OTHER INFORMATION
As of 1 January 2026, the shareholders' agreements in force between the companies Fiera Milano Congressi SpA and MiCo DMC Srl were amended, as a result of which Fiera Milano Congressi SpA assumed control of MiCo DMC Srl.
Following this change, the company is no longer classified as a joint venture but as a subsidiary, in accordance with IFRS 10 – Consolidated Financial Statements . Accordingly, the investment, previously accounted for using the equity method in accordance with IFRS 11, is fully consolidated line by line from the date control was acquired.
The full consolidation of Mico DMC Srl resulted in an increase in consolidated revenues of approximately Euro 7.2 million, in addition to the related effects on the other main economic and financial indicators of the Group.
On 29 January 2026, Fiera Milano SpA made a capita l contribution of Euro 1.4 million to the newly established company Fiera Milano Asia Pacific as part of the Group's international development strategy.
The new company will strengthen the Group's presen ce in Asian markets and develop new exhibition platforms dedicated to design and the creative industries. Fiera Milano Asia Pacific will organise FIND – Design Fair Asia, the international event dedicated to design and furniture, which will take place in Thailand for the first time from 26 to 28 November 2026 in Bangko k at the Queen Sirikit National Convention Center exhibition site, opening a new chapter in the international development of the exhibition.
On 22 April 2026, the Ordinary Shareholders’ M eeting of the Parent Co mpany was held, which approved the financial statements as at 31 December 2025 and resolved: to distribute a gross ordinary dividend of Euro 0.25 per eligible ordinary share from the amount of the profit for the year 2025, carrying forward the amount of the year's profit remaining after the above di stribution.

Main sustainability initia tives of the half year During the semester, Fiera Milano ranked among the top ten Italian listed companies in the ESG Identity Corporate Index 2026, promoted by ET.Group / ETicaNews, achieving one of the highest scores in the entire index and obtaining the recognition of ‘Top ESG Performer’. The index assesses the ability of listed companies to structurally inte grate environmental, social and governance factors 11
into their business models, decision-making processes and management systems. The result represents a further advance in the Group's sustainability path compared to the first place obtained in 2025 among Italian Small Cap companies and confirms the progressive strengthening of Fiera Milano's positioning within a broader and more competitive benchmark, extended to the entire market of Italian listed companies.
It should be remembered that the Group’s activities are typically seasonal with regard to recurring trade exhibitions or those held every two years. Mo reover, the absence of exhibitions in August and the presence of exhibitions from September onwa rds make a comparison of the financial figures between the first and second halves of the year me aningless. Given the seasonality of the business, the revenues and results of one half-year cannot be extrapolated for the full year.

Revenues from sales and services totalled Euro 245,728 thousand, an increase of approximately Euro 67,858 thousand compared to the figure for the same half of the previous financial year (Euro 177,870 thousand).
The change in revenues is mainly related to the XXV Olympic Winter Games Milano Cortina 2026, both for the use of the venue and for the construction of temporary infrastructure at the Rho exhibition site, and for the use of the Milan venue designated for th e Main Media Centre. It is also affected by the more favourable exhibition calendar , linked to the presence, in even years, of the biennial exhibition hosted by Mostra Convegno Expocomfort and the ex hibition organised by Transpotec & Logitec. The increase in revenues deriving from logistics and set-up se rvices, resulting from the acquisition of the Expotrans Group in the second quarter of 2025 and of Stipa SpA in the first quarter of 2026, as well as the increase in revenues attributable to the fu ll consolidation of MiCo DMC Srl from 1 January 2026, also contribute to the growth.
Below are the performance numbers for exhibition space in Italy and abroad and the changes in terms of square metres compared to the previous six months:
-
Annual exhibitions organised by the Group in Italy (-11,305 sqm): the decrease is mainly attributable to the absence of the Raquet Trend Expo exhibition (-11,410 sqm).
- Annual exhibitions organised by third parties in Italy (-11,235 sqm): the decrease is mainly due to the Lineapelle February exhibition (-10,120 sqm).
- Congresses with related exhibition areas : these saw a change of rented space of -16,597 square metres.
- Biannual exhibitions organised by the Group in Italy (48,215 sqm): The increase is mainly attributable to the presence in the half-year under review of the Transpotec & Logitec (+54,905 sqm) and NME (+6,975 sqm) exhibitions, and to the absence of Print4all (-12,525 sqm).
- Biennial exhibitions organise d by third parties in Italy (+42,695 sqm): the increase is mainly due to the combined effect of th e exhibitions held in the half year under review such as Mostra Convegno Expocomfort (+82,975 sqm) and the abse nce of the exhibitions Made in Steel (-20,130 sqm), Lamiera (-19,040 sqm) and ISSA Pulire (-14,100 sqm).
- Multi-annual exhibitions organised by third parties in Italy (-29,950 sqm): the decrease refers to the absence in the half-year under review of the event ‘The Innovation Alliance’ (-63,830 sqm) and the presence of Plast (+39,860).
- Annual exhibitions of the Group abroad (-2,995 square metres): the square meters are in line with those of the same period of 2025.

The table below gives a summary of the net square metres of exhibition space occupied by the various Fiera Milano Group exhibitions and by cong resses with related exhibition space.
EBITDA for the half-year was Euro 94,013 thousand comp ared to a figure of Euro 63,093 thousand in the same period of the previous financial year, an increase of Euro 30,920 thousand.
The change reflects the already no ted positive revenue performance and was partially offset by the increase in overheads and personnel costs relating to the new acquisitions of the Expotrans Group and Stipa, completed in the second quarter of 2025 and the first quarter of 2026 respectively.
EBIT for the half-year is Euro 67,132 thousand compared to Euro 37,541 thousand for the same period in 2025. The increase amounted to Euro 29,591 th ousand and mainly reflects the performance of EBITDA, partially offset by higher depreciation.
Financial management shows a nega tive balance of Euro 4,051 thou sand, compared to a negative value of Euro 5,825 thousand in 2025. The positive change of Euro 1,774 thousand is mainly due to bank interest income on liquidity loans, the increase in the fair value of units in ESG mutual funds and the reduction in financial expenses related to right-of-use assets.

Profit/(loss) before tax is Euro 64,600 thousand compared to Eu ro 31,716 thousand in the first half of 2025. The increase amounted to Euro 32,884 thou sand and mainly reflected the trend in EBIT and the positive change in financial management.
Income tax for the half-year period of Euro 13,928 th ousand (Euro 8,585 thousand in the first half of 2025) was recognised by applying the estimated annual average tax ra te (tax rate method) to the profit/(loss) before tax of the individual consolidated companies.
Net profit (loss) for the half-year of Euro 50,672 thousand (Euro 23,131 thousand in the first half of 2025) is for Euro 49,476 thousand attributable to the Shareholders of the Parent Company (Euro 22,876 thousand in the first half of 2025) and for 1,196 thousand attributable to non-controlling interests (Euro 255 thousand in the first half of 2025).

Non-current assets as at 30 June 2026 amounted to Euro 512,843 thousand compared to Euro 503,465 thousand as at 31 December 2025. The increase of Euro 9,378 thousand mainly relates to the goodwill of the newly acquir ed companies Stipa SpA (Euro 11,645 thousand) and Made in Steel Srl (Euro 8,785 thousand). This effect was partially offset by the amortisation of right-of-use assets relating to leased assets.
Net working capital went from Euro -135,257 thousand at 31 December 2025 to Euro -93,516 thousand at 30 June 2026. The increase of Euro 41,741 thousand is mainly attributable to the following:
(a) increase in Current assets of Euro 24,307 thousand, due to the increase of the item ‘Inventories and contracts in progress’ fo r Euro 2,045 thousand and ‘Trade and other receivables’ for Euro 22,262 thousand. The change is mainly related to the increase in the item ‘Trade and other receivables’ and is mainly attributable to the expansion of the scope of consolidation, resulting from the acquisition of the companies Stipa SpA and MiCo DMC Srl, the latter fully consolidated from 1 January 2026 , as well as the increase in receivables not yet collected from Fondazione Milano Cortina (b) decrease in Current liabilities of Euro 17,434 thousand, mainly due to:
• decrease in the ‘Trade payables’ item of Euro 7,301 thousand, mainly relating to the payment of amounts due to suppliers of events falling due;
• increase in the item ‘Advances’ for Euro 1, 183 thousand as the balance between increases for advances invoiced to customers for exhibi t i o n s t o b e h e l d i n s u b s e q u e n t p e r i o d s ( i n particular Host and Expodetergo International) and decreases for exhibitions held in the current half-year (in particular Mostra Convegno Expocomfort);
• an increase in ‘Provisions for risks and charges and other current liabilities’ of Euro 10,788 thousand, relating mainly to the release of deferred income arising from contracts for the use of the venue for the organisation of the XX V Olympic Winter Games Milano Cortina 2026.
This effect was partially offset by the increase in the debt to the Foundation for tax consolidation.
At 30 June 2026, non-current liabilities totalled Euro 17,835 thousand compared to Euro 17,544 thousand at 31 December 2025.
Equity attributable to the Group at 30 June 2026 was Euro 197,097 thousand compared to Euro 181,291 thousand at 31 December 2025, an increase of Euro 15,806 thousand due to the following:
- Euro 49,476 thousand as to the net result for the period;
- Euro -17,936 thousand to the distribution of dividends;
- Euro -13,975 thousand relating to the put option associated with the acquisition of Stipa SpA;
- Euro -2,143 thousand to the stock grant reserve;
- Euro 129 thousand for the purchase of treasury shares;
- Euro 346 thousand for exchan ge rate differences;
- Euro -91 thousand to other comp onents of comprehensive income.
Equity attributable to non-controlling interests amounted to Euro 7,116 thousand as at 30 June 2026 compared to Euro 5,450 thousand as at 31 De cember 2025, with an increase of Euro 1,666 thousand attributable to:
- Euro 1,196 thousand as to the net result for the period;
- Euro -931 thousand to the distribution of dividends;
- Euro 791 thousand to the change in th e accounting method of MiCo DMC;
- Euro 521 thousand to the acquisition of Stipa SpA;
- Euro 101 thousand to the acquisit ion of Made in Steel Srl;
- Euro 6 thousand for exchange rate differences;
- Euro - 18 thousand to Other components of comprehensive income.
The Group’s financial debt and its composition is shown in the table below.
18
The Group’s financial debt not including IFRS 16 lease liability at 30 June 2026 showed net cash of Euro 109,366 thousand compared to net cash of Euro 157,244 thousand at 31 December 2025, thereby recording a decrease of Euro 47,878 thousand.
The decrease is mainly related to the corporate acquisitions completed during the half-year under review and the payment of dividends and was partially offset by the positive cash flow generated by operating activities during the period.
Financial debt, including IFRS 16 lease liabilities, tota lled Euro 197,279 thousand, an increase of Euro 33,356 thousand compared to Euro 163, 923 thousand at 31 December 2025.

