ICOP: CONSOLIDATED RESULTS FOR THE FIRST HALF OF 2025

PRODUCTION VALUE SOARS ABOVE €160 MILLION (+104% YoY) EBITDA AT €26.9 MILLION (+37% YoY) WITH MARGIN AT 16.8%

NET PROFIT UP TO €10.8 MILLION (+47% YoY) AND BACKLOG ABOVE €1.4 BILLION

PRO-FORMA1 REVENUES AT €221.2 MILLION, PRO-FORMA EBITDA AT €36.9 MILLION

Basiliano (Udine), 30 September 2025ICOP S.p.A. Società Benefit ("ICOP"), an underground engineering company and one of the leading European operators in the field of special foundations and microtunnelling, announces that it has approved the financial results for fiscal year ended 30 June 2025.

Key financials as of 30.06.2025:

  • Revenues: €160 million (+104% vs €78.59 million as of 30.06.2024)
  • EBITDA: €26.9 million (+37% vs €17.1 million as of 30.06.2024), EBITDA margin at 16.8%
  • Net profit: €10.8 million (+47% compared to €7.3 million as of 30.06.2024)
  • Backlog: €1,409.4 million (+57% compared to €898 million as of 30.06.2024)
  • Net financial position: €132.9 million

"The first half of 2025 confirms a solid growth path, supported by a backlog exceeding €1.4 billion, which provides multi-year visibility. The two strategic acquisitions in the foundationssector, in the United States and in Italy, have strengthened the Group's international positioning, in line with a strategy that prioritizes high value-added sectors and geographies, distinctive technologies, and the integration of already solid and profitable businesses, with significant potential for synergies. The first effects of these synergies will already be visible in the coming months," said Piero Petrucco, Chief Executive Officer of ICOP. "In parallel, we continue to refine applications in trenchless technologies, a distinctive feature of our offering, and to grow in high-margin sectors such as maritime works and port maintenance, capable of generating recurring revenues. We have also consolidated our presence in Germany, a mature market consistent with our long-term vision.

1 Pro-forma data as of June 30, 2025 not subject to audit and resulting from the aggregation of the management results of I.CO.P. S.p.A. SB, Atlantic Geoconstruction Holdings, and Palingeo S.p.A.; AGH data net of transaction costs; EUR/USD = 1.72; NFP net of the pro-rata cash of non-consolidated consortium companies.

All of this is made possible by the contribution of our people, who with commitment and expertise make ICOP stronger and ready to face future challenges."

OPERATING PERFORMANCE AND BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT AS OF 30 JUNE 2025

The first half of 2025 was marked by a dimensional acceleration both due to organic growth and thanks to the acquisition of Atlantic Geoconstruction Holdings (AGH) in the United States completed during the period. The increase in volumes led to a significant rise in Revenues and Profit, while the percentage margin also reflectsthe different project mix and the consolidation of activities carried out through Consorzio Eteria2 . Belonging to Consorzio Eteria is increasingly a fundamental strategic lever and an opportunity for privileged access to large infrastructure contracts in Italy.

In terms of Revenues, the sectoral breakdown of production shows a diversified portfolio consistent with development lines. Microtunnels accounted for 40% of the total, foundations for 37% (of which 16% attributable to AGH in the United States), maritime works for 14% and general contracting for 9%. Profitability reflects this distribution: the microtunnelling division maintained high profitability thanks to the application of advanced technologies and consolidated know-how; foundations significantly expanded volumes, partly due to the consolidation of AGH; maritime works generated positive margins with significant growth potential, also considering the investments made.

Shareholders' equity exceeded €92 million, an increase of 86% compared to June 2024. Net financial position stands at €133 million. The increase is attributable to two main drivers: the acquisition of AGH, finalized for an enterprise value of USD 126 million, and the development and implementation of RoboGO, a semisubmersible robotic system for port maintenance, which required total investments of around €20 million. It is important to underline that the net financial position does not include contractual advances collected by the consortium companies in which the Group participates for the execution of specific contracts. These advances, although representing liquidity actually available for the progress of works, remain with the consortiums and are not consolidated pro quota. Despite the extraordinary commitment in investments, the Group's solidity was also confirmed externally. During the semester, in fact, the A-class rating was maintained, a unique result in the sector.

From the point of view of projects, during the half year ICOP recorded significant operational progress on the main construction sites, confirming its presence in strategic technical and geographical areas:

  • In trenchless works, the intervention for the Acquedotto Marcio in Rome (for ACEA) continued and the microtunnel construction sites in Germany for TenneT, a project that consolidates the Group's position in the German energy market and opens new opportunities in the European infrastructure sector;
  • In foundations, in addition to the large sites developed with Eteria, production for Line 18 of the Grand Paris Express in Paris and participation in the Hamburg Metro are noteworthy, both works that confirm the Group's ability to operate in contexts of high technical complexity;
  • On the maritime front, ICOP is a key player in the development of the Port of Trieste with the Noghere, Molo VI and Molo VII sites and the activities in the Ferriera di Servola area (connected to the future Molo VIII), including a partnership with HHLA PLT whose procedural process is at an advanced stage;

Still in the context of public-private partnership projects, the start of the PPP project for the new campus of the Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna in Pisa underlines the Group's competence in managing complex long-term operations and the focus on stable revenue businesses.

