Interim Report on Operations 2025
Beyond the Numbers: A Closer Look at Who We Are
Every growth journey needs reference points, but above all, it relies on people who make it possible. At GVS, we believe that the true value of a company lies first and foremost in the people who bring it to life every day, through their commitment, passion, and sense of responsibility. A global community of around four thousand people, continuously contributing to the development of the Group and embodying its values. This belief guides the way we do business and accompanies every step of our growth.
This Report tells the story of the results we have achieved, but also of the human context in which they take shape. For over a decade, we have empowered our people by providing space, voice, and visibility through a photographic contest for our corporate calendar. Launched in 2013, this project has become an integral part of GVS's life and identity, allowing employees to share their unique perspectives of the company from the inside, both across the organization and beyond.
The images accompanying this Report are not simply photographs, but expressions of different experiences, sensitivities, and cultures that together portray an authentic image of our global reality. They represent a tangible opportunity for inclusion and participation, where individual contributions intertwine with the value of teamwork, reinforcing the idea of GVS as a united community built on relationships, collaboration, and mutual trust. A company that grows together with its people, like an extended family in which everyone can feel part of a shared journey.
The cover image is a particularly meaningful visual synthesis of this approach. The Nubble Lighthouse in York, Maine - anchored to the rock and constantly exposed to the strength of natural elements - conveys stability and resilience. At the same time, it evokes values deeply connected to GVS's identity - protection, risk reduction, people's safety, and technology serving reliable solutions - principles that have long guided our industrial activity. It is no coincidence that the image was taken in 2015 by a GVS employee as part of the internal photographic
contest: a tangible sign of the strong link between our industrial strategy and the people who make it possible every day.
For GVS, looking beyond the numbers means recognizing that long-term value stems from balancing industrial strength with the centrality of people. With this spirit, we continue our growth, aware that putting people at the centre is the only way to create lasting value and face the future responsibly.

DIRECTORS' REPORT ON OPERATING PERFORMANCE
Foreword
The Interim Directors' Report on Operations of GVS SpA (hereinafter referred to as 'GVS', the 'Company' or the 'Parent Company', and, together with its subsidiaries, the 'GVS Group' or the 'Group') is presented in conjunction with the Interim Consolidated Financial Statements as at 31 March 2026.
The purpose of the Interim Directors' Report is to provide information on the position of the GVS Group and on its operating performance, both overall and in the various sectors in which it operates, including through its subsidiaries.
The statements presented and discussed below have been prepared on the basis of the consolidated financial statements as at 31 March 2026, to which reference should be made, which have been drawn up in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards ('IFRS') issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ('IASB') and endorsed by the European Union, as well as with the measures issued to implement Article 9 of Italian Legislative Decree No. 38/2005.
Group performance and analysis of results for the period ending 31 March 2026
The GVS Group is one of the world's leading providers of advanced filtration solutions, primarily for applications in the Healthcare & Life Sciences sector.
Following the organisational change last year, the detailed financial disclosure of revenue from contracts with customers by product line was amended in the previous financial year, and, as of the first quarter of 2026, the disclosure by type of sales channel (business-to-business/business-to-consumer) included in the notes to these interim financial statements has been updated; therefore, the comparative figures as at 31 March 2025 have been amended in line with the new classification.

The consolidated financial performance of operating activities for the period ended 31 March 2026 is as follows: normalised revenue from sales and services of Euro 105 million (Euro 107.2 million in the first three months of 2025); normalised EBITDA of Euro 25.9 million (Euro 25.8 million in the first three months of 2025); normalised EBIT of Euro 17.2 million (Euro 18.8 million in the first three months of 2025).
- In these financial statements, a number of financial indicators and reclassified statements not defined by IFRS are presented and discussed. These figures are defined below in accordance with the provisions of the Consob Communication of 28 July 2006 (OEM 6064293) and subsequent amendments and additions (Consob Communication No. 0092543 of 3 December 2015, which implements ESMA Guidelines 2015/1415).
The alternative performance measures listed below should be used as supplementary information to that required by IFRS, to help users of the interim financial report better understand the Company's economic and financial performance and its financial position. Alternative performance measures are metrics used by the Issuer to monitor and assess the Group's performance and are not defined as accounting measures under either Italian Accounting Standards or IAS/IFRS. Therefore, the calculation method applied by the Group may not be consistent with that adopted by other operators and/or groups and may thus not be comparable. It should be noted that the method used by the Company to calculate these adjusted measures has remained consistent over the years.
EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortisation) is defined by the Issuer's Directors as the 'profit or loss before tax and financial expenses/income', as reported in the consolidated income statement, gross of amortisation of intangible fixed assets, depreciation of tangible fixed assets and rights of use, and provisions and bad debt write-downs, as reported in the aforementioned consolidated income statement. EBITDA is a measure used by the Issuer to monitor and assess the Group's operating performance.
EBIT (Earnings Before Interest and Taxes) represents the consolidated profit or loss before tax, financial expenses and financial income, as shown in the income statement statements prepared by the Directors for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with IFRS.
EBT (Earnings Before Taxes) represents the consolidated profit or loss before tax as shown in the income statements prepared by the Directors for the preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with IAS/IFRS.