Revenues from sales and services at 30 June 2026 before elimin ation of transactions among the business segments of the Group were Euro 256,234 thousand, of which 71% was generated by Italian Exhibitions Business, 2% by Foreign Exhibitions Business, 19% in the Congresses sector and 8% in the Other sectors.
Revenues from the Italian Exhibitions Business were Euro 182,366 thousand, an increase of approximately Euro 44,988 thousand compared to the figure for th e same half of the previous year (Euro 137,378 thousand). The change in re venues is mainly related to the XXV Olympic Winter Games Milano Cortina 2026, both for the use of the venue and for the construction of temporary infrastructure at the Rho exhibition si te, and for the use of the Milan venue designated for the Main Media Centre. It is also affected by the more favourable exhibition calendar, linked to the presence, in even years, of the biennial exhibition hosted by Most ra Convegno Expocomfort and the exhibition organised by Transpotec & Lo gitec. The increase in revenues from set-up services resulting from the acquis ition of Stipa SpA in the first qu arter of 2026 also contributes to the growth.
- Revenues from the Foreign Exhibitions Business amounted to Euro 5,634 thousand, increasing by Euro 1,301 thousand over the same half of the previous year (Euro 4,333 thousand). Revenues for the half-year under review relate mainly to the Exposec event organised by the Brazilian subsidiary.
- Revenues from Congresses amounted to Euro 47,926 thousand, increasing by Euro 10,311 thousand over the same half of the previous year (Euro 37,615 thousand). The increase is mainly attributable to the revenues of the subsidiary MiCo DMC, which changed from equity consolidation to full consolidation as of 1 January 2026.
- Revenues from Other sectors amounted to Euro 20,308 thousand and showed an increase of Euro 13,348 thousand compared to the same half of the previous year (Euro 6,960 thousand).
This change is mainly attributable to the inclusion of the Expotrans Group in the scope of consolidation at the end of April 2025, whose contribution to half-year revenue was limited to just two months.
The breakdown by segment of the EBITDA of Euro 94,013 thousand, which compared to Euro 63,093 thousand in the same period of the pr evious financial year, was as follows:
- Italian Exhibitions Business : recorded an EBITDA of Euro 70, 266 thousand compared to Euro 49,367 thousand in the same period of the previous financial year . EBITDA reflects the aforementioned revenue performance and was partially offset by the increase in structural costs and personnel costs related to the new acquisition of Stipa.
- Foreign Exhibitions Business : EBITDA of Euro 1,935 thousand compared to Euro 1,727 thousand in the same period of the previous financial ye ar. The positive change of Euro 208 thousand is mainly attributable to the result of the joint venture held under joint control with the partner Deutsche MESSE AG.
- Congresses : EBITDA was Euro 19,675 thousand, compared to Euro 11,045 thousand in the same half of 2025. The half-yearly change of Euro 8,63 0 thousand is mainly attributable to the revenue of Fiera Milano Congressi SpA, largely linked to the venue used for the Olympic Games, which generates high profit margins.
Other sectors : recorded an EBITDA of Euro 2,137 thousa nd compared to Euro 954 thousand in the same period of the previous year and derives from what has already been shown in revenues.
The EBIT of the three operating segments totalled Euro 67,132 thousand compared to Euro 37,541 thousand in the same period of the previous year.
The breakdown by geographic area in the first half shows revenues from fore ign activities of Euro 5,634 thousand compared to Euro 4,331 thousand in the same period of the previous year. EBITDA was Euro 1,887 thousand, compared to the figure fo r the first half of the previous year (Euro 1,724 thousand) whilst EBIT was Euro 1, 842 thousand compared to an EBIT of Euro 1,679 thousand for the same period of the previous year.

Main risk factors affecting the Group
Risk management in the Fiera Milano Group Fiera Milano adopts a structured and integrated process for the analysis and management of risks and opportunities at Group level, which is inspired by internationally recognised standards in the field of Enterprise Risk Manageme nt (hereinafter, ‘ERM’).
The general objective of an Ente rprise Risk Manageme nt system, according to internationally recognised reference models, is to provide the Mana gement and the Board of Directors of the company with relevant information on risk and opportunity factors, which ar e able to support the taking of informed decisions when defining objectives and strategies and monitoring performance, based not only on expected returns but also on the underlying risk profile.
Based on a risk mapping method that directly invo lves the Group’s management in their capacity as risk owners, the ERM process assist s in the assessment, definition and planning of company objectives and strategies, as well as the correct implementation of the following activities through their integration in company planning and management processes:
• Systematic and proactive identification of the main risks and opportunities (strategic, operational, financial and compliance) to which the Group is exposed and, within this framework, the individual comp anies under its control;
• assessment of the potential impacts and the pr obability of occurrence of the risks and
opportunities identified;
• analysis of the risk management system on the identified risk/opportunity factors, i.e. the level of control in place in terms of risk mitigati on actions (e.g. at co ntractual, insurance, organisational/procedure level, etc.) or of enhancement of opportunities; Permanent employees at period end 31/12/25 (units) 30/06/26 30/06/25 Total ItalyFor e ign countries Fully consolidated companies: Total ItalyForeign countries Total ItalyForeign