2 In such cases, a consortium company is set up to act as general contractor, while ICOP participates as a subcontractor and records the revenues from the activities performed in its income statement. At the same time, as a result of pro rata consolidation, the consortium's revenues are also included. This mechanism results in a duplication of volumes and a consequent dilutive impact on percentage margins, as the additional margins associated with the role of general contractor are more limited.

The organizational strengthening plan is also proceeding according to schedule; including the contribution from the acquisitions of AGH and Palingeo, the Group's workforce now exceeds 1,100 units. The expansion of the employee base responds to the need to support dimensional and sectoral growth and is accompanied by targeted investments in training, safety, and skills development.

With an order backlog above €1.4 billion, a balanced financial profile, and an A-class credit rating, the Group has the necessary conditions to continue its international and transformative development path, oriented towards creating long-term value for all stakeholders.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS AND SIGNIFICANT FACTS

On September 4, 2025, ICOP completed the closing for the acquisition of a total stake equal to 61.89% of the share capital of Palingeo S.p.A.: the transaction involved the purchase of 1,539,000 Palingeo shares at a unit price of €6.00 (total consideration €9.2 million) and the contribution in kind by F.L.S. Holding s.r.l. ("FLS") of 2,736,000 Palingeo shares, against the issue of 1,728,000 new ICOP shares as part of the capital increase approved by the extraordinary shareholders' meeting on August 4, 2025.

As a result of the transaction, ICOP's share capital amounts to €31,778,250, divided into 31,778,250 ordinary shares. FLS enters ICOP's share capital with a stake of approximately 5.4%, subject to a 36-month lock-up commitment. The agreement provides for a reorganization of Palingeo's governance: until delisting, the Board of Directors will consist of nine members (five appointed by ICOP, including the Chairman; two by FLS; 2 independent), at the end of the process, the Board of Directors will be composed of eight members, four of whom will be appointed by FLS and four by ICOP, including the Chairman, who will have the casting vote in the event of a tie, and who will remain in office for 3 (three) financial years between ICOP and FLS. As part of the transaction, the shareholders' meeting held on August 4, 2025, approved the appointment of Leonardo Spada, founding partner of Palingeo, to the ICOP Board of Directors, and management agreements were signed to ensure operational continuity and industrial alignment. On September 22, 2025, ICOP also filed with CONSOB the Offer Document relating to the mandatory and total takeover bid on Palingeo at a unit price of €6.00 (maximum offer of up to 3,316,825 shares, maximum value of approximately €19.9 million).

Founded in 1999 in Carpenedolo, Palingeo is a company specialised in special foundations and geotechnics, with about 260 employees, an order backlog of about €144 million and high operating margins (EBITDA margin 20%). The integration of Palingeo with ICOP aims to create a new European reference player in the sector, combining complementary technical skills, optimising the machinery fleet and operational resources, and fostering the acceleration of the Group's technological and international development.

EXPECTED BUSINESS OUTLOOK

The outlook for the coming years outlines for ICOP a path of development and transformation, supported by an increasingly international and diversified industrial profile. The acquisitions completed in 2025 — AGH in the United States and Palingeo in Italy — are the main growth drivers, with pro-forma results already today showing a new dimension of the Group: revenues of €221.2 million, EBITDA of €36.9 million with an EBITDA margin of around 17%. The backlog stands at €1,409.4 million.

The commercial strategy remains focused on high value-added contracts and long-term projects in the fields of energy transition, water networks, urban and port mobility. In the domestic market the Group will continue to oversee major public works also through Consorzio Eteria, while internationally the integration of AGH in the United States and the construction sites in Germany and Northern Europe strengthen the

presence in strategic markets with high technological intensity. Alongside these drivers, the maritime sector (Trieste, La Spezia) and the development of recurring revenue activities such as RoboGO constitute further pillars of growth and stabilisation of profitability. From a financial point of view, extraordinary investments will be managed while preserving a contained level of leverage. ICOP has an industrial and financial platform capable of supporting selective, sustainable and lasting growth, with an expected increase in revenues and margins.

IMPACT ASSESSMENT

In the first half of 2025, ICOP made significant progress on ESG objectives, strengthening its regenerative enterprise model. On the environmental front, it invested in water-saving systems, low-emission machinery, and innovative technologies. On the social side, it expanded welfare and inclusion programs, with initiatives for health, training, and family support, confirming the centrality of people in the Group's strategy. On the governance side, it extended ISO certifications, updated the 231 Model to foreign activities, and promoted the "Call for Future" initiative in support of youth and female employment. All these actions are part of the path towards Net Zero and demonstrate the structural integration of sustainability into ICOP's business strategy.