Interim Report on Operations 2026
Normalised EBITDA was up 0.3% compared to the first three months of 2025, with a margin on revenue of 24.6%, an improvement on the margin recorded in the first three months of 2025 of 24.1%. The period result is supported by the contribution of the profitability recovery actions implemented by the Group.
Normalised EBIT amounted to Euro 17.2 million, down 8.1% compared to the same period of the previous financial year (Euro 18.8 million) as a result of higher depreciation of property, plant and equipment and rights of use, with a revenue margin of 16.4%, compared to 17.5% in 2025.
Normalised net financial expenses, net of foreign exchange gains of Euro 4,423 thousand recorded in the first three months of 2026 and exchange losses of Euro 8,333 thousand in the same period of 2025, decreased in the period under review, from Euro 2,801 thousand for the period ended 31 March 2025 to Euro 2,683 thousand for the period ended 31 March 2026, mainly due to the decrease in contract interest rates.
Profit before tax from recurring activities reached Euro 19 million in the period under review, an increase of Euro 11.4 million compared to Euro 7.6 million in 2025, mainly due to the effect of the foreign exchange loss recorded in 2025 as compared with the foreign exchange gain recorded in 2026.
Non-recurrent proceeds and charges in the period ending on 31 March 2026 represent: (i) costs relating to the Group's personnel as a result of the ongoing restructuring process (totalling Euro 101 thousand); (ii) fixed costs relating to the Puerto Rico plant, which is no longer operational, amounting to Euro 249 thousand; (iii) amortisation and depreciation of intangible and tangible assets recognised following the purchase price allocation of the Kuss, RPB, Haemotronic, STT and EG groups (totalling Euro 3,108 thousand); and finally (iv) interest recognised following the discounting of the earn-out payables for the acquisitions of the STT group and Haemotronic's whole blood business (Euro 127 thousand), net of the related tax effect.
Non-recurrent proceeds and charges in the period ending on 31 March 2025 represent: (i) income resulting from the compensation to be received from Haemonetics as reimbursement for the voluntary redundancy incentives granted and allocated following the acquisition of the whole blood business unit (Euro 370 thousand); (ii) costs relating to the Group's personnel as a result of the ongoing restructuring process (totalling Euro 537 thousand); (iii) costs for consultancy and various services received on an exceptional basis in connection with the acquisition of Haemotronic's whole blood business (Euro 273 thousand); (iv) costs allocated to the restructuring provision, mainly relating to the Puerto Rico plant (totalling Euro 263 thousand); (v) amortisation and depreciation of intangible and tangible assets recognised following the purchase price allocation of the Kuss, RPB, Haemotronic and STT groups (totalling Euro 4,136 thousand); and finally (vi) interest recognised following the discounting of the earn-out payables for the acquisitions of the STT group and Haemotronic's whole blood business unit (Euro 279 thousand), net of the related tax effect.

The balance of net trade working capital as at 31 March 2026 shows an increase of Euro 21.075 thousand compared to 31 December 2025, primarily due to increases in trade receivables and inventories, amounting to Euro 14.634 thousand and Euro 8.175 thousand respectively, net of an increase in trade payables of Euro 1.734 thousand.

