CDP S.p.A. has "de facto" control over Italgas S.p.A. pursuant to the accounting principle IFRS 10 "Consolidated Financial Statements".

As of 31 March 2025, CDP S.p.A. holds, directly through CDP Reti S.p.A.1, a 25.96% stake in Italgas S.p.A. and, indirectly through Snam S.p.A., a 4.22% stake.

The parent company, Italgas S.p.A., is not subject to direction and coordination activities. Italgas S.p.A. exercises direction and coordination activities over its subsidiaries pursuant to Articles 2497 et seq. of the Italian Civil Code.

1) Basis of preparation

The Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as of 31 March 2025, hereinafter also the "Interim Consolidated Financial Statements", were prepared in accordance with the provisions of IAS 34 "Interim financial reporting". As permitted by this standard, the Interim Consolidated Financial Statements do not include all the information required in annual consolidated financial statements and, therefore, must be read together with Italgas Group's Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ending 31 December 2024 ("2024 Consolidated Financial Statements").The Notes to the Interim Consolidated Financial Statements are presented in summary form.

The Interim Consolidated Financial Statements as of and for the three months ended 31 March 2025, approved and authorised for issue by the Board of Directors of Italgas S.p.A. at the meeting of 6 May 2025 were subjected to a limited review by Deloitte & Touche S.p.A. The limited review involves an amount of work significantly reduced compared to the audit required by generally accepted auditing standards.

The Interim Consolidated Financial Statements are presented in Euro. Amounts in the Interim Consolidated Financial Statements and related Notes, considering their size are expressed in thousands of Euro, unless otherwise indicated.

2) Consolidation principles and measurement criteria

The Interim Consolidated Financial Statements apply the consolidation principles and the measurement criteria described when preparing the annual consolidated financial statements, to which reference is made. The Group did not have any changes to its accounting policies from those applied in the 2024 Consolidated Financial Statements, with the exception of the international accounting standards that came into effect on 1 January 2025, as detailed in the following section 4 below.

No changes has been made to the Interim Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, Interim Condensed Consolidated Income Statement, Interim Condensed Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income and Interim Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flow (together, the "Financial Statements") respect to those presented in the 2024 Consolidated Financial Statements.

3) Use of estimates

With reference to the description of the use of accounting estimates, please refer to the Note to 2024 Consolidated Financial Statements.

1 CDP S.p.A. holds 59.10%.

4) Accounting standards, amendments and interpretations issued by the IASB (International Accounting Standards Board), approved by the European Union (EU) that came into effect on 1 January 2025

The following provision issued by the IASB (International Accounting Standards Board) entered into effect in the European Union on 1 January 2025:

On 15 August 2023, the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) published "Lack of Exchangeability (Amendments to IAS 21)", an amendment that contains the criteria for determining when one currency is convertible into another and how to determine the exchange rate when it is not.

This amendment specifies that a currency is a convertible currency when an entity is able to exchange that currency for another through markets or exchange mechanisms that create rights and obligations applicable without undue delay at the valuation date and for a specific purpose; a currency is not exchangeable for another if an entity can obtain only a small amount of the other currency. It also defines how to determine the exchange rate to be applied when a currency is not convertible, in this case at the valuation date, the spot exchange rate is estimated as the rate that would have been applied to a transaction ordered between market participants at the valuation date and that would faithfully reflect existing economic conditions. Furthermore, additional disclosures are required when a currency is not convertible: in particular, in such a case, information must be provided to allow readers of the financial statements to assess how the inability to convert a currency affects, or is expected to affect, profit or loss, financial position and cash flows.

The adoption of this amendment had no effect on the Interim Consolidated Financial Statements of the Group. The Group has not early adopted any of the forthcoming new or amended accounting standards in preparing these condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

5) Business combinations

During the 2024, Italgas completed the acquisition of 96.23% of the equity investment in Acqua Campania S.p.A. from Vianini Lavori S.p.A. and the Veolia Group for a total consideration of 16,823 thousand euro.

The purchase price allocation of this acquisition was finalized in the first quarter ended 31 March 2025 without changes compared to the provisional allocation recorded in 2024 Consolidated Financial Statements.

There were no acquisitions for the three months ended 31 March 2025.

6) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents, equal to 2,573,196 thousand euro (402,662 thousand euro as of 31 December 2024), refer to current account deposits held at banks.

The increase of 2,170,534 thousand euro is mainly due to the liquidity derived from (i) the "dual-tranche" issuance notes on 06 March 2025 under the EMTN programme, for an amount of 500 million euro each, and (ii) the draw on the so-called term credit line of 1,000 million euro, granted under the financing agreement signed on 5 October 2024 with a pool of financing banks, aimed at the acquisition of 99.94% of the share capital of 2i Rete Gas S.p.A..

