4 Introduction to the consolidated interim financial report as at 30 June
2026
INTRODUCTION
The Consolidated interim Financial Report as at 30 June 2026 (hereinafter also the " Interim Report") has been prepared pursuant to Italian Legislative Decree 58/1998 and subsequent amendments, as well as pursuant to the Issuers' Regulations issued by Consob.
The Interim Report consists of the management report, which contains the Directors' observations on the performance of operations and the development of business during the first half of 2026, and the condensed consolidated interim financial statements.
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the B&C Speakers Group as at 30 June 2026 have been prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") and endorsed by the European Union, and have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 "Interim Financial Reporting". These condensed consolidated interim financial statements therefore do not include all the information required by the annual financial statements and must be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements prepared for the year ended 31 December 2025.
This report is also prepared in compliance with Italian Legislative Decree 58/1998, as well as the Issuers' Regulation issued by Consob.
During the first half of 2026, the Parent Company continued its Buy-Back programme of treasury shares in accordance with the resolution of the Shareholders' Meeting held on 29 April 2026, which renewed the mandate to purchase treasury shares for a further 12 months. As at 30 June 2026, the number of treasury shares held amounte d to 106,017, equal to 0. 96% of the share capital. The weighted average purchase price of the shares in the portfolio is EUR 1 4,91 .
At the date of preparation of this report (September 2026), the number of treasury shares held has changed, compared to 30 June 2026, and amounts to 108,417 (equal to 0.99% of the share capital). For information purposes, it should be noted that the Parent Company B&C Speakers S.p.A. is controlled by Research & Development International S.r.l., which ex ercises management and coordination activities.
The shareholding held by the parent company Research & Development International S.r.l. is equivalent, as at 30 June 2026, to 52.73% of the Share Capital; further information on relations with the parent company is provided throughout the report.
5 Report on operations for the half period end ing on 30 June 2026 The B&C Group is one of the leading international companies in the economic sector of the production and marketing of "high -quality professional loudspeakers" ; the nature and type of the company's activity determines the need to identify this single sector as the Group's business activity, which operates both nationally and internationally.
The production and assembly of the products takes place at the Italian production facilities of the Parent Company and the subsidiary Eighteen Sound S.r.l. and at the production facilities of the foreign subsidiaries Eminence Speaker LLC (based in Eminence – Kentucky, USA) and B&C Speakers (Dongguan) Electronic Co. Ltd.
(based in Dongguan, China).
The production and distribution of Ciare brand products is carried out through Eighteen Sound S.r.l.
Distribution in the North American market takes place through the intervention of the American subsidiary B&C Speakers NA LLC, which also offers sales support services to local customers. The operational and logistical activities of B&C Speakers NA LLC are carried out at the headquarters of the subsidiary Eminence Speakers LLC (Kentucky). The concentration of the two subsidiaries' operational activities in a single location makes it possible to make the best use of Eminence Speakers LLC's assets while at t he same time achieving important logistical and operational synergies.
Distribution in the Brazilian market is carried out through the subsidiary B&C Speakers Brasil Ltda, while in the Chinese market, from 2024, it is also carried out through the local subsidiary B&C Speakers (Dongguan) Electronic Co. Ltd.

Share performance
The B&C Speakers S.p.A. share is listed on the Mercato Telematico Azionario organised and managed by Borsa Italiana S.p.A.
As at 30 June 2026 (the last open market day of the half -year), the reference price of the B&C Speakers S.p.A.
(BEC) share was EUR 11.10 and consequently the capitalisation was approximately EUR 122.1 million.
The performance of the B&C Speakers SpA share over the last 12 months is shown below.
Macroeconomic situation
The macroeconomic scenario for the first half of 2026 still appears uncertain due to the persistence of existing risks and the unwelcome continuation of geopolitical tensions, which contribute to a general climate of uncertainty in the markets.
The first half of 2026 was therefore characterised by fragile global economic growth and geopolitical tensions.
In the first three months of 2026, Italian GDP grew by 0.3% in economic terms, compared to a decline of 0.2% in the euro area. The growth achieved for 2026 stands at 0.6%.
