*******************
Rome, 5 November 2025 – Leonardo's Board of Directors, convened today under the Chairmanship of Stefano Pontecorvo, examined and unanimously approved the 2025 first nine months results.
"The results for the first nine months of 2025 confirm the Group's positive performance. Steadily volume growth and solid profitability continue to underpin our competitive positioning in both domestic and international markets. We reaffirm our 2025 guidance - revised upwards last July with more ambitious targets for orders, FOCF and net debt - as well as our commitment to the timely execution of the Industrial Plan, which is progressing in line with the identified strategic priorities. We have further pursued our path of inorganic growth through the acquisition of Iveco Defence, and, in the context of strengthening European alliances, we have signed an MoU with Airbus and Thales to establish a new company in the space sector. This initiative aims to reinforce Europe's strategic autonomy in space and further consolidates Leonardo's role as a leading player in the Aerospace, Defence and Security domain," stated Roberto Cingolani, Chief Executive Officer and General Manager of Leonardo. "Following the appointment of the new Chief Financial Officer, I would like to express, on behalf of the Group, our sincere gratitude to Alessandra Genco for her invaluable contribution and dedication to Leonardo over the years", Cingolani concluded.
The good performance of the Group was consolidated in the first nine months of 2025, confirming its competitive positioning in both domestic and international markets supported by steadily growing volumes and a solid profitability. The good performance of the period, compared with the same period of the prior year, is even more significant inasmuch as it does not include the contribution from the Underwater







Armaments & Systems (UAS) business, which had been recognised under the Defence Electronics & Security sector until 2024 and sold to Fincantieri in early 2025.
In the first nine months of 2025, New Orders increased significantly reaching €bil. 18.2 (+23.4% compared to the figure of the comparative period, +24.3% compared with the like-for-like figure), confirming the continuing strengthening of the core businesses and also as a result of an important order in the Aeronautics sector, within a market environment where demand for security remains high. The book-tobill stood at 1.4.
Revenues came to €bil. 13.4 showing a significant increase (+11.3% compared to the figure of the comparative period, +12.4% compared with the like-for-like figure), and EBITA was equal to €mil. 945 (+18.9% compared to the restated (*) figure of the comparative period, +22.7% compared with the like-forlike figure), in line with expectations and the sustainable growth path envisaged in the Industrial Plan of Leonardo.
Free Operating Cash Flow, negative for €mil. 426 as a result of the usual interim trend, showed an improvement compared to the comparative period (+22.5%, +22.3% compared with the like-for-like figure) demonstrating the effectiveness of the actions undertaken. The FOCF performance and the consideration received as part of the sale of the UAS business, equal to about €mil. 446, result in a positive effect on the Group Net Debt, down by about 25.9% compared to 30 September 2024.
(*) The figure for the comparative period is presented in restated form as a result of the revision of EBITA, starting from the 2024 Financial Statements, with reference to the valuation of strategic investments.

(*) The figure at 30 September 2024 is presented in restated form as a result of the revision of the KPI with reference to the valuation of strategic investments. Specifically, starting from the 2024 Financial Statements, the share of net result of strategic investees, which is already recognised within the Group's EBITA as part of their valuation at equity, now no longer includes any non-recurring, extraordinary or nonroutine items in the income statement; in line with Leonardo's policies and the approach already applied to companies consolidated on a lineby-line basis, these items are deducted from EBITA in order to show profit margins that are not affected by volatility elements. The revision described above also impacted EBITDA and the performance indicators ROS and ROI, while it had no effects on other indicators.
As indicated above, following the finalisation of the sale to Fincantieri of the Underwater Armaments & Systems (UAS) line of business, occurred on 14 January 2025, the figures at 30 September 2025 do not include the contribution from such business that, vice versa, was recognised within the Defence Electronics & Security sector until 2024. In order to make the Group's operational performance more comparable, for some performance indicators we report below the figure of the comparative period – and the related change compared to the current period – excluding the contribution from the UAS business (like-for-like perimeter):

According to the first nine 2025 results and the expectations for the coming quarter, we confirm full year 2025 Guidance updated in July 2025.
This is summarised in the table below:
| FY2024A | FY2025 Guidance(1) |
Guidance 2025 update(1) |
||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| New Orders | (€ mld) | 20.9 | ca. 21 | 22.25 -22.75 |
| Revenue | (€ mld) | 17.8 | ca. 18.6 | ca. 18.6 |

| Group Net Debt | (€ mld) | 1.8 | ca. 1.6(3) | ca. 1.1(4) |




related to the comparative period (€mil. 730) benefitted from the capital gain – equal to €mil. 366 – recognised following the fair value measurement of the Telespazio group performed for the purpose of the line-by-line consolidation of the latter.
The Group Net Debt, equal to €mil. 2,313, decreased compared to September 2024 (down about €bil. 0.8), thanks to the strengthening of the Group's cash generation and to the cash-in of the total amount of €mil. 446 arising from the sale of the UAS business.
Compared to 31 December 2024 (€mil. 1,795) the figure increased mainly as a result of the abovementioned FOCF performance, net of the effect of the abovementioned sale of the UAS business, in addition to the dividends paid for an amount of €mil. 335 (of which €mil. 298 related to Leonardo S.p.a. that, in line with that communicated on the occasion of the 2025-2029 Industrial Plan, paid a dividend almost doubled equal to € 0.52 per share in 2025 vs € 0.28 per share in 2024).

