HALF-YEAR REPORT AS AT JUNE 30, 2025
JULY 31, 2025 REGULATED INFORMATION

Our history as a long-standing investment holding company is intertwined with our family foundations. As such, our mindset is one of collaboration and accountability. Our core values and the culture they generate are imperative.
Preserving our heritage does not preclude us from being forward thinking. We approach opportunities with a long-term perspective, yet act with a sense of urgency.
To effectively capture growth, identifying secular drivers is fundamental and therefore embedded in our investment processes. Such foresight lends itself to agile decision-making which is crucial in an increasingly volatile world that demands speed of action.
We are resolute in holding ourselves to a higher standard and are habitually sharpening our focus to enhance our performance. It is this unique ethos that will drive results and advance us closer to our vision.

Company profile > Interview with Chairman Ian Gallienne and Managing Director Johannes Huth
Ian Gallienne (IG): The group announced in March that Paul Desmarais, Jr. had asked to step down as Chairman of GBL's Board of Directors following the 2025 General Meeting. He remains a valued member of the Board, but now in the role of Vice Chairman.
Given my knowledge of the group and experience on numerous boards, I was appointed as his successor. I aim to lead the Board with the same level of dedication that Paul has consistently demonstrated over the years and would like to thank him for his contributions and support – both past and future.
To support the efficient functioning of the group, the Chairman and Managing Director roles at GBL are distinct. I therefore relinquished my executive responsibilities after 14 years at the helm.
IG: Indeed. Johannes was appointed to the position of Director at the most recent General Meeting and subsequently assumed my executive functions, in the role of CEO.
Johannes and I have known each other professionally for over twenty years. Given GBL's strategic shift toward direct private assets presented last November and his extensive experience (1) and track record in private equity – most recently at KKR as a Partner and the Chairman of EMEA – he was the obvious choice to lead the group's operations.
Johannes Huth ( JH): GBL is a leading and one of the largest investment holding companies in Europe. Our family foundations and culture as well as our flexibility and preference to invest for the long term differentiate GBL and can distinguish the group as a preferred partner for company founders. These unique features made the opportunity very compelling.
– Johannes Huth
JH: GBL is a fabulous business with a good strategy and an excellent and capable team. Most importantly, the cooperation with the Board of GBL and in particular its Chairman Ian Gallienne has been very close and positive.
JH: One of the motivating factors in my joining GBL was my conviction that the mid-term strategic objectives communicated in November last year are the right ones. These ambitions include growing the net asset value per share and generating a double-digit total shareholder return per annum.
Building upon the foundations that Ian has laid, I will focus on fostering a performance-based culture while continuing to enhance our team-based values.

– Ian Gallienne
JH: We are setting clear and demanding objectives, challenging each other and holding ourselves accountable for the results.
Ultimately, it is the success of our portfolio that determines how GBL employees, including myself, are rewarded. Performance incentives are structured via stock options and carried interest.
Stock options – composed primarily of GBL shares and to a lesser extent a combination of portfolio companies – are allocated annually to all employees.
In addition, given the portfolio evolution toward direct private assets, we have established a carried interest program. Such a program (2) is standard practice in private equity and has enabled us to attract and retain top talent. As a result, we have reinforced our investment team – in terms of geographic coverage and sector expertise – while maintaining an overall lean cost structure. These programs require personal financial investment, ensuring that our employees' interests are aligned with those of our shareholders.
JH: I believe that a Managing Director should have "skin in the game" to ensure alignment of his interests with those of the shareholders.
Moreover, I am confident that we can achieve our mid-term strategic objectives, including growth in the net asset value per share.
Demonstrating regular growth in our net asset value per share over time should result in share price appreciation.
JH: We continue to focus on sectors in which we have expertise – healthcare, business services, specialty industrials and consumer – and in which we see substantial value creation opportunities.
Given GBL's network in Europe, we are targeting companies that are headquartered on the continent, often with global reach. With six offices (4) in Europe, we offer and benefit from local expertise and close proximity to company founders and their activities.
With a liquidity of EUR4.8 billion and a Loan To Value of 1.6%, we have substantial financial firepower to execute when the opportunity is right. The amount of equity we can invest in any single transaction could vary but is expected to range from EUR 500 million to EUR 1.5 billion.
JH: Our healthcare assets Affidea and Sanoptis drove value creation, thanks to a combination of robust organic growth and dynamic M&A. These assets continue to prove their status as successful buy-and-build platforms and have created EUR 1.2 billion of value in just under three years. We are looking to replicate this type of success with future transactions.
(2) Additional information is available on page 47 of the Annual Report 2024
(3) Johannes Huth made a EUR 50 million personal investment in GBL shares in March 2025 (4) Brussels, London, Luxembourg, Milan, Munich, Paris
JH: As concerns the listed assets, although some posted strong share price appreciation, the overall result is below our expectations and does not adequately reflect these companies' demonstrated operational progress in areas such as innovation, capital allocation and M&A (5).
At GBL Capital and Sienna Investment Managers, we are focused on simplifying these structures and evaluating the longer-term strategy of these businesses.
IG: Delivering attractive cash returns to shareholders has been important in the past and remains so as part of our 2024 – 2027 strategy. We have committed to return over the period approximately EUR 3 billion, composed of dividends and share buybacks.
In May 2025, we paid a dividend per share of EUR 5.00, representing a material increase of more than + 80% and a yield of over 7% (6). Future dividends will be funded by capital gains on disposals as well as cash earnings.
In addition to the dividend, as we are convinced of the upside potential of GBL shares, we continue to execute our share buyback program. In H1 2025, we bought back EUR 170 million of GBL shares, raising total cash returns over the period to EUR 836 million. We are currently executing our seventh EUR 500 million buyback program.
Therefore, while overall cash returns will remain attractive, the composition – relative to the past – will be weighed more toward dividends than share buybacks.
IG: As an investment holding company, our mission is to be an efficient asset allocator and to manage a portfolio that can create value for our shareholders. Our portfolio will evolve, but what will remain constant is our culture as a long-term investor with a solid and stable family backing.
JH: The portfolio will gradually consist of a greater number of assets where we have control or co-control, with attractive return potential. While its composition will change, it will retain certain hallmarks typical at GBL, namely a high concentration of companies that are sector leaders with conservative leverage.

