SIGNIFICANT EVENTS
JANUARY
The Crédit Agricole Italia Group achieved the TOP EMPLOYERS certification for the eighteenth year in a row, which testifies to the Group’s unfaltering commitment to creating positive and inclusive work environments oriented to its employees’ well-being and professional growth.
Crédit Agricole reasserted its commitment to inclusion and training with the second edition of the GénérAction Project, implemented in cooperation with ELIS – a nonprofit organiza-
tion that promotes innovation and training projects – in order to strengthen the bond be-
tween Crédit Agricole and the regions it operates in, fostering responsible growth of new generations, also through financial training programmes.
After joining the “Una donna, un lavoro, un conto” (A woman, a job, an account) initiative promoted by the Italian Banking Association (ABI), Crédit Agricole Italia launched a com-
mercial promotion offering an account free of charge to customer women who are joint holders and prospect customer women, in order to implement a concrete measure aimed at promoting financial independence and at fighting economic violence.
FEBRUARY
Crédit Agricole Italia’s Treasury and Cash Management Services obtained the renewal of the ISO 9001 Certification – Quality Management System from Bureau Veritas – a global lead-
ing certifier – testifying to the consistency of the services it provides with the quality stand-
ards.
Crédit Agricole Italia and Crédit Agricole Corporate & Investment Banking ranked, once again this year, at the top in Euromoney Trade Finance Survey. This award, which is given to the best financial institutions globally, gives evidence of the strength, skills and proximity to customers of the Group’s entities.
The partnership between the Group and Save the Children continued with a new edition of Volontari di Valore (Worthy Volunteers), the corporate volunteering project that aims at cre-
ating a relationship network bringing together the Group’s people, the general public, busi-
nesses and the environment, in order to combat digital education poverty.
MARCH
After the success of the first edition, Empirìa – Romagna Marche Crea Impresa, the regional innovation programme promoted by Crédit Agricole Italia, Le Village by CA Triveneto and Wylab, returned, with the goal of supporting the development of new entrepreneurial ideas in the regions and fostering the creation of startups and projects with highly innovative content.
True to its focus on and commitment to combating gender-based violence, Crédit Agricole Italia started to provide a legal assistance service for the coverage of the related expenses to anyone of its people who is a victim of gender-based violence in their private life: a con-
crete measure to offer prompt support to whoever may be in high vulnerability situations.
APRIL
Crédit Agricole Italia S.p.A. was a Main Sponsor of the Management Festival, an event bring-
ing together academics, institutions, managers and entrepreneurs, and focusing on innova-
tion, change, the role of the banking system, growth in managerial capabilities and on the importance of relationships in professional growth processes.

logue between the Bank and academia, bringing university training into the Bank’s premis-
es. Through classes, meetings and opportunities for exchanging views with managers and experts, the project combines academic knowledge, technical skills and a concrete view of banking jobs. Thanks to this initiative, structured relationships with universities could be es-
tablished, also as a driver of attraction of young talents, and the Crédit Agricole Group’s re-
nown as a training and innovative partner could be enhanced.
JUNE
Crédit Agricole Italia successfully finalised its first Premium Covered Bonds (CB) issue of the year.
The issue, of an amount of Euro 1 billion, obtained the participation of many institutional inves-
tors, giving evidence of the issuer’s strong position in the CB segment and of the market’s con-
stant appreciation for Crédit Agricole Italia.

HALF-YEARLY REPORT
ON OPERATION
THE MACROECONOMIC SCENARIO
AND THE FINANCIAL SYSTEM
THE INTERNATIONAL MACROECONOMIC SCENARIO IN 20261,2
In the first six months of 2026 the international economic activity posted overall growth, albeit in two differ-
ent phases. In the first part of the year, the global macroeconomic scenario benefited from the easing in trade tensions, from overall accommodative financial conditions and from considerable investments associated with the artificial intelligence technological cycle.
From February, the worsening in the geopolitical tensions caused the global economy to enter a phase of higher pressure. In a scenario already featuring high geopolitical and financial uncertainty, the new tensions in the Middle East, which involved Iran and the Strait of Hormuz, contributed to increase market volatility and downside risks for the global economic outlook. The rise in oil and natural gas prices progressively transmit-
ted to critical inputs of production, such as fertilizers and petrochemical products, with widespread repercus-
sions on production costs, on household and business confidence and, more in general, on global demand.
Those tensions also caused difficulties in international procurement chains and trade flows, amplifying the impact of higher energy prices on economic activities.
Inflation continued to be a key matter for the main advanced economies, albeit in a different scenario versus the last few years. After inflation progressively went back towards the targets set by the respective monetary policies, the worsening geopolitical tension and the consequent increase in the prices of energy commodities generated new inflationary pressure. This scenario contributed to slowing down the disinflation process that had been going on in the last few years, keeping prices higher than expected and prompting some central banks to reconsider their previous monetary policy stance.
Nevertheless, some elements continued to support the overall picture: the labour market remained strong and investments associated with artificial intelligence continued to drive growth in the economies that are the most integrated in the technology supply chain, in a scenario where demand for advanced semiconduc -
tors constantly exceeded the available supply, fuelling investments throughout the supply chain – from chip manufacturers to digital infrastructure providers, computational capacity and energy. The technology sector was one of the main drivers of performance in international financial markets, albeit with higher and higher market prices and increasing concentration on a small number of high capitalization companies. Although reflecting favourable expectations on the spread of artificial intelligence applications, this configuration in-
creased market players’ focus on the risk of possible corrections subsequent to the downsizing of the sec -
tor's expected growth.
In the second quarter, pressure on energy prices and financial conditions progressively mitigated, albeit without fully going back to the levels of the start of the year, with growth overall in line with the initial expec -
tations but more and more uneven across the various economic areas.
The Euro Area posted a slight decline in the first quarter: the GDP decreased by -0.2% vs the previous quarter, thus interrupting the moderate expansion phase that took place in 2025. This trend was nega-
tively affected both by the slowdown in foreign trade and by the decrease in gross fixed capital for-
mation; conversely, household consumption gave a positive, albeit modest, contribution. This perfor-
mance resulted to a significant extent from the strong contraction in the Irish economy (down by -12.1% quarter over quarter and by -16.8% period over period), as a consequence of the considerable down-

Financial Statements Financial Statements of the Parent Company sizing in exports. This decline was largely determined by a base effect on the same period of last year, when exports posted an exceptional performance, especially exports to the United States, because of stockpiling before the effective date of the tariffs imposed by the US Administration. Net of Ireland, the Euro Area GDP would have grown by +0.3%, thus reflecting the essential stability of economic activ -
ity, despite the far-ranging geopolitical uncertainty. In terms of prices, persisting inflationary pressure – especially in the energy and service sectors – prompted the ECB to raise its key interest rate by 25 bps in June, ending the previous monetary easing phase that lasted two years.
In the first quarter of 2026, the US economy showed resilient growth, with the annualised GDP at +2.1%, driv -
en by consumption and investments. The labour market proved again strong, albeit gradually softening: the unemployment rate remained stable at 4.3%, while the growth in wages slowed down coming to +3.4% YoY.
In terms of prices, after the peak reached in the previous month in the wake of the acceleration that started in March, in June the Consumer Price Index (CPI) slowed down considerably, coming to 3.5% YoY, but remaining nonetheless well above the targets set by the central bank. Concomitantly, the Producer Price Index (PPI) came to 5.5% affected by persistent pressure upstream the production chain, albeit decreasing vs the peak it reached in May (6.0%). Due to the escalation in the Middle East conflict, the interruption in flows through the Strait of Hormuz and its repercussions on global logistics chains, deterioration in the international scenario is the main risk factor. In this scenario, Kevin Warsh took office as the Fed Chairman: at the June 2026 meeting, the first one in his chairmanship, the FOMC kept interest rates unchanged at 3.50-3.75%, revised inflation es-
timates upward to 3.6% and adopted a more hawkish stance, abandoning forward guidance and leaving the possibility of other increases in the year on the table.
In China, in Q2 2026, the economy grew by +4.3% YoY, slowing down vs +5.0% in Q1. It is the weakest growth since Q4 2022, below market expectations and below the official growth target set for this year of 4.5%-5% (the lowest since 1991). This slowdown was due to the weakness in domestic demand and in private invest-
ments, resulting also from the real estate crisis and the war in the Middle East still going on. Conversely, exports and industrial production performed well, proving once again two of the main drivers of the Chinese economy. The growth outlook has remained positive but not as good as in the past. China’s monetary policy has remained accommodative but prudent, aimed at ensuring liquidity without forcing any aggressive eas-
ing, while its fiscal policy is more active but still insufficient, with investments in infrastructure and innovation.
Monetary policies1
Despite all having a data-dependent approach, the main Central Banks worldwide have adopted different actions in H1 2026. The background was dominated by the impact of the energy shock resulting from the conflict in the Middle East, which caused the oil and gas prices to increase significantly vs their level before the war, with consequent pressure on inflation in the short term and marked uncertainty on growth pros-
pects. Specifically:
• For its fourth meeting in a row, the Federal Reserve3 kept the federal funds target range unchanged, name-
ly between 3.50% and 3.75%. This decision, which was adopted unanimously by the FOMC at its meeting on 17 June 2026 – the first one after Kevin Warsh took office as the Fed Chairman succeeding Jerome Powell – falls within a prudent stance that reflects persisting inflationary pressure, with inflation well above the target. The considerations made by the Committee were based on ongoing expansion in the economic activity at a steady pace, as well as on the overall strong labour market, with the unemployment rate sta-
ble at 4.3%. However, inflation has remained significantly above the target level: the Consumer Price Index increased by +3.5% year on year in June 2026 (with the core component at +2.6%), while the Producer Price Index increased by +5.5% year over year. As regards communication, Chairman Warsh determined a net regime change vs. the previous practice, dropping forward guidance and adopting a more restrictive approach, with a monetary policy stance that remains data-dependent and subject to a dynamic analysis of the developments in the macroeconomic scenario, in order to ensure that “the inflation surge of the last five years will be a thing of the past”. Effective as of 1 April 2026, the FED reformed the extra capital requirements it sets for banks that are “too big to fail”, making the requirements more proportional to their sizes and interconnection. This reform has reduced the capital constraint, thus enabling banks to manage their balance sheets more efficiently.

Half-yearly Report on Operation 20 Crédit Agricole Italia Banking Group Half-yearly Consolidated Financial Report as at 30 June 2026 • In H1 2026, the European Central Bank4 reversed the normalisation cycle that had started in 2024, hiking its key interest rates by 25 basis points at its meeting on 11 June 2026, responding to the first inflationary pressure. The interest rates on the ECB deposit facility, on main refinancing operations and on the marginal lending facility came to 2.25%, 2.40% and 2.65%, respectively, effective as of 17 June 2026. The Eurosys-
tem staff new projections expect average headline inflation at 3.0% in 2026, at 2.3% in 2027, with upward revisions for 2026 and 2027 vs the March exercise, mainly due to the higher trajectory of energy prices.
The Governing Council reasserted a data-driven approach, with decisions made on a meeting-by-meeting basis, in accordance with inflation outlook and with the strength of monetary policy transmission, with-
out pre-committing to a specific interest rate trajectory. In terms of its balance sheet, the Asset Purchase Programme (APP) and Pandemic Emergency Purchase Programme (PEPP) portfolios continue to decline at a measured and predictable pace, as the Eurosystem no longer reinvests the principal payments from maturing securities.
• The Bank of England5 kept its Bank Rate unchanged at 3.75% also at its last meeting in H1 (17 June 2026), with the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) voting with a 7 to 2 majority in favour of leaving things un-
changed, while the two dissenting members would have preferred an increase of 25 basis points to 4.00%.
This decision was taken against a background being dominated by the impact of the energy shock, which caused the oil and gas prices to increase significantly vs their level before the war, with consequent di-
rect repercussion on inflation in the short term. CPI inflation came to 2.8% in May, decreasing from 3.3% in March, but it is expected to increase in the second part of the year due to progressive knock-on effect of energy prices: the Committee expects inflation increase to slightly over 3.25% in Q4 2026. The MPC reasserted that monetary policy cannot directly influence energy prices, but must prevent second-round effects from entrenching in wage- and price setting, in order to ensure that inflation sustainably goes back towards the 2% target in the medium term.
• In H1 2026, the Bank of Japan (BoJ) continued with the normalisation of its monetary policy, taking its uncollateralized overnight call rate to 1.00% at its June meeting, at its highest since 1995, as it deemed it appropriate to adjust further the monetary accommodation degree in order to achieve, in a sustainable and stable manner, its 2% price stability target. This target was reflected in the latest surveys of the peri-
od-over-period rate of change in the core CPI (net of fresh food), which came to below 2%, thanks to the Government measures aimed at curbing energy expenses for households, but with increasing risk associat-
ed with the progressive transmission of crude prices to consumer prices of a wide range of goods. At the same time, the BoJ continued to reduce its monthly purchases of Japanese Government Bonds as sched-
uled, in accordance with its planned tapering by roughly 200 billion yen per quarter up to 2,000 billion yen per month as of April 2027. This action falls within the yen strong depreciation, affected by the higher interest rates in the United States and by global tensions. An excessively weak currency could indeed fuel imported inflation, increase the cost of energy imports and could be a financial stability risk factor, consid-
ering the widespread use of the yen as the funding currency in carry trade strategies.
Main economies1
After the good resilience of the world economy in 2025, in Q1 2026 the global GDP growth was modest, being affected by persisting geopolitical and trade tensions. Overall, economic development proved again uneven across the main advanced economies, while emerging Countries kept growing at a faster pace, ben-
efiting from the expansionary stance of the economic policies adopted in several Countries in order to drive consumption and investments, and, as regards Asian economies, from higher exports of technological goods and strong demand for semiconductors:
• In Q1 2026, the United States6 economy proved overall strong, with the with a +2.1% annualised growth in the GDP, driven by domestic demand – especially consumption and investments – against a progressively softening labour market. The external scenario considerably deteriorated with the escalation of the conflict in the Middle East, which caused energy flows through the Strait of Hormuz to halt, as well as damage to production infrastructure in the region, thus reducing the global supply of oil and gas and fuelling strong tensions on commodity prices. In this scenario, the United States’ position as a net energy exported gener-
ated positive impacts on the foreign sector: export prices increased by +11.2% year over year in May 2026, driven by energy commodities and related industrial materials, while import prices grew by +6.7%, with a very considerable spike in fuel prices (up by +45.1% YoY, +47% in the February-May period). On the labour market, the May data showed again a strong but progressively setting situation: unemployment remained at 4.3%, essentially stable vs the summer of 2025, with the labour force participation rate (61.8%) and the 4 www.ecb.europa.eu, Monetary policy decisions.

