MAIN EVENTS FOR THE PERIOD AND BUSINESS PERFORMANCE
Consumption in Italy (total "grocery" markets – Modern Distribution) is, also in 2025, positive in value (+2.0%) and slightly up in volumes (+0.7%). In particular, the "Grandi Marche" cluster, in which the Marche di Valsola S.p.A. (hereinafter "Valsoia" or the "Company"), recorded substantially stable trends in value (+0.5%) but with volumes decreasing by -1.2% on an already negative trend (-1.0%) at the end of the previous year (source: NIQ December 2025).
Again with reference to the "Large Brands" cluster, Packaged Food recorded greater growth in value (+1.5%)

against a decrease in volumes of -1.0% (Source: NIQ December 2025).
Against this backdrop, the "Large Brands" in the total grocery market - Modern Distribution, continued to see a reduction in their market share (42.8%, 0.8 share points less than the previous year) against a growth in private labels and unbranded products.
The year 2025 recorded, in general, in the consumer markets, promotional indices still growing in an attempt to support consumption, with a greater effort for the "Big Brands" of the food segment.
Consumer prices continued an inflationary growth, that for the total "Large Packaged Consumption" stood at around +1.3% with a greater push from the "Big Brands", on average at +2.5%. It should be noted that the change in the average price of the shopping cart, influenced by a different mix of products purchased, is generally below the specific inflation for the same products: by way of example, in December 2025, against a spot inflation of +2.6%, the corresponding change in the shopping cart stopped at +1.2%.
It is clear that this market situation favours "low prices" compared to premium brands which, in turn, invest more in promotions to defend volumes.
Valsoia operates with its Brands (premium) in many markets (30 product categories), thus diversifying and reducing, overall, the risks and effects of fluctuations in volumes and revenues in the sum of the markets in which it operates.
In this direction, 2025 represented, for the Company Brands, a still positive year for the consumption (volumes) of some "core" lines such as, for the "Valsoia" brand, ice cream, oat and almond drinks, hazelnut spreads, mayonnaise, cooking cream in addition to the "Loriana" piadina and "Diete.Tic" sweetener brands. However, it was also a year of slowdown in consumption for some equally important lines, such as soy drinks, yogurt and fresh products as a whole, together with jams, whose slowdown was driven by the Company for the need to control the marginality of the line, in the face of a strong increase in the cost of raw materials.
Work continued improving distribution coverage and point-of-sale space by expanding the activities of the "sell-out specialists" network dedicated to the Company's Brands and active in over 40% of weighted distribution in Italy.
During 2025, support continued to be given to the Company's own Brands, with increased investments in communication and consumer marketing activities at major events such as concerts, trade fairs and national sporting events. These investments support the Company's Brands and reference markets.
On the cost side, the year 2025 was characterised by significant increases for some raw materials, in particular cocoa and fruit, which made it necessary to adjust the commercial policy on the most impacted lines.
The Company remains focused on controlling and containing production and service costs, with the aim of maintaining a balance between covering higher costs, volume stability and, therefore, shelf competitiveness related to strong brand equity.

The structural costs are higher than the previous year, although in line with the forecasts, in view of the preparation of structures and organisation relating to the imminent internalisation of the beverage, yoghurt and dessert lines in the new production lines of the Serravalle Sesia plant.
Compared to 2024, the significant overall investments in Consumer Marketing and Trade Marketing were confirmed, increasing in particular those for advertising and research, both in Italy and abroad.
In 2025, Valsoia S.p.A. recorded Sales Revenues of 116.78 million euros, substantially in line with the end of the previous year.
The second half of 2025 recorded a significant slowdown in consumption in Italy, for all "Large Packaged Consumption" markets; as a result, some of the Company's product lines were also affected.
In the dynamics of Sales Revenues, there was an increase in Export Revenues of $+12.5\%$ compared to the previous year, while Revenues in Italy recorded a decrease of $-1.2\%$ , as shown below:
| Description (EUR 000) | 2025 | 2024 | Change | ||

| Euro | % Inc. | Euro | % Inc. | % | |
| REVENUE Sales ITALY | 105,010 | 89.9 | 106,287 | 91.0 | -1.2% |
| REVENUE Sales ABROAD | 11,774 | 10.1 | 10,464 | 9.0 | +12.5% |
| TOTAL REVENUE | 116,784 | 100.0 | 116,751 | 100.0 | +0.02% |
In particular, the growth in sales abroad reflects a good performance in volumes of "Valsoia Bontà e Salute" drinks and ice creams together with the growth in the distribution of the "Loriana" piadina.
The gross operating margin in FY 2025 (EBITDA) thus amounted to EUR 14.04 million, slightly down (-1.6%) or 0.22 million compared with the previous year, recording an operating margin ratio (EBITDA Margin %) of 12.0% versus 12.2% in 2024.
Pre-tax profit amounted to EUR 11.4 million with a percentage on sales revenue of $9.8\%$ compared to 11.8 million $(10.1\%)$ for the year 2024.
The adjusted net financial position, as defined above, was a positive EUR 17.0 million as at December 31, 2025, whereas it was EUR 28.4 million as at December 31, 2024.
Net of the effect of the application of IFRS16, the adjusted NFP would amount to EUR 18.9 million as at December 31, 2025 (EUR 30.2 million as at December 31, 2024).
The result in terms of NFP-r is to be assessed in consideration of the extraordinary investments for the doubling of production spaces at the Serravalle Sesia plant, together with the purchases of new production lines (equal to over 10.7 million euros, during the 2025 financial year) in addition to the investment, equal to over 3 million euros, for the acquisition of $70\%$ of the Slovenian company Kele & Kele d.o.o., a leader in the kefir market.

The net profit amounted to EUR 8.0 million, with a percentage index that stood at 6.9% of revenues compared to 7.1% of the previous year.
The 2025 result, for EBITDA, is substantially in line with the very positive result of the previous year. However, it is a "derivative" of overall stable sales revenues, with increased costs, even strongly, for some product lines, in the face of price list increases not always applied with full satisfaction with respect to the objectives of cost coverage, extra industrial investments and support for brands.

The turnover of the "Health Food" Division is slightly down compared to the previous year, in particular due to the slowdown in sales in Italy, almost totally offset by the increase in sales abroad. Revenues of the "Traditional Food" Division, on the other hand, are growing during the year, with a strong positive contribution

VALSOIA
from the "Loriana" piadina and the "Diete.Tic" sweetener.
In Italy the revenues of the B2B Division (mainly industrial) are slightly down.
Foreign sales, as already stated, increased by +12.5% compared to the previous year, with a total net turnover of about EUR 11.8 million. This confirms the trend of previous years and the sound condition of our Brands even abroad.
As for Italy, in the face of the stability of retail prices at the levels of the two-year period 2023-2024, there is, in line with what was recorded by the trend in consumption, an increase in sales volumes for some "core" health lines (ice cream, almond and oat drinks, hazelnut spreads, cream, and mayonnaise) but also declines for the most commodity lines (soy drinks, yogurt, desserts and "meal solution").
The Company already has actions underway to correct the negatives both in terms of "category management" and product innovation and consumer marketing actions to support the already strong brand equity.
The Food Division, on the other hand, recorded significant increases with "Loriana" piadina and "Diete.Tic" sweeteners while, as already mentioned, "Santa Rosa" jams, following the sharp increase in fruit costs, were managed with a control of sales orders, which led to a slowdown in volumes sold especially in the third quarter of the year, to protect the contribution margins of the line. Also in this last case, the Company has agreed new sales price lists for the "Santa Rosa" jams, which will be applied from the first months of the year 2026 to cover the extra costs suffered since the summer of 2025.
As for the "Loriana" and "Diete.Tic" brands, their performance confirms the excellent state of health that continues to show constant growth since the year of their acquisition (2021 and 2018 respectively).
Within the "Valsoia Bontà e Salute" branded product portfolio, we highlight, in particular, the further good performance of the ice cream which, despite a summer season that was not optimal for the total ice cream market, was able to improve its sales volumes at "sell in" and at consumption, increasing its market share by volume up to 77.5% of the vegetable segment (+0.5 points compared to the previous year). A similar positive performance for hazelnut spread, which continues to grow in volumes sold and in consumption share, particularly significant considering the now consolidated presence of the vegetable version of the most iconic brand of hazelnut spread known and distributed worldwide. This case history is also a testament to the solid equity of the "Valsoia Bontà e Salute" brand.
Sales volumes of the distributed brand "Valle" fell, between margarine and bases (-7.9%). This result is similar to that of the "Santa Rosa" jams and therefore not dictated by a lower performance of the brand but by a commercial policy that, in the last part of the year, provided for a reduction in promotional activities in the face of a further strong increase in production costs.
Also, for the "Valle" margarine, a recovery is expected in the first part of 2026 thanks to a restoration of the previous promotional policies following new price lists agreed with the retailers. Also, for 2025, the brand's consumption share confirmed its absolute E undisputed leadership in the margarine market in Italy in the

"Modern Distribution" channel.
During the year, the Company implemented the activities envisaged by the Marketing and Industrial Plans together with the launch of new products in Italy and abroad, both for the Health Food Division and for the Traditional Food Division. Despite the difficult situation for the markets and for procurement costs, the Company has decided to invest more in advertising and research with a long-term vision for its brands.
In particular, the investments in "Valsoia" ice creams, the "Diete.Tic" and "Loriana" brands, capable of generating interesting positive reactions on the consumption volumes of the same brands, are strategic.
Also in the last financial year, two television and social media campaigns were planned for international markets with both drinks and vegetable ice cream for the "Valsoia" brand, but also the first appearances through product placement and influencers for the "Loriana" piadina.
The growth of sales in Italy in channels other than large-scale distribution also continued successfully: OOH (traditional shops, bars, catering, naval/air and vending) and E-commerce.
Finally, we note the demanding and strategic expansion of the Serravalle Sesia plant, in line with the budget and schedule, which will lead to a doubling of the useful production area by 2026. In the second half of 2026, the first in-house productions are expected with important benefits in terms of flexibility, research and development, time to market, quality control and, of course, net margins.
Investments
During the year 2025, investments were made in tangible and intangible fixed assets for over EUR 11 million. These investments mainly concerned building and technology investments related to the expansion of the Serravalle Sesia production site and, in particular, the works planned for the new plant extracts department. In addition, on 3 December 2025, the transaction aimed at purchasing 70% of the shares of the Slovenian company Kele&Kele, was finalised, with an outlay of EUR 2.8 million.
Sustainability project
The Company, while not required to prepare a sustainability statement pursuant to Legislative Decree No. 125 of September 6 2024, devotes particular attention to sustainable development issues in environmental, social and governance terms by preparing voluntarily an annual Sustainability Report.
This report, published after the Shareholders' Meeting for the approval of the 2025 Annual Financial Report, represents a voluntary non-financial document aimed at collaborators, shareholders and investors, suppliers and partners, Retailers and consumers who wish to learn more about the Company's operations.
In preparing this report, we made further progress in terms of compliance with Legislative Decree 125/2024 transposing EU Directive 2022/2464 (CSRD) into Italian law, drawing inspiration from the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS) of EU Regulation 2023/2772, both in the structuring of the Report

