THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS APPROVES THE DRAFT FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2024

TOTAL SALES REVENUES AT 116.8 MILLION EUROS +3.5% ALL ECONOMIC INDICATORS INCREASE COMPARED TO 2023 FOREIGN SALES STILL INCREASING +7.9% EBITDA EQUAL TO 14.3 MILLION EUROS +14.0% EBITDA MARGIN OF 12.2% EBIT EQUAL TO 11.3 MILLION EUROS +17.4% NET PROFIT OF 8.3 MILLION EUROS +15.9%

SOLID NET FINANCIAL POSITION CONFIRMED, CASH POSITIVE FOR 28.4 MILLION EUROS PROPOSED DIVIDEND AT 0.38 EURO PER SHARE

SHAREHOLDERS' MEETING CALLED FOR 28 APRIL 2025

Bologna, March 17, 2025 - The Board of Directors of Valsoia S.p.A. (EXM: VLS) met on today's date to approve the results for the 2024 financial year.

Chairman Lorenzo Sassoli de Bianchi commented as follows: "I am satisfied with the growth of our Company in a national market scenario characterized by stagnation in volumes in the Consumer Packaged Goods market. Our Brands, both health and traditional food, confirm growth in revenues and volumes, with all economic indicators improving.

We are particularly satisfied with Valsoia plant-based ice cream, which has seen significant growth in volumes and market shares, reaching approximately 80% of the total plant-based ice cream category. As extraordinary are the results of piadina Loriana and Diete.Tic sweetener, which have set further growth records in 2024, which have also never been interrupted since their acquisitions.

The recent launch of Valsoia Zero spreadable cream, with no added sugars and 100% plant-based, is also positive. This new product will soon be supported by a dedicated television advertising campaign.

Substantially all our Brands confirm their solidity in terms of value and Brand Equity, in a market context still burdened by very aggressive competitive dynamics.

Foreign sales are also accelerating their growth, confirming our determination to pursue international development.

We remain focused on raw materials cost control, which improved slightly during 2024 but is still far from the starting levels before the inflation crisis and indeed with some strong, unexpected, increases, such as for cocoa, chocolate and vegetable fats.

The financial (positive NFP for 28.4 million Euros) and equity strength of the Company allows us to look confidently to a future of continued growth, supported by investments in the strategic areas of innovation, communication and organization. Significant investments such as the doubling of our Serravalle Sesia plant made necessary by business growth but also to bring future benefits in terms of higher margins, efficiency, sustainability, respect for the environment and safety for our people".

SIGNIFICANT EVENTS AND BUSINESS PERFORMANCE

In 2024, Valsoia (the "Company") recorded Sales Revenues of 116.75 million Euros, an increase of 3.5% (+3.9 million Euros) compared to the end of previous financial year of 112.82 million Euros.

The growth in revenues is related both to the increase in the Health Food Division ("Valsoia Bontà e Salute" Brand) and to the positive performance of the Traditional Food Division (Piadina Loriana, Santa Rosa Confetture, Diete.Tic, Weetabix, Oreo O's Cereals, Vallè and Häagen-Dazs Brands).

Consumption in Italy (total "grocery" markets - Modern Distribution) was, during 2024, positive in value (+1.3% source: NIQ December 2024) and, substantially, stable in volumes (+0.4%). In particular, the "Big Brands" cluster, which includes Valsoia Brands, recorded stable trends in value (+0.2%) but with volumes decreasing by 1% (source: NIQ December 2024). During 2024, this decrease in consumption is more marked for packaged food, which records, again with reference to the "Big Brands" cluster, a -1.5% in volume with a +1.0% in value (Source: NIQ December 2024).

In this scenario, the "Big Brands", in the total "grocery" market – Modern Distribution, continued to reduce their

market share (equal to 44.6%, 0.5 share points less than the previous year compared to the growth of private labels (22.7%; +0.4 share points compared to the previous year).