The decrease in other current liabilities as at 31 March 2026 compared to 31 December 2025, amounting to Euro 2.927 thousand, is primarily attributable to the decrease in payables for direct and indirect taxes (excluding the instalment payment of IRES and IRAP liabilities following the settlement of the tax dispute, which are recognised under financial payables) and in liabilities arising from contracts with customers, net of the increase in payables to employees and directors.
Provisions for risks and charges, which amounted to Euro 1.389 thousand as at 31 March 2026, decreased by Euro 429 thousand as a result of the payment and related utilisation of the provision following the restructuring of the Group's workforce.

| (M) | Total net financial indebtedness (H)-(L) | (249.759) | (240.101) |
The increase in net financial indebtedness at 31 March 2026 compared to 31 December 2025, totalling Euro 9.658 thousand, is mainly due to the cash used for net investments in tangible and intangible fixed assets for the period (totalling Euro 7.147 thousand), net financial expenses (Euro 2.810 thousand), tax payments (Euro 3.774 thousand), the payment relating to the personnel provision (Euro 1.125 thousand) and the signing/renewal of leasing contracts (Euro 1.167 thousand), net of cash generated from current operations. Specifically, cash generated from operating activities, amounting to Euro 26.990 thousand, net of cash absorbed by changes in working capital totalling Euro 21.289 thousand, was lower than the amount used to pay finance costs, taxes, investments, employee provisions and to enter into/renew leasing contracts, thereby resulting in an increase in total net financial indebtedness. Net current financial indebtedness, which stood at minus Euro 44.918 thousand as at 31 December 2025, amounted to a positive Euro 23.444 thousand as at 31 March 2026. Non-current financial indebtedness, which stood at minus Euro 195.183 thousand as at 31 December 2025, amounted to minus Euro 273.204 thousand as at 31 March 2026.

result of net working capital management, which led to a greater use of cash than in the corresponding period of the previous financial year due to a larger increase in inventories and trade receivables than in trade payables.
Net investment activity for the period showed a lower cash outflow than in the same period of the previous financial year, amounting to Euro 16,609 thousand, primarily as a result of the cash used to acquire the whole blood business unit of Haemonetics (of which Euro 25,354 thousand was used to purchase tangible assets and Euro 15,143 thousand was used to purchase inventory) and the payment of part of the earn-out to the seller of the Haemotronic Group, amounting to Euro 10,000 thousand, net of the divestments of financial assets amounting to approximately Euro 28,760 thousand, which had occurred in the first quarter of 2025. We also note that the quarter ending 31 March 2026 is affected by the final payment of the earn-out to the seller of the STT Group, in the amount of Euro 6,929 thousand.
In contrast, the Group's financing activities for the first quarter of 2026 showed an increase in cash outflows compared to the same period of the previous financial year, primarily as a result of the new loan agreements entered into during the quarter, net of principal repayments made in accordance with the repayment schedules for existing loans.

Principal risks and uncertainties
In conducting its business, the Company is exposed to financial risk, as described in the Explanatory Notes, representing:
- market risk, deriving from fluctuating exchange rates between the Euro and the other currencies in which the Group operates, and of interest rates;
- credit risk, deriving from the possibility of a counterpart defaulting;
- liquidity risk, deriving from insufficiency of financial resources to fulfil financial commitments.
The Group's goal is to maintain balanced management of its financial exposure over the years in order to guarantee a debt structure that is balanced with the composition of the company's assets and capable of guaranteeing the necessary flexibility in operations through use of liquidity generated by current operations and by resorting to bank loans.
The capacity of core operations to generate liquidity and the capacity for indebtedness allow the Group to adequately satisfy the requirements of its operations and financing of operative working capital and investment capital, and to fulfil its financial obligations.
The Group's financial policy and management of financial risk are guided and monitored at the central level. In particular, the central finance function assesses and approves provisional financial requirements, monitors trends and applies appropriate corrective actions where necessary.
With regard to the ongoing armed conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East, the Company monitors the geopolitical context and the situation in these countries on a daily basis in order to assess the potential direct and indirect future effects, both in terms of heightened inflationary pressures on raw material supply markets and energy costs, and in terms of reduced sales in the affected areas. Currently, the Group's direct exposure to the areas concerned is marginal.
With regard to the recent worsening of the international geopolitical situation, following the escalation of the conflict in Iran, which has developed since the beginning of March 2026 into a particularly critical phase characterised by large-scale military operations, it should be noted that the GVS Group monitors the current situation on a daily basis in order to assess potential direct and indirect future effects, both in terms of heightened inflationary pressures on raw material supply markets and energy costs, and in terms of reduced sales in the affected areas. At present, while direct effects can be considered insignificant, given the limited operations in the countries affected by the conflict, it cannot be ruled out that indirect effects impacting the supply chain and raw material costs could lead to a reduction in margins. The directors will continue to monitor developments in the current situation and take appropriate measures to safeguard the Group's profitability.