• definition and monitoring of the implementation of risk response consistent with the level of residual risk (net of risk mitigation actions) , taking into account the group risk appetite guidance.
The results of the periodic update of the ERM mappi ng are periodically reported to the Control and Risk Committee, the Boar d of Statutory Auditors and the Board of Directors, and are used by the Internal Audit Department as useful information for the preparation of th e annual risk-based audit plan.
The Risk Management Function, which is ensured the provision of adequate professionalism and resources necessary for the performance of its tasks, guarantees the definition, operation and updating of the ERM Model. The Risk Management function operates according to the provisions of the ERM guidelines – Risk and Opportunity Management, approved by the Board of Directors in December 2025.
These guidelines describe the ERM model adopted by the Fiera Milano Group, and are drawn up in compliance with the architecture of the Internal Audit and Risk Management System (ICRMS) of the Fiera Milano Group.
The ERM Guidelines define the methodological and process approach adopted by Fiera Milano for the mapping and management of events, whether risks or opportunities, that may influence the pursuit of the Fiera Milano Group's economic-financial and su stainability objectives, summarised in the Fiera Milano Group's multi-year Strategic Plan. The main risk factors to which the Fiera Mila no Group is exposed, as discerned from the aforementioned process, are descri bed below. This takes into account the business sector in which it operates and the characteri stics of the business model it uses. An account of Group policies to manage and mitigate the risks described is given.
1. Risks related to extern al and strategic factors Risks related to the macroeconomic and geopolitical environment and trends and competition in the exhibition sector The Group's financial results are dependent on the in vestments planned by its customers at exhibitions, congresses and related services, which in turn are in fluenced by trends in their various economies, primarily the Italian economy and that of the EU. Mo reover, the Group is exposed to the risk that its leadership of the domestic market may be affected by tougher competition or by the entry of new operators, which could have a negative impact on the Group’s market position.
Geopolitical risks are sign ificantly high, given the persistence of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict and the recent war in the Middle East with the attack on Ir an and the involvement of the Gulf countries, with the consequent energy shock and th e hiccups of traffic passing throug h the logistics hub of the Strait of Hormuz; almost five months after the beginning of the hostilities, there are no significant impacts on the Group's business, as the main business KPIs have so far not shown si gns of deterioration. A separate chapter concerns the Trump administration's policy on trade tariffs; the United States is the second largest market after Germany for Italian ex ports, which are largely based on the so-called ‘Made in Italy' sectors, including agribusiness, fa shion and mechanics, whose performance is therefore potentially affected by the US administration's trad e tariff policy. The exhibitions represented in these sectors, both by third parties and by property owne rs, produce significant port ions of Fiera Milano's revenues and margins. Despite this, Italian exports in 2025 and in the first part of 2026 showed a certain resilience, in contrast to the rest of the EU , continuing to grow, with pharmaceutical, agri-food and precious metals as sectors that performed bette r and textile-clot hing, furniture and instrumental mechanics as commodities that suffered the most. At present, there are no particular negative repercussions on the performanc e of the fairs concerned.
The Italian exhibition sector continues to play in instrumental role in industrial policy, particularly as around 50% of exports by domestic SMEs are generated from exhibition activity each year according to data from the reference Italian Exhibition and Trade Fair Association (AEFI). However, the exhibition market remains a mature market, with high barrier s to entry and investment concentrated towards the biggest events with the highest international appeal. Fiera Milano is facing an increased level of competition in the exhibition sector, with particular reference to the European and national context, 26
worsened in recent years by repositioning in the ex hibition calendar and consequent overlaps between competing events, brought about by the pandemic, and, more recently, by the intense M&A activity of the main operators. The exhibition market in Italy is increasing ly polarised by the major players: the market share of the leading 4 operators (Milan, Bolo gna, Rimini and Verona) is steadily greater than 50%; such players seek growth oppo rtunities through partnerships and M&A transactions, also abroad.
In this context, the Group is dedicated to foll owing strategic lines dictated by the 2024-2027 Plan: (i) strengthening the portfolio of own exhibitions, in particular by consolidating the leadership of Host, investing in the growth of B2B exhibitions and launc hing new exhibitions in at tractive sectors during the period; (ii) attracting international events to the Milan area through agreements with leading operators; (iii) expanding the congress business by optimi sing the use of space and attracting new international conferences and large corporate events; (iv) becoming an integrated service provider, also through the acquisition of companies operating in sectors adjacent to the core business (e.g., stand fittings, logistics), thus co vering the value chain of the exhibition and congress business (v) developing the entertainment business, both ind oor and outdoor, with sports and music events.
Cyclical nature and seasonality of the exhibition and congress industry Organising and hosting exhibitions, exhibitions and congresses is, by its nature , subject to seasonality and demand cyclicality, both of which are particularly relevant to the Italian and European markets.
Indeed, they are characterised by the almost total absence of exhibitions in the summer months, and by the presence of biennial and multi-annual exhibiti ons. This seasonality has a significant effect on the annual spread of Group revenues and profits and ex poses it to the risk that use of the exhibition and congress facilities is sub-optimal in te rms of reaching expect ed profitability.
The management's current strategy, also based on (i) attracting events of international scope to the Milanese site through agreements with leading operators (ii) expanding conference activities and (iii) developing the entertainment business, which will lead to the occupation of spaces for music and sports events in periods of 'negative' calendar, wi ll allow, in perspective, for greater stability in revenues and margins both during the year and between even and odd years. Specifically, in 2026 the cyclicality dynamic is less accentuated in relation to the change of frequency of Tuttofood (now in even years) and the presence of multi-year and trav elling events of international importance, such as CPHI and Plast.
Risks related to the dependency of Group companies on the exhibition and congress
business
The dependence of some Group companies in the ex hibition and congress busi ness is significant, in particular, Nolostand SpA and Mico DMC Srl, which have businesses that continue to be for a large part dependent on the exhibition and congress portfolio of the Group.
To address this dependency and the inherent risk s it poses to the busine ss of the aforementioned companies, the Group has implemente d some measures to mitigate the potential negative effects on its consolidated results.
Mico DMC is engaged in the development of non-captive business lines, such as corporate events and the proposition of new DMC services (e.g. registration services, entry visa management). For Nolostand SpA, this risk factor is ingrained in the organi sational operating model the Group has selected and adopted for Nolostand SpA, whose operations are nearly entirely captive in relation to the exhibition and congress business. In any case, the company is committed by the 2024-2027 Strategic Plan to the development of a business line for ‘out-of-venue’ orders.
Raw material (energy) and labour price risk The conflict in the Middle East between the US and Iran, which began in March 2026 and re-exploded in the first half of July after a brief truce signed in mid-June, has triggered new tensions on the price of energy, suggesting risk mitigation actions by the Group. In this regard, the Group benefits from the potential of the photovoltaic system in the Rho exhibi tion site, with a total capacity of 18 Mwh, able to guarantee 30-35% of the total energy needs. Fo r approximately another third of the 2026 energy 27
needs, the company implemented forward purchases of electricity from its provider at fixed prices during the six-month period , thus limiting the negative effect of any further increases in the market price.
For other raw materials such as wood (used for th e panels of the stands) and polymers (used for graphics, signage, fabrics and carpet ), there were no particular upward dynamics during the half-year.
On the other hand, there were tariff increases during the renewal of some contracts with a high incidence of labour, managed with a % increase not far from the inflation rate.
2. Operational risks related to processes and organisation Climate change - Physical risks and transition risks The Fiera Milano Group recognises the growing importance of climate change challenges and integrates these aspects into its development stra tegy. The Group adopts a systematic method to identify, analyse and address climate risks, both phys ical and transition-related. In this context, the Fiera Milano Group periodically carries out analyses to assess the potential impact of these risks on its operational activities.
As far as physical risks are concerned, the analysis examines the venues in which exhibition and conference events are hosted and organised, the su pport facilities (warehou ses) and some physical facilities managed by suppliers of strategic importance (e.g. da tacentres). The objective is to understand the impacts and possible mitigation actions of extreme weather events, which can be sudden, such as storms, fires and floods, or gradua l, such as rising average temperatures, prolonged heat waves and persistent droughts. The methodolog ical approach is based on globally recognised climate models, including those developed by the In tergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), which outline different future scenarios based on greenhouse gas emissions.
Specifically, three reference scenario s are considered: an optimistic one (RCP2.6), in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement to limit global warming to 1.5 °C by the end of the century; an intermediate one (RCP4.5); and one characterised by high emi ssions (RCP8.5), reflecting a development without significant carbon footprint reduction measures. This assessment allows the Group to plan effective strategies to deal with the potential impacts of climate change and ensure the resilience of its operations. Analyses are conducted considering thr ee different time horizons: the short term (2-5 years), with a focus on immediate impacts and actions needed to ensure business continuity and resilience; the medium term (5-10 ye ars), to assess the effects of climate change with respect to global sustainability goals and the evolut ion of the regulatory framework; and the long term (more than 10 years), with a focus on structural re silience and strategies to address the challenges of global warming.
The analysis showed that the level of exposure to cl imate risks for the Fiera Mila no's assets is generally low, with the exception of some ex hibition sites located in China, such as Guangzhou, Dongguan and Shenzhen, which are related to the JV affiliate wi th Deutsche Messe, which are exposed to extreme rainfall and potential flooding. The valuation of pr operty damage confirmed, in the short term, a non-
significant financial impact on all sites. In the sa me way, the possible econ omic damage, associated with lost revenues due to business interruptions caus ed by extreme weather events, in the short term was assessed as not material, i.e. below the economic-financial materiality threshold established by the Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) framework. In the long term, however, elements of uncertainty remain, as Fiera Milano's assets co uld be subject to physical risks with potentially material impacts.
However, to deal with the repercussions of events of the type described, the Group has implemented a Business Continuity Management framework. This includes a Crisis Management Plan and a series of business continuity procedures that outline the operational responses to be enacted during crises, including situations involving asset unavailability.
As regards maintenance, work was carried out on the exhibition structures, such as (i) re-roofing of the exhibition halls, in preparation for the installati on of photovoltaic panels, with improvement of the thermal seal and reduction of water infiltration (ii) renovation of the downpipes and eaves of the halls (iii) installation of monitoring sensors.
28
In addition, the Group has adequate PDBI in surance cover (Property Damage and Business Interruption) as part of the Group All Risks Property policy.
In the context of transition risks, Fiera Milano faces challenges related to regulatory developments, investor expectations and changes in the market, wh ich is increasingly focussed on sustainable models.
The analysis of transition risks is based on the forecast scenarios de veloped by the International Energy Agency (IEA) and the IPCC, which include the path to Net Zero by 2050, policies currently in place and commitments announced by governments. These scenarios outline possible decarbonisation trajectories and their implicat ions for corporate strategy.
Technological transformation is also a relevant aspe ct for Fiera Milano, as the adoption of innovative solutions is essential to maintain competitiveness and resilience in the long run. Specifically, climate change poses significant ch allenges in the medium to long term for photovoltaic systems and exhibition infrastructures, as rising temperatures and the increasing frequency of extreme weather events can reduce operational efficiency, accelerate componen t wear and tear, and increase maintenance costs.
Technological obsolescence represents a further ri sk, as the failure to im plement advanced solar panels, thermally managed cooling systems and extreme weather resistant technologies could undermine competitiveness and increase operating expenses. To mitigate these risks, Fiera Milano is testing innovative solutions concerning the implementation of predictive monitoring systems, energy storage and microgrids, with the aim of further improving energy efficiency and increasing the resilience of exhibition infrastructures.
Among the transition risks mapped by Fiera Milano, the one that stands out is that linked to the product sectors represented by the exhibi tion and congress events hosted and organised by the Group.
Significant portions of revenues and related margin s come from exhibition and conference events related to sectors potentially impacted in the medi um to long term by the climate transition. For example, sectors such as fashion, transport, chemicals and automotive present a high risk of transition, requiring investments in circular economy, sustai nable materials and decarbonisation. This dynamic represents a challenge, but also a strategic opportunity to anticipate market needs and strengthen leadership.
To address these risks and capitalise on the opportunities, Fiera Milano has developed the 2024-2027 strategic plan in which decarbonisation takes ce ntre stage among its sust ainability objectives, integrating climate risks into its long-term strategies to strengthen operational resilience.
Risks from terrorist attacks and social unrest The exhibition and congress sites managed by Fiera Mi lano Group are considered a target at risk of potential terrorist attacks or social unrest, given the high number of people that may be present at peak exhibitions and the consequent media attention that events of this nature would attract. A further element of attention related to the recent outbreak of conflict in the Middle East should be noted in this regard. The possible negative repercussions include damage to structures, people and the consequent inability to continue operating. For risk mitigation measures, the Group has long main tained an effective securi ty system for managing access; in particular, following the instructions of and in cooperation with the competent authorities, it has increased the level of security and access control in the exhibition areas by introducing airport-style security checks (baggage scanners and metal detectors for people at the access points), preventative clearance measures conducted in all areas in collaboration with the law enforcement agencies, and protecti on of the pedestrian areas using road bl ocks and new jerseys to prevent vehicle access.
During the first half of 2026, the revamping project of CCTV systems was also largely completed, which aims to raise the level of security on its perimeter through the use of high-resolution cameras and advanced monitoring systems. Finally, at the insurance level, the Group’s third- party liability policy includes cover for damages resulting from acts of terrorism, as does the ‘all risks – property’ policy, which includes cover for damages resulting from acts of terrorism and a se ction on indirect damages – Business Interruption, which covers the loss of profits resulting fr om a claim of the type mentioned above.
Risks related to the launch and repositioning of exhibitions and the loss of key events 29
Despite the considerable number of events organised and hosted at th e Rho exhibition site, the use of a considerable part of the exhibition space, and the related revenues and margins, is linked to a limited number of specific events, both organised and host ed (e.g. Salone del Mobile, Eicma Moto, Mostra Convegno Expocomfort, MICAM, Host , Linea Pelle, Tuttofood, Milano Un ica). Therefore, it is possible that these events could record a negative performanc e, which would affect their continuity over time, or that they could move (for hosted events) to ot her exhibition sites, with a consequent negative impact on the Group’s results.
To address these uncertainties, the Group has drawn up plans of action with a view to reducing its risk exposure. In terms of its hosted ex hibitions, the Group has always pu rsued a policy of renewing hosting agreements with third-party organisers in the medium to long-term, with the aim of consolidating the visibility of its exhibitions portfolio as much as possible in the years to come.
Transactions have also been en tered into (e.g.: acquisition of shares, management of the organisational secretariat) with third-party organise rs of hosted exhibitions, e.g. (i) co-management of MILANO GAMES WEEK with Fandango (ii) entry in to the capital of Fiere di Parma with 18.5% (iii) acquisition of 25% of the Artigiano in Exhibition from GE.FI. (iv) acquisition of 35% of Milano AutoClassica and Vicenza Classic Car Show (v) acquis ition in the first half of 2026 of 70% of the Made in Steel exhibition. Finally, the Group’s management implements a st rategy to develop new exhibitions (e.g. Next Mobility Exhibition, NetZero Milan) and to attract incoming events of international significance (e.g. GASTECH, CPHI and ITMA) to th e Milan exhibition site through agreements with leading operators.
Furthermore, with regard to the weak situation se en in the recent past in terms of the reference markets - or of some segments - there appears to be a need to reposition several own exhibitions (e.g.: Milano Home + Quick & More, which succeed HOMI), for which actions such as changes in format, changes of dates and/or location, spin-off or insertion of new product sectors have been implemented, in whole or in part, with consequent greater exposure to the risk of under-performance of these events with related repercussions on the expected results, both in the short and medium-long term. This risk is mitigated thro ugh the engagement of new skills in the Business Unit teams and the activity of the Strategic Marketing function, able to support, through analysis of the competitive scenario and evolution of market trends, the busi ness units in the development of repositioning projects.
Dependence on suppliers Fiera Milano makes intensive use of its service provider operations, so much so that the Group’s ability to host and organise exhibition s and congresses depends on the re gular operation of the suppliers involved in the main processes (cleaning, carpet laying, equipment, logistic s, maintenance, energy, surveillance, etc.). For some of these product categories, for technical and management reasons, the current supplier is the only one contracted (security, logistics), so that an accidental failure of one of these operators would entail a risk of loss of profit due to the interruption, even temporary, of the exhibition activity, as the Grou p would not be able to replace the supplier immediately, with repercussions also of a reputational nature.
To deal with this type of risk, the Group purchasing function has a policy of dividing each single service among multiple suppliers and different contractual te rms, using a number of operators for each product category, to avoid dependence on single suppliers for any given service. In addition, where possible, for the most important operations services, the suppliers contracted for the Rho site and the MICO Congress Centre are different. The group has established a Business Continuity Management framework, which includes a Crisis Management Plan and a suite of business continuity procedures.
These procedures dictate the operational responses to be enacted during crisis situations, encompassing scenarios that involve the unavailability of critical suppliers.
It should finally be noted that a ‘dependence on suppl iers and subcontractors’ clause is included in the Group’s All Risks Property policy, wh ich covers claims that affect a supplier and/or subcontractor and cause an interruption of the supplier’s activity.
Cyber risk
30
Cyber attacks can cause delays in business dealings, a temporary or prolonged interruption to activities, the loss of data, personal data breach es with relative requests for compensation, with potential financial and reputational harm; To be noted, in the genera l context of evolving cyber risk, is (i) the use by pro-Russi an hacker groups of highly sophistica ted tools to support cyber-intelligence and cyber-warfare activities (ii) the increasingly ma ssive use of Artificial Intelligence as an attack vector, which constitutes a factor aggravating the risk.
To address these potential critical issues, th e Group has developed a number of procedural, organisational and technical controls, as outlined below:
(i) ICT/Cyber Security po licies and procedures (ii) data security posture manageme nt - for auditing and protection of data sources (file servers, SP, OD, etc.) (iii) email protection - for protecting company emails (iv) endpoint detect & response - for autonomous detection and response to external threats on endpoints (v) network protection - to ensure the infrastructure security of the perimeter network (DDoS, IDS, IPS, DNS & Web Filtering, Application Control) (vi) web application firewall — for the protecti on of the Group's applications and websites (vii) IAM/PAM - for identity governance and privilege d user access management (viii) device posture -
for compliance of any device attemp ting to access the intranet.
From the perspective of infrastructure and network security, since 2023 a Data Centre, outsourced to a third-party provider, has become operational, intr oducing disaster recovery solutions and optimised management of backup data (Golden Copy).
In addition, a SOC - Security Control Centre service was activated, managed by a service provider with the objective of analysing and managing security in cidents with the related co ntainment and resolution measures, and a Cyber Threat Intelligence service was made available, which allows an additional proactive element to be introduced in the mana gement of IT security in the company and to consolidate the memorandum of understanding on th e prevention of cyber risks signed with CNAIPIC (National Cybercrime Prevention Centre for the Protection of Critical Infrastructure). Specific periodic training is also given to Group employees on the issues of ‘phishing’ and ‘social engineering’ to increase awareness among company personnel of recognising this specific type of cyber attack.
Lastly, on the insurance front, an insurance po licy covering cyber risk has been taken out.
Risks associated with the dependence on key personnel and with change management The Group relies significantly on the professional input of its senior management of the Group’s companies and highly specialised personnel, who ar e primarily assigned to the Group’s Business Units (such as Exhibition Directors) an d operational activities . Moreover, the Italian exhibition market is characterised by a limited number of professionals, which has a negative impact on the labour market, where managers with distinctive exhibition skills are in short supply. Consequently, the Group faces the risk of being unable to attract and retain indi viduals with the necessary qualifications to perform these activities, or the risk that existing professional relationships with key individuals or specialised staff may be discontinued. To manage the potential critical issues arising from this risk factor, the Group has put in place a series of actions. During the first half of 2026, the me dium and long-term LTI ‘2026-2028 performance shares’ incentive plan was launched, in mixed cash/performance shares form, with an expanded audience of beneficiaries compared to the previous 2023-2025 pl an, with the aim of encouraging the motivation of key people and increasing their loyalty to the company. Additionally, a range of HR initiatives were implem ented, such as the ‘School of Trades’ training programme, designed to identify and catalogue the company’s key knowledge and skills, and to initiate a process for the distribution and sharing of this expertise. Another initiative is the ‘Sales Incentive’ scheme, which offers more competit ive rewards in line with market standards, with the objective of boosting individual sales performance and sustaining a high de gree of engagement.
31
Risks related to undeclared labour practices in the supplier base The types of suppliers that the Fiera Milano Group employs to provide its services include companies operating in sectors which have a high number of workers (e.g. cleaning, stand fitting, security, catering) potentially with a medium/h igh level of risk of being exposed to undeclared working practices.
Nevertheless, the actual probability of engaging suppl iers with issues related to irregular employment is considered to be low, due to the numerous orga nisational, contractual, and procedural safeguards adopted by the Group, which has developed and impl emented controls both (i) during the supplier engagement phase, for the reputational and econ omic-technical qualification of the supplier for inclusion in the Group’s supplier register, and (ii) on field, during the physical monitoring of access, in the execution phase of the contracted services. In addition, since 2024, an on-s ite visit assessment of suppliers, both potential and already engaged, ha s been implemented by the Vendor Management function.
In addition to the 231 Model, which in the Spec ial Section includes cont rol protocols aimed at preventing both crimes involving the employment of illegally staying third-country nationals and crimes of illicit intermediation and labour exploitation, and the Code of Ethics (establishing the basic policies in the fight against illegal and child labour), the Group's procedural framework includes:
i) procedure for granting accreditation an d controlling access to exhibition sites ii) Purchasing procedure and supplier qualification procedure (iii) personnel search, selection and recruitment procedure.
In terms of contractual safeguards, the framework contains measures to prevent and counteract any illegality by contractors and their potential subcontractors, including (i) general conditions for compliance with national collective bargaining ag reements and termination clauses in the event of breach of social security and tax obligations (ii) technical regulations for exhibition sites (iii) general regulations for exhibitions (iv) specific safety provisions.
Risks related to business ethics and integrity in the supply chain There is a potential risk that the lack of transparen cy and integrity in the suppl ier base (e.g. corruption, money laundering, infiltration of organised crim e), may have repercussions on operations and compromise the Group’s reputation, also in consideration of its media exposure.
To protect itself against such risk and the potential negative impact in financial, operational and reputational terms, the Group has developed and im plemented an extensive system of procedural and organisational measures with respect to co rruption and bribery, as detailed below.
In operational terms, controls have been implemen ted both (i) in the supplier engagement phase, for its reputational and economic/technical qualification for the purpose of enrolment in the Group’s supplier register, and (ii) on field, in the physical access control phase, in the phase of execution of the contracted services. In addition, since 2024, an on-site visit assessment of suppliers, both potential and already engaged, has been implemente d by the Vendor Management function.
On a procedural level, the Code of Ethics forbids corrupt practices, unlawful bribery, collusion, and requests, direct and/or through third parties, for pers onal or career advantages either personal or on behalf of others. The model 231 in force in the Spec ial Part provides for cont rol protocols to prevent crimes committed in relations with the Public Administration and crimes of corruption between private individuals. The control protocols are part of specific corporate procedures of which the most significant, as regards these risks, are those govern ing procurement of goods and services. In addition, every customer and supplier, and more generally all third parties, are informed of the 231 models and the Code of Ethics of the Group companies, as sp ecific clauses are included in the contracts which require the counterparty to respect the principles set forth in Italian Legislative Decree 231/2001 and in the Code of Ethics.
Since 2024, Fiera Milano Sp A has been certified ISO 37001 – Mana gement Systems for the Prevention of Corruption, within the scope of which it has ad opted a Policy for the Prevention of Corruption.
32
Regarding foreign subsidiaries, the Brazilian compan y Fiera Milano Brasil, the South African company Fiera Milano Exhibition Africa, and the company Fiera Milano Asia Pacific, based in Singapore, have adopted anti-corruption guidelines.
To ensure the autonomy of the buyers in the Procurement department, the Company introduced a rotation system that is linked to new and different categories of supplies and to the importance of the services being purchased. A similar job rotation sy stem was introduced for employees having contact with suppliers of medium/high risk services whereby they rotate thei r positions at intervals depending on their seniority within the organisation for operating positions, and at increasing intervals for those positions with a more predominantly management component.
Finally, the Whistleblowing Policy, updated with the provisions of Legislative Decree 24/23, which transposed EU Directive 2019/1937, provides a framewor k for the receipt, analysis and processing of reports, including those made anonymously or in confidence, by third parties or employees of Group companies. The procedure provides for a dedicated internal committee (Whistleblowing Committee), whose responsibility it is to carry out investigations into any allegations of unlawful practices and/or conduct.
3. Legal and compliance risks Risks related to the reference legal framework on health and safety The activities of the Group carried out in the exhibition and congress sites, and the number of persons (employees, suppliers, exhibitors, visitors, congress attendees and stand fitters) that transit or work in the exhibition sites coul d result in exposure to the risk of accidents and/or breaches of the legislation governing workplace health and safety (Consolidate d Law 81/2008). Such breaches, should they occur, may expose the Company to the application of substantial sanctions or, in the event of injuries, to legal proceedings with negative repercussions for th e Group’s finances and asse ts as well as for its reputation.
It should be noted that these risks are mitigated by a series of procedural and organisational safeguards adopted for this purpose, which include:
• the supplier selection process, with controls of technical/professional eligibility and a focus on occupational health and safety; • systematic preparation of the Interference Risk Assessment Report (DUVRI) and aligning procedures concerned, in order to comply with Legislative Decree 81/2008;
• the periodic updating of the Organisational Model pursuant to Legislative Decree no. 231/01, which includes the control protocols relating to Health and Safety in the workplace;
• updating the Health, Safety and Environmen t Action Plan (PASSA), which contains the programme of measures considered necessary to guarantee the improvement of health and safety levels over time; • the continuous updating of th e ‘Technical Regulations for Exhi bitions’, a document containing the rules which exhibitors and suppliers must observe in their activities. The controlling entity and the subsidiary Nolostand are ISO 45001- Health and Safety certified. Finally, it should be noted that in 2019 Fiera Mila no signed a memorandum of understanding with the relevant authorities to define the roles and responsibilities for organising work safety at exhibitions within the Fiera Milano-managed sites. The me asures implemented in connection with this memorandum included (i) allowing the relevant authorities (Prefecture, Public Health Agency – ATS, Police Headquarters, Workplace Accident Insurance Institute – INAIL, Social Welfare Institute – INPS) to access the stand builders' registration system (ii) making safe ty-related information (contact names for each stand), hall plans and technical data sheets available to the Public He alth Agency (ATS) (iii) providing stand builders with a de dicated section on the website to enter the risk assessment form (DUVRI) and/or the safety and coordination pl an (PSC) relating to stand construction work.
Legislation on service contracts The Group is potentially exposed in its supply chain to the risk of sanctions due to the violation of regulations on joint and several liability in contract s (fiscal, contributory and retributive - legislative 33
decree 276/03) and the illicit interposition of labour (‘non-genuine contracting’) with related economic-
financial, operational and reputati onal consequences. The countermeasures put in place by the Group to prevent the risk in question include safeguards such as (i) procedures for the reputational and technical-economic qualification of the supplier for the purposes of the latter’s inclusion in the Group’s supplier register (ii) on-site vi sit assessment activities on suppliers, both potential and already engaged, by the Vendor Management function, (iii) inclusion in the contractualisation phase of clauses on the correct legal framework of the relationship, compliance with HSE and worker protection regulations, identification of the contact person, possibility of recourse by the customer, sureties to guarantee fulfilment of contractual obligations (iv) tr aining activities for internal functions that deal with suppliers.
Administrative liability of entities pursuant to Legislative Decree 231/01 Legislative Decree 231/2001 establishes the administrative liability of entities as a consequence of some crimes committed by directors, senior employee executives and third parties operating by appointment or on behalf of the Company or are in an y case linked to it by le gal relationships relevant to the prevention of offences. However, the decree exonerates the entity from this liability if it can demonstrate it has adopted and effectively implem ented an organisational, management and control model (Model 231), suitable for preventing the commi ssion of the crimes cont emplated. The adoption of Organisational Models does not rule out, per se, the imposition of penalties contemplated in Decree 231/2001. If a crime is committed which involves the administrative li ability of the Company pursuant to Legislative Decree 231/2001, the Judicial Authorit ies are required to assess these models, and their actual implementation. If the Judicial Authorities consider the models adopted as not being suitable for preventing the crimes that have occurred, or as not being efficiently implemented, or consider the monitoring of the model’s functioning and complian ce by the dedicated body as insufficient, bans would be imposed in any case on the Company, i.e. a ban on dealing with the Public administration, or fines would be imposed, with consequent ne gative effects on operations, prospects and the Company’s financial situation, as well as its reputation.
In order to be able to make use of the exemption provided for by the Legislative Decree in question, the Parent Company, as well as the Italian Group companies, have adopted their own organisational, management and control models, wh ich are constantly monitored an d updated in relation to the evolution of the reference legislat ion and changes in organisational structures; ad hoc 231 training is also systematically provided to the staff of these companies.
Notwithstanding the adoption of the aforementioned Models, the Group is exposed to the risk of penalties arising from the Model 231s of the Gr oup companies being found to be inadequate.
With regard to foreign subsidiaries, which are no t subject to regulation 231, the Brazilian company Fiera Milano Brasil, the South African company Fiera Milano Exhibition Africa and the company Fiera Milano Asia Pacific, based in Singapore, have adopted anti-corruption guidelines.
Compliance risk regarding data protection (privacy) During their operations, the group’s companies acquire, gather, retain, and process the personal data of their employees, associ ates, clients, partners, and suppliers. Consequently, group companies face the potential risk that the procedures and measures put in place for personal data protection may prove to be insufficient, or that the necessary privacy safeguards are not correctly applied across the different areas of activity. These circumstances may result in the identification of breaches of the duties stipulated in, among other regulations, th e General Data Protection R e g u l a t i o n ( G D P R ) -
Regulation (EU) 2016/679. Consequently, this could lead to the imposition of the penalties outlined within the regulation, which include maximum fines of either Euro 10 to 20 million or 4% of the total annual worldwide turnover of the preceding financia l year, whichever is greater. At the level of procedural safeguards, the Parent Company, as well as the Group companies subject to the legislation, have been structured in such a way as to ensure adequate compliance with European legislation on privacy and personal data protection.
NIS 2 Standard 34
The Parent Company Fiera Milano SpA and its subsidiary Fiera Milano Congressi SpA, on the basis of evaluations carried out by ACN (National Cybersecurity Agency) and MIMIT (Ministry of Enterprise and Made In Italy), in the first half of 2025 were recogn ised as 'essential entities' within the meaning of Legislative Decree 138/24, as they are included in the digital infrastructure sector, with the related obligations to comply with the provisions of th e decree. The relevant sa nctions in case of non-
compliance can be up to Euro 10 million or 2% of global turnover. In relation to the obligations set out by the regulations, Fiera Milano has launched an adaptation roadmap, with the support of legal and technical consultants, which saw the fulfilment of the first information obligations due in July 2025 and the adoption in December 2025 of the update of the ‘Information Security Incident Management’ procedure and the ‘Significant Incident Notification’ procedure with contents in line with the NIS2 requirements.
By October 2026, it is planned to adapt to the minimum security measures provided by ACN (43 technical-organisati onal measures and 116 requirements).