2024 recorded, in general in the mass consumption markets, growing promotional indices in an attempt to support sell-out volumes, while retail prices, after the strong inflationary push of 2023, significantly slowed their growth during the year, reducing the average annual inflation, for Consumer Packaged Goods, around +1% (slightly higher, around +2%, for the products of the "Big Brands" cluster).

Valsoia operates with its Brands in a very high number of markets (20 product categories monitored by NIQ) diversifying and thus reducing the risk of fluctuations in volumes and revenues in the markets in which it operates. During 2024, the number of market segments, in terms of consumption trends in volume, is well balanced for the Company's Brands.

For the total portfolio of the Company's Brands, a positive trend is highlighted, also for 2024, in the volumes of the "Mass consumption" lines (+1% overall, +0.6% Italy) countertrend to what was highlighted above for the same lines of the "Big Brands" cluster (-1.5%). This performance confirms the solidity of the "Brand Equity" for the Company's Brands, in a context of consumer prices confirmed at the levels reached with 2023 strong inflation.

The work aimed at improving distribution coverage and spaces in the points of sale continued thanks to the expansion of the activities of the "sell-out specialists" network dedicated to the Company's Brands and active on over 40% of the weighted distribution in Italy.

In 2024 financial year, foreign sales showed an increase of 7.9% in value compared to the previous financial year. The growth (+3.8% in volumes) was supported in particular by the good performance of plant-based ice cream and beverages, while the first foreign sales of Piadina Loriana continued to grow.

During 2024, support for the Company's owned Brands continued with increased investments in communication and sampling activities for consumers, on the occasion of major events such as concerts, fairs and national sporting events.

In terms of raw material costs, 2024 was characterized by modest downward adjustments for some categories, offset by increases, even significant ones, for others (for example cocoa, chocolate and vegetable fats).

The Company has committed to controlling and containing all costs (raw materials, products and services) after the extraordinary growth of the same in the previous two years, having, among other things, decided for 2024 a policy of "no increase" of the price lists, with the exception of Santa Rosa jams and the line of plant-based hazelnut cream of Valsoia Bontà e Salute, with the aim of containing the inflationary impact on consumption for its brands. During the fourth quarter, an increase in the price lists of the plant-based ice cream and dessert line was necessary, as a consequence of the further extraordinary increase in the cost of chocolate.

Structure costs are in line with budget forecasts and aligned in terms of incidence compared to the previous year.

As per Marketing Plans, investments in Consumer Marketing (advertising, in particular) have been increased both in absolute value and in terms of incidence, while those in Trade Marketing are aligned with the incidence of the previous year.

The operating margin for 2024 financial year (EBITDA) was therefore equal to 14.26 million Euros, a significant increase (+1.75 million Euros, equal to +14.0%) compared to the previous financial year, recording an EBITDA Margin

equal to 12.2% compared to 11.1% for 2023, essentially returning to the incidence index of the margin of 2022.

The Pre-tax Result is equal to 11.8 million Euros (+1.53 million Euros, equal to +14.9% compared to the previous year), with a percentage incidence on sales revenues of 10.1% compared to 9.1% for 2023.

The Net Profit is equal to 8.27 million Euros, an increase compared to the previous financial year of +15.9% (+1.13 million Euros), with a percentage index that stands at 7.1% of revenues compared to 6.3% in the previous year.

The adjusted net financial position, as previously defined, as of December 31, 2024 is positive for €28.4 million, while it was equal to €27.3 million as of December 31, 2023. Net of the effect of the application of IFRS16 as of December 31, 2024, the adjusted NFP would be equal to €30.2 million (€29.4 million as of December 31, 2023).

The data relating to the 2023 financial year have been restated to retroactively reflect the effects deriving from the change in the criterion used for the valuation of investments in subsidiaries, from the cost method to the equity method, implemented by the Directors starting from this financial year. For further details, please refer to the comments in the explanatory notes in the paragraph Changes in accounting principles and valuation criteria.

(*) Non-current financial assets consist of the investment in Italian government bonds (BTP).