In May, the seasonally adjusted index of industrial production fell by 0.3% compared to April, interrupting three consecutive months of increases. On average for the March –May quarter, however, in cyclical terms, the index shows an increase of 0.9%.

7 The crises in the Middle East have also pushed up energy prices, leading the ECB to revise its inflation estimates and curb expectations of rate cuts.
Industry scenario
Industry studies indicate a prospect of steady growth in the global market for professional loudspeakers until 2029, although the structure of this growth is changing compared to the past. Demand is developing simultaneously along three lines: the growing preference for live events and locations , the modernisation of installations in the commercial and recreational sectors, and a slow but significant improvement in cinema audio, driven by immersive formats and large premium formats (PLF). Added to this is the fact that supply chains, prices and competitive dynamics are being reshaped by tariffs, multi -hub production strategies and a new wave of ecosystems driven by mergers and acquisitions.
Industry forecasts indicate market growth from $3.1 billion in 2024 to $4 billion by 2029, with a solid CAGR of 4.2%. The tourism and rental sector remains the fastest -growing sector, but leisure and commercial installations together account for the larges t share of global turnover and volumes. At the regional level, the APAC area is the main growth driver, while the Americas and the EMEA area are increasingly driven by modernisations, mega -projects and luxury renovations rather than by the pure expansion o f event venues.
There is also a strong push towards sustainability and energy efficiency, which is already posing new challenges for industry players, who are in fact moving towards the development and implementation of sustainability plans that combine technical and perf ormance requirements with the ESG demands that are increasingly present in our sector as well.
Economic performance of the Group The Group's economic performance in the first half of 2026 was down compared to the corresponding half of 2025. As at 30 June 2026, the Group's consolidated order book amounted to EUR 14.7 million, compared to EUR 18.6 million as at 31 December 2025.
For a better representation of the operating performance for the first half of the 2026 financial year, compared with the same period of the previous year, a table explaining these results is provided below:
Note:
In this half-yearly report, certain financial indicators and certain reclassified statements not defined by IFRS are presented and comment ed on.
These figures are defined below in compliance with the provisions of the Consob Communication of 28 July 2006 (DEM 6064293) a nd subsequent amendments and additions (Consob Communication no. 0092543 of 3 December 2015, which implements the ESMA/2015/1415 gu idelines).
The alternative performance indicators listed below should be used as supplementary information to the provisions of IFRS to help users of the financial report better understand the Group's economic, equity and financial performance. It should be noted tha t the method used by the Group to calculate these adjustment measures is consistent over the years. It should also be noted that it may differ from the methods used by o ther companies.

8 EBITDA ( earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation ) is defined by the Issuer's Directors as the "result before taxes and financial charges/income", as shown in the consolidated income statement before depreciation, provisions and write -downs as shown in the aforementioned consolidated income statement. EB ITDA is a measure used by the Issuer to monitor and evaluate the Group's operating performance.
EBIT ( earnings before interest and taxes ) represents the consolidated result before taxes, financial charges and income as shown in the income statement prepared by the Directors for the preparation of the financial statements in compliance with IAS/IFRS.
EBT ( earnings before taxes ) represents the consolidated result before taxes as shown in the income statement prepared by the Directors for the preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with IAS/IFRS.
Revenues
In the first half of 2026, consolidated revenues amounted to EUR 47 million, a decrease of 7.2% compared to the corresponding period in 2025. The turnover trend reflects a phase of the year consistent with customer expectations and with a market environmen t characterised by greater selectivity in order planning.
In this scenario, the Group continued to benefit from its broad geographical diversification, recording significant growth in several areas: Italy +44% and Latin America +26%.
Europe remains the Group's leading geographical area, accounting for 50.0% of consolidated revenues, followed by North America with 18.2% and Asia -Pacific with 13.9%.
The ability to develop business in markets with different dynamics is a structural element of the B&C Speakers model and helps to limit the Group's exposure to fluctuations in demand in individual areas.