Business outlook
The first half of 2026 showed a solid performance, underpinned by broad-based contributions from the main business areas, the strengthening of the events portfolio and the expansion of the Group’s scope, following the acquisition of STIPA and the cons olidation of Expotrans’ first year. To the results of the first quarter, which benefited from the pr esence of Mostra Convegno Expocomfort and the higher-than-expected contribution of the activities related to the Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games Milan Cortina 2026, was added the positive cont ribution of the exhibitions held in the second quarter, including Salone del Mobile and TUTTOFOOD, which further supported the performance of the period, with results overall in line with expectations. In the course of the year, the seasonality typical of even-numbered years, which is characte rised by the absence in the last quarter of the biennial exhibitions organi sed by HostMilano - Made - Sicurezza, wi ll be mitigated by the presence of CPHI, a major international travelling exhibition, an d by the consolidation of the second edition of NetZero Milan. The macroeconomic and geopolitical environment rema ins characterised by high volatility, uncertainty and limited predictability. The analyses conducted outline a scenario in which the possible negative impacts on the business are mainly indirect in nature and relate in particular to the impact of energy costs on energy-intensive industrial sectors and the transport sector, inflationa ry pressures linked to rising energy costs, and the potential impact on international mobility flows; based on the partial nature of the information currently available and in light of the impossibility of clearly outlining the trajectory of geopolitical developments, such effe cts currently remain contained and do not appear likely to have a significant impact on the Group's development trajectory. In light of the available evidence, the positive performance of the first half, the stronger-than-expected contribution from Olympic-related activities and th e progress of the integration process for the recent acquisitions, the company confirms the guidance for the 2026 financial year:
• Revenues of between Euro 380 million and Euro 400 million, already revised upwards compared with the previous range of Euro 305–325 million.
• EBITDA in the range Euro 100–110 million, already revised upwards compared to the previous range Euro 90–100 million.
As part of its strategic initiatives, the presentation of the new Strategic Plan is scheduled for the first quarter of 2027. This timing will make it possibl e to incorporate the 2026 results and strengthen the reliability of forecasts, benefiting from greater visibility regarding the geopolitical environment and the main macroeconomic and sector indicators.

