REPORT OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
Dear Shareholders,
THE AUTOMOTIVE MARKET IN 2025
In 2025, world car production grew by 3.7%, driven by China, up 10.4%, and India, up 7.2%. In Japan and Mercosur, production also showed a positive development (+1.3% and +1.8% respectively), while in Europe and the USMCA it fell by about 1%.
Looking at the evolution from the pre-pandemic phase to the present, i.e. from 2019 to 2025, global car production has increased by 4.5%: it has significantly decreased in Europe (-19%), Japan (-13%), South America (-8%), and the USMCA (-6%), while it has increased by 35% in China and 45% in India.
Regarding the production powertrain mix, in 2025, globally the production of electric cars continued to grow, with projections indicating around 15 million BEVs produced, representing a share of around 16% of global production. The market is strongly driven by China, which dominates EV production and demand, accounting for two-thirds of world production. In Europe, BEVs are estimated to account for 16% of total production, growing by about 3 percentage points by 2025, while in the USMCA, BEVs account for only 8% of production, with volumes virtually stagnating.
Global Heavy Duty production in 2025 grew by 4.1%, with sustained growth in Asian markets, China in particular (+24.1%), but also India, Korea and Japan. In Europe, after the sharp drop in 2024, production stabilised on weak volumes in 2025, while in the USMCA the decline continued, with a distinctly negative trend (-27.6%).
Turning to expectations for 2026, S&P Global forecasts a slight decline in global car production (-0.4%), with Europe and NAFTA declining by 1.5% and 2.2% respectively. China, after the strong growth in 2025, is also expected to decline slightly by -1.4%. On the other hand, expectations for India and Mercosur are positive (+7.8% and 5.8% respectively).
Finally, the Heavy Duty sector is also expected to record a slight decline in 2026 (-1.1%), particularly in China and the USMCA, while Europe is expected to recover slightly from the very weak volumes of 2025.
KEY MANAGEMENT INFORMATION
In 2025 Sogefi reported stable revenue at constant exchange rates (-0.1%) compared to 2024. While revenue was down 3.7% at current exchange rates, due to the strengthening of the EUR against all major currencies. Sogefi also reported an increased recurring operating result compared to 2024 excluding non-recurring expenses:
- the Adjusted EBITDA¹ amounted to Euro 136.0 million compared to Euro 134.9 million in 2024, accounting for 13.8% of revenues compared to 13.2% in 2024;
¹ EBITDA is calculated by adding the item “Depreciation and amortization” to the item “EBIT” and the amount of writedowns of tangible and intangible fixed assets (amounting to Euro 1.9 million as at 31 December 2025 and Euro 1.5 million in 2024) included in the item “Other non-operating expenses (income)” in the “Consolidated Income Statement”.
Adjusted EBITDA is calculated by adding “Restructuring costs” and the items “Losses (gains) on disposal”, “Exchange (gains) losses” and “Other non-operating expenses (income)” (with the exception of the amount of writedowns of tangible and intangible assets included in this item as it has already been added to EBITDA) of the

- the Adjusted EBIT² amounted to Euro 59.1 million (+6.9% from Euro 55.3 million in 2024), with an EBIT margin of 6.0% on revenue, compared to 5.4% in 2024;
- non-recurring expenses amounted to Euro 24.6 million compared to Euro 9.6 million in 2025, including restructuring costs for work already performed in 2024 or ongoing at year-end, exchange rate differences and other expenses;
- EBITDA was Euro 111.4 million compared to Euro 125.3 million in 2024;
- EBIT was Euro 34.5 million compared to Euro 45.7 million in 2024;
- Net result of continued operating activities amounted to Euro 13.8 million, compared to Euro 18.0 million in 2024 due to higher non-recurring expenses;
- free cash flow (FCF) from continuing operations was Euro 21.1 million, compared to Euro 30.4 million in 2024, which included positive flows from the deconsolidation of the Filtration business unit;
- the net indebtedness as at 31 December 2025, after the payment of dividends of Euro 17.9 million to the shareholders of Sogefi S.p.A., amounted to Euro 56.3 million (Euro 55.0 million as at 31 December 2024); without considering debt for rights of use (according to IFRS16), the net indebtedness amounted to Euro 19.2 million, compared to Euro 9.5 million at the close of 2024.
2025 RESULTS
Sales revenues
Revenues in 2025 amounted to Euro 984.8 million, -3.7% compared to the same period in 2024. At constant exchange rates and net of Argentina's inflation, revenues in 2025 were in line with those in 2024 (-0.1%): growth in North and South America and China, at constant exchange rates, offset the drop in revenues in Europe.

In Europe, the group's largest market (54% of total revenue in 2025), revenue fell by 4.9%, mainly due to the unfavourable trend in the Passenger Cars market and the decrease in revenue in the Heavy Duty segment, whose business in early 2024 was still very strong.

In the USMCA region (22% of total revenues), revenues at constant exchange rates increased by 6.9% (+1.2% at current exchange rates), in a market that declined by 1%; performance was also positive in China, +4.9% at constant exchange rates (+0.7% at current exchange rates), and in South America, +5.7% at constant exchange rates and net of inflation in Argentina (-8.8% at current exchange rates).

| Intercompany eliminations | (0.3) | 0.3 | - | - |
| TOTAL | 984.8 | 1,022.3 | (3.7) | (0.1) |
The Suspensions business recorded a drop in revenue of 4.5% and 0.8% at constant exchange rates. In Europe, accounting for 67% of the business, revenues fell by 3.7%, mainly due to the Heavy Duty segment (-10.2%), which, as already mentioned, still had strong volumes in the first part of 2024, before the market slump during the year. While in South America and China revenues increased by 5.7% and 4.2% at constant exchange rates, respectively.
Revenues in the Air & Cooling segment declined by 2.5% year-on-year but increased by 0.9% at constant exchange rates. The USMCA area – which accounts for 49% of total revenues – recorded growth of 6.9% at constant exchange rates. This performance, together with growth in China (+5.8%), more than offset the decline recorded in Europe (-7.6%).
Sales revenues by customer
Sogefi has a balanced customer portfolio, no single customer accounts for more than 20% of the Group's revenue. The main customers of Sogefi are Stellantis, GM, Daimler, Ford, Renault and BMW, which together account for approximately 70% of revenues. The composition did not undergo any significant changes during 2025. However, it should be noted that over the past few years, Sogefi's Chinese operations, both for the Air and Cooling and for the Suspension business units, have started new supplies for several local manufacturers.

Adjusted EBITDA amounted to Euro 136.0 million, in line with Euro 134.9 million in 2024, despite revenue drop. EBITDA margin increased from 13.2% in 2024 to 13.8% in 2025.
Industrial margin rose from 29.1% in 2024 to 29.9%, reflecting disciplined pricing and procurement management.
Fixed operating expenses fell by 2.7%, while their ratio to revenues increased slightly from 15.9% in 2024 to 16.1%, due to the decline in revenues.
EBITDA amounted to Euro 111.4 million, compared with Euro 125.3 million in 2024, after non-recurring expenses of Euro 24.6 million (Euro 9.6 million in 2024), of which Euro 20.5 million related to restructuring costs for measures adopted and implemented during 2025 or still in progress at year end, and Euro 4.1 million mainly related to foreign exchange differences. The restructuring measures are focused on the Suspensions business in Europe and primarily involve reducing the fixed costs of the industrial structure in order to preserve competitiveness in response to declining volumes over time in Passenger Cars and Heavy Duty, reflecting the performance of their respective markets.
Adjusted EBIT amounted to Euro 59.1 million, compared with Euro 55.3 million in 2024, and the EBIT margin increased from 5.4% in 2024 to 6.0% in 2025, driven by the increase in the EBITDA margin.
EBIT, including non-recurring expenses, was positive for Euro 34.5 million compared to Euro 45.7 million in 2024.
Financial expenses amounted to Euro 10.2 million, down from 2024 (Euro 14.7 million) due to reduced indebtedness.
Tax expenses amounted to Euro 10.5 million, compared with Euro 13.0 million in 2024.
Operations posted a net profit of Euro 13.8 million compared to Euro 18.0 million in the previous year, a decrease entirely attributable to higher non-recurring expenses.
The comprehensive net income, taking into account the result attributable to minority interests and the net result of discontinued operations, amounted to Euro 10.3 million (Euro 141.3 million in 2024, including the net profit of Filtration in the first five

following changes:
- income, financial expenses and dividends decreased from Euro 223 million to Euro 31.2 million, taking into account that in 2024 they included Euro 145.9 million from the above-mentioned capital gain. The remaining difference (Euro -45.9 million) is due to a reduction in the dividend inflow from subsidiaries (amounting to Euro 34.5 million in 2025 compared with Euro 74.0 million in the previous year), higher net financial expenses of Euro 2.5 million (in 2024, a non-ordinary income had been recognised from the closing of derivative contracts in the amount of Euro 2.3 million) and exchange rate differences, which were negative in the amount of Euro 0.9 million compared with the positive contribution of Euro 3.0 million in the previous year;
- operating costs amounted to Euro 9.8 million, a decrease compared to 2024 (Euro 13.6 million) mainly due to lower amortisation and writedowns, and reduction in personnel costs;
- other operating income, mainly management fees, decreased by Euro 2.8 million, reflecting the reduction in the Parent Company’s management costs;
- finally, with reference to other non-operating costs, they decreased by Euro 2.9 million due to the non-recurring costs recorded in 2024 for the realisation of the Filtration transaction.

| Number of employees | 2,091 | 2,033 | 1,997 | 1,967 | -1.5% |
In 2025, Suspensions achieved revenues of Euro 539.1 million, down by 4.5% from the same period of 2024 (0.8% at constant exchange rates and net of Argentina's inflation).
The drop was due to the performance in Europe, where revenues fell by 3.7%, mainly because of the decline in the Heavy Duty segment (-10.2%), which was mainly attributable to the negative market performance during 2024; the Passenger Cars segment declined by 1.6%, in line with the market performance.
Instead, revenue trends were positive in China, +4.2% at constant exchange rates, thanks to the ramp up of new products also supplied to local players and in South America (+5.7% at constant exchange rates).
EBITDA amounted to Euro 43.3 million compared to Euro 50.4 million in 2024. These results include non-recurring expenses and, in particular, restructuring costs implemented in 2025 on the European companies, as well as those related to ongoing operations. Excluding non-recurring expenses, Adjusted EBITDA was Euro 62.6 million compared with Euro 56.6 million in 2024, with the Adjusted EBITDA margin improving from 10.0% in 2024 to 11.6% in 2025 thanks to the favourable trend of the contribution margin, at 30.7% of revenue compared with 28.8% in 2024, and the reduction of fixed costs in absolute terms.
EBIT amounted to Euro 7.6 million, compared to Euro 16.5 million in 2024; excluding the above-mentioned non-recurring expenses, Adjusted EBIT amounted to Euro 26.8 million, 5.0% of revenues, compared to Euro 22.7 million in 2024 (4.0% of revenues).
The operating result of China, Mercosur and Europe Passenger Cars business improved, while the operating result of Heavy Duty business declined sharply, affected by low volumes, restructuring and extraordinary maintenance costs, in order to improve the industrial performance of the Heavy Duty factories.
Employees at 31 December 2025 were 1,967 (1,997 at 31 December 2024).
In 2025, the Suspension sector won several new orders in Europe, in the Passenger Car, Light Commercial Vehicles and Heavy Duty segments, with new orders also in non-automotive sectors (Defence and Railway applications).
52% of the value of new contracts entered into in 2025 concerns parts for hybrid or electric platforms. This percentage rises to 66% if the Heavy Duty segment is excluded.

It should be noted that the 2022-2023 values exclude the Air and Cooling business activities of the subsidiary Sogefi U.S.A. Inc. sold in May 2024.
In 2025, the Air and Cooling sector reported revenues of Euro 446.0 million, down by 2.5% compared to 2024 at current exchange rates and by +0.9% at constant exchange rates. In Europe, revenues decreased by 7.6% at constant exchange rates, partly due to the market trend and partly to the existing contract portfolio, which was offset by growth at constant exchange rates of 5.8% in China - thanks to the ramp up of new products - and 6.9% in NAFTA.
EBITDA amounted to Euro 71.7 million, slightly down from 2024 (Euro 76.1 million), with an EBITDA margin of 16.1% (16.6% in 2024); the slight decrease is due to the contribution margin performance, which declined slightly due to the development of the mix of production.
EBIT amounted to Euro 33.1 million, in line with the previous year (Euro 33.4 million), and accounts for 7.4% of revenues (7.3% in 2024).
Employees at 31 December 2025 were 1,272 (1,282 at 31 December 2024).
During 2025, Air and Cooling entered into several new business agreements, including supplies of cooling plates for electric vehicles to a leading North American manufacturer and to Chinese customers, and supplies of battery cooling stripes to a leading Chinese battery manufacturer. In Europe, Air and Cooling also won new contracts with a North American leader in global energy solutions for cooling plates, and also new contracts for the supply of conventional components for internal combustion engines.
67% of the value of new contracts entered into in 2025 concerns parts for hybrid or electric platforms.

(*) The notes in the table are explained in detail in the annex at the end of this report.
In the fourth quarter of 2025, the impact of exchange rates was particularly significant; indeed, while revenues were stable at constant exchange rates, at current exchange rates revenues amounted to Euro 239.8 million, a decrease of 6.2%, with trends by geographic area almost in line with those recorded in the previous nine months.
Adjusted EBIT, excluding non-recurring expenses (related to restructuring costs but also to significant foreign exchange differences), was Euro 6.3 million, compared with Euro 9.7 million in the fourth quarter 2024. The Adjusted EBIT margin was 2.6% compared with 3.8% in 2024. This reduction, despite an increase in the contribution margin in line with that recorded in the first nine months of the year, was due to the impact of fixed costs, which was higher in the Suspensions segment, due to costs for extraordinary maintenance activities incurred particularly in the Heavy Duty segment.
The Net income (loss) of operating activities, including significant non-recurring expenses, was thus a negative Euro -16.1 million, compared with a net profit of Euro 2.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2024.
IMPACTS OF THE MACROECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT, THE CONFLICTS IN UKRAINE AND THE MIDDLE EAST, AND THE CLIMATE CHANGE ON OPERATIONS
Impact of the macroeconomic environment on operations
With reference to the macroeconomic environment, global car production is expected to slightly decrease in 2026 (-0.4%), after the positive trend in 2024 (+3.7%) driven by China. By geography, production would slightly decrease in Europe, NAFTA and China, and grow by 7.8% in India and 5.8% in South America.
The automotive sector is being affected by the weak economic performance, particularly in Europe, uncertainties arising from ongoing conflicts and tariffs imposed by the US administration, and difficulties related to the transition to e-mobility (and in particular the Green Deal regulation in Europe), which are leading to high investments despite the
Sogefi | Report on Operations
Telebors: distribution and commercial use strictly prohibited
emarket self- storage CERTIFIED
market performance of electric vehicles falling short of expectations in Europe, as evidenced by the results of car manufacturers, which are recording significant negative impacts due to write-downs of projects and investments in the e-mobility sector.
With reference to tariffs, it is currently difficult to predict: i) whether the current tariff scheme is final, in a constantly changing framework; ii) the effects on the US automotive market, both in terms of domestic demand and in terms of the competitive landscape, as well as those on the export of cars to the US; iii) the impacts on the availability and costs of raw materials in the US, given the complexity of the supply chain and the tariffs adopted against China and on some materials in particular.
Specifically, for the automotive sector, including components, the US administration, after having foreseen - from April/May 2025 - an additional duty of 25% on cars imported from countries other than China, Mexico and Canada (approx. 25% of the cars sold each year in the US), entered into bi-lateral agreements, including one at the end of July with the EU27, which reduced the duty from an additional 25% to an all-inclusive 15%, effective as of August 2025.
As far as production in Mexico and Canada is concerned, imports into the US are subject to the 25% duty, but with an exemption if the imported products are USMCA compliant, i.e., their content originates predominantly in the USMCA area.
In addition, there are further non-specific tariffs that may have a particularly significant impact on the North American automotive sector, namely those on steel and aluminium (50%).
It is likely that the automotive duties applied by the US administration, if maintained, will cause an increase in the sales prices of cars in the US, either i) imported, due to the tariffs, or ii) manufactured locally, due to the increase in production costs caused by the duties on imported components and materials.
The price increase could lead to a decline in new car sales, given the significant price elasticity of demand, also recently demonstrated by the US market.
Declining demand from the North American market would have a negative impact on production within the USMCA area (US, Mexico, Canada) and imports into the US.
With regard to the possible impacts mentioned above, it is still too early to assess the real consequences of the measures taken.
With regard to the direct impact on the Group, the Air & Cooling sector achieved a revenue of Euro 217 million in 2025 in the USMCA area, selling components manufactured in Canada and Mexico mainly to General Motor, Ford and Stellantis, of which 50% were for customers' production plants in Canada and Mexico and 50% imported by customers in the United States. It is estimated that about 70% of the revenues from components exported to the US are related to USMCA-compliant products and thus, based on current forecasts, not subject to tariffs.
Since Sogefi does not directly export to the United States - as its customers do - and does not manufacture in the United States, it is not subject to the import duties currently in force on materials and components. As a result, no significant direct impact from the new tariffs is currently recorded or expected. Regarding procurement, following the introduction of retaliatory tariffs on steel products by Canada, Sogefi's manufacturing operations in Canada are experiencing increased costs for steel components purchased
Sogefi | Report on Operations
17

emarket self- storage CERTIFIED
from U.S. suppliers, although the impact is not currently significant. Therefore, tariff direct impacts on Sogefi are currently not significant.
In the medium term, if tariffs are maintained, Sogefi may be exposed to:
- a risk of loss of competitiveness vis-à-vis competitors producing in the US due to the tariffs that North American customers may have to pay on products purchased from Sogefi in Canada and Mexico; this risk could be mitigated, if not offset, by increases in production costs that competitors in the US could incur due to tariffs on imported raw materials and components.
- the risk of lower volumes in NAFTA and Europe (export) and increased pressure on production costs in the months ahead.
Impacts of the conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East on operations
The direct impact of the Russia-Ukraine conflict on operations was not significant. In fact, Sogefi had a marginal business activity in Russia that was discontinued as of March 2022 and the Russian subsidiary was liquidated in 2023.
Sogefi, like the entire automotive sector, suffered the indirect impacts of the war, and in particular the increase in energy and raw material prices. The trend reversed during 2023 and the downward price trend continued for the main commodities consumed in 2024 and 2025, subject to persistent volatility in energy costs.
The conflict in the Middle East is not expected to have a direct impact on the Group’s business as Sogefi has no operations in the affected areas. With regard to indirect impacts, the increase in energy costs over May-June 2025 should be noted, as well as the risk on the supply chain, particularly related to late delivery of materials transiting the Suez Canal and the Strait of Hormuz. Sogefi closely monitors this risk by taking appropriate mitigation measures (creation of safety stocks, evaluation of alternative suppliers). At present, it is not possible to identify any further indirect impacts.
Climate change: physical and transition risks
Please refer to the Annual Financial Statements as at 31 December 2025 for an analysis of impacts related to climate change and transition risks.
MAJOR EVENTS OCCURRED AFTER YEAR-END
No significant events occurred after 31 December 2025 that could have had an impact on the income statement, balance sheet and financial data presented.
OUTLOOK FOR OPERATIONS
The visibility on the performance of the automotive market in the coming months is heavily penalised by the uncertainties that characterise the geo-political, economic and international trade environment (also in light of the recent developments regarding duties adopted by the US administration).
S&P Global's latest estimate expects that, after growth in 2025 (+3.7%), global car production will decline slightly in 2026 (-0.4%), with a significant drop in the first quarter (-4%) and a later recovery. By geography, there would be a further decline of around 2% in production in Europe and NAFTA, but also, after the significant growth in 2025, a 1.4% drop in China. On the other hand, expected growth is 7.8% in India and 5.8% in South America.

CERTIFIED
With regard to commodity and energy prices, after trending favourably in 2024 and continuing during 2025 (with the exception of energy), there is a risk of increased volatility depending on the impact of US tariffs on the supply chain.
Sogefi, given the weight of Europe and North America in its business portfolio and current exchange rates, for 2026 expects a low/mid-single digit decline in its revenues and an Adjusted EBIT margin substantially in line with that reported in FY 2025, excluding any non-recurring expenses and new events/circumstances negatively impacting the automotive market. In particular, these forecasts are made in a context of significant uncertainty about the evolution of the global economy and car production, as it cannot be ruled out that volumes will fall in the coming months by more than currently expected.
MANAGEMENT OF THE MAIN BUSINESS RISKS
In a context characterised by market instability and a rapid evolution of business dynamics and regulations, careful and effective risk identification and management is essential to i) support an informed decision-making process consistent with strategic goals and ii) ensure corporate sustainability and value creation in the medium-to-long term.
In this regard, as required by the Corporate Governance Code for listed companies of Borsa Italiana S.p.A., ABI, Ania, Assogestioni, Assonime and Confindustria, adopted by the Company as well as by national and international best practices acknowledged in the market, as part of its Internal Control and Risk Management System ("SCIGR"), Sogefi adopted and implemented a structured and formalised ERM (Enterprise Risk Management) process. The purpose of this ERM process is to identify, assess, manage and systematically monitor the main risks that could hinder the achievement of the Group's strategic and business goals, as well as define appropriate information flows to ensure transparency and dissemination of information within the organisation.
The ERM framework is periodically updated, taking into account changes in the business and regulatory environment in which the Group operates, in continuity with past activities and according to the "Guidelines of the internal control and risk management system" approved by the Board of Directors, which outline the governance model of the risk management system, identifying the persons concerned and assigning roles and responsibilities to them, and define the operating model including the analysis and reporting activities to be performed periodically as well as the tools and methods to support them.
In particular, the Board of Directors has identified the following persons/bodies concerned:
a) the Board of Directors, which, with the support of the Control, Risk and Sustainability Committee, plays a policy-making role, by drafting of the Guidelines of the Internal Control and Risk Management System, and assesses the adequacy of the internal control and risk management system, based on the results of the activities carried out by the control functions;
b) the Director in charge of the internal control and risk management system, identified as the Group Executive Chairman who, with the support of the Managing Directors of the Business Units and, where appropriate, of the central functions, is responsible for monitoring the adequacy, functionality and effectiveness of the internal control

and risk management system, ensuring that it is appropriate to the nature and size of the business of the Company;
c) the Control, Risk and Sustainability Committee, set up within the Board of Directors, with the task, among others, of supporting the Board's assessments and decisions relating to the Internal control and risk management system;
d) the Managing Directors of the Business Units, who, with the support of the risk owners and the management, are responsible for ensuring the adequacy, functionality and effectiveness of the internal control and risk management system within their own Business Unit, implementing the same in the context of their own organisation;
e) the "risk owners" and the members of the management, in their role of persons responsible, each within their own sphere of competence and within the terms laid down by the corporate organisation, for identifying, managing and monitoring the risks inherent in the area of corporate operations they supervise;
f) the Risk Management function, in charge of managing the risk management process, with the task to coordinate the identification, assessment and management of relevant risks and their mitigation measures;
g) the manager responsible for preparing the Company's financial reports, who performs the duties provided for by the Company's Articles of Association (article 24) and by the applicable legislation (ex multis, Article 154-bis, Italian Legislative Decree no. 58 of 24 February 1998, the Consolidated Law on Finance or "TUF") and is - in short - responsible for the control system on financial reporting and Sustainability Statement;
h) the Head of the Internal Audit department, responsible for verifying that the internal control and risk management system is efficient, adequate and consistent with the guidelines defined by the Board of Directors;
i) the Supervisory Body pursuant to Article 6, par. 1, letter b) of Italian Legislative Decree no. 231/2001, which is organised in relation to the size, sector, complexity and risk profile of the company;
j) the Board of Statutory Auditors, supervising the effectiveness of the internal control and risk management system.
Risk identification and assessment provide the Board of Directors with a better understanding of the scenarios that could hinder the achievement of set goals and enable it to determine which actions should be taken to prevent, mitigate or manage the main exposures and their order of priority, taking in account the risk appetite.
For more details on the characteristics and operation of the internal control and risk management system, please read the Annual Report on Corporate Governance available on the Company's website.
The ERM framework aims to analyse and evaluate a wide set of risks, which vary in nature and type, including any risks associated with sustainability issues.
The risks potentially applicable to the Group's business model are represented in the so-called Risk Model and grouped in four main risk categories:
- Strategic Risks, relating to the external and business environment or governance strategies and decisions that can significantly affect the Group's performance and/or the achievement of the defined strategic objectives.
- Operational Risks, which can affect the effectiveness/efficiency of business processes, jeopardising the creation of value.
Sogefi | Report on Operations

- Financial Risks, mainly related to exchange rates, interest rates, access to credit, liquidity, which may affect the results and sustainability of the Group’s plans.
- Legal and Compliance Risks, relating to non-compliance with applicable laws and regulations, and/or internal Codes, Policies and Procedures that may lead to legal disputes, financial losses and potential adverse effects on the Group’s reputation.
Further areas of main risk events to which the Group could potentially be exposed are identified within these risk categories.
The model requires that risk assessment activities be carried out on an annual basis by identifying, analysing and assessing priority risks for the Group. Priority risks are managed by defining ad hoc action plans aimed at mitigating the risks, and their evolution is periodically monitored.
With regard to the method for assessing and documenting risks, Sogefi carries out an assessment based on two main variables: the likelihood of the risk event occurring and the potential impact (financial/ reputational/operational) in the event of occurrence. The assumptions used for the risk assessment and the mitigating actions taken by Sogefi in response to the identified risks are detailed in the risk assessment.
The results are also used by the Internal Audit department to prepare its annual Audit Plan, in a risk-based approach that is in line with best practices, so that resources and activities can be allotted to those areas that are considered to be most critical and/or risky.
In the light of the assessments made during 2025, the most significant risks were identified and are summarised below.
1. STRATEGIC RISKS
1.a. Risks related to the external context
With reference to the risks related to the external environment, these were described in the previous section “Management of the main business risks” (“Impacts of the macroeconomic environment, the conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East, and the climate change on operations”); the possible impacts on the Group's operations are summarised below.
Risks related to a potential drop in demand in the automotive sector
Taking into account the current geopolitical environment, technological transition and uncertainties over global tariff policies, a more pronounced market decline than currently forecast for 2026 and a consequent contraction of Sogefi’s sales volumes cannot be ruled out.
Sogefi monitors risk through: i) constant monitoring of the backlog by geographic area/market/product line; ii) a close relationship with customers to identify and anticipate any risks.
In light of the above, the risk is considered probable and significant and for that reason it is closely monitored.
Risks related to the pressure on sales prices
The automotive sector at global level is characterised by a competitive trend that is particularly focused on selling prices; the major OEMs are transferring strong price pressure across the entire value chain, thus posing a potential risk to the margins of products sold by Sogefi.
Sogefi | Report on Operations
Teleborsa: distribution and commercial use strictly prohibited
emarket self- storage CERTIFIED
In this context, Sogefi pays the utmost attention to preserving its profitability through i) appropriate sourcing strategies and ii) careful management of relations and agreements with its customers.
This risk is considered probable but with moderate impact given the stability of raw material prices and mitigating actions in place.
1.b. Transition risks³
The regulatory framework, albeit in a changing context, is giving a boost to decarbonisation and the reduction of emissions, especially in Europe, with impacts on industrial processes and the entire value chain.
The Group implements various actions to reduce emissions, as described in the Sustainability Statement, to which we refer for more details (see section ESRS E1 - Climate Change).
Sogefi closely monitors regulatory developments in the geographical areas in which it operates; the risk that it may not be able to comply with regulatory constraints in terms of decarbonisation is a risk whose potential impact would be significant, but it is considered unlikely.
1.c. Risks related to the company’s technological innovation⁴
In the current context of technological transition, Sogefi could i) lose market shares due to the lack of development of innovative technologies and solutions required by the market or as a result of the introduction of distinctive new products by competitors, and/or ii) incur extra costs for developing new products.
In order to reduce the risks associated with ineffective adaptation of the business model to market, regulatory and technological changes, Sogefi invests in Research and Development and implements monitoring and market benchmarking actions, in a constant dialogue with its customers and suppliers.
In particular, the activity subject to the greatest impact on the demand for its products in the context of transition is Air & Cooling, whose product portfolio mainly includes components for ICE and hybrid engines. This division is engaged in a programme of investment in R&D and acquisition of production capacity to expand its offer, including components for battery cooling, for which it has already acquired a portfolio of contracts with leading car and battery manufacturers.
These risks, although considered unlikely, could have significant impacts on the long-term sustainability of the business and are, therefore, closely monitored by the relevant corporate functions.
2. OPERATIONAL RISKS
2.a. Risks related to human resources management⁵
In a multicultural and constantly changing environment, corporate competitiveness also depends on the ability to identify and manage risks related to human resources, which is
Sogefi | Report on Operations
Telebors: distribution and commercial use strictly prohibited
emarket self- storage CERTIFIED
a topic to which Sogefi has always been committed. The main risks identified in this area are set out below.
Talent attraction, retention and professional development
The labour market is characterised by a shortage of personnel with skills in specialised and technological fields in particular.
In this context, there is a risk that Sogefi’s ability to meet the technological and managerial challenges associated with market evolution will be limited by the actual availability of resources.
In order to reduce the risk of shortage of qualified personnel, Sogefi has adopted the following management policies: i) identifying and enhancing talents and critical skills, through the Group's annual performance review process, with consequent development of special retention plans; ii) collecting and analysing employee feedback on well-being through internal surveys; iii) organising training activities to develop and enhance managerial and technical skills.
This risk is considered likely but with moderate impact given the mitigation actions in place.
Labour cost increase
The evolution of the labour market, as described above, may cause i) a risk of increase in personnel costs that would negatively affect the Group's competitiveness; ii) a risk of high social conflict; iii) a risk of increase in personnel turnover.
In the face of such risks, Sogefi adopts mitigation policies that include: i) constructive social dialogue to seek sustainable agreements; ii) careful management of personnel remuneration policy and talent enhancement; iii) implementation of variable remuneration measures, linked to the achievement of specific targets.
At present, the risk is considered moderate and unlikely in view of market forecasts and falling inflation in the main countries where the Group operates.
Health and safety at work: fire risk in plants
Employee health and safety is a top priority: prevention and protection plans are continuously monitored and updated to effectively protect employees.
In particular, the factories of the Suspensions Business Unit are exposed to the risk of the occurrence of fires that could cause i) health and safety problems; ii) loss or damage to corporate assets; iii) business disruptions, with logistical, commercial, reputational and financial impacts.
In order to minimise these risks, the Group is constantly enhancing prevention measures by strengthening its internal protocols and procedures, drill activities, and engineering and thermographic surveys of potential risk areas.
This risk is considered significant but unlikely in light of the prevention and protection measures in place.

