euro 2,860 thousand, mainly concerning the parent F.I.L.A. S.p.A., Dixon Ticonderoga Company (U.S.A.) and Grupo F.I.L.A. - Dixon, S.A. de C.V. (Mexico), in addition to interest expense in application of IFRS 16 amounting to Euro 773 thousand and the change in equity of Euro 85 thousand due to the capital increase subscribed in the Peruvian subsidiary Fila Peru pertaining to non-controlling interests.
"Free Cash Flow to Equity" was a negative Euro 56,731 thousand (negative Euro 55,543 thousand at March 31, 2025), and is calculated as the difference between the Total Net Operating Cash Flow for a negative Euro 56,646 thousand (negative Euro 55,543 thousand at March 31, 2025), and the changes to Equity which amounted to Euro 85 thousand at March 31, 2026 (zero at March 31, 2025).
Excluding the currency effect regarding the translation of the Net Financial Debt in currencies other than the Euro (positive for Euro 222 thousand), the change in the "Amortized cost" of a negative Euro 248 thousand, the Mark to Market Hedging adjustment of a negative Euro 553 thousand, the change in Net Financial Debt due to the application of IFRS 16 of a positive Euro 682 thousand, in addition to the negative impact from the acquisition of the Seven Group of Euro 58,278 thousand (this amount includes the total financial debt for the transaction of Euro 53,723 thousand, the Seven Group's opening Net Financial Debt amounting to Euro 3,413 thousand and the cash out related to consulting services for the acquisition amounting to Euro 1,142 thousand), the Group's Net Financial Debt therefore increased Euro 114,822 thousand (increase of Euro 49,750 thousand at March 31, 2025).
Changes in net cash and cash equivalents are detailed below:
| Euro thousands | March 31, 2026 | December 31, 2025 | March 31, 2025 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Opening Cash and Cash Equivalents | 112,706 | 172,854 | 172,854 |

Segment reporting
In terms of segment reporting, the F.I.L.A. Group has adopted IFRS 8.
IFRS 8 requires an entity to base segment reporting on internal reporting, which is regularly reviewed by the entity’s chief operating decision maker to allocate resources to the various segments and assess performance.
Geographical segments are the primary basis of analysis and of decision-making by the F.I.L.A. Group’s management, therefore fully in line with the internal reporting prepared for these purposes.
In particular, the Group’s business is divided into five business segments, each of which is composed of various geographical segments, i.e. (i) Europe, (ii) North America (USA and Canada), (iii) Central and South America, (iv) Asia and (v) the Rest of the World, which includes South Africa and Australia. Each of the five business segments designs, markets, purchases, manufactures and sells products under known consumer brands in demand amongst end users and used in schools, homes and workplaces. Product designs are adapted to end users’ preferences in each geographical segment.
The group’s products are similar in terms of quality and production, target market, margins, sales network and customers, even with reference to the different brands which the group markets. Accordingly, there is no diversification by segments in consideration of the substantial uniformity of the risks and benefits relating to the products produced by the F.I.L.A. Group.
The accounting policies applied to segment reporting are in line with those used for the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.
Business Segment Reporting of the F.I.L.A. Group aggregates companies by geographical segment on the basis of the “entity location”.
For disclosure on the association between the geographical segments and F.I.L.A. group companies, reference should be made to the attachments to this report in the “List of companies included in the consolidation scope and other equity investments” section.
The segment reporting required in accordance with IFRS 8 is presented below.

Subsequent events
In the period between April 7, 2026 and April 13, 2026, the Parent F.I.L.A. S.p.A. purchased treasury shares on the regulated Euronext Milan market for 148,486 ordinary shares of F.I.L.A. S.p.A. for a total value of Euro 1,430 thousand. These transactions were carried out as part of the treasury share buyback programme authorised by the Board of Directors on March 23, 2026, pursuant to the authorisation approved by the ordinary Shareholders' Meeting of April 29, 2025.
Details, on a daily basis, of ordinary share purchases are provided below:
| Date | Number of ordinary shares purchased | Average price (Euro) | Amount (Euro) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 07/04/2026 | 40,000 | 9.47 | 378,608 |
| 09/04/2026 | 30,000 | 9.63 | 288,795 |
| 10/04/2026 | 50,000 | 9.76 | 488,077 |
| 13/04/2026 | 28,486 | 9.65 | 274,766 |
| Total | 148,486 | 1,430,245 |
At May 14, 2026, the Company therefore held 392,692 treasury shares in portfolio (equal to 0.77% of the share capital).
Outlook
FY 2026 is expected to continue to feature a complex macroeconomic environment marked by a number of uncertainties, including the development of the U.S. tariff policies which are still being set. This situation will be shaped by the ongoing geopolitical tensions, exacerbated by the recent crisis in the Middle East which is fuelling significant global economic instability, with a direct impact on inflationary pressures and particularly in Europe.
In the United States, the market is expected to stabilise following the uncertainties related to the tariff policies and federal school budget cuts in FY 2025. Looking ahead, the new tariff policies in North America will create an advantage due to the significant geographical diversification of F.I.L.A.'s production footprint.
In Europe, the reorganisations are beginning to deliver the expected benefits and the acquisition of Seven Group will allow us to more effectively address the birth rate problem in Europe, to expand the brand portfolio and to consolidate our presence in the school products segment, while maintaining a high level of profitability and liquidity generation.
The Indian market continues to be particularly strong, with DOMS' growth outperforming the competition and in line with its strategic plans.
In Central and South America, the situation regarding competition from illegally imported products in Mexico

is expected to stabilise, thanks in part to local law enforcement measures, including the stepping up of customs controls and trade investigations.
The F.I.L.A. Group will introduce new sales policies over the coming months, which in Europe includes a greater exposure to the direct sales channel, while in the United States, thanks to the improved customer distribution service over the last eighteen months, the seasonality of the business has gradually shifted to the middle quarters of the year. The organisational streamlining to support cost-cutting will also continue, alongside operational and process optimisation activities.
The results of the second half of 2026 will largely depend on the intensity and duration of the crisis in the Middle East. Against this backdrop, although amid elements of volatility, the company remains confident - thanks to its broad geographic diversification and the resilience of its business model - of a gradual recovery in revenues and margins, while maintaining its dividend policy in favour of shareholders.
Treasury shares
On March 31, 2026, the Group held 244,206 treasury shares, for a total value of Euro 2,114 thousand, equal to the “Negative reserve for treasury shares in portfolio” deducted from consolidated shareholders’ equity.
It should be noted that the treasury shares currently held are largely allocated to serve the 2022-2026 Performance Shares Plan and the 2025-2029 Performance Shares Plan, which, in the event of reaching the related targets, stipulates the allocation of a minimum number of shares (equal to approximately 165,000/170,000 shares for each of the three three-year cycles).
Accounting standards and basis of preparation
The Interim Financial Statements of the F.I.L.A. Group at March 31, 2026, drawn up by the Board of Directors of F.I.L.A. S.p.A., were prepared in accordance with the accounting standards and methods adopted for the annual financial report, based on the historic cost principle and the going concern assumption.