Below is the complete breakdown by geographical area for the first half of 2026 compared to the same period in 2025 (amounts in euros):
Cost of sales This category includes the consumption of materials (purchases, third -party processing and changes in inventories), the cost of personnel directly involved in the production process, transport costs and costs for commission payable, customs duties and othe r minor direct costs.
The cost of sales shows a substantially constant impact on revenues in the period, standing at 62.5% compared to 62.2% in the first half of 2025.
As a result, the gross margin stands at 37.5% of revenues, substantially in line with the 37.8% recorded in the same period of the previous year.
Geographical Area I half 2026 % I half 2025 % Change Change % Latin America 3,923,877 8.3% 3,112,720 6.1% 811,157 26% Europe 23,510,106 50.0% 26,337,483 52.0% (2,827,377) -11% Italy 3,996,056 8.5% 2,774,622 5.5% 1,221,434 44% North America 8,562,761 18.2% 9,612,815 19.0% (1,050,055) -11% Middle East & Africa 482,000 1.0% 376,782 0.7% 105,218 28% Asia & Pacific 6,539,505 13.9% 8,446,836 16.7% (1,907,331) -23% Total 47,014,303 100.0% 50,661,257 100.0% (3,646,954) -7%
9 The substantial stability of the industrial margin in the presence of lower volumes highlights the Group's ability to preserve the efficiency of its production model and to progressively adapt the operating structure to market conditions.
Indirect personnel
This category refers to the costs for clerical staff, managers and workers not associated with the production process.
The cost of indirect personnel increased slightly in terms of its share of revenues compared to the six months of 2025, rising from 7.1% to 7.8%. In absolute terms, the figure for the first six months of 2026 was substantially in line with the first half o f 2025.
Commercial expenses
This category refers to costs for commercial consultancy, advertising and marketing expenses, travel and transfers and other minor charges relating to the commercial sector.
In absolute terms, selling expenses increased by 29.8%, while maintaining a substantially unchanged impact on revenues. The trend is consistent with the commercial development activities and initiatives aimed at strengthening the Group's presence in international markets and supporting the strategic growth guidelines.
General and administrative General and administrative costs show a reduction in absolute value compared to the corresponding period of the previous year (equal to EUR 54 thousand ), leaving their impact on revenues substantially unchanged, which confirms the Group's focus on controlling the cost structure and on operational efficiency.
EBITDA and EBITDA Margin As a result of the dynamics described above, EBITDA for the first six months of 2026 amounted to EUR 9.1 million, a decrease of EUR 1.8 million ( -16.8%) compared to the same period in 2025.
The EBITDA margin for the first six months of 2026 is 19.4% of revenues, compared to 21.6% for the same period in 2025.
The result highlights the ability of the Group's business model to preserve significant margin generation even in phases characterised by lower demand visibility.
Depreciation and amortisation Depreciation of tangible and intangible fixed assets and rights of use decreased slightly compared to the first six months of 2025 and amounted to EUR 1.3 million (EUR 1.4 million in the first six months of 2025).
EBIT and EBIT margin EBIT for the first six months of 2026 amounted to EUR 7.8 million, down 17.8% compared to the same period in 2025 (when it was EUR 9.5 million). The EBIT margin is 16.6% of revenues (18.7% in the corresponding period of 2025).
Group Net Profit The Group's net profit at the end of the first six months of 2026 amounts to EUR 6.2 million and represents 13.1% of consolidated revenues, with an overall increase of 8.2% compared to the corresponding period in 2025. This trend is due to the effect of th e sharp decrease in financial expenses compared to the first half of 2025 following the stabilisation of the EUR/USD exchange rate.

Balance sheet and financial performance Below is the balance sheet reclassified according to criteria for the allocation of sources and uses:
Note :
Fixed assets : these are defined by the Issuer's Directors as the value of multi -year assets ( property, plant and equipment, rights of use and other intangible assets ). Net Operating Working Capital : defined by the Issuer's Directors as the value of inventories, trade receivables and other receivables net of payables for supplies and other payables. Provisions : represent the value of the obligations related to employee severance pay and Directors' end-of-term benefits. Net Operating Invested Capital : represents the value of financial assets and other financial receivables as described above. Raised capital : represents the value of the Group's Shareholders' Equity and the Group's total debt.