GBL continues to execute its strategy with discipline, with a focus on value creation and attractive shareholder returns.
GBL made solid progress toward its mid-term objectives (1) in H1 2025, despite a macroeconomic environment that remained challenging.
Through listed asset sales, the group has completed approximately half of the anticipated disposals, thereby generating sizeable capital gains to support a materially higher dividend per share. In addition, share buybacks – and cancellations – enhanced shareholder returns.
In direct private assets, the group showed prowess through an acceleration of value creation and will pursue the execution of this strategy with the appointment of Johannes Huth as Managing Director.
Significant progress toward the Strategy 2027 objectives, including in H1 2025:
Strategic refocusing of the portfolio on higher-margin, premium products with the disposal of the wine business and the announcement (6) of the sale of Imperial Blue

– + 14% (1) sales growth of the adidas brand, with double-digit increases across all markets and channels
– Increased exposure to high-growth end markets with the acquisition of Chemviron's European diatomite and perlite business in January 2025
– Successful rollout and accelerated momentum of new solutions, notably in AI, demonstrating the group's agility
Further successful execution of the expansion strategies, confirming these companies' status as buy-and-build platforms
– Pursual of the group's dynamic internationalization strategy, with leading market positions in four of the six countries where the group operates

– Closing of the sale of the US activities in May 2025, thereby rendering the portfolio almost exclusively European
– Cancellation of 5.2 million treasury shares following the Extraordinary General Meeting of May 2, 2025, reducing the outstanding number of shares to 133.2 million and supporting NAV per share

2.1 Description and ranking of the risks 16
An in-depth exercise for the identification of the risks faced by GBL and their ranking is carried every three years. Furthermore, the risks and their level of control are reviewed annually, notably based on changes in the portfolio, economic parameters or the control environment.
The summary table below categorizes the main risks related to GBL's activities and the various factors and measures mitigating their potential negative impact.

GBL is exposed simultaneously to:
A prioritization of risks specific to GBL, taking into account control activities in place, has been carried out and presented in the Annual Report 2024, based on the criteria of (i) impact (financial, reputational, legal or operational) and (ii) occurrence. Control activities encompass all measures taken by GBL to ensure that the identified key risks are appropriately controlled.
The risks described in the Annual Report 2024 and their assessment remain valid for the second half of 2025.

The participations in GBL's portfolio are exposed to specific risks related to their activities, risks to which GBL is indirectly exposed.
Each of the portfolio companies carries out its own analysis of its risk environment. The specific risks related to them are identified and addressed by the companies themselves within the framework of its own internal control and risk management. The works carried out by these companies on risk identification and internal control are described in the reference documents on their websites.

The H1 2025 NAV of the listed assets stood at EUR 7.4 billion, compared to EUR 9.1 billion at the end of FY 2024. The evolution reflects disposals of part of the group's SGS stake, which generated proceeds ofEUR 772 million. The portfolio benefitted from the strong double-digit share price increases of Umicore and Concentrix. However, these positive developments were more than compensated by the aggregate of the share price evolutions of the other participations, despite these companies' operational progress over the period.