2.b. Risks related to product reliability (i.e., quality and safety)⁶
For Sogefi, managing the risk associated with the possible production and marketing of products that do not comply with industry quality and safety standards, as well as with customer expectations, is a priority.
Any non-compliance - also related to the large-scale manufacturing of innovative products - could actually result in recall campaigns which would have a negative effect on the relations with our customers and on Group’s reputation, although financially mitigated by specific international insurance programmes.
Various risk prevention and mitigation measures are implemented as part of the Group’s Quality Management System: i) application of the main national and international technical standards; ii) identification and monitoring of specific KPIs relating to overall quality performance and customer satisfaction; iii) certifications based on international reference standards.
In view of the above, the risk as a whole is considered to be significant and, as such, carefully controlled.
2.c. Risks of supply chain disruption and commercial pressure on material purchase prices⁷
In the current context of global instability and geopolitical tensions, also linked to the application of customs duties for certain product categories/geographical areas, partial or temporary disruptions in the supply chain could have consequences on the continuity of the production process and lead to delays in the delivery of orders, with financial, operating and reputational impacts.
While no significant direct impacts related to the imposition of duties were identified, Sogefi adopts procurement strategies that are attentive to managing these risks: i) avoiding, as far as possible, excessive concentration of the supplier portfolio (and in any case avoiding cases of one supplier only for any specific item); ii) carefully monitoring the operational and financial soundness of suppliers; iii) diversifying geographically.
This risk in the current context of geopolitical tensions on a global scale is considered probable and relevant, and therefore it is carefully monitored and managed.
2.d. Risks related to the modification or cancellation of projects
In view of the technological transition, Sogefi could be faced with the cancellation or unilateral modification of projects/programmes by customers, with unfavourable economic impacts for Sogefi.
To mitigate the aforementioned risks, Sogefi has adopted the following main measures: i) in the case of new customers, careful assessment of the counterparty's soundness and projects; ii) development of partnership relations with new high-potential customers line with those established over time with traditional customers; iii) increased contractual protections; iv) careful monitoring in projects.
In view of the above, the risk is considered of moderate significance.
2.e. Cyber risks
Sogefi’s business operations depend, continuously and increasingly, on the reliability and security of its computer and information systems.

emarket self- storage CERTIFIED
These risks could have negative impacts such as: i) financial impacts, related to penalties or increased insurance premiums; ii) operational impacts, related to the temporary suspension of the Group's activities; and iii) reputational impacts.
Cyber Security Risks
These are the risks associated with unauthorised access by third parties to the company's information systems, resulting in the loss and/or violation of sensitive and confidential data.
In order to mitigate these risks, Sogefi has adopted a global cyber security organisation, with the aim of taking measures against the risks of cyber attacks and constantly adapting its defence measures, which include: i) periodic IT risk assessment activities, aimed at identifying and strengthening the security of the Group’s Information Systems and directing appropriate prevention and protection actions; ii) training activities and awareness campaigns on cyber security launched regularly at Group level; iii) periodic audits on cyber security carried out by external companies.
In view of the above, the risk is considered significant, but controlled and monitored.
Risk of failure or disruption of information systems (not related to Cyber Security)
The failure or temporary interruption of company information systems could lead to the loss of data and jeopardise the continuity of the operations of the Group and its business partners.
In order to ensure continuity, integrity and availability of data, Sogefi constantly monitors its systems. Moreover, in order to promptly respond to critical emergency situations, specific Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity Plans are implemented at both central and local level, and periodically tested internally through different types of crisis scenarios and externally through IATF and Tisax audits.
The risk is considered significant but unlikely in view of the mitigating actions in place.
2.f. Physical risks related to climate change
The intensification of phenomena related to climate change and its impacts on the value chain are some of the main challenges that companies will have to face.
Sogefi periodically updates the Physical Climate Risk Assessment to assess the impact of climate change on its local production sites, considering a short-term (2030) and a long-term (2050) time horizon, in line with the regulatory requirements of the Taxonomy.
From the analysis of the results of the Physical Climate Risk Assessment and considering that the no Group’s plant recorded significant impacts due to climatic events, the need for structural interventions by the Company was not highlighted and therefore the risk is considered probable but moderately significant.
(Please refer to par. 2.2.1.3 Significant impacts, risks and opportunities and their interaction with the strategy and business model of the Consolidated Sustainability Statement).
2.g. Risks related to the alignment between production planning and capacity
Production planning is based on medium-term sales volume forecasts provided by customers, which may not reflect reality in the current general context and specifically
Sogefi | Report on Operations
25
Telebors: distribution and commercial use strictly prohibited
emarket self- storage CERTIFIED
in the automotive sector. In fact, the current industry context is characterised by a high variability of actual demand with respect to customer commitment at the quotation stage (particularly for e-mobility-related products), coupled with a high flexibility of the volumes required under contractual agreements; this context entails possible impacts on production planning in the Group’s plants.
To mitigate the risk, Sogefi has put in place specific action plans, which include: i) periodic reviews of investment and production capacity planning, jointly with the Sales, Operations and Projects Functions; ii) constant monitoring of volumes and production capacity at individual plant level by the central Functions.
In view of the above, the risk is considered unlikely and of moderate significance.
2.h. Risks related to the occurrence of potential crisis events
In view of the instability of the current global context, Sogefi has put in place a management system aimed at promptly addressing potential crisis events and safeguarding business continuity, based on international reference standards.
In particular, the Group adopts the following mitigation actions: i) preparation of operational guidelines for the management of potential crisis events (e.g., accidents in production plants, natural disasters, pandemics); ii) information flows with production plants; iii) risk assessment and periodic reporting on specific risks.
The risk is considered to be significant but unlikely.
3. FINANCIAL RISKS
3.a. Risks associated with fluctuations in commodity prices (raw materials and energy)
The creation of the Group’s product portfolio requires the procurement of raw materials such as steel, plastic materials and aluminium - as well as components and semi-finished products containing them - whose costs are a significant portion of the production cost. The price of the raw materials may be subject to – sometimes significant – fluctuations, which depend on a wide variety of factors, largely beyond Sogefi’s control and hardly predictable, such as, for example, changes in demand levels, the introduction of new laws or regulations, fluctuating exchange rates.
Energy and raw material prices, after strong increases in 2022 and 2023, declined in 2024 and the trend for materials continued in 2025 (unlike energy). Against this backdrop, the Group closely monitors production costs and maintains a constant dialogue with suppliers and customers to safeguard its margins.
The risk is considered to be not significant and duly monitored.
3.b. Foreign exchange risk
The Sogefi Group, operating internationally through foreign subsidiaries in various markets where the reference currency is different from the Euro, is exposed to the risk of potential significant fluctuations in exchange rates.
The risks associated with changes in exchange rates (in particular of the Euro to the US and Canadian dollar, to South American and emerging market currencies) include:
- the translation exchange risk arising from the fact that Sogefi prepares its financial statements in Euro, yet holds controlling interests in companies that use functional currencies other than the Euro – as a result, any fluctuations in the exchange rates at which the financial statements of subsidiaries originally expressed in foreign

CERTIFIED
currencies are converted could significantly affect both the Group’s economic result and its consolidated shareholders’ equity;
- the transaction exchange risk arising from the fact that the Group companies carry out (direct/indirect) purchase and sale transactions in currencies other than the functional currency, and therefore exchange rate fluctuations could affect the actual cost/revenue ratio of the Company, for the portion that is not offset between purchases and sales.
To mitigate the exchange rate risk, Sogefi: i) monitors its exposure, trying to offset same-currency sales and purchases as much as possible and, for the remainder, ii) it uses financial instruments available on the market to hedge its exposure whenever possible.
In view of the actions taken, the risk is considered not significant, and at any rate it is closely monitored by the relevant Company departments.
4. LEGAL AND COMPLIANCE RISKS
4.a. Risks related to the violation of ethical principles¹⁰
The Group’s Code of Ethics defines the values that the Group believes in as the basis on which to achieve its objectives. It lays down rules of conduct which are binding on directors, employees and others who have ongoing relations with the Group.
The Company also adopted an “Organization, Management and Control Model as per Italian Legislative Decree no. 231 of 8 June 2001” following the guidelines of the decree, with a view to ensuring fairness and transparency in business activities.
Finally, the Company has formulated a set of policies and procedures aimed at a wise and informed management, and subject to continuous updating, and promotes dedicated training programs.
Thanks to the well-established internal control system in place, the risks related to the violation of ethical principles are considered not significant and well controlled.
¹⁰ Risk related to ESG topics, but not significant.

CONSOLIDATED SUSTAINABILITY STATEMENT PURSUANT TO ITALIAN LEGISLATIVE DECREE NO. 125/2024
1. GENERAL DISCLOSURES
1.1 ESRS 2 - DISCLOSURE REQUIREMENT
1.1.1 BASIS FOR PREPARATION
1.1.1.1 BP-1 General criteria for sustainability statement
This document represents the consolidated sustainability statement (hereinafter, the "Sustainability Statement") and illustrates the impact of Sogefi SpA (hereinafter also "Sogefi" or the "Sogefi Group" or the "Group") on sustainability issues, as well as how these influence the Group's strategies and performance.
Reporting principles and regulatory references
The Sustainability Statement is prepared in accordance with Directive (EU) 2022/2464 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 14 December 2022 ('CSRD'), transposed into Italian law through Legislative Decree No. 125 of 6 September 2024 ('Decree'), subsequently amended by Decree-Law No. 95 of 30 June 2025 ('Omnibus Decree'), converted into law (Law No. 118 of 8 August 2025), which implemented Directive (EU) 2025/794 ('First Omnibus Directive' or 'Stop the Clock Directive') without producing any impact on the Sustainability Statement of the Sogefi Group. The Sustainability Satatement is prepared in accordance with the drafting principles established by Directive (EU) 2013/34/EU (European Sustainability Reporting Standards – ESRS). On 10 November 2025, Delegated Regulation (EU) 2025/1416 ('Quick Fix') was published in the Official Journal of the European Union, amending Annex I of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2023/2772 on ESRS principles. This delegated act amends Appendix C, 'List of phased-in disclosure requirements,' of ESRS 1 and extends by a further two years (2025 and 2026) the option of omitting certain specific information: in relation to this Regulation, the Group has made use of the phase-in provisions in accordance with Annex C of ESRS 1 for Disclosure Requirements S1-11, S1-12, S1-15 and for expected financial effects (ESRS E1-9, E5-6).
The document also includes the information required under Article 8 of Regulation (EU) 2020/852 (EU Taxonomy Regulation). On 8 January 2026, Delegated Regulation (EU) 2026/73 was published in the Official Journal of the European Union, amending Delegated Regulation (EU) 2021/2178 with regard to the simplification of the content and presentation of disclosures relating to environmentally sustainable activities, and Delegated Regulations (EU) 2021/2139 and 2023/2486 with regard to the simplification of certain technical screening criteria used to determine whether economic activities do not significantly harm environmental objectives. Delegated Regulation (EU) 2026/73 entered into force on the twentieth day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union, i.e., on 28 January 2026, and applies to financial years starting on or after 1 January 2026. However, considering that companies were allowed to continue applying the rules already used for the 2024 financial year, the Sogefi Group

decided to proceed in continuity; therefore, no significant impacts are noted with reference to the new EU Taxonomy regulatory framework.
The 2025 Sustainability Statement is subject to limited assurance by the audit firm KPMG S.p.A., which is also responsible for the statutory audit of the financial statements, and expresses its conclusions regarding compliance with Legislative Decree No. 125/2024 and with the disclosure obligations set out in Article 8 of Regulation (EU) 2020/852 (Taxonomy Regulation).
The Sustainability Statement is included within the management report pursuant to Article 2428 of the Italian Civil Code, forming a specific section clearly identified as such, and is prepared in accordance with the drafting criteria mentioned above and approved by the competent administrative body. Furthermore, the Sustainability Statement must be prepared in the electronic reporting format specified in Article 3 of Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/815, including the tagging of sustainability information and the information required by Article 8 of the Taxonomy Regulation. The tagging rules for the Sustainability Statement will be introduced into the European regulatory framework through an amendment to the ESEF Regulation. Pending these regulatory changes, the Sustainability Statement does not need to be prepared in accordance with such tagging obligations, and therefore the responsibility of the directors does not extend to this aspect.
Consolidation scope
The Sustainability Statement is annual and covers the time period from 1 January 2025 to 31 December 2025 and the same scope as the Group's consolidated financial statements.
The environmental, social, governance and economic-financial data contained in the Sustainability Statement refers to all the companies belonging to the Sogefi Group as of 31 December 2025, consolidated on a line-by-line basis (see the section Sogefi group structure: consolidated companies in the Group’s Consolidated Financial Statements as of 31 December 2025).
Sogefi has no operational control over third-party sites, assets or companies, and there are no companies consolidated using the equity method.
There are no subsidiary undertakings included in the consolidation perimeter that are excluded from the Consolidated Sustainability Statement.
Scope of reported activities
This Sustainability Statement provides, where possible, information regarding the Group's value chain, in addition to information on its own operations. This includes information on impacts, risks, and opportunities along the value chain, both upstream and downstream, and on the policies and actions adopted to manage these impacts, as well as metrics that also cover the stakeholders in the value chain.
Other information
Moreover, no specific information corresponding to intellectual property, know-how or results of innovation was omitted.

1.1.1.2 BP-2 Disclosures in relation to specific circumstances
Time horizons
Sogefi considered applicable time horizons in accordance with the Company’s planning processes and industry-specific considerations, departing from the medium- or long-term time horizons defined in ESRS 1. In particular, the definition of time horizons is based on the Company’s planning processes and is as follows:
- short-term time horizon - one year from the reporting period of this report (2026);
- medium-term time horizon - time span from the first to the fourth year after the reporting year (from 2026 to 2029);
- long-term time horizon - time span up to 2050, in line with the long-term objectives and strategy of the European Green Deal.
Use of estimates
Regarding upstream and downstream value chain data (specifically Scope 3 emissions for categories deemed relevant) estimates have been used, such as sector-average data or other proxies.
Sogefi applies methodologies aligned with the GHG Protocol Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard and the Corporate Value Chain (Scope 3) Standard, which allow an adequate level of accuracy to be achieved. In particular, the methodologies applied are the following: average data method, expenditure-based method, distance-based method, waste type-based method.
Sustainability reporting includes numerous forward-looking disclosures in accordance with the ESRS. This information has been prepared on the basis of estimates and assumptions, and is, by its nature, subject to a high degree of uncertainty connected with future events, the extent and timing of which is unknown. For this reason, deviations between actual values and forward-looking information could be significant.
When quantitative metrics and monetary amounts presented are the result of estimates, disclosure is provided in the specific sections.
Furthermore, it should be noted that for reasons of rounding in some tables and graphs, the totals of the percentages may differ from 100%.
Previous periods
Data relating to the previous financial year are presented for comparative purposes in order to facilitate the assessment of the Group’s performance over time.
In 2025, the presentation of the data disclosed under indicator E1–5 was reviewed, providing a more detailed breakdown of the underlying data items. Specifically, energy from renewable sources not covered by Guarantees of Origin (GOs) and nuclear energy were also reported, using the residual mix of the relevant countries. As a result, the comparative data for 2024 were also revised accordingly to ensure consistency and comparability.
In addition, steel data 2024 reported under E5-4 have been revised using punctual data and, consequently, also Category 1 of Scope 3 have been revised accordingly.

Finally, 2024 emissions data have been restated following the redefinition of Category 8 of Scope 3. In particular, leased assets, previously reported in Scope 3, have been reclassified to Scope 1 and Scope 2 to ensure better methodological alignment and greater consistency in emissions reporting across the value chain.
Errors in reporting in previous periods
This document does not report any changes resulting from material reporting errors identified in previous reporting periods.

1.1.2.5 GOV-5 - Risk management and internal controls over Sustainability Statement
The Internal Control and Risk Management System
The Company has long since adopted its own internal control and risk management system, including the Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) process, which is set out based on Board of Directors guidelines, supported by the Control, Risk and Sustainability Committee.
Sogefi internal control and risk management system ("SCIGR") that identifies a set of rules aimed at contributing to:
- compliance with current legislation, the Articles of Association and internal regulations (e.g. policies, procedures and operational practices) in force;
- the reliability, trustworthiness and accuracy of financial and non-financial information;
- corporate management based on conscious decision-making that is sound, fair, prudent and consistent with the Company's objectives;
- reducing the possibility of misstatements;
- the effective and efficient implementation of business processes;
- the achievement of the Company's sustainable success in the medium-long term;
These objectives are pursued through i) a structured process of identification, assessment and management of the main risks, ii) the monitoring of mitigation measures
Sogefi | Report on Operations
Telebors: distribution and commercial use strictly prohibited
emarket self- storage CERTIFIED
and corrective actions, iii) the definition of information flows and coordination between all the functions and subjects involved in the control system.
The SCIGR is inspired by and aligned with national and international best practices. In particular, the Company has defined the SCIGR in line with and according to the recommendations of the Corporate Governance Code as implemented by the Company with its own Corporate Governance Code and in accordance with the COSO Framework, which serves as the internationally recognized reference model for understanding, analyzing, and assessing the overall effectiveness of the system.
The SCIGR is based on three levels of control, consistent with the “Three Lines” model and its underlying principles, which support the identification of the structures and processes best able to contribute to the achievement of objectives and to ensure sound governance and effective risk management. Within the “Three Lines” model, the Board of Directors, supported by the Control, Risk and Sustainability Committee, defines the strategic guidelines, allocates the necessary resources, ensures appropriate organizational delegation, and exercises subsequent oversight.
In line with best practice, the SCIGR’ three levels of control include:
- I Level of Control: the business process owners and members of Management in general, who identify, monitor and manage the risks for which they are responsible;
- II Level of Control: the Group risk and controls Functions, i.e. the Risk Management Department and the Manager in charge of Financial Reporting;
- III Level of Control: the Internal Audit Department, which performs independent assurance activities in relation to the internal control and risk management system.
A key role in ERM is played by the Risk Management function, whose responsibilities include identifying, assessing, and reporting risks related to potentially material topics for the Group. This function aims to provide the respective Boards of Directors with an overview of scenarios that could hinder the achievement of established objectives and to propose action plans to prevent, mitigate, or manage key risk exposures. This activity includes mapping and assessing relevant ESG risks, aligned with the Dual Materiality analysis, and is updated annually to reflect any changes in the external or internal context.
Internal control over Sustainability Statement
To ensure the accuracy, reliability, and transparency of Sustainability Statement, the internal control and risk management system also integrates the assessment of ESG-related risks and the monitoring of reporting activities.
Regarding the procedures and internal controls related to Sustainability Statement, Sogefi integrates the ESG Internal Control System into its existing risk and internal control framework, which defines roles and responsibilities to ensure the accuracy, reliability, and transparency of Sustainability Statement.
Key components of the ESG Internal Control System include data collection and validation processes to ensure data consistency and comparability.
Sogefi | Report on Operations

In this regards, Sogefi has developed the Risk and Control Matrices, which define the structure of operational controls, roles and responsibilities, as well as the set of tools that must be adopted to mitigate the risk of incorrect reporting of relevant indicators, in accordance with the CSRD provisions and the ESRS.
In 2025, additional risk and control matrices were defined to further integrate and strengthen the existing framework and the robustness of ESG data collection and verification processes.
Furthermore, to ensure ever greater integration between Sustainability Statement and financial information, the Group has included the certification of sustainability information among the responsibilities of the Manager in Charge, who is already responsible for overseeing the financial reporting processes.
The Manager in Charge certifies the accuracy and completeness of the information provided and the adequacy of the management models and control systems that led to its formulation.
The Sustainability Statement approval process
The Board of Directors approves the Sustainability Statement, subject to the opinion of the Control, Risk and Sustainability Committee, at the same time as the draft annual and consolidated financial statements.
The Board of Statutory Auditors receives the draft Sustainability Statement approved by the Board of Directors for due review. Any amendments requested by the Board of Statutory Auditors are implemented prior to publication of the Report.
The Sustainability Statement is finally made available to the Shareholders’ Meeting and the public following the same procedures and deadlines as the publication and filing of the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Sogefi is a partner to the world’s leading manufacturers of cars, commercial vehicles and earth-moving equipment. Today, it has a presence in 14 Countries with 24 manufacturing sites.
ESG Strategy
Sogefi embraces the values and goals of the United Nations 2030 Agenda and, in conducting its business activities, aims to contribute to their achievement by creating value in an ethical and responsible manner. It is committed to promoting and adopting a model of sustainable and inclusive development while at the same time ensuring the creation of long-lasting shared for with its stakeholders.
The Sogefi ESG Plan refers to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) framework, which defines the sustainable development goals, breaking them down into specific targets that individuals, communities and businesses should inspire their conduct to ensure responsible and ethical action, preserve the ecosystem and achieve social progress.
ESG targets are defined at the Group level and form an integral part of the strategic and industrial plans: the Sogefi sustainability targets, defined in 2021, have been implemented according to four pillars: Environmental, Social, Governance, Entity-Specific. The targets included in the plan are defined as year-on-year. The annual update of the plans also takes into account the results achieved, in order to ensure the definition of challenging, but realistically achievable objectives.
In this context, it is possible to distinguish two types of targets:
- absolute targets, expressed as values to be achieved within the reporting period and which do not require a reference base year;
- relative targets (based on a comparison with the previous year’s performance), for which performance is assessed against the year immediately preceding the present Report, which is therefore taken as the baseline.
In 2025, the ESG targets were updated with the involvement of corporate departments, Business Unit CEOs, and the Group CFO, action plans were defined specifying implementation timelines and monitoring frequency.
The targets were shared with the Control, Risk and Sustainability Committee and subsequently approved by the Board of Directors, which periodically monitors performance. The targets do not apply to specific products, customer categories, geographic areas or stakeholders, and are set at the Group level as follows.

The interaction between the business model and Sogefi’s material impacts, risks, and opportunities is embedded in the Group’s strategic planning.
The development of e-mobility products, the reliance on strategically critical raw materials (steel, aluminium, plastic resins), and the energy-intensive nature of manufacturing processes influence several material sustainability topics identified through the Double Materiality and therefore translated into the ESG Plan mentioned above.
The business model relies on key resources such as technological know-how, skilled employees, long-term partnerships with global OEMs and strategic suppliers, all of which contribute to value creation and the management of sustainability-related impacts.
The Value Chain
Sogefi’s value chain includes: upstream, product development and the procurement of materials and components; the operational process consists of production; downstream, the process includes product sales and waste management.
i) Product development
The first phase of Sogefi's operating model, involves product development in close collaboration with Car makers. To maintain its competitiveness, Sogefi must have adequate resources dedicated to research and development, provide products that meet the highest performance standards, and ensure innovation capacity, particularly innovation that reduces environmental impact and promotes e-mobility
ii) Supply chain
supply chain includes suppliers of goods and services primarily in Europe, the Americas, China, and India; the primary purchasing categories are steel, aluminum, metal components, plastic resins, and rubber bushings. Sogefi promotes reduced consumption and the use of recycled materials, and is attentive to supply chain sustainability, selecting suppliers based on rigorous quality standards and ISO certifications, and requiring the respect of its Code of Ethics principles.
Sogefi | Report on Operations

iii) Manufacturing
Sogefi has production facilities in Europe, Canada, Central and South America, China and India.
Production efficiency and product quality are key competitive factors for Sogefi. In this regard, Sogefi: carefully monitors operations to ensure they are conducted in full compliance with applicable local laws and group policies; adheres to ISO 14001:2015 standards, which include policies for waste minimization, greenhouse gas emissions reduction, and energy efficiency optimization; subjects products to rigorous testing to meet the highest quality standards; and pays attention to the impact of logistics processes by optimizing inbound and outbound flows, using more sustainable transportation, and using reusable and environmentally friendly packaging. Implement action plans to reduce water consumption, increase its reuse and recycling, through the use of highly efficient treatment technologies, to prevent any contamination in production processes and preserve the high quality of the water resource, particularly in stressed areas where it is a limited resource
iv) Product sales
Sogefi maintains long-term relations with its customers, developing products in partnership with them, and providing after-sales support through a dedicated customer portal.
v) Waste management
Sogefi promotes the reduction of waste impact by i) minimizing the use of potentially hazardous substances and ii) implementing recycling and reuse processes at production plants and throughout the supply chain.
It should be noted that the Group does not target end-users directly: the Group stands between the supply of raw materials and components and the downstream production processes of OEMs.
1.1.3.2 SBM-2 - Stakeholder interests and opinions
Sogefi promotes the dialogue with its stakeholders to identify emerging trends and meet their needs and expectations, as well as to better understand its external impacts.
The main stakeholder categories are employees, customers, suppliers, financial community, schools and universities, local communities.
Employees are constantly updated on Company initiatives via the Group intranet, that is regularly updated with organizational updates, financial results, new customers/new business awards and other relevant information of interest.
In addition, social climate is monitored through the annual performance evaluation and objectives definition process, through regular discussions with Trade Unions and annually through dedicated survey.
Customers, with whom the interaction is daily, are engaged through periodic meetings with Sogefi management and participation in automotive shows and participation in customer sustainability questionnaires.
Suppliers annually participate to sustainability surveys through supplier portal.