Financial Statements Financial Statements of the Parent Company employment-to-population ratio (59.2%) also essentially unchanged. Employment growth has remained concentrated on services – leisure, healthcare and local administrations – while financial activities post-
ed a contraction. Wage increase, which came to +3.4% YoY, signalled wage pressure easing. As regards prices, after spiking in the previous months, in June the CPI slowed down to +3.5% YoY, benefiting from growth in energy commodities cooling down thanks to the recent memorandum signed with Iran; the core component also slowed down to +2.6%, vs +2.9% in May. The Producer Price Index (PPI) for final demand increased by +5.5% YoY, giving evidence of persisting pressure on costs along the production chain, am-
plified by the rise in transportation costs and logistics bottlenecks in the Persian Gulf area, albeit not as bad as in the Mach-May period. The scenario described above added to already structurally tense public finances, having to address fast growing defence spending. The US federal debt exceeded $39 trillion (of which over one third maturing within twelve months), equal to 123% of the GDP, while interest expenses came to over $1 trillion a year, being now higher than defence spending. Interest expenses absorb nearly 20% of federal tax revenue, a level close to the all-time-high that occurred in the early 1990s and well above the historical average of about 12%.
• In China7, the H1 2026 data gave evidence of the economy performing well at the beginning of the year, with the GDP growing by +4.7% YoY. However, in Q2 the economic activity slowed down, with the G D P growing by +4.3%, slowing down vs +5.0% in the first three months of the year; it was the slowest pace of growth since Q4 2022. China’s economic activity was driven both by the manufacturing sector and by foreign demand. Industrial output increased by +5.4% YoY: traditional industries grew at a slower pace than technologically-advanced sectors, with the manufacturing industry driven especially by high tech (+13.1%) and capital goods (+9.3%). Specifically, the output of 3D printing devices, lithium-ion batteries and indus-
trial robots increased by +48.5%, +39.3% and +28.0%, respectively, giving further evidence of the growing orientation of Chinese manufacturing towards innovative and higher-added-value sectors. As regards do-
mestic demand, consumption continued to expand, albeit at a modest pace: retail sales of consumer goods increased by +1.3%, while services grew at a faster pace (+5.3%). Conversely, CAPEX decreased by -5.7% YoY, reflecting especially the persistent weakness in the real estate sector (-18.0%), which was partially only offset by the growth in investments in intellectual property (+9.4%) and in high-technology sectors (+4.6%). Foreign trade continued to give a material contribution to growth, increasing by a total of +16.9% in H1, driven by export competitiveness and by the sectors with the highest technology content. According to the latest published data, in June trade surplus stood at $125.62 billion, the highest monthly figure in the half year and above market expectations, while the H1 aggregate figure remained at historically high levels, albeit lower than the figure for the same period of the previous year. Against this backdrop, inflation remained modest, with the Consumer Price Index (CPI) up by +1.0% both in H1 as a whole and in the month of June, reflecting domestic demand not yet on a very strong footing. Concomitantly, producer prices gave signs of improvement, increasing by +1.5% YoY in H1 and by +4.1% in June, after a long phase of weakness.
At the same time, the significant increase in export prices determined, for the first time since May 2023, the disappearance of China’s contribution to the transmission of deflationary pressure to the global economy, marking the end of the “disinflation export” phase. On the labour market, the urban unemployment rate remained essentially stable, standing at 5.2% on average in H1 and decreasing to 5.0% in June, testifying to the overall resilience of the job market, although with differences across sectors and age brackets.
• In the United Kingdom8, the economic activity grew at a modest pace in H1 2026, with the GDP up by +0.6% QoQ, driven by the service sector performance (+0.8%), while the GDP grew by +0.8% period over period. Nevertheless, the latest QoQ indicators point to some weakening in the UK economy: the com-
posite PMI decreased to 49.3 points in June, from 49.7 points in May, with the second month in a row of contraction in the private sector activity after expanding for eleven months and coming to its lowest in the last fourteen months. The Consumer Confidence Index continuously declined (down by -23 points in June 2026, unchanged vs. May), standing at its all-time low since the end of 2023, and the Bank Rate being kept at 3.75% generated upward pressure on borrowing costs of households and of the public sector. In terms of employment, in Q1 2026 the unemployment rate came to 5.0% vs 5.2% as at the end of 2025, in a context featuring slowdown in demand for jobs, especially in the sectors that were the most exposed to the increase in minimum wages. The performance of inflation was affected by the geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, the impact of which on energy prices and imports temporarily slowed down its decrease and it went up to 3.3% in March. Nevertheless, the implementation of the fiscal measures under the Autumn Budget contributed to curbing energy and fuel costs for consumers, facilitating a decrease in inflation to 2.8% in April. At the same time, the continuous easing in tension on the labour market fostered the pro-
gressive reduction in pressure on domestic prices, while the actual tariff rate on UK exports to the United States remained essentially unchanged, despite the ruling of the US Supreme Court, which, in February 7 OECD, World Economic Outlook (June 2026); National Bureau of Statistic of China (July 2026).

Half-yearly Report on Operation 22 Crédit Agricole Italia Banking Group Half-yearly Consolidated Financial Report as at 30 June 2026 2026, held that the (International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) of 1977 does not give the President the authority to impose unilateral tariffs and ruling that the taxing power lies exclusively with Congress. Due to political instability and to the loss of institutional anchors subsequent to the resignation of Prime Minister Starmer in June, Gilts temporarily underperformed vs other European government secu-
rities; however, thanks to the prompt appointment of the new Prime Minister, Andy Burnham, the repercus-
sion on markets was very small.
• In H1 2026, the Russian economy8 gave signs of structural weakening and progressive stagnation and en-
tered a phase in which the main issue is the affordability in the medium term of its wartime growth model.
After two years during which the economy was driven by military spending and public investments, in the January-March period the GDP declined by -0.3% period over period, the first decrease since 2023, with industrial production that was affected by the strong decrease in fixed investments, which were penalised by high borrowing costs. The fiscal situation also showed increasing tensions: the pressure on public ex -
penditure, continuing to support the defence sector, caused the deficit to hit, in the first five months of the year, 2.6% of the GDP, well above the annual target. The main balancing factor in the Russian economy continued to be the energy sector: the increase in oil prices resulting from the Middle East crisis gave rev -
enue some breathing space, but the discounts imposed on Russian crude, higher logistics costs and finan-
cial restrictions have continued to impact on actual revenues. As regards monetary policies, in a scenario featuring well-established inflationary pressure, the Central Bank kept a restrictive stance, cutting its key interest rate only once by 25 basis points in June, taking it to 14.25%. This action resulted from the mone-
tary authority’s will to curb inflation and anchor the related expectations for households, which, at the end of H1 2026, were still very high. The unemployment rate remained at all-time low levels (2.1% in May), but this is likely the result of military mobilisation, emigration of skilled workers and population ageing.
EURO AREA1
In H1 2026, the Euro Area macroeconomic data slightly decreased: the GDP declined by -0.2% vs the previous quarter, interrupting a phase of modest expansion. The slowdown affected the overall economic activity and was amplified by Ireland’s negative growth (-12.1%), due to export normalisation after the extraordinary peak it hit in 2025. However, excluding the Ireland impact, the Euro Area real GDP would have increased by +0.3%, slightly slowing down vs its +0.4% growth in Q4 2025. The general performance was negatively affected not only by the slowdown in foreign trade (-0.3 p.p.) but also by the decrease in gross fixed capital formation (-0.1 p.p.), while household consumption provided only marginal support (+0.1 p.p.). On an individual basis, some unevenness amongst the main Countries has remained: Spain +0.6%, Germany +0.3%, Italy +0.3% and France -0.1%.
In June 2026, the Euro Area inflation9 has been estimated at +2.8% YoY, slowing down vs. May’s figure of +3.2% YoY. The period-over-period change was mainly driven by energy goods, which posted the highest an-
nual rate (+8.7% YoY) but markedly slowed down vs +10.8% YoY in the previous month. Next was the service sector, slowing down to +3.2% YoY (from +3.5% in May), food, alcoholic beverages and tobacco decreasing to +1.6% YoY (vs +1.9% in the previous month), and lastly non-energy industrial goods which remained stable at +0.9% YoY. Inflation partially moving away from the 2% target, due to the persisting pressure on energy goods and services, prompted the European Central Bank to reverse its accommodative stance increasing its key interest rate by 25bps in June 2026.
Industrial output10 slightly recovered in the first months of 2026, posting a modest increase in April (+0.1% vs March) and YoY growth of +0.3%. The increase vs March was driven by growth in non-durable (+1.7%) and durable (+1.0%) consumer goods, while capital goods decreased (-0.5%) as did energy (-0.4%). Conversely, vs April 2025 growth was mainly driven by capital goods (+3.4%) and energy (+1.6%).
The unemployment rate11, coming to 6.3% in May, was stable vs the previous month and decreased slightly vs. the May 2024 figure (6.3%); the number of unemployed persons stood at 10,986 million, down by 55 thou-
sand persons vs. April 2026 and down by 158 thousand persons vs. May 2025.

Financial Statements Financial Statements of the Parent Company On 3 June the European Commission published the 2026 European Semester Spring package12, which sets the Union’s strategic priorities in a scenario of high geopolitical uncertainties. The document places stronger competitiveness, strategic autonomy, economic and social resilience at the core of the EU action, reasserting the need to combine investments and fiscal sustainability. The Member States have been invited to close the gap in innovation, to promote decarbonization, to strengthen the single market and support human capital through quality employment, reskilling and upskilling. In terms of economic governance, the package confirmed the centrality of the Country-specific recommendations, which are based on the assessment of progress in the implementation of medium-term fiscal-structural plans. Fiscal surveillance takes into account the flexibility for defence under the National Escape Clause, which allows individual Member States to tem-
porarily deviate from their fiscal adjustment paths to fund energy security and resilience, up to a total cap of 1.5% of the GDP. The Commission also assessed satisfying progress by the most part of the Member States in fiscal discipline, recommending the abrogation of the excessive deficit procedure for Malta and starting a review on Bulgaria.
As regards Italy13, the Commission assessed the public finance path as overall positive, with net spending development in 2026 – estimated between 1.4% and 1.6% – essentially in line with the European parameters.
Nevertheless, Italy continues to be classified among those with macroeconomic imbalances, albeit with no excessive situation, and the Commission has called for the need to preserve appropriate budget margins to cope with any geopolitical and energy shocks.
A specific call concerned the defence spending level. According to the Classification Of the Functions Of Government (COFOG), in 2023 Italy allocated Euro 25.6 billion to that function, equal to 1.2% of its GDP, an amount below the European average and far from the objectives embedded in the EU’s new strategies. The ordinary allocations provided for by the Budget Law stood at Euro 31.3 billion in 2025, and are expected to remain essentially stable in the following two years (Euro 31.2 billion in 2026 and Euro 31.7 billion in 2027).
The new European fiscal framework provides for additional margins – albeit limited – through escape clauses for defence and energy security expenditure, which the Country may use to accelerate its compliance roadm-
ap, within a complex balance between national security needs, fiscal sustainability and compliance with the EU rules.
In Germany14, the GDP increased by +0.3% vs the previous quarter, while, year on year, it grew by +0.5%, giving evidence of general stabilisation vs the recent past. The QoQ improvement mainly resulted from for-
eign trade, with exports of goods and services up by +3.3% vs the previous quarter, driven especially by the chemical-pharmaceutical and manufacturing sectors. Conversely, imports posted marginal growth (+0.1%), nonetheless contributing to the improvement of the net foreign balance. As regards domestic demand, final consumption increased by +0.4% in total QoQ, mainly driven by public expenditure (+1.1%), while household consumption remained essentially stable. As regards investments, gross fixed capital formation significantly contracted (-1.5%), due to both the decrease in investments in machinery and equipment (-1.2%) and by the stronger decline in the construction sector (-2.5%), also because of unfavourable weather conditions in the winter months. In terms of supply, added value increase to a marginal extent (+0.1%), with some signs of re-
covery in the manufacturing sector (+0.7%), albeit unevenly across industries: specifically, while orders in the industry of means of transport for defence steadily expanded, the automotive industry posted a contraction in volumes and in the order backlog, being impacted by hard global competitive pressure and by complex structural reorganisations. Problems have persisted in the sectors of metalwork, mechanics and construction (-0.6%), while the service sector remained overall stable. To boost the GDP and fend off the spectre of pro-
longed stagnation, the German Government has recently presented a reform plan focusing on pensions, the labour market and tax cuts for Euro 10 billion for low- and medium-income groups, in order to counter US tariffs and China’s strong competition in the automotive industry.

Half-yearly Report on Operation 24 Crédit Agricole Italia Banking Group Half-yearly Consolidated Financial Report as at 30 June 2026 In France15 the GDP slightly contracted (-0.1% vs the previous quarter), interrupting the modest growth post-
ed in Q4 2025 (+0.2% vs Q3 2025) and giving evidence of economic activity being in a stagnation phase. This performance was mainly due to the negative contribution from foreign trade (-0.9 p.p.), as a consequence of the marked decrease in exports (-3.5% vs Q4 2025) and a smaller decrease in imports (-0.9%). Domestic demand net of inventories also gave a negative contribution to economic growth (-0.2 p.p.), reflecting a decrease both in household consumption (-0.2%) – which was impacted mostly by the reduction in spend-
ing for energy and food – and in gross fixed capital formation (-0.6%), with the contraction being especially large in the construction sector (-1.7%). The GDP contraction extent was only partially limited by the posi-
tive contribution of changes in inventories (+1.0 p.p.), concentrated especially in the aeronautical industry.
Government spending also grew (+0.3%), but it could not offset the weakness in the other demand compo-
nents. As regards consumption, the growth in households’ disposable income was fully offset by the acceler-
ation in prices, determining a reduction, albeit slight, in the purchasing power by consumption unit (-0.1%). In this scenario, households further increased their savings rate to 17.9% of their disposable income, evidence of still weal confidence. In terms of supply, production grew slightly (+0.1%) and in a very uneven manner: mod-
est growth in the manufacturing industry (+0.6%) and in services (+0.4%) went alongside a strong decline in the construction sector (-1.8%). The labour market proved essentially stable: worked hours remained almost unchanged (-0.1%) and total employment did not post any significant change. However, the unemployment rate continued to increase, albeit at a modest pace (8.2% vs 8.0% in Q4 2025).
In Spain16, the GDP grew QoQ by +0.6% in the first three months of 2026, at a slightly slower pace than in the previous quarter (+0.8%). This performance was due to the positive contribution from domestic demand (+0.5 p.p.) and a smaller contribution from foreign demand (+0.1 p.p.). Specifically, the domestic compo-
nent was driven mainly by household final consumption expenditure, up by +0.6% QoQ, and by government spending (+0.5%), while gross fixed capital formation grew at a slower pace (+0.1%) than in the previous quarters. As regards foreign trade, exports of goods and services contracted (-0.6%), as did imports (-1.0%), determining an overall modest foreign contribution to growth. The GDP grew period over period by +2.7%, slightly decreasing vs the previous quarter (+2.6%), largely driven by domestic demand, which contributed by +3.5 percentage points, while the contribution from foreign demand was negative (-0.8 p.p.). Specifically, final consumption grew by +3.0% YoY (+3.2% households and +2.4% the public sector), while investments grew at a very robust pace (+5.8% YoY). Prices grew by +3.2% period over period, slowing down vs the previ-
ous quarter, while wages continued to grow at a steady pace (+7.2% YoY), giving evidence of the labour mar-
ket strength. Employment also expanded, with full-time equivalent jobs increasing by +2.8% year over year.

THE ITALIAN ECONOMY
In Q1 2026 the Italian economy grew by +0.3%17 vs the last quarter of 2025, and it grew by +0.8% year over year (the +0.7% preliminary estimate was revised upward); conversely, the European performance proved weaker, with the GDP decreasing QoQ both in the EU (-0.2%) and in the Euro Area (-0.1%), while it grew pe-
riod over period by +0.3% and +0.7% respectively. The growth in Italy’s GDP was mainly driven by domestic demand net of inventories, which contributed by +0.4 percentage points, thanks especially to household and Private Social Institutions consumption (+0.3 p.p.) and, to a lesser extent, thanks to investments (+0.1 p.p.).
Conversely, the change in inventories gave a strongly negative contribution (-1.1 p.p.), largely offset by the significant contribution of net foreign demand (+0.9 p.p.). As regards supply, there was a decrease in agricul-
ture (-0.5%), essential stagnation in manufacturing (0.0%) and growth in services (+0.4%).
Household18 final consumption continued to grow in Q1, up by +2.9% YoY (+1.4% Q1 2026 vs Q4 2025) driven by gross disposable income, which increased by +3.2% in the same period. Growth in household purchasing power proved on a stronger footing, increasing by +1.5% period over period, as it benefited from the inflation curve performance. Propensity to save stood at 8.0% in the January-March period, increasing by +0.2 p.p.
both YoY and QoQ.
In June 2026, consumer confidence19 decreased vs the previous month, coming to 92.4 from 93.4, but recov -
ering vs the all-time low it hit in April (90.8). Breaking down by component, the economic climate and future climate improved, while personal and current climate worsened. Conversely, business confidence performed the other way around, increasing to 95.2 from 94.2 in May. The index improved across all the surveyed eco-
nomic sectors. The largest improvement took place in retail trade, which grew to 105 from 101.3.