Cash and cash equivalents are not subject to any usage restrictions, except for 42,422 thousand euro (43,400 thousand euro as of 31 December 2024) relating to collections on behalf of the Region Campania for water monitoring activities, which have not yet been paid to the Region Campania at the reference data.

7) Trade and other receivables

Trade and other receivables, amounting to 971,146 thousand euro (905,092 thousand euro as of 31 December 2024) include the following:

On 27 February 2025, under the EMTN Programme, Italgas issued a "dual-tranche" note with fixed rates and maturities of 5 and 9 years, maturing on 6 March 2030 and 2034, respectively, with each tranche amounting to 500 million euro and annual coupons of 2.875% and 3.500%, respectively.

On 31 March 2025, Italgas drew on the so-called term credit line of 1,000 million euro2, granted under the financing agreement signed on 5 October 2024 with J.P. Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. – Milan Branch, Banco BPM S.p.A., Bank of America Europe Designated Activity Company – Milan Branch, Citibank N.A. – Milan Branch, Morgan Stanley Bank AG, and Société Générale – Milan Branch, as the financing banks.

There are no non-current financial liabilities in currencies other than Euro.

2On this credit line an annual interest rate equal to EURIBOR (with a floor equal to 0%), plus a margin applicable, which varies depending on the period considered. The credit line must be redeemed by 13 August 2025. However, this period may be extended at the discretion of the borrower by a further six months up to twice, on the terms and conditions as best indicated in the loan agreement.

There were no breaches of loan agreements as at the reporting date.

For more information, see "Financial covenants and negative pledge contractual clauses" below.

Breakdown of total financial liabilities by interest rate type

As of 31 March 2025, the debt accounted for 77.6% of financial and bond debt (85.4% as of 31 December 2024), while floating-rate debt stood at 22.4% (14.6% as of 31 December 2024).

Financial covenant and negative pledge contractual clauses

As of 31 March 2025 Italgas had unsecured bilateral and syndicated loan agreements in place with banks and other financial institutions.

As of 31 March 2025, there are no loan agreements containing financial covenants, with the exception of the EIB loan signed by Toscana Energia which provides for compliance with certain financial covenants. In particular, the loan agreement with the EIB requires compliance with financial covenants, such as the ratio between (i) net financial position (calculated on an aggregate basis for the entire Italgas Group) and EBITDA, as defined in the contractual documentation, (ii) the sum of FFO and financial charges and the sum of repayments of the principal portion of financial debt over the last 12 months, as defined in the contractual documentation, and (iii) net financial position and RAB, as defined in the contractual documentation.

Some of the loan agreements provide, inter alia, for the following: (i) negative pledge undertakings, pursuant to which Italgas and the subsidiaries are subject to limitations regarding the creation of real rights of guarantee or other restrictions concerning all or part of the respective assets, shares or goods; (ii) pari passu and change of control clauses; (iii) limitations on some extraordinary transactions that the Company and its subsidiaries may carry out.

Furthermore, limited to the EIB loans subscribed by the Italgas Group, the lender has the option to request additional guarantees if the credit rating assigned to Italgas is below BBB- (Fitch Ratings Limited) or Baa3 (Moody's) or in the event of the loss of any rating. If these additional guarantees are not deemed satisfactory, the European Investment Bank would have the right to request the immediate early repayment of the loans it has provided.

Failure to comply with the commitments established for these loans - in some cases only when this noncompliance is not remedied within a set time period - and the occurrence of other events, such as cross-default events, some of which are subject to specific threshold values, may result in Italgas and Toscana Energia failure to comply and could trigger the early repayment of the relative loan. The covenants are tested periodically and were respected as of the last period (31 December 2024).

Notes issued by Italgas mainly referred to securities issued under the Euro Medium Term Notes programme. The covenants established for the programme's securities are typical of international market practice and consist of, inter alia, negative pledge and pari passu clauses.

Commitments

As at 31 March 2025, commitments amounted to 1,375,791 thousand euro (1,275,737 thousand euro as at 31 December 2024). Commitments with suppliers to purchase property, plant and equipment and provide services relating to the purchase of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets under.

In addition, the residual commitments made by the Italgas Group with the Contracting Authorities for the implementation of investments arising from the awarding of gas distribution service area tenders amount to 761,0 million euro. Furthermore, the Italgas Group made commitments with the Municipalities with existing non-expired concessions, including new methane gasifications, and concessions assigned on the basis of Italian Legislative Decree no. 164/2000, known as the "Letta Decree", for over 36.8 million euro.

In Greece, with Decision E-173/2024 published in the Official Gazette of the Greek government B' 6152/07.11.2024, a Development Programme was approved for the company Enaon EDA for the natural gas distribution networks in the regions of Attica, Thessaloniki, Thessalia and remainder of Greece for the 2024- 2028 period (At 31 March 2025, these commitments amounted to approximately 587.9 million euro)

The investments will be mainly allocated to the development and upgrading of the gas distribution network in Italy and Greece.

