PRESS RELEASE

The Board of Directors approved the consolidated half-year report as of 30 June 2025

Consolidated REVENUES of EUR 36.2M, -2% Consolidated EBITDA of EUR -0.2M BEEFREE's growth 22+%

Consolidated NET RESULT of EUR -2.4M

Consolidated NET FINANCIAL POSITION of EUR 8.1M cash

Milan, 23 September, 2025 – Growens S.p.A. - ticker GROW - (the "Company" or the "Issuer" or "Growens"), a company admitted to trading on the multilateral trading facility AIM Italia and operating in the cloud marketing technology field, has announced today that the Board of Directors passed a resolution to approve the consolidated report for the six-month period ended on 30 June 2025, prepared in compliance to IAS/IFRS accounting standards.

Consolidated figures show

  • revenues slightly decreasing by 2% in 1H 2025, of 36.2M EUR, vs 36.9M EUR in 1H 2024; and
  • a negative EBITDA figure of 0.2M EUR, improving vs. 0.7 in 1H 2024.

"The results for the first half of 2025 fall within a significant period of transition for our Group, which saw the payment of our first scrip dividend—paid in cash and shares at the choice of our shareholders further demonstrating our financial strength and the sustainable growth achieved. Business performance reflects our ongoing commitment to innovation, operational efficiency, and the enhancement of product quality, as shown by the excellent Gross Profit results in absolute, relative, and growth terms."

Matteo Monfredini, Chairman and founder of Growens

"The USD 15 million investment announced last year is delivering the expected results. In particular, Beefree's ARR is in line with the plan updated at the beginning of 2025, as is the path toward achieving

positive cash flows by 2028. The new paradigm driven by artificial intelligence is reshaping the competitive landscape, and we are responding decisively by allocating resources to R&D to seize new opportunities: our goal is to make digital content creation increasingly simple, not only for designers but also for AI agents. At the same time, Agile Telecom continues its strategy of focusing on operating profitability and exploring new AI-based solutions, with the aim of expanding into adjacent markets."

Nazzareno Gorni, CEO and founder of Growens

Comments to 1H 2025 results

1H 2025 P&L posts total Revenues around 36.2M EUR, showing a 2% decrease versus 36.9M EUR in the same period of 2024. This decline was mainly due to changes in Agile Telecom's revenues and the absence of certain extraordinary items that benefited the first half of 2024. The SaaS component grew by 20%, representing roughly 19% of total revenues, while the CPaaS line fell by 3.6%, accounting for about 80% of total revenues. The decrease in other revenues mainly reflects the non-recurring extraordinary items recorded in 1H 2024 related to grants and associated allocations, as well as non-core billings (rental income and other services) and the disposal of the ESP and Datatrics businesses.

The Agile Telecom Business Unit posted the biggest revenues of ca. 29M EUR, decreasing by ca. 3.8% over the same period of the previous year, consistently with the strategy of prioritizing higher-margin contracts even at the expense of top-line growth.

The fastest growing Business Unit is BEE (beefree.io), with a 22+% increase in revenues, at 7M EUR or 8.1M USD turnover, driven by increasing volumes. ARR (Annual Recurring Revenues, a very popular key performance indicator for a subscription business, showing the average annual recurring value of existing contracts) amounts to 16.9M USD as of June 2025.

Foreign revenues amount to 25.9+M EUR, representing 73% of total revenues, decreasing by 11.2% vs 1H 2024. Recurring revenues amount to 6.9M EUR, growing ca. 20%.

In 1H 2025 Gross Profit reaches 9.5M EUR, with a revenue incidence above 26%, up 18% compared to 2024. The COGS component decreases more than proportionally than revenues (-7.6%), decreasing by

over 4 percentage points in terms of revenue incidence. The cost items showing the greatest increase reflect the investments made to develop the Beefree Business Unit, specifically in the Sales & Marketing component (+30%) and in Research & Development (+10% of the expensed component). Consolidated EBITDA is negative by approximately 0.2M EUR in 1H 2025, while Beefree's individual EBITDA is negative by approximately 1.4M EUR, an improvement compared with the previous half-year.

EBT is negative by ca. 2.2M EUR, with 2.1M EUR depreciations and and reflects a lower contribution of net financial income following the use of liquidity to pay dividends of 20M EUR in the previous year and the resulting loss of related interest income. IFRS16-related amortizations amount to 0.3M EUR, are substantially stable (+1% YoY); R&D amortizations grow by 14% to 1.7M EUR in 1H 2025.

Net earnings in 1H 2025, after current and deferred taxation estimates, amount to ca. -2.4M EUR. The allocated tax figures are figurative, provided that consolidated taxation results from the aggregate amounts of individual taxation, applied on each legal entity.

The consolidated Net Financial Position as of 30 June 2025 exceed 8M EUR cash, decreasing versus the previously recorded net cash amount of 13M EUR as of 31 December, 2024, with a variation largely influenced by certain net working capital dynamics for Agile Telecom, as well as the cash component of the scrip dividend (ca. 0.9M EUR) paid in June 2025. Figurative debt from IFRS 16's adoption amounts to ca. 1.2M EUR. Cash and equivalents exceed 15M EUR.

The approved data have been submitted to BDO Italia S.p.A., for their review.

Consolidated P&L, balance sheet and cash flow statement are attached.