Half-yearly Report on Operation 26 Crédit Agricole Italia Banking Group Half-yearly Consolidated Financial Report as at 30 June 2026 In the first three months of 2026, net government debt20 stood at -7.8% of the GDP, improving vs -8.4% in the same period of last year, as the combined result of the period-over-period increase in total outflows (+2.6%) and in total inflows (+4.0%). In terms of weight on the GDP, the primary balance and the revenue balance were both negative, amounting to -4.4% (-4.7% in Q1 2025) and to -2.9% (-3.3% in the same period of last year), respectively. The tax revenue to GDP ratio slightly increased, coming to 37.6%, up by +0.3 p.p. YoY.
In May 2026, industrial output21 decreased slightly month over month (-0.3% vs April) interrupting growth that have been going on for three months in a row. The decrease took place across all the main industrial sectors, with the only exception of energy (+4.6%), while the largest contraction occurred in intermediate goods (-0.8%). Consumer goods (-0.5%) were affected by a negative contribution from both components, with durable goods down by -2.5%; on the other hand, capital goods proved essentially stable (-0.1%). Having regard to economic activity sectors, the best QoQ performances were achieved in the manufacturing of coke and refined petroleum products (+6.1%), in the supply of electricity, gas, steam and air (+4.4%) and in the wood, paper and print industries (+2.2%). On the other hand, the most material decreases took place in the manufacturing of electrical equipment and non-electrical appliances (-2.2%) and in the manufacturing of ma-
chinery and equipment (-2.0%). The year-over-year comparison, net of calendar effects, shows improvement in production: in May 2026 the general index grew by +1.1% vs the same month of last year and, in the first five months of this year, the increase came to +0.6%. The period-over-period growth was driven especially by capital goods (+5.0% YoY), while consumer goods continued to show signs of weakness (-3.2% YoY). Some of the fastest growing sectors were the manufacturing of means of transport (+11.6% YoY), manufacturing of basic pharmaceutical products and pharmaceutical preparations (+3.5% YoY) and the manufacturing of chemical products (+3.3% YoY).
In Q1 2026 gross fixed capital formation21 increased by +0.7% vs Q4 2025 and by +4.6% period over period, in a scenario that proved overall more uneven and more concentrated on specific sectors. Quarter-over-quar-
ter changes showed modest growth and recomposition of growth sources, with higher and higher contri-
bution from capital goods: investments in plant, machinery and armaments grew by +2.3% (+2.0% means of transport), with more modest increases in intellectual property products (+0.8%). Conversely, the construc -
tion sector showed signs of weakness (-0.4%), as the combined result of the marked decline in the residential component (-2.7%) and the growth in non-residential buildings and other works (+1.3%). Period over period there was considerable discontinuity across the main expense items: against significant recovery in the home segment (+16.6% YoY), the steady growth in investments in machinery and armaments (+6.6% YoY) and the more modest growth in intellectual property products (+2.3%), non-residential buildings and other works decreased by -3.2% YoY.
In the first four months of 2026, foreign trade22 saw exports growing period over period by +3.2% YoY, at a faster pace than imports (+1.4% YoY). The balance of trade proved again largely positive, with the surplus increasing to Euro +15.2 billion, improving vs last year (Euro +11.3 billion). Among the sectors that gave the largest contributions to YoY growth in exports worth mentioning are basic metals and fabricated metal products (except machinery and equipment, +32.9%), coke and refined petroleum products (+52.0%) and motor vehicles (+16.1%). The growth in imports was mitigated by the decrease in consumer goods (-4.0%) and energy (-6.1%).
The June 2026 data gave evidence of some slight deceleration in consumer prices23 (consumer price index for the whole nation), which increased by +3.0% YoY (+3.2% in May), while the month-over-month change was zero. This trend reflected the easing in tensions both in goods, driven by the slowdown in prices of un-
processed food (+4.5% YoY vs +5.5% in May), and in services, especially transportation (+1.1% YoY vs +1.7% in May), while energy goods performed the other way around and the increase in their prices accelerated (prices of regulated ones were up by +9.3% vs 5,6% in May and those of non-regulated ones by 12.9% vs 12.5% in May). The Harmonized Index of Consumer Prices (HICP) increased by +0.1% month over month and by +3.1% year over year, marginally slowing down vs +3.2% in May. The period-over-period growth in the “market basket” prices also slowed down, coming to +1.6% vs +1.9% in the previous month, as did core inflation, which slightly decreased to 1.6% to 1.7%.

Financial Statements Financial Statements of the Parent Company Having regard to the labour market24, after showing a growth trajectory in the first part of the year, in May 2026 the unemployment rate came to 5.0% (down by 0.1 p.p. vs. the April figure), standing well below the recent time series levels and confirming its decreasing trend vs last year. The employment rate slightly slack -
ened coming to 63.0% (-0.1 p.p.), while the inactivity rate (33.6%) increased month over month (+0.2 p.p.) but decreased year over year. Worth mentioning is that the number of employed persons hit 24.336 million, with stronger footing at its all-time high and increasing by 228 thousand persons vs May 2025.
With a total amount of Euro 194.4 billion, the package of reforms provided for by Italy’s Recovery and Resilience Plan continues to be one of the main drivers of the development and modernisation of the Italian economy. The disbursement of the ninth and penultimate tranche of funds, amounting to Euro 12.8 billion and linked to the achievement of 50 objectives in H2 2025, was approved by the European Commission on 29 April and paid on 3 June. To date, Italy has received Euro 166 billion, equal to 85% of the allocated resources, and achieved 416 Milestones and Targets, accounting for 72% of the 575 objectives laid down by the Plan in total. The deadlines for the Plan completion remains scheduled on 31 August of this year, the date by which the remaining 159 objectives still to be achieved shall be assessed, to which the last tranche of about Euro 28.4 billion to be paid by 31 December 2026 is linked.

Half-yearly Report on Operation 28 Crédit Agricole Italia Banking Group Half-yearly Consolidated Financial Report as at 30 June 2026
THE BANKING SYSTEM1,25,26,27
The first months of 2026 featured a still extremely uncertain geopolitical and macroeconomic scenario, af-
fected by the risk of a new energy crisis. Such a scenario may fuel further inflationary pressure, determine the tightening of financial conditions and cause growth prospects to be revised down, especially as regards Italy.
The possible repercussions on financial markets, on monetary policies and on the real economy have brought back attention to the banking sector resilience. Some of the main risk factors are the potential worsening in customers’ repayment ability, hit by higher energy costs, as well as the persisting high volatility on markers and geopolitical uncertainty. Nevertheless, these risks are mitigated by the overall strength of the Italian banking system, which, thanks also to the consolidation process, continues to have high capital levels, liquid-
ity and profitability; on top of this, prudent provisioning policies have been kept in force and contribute to strengthen the system’s capacity to absorb shocks.
In Q1 2026 the Italian banking system achieved once again high profitability levels: the six largest banks posted net income increasing by nearly +3% vs the same period of 2025, with the ROE still above 15%. The performance of revenues reasserted the already seen recomposition of income sources: net interest income continued to show signs of deceleration, being affected by the developments in interest rates and by the higher complexity in the macroeconomic scenario, which was offset by the performance of fee and com-
mission income and by the increasing contribution from non-core revenues (especially dividend income and gains from the insurance business. Overall, the banking industry profitability benefited also from effective control of operating expenses and loan impairment, which proved again at very low levels, although with ma-
terial impacts from extraordinary taxation (increase in the rate of Italian Regional Tax on Productive Activities (IRAP) for banks and financial intermediaries).
Cost items remained overall under control, with investments in technology, digitalization and ICT securi-
ty being mitigated by the effects of structural rationalisation actions. IT expenses have become more and more central in the business plans recently presented by the main banking groups, also subsequent to the progressive adoption of artificial intelligence in internal processes, in the models for serving customers and in risk management and control activities. Furthermore, the technology component tends to become more and more recurring due to continuous updating of operational platforms, strengthening of cybersecurity systems and outsourcing of infrastructural components, reducing the degree to which expense items are discretionary. Personnel costs also proved material, being affected by the renewal of the Italian national col-
lective bargaining agreement for the banking industry and by voluntary redundancy plans, as did expenses associated with higher regulatory and compliance complexity.
As regards lending, in the first months of 2026 the recovery in lending to the private sector proved on a stronger footing, albeit at an overall modest pace. Loans to households continued to grow, driven both by home loans, which were fuelled by the recovery in the real estate market, and by the improvement in demand for mortgage loans which took place in the last part of 2025, as well as by consumer loans, despite higher caution due to the erosion in real income. After posting negative growth in the last few years, lending to businesses also confirmed recovery, benefiting from demand for loans being driven by the increasing need to fund capital formation, and by decreasing liquidity (albeit still at quite positive levels).
The quality of bank loans proved again structurally sound, benefiting from risk ratios and indicators that, in the first part of 2026, remained low, thanks to the resilience of households and businesses, to strong corpo-
rate balance sheets and to prudence in provisioning policies. Because of the geopolitical scenario, however, attention did remain high on the sectors that were the worst hit by higher energy and transportation prices and by the weakness in domestic and foreign demand, being affected by increasing pressure in terms of rate of impairment, which at the end of 2025, had decreased to 1.2% vs. 1.4% in 2024.
The Italian banking system’s capital strength has remained on a virtuous path, driven by self-funding from earnings, still at high levels, and by capital management policies that are consistent with the regulatory set-
ting. This strength, which has been built over time, enables the Italian banking system to address, with the appropriate balance, the increasing risks associated with the worsening in the geopolitical scenario, market volatility and higher and higher cyber threats.

Financial Statements Financial Statements of the Parent Company That scenario resulted in the business performances given below28:
In May 2026 loans to households and businesses came to Euro 1,304 billion, increasing YoY (stable vs. the previous month). Specifically, in April 2026 loans to households increased by +2.6% YoY (vs +2.7% in March), thanks to acceleration both in home loans (+3.4% YoY) and in consumer loans (+4.7% YoY).
In April 2026 non-performing loans (bad loans, unlikely to pay and past due and/or overlimit exposures), net of writedowns and provisions, decreased to Euro 25.9 billion (vs Euro 27.7 billion as at December 2025), remaining well below the maximum level of Euro 196.3 billion reached in 2015. Consequently, the ratio of net non-performing loans to total loans came to 1.24%, decreasing vs. December 2025 (1.32%).
In May 2026, total direct funding (resident customers’ deposits and bonds) came to Euro 2,166 billion, up by +2.6% YoY. This performance reflects growth both in customers’ deposits (+2.3% YoY) and in bonds (+5.0% YoY).
In May 2026, Interest rates on loans to customers started to embed market expectations for an increase in key interest rates by the ECB (which took place in June), with the rate on new home loans slightly increasing to 3.49% (vs 3.38% as at December 2025 and 3.11% as at December 2024) and the weighted average rate on total loans coming to 4.04% (vs 3.96% as at December 2025 and 4.44% as at December 2024). The only exception is the rate on new loans to corporates, which decreased to 3.51% (vs 3.59% as at December 2025 and 4.40% as at December 2024).
The performance of the interest rate on bank funding did not undergo any material changes (0.91% in May 2026) stable vs the previous month (-1bp) and slightly increasing vs December 2025 (+3bps). It is also point-
ed out that the rate on deposits with an agreed maturity in Euro applied to households and non-financial corporations came to 2.22% in May, up by +10bps vs. December 2025, while it decreased vs the December 2024 figure (-67bps).
The spread on new transactions between the average rate on loans to households and non-financial corpo-
rations and the average one on funding decreased vs. the end of 2025 coming, in May, to 184 basis points (vs. 213 in December 2025).
In May 2026 assets under management29 posted net outflows of Euro -3.6 billion, taking the progressive figure essentially to a breakeven point (Euro -0.4 billion), with growth in collective investment management (up by Euro +7.5 billion) which almost totally offset the outflows from portfolio management. Over total assets under management, the portion under collective management schemes (open-end and closed-end funds) stood at Euro 1,454 billion, equal to 55% of total AuM: investments in portfolio management came to Euro 1,213 billion and accounted for the remaining 45% of total AuM.
The sustainability (ESG) topic continues to be a certainly material element for the banking industry, albeit without any further specific developments in the regulatory framework on ESG reporting. Climate-related risk is one of the main structural challenges in the medium term for banks, as it entails considerable adap-
tation costs and requires intermediaries to achieve an increasing ability to forestall risks and to upgrade their operating model. In this scenario, investments and initiatives associated with the digital and energy transition remain central, also through lending to the sectors eligible for state incentives and for programmes under Italy’s Recovery and Resilience Plan. An interesting event in the ESG scope was the approval of Italian Legislative Decree of 10 June 2026, which has transposed Regulation (EU) 2024/3005 on environmental, social and governance rating into the Italian law. The new provisions aim at strengthening the reliability and comparability of sustainability ratings imposing obligations on ESG rating providers to have authorisation, transparency on rating methodologies, governance and management of conflicts of interest, without setting harmonised methodologies but making rating assessment criteria, limits and assumptions clearer and more disclosed. A qualifying factor is that the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) and CONSOB (Italian Securities and Exchange Commission) as the Italian competent authority, have been vested with a core supervisory role (including the authorisation to ESG rating providers to operate), in order to strengthen market oversight and reduce opacity and greenwashing risks.

SIGNIFICANT EVENTS IN THE REPORTING PERIOD
Covered bonds
In June 2026 the Crédit Agricole Italia Banking Group finalised a new issue of Premium Covered Bonds for an amount of Euro 1 billion and with maturity of 11 years (maturity on 24 June 2037).
With large participation of international investors, the issue achieved demand for bonds for over Euro 1.6 billion, thus testifying to its being favourably received by the market.
Pillar II - Globe The new international tax rules laid down by the OECD in order to impose a top-up tax on profits of large multinational enterprises when the effective tax rate (ETR) in force in a jurisdiction in which they are based is below 15% entered into force on 1 January 2024.
In accordance with the related EU Directive adopted at the end of 2022 (Directive (EU) 2022/2523) and transposed in the EU Member States (in Italy with Legislative Decree no. 209 of 27 December 2023), the Crédit Agricole Italia Banking Group estimated the GloBE top-up tax as at 30 June 2026.
The result of the estimate was a GloBE top-up tax equal to zero for Italy jurisdiction as at 30 June 2026.
Geographical coverage optimisation In a market where customers are increasingly opting for digitalization, Crédit Agricole Italia’s geographical coverage optimisation plan has been going on aimed at evolving its service model and at rationalising its geographical footprint.
In H1 2026 the revision of the commercial structure entailed the closure of 46 branches, with the goal of adopting a leaner, more effective and more differentiated geographical coverage model that is fit for the specific features of the various regions the Group operates in.
In this scope, the human factor has nonetheless remained central, a core element of the management the trust relationship with customers and of advisory services aimed at meeting the most complex needs.

PERFORMANCE OF OPERATIONS
In a macroeconomic scenario affected by the developments in the war in the Middle East and the related effects on energy markets, with the subsequent increase in the risk of inflation transmitting to goods and services, the Crédit Agricole Italia Group proved once again its strength continuing to generate sustainable profitability thanks to its balanced and diversified business model whereby the Group can tangibly support the Italian economy and accelerate its technological transformation to the benefits of its customers.
In H1 2026 the commercial development in the main business lines proved once again strong, with results generally outperforming the period targets and growing vs. the same period of last year.
In a market scenario that features increasing customer digitalization, the customer base continued to grow, with the acquisition of over 100 thousand new customers driven by the development strategy deployed through the digital channel and by the commercial initiatives targeting young people, households and busi-
nesses.
Further evidence of customers’ trust in our Group was given by growth in intermediated assets, which hit Euro 262 billion, increasing by Euro 12 billion YoY (up by +5%).
In the first 6 months of this year, the Group originated loans in an amount of Euro 5.3 billion (up by +9% YoY), placed roughly Euro 8 billion in asset management products through its sale channels and attracted new funding inflows amounting to Euro 1.6 billion. Within its funding activities, Crédit Agricole Italia successfully finalised its first issue in the year of Premium Covered Bonds (CB) in an amount of Euro 1 billion; it has been the CB issue with the longest maturity in the market since the start of the year.
Constant control has been kept on loan quality, with the weight of net non-performing loans on total loans came to below 1%; furthermore, the NPE coverage ratio strengthened even further, from 59.4% in December 2025 to 61.2% in June 2026, giving once again evidence of the high asset quality. The cost of credit stood at 29 bps.
The Bank continues to have a wide liquidity buffer, with the LCR at 192.9% and the NSFR at 132.9%.

LOANS TO CUSTOMERS
As at 30 June 2026, total net loans to customers hit Euro 67.3 billion, growing by +1.0% since the start of the year, driven by both demand for home loans by households and loans to businesses.
Once again the Group provided constant support to the real economy, focusing especially on the ESG tran-
sition, through:
• Origination of Home Loans for Euro 1.8 billion, increasing (+1%) vs the same period of last year and pro-
gressively growing in H1.
Consistently with the Group’s ESG strategy, the weight of green mortgage loans increased to 27% of the total (vs 24% in 2025), concentrating in the best energy efficiency classes (A, B) and was driven by the results of the promotional campaign that went live in February;
• Origination of loans and mortgage loans to corporates in an amount of Euro 3.1 billion, considerably growing vs 2025 (up by +17%) and with constant and prudent oversight of risk management.