(*) measurement at fair value as at December 31 of the year of reference of the investment in Italian Government Bonds (BTP) (invested value of EUR 15.1 million, nominal value of EUR 14.9 million)
At December 31, 2025, the Company's adjusted net financial position was approximately EUR 17.0 million, down by EUR 11.4 million compared to the beginning of the year.
The adjusted Net Financial Position as at December 31, 2025 and at 31 December 2024 include EUR 1.5 million and EUR 1.8 million for leases concerning the representation of the mere accounting effects deriving from the application of IFRS 16, relating to existing lease agreements (rental of offices in Bologna and rental of warehouses in Serravalle) and operating leases (long-term rental of company cars).
In addition, the adjusted Net Financial Position as at 31 December 2025 includes financial payables for future cash outflows related to the purchase of 70% of the shares of the Slovenian company Kele&Kele d.o.o., for Euro 0.5 million.
Finally, the adjusted Net Financial Position as at 31 December 2025 records the investment in non-current financial assets at "fair value", which decreased during the 2025 reporting period following a partial sale of EUR 5 million. Net of this decrease, following the appreciation of the BTP price, there was also a consequent positive valuation compared to last year of approximately EUR 0.3 million.
As a result of the above, cash flow for the year was negative by Euro 11.6 million.
During the entire 2025 financial year, current operations continued the positive generation of cash with a primary operating cash flow of EUR 10.5 million, after registration of the movements in working capital.
Tax management resulted in a cash outflow of approximately EUR 3.5 million.
On the other hand, outflows for investment activities amounted to EUR 13.8 million, for the needs relating to Investments (tangible for EUR 10.7 million, intangible and financial, respectively, for approximately EUR 0.4 million and EUR 2.8 million, the latter linked to the acquisition of 70% of the shares of the Slovenian company

Kele & Kele d.o.o.)
The movements in the NFP-r related to financial management are negative for about EUR 4.8 million and are composed as follows: Euro -0.8 million in relation to leasing fees and rents actually paid during the year; Euro -0.3 million for the purchase of treasury shares, Euro +0.4 million in net interest collected. Finally, the shareholder remuneration policy continued in 2025, resulting in a cash outflow of EUR 4.1 million for dividends paid during the year.
MAIN RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES TO WHICH THE COMPANY IS EXPOSED
Risks of a financial nature and derivative instruments
Foreign Exchange Risk
The Company purchases raw materials for its production in the international market and carries out business transactions in Euros and, as regards purchases made from the United States of America, in US dollars. At the same time, the Company makes sales of finished products abroad (EEC and non-EEC) and settles the related business transactions mainly in euros, apart from sales in the United States of America which are settled in US dollars.
The exchange rate risk therefore derives from the net exposure in US dollars.
During the year, the Company did not implement currency forward purchase operations.
Credit Risk
The Company deals with customers who belong primarily to the large-scale organised retail sector, and which have historically shown an overall limited insolvency rate. Therefore, the Company monitors carefully the quality of its receivables in terms of risk control.
Interest Rate Risk
Given the capital and financial structure, and in consideration of the conditions under which the main outstanding loans were taken out (fixed rate), it is believed that the Company is not particularly exposed to the risk of changes in the interest rates. The investment made in long-term financial assets (BTP Italia) provides a fixed-rate coupon (floor) in addition to a revaluation based on the current inflation rate.
Cash and changes in Cash Flows risk
Considering the positive net financial position and the strong capacity to generate cash flows from operations, the risk from changes in the cash flows is estimated to be relatively low. Valsoia was also granted significant credit facilities by the banks, not used to date, which are more than adequate with respect to its current needs.
Operating risks
Risks related to the food/health sector
Although Valsoia guarantees effective quality control on its own production and on externally acquired products through the constant monitoring of raw materials, production processes and finished products, it
Valsoia S.p.A./Annual Financial Report as at December 31, 2025
TRANSLATION ONLY- NON-OFFICIAL VERSION
VALSOIA
cannot be excluded that, similarly to any other company operating in the food sector, an accidental contamination of the product by external agents, unpredicted in the formulation of the product, may occur. In particular, Valsoia has always chosen to use only raw materials that are not genetically modified. For this purpose, the Company requires certifications from all the suppliers of raw materials, as a proof of their GMO-free status. In addition, the Company requires CSQA certifications to confirm the absence of genetically modified organisms both in the raw materials used and in the finished products; however, Valsoia cannot exclude their accidental presence in marketed products.
In general, contamination of products by external agents, including genetically modified organisms above the tolerance threshold, would involve a recall of the products from the market, with related financial burdens, as well as the risk of penalties charged to the Company and to any responsible individual. It also cannot be excluded that, if the use of food produced by Valsoia causes harm to the health of the consumers, the Company may be subject to compensation claims or actions due to these events.
Risks related to safety at the workplace and environmental damages
Valsoia owns and manages a production facility located in Italy, Serravalle Sesia (VC) for the production of some of the main products of the Company. Valsoia believes that it operates in full compliance with the regulations concerning occupational safety and the protection of the environment. However, it cannot be excluded that, for accidental reasons, the operations at the facility may cause harm to the employees of the Company, to third parties or to the surrounding environment.
Risks related to operations carried out at the production facilities of third parties and providers of logistic services
In addition to the Serravalle Sesia production facility, the Company partners with third parties for the supply of some products.
The marketing of products in Italy is carried out through a network of distribution centres specialised in the distribution logistics of food products.
The production facility, the suppliers and the distribution centres are subject to ordinary operating risks, including, but not limited to: malfunctioning of the equipment, non-compliance with applicable regulations, revocation of permits and licenses, insufficient labour force or work disruptions, circumstances that may involve an increase in production or transport costs, natural disasters, significant disruptions in the supply of raw materials or semi-finished products, and terrorist attacks.
Any sudden and extended business disruption, due to the aforementioned events and other events, may have a negative impact on the financial results of the Company. The use of products and distributors involves also some additional risks and charges among which are the resolution of a contract and less control on the supply/production chain. Any delay or defect in the supplied products or services, as well as the disruption or termination of existing agreements without alternative solutions available in the short term, can have a negative impact on the activities and financial results of Valsoia.
Risks related to relationships with purchasing centres
Valsoia offers its products to large scale retail distribution and boasts several hundred customers. In Italy, within large scale retail distribution, it is normal practice that the execution of trade agreements with the suppliers is carried out for the most part by a limited number of purchasing centres involving a large portion of the Italian current distribution. Even if, despite the relative degree of independence of each single affiliate,
Valsoia S.p.A./Annual Financial Report as at December 31, 2025
TRANSLATION ONLY- NON-OFFICIAL VERSION
VALSOIA
the possibility of the direct contact of Valsoia with the individual customers cannot be excluded, each centre avails itself of a significant contractual power in defining terms and conditions, and a possible termination of relationships with one or more of these centres may have a strong negative impact on the financial results of the Company.
Therefore, Valsoia, given the recognition of its trademarks, the high reputation of the services associated with its products and the efficient distribution network, has maintained for many years strong business relationships with all the main Italian purchasing centres.
Risks related with the termination of distribution contracts
Currently, 9.5% of the Company's revenue derives from the distribution of third-party products (Weetabix, Oreo O's, Vallè and Haagen-Dazs). A termination of these relationships would have a negative impact on the financial results of the Company.
Environmental risks
Operational risks related to environmental legislation or accidents with environmental repercussions
This category of risk relates to sanctions or limitations of production activities as a result of statutory or regulatory non-compliance, or as of accidents due to natural or technical causes that may cause pollution or alteration of the main environmental matrices (fires, floods and breakdowns).
The Company pays great attention to the environmental impact of its production activities and the use of natural resources.
In particular, the Company conducts regular inspections and implements safety protocols that allow preventing risks from regulatory non-compliance or accidents with environmental consequences.
Risks associated with the availability of natural resources
This category of risks relates to the reduced availability of many natural resources, some of which are indispensable for the production of ice cream or for energy uses, considering that climate change and increased global consumption are triggering important changes in the availability of these resources.
The Company has made significant investments by reducing the amount of water required for the production process, as much as technically possible.
To date, the average water withdrawal of the Serravalle Sesia Facility is less than half of the benchmark of the sector.
The risk of unscheduled energy supply interruptions is mitigated through the ongoing monitoring of energy suppliers and the revolving maintenance and upgrading of facilities in accordance with technical energy standards.
Other general risks
Risks related to the competition
Given the fact that the Company operates in the consumer-packaged food products sector, currently characterised by increased dynamics without particularly high-entry barriers from a production perspective, an
Valsoia S.p.A./Annual Financial Report as at December 31, 2025
TRANSLATION ONLY- NON-OFFICIAL VERSION
VALSOIA
increase in competition by current and new competitors operating in related sectors cannot be excluded.
An additional increase in competition could have negative impacts on the profitability of the company; therefore, Valsoia, a company leader in the main market segments in which it operates, has been developing for years a careful marketing policy aimed at strengthening its brands, already widely recognised and established.
Risks associated with the volatility of prices and availability of raw materials, packaging and energy
The prices of raw materials used by the Company are subject to the volatility of the relevant markets. This situation concerns also the other costs for production, transport and distribution of the products that are, in many cases, directly affected by the fluctuations in the price of energy components.
In this scenario of uncertainty, there was recently a sharp increase in the prices of some specific raw materials used, which had a negative impact on the Company's margins but without any consequences on its financial and equity solidity.
Risks related to the conflict between Russia and Ukraine
The conflict between the Russian Federation and Ukraine, which started on February 21, 2022, is still ongoing. Economic sanctions on Russia (and in some cases Belarus) adopted as reaction in response by multiple states, including the EU, the UK, Switzerland, the US, Canada, Japan and Australia, are still in place.
From a commercial point of view, Valsoia did not have and does not have any ongoing direct relations with entities residing in the Russian and Ukrainian territories.
The Company closely monitors the development of the situation in Ukraine, and has implemented, since the outset, procedures aimed at monitoring the sanctioning measures published on the websites of the Official Journal of the European Union, the European Council, the Financial Intelligence Unit - FIU and the Financial Security Committee:
1- Prohibition of establishing commercial, financial or any other kind of relations with subjects residing in the Russian Federation and Ukraine;
2- Strengthening of company data backup policies, of the Disaster recovery procedure and of the cybersecurity system, in general.
At this time, the Directors do not believe that the conflict still currently underway may result in material impacts on the Company's business.
Risks related to US tariff policies
Starting in the first quarter of 2025, the US administration increased import duties on certain categories of goods and made repeated announcements of possible further tightening of the same, before concluding an agreement with the European Union on 27 July 2025. In view of the irrelevance of the US market to the Company's turnover, the Company Management does not currently expect any significant impact on the results. However, it should be noted that such circumstances could have an impact on the general trends of the economy.
Risks related to geopolitical uncertainties
Current international geopolitical tensions represent a source of potential volatility in energy and agricultural commodity prices and in market demand trends. In view of the fact that the Company operates mainly in the European market, with a limited share of exports outside the European Union, and is not dependent on suppliers
Valsoia S.p.A./Annual Financial Report as at December 31, 2025
TRANSLATION ONLY- NON-OFFICIAL VERSION
VALSOIA
of raw materials located in geographical areas affected by political instability, exposure to these risks is limited. The Company continuously monitors geopolitical dynamics and their potential impacts in order to contain risk exposure even in geopolitical escalation scenarios.
FORESEEABLE EVOLUTION OF OPERATIONS
In the period following the closing of the Annual Financial Report, for the months of January and February 2026, performance in revenues of sales similar to those at the end of 2025 for product lines and brands.
Sales of "Loriana" and "Diete.Tic" piadina and export sales are therefore still positive.
The management of Kele&Kele d.o.o., leader in the kefir market under the "Krepko" brand in Slovenia, also began, with closing reached in December 2025. In the coming months, the brand's strategic plan for its development in Slovenia and Europe, starting with the Italian market, will be shared and approved.
Television advertising resumed as scheduled in the marketing plans at the end of February, while some new products in both the health and traditional food lines were presented to the markets.
Like every year, the Company is currently involved in the closing of the 2026 contract renewals with large retail chains and is also focused on intense negotiations with suppliers of raw materials, packaging and services.
Finally, during the first two months of 2026, the sixth Sustainability Report (2025) of a voluntary nature was completed for the benefit of the Company's stakeholders.