Canyon is the world's largest Direct-to-Consumer ("DTC") manufacturer of premium bikes thanks to its early adoption of this distribution model and its industry-leading German design and engineering capabilities. The company is active in three segments (conventional bikes, e-bikes, parts and accessories). Its core markets are the DACH region, the US, Benelux, France and the UK.
Revenues and profitability were impacted by an ongoing challenging market environment marked by oversupply and aggressive discounting, especially in electric and non-electric mountain and urban bikes, while performance in Canyon's road and gravel segments remained robust. Europe, the group's largest market by far, continues to be strong for Canyon, while there has been softening consumer demand in Asia (China, in particular) and the US (due to tariff uncertainty).
Moreover, the temporary suspension of select electric mountain bike models (following quality issues identified in Q4 2024) weighed on performance. Canyon is actively providing solutions to affected customers.
Canyon is pursuing several initiatives to enhance performance, including a comprehensive review of its product portfolio and the implementation of efficiency measures. In parallel, Canyon is driving key strategic initiatives, including strengthening its omnichannel presence to bring the brand closer to riders, as showcased by the recently opened flagship store in Munich.
In H1 2025, Canyon maintained focus on innovation and product excellence, as evidenced by multiple awards, including:
Canyon's athletes continued to deliver landmark victories, including multiple stage wins at the Tour de France (Mathieu van der Poel, Jasper Philipsen) and Challenge Roth triathlon wins for Laura Philipp and Sam Laidlow.

Since its inception in 1967 as a small-sized Spanish operator, Parques Reunidos has become, through organic growth and acquisitions, one of the leading operators of leisure parks in Europe. The company operates amusement, animal and water parks through a portfolio of regional and local parks with strong brands, including Bobbejaanland (Belgium), Mirabilandia (Italy), Warner (Spain) and Tropical Islands (Germany).
Sales remained stable on a like-for-like basis as resilient spend per capita across most key countries and park types (theme, animal and water) was offset by a lower number of visitors.
In May 2025, the company closed the sale of its US business, thereby impacting the sales evolution over the period. Following the closing, the portfolio of parks is concentrated almost exclusively in Europe.

The valuation of funds and co-investments not detailed in sections 3.4.4 and 3.4.5 is as follows:
Valuation is based on IPEV Valuation Guidelines.
Investments in private equity funds or companies are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the General Partner, following written guidelines prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. For annual audited financial statements, the fair value of each investment is calculated by reference to these guidelines, with valuations typically based on the latest available information from the underlying fund managers or, for direct holdings, on internal assessments using recognized methodologies. There is no established market for most private equity interests, so valuations may be based on imperfect information and are subject to inherent uncertainties; as such, the values assigned may differ from those that would be realized in an active market or from prices ultimately achieved on sale. All valuations are reviewed at least annually and are final and conclusive as determined by the General Partner.
Listed securities are valued at their last traded prices.
Private investments are valued based on various methodologies including public company comparables, precedent transaction multiples and discounted cashflow analysis.
Investments which are quoted, listed or traded on or under the rules of a recognized market are valued at the closing price. The fair market value of any non-marketable investments shall be calculated not less frequently than annually and shall initially be determined by the AIFM in good faith and in accordance with GAAP.
Listed securities are valued at their closing price. For securities which are actively traded over the counter but not on a national securities exchange or comparable foreign national market, the value shall be deemed to be the mean between the last bid and ask prices. If there is no active public market, the valuation will be based on the valuation at the time of the prior financing round, adjusted for any companyor market-specific factors.
Investments which are quoted, listed or traded on or under the rules of a recognized market are valued at the closing price.
Investments that are quoted, listed, or traded on a recognized exchange are valued at their closing market price. For private or non-marketable investments, fair value is determined in good faith by the AIFM in consultation with the General Partner, using methodologies such as market comparables, precedent transactions, or discounted cash flow analysis, and in accordance with GAAP. Valuations are reviewed at least quarterly by the Valuation Committee, with audited financial statements provided annually to investors.
Quoted, listed, or traded investments are valued at their closing market price. For private or non-marketable holdings, fair value is determined in good faith by the General Partner, applying methodologies appropriate to the investment's nature and circumstances, and in line with accounting standards. Where market prices are unavailable, the valuation process relies on professional judgement and may involve reference to comparable transactions, recent financings, or other recognized valuation techniques. All valuations are reviewed periodically, and the General Partner may consult external advisors as needed, but retains ultimate discretion. The resulting values may differ from those realized in an active market or on sale, and all valuations are subject to the terms of the Fund Agreement.
Valuation is based on IPEV Valuation Guidelines.
Listed securities are valued at their closing price. For securities which are actively traded over the counter but not on a national securities exchange or comparable foreign national market, the value shall be deemed to be the mean between the last bid and ask prices. If there is no active public market, the valuation will be based on the valuation at the time of the prior financing round, adjusted for any company- or market-specific factors.
The valuation is prepared using industry-accepted valuation methodologies, primarily based on projected results and market multiples.
Depending on the circumstances, the valuation is based on the latest cost of investment, the latest fundraising round if it is a more recent valuation, or the expected realized value based on a combination of market data and the company's operational and financial projections.
Valuation is based on IPEV Valuation Guidelines. It is audited on a yearly basis by an internationally-recognized audit firm.
Undisclosed assets are valued according to methods above.