(**) 2024 figure not including the contribution from the Underwater Armaments & Systems (UAS) business (isoperimeter).


The first nine months of 2025 confirmed the positive trend of the sector and showed, compared to the same period of 2024, Revenues and EBITA significantly increasing and a volume of New Orders, substantially in line, as expected. During the period, 115 new helicopters were delivered (109 in the same period of 2024).
New Orders. In line, confirming the success of products in addition to services of customer support offered by the sector. Among the main acquisitions for the period we note:
Revenues. These increased (+13.1%), with a higher contribution from the AW family dual-use helicopter lines, as well as on CSS&T (Customer Support, Services & Training).
EBITA. This increased considerably (+18.1%) mainly as a result of higher revenues, with a ROS slightly improving.


The first nine months of 2025 were characterised by an excellent performance, with particular regard to the scope of the European Electronics which recorded volumes and profitability sharply growing compared to the same period of the prior year, although the figure excluded the contribution from the Underwater Armaments and Systems business sold at the beginning 2025. Revenues and profitability were increasing also for the subsidiary Leonardo DRS, despite the unfavourable effect of the USD/Euro exchange rate.

(*) Restated figure as a result of the revision of the KPI with reference to the valuation of strategic investments. Average €/USD exchange rate: 1.11802 (first nine months of 2025) and 1.0870 (first nine months of 2024).
New orders. These increased compared to 30 September 2024. Among the main acquisitions of the period, we point out:
• the additional order for the European Common Radar System (AESA Active Electronically Scanned Array radar) which will be installed on the Eurofighter Typhoon aircraft of the Royal Air Force. The ECRS Mk2 radar has a newly-developed multi-functional array (MFA) which enhances traditional radar functions, such as searching and tracking targets, and electronic warfare capabilities;


Revenues. Volumes showed a sharp increase from the comparative period (+12.5% compared to the figure at 30 September 2024 on a like-for-like perimeter), also as a result of the acquisitions made during 2024, both in the European Electronics component (+13.3% compared with the like-for-like figure) and within the subsidiary Leonardo DRS (+11.7%), despite the unfavourable effect of the USD/Euro exchange rate.
EBITA. Profitability was increasing in all the main business areas, mainly due to higher volumes from both the European Electronics component (+18.1% compared with the like-for-like figure of the comparative period) and from the subsidiary Leonardo DRS (+15.4%), despite the abovesaid exchange rate effect. The contribution given by the strategic investee MBDA was positive.


| New orders | Revenue | EBITA | ROS | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Leonardo DRS (\$mil.) September 2024 | 2,807 | 2,253 | 204 | 9.1% |
| Leonardo DRS (\$mil.) September 2025 | 3,151 | 2,588 | 243 | 9.4% |
The Cyber & Security Solutions sector reported an excellent performance in the nine months of 2025, with volumes and profitability increasing significantly compared to the same period of the prior year.
New orders. These were considerably up against the comparative period (+19.5%), with a book to bill equal to 1.3. Major acquisitions in the period included:
Revenues. Volumes showed a sharp increase compared to 30 September 2024 (+19.0%), also as a result of the orders obtained during 2024 and in the first months of 2025.
EBITA. This was sharply increasing (+86.4%) mainly due to higher volumes and improved profitability (ROS +2.8 p.p. on the comparative period).


As mentioned earlier, in 2025 the Aircraft and Aerostructures Business Units, which had been recognised as separate Sectors until the 2024 Financial Statements, have been brought together into the Aeronautics Sector, which also includes the strategic investee GIE ATR and the Global Combat Air Programme (GCAP), previously recognised among the Other Activities. In order to make comparable the performance of operations, the indicators of the Aeronautics Sector for the comparative period have been restated.
In line with the Sector's growth path, the excellent commercial performance recorded in the third quarter of 2025, which benefitted from the order for the provision of logistic support for the Eurofighter aircraft fleet of Kuwait, highlighted a significant increase compared with the first nine months of 2024. From a production point of view:

(*) Restated figure as a result of the revision of the KPI, with reference to the valuation of strategic investments.


