The Gefran Group's business is centred around two main business areas: industrial sensors and automation components.
Design, production and commercialization activities are carried out through various sales channels, offering a complete range of products and solutions that can be applied in multiple automation sectors. About 68% of revenues are generated abroad.
The sensors business offers a complete range of products for measuring four physical parameters of position, pressure, force and temperature - which are used in many industrial sectors.
Gefran stands out for its technological leadership, creating in-house the primary elements, offering a complete range that is unique in the world and occupying leading positions worldwide for some product families. The sensors business generates about 78% of its revenues abroad.
The automation components business develops around three main product lines that are widely used in the control of industrial processes: instrumentation, power control and automation platforms (operator panels, PLC, I/O modules). In addition to the supply of products, Gefran offers its customers the possibility of designing the entire automation solution, providing "tailor-made" and "turnkey" solutions, thanks to a strategic partnership both during the design and production stages.
Gefran stands out for its expertise in hardware and software acquired in over thirty years of experience. Gefran is one of the main Italian manufacturers in these product lines and generates around 42% of its business revenues through exports.

Revenues in the third quarter of 2025 amounted to 32,975 thousand Euro, as compared to 32,100 thousand Euro in the same period of the previous year, up by 875 thousand Euro (equal to 2.7%). The subsidiary CZ Elettronica S.r.l. joining the Group contributed to the increase in revenues, for a total amount of 732 thousand Euro, without which growth in the quarter would be 143 thousand Euro (0.4%).
{12}------------------------------------------------
Overall, without taking into account the negative effect of exchange rate fluctuations compared to the same period of the previous year, estimated at 512 thousand Euro, the growth in revenues for the quarter would be more significant (4.3%).
Analysing the order intake in the third quarter of 2025, compared to the figure for the same period in 2024, there was an increase (overall 5.2%), driven by an increase in the orders collected for the sensors business (+13%), while the order intake for the automation components business in the third quarter was overall lower than in the same quarter of 2024 (-7.6%).
The table below presents a breakdown of revenues in the third quarter by geographical region.
| 3Q 2025 | 3Q 2024 | Change 2025-2024 | ||||

In the breakdown of quarterly revenues by geographical region, compared with the figure for the same period of the previous year, performance was good in Italy, which posted an increase (+6%), reflecting the positive contribution of the operations described in the introduction (when considering the same scope of consolidation, revenues achieved in Italy in the third quarter of 2025 were 1.5% lower than in the same period of the previous year).
Revenues in Asian countries also grew (+9.9%), despite the negative effect of exchange rate fluctuations compared to the third quarter of 2024 (net of which the increase in revenues in the region would be 13.5%). However, revenues in European countries (overall -3%) and in America (overall - 5.1%) went down. The latter area was affected by the negative effect of foreign currency trends (without which revenues would be substantially in line with the same period in the previous year).
The breakdown of revenues for the third quarter by business area is presented below in comparison with the same period in the previous year.
{13}------------------------------------------------
| 3Q 2025 | 3Q 2024 | Change 2025-2024 | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| (Euro /000) | Value | % | Value | % | Value | % |
| Sensors | 22,010 | 66.7% | 20,895 | 65.1% | 1,115 | 5.3% |
| Automation components |
13,028 | 39.5% | 12,846 | 40.0% | 182 | 1.4% |
| Eliminations | (2,063) | -6.3% | (1,641) | -5.1% | (422) | 25.7% |
| Total | 32,975 | 100% | 32,100 | 100% | 875 | 2.7% |
Compared to the previous third quarter, revenues from the sensors segment increased overall by 5.3% in all the geographical regions reached by this business, except for Europe. With regard to the automation components segment, growth was more limited (1.4%), influenced, among others, by the revenues contributed by the companies acquired in April 2025, currently held by CZ Elettronica S.r.l., whose operating activities fall within the segment in question. Without considering this contribution, the revenues generated by the automation components segment decreased by 4.3% during the quarter compared to the same period in 2024. For further details on the economic performance of each segment, please see the Business Areas section.
Increases for internal work in the third quarter of 2025 amounted to 540 thousand Euro (450 thousand Euro in the third quarter of 2024). This item represents the new product development costs incurred in the period that have been capitalised.
Added value in the quarter amounted to 24,006 thousand Euro (23,393 thousand Euro in the same quarter of 2024), corresponding to 72.8% of revenues (72.9% in the third quarter of 2024). The increase in added value, totalling 613 thousand Euro (131 thousand Euro without considering the added value of the new subsidiaries acquired in April 2025), mainly relates to the higher revenues achieved in the period, as described above, partially offset by higher customs duties (in particular linked to trade with the US subsidiary).
Other operating costs in the third quarter of 2025 amounted to 5,773 thousand Euro, an increase of 356 thousand Euro over the figure for the third quarter of 2024 (a 261 thousand Euro increase net of the effect of the acquisitions described in the introduction), corresponding to 17.5% of revenues (16.9% in the third quarter of 2024). Overall, the upward change is due to higher costs for consultancy, training and personnel selection, as well as advertising and fairs, partly offset by the lower use of external professional work and services.
Personnel costs during the quarter, amounting to 13,140 thousand Euro, were 1,239 thousand Euro higher than in the same period of 2024, when they amounted to 11,901 thousand Euro (without considering the higher costs for the acquisitions described in the introduction, personnel costs for the quarter would be 917 thousand Euro higher). Overall, the increase reflects the higher impact of the salary increase provided for by the National Collective Bargaining Agreement of June 2024 for all employees at the Group's Italian sites as well as the general increase in staff to support the execution of the Group's strategy. The percentage of revenues was 39.8% (37.1% in the third quarter of 2024). For details on the workforce and its changes, please see the Human Resources section.
EBITDA in the third quarter of 2025 amounted to 5,093 thousand Euro (6,075 thousand Euro in the same quarter of 2024), corresponding to 15.4% of revenues (18.9% of revenues in the same period of 2024), which is lower than in the third quarter of 2024 by 982 thousand Euro (1,047 thousand Euro without considering EBITDA contributed by the newly acquired CZ Elettronica S.r.l.). Despite higher sales volumes and added value (in absolute terms), higher operating costs compared to the same quarter of the previous year led to an overall decrease in EBITDA.
{14}------------------------------------------------
The item depreciation, amortisation and impairment in the quarter amounted to 2,058 thousand Euro, compared with 1,970 thousand Euro in the same period of the previous year, an increase of 88 thousand Euro (65 thousand Euro net of amortisation/depreciation of the assets held by CZ Elettronica S.r.l.).
EBIT in the third quarter of 2025 amounted to 3,035 thousand Euro (9.2% of revenues), compared with 4,105 thousand Euro in the same period of 2024 (12.8% of revenues), a decrease of 1,070 thousand Euro (1,112 thousand Euro without considering the contribution made by the new acquired subsidiaries, now held by CZ Elettronica S.r.l.). The change is the result of the same dynamics illustrated for EBITDA.
Losses from financial assets/liabilities in the third quarter of 2025 totalled 115 thousand Euro (in the third quarter of 2024, losses totalling 232 thousand Euro were entered), and included:
It should be noted that the transactions described in the introduction affected this item in an insignificant manner.
Losses from shareholdings valued at equity in the quarter, amounting to 1 thousand Euro, reflect the results reported by the subsidiary Axel S.r.l. Income in the third quarter of 2024 totalled 9 thousand Euro.
Taxes had a total negative balance of 751 thousand Euro in the quarter (as compared to a total negative balance of 953 thousand Euro in the third quarter of 2024). They consist of:
The net profit in the third quarter of 2025 amounted to 2,168 thousand Euro, compared with a profit of 2,929 thousand Euro in the same period of the previous year. The change, negative by 761 thousand Euro (800 thousand Euro, net of the contribution made by the companies acquired in April 2025, now held by CZ Elettronica S.r.l.), reflects the decrease in EBIT, only partially offset by the positive financial and fiscal management trend.
The Group net profit in the third quarter of 2025 was equal to 2,152 thousand Euro, while the minority share, represented (40%) by the shares of CZ Elettronica S.r.l., amounted to 16 thousand Euro.