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the IFRS (International Financial Reporting Standards) as adopted by the European Union. The interim condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2025 are in conformity with IAS 34 Interim financial reporting and have been approved on July 31, 2025.
The accounting and calculation methods used in the interim condensed consolidated financial statements are identical to those used in the annual financial statements for 2024, apart from the application by the group of new standards or interpretations which have become mandatory since January 1, 2025. They did not have any material impact on GBL's consolidated financial statements.
The group did not anticipate the standards and interpretations applicable after January 1, 2025.
In the Holding segment, revenues received as dividends are generally higher during the first half of the year than during the second half.
In addition, the activities of each of the consolidated operating companies can present a seasonality specific to the sector in which they operate.
In terms of judgement, GBL analyzed the accounting treatment to be applied to the investments in Ontex, Umicore, SGS and Voodoo and particularly the classification in (i) investments in associates (IAS 28 Interests in Associates and Joint Ventures), with the recognition of GBL's share in the profit or loss and shareholders' equity of Ontex, Umicore, SGS and Voodoo, respectively, or (ii) in other equity investments (IFRS 9 Financial Instruments), with the recognition of the investment at its fair value and the recognition of the dividend through profit or loss.
In accordance with IAS 28, it is assumed that a group does not exercise significant influence if the percentage holding is less than 20.00%, unless it can be clearly demonstrated. According to this standard, significant influence is usually demonstrated in the case of (i) representation on the Board of Directors, (ii) participation in policy-making processes, (iii) material transactions between the investor and the company owned, (iv) the interchange of managerial personnel or (v) the supply of critical technical information.
As of June 30, 2025 these four investments are held respectively at 19.98%, 15.92%, 14.34 % and 14.99% (19.98%, 15.92%, 19.13 % and 15.04% respectively as of December 31, 2024). The representation on the Board of Directors of those companies is not sufficient to demonstrate the existence of significant influence. Moreover, representation on the Boards of Directors is limited to the mandates of the Directors and does not come from a contractual or legal right but from a resolution at General Shareholders' Meeting. Taking these different factors into account, GBL has entered into the accounting treatment of its investments in Ontex, Umicore, SGS and Voodoo as other equity investments as of June 30, 2025.
For other estimates and judgements, please refer to the 2024 Annual Report.

Finally, during the first half of 2025, the group also made other acquisitions that were not individually significant. These acquisitions resulted in a net movement of cash transferred amounting to EUR 76 million.
In March 2024, Imerys received a purchase offer from Flacks Group, an American investment fund, for a set of mining and industrial assets serving the paper market in America, Europe, and Asia. The assets and liabilities related to this transaction were classified as held for sale in accordance with IFRS 5, and depreciation ceased to be recognized from that date. An impairment loss of EUR - 11 million and transaction costs of EUR - 18 million related to the sale of this activity were recognized as of June 30, 2024.
The sale of the activity to Flacks Group was finalized on July 5, 2024, for a sale price of EUR 146 million, with payment staggered over time based on the future performance of the sold assets. The carrying amount of the sold asset was EUR 63 million. The currency translation differences recycled to the income statement on this transaction amounted to EUR - 301 million. The result of the sale was EUR - 316 million.
As of June 30, 2025, Imerys still holds three entities serving the paper market in Asia, whose sales to Flacks Group, contractually planned, have not yet been finalized.

Finally, during the first half of 2025, the group carried out individually insignificant disposals, which generated a net cash inflow of EUR 0 million.

As of June 30, 2025, GBL recorded EUR 167 million in dividends (EUR 202 million in 2024).
The decrease compared to June 30, 2024, is mainly due to (i) the reduction in the SGS dividend following the group's decreased stake in this participation in the first quarter of 2025 and (ii) the reduction in the dividend per share from Umicore.
The investments in listed companies are valued on the basis of the share price at the reporting date. The investments in unlisted companies are valued on a quarterly basis at their fair value in line with the International Private Equity and Venture Valuation Guidelines ("IPEV Valuation Guidelines"). Recent investments are valued at their acquisition cost, provided that these valuations are considered as the best estimates of fair value. Changes in the fair value are recognized in the revaluation reserves (see note 4.3).
Investments in funds owned by GBL Capital(1) are revalued at their fair value, as notably determined by the managers of these funds based on their investment portfolio. Changes in the fair value of these investments are recognized in financial income (loss) (see note 6).