Net Operating Invested Capital shows an increase of EUR 2.7 million compared to 31 December 2025. This increase is mainly due to an increase in warehouse stocks.
Net Non -Operating Invested Capital decreased by EUR 0.9 million compared to 31 December 2025, mainly due to the liquidation of part of the short -term securities portfolio, with a capital gain of EUR 13 thousands .
The other Balance Sheet categories showed no changes compared to 31 December 2025.
The overall Net Financial Position is negative and amounts to EUR 4.7 million compared to a negative value of EUR 0.2 million at the end of the 2025 financial year. The evolution of the financial position must also be read in the light of the significant remuneration paid to shareholders during the period. In May, the Group paid dividends of approximately EUR 7.6 million, equal to EUR 0.70 per share.
Despite this distribution, the Group's cash and cash equivalents amounted to EUR 14.2 million, while the final net cash and cash equivalents amounted to EUR 11.8 million.
The recurring generation of cash therefore continues to represent one of the key elements of B&C Speakers' economic and financial profile and supports the Group's ability to combine investments for development, financial strength and shareholder remunerati on.

11 The corporate structure As at 30 June 2026, the Group's workforce amounted to 386 employees (383 employees as at 31 December 2025).
Investments
The investment activity in the first half of 2026 focused mainly on activities aimed at improving the production lines and improving the production facilities of the subsidiary Eminence Speakers.
Significant events during the first half of 2026 The Shareholders' Meeting, held on 29 April 2026, resolved to approve the financial statements and to distribute an ordinary dividend of EUR 0.7 per ordinary share outstanding on the ex -dividend date (which took place on 4 May 2026, with record date on 5 M ay 2026, and payment on 6 May 2026).
At present, the flow of orders does not seem to be affected by the dramatic events of the ongoing war, it being noted that the Group's turnover with the countries concerned has historically been very low. However, it cannot be ruled out that a prolonged du ration of the conflict and its possible extension could lead to an indirect contraction in demand. The Management of B&C Speakers S.p.A. is closely monitoring the development of the aforementioned scenario in order to understand any further political, econ omic or other implications that could impact the business of the Company and the Group.
Business outlook
The market environment continues to be influenced by geopolitical tensions and international trade policies, factors that affect short -term visibility and lead customers to maintain a cautious approach in planning their procurement.
In this scenario, B&C Speakers continues to manage the business according to criteria of industrial flexibility, operational discipline and cost control, while maintaining its focus on initiatives aimed at medium - to long -
term growth.
In particular, the Group continues to invest in strengthening its international commercial presence, developing its proprietary distribution platform and expanding its product range, leveraging its production and commercial presence in the main world marke ts and its portfolio of B&C, 18SOUND, EMINENCE and CIARE brands .
Evidence from the market continues to indicate that the current greater caution in demand is predominantly temporary in nature. While maintaining a careful approach to the evolution of the international scenario, the Group therefore remains focused on the objective of preserving high levels of profitability and financial efficiency.
The expected results for 2026 could potentially be affected by the direct and indirect effects of the consequences of the ongoing wars, although historically the Group has not had significant turnover with customers located in the areas affected by the con flicts.
In this scenario, the Group will continue to work to meet its commitments and objectives, continuing to take all necessary measures to manage the direct and indirect effects of the risk factors mentioned above.

Notes to the condensed consolidated interim financial statements as at 30 June 2026 prepared in accordance with the IFRS adopted by the European
Union
Accounting policies
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") and endorsed by the European Union. IFRS also includes all revised internat ional accounting standards (“IAS”) and all interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”), formerly known as the Standing Interpretations Committee (“SIC”).
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 “Interim Financial Reporting”. These condensed interim financial statements therefore do not include all the information required by the annual financial statements and must be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements prepared for the year ended 31 December 2025.
The accounting standards adopted for the preparation of these condensed consolidated interim financial statements are the same as those adopted for the preparation of the Group's annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2025.