VALSOIA
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Introduction
Valsoia S.p.A. (hereinafter "Valsoia" or the "Company") is a joint stock company established in Italy, registered with the Companies Register of Bologna, with fully paid-up share capital of EUR 3,574,890.56, with registered office in Italy, Bologna, Via Barontini 16/5, listed on the MTA of Borsa Italiana S.p.A.
These Financial Statements for the financial year that ended on 31 December 2025 have been drafted in compliance with CONSOB Regulation no. 11971 of 14 May 1999, as amended by CONSOB Resolution no. 14990 of 14 April 2005. These Financial Statements were prepared in compliance with the International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") and endorsed by the European Union, and they are in compliance with the provisions issued in implementation of Article 9 of Legislative Decree 9/2005, as in previous financial years. The term IFRS includes all the revised International Accounting Standards ("IAS") and all the interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee ("IFRIC"), formerly known as the Standing Interpretations Committee ("SIC").
Valsoia, at the closing date of the financial year, holds a controlling equity investment in Kele & Kele d.o.o. (SLO), Valsoia Pronova d.o.o. (SLO) and in the Swedish Green Food Co. AB (SE). These companies, together with Valsoia, make up the Valsoia Group (hereinafter also the "Group").
Following the acquisition of control of Kele & Kele d.o.o., which took place in December 2025, the Company prepares the consolidated financial statements of Valsoia Group, prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and approved by the European Union.
The consolidated financial statements provide an overall representation of the Group's equity, financial and economic situation and must be read in conjunction with these financial statements.
The Financial Statements include:
-
the statement of financial position on December 31, 2025, compared with the results of December 31, 2024. The statement of financial position provides a classification based on the current, or non-current, nature of the items comprising it, and in particular:
-
current assets are represented by cash or cash equivalents, by assets that are expected to be realised, sold or consumed during the ordinary operations of the company and by assets that are expected to be realised within twelve months from the reporting date. All other assets are classified as non-current;
-
current liabilities are the liabilities that will be presumably extinguished during the ordinary operations of the company or within 12 months from the reporting date, or the liabilities that do not have an unconditional right to the deferral of their extinction beyond twelve months. All other liabilities are classified as non-current. Pursuant to CONSOB Resolution no. 15519 of July 27, 2006, the financial

effects of the transactions with related parties, if significant, are recognised separately in the statement of financial position;
-
The income statement for FY 2025, compared with the income statement of the previous year. In particular, it must be noted that the adopted income statement, compliant with the IAS 1 provisions, shows the following interim results, not defined as an accounting measurement according to the IFRSs (the definition criteria of which may, therefore, not be consistent with those adopted by other companies), since the Company's Directors believe that it contains significant information for understanding the Company's results:
-
Gross Operating Profit (Loss): this consists of the Net profit (loss) for the year, before taxes, gains and losses arising from financial operations (including foreign exchange income and expenses), the effects of the valuation of investments in subsidiaries according to the equity method, amortisation, depreciation and write-down of fixed assets and right-of-use assets during the reference period.
- Net operating result (EBIT): this consists of the Net profit (loss) for the year, before taxes, gains and losses arising from financial operations (including foreign exchange income and expenses) and the effects of the valuation of investments in subsidiaries according to the equity method.
Furthermore, pursuant to CONSOB Resolution no. 15519 of July 27, 2006, we note that the effects of the transactions with related parties and of the significant non-recurring events and transactions and/or atypical/unusual income transactions are shown separately in the income statement, if significant;
-
The comprehensive income statement for FY 2025, compared with the comprehensive income statement of the previous year. This statement includes the profit/(loss) for the year as well as expenses and income recognised directly in equity for transactions other than those with shareholders;
-
The statement of cash flows for FY 2025, compared with the statement of cash flows of the same period of last year. In preparing the statement of cash flows, the indirect method – by which the profit or loss of the period is adjusted based on the effects of non-monetary operations, by any deferral or allocation of previous or future operating income or payments and by items of costs and revenues related to the financial flows arising from investment or financial activities – was adopted;
-
The statement of changes in equity for years 2025 and 2024.
-
The Explanatory Notes. The Tables in the Explanatory Notes indicate, for the purpose of a better comparison of the Financial Statement data, the comparison between the data as at 31 December 2025 and data as at 31 December 2024.
The Financial Statements related to the period ended on 31 December 2025, were prepared in Euro, the functional currency of the Company. All the figures shown in the notes are expressed in EUR thousand, unless otherwise indicated. The financial statements are audited by Deloitte & Touche S.p.A. on the basis of the appointment made by the Shareholders' Meeting of April 24, 2024 for the period 2024-2032. The Directors authorised the publication of these financial Statements on March 09, 2026. The Shareholders' Meeting called

to approve the Financial Statements has the right to request amendments to the financial statements.
IFRS Accounting Standards, Amendments and Interpretations applied from January 1, 2025
The accounting standards, amendments and interpretations of IFRS Accounting Standards were applied for the first time by the Company from January 1, 2025:
- On August 15, 2023, the IASB published an amendment called "Amendments to IAS 21 The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates: Lack of Exchangeability". The document requires an entity to identify a consistent methodology for verifying whether one currency can be converted into another and, when this is not possible, how to determine the exchange rate to be used and the disclosure to be made in the notes to the financial statements. The adoption of this amendment had no impact on the Company's financial statements.
Accounting standards, amendments and interpretations of IFRS Accounting Standards ratified by the European Union, not yet mandatorily applicable and not adopted early by the Company on December 31, 2025
As of the date of this document, the competent bodies of the European Union have completed the endorsement process necessary for the adoption of the amendments and standards described below, but these standards are not yet mandatorily applicable and have not been adopted early by the Company on December 31, 2025:
-
on May 30, 2024, the IASB published the document "Amendments to the Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments—Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7". The document clarifies a few problematic issues that emerged from the post-implementation review of IFRS 9, including the accounting treatment of financial assets whose returns vary when ESG objectives are met (i.e. green bonds). In particular, the changes aim to:
-
clarify the classification of financial assets with variable returns and linked to environmental, social and corporate governance (ESG) objectives and the criteria to be used for the SPPI test;
- determine that the date of settlement of liabilities through electronic payment systems is the date on which the liability is extinguished. However, an entity is permitted to adopt an accounting policy to allow a financial liability to be derecognised before delivering cash on the settlement date under certain specified conditions.
With these changes, the IASB also introduced additional disclosure requirements regarding investments in equity instruments designated as FVOCI.
The changes apply starting from the financial periods beginning on January 1, 2026. The Directors do not

VALSOIA
expect a significant effect on the Company's financial statements from the adoption of this amendment;
-
on July 18, 2024, the IASB published a document called "Annual Improvements Volume 11". The document includes clarifications, simplifications, corrections and changes to improve the consistency of several IFRS Accounting Standards. The amended Standards are:
-
IFRS 1 First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards;
- IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures and related guidelines on the implementation of IFRS 7;
- IFRS 9 Financial Instruments;
- IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements; and
- IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows.
The changes shall apply starting from January 1, 2026. Early application is permitted. The Directors do not expect a significant effect on the Company's financial statements from the adoption of these amendments.
-
on December 18, 2024, the IASB published an amendment called "Contracts Referencing Nature-dependent Electricity – Amendment to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7". The document aims to support entities in reporting the financial effects of renewable electricity purchase agreements (often structured as Power Purchase Agreements). On the basis of these agreements, the amount of electricity generated and purchased can vary depending on uncontrollable factors such as weather conditions. The IASB made amendments targeting IFRS 9 and IFRS 7. The amendments include:
-
a clarification regarding the application of the own use requirements to this type of agreements;
- the criteria for allowing such agreements to be accounted for as hedging instruments;
- the new disclosure requirements to enable users of financial statements to understand the effect of these agreements on an entity's financial performance and cash flows.
The change shall apply starting from January 1, 2026. Early application is permitted. The Directors do not expect a significant effect on the Company's financial statements from the adoption of this amendment;