1.1.4 MANAGEMENT OF IMPACTS, RISKS AND OPPORTUNITIES
1.1.4.1 Description of the process to identify and assess material impacts, risks and opportunities (IRO-1) and their interaction with the strategy and business model (SBM-3) and related disclosure requirements included in the Sustainability Statement (IRO-2)
For the purpose of representing the sustainability topics relevant to the Group, the Double Materiality analysis conducted for the first time in 2024 was confirmed for 2025, in accordance with the requirements of the ESRS and based on:
- the “inside-out” perspective, which assesses actual or potential, positive or negative impacts related to the company’s own operations and value chain on people or the environment, over the short, medium, or long term;
- the “outside-in” perspective, which evaluates current or potential financial risks and opportunities connected to environmental, social, and governance matters that may affect the company’s development or its economic, equity, or financial position over the short, medium, and long term.
The assessment is updated annually and revised in case relevant changes occur in the business model, regulatory environment, risk profile, or stakeholder expectations.
Identification and evaluation of Impacts, Risks and Opportunities ("IRO")
The identification of potentially applicable IROs was carried out based on the guidance provided by ESRS 1 (AR 16), which includes a list of possible ESG topics and sub-topics, as well as a preliminary analysis conducted on publicly available information relating to the sectors relevant to the Group. In particular, internationally recognized data sources were consulted, including, for example, SASB, the S&P Sustainability Yearbook, the WEF Risk Report, and the COSO Framework.
IROs deemed applicable, but not directly included among the topics and sub-topics specified by the ESRS, were nevertheless considered as “Entity-specific” and subjected to the evaluation process described below.

Evaluation of the IROs
Impact Materiality
Impacts considered include those connected with Sogefi’s own operations and with upstream and downstream value chain, through its business relations.
A sustainability issue is material when it affects Sogefi’s actual/potential, positive/negative impacts on people or the environment.
Impacts considered include those connected with Sogefi’s own operations and with upstream and downstream value chain, through its business relations. For impacts, the assessment was conducted considering the following two parameters:
- magnitude, i.e. the parameter that considers the extent of the impact - positive or negative - that takes into consideration the extent of the potentially impacted area (considered exclusively for negative impacts); the evaluation scale adopted is 1-4 (from irrelevant to very significant)
- likelihood of the impact occurring; the adopted rating scale ranges from 1 to 4 (from remote to very likely).
Impacts scoring above 2 on both parameters were considered material.
The impacts were assessed through the engagement of internal and external stakeholders: specifically, an online survey was first administered to a sample of stakeholders (employees, customers, suppliers, the financial community, etc.) to obtain their assessment of the impacts generated by Sogefi on their respective categories. Results have been considered in final management evaluation.
Financial Materiality
For Risks and Opportunities, the assessment was integrated into the Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) process, analysing how such risks may impact the business model and value creation. Opportunities are included in the financial strategic planning, with the aim of strengthening the strategic positioning and value creation.
Risks and opportunities were assessed based on the following parameters:
- Magnitude of the potential financial effects net of mitigation measures already implemented, expressed as a percentage of EBITDA/Cash Flow; the adopted rating scale ranges from 1 to 4;
- Likelihood of the risk or opportunity occurring; the adopted rating scale ranges from 1 to 4 (from unlikely to very likely).
Risks and opportunities with a score greater than or equal to 4 were considered material.
Double Materiality
A sustainability topic is considered material when the assessment associated with its related impact, risk, or opportunity exceeds the defined thresholds for impact materiality, financial materiality, or both as mentioned above.

Compared to 2024 assessment, the following impacts were assessed as not material impacts in 2025 Double Materiality:
- “Inadequate employee development plans”, the impact was considered not significant in light of the strengthening of initiatives to involve people, including structured training programs, skills development, career paths and performance management processes. These initiatives contribute significantly to the positive impact of employee satisfaction and cohesion, reducing the likelihood of negative impacts related to insufficient development practices;
- “Irregular work and violation of human rights within the workforce”, the non-materiality was confirmed on the basis of the absence of accidents in previous years and the analysis of geographical and operational risks. Sogefi's activities are located in countries where the systemic risk of forced labour, child labour or other serious human rights violations is low; moreover, internal controls, HR procedures and the compliance system have not highlighted cases or indicators of potential.
List of Disclosure requirements reported in this document and list of indicators not disclosed since determined to be not material in Double Materiality are reported in ANNEX 1 – IRO-2- ESRS Disclosure Requirements addressed by the Company’s Sustainability Statement.
Interaction between IROs, strategy, and the business model
As mentioned in the Management Report in the section “Climate change impacts” Sogefi has considered the resilience of the two business areas (Suspensions and Air & Cooling) to the transition to electric mobility also in the medium-long term (i.e. for the period after 2028).
The Air & Cooling business unit, in consideration of its specific technical and manufacturing expertise, is well placed to meet the current and future needs of the electric mobility market. The strategic plan envisions a progressive increase in e-mobility sales, with varying trends across the various geographic areas of operation (Europe, NAFTA, China).
For the Suspensions business unit, whose market is independent of the evolution of the propulsion platform, the risk of technological innovation is not expected to have a significant impact on the business model in the medium to long term.
With reference to the time horizons considered, see section 1.1.1.2 BP-2 Disclosures in relation to specific circumstances
The current financial effects are detailed in the reference chapters of each impacted topical Standard.

1.1.5 DISCLOSURES ON NON-MATERIAL ENVIRONMENTAL TOPICS - ESRS E2, E3, E4
As part of the Double Materiality analysis, Sogefi assessed the topics of pollution, water resources, and biodiversity.^[13]^
ESRS E2 Pollution
All Sogefi sites have obtained ISO 14001:2015 certification, which also requires the implementation of an Environmental Management System (EMS) that includes the management of air, water, and soil pollution risks. In addition to this framework, Sogefi adopts several specific measures aimed at preventing pollution and mitigating potential environmental impacts, including:
- training activities for personnel on emergency management;
- installation of containment systems to prevent accidental spills;
- installation of nets in stormwater drainage systems;
- periodic analyses of emissions and discharges, both into the atmosphere and wastewater, in order to monitor compliance with applicable limits and identify potential areas for improvement;
- periodic audits of chemical storage areas to verify compliance with internal procedures and regulatory requirements.
Sogefi examined the use of polluting substances (as per Regulation (EC) No. 166/2006 – Annex II), substances of concern (as per Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008), and substances of very high concern (as per Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006 – Annex XIV) within its production sites and business activities, in order to identify actual and potential impacts, risks, and opportunities. However, these topics were assessed as not material for both the Group’s own operations and its value chain.
ESRS E3 Water and Marine resources
Given that all sites have obtained ISO 14001:2015 certification, which also requires the implementation of an Environmental Management System (EMS) including the management of risks related to water pollution and marine resources, the analyses conducted concluded that the Group’s production processes are not particularly water-intensive. Therefore, this topic has been assessed as non-material.
ESRS E4 Biodiversity and Ecosystems
Given that all sites have obtained ISO 14001:2015 certification, which also requires the implementation of an Environmental Management System (EMS) that includes the management of impacts on natural resources and ecosystems, the analyses carried out have led to assessing this topic as not material.
^[13]^ According to the ESRS Standards, a topic is considered “non-material” when potentially applicable connected IROs are identified, but these are assessed as non-material within the Double Materiality assessment. A topic is considered “not applicable” when no connected IROs are identified, not even potentially applicable (e.g., due to the type of business/activities).

2. ENVIRONMENTAL INFORMATION
2.1 POLICIES
Sogefi, on April 23rd 2021, adopted its own Environmental Policy, communicated to all personnel through the intranet website, which:
- Defines the principles and guidelines to be applied across all sites, with the aim of preventing and reducing environmental impacts and risks, and managing material environmental topics—namely energy and emissions, materials management (resource inflows), and waste management (resource outflows);
- promotes the continuous improvement of plants, processes, and production technologies, with particular focus on energy efficiency and the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions through the containment of energy consumption and the promotion of renewable energy sources.
- defines responsibilities at the various corporate levels, identifying the Chief Executive Officers of the two operating divisions as those responsible for promoting and implementing the Policy, and the Health, Safety and Environment Manager as the person responsible for monitoring compliance with the principles set out in the Policy and for periodically reviewing environmental indicators.
2.2 ESRS E1 - CLIMATE CHANGE
2.2.1 STRATEGY
2.2.1.1 E1-1 Transition plan for climate change mitigation
As of today, the Group has not yet established greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction targets aligned with limiting global warming to 1.5 °C under the Paris Agreement or achieving climate neutrality by 2050. The Group will prepare a structured GHG emissions reduction roadmap (transition plan) to address climate change effectively, as outlined in section 2.2.3.1 E1-4 Targets related to climate change mitigation and adaptation.
By the end of 2025, strategies to lessen the ecological footprint of operations will centre on energy efficiency and lowering GHG emissions by cutting energy consumption and advancing the use of renewable energy sources.
2.2.1.2 Integration of sustainability-related environmental performance in incentive schemes
As described in section 1.1.2.3 GOV-3 - Integration of sustainability-related performance in incentive schemes, management performance is evaluated against specific environmental, social and governance goals set out in the ESG plan approved by the Board of Directors. This plan also includes climate-related objectives¹⁴, which are therefore reflected in the variable remuneration.

Physical risks related to climate change
Sogefi carries out a physical risks assessment every two years (last update was in 2024) with the support of an external consultant to assess the impact of climate change on the Group’s sites.
The analyses of physical risks related to climate were performed in line with the requirements of the European Taxonomy and ESRS 2 IRO-1 section 20(b).
Below are the applicable climatic phenomena against which the risks to each of the Group sites were assessed.

The risk assessment for each climate phenomenon was carried out for the following scenarios:
- IPCC RCP 4.5 optimistic scenario of effective mitigation of climate change with a significant reduction in greenhouse gas emissions to the atmosphere;
- IPCC RCP 8.5, which assumes no mitigation and an increase in emissions at current rates.
The risks were classified as “Low”, “Medium” or “High”. The thresholds were updated based on the following sources:
- Scientific literature: IPCC Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.
- Climate models: IPCC WGI Interactive Atlas; Aqueduct tool map; Climate Change Knowledge Portal; WESR: RISK; Climate Impact Explorer; WWF Water Risk; Climate Central; LASI UNESCO Subsidence.
Assessments were made on the basis of two time horizons: in the short-to-medium term (projection to 2030) and in the long term (scenario to 2050).
For each medium-high risk, possible mitigation solutions were explored, also taking into account long-term impacts, as required by the Taxonomy Regulation.
Following the resilience assessment of the sites to physical risks associated with weather-related events conducted in 2024, and the evaluation of the interaction with the business model, no effects emerged on the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities reported in the financial statements of the Group companies, nor on future projections.

Transitional risks related to climate change
Sogefi considers transition risks related to climate change to be significant, as regulatory developments aimed at a low-greenhouse-gas economy may influence market, products, technologies, industrial processes, and the value chain.
Such developments may in fact affect the business model and expose the company to risks of non-compliance and/or loss of competitiveness and/or inability to serve its customers.
To mitigate these transition risks, Sogefi monitors the regulatory landscape in each of the geographic areas in which it operates to ensure the compliance of its activities, and has launched a product development plan aimed at e-mobility.
2.2.2 MANAGEMENT OF IMPACTS, RISKS AND OPPORTUNITIES
2.2.2.1 E1-3 Actions and resources in relation to climate change policies
To reduce the negative impact of its activities on the climate, and considering that this impact derives mainly from energy consumption, Sogefi pursues two main objectives: i) lowering overall energy consumption and ii) increasing the share of renewables in its energy mix.
Sogefi’s primary energy sources are natural gas and electricity. To reduce energy consumption, Sogefi: i) has outlined guidelines in its Environmental Policy and carries out awareness-raising activities on energy-saving practices; ii) plans and executes its production programs also based on energy-efficiency considerations; iii) implements targeted projects. In particular, in 2025 analyses were carried out to replace the gas furnaces used in suspension production with induction furnaces, with the objective of reducing gas consumption and related emissions. This initiative led to the launch of a plan that resulted in the installation of two new furnaces at plants in France and Italy, with a third installation planned shortly in Germany. Such investments amount to 2.8 million euros in 2025.
Moreover, Sogefi adopts measures to increase the share of green energy in its total consumption and, in particular, in 2025: (i) it generated solar energy at four plants, one in China and three in Europe; (ii) it ensured the supply of electricity entirely sourced from renewables in Canada, Germany and Romania; and (iii) it purchased green certificates for a total amount of €0.03 million.
Finally, following the physical risk assessment mentioned in the previous paragraph, in 2025 Sogefi incurred costs of €0.3 million and made investments of €0.4 million in actions to mitigate these risks.

2.2.3 METRICS AND TARGETS
2.2.3.1 E1-4 Targets related to climate change mitigation and adaptation
The objectives to reduce the impact of the Group’s activities on climate change are set out below.¹⁵

| 2027: -6% vs 2026 | ||||
| 2028: -6% vs 2027 | ||||
| 2029: -6% vs 2028 |
Regarding the energy mix, the target is to increase the share of renewable energy (deriving from own production, green certified supply and covered by GOs) over total energy consumption to 36% in 2029).
Moreover, Sogefi aims at reducing the energy intensity (the ratio between total energy consumed, in GJ, and total revenue, adjusted for changes in selling prices and exchange rates) by approximately 2% per year.
Regarding greenhouse gas emissions intensity, Sogefi measures the ratio between CO₂ emissions (Scope 1 + Scope 2 market-based, calculated in tons of CO₂) and total revenue (calculated in million euro and adjusted for the effect of changes in selling prices and exchange rates). Sogefi aims at decrease the GHG emissions intensity and in 2025 reached a reduction of 24%, above the target, thanks to an increased share of renewable energy. In particular, the result is linked to the decrease of scope 2 market based emissions compared to 2024, and it is mainly associated with German and Romanian companies that in 2025 purchased certified 100% green electricity (therefore without CO2 emissions).
The plan foresees a year-on-year reduction by 5/6% until 2029.
2.2.3.2 E1-5 Reporting on energy consumption and energy mix
Total energy consumption accounts for 425.609 MWh in 2025, and it is mainly due to the industrial process of Suspensions BU (88% of total consumption).
In 2025, fossil sources amount for 275.577 MWh and account for 65% of the Group’s total energy consumption. The consumption of these sources decreased by -11% compared to 2024, mainly due also to a higher consumption of renewable sources (which in 2025 account for 113.269 MWh compared to 83.046 MWh), among which, primarily electricity.

Energy consumption data is presented using the UK Government GHG Conversion Factors (DEFRA) 2025 as source of the conversion factors.
To calculate the share of electricity from nuclear sources, renewable sources (excluding those already covered by GO certificates), and fossil sources, national residual energy mixes were used as a reference. In particular, the following sources were considered:
- AIB Residual Mix: for European countries.
- US Environmental Protection Agency eGRID: for United States.
- Ministry of Mines and Energy of Brazil - BEN Summary Report: for Brazil.
For the remaining countries, for which no official and reliable databases are available, a conservative assumption of a 100% fossil-based national residual energy mix has been applied.

2.2.3.3 E1-6 Gross Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions and total GHG emissions
GHG emissions are categorized as follow:
-
Direct (Scope 1) GHG emissions originate from sources (such as physical units or processes) owned or controlled by the organization. These emissions include, but are not limited to, CO₂ emissions from fuel consumption.
-
Indirect (Scope 2) GHG emissions arise from purchased or acquired electricity, heating, cooling, and steam consumed by the organization. They are reported using two different approaches:
-
Location-based: this approach considers the energy conversion factor based on the Country where it was purchased. It uses the national average emission factor related to the specific energy mix for electricity production.
-
Market-based: this approach relies on emission factors defined through contractual agreements with electricity suppliers (including Green certificates) and/or the national applicable emission factors.
-
Other Indirect (Scope 3) emissions are a consequence of an organization’s activities, deriving from sources not owned or controlled by the organization. Other indirect (Scope 3) GHG emissions include both upstream and downstream emissions (e.g. end use of products and services and upstream transportation and distribution, decomposing of the organization’s waste).
The following factors are used to calculate CO2 emissions:

Location-based emissions, which reflect the average GHG emission intensity of the energy grids where consumption occurs, amounted to 41,203 tCO₂e in 2025, compared to 47,034 tCO₂e in 2024, for a reduction of 12% compared to 2024.
Market-based emissions are based on electricity consumption and amount to 10,250 tCO₂e in 2025 and 26,153 tCO₂e in 2024. These are lower than location-based emissions as they also take into account the purchase of green certificates in 2025.
The reduction of Scope 2 GHG emission market-based also benefits from the new energy supply agreement with new suppliers providing 100% renewable energy.
Scope 3
Scope 3 emissions are calculated according to the methodologies outlined in the GHG Protocol Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard and the Corporate Value Chain (Scope 3) Standard, including all fifteen emission categories recognized by the international framework, as shown in the table below.
The table below shows the applicability for Sogefi of the identified categories and the method used to estimate emissions is the result of the review and mapping of upstream and downstream processes.

Notes to the table
It should be noted that Category 10 “Processing of sold products” was considered as not significant as it does not meet any of the relevant criteria set out in the GHG Protocol (size, influence, risk, shareholders, outsourcing, industry leadership)¹⁷.
In fact, the next production process Sogefi products undergo is assembly, for which consumption is not significant compared to the process of assembling the entire vehicle. In addition, this assessment also considers the low incidence in terms of weight of these components with respect to the total weight of the vehicle, including elements such as chassis, tires, engine and transmission.
Category 11 is equal to zero as the products manufactured by Sogefi are not a direct source of CO₂ emissions.
Sogefi does not use biomass therefore it has no biogenic emissions of CO₂ from the combustion or biodegradation of biomass.

As shown in the table, in 2025, Scope 3 emissions show a 4% increase compared to 2024, and they mainly refer to Category 1.
The calculation methods used for each category are presented below:
- Category 1: This category includes emissions from the purchase of raw materials, auxiliary materials and services. The calculation for raw materials is based on the average data method: weight quantities are multiplied by emission factors from the Ecoinvent 3.12 database; for auxiliary materials and services, the method applied is spend-based, where expenses are classified by type per business/site, multiplied by the CEDA 2025 emission factors per Country;
- Category 2: The calculation for the purchase of capital goods is based on expenditure, classified by type of expenditure per Business Unit/site, multiplied by the CEDA 2025 emission factors per Country;
- Category 3: The calculation is based on the quantities of fuels and energy carriers purchased and consumed not included in scope 1 and 2, multiplied by average factors representative of the upstream phase. The input data is the quantity of the energy carrier consumed, i.e. electricity (expressed in kWh) and natural gas (expressed in cubic meters). IEA 2025 factors were used for transmission and distribution and electricity life cycle emissions, while DEFRA 2025 factors were used for WTT ("well to tank") fuel emissions;
- Category 4: This category includes emissions from transportation process where the cost is borne by Sogefi and is calculated using 4 components:
i) Transport of auxiliary materials and transport of raw materials for which no precise data on routes (kilometers) and transported weight is available: in this case, the calculation is based on the income statement costs used for the Category 1 calculation, with 5% allocated to transport, applying the CEDA 2025 factors. To allocate emissions from road transport, the percentage of local suppliers was used, with the remaining share assigned to the average emission factors for road, air and sea transport. The sites for which detailed information on the weight and distance (kilometers) of raw materials transported is available are excluded from the calculation performed according to this methodology, as they are instead included in case (iv) described below;
ii) warehousing and storage activities: emissions are calculated based on expenditure, applying CEDA 2025 factors;
iii) Transport of capital goods: the calculation is based on CapEx investments used in Category 2, with 5% allocated to transport and applying CEDA 2025 factors. To allocate emissions from road transport, the percentage of local suppliers was used, with the remaining share assigned to the average emission factors for road, air and sea transport;
iv) Transport of finished products borne by Sogefi and inbound transport of raw materials for plants where data on distances (kilometers) and transported weight are available: in this case, emissions are calculated using the distance-based method, applying DEFRA 2025 emission factors;
- Category 5: This category includes emissions related to the disposal of waste generated by the organization. The proportion of waste generated by type and by site is calculated based on management estimates, as detailed data is not available. Nevertheless, the estimates made are not expected to differ materially from actual data. The calculation is based on the quantity of waste produced

during the year, multiplied by the DEFRA 2025 factors selected according to waste type and disposal method. Emissions associated with recycling activities are considered to be zero, assuming that the related quantification is performed at the stage of purchasing the recycled product;
- Category 6: Emissions from business travel are calculated using either primary emission data or distance data provided by travel agencies. Where such data is unavailable, emissions are calculated based on travel distances, applying DEFRA 2025 factors. For certain business trips carried out using rental cars, where detailed data is not available, an estimate is made based on the number of rental days and an assumed daily distance of 50 km.
- Category 7: this category includes emissions related to the distance traveled by Group employees between home and work. The calculation is based on type of transportation, the average number of days worked per week at the office, and the distances traveled by employees in kilometers, multiplied by the corresponding DEFRA 2025 emission factors. The data was obtained from an internal questionnaire answered by 50% of employees (1,662 out of a total of 3,290 as of December 31, 2025). For employees who did not respond, the data was estimated based on the responses received.
- Category 9: This category includes emissions from downstream transport (transport paid by customers for the products sold), calculated using the distance-based method and applying DEFRA 2025 emission factors. Emissions are based on the weight of the products sold and estimated considering upstream transport processed in Category 4;
- Category 12: This category comprises emissions related to the end-of-life disposal of products sold and their packaging. The percentages of waste treatment (recycling, incineration and landfill) for the categories "plastics, metals, paper and total waste" at the European level is sourced from the Eurostat database. For products sold outside the EU, it is conservatively assumed that all material is sent to landfill, except for metal, for which the European average disposal mix is applied. Based on the weight, destination Country, and average composition of sold products, statistical data on waste treatment by Country is matched with the corresponding DEFRA 2025 factor to calculate emissions.
It should be noted that, in 2025, part of the calculation for Category 6 "Business travel" and Category 7 "Employee commuting" was based on primary data, i.e. data provided directly by the actors within the value chain. For Categories 6 and 7, this was provided respectively by travel agencies and through the internal survey. Primary data accounts for 96% in Category 6 and 50% in Category 7, respectively.
Overall, primary data (thus referring to Categories 6 and 7 as described) represents 0.2% of total Scope 3 emissions.
Following the same criteria used for energy intensity, emission intensity is calculated by dividing emissions (Scope 1, Scope 2 and Scope 3) by turnover.
Emission intensity indicators are provided below.

Indeed, Sogefi’s industrial operations make extensive use of purchased materials, are highly dependent on a complex supply chain, and naturally generate waste downstream from its production.
Therefore, this could have an adverse impact on the environment due to the use of resources and improper disposal of waste, which primarily consists of metal components, plastic, paper, general waste, and, to a lesser extent, hazardous waste.
Furthermore, Sogefi is exposed to risks associated with its dependence on the supply chain, particularly the risks of scarcity of the materials required for its production process and/or price volatility.
Sogefi’s strategy therefore includes a gradual improvement in waste management, with particular focus on recycling, as well as an increase in the purchase of recycled materials.
2.3.1.2 E5-2 Actions and resources related to resource use and circular economy
Regarding resource use, Sogefi promotes, wherever possible, the reduction of consumption and the purchase of recycled materials:
- it carefully monitors waste and seeks technical solutions to reduce raw material consumption while maintaining same output (in particular, the Suspensions Business Unit develops “light design” solutions aimed at reducing the use of raw materials);
- it promotes the use of recycled materials, with the aim of gradually increasing their share (partially recycled steel, recycled aluminum, and, for some new projects, the use of recycled plastics is under consideration).
With regard to waste management, Sogefi adopts guidelines regarding: prevention; preparation for reuse; recycling; other recovery (for example, incineration with energy recovery); disposal.²⁰
Specifically, Sogefi has an ongoing action plan that includes: i) the external recycling of hazardous wastewater generated by production processes, ii) the external reuse of shot peening dust, and iii) the incineration of general waste with energy recovery.
The actions implemented in 2025 are part of an ongoing commitment to improving waste management. Over the course of the year, the plants strengthened their waste

2.3.2 METRICS AND TARGETS
2.3.2.1 E5-3 Targets related to resource use and circular economy
Regarding resources use and circular economy, Sogefi has defined within ESG plan specific targets related to purchase of recycled raw materials and to increase waste valorization year on year $^{21}$.

| 2027: Suspensions: 38%; A&C: 5% | |||
| 2028: Suspensions: 41%; A&C: 10% | |||
| 2029: Suspensions: 42%; A&C: 12% |
Regarding the purchase of recycled raw materials, targets have been set for increasing the use of recycled materials starting in 2024: for Suspension business Unit, target 2025 was to purchase steel with a 30% recycled content by 2025, and then to increase to 42% by 2029. For the Air and Cooling Business Unit, the use of recycled plastic materials is currently being studied, with a target starting in 2027.
This KPI was introduced in 2024 to promote recycled raw materials among purchases (steel and plastic resins, main raw materials categories for Suspensions and A&C respectively). In 2025, the objective was achieved (30% for Suspensions, N/A for A&C, that will introduce it in 2027); the ESG Plan foresees to reach 42% for Suspensions and 12% for A&C.
Waste valorization includes the following processes, aimed at reducing the amount of waste sent to landfill and maximizing the use of available resources through recycling, material reuse, and incineration with energy recovery.
Waste valorization is measured by the percentage of valorized waste (i.e., recycled, reused, and incinerated with energy recovery, expressed in tons) out of the total waste generated (in tons). The target is to increase this percentage; in 2025, it reached 91.6%, exceeding the target, and the Plan plans to increase it to 93.3% in 2029.
2.3.2.2 E5-4 Reporting on resource inflows
Approximately 84% of Sogefi’s purchases relate to raw materials: mainly steel, aluminium, natural rubber, plastic resins, elastomers, mechatronics, metal and aluminium components, and packaging materials (e.g. cardboard). All materials used are technical materials; Sogefi does not use any biological materials.