Illustrative Notes to the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
____________________________________________________________________
The Fiera Milano Group Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements at 30 June 2026 were approved and their publication authorised by the Board of Directors on 28 July 2026.
Fiera Milano S.p.A. (the ‘Parent Company’) and its subs idiaries form the ‘Group’. Fiera Milano is a joint-
stock company (SpA) subject to the laws of the Italia n Republic. The registered office of the Controlling Entity is in Piazzale Carlo Magno 1, Milan, Italy. The duration of Fiera Miano SpA is fixed, as provided for by the By-laws, until 31 December 2050 and may be extended by resolution of the Shareholders' Meeting.
The Group operates in Rho, Milan and abroad, mainly in the so-called BRICS countries.
The Fiera Milano Group is active in all the key ar eas of the exhibition and congress industry and is one of the largest integrated exhibition companies worldwide.
The Group business consists of hosting exhibitions, fairs and othe r events, promoting and making available equipped exhi bition spaces, as well as offering su pport for projects and related services.
This includes the business of staging exhibitions (and providing final services to exhibitors and visitors).
The business of the Group has dual seasonality: (i) a greater concentration of exhibitions in the period from January – June; (ii) exhibitions that have a multi-annual frequency.
For further details on the Group structure, reference should be made to the relevant section of the Interim Report on Operations.
1) Accounting standards and consolidation criteria Standards used to prepare the Financial Statements These interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 - Interim Financial Reporting . The interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all the information required in the preparation of the annual consolidated financial statements. For this reason, it is necessary to read the interim condensed consolidated financial statements together with the consolidated fi nancial statements as at 31 December 2025.
Having regard to the economic and financial position for the first six months of 2026, to the 2026-2029 economic-financial projections approved by th e Board of Directors on 18 February 2026, which confirm the medium-term forecasts already included in the Strategic Plan presented to the market in April 2024, appropriately updated to reflect the uncertainty of the international macroeconomic context, which remains high due to persistent geopol itical tensions and the introduction of new duties by the US administration – as well as taking into account the expected evolution of working capital and the financial and equity position of the Group, the condensed interim financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.
The reference currency is the euro and all figu res are rounded to the nearest thousand euro.
No atypical and/or unusual transactions took place in the first half of 2026.
The risks and uncertainties to which the business is exposed are described in the Interim Report on Operations in the section on Risk factors affecting th e Group, in note 21 of the Illustrative Notes and in section 1.4 on the use of estimates.
The present Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been subject to a limited audit by the audit firm PwC SpA.