Other unvalued commitments

The acquisition of the equity investment of Enerco Distribuzione by the subsidiary Italgas Reti, which took place in 2017, is subject to an ownership price adjustment (so-called "earn-out") clause.

The acquisition of the "Alessandria 4 ATEM" business unit by the subsidiary Italgas Reti, which took place in 2020, is subject to a price adjustment (so-called "earn-out") clause if the Alessandria 4 ATEM tender is awarded within 10 years of the signing date and if the contracting authority in the aforesaid tender procedure recognises a higher reimbursement value than the pro-forma value under the agreement, for the same year of reference.

On 27 December 2022, Alia Servizi Ambientali S.p.A. ("Alia"), Toscana Energia and Italgas signed a contract concerning, among other things, "put and call" options, on the basis of which Italgas is entitled to purchase 30,134,618 shares held in Toscana Energia by Alia, amounting to approximately 20.6099% of the share capital of Toscana Energia ("Alia's TE Shares" and "Toscana Energia Call Option") and Alia is entitled to sell Alia's TE Shares to Italgas.

In accordance with the terms and conditions set out by the contract, on 14 January 2025 Italgas exercised the Toscana Energia Call Option by sending the relative notice to Alia. The envisaged contractual price to purchase Alia's TE shares is to be determined as the "fair market value" at the date of execution of the Toscana Energia Call Option, calculated by an international financial institution named jointly by the parties.

As part of the investment agreement signed on 26 July 2022, and subsequently amended, between Energetica S.p.A. and Medea S.p.A. related to the entry of the latter into the share capital of Energie Rete Gas S.r.l. ("ERG") for a 49% stake through the contribution, and subsequent sale, to ERG of assets and activities of Medea relating to gas transmission (the "Medea ERG Transaction"), the Parties, inter alia, agreed to restore the legal situation prior to the Medea ERG Transaction if ERG does not obtain, by 31 December 2025, (i) recognition, from the competent ministry, among the infrastructure and/or regional transmission services of natural gas, and (ii) recognition, under the tariff regulatory profile, as regional transport service.

The acquisition in 2023 of the business unit to which the concessions held in Italy in the water sector belonged is subject to an ownership price adjustment (so-called "earn-out") clause, to be determined for four years according to annual measurements based on net takings on certain receivables by the associated companies Siciliacque and Acqualatina.

On 5 October 2024, a purchase and sale agreement was signed by Italgas as the purchaser, and by F2i SGR S.p.A., in the name and on behalf of the F2i Terzo Fondo per le Infrastrutture, and Finavias S.à r.l., as sellers. The agreement regulates the terms and conditions of the acquisition of 99.94% of the share capital of 2i Rete Gas S.p.A. The contractual consideration for the purchase amounts to 2,060 million euros for 100% of the share capital of 2i Rete Gas, in addition to interest accrued on the offered price by the Locked Box Date (i.e., December 31, 2023) at the closing date with an interest rate indicated in the contract (the so-called ticking fee), deducted by any leakages and interest accrued on them from the date on which the leakages occurred until the closing date.

The completion of the acquisition of 2i Rete Gas is subject to the fulfilment (or the waiver, if possible) of certain conditions precedent. According to the relevant contract, the completion of the acquisition of 2i Rete Gas is

subject to the fulfillment (or waiver, where provided in the Purchase agreement) by May 31, 2025 (expiry date or Longstop date) of regulatory authorisations, such as those to be obtained from the Italian Antitrust and the Italian Prime Minister's Office, as well as the Foreign Subsidies Regulation (FSR) authorization provided for under Regulation (EU) 2022/2560..

Risks

Risks concerning compensation and litigation (215,996 thousand euro) relate to possible claims for compensation arising from ongoing litigation, with a low probability that the pertinent economic risk will arise.

FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

There follows a description of Italgas' policies and principles for the management and control of the risks arising from the financial instruments. In accordance with IFRS 7 - "Financial instruments: Additional information", there are also descriptions of the nature and size of the risks resulting from such instruments.

Interest rate risk

Fluctuations in interest rates affect the market value of Italgas' financial assets and liabilities and its net financial expense.

An increase in interest rates, not implemented – in full or in part – in the regulatory WACC, could have negative effects on the assets and on the economic and financial situation of the Italgas Group for the variable component of the debt in place and for future loans.

At full performance, Italgas aims to maintain a debt ratio between a fixed rate and floating rate to minimise the risk of rising interest rates. As at 31 March 2025 the financial debt at floating rate was 22.4% and at fixed rate was 77.6%. Please refer to the paragraph "Current and non-current financial liabilities" for further details.