2.4 DISCLOSURE PURSUANT TO ARTICLE 8 OF REGULATION 2020/852 (EU TAXONOMY REGULATION)
The European Taxonomy, governed by Regulation (EU) 2020/852, is a key component of the European Commission’s action plan to redirect capital flows towards a more sustainable economy and represents an important step towards the EU’s environmental goals and the green transition, as it is a classification system for environmentally sustainable economic activities.
This regulation includes a list of activities that the regulator considers capable of contributing to one or more of the following objectives:
- Climate change mitigation;
- Adaptation to climate change;
- Sustainable use and protection of water and marine resources;
- Transition to a circular economy;
- Pollution prevention and control;
- Protection and restoration of biodiversity and ecosystems.
In 2025, in accordance with Delegated Regulation (EU) 2021/2139, the Company assessed the eligibility and alignment of its activities with all the six environmental objectives listed above.
Following the analyses, described in greater detail in the sections below, the activity considered for 2025 is eligible for the objective of climate change mitigation. In particular, the following activity was identified: 3.18 - Manufacturing of automotive and mobility components.
Compared to 2024, activity 7.6 Installation, maintenance and repair of renewable energy technologies is no longer considered within the analysis, as no new relevant investments were made in this area during the reporting period.
Activity 3.18: Manufacturing of automotive components for mobility applications
Based on the description of Activity 3.18, which concerns the manufacture of essential components for improving the environmental performance of vehicles, the following two product categories were assessed as eligible:
- A&C thermal management systems, limited to those produced exclusively for 100% electric vehicles;
- Suspensions products.
With regard to the first point, the preliminary analysis of the substantial contribution criteria, together with the review of the types of motor vehicles on which Sogefi’s products are installed, led to the identification of product categories corresponding to points 1.a, 1.b, 1.c and 1.d of the technical screening criteria set out in the Taxonomy Delegated Act (which define the different categories of vehicles for which the components are intended).
Regarding the second point, the Taxonomy refers only to “best-in-class suspension systems that lead to energy efficiency improvements” and since, as of now, there are no clear and precise criteria that make it possible to categorize a suspension as “best-in-

class”, Sogefi takes a cautious approach and considers that none of its product fall within the category identified by the Delegated Act.
In consideration of Sogefi’s business, in addition to the aforementioned Activity 3.18, and through benchmarking analyses, Activity 3.4-“Manufacture of batteries” was also identified as potentially eligible. However, due to certain areas of overlap with Activity 3.18 and in order to avoid double counting, it was determined that Sogefi’s activities are more appropriately aligned with Activity 3.18.
The CapEx and OpEx related to Activity 3.18 were classified as “type a” (Delegated Act on Disclosure, Regulation (EU) 2021/2178, Annex 1, sections 1.1.2.2 and 1.1.3.2), i.e. “related to assets or processes associated with economic activities aligned under the Taxonomy [...]”.
Based on the above, the analysis led to the following results:
- With regard to the Group’s core business, only Activity 3.18 “Manufacture of automotive and mobility components” was considered, encompassing all products related to A&C thermal management systems intended for 100% electric vehicles. This approach ensures the avoidance of any double counting between multiple Taxonomy activities or product categories.
- No additional eligible activities were identified in relation to the other five environmental objectives.
DNSH (“Do No Significant Harm”) Requirements
With respect to the DNSH (“Do No Significant Harm”) requirements, which ensure that an activity eligible under one environmental objective does not cause significant harm to any of the other five objectives — the following analyses were performed:
- Regarding the DNSH requirements for the climate change adaptation objective, a physical climate risk assessment was updated in 2024 for all Sogefi production sites, in line with the provisions of Annex 1, Appendix A of the Climate Delegated Regulation (EU) 2021/2139. Based on the results, the requirement is considered to be met.
- As for the DNSH requirements related to the other four environmental objectives, specific questionnaires were distributed to the production sites manufacturing the products deemed eligible, namely Orbey, Châteauroux (France), Montréal (Canada), Tîțești (Romania) and Wujiang (China). The outcome of this assessment confirmed that the following plants comply with the DNSH requirements: Orbey, Montréal and Wujiang.
Minimum safeguards
The minimum safeguards refer to the procedures implemented by a company carrying out an economic activity to ensure alignment with the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises and the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, including the principles and rights set out in the eight fundamental conventions identified in the International Labour Organization Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work, as well as in the International Bill of Human Rights.
Sogefi | Report on Operations

To assess compliance with these minimum safeguards, Sogefi conducted an internal analysis covering four areas²⁴: anti-corruption, taxation, fair competition, and human rights. Within these areas, the Group evaluated the controls and policies in place, which were deemed adequate to ensure compliance with the requirement.
Furthermore, it should be noted that in 2025 no violations were identified within the Group related to the four areas mentioned above.
Accordingly, Sogefi is considered to be in compliance with the minimum safeguards.
Methodology for the Calculation of Taxonomy KPIs
Based on the methodology described in the previous section, for each of the two identified activities, net turnover, capital expenditures (CapEx), and operating expenditures (OpEx) were analyzed for the purpose of calculating the KPIs required by the EU Taxonomy, in line with the current interpretation of the applicable requirements.
Net turnover:
- The denominator corresponds to consolidated net turnover in accordance with IAS/IFRS principles.
- The numerator includes:
- For eligibility, the net turnover generated from the sale of thermal management system (A&C) products intended exclusively for 100% electric vehicles;
- For alignment, the portion of the above turnover generated by plants meeting all relevant requirements (as previously described).
CapEx:
- The denominator includes the additions to tangible and intangible assets during the reporting year, before depreciation, amortization, impairment and revaluation adjustments, including those arising from re-measurements and value reductions, and excluding fair value changes. The applicable accounting standards for Sogefi are: IAS 16 (Property, Plant and Equipment), IAS 38 (Intangible assets), IFRS 16 (Leases).
- The numerator includes:
- For eligibility, CapEx related to the production of thermal management system (A&C) products intended exclusively for 100% electric vehicles (Activity 3.18);
- For alignment, the above CapEx generated by sites compliant with all requirements (as previously described). As noted above, Activity 7.6 has no CapEx component.
OpEx:
- The denominator includes direct non-capitalized costs related to research and development, building renovation measures, short-term leases, maintenance and

repair, and any other direct expenses connected with the day-to-day upkeep of property, plant and equipment.
- The numerator includes:
- For eligibility, OpEx generated from the production of thermal management system (A&C) products intended for 100% electric vehicles (Activity 3.18);
- For alignment, the above OpEx from plants meeting all requirements (as described in the methodology presented earlier).
Based on the analysis performed, the eligible share of turnover under the EU Taxonomy for the objective of Climate Change Mitigation amounts to 0.7% of the Group’s total turnover, of which 0.7% is also aligned under the Taxonomy. No significant changes were recorded compared to 2024 (0.5% in 2024).
The table below presents a detailed breakdown of the turnover KPI for eligibility and alignment.
The analyses described above are based on the Sogefi Group Management’s interpretation and understanding of the requirements of the applicable Taxonomy regulation (i.e. Regulation (EU) 852/2020 and related Delegated Acts), including the official Q&As published by the European Commission as of the approval date of this document.
The evaluation of the activities and investments in line under the taxonomy regulation has been made with the support of an external advisor specialized in sustainability aspects.

3. SOCIAL INFORMATION
3.1 POLICIES
Sogefi adopts policies and procedures applicable to all Group companies to define and clearly and transparently communicate the values that should guide the organization in carrying out its activities and achieving corporate objectives. In particular, workforce management must adhere to the principles outlined in the Group Code of Ethics, which highlights the significance of appropriate behaviour and social responsibility²⁷.
Human Rights Policies
Concerning human rights, the Group has implemented a dedicated Human Rights Policy (ratified by the Group CEO on 23 April 2021), aligned with international frameworks such as the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the International Labour Organization (ILO) Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work. Sogefi’s Human Rights Policy mandates that, across the entire value chain, working conditions and principles must uphold human dignity and forbid any behaviour or actions that offend moral or personal beliefs. Consistent with this policy, Sogefi rejects all forms of forced or compulsory labour, as well as any discrimination or harassment in the workplace. The Company advocates for fair working and employment conditions and ensures the right to freedom of association and collective bargaining.
Health and Safety Policies
In 2021, Sogefi issued its “Health and Safety Policy”, which is published on the Company website and intranet. The Company closely monitors health and safety issues and, in the event of workplace accidents, conducts thorough investigations in this regard. This proactive approach enables risk prevention and the development of proper action plans.
All Group plants have designated specific functions responsible for the implementation of Health and Safety Policies under the supervision of the plant manager.
In detail, all plants have designated specific functions responsible for the implementation of the Health and Safety Policies under the supervision of the plant manager and in coordination with the central Health& Safety Function.
Specific safety training sessions are held at every plant to increase employee safety knowledge and minimize risks at each production stage²⁸.
Diversity Policies
The Group does not currently have a specific Diversity policy in place; however, the principles of non-discrimination and equal opportunities are embedded within Sogefi’s Human Rights Policy. While a dedicated Diversity policy is not yet established, these matters are addressed through the Group’s ESG plan, which includes specific KPIs such as the gender equality index to monitor progress.

The evaluations take into account Sogefi's three core values: integrity, results orientation, and teamwork.
Objectives for the following year are defined by managers in collaboration with their team members, including training plans and any dedicated development programs.
The Human Resources Department centrally manages and monitors employees' key competencies through a dedicated platform, where employees are encouraged to regularly update their profiles; the competitiveness of working conditions is also monitored.
Training
Annual training plans are defined and consistently monitored by HR Function to ensure that employee have adequate competences and up-to-date skills.
Discrimination and harassment
Ethics training courses are periodically carried out to ensure that employees are familiar with the conduct principles set out in the company policies.

Employee satisfaction is monitored annually through a survey conducted across all staff, which makes it possible to measure progress and helps identify specific improvement actions. The survey measures the percentage of employees who state they ‘agree’ or ‘strongly agree’ with the following topics: innovation and strategic orientation; respect for values; safety; employee experience; trust and commitment; managerial effectiveness; performance improvement. The participation rate in 2025 was 74%; among the employees who took part, 76% provided a positive evaluation, exceeding the target set for 2025. For the coming years, the goal is not to fall below 72%.
With regard to occupational health and safety, workplace accidents are monitored and an accident frequency rate is periodically assessed, calculated as the number of injuries involving employees and contractors that result in absence from work per one million hours worked. The objective of the Plan is to achieve an index equal to or below 1.3; this target was not met in 2025, as a higher index was recorded. The competent functions are engaged in analyzing the causes and defining additional corrective measures.
With respect to training, Sogefi is committed to promoting employee development through comprehensive and continuous training programs, maintaining the objective of providing at least 25–26 hours of training per employee per year.

Over the duration of the ESG Plan, Sogefi aims to increase the Index result by one point per year. In 2025, the Index stood at 67/100, in line with the target, and over the timeframe of the Plan, Sogefi aims to reach a score of 70.

3.2.3.9 S1-16 - Remuneration metrics (pay gap and total remuneration)
Sogefi is committed to promoting gender equality within the organization. In particular, the Company calculates the gender equality index required under French law and voluntarily extends its application to all Group companies, in order to evaluate all sites and promote continuous improvement in professional equality between women and men within the Group.
For this purpose, the Gender Equality Index is used, expressed on a scale of 100 and calculated on the basis of five criteria:
i) Average pay between women and men;
ii) Individual annual salary increases between women and men;
iii) Internal promotions between women and men;
iv) Salary increases for women after maternity leave, and
v) Number of women among the Company’s ten highest-paid employees in the reference year.
In 2025, the Group Gender Equality Index scored 67/100 (versus 64.3/100 in 2024).
The index is part of the ESG KPIs and targets related to the Social area and is regularly monitored and reported.
Below is the gender pay gap, represented as the ratio between the difference in average pay of male employees and that of female employees, compared to the average pay of male employees.
The gender pay gap is affected by structural characteristics of the automotive sector, which have historically contributed to a negative impact on the wage balance between men and women.

Sogefi takes seriously any potential incident or individual event involving the protection of human rights within the value chain. In this regard, the Human Rights Policy, as well as the Group’s Code of Ethics, are shared with business partners, who are required to adhere to the principles contained therein.
In 2025, no incidents were reported to Sogefi regarding violations of human rights concerning workers in the value chain. Likewise, no value chain workers operating in particularly high-risk contexts were identified.
3.3.2 MANAGEMENT OF IMPACTS, RISKS AND OPPORTUNITIES
3.3.2.1 S2-3- Processes to remedy negative impacts and channels for value chain workers to report them
Sogefi’s Whistleblowing Procedure defines the operational procedures for any individual (Group employees or workers in the value chain) to report a violation or suspected violation of the principles of the Code of Ethics and the Code of Business Conduct. The procedure is available on Sogefi’s website and the dedicated whistleblowing channel can be accessed by third parties through the platform on the website³⁵.
3.3.2.2 S2-4 - Taking action on material impacts on value chain workers, and approaches to managing material risks and pursuing material opportunities related to value chain workers, and effectiveness of those actions
Before being accredited, the suppliers must validate the Group’s Code of Business Conduct.
Sogefi takes seriously into consideration any potential individual incident or event involving human rights protection within the value chain. In fact, the Group's Human Rights Policy is shared with business partners who are required to adhere to the principles contained therein.
Additionally, Sogefi recommends the ISO 45001 certification to its suppliers.
³⁵ For further details see section 4.1 POLICIES.
Sogefi | Report on Operations 100

Whistleblowing reports received, including those from external parties, are independently investigated by the Internal Auditing Department and by external experts, where necessary.
The Control, Risk and Sustainability Committee and the Board of Directors are regularly updated on any whistleblowing reports by the Supervisory Body, as described in section 4.1 POLICIES.
Sogefi is committed to working responsibly, through a business model that identifies respect for fundamental human rights as a key element of all its business practices.
Considering that, historically, there have been no reports of violations of the rights of workers in the value chain (e.g. child or forced labour), Sogefi is not currently planning further actions to address this risk.
As far as risks of cyber-attacks are concerned, defence measures are constantly monitored and adapted by the Group's IT Department to prevent breaches of value chain data in Sogefi’s possession³⁶.
3.3.3 METRICS AND TARGETS
3.3.3.1 S2-5 - Targets related to managing material negative impacts, advancing positive impacts, and managing material risks and opportunities
Sogefi periodically assesses and monitors the risks related to workers in the value chain, in consideration of the potential legal and reputational consequences of the associated risks.
Sogefi has not set specific targets regarding risks related to human rights violations or cybersecurity threats along the value chain, in light of the actions already in place to promote respect for human rights among its workforce and business partners, as well as the established measures for monitoring IT and cybersecurity risks.

4. GOVERNANCE INFORMATION
4.1 POLICIES
Sogefi’s corporate culture is built on commitment to ethical behavior, compliance with laws, and high standards of integrity.
The Company aims to integrate these values into every aspect of its operations and encourages its business partners to do the same.
Sogefi's policy for managing material impacts, risks and opportunities related to business conduct and corporate culture include:
- the Code of Ethics, approved by the Board of Directors on 26 February 2018, whose guiding principles and values include: i) compliance with the law; ii) honesty and fairness; iii) impartiality and equal opportunities; iv) transparency and completeness of information; v) protection of data confidentiality; vi) prevention of conflicts of interest. The Sogefi Group monitors the effective application of the Code through the Internal Auditing Department and the Supervisory Body. The Code is available on the Company website;
- the Code of Conduct, approved by the Group CEO on 23 April 2021, whose key areas include: i) business ethics (including the fight against active and passive bribery, fair competition, and transparency); ii) working conditions (including safe working conditions, prohibition of forced and child labour, promotion of non-discrimination and freedom of association). The Code is available on the Company’s website;
- the Group Whistleblowing Procedure, approved by the Board of Directors and last updated on 15 December 2023, which allows the anonymous reporting of violations of the Code of Ethics, Code of Conduct or other applicable laws and internal policies;
- the Anti-corruption Policy, approved by the Board of Directors on July 25, 2025, which consists of general policy and specific protocols relating to processes potentially most exposed to cases of corruption.
Guiding principles and provisions of the Code of Ethics and Code of Business Conduct are binding on all directors, employees and partners who work with the Group under contractual agreement, including temporary staff.
Sogefi recognizes as an essential principle the observance of laws and compliance with applicable regulations in all the Countries in which it operates. It does not therefore tolerate any form of corruption by its employees or by any third parties having business relations with the Group, including fraudulent payments to or from third-party officials.
Policy promotion and monitoring arrangements
Sogefi encourages its business partners to promote and disseminate the principles set out in the Code of Conduct throughout their own supply chains and requires them to acknowledge and share Sogefi’s commitment to these principles.
Sogefi has adopted a corporate Anti-corruption Policy in line with the UN Convention against Corruption.
Additionally, Sogefi adopts a Whistleblowing Procedure that defines operating procedures so that any individual (whether a Sogefi employee or an external

stakeholder) can report a breach or suspected breach of the principles of the Code of Ethics, Code of Conduct, and of the Anti-corruption Policy.
This procedure, updated in 2023 following the entry into force of Italian Legislative Decree no. 24 of 2023, implementing European Directive 1937/2019 and approved by the Board of Directors, is published on the Company’s website and on the Group’s intranet.
Any violation or suspected violation of applicable laws, the principles of the Code of Ethics, of the Anti-corruption Policy, or any other internal rules and procedures within the Group is encouraged to be reported through the dedicated whistleblowing channel, which guarantees anonymity and is available on the Company’s website.
Reports received, including incidents of corporate conduct and incidents of active and passive bribery, are independently investigated by the Internal Audit Department and by external experts, when needed.
The Control, Risk and Sustainability Committee and the Board of Directors are regularly updated on whistleblowing reports.
Sogefi is committed to protecting whistleblowers from retaliation, ensuring none shall be punished, dismissed or subjected to any discriminatory measure because they testified in good faith or because they reported actions in accordance with the Group Whistleblowing Procedure.
Regular training on Sogefi policies is implemented on a regular basis. Specifically, in 2025, a training on the Anti-corruption Policy was completed by the Group’s employees, including those in roles most exposed to the risk of active and passive bribery (for example, employees who interact with third parties and public authorities). The course, available via e-learning in the main languages, was developed to provide an understanding of anti-corruption regulations, as well as the internal policies and procedures that the Sogefi Group has implemented to ensure compliance.

4.2.1.2 ESRS 2 GOV-1 - The role of the administrative, management and supervisory bodies
Sogefi’s Board of Directors is responsible for defining the internal control and risk management system, in accordance with applicable laws, regulations and best practices.
Almost all members of the Board of Directors have international experience and significant governance expertise, having served or currently serving as members and/or chairpersons of boards of directors in listed companies. The Sogefi Group recognizes the importance of ethical behavior and social responsibility in the conduct of its corporate and business activities and undertakes to respect the legitimate interests of its stakeholders and of the community in which it operates.
The Board of Directors promotes the principles of fair business practices, compliance with applicable laws and regulations, honesty and fairness, impartiality and equal opportunities, respect for integrity, transparency and good faith through the Code of Ethics and the Anti-corruption Policy.
The Code of Ethics applies to all Sogefi Group Companies, and its principles and provisions are binding on all Directors, employees and business partners that have business relations with the Group, even under temporary contracts.
Members of the Board of Directors are required to comply with the principles of the Code of Ethics when taking any kind of decision or action concerning the activities managed by Group Companies.
4.2.2 MANAGEMENT OF IMPACTS, RISKS AND OPPORTUNITIES
4.2.2.1 G1-2 - Managing relations with suppliers
Sogefi partners with suppliers that uphold high quality standards, comply with current environmental and safety regulations, and adhere to ethical, social and governance principles, in line with the Group’s policies.
Supplier selection and the subsequent definition of procurement terms are governed by Procurement Procedures (that include Procurement Sustainability Policy), adopted by each Business Unit and formalised in the Supplier Manual. These procedures rely on an objective assessment of quality, price, economic performance, contractual terms and sustainability. Notably, Sogefi has deployed a digitised supplier evaluation process to assess ESG performance and to maintain a “sustainable” supplier base capable of evolving with market dynamics, regulatory changes and product developments. The evaluation now explicitly considers:
i) use of recycled materials (recycling resin, regrinding materials, recycling scraps, use of 100% recycled packaging, etc.);
ii) reduction of greenhouse gas impacts (e.g., use of renewable energy, proximity to Sogefi plants, optimised truck loading, ISO 50001 Energy Management certification, etc.);
iii) reduction of environmental impacts (e.g., water consumption reduction initiatives, ISO 14001 certification);
iv) respect of the principles of the main Group policies (e.g., acceptance of Sogefi’s Code of Business Conduct, Human Rights Group policy, etc.).
Regarding supply chain risks, particularly in light of recent geopolitical tensions, Sogefi has reinforced supplier selection and monitoring to identify, where feasible, alternative

sources for critical raw materials and components, thereby mitigating the risk of dependence on a limited number of suppliers. The Group places particular emphasis on assessing the financial robustness and compliance with appropriate quality standards across its supplier base.
Consistently with the Double Materiality analysis, the material impact “Delayed or missing payments to suppliers” has been considered, and the Group verifies conformity in its supplier payment practices³⁷.
4.2.2.2 G1-3 - Prevention and detection of active and passive bribery
Sogefi is committed in preventing any form of passive or active bribery. In this regards, Group Anti-corruption Policy has been released in 2025. The document outlines the fundamental principles and values to which the Sogefi Group is committed and the approach adopted to prevent corruption in all its forms, in line with the principles defined in Sogefi’s Code of Ethics and Code of Business Conduct.
To ensure policy implementation, compliance and monitoring, Sogefi has designated a Group Anti-corruption Manager who is responsible for the anti-corruption Group structure design, guidelines implementation and promotion within the Group, with the support of the competent Functions where applicable (e.g. Group HR, Legal, Group Chief Financial Officer, etc.) and in coordination with the local anti-corruption managers, responsible for ensuring compliance with local regulatory requirements and adherence with Group Anti-corruption Policy, with the support of the competent local Functions where applicable (e.g. local HR, Purchasing Dept., etc.).
In accordance with the disclosure requirements and MDR-T provisions of the ESRS, specific targets have been introduced with respect to ESRS G1 – Business Conduct as detailed below.

customers. Additionally, initiatives continue to enhance integration capabilities between plastic and aluminium and to develop efficient, high-quality production processes, such as laser welding technology. To mitigate risks during product development, the Group maintains a proactive stance by anticipating and adapting to changing customer needs through ongoing innovation.
Regarding the Suspensions Business Unit, the current technical roadmap centres on developing innovative design solutions aimed at reducing noise and vibration, while also anticipating forthcoming sustainability regulations, such as CMR-free paints, solvent-free adhesives, and surface treatment chemicals.
In this regard, following a testing phase last year, and from 2025 one plant of the Group started a process to completely transition towards CMR-free painting in order also to meet evolving customer expectations.
Regarding the entity-specific topic “Driving innovation also towards sustainable mobility and solutions”, a target has been set on the KPI “Percentage of R&D spending on e-mobility products”, calculated on the total R&D expenditure.
Below are the KPI results for 2025 and the related targets for the period 2026 - 2029:

These Policies are established and shared by the Group’s top management and apply globally.
Actions
As part of the actions implemented to manage quality risk, Sogefi carries out a comprehensive risk assessment in accordance with the industry standard Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA). This assessment identifies and evaluates potential risks related to design and processes, as well as the impact of projects on product quality, production, the environment, health and safety. The analysis covers the entire production life cycle.
The Group monitors overall quality performance and customer satisfaction through specific indicators. When necessary, an escalation process is activated to address any problems identified.
Each year, targets are set for each KPI at the plant level. These KPIs are collected and reviewed monthly, and the results are discussed during meetings between plant teams and the central team.
See the Explanatory and Supplementary Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements-section “CURRENT PROVISIONS, NON-CURRENT PROVISIONS AND OTHER LIABILITIES” for details regarding the Product Warranty Provision as of 31/12/2025.
Targets
Regarding the entity-specific issue of “Customer satisfaction including quality and warranty issues”, a target was set concerning the percentage of Sogefi sites certified in environmental, quality, and health and safety management systems, in accordance with international standards (IATF 16949, ISO 14001, ISO 45001).

ANNEX 2 - DISCLOSURES ON NON-MATERIAL ENVIRONMENTAL TOPICS - ESRS E2, E3, E4
As part of the Double Materiality analysis, Sogefi assessed the topics of pollution, water resources, and biodiversity.³⁸
ESRS E2 Pollution
All Sogefi sites have obtained ISO 14001:2015 certification, which also requires the implementation of an Environmental Management System (EMS) that includes the management of air, water, and soil pollution risks. In addition to this framework, Sogefi adopts several specific measures aimed at preventing pollution and mitigating potential environmental impacts, including:
- training activities for personnel on emergency management;
- installation of containment systems to prevent accidental spills;
- installation of nets in stormwater drainage systems;
- periodic analyses of emissions and discharges, both into the atmosphere and wastewater, in order to monitor compliance with applicable limits and identify potential areas for improvement;
- periodic audits of chemical storage areas to verify compliance with internal procedures and regulatory requirements.
Sogefi examined the use of polluting substances (as per Regulation (EC) No. 166/2006 – Annex II), substances of concern (as per Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008), and substances of very high concern (as per Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006 – Annex XIV) within its production sites and business activities, in order to identify actual and potential impacts, risks, and opportunities. However, these topics were assessed as not material for both the Group’s own operations and its value chain.
ESRS E3 Water and Marine resources
Given that all sites have obtained ISO 14001:2015 certification, which also requires the implementation of an Environmental Management System (EMS) including the management of risks related to water pollution and marine resources, the analyses conducted concluded that the Group’s production processes are not particularly water-intensive. Therefore, this topic has been assessed as non-material.
ESRS E4 Biodiversity and Ecosystems
Given that all sites have obtained ISO 14001:2015 certification, which also requires the implementation of an Environmental Management System (EMS) that includes the management of impacts on natural resources and ecosystems, the analyses carried out have led to assessing this topic as not material.
³⁸ According to the ESRS Standards, a topic is considered “non-material” when potentially applicable connected IROs are identified, but these are assessed as non-material within the Double Materiality assessment. A topic is considered “not applicable” when no connected IROs are identified, not even potentially applicable (e.g., due to the type of business/activities).

OTHER INFORMATION
RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Company's Board of Directors has established a Related Party Transactions Committee and adopted the Procedure for Related Party Transactions (the "Procedure"), which establishes the principles of conduct and the rules adopted by Sogefi S.p.A. to ensure the transparency and substantive and procedural fairness of transactions with its related parties carried out by the Company directly or through its subsidiaries. The Procedure was last updated on 28 June 2021, subject to the favourable opinion of the Committee for Related Party Transactions, in order to incorporate the changes introduced by Consob Regulation no. 21624 of 10 December 2020 and has been in force since 1 July 2021.
The Procedure is available on the Company’s website at www.sogefigroup.com, in the "Investor – Corporate Governance" section.
According to the Procedure, the Committee for Related Party Transactions, on the basis of information received from the Executive responsible for preparing corporate accounting documents, examines the report on:
i. individual Transactions of Greater Importance concluded during the financial year;
ii. any other Transaction with Related Parties, pursuant to article 2427, paragraph 1, of the Italian Civil Code, concluded in the financial year, which have had a significant impact on the Company's financial position or results;
iii. any modification or development of the Related Party Transactions described in the last annual report that had significant effects on the financial position or results of the companies during the financial year.
As a result of the analysis carried out, it should be noted that: (i) there were no Transactions of Greater Importance concluded during the year; (ii) there were no other Related Party Transactions, pursuant to article 2427, first paragraph, of the Italian Civil Code, concluded during the year, which had a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results, (iii) there were no changes in, or developments relating to, the Related Party Transactions described in the previous annual report which had a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results during the year.
Information on the most important economic transactions and balances with related parties is provided in the explanatory and supplementary notes to the consolidated financial statements, in the section entitled “Related Party Transactions”, as well as in the explanatory and supplementary notes to the statutory financial statements.
Dealings between Group companies are conducted at arm’s length, taking into account the quality and type of services rendered.