Revenues at 30 September 2025 amounted to 105,130 thousand Euro, compared to 100,599 thousand Euro in the same period of the previous year, up by 4,531 thousand Euro (4.5%). The acquisition of the subsidiaries (CZ Elettronica S.r.l. and Mecatronica S.r.l., both of which are now held by CZ Elettronica S.r.l.) in April 2025 contributed to the increase in revenues, for a total amount of 1,468 thousand Euro, without which revenue growth would be 3,063 thousand Euro (3%).
Exchange rate fluctuations had a negative impact on this item, in particular due to the fluctuations of the Brazilian Real, Chinese Renmimbi, Indian Rupee and US dollar. Excluding this effect (estimated at 1,589 thousand Euro in total), growth in revenues compared to the previous year would increase to 6,120 thousand Euro (6.1%).
Analysing the order intake for the first nine months of 2025, compared to the figure for the same period in 2024, there was an increase (overall 4.2% which, net of order intake related to the acquired subsidiaries, would be 3.7%), driven by an increase in order intake for the sensors business (+7.7%). For the automation components business, order intake decreased compared to the first nine months of 2024 (-1.9%).
The backlog at the end of the third quarter showed an increase both compared to the figure at 31 December 2024 (+1%) and to the figure at 30 September 2024 (+3.7%, which would be +3% without the contribution of CZ Elettronica S.r.l.).
The table below shows the breakdown of revenues by geographical region as of 30 September.

The breakdown of revenues by geographical region, compared with the figure for the first three quarters of 2024, shows good performance across almost all areas in which the Group operates, with the most significant increase being recorded on the national market (+8.4%). As described for the quarter, the figure is positively affected by the revenues generated by the corporate acquisitions of April 2025. Without this effect, the increase in revenues in Italy would be more limited (+3.7%). Compared to 30 September 2024, there was also an increase in revenues in Europe (overall +1.4%), as well as in the Asia area (+6.2%, where exchange rate dynamics had a negative effect for the Chinese Renminbi and Indian Rupee, without which the increase would be +9.6%). With regard to the Americas there was a contraction (overall -0.6%) due to the negative effect of currency fluctuations, net of which there would be an increase in revenues compared to the previous year (+4.5%).
Below is a breakdown of revenues at 30 September 2025 by business area in comparison with the same period in the previous year.

Compared to the first three quarters of the previous year, revenues from the sensors segment increased overall by 7.1% (+9% net of exchange rate fluctuations) in all the geographical regions reached by this business (in particular in Italy and Asia). With regard to the automation components segment, growth was more limited (1.6%), influenced, among others, by the revenues contributed by the newly acquired company CZ Elettronica S.r.l., whose operating activities fall within the segment in question. Without considering this contribution, the revenues generated by the automation components segment decreased in the period compared to the same period of the previous year (-1.9%). For further details on the economic performance of each segment, please see the Business Areas section.
Increases for internal work during the period to 30 September 2025 amounted to 1,457 thousand Euro, down by 46 thousand Euro compared with the period ended 30 September 2024. This item represents the new product development costs incurred in the period that have been capitalised.
Added value at 30 September 2025 amounted to 75,711 thousand Euro (73,040 thousand Euro at 30 September 2024), corresponding to 72.0% of revenues (0.6% lower than the figure as at 30 September 2024). The increase in added value, totalling 2,671 thousand Euro (1,725 thousand Euro without considering the added value contributed by CZ Elettronica S.r.l.), mainly relates to the higher revenues posted, partially reduced by higher customs duties compared to the first nine months of the previous year (in particular linked to trade with the US subsidiary).
Other operating costs up to 30 September 2025 amounted to 17,718 thousand Euro, in absolute terms an increase of 851 thousand Euro compared with the same period of 2024 (an increase of 630 thousand Euro net of the effect of the acquisitions described in the introduction), corresponding to 16.9% of revenues (16.8% in the same period of 2024). Overall, the change is the result of higher costs for professional and consulting services (especially administrative and management consultancy), as well as for advertising and trade fairs, external processing and personnel training and search costs.
Personnel costs in the first nine months of 2025 amounted to 39,136 thousand Euro, compared with 36,765 thousand Euro in the same period of 2024. As a percentage of revenues, the ratio was 37.2% (36.5% as at 30 September 2024). The increase, in absolute terms, of 2,371 thousand Euro, is partly the result of the personnel acquired as a result of the operations described in the introduction (a total of 22 employees). Without considering this effect, personnel costs for the first nine months of the year would be 1,761 thousand Euro higher than the same previous period, reflecting the higher impact of the salary increase provided for by the National Collective Bargaining Agreement of June 2024 for all employees at the Group's Italian sites as well as the increase in staff to support the execution of the Group's strategy. Overall, the average number of employees in the first nine months of 2025 was 726 while in the same period of the previous year it was 673. For further details on the Group's workforce and its changes, please see the Human Resources section.
{18}------------------------------------------------
EBITDA in the period ended 30 September 2025 was positive by 18,857 thousand Euro (19,408 thousand Euro at 30 September 2024), corresponding to 17.9% of revenues (19.3% of revenues in 2024), which was lower than in the same period of the previous year by 551 thousand Euro (666 thousand Euro without considering EBITDA contributed by the newly acquired subsidiary). The higher added value generated by higher sales compared to the same period in the previous year was reduced by higher operating costs.
Depreciation, amortisation and impairment amounted to 6,042 thousand Euro, compared with 5,953 thousand Euro in the same period of the previous year.
EBIT at 30 September 2025 amounted to 12,815 thousand Euro (12.2% of revenues), compared with 13,455 thousand Euro in the same period of 2024 (13.4% of revenues), a decrease of 640 thousand Euro (720 thousand Euro without considering the contribution made by the new acquired subsidiary). The change is essentially the result of the same dynamics illustrated for EBITDA.
Losses from financial assets/liabilities in the first three quarters of 2025 amounted to 868 thousand Euro (in the first three quarters of 2024, losses of 134 thousand Euro were recorded), and included:
It should be noted that the transactions described in the introduction affected this item in an insignificant manner.
Losses from shareholdings valued at equity reflect the results reported by Axel S.r.l. and amounted to 6 thousand Euro, while at 30 September 2024 they totalled 23 thousand Euro.
In the first nine months of 2025, taxes were negative on the whole and amounted to 3,141 thousand Euro (on the whole negative by 3,252 thousand Euro in the same period of 2024). They consist of:
The net profit at 30 September 2025 amounted to 8,800 thousand Euro (8.4% of revenues), as compared with the positive result of 10,092 thousand Euro in the same period of the previous year (10% of revenues), a decrease of 1,292 thousand Euro (1,367 thousand Euro net of the contribution made by CZ Elettronica S.r.l.).
The Group net profit in the first three quarters of 2025 was equal to 8,770 thousand Euro, while the minority share, relating (40%) to the shares of CZ Elettronica S.r.l., amounted to 30 thousand Euro.