ASSET QUALITY
Asset quality proved once again progressively and constantly improving, with total net non-performing loans coming to Euro 0.7 billion, down by Euro 68 million (-9% vs December 2025).
The weight of net non-performing loans also improved, coming to 0.97%, down by -0.11 p.p. Vs the end of last year, as did the weight of gross non-performing loans, which decreased to 2.5% down by -0.16 p.p. vs December 2025.
The coverage ratio of NPLs further improved coming to 61.2%, up by +1.8 points vs. December 2025.
FUNDING FROM CUSTOMERS
Total funding, as the sum of direct and indirect funding, came to Euro 194.6 billion, increasing by over Euro 3.1 billion (up by +1.6% vs 31 December 2025).
Indirect funding exceeded Euro 115 billion, increasing by Euro 3.3 billion in H1 (+3.0%) driven especially by assets under management, which grew to Euro 59.1 billion (up by +3.3% vs December 2025); assets under administration also grew by Euro 1.4 billion hitting Euro 56.6 billion (up by +2.6% vs the end of last year).
Direct funding from Customers remained stable at Euro 78.9 billion (in line with the figure as at December 2025).
NET INTERBANK POSITION
As at 30 June 2026 the net interbank position reported a credit position of Euro 9.1 billion. The increase vs 31 December 2025 (Euro +5 billion) resulted from a larger liquidity amount deposited in the required reserve subsequent to the smaller use of demand deposits at the ECB, which, as at 31 December 2025, were classified under cash and cash equivalents.
The liquidity position has proved again well above the regulatory requirements (LCR at 192.9%).
EQUITY
As at 30 June 2026, the Group book equity stood at Euro 8.8 billion, increasing by 2.6% vs 31 December 2025; the increase resulted mainly from the profit for the period and from the issue of equity instruments for Euro 220 million, net of dividends paid out in H1 amounting to Euro 440 million.

OWN FUNDS AND CAPITAL ADEQUACY
Within the annual Supervisory Review and Evaluation Process (SREP), the European Central Bank confirmed the minimum capital requirements for Crédit Agricole Italia on a consolidated basis. Therefore, the SREP re-
quirements as at 30 June 2026 are the following:
• 8.76% for the Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) ratio;
• 10.59% for the Tier 1 (T1) ratio;
• 13.03% for the Total Capital ratio.
The figures reported above include the Combined Buffer Requirement, equal to the sum of the Capital Con-
servation Buffer (CCB, of 2.50%) and the Systemic Risk Buffer (SyRB, of 0.78%).
Within its day-to-day capital management activities, Crédit Agricole Italia continuously monitors full compli-
ance, present and forward-looking, with all regulatory minimum requirements. The ratios are monitored on a continuous basis, also through the analysis of the components of Own Funds, optimising the composition and costs of Additional Tier 1 and Tier 2 subordinated instruments.
Crédit Agricole Italia’s Common Equity Tier 1 stood at Euro 6,026 million as at 30 June 2026, increasing by Euro 156 million vs. December 2025, mainly as a result of book equity items (including the retained portion of the H1 profit and the interest paid on the outstanding Additional Tier 1 instruments). In the reporting pe-
riod, total Own Funds increased by Euro 459 million, benefiting by the issues of subordinated instruments finalises in H1.
As at 30 June 2026, risk-weighted assets (RWA) came to Euro 45,526 million, up by Euro 1,766 million vs 31 December 2025, mainly as a result of commercial developments.
Following the above-reported developments, the CET1 ratio as at 30 June 2026 came to 13.2% (13.4% as at 31 December 2025), the Tier 1 ratio came to 15.3% (15.1% as at 31 December 2025) and, lastly, the Total Capital ratio hit 18.0% (17.7% as at 31 December 2025).
Once again in H1 2026 the capital ratios proved well above the regulatory minimum requirements, giving even further evidence of the acknowledged capital strength and quality of the Crédit Agricole Italia Banking Group.

Net interest income came to Euro 862 million, increasing by Euro 15 million (up by +1.8% YoY). In a scenario of market rates decreasing vs the same period of 2025, this performance was achieved through growth in the average in-force business with customers and in the security portfolio, as well as thanks to the effective interest rate hedging policies deployed.
Net fee and commission income came to Euro 707 million, increasing by Euro 45 million (up by +6.9% YoY) thanks to the development in management, intermediation and advisory services which grew by Euro 42 million (up by +10.5%). Specifically, this positive component was driven by the contribution from securities intermediation and placement (up by Euro +31 million, +17.8%) and from the distribution of insurance prod-
ucts (up by Euro +9 million, +5.2%).
Fee and commission income from the commercial banking business came to Euro 224 million, growing by 3.0% YoY; the largest increases resulted from the larger and larger use of payment systems.
Dividend income from equity investments came to Euro 11 million, of which Euro 9.6 million from the share-
holding in the Bank of Italy. Year over year income from units in OICR (Collective Investment Undertakings) decreased by roughly Euro 1 million.
Total financial income came to Euro 27 million, stable YoY.
Half-yearly Report on Operation 36 Crédit Agricole Italia Banking Group Half-yearly Consolidated Financial Report as at 30 June 2026 Intermediation of instruments on behalf of customers to hedge foreign exchange and interest rate risks grew and generated income amounting to Euro 12 million (up by +20% YoY). In H1 gains on securities were realized amounting to Euro 24 million (down by Euro -1 million YoY). The other measurement components posted a negative mismatch of Euro 9 million, in line with the same period of 2025.
The balance of item "Other operating income (expenses)" was positive by Euro 4 million vs Euro 9 million as at 30 June 2025, with the latter figure including the release of some provisions set aside in previous FYs and managed over time with a conservative approach.
Operating expenses came to Euro 787 million, increasing by Euro 13 million (+1.7%) vs the same period of last year.
Personnel expenses came to Euro 508 million, decreasing vs. last year by Euro 4 million (-0.8%) and essen-
tially reflecting the percentage reduction in headcount.
Administrative expenses stood at Euro 190 million; the increase of Euro 18 million (+10.4% YoY) resulted from the smaller weight of releases of provisions set aside in previous FYs and managed over time with a con-
servative approach. Nevertheless, net of these effects, the increase would be of Euro 3 million, reflecting the continuing implementation of the IT investment plan to support innovation consistently with the objectives set in the MTP and the concomitant cost control and optimization actions, especially in the property scope.
The Cost/Income ratio stood below 49%, decreasing by roughly 1 percentage point vs. 30 June 2025.
The operating margin came to Euro 824 million, increasing by Euro 42 million (+5.3%) vs. 2025.
Net provisions for risks and charges had a positive balance of Euro 2 million and benefited from the partial release of provisions set aside in previous FYs for disputes with Customers. In the same period of 2025 this item reported net provisions amounting to Euro 4 million.
Net adjustments to loans and impairments of securities, totalling Euro 97 million and slightly increasing (up by Euro +2 million, +2.1%) vs. 2025, enabled to strengthen the coverage ratio of non-performing loans from 59.4% as at the end of 2025 to 61.2% as at 30 June 2026.
The weights of adjustments to loans came to 29 bps vs. 30 bps in H1 2025.
Gains/losses from disposals of investments came to Euro 500 thousand (decreasing by Euro 1.4 million vs.
the same period of 2025) and this item also reports the effect of the measurement with the equity method of the equity investment in Fiere di Parma.
As the result of the dynamics described above, the gross profit from continuing operations came to Euro 729 million, increasing by Euro 44 million (+6.5%) vs. the same period of 2025.
Item Income taxes came to Euro 249 million, vs. a tax burden of Euro 215 million for the same period of last year (up by +16.0%), being affected by the measures laid down in Italy’s 2026 Finance Act, which generate an additional expense of about Euro 24 million in the first 6 month of this year.
Net income came to Euro 478 million, increasing by Euro 10 million (+2.1%) vs. June 2025.

OUTLOOK30
The persisting geopolitical uncertainty is going to continue to impact negatively on the growth prospects for the world economy, which is expected to grow by +3.0% in 2026, vs average growth of +3.5% in the 2024-
2025 two-year period. Nonetheless, the slowdown in economic growth was partially offset by the stronger global technology cycle, which was driven by investments in artificial intelligence and by its progressive integration into production systems, in a scenario with inflationary pressure on the rise again globally and inflation expected to stand at +4.7% in 2026, vs. +4.1% in 2025.
In the United States the economic situation has remained relatively favourable, with the GDP expected to growth by +2.3% in 2026, driven by the accommodative fiscal policy and financial conditions, as well as by the strong investments in AI, while the impact generated by the war has remained modest, thanks to the fact that the Country is a net exporter of energy. Nevertheless, inflationary pressure has remained stronger than in the recent past and inflation has remained well above the target set by the FED.
In China, despite the good performance of exports and the strong development in the high-tech sector, growth is expected to slow down to +4.6% in 2026, due to higher energy prices and to the persisting struc -
tural weakness factors (domestic demand and real estate sector).
In the Euro Area, after growing by +1.4% in 2025, the GDP is expected to slow down to +0.9% in 2026. The growth prospects are affected by the increase in energy prices, weak consumer confidence and still modest growth in private investments. Conversely, domestic demand should benefit from the labour market resil-
ience, from a partial decrease in households’ propensity to save and from the support given by public invest-
ments associated with the funds from the Recovery and Resilience Facility.
As regards Italy, the GDP is expected to grow by +0.5% in 2026, essentially in line with 2025, driven by the in-
vestments funded through Italy’s Recovery and Resilience Plan, but hindered by higher energy prices, which have continued to generate pressure on consumption, investments and exports.
RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
The risk monitoring, management and control policies continue to be key principles on which Banks contin-
ued to measure themselves both against each other and against domestic and international markets.
Crédit Agricole Italia governance bodies continue to focus constantly and unfaltering on the Bank’s sustaina-
ble development and growth, closely monitoring the risks to which it is exposed. This approach is necessary now more than ever due to the complex geopolitical context– which has now become a structural constant of the current historical period – and to the persisting macroeconomic uncertainty, being affected also by the probable impacts of a new energy shock. These developments and circumstances may generate impacts on the equity, financial and profitability structure of the Bank, which is committed to containing those effects within thresholds deemed acceptable. The priority goal is to protect savings and, consequently, customers’ trust, as well as to support credit, which are essential elements to foster healthy and sustainable growth.
Crédit Agricole Italia uses risk control methods, measurement standards and tools that are consistent throughout the Crédit Agricole Group as a whole and appropriate for the type and size of the risks taken, also in such a complex economic scenario as the present one.
In H1 2026, after an overall favourable first period in which it benefited from the easing of trade tensions, from accommodative financial conditions and large investments in AI, the international economic activity has entered a phase of higher pressure and vulnerability following the new deterioration in the geopolitical situation. Specifically, the tensions in the Middle East involving Iran and the Strait of Hormuz have caused a significant increase in oil and natural gas prices, with repercussions on energy cost and on inflation. Staples continue to be the strong labour market and the role of technological innovation as a driver of growth in several economies.

Half-yearly Report on Operation 38 Crédit Agricole Italia Banking Group Half-yearly Consolidated Financial Report as at 30 June 2026 In this scenario, the main Central Banks have deployed different strategies, but have nonetheless all remained oriented to prudence and constant monitoring of macroeconomic indicators. Although the increase in in-
terest rates was but slight, the banking industry could firmly establish its growth, driven by progressively recovering demand, and reasserted its focus on controlling risk levels.
In such a complex scenario, the analyses performed by the governance bodies based on the information cur-
rently available gave evidence to conclude that Crédit Agricole Italia is going to be able to address the risks and uncertainties generated by the new context.
The assessment giving evidence of the Bank’s ability to continue as a going concern is based on the capitali-
zation it has long proved able to maintain, which shows a reassuring buffer on top of the requirements set by the ECB, its present liquidity above the regulatory threshold and the healthy and prudent management that has always been a distinctive feature of the Group, while ensuring steady development through sustainable growth strategies and the commitment to providing households and businesses with support.
For reporting on the main risks to which Crédit Agricole Italia is exposed, please see the specific section of the notes to the financial statements.

PART A - ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A.1 GENERAL PART
Section 1 – Statement of compliance with IAS/IFRS The half-yearly condensed consolidated financial statements of the Crédit Agricole Italia Banking Group as at 30 June 2026 were prepared and presented in compliance with IAS 34 “Interim Financial Reporting”, which lays down the minimum information content and identifies the accounting standards and measure-
ment bases to be applied to half-yearly condensed financial statements. This half-yearly report and financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Article 154-ter of the Italian Consolidated Law on Finance as the reporting entity is an issuer of financial instruments having Italy as the Member State of origin.
The accounting standards and interpretations used to prepare the half-yearly condensed consolidated finan-
cial statements, having regard to the classification, recognition, measurement and derecognition of assets and liabilities, as well as to recognition of the relevant revenues and costs, are the same ones used by the Crédit Agricole Italia Banking Group (hereinafter referred to also as the “Group”) to prepare its consolidated financial statements as at 31 December 2025, which were prepared and presented in compliance with the IFRS issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and the related interpretations given by the IFRS Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) and endorsed by the European Commission, in accordance with Regulation (EC) No. 1606/2002 of 19 July 2002.
As regards the standards and principles that have not been amended vs. those used to prepare the financial statements as at 31 December 2025, please see the relevant information given in the 2025 Annual Report.
As applicable, the communications issued by the competent Supervisory Authorities (Bank of Italy, ECB, EBA, Consob and ESMA) were taken into account, as were the interpretation papers on the application of IFRS prepared by the Italian Accounting Body (Organismo Italiano di Contabilità - OIC), by the Italian Bank -
ing Association (ABI) and by the Organismo Italiano di Valutazione (OIV), whereby recommendations have been given on the disclosures to be included in the Financial Reporting on some material aspects in account-
ing terms or on the accounting treatment of specific transactions.
In accordance with IAS 34, due to need of provide timely information, interim financial reporting (“condensed financial statements”) may provide more limited information than that required to be given in the annual fi-
nancial report and essentially intended to give an update of the latest complete annual report; consequently, the condensed financial statements must be read along with the annual consolidated financial statements of the Group for the FY closed as at 31 December 2025.

INTERNATIONAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS ENDORSED BY THE EUROPEAN
UNION AND ENTERED INTO FORCE IN 2026
In compliance with IAS 8, the table below reports the new international accounting standards or the amend-
ments to standards already in force, along with the Regulations endorsing them, that shall mandatorily be applied for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2026.
Standards, amendments or interpretations Publication date Date of first
adoption
Amendments to the Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments (Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7)28 May 2025 (EU No. 2025/1047) 1 January 2026 Contracts Referencing Nature-dependent Electricity - Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 71 July 2025 (EU) No. 2025/1266 1 January 2026 Annual Improvements Volume 11 (IFRS 1 - IFRS 7 - IFRS 9 - IFRS 10 - IAS 7) 10 July 2025 (EU No. 2025/1331) 1 January 2026
AMENDMENTS TO IFRS 9 AND IFRS 7 - CLASSIFICATION AND MEASUREMENT
OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
On 30 May 2024 the IASB published “Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 - Amendments to the Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments”.
The amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7, applicable to reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2026, have been endorsed by the European Union with Regulation (EU) 2025/1047 and concern the following as-
pects:
• Clarification about the date of recognition and derecognition of some financial assets and liabilities, with a new exception for some financial liabilities settled through an electronic payment system;
• Update of the disclosure on equity instruments designated at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) with required disclosure on the recognition of disposals and collected dividends in profit
or loss;
• Clarifications and supplementary information to assess whether a financial asset with environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) - linked and similar features passes the SPPI test and requirement of new disclo-
sure on some instruments with contractual terms that could change the amount of cash flows, such as some instruments with features linked to the achievement of environmental, social and governance (ESG) targets.
On this point, through these amendments, the IASB clarified the treatment of instruments whose contractual cash flows may change based on the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more contingent events (trig-
gers). When the nature of the future contingent event is not related directly to changes in the basic lending risks and costs, the financial asset has contractual cash flows that pass the SPPI test if, and solely if, in all the contractually possible scenarios the contractual cash flows are not significantly different from the con-
tractual cash flows on a financial instrument with identical contractual terms, but without such a contingent feature. Instruments the cash flows on which change in accordance with ESG criteria are considered by the IASB as not directly related and are therefore subject to those amendments.
Given that the Group issues this type of instruments, an analysis methodology rule has been set by the Parent Company within the SPPI test scope. Therefore, without prejudice to the other conditions of the SPPI test, the notion of cash flow “not significantly different” on an instrument without ESG targets is considered met if the cash flow variability generated by the ESG targets is lower than or equal to 10% of the financial instrument re-
muneration (taken to the scenario where the ESG criteria are not met). Any instruments with variability above 10% would not pass the SPPI test and would be recognized at fair value. The Group examined its accounting approach in the light of these amendments, without finding any significant impacts considering that the significance thresholds applied so far in the SPPI test scope are already aligned with the above-described methodological rules issued by the Parent Company.
Having regard to this new approach, the update of Circular 262 of the Bank of Italy, which is expected by the end of this year, will include a new explanatory note on the information required by these amendments on financial assets measured at amortized cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income and on financial liabilities measured at amortized cost that have ESG targets.

INTERNATIONAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS ENDORSED BY THE EUROPEAN
UNION BUT NOT YET ENTERED INTO FORCE
The table below shows the international accounting standards and the international financial reporting stand-
ards that, as at 30 June 2026, had been endorsed by the European Union but had not yet entered into force and, therefore, were not applicable by the Group.
Standards, amendments or interpretations Publication date Date of first-time
adoption
IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statement replacing IAS 1 “Presentation of Financial Statements”16 February 2026 (EU No. 2026/338) 1 January 2027 IFRS 18 - Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements IFRS 18 “Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements”, endorsed by the European Union in February 2026 will replace IAS 1 “Presentation of Financial Statements” and will be applicable to reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2027.
The new standard lays down the requirements for the presentation and in financial statements aimed at im-
proving how reporting entities represent financial information to the market and provide users with a better basis to analyse and compare companies’ financial performance. The standard does not change the bases of measurement of financial statement items nor the methods to recognize costs and revenues, but changes the bases and methods of presentation.
IFRS 18 will impose a new structure of the income statement (statement of profit or loss) and mandatory subtotals, with classification of revenues and costs into 3 categories:
• Operating category;
• Investing category;
• Financing category:
• Besides the taxes and discontinued operations categories already contained in the income statement (statement of profit and loss) layout.
Furthermore, IFRS 18 will require more information on performance measures defined by the management (which the standard identifies as management-defined performance measures or MPMs) and used in public communications outside financial statements.
As they concern the presentation of the income statement and financial disclosure, these changes shall be appropriately coordinated with Bank of Italy Circular no. 262, which governs the preparation and presenta-
tion of banks’ financial statements. In this scope, in Q2 2026 the Bank of Italy held a consultation on the draft 9th update of Circular 262 “Banks’ financial statements: layouts and preparation”, which restates financial reporting, with the reference case being that of a bank whose core business under IFRS 18 consists in lending to customers and investing in financial assets; the draft makes significant changes to the financial statement layouts and financial reporting rules, especially as regards the aspects listed below:
• The income statement layout shall be supplemented with three new categories in which revenue and cost items are to be classified based on the intermediary’s core business “operating revenues and costs”, “in-
vesting” and “financing”);
• Specific profit or loss figures (subtotals) shall be mandatorily presented in the income statement (state-
ment of profit and loss), one of which is “Operating profit or loss”;
• Goodwill shall be presented under a balance sheet asset item that is separated from the “Intangible assets”
item;
• In the statement of cash flows (indirect method), “Operating profit (loss)” shall be the starting item to de-
termine cash flows from/used in operating activities, instead of item “Profit (loss) for the period”;
• The introduction of specific disclosure requirements concerning Management-defined performance meas-
ures (MPMs).
The Bank of Italy consultation ended on 1 June 2026 and the final version of the 9th update of Circular 262 is expected to be published in H2.
IFRS 18 is effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2027 and retrospective applica-
tion shall be mandatory for annual and interim reporting periods; in accordance with IAS 34 the entity shall present its income statement in compliance with the IFRS 18 requirements in its financial report for H1 2027.

IFRS 19 - IFRS 19 SUBSIDIARIES WITHOUT PUBLIC ACCOUNTABILITY:
DISCLOSURES
On 9 May 2024 the IASB issued IFRS 19, which will be effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2027, after being endorsed by the European Union.
IFRS 19 is for entities that do not have public accountability and are subsidiaries of a parent company (either ul-
timate or intermediate) that prepares consolidated financial statements, available for public use, which comply with the IFRSs and has the goal of simplifying the preparation of the financial statements by the subsidiaries deemed eligible for application, permitting them to apply the IFRSs with reduced disclosure requirements.
An entity has public accountability if its equity or debt instruments are traded in a public market, if it is in the process of issuing such instruments for trading in a public market, or if it holds assets in a fiduciary capacity for a broad group of outsiders (e.g. banks, credit unions, insurance companies, securities brokers/dealers, mutual funds and investment banks) as one of its primary businesses..
Section 2 – General preparation principles The condensed consolidated financial statements consist of:
• The Balance Sheet;
• The Income Statement;
• The Statement of Comprehensive Income;
• The Statement of Changes in Equity;
• The Statement of Cash Flows;
• The Notes to the financial statements.
The half-yearly condensed consolidated financial statements are also accompanied by the Interim Report on
Operations
The half-yearly condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the lay -
outs and instructions provided for by the Bank of Italy Circular no. 262 “Banks’ financial statements: layouts and preparation”.
Notes to the Half-Yearly Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements - Part A 52 Crédit Agricole Italia Banking Group Half-yearly Consolidated Financial Report as at 30 June 2026 The half-yearly condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the Euro as the re-
porting currency. The amounts in the financial statements, the notes to the financial statements and the Management Report are expressed in thousands of Euros, where not otherwise specified.
These Half-yearly Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, as the Annual Report and Financial State-
ments as at 31 December 2025, were prepared on a going-concern basis.
As already described in the previous paragraph, the communications issued by the competent Supervisory Authorities (Bank of Italy, ECB, EBA, Consob and ESMA) were taken into account to the extent they were applicable, as were the interpretation papers on the application of IAS/IFRS prepared by the Italian Ac -
counting Body (Organismo Italiano di Contabilità - OIC), by the Italian Banking Association (ABI) and by the Organismo Italiano di Valutazione (OIV), whereby recommendations have been given on the disclosures to be included in the Financial Reporting on some material aspects in accounting terms or on the accounting treatment of specific transactions.
As described in paragraph “Risks and uncertainties” of the Half-yearly Consolidated Report, the analyses that were carried out based on the currently available information, in a phase of persistent uncertainty about the general macroeconomic scenario, caused mainly by geo-political tensions – which have by now become a structural and constant feature of the present historical period, to be attributed especially to the continuing war between Russia and Ukraine and to the conflicts in the Middle East – as well as by the recent trade pol-
icies implemented by the USA on tariffs and related consequences in internal trade relations, give evidence to conclude that the Group will be able to address the risks and uncertainties resulting from the economic situation.
The assessment is based on the capital position it has reached, which shows an adequate buffer on top of the requirements set by the ECB, its present liquidity above the regulatory threshold and the healthy and prudent management that has always been a distinctive feature of the Group, while ensuring steady devel-
opment through sustainable growth strategies and the commitment to providing households and businesses with support.
USE OF ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS IN PREPARING THE HALF-YEARLY
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
To prepare the Half-yearly Consolidated Financial Statements, estimates and assumptions must be made, which can generate significant effects on the values recognized in the Balance Sheet and in the Income Statement, as well as on the information on contingent assets and liabilities reported.
Making such estimates entails the use of the information that is available at the relevant time and of subjec -
tive assessments.
By their very nature, the estimates and assumptions used may vary from one period to another. Therefore, it cannot be ruled out that the recognized values for this reporting period may vary, even to a significant extent, in future periods, subsequent to any changes in the subjective assessments used. The economic effects gen-
erated by the uncertainties in the macroeconomic scenario, affected especially by the wars between Russia and Ukraine, as well as in the Middle East, require thorough analysis and consideration of the new economic context in the models to measure the recoverable amount of the Group’s assets. Therefore, those estimates and assessments entail unavoidable elements of uncertainty.
The main instances that require the use of subjective assessments to be made by the Senior Management are the following:
• Quantifying losses resulting from the impairment of loans and of other financial assets in general;
• Using measurement models for the recognition of the fair value of financial instruments that are not listed on active markets;
• Using measurement models for equity investments;
• Assessing the consistency of the value of goodwill and of the other intangible assets and property, plant
and equipment;
• The quantification of the provisions for risks and charges, provisions for personnel and obligations con-
cerning employees’ benefits;
• Estimating the recoverability of deferred tax assets;
• Calculating the fair value of financial instruments to be used for financial reporting purposes.

Condensed Consolidated
Financial Statements Financial Statements of the Parent Company Impacts generated by the Russia-Ukraine war and by the war in the Middle East The international geopolitical tension, which was still material at the reporting date, is one of the main uncer-
tainty factor in the macroeconomic and financial scope. The global scenario continues to feature complexity, mainly resulting from the Russia-Ukraine war going on and from the situation in the Middle East. Having re-
gard to the latter, diplomatic initiatives and talks between the parties have intensified, but, although giving a glimpse of possible convergence on an agreement in principle, are still quite uncertain as to their outcome. In this scenario, stabilisation expectations are less than firm and continue to generate persistent, albeit modest, volatility in energy and commodity markets.
Any changes in the geopolitical scenario evolution may have negative impacts on global procurement chains, on the performance of prices and on logistics costs. These external factors may affect central banks’ mone-
tary policies, with possible impacts on interest rates and general financial conditions. The evolution in these external variables, which cannot be controlled, may make it necessary to revise the financial reporting esti-
mates and significantly affect the expectations concerning the main profitability-financial ratios and indica-
tors, reducing their medium-term visibility and predictive ability.
Lastly, it is pointed out that, as at the reporting date, exposures to Russia and Ukraine were essentially non-existent and there were but marginal exposures to Countries involved in the recent conflicts or in the areas currently affected by material geopolitical tensions.
Section 3 – Scope and method of consolidation
SCOPE OF CONSOLIDATION
In addition to the Parent Company, Crédit Agricole Italia S.p.A., the consolidation perimeter includes its sub-
sidiaries, joint arrangements and associates specified below.
In accordance with IFRS 10, Subsidiaries are companies in which Crédit Agricole Italia S.p.A., directly or indi-
rectly, holds at the same time:
• The power to influence the Investee’s relevant activities, i.e. the activities that significantly affect the inves-
tee’s returns;
• Exposure and/or rights to variable returns of the Investee;
• The ability to exercise its power over the Investee to affect the amount of its returns.
The companies in which Crédit Agricole Italia S.p.A., directly or indirectly, holds over 50% of the rights to vote in the General Meeting of Shareholders are considered subsidiaries.
Control exists also where the Group, even though not holding the majority of the voting rights, has sufficient rights to unilaterally manage and direct the investee’s relevant activities or where it holds:
• Substantial potential voting rights through underlying call options or convertible instruments;
• Rights that result from contractual agreements and that, combined with its voting rights, make the Group actually able to manage and direct production processes, other management or financial activities, i.e.
activities that significantly affect the investee’s returns;
• Power to affect, under the investee’s articles of association or other agreements, its governance and deci-
sion-making processes concerning relevant activities;
• The majority of voting rights under formally executed agreements with other holders of voting rights (for example, voting agreements and shareholders' agreements).
Special-purpose entities/special-purpose vehicles (SPE/SPV) have also been included, when the require-
ments are met, also irrespective of the existence of a majority shareholding.
Notes to the Half-Yearly Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements - Part A 54 Crédit Agricole Italia Banking Group Half-yearly Consolidated Financial Report as at 30 June 2026 In accordance with IFRS 11, joint arrangements are arrangements in which two or more parties share control under contractual or other agreements which require unanimous consent of all the parties shar -
ing control in order for material financial and management decisions to be made. In assessing whether an entity has joint control of an arrangement, an entity shall assess first whether all the parties, or a group of the parties, control the arrangement. When all the parties, or a group of the parties, considered collectively, are able to direct the activities that significantly affect the returns of the arrangement (i.e. the relevant activities), the parties control the arrangement collectively. After concluding that all the parties, or a group of the parties, control the arrangement collectively, an entity shall assess whether it has joint con -
trol of the arrangement. Joint control exists only when decisions about the relevant activities require the unanimous consent of the parties that collectively control the arrangement. The requirement for unanimous consent means that any party with joint control of the arrangement can prevent any of the other parties, or a group of the parties, from making unilateral decisions (about the relevant activities) without its consent.
In accordance with IAS 28, associates are companies over which Crédit Agricole Italia excercises significant influence and in which it holds, directly or indirectly, at least 20% of the voting rights or has the power to par-
ticipate in determining the financial and operating policies of the Investee, despite holding less than 20% of the voting rights, due to specific legal ties such as being party to shareholders’ voting agreements. Likewise, despite holding at least a 20% equity investment, significant influence may not be exercised due to legal ties, voting agreements or other relevant elements that affect the entity’s governance.
The methods used to consolidate the data of subsidiaries (line-by-line consolidation) and associates (con-
solidation with the equity method) are the same ones used to prepare the Annual Report and Consolidated Financial Statements as at 31 December 2025.

OTHER INFORMATION
Impairment test - Estimate of possible impairment of intangible assets with indefinite useful life (Goodwill) In accordance with IAS 36, all intangible assets with indefinite useful life shall be tested for impairment at least annually, in order to verify that their carrying amount is not higher than their recoverable amount.
Furthermore, the standard rules that the results of the annual test may be considered valid for subsequent measurements, as long as the likelihood that the recoverable amount of the intangible assets would be less than their carrying amount is remote.
That judgement may be based on the analysis of events that have occurred and of the circumstances that have changed since the most recent annual impairment test.
In accordance with the standard, Crédit Agricole Italia has chosen to test its intangible assets with indefinite useful life for impairment as at 31 December of every year: the outcome of the tests may be considered valid for the following interim financial reporting, unless such evidence is found as to require that an impairment test be carried out earlier in order to verify the recoverable amount of those intangible assets with indefinite useful life.
In accordance with specific internal processes, in H1 it was assessed whether any indications of impairment existed, such as to question the recoverability of the assets’ carrying amounts. The assessment of any po-
tential impairment triggers (internal and external), was based on the evolution occurred in the half year in all the factors that are relevant to the measurement of the recoverable amount of the goodwill generated by the acquisitions of Crédit Agricole FriulAdria, of 173 Crédit Agricole Italia branches and of 29 Crédit Agricole FriulAdria branches (made in 2007), of 81 Crédit Agricole Italia branches and of 15 Crédit Agricole FriulAdria branches (made in 2011) and of Crédit Agricole Carispezia (made in 2011), the goodwill recognized within the aforementioned transactions has been fully allocated to the Retail and Private banking CGU for an amount of Euro 1,316 million.
The results of the assessment of potential impairment triggers did not show any need for a new impair-
ment test.