Credit risk

Credit risk is the exposure to potential losses arising from counterparties failing to fulfil their obligations. Default or delayed payment of amounts owed may have a negative impact on the Italgas financial results and financial situation.

The rules for customer access to the gas distribution service in Italy are established by the relevant regulatory Authority and set out in the Network Codes, namely, in documents that establish, for each type of service, the rules regulating the rights and obligations of the parties involved in the process of providing said services and contain contractual conditions that reduce the risk of non-compliance by customers, such as the provision of bank or insurance guarantees on first request.

In addition to this, in order to manage credit risk, the Group has established procedures for monitoring and assessing its customer portfolio. The reference markets are the Italian and Greek markets.

In the energy efficiency sector activities, credit risk is mitigated by the use of incentive instruments (mainly the Superbonus) – the latter in any case being influenced by the risk of managing the obligations that allow for the tax recognition of the credits – which guarantee the financial hedging of significant portions of the amounts of the interventions. In this context, the contracts entered into by the Group provide for clauses that guarantee the possibility of recourse against customers in the event that the incentive cannot be obtained/withdrawn. Recourse against customers, however, implies continued exposure to credit risk.

As of 31 March 2025 there were no significant credit risks. Note that on average: (i) in Italy, 98.7% of trade receivables relating to gas distribution are settled by the due date and 99.7% within the next 4 days; (ii) in Greece, an average of 97.8% of trade receivables relating to gas distribution are settled by the due date and almost all within the next 4 days, confirming the strong reliability of the customers.

It cannot be ruled out that Italgas could incur liabilities and/or losses due to its customers' failure to fulfil their payment obligations.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that new financial resources may not be available (funding liquidity risk) or that the company may be unable to convert assets into cash on the market (asset liquidity risk), meaning that it cannot meet its payment commitments. This may affect profit or loss should the company incur extra costs to meet its commitments or, in extreme cases, lead to insolvency and threaten the company's future as a going concern.

Also on the basis of the investment plans in place and the transactions contemplated in the short term, Italgas does not expect any significant negative impact on liquidity risk considering that: (i) the Company has liquidity deposited with primary credit institutions for an amount of 2,577.9 million euro as at 31 March 2025, and (ii) at 31 March 2025 Italgas had a Euro Medium Term Notes (EMTN) programme in place for a maximum total nominal value of 10 billion euro, of which 6.6 billion euro drawn, (iii) on 8 March 2024, Italgas entered into a 600 million euro Sustainability Linked Revolving Credit Facility with a pool of leading financial institutions with a maximum maturity of 5 years.

Italgas aims, in financial terms, at establishing a financial structure that, in line with its business objectives, ensures a level adequate for the group in terms of the duration and composition of the debt. The achievement of this financial structure will take place through the monitoring of certain key parameters, such as the ratio between debt and the RAB, the ratio between short-term and medium-/long-term debt, the ratio between fixed rate and floating rate debt and the ratio between bank credit granted and bank credit used.

Although the Italgas Group has relationships with diversified counterparties with a high credit standing, based on a policy of managing and continuously monitoring their active credit risk, the default of an active counterparty or the difficulty of selling off assets on the market could have a negative impact on the Italgas Group's financial position and performance.

As for the sensitivity on the interest rate, any changes in interest rates do not lead to significant effects in consideration of the fact that 77.6% of the Group's financial debt is at fixed rate.

Rating risk

Among the factors that define the risk perceived by the market, creditworthiness, assigned to Italgas by rating agencies, plays a decisive role since it influences the ability to access sources of financing and the related economic conditions. A worsening of this creditworthiness could, therefore, limit access to the capital market

and/or increase the cost of financing sources, with consequent negative effects on the Group's financial position and performance.

On 9 October 2024, the rating agency Fitch confirmed the long-term credit rating of Italgas S.p.A as BBB+, with Stable outlook.

On 10 October 2024, the rating agency Moody's confirmed the Baa2 long-term credit rating, with Stable outlook.

Based on the methodologies adopted by the rating agencies, the downgrade of one notch in the Italian Republic's current rating could trigger a downward adjustment in Italgas' current rating, which in turn could have an impact on the cost of future debt.

Debt covenant and default risk

As of 31 March 2025 there are no loan agreements containing financial covenants and / or secured by collateral, with the exception of the EIB loan signed by Toscana Energia which provides for compliance with certain financial covenants3 . Some of these contracts provide, inter alia, for the following: (i) negative pledge undertakings, pursuant to which Italgas and the subsidiaries are subject to limitations regarding the creation of real rights of guarantee or other restrictions concerning all or part of the respective assets, shares or goods; (ii) pari passu and change of control clauses; (iii) limitations on some extraordinary transactions that the company and its subsidiaries may carry out. These commitments have been fulfilled as of the most recent date specified in the agreement.

