1In the first 9M 2021, the adjusted EBITDA excludes non-recurring costs for Euro 17.4 million (Euro 10.2 million at the gross profit level), mainly related to the announced closure, starting from June 2021, of the Ormož production plant in Slovenia, and also a non-recurring income of Euro 17 million due to the release of a provision for risks and charges booked in 2015 to cover a potential estimated liability in relation to an investigation by the French Competition Authority. The release is a result of the positive outcome, without sanctions, of this investigation.

In Q3 2021, the adjusted EBITDA excludes non-recurring costs for Euro 1.7 million (Euro 1.8 million at the gross profit level).