Net non-current assets at 30 September 2025 totalled 62,745 thousand Euro, compared with 59,756 thousand Euro at 31 December 2024. The main changes are indicated below:
{20}------------------------------------------------
Working capital as at 30 September 2025 was 10,663 thousand Euro, compared with 9,756 thousand Euro as at 31 December 2024, showing a total increase of 907 thousand Euro (a 113 thousand Euro decrease without considering the entries of the newly acquired CZ Elettronica S.r.l.). The main changes are illustrated below:
The provisions for risks and future liabilities totalled 1,257 thousand Euro and were essentially aligned with the figure for 31 December 2024, when they amounted to 1,265 thousand Euro. This item includes provisions for legal disputes (specifically, a lawsuit is currently pending against a former employee of the subsidiary Gefran Brazil), miscellaneous risks and the provision for product warranties.
Employee benefits amounted to 2,455 thousand Euro, compared with 2,131 thousand Euro on 31 December 2024. This item includes the post-employment benefit reserve (2,391 thousand Euro, of which 194 thousand Euro for employees of the newly-acquired CZ Elettronica S.r.l.), in addition to residual payables to employees who have signed agreements that protect the Company from competing activities (so-called Non-competition agreements, for 64 thousand Euro).
{21}------------------------------------------------
Shareholders' equity at 30 September 2025 amounted to 100,149 thousand Euro, up by 811 thousand Euro over the end of the year 2024. The change is related to the positive result for the period, equal to 8,800 thousand Euro, reduced by the change in the translation reserve, negative by 2,393 thousand Euro, and by the payment of dividends on the 2024 profit, totalling 6,107 thousand Euro. The effects of the acquisitions described in the introduction, positive overall by 477 thousand Euro, also contributed to the change in shareholders' equity. Finally, it should be noted that at 30 September 2025 the share of shareholders' equity attributable to the Gefran Group amounted to 99,642 thousand Euro, while the minority share amounted to 507 thousand Euro.
The net financial position at 30 September 2025 was positive and amounted to 31,277 thousand Euro, compared with the figure recorded at the end of the previous year, which was positive by 34,155 thousand Euro.
The total comprises net short-term cash and cash equivalents of 46,370 thousand Euro and net medium/long-term debt of 15,093 thousand Euro.
This item also includes the effect of applying IFRS 16, leading to the recording of financial payables in the amount of 3,727 thousand Euro as at 30 September 2025, of which 1,236 thousand Euro reclassified as current and 2,491 thousand Euro as non-current (overall 3,859 thousand Euro as at 31 December 2024, of which 1,195 thousand Euro reclassified as current and 2,664 thousand Euro as medium/long-term).
No new loans were arranged during the first nine months of 2025.
The change in net financial position, down by 2,878 thousand Euro compared to 31 December 2024, mainly reflects the positive cashflow generated by ordinary operations (16,785 thousand Euro), as partly absorbed by the disbursements for technical investments made during the first nine months of the year (5,066 thousand Euro) and for the operations described in the introduction and in Significant events as of 30 September 2025, relating to the acquisition of a stake in 40Factory S.r.l. (4,000 thousand Euro), equal to 22% of its share capital, and of a 60% majority stake in CZ Elettronica S.r.l., recognised among the subsidiaries of Gefran S.p.A. (739 thousand Euro, net of acquired cash). The payment of dividends on the 2024 results in the second quarter of 2025 (6,107 thousand Euro), as well as taxes and rental fees (totalling 2,574 thousand Euro), contributed to the decrease in financial resources. In addition, the change in the Group's available financial position as at 30 September 2025 includes the negative effect of the exchange rate difference for foreign currencies compared with the previous year (estimated overall at 1,097 thousand Euro).
This item is analysed below:
{22}------------------------------------------------
| (Euro /000) | 30 September 2025 | 31 December 2024 | Change |

Cash flow from operations for the period was positive overall at 16,785 thousand Euro; in particular, operations in the first three quarters of 2025, netted of the effect of provisions, depreciation/ amortisation and financial items, generated cash of 20,472 thousand Euro (21,395 thousand Euro in the first three quarters of 2024). In the same period, the net change in other assets and liabilities generated resources of 234 thousand Euro (in the first three quarters of 2024 it had contributed resources of 1,414 thousand Euro) and the management of working capital, netted by the items of the newly acquired CZ Elettronica S.r.l., absorbed cash of 3,416 thousand Euro (5,012 thousand Euro in the same period of the previous year). The changes in provisions (risks and future liabilities, deferred taxes) absorbed 445 thousand Euro (377 thousand Euro in the first nine months of 2024).
With regard to investment activities, in the first three quarters of 2025 disbursements of 5,066 thousand Euro were recorded for the technical investments made (4,005 thousand Euro in the first nine months of 2024). It should also be noted that, as described in the Significant events as of 30 September 2025 section, an investment agreement was concluded for the acquisition of 22% of 40Factory S.r.l., leading to a cash outlay (4,000 thousand Euro), as well as for the acquisition of 60% of CZ Elettronica S.r.l. (together with its subsidiary Mecatronica S.r.l., now incorporated into its parent) which led to a further financial outlay (739 thousand Euro, net of the cash acquired).
Free cash flow (operating cash flow net of investing activities) at 30 September 2025 amounted to positive 6,986 thousand Euro (positive 13,197 thousand Euro at 30 September 2024).
Financing activities absorbed resources totalling 12,619 thousand Euro (a total of 14,678 thousand Euro in the first three quarters of 2024), of which 3,787 thousand Euro related to the repayment of non-current financial payables (6,889 thousand Euro as of 30 September 2024) and 6,107 thousand Euro for dividend payment (5,965 thousand Euro for the first nine months of 2024).