The Report will also be available on the

Company's website at www.sogefigroup.com, in the "Investor – Corporate Governance" section.
The Report also contains the information prescribed by Art. 123-bis of Italian Financial Consolidated Law, including information on ownership structures and compliance with the code of conduct that the Company has adopted. The overall "Corporate Governance" framework of the Company is substantially in line with the principles and recommendations contained in the Corporate Governance Code for Listed Companies introduced, in its latest version, in January 2020, by the Corporate Governance Committee to which Company Associations, Borsa Italiana S.p.A. and Assogestioni belong.
As regards Italian Legislative Decree no. 231/2001, which brings domestic regulations on administrative liability of legal entities into line with the international conventions signed by Italy, in February 2003 the Board of Directors adopted a Code of Ethics for the Sogefi Group (as subsequently amended and integrated). The Code clearly defines the values that the Group believes in as the basis on which to achieve its objectives. It lays down rules of conduct which are binding on directors, employees and others who have ongoing relations with the Group.
On 26 February 2004 the Company also adopted an "Organization, Management and Control Model as per Italian Legislative Decree no. 231 of 8 June 2001" following the guidelines of the decree, with a view to ensuring conditions of fairness and transparency in the carrying on of the company's affairs and business activities. Such Organization, Management and Control Model was approved by the Board of Directors in the version updated in July 2025. The updating activity did not entail any substantial changes in terms of the structure of the Organization Model, except (i) the updating of the list of offences in the General Section and in the Special Section and (ii) the addition of a special section devoted to offences relating to non-cash payment instruments.
A Supervisory Body was also set up with the task of monitoring the functioning, effectiveness and observance of the Model, as laid down in the decree.
TREASURY SHARES
As at 31 December 2025, the Parent Company has 902,451 treasury shares in its portfolio (having a nominal value of Euro 0.52), corresponding to 0.75% of share capital. In 2025, treasury shares decreased after they were assigned to beneficiaries of stock-based compensation plans.
DECLARATIONS PURSUANT TO ARTICLES 15 AND 16 OF MARKET REGULATION (ADOPTED WITH CONSOB REGULATION NO. 20249 OF 28 DECEMBER 2017)
In accordance with the obligations set forth in article 2.6.2. of the Regulations of Borsa Italiana [Italian Stock Exchange], and with reference to the requirements referred to in articles 15 and 16 of Consob Resolution no. 20249 of 28 December 2017, it is hereby stated that there are no circumstances such as to prevent the listing of Sogefi stock on the Mercato Telematico Azionario organised and managed by Borsa Italiana S.p.A. insofar as: Sogefi S.p.A. (the "Company") has obtained the articles of association and the composition and powers of the related control bodies from foreign subsidiaries based in countries that are not part of the European Union and are of material significance to the Company; the same foreign subsidiaries provide the Company's

auditor with information necessary to perform annual and interim audits of Sogefi and use an administrative/accounting system appropriate for regular reporting to the Management and to the auditors of the Company of the income statement, balance and financial data necessary for the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.
Sogefi S.p.A. will also publish the financial statements of foreign subsidiaries (based in non-European countries and with material significance to the Company), prepared for the purpose of the consolidated financial statements as at 31 December 2024, in accordance with the procedures indicated in the Consob regulation.
In consideration of the fact that Sogefi is subject to policy guidance and coordination by its parent company CIR – Compagnie Industriali Riunite S.p.A., it is also hereby stated that there are no circumstances such as to prevent the listing of Sogefi stock on the Mercato Telematico Azionario organised and managed by Borsa Italiana S.p.A. insofar as the Company has fulfilled its publication obligations pursuant to article 2497-bis of Italian Civil Code.
Sogefi has independent decision-making powers in relations with customers and suppliers, and does not hold a cash pooling system with CIR. The Company has a cash pooling system with its subsidiaries that satisfies the interest of the company. This situation enables the Group’s finances to be centralised, thus reducing the need to utilise funding from banks, and therefore minimising financial expense.
The Company has set up the Control, Risk and Sustainability Committee, the Committee for Related Party Transactions and the Appointment and Remuneration Committee, all of which are currently composed exclusively of Independent Directors.
Lastly, it is hereby stated that the Company’s Board of Directors comprised nine members, six of which are Independent Directors, and therefore a sufficient number to guarantee that their contribution has an adequate weight when taking board decisions.
EXEMPTION FROM THE OBLIGATION TO PUBLISH INFORMATION DOCUMENTS UNDER ARTICLE 70, PARAGRAPH 8 AND ARTICLE 71, PARAGRAPH 1-BIS OF THE RULES FOR ISSUERS
In relation to art. 70, paragraph 8 and art. 71, paragraph 1-bis of Consob Regulation no. 11971/99, the Board of Directors resolved to make use of the exemption from the obligation to publish the information documents required for significant transactions consisting in mergers, spin-offs, capital increases by means of the conferral of assets in kind, takeovers and transfers.

DEFINITION OF PERFORMANCE INDICATORS AND NET FINANCIAL DEBT
In accordance with ESMA Guidelines (ESMA/2015/1415) published on 5 October 2015, the criteria used for constructing the main performance indicators deemed by the management to be useful for the purpose of monitoring Group performance are provided below.
EBITDA: EBITDA is calculated as the sum of “EBIT”, “Depreciation and Amortization” and the impairment losses of tangible and intangible fixed assets included in the item “Other non-operating expenses (income)”.
Adjusted EBIT is calculated by adding the items “Restructuring costs” and “Losses (gains) on disposal”, “Exchange (gains) losses” and “Other non-operating expenses (income)” (with the exception of the amount of writedowns of tangible and intangible assets included in this item for Euro 1.9 million as at 31 December 2025 and Euro 1.5 million in 2024).

Normalised EBITDA (used to calculate covenants): it is calculated by summing “EBITDA” and the following expenses and revenues arising from non-ordinary operations: “Restructuring costs” and “Losses (gains) on disposal”.

- writedowns of tangible and intangible fixed assets
- imputed cost of Stock Grant plans
- accruals to provisions for legal disputes with employees and third parties
- product guarantee costs
- strategic consulting services
“Restructuring costs” include voluntary redundancy incentives for all employee categories (managers, clerical staff, blue collar workers) and costs relating to the shutdown of a plant or the discontinuation of individual business lines (personnel costs and related costs associated with shutdown).
“Losses (gains) on disposal” include the difference between the net book value of sold assets and selling price.
“Net financial indebtedness” is calculated by adding up the following items from the Statement Of Financial Position: “Cash and cash equivalents”, “Other financial assets – current”, “Financial receivables – non-current”, “Other financial assets - non-current” (excluding the amount of “Other financial assets held for sale”), “Bank overdrafts and short-term loans”, “Current portion of medium/long-term financial debts and other loans”, “Current financial payables for rights of use”, “Other short-term liabilities for derivative financial instruments”, “Non-current bank liabilities”, “Non-current portion of medium/long-term financial debts and other loans”, “Medium/long-term financial payables for rights of use”, “Other medium/long-term liabilities for derivative financial instruments”.
As regards the Parent Company Sogefi S.p.A, the amount of “Net financial indebtedness” shown in the Report on Operations differs from the “Net financial indebtedness” shown in the table prepared in accordance with Consob Communication no. DEM/6064293 of 28 July 2006 and subsequent updates, in accordance with the guidelines ESMA32-382-1138 of 4 March 2021, due to the amount of non-current intercompany financial receivables recognised in the item “Loans and financial receivables similar to loans - of which, from subsidiaries” in the Statement of Financial Position.
Please note that as at 31 December 2025 there were no non-recurring expenses as defined in Consob Communication DEM/6064293 of 28 July 2006.

The directors of Sogefi S.p.A. are responsible for applying the provisions of the European Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/815 on regulatory technical standards relating to the specification of the European Single Electronic Format (ESEF) (hereinafter the “Delegated Regulation”) to the consolidated financial statements, which are included in the annual financial report.
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in XHTML format and have been marked up, in all material respects, in accordance with the provisions of the Delegated Regulation and are authorised for publication by a resolution of the Board of Directors passed on 27 February 2026. These financial statements will be submitted for approval to the Shareholders' meeting of Sogefi S.p.A. on 24 April 2026.
1.1 Format of the consolidated financial statements
As regards to the format of the consolidated financial statements, the Company has opted to present the following types of accounting statements:
Consolidated Statement of Financial Position
The Consolidated Statement of Financial Position is presented in two sections, showing assets on one side and liabilities and equity on the other.
Assets and liabilities are in turn shown in the consolidated financial statements on the basis of their classification as current or non-current.
An asset/liability is classified as current when it satisfies one of the following criteria:
- it is expected to be realised/settled or it is expected to be sold or consumed in the normal cycle of operations, or
- it is held primarily for the purpose of trading, or
- it is expected to be realised/settled within twelve months after the reporting period.
If none of the above conditions are met, the assets/liabilities are classified as non-current.
Finally, liabilities are classified as current when the entity does not have unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the end of the reporting period.
Consolidated Income Statement
Costs shown in the Consolidated Income Statement are aggregated by function, while also making a distinction between fixed and variable costs.
The Consolidated Income Statement also provides the following intermediate aggregates in order to give a clearer understanding of the typical results of normal manufacturing activities, the financial side of the business and the impact of taxation:
- Contribution margin;
- EBIT (earnings before interest and tax);
- Result before taxes;
- Profit (loss) from operations;
- Net result before non-controlling interests;
- Profit (loss) of the Group

Consolidated Statement of Other Comprehensive Income
The Consolidated Statement of Other Comprehensive Income includes all the changes occurring in Other comprehensive income of the year, generated by transactions other than those conducted with shareholders and in compliance with specific IAS/IFRS accounting principles.
The Group has chosen to present these changes in a separate table to the Consolidated Income Statement.
The changes in Other comprehensive income are shown before the related tax effect with the aggregate amount of the income taxes on said variations being recognised in a single item. Those components that may or may not be reclassified to Consolidated Income Statement at a later time are listed separately in the table.
Consolidated Cash Flow Statement
A Consolidated Cash Flow Statement split by area of formation of the various types of cash flow as indicated in international accounting standards is included.
The Consolidated Cash Flow Statement has been prepared using the indirect method.
Please note that in this cash flow statement, the change in working capital may not coincide with the difference between the opening and closing statement of financial position figures because of exchange differences: in fact, cash flows generated are converted using the average exchange rate for the year, while the difference between the opening and closing consolidated statement of financial position figures in Euro may be influenced by changes in exchange rates at the beginning and end of the year, which have little to do with the generation or absorption of cash flow within working capital. The exchange differences generated by opening and closing statements of financial position are booked to “Exchange differences”.
Cash flows arising from the collection and payment of interest are classified as operating cash flows. Dividends paid are classified as cash flows from financing activities.
Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity
A Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity is included as required by international accounting standards, showing separately the net result for the period and any change that was not charged through the Income Statement, but directly to the consolidated Other comprehensive income on the basis of specific IAS/IFRS, as well as transactions with shareholders in their role as shareholders.

2. CONSOLIDATION PRINCIPLES AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The main accounting principles and standards applied in preparation of the consolidated financial statements and of the Group aggregate financial disclosures are set forth below.
Going concern
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance to the going concern assumption, as the Directors have verified the non-existence of financial, performance or other indicators that could give rise to doubts as to the Company's ability to meet its obligations in the foreseeable future.
The risks and uncertainties relating to the business are described in the dedicated sections in the Report on Operations. A description of how the Group manages financial risks, including liquidity and capital risk, is provided in Note 38 "Financial instruments and financial risk management".
2.1 Consolidation principles
The financial statements as at 31 December 2025 of the companies included in the scope of consolidation, prepared in accordance with Group accounting policies with reference to IFRS, have been used for consolidation purposes.
The scope of consolidation includes subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates.
All the companies over which the Group has the direct or indirect power to determine the relevant activities (i.e., the financial and operating policies) – in other words, those companies that determine the highest exposure to variable returns – are considered subsidiaries. In particular, the company Iberica de Suspensiones S.L. (ISSA) – which is 50% owned – is treated as a subsidiary because the Group controls the majority of votes of the board of directors, which is the corporate body tasked with deciding on the entity's relevant activities.
The assets, liabilities, costs and revenues of the individual consolidated companies are fully consolidated on a line-by-line basis, regardless of the percentage owned, while the carrying value of consolidated investments held by the Parent Company and other consolidated companies is eliminated against the related share of equity.
All intercompany balances and transactions, including unrealised profits deriving from transactions between consolidated companies, are eliminated. Unrealised losses are eliminated, except when a loss represents an impairment indicator to be recognised in the Consolidated Income Statement.
The financial statements of the subsidiaries are drawn up using the currency of the primary economic environment in which they operate ("functional currency"). The consolidated financial statements are presented in Euro, the functional currency of the Parent Company and hence the currency of presentation of the consolidated financial statements of the Sogefi Group.

The procedures for translation of the financial statements expressed in foreign currency other than the Euro are the following:
- the items of the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position are translated into Euro at the year-end exchange rates;
- the Consolidated Income Statement items are translated into Euro using the year’s average exchange rates;
- differences arising from the translation of equity's opening balance with year-end exchange rates are recorded in the translation reserve account, together with any difference between the net result of income statement and statement of financial position;
- whenever a subsidiary with a different functional currency from Euro is disposed of, any exchange difference included in line item Other comprehensive income is reclassified to the Consolidated Income Statement;
- dividends paid by companies that use functional currencies other than the Euro are converted at the average exchange rate of the previous year for the company that pays the dividend and at the current exchange rate for the company that receives the dividend; exchange differences between the two amounts are recorded to the translation reserve account.
The following exchange rates have been used for translation purposes:
| 2025 | 2024 | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Average | 12.31 | Average | 12.31 | |
| US dollar | 1.13 | 1.18 | 1.08 | 1.04 |
| Pound sterling | 0.86 | 0.87 | 0.85 | 0.83 |
| Brazilian real | 6.30 | 6.44 | 5.82 | 6.43 |
| Argentine peso | 1707.56 | 1707.56 | 1070.81 | 1070.81 |
| Chinese renminbi | 8.11 | 8.23 | 7.79 | 7.58 |
| Indian rupee | 98.43 | 105.60 | 90.50 | 88.93 |
| New romanian Leu | 5.04 | 5.10 | 4.97 | 4.97 |
| Canadian dollar | 1.58 | 1.61 | 1.48 | 1.49 |
| Mexican peso | 21.67 | 21.12 | 19.83 | 21.55 |
| Moroccan dirham | 10.55 | 10.71 | 10.76 | 10.51 |
A joint venture is an entity for which strategic financial and operating decisions concerning the relevant activities of the company are made with the unanimous approval of the controlling parties.
An associate company is an entity in which the Group is able to exert a significant influence, but without being able to control its relevant activities.
Investments in joint ventures and associates are consolidated applying the equity method, which means that the results of operations of associates and any changes in line item Other comprehensive income of the joint ventures and associates are reflected in the Consolidated Income Statement and in Consolidated Statement of Other Comprehensive Income. If the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the carrying value of the investment in the joint venture or in the associate company is adjusted by booking the related loss to the Consolidated Income Statement.

2.2 Business combinations
Business combinations are recognised under the acquisition method. According to this method, the consideration transferred to a business combination is measured at fair value calculated as the aggregate of the acquisition-date fair value of the assets transferred and liabilities assumed by the Company and of the equity instruments issued in exchange for the control of the acquired entity.
On the acquisition date, the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed are recognised at their acquisition-date fair value; the following items represent exception to the above and are valued according to their reference principle:
- deferred tax assets and liabilities;
- assets and liabilities relating to employee benefits;
- liabilities or equity instruments relating to share-based payments of the acquired entity or share-based payments relating to the Group, issued as a replacement of contracts of the acquired entity;
- assets held for sale and discontinued assets and liabilities.
Goodwill is measured as the surplus between the sum of the consideration transferred to the business combination, the value of non-controlling interests and the fair value of previously-held equity interest in the acquiree with respect to the fair value of the net assets transferred and liabilities assumed as at the acquisition-date. If the fair value of the net assets transferred and liabilities assumed as at the acquisition-date exceeds the sum of the consideration transferred, the value of non-controlling interests and the fair value of the previously-held equity interest in the acquiree, said surplus is immediately booked to the Consolidated Income Statement as gain resulting from said transaction.
The share of non-controlling interests as at the acquisition-date may be measured at fair value or as a proportion of the fair value of net assets in the acquiree. The measurement method adopted is decided on a transaction-by-transaction basis.
2.3 Accounting policies
The following accounting policies have been applied in the consolidated financial statements as at 31 December 2025.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents are those held to meet short-term cash needs, rather than for investment or other purposes. For an investment to be considered as cash or cash equivalent, it must be able to be readily converted into a known amount of cash and must be subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of purchase or manufacturing cost, determined on a weighted average cost basis, and realisable value based on market trends, net of variable selling costs.
Manufacturing cost includes raw materials and all direct or indirect production-related expenses. Financial expenses are excluded. Obsolete and slow-moving inventories are written down according to their realisable value.

CERTIFIED
Receivables included in current assets
Receivables are initially recognised at fair value of the consideration to be received, which usually corresponds to the nominal value shown on the invoice, adjusted (if necessary) to their estimated realisable value by making provision for doubtful accounts. Subsequently, receivables are measured at amortised cost, which generally corresponds to their nominal value.
The recoverability of receivables is assessed on the basis of expected credit losses. Expected losses are based on the difference between the contractually due cash flows and the cash flows the group expects to receive over the life of the receivable. The Group has defined a system based on historical information of prospective elements, with reference to specific types of debtors, as a tool for determining expected losses.
Receivables assigned through without-recourse factoring transactions after which the related risks and benefits are definitively transferred to the assignee are derecognised from the statement of financial position at the time of transfer. Receivables assigned through recourse factoring transactions are not derecognised.
Property, plant and equipment and other tangible fixed assets
They mainly relate to industrial sites. Assets are shown at historical cost, net of accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.
Cost includes related charges, together with the portion of direct and indirect expenses reasonably attributable to individual assets.
They are depreciated each month on a straight-line basis using rates that reflect the technical and economic remaining lives of the related assets.
The depreciable value is the cost of an asset less its residual value, where the residual value of an asset is the estimated value that the entity could receive currently from its disposal, if the asset was already in the condition expected at the end of its useful life net of estimated disposal costs.
Depreciation is calculated from the month that the asset becomes available for use, or when it is potentially able to provide the economic benefits expected of it.
The annual average depreciation/amortisation rates applied are as follows:
| % | |
|---|---|
| Land | n.a. |
| Industrial buildings and light constructions | 2.5-12.5 |
| Plant and machinery | 7-14 |
| Industrial and commercial equipment | 10-25 |
| Other assets | 10-33.3 |
| Tooling | 25 |
| Assets under construction | n.a. |
Land, assets under construction and payments on account are not depreciated.
Ordinary maintenance costs are charged to the Consolidated Income Statement.

CERTIFIED
Maintenance costs that increase the value, functions or useful life of fixed assets are recorded directly as the increase in the value of the assets to which they refer and depreciated over their residual useful lives.
Gains or losses on the disposal of assets are calculated as the difference between the sales proceeds and the net book value of the asset and are charged to the Consolidated Income Statement.
Grants are shown in the Statement of Financial Position as an adjustment of the book value of the asset concerned. Grants are then recognised as income over the useful life of the asset by effectively reducing the depreciation charge each year.
Rights of use
The standard IFRS 16 provides a new definition of lease and introduces a criterion based on the control (right of use) of an asset to differentiate between lease and service agreements according to: asset identification, right to replacement of the asset, right to obtain all economic benefits arising out of use of the asset and right to control the use of the asset underlying the agreement.
The standard introduces a single lessee accounting model for recognising and evaluating lease agreements, which provides for the underlying asset to be recognised in assets and counterbalanced by a financial liability. Lessees may elect to not recognise agreements for low-value assets or with a term of up to 12 months as leases.
The Group recognises right of use assets that do not meet the definition of investment property under item "rights of use" and lease liabilities are booked to item "financial payables for rights of use" in the statement of financial position.
On the effective date of the lease agreement, the Group recognises the right of use asset and the lease liability. The right of use asset is initially measured at cost and subsequently at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, and adjusted to reflect the revaluation of the lease liability.
The Group measures the lease liability at the present value of payments due for lease agreements not paid on the effective date, discounted at the marginal borrowing rate. The lease liability is subsequently adjusted by adding accrued interest and subtracting the lease payments made, and is revalued in the event of changes in future lease payments due to a changing index or rate, in the event the amount that the Group expects to pay as a guarantee on the residual value changes, or when the Group changes its valuation for the reporting period or in the event of a call, extension or termination option.
Intangible assets
An intangible asset is only recognised if it is identifiable and verifiable, it is probable that it will generate economic benefits in the future and its cost can be measured reliably.
Intangible assets with a finite life are valued at purchase or production cost, net of amortization and accumulated impairment losses.
The annual average depreciation/amortisation rates applied are as follows:

| Software | 20-50 |
| Other | 20-33.3 |
| Goodwill | n.a. |
| Assets under construction | n.a. |
Amortization is based on the asset’s estimated useful life and begins when it is available for use.
Research and development expenses
Research expenses are charged to the Consolidated Income Statement as incurred in accordance with IAS 38.
Development expenses relating to specific projects are capitalised when their future benefit is considered reasonably certain by virtue of a customer’s commitment; they are then amortised over the entire period of future profits expected to be earned by the project in question.
The capitalised value of the various projects is reviewed annually - or more frequently if there are particular reasons for doing so - analysing its recoverable amount to assess if there have been any impairment losses.
Trademarks and licences
Trademarks and licences are valued at cost, less amortization and accumulated impairment losses. The cost is amortised over the shorter of the contract term and the finite useful life of the asset.
Customer Relations
Customer relations represent the value of the customer portfolio of the Systèmes Moteurs Group and the company ATN Molds & Parts S.A.S. at the acquisition date as determined during the Purchase Price Allocation process.
Brand name
Brand name represents the value of the “Systèmes Moteurs” brand name at the acquisition date as determined during the Purchase Price Allocation process.
Software
The costs of software licences, including related charges, are capitalised and shown in the financial statements net of amortization and any accumulated impairment losses.
Goodwill
Goodwill resulting from business combinations is initially recognised at cost as at the acquisition-date, as detailed in the paragraph above entitled “Business combinations”. Goodwill is not amortised but is tested annually for impairment, or more frequently if specific events or changed circumstances indicate a potential loss in value. Unlike other intangible assets, reversal of an impairment loss is not allowed for goodwill.
For impairment test purposes, goodwill was allocated to each of the Cash Generating Units (CGU) due to benefit from the acquisition.

The Sogefi Group currently encompasses four CGUs: Air & Cooling, Car Suspension, Industrial Vehicles Suspension and Precision Springs.
The goodwill currently on the books only concerns the CGUs Air & Cooling and Car Suspension.
Impairment losses of tangible and intangible fixed assets
If there are indications of possible losses in value, tangible and intangible fixed assets are subjected to impairment test, estimating the asset's recoverable amount and comparing it with its net book value. If the recoverable amount is less than the book value, the latter is reduced accordingly. This reduction constitutes an impairment loss, which is booked to the Consolidated Income Statement.
For goodwill and any other intangible fixed assets with indefinite useful life, an impairment test is carried out at least once a year.
With the exception of goodwill, if a previous writedown is no longer justified, a new recoverable amount is estimated, providing it is not higher than what the carrying value would have been if the writedown had never been made. This reversal is also booked to the Consolidated Income Statement.
Equity investments in other companies and other securities
For a more comprehensive discussion of the principles governing financial assets, which include investments in other companies and other securities, please refer to the specific Note prepared for this purpose (paragraph 3 2 "Financial assets").
Non-current assets held for sale and discontinued operations
Non-current assets or disposal groups consisting of assets and liabilities are classified as held for sale when it is highly probable that their book value will be recovered mainly through a sale transaction rather than through their continued use and the business or group being disposed of is available for immediate sale in its current condition.
The assets or the disposal group are usually stated at the lower of book value and fair value net of selling costs. Any impairment loss of a disposal group is allocated first to goodwill and then proportionally to the remaining assets and liabilities, with the exception of inventories, financial assets, deferred tax assets, employee benefits, investment property and biological assets, which continue to be valued in accordance with other Group accounting policies. Impairment losses arising from the initial classification of an asset as held for sale and subsequent valuation differences are recognised in the profit or loss for the period.
Once classified as held for sale, intangible assets and property, plant and equipment cease to be amortised and equity investments recognised using the equity method are no longer recorded using that method.
Non-current assets and groups being disposed of classified as held for sale are considered "discontinued operations" if, alternatively:
(i) they represent a significant independent line of business or a significant geographical area of business;
(ii) they are part of a plan to divest a significant stand-alone line of business or a significant geographic area of business; or
(iii) they relate to a subsidiary acquired solely for the purpose of its sale.