As part of the preparation of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements, the Parent Company's Management made assessments, estimates and assumptions that affect the values of revenues, costs and assets and liabilities and the disclosures relating to contingent assets and liabilities at the reporting date of the financial statements. It should be noted that, as these are estimates, they may differ from the actual results that may be obtained in the future.
Certain valuation processes, in particular the more complex ones such as the determination of any impairment losses on fixed assets, are carried out in full only when the year -end consolidated financial statements are prepared, when all the necessary infor mation is available, except in cases where there are indicators of impairment that require an immediate assessment of impairment.
Income taxes are recognised on the basis of the best estimate of the average rate expected for the entire financial year.
The Group's business is not subject to significant seasonal phenomena.
The limited audit of the B&C Speakers Group's condensed consolidated half -year financial statements as at 30 June 2026 is entrusted to Deloitte & Touche S.p.A.
Update on the macroeconomic situation With reference to the ongoing wars, it should be noted that the results for the first half of 2026 were not directly affected by the wars in Ukraine and the Middle East. In fact, it should be noted that historically the Group does not have significant turn over with Russian, Ukrainian or Middle Eastern customers.
The Group was only marginally affected by the indirect effects of the Russia -Ukraine conflict in terms of increased costs. In particular, since the Group's business is not particularly energy -intensive, the increase in energy costs is modest. Therefore, the overall effect on margins is in any case very limited.
In a real context of military escalation, the macroeconomic effects for 2026 introduce a further element of uncertainty that has already been reflected in the increase in energy costs. The Group's Management has not, at present, identified any imminent thr eats that could, in the short and medium term, have a significant impact on the business.
18 The Management of B&C Speakers S.p.A. is closely monitoring the evolution of the aforementioned scenario to understand any further political, economic or other implications that could impact the Company's business.
Taking into account the above, as well as the financial structure, existing liquidity, available bank credit lines and the order book as of June 2026, the Management believes that there are no significant uncertainties regarding the existence of the going concern assumption, having assessed the ability of the Parent Company and the Group to fulfil their obligations and to continue operating as a going concern for the foreseeable future.
Accounting standards, amendments and interpretations applied from 1 January 2026 The following IFRS Accounting Standards, amendments and interpretations were applied for the first time by the Group from 1 January 2026:
• On 30 May 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 some problematic aspects that emerged from the post -implementation review of IFRS 9, including the accounting treatment of financial assets whose returns vary upon the achievement of ESG objectives (i.e. green bonds). In particular, the amendments aim to:
- Clarify the classification of financial assets with variable returns linked to environmental, social and corporate governance (ESG) objectives and the criteria to be used for the assessment of the SPPI test;
- determine that the settlement date 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 specific conditions.
With these amendments, the IASB also introduced additional disclosure requirements regarding, in particular, investments in equity instruments designated at FVOCI.
The adoption of this amendment had no effect on the Group's consolidated financial statements.
• On 18 December 2024, the IASB published an amendment entitled " Contracts Referencing Nature -
dependent Electricity – Amendment to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 ". The document aims to support entities in reporting the financial effects of contracts for the purchase of electricity produced from renewable sources (often structured as Power Purchase Agreements). Under these contracts, the amount of electricity gener ated and purchased may vary based on uncontrollable factors such as weather conditions. The IASB has made targeted amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7. The amendments include:
- a clarification regarding the application of the "own use" requirements to this type of contract;
- criteria to allow the accounting of such contracts as hedging instruments; and,
- new disclosure requirements to enable users of the financial statements to understand the effect of these contracts on an entity's financial performance and cash flows.
The adoption of this amendment had no effect on the Group's consolidated financial statements.
19 • On 18 July 2024, the IASB published a document called " Annual Improvements Volume 11 ". The document includes clarifications, simplifications, corrections and changes aimed at improving the consistency of various IFRS Accounting Standards. The amended standards are:
- IFRS 1 First -time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards;
- IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures and the 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 adoption of this amendment had no effect on the Group's consolidated financial statements.