{25}------------------------------------------------
The Group's workforce at 30 September 2025 totalled 751 persons, up by 52 since the end of 2024 and by 58 since 30 September 2024.
This figure for the first nine months of the year includes the addition to the Group of the newly acquired company CZ Elettronica S.r.l., with a staff of 22 employees, including 8 manual workers and 14 clerical staff. In addition to this event, changes during the first nine months of 2025 are detailed as follows:
The change includes the stabilisation of 10 temporary workers (in Italy), which took place in early 2025.
As a result of the change, the Group's turnover rate, calculated on the average number of employees of 726, is 19% which, net of the effect of the aforesaid acquisition, would be 16%



{26}------------------------------------------------
The operation is based on an awareness of the strategic importance of data for modern manufacturing companies. Their collection, management, and analysis are essential to optimize processes, improve efficiency, and support decisions. Indeed, thanks to the expertise and IoT services of 40Factory, Gefran is developing its ability to process and transform data collected in the field into more valuable information for customers, further strengthening its role as a strategic partner in the digital and sustainable transformation of production processes.
The Board of Directors also resolved to propose to the Shareholders' Meeting the distribution of a dividend of 0.43 Euro per share in circulation (not including own shares), through use of the necessary amount of the retained earnings reserve.
Moreover, the Board of Directors resolved to propose to the Shareholders' Meeting to allocate part of the net profit for 2024 to a specific reserve pursuant to Article 1, para. 436 – 444 of Law No. 207 of 30 December 2024, and to allocate the remaining part of 2024 profit to the retained earnings reserve, in line with the Group's value creation strategy for its shareholders, safeguarding the Group's growth.
During the same meeting, the Board resolved to propose to the Shareholders' Meeting approval of the authorisation to purchase and dispose of, on one or more occasions, a maximum of 1,440,000.00 ordinary shares in the Company, equal to 10% of its share capital. The authorisation was requested for a period of 18 months from the date of the shareholders' resolution.
The agreement provides for Gefran's entry into the shareholding structure of CZ Elettronica S.r.l. through the sale of shares, following which Gefran S.p.A. will hold a 60% stake in the share capital for a total consideration of 870,000 Euro.
CZ Elettronica S.r.l. specializes in the development of custom turnkey plant solutions for the steel, textile and plastic sectors, and manufactures systems for regulating industrial motorization, standing out on the market for its constant innovation, its use of the most modern digital technologies and its team of highly qualified technicians.
{27}------------------------------------------------
With this operation, Gefran integrates and enriches its wealth of expertise by strengthening its ability to offer tailor-made application solutions to its customers.
The Shareholders' Meeting, pursuant to Article 123-ter of the Consolidated Law on Finance, also held a binding vote that approved the Group's 2025 Remuneration Policy and also held an advisory and non-binding vote that approved its 2024 Remuneration Report.
{28}------------------------------------------------
In light of the current geopolitical and economic scenario, the most recent estimates, published by the International Monetary Fund, predict a slight slowdown in global growth compared to the previous year. For 2025, growth is estimated at 3.2%, compared to 3.3% in 2024, with a further downward trend for 2026, when it is estimated to decrease to 3.1%. The gap between projections for advanced economies (with growth projected at 1.6% in 2026) and emerging markets (for which the overall estimate is 4%, rising to 4.7% in Asian markets) remains significant. Inflation is expected to continue to decline, however unevenly across countries and with persistent risks: in the United States it will remain above target, with upside risks, while in other advanced economies it will be more contained.
With regard to the Eurozone, GDP is projected to grow by 1.2% in 2025, up from 0.9% in 2024, and then to fall to 1.1% in 2026. As for the national scenario, according to the IMF, growth is estimated at 0.5% in 2025 (it was 0.7% in 2024), returning to 0.8% in 2026.
The analysis is also confirmed by the economic bulletin published in October by the Bank of Italy, which highlights the uncertainty that is continuing to influence trade relations and global growth in the medium term. As expected, protective trade policies, which have penalised international trade, have been producing effects since the second quarter.
According to the Bank of Italy, national GDP fell slightly in the second quarter of 2025, reflecting the sharp decline in exports, as was also observed in other Eurozone countries. However, in the third quarter, the Italian economy, albeit to a modest extent, expanded again thanks to increases in investments (thanks to favourable financing, fiscal conditions, and measures related to the NRRP), as well as a slight increase in consumption. Activity grew in the services and construction sectors, while it remained weak in manufacturing.
{29}------------------------------------------------
At the end of the third quarter of 2025, the Group confirmed revenue growth on an annual basis (+4.5% compared to the first nine months of 2024), driven in particular by the sensors business (+7.1%) and the contribution of recent acquisitions, despite the complex macroeconomic context and negative currency pressures that penalised results in some areas, especially in Asia and the United States. Investments in product innovation and manufacturing processes continued, strengthening the Group's competitiveness.
Operating margins remain positive, despite an increase in operating costs and a reduction in net profit compared to the same period in 2024, mainly due to currency fluctuations and a different product and geographical mix. However, the Group's capital and financial strength allow us to look with confidence at the end of the year.
In light of the results of the first nine months and the dynamics observed in the third quarter, the Group is expected to be able to close 2025 with moderate revenue growth compared to the previous year, consolidating a positive margin. Management will continue to closely monitor the evolution of international markets, in particular currency trends and demand in the relevant industrial sectors, maintaining a focus on product innovation. The goal remains to strengthen the Group's competitive position and generate sustainable value for all stakeholders .
As at 31 December 2024, Gefran S.p.A. held 198,405 shares, equal to 1.38% of the total, with an average book value of 8.6483 Euro per share, and a total value of 1,716 thousand Euro.
During the first nine months of 2025, as at the date of this publication, no trading activities took place; therefore, the situation is unchanged with respect to what is described above.
On 12 November 2010, the Board of Directors of Gefran S.p.A. approved the "Internal Procedure for Transactions with Related Parties", in accordance with Consob Resolution no. 17221 of 12 March 2010. The procedure in question was subsequently updated by the Board of Directors, on 24 June 2021, to implement the new provisions of EU Directive 2017/828 (so-called "Shareholders' Rights II"), which was transposed into Italian law by Decree no. 49/2019, with regard to primary legislation, and by Consob Resolution no. 21624 of 10 December 2020, with regard to secondary legislation.
This document is published in the section "Investor Relations/Governance/Documents, procedures and shareholders' agreements" of the Company's website, available at https://www.gefran.com/governance/documents-and-procedures/.

The following information on Group company dealings with related parties during the first nine months of 2025 and 2024 is provided in accordance with IAS 24.
Transactions with related parties are part of normal operations and the typical business of each entity involved and are carried out under normal market conditions. There have not been any atypical or unusual transactions.
Noting that the economic and equity effects of consolidated infragroup transactions are eliminated in the consolidation process, the most significant1 dealings with related parties are listed below. These transactions have no material impact on the Group's economic and financial structure. They are summarised in the following tables:

