As for Europe, excluding Italy, in the first quarter of 2026 there was a significant growth in sales, equal to 16.5% compared to the same period of the previous year. This positive result is in line with the performance of the previous quarter thanks to growth in Turkey, in particular in sales to the local market and some OEMs operating in Central Heating.

America recorded a performance in the first quarter down by 8.7% compared to the same quarter of the previous year, substantially in line at same exchange rates.

Cash flows from current operations for the first quarter of 2026 show the generation of Euro 8.6 million, an improvement compared to Euro 6.0 million in the same period of 2025 thanks to the operating performance achieved in the period.
In the first quarter of 2026, working capital absorbed a total of Euro 4.6 million compared to Euro 1.6 million in the first quarter of 2025. In terms of trade working capital, the first quarter of 2026 remained substantially stable, with the inventory trend growing in view of the seasonality of the Heating & Ventilation business and the Metering order backlog, a trend offset by the other items of commercial working capital. During the period, other current assets absorbed resources of Euro 4.9 million as a result of VAT management as well as for the change in other payables and receivables relating to the normal course of operations.
Investment flows amounted to Euro 2.5 million, substantially in line with those of the same period of 2025.

Financial management includes interest of Euro 1.7 million in the period, in line with the same period of the previous year.
Net debt, therefore, decreased during the first quarter of 2026 by Euro 0.1 million, from Euro 139.3 million to Euro 139.2 million.

Positive cash generation is expected to contribute to a further reduction in net financial debt.
It should be noted that this outlook does not incorporate the potential impacts of protracted international tensions arising from the conflict between the United States and Iran, including potential effects on supply chains and energy prices.