CERTIFIED
The results of discontinued operations, as well as any gain/loss realised on disposal, are shown separately in the Consolidated Income Statement and Consolidated Cash Flow Statement in a separate item, net of related tax effects, also for the periods considered for comparison.
Loans
Loans are initially recognised at cost, represented by the fair value received, net of related loan origination charges.
After initial recognition, loans are measured at amortised cost by applying the effective interest rate method.
The amortised cost is calculated taking account of issuing costs and any discount or premium envisaged at the time of settlement.
Derivative financial instruments
The Group uses derivative financial instruments to hedge its exposure to exchange and interest rate risks. Embedded derivatives are separated from their host contracts and accounted for separately when the related host contract is not a financial asset and when certain criteria are met.
Derivative financial instruments are initially measured at fair value. After initial recognition, derivatives are measured at fair value and any changes are usually recognised in the profit or loss for the year.
The Group designates certain derivatives as hedging instruments to hedge variability in cash flows arising from highly probable forecast transactions connected with fluctuating exchange and interest rates, and certain derivatives and non-derivative financial liabilities as hedges of the exchange risk for a net investment in a foreign operation.
At the beginning of the designated hedging relationship, the Group documents its risk management objectives and hedging strategy, as well as the economic relationship between hedged item and hedging instrument and whether it is expected that changes in the cash flows of the hedged item and hedging instrument will offset each other.
Cash flow hedging
When a derivative financial instrument is designated as a hedge of the exposure to the variability of cash flows, the effective portion of the changes in the fair value of the derivative is reported as a component of Consolidated Statement of Other Comprehensive Income and presented in the cash flow hedging reserve. The effective portion of the changes in the fair value of the derivative that is recognised in Consolidated Statement of Other Comprehensive Income is limited to the change in fair value of the hedged item (at present value) accumulated since the beginning of the hedge. The ineffective portion of the changes in the fair value of the derivative is taken immediately to profit or loss for the year.
In a hedging relationship, the Group designates only the fair value change of the spot element of the forward contract as a hedging instrument in a cash flow hedging relationship. The fair value change of the forward element of the forward foreign exchange contract (swap points) is accounted for separately as costs of hedging and recognised in Shareholders' equity, in the costs of hedging reserve.
If a planned hedged transaction entails the subsequent recognition of a non-financial asset or liability, such as inventories, the amount accrued in the cash flow hedging and

costs of hedging reserves is included directly in the initial cost of the asset or liability at recognition.
For all other hedged planned transactions, the amount must be reclassified from the cash flow hedging and costs of hedging reserves to profit or loss in the same period or periods during which the hedged expected future cash flows affect profit or loss for the period.
If the hedge no longer meets the eligibility criteria, upon reaching maturity date or if the hedge is sold or exercised, hedge accounting is discontinued prospectively. When hedge accounting is discontinued for cash flow hedges, the amount accrued in the cash flow hedging reserve is left in Shareholders' equity until (a) if the hedge is for a transaction that entails the recognition of a non-financial asset or liability, it is included in the cost of the non-financial asset or liability at initial recognition, or (b) for other cash flow hedges, it is reclassified to profit or loss for the period in the same period or periods during which the hedged expected future cash flows affect the profit or loss for the period.
If no hedged cash flows are expected, the amount must be reclassified immediately from the cash flow hedging and costs for hedging reserves to profit or loss for the year.
Trade and other payables
Payables are initially recognised at fair value of the consideration to be paid and subsequently at amortised cost, which generally corresponds to their nominal value.
Provisions for risks and charges, contingent liabilities and contingent assets
Provisions for risks and charges are recognised when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resource embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
On the other hand, no provision is made in the case of risks for which there is only a possibility that a liability may arise (contingent liabilities). In this case, the risk is disclosed in the notes on commitments and risks without making any provision.
Provisions relating to corporate reorganizations are only set aside once they have been approved and raised a valid expectation to the parties involved.
A contingent asset is a possible asset that arises from past events and whose existence will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the entity. Contingent assets are not recognised unless the receipt of the related benefits is virtually certain. Where the receipt of benefits is probable, contingent assets are disclosed in the section "Contingent Assets/Liabilities".
Post-retirement and similar employee benefits
Group employees have defined-benefit and/or defined-contribution pension plans, depending on the conditions and local practices of the countries in which the group operates.
The Group's responsibility is to finance the pension funds for the defined-benefit plans (including the employment termination indemnities currently applicable in Italy) and the

annual cost recognised in the Consolidated Income Statement are calculated on the basis of actuarial valuations that use the projected unit credit method.
The liability relating to benefits to be recognised on termination of employment recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position represents the present value of the defined-benefit obligation, less the fair value of the plan assets. Any net assets determined are recognised at the lowest of their value and the present value of available repayments and reductions of future contribution to the plan.
The Group recognises actuarial gains and losses and books them to “Other comprehensive income” immediately, so that the full net amount of the provisions for the defined benefits (net of plan assets) is recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. Any changes in the defined benefit provision and plan assets over the previous period must be subdivided into three components: the cost components of work performed during the reporting period must be recognised in the Consolidated Income Statement as service costs; net interest costs calculated by applying the appropriate discount rate to the opening balance of defined benefit provision net of assets must be booked to Consolidated Income Statement as net financial expenses and the actuarial gains and losses resulting from the remeasurement of assets and liabilities must be booked to “Other comprehensive income”. In addition, the return on assets included in net financial expenses must be calculated using the discount rate applicable to liabilities and no longer the expected return on the assets. The difference between actual return on plan assets and the return calculated as described above is booked to “Other comprehensive income”.
In the event of an amendment to the plan that changes the benefits relating to past service or in the event of the application of a new plan relating to past service, the costs relating to past service are booked to the Consolidated Income Statement (under service costs). In the event of an amendment to the plan that significantly reduces the number of employees involved in the plan or that changes the clauses of the plan in such a way that a significant part of future service due to employees will no longer accrue the same benefits or will accrue them but to a lesser extent, the profit or loss relating to said reduction is immediately booked to the Consolidated Income Statement (under service costs).
All of the costs and income resulting from the measurement of funds for pension plans are booked to the Consolidated Income Statement by functional area of destination, with the exception of the financial component relating to non-financed defined-benefit plans, which is included in Financial expenses.
The costs relating to defined-contribution plans are booked to the Consolidated Income Statement when incurred.
Other long-term benefits
Other long-term employee benefits relate to the French subsidiaries and include “Jubilee or other long-service benefits” that are not expected to be paid fully within the twelve months following the end of the reporting period during which the employee has rendered service for those benefits.
The valuation of other long-term benefits usually does not present the same degree of uncertainty as post-employment benefits. This is why IAS 19 requires a simplified method of accounting for such benefits. Unlike the accounting method required for

post-employment benefits, this method (which requires actuarial valuation) does not require discounting effects to be taken to Other comprehensive income.
Stock-based incentive plans
With regard to “Stock-based incentive plans” (Stock Grants), as envisaged by IFRS 2, the Group calculates the fair value of the option at the granting date, booking it to the Consolidated Income Statement as a cost over the vesting period of the benefit. The ad hoc equity reserve in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position has been increased. This imputed cost is measured by specialists with the help of suitable economic and actuarial models.
Deferred taxation
Deferred taxes are calculated on the taxable/deductible temporary differences between the book value of assets and liabilities and their tax bases, and classified under non-current assets and liabilities.
Deferred tax assets are accounted for only to the extent that it is probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available in the future against which they can be utilised.
The carrying amount of the deferred tax assets shown in the financial statements is subject to an annual review.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated at the tax rates expected to apply in the period when the differences reverse under the law of the countries in which the Group operates, considering current rates and those enacted or substantially enacted at the end of the reporting period.
Deferred tax liabilities are calculated on taxable temporary differences relating to equity investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures, except where the Company can control the reversal of such temporary differences and it is probable that they will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
Current and deferred taxes are recognised in the Consolidated Income Statement, except for those relating to items directly charged or credited to Other comprehensive income or other equity items, in which case tax effect is recognised directly under Other comprehensive income or equity.
Participation in CIR’s group tax filing system (applicable to Italian companies)
In the year 2025, the Parent Company Sogefi S.p.A. renewed their participation in the CIR Group tax filing system for the three-year period 2025-2027. In 2023, the subsidiaries Sogefi Suspensions Heavy Duty Italy S.p.A. and Sogefi Suspensions Passenger Car Italy S.p.A. renewed their adhesion to CIR Group tax filing system for the three-year period 2023-2025.
Each company joining to the group Italian tax filing system transfers its tax profit or loss to the parent company. The parent company recognises a credit corresponding to the IRES (Italian tax on company income) that companies have to pay (debit for the transferor company). On the contrary, for companies that booked tax losses, the parent company recognises a debt corresponding to the IRES for the part of loss actually offset at group level (credit for the transferee company). In connection with the Group tax filing system, those companies that record non-deductible net financial expenses may use the excess tax benefits available for offset of other Group companies (thus making such expenses deductible) for a consideration. Such consideration, in an amount

proportionate to the resulting tax benefit and applicable to excess tax benefits arising in Italy only, has been paid to the parent company CIR and is treated as expense for those companies that obtain the excess tax benefit and as revenue for those that transfer it.
Treasury shares
Treasury shares are deducted from equity. The original cost of treasury shares and the profit/loss resulting from their subsequent sales are recognised as changes in equity.
Revenues recognition
The IFRS 15 standard provides for a revenue recognition model, which is applicable to all agreements made with customers, with the exception of those falling under the scope of application of other IFRSs, such as leases, insurance contracts and financial instruments.
The main steps for revenue recognition according to the new model are:
- identifying the agreement in place with the customer;
- identifying the performance obligations under the agreement;
- defining the transaction price;
- price allocation to the performance obligations under the agreement;
- revenue recognition criteria when the entity satisfies each performance obligation.
Supply of “tooling” and “prototypes” does not meet the requirements to be identified as a separate performance obligation, so related revenues will be recognised on the same duration as the performance obligation identified by the supply of goods.
Revenues from services rendered are recognised at the time the services are provided.
Consolidated Income Statement Overview
Variable cost of sales
This represents the cost of goods sold. It includes the cost of raw and ancillary materials and goods for resale, as well as variable manufacturing and distribution costs, including the direct labour cost of production.
Manufacturing and R&D overheads
This category includes manufacturing overheads such as indirect labour cost of production, maintenance costs, consumable materials, building rents, and industrial equipment involved in production.
Also included are all R&D overheads, net of any development costs that are capitalised because of their future benefits and excluding amortization which is booked to a separate item in the Consolidated Income Statement.
Distribution and sales fixed expenses
These are costs that are essentially insensitive to changes in sales volumes, relating to personnel, promotion and advertising, external warehousing, rentals and other sales and distribution activities. This category, therefore, includes all fixed costs identified as being incurred after finished products have been stocked in the warehouse and directly related to their sale and distribution.

Administrative and general expenses
This category includes fixed labour costs, telephone expenses, legal and tax consulting fees, rents and rentals, cleaning, security and other general expenses.
Restructuring costs and other non-operating expenses/income
These are figures that do not relate to the Group's normal business activities or refer to non-ordinary activities and are expressly disclosed in the notes if they are of a significant amount.
Operating grants
These are credited to the Consolidated Income Statement when there is a reasonable certainty that the company will meet the conditions for obtaining the grant and that the grants will therefore be received.
Financial income and expenses
Interest income and expenses are recognised in the Consolidated Income Statement as financial income/expense following their assessment on an accrual basis.
Dividends
Dividend income is recorded when the right to receive it arises. This is normally at the time of the shareholders' resolution that approves distribution of the dividends.
Dividends to be distributed are recognised as a payable to shareholders immediately after they have been approved.
Current taxes
Current taxes are booked on the basis of a realistic estimate of taxable income calculated according to current tax legislation in the country concerned, taking account of any exemptions and tax credits that may be due.
Earnings per share (EPS)
Basic EPS is calculated by dividing net result for the period attributable to the ordinary shareholders of the Parent Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period, net of treasury shares.
Diluted EPS is obtained by adjusting the weighted average number of shares outstanding to take account of all potential ordinary shares that could have a dilutive effect.
Translation of foreign currency items
Functional currency
The functional currency of the Parent Company is the Euro and this is the presentation currency in which the consolidated financial statements are prepared and published.

CERTIFIED
Group companies prepare their financial statements in their own functional currency; these financial statements are then translated into euros (EUR) for the purpose of preparing the consolidated financial statements.
Accounting for foreign currency transactions
Foreign currency transactions are initially translated at the exchange rate ruling on the transaction date.
At the end of the reporting period, monetary assets and liabilities expressed in foreign currency are retranslated at the period-end exchange rate.
Non-monetary foreign currency items valued at historical cost are translated at the exchange rate ruling on the transaction date.
Non-monetary items carried at fair value are translated at the exchange rate ruling on the date this value was determined.
IAS 29 - Financial reporting in hyperinflationary economies
The financial statements of the consolidated Argentine companies were prepared at 31 December 2025 in the functional currency taking into account the effects of the application of IAS 29 “Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies”, so as to present the operating result and the statement of financial position reflecting purchasing power at the end of the period under consideration.
IAS 29 adoption was required starting with periods ending after 30 June 2018.
This standard does not establish an absolute inflation rate above which hyperinflation is deemed to occur. Under the IFRS, the need to restate the financial statements must be evaluated. Conditions that may indicate hyperinflation exists include:
a) the general population prefers to keep its wealth in non-monetary assets or in a relatively stable foreign currency. Local currency held is immediately invested to maintain purchasing power;
b) the general population regards monetary amounts not in terms of the local currency but in terms of a relatively stable foreign currency. Prices may be quoted in that currency;
c) sales and purchases on credit take place at prices that compensate for the expected loss of purchasing power during the credit period, even if the period is short;
d) interest rates, wages and prices are linked to a price index; and
e) the cumulative inflation rate over three years approaches or exceeds 100%.
Accordingly, the financial statements of the consolidated Argentine companies for the period ending 30 June 2018 and subsequent periods were prepared by applying IAS 29 because the cumulative inflation rate in Argentina over the last three years (2023-2025) amounts to approximately 787%.
Non-monetary amounts in the statement of financial position are restated by applying the change in the general price index occurred from the date of recognition in the financial statements to the end of the period. Monetary amounts are not restated because they are expressed in the unit of measurement current at the end of the period. All items in the Consolidated Income Statement are expressed in terms of the unit of measurement current at the end of the period, applying the change in the general price

index occurred since revenue and expense were initially recognised in the financial statements.
The following items of the income statement and non-monetary items were restated as a result of the application of this standard: “Tangible fixed assets”, “Intangible fixed assets”, “Inventories”, “Deferred tax liabilities”, “Other current liabilities” (for the portion related to the tooling contract liability recognized following the adoption of IFRS15).
Critical estimates and assumptions
Various estimates and assumptions regarding the future have to be made when preparing financial statements. They are the best estimates possible at the end of the reporting period. Given their nature, they could lead to a material difference in statement of financial position items in future years.
The main items affected by these estimates are as follows:
- goodwill (Euro 47.0 million) – impairment test: for the purpose of determining the value in use of the Cash Generating Units, the Group took into account the trends expected for 2026 as determined based on the budget and the forecasts included in the 2026-2029 strategic plan for the following years (adjusted to eliminate any estimated benefits from future projects and reorganisations, in line with a conservative approach). The 2026 budget and the 2026-2029 strategic plan were approved by the Board of Directors on 15 December 2025 and 26 January 2026, respectively. The impairment test, based on such forecasts, did not indicate any impairment;
- pension plans (Euro 9.4 million): included in “Non-current provisions”: actuarial consultants who offer their consulting services to the Group use different statistic assumptions in order to anticipate future events for the purpose of estimating pension plan expenses, liabilities and assets. Such assumptions concern discount rate, future wage inflation rates, mortality and turnover rates;
- recoverability of deferred tax assets on tax losses (Euro 5.0 million compared to Euro 5.2 million in the previous year) recognised to “Deferred tax assets”: as at 31 December 2025, deferred tax assets on tax losses incurred during the current and previous years were accounted for to the extent that it is probable that taxable income will be available in the future against which they can be utilised. Such probability is also determined based on the fact that such losses have originated mainly under extraordinary circumstances that are unlikely to occur again in the future and that the same could be recovered throughout an unlimited or long-term time frame;

Impacts of climate change
As pointed out in the Report on Operations, in the section “Consolidated Sustainability Statement in accordance with Italian Legislative Decree no. 125/2024”, the Group updated its assessments of climate change risks as follows:
-
physical risk: in 2024, the Group prepared the Physical climate risks assessment to assess the impact of climate change on its local production sites, considering a short-term (2030) and a long-term (2050) time horizon, in line with the regulatory requirements of the Taxonomy. From the analysis of the results of the Physical climate risks assessment, and taking into account the mitigation actions implemented, no significant physical risks related to climate change were identified that would require impairment of fixed assets or structural interventions by the Group. In 2025, the Group's plants were not subject to extreme events that caused significant damage; moreover, the Group continued the mitigation actions identified in the previous year (the related financial impacts in 2025 are: costs of Euro 0.3 million and capex of Euro 0.4 million). Thus, in 2025, the Group considered the previous year's assessment still relevant and therefore did not conduct a new physical risk analysis. Given these considerations, the Group did not deem it necessary to introduce any specific adjustments with reference to physical risk in the Strategic Plan 2026-2029 or in the terminal value.
-
risks related to technological innovation (or transition risks) are, on the other hand, considered significant and are linked to the conversion plans to hybrid/electric mobility of several jurisdictions, primarily the European Union, the NAFTA and China. In this regard, the Group formulated a plan for the development of new e-mobility products (included in the 2026 Budget and 2026-2029 Strategic Plan approved by the Board of Directors on 15 December 2025 and 26 January 2026, respectively, and used for the impairment test approved on 27 February 2026) and set targets for R&D investment on e-mobility products in line with the current trend (approx. 55%). The Group Strategic Plan also includes investments for enhancing energy efficiency, costs for increasing the share of electricity from renewable sources (through “I-RECs” - International Renewable Energy Certificates and “GO” - Guarantees of Origin-) and investments for the reduction of GHG emissions in line with the targets defined by the Group (as indicated in section 1.1.3.1 Strategy, Business Model and Value Chain of “Consolidated Sustainability Statement”). To date, the Group has not yet set greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction targets aligned with limiting global warming to 1.5 °C in accordance with the Paris Agreement and achieving climate neutrality by 2050. However, the Group will develop a structured plan to reduce greenhouse gas emissions (transition plan) to effectively address climate change, as described in section “2.2.3.1 E1-4 Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation Objectives” of the “Consolidated Sustainability Statement”. To mitigate the transition risk, analyses were conducted in 2025 to replace the gas furnaces used in the suspension production process with induction furnaces, with the aim of reducing gas consumption and related emissions. As a result, two new furnaces were installed at the Group’s plants in France and Italy with investments amounting to Euro 2.8 million.
The Group then considered the resilience of the two businesses areas to the transition to electric mobility also in the medium to long term (i.e. for the period after 2029). The Air & Cooling business unit is most affected by the transition to

electric mobility; thanks to its specific technical and production skills, this business unit has the opportunity to respond to the current and future needs of the electric mobility market. The strategic plan envisages a gradual increase in sales for e-mobility with a different trend in the various geographic areas of activity (Europe, Nafta, China).
For the Suspension business unit, whose market is independent of the evolution of the propulsion platform, no significant impact of the technological innovation risk on the business model has been foreseen in the medium to long term.
During 2025, the Group also assessed the possible impacts of the risks referred to technological innovation on the useful life of tangible fixed assets, ruling out the need to make write-downs or other interventions, and found no critical issues. As a result of the analysis performed, no impact on other items of the financial statements (i.e. decommissioning and/or risk provisions) is expected.

- IFRS 18: Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements (issued on April 9, 2024). The amendments apply to annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027.
IFRS and IFRIC accounting standards, amendments and interpretations not yet endorsed by the European Union
The European Union has not yet completed its endorsement process for the standards and amendments below reported at the date of these Financial Statements. The Directors are evaluating the possible effects of applying these amendments to the Group’s Consolidated Financial Statements:
- IFRS 18: “Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements” (issued on 9 April 2024). These amendments are to be applied for financial periods beginning on 1 January 2027.
- IFRS 19: “Subsidiaries without Public Accountability: Disclosures” (issued on 9 May 2024). These amendments are to be applied for financial periods beginning on 1 January 2027.
- Amendments to IAS 21: “The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates: Translation to a Hyperinflationary Presentation Currency” (issued on 13 November 2025). These amendments are to be applied for financial periods beginning on 1 January 2027.
- Amendment to IFRS 19: “Subsidiaries without Public Accountability: Disclosures” (issued on 21 August 2025). These amendments are to be applied for financial periods beginning on 1 January 2027.
Except for IFRS 18, for which a dedicated analysis is provided below, the new standards and amendments are not expected to have significant impacts on the amounts recognized in the statement of financial position or the income statement. IFRS 18 replaces IAS 1 and introduces three sets of requirements aimed at improving the communication of financial performance in the income statement: (i) the presentation of new specific subtotals in the income statement, (ii) disclosures on defined Management-defined Performance Measures (MPMs), and (iii) stricter requirements for grouping (aggregation and disaggregation) of information.
With regard to the presentation of the new defined subtotals, the standard requires entities to: (i) classify income and expenses into the following income statement categories: operating, investing, financing, income taxes, and discontinued operations; and (ii) present two new specific subtotals: operating profit and profit before financing and income taxes.
The operating category includes all income and expenses not classified in the investing, financing, income taxes, or discontinued operations categories, and therefore comprises income and expenses arising from the entity’s main business activities.

The investing category includes: (i) income and expenses from activities that generate returns independently from the entity’s primary business activities; and (ii) income and expenses from cash and cash equivalents and investments in associates and joint ventures.
The financing category includes income and expenses related to liabilities.
The income taxes category includes tax expenses (or income) recognized in the income statement in accordance with IAS 12 – Income Taxes. The discontinued operations category includes income and expenses from operations classified as such under IFRS 5 – Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations.
With respect to MPMs (Management-defined Performance Measures), the standard requires disclosure of income and expense subtotals—other than those required by IFRS 18 or other IFRS standards—that a company uses in public communications outside the financial statements to convey management’s view of financial performance to investors.
Regarding the grouping requirements, IFRS 18 provides guidance on how to group transactions and other events within the line items of the primary financial statements and within the notes.
In this regard, the standard requires entities to present costs within the operating category by nature or by function. The Company is assessing the impacts of IFRS 18 on presentation and disclosure and will update its financial statement formats and related notes accordingly.

3. FINANCIAL ASSETS
Classification and initial recognition
Trade receivables and debt instruments issued are recognised when they are originated. All other financial assets and liabilities are initially recognised upon trade date, i.e. when the Group becomes a party to the financial instrument.
With the exception of trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component, financial assets are initially measured at fair value plus or minus, in the case of financial assets or liabilities not measured at fair value recognised through profit or loss for the year (FVTPL), the transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of the financial asset. At the time of initial recognition, trade receivables that do not have a significant financing component are valued at their transaction price.
Subsequent measurement
As provided for by IFRS 9, upon initial recognition, a financial asset is classified according to its valuation: amortised cost; fair value recognised in Consolidated Statement of Other Comprehensive Income (FVOCI) - debt instrument; FVOCI - equity instrument; or at fair value recognised in the profit or loss for the year (FVTPL).
Financial assets are not reclassified after initial recognition, unless the Group changes its business model to manage financial assets. In this case, all affected financial assets concerned are reclassified on the first day of the first reporting period following the change in the business model.
A financial asset must be measured at amortised cost if both of the following conditions are met and it is not designated at FVTPL:
- the financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold the financial assets to collect their contractual cash flows; and
- the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise, on specified dates, to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
A financial asset must be measured at FVOCI if both of the following conditions are met and it is not designated at FVTPL:
- the financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is to collect contractual cash flows and sell financial assets; and
- the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise, on specified dates, to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
At initial recognition of an equity instrument not held for trading, the Group may elect to recognise subsequent changes in fair value in the Consolidated Statement of Other comprehensive income. This choice is irrevocable. Such choice is made for each asset.
Any financial assets that are not classified as measured at amortised cost or at FVOCI as indicated above, are measured at FVTPL. All derivative financial instruments are included. At initial recognition, the Group may irrevocably designate a financial asset as measured at fair value through profit or loss if this eliminates or significantly reduces the accounting inconsistency that would otherwise arise from measuring the financial asset at amortised cost or at FVOCI.

Business model assessment
The Group assesses the objective of the business model within which the financial asset is held at portfolio level, as this best reflects how the asset is managed and what information is communicated to management. Such information includes:
- the criteria set out, portfolio objectives and the practical application of those criteria, including, among other things, whether the strategy of corporate management aims to collect interest on the contract, to maintain a specified interest rate profile, to align the life of financial assets with that of related liabilities or is aimed at expected cash flows or to collect cash flows by selling assets;
- how portfolio performance is evaluated and communicated to Group executives with strategic responsibilities;
- the risks that affect the performance of the business model (and of the financial assets held within the business model) and how these risks are managed;
- the method of remuneration of the company's management (for example, whether remuneration is based on the fair value of the assets under management or collected contractual cash flows); and
- the frequency, value and timing of sales of financial assets in previous years, the reasons for selling and the expectations about future sales.
Transfers of financial assets to third parties as part of transactions that do not involve derecognition are not treated as sales for the purposes of business model assessment, in line with the Group's continued recognition of these assets in the financial statements.
Financial assets that meet the definition of financial assets held for trading or whose performance is measured at fair value are measured at FVTPL.
Assessment of whether contractual cash flows are solely payments of principal and interest
For the purposes of this assessment, 'principal' is the fair value of the financial asset at initial recognition, whereas 'interest' is the consideration for the time value of money, for the credit risk associated with the principal amount to be repaid over a given period of time and for other basic risks and costs associated with the loan (for example, liquidity risk and administrative costs), as well as for the profit margin.
In order to determine whether contractual cash flows are solely principal and interest payments, the Group considers the contractual terms of the instrument. It assesses, among other things, whether the financial asset contains a contractual provision that changes the timing or amount of contractual cash flows such that the following condition is not met. For the purposes of this assessment, the Group takes into account:
- contingent events that would change the timing or amount of financial flows;
- clauses that could entail an adjustment of the contractual rate of the coupon, including variable rate elements;
- prepayment and extension elements; and
- clauses limiting the Group's requests for cash flows from specific assets (for example, elements without recourse).

The prepayment element is consistent with the “cash flows that are solely principal and interest payments” criterion when the amount of the prepayment basically represents the principal amount outstanding and interest accrued on the principal amount outstanding, which may include reasonable additional compensation for early termination of the contract. In addition, in the case of a financial asset acquired at a significant premium or discount on the contractual nominal amount, an element that permits or requires the prepayment of an amount that basically represents the contractual nominal amount plus accrued (yet outstanding) contractual interest (which may include reasonable additional compensation for early termination of the contract) is accounted for in accordance with that criterion if the fair value of the prepayment element is not significant at initial recognition.
B) SEGMENT INFORMATION
4. OPERATING SEGMENTS
In compliance with the provisions of IFRS 8, the following information is provided by operating segments (business segments) and performance indicators that play a key role in the Group's strategic decisions.
The operating segments covered by the Segment Information are the Group’s strategic business sectors, provide different products and are managed separately from a strategic viewpoint.
As the analysis by business segments is given higher priority in the decision-making process, the analysis by geographic areas is limited to the assets and sales.
Business segments
With regard to the business segments, disclosures concerning the two business units are as follows: Air & Cooling and Suspensions. Figures for the Parent Company Sogefi S.p.A. and the subsidiary Sogefi Gestion S.A.S. are also provided for the purpose of reconciliation with consolidated values.

Investments for the year amounted to Euro 12,103 thousand and were recognised mainly in the Air and Cooling business unit.
Increases in "Other, assets under construction and payments on account", for the amount of Euro 4,376 thousand, refer mainly to a large number of investments in the development and implementation of the new products not yet ready for use.
The increases in "Development costs" refer to the capitalisation of costs incurred by Group companies to develop new products in collaboration with leading motor vehicle manufacturers (after obtaining the nomination letter from the customer). The most significant investments related to the North American and Chinese subsidiaries.
Item "Customer relationship" amounts to Euro 6,158 thousand and represents the value of the Systèmes Moteurs Group's customer portfolio at the acquisition date as determined during the Purchase Price Allocation process (2011) and the value of ATN Molds and Parts S.A.S.'s customer portfolio at the acquisition date (2023). This item is amortised over a period of approximately 19 years.
Item "Trade name Systèmes Moteurs" amounts to Euro 2,173 thousand and represents the value of the trade name "Systèmes Moteurs" at the acquisition date as determined during the Purchase Price Allocation process (2011). This item is amortised over a period of approximately 19 years.
Depreciation for the period was equal to Euro 15,883 thousand; it has been recorded in the appropriate item in the Consolidated Income Statement.
The item “(Writedowns)/revaluations during the period”, amounting to Euro 183 thousand, includes impairment losses of Euro 303 thousand and reversals of Euro 120 thousand. The amount was booked under “Other non-operating expenses (income)”.
The item does not include advances to suppliers for the purchase of fixed assets.
"Development costs" principally include costs generated internally, whereas "Industrial patents and intellectual property rights, concessions, licences and trademarks" consist of factors that are acquired externally for the most part.