Accounting standards, amendments and interpretations of IFRS Accounting Standards not yet approved by the European Union
As of the date of this document, the competent bodies of the European Union have not yet completed the endorsement process necessary for the adoption of the amendments and standards described below:
-
on April 9, 2024, the IASB published a new standard IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements that will replace IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements. The new standard aims to improve the presentation of the financial statements, with specific reference to the income statement. In particular, the new standard requires:
-
the classification of revenues and expenses into three new categories (operating section, investment section and financial section), in addition to the tax and discontinued operations categories already present in the income statement;
- the presentation of two new sub-totals, the operating result and the result before interest and taxes (i.e. EBIT).
The new standard also:
- requires more information on the performance indicators defined by management;
- introduces new criteria for the aggregation and disaggregation of information; and,
- introduces a number of changes to the format of the statement of cash flows, including the requirement to use the operating result as the starting point for the presentation of the statement of cash flows prepared under the indirect method and the elimination of certain classification options for some items that currently exist (such as interest paid, interest received, dividends paid and dividends received).
The new standard shall apply starting from January 1, 2027. Early application is permitted. The Directors are currently assessing the possible effects of the introduction of this new standard on the Company's financial statements.
-
On 9 May 2024, the IASB published a new IFRS 19 Subsidiaries without Public Accountability: Disclosures (together with the Amendments to IFRS 19 Subsidiaries without Public Accountability: Disclosures published on 21 August 2025). The new standard introduces some simplifications with reference to the disclosures required by IFRS Accounting Standards in the financial statements of a subsidiary, which meets the following requirements:
-
it has not issued equity or debt instruments listed on a regulated market and is not in the process of issuing them;
Valsoia S.p.A./Annual Financial Report as at December 31, 2025

VALSOIA
- its parent company prepares consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS standards.
The new standard shall apply starting from January 1, 2027. Early application is permitted. This standard will not be applicable by the Company.
-
On 13 November 2025, the IASB published a document entitled “Translation to a Hyperinflationary Presentation Currency – Amendment to IAS 21” which clarifies the conversion procedures for an entity whose presentation currency is that of a hyperinflationary economy. The entity applies the amendments if:
-
its functional currency is that of a non-hyperinflationary economy and it is converting its economic results and its statement of financial position into the currency of a hyperinflationary economy; or,
- it is converting the economic results and the statement of financial position of a foreign operation whose functional currency is that of a non-hyperinflationary economy into the currency of a hyperinflationary economy.
The changes will apply starting from the financial periods beginning on January 1, 2027. The Directors do not expect an effect on the Company's financial statements from the adoption of this amendment;
CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING STANDARDS AND MEASUREMENT CRITERIA
This Annual Financial Report has been prepared using the same accounting standards as those applied by the Company for the preparation of its financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024, apart from what was previously mentioned in the paragraph "IFRS Accounting Standards, Amendments and Interpretations applied from January 1, 2025".
FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
Please see the Annual Financial Report - Directors' Report.
MEASUREMENT CRITERIA AND ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
These Financial Statements have been drawn up in compliance with the International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") issued by the Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") and endorsed by the European Union. For this purpose, "IFRS" includes also the International Accounting Standards (IAS) currently in effect, as well as all interpretation documents issued by the FRS Interpretations Committee ("IFRIC"), known formerly as the Standing Interpretations Committee ("SIC").

VALSOIA
MEASUREMENT CRITERIA
These annual financial statements have been prepared based on the historical cost principle, except for any fair value measurement of certain assets and the measurement of investments in subsidiaries using the equity method, as specifically indicated in the notes, and on a going concern basis. Indeed, Directors gave careful consideration as to the assumption of the business being a going concern when preparing these annual financial statements and concluded that there could be no doubt on the matter.
The main accounting standards adopted are explained hereto.
Goodwill
This item refers to the goodwill recorded at the time of acquisitions and/or mergers by incorporation, such as the goodwill related to the "Santa Rosa", "Diete.Tic" and "Loriana" Cash-Generating Units (hereinafter the "CGUs"), already recorded in the previous Financial Statements, and respectively generated as a result of:
- the merger by incorporation of J&T Italia S.r.l., which took place during 2012;
- From the acquisition of the "Diete.Tic" Business Unit in 2017, recording in Assets, under Goodwill, an item referring to the positive variance between the value of the business unit acquired and the fair value of the individual assets that comprised it at the time of acquisition;
- the acquisition of the "Loriana" business unit during the 2020 financial year, by entering under Assets, in Goodwill, an item referring to the positive difference between the value of the business unit acquired and the fair value of the individual assets comprising it at the time of acquisition.
After initial booking, goodwill is reduced for impairment, calculated using the procedures described below ("impairment test"). In particular, goodwill is subject to recoverability analysis every year, or a more frequently if events or circumstances suggest that impairment may apply. More generally, as at the acquisition date, goodwill is allocated to each of the CGUs expected to benefit from the synergies deriving from the acquisition. Any impairment is identified through valuations based on the ability of each unit to generate cash flows that will ensure recovery of the portion of goodwill allocated to it. If the recoverable amount of the CGU is lower than the carrying amount attributed, the related impairment loss is recognised. This impairment is not reversed if the reasons that caused it no longer to exist.
At the time of the disposal of part or all the business previously acquired, if that acquisition had generated goodwill, account is taken of the residual value of the goodwill when determining any capital gains or losses on disposal.
Goodwill is not amortised; for more details on the impairment tests made, please refer to the paragraph below entitled "Impairment testing".
Intangible assets
Intangible assets consist of non-monetary elements able to generate future economic benefits, which are identifiable but have no physical consistency.
These items are recognised at their acquisition and/or production cost, including expenses directly attributable
Valsoia S.p.A./Annual Financial Report as at December 31, 2025

VALSOIA
to rendering the asset available for use, net of any impairment, except if they have been acquired as part of an acquisition process, which provides for their evaluation at fair value.
The useful life of the intangible assets is considered as either definite or indefinite.
The intangible assets with a definite life are amortised based on their useful life and subject to impairment testing whenever there are indications that impairment may have taken place. The period and method of amortisation applied to them are re-examined at the end of each financial year or more frequently if necessary. The changes in the useful life and procedures according to which future economic benefits connected to the intangible assets are gained by the Company are recognised by modifying the period or the method of the amortisation and handled as amendments to the accounting estimates. The portion of the amortisation of the intangible assets with a definite useful life is recognised in the income statement under the cost category that is appropriate for the function of the intangible asset.
The intangible assets with an indefinite useful life are tested for impairment every year at the CGU level. No amortisation has been recognised for such assets. The useful life of an intangible asset with an indefinite life is re-examined annually to ascertain that the conditions continue to exist for this classification.
Trademarks
These are recognised at their acquisition cost or, if they have been acquired as part of a company acquisition, based on their estimated fair value pursuant to the IFRS.
The Directors have decided, pursuant to the recommendations of the IFRS (and IAS 38 in particular), to consider the "Santa Rosa" trademark as having an indefinite life. Therefore, the "Santa Rosa" trademark is not amortised based on the following reasons, among others:
- it has a priority role in the Valsoia strategy;
- the trademark is owned and appropriately registered and constantly protected, pursuant to the law, with options for the renewal of the legal protection at the expiry of the registration periods, with limited costs incurred;
- the products marketed by the Company under this trademark are not subject to technological obsolescence, as is also typical of the food sector in which the Company operates;
- the sector of reference of the "Santa Rosa" trademark shows characteristics of stability with a limited impact from product innovation or changes in the market demand;
- the level of trade investments needed to obtain the financial benefits expected from this business sector is sustainable for the Company and falls within the scope of the corporate strategies.
As provided for in the reference accounting standards, the congruence of the value of the "Santa Rosa" trademark recognised in the Financial Statements is verified, at least annually, through an impairment test based on the criteria described in the following paragraph "Impairment Testing".
The "Diete.Tic" and "Loriana" brands, not having the same characteristics as the "Santa Rosa" brand in terms of its history, awareness and degree of maturity of the reference market, have not been evaluated by the Directors with an indefinite useful life and are therefore subject to amortisation on the basis of an estimated life of 15 years.

Industrial patents and intellectual property rights
The licenses acquired which are relative to software are capitalised based on the costs incurred for their purchase and to render them available for use. Amortisation is calculated using the straight line method across their useful life, which is estimated at 5 years. The costs associated with the development of software programs are recognised as a cost when they are incurred.
Intangible assets generated internally – development costs
The intangible assets which are generated internally, resulting from the development of products by the Company, are recognised under assets only if the following terms and conditions are fulfilled:
- the asset is identifiable;
- it is probable that the asset will generate future economic benefits;
- the development costs of the assets can be measured reliably.
These intangible assets are eventually amortised using the straight line method across their relative useful lives. When the internally generated assets do not possess the above mentioned requirements, the development costs are allocated to the income statement in the year in which they are incurred.
Research costs are entered in the income statement in the period in which they are incurred.
Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are recognised at their historical cost, net of accumulated depreciation and any write-downs for impairment. Furthermore, the cost includes every expense which is directly incurred to render the asset available for use. Any interest expenses payable relative to the construction of property, plant and equipment are capitalised and depreciated throughout the life of the class of assets which they are stated under, as required by IAS 23.
For certain property, plant and equipment, during transition to IFRSs, the Company has decided to adopt, rather than the original cost on the date the asset was purchased, the revalued amount in application of specific revaluation laws, since on the date the revaluations were applied, the new value of the assets approximated their market value. The costs incurred for maintenance and repairs of an ordinary nature are directly allocated to the income statement of the financial year in which they were incurred.
The capitalisation of the costs inherent in the expansion, updating or improvement of the structural elements which are owned or belong to third parties, is carried out only if they fulfil the requirements for a separate classification as assets or parts of an asset. The carrying amount is amended by the systematic depreciation, which is calculated based on the estimated useful life.
Depreciation is determined, at constant rates, by the cost of the asset and net of residual values that are relative, when these can be reasonably estimated, depending on their estimated useful life applying the following rates (major categories):
Valsoia S.p.A./Annual Financial Report as at December 31, 2025