(**) The adjusted net financial position, hereinafter also "NFP-r", represents an indicator of the financial structure and is determined in accordance with Esma Guidelines 32-382-1138 with the addition of the values of non-current financial assets. The figure at 31 December 2024 includes the effect on the NFP deriving from the application of Ifrs 16 Leases, equal to 1.8 million Euros (2.1 million Euros at 31 December 2023).

As of 31 December 2024, the Company's adjusted Net Financial Position was approximately 28.4 million Euros in cash, an improvement of 1.1 million Euros compared to the NFP of last financial year. The adjusted Net Financial Position as of 31 December 2024 and that as of 31 December 2023 include, respectively, debts of 1.78 million Euros and 2.11 million Euros for leases relating to the representation of the mere accounting effects deriving from the application of IFRS 16, relating to existing rental contracts (office rentals at Bologna headquarters and warehouse rentals in Serravalle) and operating leases (long-term rental of company cars); furthermore, the adjusted Net

Financial Position as of 31 December 2024 accounts for the investment in Non-current Financial Assets at "fair value", incorporating a negative adjustment of over 0.4 million Euros compared to the invested value but higher, by approximately 0.85 million Euros, compared to the valuation as of 31 December 2023.

As a consequence of the above, the adjusted Net Financial Position of the Company as of 31 December 2024 is substantially in line with that as of 31 December 2023.

Throughout the entire 2024 financial year, current management continued to generate positive cash with a primary operating cash flow of 14.7 million Euros. The increase in turnover recorded during the financial year and prudent management of warehouse stock levels led to an absorption of liquidity at the level of commercial working capital of approximately 2.9 million Euros.

Tax management resulted in a flow of financial outflows of approximately 1.1 million Euros.

On the other hand, outgoing financial flows amounted to 6.3 million Euros, for the requirement relating to Investments (material for 5.9 million Euros, intangible and financial for approximately 0.4 million Euros) and 0.8 million Euros in relation to leasing and rental fees actually paid during the financial year. The investment in non-current financial assets (Italian government bonds, BTP) resulted in the collection of a coupon (interest + revaluation of the FOI ex tobacco index) equal to 0.5 million Euros. Finally, also during 2024, the shareholder remuneration policy was followed, which resulted in a cash outflow, for the dividends paid during the financial year, equal to 4.1 million Euros.

SALES REVENUES BREAKDOWN BY COMPANY DIVISION

(a) Brands Valsoia Bontà e Salute, Vitasoya, Naturattiva

(b) Brands Santa Rosa (jams only), Diete.Tic, Loriana, Weetabix, Oreo Cereali, Vallè (sales fees), Häagen-Dazs.

(c) Supplements, Industrial Products (B2B)

The turnover of both Divisions, "Health Food" and "Traditional Food", is growing in the financial year, as shown in the summary table. In Italy, only the revenues of the B2B Division (mainly industrial) are decreasing.

Foreign Sales are up by +7.9% compared to the previous financial year, with an overall net turnover of approximately 10.5 million Euros. This trend confirms the trend of previous financial years and the solid state of health of the Company's Brands.

As regards Italy, given the stability of retail prices at the levels reached by the inflation peaks of late 2023, it is important to underline again the growth in volumes both for the healt lines ("Valsoia Bontà e Salute"), and for the Brands of the Food division with very significant increases in volumes sold for Piadina Loriana (+8.9%) and Diete.Tic

(+7.8%).

In particular, these last brands show an excellent state of health, recording constant growth since the year of their acquisition (2021 for Loriana and 2018 for Diete.Tic), recording, at the end of 2024, respectively, for Piadina Loriana a +35% in volumes and for Diete.Tic a +50%.

Valsoia Bontà e Salute and the entire Italian health division grew by 3% in value with volumes further improving (+0.6% towards 2023). In particular, the performance of Valsoia plant-based ice creams stands out, recording a growth of 7.2% in volumes in Italy during the financial year, dragging consumption of the plant-based ice cream market (+3.9%) and further increasing its share to reach 75.9% of total consumption of plant-based ice creams in Italy (year ending December 2024), with monthly peaks even above 80%.