1.1 New accounting standa rds adopted, interpreta tions and amendments.
The accounting standards used to prepare these Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements conform to those used to prepare the Consolidated Financial Statements for the financial year to 31 December 2025, except fo r the following new standards and amendments applicable from 1 January
2026:
- Changes to the classification and measurement of financial instruments (amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7) With Regulation (EU) 2025/1047 published on 28 May 2025, the EU approved the document ‘Amendments to the classification and measuremen t of financial instruments (amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7)’.
The amendments provide clarification regarding the recognition and derecognition of certain financial assets and liabilities, with particular re ference to liabilities settled via electronic payment systems; they provide further guidance on the a ssessment of the ‘principal and interest only’ (SPPI) criterion for financial instruments featuring contingent clauses, including certain features linked to ESG objectives; and they introduce specific disclosure requirements.
These amendments apply to financial years begi nning on or after 1 January 2026. The Group has adopted the amendments with effect from that date, and their application has not had any significant impact on the statement of financial position, the profit or loss for the period, or the disclosures provided in thes e interim condensed consolidated financial statements.
- Contracts related to electricity dependent on nature (amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7) With Regulation (EU) 2025/1266 published on 1 July 2025, the EU approved the document ‘Contracts related to nature-dependent electr icity (amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7)’.
These changes introduce clarification of the applicat ion of ‘own use’ requirements, authorisation of hedge accounting if such contracts are used as hedging instruments, and the addition of new disclosure requirements to enable investors to understand th e effect of such contracts on the financial results and cash flows of the company.
The amendments apply to financ ial years beginning on or after 1 January 2026. The Group has adopted the amendments with effect from that date; however, given the absence of any significant contracts falling within the scope of those amendm ents, there have been no material effects on these interim condensed consol idated financial statements.
- Annual cycle of improvements to IFRS accounting standards – Volume 11 (amendments to IFRS 1,
IFRS 7, IFRS 9, IFRS 10 and IAS 7)
With Regulation (EU) 2025/1331 published on 10 Ju ly 2025, the EU approved the document ‘Annual cycle of improvements to IFRS accounting standa rds — Volume 11 (Amendments to IFRS 1, IFRS 7, IFRS 9, IFRS 10 and IAS 7)’. Annual improvements provide the IA SB with a mechanism to efficiently enact a number of minor changes to accounting standards. Annual improvements are limited to changes that clarify the formulation of an Accounting Standard or correct for relatively minor un intended consequences, omissions or conflicts between the requirements of the Accounting Standards.
The amendments apply to financ ial years beginning on or after 1 January 2026. The Group has adopted these amendments with effect from that da te; their application ha s not had any significant impact on the Group’s financial position, results of operations or disclosures.
As at the date of approval of these condensed consolidated half-yearly financial statements, there are no further accounting standards, interpretations or amendments endorsed by the European Union and effective for financial years beginni ng on 1 January 2026 that have had a significant impact on the Group.
The Group has not opted for early adoption of any standards, interpretations or amendments that have been issued but for which adoption is not yet mandatory.
46
Below are the new accounting standards and changes to accounting standards issued by the IASB but not yet applicable at the reference date of this Consolidated Financial Report and for which the Group has not opted for early adoption.
- IFRS 18 – Presentation and Disc losure in Financial Statements IFRS 18 ‘Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements’, published by the IASB in April 2024, will be mandatory for financial year s beginning on or after 1 Janu ary 2027 and will replace IAS 1 ‘Presentation of Financial Statemen ts’, introducing new requirements regarding the presentation and disclosure of financial statements, with particular reference to the structure of the income statement, disclosures relating to Management Performance Measures (‘MPMs’) and certain aspects of the cash flow statement.
During the first half of 2026, the Group launc hed a dedicated assessment programme aimed at analysing the impacts deriving from the application of the new standard. The activities carried out to date have mainly concerned:
- the preliminary analysis of the changes required to the consolidated financial statements, with particular reference to the statement of profit/(loss) for the year and the statement of cash flows;
- the evaluation of the main application choices and judgments required by the standard;
- the identification of additional information and functional requirements necessary for the adaptation of reporting processes and informatio n systems to support the future application of IFRS 18.
As of the date of approval of this Half-Year Financial Report, the project is still ongoing and the Group has not completed its assessments. Therefore, it is not yet possible to reliably quantify the effects that the adoption of IFRS 18 may have on the consolidated financial statements and on the specific subtotals provided for by the new standard.
On the basis of the preliminary anal yses carried out, no impact on th e criteria for the recognition and valuation of the financial statements is expected; the expected effects will mainly concern the classification, presentation and disclosure of financial statements items. In particular, further analysis is currently being carried out regarding the new structure of the profit and loss account, the identification and presentation of any Manage ment Performance Measures, and the resulting disclosures required by the standard.
The Group will continue to monitor developments in accounting practices and interpretative guidance emerging at international level, including decision s and discussions within the IFRS Interpretations Committee (IFRS IC), as well as guidance prov ided by supervisory and regulatory bodies. The information on the expected effects of the application of IFRS 18 will be progressively updated in future financial statements, as soon as sufficient ly reliable elements become available to allow a reasonable estimate.
1.2 Form and content of the Consolidated Financial Statements Notwithstanding the provisions of IAS 34 – Interim Financial Reporting the present Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Stat ements give detailed, and not just summary, tables in order to provide a better and more complete view of th e financial results for the first half of the year to 30 June 2026 and of the same period of the previous year. The Illust rative Notes meet the information requirements of IAS 34 and include data considered useful for a fuller understanding of the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
1.3 Scope and principles of consolidation These Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the Parent Company Fiera Milano SpA, its subsidiaries, associated companies and comp anies under joint control or subject to significant influence.
47
The present Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared on the basis of the six-monthly situat ion at 30 June 2026 approved by the Bo ards of Directors of the companies included in the area of consolidation and prepar ed according to Group accounting policies using IAS/IFRS.
In relation to the scope of consolidation, it should be noted that:
- As of 1 January 2026, the shareholders' agreements in force between the companies Fiera Milano Congressi SpA and MiCo DMC Srl were amended, as a result of which Fier a Milano Congressi SpA assumed control of MiCo DMC Srl, as further described in note 1.5.
- On 29 January 2026, Fiera Milano SpA made a capital contribution of Euro 1.4 million to the newly established company Fiera Milano Asia Pacific as part of the Group's international development strategy.
The new company will strengthen the Group's presence in Asian markets and develop new exhibition platforms dedicated to design and the creative industries . Fiera Milano Asia Pacific will organise FIND – Design Fair Asia, the internationa l event dedicated to design and furniture, which will take place in Thailand for the first time from 26 to 28 November 2026 in Bangkok at the Queen Sirikit National Convention Cent er exhibition site, opening a ne w chapter in the international development of the exhibition.
- On 18 February 2026, Fiera Milano SpA signed a binding agreement for the acquisition of 51% of the share capital of Stipa SpA, an Italian company leader in the design and construction of high-
end customised exhibition set-ups, also active in set-ups for corporate events and in the retail and showroom segment, as further described in note 1.5.
- On 18 February 2026, Fiera Milano SpA signed a binding agreement for the acquisition of 70% of the share capital of Made in Stee l Srl, the company organising the biennial international Made in Steel exhibition, a reference point for the steel su pply chain, as further described in note 1.5.
Attachment 1 gives the list of consolidated companies.
Translation of accounts prepared in currencies other than the Euro The exchange rates used to translate the 2026 an d 2025 half-year financial statements of foreign companies into Euro were as follows:
1.4 Use of estimates Preparation of interim financial statements and related notes under IFRS require estimates and assumptions to be made that affect the figures for a ssets and liabilities in the financial statements and information regarding the potential assets and liabilities at the date the half-year financial statements are prepared. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Estimates are used for provisions for doubtful accounts, depreciation an d amortisation, employee benefits, taxes, and other provisions and reserves, fair value measurements, as well as any adjustments to asset values. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed regularly and the effects of any change are immediately recognised in profit or loss. avera ge 1st Half 2026avera ge 1st Half 202530/06/2026 31/12/2025 South African rand 19.1396 20.0823 18.6544 19.4439 Brazilian reals 6.0127 6.2913 5.9003 6.4364 Singapore dollars 1.4907 1.4461 1.4754 1.5105 Source: Bank of Italy 48
The most significant estimates used in preparing the Financial Statements are given below as these require a high degree of subjective opinions, assumptions and forecasts:
- Goodwill is systematically tested for impairment at least annually, or more often if impairment indicators emerge. The impairment test calls for a discretionary estimate of the values in use of the cash-generating unit to which the goodwill is at tributed, in turn based on the estimate of future cash flows of the CGU an d their discounting at a specified discount rate.
The recoverability of carrying amounts is measured as the lower of the carrying amount and the higher of the fair value less costs to sell and the value in use of the asset. The net fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset in an orderly transaction between market participants less costs to sell; in the absence of a binding agreement, reference is made to similar transactions on an active market or it is determined according to IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement. The value in use is the present value of the future cash flow s expected to be derived from the asset (or cash-
generating unit), discounted using a weighted average cost of capital of an entity having a similar risk profile and level of indebtedness, and from its ultimate disposal at the end of its useful life.
The plans used to carry out the impairment tests are based on certain expectations and assumptions of future performance that by thei r very nature are subject to uncertainties.
Therefore, results could differ from estimates.
These uncertainties are fuelled by a conflicting an d unstable global geopolitical framework, which poses new challenges to Europe and the West, incl uding in terms of security. Therefore, results could differ from estimates. The plan will be continually assessed by the Directors regarding the effective realisation of the initiatives and foreca sts and the effects on th e financial and economic performance of the Group.
-
Intangible assets with a finite useful life are tested for impairment when there are internal or external indications that an asset is impaired; this test requires an estimate of the value in use of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs, which itself is based on an estimate of the cash flows the cash-generating unit is expected to generate and discounting them to their net present value using an appropriate discount rate.
- Deferred tax assets are recognised agai nst tax losses carried forward and other timing differences to the extent of the likely existence of future taxable profit against whic h these tax losses carried forward and those due to timing differences ma y be used. Management must use its judgement in estimating the amount of deferred tax assets to be recognised. The business plan of the Company is used to calculate the likelihood that these deferred tax assets will be used.
- Provisions for risks and charges are subject to discretionary estimates using the best available information at the date of these Financial Statements and based on historic and future data regarding the likely outcome of legal disputes or events, for which assessment of the risk profiles and likely financial impact is uncertain and comp lex and could result in an adjustment to the estimates.
With regard to the use of estimates for financial risks, reference should be made to the relevant paragraph in the Illustrative Notes to the Financial Statements.
-
Share-based Payments. According to the contents of IFRS 2 - Share-based Payments, the total amount of the current value of the stock grants (fair value) at the assignment date is recorded in full in the statement of income among the personnel costs for the period between the allocation date and their maturity date and is recognised against the equity reserve.
Th e f ai r v a lu e o f th e s to c k g r a n ts is c alc u lat e d at their allocation date, reflecting the market conditions existing at the date in question.
In the case of a set ‘maturity period’ in which some conditions must be met (attaining targets) so that the assignees become holders of the right, the cost for remuneration, determined on the basis of the current value of the shares at the al location date, is record ed under personnel costs based on a straight-line method over the period between the allocation date and the maturity date.
49
In case of assigning shares free of charge (so-call ed stock grant) at the end of the maturity period, the corresponding increase in equity is recorded.
- Taxes are calculated for each individual consolidated company, by applying to the profit/(loss) before tax for the period the tax rate which would apply to the expected annual results. If the estimated effective tax rate does not give credible results, the income taxes are calculated by applying the tax rate and enacted regulations in the countries in which the Group operates to the estimated taxable income for the period.
1.5 Information on acquisition transactions Acquisition transactions qualifying as
business combinations
As of 1 January 2026, the shareholders' agreements in force between the companies Fiera Milano Congressi SpA and MiCo DMC Srl were amended, as a result of which Fiera Milano Congressi SpA assumed control of MiCo DMC Srl.
Following this change, the company is no longer classified as a joint venture but as a subsidiary, in accordance with IFRS 10 – Consolidated Financial Statements. Accordingly, the investment, previously accounted for using the equity method in accordance with IFRS 11, is fully consolidated line by line from the date control was acquired.
The full consolidation of Mico DMC Srl resulted in an increase in consolidated revenues of Euro 7.2 million, in addition to the related effects on the ot her main economic and financial indicators of the Group.
It should be noted that, following the acquisition of control of MiCo DMC Srl, the investment previously accounted for using the equity method has been remeas ured at its fair value as at the acquisition date, in accordance with the provisions of IFRS 3 – Bu siness Combinations. The positive difference arising from the remeasurement, equal to Euro 1.5 million , was recognised in the income statement for the period.
On 18 February 2026, Fiera Milano SpA signed a bind ing agreement for the acquisition of 51% of the share capital of Stipa SpA, an Italian company lead er in the design and construction of high-end customised exhibition set-ups, also active in set-ups for corporate events and in the retail and showroom segment.
The operation represents a further step in th e implementation of th e 2024-2027 Strategic Plan, strengthening the positioning of Fiera Milano as an integrated service provider and expanding its presence in the market of customis ed stands and related services, leve raging the size and high growth rates of these segments and supporting the evolution of the Group's offer towards a one-stop-shop model of services for exhibitors and visitors.
The transaction provides for the management and coor dination to be exercised by Fiera Milano SpA, enabling the full consolidation of the investment. The acquisition was completed for a consideration of Euro 12.1 million paid at closin g and is subject to a price adjustment mechanism based on the net financial position, on the basis of a valuation implyi ng a 100% Enterprise Value of approximately Euro 23.8 million. The total adjustment calculated on th e basis of these parameters amounted to Euro 0.1 million. The agreement envisaged a put/call option on the remaining 49% of the shares, exercisable in several time windows, with a maximum value of Euro 15. 7 million for the remaining shares, bringing the transaction to a maximum to tal value of Euro 27.8 million in addi tion to the net financial position. At the acquisition date, the put option was measured at fair value at an amount of Euro 14 million.
The transaction was financed through available cash resources and was completed at closing on 3 March 2026. The agreement ensures mana gement and operational continuity.

The acquisition values can be analysed as follows:
The identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed of Stipa SpA, summarised below, were measured at fair value at the da te of acquisition of control.
It should be noted that the recognition of the bu siness combination was carried out provisionally, in accordance with the provisions of IFRS 3 ‘Business combinations’. This standard allows the acquirer to make use of a measurement period not exceeding one year from the date of acquisition, within which it is possible to adjust the provisional amounts initially recognised.
The Group opted for the valuation of third party inte rests at the acquisition date in proportion (pro-
rata) to the value of the net assets identified of the acquired company.
As at 3 March 2026, the difference between the co nsideration transferred and the carrying amount of the net assets acquired was provisionally recognised as goodwill.