VALSOIA
| Category | Rate |
|---|---|
| Industrial buildings | 4% |
| Buildings for civil use | 3% |
| Temporary constructions | 10% |
| Plant and machinery | 7.5% - 8% - 10% -14% - 15% |
| Industrial equipment | 20% |
| Electronic equipment | 20% |
| Furniture and equipment for the offices | 12% |
| Vehicles | 25% |
| Land is not depreciated. |
If the asset being depreciated is composed of elements which are distinctly identifiable, the useful life of which differs significantly from that of the other parts that compose the asset, the depreciation is carried out separately for each of the parts that compose it in application of the component approach, if the effect is deemed as significant.
The depreciation period begins from the time that the asset is available for use and ends on the date on which the asset is classified as held for sale, pursuant to IFRS 5 or the date on which the asset is eliminated from the accounts, whichever is earlier. Any changes in the depreciation schedule are applied prospectively.
Gains and losses deriving from the sale or disposal of assets are determined as the difference between the sales revenue and the net carrying amount of the assets, and are charged to the income statement.
Rights of Use
Assets which are the object of a lease are recognised through the registration of a "right of use" under assets and a financial liability represented by the present value of the lease payments due in the statement of financial position. The "right of use" is amortised on a straight-line basis over the lease term of the agreement, or its economic-technical useful life, whichever is shorter.
On the effective date of the lease, defined as the date on which the lessor makes the underlying asset available to the lessee, the value recorded of the "right of use" includes the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability, lease payments made on or before the effective date, and any other initial direct costs.
If the lease transfers ownership of the underlying asset to the lessee at the end of the lease term or if the cost of the asset consisting of the right-of-use reflects the fact that the lessee will exercise the option to purchase, the lessee shall depreciate the asset consisting of the right-of-use from the effective date until the end of the useful life of the underlying asset.
On the effective date of the lease, the company recognises other financial liabilities by measuring them at the present value of the lease payments due but not yet paid at that date. Payments due include fixed payments (including fixed payments in substance) net of any incentives to be received, variable lease payments that depend on an index or rate, and amounts expected to be payable as residual value guarantees. Lease payments
Valsoia S.p.A./Annual Financial Report as at December 31, 2025
TRANSLATION ONLY- NON-OFFICIAL VERSION
VALSOIA
also include the exercise price of a purchase option if it is reasonably certain that such option will be exercised by the Company and lease termination penalty payments if the lease term takes into account the Company's exercise of its lease termination option.
Variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or rate are recognised as an expense in the period (unless incurred in the production of inventories) in which the event or condition that generated the payment occurs.
In calculating the present value of payments due, the Company uses the marginal borrowing rate at the commencement date if the implied interest rate cannot be readily determined. After the effective date, the amount of the lease liability increases to reflect interest on the lease liability and decreases to reflect payments made. Moreover, the book value of lease payables is restated in the event of any changes to the lease or for the revision of contractual terms for the modification of payments; it is also restated in the event of changes to the valuation of the option to purchase the underlying asset or for changes in future payments resulting from a change in the index or rate used to determine such payments.
The Company applies the exemption for the recognition of short-term leases (i.e., leases that have a term of 12 months or less from the commencement date and do not offer an option to purchase). The Company also applied the exemption for leases related to low-value assets with respect to leases related to equipment whose value is considered low. Fees related to short-term leases and leases of low-value assets are recognised as expenses on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Financial fixed assets
Financial fixed assets consist of equity investments held in subsidiaries. In these financial statements, these investments are valued according to the equity method, in accordance with IAS 28 – Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures, as permitted by IAS 27 – Separate Financial Statements.
The book value reflects the share of the investee's equity, determined based on the latest available financial statements, adjusted to take account of the differences arising from the application of the International Accounting Standards and any other elements relevant for the purposes of a true and fair representation.
The carrying amount of the equity investments also incorporates the effects deriving from the allocation of the purchase price recognised in the Group's consolidated financial statements, including the fair value differences attributed to the identifiable assets and liabilities.
Impairment test
At least each year, at the reporting date, the Company reviews the carrying amount of goodwill and of the intangible fixed assets with an indefinite useful life to determine whether there are indications that these assets have become impaired. Should this be the case, their recoverable amount is estimated in order to calculate the potential amount of the write-down. When it is not possible to estimate the recoverable value of the assets individually, the Company makes an estimate of the recoverable value of the cash generating unit which the
Valsoia S.p.A./Annual Financial Report as at December 31, 2025
TRANSLATION ONLY- NON-OFFICIAL VERSION
VALSOIA
asset belongs to.
The recoverable amount is the greater between the fair value net of selling costs and the value in use. In determining the value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted at their current value using a rate gross of taxes which reflects the current valuations of the market regarding the value of money and the specific risks inherent in the asset.
If the recoverable amount of an asset (or of a cash generating unit) is considered to be lower than the relative carrying amount, it is reduced to the lower recoverable value. Impairment is recognised directly in the income statement.
When there is no longer any reason for a write-down to be maintained, the carrying amount of the asset (or of the cash generating unit), with the exception of goodwill, is restated at the new value deriving from the estimate of its recoverable value; however, this new value cannot exceed the net carrying amount which the asset would have had if the write-down for impairment had not been made. The write-back of the value is charged to the income statement directly.
Inventories
Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value.
Costs include direct materials and, where applicable, direct labour, the general production expenses and other costs incurred to bring the inventories to their current location and status.
The cost is calculated using the average weighted cost method for inventories of raw materials, ancillary materials and goods.
The finished products originating from the Serravalle Sesia facility are measured using the industrial production cost method which, essentially, is similar to the average weighted cost method.
Net realisable value represents the estimated selling price less the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.
Financial assets
Financial assets, as required by IFRS 9 - "Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement", are classified, based on the way they are managed by the Company and the relative characteristics of the contractual cash flows, into the following categories:
-
Amortised Cost: financial assets held exclusively for the purpose of collecting contractual cash flows are classified in the Amortised Cost category; they are measured using the amortised cost method, with income recognised in the income statement using the effective interest rate method;
-
Fair value through other comprehensive income ("FVOCI"): financial assets whose contractual cash flows are represented solely by the payment of principal and interest, and which are held for the purpose of collecting contractual cash flows as well as flows from the sale of the same are classified as FVOCI. They are measured at fair value. Interest income, foreign exchange gains/(losses), and impairment losses (and related write-backs) on financial assets classified in the FVOCI category are recognised in the income statement; other changes in the fair value of assets are recognised in other
Valsoia S.p.A./Annual Financial Report as at December 31, 2025
TRANSLATION ONLY- NON-OFFICIAL VERSION
VALSOIA
OCI components. When such financial assets are sold or reclassified to other categories due to a change in business model, the cumulative gains or losses recognised in OCI are reclassified in the income statement;
- Fair value through profit or loss ("FVTPL"): the FVTPL category is residual in nature, including those financial assets that do not fall into the Amortised Cost and FVOCI categories, such as financial assets acquired for trading purposes or derivatives, or assets designated at FVTPL by Management at the date of initial recognition. They are measured at fair value. Gains or losses resulting from this measurement are recognised in the income statement;
The fair value of financial assets is determined based on quoted bid prices or through the use of financial models. Measurements are regularly conducted to determine whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or group of assets may be impaired. If there is objective evidence, the impairment loss is recognised as an expense in the income statement.
Cash and cash equivalents
The item relative to the cash and cash equivalents includes the cash, current bank accounts, demand deposits and other current financial investments with high liquidity which are easily convertible into cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of fluctuation in their value.
Provisions
Allocations for provisions are recognised in the Financial Statements when the Company has to meet a current obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event for which it is possible to make a reliable estimate of its amount if an exit of resources is probable in order to meet the obligation. Provisions are made on the basis of the best estimate, calculated by the Directors, of the costs required to fulfil the obligation at the reporting date, and they are discounted, when the effect is significant.
The changes in the estimate are reflected in the income statement of the year in which the change took place.
Employee benefits
Post-employment benefit plans
Payments for defined contribution plans are allocated to the income statement in the year in which they are due; from 2007, payments into the Provisions for post-employment benefits (TFR) fall under this category, following the amendments made to the TFR by the Financial Law. For defined benefit plans, the costs relative to the benefits provided is determined by using the "projected unit credit method", making the actuarial valuations at the end of each year. The actuarial gains and losses are recognised in the income statement in the year in which they take place. All the costs relative to an increase in the current value of the obligation for defined benefit plans, as the time the benefits have to be paid draws nearer, and on the other hand expenses which fall under the allocation for the pension plan funds are recognised in the income statement under labour costs. Allocations made up to December 31, 2006 for post-employment benefits are classified under defined benefit plans.

VALSOIA
Remuneration plans in the form of stock options
In line with the indications of IFRS 2, the Company classifies stock options under "share-based payments" and provides, for the type that falls under the "equity settled" category with physical delivery of the shares, the determination on the assignment date of the fair value estimate of the option rights issued and recognition as personnel cost to be distributed on a linear basis throughout the vesting period, offset by an appropriate equity reserve. This allocation is made on the basis of the estimated amounts that will accrue to the personnel that are entitled, considering that conditions for the use thereof are not based on the market value of these rights. Determination of the fair value is made using the "binomial" model.
Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are measured using the amortised cost method, recognising expenses in the income statement using the effective interest rate method, except for financial liabilities acquired for trading purposes or derivatives or those designated at FVTPL by Management at the date of initial recognition, which are measured at fair value through profit or loss.
Share capital
The share capital consists of the capital subscribed and paid up by the Company's Shareholders. The costs which are strictly connected to the issuing of new shares reduce the share capital, net of any deferred tax effect. In the case of the purchase of treasury shares, the price paid, including any directly attributable ancillary charges, is deducted from shareholders' equity until the time of cancellation, reissue or sale of the shares. When such treasury shares are resold or reissued, the price collected, net of any directly attributable ancillary charges and the related tax effect, is recorded as an increase in shareholders' equity.
Recognition of revenues from contracts with customers
The recognition of revenues from contracts with customers is based on the following five steps: (i) identification of the contract with the customer; (ii) identification of the performance obligations, represented by the contractual promises to transfer goods and/or services to a customer; (iii) determination of the transaction price; (iv) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations identified on the basis of the stand-alone selling price of each good or service; (v) recognition of the revenue when the relevant performance obligation is satisfied, i.e. when the promised good or service is transferred to the customer; the transfer is considered completed when the customer obtains control of the good or service.
The revenue of the Company is represented primarily by the sales of mass consumption food products, and secondarily by sales of semi-finished products intended for the food industry.
The revenue is shown net of rewards and commercial discounts and, if existing, all expenses related to activities performed by the customers under the trade and sale policies agreed upon with the Company (contribution for promotional activities, loyalty cards, listing fees, discount coupons, etc.), are deducted.
In particular, the company grants trade discounts and rebates for achieving certain targets to its customers

VALSOIA
according to existing contractual agreements. The processes and methods for evaluating and determining the estimated portion of discounts to be paid after the end of the financial year are based on the conditions agreed upon with customers and on internally produced accounting and management data.
Foreign currency transactions
The transactions in foreign currencies are converted into EUR at the exchange rate applicable on the transaction date. At the end of the year, the financial assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are aligned with the exchange rates applicable at the end of the year. Foreign exchange differences arising from the adjustment of monetary items and their restatement at year-end foreign exchange rates are allocated to the income statement for the year.
Taxes
Taxes for the year represent the amounts of the current and deferred taxes, net of revenues deriving from any tax benefits with retroactive effect.
Current taxes are based on the taxable income for the year. Taxable income differs from the result recorded in the Income Statement, as it excludes positive and negative components which will be taxable or deductible in other years, and items which will never be taxable or deductible. Liabilities for current taxes are calculated using the rates applicable at the reporting date.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are those taxes which are expected to be paid or recovered on temporary variances between the carrying amount of the assets and liabilities in the Financial Statements and the corresponding tax value used in calculating the taxable amount. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all temporary taxable differences, while the deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is considered probable that there will be taxable results in the future that will absorb the temporary deductible differences. The book value of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each Balance Sheet date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that there will be sufficient taxable income such as to allow all or part of the recovery of the aforementioned assets.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated based on the tax rate that is expected to be applicable at the time that the realisation of the assets or the repayment of the liabilities are expected to take place. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are allocated directly to profit or loss, except for those which are relative to items directly related to equity, in which case the relative deferred taxes are also allocated to equity.
Current and deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when income taxes are applied to the same tax authority and when a legal right to compensation exists.
Earnings per share
The basic earnings per share are calculated dividing the Company's net profit for the year by the number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year.
The diluted earnings per share are calculated adjusting the weighted average of the number of ordinary shares outstanding, assuming the conversion into ordinary shares of all potential shares with a dilutive effect.