"Other assets under construction and payments on account" include Euro 2,865 thousand of costs generated internally.
There are no intangible assets with an indefinite useful life except for goodwill.
Goodwill and impairment test
Goodwill is not amortised, but subjected each year to impairment test.
The Company identified four Cash Generating Units (CGUs):
- air & cooling
- car suspension
- industrial vehicle suspension
- precision springs
For the moment, it is possible to identify goodwill deriving from external acquisitions in two CGUs: Air & Cooling and Car Suspension.
The specific goodwill of CGU Air & Cooling amounts to Euro 35,039 thousand; and the goodwill of C.G.U. Car Suspension amounts to Euro 12,007 thousand.
Impairment tests have been carried out in accordance with the procedure laid down in IAS 36 to check whether there have been any losses in the value of this goodwill, by comparing the book value of the individual CGUs with their value in use, given by the present value of estimated future cash flows that are expected to result from the continuing use of the asset being tested for impairment.
The Discounted Cash Flow Unlevered method was used; the criteria used were approved by the Board of Directors on 26 January 2026. The Group took into account the expected performance as determined based on the budget for 2026 for the period under consideration and the forecasts included in the 2026-2029 strategic plan (adjusted to eliminate any estimated benefits from future projects and reorganisations, in line with a conservative approach) for the following years. The 2026 budget and the 2026-2029 strategic plan were approved by the Board of Directors on 15 December 2025 and 26 January 2026, respectively.
Budget and strategic plan were prepared taking into account forecasts for the automotive industry made by major sources in the industry.
Please refer to the section "Critical Estimates and Assumptions" for a description of how climate issues affect the determination of recoverable amount.
It should be noted that the impairment test prepared by the Company underwent methodological control by a leading consulting firm.
A discount rate of 9.33%, which reflects the weighted average cost of capital, was used after taxation (9.35% in 2024). The same discount rate is used for both CGUs. As a matter of fact, the two CGUs operate in the same sector and deal with the same kind of customers, and it is estimated that they are exposed to the same risks.
The terminal value was calculated using the "perpetual annuity" approach, assuming a growth rate ("g-rate") of 2.29% (unchanged compared to 2024) (based on long-term inflation estimates for the reference countries weighted by revenues) and considering an

operating cash flow based on the last year of the forecast, adjusted to project a stable situation “in perpetuity”, based on the following main assumptions:
- consider a level of investment necessary to “maintain” the business (for the purposes of balancing investment and depreciation/amortisation);
- change in working capital equal to zero.
As regards the average cost of capital, we calculated a weighted average of the cost of debt (taking into consideration the benchmark interest rates plus a spread) and the Company's own cost of capital, based on parameters for a group of firms operating in the European car components sector which are considered by the leading industry analysts to be Sogefi's peers.
The values used to calculate the average cost of capital (extrapolated from the main financial sources) are as follows:
- financial structure of the industry: 35.5%;
- levered beta of the industry: 1.04;
- risk-free rate: 5.36% (6 month average of risk-free rates of 10 year sovereign debt of the key markets in which the Group operates, weighted by revenues);
- risk premium: 5.50% (risk associated with AAA-rated countries calculated by an independent source);
- specific risk: 1.73% additional premium, calculated by an independent source, for the risk connected with small caps;
- debt cost spread for the industry: 1.30%.
As far as the sensitivity analysis goes, it should be noted that:
- the impairment test reached the break-even point at the following discounting rates (growth rate of terminal value remaining unchanged at 2.29% and all other plan assumptions being equal): 18.5% for Air and cooling C.G.U. and 12.9% for Car Suspension CGU;
- the impairment test reached break-even point with a significant reduction in EBIT during the explicit period covered by the plan that was also applied to terminal value (all other plan assumptions being equal): -56.7% for Air and cooling C.G.U. and -33.7% for Car Suspension CGU;
- the impairment test reached break-even point at the following growth rates (“g-rate”) of the terminal value (all other plan assumptions being equal): -12% for Air and cooling C.G.U. and -2.4% for Car Suspension CGU.
In addition, the Company has developed combined sensitivity analyses on the main parameters of the impairment test calculation (discount rate and “g-rate”); no evidence of impairment losses has emerged from said sensitivity analyses.
The test based on the present value of the estimated future cash flows turns out a value in use of the CGUs Car Suspension and Air & Cooling that exceeds their carrying value, so no writedown has been posted.

The tax effect has been calculated on the basis of the rates applicable in the various countries, which are in line with those of the previous year.
The increase in "Deferred tax assets (liabilities), net" compared to 31 December 2025 amounts to Euro 3,883 thousand and differs by Euro -339 thousand from the amount shown in the Consolidated Income Statement under "Income taxes - Deferred tax liabilities (assets)" (Euro 4,222 thousand) due to:
- a negative effect related to actuarial gains/losses arising from the application of IAS 19 for Euro 124 thousand;
- a positive effect of Euro 125 thousand following the adoption of IAS29;
- exchange differences with a negative amount of Euro 356 thousand;
- other positive effects for the amount of Euro 16 thousand.
The increase in the tax effect relating to item "Other provisions - Other payables" mostly originates from the provisions for the restructuring fund.
Item "Other" of deferred tax assets includes various types of items, such as for example costs for which tax deduction is deferred (for example, amounts allocated to remuneration accrued in 2025 not yet paid).

“Deferred tax assets for tax losses” amount to Euro 5,002 thousand, mainly refer to Sogefi HD Suspensions Germany GmbH (Euro 2,343 thousand, unchanged from 31 December 2024), Sogefi Engine Systems Mexico S. de R.L. de C.V. (Euro 2,149 thousand as at 31 December 2025 compared to Euro 2,431 thousand as at 31 December 2024), and Sogefi Air & Cooling USA, Inc. (Euro 510 thousand, compared to Euro 472 thousand as at 31 December 2024). These taxes were recognised because it is believed to be probable that taxable income will be available in the future against which such tax losses can be utilised.
Such probability is determined based on the fact that losses have originated under extraordinary circumstances that are unlikely to occur again.
Losses of the German subsidiary can be carried forward indefinitely to cover possible future profits; with reference to the amount that can be used annually, there is no limitation on the use of losses carried forward of less than Euro 1 million, while there is an annual limit of 70% of income for losses above this threshold. The losses of the Mexican subsidiary can be carried forward within a five-year limit, but there are no limitations on their use. Losses of the US subsidiary referred to federal tax can be carried forward indefinitely, but the amount that can be used is limited to 80% of income; with reference to Michigan state tax, losses can be carried forward for 10 years, but there are no limitations on their use.
Note that the deferred tax assets relating to the “Allowance for doubtful accounts” and to the “Inventory writedowns” include amounts that will mainly be reversed in the twelve months following year end.
Column “Tax effect” of item “Other” of deferred tax liabilities includes:
- Euro 2,521 thousand relating to the taxed portion of dividends expected to be paid to the French subsidiaries and the Parent Company Sogefi S.p.A. in the short term;
- Euro 150 thousand relating to deferred tax liabilities generated by the application of IFRS 15;
- Euro 851 thousand relating to other headings, mainly referred to the subsidiary Sogefi Suspension Brasil Ltda.
As regards the figures shown under “Temporary differences excluded from the calculation of deferred tax assets (liabilities)”, deferred tax assets were not booked as, at year end, there was not a probability that they would be recovered. “Tax losses carried forward” mainly relate to subsidiaries Sogefi Suspensions S.A., S.ARA Composite S.A.S., Sogefi Suspensions Eastern Europe S.R.L. and Sogefi HD Suspensions Germany GmbH and Sogefi Engine Systems Mexico S. de R.L. de C.V..

“Actuarial (gains)/losses arising from experience adjustments” reflect the difference between actuarial assumptions and what occurred in practice (for instance, in terms of employee turnover, wage inflation or inflation rate) mainly in British pension funds.
“Actuarial (gains)/losses relating to other long-term benefits” mainly relate to the French subsidiaries.
With regard to the balances of companies that use functional currencies other than the Euro, please note that the Consolidated Income Statement items are translated into Euro using the average exchange rate of the reporting period; the present value of obligations at beginning and end of period was translated at the rate of exchange ruling at the relevant date.

Defined-benefit plans expose the Group to the following main actuarial risks:
- Interest risk: a decrease in the discount rate will lead to an increase in plan liability; however, if plan assets are present, such increase will be partially offset by an increase in the return on plan investments.
- Longevity risk: the value of the defined-benefit obligation is calculated taking into account the best possible estimate of the mortality rate of plan beneficiaries; an increase in life expectancy leads to an increase in the resulting obligation.
- Inflation risk/wage inflation risk: the value of the definite-benefit plan with reference to employees in service is calculated taking into account future pay rises and inflation rate: an increase in these elements causes the relevant obligation to increase.

The following paragraphs summarise the pension systems in the geographical area that affects the Group the most: France.
France
Pensions in France are essentially based on state pension plans and the responsibility of the company is limited to paying the contributions established by law.
In addition to this basic assistance guaranteed by the state, retiring employees are also entitled to other additional amounts under collective labour agreements that are determined based on length of service and salary level, and are only paid if the employee reaches retirement age in the company. An employee leaving the company before retirement age will lose these additional benefits.

CERTIFIED
These additional benefits are recognised as a liability for the company and, in accordance with IAS 19, they are considered as defined-benefit plans subject to actuarial valuation.
In addition to the retirement indemnity, a collective labour agreement provides for a “Jubilee benefit” (which is calculated with a different method at each different French subsidiary) that vests upon reaching 20, 30, 35 and 40 years of service with the company. Under the IAS 19, this “Jubilee benefit” falls under the residual category of “Other long-term benefits” and is subject to actuarial valuation; actuarial gains (losses) must be recognised in the Consolidated Income Statement. Employees will lose the bonus falling due upon the different service jubilee bonuses if they leave the company before reaching the years of service mentioned above.
The main assumptions used in the actuarial valuation of these “Pension funds” were as follows:
| 12.31.2025 | 12.31.2024 | |
|---|---|---|
| Discount rate % | 3.95 | 3.45 |
| Expected annual wage rise % | 2.1-4.1 | |
| based on age | 2.1-4.1 | |
| based on age | ||
| Annual inflation rate % | 2.00 | 2.00 |
| Retirement age | 62-67 | 62-67 |
The “Discount rate” is calculated based on the returns on Eurozone AA-rated corporate bonds (average duration of 11 years).
Changes in the “Present value of defined benefit obligations” were as follows:
| (in thousands of Euro) | 12.31.2025 | 12.31.2024 |

The sensitivity analysis of the French funds was performed by varying the following actuarial assumptions:
- Discount rate
- Wage inflation rate
An overview of the changes in the present value of the obligation triggered by changes in these actuarial assumptions is provided below:
| (in thousands of Euro) | 12.31.2025 | |

| Discount rate | (278) | 309 |
| Rate of salary increase | 326 | (282) |
Employment termination indemnities
This aspect only concerns the Group's Italian companies, where pensions are represented by state plans and the company's responsibility is limited to regular payment of social contributions each month.
In addition to state-provided pensions, employees are entitled by law to a termination indemnity that accrues in accordance with length of service and is paid when an employee leaves the company.
The termination indemnity is calculated based on the length of service and taxable remuneration of each employee.
The corresponding liability is put aside in a specific provision and the amounts accrued in previous years are subject to annual revaluation based on the official cost-of-life index and at the legal interest rates; it is not associated with any conditions or accrual periods, nor does it require any financial provision; as a result, there are no assets underlying the provision.
Further to the amendments to the "Employment termination indemnities" introduced by Italian Act 296 of 27 December 2006 and subsequent decrees and regulations issued in the early part of 2007, for companies with 50 or more employees (Sogefi Suspensions Passenger Car Italy S.p.A. and Sogefi Suspensions Heavy Duty Italy S.p.A.), the portions of the provision accruing as from 1 January 2007 are transferred - at employee's option - to supplementary pension funds or to the treasury fund held by INPS (the Italian social security authority) or to supplementary pension schemes, and are considered as "defined-contribution plans". These amounts therefore do not require actuarial valuation and are no longer booked to "Employment termination indemnities". The "Employment termination indemnities" accruing up to 31 December 2006 is still a "defined-benefit plan", consequently requiring actuarial valuation, which however will no longer take account of the component relating to future wage inflation.
In accordance with the IAS 19, for companies with less than 50 employees (Parent Company Sogefi S.p.A.) the item "Employment termination indemnities" as at 31 December 2025 is entirely accounted for as a "Definite-benefit plan" and is subject to actuarial valuation.
The assumptions taken into consideration when carrying out the actuarial valuation of the "Employment termination indemnities" were as follows:
Macroeconomic assumptions:
- annual discount rate (IBoxx Eurozone Corporate AA Index): 3.88% (2.90% as at 31 December 2024);

- annual inflation rate: 2.0% (same assumptions adopted as at 31 December 2024: 2.0%);
- annual increase in termination indemnity: 3.0% (same assumptions adopted as at 31 December 2024: 3.0%).
Demographic assumptions:
- rate of voluntary resignations: 3% - 10% of the workforce (same assumptions adopted as at 31 December 2024);
- retirement age: it was assumed that employees would reach the first of the requirements valid for mandatory general social security (same assumptions adopted as at 31 December 2024);
- probability of death: the RG48 mortality tables produced by the General State Accounting Body were used (same assumptions adopted as at 31 December 2024);
- probability of advanced settlement: an annual value of 2% - 3% each year was assumed (same assumptions adopted as at 31 December 2024);
- INPS' table split by age and gender was used for the probability of disability (same assumptions adopted as at 31 December 2024).

D) NOTES ON THE MAIN INCOME STATEMENT ITEMS: CONSOLIDATED INCOME STATEMENT
21. SALES REVENUES
Revenues from sales and services
Revenues in 2025 amounted to Euro 984.8 million, -3.7% compared to the same period in 2024. At constant exchange rates and net of Argentina's inflation, revenues in 2025 were in line with those in 2024 (-0.1%): growth in North and South America and China, at constant exchange rates, offset the drop in revenues in Europe.
Revenues from the sale of goods and services are as follows:
| (in thousands of Euro) | 2025 | 2024 | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Amount | % | Amount | % | |
| Suspensions | 539,093 | 54.7 | 564,607 | 55.2 |

| Intercompany eliminations | (325) | - | 268 | 0.1 |

The Suspensions business recorded a drop in revenue of 4.5% and 0.8% at constant exchange rates. In Europe, accounting for 67% of the business, revenues fell by 3.7%, mainly due to the Heavy Duty segment (-10.2%), which, as already mentioned, still had strong volumes in the first part of 2024, before the market slump during the year. While in South America and China revenues increased by 5.7% and 4.2% at constant exchange rates, respectively.
Revenues in the Air & Cooling segment declined by 2.5% year-on-year but increased by 0.9% at constant exchange rates. The USMCA area – which accounts for 49% of total revenues – recorded growth of 6.9% at constant exchange rates. This performance, together with growth in China (+5.8%), more than offset the decline recorded in Europe (-7.6%).

In Europe, the group's largest market (54% of total revenue in 2025), revenue fell by 4.9%, mainly due to the unfavourable trend in the Passenger Cars market and the decrease in revenue in the Heavy Duty segment, whose business in early 2024 was still very strong.

Except as outlined at the following paragraphs “Stock Grant plans”, the Group has not carried out any other transaction that involves the purchase of goods or services with payments based on shares or any other kind of instrument representing portions of equity. As a result, it is not necessary to disclose the fair value of such goods or services.
The Group has issued plans from 2016 to 2025 of which the main details are provided below.
Stock Grant plans
The Stock Grant plans provide for the free assignment of conditional rights (called units) that cannot be transferred to third parties or other beneficiaries; each of them entitles to the free assignment of one Sogefi S.p.A. share.
Until 2019, the plans provided for two categories of units:
- Time-based Units, the vesting of which is subject to the passing of the established time periods;
- Performance Units type A, whose vesting is subject to the passing of the time periods and the achievement of the targets based on the market value of the share, as set out in the regulation.
Starting with the 2020 Stock Grant Plan, an additional category of units was added:
- Performance Units type B, whose vesting is subject to the passing of the time periods and the achievement of the Economic-Financial Targets set out in the regulation.
In this regard, it should be noted that with the issuance of the 2022 Stock Grant Plan, the Type B Performance Units are also subject to the achievement of the Non-Financial Targets, measured on the basis of the comparison between the Non-Financial Results and the Non-Financial Targets set forth in the regulation.
The regulation provides for a minimum holding period during which the shares held for the plan can not be disposed of.
All shares assigned under these plans will be treasury shares held by Sogefi S.p.A. According to the regulation, a pre-condition for assigning the shares is a continued employer-employee relationship or the continued appointment as a director/executive of the Company or one of its subsidiaries throughout the vesting period of the rights.
On 24 April 2025, the Board of Directors executed the 2025 Stock Grant plan approved by the Shareholders’ Meeting held on the same date to assign a maximum of 1,000,000 conditional rights, restricted to employees of the Company and its subsidiaries, who were assigned a total of 755,000 Units (377,500 of which were Time-based Units, 226,500 Performance Units type A and 151,000 Performance Units type B).
The Time-Based Units will vest in twelve instalments, each equal to 8.33% of the total number of Time-Based Units granted, on a quarterly basis commencing on 24 April 2027, with final vesting on 24 January 2030.
Performance Units type A will vest at the same vesting dates established for Time-based Units, provided that the increase in price value of Sogefi S.p.A. shares at each vesting date is higher than the increase of the Sector Index (as provided for by the Regulation) at that date.

Performance Units type B will vest in three tranches, each equal to up to one third (1/3) of the total number of Performance Units type B granted, starting on 30 July 2027, at the following vesting dates and under the following conditions:
1) the first portion, with effect from 30 July 2027, depending on the achievement of the Economic-Financial Targets and Non-Financial Targets for the financial year 2026, in accordance with the Regulation;
2) the second portion, with effect from 30 July 2028, depending on the achievement of the Economic-Financial Targets and Non-Financial Targets for the financial year 2027, in accordance with the Regulation;
3) the third portion, with effect from 30 July 2029, depending on the achievement of the Economic-Financial Targets and Non-Financial Targets for the financial year 2028, in accordance with the Regulation.
The fair value of the units granted during 2025 was determined at the time of granting, with the help of an external consultant, and was calculated on the basis of the binomial model for the valuation of American options known as the Cox, Ross and Rubinstein (CRR) model for Time-based units and Performance Units type B, and on the basis of the model called "Monte Carlo simulation" for Performance Units type A. The overall fair value amounts to a total of Euro 1,235 thousand.
Input data used for measuring the fair value of the 2025 stock grant plan are provided below:
- curves of EUR/SEK/CHF-riskless interest rates as at 24 April 2025;
- price of the Sogefi S.p.A. share as at 24 April 2025 (equal to Euro 1.862), and of the securities included in the benchmark basket, again as at 24 April 2025;
- standard prices of the Sogefi S.p.A. share and of the securities included in the benchmark basket, calculated as an average of the prices during the period starting on 24 March 2025 and ending on 23 April 2025 for the determination of the limit for Stock Grant Performance Units type A;
- 260-day historical volatility values observed at 24 April 2025 for stocks and foreign exchange rates;
- Dividend yield of zero; modest dividend of Euro 0.15 for the year 2025;
- historical series of the logarithmic returns of involved securities and EUR/SEK and EUR/CHF exchange rates to calculate the correlation among securities and among the 2 non-EUR denominated securities and associated exchange rates (to adjust for estimated trends), calculated for the period starting on 24 April 2024 and ending on 24 April 2025.

"Deferred tax assets on losses for the year not recognised in the financial statements" are mainly attributable to subsidiaries Sogefi HD Suspensions Germany GmbH and Sogefi Suspensions Eastern Europe S.r.l., for which there was no probability at the end of the year that such losses would be recovered.
The "Taxed portion of dividends" refers to the portion of dividends received from Group companies that is not tax-exempt.
Item "Other permanent differences and tax rate differentials" includes the impact of the difference between the tax rates applied in the various countries and the standard Italian tax rate as well as other differences.
The Pillar 2/GloBE rules came into force in Italy as of 1 January 2024 by means of Italian Legislative Decree no. 209/2023 implementing Directive No. 2523/2022/EU in Italy and are applicable to Sogefi S.p.A., providing that the entities that are part of the group - wherever they are located - are subject to an effective income tax rate of at least 15%, to be determined on the basis of a detailed calculation based on the accounting and tax data of such entities. Where the actual level of taxation (so-called "Effective Tax Rate") is lower than the minimum level, this results in the application of a minimum tax (so-called "Top-Up Tax") up to the value of actual taxation of 15%.
From a regulatory standpoint, it should be noted that during 2025 the process of implementing Italian Legislative Decree No. 209/2023 continued through the release of a number of Ministerial Decrees with implementing functions, thereby completing the regulatory framework envisaged by the legislator. However, a number of further measures still remain to be issued to regulate or make operational some specific procedural steps.
The Sogefi Group has carried out an estimation of the impacts resulting from the entry into force of the Pillar 2/GloBE rules, with the support of an external consultant, in order to identify the scope of application and the potential impact of this new legislation for entities located in the jurisdictions within its consolidation scope, also making use of the so-called Transitional CbCR Safe Harbours ("TCSH") applicable in the three-year period 2024-2026 (the so-called Transition Period) as provided to date by art. 39 of Italian Legislative Decree No. 209/2023 and by the Decree of 20 May 2024 of the Italian Minister of Economy and Finance on the implementation of the rules on simplified regimes.
In accordance with the OECD guidelines and Italian implementation regulations, the Transitional CbCR Safe Harbours tests have been prepared using the information available in the "Country-by-Country Report" (CbCR) of the Ultimate Parent Entity for the year 2025 with an approach that considers the "aggregated" data of the entities that are part of the Group located within the same jurisdiction as the one the group operates ("jurisdictional blending approach"). In addition to such information, further data sources required for the purposes of the Transitional CbCR Safe Harbours were used, as derived from the reporting packages prepared for consolidation purposes.
Based on this activity, the Transitional CbCR Safe Harbour tests were met for the following jurisdictions: Argentina, Brazil, Canada, France, Germany, India, Mexico, Netherlands, United Kingdom, Romania, and Spain.

In this regard, it should be noted that, with reference to the 2024 financial year, the following jurisdictions did not meet any of the Transitional CbCR Safe Harbour tests: China, Italy, Slovenia and Morocco. For these jurisdictions, it was therefore necessary to calculate the effective tax rate in accordance with the full set of Pillar 2/GloBE rules starting from the 2024 financial year onwards, including the year under review.
It should be noted that, as a result of the sale of the “Filtration” business unit in the first half of 2024, the Sogefi Group no longer operates in Morocco and discontinued its operations in Slovenia during 2025.
With reference to the jurisdictions of China, Italy and Slovenia, although a precise calculation of the level of effective taxation has not been made in the estimation for the 2025 financial statements, a calculation has been made in order to provisionally determine the tax burden, on the basis of the information available to date, i.e. on the basis of the reporting packages prepared by the controlled entities for the purpose of preparing the group's consolidated financial statements and data from the CbCR relating to the financial year 2025.
In particular, with reference to the Italian and Slovenian jurisdictions, it should be noted that no amount due by way of top-up tax was estimated. With reference to the group's entities located in China, for the sake of prudence, the estimated amount of the top-up tax would total Euro 160 thousand.
This value represents Sogefi Group's best estimate to date of the expected impact of the articulated set of Pillar 2/GloBE rules on the financial year 2025 and was determined by considering the amount of the pre-tax income (as resulting from the CbCR for the financial year 2025), the amount of the “Substance-Based Income Exclusion” and a tax rate applied to calculate the estimated impact equal to the difference between 15% and the effective tax rate applied in the individual jurisdiction (obtained for estimation purposes on the basis of the “Simplified effective tax rate test” described above). Since not all of the adjustments that would have been required by the Pillar 2/GloBE rules “when fully implemented” have been considered for the forecast, the actual impact that such rules could have on the Sogefi Group's income could differ from the initial estimate specified previously and will be subject - for the same financial year - to a more precise determination when calculating the Effective Tax Rate pursuant to the Pillar 2/GloBE rules for the fulfilment of reporting and payment obligations.
Finally, it should be noted that Sogefi Group did not recognise any effect for deferred taxation purposes resulting from the entry into force of the Pillar 2 rules as of 1 January 2024.
35. INCOME (LOSS) FROM DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS, NET OF TAX EFFECTS
This item amounted to Euro -464 thousand as at 31 December 2025 compared to Euro 125,881 thousand as at 31 December 2024 and included the values related to the Filtration division, which was sold in May 2024, and the values related to the Mexican suspension business, which was sold in financial year 2023 and was already reported as discontinued operations in previous financial years.

37. EARNINGS PER SHARE (EPS)
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net profit/(loss) for the year, the profit/(loss) from operating activities and the profit/(loss) from discontinued operations, attributable to Shareholders holding ordinary shares of the Parent Company, by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year, excluding treasury shares.
Diluted earnings per share is calculated by adjusting the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding to take into account all potential ordinary shares that may result in a dilutive effect. The Company only has one category of potential ordinary shares, namely those deriving from the potential exercise of the stock grant plans granted to employees. The calculation of outstanding ordinary shares excludes treasury shares.

Financial instruments
The following table shows a comparison between the book value of the Group’s financial instruments and their fair value.
An analysis of the table shows that the fair value is different from the book value only in the case of short-term and long-term fixed-rate financial debts. This positive difference, corresponding to Euro 1 thousand, is generated by a recalculation of these loans at year-end date at current market rates.
The spreads of floating-rate loans are in line with standard market conditions.
The fair value of fixed-rate financial debts is classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy (see paragraph “Categories of financial assets and liabilities stated in the financial statements and fair value hierarchy”) and was measured using generally accepted discounted cash flow models and a free-risk discount rate.

Financial risk management
Given that the Group operates on world markets, its activity is exposed to various kinds of financial risks, including fluctuations, up or down, of interest and exchange rates, and cash flow risks (for cash flows generated outside of the Eurozone). In order to minimise these risks, the Group uses derivatives as part of its risk management activity, whereas it does not use or hold derivatives or similar instruments purely for trading purposes.
The Group also has available a variety of financial instruments other than derivatives, such as bank loans, financial leases, rentals, sight deposits, payables and receivables deriving from normal operating activities.