Also noteworthy is the performance of the volumes of the hazelnut spread "Valsoia Bontà e Salute", which recorded, in the financial year, an increase in volumes equal to +10.8% (Italy & abroad) with a +16.8% in the Italian market, despite the entry in the second part of the year of the plant-based version of the iconic Nutella brand.

The support for all Brands in communication (institutional and field tactics) continued and strengthened during the year, together with increased investments in the area of control and optimization of the point of sale.

The important renewal of the image of "Valsoia Bontà e Salute" was presented to the market following a structured research project on target consumers.

The new image expresses a modern and authoritative brand identity, confirming its historical values together with the ability to get closer to a younger target.

In addition to the packaging renewal of all the "Valsoia Bontà e Salute" lines, a new communication campaign has been created, which will strengthen the positioning of the "Valsoia Bontà e Salute" brand both on the current and younger consumer target. The new advertising films, scheduled from April to December 2024, have had an extraordinary media impact.

The television planning was also successful for Piadina Loriana, together with the territorial and digital communication operations that supported the continuation of growth, in volumes and revenues, uninterrupted since the acquisition date.

Not less important, the creation and broadcast of the first television communication campaign for the Diete.Tic brand, which saw its successful debut in November 2024, already recording interesting positive reactions on the volumes of consumption of the brand itself.

Also in the 2024 financial year, two television and social campaigns were created and planned for international markets with subjects of both plant-based beverages and ice creams for the "Valsoia" Brand.

Finally, we would like to point out the progress of the expansion project of the Serravalle Sesia plant, in line with the budget and expected times, which will lead to the doubling of the useful production surface by 2026 with important benefits in terms of flexibility, product research & development, time to market, quality control and obviously net margins.

INVESTMENTS

During 2024, investments in tangible and intangible assets for over 6 million Euros were made. These investments mainly concerned construction and technological investments related to the expansion of the Serravalle Sesia

production site and, in particular, the works planned for the new plant extracts department.

SUSTAINABILITY PROJECT

The Company, although not required to draft the Non-Financial Statement pursuant to Legislative Decree no. 254/16, shows particular attention to issues related to sustainable development in environmental, social and governance terms, finalizing an annual "Sustainability Report".

/

This report, published after the Shareholders' Meeting for the approval of the 2024 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 producing this report, Valsoia has made further progress in the direction of compliance with Legislative Decree no. 125/2024 of transposition in Italy of EU Directive 2022/2464 (CSRD), inspired by the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS) of EU Regulation 2023/2772, both in the structuring of the Report and in the analysis and assessment of relevance.

The Company has undertaken the analysis of ESG risks, an initial taxonomic analysis together with a "gap analysis" between existing legislation and the new Directive.

In 2024 it has also pursued the objectives of the year and implemented the multi-year ones, consisting of relevant issues integrated into the Company's business strategy.

Valsoia is progressively implementing within the organization a governance that is transversal to all the Company's functions and focused on the processes and objectives of the Sustainability Plan.

/

FORESEEABLE MANAGEMENT EVOLUTION

In the period following the closing of the Annual Financial Report, for the months of January and February 2025, further growth in Sales Revenues and overall volumes is highlighted.

Sales of Piadina Loriana and Diete.Tic are still positive and maintain a better trend compared to the closing of 2024, just as the trends of plant-based beverages are currently growing.

Television communication programming has resumed as expected by the marketing plans while numerous new products have been presented to the markets in both the health and traditional food lines.

The Company is, as always, currently involved in the closing of the 2025 contract renewals with the large-scale retail chains and is also focused on intense negotiation tables with suppliers of raw materials, packaging and services.

Finally, the fifth voluntary Sustainability Report (2024) was completed during the first two months of 2025, intended for all the Company's stakeholders.