VALSOIA
Dividends
These are recognised when Shareholders become entitled to receive payment. This normally corresponds to the shareholders' meeting resolution to distribute dividends. The distribution of dividends is therefore recorded as a liability in the financial statements when it is approved by the Shareholders' meeting.
Segment Information
According to IFRS8 - Operating segments, an operating segment is a component of an entity: a) which undertakes business activities that generate revenues and costs (including revenues and costs involving operations with other parts of the same entity); b) whose operating results are reviewed periodically at the highest operating decision-making level in order to adopt the decisions regarding the resources to be allocated to the segment and the assessment of the results; c) for which separate financial statement information is available.
The Company did not identify any operating sectors characterised by an autonomous nature of products/services and production processes having the aforementioned characteristics; for this reason, no sector information is provided.
Hierarchical fair value assessment levels
The fair value of financial instruments traded on an active market is based on listed market prices at the reporting date. The fair value of instruments that are not traded on an active market is determined by using measurement techniques with a variety of methods and assumptions that are based on market conditions at the reporting date.
The classification of the fair value of financial instruments is based on the following hierarchy:
- Level 1: fair value determined with regard to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical financial instruments;
- Level 2: fair value determined using valuation techniques, based on inputs that are observable in active markets;
- Level 3: fair value determined using valuation techniques, based on market inputs that are not observable.
Non-current financial assets at fair value are classified in level 1.
Liabilities related to bank debt are measured according to the amortised cost method. Trade receivables and payables were measured at amortised cost.

Use of estimates
The preparation of the Financial Statements requires the Directors to apply accounting standards and methodologies that, under certain circumstances, consist of evaluations and estimates based on historical experience and assumptions that are considered reasonable and realistic from time to time in relation to the
Valsoia S.p.A./Annual Financial Report as at December 31, 2025
TRANSLATION ONLY- NON-OFFICIAL VERSION
VALSOIA
relative circumstances. Application of these estimates and assumptions influences the amounts shown in the financial statements, such as the statement of financial position, income statement and statement of cash flows, as well as the notes. The final results of the Financial Statement items for which the aforementioned estimates and assumptions were used, may differ from those shown in the Financial Statements due to the uncertainty that characterises the assumptions and the conditions on which the estimates are based. Following, we describe briefly the accounting standards which require, more than others, a greater degree of the subjectivity on behalf of the Directors insofar as the estimates they make and for which a change in the conditions underlying the assumptions could have a significant impact on the Company's Financial Statements.
Goodwill and trademarks with an indefinite useful life – Estimate of the degree of recoverability
The Company presents in its Financial Statements amounts which are recognised as goodwill and trademarks with an indefinite useful life. These amounts are not amortised, and they are tested for impairment, at least annually, in line with the indications set forth under IAS 36, based on the cash flow forecasts for the upcoming financial periods, reflected in the Business Plans prepared for each individual CGU.
On March 09, 2026, the Board of Directors approved the 2026-2030 Business Plans of the "Santa Rosa", "Diete.Tic" and "Loriana" CGUs. An impairment test was carried out, approved by the BoD on March 09, 2026, in reference to the accounting values recognised at the date of the Financial Statements in order to identify any loss for reductions in the value of the "Santa Rosa", "Diete.Tic" and "Loriana" CGUs versus their recoverable value. This recoverable value is based on the use value which is determined through the method of discounted cash flows resulting from the abovementioned Business Plans.
Conducting impairment tests requires significant judgement skill, especially in formulating estimates such as:
- the expected financial flows for the measurement of which it is necessary to keep into account their general financial and sector performance, as well as the cash flows generated by the CGU that was subject to analysis in the previous years;
- the financial parameters to be used for the afore-mentioned discounted cash flows.
Moreover, the Business Plans that are the basis for estimating expected cash flows are characterised by uncertainties inherent in any forecasting activity.
In the event that future company and market scenarios are different than those that were assumed when the aforementioned forecasts were compiled, the value of the goodwill and the trademarks could be subsequently subject to write-downs.
Recoverable value of non-current assets
Non-current assets include property, plant, equipment and other assets, equity investments and other non-current assets. The Company periodically reviews the book value of the non-current assets held and used and of the assets that must be disposed of, when facts and circumstances require such a review. The analysis of the recoverability of the book value of non-current assets is generally carried out using estimates of expected cash flows from the use or sale of the asset and appropriate discount rates for calculating the current value. When the book value of a non-current asset has suffered a loss in value, the Company recognises a write-down equal to the excess between the book value of the asset and its recoverable value through its use or sale, determined with reference the cash flows inherent in the most recent business plans.
The estimates and assumptions used in this analysis reflect the Company's state of knowledge of business
Valsoia S.p.A./Annual Financial Report as at December 31, 2025

VALSOIA
developments and consider forecasts believed to be reasonable about future market and industry developments. It cannot be ruled out that different developments in the markets and sectors in which the Company operates could lead to values that differ from the original estimates and, where necessary, to adjustments in the book value of certain non-current assets.
Depreciation
The cost of intangible assets with a definite useful life and property, plant and equipment is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. The economic useful life of the Company's fixed assets is determined by the Directors at the time the fixed asset is acquired; it is based on historical experience for similar fixed assets, market conditions and anticipations regarding future events that could impact the useful life, including changes in technology. Therefore, the actual economic life may differ from the estimated useful life. The Company periodically evaluates technological and industry changes to update the remaining useful life. This periodic update could result in a change in the depreciation period and, therefore, also in the depreciation charge for future years.
Employees Benefits – Remuneration plans in the form of stock options
The Company has adopted a Stock Option plan for its senior executives as incentives.
The currently active "2025-2028 Stock Option Plan" is intended for the senior managers/executives of the Company, based on the work performed and the responsibilities assigned, as well as for the General Manager. The rights can be exercised exclusively by the beneficiaries who have been, uninterruptedly, employees of the Company up to the time of the subscription of the shares. In this plan, option rights are assigned on newly issued shares, half of which will mature ("Objective 1"), annually based on the achievement of the Company's economic performance targets measured on EBITDA and, for the other half ("Objective 2"), annually based on the achievement of the Company's economic overperformance objectives, always measured on EBITDA.
In compliance with the IFRS 2 accounting standard, the Company has estimated the expenses to be borne, deriving from the above plan, by assessing:
- the percentage of probability in achieving the objectives set out in the plan and the consequent number of option rights accrued by the beneficiaries, based on the plans set out by the Company, also taking into account the probability of the beneficiaries remaining within the Company at the end of the plan;
- the various fair values of the assigned option rights. These values were determined, in reference with the date of the actual granting of the option rights by the Board of Directors, using the Black and Scholes method.
Should future scenarios be different from the assumed ones when the aforementioned forecasts were formulated, the final charges could be subsequently subject to adjustments.
Furthermore, the majority shareholder of Valsoia S.p.A., Finsalute S.r.l. (Company controlled by Chairman Lorenzo Sassoli de Bianchi) and the current Chief Executive Officer, Andrea Panzani, agreed to a purchase option at nominal value, in several tranches, in favour of the Chief Executive Officer (called "Continuity Agreement"), relating to a package of Valsoia S.p.A. shares equal to 1% of its share capital, currently held by the majority shareholder.
The right to exercise the option manifests itself, within certain time periods, in six different tranches, starting
Valsoia S.p.A./Annual Financial Report as at December 31, 2025

VALSOIA
from the year 2023 and up to and including the year 2028, for a maximum total of 107,000 ordinary shares of Valsoia S.p.A.
In accordance with the accounting standard IFRS 2, the Company estimates the charges to be borne by the Company arising from the aforementioned Continuity Agreement by assessing the probability of the beneficiary remaining within the Company over the duration of the agreement itself.
Allowance for doubtful accounts
In order to determine the level that is appropriate for the allowance for doubtful accounts, Valsoia assesses the possibility of collecting the receivables based on the solvency of every debtor, the ageing of the receivables and the losses recognised in the past for similar receivables. The quality of the estimates depends on the availability of updated information regarding the solvency of the debtors.

Closing inventories of products deemed obsolete or slow-moving are periodically subjected to specific valuation tests, taking into account past experience, historical results and the likelihood that the goods will be sold under normal market conditions. If these analyses indicate the need to reduce the value of inventories, Management makes the appropriate write-downs.
Deferred tax assets/liabilities
Recognition of deferred tax assets is based on income expectations over future financial periods. The valuation of the expected revenue for the purposes of recognising deferred taxes depends on factors that could vary over time and which have significant effects on the valuation of active deferred taxes.
Contingent liabilities
In relation to any proceedings, lawsuits and other claims, in order to determine the appropriate level of provisions for risks and charges relating to such potential liabilities, Valsoia evaluates the validity of the claims made by the counterparties and the correctness of its actions, and assesses the extent of any losses resulting from the potential outcomes. Furthermore, the Company consults its own legal advisers regarding problems relative to disputes that arise during the course of its activities. The determination of the amount of the provision for risks and charges which could be necessary for contingent liabilities is carried out after careful analysis of each problem category. The determination of the amounts necessary for the provisions for risks and charges is subject to changes based on the development of each problem.
Revenues from contracts with customers
The revenue recognition process includes estimates relating to the determination of discounts granted to, but not yet claimed by, customers. The processes and methods used to value and determine these estimates are based on assumptions that by their nature involve the use of Directors' judgement.