In accordance with the related EU Directive adopted at the end of 2022 (Directive (EU) 2022/2523) and transposed in the EU Member States (in Italy with Legislative Decree no. 209 of 27 December 2023), the Group estimated the GloBE top-up tax as at 30 June 2026.
The result of the estimate was a GloBE top-up tax equal to zero for Italy jurisdiction as at 30 June 2026.
Option for the Italian domestic tax consolidation scheme In March 2016, the national tax consolidation scheme was adopted, with effects since the 2015 tax period, by the Crédit Agricole Group in Italy; such scheme was introduced with Article 6 of Italian Legislative Decree No. 147 of 14 September 2015, according to which also the Italian “sister” companies, whose controlling Com-
pany is resident in an EU Member State, may exercise the option for consolidated taxation.
Initially, 18 Companies of the Crédit Agricole Group in Italy opted to join the tax consolidation scheme and, having been designated by Crédit Agricole S.A., Crédit Agricole Italia S.p.A. has undertaken the role of Con-
solidating Entity. Taking into account the new entities that joined the scheme in previous years and those that were terminated, as at 30 June 2022, the tax consolidation scheme consisted of 25 entities.
This regime provides for the consolidated companies to transfer their taxable income (or their tax loss), as regards the Italian corporate income tax (IRES), to the consolidating Entity Crédit Agricole Italia S.p.A., which calculates a single taxable income or a single tax loss for the Group, as the algebraic sum of the income and/ or losses of the single Companies, and recognizes a single tax account payable to or receivable from the Italian Inland Revenue Agency.
Notes to the Half-Yearly Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements - Part A 58 Crédit Agricole Italia Banking Group Half-yearly Consolidated Financial Report as at 30 June 2026 As balancing item of taxes/lower taxes for tax losses to be transferred to the consolidation scheme or with-
holdings, detractions and the like, the companies in the consolidation scheme recognize due and payables to/receivables from the consolidating entity.
In its separate Financial Statements, the Consolidating Entity recognizes matching items of due and payables to/receivables from the entities in the consolidation scheme.
Specifically, the intra-group balances resulting from the tax consolidation scheme are recognized in the
items:
• “Financial assets measured at amortized cost - due from banks”, or “Financial assets measured at amor-
tized cost - loans to customers”, in accordance with the kind of counterparty, for estimating the corporate income tax (IRES) transferred by the member entities to the tax consolidation scheme;
• “Financial liabilities measured at amortized cost - due to banks”, or “Financial liabilities measured at amor-
tized cost - due to customers”, in accordance with the kind of counterparty, for the transfer of tax losses by the member entities to the tax consolidation scheme.
Lastly, the tax consolidation scheme’s tax account payable to or receivable from the Italian Inland Revenue Agency is recognized under current tax liabilities or assets based on whether the IRES payable amount is higher or lower than the down-payments made.
Option for the VAT Group In November 2018, the option for a VAT Group scheme pursuant to Article 1 paragraph 24 of Italian Law no.
232 of 11 December 2016 was exercised, with effects as of 1 January 2019; the VAT Group includes the subsid-
iaries of Crédit Agricole Italia S.p.A. having, at the same time, financial, economic and organisational links in force between them, as provided for by Italian Ministerial Decree of 6 April 2018 and by Circular no. 19/2018.
Crédit Agricole Italia S.p.A. is the VAT Group’s Representative Member. Subsequent to some mergers by absorption finalized in previous years and to the closure of other entities, the perimeter of the VAT Group, initially of 15 entities, consisted of 12 entities of the Crédit Agricole Italia Group as at 30 June 2025. Thanks to this scheme, the member entities operate, for VAT purposes, as a single taxable person in their transactions with external companies, with a single VAT registration number. The main advan -
tage generated by the exercise of this option is that, in general, the transactions between the VAT Group member entities are not subject to VAT.
STATUTORY AUDIT OF THE ACCOUNTS
The statutory audit of the accounts of the Crédit Agricole Italia Group is assigned to an independent audit firm that carries out the activities provided for by Article 14, paragraph 1 of Italian Legislative Decree no. 39 of 27 January 2010.
The statutory audit of the accounts has been assigned to the firm PricewaterhouseCoopers S.p.A. for the 2021-2029 period.
The Half-yearly report and condensed consolidated financial statements for H1 2026 were subject to limited review by the aforementioned audit firm.
FAIR VALUE REPORTING
QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES
CLASSIFICATION OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND OF NON-FINANCIAL
ASSETS/LIABILITIES
Reporting on the fair value hierarchy as required by IFRS 13 applies to financial instruments and to non-fi-
nancial assets/liabilities that are measured at fair value (irrespectively of whether they are so measured on a recurring or non-recurring basis).

Financial Statements Financial Statements of the Parent Company The standard classifies fair value into three different levels based on the observability of the inputs used for
its measurement:
• Level 1: fair value equal to quoted prices (with no adjustments) in active markets. Level 1 includes financial instruments that are quoted on active markets.
Specifically, these financial instruments are stocks and bonds quoted in active markets, investment schemes quoted in active markets (ETF) and derivatives traded in regulated markets.
Markets are considered active if the quotations are easily and regularly available on the stock exchange, from brokers, intermediaries, price quotation services or regulatory agencies and these prices represent actual transactions that are regularly carried out in the market on an arm's length basis.
• Level 2: fair value determined using measurement models that are based on observable or indirectly ob-
servable market inputs (for example determining the yield curve based on interest rates that are directly observable on the market at a given reference date). Level 2 includes:
–Stocks and bonds that are quoted on markets considered not active or that are not quoted on an active market, but whose fair value is determined using a measurement model based on observable or indirect-
ly observable inputs;
–Financial instruments whose fair value is determined with measurement models using observable market inputs.
• Level 3: fair value determined using measurement models for which at least one of the significant inputs is based on unobservable parameters. The fair value of some complex instruments that are not traded in active markets is determined with measurement techniques based on inputs that are not observable on the market or using the measurement communicated by qualified market players. They are mainly complex in-
terest rate instruments, stock derivatives and structured loans, where the measured correlation or volatility inputs are not directly comparable to market inputs.
Fair value levels 2 and 3: measurement techniques and inputs used • Level 2: this level includes all financial instruments for which there is no active market, but whose meas-
urement is based on observable market inputs. Therefore, measurement models that refer to observable market inputs have been set.
Specifically, fixed-rate bonds relating to financial assets or liabilities are measured using the discount-
ed cash flow method pursuant to the security contractual scheme; floating-rate bonds are measured by discounting back future cash flows estimated on the basis of the forward rates with the application of index-linking parameter.
Derivative contracts are measured using specific calculation algorithms according to the type of the differ-
ent categories of transactions. The adopted approaches are the ones normally used in the market for those derivative instruments, which are mainly plain vanilla ones.
• Level 3: this level includes all financial instruments for which there is no active market and which are deter-
mined using measurement techniques where at least one of the significant inputs is based on unobservable parameters, or using the measurement communicated by qualified market players.
Credit Valuation Adjustment (CVA) and Debit Valuation Adjustment (DVA) In accordance with the IFRS 13 regulatory framework, derivatives shall be priced based on market factors, as well as on the possible effects of the risk of the counterparty’s default, which comprises the risk associated to the counterparty’s creditworthiness, by calculating the Credit Valuation Adjustment (CVA) and the Debit Valuation Adjustment (DVA).
CVA is the adjustment to an OTC derivative contract entered into by the Bank with an external counterparty, which reflects the possible loss resulting from the worsening of the credit rating/default of the counterparty.
In a mirror-like way, the DVA expresses the CVA from the external counterparty’s standpoint and consists in an adjustment of the derivative fair value based on the change in the creditworthiness of the Bank.
Based on the above, the value of a portfolio of OTC derivatives that are in force with a market counter -
party is equal to the value of the same risk-free portfolio less the CVA plus the DVA.
Notes to the Half-Yearly Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements - Part A 60 Crédit Agricole Italia Banking Group Half-yearly Consolidated Financial Report as at 30 June 2026 As provided for by IFRS 13, in certain conditions, risk mitigation tools may be used, such as ISDA master agreements and Credit Support Annexes (CSA). By signing ISDA Master Agreements, which are framework agreements that amount to the reference international standard on OTC derivatives, the Bank can calculate the CVA and DVA by netting set or by counterparty, after assessing the netting effect potentially resulting from such Agreements, rather than calculating it by single derivative. Much in the same way, risks can be mitigated by finalizing Credit Support Annexes (CSA), which are attached to the ISDA Mater Agreement and provide for the deposit with the creditor of an amount equal to the mark-to-market value of the exposure as collateral. Such collateral allows the present exposure and the consequent risk to be reduced and must be periodically reviewed in order to verify its consistency.
In accordance with IFRS 13, the Crédit Agricole Italia Banking Group has adopted a model implemented by its French Parent Company Crédit Agricole SA; in addition to the effects of any changes in the counterparty’s credit rating (Credit Valuation Adjustment - CVA), this model also expresses any changes in the Group’s own credit rating (Debit Valuation Adjustment - DVA).
In accordance with the model, the calculation of the CVA depends on the exposure, on the probability of default (PD) and on the Loss Given Default (LGD) of the counterparties. This model provides for the use of a forward-looking PD as a function of the type of counterparty, to which a credit default swap (CDS) spread or a CDS proxy is assigned. For this purpose, external counterparties are classified into three categories:
• The first category includes the counterparties for which CDS input parameters are directly observable in
the market;
• The second category includes counterparties for which there is no official quoted parameter, but to which a CDS proxy can be assigned, based on the observable market value that is given to counterparties with the same characteristics in terms of economic activity sector, rating and geographical area;
• The third category includes the counterparties to which a proxy cannot be assigned and for which, there-
fore, historical data are used.
On the other hand, the DVA calculation depends on the Bank’s exposure, probability of default (PD) and Loss Given Default (LGD) and this measure expresses the potential earnings from the change in the market prices of the relevant derivative, due to the worsening of the creditworthiness/default of the Bank. In this case, a PD is used.
As at 30 June 2026, the CVA value for the Crédit Agricole Italia Banking Group, calculated in accordance with the method reported above, was Euro -2.02 million.
Similarly, as at 30 June 2026, the DVA value was Euro +0.86 million.
The difference between the CVA and DVA amounts as calculated (equal to Euro -1.16 million for the Group), net of the same component already recognized as at 31 December 2025 (equal to Euro -1.43 million), is a positive income component (amounting to Euro +0.27 million for the Group).
Processes and sensitivity of measurement The Finance Function of Crédit Agricole Italia S.p.A. is responsible for defining the fair value levels of the financial instruments recognized. Choosing between the above methods is not an option, since they shall be applied in a hierarchical order: absolute priority is given to official prices that are available on active markets for assets and liabilities to be measured (Level 1) or for assets and liabilities that are measured using tech-
niques based on parameters that are observable on the market (Level 2); lower priority is given to assets and liabilities whose fair value is determined based on measurement techniques referring to parameters that are unobservable on the market and, thus, more discretionary (Level 3).
IFRS 13 also requires that, for recurring fair value measurements classified as Level 3 of the fair value hierar-
chy, a narrative description be given of the sensitivity of the fair value measurement to changes in unobserv -
able inputs, if a change in those inputs could result in a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement.

Financial Statements Financial Statements of the Parent Company Indeed, unobservable inputs that can affect the measurement of financial instruments classified as Level 3 mainly consist in estimates and assumptions underlying the models used to measure investments in equity securities and OTC derivatives. For these investments no quantitative sensitivity analysis of the fair value based on the change in unobservable inputs was carried out, since either the fair value was obtained from third-party sources making adjustments mainly linked to their liquidity, or resulted from a model whose inputs are specific for the entity being measured (for example the company equity values) and for which alternative values cannot be reasonably assumed.
Reference is made to the breakdown analysis of the composition of these cases, which is reported in the next section on quantitative disclosures.
Fair value hierarchy For the assets and liabilities recognized, the Finance Department assesses whether transfers between fair value levels have occurred and reviews the fair value categorization at each reporting date.
The Finance Function moves financial instruments from Level 1 to Level 2 only in case of financial instruments that are quoted in a regulated but not active market and that can be measured using the Group’s internal standard pricing models. The Finance Function makes transfers to Level 3 only for financial instruments that are no longer listed in a regulated market and that cannot be measured using standard internal pricing models of the Group.
Transfers between portfolios This case does not apply.
Other information
The cases provided for by IFRS 13 at paragraphs 51, 93 item (i) and 96 did not apply to the Group.

REPORTING ON “DAY ONE PROFIT/LOSS”
Paragraph 28 of IFRS 7 governs the specific situation where, in case of purchase of a financial instrument that is measured at fair value but not listed on an active market, the transaction price, which generally is equal to the fair value best estimate upon initial recognition, is different from the fair value determined based on the measurement techniques used by the entity.
In this case, a measurement gain/loss is realized upon acquisition, which shall be adequately reported by financial instrument class.
It is pointed out that this case does not apply to the Group Consolidated Financial Statements.
DISCLOSURE ON EXPOSURES TO CRYPTO-ASSETS
In H1 2026, the Bank and the other entities of the Crédit Agricole Italia Group did not carry out any trans-
actions in cryptocurrencies or crypto-assets and, therefore, the Group has not recognized any exposures of this kind.

• Legal and tax-related disputes: the provision is intended to cover any expenses from lawsuits brought against the Bank and revocatory actions in insolvency and bankruptcy. Having regard to tax-related dis-
putes, which generate a risk that is overall not significant, the provision is intended to cover expenses resulting from tax-related disputes the amount of which has not already been recognized under the rele-
vant item of the Income Statement, even though the Bank believes it acted correctly in all the cases being
disputed;
• Personnel expenses: the provision covers the expenses for voluntary redundancy incentives;
• Other risks and charges refer mainly to provisions intended to cover the expenses for the integration of Credito Valtellinese, Cassa di Risparmio di San Miniato, Cassa di Risparmio di Cesena and Cassa di Risparmio di Rimini, the expenses associated with the disposal of NPL portfolios and other disputes with Customers.

Disputes
In H1 2026, pending disputes had a physiologically performance, in line with expectations and with the rele-
vant national context.
The progressively decreasing trend concerned both new disputes, reflecting the by now well-established evolution that was seen also in the previous years, and pending ones, the reduction in which also resulted from the strategy aimed at limiting the risk of disbursement and effective management of legal risk, with actions aimed at settling disputes making good use of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) procedures.
As at the reporting date, for Crédit Agricole Italia, pending disputes were 1,614 in total, for which provisions have been recognized in an amount of Euro 44.2 million.
The majority of court disputes regards positions classified as NPE or positions associated with disposed loans; disputes on performing loans or started by non-customer third parties come next, whereas tax-related and labour-related disputes have but marginal weight.
For the purposes of this Note to the Financial Statements, it was decided to give a representation by homo-
geneous type of dispute, which is deemed more effective than the description of the individual disputes, as it provides a summary and significant snapshot of the main areas of legal risk.
The Bank’s disputes as at 30 June 2026 can be broken down into the following macro-categories:
• Revocatory actions in bankruptcy: disputes started by official receivers or liquidators in bankruptcy peti-
tioning for the return of amounts paid to debtors that were later declared insolvent;
• Liability regarding loan origination or revocation: claims for compensation lodged by customers for alleg-
edly unlawful loan origination, omitted or late revocation of credit lines, or undue reporting to the Central
Credit Register;
• Disputes regarding compounding of interest, interest and other financial terms and conditions applied to current accounts and loan contracts: disputes started by customers claiming the refund of amounts allegedly charged by the Bank as quarterly compounding of interest due, interest above the statutory rate or unauthorized overdraft fees;
• Disputes regarding financial intermediation: disputes regarding the provision of investment servic -
es(breach of obligations concerning suitability, appropriateness, pre-contractual information and conflicts of interest) and the placing of financial and insurance products;
• Other banking disputes: disputes regarding contracts, compensation for damage to third parties, opposi-
tion to payment orders, claims on banking transparency, diligence obligations, frauds associated with the use of payment instruments (especially cards, credit transfers and on-line purchases) and other disputes not falling into the above-listed categories;
• Labour law disputes: this category includes disputes involving employees, including terminated employ -
ees, and regarding the breach of Non-compete Covenants and Extended Notice Covenants, besides disci-
plinary measures and claims for compensation in general;
• Tax-related disputes: procedures and disputes started by the Tax Authority regarding tax payment.
Having regard to tax-related disputes, the notice of some assessments was served on Crédit Agricole Italia in its capacity as the designated consolidating entity in the tax consolidation scheme comprising the Italian direct and indirect subsidiaries of Credit Agricole S.A., which actually concern the determination of the in-
come of entities that do not belong to the Crédit Agricole Italia Banking Group; any expense shall be paid for the entities concerned.
For the other entities of the Group, as at 30 June 2026 provisions for pending disputes were recognized amounting to Euro 1.5 million, mainly regarding the subsidiary Crédit Agricole Leasing Italia for claims con-
cerning the management of lease agreements and/or assets leased out.