New orders. These were significantly up (+149.0%) compared to 30 September 2024 in the Aircraft and Aerostructures BUs. Specifically, the Aircraft BU mainly benefitted from the order related to the logistic support contract concerning the Kuwait programme and the acquisition of 2 C-27J multi-role aircraft for an export customer, in addition to higher orders for the Global Combat Air Programme (GCAP). With reference to the Aerostructure BU, we highlight an important increase thanks to the recovery of the orders for Boeing fuselages.
Revenues. On a rise compared to 30 September 2024 (+13.0%), mainly for the Aircraft BU especially in relation to the C-27J, GCAP and EFA programmes. The Aerostructures BU showed a slight improvement as a result of higher activities on the B787 and A220 programmes. Within the Aircraft BU, the contribution from the Service segment remained stable representing about 34% of total revenues in September 2025.
EBITA. The decline compared with the same period of 2024 (-20.0%) was due to the result of the GIE-ATR consortium, as a result of lower deliveries, in addition to the lower contribution from the Aerostructures BU, in line with the expectations, because of the increase in operating costs which were affected by the production sites working at lower capacity and the effects of inflation on the labour cost, which were partially offset by a recovery of margins. The Aircraft BU improved, confirming a very good level of profitability despite a different mix of activities with a growth of volumes under the C-27J and GCAP programmes, characterised by a considerable share of pass-through activities.
The Sector showed an improved performance in all the main indicators, benefitting also from the partial recovery of the manufacturing component of the Space Alliance.
New orders. These were up compared to the same period of 2024 (+37.6%), benefitting from the growth of Telespazio in the Satellite Systems and Operations (SSO) business. Major acquisitions included contracts with the Italian Space Agency (ASI) for the COSMO-SkyMed follow-on, with the Italian MoD (Ministry of Defence) for the Maintenance in Operational Conditions (MOC) programme within the SSO and with the Ministry of Environment and Energy Security (the Italian MASE) for data supply and the Nazar order as part of the GeoInformation business line. The manufacturing segment of Leonardo gave a positive contribution, of which we note the acquisition of the order for the supply of a tool supporting the SBG (Surface, Biology and Geology) mission for the European Space Agency (ESA).
Revenues. These were on a rise (+14.0%) as a result of the increase in the SatCom business, for higher activities on military programmes, in the Satellite Systems and Operations business, mainly for the Moonlight program, in the GeoInformation business, for the development of the NRRP programmes, of the subsidiary Telespazio. The manufacturing component of Leonardo also contributed positively.
EBITA. This showed a clear growth on the performance of the comparative period, confirming profitability of the Telespazio business, benefitting also from the improved performance of Thales Alenia Space that continued its efficiency path started in 2024.


Below are the main industrial transactions occurred during 2025:




In addition, it should be noted that on 26 May 2025 the Shareholders' Meeting approved the "2025-2027 Share Ownership Plan of Leonardo" (the "Plan"), with the purpose of strengthening the engagement and sense of belonging of the Group's resources, fostering their active participation in the long-term growth, spreading the ownership culture at all and every level, while being aligned with the Italian and foreign best practices. The Plan is divided into three annual cycles – that can be started in 2025, 2026 and 2027 – to which the employees of Leonardo Spa and of the other Group companies based in Italy, in the USA (except Leonardo DRS), in the UK and in Poland can voluntarily have access. Participants, with respect to the allocation of an individual contribution to be used for the purchase of Leonardo S.p.a.'s shares on their behalf ("Purchased Shares"), will receive free shares of Leonardo S.p.a., partially in proportion to the number of shares they have acquired ("Matching shares") and partly on a one-off basis at the time they first subscribe the Plan (the incentive will not be renewed if the employee joins more than one allocation cycle). All shares received for free are subject to a lock-up period (which in Italy lasts three years), the termination of which is subordinated to the employee continuing to maintain his/her employment relationship with Leonardo. 30 June 2025 marked the conclusion of the first period for participation in the 2025 cycle, reserved to the employees of Leonardo S.p.a. and of the Italian companies and saw the participation of 3,854 resources. Accordingly, a total of 46,232 free shares were allocated in September 2025. October 2025 saw the closure of the second period for participation in the 2025 cycle for all the entitled persons, who will receive the free shares starting from December 2025.
Finally, it should be noted that, with reference to the dispute with the Norwegian Ministry of Defence Agency (NDMA) under the contract for the supply of 14 NH90 helicopters entered with NH Industries (NHI, whose shareholders are Leonardo, Airbus Helicopters, and Fokker Aerostructure), on November 1, 2025 was reached an amicable settlement by which all disputes between the parties relating to the Norwegian NH90 program are resolved. The settlement provides that NHI will take back of all helicopters, along with associated spare parts, tools, and mission-specific equipment from Norwegian Government, which will be reintegrated within the NH90 program available to other users of the NH90. NHI will pay the Norwegian Government an agreed cash amount of €mil. 305, in addition to amounts previously paid pursuant to bank guarantees, amounting to approximately €mil. 70.
No new transaction was carried out on the capital market during the first nine months of 2025. However:
After the end of the quarter, on 20 October 2025, as part of the program authorized by the Shareholders' Ordinary Meeting held on 26 May 2025, Leonardo purchased on the Euronext Milan market no. 504,997 Leonardo ordinary shares (equal to approximately 0.0873% of the share capital) for a total consideration of about €mil. 25 (weighted average price of €49.5314 per share), net of commissions. These shares are