New IFRS accounting standards, amendments and interpretations endorsed by the European Union, not yet mandatorily applicable and not adopted in advance by the Group as at 30 June 2026 As of the reference 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 mandatorily applicable and have not been adopted in advance by the Group as of 30
June 2026:
• On 9 April 2024, the IASB published a new standard IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements , which will replace IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements . The new standard aims to improve the presentation of financial statement formats, with particular reference to the income statement format. In particular, the new standard requires:
- classify revenues and costs 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 format;
- present 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 some changes to the cash flow statement format, including the requirement to use operating profit as the starting point for the presentation of the cash flow statement prepared using the indirect method and the elimination of some classification options for certain currently existing items (such as interest paid, interest received, dividends paid and dividends received).
The new standard will come into force on 1 January 2027, but early application is permitted.
The directors are currently assessing the possible effects of the introduction of this new standard on the Group's consolidated financial statements.
Accounting standards, amendments and interpretations of IFRS accounting standards not yet endorsed by the European Union.
As of the reference date of this document, the competent bodies of the European Union have not yet completed the approval process necessary for the adoption of the amendments and standards described below.
• On 9 May 2024, the IASB published a new standard 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
20 reference to the disclosures required by the 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;
- its parent company prepares consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS.
The new standard will come into force on 1 January 2027, but early application is permitted. The directors do not expect a significant effect on the Group's consolidated financial statements from the adoption of this amendment.
• 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 financial position into the currency of a hyperinflationary economy;
or,
- it is converting the economic results and the financial position of a foreign operation whose functional currency is that of a non -hyperinflationary economy into the currency of a hyperinflationary economy.
The amendments will apply from the financial statements for the financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2027. The directors do not expect any effect on the Group's consolidated financial statements from the adoption of this amendment.
• On 27 May 2026, the IASB published IFRS 20 – Regulatory Assets and Regulatory Liabilities . The new standard applies to all entities subject to a specific type of tariff regulation, namely tariff regulation that creates timing differences.
The objective of the new standard is to require an entity to provide relevant information that represents the impact of income and costs arising from regulated activities on the entity's profit or loss, as well as the impact of assets and liabilities arisi ng from regulated activities on the statement of financial position. To achieve this objective, the new standard defines the requirements for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of assets, liabilities, income and costs arising from re gulated activities. Assets and liabilities arising from regulated activities constitute a subset of the rights and obligations created by a regulatory agreement. The information relating to this subset of rights and obligations enables users of the financi al statements to understand:
a) the revenues and costs arising from an entity's regulated activities, which arise from the assets and liabilities arising from regulated activities. This understanding, together with the information required by other IFRS standards, will provide guidance o n the total permitted remuneration for regulated goods or services provided by the entity in a reporting period and, consequently, on the entity's profit or loss and future cash flow prospects.
b) the assets and liabilities arising from an entity's regulated activities. This understanding will provide information on the entity's financial position at the end of a reporting period and on the amount, timing and uncertainty of the entity's future cash flows.
IFRS 20 will replace IFRS 14 – Regulatory Deferral Accounts and will enter into force on 1 January 2029, but early application is permitted.
21 The directors do not expect a significant effect on the Group's consolidated financial statements from the adoption of this standard.
• On 27 June 2026, the IASB published a document entitled "Amendments to the Fair Value Option for Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures (Amendments to IAS 28)" which clarifies which entities are eligible to measure investments in associates and joint ventures using the fair value option provided for in IAS 28. The IASB decided to develop amendments to resolve:
- the lack of clarity on the meaning of "similar entities, including unit -linked insurance funds" and on how this definition should be interpreted, in a narrow or broad sense; and,
- the different interpretations of the relationship between the scope of the fair value option in IAS 28 and the requirements of IFRS 18 relating to "specified main business activities" .
The amendments will apply at the same time as the application of IFRS 18 and therefore, starting from the financial statements for the years beginning on or after 1 January 2027. The directors do not expect a significant effect on the Group's consolidated financial statements from the adoption of these amendments.
Scope of consolidation The Half -Year Report as at 30 June 2026 prepared in accordance with IFRS includes the financial statements of the Parent Company and the companies of the B&C Speakers Group using the full consolidation method.