PART E - INFORMATION ON RISKS AND RELATIVE
HEDGING POLICIES
RISK MANAGEMENT
This section provides an update of the information on risks and the relative hedging policies, as at 30 June 2026, to complete the reporting given in Part E of the Annual Report as at 31 December 2025.
Crédit Agricole Italia attaches great importance to the measurement, management and control of risks, as an essential factor to achieve sustainable growth in an economic situation, such as the present one.
Crédit Agricole Italia is the operating Parent Company in Italy and is engaged in overall risk guidance and control, acting both as coordinator and as a commercial bank with its own distribution network.
In designing the risk management system, Crédit Agricole Italia S.p.A. complies with both the Italian legisla-
tion (with specific reference to Bank of Italy’s Circular No. 285/2013, as updated and to Delegated Regulation 2017/565), as well as with guidelines issued by the Parent Company Crédit Agricole SA.
The companies of the Group have their own risk management and control structures and frameworks in compliance with the Group’s guidelines, operate in their respective perimeters and benefit from the functions directly performed by Crédit Agricole Italia S.p.A., when centralized.
INTERNAL CAPITAL ADEQUACY ASSESSMENT PROCESS
(ICAAP) REPORT
Crédit Agricole Italia is required to prepare the ICAAP report and to send it to the European Central Bank, and, pursuant to Bank of Italy’s Circular no. 285 (Part 1, Title III, Chapter 1, Section 1, Paragraph 1), to the na-
tional Supervisory Authority, covering its consolidated perimeter (Banking Group).
The Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment Process (ICAAP), along with the Internal Liquidity Adequacy As-
sessment Process (ILAAP), is the first phase in the supervisory review process. The second phase consists of the Supervisory Review and Evaluation Process (SREP), which is carried out by the Supervisory Authorities;
within the process, the Supervisory Authorities review the ICAAP and ILAAP and issue an overall opinion on the Group.
Having regard to this exercise on the consolidated situation as at December 2025, the quantitative analy -
ses led to considering capital absorptions, in addition to those concerning Pillar 1 risks, associated with the Banking Group’s exposure to concentration risk (single name and geo-sectoral), sovereign risk, risk of chang-
es in the security portfolio’s value, global interest rate risk (including baseline risk, defined as the risk gener-
ated by a quantitatively different change amongst the various money market indices on floating-rate transac -
tions, and refixing risk, defined as the risk generated by repricing differences between funding and lending), liquidity price risk, business risk and, in compliance with the guidelines of the Parent Company Crédit Agricole S.A., foreign exchange risk (Pillar 2 Risks). The analyses have given evidence that the Crédit Agricole Italia Banking Group’s total capital is adequate to meet all risks to which the Group is exposed in accordance with its operations and target markets.
Conversely, qualitative assessments, control or mitigation measures based on processes were used for the following risks: liquidity – for the part not referring to liquidity price risk –, reputational risk, noncompliance and legal risk, environmental risk, ICT risk, information system security, outsourcing risk, residual risk, real es-
tate risk and model risk. The risk of excessive leverage is monitored by the Group through the leverage ratio.
Lastly, within the ICAAP, besides the risks classified as material in the risk mapping, transfer risk, baseline risk and country risk were also assessed, in accordance with Bank of Italy’s Circular no. 285.
In March 2026, Crédit Agricole Italia sent - to the Supervisory Authority - a set of documents for the assess-
ment of the system for internal capital management, which included quantitative evidence and an “ICAAP Statement” containing the opinion of the governance body on the Group’s capital adequacy, as well as an abstract of the internal documents aimed at providing an overview of the Group’s ICAAP framework.

INTERNAL LIQUIDITY ADEQUACY ASSESSMENT PROCESS
(ILAAP) REPORT
Along with the ICAAP set of documents, at the end of March 2026, the Crédit Agricole Italia Banking Group sent its ILAAP (Internal Liquidity Adequacy Assessment Process) Report to the Supervisory Authority.
This Report is intended to provide the results of a self-assessment on the processes for the identification, measurement, management and monitoring of internal liquidity and describes: the liquidity framework, the Group’s refinancing structure, the composition of its liquidity reserves, the mechanism for the allocation of refinancing costs, resilience testing, the contingency funding plan and areas where the methodological mod-
el needs to be further developed.
This exercise gave evidence of the compliance of the liquidity risk management framework of the Crédit Ag-
ricole Italia Banking Group with the requirements set down by the Regulator. Indeed, the adopted framework ensures liquidity steering and effective monitoring of compliance with the set limits.
INTERNAL CONTROLS SYSTEM
The internal control system is the set of organizational, procedural and regulatory mechanisms aimed at con-
trolling all types of activities and risks to ensure proper execution and security of operations.
The scope of Crédit Agricole Italia’s internal control system includes all its structures, both central and of the Commercial Network, Information Technology departments, outsourced critical services, as well as out-
sourced services supporting critical and important functions as defined under the DORA Regulation.
In compliance with the standards of the Controlling Company, Crédit Agricole S.A., internal control is carried out with two different modalities: permanent control and periodic control.
In the Crédit Agricole Italia Banking Group, the Risk Management and Permanent Controls Department and the Compliance Department are in charge of permanent control activities, while the Audit Department is in charge of periodic control activities.
In accordance with the regulations in force, roles and departments engaged in control functions provide the corporate bodies having strategic responsibilities with periodic information on the single risks, through both dedicated reporting and participation in specific Committees, set up at Group level, especially the Risk and Internal Control Committee, which receives the evidence resulting from the activities of the 3 departments engaged in control functions (Internal Audit, Compliance and Risk Management).
CREDIT RISK
Consistently with the guidelines issued by the French Parent Company Crédit Agricole S.A., for adequate control on Credit Risk, the Crédit Agricole Italia Banking Group’s internal lending processes are firmly in place and fully formalized; those processes aim at:
• The achievement of sustainable objectives that are consistent with its risk appetite and with the Group’s value creation expectations, while ensuring support and proximity to the needs of the productive system, households and of the real economy;
• Portfolio diversification, by limiting and constantly monitoring the concentration of exposures by counter-
party/group, economic activity sector or geographical area;
• Adequate selection of the borrower economic groups and single borrowers, through in-depth analyses, aimed at developing and driving business with the most creditworthy Customers, as well as to anticipate and curb insolvency risks.
The credit risk framework is part of the Risk Appetite Framework and of the Risk Strategy agreed on with the Parent Company, which sets precise qualitative and quantitative guidance under which new loans and the quality of the assets shall fall for each customer segment. To that end, a permanent controls system is in force and operated by the Risk Management, which ensures compliance with it, triggering – if the case – the appropriate reporting procedures and the definition of remediation actions.
Notes to the Half-Yearly Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements - Part E 82 Crédit Agricole Italia Banking Group Half-yearly Consolidated Financial Report as at 30 June 2026 Lending processes are defined and governed by operating procedures in order to identify the criteria for risk taking and management, the activities to implement for the proper application of such criteria, the units responsible for carrying out the above activities and the procedures and tools supporting them.
The process steps are structured and the responsibilities are assigned in order to pursue set objectives in terms of overall effectiveness and efficiency.
The entire set of normative instruments that governs lending through guidelines per customer segment, cus-
tomer type and per single product is constantly updated integrating all the operational aspects associated with the origination and monitoring phases, in full compliance with the applicable legislation and regulations.
In the loan origination phase, the mitigation of credit risk is pursued by entering into ancillary agreements or by adopting appropriate tools and techniques designed to mitigate this risk. In this scope, special attention is paid to obtaining and managing guarantees, with the definition of general and specific requirements, with special regard to the rules and procedure to monitor that the requirements of the guarantees remain com-
plied with (legal certainty, prompt realization and value consistency with the guaranteed exposure).
The loan portfolio quality undergoes:
–Constant monitoring carried out at an aggregate level, analyzing its composition based on the risk meas-
urement parameters adopted by the Group (internal rating systems, early warning indicators, other perfor-
mance-monitoring indicators);
–Monitoring of the individual position, through approval processes that are structured and laid down in spe-
cific procedures governing all the phases in the management of the individual lending relations, in order to ensure preventive management of default risk.
The organizational structure, procedures and tools supporting the processes for the management of watch-
list exposures, i.e. showing anomalies, ensure prompt triggering of appropriate actions to restore them to a performing status or, should the circumstances require termination of the business relation, to collect the credit claim.
The Risk Management Function ensures that a permanent controls system is in place both on counterparty risk and on the whole loan portfolio within the scope of the roles assigned to it by the applicable legislation and regulations, including the reporting to the Governance Bodies of the Crédit Agricole Italia Banking Group and of the Parent Company.
From a strategic standpoint, the Crédit Agricole Italia Banking Group has continued to pursue its transforma-
tion ambitions in lending, with special focus on the following scopes:
–Early and proactive loan management;
–Automation of processes and reporting;
–Implementation of systems for credit risk forward-looking analysis.
The goal pursued with all the lending tranformative initiatives is maximizing customer satisfaction by:
–Shortening the response time increasing the percentage of information recovered automatically (thanks also to the use of AI tools) and giving the Network higher decision-making powers where risk is low;
–Increasing efficiency thanks to the reduction of operational activities done by hand.
Specifically, in H1 2026, some of the deployed initiatives enabled to:
• Improve early and proactive loan management by using an internal Early Warning system in accordance with the Crédit Agricole Group’s guidelines, supplementing processes with ESG indicators and creating workflows that give evidence of all credit risk indicators;
• Prepare automatic Lending Governance tools thanks to the data available in the Credit Data Platform
(“Data Lake”);
• Prepare fully automatic decision-making systems with no need for endorsement or action by the users;
• Design additional automation elements in the forbearance detection process;

Financial Statements Financial Statements of the Parent Company • A new forward-looking data analysis system went live, which, using the historical and financial reporting data and the entry of the business plans, enables to estimate the reliability of the inertial forecasts of the impacts associated with the sectoral data, also benchmarking them against the KPIs of the main compet-
itors in the same scope. The system has been developed to contribute to improving compliance with the principles set out in points 118, 128 and 129 of the Guidelines on Loan Origination and Monitoring, published by the ECB in 2021;
• Implement automatic decision-making systems as regards payment in instalments of current account ex -
penses.
As regards defaulted exposures, in H1 2026 in coordination with the Risk Management Function of Crédit Agricole Italia, the “NPE Regulation” and the “NPE-Stage 3 Policies” were updated and merged into a single document, the NPE consolidated text (Testo Unico NPE or, T.U.N.) in order to ensure further oversight in credit risk governance The portfolio of defaulted exposures default has been subject to continuous analysis and monitoring, assess-
ing risk position based on the developments in the market and determining the best management and pro-
tection action for each one of them; concomitantly, where the case, the provisions covering them have been supplemented, in accordance with the guidelines set by the internal Policies, which implement the applicable legislation and regulations. The total coverage ratio of non-performing loans increased coming to 61.2% vs.
59.4% as at 31 December 2025.
The activity to reduce non-performing loans in H1 2026 (by roughly Euro 300 million) offset the new defaults and enabled to reduce total NPEs by about Euro 90 million, thus decreasing the Gross NPE Ratio to 2.45% (2.6% as at 31 December 2025).
The “Ermes” project managed by the NPE Structure went on with good results (the total recovery rate came to about 20%), which provides for the outsourcing from specialist servicers of the types of non-performing loans listed below:
1. Granular loans classified as UTP (unsecured and of amounts below Euro 50 thousand);
2. Loans classified as Bad (both unsecured and backed by mortgage of amounts below Euro 500 thousand);
3. Residential mortgage loans classified as UTP or Bad of amounts below Euro 500 thousand.
Furthermore, again regarding the aforementioned project, within the Outsourcing, Cost and Loan Disposal Structure, the “control tower” is in full operation, which is charge of monitoring and steering the activities of the servicers, in order to verify, through both general and targeted actions, the effectiveness, cost effec -
tiveness and timeliness of the recovery actions taken by the servicers, which are therefore measured with contractual KPIs, both qualitative and quantitative.
The same structure includes a team responsible for overseeing the process to enforce the Mediocredito Cen-
trale guarantees backing non-performing loans; specifically, the team focuses on secured bad loans (without limit in terms of amount) and UTP (for granular loans up to 50 thousand Euros).

ECL GOVERNANCE AND MEASUREMENT
The Risk Management and Permanent Controls Structure is responsible for defining the methodological framework and for overseeing the process for ECL-related impairment of exposures and provisioning. The calculation of impairment of performing assets is part of the overall cost of credit process, which is coordi-
nated by the Credit Intelligence Structure.
To define the IFRS 9 parameters required to calculate ECL, the Crédit Agricole Italia Banking Group has pri-
marily relied on its internal rating system and on the other regulatory processes already implemented.
The assessment of credit risk is based on an expected loss model and extrapolation based on reasonable fu-
ture scenarios. All information that is available, pertinent, reasonable and justifiable, including forward-look -
ing information, shall be taken into account.
Therefore, in compliance with the requirements laid down by the standard, in order to estimate parameters, a set of forward-looking scenarios is used, each one of which is weighted by the related probability of occur-
rence. In agreement with its Parent Company Crédit Agricole S.A., the Crédit Agricole Italia Banking Group uses four different macroeconomic scenarios. These scenarios can be summarized as follows:
• Central scenario, i.e. the most likely scenario;
• Moderately adverse scenario, i.e. the economic scenario in moderately adverse conditions;
• Budget stress scenario, i.e. the most adverse scenario used within the Stress exercise at the end of the
budget preparation;
• Favourable scenario, i.e. the economic scenario in favourable conditions.
The weights to be assigned to the four scenarios - which may vary at each new estimation of the parameters
- are defined by the Crédit Agricole Group (Group Economic Research Department of CAsa) and shared with the local management The Crédit Agricole Italia Banking Group updates the estimate of the parameters at least every year. The ECL calculation formula comprises the following parameters:
• Probability of Default – PD;
• Loss Given Default - LGD;
• Exposure At Default - EAD.

Financial Statements Financial Statements of the Parent Company As already pointed out, these parameters have also been defined broadly based on the internal models used as part of the regulatory framework (where any), although they had to be adjusted in order to determine an ECL fully compliant with IFRS 9. Indeed, the standard requires a Point-in-Time analysis as at the reporting date, while taking account of the historical loss data and forward-looking macroeconomic data. Therefore, based on the above, the accounting approach is different from the prudential framework, where analyses are multi-year and Through the Cycle to estimate the Probability of Default (PD); moreover, such analyses shall include the Downturn in the estimate of the Loss Given Default (LGD), whereas this effect is not envisaged in the IFRS 9 LGD.
ECLs are calculated according to the type of product concerned, i.e. financial instruments or off-balance sheet instruments. Expected credit losses are discounted at the effective interest rate (EIR) used for the ini-
tial recognition of the financial instrument. The models and parameters used are backtested at least annually by the Risk Management and Permanent Controls Structure.
SIGNIFICANT INCREASE IN CREDIT RISK
For each financial instrument, Crédit Agricole Italia assesses whether any significant increase in credit risk has occurred from the date of initial recognition to the reporting date, in order to assign the financial instru-
ment to the right risk stage given that increase.
Monitoring for any significant increase in credit risk shall cover every financial instrument, unless specific exceptions apply, and contagion is not required for the downgrading of financial instruments of the same counterparty from stage 1 to stage 2.
Moreover, monitoring shall consider the change in credit risk of the principal debtor without taking account of any guarantee, including for transactions with a shareholder guarantee.
For each exposure, any increase in credit risk is assessed using (relative or absolute) quantitative criteria and qualitative criteria.
Relative quantitative criteria: some thresholds (Significant Increase in Credit Risk or SICR) have been set which measure the change in the cumulative forward-looking PD as at the inception date and as at each reference date.
Based on this assessment of changes in credit risk, exposures are classified into the different risk stages.
The change in PD is calculated as PDCClosing Date > ß * PDCFOriginal Date where:
• PDCFOriginal Date are the cumulative forward-looking PDs as at the relationship inception, condition to the time already elapsed from origination;
• PDCClosing Date are the cumulative forward-looking PDs as at the reference date;
• ß is a parameter estimated on Crédit Agricole S.A.’s portfolio, shared by the Group.
It is pointed out that the rule is applied only where the point-in-Time (PiT) PD at one year is above 0.3%.
The origination date is the date of the first registration of the contract or its latest revision in case of com-
mercial renewal or revision of the credit line is deemed as the settlement date, i.e. when the Bank becomes a party to the contractual arrangements governing the financial instrument. For financing and guarantee commitments, origination means the date on which the irrevocable commitment was made.
Other criteria: for exposures without an internal rating model, the Crédit Agricole Italia Banking Group uses non-payment as at the reporting date or in the previous 12 months. In case of non-payment, as at the report-
ing date or in the previous months, the exposure is downgraded to stage 2.
For exposures other than securities for which rating models have been implemented and applied, Crédit Agricole Italia considers that all of the information incorporated into the rating systems allows for a more detailed assessment than the non-payment for over 30 days criterion alone as a back-stop threshold.
Notes to the Half-Yearly Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements - Part E 86 Crédit Agricole Italia Banking Group Half-yearly Consolidated Financial Report as at 30 June 2026 Based on these considerations, the reasons that trigger the classification of the exposures in stage 2 are supplemented with the additional rules listed below:
• The breach of the PD thresholds, which, for Crédit Agricole Italia, are set at 12% for the non-Retail portfolio and at 15% for the Retail portfolio (Crédit Agricole S.A. threshold);
• A PiT PD at one year higher than 20%;
• No rating as at the assessment date if regarding loans disbursed over six months before;
• The exposure being classified as forborne performing;
• Classification in the watchlist in accordance with the Early Warning internal indicator (IMA – Performance Monitoring Indicator) based on the latest information available at the time of calculation, or on information available the month before reference date for Retail segment exposures and available two months before the reference date for Corporate segment exposures;
• The selection of portfolio potions that are considered high risk following specific probes carried out by the Risk Management and Permanent Controls Function, such as:
–Sub-Investment rating grades close to the Sensitive loans perimeter (the thresholds applied by the Crédit Agricole Banking Group are more restrictive);
• Sectors or customer segments common to several Entities, where downgrading is justified by common macroeconomic factors and in accordance with Group instructions.
Qualitative Criteria: downgrading to stage 2 may occur for single-name positions reported by the Chief Lend-
ing Officer (CLO) and validated by the Risk Management and Permanent Controls Function.
If the conditions that triggered downgrading to stage 2 no longer apply, impairment may be reduced to 12-month ECL (stage 1).
For the security portfolio, Crédit Agricole Italia uses an approach that consists in applying an absolute level of credit risk, in accordance with IFRS 9, at the breaching of which exposures shall be classified in stage 2 and provisioned based on ECL at maturity. Therefore, the following rules shall apply for monitoring significant increase in the credit risk of securities:
• “Investment Grade” (IG) securities, at the reporting date, shall be classified in stage 1 and provisioned for based on 12-month ECL;
• “Non-Investment Grade” (NIG) securities, at the reporting date, shall be subject to monitoring for signif-
icant increase in credit risk, since origination, and shall be classified in Stage 2 (lifetime ECL) where any significant increase in credit risk is found.
The related increase in credit risk shall be assessed prior to the occurrence of a known default (Stage 3).
MULTI-SCENARIO CALCULATION
To estimate the parameters used in calculating the forward-looking scenarios at the 30 June 2026 reporting date, the weights set by the Parent Company Crédit Agricole S.A. were the following:
• Central scenario: 60%;
• Moderately adverse scenario: 25%;
• Stressed budget scenario: 10%;
• Favorable scenario: 5%.
In compliance with IFRS 9, the ECL is estimated weighting forward-looking scenarios; therefore, the various scenarios were weighted by their probability of occurrence, as given above.
Following the Memorandum of Understanding signed on 15 June and the consequent decrease in prices, CO-
COR (the CA Group IFRS 9 Coordination Committee) decided to revise the weights for the stressed budget and favorable scenarios to 5% and 10% respectively; however, being unable to reflect the different weighting of the IFRS 9 parameters, the new weighting was applied through a manual adjustment. The sensitivity anal-
yses reported below refer to the weights actually in production (stressed budget scenario 10% and favorable scenario 5%).
The main macroeconomic indicators used to define the scenarios were prepared by the ECO structure of the Parent Company Crédit Agricole S.A. specializing in macroeconomic studies.