Finally, on 16 February 2026 GVS stipulated a bullet loan agreement with Mediobanca SpA for a total of Euro 40.000 thousand. The loan matures on 10 February 2031.

Events after the end of the period
On 13 April 2026, the Company announced its decision to launch a voluntary partial takeover bid for its own shares. The transaction concerns a maximum of 23,255,813 treasury shares, representing approximately 12.29% of the share capital, and is addressed to all shareholders without distinction, with the exception of the 1,717,199 treasury shares already held as at 13 April 2026 (0.91% of the share capital). GVS shall pay a consideration of Euro 4.30 for each share tendered. This price incorporates a premium of 11.67% over the weighted average price of Euro 3.85 as at 10 April 2026. The offer does not stipulate a minimum participation threshold, in the event of requests exceeding the maximum quantity, the shares will be allocated proportionally among all participants. The purpose of the transaction is to improve the Company's capital structure in terms of efficiency and flexibility, and to establish a portfolio of treasury shares to be used in transactions related to the Company's core business or in projects consistent with the strategic objectives the Company intends to pursue, including any extraordinary corporate finance transactions, such as the exchange or sale of equity investments to be effected through an exchange, contribution or other act of disposal and/or use, with other parties, including the allocation to service bonds convertible into shares of the Company or bonds with warrants, or other uses deemed to be of financial, managerial and strategic interest to the Company. Any treasury shares purchased under the Offer may also be used to service compensation plans based on financial instruments pursuant to Article 114-bis of the CFA in favour of directors, employees or collaborators of the Company and/or its subsidiaries, as well as programmes for the free allocation of shares to Shareholders of the Company. The transaction is not aimed at delisting the share. The main shareholder, GVS Group, has announced its intention not to participate in the offer. The purpose of the Offer is not to cancel treasury shares, it being understood that the Company's Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting may, in the future, resolve to cancel any treasury shares held in the Company's portfolio. With a view to optimising and streamlining its financial structure, GVS intends to meet the financial commitments required to pay the consideration to those accepting the voluntary partial takeover bid by taking out new financing.
Business outlook
During FY 2026, the GVS Group will continue on its path of continuous improvement of economic and financial performance, continuing to implement the following strategic actions already communicated when the results for FY 2025 were approved:
- MedTech: Establishment of new sub-divisions to strengthen the commercial focus on the fastest-growing segments and maximise synergies from M&As
- Transfusion Medicine: with the full integration of the Whole Blood business completed, the focus is on sales growth and new product development. Life Sciences: crescita dei ricavi supportata da validazioni con clienti farmaceutici e nuovi accordi di distribuzione;
- Life Sciences: revenue growth supported by validations with pharmaceutical customers and new distribution agreements;
- Safety: consolidation of the business expansion, supported by the gradual roll-out of new products across all regions;
- Mobility: Stabilisation of revenue, while continuing to grow solutions related to electric and hybrid vehicles and recovering volumes in agricultural machinery applications.
With regard to recent developments in the international geopolitical landscape and the ongoing conflict in the Middle East, it should be noted that the GVS Group continues to monitor the current situation on a daily basis in order to assess potential future impacts, particularly in terms of heightened inflationary pressures on raw material supply markets and energy costs, so as to take timely and appropriate measures to safeguard the Group's profitability.
Based on the results achieved in the first three months of the year and the current outlook regarding the effects of the aforementioned geopolitical situation, the Company confirms the forecasts for the results for the 2026 financial year, as announced when the 2025 financial statements were approved, namely:
- low single-digit growth in consolidated revenue at constant exchange rates compared to the 2025 financial year, increasing progressively throughout the year;
- an increase in the normalised EBITDA margin of between 20 and 50 basis points compared to 2025;
- a projected leverage ratio as at 31 December 2026 of around 1.8x, excluding the impact of the partial voluntary public purchase offer on the Company's own shares announced by the Company on 13 April 2026.