{33}------------------------------------------------
Revenues from the business as at 30 September 2025 amounted to 69,238 thousand Euro, an increase compared to the figure as at 30 September 2024, which amounted to 64,678 thousand Euro, recording a percentage increase of 7.1%. Exchange rate fluctuations had a negative impact on this item (in particular due to the fluctuations of the Brazilian Real, Chinese Renmimbi, Indian Rupee and US dollar). Excluding this effect (estimated at 1,265 thousand Euro in total for the business in question), growth in revenues compared to the same period of the previous year would be 9%.
In particular, revenue growth was driven by sales of melt and industrial pressure product families.
From a geographical point of view, the increase in revenues in the first nine months of the year (compared with the same period of the previous year) was recorded in all areas served by the Group, with positive double-digit percentage changes for the national market (+16.3%). Revenues also increased in Europe (+3.6%), in the Americas (+3.5%, which, net of the negative effect of currencies, would be +8.6%), as in Asia (+6.2%, which, without the effect of exchange rate fluctuations, would be +9.8%).
Positive signs were also recorded in orders received for the sensors business in the first nine months of 2025, totalling 68,727 thousand Euro, an increase over the figure for the same period of 2024 (+7.7%). The backlog at 30 September 2025 was higher than at 30 September 2024 (+16.1%), though slightly lower when compared to the closing figure of 2024 (-0.8%).
Turning to the third quarter of 2025, revenues amounted to 22,010 thousand Euro, up by 5.3% compared with the same period in 2024, when they totalled 20,895 thousand Euro. The figure for the quarter is also influenced by currency dynamics, without which the increase in revenues compared to the same previous quarter would be 7.3%.
EBITDA for the period ended 30 September 2025 amounted to 15,757 thousand Euro (22.8% of the business unit's revenues), largely positive and up by 336 thousand Euro compared with 30 September 2024, when it was 15,421 thousand Euro (23.8% of revenues). The change in EBITDA compared to the same period of the previous year is essentially attributable to higher sales volumes, partly reduced by the increase in customs duties, in particular for trade with subsidiaries, and by the higher costs incurred both for the operational management of the business and for the strengthening of the workforce to support the commercial strategy.
EBIT as at 30 September 2025 amounted to 12,300 thousand Euro, equal to 17.8% of revenues, compared with an EBIT of 11,929 thousand Euro in the same period in the previous year (18.4% of revenues), an increase of 371 thousand Euro. The change in the figure for the first three quarters of 2025 compared to the same period in the previous year was mainly due to the same dynamics illustrated for EBITDA.
Comparing the figures by quarter, EBIT in the third quarter of 2025 amounted to 3,177 thousand Euro (14.4% of revenues), compared with 4,117 thousand Euro (19.7% of revenues) in the same quarter of 2024. EBIT in the quarter reflects the higher operating costs required to execute the business strategy.
Investments in sensors in the first nine months of 2025 amounted to 3,129 thousand Euro, and included investments in "Intangible assets" equal to 765 thousand Euro, of which 553 thousand Euro related to the capitalization of research and development costs for new products (for the remaining part they refer to the purchase of software programmes and licenses and to the development of the company's management software).
{34}------------------------------------------------
Increases in "Tangible assets" totalled 2,364 thousand Euro. They included enhancing the production lines of the business through the installation of new production and laboratory equipment, partly made within the Group, both in foreign production sites (specifically, 169 thousand Euro were invested in the Chinese facility) and in the Parent Company Gefran S.p.A. (investments totalling 1,452 thousand Euro, with the aim of increasing the efficiency of production departments).

{35}------------------------------------------------


At 30 September 2025, business revenues amounted to 42,100 thousand Euro, up 1.6% compared to 30 September 2024, when they amounted to 41,438 thousand Euro (a 2.4% increase net of the negative effect of exchange rate fluctuations, particularly the Brazilian Real). The entry into the Group of CZ Elettronica S.r.l., as described in Significant events as of 30 September 2025, for a total amount of 1,468 thousand Euro, contributed to the increase in revenues. Without considering this effect, revenues for the first nine months of 2025 would be down 1.9% compared to the same period in 2024.
Analysing the trend by product family, there was a decrease in the products of the instrument family (-8.3%), which was lower for the products of the power control family (-2%). Sales of products in the solution range, within which the products manufactured by the newly acquired CZ Elettronica S.r.l. fall, went up instead (by a total of +6.8%).
In the analysis of revenues by geographical region, compared with those recorded in the first nine months of 2024, revenues increased in the national market (+5.1%), mainly due to the revenues generated by the newly acquired CZ Elettronica S.r.l. On the other hand, revenues decreased in Europe (overall -2.8%) and in the Americas (overall -10.2%), the latter area being affected by the fluctuations of the Brazilian Real and the US dollar (not taking into account the negative exchange rate fluctuations, the decrease in revenues compared to the same quarter of the previous year would be -5.1%).
Order intake in the first nine months of 2025 amounted to 35,595 thousand Euro and was overall lower than the figure for the same previous period (1.9%, falling to -3.2% without the contribution made by the newly acquired subsidiary CZ Elettronica S.r.l.). The backlog as at 30 September 2025 was lower than as at 30 September 2024 (-12.7%) though up compared to the end of 2024 (+4.4%).
Turning to the third quarter of 2025, revenues amounted to 13,028 thousand Euro, up by 1.4% compared with the same period in 2024, when they totalled 12,846 thousand Euro. However, without considering the revenues generated in the quarter by the newly acquired subsidiary CZ Elettronica S.r.l., they would be down by 4.3%.
{36}------------------------------------------------
EBITDA for the period ended 30 September 2025 rose to 3,100 thousand Euro (equal to 7.4% of revenues), down 887 thousand Euro compared to the figure reported at 30 September 2024 of 3,987 thousand Euro (9.6% of revenues). Considering the same scope, thus excluding EBITDA contributed by CZ Elettronica S.r.l. (which joined the Group in April 2025), EBITDA for the first nine months of 2025 would be down by 1,002 thousand Euro compared to the same period of the previous year. Overall, the change is mainly attributable to lower sales margins, due to the different product and geographical mix, as well as higher customs duties incurred for trade with subsidiaries. Higher personnel costs necessary to strengthen the business's workforce also contributed to the decrease in EBITDA in the period compared with the same period of the previous year.
EBIT in the first three quarters of 2025 was positive at 515 thousand Euro (1.2% of revenues). This compares with a positive EBIT at 30 September 2024 of 1,526 thousand Euro (3.7%), showing a decrease of 1,011 thousand Euro (which would amount to 1,081 thousand Euro when considering the same scope of consolidation). The change in EBIT compared with the comparative period is attributable to the same dynamics described for EBITDA.
Comparing the figures by quarter, EBIT in the third quarter of 2025 was negative by 142 thousand Euro (-1.1% of revenues), compared with the negative figure of 12 thousand Euro (0.1% of revenues) in the same quarter of 2024. The decrease, amounting to 130 thousand Euro, mainly relates to the lower margin on sales in the quarter compared to the same period of the previous year, influenced both by the different composition of sales for the period and by the higher impact of customs duties, as well as higher operating costs required for the execution of the business strategy.
Investments in the first nine months of 2025 totalled 1,937 thousand Euro. Investments in "Intangible assets" amounted to 950 thousand Euro, of which 828 thousand Euro referred to the capitalisation of development costs for the new range of static units and new programmable automation products. The remainder related to the purchase of software programmes and licences as well as to the development of the company's management software.
Investments in "Tangible assets" amounted to 987 thousand Euro, of which 911 thousand Euro were made by the Parent Company Gefran S.p.A. (427 thousand Euro for the introduction of production machinery to increase the capacity and production efficiency required for new products and 251 thousand Euro for the renewal of buildings housing the business's operating activities).