On June 19, 2018, GBL placed a EUR 500 million institutional bond, with a 7-year maturity and a coupon of 1.875% and matured during the first half of 2025.
These issuances are intended to cover the group's general corporate purposes and lengthen the weighted average maturity of the gross debt.
On March 23, 2021, GBL announced the placement by its fully-owned subsidiary Sagerpar SA (the "Issuer") of EUR 500 million of bonds convertible into existing ordinary shares of GBL (the "Shares"). The bonds are fully guaranteed by GBL (the "Guarantor"). This issue initially relates to approximately 4.3 million treasury shares.
The bonds do not bear interests and had at placement a maturity of 5 years (April 1st, 2026), subject to early redemption. The bonds have been issued at an issue price of 101.25% of their principal amount and, unless previously redeemed, converted or purchased and cancelled, the bonds will be redeemed in cash at their principal amount at maturity (subject to the Issuer's share redemption option), which corresponds to an annual yield to maturity of - 0.25%. The initial conversion price of the bonds has been set at EUR 117.4928. The effective interest rate (including transaction costs allocated to the debt) stands at 0.02%.
The Issuer will have the option to redeem all, but not some only, of the bonds for the time being outstanding at their principal amount, at any time since April 16, 2024 provided that the volume-weighted average price of one Share on Euronext Brussels shall have exceeded 130% of the conversion price on each of not less than 20 trading days in any period of 30 consecutive trading days. The Issuer will have a share redemption option to deliver Shares and, as the case may be, an additional amount in cash upon redemption of the Bonds on the maturity date.
Bondholders may request the conversion of their bonds at any time since April 1st, 2021 until (and including) the 45th Brussels business day (included) prior to the maturity date, subject to the Issuer's option to satisfy the conversion rights in cash, shares or a combination thereof. If the Issuer elects to satisfy conversion rights in Shares, it intends to deliver existing Shares which the Issuer holds on behalf of the Guarantor as treasury shares.
The bonds are admitted to trading on the open market (Freiverkher) of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange. The carrying amount of these bonds (excluding the option) is EUR 500 million as of June 30, 2025. The option is assessed at fair value on the reporting date (EUR 0 million as of June 30, 2025).
On November 29, 2022, GBL (the"Issuer") issued bonds exchangeable into existing shares of Pernod Ricard SA ("Pernod Ricard") for an amount of EUR 500 million. The bonds initially related to 2.0 million Pernod Ricard shares representing approximately 1% of its share capital. The bonds have, at their issuance, a maturity of 3 years (November 29, 2025), except in case of early redemption, exchange or purchase and cancellation. The bonds carry a coupon of 2.125% per annum. The bonds were issued at an issue price of 100% of their principal amount and, unless previously redeemed, exchanged, or purchased and cancelled, will be redeemed at their principal amount at maturity on November 29, 2025.
The Issuer will have the option to redeem all, but not only some, of the bonds, at their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest until the relevant date fixed for redemption (i) at any time on or after the date falling 2 years and 21 days after the Issue Date, provided that the value of the exchange property (being initially only Pernod Ricard shares) per bond attributable to EUR 100,000 in principal amount of bonds shall have exceeded EUR 130,000 on each of not less than 20 trading days in any period of 30 consecutive trading days; (ii) at any time, if 20% or less of the principal amount of the bonds originally issued remain outstanding; or (iii) in the event of an offer or scheme relating to the predominant equity share capital comprised in the exchange property, where the consideration as a result of such offer or scheme consists wholly of cash, all as described in the terms and conditions of the bonds.
Bondholders may request the exchange of their bonds for exchange property at any time since January 9, 2023 until 40 Brussels business days before the maturity date, subject to the option of GBL to satisfy exchange rights in cash, exchange property or a combination thereof.
The bonds are admitted to trading on the open market (Freiverkher) of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange. The carrying amount of these bonds (excluding the option) is EUR 497 million as of June 30, 2025. The option is assessed at fair value on the reporting date (EUR 0 million as of June 30, 2025).
Imerys further underscored its commitment in its sustainable development policy by tying its financing strategy to its environmental ambition.
Therefore, on November 29, 2023, Imerys completed an issue of bonds indexed to its sustainable development objectives (Sustainability-Linked Bonds) for a principal amount of EUR 500 million. These bonds, due to mature on November 29, 2029, bear an annual coupon of 4.75% and are admitted to trading on the regulated market of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange. Issued in accordance with the Sustainability-Linked Bond Principles as published by the International Capital Market Association (ICMA), these instruments are indexed to a target to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, expressed in tons of CO2 emitted, by 32.7% by 2028 from a 2021 base year. This includes Scope 1 emissions (direct emissions from sources owned or controlled by Imerys) and Scope 2 emissions (indirect emissions from the production of electricity, heat or steam imported or purchased by Imerys). Failure to comply with these targets at December 31, 2028 could lead to the payment of penalties corresponding to 75 basis points of the principal amount for the 2028 target. As of June 30, 2025, the cumulative reduction in CO₂-equivalent emissions amounts to 29.9% since 2021 (28.3 % as of December 31, 2024).
On May 14, 2021, the Group also completed an issue of bonds indexed to its sustainable development objectives (Sustainability-Linked Bonds) for a principal amount of EUR 300 million. These bonds, due to mature on July 15, 2031,bear an annual coupon of 1.00% and are admitted to trading on the regulated market of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange. Issued in accordance with the Sustainability-Linked Bond Principles as published by the International Capital Markets Association (ICMA), these instruments are indexed to a target to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 22.9% in 2025 and 36.0% in 2030 in relation to the revenue (tCO2eq/EUR million) considering 2018 as the base year, as approved by the Science Based Target initiative ("SBTi"). Failure to comply with these targets at December 31, 2025 and/or at December 31, 2030 could lead to the payment of penalties corresponding to 25 basis points of the principal amount for the 2025 target and/or 50 basis points of the principal amount for the 2030 target. As of June 30, 2025, Imerys had achieved a cumulative reduction in metric tons of CO2eq emitted per EUR million of revenue of 31.4% compared with 2018 levels (31.6% since 2018 at December 31, 2024).