Notes issued by Italgas as at 31 March 2025 as part of the Euro Medium Term Notes programme provide for compliance with covenants that reflect international market practices regarding, inter alia, negative pledge and pari passu clauses.

Failure to comply with the commitments established for these loans - in some cases only when this noncompliance is not remedied within a set time period - and the occurrence of other events, such as cross-default events, some of which are subject to specific threshold values, may result in Italgas to Toscana Energia failure to comply and could trigger the early repayment of the related loan.

With reference to the EIB, the related contracts contain a clause whereby, in the event of a significant loss of concessions, there is a disclosure obligation to the EIB and a subsequent consultation period, after which the early repayment of the loan may be required.

The Group monitors these information closely in the context of financial management and business performance.

Market value of financial instruments

Below is the classification of financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value in the Statement of Financial Position in accordance with the fair value hierarchy defined on the basis of the significance of the inputs used in the measurement process. More specifically, in accordance with the characteristics of the inputs used for measurement, the fair value hierarchy comprises the following levels:

  • a) level 1: listed prices (unadjusted) on active markets for identical financial assets or liabilities;
  • b) level 2: measurements made on the basis of inputs differing from the quoted prices referred to in the previous point, which, for the assets/liabilities submitted for measurement, are directly (prices) or indirectly (price derivatives) observable;
  • c) level 3: inputs not based on observable market data.

In connection with the above, classification of the assets and liabilities measured at fair value in the Interim Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Position according to fair value concerned the IRS and exchange rate derivative instruments (16.389 thousand euro as of 31 March 2025 and 16,860 thousand euro as of 31 December 2024) classified level 2 and recorded in "Other current and non-current financial assets/liabilities".

3 The contracts contain a clause whereby, in the event of a significant reduction in EBITDA resulting from the loss of concessions, there is a disclosure obligation to the EIB and a subsequent consultation period, after which the early repayment of the loan may be required. The economic and financial parameters as at 31 December 2024 have been respected

Equity investments measured at fair value recorded in "Non-current financial assets" (21,441 thousand euro as of 31 march 2025 and 20,359 thousand euro as of 31 December 2024) increased for 1,082 thousand euro. The change in value includes the acquisition of additional stakes in Picarro (325 thousand euro), the positive effect on the income statement regarding the valuation of Reti Distribuzione (39 thousand euro) and the effect on OCI of the valuation of Picarro (718 thousand euro) and fall under the level 3 fair value category.

Disputes and other measures

Italgas is involved in civil, administrative and criminal cases and legal actions related to its normal business activities. According to the information currently available and considering the existing risks, Italgas believes that these proceedings and actions will not have material adverse effects on its Interim Consolidated Financial Statements.

Below is a summary of the most significant proceedings; no provisions have been made pursuant to IAS 37 for these proceedings in the financial statements, as the company deems that the risk of an adverse outcome is possible, but not likely, or the amount of the allocation cannot be reliably estimated.

Civil dispute

Italgas Reti S.p.A. / Municipality of Rome – Rome Civil Court

The Municipality of Rome, where Italgas Reti carries out the gas distribution service on the basis of a specific service contract, after a series of discussions aiming at reaching an agreement for the adjustment of timetable for the implementation of the business plan, charged Italgas Reti with contractual breaches given by alleged delays in the execution of the plan itself. In rejecting the claims of the Municipality of Rome, Italgas Reti had already filed an appeal with the Lazio Regional Administrative Court on 11 January 2019 for cancellation of the notice with which the Municipality of Rome had starting the procedure to apply default penalties. Subsequently, on 19 December 2019, the Municipality of Rome notified Italgas Reti of a managerial resolution in which it quantified the amount allegedly owed by Italgas Reti by way of penalty for the alleged failure to timely implement the Business Plan at 91,853,392.79 euro, and reserved the right to enforce the bank guarantee issued to guarantee the proper performance of the aforesaid contract. On 20 January 2020, Italgas Reti contested the aforementioned managerial resolution at the Lazio Regional Administrative Court and submitted, as a precautionary measure, a petition to suspend the effect of the measure, disputing, among other things, (i) the invalidity due to vagueness of the penalty clause, (ii) non-existence and/or in any case non-

chargeability of Italgas Reti for the breaches challenged by the Municipality of Rome, (iii) waiver by the Municipality to promptly apply the penalty clause, (iv) violation of the procedure to apply the penalty clause. The Regional Administrative Court of Lazio, however, expressed some doubts as to the applicability of its jurisdiction. In light of these circumstances, the lodging of an appeal before the Court of Cassation was proposed for the prior settlement of jurisdiction.

During the chamber proceedings of 22 April 2020, the Regional Administrative Court with Order no. 4140/2020 acknowledged the proposal for prior settlement of jurisdiction and suspended the proceedings and, considering itself to be without jurisdiction, declared the precautionary application inadmissible. On 13 May 2020, Italgas Reti challenged this order before the Council of State, which upheld the precautionary appeal filed by Italgas Reti, suspending the effectiveness of the first instance order until the definition of the merits.