The companies that belong to the scope of consolidation as at 30 June 2026 are therefore the following:
With reference to the subsidiaries, there are no changes compared to the scope of consolidation as at 31 December 2025.
The exchange rates applied in the conversion of financial statements in currencies other than the euro in the first half of 2025, as at 31 December 2025 and in the first half of 2026 are shown in the following table:
Segment reporting
IFRS 8 requires operating segments to be identified on the basis of the information and internal reports used by management to allocate resources to the various operating segments and monitor their performance. The Group, based on the definition of operati ng segments made by IFRS 8, operates in a single operating segment called "acoustic transducers" as management reporting is oriented exclusively to this single segment.

(In euros)
The most significant purchases made during the period relate to the integration of machinery and production equipment at the Vallina production facilities in Reggio Emilia.
2. Rights of use The Group recognised right -of-use assets and lease liabilities, discounting the value of the lease payments due.
As at 30 June 2026, the Group has a value of Rights of Use of EUR 4,442 thousands (EUR 5,047 thousands as at 31 December 2025), composed as follows:
• Rights of use on properties for EUR 4,400 thousand, relating to medium/long -term contracts for the rental
of buildings;
• Rights of use on vehicles for EUR 42 thousands , relating to medium/long -term rental contracts for company cars.
The change that occurred in the half -year is mainly due to the effect of depreciation for the period and the addition to the company car fleet.

23 The item Goodwill shows no changes compared to 31 December 2025 and is attributable to:
(i) the consolidation of the investment in B&C Speakers NA LLC , for EUR 1,39 4 thousands ;
(ii) the consolidation of the investment in Eighteen Sound S.r.l. for EUR 924 thousands .
The value of goodwill represents the positive difference between the purchase cost and the Group's share in the current values of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the acquired entities at the acquisition date.
Goodwill is tested annually, or more frequently if specific events or changed circumstances indicate the possibility of having suffered an impairment loss, to identify any impairment, in accordance with IAS 36 -
Impairment of Assets ( impairment test ). The recoverability of the recorded values is verified by comparing the net book value of the individual cash -generating units ("CGUs") with the recoverable value (value in use). This recoverable amount is represented by the present value of the future cash flows that are estimated to derive from the continued use of the assets related to the cash -generating unit and the terminal value attributable to them.
CGU Eighteen Sound The assumptions made for the preparation of the Eighteen Sound business plan used for the impairment test carried out when preparing the annual financial statements and approved by the Board of Directors on 16 February 2026 did not undergo any significant changes during the six -month period in question, also taking into account the results recorded by th e aforementioned CGU in the first half of 2026.

The marginal interest rates defined by the Group are reviewed on a recurring basis and applied to all contracts with similar characteristics, which have been considered as a single portfolio of contracts. The rates are determined starting from the Parent C ompany's average effective borrowing rate, appropriately adjusted based on the requirements of the new accounting rules, to simulate a theoretical marginal interest rate consistent with the contracts being valued. The most significant elements considered i n the rate adjustment are the credit -risk spread of each country observable on the market and the different duration of the lease agreements. The leasing contracts do not include covenants.
15. Provisions relating to personnel and similar The item includes the liability accrued in relation to the Employee Severance Indemnity Fund and the liability accrued for the Directors' Termination Indemnity.
For the purpose of recognising the Employee Severance Indemnity Fund, the financial -actuarial value of the liability was recalculated for each employee in order to recognise a liability similar to that arising in defined benefit pension plans, in accordanc e with the provisions of IAS 19. This provision is shown net of advances paid and settlements made following resignations during the period under review.
The present value of the liability for severance indemnities in accordance with the provisions of IAS 19 is EUR 328 thousands (EUR 317 thousands as at 31 December 2025).
The technical and economic bases used for the valuation of the severance indemnity are shown below:
With regard to the discount rate, the IBoxx Corporate AA index for June 2026 with a duration of 7 to 10 years was taken as a reference for the valuation (in line with the average length of service of the group being valued).