Note (2) - Trade receivables
Trade receivables derive from ordinary sale transactions, mainly with national operators in the Large-scale retail and Wholesale sectors.
This item breaks down as follows:
| Description
(EUR 000) | 12/31/2025 | 12/31/2024 |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Trade receivables (gross of allowance for doubtful accounts) | 15,031 | 12,461 |
| Allowance for doubtful accounts | (1,209) | (1,236) |
| Total trade receivables (gross of allowance for doubtful accounts) | 13,822 | 11,225 |
Trade receivables are shown net of the allowance for doubtful accounts, determined in accordance with the new IFRS9 standard, on the basis of an estimate of collection risks, taking into account the information available on the risk of insolvency of the individual positions, their seniority and the losses on receivables recognised in the past for similar types of receivables, as well as projections of average collection times by type of counterparty and geographical area. Trade receivables amounted to EUR 13,822 thousand at December 31, 2025, and the change from the previous year is mainly attributable to a different invoicing and collection schedule.
The following table shows a summary of the afore-mentioned Trade receivables, broken down by ageing.
| Description
(EUR 000) | 12/31/2025 | 12/31/2024 |

The changes in the allowance for doubtful accounts are shown below:
| Description
(EUR 000) | 12/31/2025 | 12/31/2024 |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Opening balance | 1,236 | 1,151 |
| - (usage) | (27) | (8) |
| - allocations | 0 | 93 |
| Total allowance for doubtful accounts | 1,209 | 1,236 |
The allowance for doubtful accounts mainly refers to receivables subject to litigation or claimed from customers subject to bankruptcy proceedings. Draw-downs reflect receivable situations for which the elements of certainty and precision - i.e. the presence of ongoing insolvency proceedings - result in the write-off of the position.
Past-due positions receivable are monitored by the administrative management through periodic analyses of the main positions; write-downs are made for those found to be objectively uncollectible, in whole or in part.
As at 31 December 2025, the Company had outstanding foreign currency receivables for a total value in Euro of approximately 49.3 thousand, consisting mainly of British Pounds (GBP) and US Dollars (USD).
Note (3) - Inventories
This item breaks down as follows:
| Description
(EUR 000) | 12/31/2025 | 12/31/2024 |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Raw materials, ancillary and consumable materials | 2,463 | 2,344 |
| Work in process | 194 | 74 |
| Finished goods | 7,795 | 8,725 |
| Total inventories | 10,452 | 11,143 |
The value of inventories was EUR 10,452 thousand, a $6\%$ decrease from December 31, 2024.
The value of stocks of "raw, ancillary and consumable materials" is substantially in line with the previous year. As far as "finished products" are concerned, the value shows a decrease that is essentially attributable to a general decrease in the level of stocks.
The valuation of the closing inventories is carried out net of the inventory obsolescence provision for a total of EUR 524 thousand (EUR 1,133 thousand at December 31, 2024), in order to adjust the valuation to the presumed realisable value, also in consideration of the physical deterioration risk of the same ("expiration date"). Inventories are not subject to any obligations or restrictions related to property rights.

The table below provides a breakdown of the movements in the provision for inventory obsolescence:
| Description
(EUR 000) | 12/31/2025 | 12/31/2024 |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Provision for inventory obsolescence of raw and ancillary materials | | |
| Opening balance | 216 | 196 |
| - provisions/(drawdowns) | 85 | 20 |
| Balance on December 31 | 301 | 216 |
| Provision for inventory obsolescence of finished products and goods | | |
| Opening balance | 917 | 214 |
| - provisions/(drawdowns) | (694) | 703 |
| Balance on December 31 | 223 | 917 |
| Total Provision for inventory obsolescence | 524 | 1,133 |
The decrease in the provision for inventory obsolescence of EUR 609,000 is mainly attributable to various batches of finished products in stock at third-party warehouses at 31 December 2024, no longer marketable due to causes attributable to the third party, and for which during the year a charge has been made as compensation for contractual damages, as also described in Notes 4) and 23) below. The value of these lots, as atof 31 December 2024, had been prudentially included in the Inventory Obsolescence Fund.
Note (4) - Other current assets
This item breaks down as follows:
| Description
(EUR 000) | 12/31/2025 | 12/31/2024 |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Tax receivables | 2,357 | 1,836 |
| Prepayments and accrued income | 472 | 168 |
| Other current receivables | 293 | 1,130 |
| Total other current assets | 3,122 | 3,134 |
"Tax receivables" mainly refer to the credits for current taxes, VAT credit position at year-end, to withholding taxes and to the tax credits for 4.0 investments earmarked, which will be offset in subsequent tax periods.
The item 'Other current receivables' mainly includes advances to suppliers. The change compared to the previous year is mainly attributable to the collection, during 2025, of the receivable from third parties recorded on 31 December 2024, as compensation for damages for contractual breaches.

Note (5) – Goodwill
The item Goodwill shows the following changes for the year:
| Description
(EUR 000) | 12/31/2024 | Changes for the period | | 12/31/2025 |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| | Net value | Increases | Decreases | Net value |

| Loriana goodwill | 9,255 | 0 | 0 | 9,255 |
| Total goodwill | 17,453 | 0 | 0 | 17,453 |
The goodwill recognised derives:
- with regard to Santa Rosa, from the allocation of the residual amount from the premium of the investment value, compared with the fair value of the assets and liabilities of J&T Italia S.r.l., a company to which the Santa Rosa business made reference, following the merger by incorporation of the same finalised in previous years;
- as regards Diete.Tic from the Purchase Price Allocation process of the positive difference between the value of the business unit relating to the liquid sweetener "Diete.Tic." acquired on October 2, 2017, and the fair value of the individual assets that comprised it;
- as regards Loriana, from the Purchase Price Allocation process of the positive difference between the value of the business unit relating to the "Loriana" Piadina acquired on December 31, 2020, and the fair value of the individual assets that comprised it.
Pursuant to IFRS, goodwill is not amortised but is tested for impairment at least once a year, when preparing the financial statements, as required by IAS 36 and as described in Note 6 below.
For comparison purposes, we show the movement of goodwill in the previous year:

Note (6) - Intangible assets
The item "Intangible assets" shows the following changes for the year:
| Description (EUR 000) | 12/31/2024 | Changes for the period | 12/31/2025 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Net value | Increases/(decreases) Net | Amortisation/depreciation / impairment | Net value | |
| Trademarks | 23,555 | 0 | (350) | 23,205 |
| Industrial patents and intellectual property rights | 1,453 | 337 | (332) | 1,458 |
| Other | 243 | 52 | (124) | 171 |
| Total intangible assets | 25,251 | 389 | (806) | 24,834 |
The increases for the year refer mainly to the purchase of software licenses.
The item "Trademarks", as for EUR 20,060 thousand mainly refers to the Santa Rosa brand, valued at fair value as part of the allocation of the value of the investment of J&T Italia S.r.l. following its aforementioned merger by incorporation.
The Santa Rosa brand, as allowed by IAS 38 and in line with that applied in previous years, has been considered as having an indefinite useful life and therefore it is not amortised, based on the following reasons:
- it has a priority role in the Valsoia strategy;
- the trademark is owned and appropriately registered and constantly protected, pursuant to the law, with options for the renewal of the legal protection at the expiry of the registration periods, with limited costs incurred;
- the products marketed by the Company under this trademark are not subject to technological obsolescence, as is also typical of the food sector in which the Company operates;
- the sector of reference of the "Santa Rosa" brand shows characteristics of stability with a limited impact from product innovation or changes in the market demand;
- the level of trade investments needed to obtain the financial benefits expected from this business sector is sustainable for the Company and falls within the scope of the corporate strategies.
The value of the Santa Rosa trademark is tested for impairment at least annually at the time of the drawing up of the annual financial statements, in accordance with the matters envisaged by IAS 36.
In addition, the item "Trademarks" and the item "Industrial patents and intellectual property rights" include:
- trademarks and patents, valued at the time of first registration at fair value, belonging to the company branch linked to liquid sweetener "Diete.Tic" acquired during the 2017 financial year. The net book value, at the end of the year, of the "Diete.Tic" trademark was EUR 575 thousand and the patents were EUR 1,029 thousand. The fair value of the Diete.Tic trademark and of the patents protecting the production process was measured with the support of a market method called "relief from royalties". This method of measurement, which uses inputs that are observable from the market, is a methodology that is preferred by the accounting standards. The "Diete tic" brand, based on the considerations already set out above, is amortised on the basis of an estimated useful life of 15 years;

- brand, valued at the time of first registration at fair value, belonging to the "Piadina Loriana" business unit acquired at the end of the 2020 financial year. The net book value at the end of the year of the "Loriana" brand is equal to EUR 2,483 thousand. The fair value of the Loriana brand was assessed using a market method called "relief from royalties". This method of measurement, which uses inputs that are observable from the market, is a methodology that is preferred by the accounting standards. The "Loriana" brand, based on the considerations already set out above, is amortised based on an estimated useful life of 15 years.
For comparison purposes, we show the changes to the Intangible assets that occurred in the previous year:

6.1 Impairment Test
As previously indicated in the section relating to Accounting Standards, Valsoia S.p.A. performs at least annually, even in the absence of indicators of loss, the impairment test required by IAS 36, in order to verify the degree of recoverability of the value of the trademarks and goodwill allocated to the "Santa Rosa", "Diete.Tic" and "Loriana" Cash Generating Units ("CGU").
Upon the closing of the Financial Statements for 2025, impairment tests were carried out and were subject to the specific approval by the Board of Directors prior to approving the Financial Statements for the year.
In particular, Valsoia S.p.A., in application of the methodology indicated by IAS 36, has identified the CGUs that represent the smallest identifiable group capable of generating independent cash flows.
The value in use is represented by the present value of future cash flows ("Discounted Cash Flows") which are estimated to derive from the continuous use of the assets referring to the CGU and the terminal value attributable to them.
In order to verify the recoverability of the amounts recorded, the value in use was compared with the net book value attributed to the CGUs of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, including goodwill, as well as an estimated valuation of net working capital.
The determination of the Enterprise Value involves the following operations:
- estimate of the future cash flows (positive and negative) deriving from the ongoing use of the asset and its final disposal;
- discounting of the aforementioned cash flows by applying an appropriate discount rate.
The value in use of the CGUs was estimated using the UDCF ("Unlevered Discounted Cash Flow") model applied to the cash flows included in the 2026 - 2030 multi-year plans approved by the Company's Board of Directors

on March 09, 2026 in relation to the Santa Rosa, Diete.Tic and Loriana CGUs. After the analytical forecast period, a terminal value was determined assuming as a perpetual operating flow, the net operating profit less adjusted tax (Noplat) for the last financial year of the plans.
Following are the main parameters and results from the Impairment tests carried out.
Impairment Test of Santa Rosa CGU
- Discount rate (WACC) = 6.8% (6.8% at 12/31/2024)
- Growth rate of the terminal value (g rate) = 1.9% (1.9% at 12/31/2024)
- Enterprise Value = 38.1 million Euro (42.2 million Euro at 31.12.2024)
- Book value of net CGU assets (*) = 24.6 million Euro (24.7 million Euro at 31.12.2024)
- Cover = Euro 13.5 million (Euro 17.5 million as at 31.12.2024).
(*) trademark, goodwill, plants and equipment and net working capital
Based also on the indications contained in the document no. 2 issued jointly by the Bank of Italy, Consob and ISVAP on February 6, 2009, we elaborated the sensitivity analysis on the test results compared to the variation of the basic assumptions (WACC and g-rate) which affect the value in use of the cash generating unit. In particular, the sensitivity analyses refer to the following aspects:
- a change of 0.5 percentage points of the growth rate g (g-rate) used for the test base;
- a 0.5% percentage point change in the discount rate (WACC) from the rate used for the base test, combined with a reduction in EBITDA over the plan period of up to -20%.
The following table summarises the gains resulting from the sensitivity analysis, from which no situations of potential impairment arose also considering a concurrent worsening of the market variables being considered.

| -20.00% | 9,685 | 6,610 | 4,105 |
Finally, it is stated that:
- the WACC discount rate that would result in a cover equal to zero (break-even WACC) is 10.03% (3.22 percentage points increase), given the same g-rate (1.90%);
- the g-rate growth rate that would result in a cover equal to zero (break-even g-rate) is negative and equal to -2.56% (a reduction of -4.46 percentage points), given the same WACC discount rate;
- the Plan's EBITDA reduction that would result in a cover equal to zero (break-even EBITDA reduction) is -39.26%.