On 18 February 2026, Fiera Milano SpA signed a bi nding agreement for the acquisition of 70% of the share capital of Made in Steel Srl, the company organising the biennial inte rnational Made in Steel exhibition, a reference point for the steel supply chain. Siderweb SpA SB, founder of the event, will maintain a 30% stake in the company's capital, ensuring the full organisational and identity continuity of the exhibition.
The operation represents a further step in the implementation of the strategy outlined in the 2024-
2027 Strategic Plan, which provides for the strengthen ing of the portfolio of organised exhibitions and the consolidation of the role of Fiera Milano as an international development platform for industrial chains of high strategic importance and as a partner for the growth of the exhibitions that operate in the service of these chains.
The transaction provides for the management and coor dination to be exercised by Fiera Milano SpA, enabling the full consolidation of the investment. The acquisition was completed for a consideration of Euro 7.7 million, paid upon closing, subject to a price adjustment mechanism based on net financial position and net working capital. The total adjustment determined on the basis of these parameters was equal to Euro 0.03 million.
The agreement also provides for an earn-out mechanis m of up to Euro 1.4 million in total, equal to Euro 0.7 million per tranche, subject to the achievement of specific economic and financial targets relating to the 2027 and 2029 editions of the exhibition. At the acquisition date, this component was measured at fair value at an amount of Euro 1.3 million.
The transaction was financed through available cash resources and was completed at closing on 25 February 2026.
The acquisition values can be analysed as follows:
The identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed of Made in Steel Srl, summarised below, were measured at fair value at the da te of acquisition of control.

It should be noted that the recognition of the bu siness combination was carried out provisionally, in accordance with the provisions of IFRS 3 ‘Business combinations’. This standard allows the acquirer to make use of a measurement period not exceeding one year from the date of acquisition, within which it is possible to adjust the provisional amounts initially recognised.
The Group opted for the valuation of third party inte rests at the acquisition date in proportion (pro-

The item Right-of-use assets includes increases of Euro 3,493 thousand relating to related-party transactions (Euro 28,607 thousand at 31 December 2025). For more details, see note 38 on these transactions.
5) Goodwill and intangible assets with a finite useful life
Goodwill
This item amounts to Euro 119,624 thousand (Euro 97,585 thousand at 31 December 2025).
As described in the section 1.4 Use of estimates, go odwill is subject to annual impairment tests at the end of each reporting period or more frequently if there are any indications of impairment, with the assistance of a qualified independent expert.
Goodwill is allocated to the differen t cash generating units (CGUs) or group of CGUs that gave rise to the goodwill.
To identify ‘the smallest identifiable group of as sets that generates cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets’ (IAS 36 – Impairment of Assets), each different Group reportable segment was designated a CGU.
In the new reportable segment ‘Italian Exhibition s Business’, the CGUs correspond to individual exhibitions and include the activities carried out by the Controlling Entity Fiera Milano SpA, by Nolostand SpA, MADE eventi Srl., Made in Steel Srl and Stipa SpA.
In the reportable segment ‘Foreign Exhibitions Business’, the situation is different in countries where the Group holds its own exhibitions (such as Brazil, South Africa and Singapore) from countries where the Group operates through joint venture arrangemen ts and trademark user licence agreements (such as China). In the first case, the CG Us correspond to individual exhi bitions; in the second, the CGUs are represented by the individual reference market.
In the Reportable Segment ‘Congresses’, two CGUs can be identified: for the activities of Fiera Milano Congressi SpA and MiCo DMC Srl.
Finally, the Reportable Segment 'Other Sectors' includes three CGUs corresponding to the activities of Expotrans SpA, Event Logistics Team Srl and Expotrans Pte Ltd.
In order to avoid using arbitrary al location criteria for the impairment tests, goodwill was allocated based on appropriate groupings that reflect both the strategic vision of the company and how the goodwill was generated.
The goodwill allocations are as follows:
- the ‘Italian Exhibitions Business’ CGU for a total of Euro 110,01 1 thousand: includes the CGUs corresponding to all the exhibitions organised or hosted by Fiera Milano SpA, Made Eventi Srl and Made in Steel Srl, including the set-up services provided by Nolostand SpA and Stipa SpA.
This grouping is allocated the goodwill of Fiera Milano SpA (equal to Euro 76,091 thousand), the goodwill of Made Eventi Srl (equal to Euro 909 thousa nd), the goodwill of Made in Steel Srl (equal to Euro 8,785 thousand), the goodwill of Nolostand SpA (equal to Euro 12,581 thousand) and the goodwill of Stipa SpA (equal to Euro 11,645 thousand).

For a more detailed analysis of the goodwill recognis ed in respect of Made in Steel Srl and Stipa SpA, please refer to the comments set out above in note 1.5.
The goodwill of Fiera Milano SpA breaks down as follows: Euro 29,841 thousand deriving from Fondazione Fiera Milano’s transfer of the exhibition company to Fiera Milano SpA on 17 December 2001; Euro 40,223 thousand derive from the acquisit ions of companies organi sing exhibitions that were subsequently incorporated into Fiera Milano SpA as part of various merger operations; Euro 5,947 thousand deriving from acquisitions related to digital publishing; Euro 80 thousand deriving from the acquisition by the Controlling Entity of the ‘Inf ormation Communication Technology’ business unit.
The goodwill of MADE Eventi Srl derives from th e acquisition of the company organising the MADE Expo exhibition.
The goodwill of Made in Steel Srl derives from the acquisition of the company organising the Made in Steel exhibition.
Nolostand SpA’s goodwill arises from Nolostand SpA’ s acquisition of the 'standard fittings' business unit.
The goodwill of Stipa SpA derives from the acquisition of the company active in the design and construction of high-end customis ed exhibition installations.
- The Congress cash-generating unit: includes good will, amounting to Euro 7,064 thousand, arising from the acquisition of Fiera Milano Congressi SpA (Euro 5,455 thousand) and MiCo DMC Srl (Euro 1,609 thousand).
It should be noted that, following the acquisitio n of control of MiCo DMC Srl, the investment previously accounted for using the equity method has been remeasured at its fair value as at the acquisition date, in accordance with the provisions of IFRS 3 – Business Combinations. The positive difference arising from the remeasurement, amounting to Euro 1,519 thousand, was recognised in the profit and loss account for the period and the company was fully consolidated.
- the 'Other Sectors' CGU: includes goodwill, amounting to Euro 2,549 thousand, arising from the acquisition of Expotrans SpA, Event Logi stics Team Srl and Expotrans Pte Ltd.
In conjunction with the half-yearl y financial report, Fiera Milano Sp A carries out a systematic search for any impairment indicators, confirming the result s achieved of the test carried out in the last financial statements.
The performance of the first half of 2026 and the update of the forecasts for the entire financial year 2026 is overall improved compared to the budget both considering the consolidated results, and limiting the comparison to the CGUs already present in the impairment test of the 2025 financial statements.
An analysis of the performance of the CGUs in the first half-year compared with the forecasts included in the last impairment test shows that there are no indicators of impairment for intangibles with a finite useful life. Finally, the updated WACC of 30 June 2026 is lower than the WACC of 31 December 2025, and therefore applying the updated WACC with the same financial projections would result in higher headroom.

19) Other liabilities
Other non-current liabilities are made up as follows:
The item ‘Payables to personnel’ concerns transa ctions with outgoing employees for the corporate reorganisation process.
The ‘Performance Share’ Plan concerns the cash component of the ‘Performance Shares Plan’ intended for management, referring to the period 2026-2028.

The breakdown of other non-current and current liabilities is given in the following table:
The change is mainly attributable to the item ‘Def erred income’, as a result of the release of the deferral relating to the consideration invoiced for the concession in use of the Venue in the context of the organisation of the XXV Olym pic Winter Games Milano Cortina 2026. The positive effect was partially offset by the increase in the item ‘Pay ables for tax consolidation to the Parent Company’, related to the theoretical IRES on taxable income accrued in the half-year under review.

20) Financial assets and financial liabilities The Group’s financial debt and its composition is shown in the table below:
The Group’s net financial debt not including IFRS 16 lease liability at 30 June 2026 had an availability of Euro 109,366 thousand compared to Euro 157,244 thousand at 31 December 2025.
The decrease of Euro 47,848 thousand is mainly a ttributable to the company acquisitions that took place during the half-year under review and to the payment of dividends; this effect was partially offset by the positive cash flow generated by operating activity for the period.
The net financial indebtedness including the IFRS 16 lease liability am ounted to Euro 197,279 thousand (Euro 163,923 thousand at 31 December 2025).

Changes in liabilities due to bank financing are shown in the following table:
21) Financial and market risk management The Group's main financial instrume nts include bank loans, demand and short-term bank deposits.
Fiera Milano Group has a favourable cash manage ment cycle due to the financial nature of the companies that organise exhibitions and congresses. The organi sers of exhibitions and congresses request an advance from their clients as confirmation of their participation at an event and the balance is usually received before the event is held or at its conclusion. Suppliers of goods and services are paid under the normal payment terms used. This generates negative working capital for the organisers, which gives a cash surplus.
Fiera Milano SpA, the Parent Company, which organi ses exhibitions, and also rents exhibition space to organisers, carries out administrative and cash management services for most of the organisers, receiving on behalf of the latter everything that th e exhibitors pay the organiser. After receiving the cash, Fiera Milano SpA, depending on the contract ual agreements, retrocedes to the organiser what is its due and keeps the payment for the space rented out in the exhibition site and for the services provided. This also allows Fiera Milano SpA to re ceive its payments in advance, as it does the Group Net Financial Debt (Amounts in € '000)30/06/26 31/12/25 change A. Cash 78,640 116,980 (38,340) B.