intended to serve the current Long-Term Incentive and the Employee Stock Ownership Plans, as well as any other share-based incentive plans that may be implemented.
Moreover, in line with the strategic priorities and the capital allocation targets of the Group, in respect of the capital increase of Avio, Leonardo diluted its stake. To achieve this objective, Leonardo carried out a
"synthetic" transaction consisting in the combination of (a) the disposal of Avio's shares in the market, mainly executed through an accelerated bookbuilding (ABB) procedure carried out on 28 October 2025, addressed to institutional investors for about 2.6 million shares sold at a price of €37.50 per share, and (b) the full exercise of the pre-emption rights related to the residual stake to be exercised in the period between 3 and 17 November. The combined transaction allows for achieving the same result "synthetically" as would be obtained from the alternative of fully transferring the pre-emption rights without participating in the capital increase and will result in the dilution of the shareholding from 28.75% to 19.3%, with net proceeds of around €mil. 21.
As at 30 September 2025, Leonardo SpA. had sources of liquidity for a total of about €mil. 2,625 to meet the financing needs of the Group's recurring operations, all unused at that date and broken-down as follows:
Soon after the closing date of the third quarter, in October 2025, Leonardo entered into a five-year ESGlinked Revolving Credit Facility for an amount of €bil. 1.8 with a pool of international and domestic banks. The new credit facility replaces the existing Revolving Credit Facility of an equal amount which was discharged at the same time, thereby reducing the margin by 30% and extending the duration up to 2030.
In line with Leonardo's sustainability strategy and stimulation system, the credit facility combines two objectives of reducing direct and indirect CO2 emissions of the Group.
The selected ESG parameters contribute to including the Revolving Credit Facility ("RCF") into the set of sustainable sources of financing of Leonardo which account for about 2/3 of the total available funds.
Furthermore, Leonardo has unconfirmed bank lines of credit for a total of €mil. 11,875, of which €mil. 3,762 still available as at 30 September 2025.
Finally, other Group subsidiaries have the following credit facilities:
Finally, Leonardo had in place an EMTN (Euro Medium Term Note) programme, renewed for a further 12 month period in June 2025 on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange, for the possible issue of bonds on the


European market for a total of €bil. 4, to which this year a similar programme for the same amount was added on the Italian Stock Exchange. At the date of this report, both programmes were still available for a total of €mil. 3,500, which is in any case the maximum amount authorised for use for which the two programmes do not add up. Outstanding bond issues are given a medium/long-term financial credit rating by the international rating agencies Moody's, Standard&Poor's and Fitch.
At the date of presentation of this report, Leonardo's credit ratings, compared to those preceding the last change, were then as follows:
| Agency | Previous | Updated | |||

With regard to the impact of positive or negative changes in Leonardo's credit ratings, the only possible effects deriving from further changes, if any, to the credit ratings refer to higher or lower borrowings costs on certain payables of Group (Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loan).
Furthermore, it should be noted that the Funding Agreement between MBDA and its shareholders also provides, among other things, that any change in the rating assigned to the shareholders will result in a change in the applicable margin.
The Board of Directors of Leonardo has acknowledged that the Company has reached an agreement for the mutual termination of the employment relationship with the current Chief Financial Officer, Alessandra Genco.


Under the terms of the agreement, Alessandra Genco will continue to serve as Chief Financial Officer and as the Executive Responsible for the preparation of the Company's accounting documents, pursuant to Article 154-bis of the Consolidated Law on Finance and Articles 25.4 and 25.5 of the Company's By-Laws, until 10 November 2025. She will remain available to the Company until 30 November 2025 to ensure the smooth completion of the handover process already initiated in connection with her succession.
The Board of Directors has appointed Giuseppe Aurilio, currently Chief Operating Officer of Telespazio S.p.A., as the new Chief Financial Officer and Executive Responsible of Leonardo.
Leonardo expresses its sincere gratitude to Alessandra Genco for her invaluable contribution and dedication to the Group over the years, and extends its best wishes for her future professional endeavors.