The Interim Management Report as at 31 March 2026 has been prepared in accordance with the valuation and measurement criteria set out in the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and adopted by the European Commission in accordance with the procedure set forth in Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No. 1606/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 19 July 2002, while for the purposes of the disclosures in this report, reference has been made to Article 154-ter of Italian Legislative Decree No. 58 of 24 February 1998.
The accounting standards adopted in the Interim Management Report are the same as those used in the preparation of the Annual Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2025, to which reference should be made for further details, with the exception of:
- accounting standards, or amendments to existing accounting standards, effective from 1 January 2026, and
- income taxes, which are recognised based on the best estimate of the weighted average tax rate expected for the entire financial year, in line with the requirements of IAS 34.
For comparative purposes, the consolidated financial statements as at 31 March 2026 present, for the income statement, figures for the three months of 2025, and for the balance sheet, balances for the year ended 31 December 2025.
The Group chose to represent its statement of profit and loss according to the nature of the expense, while the assets and liabilities in the statement of financial position are divided into current and non-current.

Consolidation is carried out using the line-by-line method, which involves fully incorporating all asset and liability items. Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which control is effectively transferred to the Group, and cease to be consolidated on the date on which control is transferred outside the Group. The assets and liabilities, as well as the income and expenses, of companies consolidated using the full consolidation method are included in the consolidated financial statements in their entirety. The carrying amount of equity investments is eliminated against the corresponding portion of the investee companies' shareholders' equity by allocating to the individual assets and liabilities their fair value at the date of acquisition of control (the acquisition method as defined in IFRS 3 'Business Combinations'). Any remaining difference, if positive, is recognised under the asset item 'Goodwill'; if negative, it is recognised in the income statement. Reciprocal payables and receivables, costs and revenues between consolidated companies, and the effects of all material transactions between them, are eliminated. Minority shareholders' portions of equity and profit or loss for the period are presented separately in the consolidated statement of equity and income statement; this interest is determined on the basis of the percentage they hold in the fair values of the assets and liabilities recognised at the date of the original acquisition and in the changes in equity after that date. Thereafter, profits and losses are allocated to non-controlling interests on the basis of the percentage they hold, and losses are allocated to non-controlling interests even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a negative balance.
GRS
Report on Operations
Interim Report on Operations 2026
Changes in the parent company's ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions. If the parent company loses control of a subsidiary, it derecognises the subsidiary's assets (including any goodwill) and liabilities, derecognises the carrying amounts of any non-controlling interest in the former subsidiary, derecognises any cumulative exchange rate differences recognised in equity, recognises the fair value of the consideration received, recognises the fair value of any retained interest in the former subsidiary, recognises any gain or loss in the income statement, and finally reclassifies the parent company's share of the components previously recognised in comprehensive income to the income statement or to retained earnings, as appropriate.
3. Measurement criteria
The measurement criteria used in preparing the consolidated financial statements for the period ended 31 March 2026 are in line with the requirements of the IFRSs adopted by the European Union. Please refer to the 2025 Annual Financial Report for information on the relevant international accounting standards and the policies selected by the Group in preparing the aforementioned financial statements.
4. Estimates and assumptions
In preparing this Report, the Directors are required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of costs, assets and liabilities in the financial statements. Should these estimates and assumptions, which are based on the management's best judgement, differ from actual circumstances in the future, they would be adjusted appropriately in the period in which those circumstances change. It should also be noted that certain complex valuation processes, in particular the more complex ones, such as the determination of impairment of non-current assets, are generally only carried out in full during the preparation of the annual financial statements, when all necessary information is available, except in cases where there are impairment indicators that require an immediate assessment of possible impairment losses.
5. Notes to the main items on the consolidated income statement
5.1 Revenues from contracts with customers
Following the organisational change last year, the detailed financial disclosure of revenue from contracts with customers by product line was amended in the previous financial year, and, as of the first quarter of 2026, the disclosure by type of sales channel (business-to-business/business-to-consumer) included in the notes to these interim financial statements has been updated; therefore, the comparative figures as at 31 March 2025 have been amended in line with the new classification.