On 12 January 2021, following the aforesaid jurisdictional ruling, the Court of Cassation declared the Jurisdiction of the Ordinary Court. Therefore, on 11 February 2021, Italgas Reti resumed the proceedings before the Civil Court of Rome.

In addition, on 5 June 2020, Italgas Reti lodged an appeal with the Regional Administrative Court of Lazio, by which it requested that the Municipality of Rome be ordered to pay Italgas Reti compensation of the total amount of 106,290,396.25 euro resulting from the failure of the Municipality of Rome to comply with the concession contract. Subsequently, consistent with the previous judgement, the Regional Administrative Court reaffirmed the jurisdiction of the Ordinary Court and Italgas Reti resumed the judgement before the Ordinary Court of Rome, asking for a joining with the judgement concerning the penalties applied by Municipality of Rome. The evidentiary hearing for both court cases, which have been combined, has been set for 11 July 2023. Following the hearing, the judge ordered an Expert's Report (CTU) to be carried out in the course of 2024. At the hearing on 11 December 2024, the judge invited the parties to come to a settlement on the dispute, adjourned – in the absence of a settlement – the hearing to 1 July 2025 for the same issues and for a possible settlement of the dispute.

Lastly, it should also be noted that on 17 November 2021, Italgas Reti obtained an order from the Court of Rome suspending the effects of the penalty quantification measure and preventing the Municipality of Rome from enforcing the surety given in relation to the penalty payment claims.

Also on the basis of an external legal opinion, the Company, at present, does not believe that the risk of losing the dispute it's more likely than not.

Municipality of Venice / Italgas Reti S.p.A. – Court of Venice

On 24 April 2019, the Municipality of Venice served, at the Court of Venice, a writ of summons, aimed at the verification and consequent payment by Italgas Reti of 59,006,552.03 euro as a consideration for use of the portion of the network subject to free acquisition for the period between 1 June 2010 and 31 December 2018 as well as the sums due for the same reason for the period after 31 December 2018 and until the final judgement.

Italgas Reti disputed the payment request brought by the Municipality, requesting the rejection of the claims on the basis of the fact that: a) the Municipality had received the network as a free transfer, thus without any financial outlay to be remunerated; b) no legislative reference exists that makes it possible to tie the determination of the fee for use of the network to the tariffs defined by ARERA; c) the fee for use of the assets of the so-called Block A had been included in the fee agreed with a later additional deed. In the alternative, Italgas Reti requested: a) the redetermination of the "appropriate" fee that Italgas Reti would have to pay to the Municipality in the period between 1 January 2013 and 31 December 2018 since, as a result of the Letta Decree, the concession had expired by law on 31 December 2012; b) that the Municipality be ordered to return the amount paid by Italgas Reti in the period between 1 January 2013 and 31 December 2018 but not due to the Municipality (as the difference between the fee paid and the sum of the fees due), namely both the concession fee as well as that related to the use of Block A, as redetermined by the judge.

Having carried out the introductory procedural steps, by order of 26 April 2021, the judge ordered Italgas Reti to produce relevant documentation and consequently scheduled the hearing for 31 May 2022 for examination of the documentation. On 31 May 2022, the Municipality requested that Italgas Reti be ordered to supplement the documentation produced. Italgas Reti opposed the request for supplementation formulated by the Municipality and requested, principally, the postponement of the case for the clarification of the conclusions or, alternatively, the granting of a time limit to possibly counter-respond. At the outcome of the hearing, the Judge requested additional documentation and adjourned the hearing to 17 January 2023. On the date of this document, the Municipality insisted on the admission of a technical expert's report, while Italgas Reti requested that the hearing for clarification of the conclusions be postponed.

At this stage, the judge decided to order an Expert's Report (CTU). At the Date of the Registration Document, the expert's operations had begun. The next hearing, for examination of the CTU, is set first for 24 April 2025 and then, at the request of the CTU, adjourned to 10 July 2025.

Supported by a technical and economic appraisal issued by an expert and on the basis of an external legal opinion, the Company does not believe that the risk of losing the dispute it's more likely than not.

Municipality of Cavallino Treporti / Italgas Reti S.p.A. – Court of Cassation

Following the judgement of the Council of State on the acquisition, free of charge, of the assets included in Block A, the Municipality of Cavallino-Treporti brought a civil proceeding before the Court of Venice in order to recover the sums that it deemed due for the use by Italgas Reti of the Block A assets. The first hearing, set for 17 December 2020, was adjourned to 1 April 2021 and, lastly, until 22 April 2021 for the admission of evidence in support of the respective defence arguments, and subsequently until 13 January 2022 for the final hearing. With judgement delivered on 27 June 2022, the Court of Venice rejected the case of the Municipality of Cavallino-Treporti.