organisers. Therefore, within Fiera Milano Group, the companies that benefit from this favourable cash management cycle are the companies that organise exhibitions and the Parent Company.
The exposure of the Group to different types of risk is described below.
21.1 Credit risk Credit risk is represented by the Group’s exposure to potential losses from the non-fulfilment of obligations agreed by counterparties. Credit risk is adequately monitored, as is that pertaining to the cash management that characteri ses the business of the Group. Fi era Milano hosts and organises exhibitions that are leaders in their sector and, therefore, the loyalty of exhibitors is high. For the controlling shareholder Fiera Milano SpA, the current system means that all receipts from exhibitors flow into the Fiera Milano SpA accounts and that the latter retrocedes to its clients/organisers the amounts due to them.
With regard to MADE eventi Srl, Ipack Ima Srl and Ma de in Steel Srl, part of the services provided to exhibitors is invoiced and collected on behalf of the individual Group companies by Fiera Milano SpA.
Nevertheless, these companies carry out standard solvency assessments of potential customers and the relevant departments constantly monitor outsta nding amounts so that any appropriate measures for debt recovery are implemented.
Three different categories of credit risk have been identified: organisers, exhibitors and other receivables.
The first risk category is represented by the exhibition organisers ; the receivables included in this category are considered to represent the lowest risk as the Parent Company Fiera Milano SpA manages the cash flows of almost all of th e exhibitions at its two sites.
The second risk category is the exhibitors ; the receivables from this category are considered medium risk as exhibitors have to make payment before the end of the exhibition.
The third risk category is other receivables , which mainly comprises exhibition-related activities (stand-fitting, congresses, promotions, internet servic es) and activities that ar e not exhibition related (sponsorship, advertising, etc.). These receivables are payable under norm al payment conditions.
The Company sometimes uses specific guarantees as a further means of counteracting credit risk.
21.2 Liquidity risk The Group implements measures to ensure that it ha s adequate levels of working capital and liquidity;
any drop in business volumes, caused both by th e seasonal and cyclic nature of the exhibition business, can have an impact on economic performance and the ability to generate cash flows.
As of 30 June 2026, net cash, not including the IF RS 16 lease liability, amounted to Euro 109,366 thousand, a negative change of Euro 47,878 thousand from the 31 December 2025 figure.
The aim of the Group’s risk management, also in th e presence of financial debt, is to guarantee an adequate level of liquidity, minimising the related costs and maintaining a balance between the duration and composition of debt.
In April 2021, the Parent Company entered into an agreement with SIMEST for a loan of Euro 7 million, granted from the funds available under Section 394/8, pursuant to Article 91(1) and (2) of the Decree-
Law of 14 August 2020, No. 104, converted, with amendments, by Law No. 126 of 13 October 2020, and Article 6(3)(1) of Decree-Law No. 137 of 28 October 2020. The loan matures on 31 December 2027, with a 36-month pre-amortisation period. The re sidual debt at 30 June 2026 amounts to Euro 2.6 million.
In April 2025, the Parent Company signed a Euro 10 million ‘Sustainability Linked Loan’ with Credit Agricole Italia, with a maturity of 30 April 2030. This loan is remunera ted with a variable interest rate equal to the 3-month Euribor plus a spread and prov ides for an interest rate adjustment mechanism based on the achievement of two specific sustainability objectives (ESG KPIs). The loan is also subject 82
to the measurement of financial covenants on an a nnual basis. The residual debt at 30 June 2026 amounts to Euro 8 million.
In April 2025, the Parent Company signed a Euro 5 mi llion ‘Sustainability Linked Loan’ with Banco BPM, with a maturity of 31 March 2030 and with 12 months of pre-amortisation. This loan is remunerated with a variable interest rate equal to the 3-month Euribor plus a spread and provides for an interest rate adjustment mechanism based on the achievemen t of two specific sustainability objectives (ESG KPIs). The loan is also subject to the measuremen t of financial covenants on an annual basis. The residual debt at 30 June 2026 amounts to Euro 4.7 million.
In September 2020, the company Expotrans SpA signed a loan of Euro 1.5 million with UniCredit with a maturity of 30 September 2026. Th e residual debt at 30 June 2026 amounts to Euro 0.1 million.
In October 2020, the company Expotrans SpA signed a Euro 1.5 million loan with Banca Popolare di Milano with a maturity of 13 October 2026. This loan is remunerated at a variable interest rate with financial coverage (Interest Rate Swap). The residual debt at 30 June 2026 amounts to Euro 0.1 million.
In October 2021, the company Expotrans SpA signed a loan of Euro 0.4 mil lion with Sace Simest expiring on 31 December 2028. The residual de bt at 30 June 2026 amounts to Euro 0.3 million.
In May 2021, the company MiCo DMC Srl signed a loan of Euro 2.5 million with Banco BPM SpA with a maturity of 19 May 2027. The residual debt at 30 June 2026 amounts to Euro 0.5 million.
In February 2024, the company Event Logistics Srl si gned a loan of Euro 0.2 million with UniCredit with a maturity of 29 February 2028. The residual de bt at 30 June 2026 amounts to Euro 0.1 million.
It should be noted that there is no indication that the Fiera Milano Group will have difficulty meeting its financial covenants when thes e are assessed in future audits.
The Group has bank deposits and liquidity on current accounts, including deposi ts with a maturity of less than three months, amounting to Euro 100.4 mi llion, against total nominal bank debts of Euro 16.4 million, with repayment schedules extending to 2030. In addition, the Group benefits from Euro 44 million in short-term loan facilities. Finally, the 2026-2029 financial projections show that the Group’s recurring activities will ge nerate additional positive cash fl ows, which will further strengthen the financial position and ensure it complies with the covenants agreed with lenders, while maintaining an appropriate financial balance at all times.
21.3 Market risk The Group reserves the right to use appropriat e hedging instruments if market risks become significant.
a) Interest rate risk The Group has access to credit lines at competitive rates and is able to manage interest rate fluctuations. Moreover, the Group constantly moni tors market conditions in order to intervene promptly should conditions change.
b) Exchange rate risk The Group operates in different markets worldwide and, therefore, is exposed to market risks from fluctuations in exchange rates.
As in the previous financial year, this risk remained relatively insignificant despite the Group presence in international markets. The exchan ge rate risk is substantially limited as each country incurs costs in the same currency in which it earns its revenues.
83
c) Risk of changes in raw material prices The conflict in the Middle East between the US and Iran, which began in March 2026 and re-exploded in the first half of July after a brief truce signed in mid-June, has triggered new tensions on the price of energy, suggesting risk mitigation actions by the Group. In this regard, the Group benefits from the potential of the photovoltaic system in the Rho exhibi tion site, with a total capacity of 18 Mwh, able to guarantee 30-35% of the total energy needs. Fo r approximately another third of the 2026 energy needs, the company implemented forward purchases of electricity from its provider at fixed prices during the six-month period , thus limiting the negative effect of any further increases in the market price.
For other raw materials such as wood (used for th e panels of the stands) and polymers (used for graphics, signage, fabrics and carpet ), there were no particular upward dynamics during the half-year.
On the other hand, there were tariff increases during the renewal of some contracts with a high incidence of labour, managed with a % increase not far from the inflation rate.
22) Disclosure on guarantees given, undertakings and other contingent liabilities

38) Related-party transactions Transactions carried out by companies that are part of the Group and with other related parties are normally carried out at market conditions.
As part of the corporate governance actions undertaken, Fiera Milano SpA has adopted a procedure on related party transactions, most recently updated on 13 December 2023, which identifies the rules and controls aimed at ensuring the transparency and substantive and procedural fairness of related party transactions carried out directly by Fiera Milano or through its subsidiaries; as illustrated in the document 'Report on Corporate Governance and Ownership Structures' available on the website www.fieramilano.it under the section 'Investors/Governance/Related Parties Procedure'.
The commercial relations between the companies of Fiera Milano Group concern the organisation and management of exhibitions and other events mana ged by the Group. Fiera Milano SpA provides administrative services to some subsidiaries in order to optimise the use of personnel and professional competences and also provides communication services to subsidiaries to ensure a uniform Group image.
The Italian companies of the Fiera Milano Group, in possession of the legal requirements for access to the regime, exercised the option for national ta x consolidation for IRES pu rposes, with Fondazione Fiera Milano as the consolidating entity. This option has a minimum mandatory duration of three years.
Opting into tax consolidation allows the Fiera Mi lano Group an undoubted economic and financial advantage, in particular as it allows it to immediately utilise the Group's tax losses made during the applicable financial years to offset the income of the consolidated companies, thus immediately realising tax savings from the utilisation of such losses.
Internal legal relations between the companies participating in the tax consolidation are governed by regulations, which also provide for a uniform procedure for the proper fulfilment of tax obligations and related responsibilities of the participating companies.
In the Statement of Financial Position, the Statement of Comprehensive Income and the Statement of Cash Flows, the amounts for related-party po sitions or transactions, if material, are shown separately. Given the total amount of statement of financial position and income statement items, Fiera Milano Group has decided that Euro 2 millio n is the material threshold above which separate disclosure must be made in the Statement of Financia l Position and Euro 1 million is that for separate disclosure in the Income Statement.

With regard to the rental agreement for the Rho exhibition site, the rent was set at Euro 38,800 thousand per year, updated annually based on 100% of the change in the ISTAT consumer price index for blue- and white-collar families. On 15 December 2022, the Rho Lease Agreement was supplemented to include among the leased properties a property complex owned by Fondazione Fiera Milano, consisting of the warehouse located 93
in the Rho exhibition site, in the area known as 'Cargo 2'. This warehouse, which is intended to optimise the structural organisation for the fair stand acti vities of the subsidiary Nolostand SpA, a company specialising in the exhibition stan d business, was subleased to the latt er by Fiera Milano from 1 January 2023. As a result, the rent under the Rho Lease Ag reement was recalculated, increasing the amount to a total of Euro 450 thousand per year.
Subsequently, in 2024, Fiera Milano SpA and Fondazione Fiera Milano signed an agreement amending the Rho Lease Agreement, according to which Fiera Mi lano SpA undertook to relocate its offices to the building known as ‘Torre Orizzontale’ owned by Fo ndazione Fiera Milano located in Rho, largo Fiera MilanoNon. 5, and to release certain buildings and sp aces in the Rho exhibition site effective as of 1 September 2024. Consequently, the lease fee of the Rho Lease Agreement has been reduced by Euro 1,997 thousand. With effect from 1 November 2025, the rental fee is further reduced by Euro 268 thousand for the release by Fiera Milano SpA of certain spaces located at the service centre of the Rho exhibition site. Following the aforementioned redu ctions in the lease payment, Fiera Milano pays Fondazione Fiera Milano, in advance in quarterly in stalments, an annual lease payment of Euro 36,985 thousand, index-linked at 100% to changes in the ISTAT index. For the year 2026, the revalued rent is Euro 43,654 thousand.
At the same time, Fiera Milano SpA entered into a new lease agreement with Fondazione Fiera Milano concerning the offices located in th e 'Torre Orizzontale' adjacent to the Rho exhibition site. The rent is Euro 2,025 thousand per year, updated annually on the basis of 100% of the change in the ISTAT index. The annual fee must be paid in advance quarterly instalments. Subsequently, with effect from 1 November 2025, the company and Fondazione Fiera Milano agree to partially modify the lease agreement in order to include in its object the le ase of new spaces and consequently increase the annual rental fee by Euro 259 thousand. For the year 2026, the revalued rental fee amounts to Euro 2,314 thousand.

For the year 2026, the revalued rent is equal to Euro 3,880 thousand.
On 1 May 2011, the lease agreement for the office building was signed. The contract with a duration of six years starting from 1 July 2011, was subs equently extended until the new deadline of 30 November 2026, following the cancella tion exercised as a result of the signing of the new office lease agreement.

This mechanism makes it easier to settle any tax obligations, without the Company incurring additional costs.

Review report on consolidated condensed interim financial
statements
To the Shareholders of Fiera Milano SpA
Foreword
We have reviewed the accompanying consolidate d condensed interim financial statements of Fiera Milano SpA and its subsidiaries (the “Fiera Milano Group ”) as of 30 June 2026 comprising the consolidated statement of financial position, consolidated s tatement of profit and loss, consolidated statement of comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity , consolidated statement of cash flow and related notes. The directors are responsible for the preparation of the consolidated condensed interim financial statements in accordance with the accounting standard IAS 34 as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board and adopted by the European Union applicable to interim financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on these consolidated condensed interim financial statements based on ou r review.
Scope of review We conducted our work in accordance with the criteria for a review recommended by Consob in Resolution 10867 /1997. A review of consolidated condensed interim financial statements consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than a full -scope audi t conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISA Italia) and, consequently, does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not exp ress an audit opinion on the consolidated condensed interim financial statements.

Conclusion
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the consolidated condensed interim financial statements o f Fiera Milano Group as of 30 June 2026 are not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the accounting standard IAS 34 as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board and adopted by the European Union applicable to interim financial reporting.