The Group handles its main hedging operations centrally. Precise instructions have also been issued, laying down guidelines on risk management, while procedures have been introduced to control all transactions in derivatives.
Interest risk
The interest risk to which the Group is exposed mainly arises from long-term debts.
These debts may be fixed or floating rate.
Floating rate debts, which represent 97% of the net book value of Group loans, expose the Group to a risk arising from interest rate volatility (cash flow risk).
The following table gives a breakdown, by maturity, of the book value of the Group's financial assets and liabilities instruments, which are exposed to interest rate risk as at 31 December 2025, split according to whether they are contractually at a fixed or floating rate (for further details see the table shown in the analysis of "Liquidity risk"):
| (in thousands of Euro) | within 12 months | between 1 and 2 years | between 2 and 3 years | between 3 and 4 years | between 4 and 5 years | beyond 5 years | Total |

| TOTAL FLOATING RATE - LIABILITIES | (44,841) | - | (29,574) | (5,300) | - | - | (79,715) |
Financial instruments under "Total fixed rate - Asset" refer to "Other financial assets valued at amortised cost".
Financial instruments under "Total floating rate - Asset" refer to "Cash and cash equivalents" and to "Financial receivables - current".
A sensitivity analysis is provided below, which shows the impact on the Net Profit, net of tax, and on consolidated equity of a change in interest rates that is considered reasonably possible.
An increase or decrease in interest rates of 100 basis points, applied to floating-rate financial assets and liabilities in existence as at 31 December 2025, including interest-rate hedges, would have the following effects:
| (in thousands of Euro) | 12.31.2025 | 12.31.2024 | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|

| - 100 basis points | 475 | 475 | 493 | 493 |
The effect on Shareholders' equity at 31 December 2025 is in line with the effect on the Consolidated Income Statement.

Currency risk
As it operates at an international level, the Group is exposed to the risk that changes in exchange rates could have an impact on the fair value of some of its assets or liabilities. Moreover, as can be seen from the segment information given in Note 4, the Group produces and sells mainly in countries of the Eurozone, but it is potentially exposed to currency risk, above all in respect of the British Pound, Brazilian Real, US Dollar, Argentine Peso, Chinese Renminbi and Canadian Dollar.
Generally speaking, the Group is not particularly exposed to exchange risk, which is mainly related to the translation of foreign subsidiaries' financial statements, as the currencies in which the foreign operating companies bill and those in which they are invoiced tend to be much the same.
As regards borrowings, there are also policies stating that any funds raised from third parties have to be in the same currency as the functional currency of the company obtaining the loan. If any exception is made to this principle, then the risk is hedged through forward currency purchases.
A sensitivity analysis is provided below, which shows the impact on the net profit, especially on "Exchange (gains) losses", net of tax, and on consolidated equity of a change that is considered reasonably possible in exchange rates of the main foreign currencies. Note that the exchange effect of translating the financial statements of foreign subsidiaries into Euro has not been taken into consideration here.
What has been taken into consideration are the financial assets and liabilities outstanding as at 31 December 2025 denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the individual subsidiaries. This analysis also takes into account any changes in the fair value of the derivative financial instruments.
As at 31 December 2025, exchange risk was concentrated mainly in transactions with the Euro.
A 5% appreciation or depreciation of the Euro against the other main currencies would have the following effects:
| (in thousands of Euro) | 12.31.2025 | 12.31.2024 | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sensitivity Analysis | Net profit | Equity | Net profit | Equity |
| + 5% | 327 | 327 | (288) | (288) |
| - 5% | (362) | (362) | 323 | 323 |
These effects are mainly due to the EUR/RON exchange rate for the net financial and commercial exposure in Euro of the Romanian subsidiary S.C. Sogefi Air & Cooling S.r.l..
Please note that a sensitivity analysis of the CAD/USD exchange rate showed that a 5% appreciation/depreciation of the Canadian dollar against the US dollar would cause Group's net profit and equity to increase/decrease by Euro 146 thousand.
These effects are due to the exposure for the trade payables and financial debt in USD of the Canadian and English subsidiaries.

Price risk
The Group is partially exposed to price risk as it makes purchases of various raw materials such as steel, plastics, aluminium, cellulose products.
The risk is handled in the best way possible thanks to centralised purchasing at business unit level and to a policy of having various suppliers for each kind of raw material, operating in different parts of the world.
We would also point out that price risk is generally mitigated by the Group's ability to pass on part of the variation in raw material costs to selling prices.
The price risk on Group investments classified as “Other financial assets available for sale” is not significant.
Credit risk
This is the risk that one of the parties signing a contract of a financial nature defaults on an obligation, thereby provoking a financial loss. This risk can derive from strictly commercial aspects (granting and concentration of credits), as well as from purely financial aspects (choice of counterparties used in financial transactions).
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents held by the Group as at 31 December 2025 amounted to Euro 54,435 thousand (Euro 57,327 thousand as at 31 December 2024). Cash and cash equivalents are held with banks and financial institutions with credit ratings between Aa1 and B3 by Moody’s.
Impairment losses of cash and cash equivalents are measured at 12-month expected credit losses and reflect the maturities of short-term exposures. The Group believes its credit risk on cash and cash equivalents to be low, according to the counterparties’ credit ratings by third parties.
The Group measures expected credit loss relating to cash and cash equivalents using a method similar to that adopted for debt instruments.
As at 31 December 2025, impairment losses of cash and cash equivalents were equal to Euro 1 thousand.
Derivative financial instruments
Derivative financial instruments were entered into with banks and financial institutions with credit ratings between A1 and Baa3 by Moody’s.
Trade receivables
From a commercial point of view, the Group does not have excessive concentrations of credit risk as it operates on Original Equipment distribution channel, that makes it possible not to depend too much on individual customers. The main customers are car and industrial vehicle manufacturers.
In order to minimise credit risk, however, procedures have in any case been implemented to limit the impact of any customer insolvencies.
As regards counterparties for the management of financial resources, the Group only has recourse to partners that have a safe profile and a high international standing.
The Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk as at 31 December 2025 is represented by the book value of the financial assets shown in the financial statements (Euro

151,423 thousand), as well as by the nominal value of the guarantees given in favour of third parties, as mentioned in Note 41 (Euro 2,153 thousand).
The exposure to credit risk is essentially linked to trade receivables which amounted to Euro 78,977 thousand as at 31 December 2025 (Euro 86,889 thousand as at 31 December 2024), written down by Euro 3,283 thousand (Euro 2,607 thousand as at 31 December 2024).

The item “Total receivables still to fall due” does not contain significant positions that have been renegotiated.
Considering the nature of the Sogefi Group’s customers (cars and industrial vehicles manufacturers), a Credit risk analysis by type of customer is not considered meaningful.
Liquidity risk
This is the risk that the Group may have trouble meeting its commitments associated with financial liabilities settled by cash or other financial assets. The Group’s approach to managing liquidity is to have sufficient funds to meet its commitments upon maturity at all times, whether under normal conditions or under financial pressure, without incurring in excess charges or damaging its reputation.
The Group is subject to a minimum amount of liquidity risk, namely having to handle a situation where it is not able to raise sufficient funds to meet its liabilities.
The Group has always taken an extremely prudent approach to its financial structure, using mainly medium/long-term funding, whereas forms of short-term financing are generally used only to cope with moments of peak requirement.
Its solid capital structure makes it relatively easy for the Group to find additional sources of financing.
It should also be mentioned that the Parent Company Sogefi S.p.A. has implemented a cash pooling system for all of the main European and North American subsidiaries, which makes it possible to optimise liquidity and cash flow management at a supranational level.

Hedging
a) exchange risk hedges – not designated in hedge accounting
The Sogefi Group has entered the following contracts to hedge the exchange risk on commercial balances. Note that even though the Group considers these instruments as exchange risk hedges from a risk management point of view, it has chosen not to adopt hedge accounting, as this treatment is not considered suitable for the Group’s operating requirements. It therefore measures such contracts at fair value, posting the differences to “Exchange (gains) losses” in the Consolidated Income Statement (this difference is offset within Consolidated Income Statement by the fair value change of the asset/liability denominated in a certain currency).
The fair value of these instruments was calculated using the forward curve of exchange rates as at 31 December 2025.
As at 31 December 2025, the following forward purchase/sale contracts were maintained to hedge the exchange risk on commercial positions:
| Company | Forward purchase / Forward sale | Date opened | Currency exchange | Spot price | Date closed | Forward price | Fair value (*) at 12.31.2025 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sogefi Suspension Brasil Ltda | S | 250,000 USD | 11/28/25 | BRL/currency | 5.3490 | 03/18/26 | 5.4545 | (5) |

*Fair value was recognised in "Other short-term liabilities for derivative financial instruments".
b) fair value of derivatives
The fair value of all derivatives was calculated using the forward curves of exchange and interest rates as at 31 December 2025, also taking into account a credit valuation adjustment/debit valuation adjustment. The fair value amounts of derivatives are classified as Level 2 in fair value hierarchy, based on the significance of the inputs used in fair value measurements.
Equity management
The main objectives pursued by the Group through its equity risk management are the creation of value for shareholders and the safeguarding of business continuity. The Group also sets itself the objective of maintaining an optimal equity structure so as to reduce the cost of indebtedness and meet the covenants established by the loan agreements.
The Group monitors equity on the basis of the net financial indebtedness and total equity ratio (gearing ratio). For the purposes of determination of the net financial indebtedness reference is made to Note 20. Total equity is analysed in Note 19.
As at 31 December 2025, gearing ratio stands at 0.20 (0.18 as at 31 December 2024).

Categories of financial assets and liabilities stated in the financial statements and fair value hierarchy
In compliance with the requirements of IFRS 7, the table below provides the information on the categories of financial assets and liabilities held by the Group as at 31 December 2025.
For the financial instruments measured at fair value in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position the IFRS 13 requires a classification by hierarchy determined by reference to the source of inputs used to derive the fair value. This classification uses the following three levels:
- level 1: if the financial instrument is quoted in an active market;
- level 2: if the fair value is determined using valuation techniques and the inputs used for the valuation (other than quoted prices of financial instruments) are observable in the market. Specifically, fair value was calculated using the forward curves of exchange and interest rates;
- level 3: if the fair value is determined using valuation techniques and the inputs used for the valuation are non-observable in the market.

F) 39. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
See IAS 24 and the related communications from Consob for the definition of related party transactions.
The Company’s Board of Directors has established a Related Party Transactions Committee and adopted the Procedure for Related Party Transactions (the “Procedure”), which establishes the principles of conduct and the rules adopted by Sogefi S.p.A. to ensure the transparency and substantive and procedural fairness of transactions with its related parties carried out by the Company directly or through its subsidiaries.
Related parties transactions are conducted at arm’s length, taking into account the quality and type of services.
The Group is controlled by the Parent Company CIR S.p.A. (which in turn is controlled by the ultimate Parent Company Fratelli De Benedetti S.p.A.), which as at 31 December 2025 held 59.60% of the share capital (60.05% of outstanding shares, excluding treasury shares). The shares of Sogefi S.p.A. are listed on the Euronext Star Milan Market.
The Group’s consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the consolidated companies, listed in chapter H along with the stake held in the same by the Group.
Dealings between Group companies are conducted at arm’s length, taking into account the quality and type of services rendered.
The Parent Company Sogefi S.p.A., because of its role of Holding company, provides administrative, financial and management services directly to the two French subholding operative companies (Sogefi Suspensions S.A. and Sogefi Air & Cooling S.A.S.) which, in turn, beside dealing with the services provided by the Parent Company to the companies operating in the relevant business units, provide directly to the latter support services as well as operating and business services. The Parent Company also debits and credits interest at a market spread to those subsidiaries that have joined the Group's cash pooling system. The Parent Company is also charging royalties fees on the Group “SAP” information system to those subsidiaries at which implementation has been completed.
The subsidiary Sogefi Gestion S.A.S. carries out centralised functions and charges Group companies for administrative, financial, legal, industrial and IT services as well as royalties for the use of Group-wide IT applications.
As part of its activity, the Parent Company Sogefi S.p.A. makes use of the services provided by CIR S.p.A., its Parent Company, in areas such as planning and control, sustainability, administration, finance and corporate governance, IT support, communication and institutional matters. This relationship is regulated by contracts at arm's-length conditions and the cost is commensurate to the effective value of such services to the Sogefi Group in terms of the resources devoted to them and the specific economic advantages obtained as a result. It should be noted that Sogefi's interest in the provision of services by the parent company is considered to be preferable to services provided by third parties because of, among other things, its extensive knowledge acquired over time in its specific business and market environment. The service contract that ended on 31 December 2025 was renewed in January 2026 for a term of one year.

As at 31 December 2025, the Group had third-party goods and materials held at Group companies worth Euro 2,368 thousand.
43. CONTINGENT ASSETS/LIABILITIES
Sogefi Group is managing environmental issues in some production plants. No relevant costs are expected.
In October 2016, the Parent Company Sogefi S.p.A. received four notices of assessment relating to fiscal periods 2011 and 2012, as a result of a tax audit carried out during the first half year 2016, with two irregularities: i) undue detraction of Euro 0.6 million of VAT paid on purchases of goods and services, ii) non-deductibility from IRES tax (and relating non-deductibility for VAT of Euro 0.2 million) of the expense for services performed by parent company CIR S.p.A., for the overall taxable amount of Euro 1.3 million, not including interest and fines. The notices were challenged by the Company before the Province Tax Commission of Mantua, which on 14 July 2017 filed judgement no. 119/02/2017, ruling in favour of the Company on all claims. The Italian Tax Agency filed an appeal against parts of the judgement, requesting that only the notices of VAT assessment be sustained, and finally waiving the notices of IRES assessment (Italian Corporate Income Tax).
The Company has filed its rebuttal arguments against this partial appeal. On 19 November 2019, a hearing was held at the Lombardy Regional Tax Committee, which accepted the Authority's argument.
The judgement of the Regional Tax Committee (C.T.R.) of Lombardy, Brescia local unit, (no. 1/26/2020) was challenged by the Company before the Cassation on 30 September 2020. The Authority, through the Avvocatura Generale dello Stato (office of State lawyers), filed a defence.
On 31 December 2020, pending judgment on the merits, the Company paid the provisional amount ordered under Regional Tax Committee judgement no. 1/26/2020. This amount of Euro 1.3 million is included in the item "Tax receivables".
The public hearing was held on 6 November 2024. On 21 December 2024, the Italian Court of Cassation upheld the Company's appeal, overturning the CTR's judgment and referring it to another section of the Lombardy Tax Court of Second Instance to ascertain whether the system for determining the pro rata VAT used by the Company "is capable of identifying transactions that are actually eligible for deduction".
Following this victory, on 19 June 2025, the Company resumed proceedings before the Lombardy Tax Court of Second Instance, pursuant to Article 63 of Italian Legislative Decree no. 546/1992.
Based on the tax advisor's opinion, Directors believe the risk of losing to be possible but not likely.
In July 2025, the Italian Tax Authority initiated a tax audit at the Parent Company Sogefi S.p.A. with respect to the 2021 tax period, covering corporate income taxes, regional production tax (IRAP), VAT, withholding taxes, and transfer pricing matters. The audit was completed on 31 October 2025 with the issuance of the Audit Report ("Processo Verbale di Constatazione"). Subsequently, the Tax Authority served a Draft Tax Assessment Notice contesting the lack of remuneration of guarantees granted to subsidiary companies. The Company believes it has acted in accordance with transfer

pricing regulations and has therefore filed an application for an amicable settlement procedure (“accertamento con adesione”), while also reserving the right to pursue additional defensive actions.
Consequently, the Company did not set aside any amount for tax risks to contingent liabilities in financial statements as at 31 December 2025.

To the shareholders of
Sogefi S.p.A.
Report on the audit of the consolidated financial statements
Opinion
We have audited the consolidated financial statements of the Sogefi Group (the "group"), which comprise the statement of financial position as at 31 December 2025, the income statement and statements of comprehensive income, cash flows and changes in equity for the year then ended and notes thereto, which include material information on the accounting policies.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial position of the Sogefi Group as at 31 December 2025 and of its financial performance and cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with the IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board and endorsed by the European Union, as well as the Italian regulations implementing article 9 of Legislative decree no. 38/05.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISA Italia). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the "Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements" section of our report. We are independent of Sogefi S.p.A. (the "parent") in accordance with the ethics and independence rules and standards applicable in Italy to audits of financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Key audit matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current year. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Independent auditors' report
31 December 2025
Recoverability of goodwill
Notes to the consolidated financial statements: Note 2.3 “Accounting policies”, sections “Intangible assets - Goodwill” and “Critical estimates and assumptions” and Note 10 “Intangible assets”, section “Goodwill and Impairment test”
| Key audit matter | Audit procedures addressing the key audit matter |
|---|---|
| The consolidated financial statements at 31 December 2025 include goodwill of €47 million, allocated to the following cash-generating units (“CGU”): Air & Cooling and Car suspension. |
In accordance with the criteria approved by the board of directors on 26 January 2026, the directors carried out impairment tests in order to identify any impairment losses that would arise should the CGU’s carrying amount exceed their recoverable amount. The directors estimated the recoverable amount based on their value in use, calculated using the unlevered discounted cash flow model by discounting the CGU’s expected cash flows.
For impairment testing purposes, the directors used the expected operating cash flows estimated on the basis of the CGU’s 2026 budget and 2026-2029 strategic plan, approved by the board of directors respectively on 15 December 2025 and 26 January 2026.
The impairment test was also subjected to a methodological check by an external expert.
Impairment testing is complex and entails a high level of judgement, especially in relation to:
• the expected operating cash flows, calculated by taking into account the general economic performance and that of the group’s sector, the actual operating cash flows for recent years and the projected growth rates;
• the financial parameters used to calculate the discount rate.
For the above reasons, we believe that the recoverability of goodwill is a key audit matter. | Our audit procedures, which also involved our own specialists, included:

Measurement of current and non-current provisions
Notes to the consolidated financial statements: Note 2.3 "Accounting policies", section "Provisions for risks and charges, contingent liabilities and contingent assets" and Note 18 "Current provisions, non-current provisions and other payables", sections "Provision for restructuring", "Provision for product guarantee" and "Provision for lawsuits and other risks" and Note 28 "Restructuring costs".
| Key audit matter | Audit procedures addressing the key audit matter |
|---|---|
| The consolidated financial statements at 31 December 2025 include current and non-current provisions, which comprise the provisions for restructuring, product guarantee and lawsuits and other risks of €18.1 million, €6.7 million and €2.0 million, respectively. |
Assessing restructuring measures, contractual claims, litigation and disputes entails a significant level of judgement by the directors about their outcome which could have a significant impact on the calculation of provisions. Specifically:
• the group is exposed to the risk of product quality/non-conformance claims made by its customers;
• the group is exposed to the risk of liabilities with employees and third parties. Furthermore, in 2025, the group implemented restructuring measures focused on the Suspensions business in Europe in order to reduce the fixed costs of the industrial structure.
For the above reasons, we believe that the measurement of the above provisions is a key audit matter. | Our audit procedures included:
• updating our understanding of the process for the measurement of provisions and assessing the design and implementation of controls and procedures to assess the operating effectiveness of material controls;
• sending written requests for information to the legal and tax advisors about the assessment of the risk of losing pending disputes and the quantification of the related liability;
• analysing the assumptions used to determine the provisions through discussions with the relevant internal departments and analysis of the supporting documentation;
• analysing the events after the reporting date that provide information useful for an assessment of the provisions;
• assessing the appropriateness of the disclosures provided in the notes about provisions. |
Responsibilities of the parent's directors and board of statutory auditors ("Collegio Sindacale") for the consolidated financial statements
The directors are responsible for the preparation of consolidated financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with the IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board and endorsed by the European Union and the Italian regulations implementing article 9 of Legislative decree no. 38/05 and, within the terms established by the Italian law, for such internal control as they determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
The directors are responsible for assessing the group's ability to continue as a going concern and for the appropriate use of the going concern basis in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements and for the adequacy of the related disclosures. The use of this basis of accounting is appropriate unless the directors believe that the conditions for liquidating the parent or ceasing operations exist, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
The Collegio Sindacale is responsible for overseeing, within the terms established by the Italian law, the group's financial reporting process.

Auditors’ responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISA Italia will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with ISA Italia, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
- identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control;
- obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the group’s internal control;
- evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the directors;
- conclude on the appropriateness of the directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors’ report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors’ report. However, future events or conditions may cause the group to cease to continue as a going concern;
- evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation;
- obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with those charged with governance, identified at the appropriate level required by ISA Italia, regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with the ethics and independence rules and standards applicable in Italy and communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, the measures taken to eliminate those threats or the safeguards applied.

Independent auditors' limited assurance report on the consolidated sustainability statement pursuant to article 14-bis of Legislative decree no. 39 of 27 January 2010
To the shareholders of
Sogefi S.p.A.
Conclusion
Pursuant to articles 8 and 18.1 of Legislative decree no. 125 of 6 September 2024 (the "decree"), we have been engaged to perform a limited assurance engagement on the 2025 consolidated sustainability statement of the Sogefi Group (the "group") prepared in accordance with article 4 of the decree, presented in the specific section of the directors' report (the "consolidated sustainability statement").
Based on the procedures performed, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that:
- the group's 2025 consolidated sustainability statement has not been prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the reporting standards endorsed by the European Commission pursuant to Directive 2013/34/EU (the European Sustainability Reporting Standards, "ESRS");
- the information presented in section "2.4 Disclosure pursuant to article 8 of Regulation 2020/852 (EU taxonomy regulation)" of the consolidated sustainability statement has not been prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with article 8 of Regulation (EU) 852 of 18 June 2020 (the "taxonomy regulation").
Basis for conclusion
We have performed the limited assurance engagement in accordance with the Standard on Sustainability Assurance Engagements - SSAE (Italia). The procedures performed in a limited assurance engagement vary in nature and timing from, and are less in extent than for, a reasonable assurance engagement. Consequently, the level of assurance obtained in a limited assurance engagement is substantially lower than the assurance that would have been obtained had a reasonable assurance engagement been performed. Our responsibilities under that standard are further described in the "Auditors' responsibilities for the sustainability assurance engagement" section of our report.

Independent auditors' report
31 December 2025
We are independent in accordance with the ethics and independence rules and standards applicable in Italy to sustainability assurance engagements.
Our company applies International Standard on Quality Management 1 (ISQM Italia 1) and, accordingly, is required to design, implement and operate a system of quality management including policies or procedures regarding compliance with ethical requirements, professional standards and applicable legal and regulatory requirements.
We believe that the evidence we have acquired is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our conclusion.
Responsibilities of the directors and board of statutory auditors ("Collegio Sindacale") of Sogefi S.p.A (the "parent") for the consolidated sustainability statement
The directors are responsible for designing and implementing the procedures to identify the information included in the consolidated sustainability statement in accordance with the ESRS (the "materiality assessment process") and for the description of these procedures in section "1.1.4.1 Description of the process to identify and assess material impacts, risks and opportunities (IRO-1) and their interaction with the strategy and business model (SBM-3) and related disclosure requirements included in the Sustainability Statement (IRO-2)" of the consolidated sustainability statement.
The directors are also responsible for the preparation of a consolidated sustainability statement in accordance with article 4 of the decree, which contains the information identified through the materiality assessment process, including:
- compliance with the ESRS;
- compliance of the information presented in section "2.4 Disclosure pursuant to article 8 of Regulation 2020/852 (EU taxonomy regulation)" with article 8 of the taxonomy regulation.
Moreover, the directors are responsible, within the terms established by the Italian law, for designing, implementing and maintaining such internal controls as they determine is necessary to enable the preparation of a consolidated sustainability statement in accordance with article 4 of the decree that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. They are also responsible for selecting and applying appropriate methods to produce disclosures and formulating assumptions and estimates about specific information on sustainability matters that are reasonable in the circumstances.
The Collegio Sindacale is responsible for overseeing, within the terms established by the Italian law, compliance with the decree's provisions.
Inherent limitations in preparing the consolidated sustainability statement
For the purpose of disclosing forward-looking information in accordance with the ESRS, the directors are required to prepare such information based on assumptions, described in the consolidated sustainability statement, regarding future events and the group's actions that are not necessarily expected to occur. Actual results are likely to be different from the forecast sustainability information since anticipated events frequently do not occur as expected and the variation could be material.
The disclosures provided by the group about Scope 3 emissions are subject to more inherent limitations than those on Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions, given the lack of availability and relative precision of information used for determining both qualitative and quantitative value chain Scope 3 emissions information.

Auditors' responsibilities for the sustainability assurance engagement
Our objectives are to plan and perform procedures in order to obtain limited assurance about whether the consolidated sustainability statement is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an assurance report that includes our conclusion. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence decisions of intended users taken on the basis of the consolidated sustainability statement.
As part of a limited assurance engagement in accordance with SSAE (Italia), we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the engagement.
Our responsibilities include:
- considering risks to identify disclosures where a material misstatement is likely to occur, whether due to fraud or error;
- designing and performing procedures to address disclosures where a material misstatement is likely to occur. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control;
- directing, supervising and performing the sustainability limited assurance engagement and assuming full responsibility for the conclusion on the consolidated sustainability statement.
Summary of the work performed
A limited assurance engagement involves carrying out procedures to obtain evidence as a basis for our conclusion.
The procedures performed are based on our professional judgement and include inquiries, primarily of the parent's personnel responsible for the preparation of the information presented in the consolidated sustainability statement, documental analyses, recalculations and other evidence gathering procedures, as appropriate.
We have performed the following main procedures:
- updating our understanding of the following sustainability matters:
- the group's business management and organisational model;
- the group's strategies and policies, the achieved results and the related key performance indicators ("KPIs");
- the main impacts, risks and opportunities generated or borne by the group.
Moreover, we checked the above against the disclosures presented in consolidated sustainability statement;
- updating our understanding of the process adopted by the group to identify and assess material sustainability-related impacts, risks and opportunities (IROs), based on the double materiality principle. Moreover, on the basis of the information acquired, we evaluated any emerging inconsistencies that may indicate the presence of sustainability matters not addressed by the group in its materiality assessment process; Specifically, mostly through inquiries, observations and inspections, we gained an understanding of how the group:
- considered the interests and opinions of the stakeholders involved;

- identified its sustainability-related IROs, assessing their consistency with our knowledge of the group and its sector;
- defined and assessed material IROs by analysing the qualitative and quantitative materiality thresholds it determined;
With respect to the latter matter, we assessed the consistency of the information obtained with the outcomes of the Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) process;
- updating our understanding of the processes underlying the generation, recording and management of the qualitative and quantitative information disclosed in the consolidated sustainability statement, including of the reporting boundary, through interviews and discussions with the group's personnel and selected procedures on documentation;
- identifying the disclosures associated with a risk of material misstatement;
-
designing and performing procedures, based on our professional judgement, to respond to identified risks of material misstatement, including:
-
for information gathered at group level:
-
with reference to qualitative information and, in particular, the sustainability-related policies, actions and targets, we held inquiries and performed limited procedures on documentation;
-
with reference to quantitative information, we carried out analytical procedures, inspections, observations and recalculations on a sample basis;
-
for information gathered at subsidiary and site level, we visited:
-
Sogefi Suspensions Passenger Car Italy S.p.A. in Settimo Torinese (Italy);
- United Springs B.V. in Hengelo (the Netherlands);
- Sogefi Suspensions Eastern Europe S.R.L. in Oradea (Romania);
which we selected on the basis of their business and contribution to the metrics at consolidated level and location. During these visits, we interviewed group personnel and obtained documentary evidence supporting the calculation of the metrics;
- updating our understanding of the process adopted by the group to determine taxonomy-eligible exposures and whether they were aligned under the taxonomy regulation and checked the related disclosures presented in the consolidated sustainability statement;
- checking the consistency of the disclosures contained in the consolidated sustainability statement with those included in the group's consolidated financial statements pursuant to the applicable financial reporting framework, the underlying accounting records or management accounts;