The Municipality of Cavallino-Treporti filed an appeal before the Court of Appeals of Venice. With judgement of 22 April 2024, the Court of Appeals of Venice, albeit raising several doubts on the jurisdiction, rejected the appeal of the Municipality of Cavallino-Treporti.

The Municipality of Cavallino-Treporti then lodged a Court of Cassation appeal against the judgement of the Court of Appeals of Venice, Italgas Reti filed an appearance and, at this stage, a date for the hearing is currently pending. The amount of the claim is 4,699,129.00 euro.

Italgas manages the public natural gas distribution service in the aforementioned Municipality under the terms of the same concession agreements in place with the Municipality of Venice. This is due to the fact that the Municipality of Cavallino-Treporti was established in 1999 as a spin-off portion of the geographic area already falling within the Municipality of Venice.

Supported by an external legal opinion, the Company does not, at present, believe that the risk of losing the dispute it's more likely than not.

Publiservizi S.p.A. / Italgas S.p.A. – Court of Florence

On 25 July 2019, a writ of summons was served on the Issuer by Publiservizi, on its own behalf and as agent of other Municipalities with stakes in Toscana Energia, which claimed the alleged violation of a shareholders' agreement signed on 28 June 2018 between Italgas S.p.A. and Publiservizi, thus requesting that Italgas be ordered to acquire a 3% stake in Toscana Energia S.p.A. (for the price of 70,000,000.00 euro indicated in the tender notice of 20 July 2018) or, in any case, to fulfil the aforementioned shareholders' agreement and, in the alternative, to pay Publiservizi an amount of 59,800,000.00 euro by way of compensation for damages for breach or, alternatively, by way of enrichment without just cause.

Following the exchange of introductory documents, by order of 30 April 2021, the Judge ruled that the case could be settled at that stage and therefore scheduled the hearing for specification of the pleadings for 13 September 2023. With judgement delivered on 11 June 2024, the Court of Florence fully rejected the requests of the writ of summons of Publiservizi. On 13 January 2025, Publiservizi (now Alia) lodged an appeal before the Court of Appeals of Florence against the judgement of the Court of Florence of 11 June 2024 and the next hearing, before the same Court of Appeal, is set for 12 September 2025.

Criminal dispute

The main criminal disputes in which the Group is involved are set out below.

Italgas Reti S.p.A. – Ravanusa Event

The Public Prosecutor's Office at the Court of Agrigento opened an investigation into an explosion that occurred in the town of Ravanusa on 11 December 2021. The event caused a total of 9 victims and the collapse of and damage to several buildings. On 31 December 2021, the Public Prosecutor's Office at the Court of Agrigento served a notice of indictment on ten Italgas Reti employees, to allow for the execution of technical assessments that could not be repeated in joint consultation.

These assessments found the rupture of the steel pipe laid along Via Trilussa in 1988 by Siciliana Gas S.p.A. (company subject to a merger by incorporation into Società Italiana per il gas S.p.A. in 2008, which in turn became Italgas Reti on 7 November 2016). In addition, further laboratory investigations were carried out on

odorising gas and soil samples taken near the site of the event in the days following the explosion and the presence of the odorising molecule was confirmed.

An extension of the preliminary investigation was requested and granted in July 2022, and a subsequent extension request for a further six months was notified in February 2023.

On 16 May 2023, the Public Prosecutor's Office requested the dismissal of the proceedings against all Italgas Reti's defendants, while it issued a notice of conclusion of the preliminary investigation pursuant to Article 415 bis of the Italian Code of Criminal Procedure against individuals of Siciliana Gas S.p.A and the company that had laid the pipeline. It should be noted that the natural person of Siciliana Gas S.p.A. involved in the proceeding did not transfer to Italgas Reti as part of the aforementioned merger by incorporation of Siciliana Gas S.p.A. into Società Italiana per il gas S.p.A.

Following the opposition to the request for dismissal filed by the injured parties, hearings were held before the Court of Preliminary Investigations on 17 October 2023, 5 December 2023, 27 February 2024, 30 April 2024 and 31 May 2024.

Following the hearings, the judge for preliminary investigations ordered further investigations, specifically aimed at studying the inspection and maintenance activities on the network, assigning the Public Prosecutor's Office a term of six months to complete them. The resulting determinations of the Public Prosecutor's Office are pending. On 31 May 2024, the judge for preliminary investigations also ordered the committal for trial of the representatives of Siciliana Gas S.p.A. and of the construction company.

In this proceeding, Italgas Reti appeared as the "civilly liable" party (i.e. the party assuming civil liability on behalf of the representative of Siciliana Gas S.p.A., subsequently merged into Italgas Reti) in the context of the claim opened with the insurance companies for the orderly handling of the claims under the third-party liability policy. At the trial hearing on 12 December 2024, the defence of the Siciliana Gas representative requested an abbreviated trial subject to the expert examination, on which the judge reserved his decision, adjourning the hearing to 20 February 2025.