Gefran S.p.A. is incorporated and domiciled in Italy, with registered office at Via Sebina 74, Provaglio d'Iseo (BS).
This Interim report of the Gefran Group for the quarter ending on 30 September 2025 was approved by the Board of Directors on 13 November 2025, which authorised its publication.
The Company prepared this document in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) issued by the IASB and approved by the European Union pursuant to Regulation (EC) no.1606/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 19 July 2002, and in particular IAS 34 – Interim financial statements.
The same accounting policies adopted to prepare the Annual financial report as at 31 December 2024 were also used to prepare this Interim report. The Interim report for the quarter ending 30 September 2025 does not contain all the additional information required in the Annual financial report, and should be read in conjunction with the said document prepared for the year ending 31 December 2024 in accordance with IFRS.
Material transactions with related parties and non-recurring items, if any, have been detailed in separate accounting schedules, as required by Consob Resolution no. 15519 of 27 July 2006.
This Interim report for the quarter ending 30 September 2025 is consolidated on the basis of the income statement and statement of financial position figures of Gefran S.p.A. and its subsidiaries related to the first nine months of 2025, prepared in accordance with international accounting standards. The above accounting schedules were prepared using measurement criteria consistent with those of the Parent Company, or were adjusted on consolidation.
The Interim report is not subject to auditing.
This consolidated interim report is presented in Euro, which is the functional currency of most Group companies. Unless otherwise stated, all amounts are expressed in thousands of Euro.
For details on the seasonal nature of the Group's operations, reference should be made to the attached "Consolidated income statement by quarter".
The consolidation principles and measurement criteria adopted for the preparation of this Interim report as at 30 September 2025 are the same as those adopted in preparing the annual financial report for the year ending 31 December 2024.
Consistent with the requirements of document no.2 of 6 February 2009 issued jointly by the Bank of Italy, Consob and ISVAP, it should be noted that this Interim report of the Gefran Group is prepared on a going concern basis.
{43}------------------------------------------------
With reference to Consob Communication DEM/11070007 of 5 August 2011, it is also noted that the Group does not hold in its portfolio any bonds issued by central or local governments or government agencies, and is therefore not exposed to risks generated by market fluctuations. The consolidated interim report was prepared using the general historical cost criterion, as amended as required for evaluating certain financial instruments.
With reference to Consob Communication 0092543 dated 3 December 2015, it is noted that the Report on operations follows the ESMA guidelines (ESMA/2015/1415) for the disclosures needed to ensure the comparability, reliability and understandability of the Alternative Performance Indicators.
It should also be noted that the Company has applied the amendment "Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a Single Transaction" issued by the IASB on 7 May 2021 and referring to IAS 12 "Income Taxes". The application is effective from 1 January 2023 and the effects are detected from the first comparative year presented (modified retrospective basis).
Finally, with reference to the amendment called "International Tax Reform-Pillar Two Model Rules-Amendments to IAS 12 (the Amendments)" published by the IASB on 23 May 2023, it should be noted that the rules of the Pillar Two Model Rules apply to multinational groups with revenues in their Consolidated Financial Statements exceeding 750 million Euro, in at least two of the four previous financial years. For this reason as well, all the amendments related to the so-called "Global Antibase Erosion Model Rules", including the one published by the IASB on 23 May 2023 and aimed at simplifying deferred tax accounting, are not applicable to the Gefran Group.
The scope of consolidation as at 30 September 2025 is different from both the one as at 30 September 2024 and the one as at 31 December 2024, since in the first quarter of 2025 Gefran S.p.A. completed the acquisition of 22% of 40Factory S.r.l., recorded among the shareholdings valued at equity. This shareholding is accounted for "at cost" as the value of the Company's shareholders' equity is not representative of its value, since implicit goodwill emerged at the time of acquisition.
In addition, in the second quarter of 2025 Gefran S.p.A. acquired a 60% interest in CZ Elettronica S.r.l. together with its subsidiary Mecatronica S.r.l., now incorporated into its parent, which is registered among the Parent Company's subsidiaries. Note that in the diagrams appearing in the Specific explanatory notes to the accounts regarding changes in this item, the column "Change in consolidation scope" represents the effect of the change in this item following the said acquisition.
On 14 April 2025 Gefran S.p.A. purchased 60% of the shares in CZ Elettronica S.r.l. for a payment of 870 thousand Euro, paid on that date, without resorting to loans. The transaction also included the acquisition of 60% of Mecatronica S.r.l., a subsidiary of CZ Elettronica S.r.l., incorporated (deed of merger) into its parent on 4 September 2025, as described in Significant events as of 30 September 2025.

| Fair value of net assets acquired (B) | 715 |
| Difference of value paid (AB) | 155 |
The Group provisionally booked the business combination under goodwill, reserving the right to complete the cost allocation method within twelve months of the acquisition date.

The historical cost increases of property, plant, machinery and tools in the first nine months of 2025 totalled 3,351 thousand Euro. The most significant changes relate to:
The increases include 76 thousand Euro on the capitalisation of internal costs (109 thousand Euro in the first nine months of 2024).
It should also be noted that the entry of CZ Elettronica S.r.l. into the Group (in the second quarter of 2025, as described in the Significant events as of 30 September 2025 section) resulted in an increase in net tangible assets of 20 thousand Euro, as highlighted in the "Change in consolidation scope" column (historical cost of 584 thousand Euro and accumulated depreciation of 564 thousand Euro).
Overall, the change in exchange rate had a negative impact of 913 thousand Euro on the item.

"Net Working Capital" totalled 23,393 thousand Euro, compared with 20,216 thousand Euro as at 31 December 2024, and is analysed below:
| (Euro /000) | 30 September 2025 |

| Trade payables | (18,760) | (18,795) | 35 |
| Net amount | 23,393 | 20,216 | 3,177 |
It should be noted that the entry of CZ Elettronica S.r.l. into the Group (in the second quarter of 2025, as described in the Significant events as of 30 September 2025 section) resulted in an increase in working capital at 30 September 2025 of a total of 1,373 thousand Euro (consisting of: inventories of 538 thousand Euro, trade receivables of 1,188 thousand Euro and trade payables of 353 thousand Euro).
The value of inventories at 30 September 2025 was 16,825 thousand Euro, an increase of 1,078 thousand Euro compared to 31 December 2024 (an increase of 540 thousand Euro when excluding the effect of the acquisitions). The balance is analysed as follows:
{48}------------------------------------------------
| (Euro /000) | 30 September 2025 |
31 December 2024 | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Raw materials, consumables and supplies | 8,771 | 8,867 | (96) |
| provision for impairment of raw materials | (1,476) | (1,318) | (158) |
| Work in progress and semi-finished products | 6,767 | 5,734 | 1,033 |
| provision for impairment of work in progress | (801) | (467) | (334) |
| Finished products and goods for resale | 5,048 | 4,268 | 780 |
| provision for impairment of finished products | (1,484) | (1,337) | (147) |
| Total | 16,825 | 15,747 | 1,078 |
The gross value of inventories totalled 20,586 thousand Euro, an increase of 1,717 thousand Euro compared to the end of 2024 (1,179 thousand Euro net of the value of inventories resulting from the acquisitions). At 31 December 2024 it amounted to 18,869 thousand Euro.
Exchange rate fluctuations in the first nine months of the year had a negative effect of 409 thousand Euro.
The economic impact of the change in inventories saw a more limited increase compared to 31 December 2024 of 752 thousand Euro, since the average progressive exchange rate for the year is used for the economic recognition of events.
The provision for obsolete and slow-moving inventories was adjusted as necessary during the first nine months of 2025, through specific provisions totalling 1,139 thousand Euro (compared with 1,316 thousand Euro in the first nine months of 2024), while releases for surplus were recognised in the amount of 12 thousand Euro (releases of 35 thousand Euro in the same period of 2024).
The changes in the allowance during the first nine months of 2025 and 2024 are analysed below:
| (Euro /000) | 31 December 2024 |
Provisions | Uses | Releases | Exchange rate differences |
30 September 2025 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Provision for impairment of inventory |
3,122 | 1,139 | (420) | (12) | (68) | 3,761 |

