The US tariff scenario is still evolving, with negotiations going on between the US and its major commercial partners. The impact and duration of duties remain uncertain. Should current tariffs be maintained for the full year, a mitigation plan is already in place to guarantee the Adj. Ebit and cash generation targets at the lower end of the guidance, therefore achieving the deleveraging target.

Non-IFRS and Other Performance Measures

This Presentation contains certain items as part of the financial disclosure which are not defined under IFRS. Accordingly, these items do not have standardized meanings and may not be directly comparable to similarly-titled items adopted by other entities.

Pirelli management has identified a number of "Alternative Performance Indicators" ("APIs"). These APIs (i) are derived from historical results of Pirelli and are not intended to be indicative of future performance, (ii) are unaudited non-IFRS financial measures derived from the Financial Statements, and (iii) are not an alternative to financial measures prepared in accordance with IFRS.

The APIs presented herein are EBIT, EBIT margin, EBITDA, EBITDA margin, net income and net income margin.

In addition, this Presentation includes certain measures that have been adjusted by us to present operating and financial performance net of any non-recurring events and non-core events. The adjusted indicators are EBITDA adjusted, EBIT adjusted and net income adjusted. In order to facilitate the understanding of our financial position and financial performance, this Presentation contains other performance measures, such as Net Financial Position, Operating Cash Flow, Net Cash Flow before Dividends and extraordinary Operations, Net Cash Flow before Dividends, Net Cash Flow, CapEx (Capital Expenditure), Liquidity Margin and ROIC (Return On Invested Capital).

These measures are not indicative of our historical operating results, nor are they meant to be predictive of future results.

These measures are used by our management to monitor the underlying performance of our business and operations. Similarly entitled non-IFRS financial measures reported by other companies may not be calculated in an identical manner, consequently our measures may not be consistent with similar measures used by other companies. Therefore, investors should not place undue reliance on this data.