At the hearing on 20 February 2025, the court rejected the two defendants' request for a summary trial. The next witness hearings will take place on 17 April, 15 May, 12 June and 10 July 2025.

Italgas Reti, after having granted its willingness to the Municipality of Ravanusa to carry out a project for the removal of the rubble resulting from the explosion, completed the work in 2023.

Climate-related risks and impairment

The Group, through ERM, monitors risks related to climate-change issues, which are divided into physical risks, directly due to weather-climate variations, and transition risks, linked to society's socio-economic reaction to climate change.

The identified physical risks are the increased frequency of extreme natural events in the areas where Italgas operates and the rise in average temperatures in the same areas. Italgas constantly monitors the integrity of its infrastructure and adopts new technologies to reduce environmental impact, identify critical issues in advance, and avoid negative impacts on the service level.

The transition risks, on the other hand, are represented by: (i) changes in the regulatory and legislative context regarding greenhouse gases with the aim of limiting emissions, (ii) technological evolution, (iii) uncertainty about the role of natural gas in the future energy mix. To mitigate these risks, Italgas invests in innovative technologies (Picarro Surveyor, Power to Gas), in transforming the network into a digital infrastructure ready for the distribution of gases other than methane (such as hydrogen, biomethane, and e-gas), and in projects in the water and energy efficiency sectors. Additionally, Italgas pursues specific objectives for reducing greenhouse gas emissions, also through energy efficiency projects.

The rise in temperatures and transition risks could have, among other things, a negative impact on the number of active delivery points served and on revenues for the component related to covering operating costs. However, this risk is mitigated by Resolution 570/19 and Determination 4/2023, with which ARERA introduces a revenue adjustment mechanism aimed at compensating for the consequences of the reduction in delivery points in individual locations.

Finally, with reference to the risk related to gas demand, it is noted that under the tariff system currently applied to natural gas distribution services, revenue hedging mechanisms are envisaged. Finally, with reference to the risk related to gas demand, it is noted that under the tariff system currently applied to natural gas distribution services, revenue hedging mechanisms are envisaged.

For these reasons, it is believed that, also considering the specific business and sectors in which it operates, the Group currently has limited exposure to the impacts that possible climate risks could have on the valuation of non-current assets and other assets, including receivables, recorded in the financial statements.

Similarly, due to the systematic monitoring of its assets and the areas on which they are located, the Italgas Group is able to identify in advance possible situations that could generate the emergence of potential liabilities related to climate risks.

International Tax Reform – Pillar Two Model Rules

Legislative Decree no. 209 of 27 December 2023, transposing Council Directive (EU) no. 2022/2523 on "Global Minimum Tax" (also known as "Pillar Two"), introduced a reference regulation in Italy to guarantee a minimum level of taxation for multinational and national groups of businesses, applicable from 1 January 2024. Council Directive (EU) no. 2022/2523 was also adopted in Greece with Law 5100/2024.

The new provisions apply to undertakings operating in Italy and Greece belonging to multinational or national groups with consolidated annual revenues of 750 million euro or higher, calculated as an average in at least two of the four financial years immediately prior to the reporting year. The objective of the legislation is to ensure that such undertakings are subject to an effective minimum tax rate of 15%, with possible tax supplements required in jurisdictions that do not reach this level.

The regulation in question applies to Italgas S.p.A. and its subsidiaries since they form part of the CDP Group. Cassa Depositi e Prestiti S.p.A., as ultimate parent entity ("UPE"), is responsible for carrying out the minimum tax calculations based on the data provided by the subsidiaries.

The calculations for Italgas and its subsidiaries were completed with regard to the 2024 tax year, and no liabilities for additional tax assessments have emerged.

REPORT ON REVIEW OF INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

To the Board of Directors of Italgas S.p.A.

Introduction

We have reviewed the accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements of Italgas S.p.A. and subsidiaries (the "Italgas Group"), which comprise the interim condensed consolidated statement of financial position as of March 31, 2025 and the interim condensed consolidated income statement, interim condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income, interim condensed consolidated statement of changes in equity and interim condensed consolidated cash flow statement for the three-month period then ended, and the related explanatory notes. The Directors are responsible for the preparation of this interim financial information in accordance with the International Accounting Standard applicable to the interim financial reporting (IAS 34) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board and adopted by the European Union. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim financial information based on our review.

Scope of 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 condensed consolidated financial statements 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 (ISA Italia) 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.

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Italgas Group as at March 31, 2025 are not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the International Accounting Standard applicable to the interim financial reporting (IAS 34) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board and adopted by the European Union.