No impairment was identified as of June 30, 2025. As a consequence, the results of the impairment tests and associated sensitivity analyses disclosed in the Annual Report 2024 remain valid.
In March 2024, Imerys received a purchase offer from Flacks Group, an American investment fund, for a set of mining and industrial assets serving the paper market in America, Europe, and Asia. The assets involved in this transaction, as well as the related liabilities, were designated as assets and liabilities held for sale, and depreciation ceased to be recognized from that date. An impairment loss of EUR -11 million and transaction costs of EUR - 18 million related to the sale of this activity were recognized as of June 30, 2024.
The sale of the activity to Flacks Group was finalized on July 5, 2024. The transaction was completed for a sale price of EUR 146 million, with payment staggered over time based on the future performance of the sold assets. The carrying amount of the sold asset was EUR 63 million. The currency translation differences recycled to the income statement on this transaction amounted to EUR -301 million. The result of the sale was EUR -316 million.
As of June 30, 2025, Imerys still holds three entities serving the paper market in Asia, whose sales to Flacks Group, contractually planned, have not yet been finalized. The ongoing procedures with Flacks Group do not currently jeopardize the sale of these entities. The Group's equity includes as of June 30, 2025 EUR - 2 million of currency translation differences recyclable to the income statement (EUR - 2 million as of December 31, 2024).

The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount that would be received on selling the asset or paid on transferring a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
Underlying the definition of fair value is a presumption that an entity is a going concern without any intention or need to liquidate, to curtail materially the scale of its operations or to undertake a transaction on adverse terms. Fair value is not, therefore, the amount that an entity would receive or pay in a forced transaction, involuntary liquidation or distressed sale.
To reflect the importance of inputs used when measuring at fair value, the group classifies these valuations according to a hierarchy composed of the following levels:
The group's financial instruments very largely belong to classification levels 1 and 2. The financial assets measured at level 3 fair value are not significant compared to the other asset classes (17.31% as of June 30, 2025 and 17.01% as of December 31, 2024).
The objective of using a valuation method is to establish what the transaction price would have been on the measurement date in an arm's-length exchange and motivated by normal business considerations.
The exchangeable or convertible bonds issued by the group are considered to be hybrid instruments, i.e., instruments including a bond component and an embedded derivative. At the date of issue, the fair value of the bond component is estimated based on the prevailing market interest rate for similar non-exchangeable or non-convertible bonds, taking into account the risk associated with GBL (credit spread). At each reporting date, the value of the bond component is recalculated, taking into account the change in the risk-free rate and GBL's credit spread, and the difference in relation to the price of the exchangeable or convertible bond observed on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange's Euro MTF market is taken as the new value of the derivative component. The change in this value in relation to the previous reporting date is recognized in profit or loss.
The fair value of derivative instruments not associated with exchangeable or convertible bonds is taken from a model that uses observable data, in other words the quotes on the reporting date provided by third-parties operating on the financial markets. These valuations are adjusted for the counterparties' credit risk and the credit risk specific to Imerys or GBL. Accordingly, if the market value of the derivative is positive (derivative asset), its fair value incorporates the likelihood of the counterparty defaulting (Credit Value Adjustment or CVA). If the derivative's market value is negative (derivative liability), its fair value factors in the likelihood of Imerys or GBL defaulting (Debit Value Adjustment or DVA). These adjustments are measured based on the spreads of the bonds in circulation on the secondary market, as issued by Imerys, GBL and their counterparts.
The investments in unlisted companies are valued internally at their fair value on a quarterly basis, based on a specific valuation method or a combination of valuation methods, the specific valuations the method of combination of methods being consistent from a closing to another. Methodologies are aligned across the portfolio, though with different weights for respective methods depending on the company. Valuations are approved by the Valuation Committee of GBL and reviewed by an external advisor.
Changes in the fair value of these investments are recognized in the revaluation reserves.
Investments in funds or co-investments owned by GBL Capital are revalued at their fair value, as notably determined by the managers of the funds, based on their investment portfolio.
Changes in the fair value of these investments are recognized in financial income (loss).
In accordance with the recommendations of the International Private Equity and Venture Valuation Guidelines ("IPEV Valuation Guidelines"), recent investment, funds or co-investments are valued at their acquisition cost, provided that these valuations are considered as the best estimates of fair value.
The category, according to IFRS 9, uses the following abbreviations:

Between July 1, 2025 and July 25, 2025 GBL acquired 0.3 million GBL shares, accounting for 0.2% of the shares representing the capital and valued at EUR 21 million on July 25, 2025. The seventh envelope of share buybacks was 96% executed at that date.
Johannes Huth, Managing Director, and Xavier Likin, Chief Financial Officer, certify, in the name and on behalf of GBL, that to the best of their knowledge:
(1) "Consolidated companies" are GBL's subsidiaries within the meaning of Article 1:15 of the Code on companies and associations

To the board of directors Groupe Bruxelles Lambert SA / Groep Brussel Lambert NV
STATUTORY AUDITOR'S REPORT ON THE REVIEW OF THE INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE SIX-MONTH PERIOD ENDED 30 JUNE 2025
We have reviewed the accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements of Groupe Bruxelles Lambert SA / Groep Brussel Lambert NV and its subsidiaries as of 30 June 2025, including the condensed consolidated balance sheet, the condensed consolidated income statement, the condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the condensed consolidated statement of changes in shareholders' equity and the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the 6-month period then ended, as well as the explanatory notes. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements are characterised by a consolidated balance sheet total of 25,537.7 million and a consolidated profit for the 6-month period, attributable to the group, of 44.0 million.
The board of directors is responsible for the preparation and presentation of those interim condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with IAS 34, as adopted by the European Union.
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on those interim condensed consolidated financial statements based on our review.
We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements 2410, "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity". A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing and, consequently, does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements are not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34, as adopted by the European Union.