The subsidiaries Valsoia Pronova d.o.o. and Swedish Green Food Co. deal with the marketing of Valsoia products in the Slovenian and Swedish markets respectively, Kele & Kele d.o.o., acquired at the end of 2025, is a Slovenian company that is a leader in the production and marketing in the Slovenian market, in particular, of traditional Kefir under the "Krepko" brand.
On 3 December 2025, the Company completed an acquisition of 70% of the share capital of Kele & Kele d.o.o. for a total value of EUR 3,279,000, consisting of: (i) EUR 2,800,000 paid at closing, (ii) EUR 252,000 referring to the price adjustment mechanism, settled after the closing date of the financial year and (ii) EUR 227,000 relating to the variable price component (earn-out), recognised under non-current financial liabilities. The agreement between the parties also provided for the subscription between the buyer and seller of put and call options on the remaining 30% of the company's share capital to be exercised at the end of a three-year period. These options provide for a mechanism for determining the transfer value according to current market practices.
The valuation of the investment in the subsidiary Kele & Kele d.o.o. according to the equity method takes into account the effects deriving from the allocation of the purchase price recognised in the Group's consolidated financial statements, including the fair value differences attributed to identifiable assets and liabilities (brand, customer list, land and buildings, net of the related deferred tax) and, on a residual basis, to goodwill. In particular, the difference between the acquisition price and the book value (determined in application of IFRS
Valsoia S.p.A./Annual Financial Report as at December 31, 2025
TRANSLATION ONLY- NON-OFFICIAL VERSION
VALSOIA
international accounting standards) of the portion of shareholders' equity acquired as at 30 November 2025 was attributed to the fair value of the assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities acquired and, on a residual basis, to goodwill as follows:
| Allocation of the differential (70% pro-rata values) (EUR 000) | Values |
|---|---|
| Acquired shareholders' equity (IFRS) | 566 |
| Brand fair value measurement | 1,017 |
| Valuation at fair value of customer list | 124 |
| Fair value measurement of land and buildings | 949 |
| Deferred tax liabilities | (460) |
| Goodwill | 1,083 |
| Purchase price | 3,279 |
Regarding the recognition of the economic effects for the year deriving from the valuation of the aforementioned equity investments using the equity method, the following should be noted:
- In 2025, the subsidiary Valsoia Pronova d.o.o. recorded sales of approximately EUR 983 thousand with a profit negative profit of EUR 20 thousand and Shareholder's Equity of EUR 225 thousand at the end of the year.
- In the same year, the subsidiary Swedish Green Food Co. AB achieved a turnover of about EUR 568 thousand with a negative result of EUR 2 thousand and equity of EUR 5 thousand at the end of the year.
- With reference to the subsidiary Kele & Kele d.o.o., the valuation of the investment has incorporated the economic effects deriving from the subsidiary's result for the month of December 2025, as well as the Company's share of the depreciation referable to the tangible and intangible assets identified in the Purchase Price Allocation (PPA), net of the related tax effects. These effects led to an overall decrease in the carrying amount of EUR 13,000, of which EUR 6,000 related to the Company's share of the result for the month of December and EUR 7,000 related to the amortisation of assets with a defined useful life that emerged during the allocation of the purchase price, net of the related tax effects.
Taking into account the implicit goodwill, inherent in the value of the investment held in Kele&Kele d.o.o., equal to EUR 1,083,000, Valsoia, when preparing the consolidated financial statements (to which reference is made) for the year ended 31 December 2025, carried out, even in the absence of loss indicators, an impairment test to verify the degree of recoverability of the carrying value of this investment. The test, prepared according to the UDCF ("Unlevered Discounted Cash Flow") model applied to the cash flows included in the investee's 2026-2030 multi-year plan, did not show any impairment of the assets recorded in the financial statements.

Note (10) - Non-current financial assets
This item breaks down as follows:

| BTP "Italia" June 2030 Eur | 15,094 | 19,754 |
| Total non-current financial assets | 15,094 | 19,754 |
This item consists of a nominal EUR 19.921 million original investment in the Italian government debt security BTP "Italia" maturing in June 2030, of a portion of the liquidity held in bank current accounts, for the sole purpose of counteracting the depreciation of purchasing power due to the inflation rates recorded in Italy's economy at the time.
Upon initial recognition, the financial asset was classified and presented using the fair value method with recognition of changes in other comprehensive income. The valuation and classification of the stock were made according to the business model adopted by the Company and whether the stock passed the SPPI test, as required by IFRS 9.
The fair value of the BTP is of level 1, the inputs being quoted prices (not amended) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities to which the company has free access at the valuation date.
Its "fair value" is the official daily quotation on the MOT.
During the 2025 financial year, the Company made a partial sale of the security for a nominal value of Euro 5 million, at a unit selling price of Euro 100.7, for a total value of Euro 5,028,000. Following this transaction, the residual nominal value of the investment is equal to EUR 14.921 million. The sale resulted in the recognition in the income statement of a capital loss of Euro 34 thousand, recorded under the item "Financial charges", recorded with the opposite sign in the comprehensive income statement net of the tax effect.
On December 31, 2025, the Company updated the valuation of the stock to the listing value of EUR 101.2, compared to EUR 99.2 of December 31, 2024. The Company therefore recorded a revaluation of this security in the amount of EUR 376,000, recognised in the statement of comprehensive income, net of the related tax effect.

The item Current financial liabilities refers to instalments with maturities of less than 12 months relating to various medium/long-term loans outstanding and to the balance at the end of the year of a "Hot Money" credit line for a total amount of EUR 5 million.

In addition, on 28 April 2025, Credito Emiliano S.p.A. granted the Company a "Hot Money" credit line for a total amount of EUR 5 million, subsequently renewed, currently scheduled to expire on 30 June 2026. The line is fully utilised at the closing date of the period.

| - End of employment severances and advances to employees | (7) |
| - Actuarial gains (losses) | (1) |
| Closing provision for post-employment benefits at 12/31/2025 | 241 |
The provision for post-employment benefits is valued according to the IAS 19 standard, by which it is recognised under "Defined benefit plans"; therefore, it was recognised through the actuarial projected unit credit method. Following are the main assumptions used for the calculation:
Demographic assumptions
Mortality rate: the probabilities have been drawn from the general Italian population based on age and sex (ISTAT) in 2000, and decreased by 25%.
Invalidity rates: for calculating the probability of exiting the company due to a total and permanent disability of the employee, the disability tables that are currently used by insurance companies, based on age and sex, were used.
As regards retirement age, it was assumed that active employees would stop working as soon as they reach the first pre-requisite for retirement as set forth in the mandatory general insurance scheme. The valuation incorporates the changes in the retirement age dictated by the "Monti" Reform.
As for the probability of ending employment for resignations or termination, a 4% annual frequency was used. As for the probability of requests for advances on salaries, for projection purposes, an annual 2.8% advance rate (percentage of employees who ask for an advance from their post-employment benefits, every year) was used. As regards the number of advance payments, 50% of the accrued provision for post-employment benefits amount was used.
Business-financial assumptions
A rate of 3.0909% per annum was used as the discount rate for valuations as of December 31, 2025 for bonds issued by European companies with AA ratings for maturities of 5-7 years.
Note: the average maturity of the company's liabilities is 6.95 years.
Yearly Inflation rate: 2.0%
Shareholders' equity - Note (22)
Share capital
The share capital of the Company is fully paid up and amounts to EUR 3,574,890.66, with 10,833,002 ordinary shares of a Nominal value of EUR 0.33 each. As at 31 December 2025, the Company holds 31,700 treasury shares (for a nominal value of Euro 10,461), which reduce the share capital represented in the financial statements to Euro 3,564,429.66, equal to 10,801,302 ordinary shares in circulation.
Legal reserve
This is the reserve accrued pursuant to Art. 2430 of the Italian Civil code.

of their achievement;
- the fair value of the assigned option rights. This value was determined, in reference to the date of the actual initial assignment of the option rights approved by the Board of Directors on November 10, 2025, by using the Cox-Rubinstein binomial model for Bermudan options based on the following assumptions:

| Estimated dividends | 3.35% | |||
| Unit fair value (EUR) | 10.21 | 9.87 | 9.54 | 9.54 |
As regards the probability of employees leaving the Company (exit rate), the rate used is 0% per year (bad leaver).
The comprehensive fair value of the Stock Option Plan was estimated from the product between the unitary fair value of the individual option and the expected value of the number of option rights accrued at the exercise dates. This expected value is the result of the product between the number of option rights assigned and the probability of achieving the Company's performance targets.
The number of option rights assigned by the Board of Directors on November 10, 2025 is 150,000 in total, of which:
- 50,000 allocated for 2025 and subject to exercise, after accrual, from April 30, 2026 for 50% (target 1) and for the other 50% (target 2) from April 30, 2028;
- 50,000 allocated for 2026 and subject to exercise, after accrual, from April 30, 2027 for 50% (target 1) and for the other 50% (target 2) from April 30, 2028;
- 50,000 allocated for 2027 and subject to exercise, after accrual, from April 30, 2028 for 50% (target 1) and for the other 50% (target 2) from April 30, 2028.
In relation to the Continuity Agreement between the current CEO, Andrea Panzani, and the majority shareholder of Valsoia S.p.A., Finsalute S.r.l, as reported in the paragraph "Employee benefits - Remuneration plans in the form of stock options", the right to exercise the option materialises itself, within certain periods, in six different tranches, starting from the year 2023 up to and including the year 2028, for a maximum total of 107,000 ordinary shares of Valsoia S.p.A.
The effect in 2025 of the exercise of the option, amounting to EUR 152 thousand, is reflected in the specific item under "Personnel costs" (note 24).
