Explanatory notes
Accounting standards and scope of consolidation
The Interim Management Statement of the Sabaf Group at 31 March 2026 is prepared in compliance with the Stock Exchange Regulations that establish, among the requirements for maintaining the listing on the STAR segment of the MTA, the publication of interim management reports.
This report does not contain the information required in accordance with IAS 34.

- the financial statements used in the consolidation process are those prepared by the subsidiaries for the period ended 31 March 2026, adjusted to comply with Group accounting policies, where necessary;
- the parent company Sabaf S.p.A., the subsidiaries Faringosi Hinges, Sabaf Brazil, Sabaf Turkey, Sabaf China, A.R.C., Sabaf India, C.M.I., C.G.D., Sabaf Mexico, P.G.A., Sabaf America and Mansfield Engineered Components LLC (MEC) were consolidated on a line-by-line basis.

In the first quarter of 2026, the international macroeconomic environment was characterised by growing uncertainty, mainly linked to the conflicts in the Middle East, which had a significant impact on the household appliances sector.
The Sabaf Group achieved sales revenue of €70 million, down 6.2% compared to €74.6 million in the first quarter of 2025 (-3.3% at constant exchange rates).
Sales continued to grow in Europe (€22.9 million, up 8%) and in South America (€9.6 million, up 2.5%), driven by the contribution of projects launched with major customers. By contrast, the regions most exposed to geopolitical tensions showed marked weakness, with sales in Turkey totalling €16 million (-16.5%) and in Africa and the Middle East totalling €2.1 million

(-49.3%). In North America, the Group generated revenues of €15.3 million (-7.6%, but +1.9% at constant exchange rates), bucking the market trend, which saw a sharp slowdown.
Normalised EBITDA for the first quarter of 2026 was €9.5 million, or 13.6% of sales, compared to the figure of €10.4 million (14%) in the first quarter of 2025. The decline in profit margins is due to the negative impact of exchange rates caused by the weakness of the dollar.
Normalised EBIT was €4.5 million (6.4%), down 14.8% compared to €5.2 million in the first quarter of 2025 (7%).
Normalised net profit for the period attributable to the Group was €2.6 million (€3.5 million in the first quarter of 2025).

|---|---|---|---|
| Opening liquidity | 34,536 | 30,641 | 30,641 |

At 31 March 2026, the impact of the net working capital⁴ on revenue was 29.5% compared to 25% at 31 March 2025 and 27.6% at 2025 year-end and reflects an increase in inventory of €5.7 million. The increase in finished goods stock is due to the postponement of certain deliveries to the second quarter (caused by the conflict in Iran) and the build-up of raw material stock was aimed at ensuring the continuity of supplies.
During the quarter, €3.4 million was invested; free cash flow generated amounted to €0.6 million (compared with €5.3 million in the first quarter of 2025).
At 31 March 2026, net financial debt was €79.3 million (€75.2 million at 31 December 2025 and €70.6 million at 31 March 2025), against a shareholders' equity of €165.5 million. The net financial debt at 31 March 2026 includes €15.5 million for the financial liability related to the accounting of the put option granted to the minority shareholders of the US company, MEC, purchased in 2023 and €6.7 million for financial lease liabilities recognised in accordance with IFRS 16.
Significant non-recurring, atypical and/or unusual transactions
During the first quarter of 2026, the Group did not engage in significant transactions qualifying as non-recurring, atypical and/or unusual, as envisaged by the Consob communication of 28 July 2006.
Sabaf Group / Interim management statement at 31 March 2026 14
Outlook
Sales trends and order intake in April and May point to an improvement in results in the second quarter, despite a market environment that remains challenging. The conflict in the Middle East is causing significant inflationary pressure on raw materials and energy, in response to which the Group has already taken steps to adjust its selling prices.
In line with the plan, production activity is continuing to grow at the recently operational plants in Mexico and India, which are expected to make a significant contribution to the year's results.