The specific terminology used in the section on "Accounts as of June 30, 2025" refers to the IFRS (International Financial Reporting Standards) rules as adopted by the European Union.
Alternative Performance Indicators are intended to complement the standard IFRS information included in the consolidated financial statements. They are calculated and presented in a consistent manner for the different financial years. These Alternative Performance Indicators are not audited. They are specific to GBL and therefore may not be comparable to Alternative Performance Indicators as defined by other groups.
With regards to the terms related to financial data on the investments, please refer to the definitions provided by each company in its financial communication.
The asset rotation is the total cumulative nominal amount, for the period specified, of investments and divestments by the GBL group – Holding segment, excluding repurchases of treasury shares.
Assets under management is an operational business indicator corresponding to assets in portfolio marketed by Sienna Investment Managers, whether Sienna Investment Managers manages them, advises on them or delegates their management to an external manager. It includes the NAV of the proprietary capital.
The Concentrix note results from the transaction, closed on September 25, 2023, related to the combination of the Webhelp group, a private asset held by GBL between 2019 and 2023, and listed company Concentrix (the "Concentrix + Webhelp Transaction"). This note for a nominal amount of EUR 493 million will expire in September 2025 and bears an annual facial interest rate of 2.00%. It was largely monetized in Q3 2024. GBL has a residual receivable of EUR 4 million as at June 30, 2025.
The discount is defined as the percentage difference (expressed in relation to the net asset value) between the market capitalization and the net asset value.
The dividend yield is defined as the ratio between (i) the gross dividend detached (or the sum of the gross dividends detached) during the period (12 months) and (ii) the stock market price at the beginning of the period.
The dividend yield for year N is therefore the ratio between (i) the gross dividend (or the sum of the gross dividends) having its (their) Ex-Date in year N+1 and (ii) the closing price on the last trading day of year N.
The value of gross dividends not yet declared is estimated using Bloomberg's "BDVD" function. If this function is not available, the last gross dividend declared is used as an estimate.
In order to facilitate and clarify the reading of the consolidated result attributable to the group (included in the consolidated income statement as of December 31, and in Note 1.1 Segment information - Consolidated income statement) and its various components, the group communicates the "Economic Presentation of the Consolidated Result" which breaks out the elements of the consolidated result (attributable to the group) for the period by nature:
Mark to market and other non-cash items: Elements of the consolidated result (attributable to the group) relating to the "Holding" segment which are noncash and which correspond (i) to items resulting from the application of certain IFRS norms for certain types of assets or liabilities held by GBL and (ii) to impacts of provisions/reversals of provisions
Operating companies (associates or consolidated): Portion of the consolidated result (attributable to the group) relating to GBL's share in the results of the consolidated operating companies, i.e., the segments "Imerys", "Canyon," "Affidea" and "Sanoptis," or associated companies, i.e., the investment in Parques Reunidos (via Piolin II)
The contributions of GBL Capital and Sienna Investment Managers are made up of the various elements relating to their activity: (i) the results, group's share, of associated or consolidated operating companies, (ii) interest income (expenses), (iii) other financial income (expenses), (iv) other operating income (expenses), (v) gains (losses) on disposal, impairments and reversals on non-current assets and (vi) taxes.
Eliminations, capital gains, impairments and reversals: Elements of the consolidated result (attributable to the group) relating to the "Holding" segment (i) which are included in "Cash Earnings" but must be cancelled in accordance with IFRS and (ii) which correspond to the results on disposals, impairments and reversals on certain assets and on discontinued operations held by GBL
The eliminations, capital gains, impairments and reversals mainly include the elimination of dividends received from associated or consolidated operating companies and from dividends received from own shares as well as gains (losses) on disposals, impairments and reversals on some assets and on discontinued operations. All these results relate to the Holding activity.
ESES, for Euroclear Settlement for Euronext-zone Securities, is the single platform for the stock market transactions of Euronext Brussels, Paris and Amsterdam and non-stock market transactions involving securities traded on these markets (OTC).
The theoretical distribution calendar for the dividend is as follows:
Given the time needed for settlement-delivery and ownership transfer relative to D + 2 (D being the transaction date), the last day on which the share is traded with entitlement to dividend distribution is the day before the Ex-Date.
In capital: the percentage interest held directly and indirectly, calculated on the basis of the number of shares in issue on the date of calculation.
In voting rights: the percentage held directly or indirectly, calculated on the basis of the number of voting rights existing on the date of calculation, including suspended voting rights.
The liquidity profile corresponds to the sum of gross cash and the undrawn amount of committed credit lines.
The Loan To Value ratio is calculated on the basis of (i) GBL's net debt relative to (ii) the portfolio's value of GBL increased by, if applicable, the value of the treasury shares underlying the bonds convertible into GBL shares. The valuation methods applied to the portfolio and treasury shares are identical to those used for the net asset value.
The detailed calculation is illustrated on page 142 of the Annual Report 2024.
The Multiple on Invested Capital measures the value generated by an investment. MoIC = (realized value + unrealized value (NAV)) / total investment.
The change in GBL's net asset value is, together with the change in its stock price, cash earnings and result, an important criterion for assessing the performance of the group.
The net asset value is a conventional reference obtained by adding gross cash, the present value of the Concentrix note (calculated at the market rate, taking into account Concentrix's credit quality) and treasury shares to the fair value of the investment portfolio and deducting gross debt.
The following valuation principles are applied for the portfolio:
– lastly, the assets of Sienna Investment Managers are valued at the fair market value of the acquired management companies.
GBL's net asset value is reported together with the results' publication on a quarterly basis.
Some minor events may not have been taken into account in the value reported. The combined effect of these factors may not exceed 2% of the net asset value.
The number of GBL shares used to calculate the net asset value per share is the number of company shares outstanding on the valuation date.
Net cash or, where applicable, net debt, consists of gross cash (excluding treasury shares), the Concentrix note and gross debt.
Gross debt includes all the financial liabilities of the Holding segment (mainly convertible and exchangeable bonds, institutional bonds and bank debt), valued at their nominal repayment value.
Gross cash includes the cash and cash equivalents of the Holding segment. It is valued at the book or market value (for certain cash equivalents).
The net cash or net debt indicators are presented for the Holding segment to reflect GBL's own financial structure and the financial resources available to implement its strategy.
An operating company is defined as a company having a commercial or industrial activity, in opposition to an investing company ("Holding").
The payout or distribution of dividends ratio is calculated, for the financial year N, by dividing (i) the dividends paid in N+1 for the financial year N by (ii) the cash earnings for the financial year N.
The portfolio includes:
In ESES, the entity that proceeds with distribution is known as the System Paying Agent. This is the party responsible within Euroclear Belgium for distribution to other participants of the resources related to a specific distribution. The system paying agent may be either an external paying agent (a CSD participant) or the CSD itself.
The Total Shareholder Return or TSR is calculated on the basis of the change in the stock market price(s) over the period under consideration, taking into account the gross dividend(s) received during this period and reinvested in securities at the time of receipt. It is expressed on an annualized basis and corresponds to the calculation made by Bloomberg via its "TRA" function. It should be noted that the comparison of GBL's TSR with its benchmark index is based on identical periods in terms of trading days.
The velocity on float, expressed as a percentage, is an indicator of the stock market activity of a listed company, which corresponds to the ratio between the number of shares traded over a specified period of time on the stock exchange and the float on the last day of that period. The velocity on float is usually calculated per calendar year.
A listed company's float, or floating capital, corresponds to the proportion of the shares actually liable to be traded on the stock exchange. It can be expressed in value, but is more often expressed as a percentage of the market capitalization.
It corresponds to the number of outstanding ordinary shares at the start of the period, less treasury shares, adjusted by the number of ordinary shares reimbursed (capital reduction) or issued (capital increase), or sold or bought back during the period, multiplied by a time-based weighting factor.
It is obtained by adding potential dilutive shares to the weighted average number of ordinary shares (basic calculation). In this case, potential dilutive shares correspond to call options granted by the group.
The yield enhancement activity consists of executing derivatives instruments (primarily sales of options with short term maturities on some assets in GBL's portfolio) and in operations on trading assets, aiming at generating an increased yield for GBL. The yield enhancement results are mainly made out of (i) premium of option sales, (ii) capital gains or losses realized in the context of operations on trading assets and (iii) dividends received in relation to trading assets.
