Q1 2024 TRADING UPDATE

MAY 7, 2024

This presentation may contain forward looking statements based on current expectations and projects of the Group in relation to future events.

Due to their specific nature, these statements are subject to inherent risks and uncertainties, as they depend on certain circumstances and facts, most of which being beyond the control of the Group. Therefore actual results could differ, even to a significant extent, with respect to those reported in the statements.

DISCLAIMER

"In a business environment which is still complex and uncertain, it was again a positive start to the year for our European business, where Carrera and David Beckham kept shining, while North America was affected by a subdued winter season for our sports business and a wholesale eyewear market still weak in the contemporary segment.

In the first quarter, our economic and financial performance was solid. We improved both our industrial and operating margins, and we maintained a good grip on cash flow.

We remain focused on the objectives of our medium-term strategy, enhancing the quality, uniqueness and innovation of our products and services, while solidifying the core assets of our business model." Angelo Trocchia, CEO