In compliance with the provisions of IAS 19, the following tables provide:
- a sensitivity analysis for each relevant actuarial assumption at the end of the period, showing the effects that would have occurred as a result of changes in the actuarial assumptions reasonably possible at that date, in absolute terms;
- indication of the contribution for the following year;
- an indication of the average financial duration of the obligation for defined benefit plans.

The impact of the cost of sales on revenues remained substantially stable compared to the same period in 2025, rising from 62.2% to 62.5%. This trend is due to: (i) a recovery in margins on the variable part of the cost of sales, which ensured a recovery o f approximately 0.9 points in margins compared to the first half of the previous year, (ii) a slight contraction in margins of 0.8 points due to the increase in the incidence of personnel costs, and (iii) an increase in the incidence of costs for duties an d transport, which led to a loss in margins of approximately 0.6 percentage points.

37 34. Information on financial risks The Group's activities are exposed to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including foreign exchange risk and price risk), credit risk, interest rate risk and liquidity risk. The strategy adopted by the Group regarding the management of financial ri sks is based on the impossibility of being able to influence external markets and consequently the strategy adopted focuses on trying to reduce the negative effects on the Group's financial performance.
Foreign exchange risk The Group operates internationally and is therefore exposed to exchange rate risk arising from the trend in exchange rates for foreign currencies, mainly the US dollar, the Canadian dollar and the Brazilian real; the exchange rate risk will manifest itself through future transactions; the Group does not carry out any specific hedging of this risk except for seeking, in the long term, to rebalance the flows of sales and purchases, especially in the dollar area.
Credit risk
The Group does not have significant concentrations of credit risk as the strategy adopted is aimed at placing trust in customers with a favourable credit rating. For the riskiest or least known positions, payment is required in advance of delivery.
Despite the persistence of a disrupted macroeconomic situation, at the date of preparation of this half -yearly financial report, there are no situations of significant non -performing loans. However, it cannot be ruled out that this may happen in the future .
Finally, there are no significant exposures to Russian or Ukrainian customers.
Interest rate risk The Group has no outstanding financial assets or liabilities of such a magnitude as to significantly affect the Group's profitability. Therefore, although the Group is not significantly affected by interest rate trends, management has equipped itself with adequate instruments to hedge the risk of interest rate fluctuations, in particular on certain medium - to long -term loans, by entering into "Collar" derivative contracts. For more details in this regard, please refer to the detailed description in Note 14.
Liquidity risk
As at 30 June 2026, the Group has a negative Net Financial Position of EUR 4.7 million (negative by EUR 0.2 million as at 31 December 2025). This is the result of a positive current NFP of approximately EUR 11.4 million (positive by EUR 12.9 million as at 31 December 2025) and non -current financial debt of EUR 16.2 million (EUR 13.2 million as at 31 December 2025). For the characteristics of the loans in question, please refer to Note 13.
The Group believes that the short - and medium/long -term credit lines and the funds currently in place, in addition to those that will be generated by operating activities, will enable it to meet its needs and fulfil its obligations related to investment ac tivities, the management of working capital and the repayment of debts at their contractual maturity.
35. Hierarchical levels of fair value measurement In relation to financial instruments recognised in the statement of financial position at fair value, IFRS 7 requires that these values be classified on the basis of a hierarchy of levels that reflects the significance of the inputs used in determining the fair value. The following levels are distinguished:
level 1: quoted prices in an active market for the asset or liability being measured;
level 2: inputs other than the quoted prices referred to in the previous point, which are directly (prices) or indirectly (derived from prices) observable on the market;
level 3: inputs that are not based on observable market data.
38 The following table shows the assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value as at 30 June 2026, by hierarchical level of fair value measurement:
It is specified that, compared to 31 December 2025, there have been no changes between the hierarchical levels of fair value.
The Group measures its financial assets and liabilities at amortised cost, with the exception of asset management shown under other current assets and Collar hedging contracts , which are measured at fair value through profit and loss.
36. Subsequent events At the date of preparation of this half -yearly report, there have been no further events occurring after 30 June 2026 that would require additional notes to this half -yearly report.
37. Authorisation for publication This document was published on 10 September 2026 with the authorisation of the Chief Executive Officer.