30 September 2024 |
| Provision for impairment of inventory |
4,427 | 1,316 | (412) | (35) | (25) | 5,271 |
Trade receivables amounted to 25,328 thousand Euro, compared with 23,264 thousand Euro on 31 December 2024, an increase of 2,064 thousand Euro (876 thousand Euro when excluding the increase related to the entries of the newly acquired subsidiary CZ Elettronica S.r.l.):
{49}------------------------------------------------
| (Euro /000) | 30 September 2025 |
31 December 2024 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Receivables from customers | 26,271 | 24,160 | 2,111 |
| Provision for doubtful receivables | (943) | (896) | (47) |
| Net amount | 25,328 | 23,264 | 2,064 |
The increase compared to the end of the previous year is consistent with the slight increase in the number of average days for collection compared to the average of 2024, as well as with the level of revenues generated in the second and third quarters of 2025, an increase compared to the last two quarters of the previous year.
Receivables are adjusted to their estimated realisable value by the allowance for doubtful accounts, which is determined by analysing individual debtor positions and considering past experience in each business area and geographical region, as required by IFRS 9. The provision at 30 September 2025 represents an estimate of the current risk after the following changes (all at 30 September 2024):
| (Euro /000) | 31 December 2024 |
Provisions | Uses | Releases | Exchange rate differences |
30 September 2025 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Provision for doubtful receivables | 896 | 74 | (12) | (11) | (4) | 943 |
| (Euro /000) | 31 December 2023 |
Provisions | Uses | Releases | Exchange rate differences |
30 September 2024 |
| Provision for doubtful receivables | 1,035 | 7 | (117) | (30) | (11) | 884 |
The value of uses of the provision includes the coverage of losses on receivables that are no longer recoverable. The Group monitors the receivables most at risk and also initiates appropriate legal action. The carrying value of trade receivables is deemed to approximate their fair value.
In addition, there is no significant concentration of sales to individual customers: this phenomenon involves less than 5% of Group revenues.
Trade payables totalled 18,760 thousand Euro, compared to 18,795 thousand Euro as at 31 December 2024. This item is analysed below:
| (Euro /000) | 30 September 2025 | 31 December 2024 | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Payables to suppliers | 15,694 | 16,740 | (1,046) |
| Payables to suppliers for invoices to be received | 3,066 | 2,055 | 1,011 |
| Total | 18,760 | 18,795 | (35) |
Trade payables decreased by 35 thousand Euro compared to 31 December 2024 (388 thousand Euro net of the entries of the newly acquired subsidiary CZ Elettronica S.r.l.).
{50}------------------------------------------------
The net financial position is analysed in the following table:
| (Euro /000) | 30 September 2025 |
31 December 2024 |
Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cash and cash equivalents and current financial receivables | 52,899 | 59,629 | (6,730) |
| Financial assets for derivatives | 10 | 34 | (24) |
| Other non-current financial investments | 102 | 104 | (2) |
| Non-current financial payables | (12,478) | (16,269) | 3,791 |
| Non-current financial payables for IFRS 16 leases | (2,491) | (2,664) | 173 |
| Current financial payables | (5,293) | (5,173) | (120) |
| Current financial payables for IFRS 16 leases | (1,236) | (1,195) | (41) |
| Financial liabilities for derivatives | (236) | (311) | 75 |
| Total | 31,277 | 34,155 | (2,878) |
The net financial position at 30 September 2025 was positive by 31,277 thousand Euro, down by 2,878 thousand Euro since the end of 2024, when it was positive by 34,155 thousand Euro.
The decrease in net financial position mainly reflects the positive cashflow generated by ordinary operations (16,785 thousand Euro), as partly absorbed by the disbursements for technical investments made during the first nine months of the year (5,066 thousand Euro), and for the operations described in Significant events as of 30 September 2025, relating to the acquisition of a stake in 40Factory S.r.l. (4,000 thousand Euro), equal to 22% of its share capital, and of a 60% majority stake in CZ Elettronica S.r.l., recognised among the subsidiaries of Gefran S.p.A. (739 thousand Euro, net of acquired cash). The payment of dividends on the 2024 results in the second quarter of 2025 (6,107 thousand Euro), as well as taxes and rental fees (totalling 2,574 thousand Euro), contributed to the decrease in financial resources. In addition, the change in the Group's available financial position as at 30 September 2025 includes the negative effect of the exchange rate difference for foreign currencies compared with the previous year (estimated overall at 1,097 thousand Euro).
The balance of cash and cash equivalents amounted to 52,899 thousand Euro as of 30 September 2025, as compared to 59,629 thousand Euro on 31 December 2024. This item is analysed below:
| (Euro /000) | 30 September 2025 | 31 December 2024 | Change |

In order to support its current assets, the Group has various credit lines available from banks and other financial institutions, mainly in the form of advances against invoices, cash flexibility and mixed credit lines totalling 26,650 thousand Euro. As of 30 September 2025 there is no use of these lines, so the remaining liquid assets are equal to the total amount granted. No fees are due if these lines are not used.
Current financial payables as at 30 September 2025 posted an increase in the amount of 120 thousand Euro compared to the end of 2024; they break down as follows:

It should be noted that the loan with Crédit Agricole requires compliance with a financial parameter (covenant), calculated at the consolidated level, and in particular the ratio of net financial debt (NFP) to EBITDA < 3.25x. Failure to comply with the ratio could result in the lending institution being entitled to demand repayment. The verification of contractual constraints is updated on a quarterly basis by the Administration, Finance and Control Director and, specifically, the ratio as at 30 September 2025 is largely respected. The loan, therefore, is represented according to the forms originally provided for in the contract.
With the exception of the contract described above, none of the loans outstanding at 30 September 2025 has clauses requiring compliance with economic and financial requirements (covenants).
No new loans were arranged during 2025.
Variable rate payables expose the Group to a risk arising from interest rate volatility. In this regard, the Group's Administration and Finance Department monitors the exposure to interest rate risk and proposes appropriate hedging strategies to contain the exposure within the limits defined and agreed in the Group's policies, using derivatives, Interest Rate Swap (IRS) and Interest Rate Cap (CAP) when necessary.
All derivatives outstanding at 30 September 2025 are stipulated by the Parent Company to hedge the interest rate risk on variable rate loans, which could occur in the event of a change in the Euribor. As of 30 September 2025, no derivatives have been taken out to hedge exchange rate risk.
All derivatives were tested for effectiveness as at 30 September 2025, with positive results.
The financial assets for derivatives amounted to 10 thousand Euro, while the liabilities for derivatives amounted to 236 thousand Euro, due to the fair value of the individual contracts.

Financial payables for leases under IFRS 16 are classified on the basis of their maturity as either current payables (due within one year), amounting to 1,236 thousand Euro, or non-current payables (due beyond one year), amounting to 2,491 thousand Euro.

"Revenues from product sales" during the period ended 30 September 2025 amounted to 104,051 thousand Euro, up 4.4% compared with those reported at 30 September 2024, which amounted to 99,659 thousand Euro. The acquisition of CZ Elettronica S.r.l. (which took place in April 2025) contributed to the increase in revenues, without which the increase over the first nine months of 2024 would be 2.9%.
Revenues from sales and services are analysed by business area in the following table:
| (Euro /000) | 30 September 2025 |
30 September 2024 |
Change | % |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sensors | 68,325 | 63,867 | 4,458 | 7.0% |
| Automation components | 35,726 | 35,792 | (66) | -0.2% |
| Total | 104,051 | 99,659 | 4,392 | 4.4% |
Total revenues include revenues from services of 2,068 thousand Euro (1,696 thousand Euro in the period ended 30 September 2024); see the section on Gefran consolidated results for information about the performance of the various business areas and geographical regions.
{56}------------------------------------------------
The "costs of raw materials and accessories" amounted to 31,628 thousand Euro, compared with 29,183 thousand Euro in the period ended 30 September 2024. The change is shown below:
| (Euro /000) | 30 September 2025 | Change | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Raw materials and accessories | 31,628 | 29,183 | 2,445 |
| Total | 31,628 | 29,183 | 2,445 |
The change posted, corresponding to an increase of 2,445 thousand Euro (1,923 thousand Euro when considering the same scope of consolidation), is due to the greater need for raw materials, in view of the increase in sales volumes in the first nine months of the year compared to the same period in 2024. In addition, there were higher customs duties and transport costs on purchases than in the same period of the previous year, which contributed to the increase in the item by 614 thousand Euro.
"Service costs" amounted to 17,130 thousand Euro, an overall increase of 776 thousand Euro compared with the total reported at 30 September 2024 of 16,354 thousand Euro (the increase, when considering the same scope of consolidation, would be 555 thousand Euro). They are analysed below:
| (Euro /000) | 30 September 2025 30 September 2024 |
Change | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Services | 16,614 | 15,766 | 848 |
| Use of third-party assets | 516 | 588 | (72) |
| Total | 17,130 | 16,354 | 776 |
Following the adoption of IFRS 16, the lease instalments for the period no longer charged to the income statement as operating costs amount to 1,087 thousand Euro (957 thousand Euro in the period ended 30 September 2024). Contracts that were excluded from the adoption of IFRS 16 based on the provisions of the principle itself, for which leasing fees are still recognised in the income statement, registered on 30 September 2025 costs for use of third-party assets in the amount of 516 thousand Euro (equal to 588 thousand Euro in the same period in 2024).
With reference to the item "Services", other than the rental fees described above, the item shows an increase of 848 thousand Euro in the first nine months of 2025 compared to the same period in the previous year. Overall, the change is the result of higher costs for professional and consulting services (especially administrative and management consultancy), as well as for advertising and trade fairs, external processing and personnel training and search costs.
"Personnel costs" amounted to 39,136 thousand Euro, posting an increase compared to the figure of 30 September 2024 of 2,371 thousand (1,761 thousand Euro without considering the costs brought on by the acquisition of CZ Elettronica S.r.l.). The change is shown below:
{57}------------------------------------------------
| (Euro /000) | 30 September 2025 | 30 September 2024 | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Salaries and wages | 29,610 | 27,711 | 1,899 |
| Social security contributions | 7,669 | 7,225 | 444 |
| Post-employment benefit reserve | 1,690 | 1,586 | 104 |
| Other costs | 167 | 243 | (76) |
| Total | 39,136 | 36,765 | 2,371 |
At the end of the third quarter, the Group had 751 employees, as compared to 693 at 30 September 2024 and 699 at 31 December 2024. During the first quarter of 2025, a total of 10 temporary workers were stabilised in Italian companies (in the first quarter of 2024, 31 temporary workers were stabilised in Italy).
In addition, personnel changes in 2025 include the effect of the entry into the Group of the newly acquired CZ Elettronica S.r.l. together with its subsidiary Mecatronica S.r.l., now incorporated into its parent, with a total workforce of 22 employees (8 of whom were manual workers and 14 clerical staff).
With the exception of stabilised temporary workers (whose labour costs were recorded in the item in question also in the previous year), the general increase in personnel costs compared to the costs incurred in the first nine months of 2024 is related to the strengthening of the workforce to support the execution of the Group's strategy.
"Social security contributions" include costs for defined contribution plans for management (Previndai and Azimut Previdenza pension plan) amounting to 109 thousand Euro (83 thousand Euro at 30 September 2024).
"Other costs", down by 76 thousand Euro compared to the same period in the previous year, mainly refer to commissions on sales paid to employees (121 thousand Euro at 30 September and 127 thousand Euro at 30 September 2024), as well as to restructuring charges arising from the reorganisation of Group companies (3 thousand Euro in the first nine months of 2025 and 81 thousand Euro in the same period of 2024).
Like the headcount figure, the average number of Group employees in the first nine months of 2025 also increased compared to the figure for the same period in 2024:
| 30 September 2025 | 30 September 2024 | Change | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Managers | 15 | 14 | 1 |
| Clerical staff | 465 | 435 | 30 |
| Manual workers | 246 | 224 | 22 |
| Total | 726 | 673 | 53 |
The net loss of 868 thousand Euro compares with a net loss of 134 thousand Euro in the period ended 30 September 2024, as analysed below:

| Total other financial income (charges) | (69) | (27) | (42) | |
| Gains (losses) from financial assets/liabilities | (868) | (134) | (734) |
Cash management, which was positive overall as at 30 September 2025, consists of income of 604 thousand Euro (945 thousand Euro as at 30 September 2024) and charges totalling 663 thousand Euro (751 thousand Euro as at 30 September 2024).
The balance of differences on currency transactions was negative, amounting to 740 thousand Euro compared with the first nine months of the previous year when it was negative by 301 thousand Euro. The change is primarily a result of the trend in exchange rates in effect between the Euro and the Indian Rupee and the Chinese renminbi.
The item "Other financial charges" includes financial charges on financial payables resulting from application of the new accounting standard IFRS 16, worth 73 thousand Euro in the first nine months of 2025 (31 thousand Euro in the same period of 2024).