• Central scenario: it assumes gradual and partial reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and a decrease in oil and gas prices, which nonetheless remain high. The States’ economic performances remain adequate, despite energy inflation and tariffs. In the Euro Area there are no significant problems, although there is higher vulnerability to global energy prices, as the pre-war disinflationary trend is no longer helping. The energy supply shock and the increase in inflation are amplified by possible capacity constraints, tightening finan-
cial conditions and higher uncertainty, hindering the expected acceleration in investments. Interest rates increase to a modest extent;
• Moderately adverse scenario: it assumes the continuation of the United States – Iran was, disruptions in procurement chains (late deliveries, shortages) and a more severe and long-lasting shock on energy prices.
There is a temporary increase in production costs and inflation, with consequent decreases in consumption and investments. The ECB initially hikes rates in 2026 and then slows down growth from 2027;
• Stress scenario: it assumes the worsening of trade and geopolitical tensions, with a new tariff offensive by President Trump imposing a strong increase in sectoral tariffs restoring 20% tariffs. The EU refuses to undertake to import larger quantities of LNG and, in response, President Trump limits exports with a subse-
quent increase in gas prices. Moreover, it assumes partial closure of some key sea routes and an increase in delivery time, with sporadic interruptions of supply chains. As a consequence, financial markers “fluctuate”, and inflation increases;
• Favorable scenario: it assumes a very fast resolution of the Persian Gulf war, with consequent decrease in oil prices and resumption of the usual traffic through the Strait of Hormuz. In the Euro Area, inflation de-
creases quickly, reaching 1.8% at the end of 2026 and standing at 2.2% on average. The ECB makes just one «preventive» increase (25 bps) in interest rates to prevent expectations to get out of control.
The economic scenarios used in the 2025 Annual Report and 2025 Half-yearly Report are also given, in order to represent the main changes occurred vs. the multi-scenario used for the 2026 Half-yearly Report.

To estimate the impact from the different scenarios identified, the maximum weighting was associat-
ed to each scenario, each time zeroing the contribution from the others in determining the forward-looking risk parameters and, thus, assessing the marginal contribution of each scenario to the final result.
Sensitivity was estimated on the March 2026 data in a lab environment and later applied to the June 2026 closing data. The application of the observed variations to the June 2026 calculation results for Crédit Agricole Italia is summarized in the table below, which shows the range of figures that can be obtained with the above-described method.

The recognized amount of Euro 425 million re-
flects the weights on the Central and Moderately Adverse Scenarios.
H1 2026 updates In terms of methods and approaches, the actions deployed in H1 2026 concerned:
• The updating of the forward-looking parameters after receiving the new macroeconomic scenarios from the Economic Studies Department of Crédit Agricole S.A. (ECO) and updating of the Retail PD and LGD parameters based on the models under the Return To Compliance Plan (RTCP);
• Removal of the overlay regarding the Forbearance engine in agreement with the Group Risk Management Department of Crédit Agricole S.A.;
• Removal of the overlay regarding the Early Warning models (Early Warning Project), as the Early Warning engine outcomes have been included in the IFRS 9 framework since Q1 2026 (please, see the next point);
• Downgrading to stage 2 of positions in the watchlist in accordance with the Early Warning internal indica-
tor (IMA – Performance Monitoring Indicator) based on the most updated information available at the time of calculation, or on information available the month before reference date for Retail segment positions and available two months before the reference date for Corporate segment positions;
• Removal of the direct downgrading to stage 2 of the positions in the watchlist for at least three of the four months before the reference date given the inclusion of the Early Warning engine in the IFRS 9 framework;
• Implementation of a reduction overlay in order to anticipate the benefit resulting from the change in the scenario weights determined by COCOR (the CA Group IFRS 9 Coordination Committee) on 19 June. The signing of the MoU by and between the USA and IRAN, which took place on 15 June and the consequent decrease in oil prices have not significantly changed the forward-looking scenarios, but have made the severely adverse scenarios less likely. As previously stated in the light of this evidence, COCOR (the CA Group IFRS 9 Coordination Committee) decided to change the weighting vs that used to update the for-
ward-looking parameters, making the favorable scenario more material than the severely adverse one.
However, for time-related reasons, the curves could not the updated with the new weights; therefore, it was decided to take the expected benefit into account through a manual adjustment reducing the ECL.
Notes to the Half-Yearly Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements - Part E 90 Crédit Agricole Italia Banking Group Half-yearly Consolidated Financial Report as at 30 June 2026 These actions are summarized along with the others in paragraph “Overlays/Post model adjustments” here below.
Overlays/Post model adjustments Following the Forward-Looking Local ECL calculation as at the end of June 2026, the Crédit Agricole Italia Banking Group made management overlays, which are of two types:
• Adjustments made to specific positions:
–Following the OSI on corporate ratings, specific exposures within the Credit File Review were downgrad-
ed to stage 2 and their coverage was increased in accordance with the instructions given by the inspec -
tion team during the talks held during the mission;
–Single-name adjustments (adjustments on single positions) whereby the results could be aligned with the expectations – in terms of risk profile – of the IFRS 9 work group. In accordance with the regulated process, based on the results obtained with the calculation approach defined by the Group and based on the management information of the single counterparties, if the expected loss value associated with a specific counterparty does not accurately reflect its riskiness, the provisioning on the counterparty may be adjusted manually to a level deemed appropriate; such manual actions are allowed only if they increase the coverage ratio on the counterparty. The single-name adjustments made as at 30 June 2026 also include the adjustments to the ECL associated with exposures to:
–The Bank of Italy;
–The State Treasury;
–Intra-group positions (with effects on the separate financial statements of the entities of the Group);
–Direct downgrading to stage 2:
–Of the Retail Small Business positions with PD equal to or higher than 11% and of Corporate positions with PD equal to or higher than 5% (known as sensitive ratings);
–Of pre-sensitive positions, i.e. of Retail Customers with ratings I08 and P07 and of Corporate banking Customers with ratings D-;
–Of Customers belonging to the automotive retail or component manufacturing sectors;
–Of the Purchases or Originated Credit Impaired (POCI) assets acquired within the Creval deal in stage 3 and returned to a performing status over the years;
–Of common Customers reported as being in stage 2 by other entities of the Group;
• Portfolio adjustments made by allocating the identified amounts to all positions proportionally to the ECL. Said case included the following actions:
–Action associated with potential approach-related findings from the OSI on corporate positions currently
underway;
–Action on sectors aimed at taking into account the higher riskiness of energy-intensive sectors, which is growing because of the consequences of the ongoing crisis on the future economic scenario;
–Action aimed at mitigating the impacts on impairments where there are State guarantees (applying to the guaranteed portion). Furthermore, as done in the previous quarters on the Crédit Agricole Italia pe-
rimeter, the coverage ratio of government securities was considered.
–Action associated with possible underestimation of the Retail LGD parameter (emerged during the back -
testing analyses) impacting the LGD curves used in the IFRS 9 scope.
• Other actions to allocate provisions on specific portfolios or on the overall portfolio of Performing Custom-
ers as at the reference date. In H1 2026, the following actions were considered:
–Corrections requested by the Validation Service within the annual review referring to the next updating of the pre-payment model;
–Add-on anticipating corrections to the database regarding bullet and amortizing contracts;
–Action anticipating the benefit resulting from the new weighting of the scenarios following the decision made by COCOR (the CA Group IFRS 9 Coordination Committee) on 19 June, which decreased the weight of the severely adverse macro-economic scenario given the improvement in the geo-political conditions.

MARKET RISK
TRADING BOOK
The Crédit Agricole Italia Banking Group does not engage in significant proprietary trading on financial and capital markets and, furthermore, in its capacity as the sub-consolidating subsidiary of the Crédit Agricole Group, Crédit Agricole Italia S.p.A. is subject to the Volcker Rule and to the “Loi francaise de séparation et de régulation des activitès bancaires” (LBF), which prohibit any banking entity from engaging in proprietary speculative trading.
Therefore, trading activities are instrumental to meeting customers’ requirements.
The market risk control system implemented by Crédit Agricole Italia S.P.A. for all the entities of the Group ensures that a risk level consistent with the set objectives is constantly kept.
The Group’s entities calculate their First Pillar capital needs for Market Risk using standardized approaches, given the low materiality of the exposures to this risk.
BANKING BOOK
Asset & Liability Management activities concern all the exposures on the banking book. The impacts gen-
erated by changes in the forward yield curve on net interest income and on the economic value of capital are monitored and mitigated with specific hedging transactions using derivatives with interest rates as the underlying, also through appropriate modeling of financial statement items and behavioural trends (behav -
ioural models).
In its capacity as the Parent Company, Crédit Agricole Italia coordinates the interest rate risk and price risk profiles of the Group’s banking book, centrally managing financial operations, as well as risk assessment and control activities.
The Governance model vests:
• The ALM Committee with the task of setting the strategic and direction lines for the management, of val-
idating proper application of the standards and methods for measuring the exposure to interest rate risk, of examining the reporting produced by the Finance Function, as well as to resolve on any measures to be
implemented;
• The Risk and Internal Control Committee with the task of examining the outcomes of controls on compli-
ance with the Risk Appetite Framework (RAF) and Risk Strategy limits and alert thresholds, as well as any alert procedures that started.
In compliance with the normative instruments of the Group and with the supervisory regulations, the system of limits regarding interest rate risk is reviewed on a yearly basis within the RAF process, setting out oper-
ational limits in the Risk Strategy of Crédit Agricole Italia, which is submitted to the Group Risk Committee of the Crédit Agricole Group and is approved by the Boards of Directors of all the entities of the Group. The outcomes of the initial and periodic validations of the internal and external models adopted to estimate the financial risks contained in the Model Map used by the Group to manage model risk are also submitted to the Internal Models Validation Committee.
The limit system consists of global limits, operational limits and alert thresholds (that are then adapted to each single entity of the Group).
As regards limits on interest rate risk, the Risk Strategy has confirmed:
• A global limit in terms of Net Present Value (NPV);
• A gap global limit subdivided into different time bands;
• A global limit in Van Index terms.
As regards price risk for the Banking Book, global limits have been set, based on the type of instruments that may be held (Government securities), which are expressed with reference to commonly used metrics (fair value, nominal value), and global limits and alert thresholds have been identified on the Banking Book fair value.

FAIR VALUE HEDGING
Hedging interest rate risk has the objective of immunizing the Banking Book from changes in the fair value of funding and lending, caused by adverse movements in the yield curve.
The main financial instruments for the management of interest risk hedges are Interest Rate Options and In-
terest Rate Swaps, which, for their very nature, are contracts referring to “pure” interest rate risk. Specifically, fixed-rate debenture loans have been hedged (micro-hedging), as have the mortgage loans with option-
al components to Customers (macro-hedging), government securities (micro- hedging), current accounts (macro-hedging) and fixed-rate mortgage loans in the macro-hedging portfolio.
In compliance with the financial reporting standards, the effectiveness of the hedges is assessed by the Finance Structure, which carries out the relevant tests on a monthly basis and keeps formal documentation for every hedge.
LIQUIDITY RISK
The system for Liquidity Risk classification and management aims at ensuring continuity of essential business activities considering illiquidity risk and any reduction in resources. The management model includes meth-
ods for risk measurement and aggregation and for stress testing, which are compliant with the EU legislation and with the standards of the liquidity management system of the Crédit Agricole Group.
The limit system is based on stress scenarios, with the purpose of ensuring a liquidity surplus on different time horizons and in increasingly serious scenarios. The stress assumptions used cover idiosyncratic crises, systemic crises and global crises.
In regulatory terms, the short-term liquidity risk threshold is the Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR), which, as at 30 June 2026 and as the Group LCR, came to 192.89%, once again well above the regulatory requirements.
Moreover, an alert threshold has been set on short term refinancing with market counterparties (RCT – Refinancement Court Terme) in order to limit short term exposure to the market over a one-year time hori-
zon, as well as an alert threshold on the Différence Collecte Crédit (DCC) indicator, which ensures appropri-
ate coverage of loans to Customers through funding from Customers.
Longer term liquidity risk is monitored, in regulatory terms, using the Net Stable Funding Ratio (NSFR). The ratio, which shall be higher than 100%, has the Available Stable Funding (ASF) figure as the numerator and the Required Stable Funding (RSF) figure as the denominator. The Group’s NSFR has always been well above 100%.
Medium-/long-term liquidity management also entails the identification of alert thresholds and limits by determining the Position en Ressources Stables (Stable Resources Position, PRS) and Concentration des échéances MLT (a concentration limit to MLT maturities) indicators. They aim at ensuring the Group’s balance between stable resources (market resources, funding from Customers, own funds) on the one hand, and long-term uses (market, customers, non-current assets and investments), as well as at limiting concentration of maturities in medium-/long-term funding.
The Bank also monitors its intraday liquidity risk through a set of specific indicators that were developed in coordination with its Parent Company and are calculated on a weekly and monthly basis both in Busi-
ness-as-Usual and in Stress conditions. The limit structure is completed by other management and alert indicators provided for in the Contingency Funding Plan.

INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY (ICT) RISK
In compliance with the applicable legislation and regulations, in the Internal Policy documents ITC risk is de-
fined as “any reasonably identifiable circumstance in relation to the use of network and information systems which, if materialised, may compromise the security of the network and information systems, of any tech-
nology dependent tool or process, of operations and processes, or of the provision of services by producing adverse effects in the digital or physical environment”.
The Governance of security management and of ICT risk management is based on the following criteria:
• Formalisation of the roles and responsibilities in the ICT security and Operational Resilience scope;
• Implementation of the principle of separation of duties, in order to appropriately allocate responsibilities;
• Assessment of the ICT risk analysis carried out on a regular basis or in case of significant changes. In ac -
cordance with the risk level, the security measures for its mitigation are identified. The risk analysis is car-
ried out also in case of new initiatives or projects that may entail impacts on the Bank’s information system.
To analyze and assess ICT and security risks on its IT resources, the Crédit Agricole Italia Banking Group implements and develops the key concepts of the Risk Analysis Methodology of the Parent Company Crédit Agricole S.A., supplementing it, to achieve an overall representation of its risk position, through:
• The implementation of the information system risk taxonomy (Themerit) defined by the Parent Company Crédit Agricole S.A. and structured into nine risk scopes (Governance, Operation &Incident, Application project & Development, ICT security, Cybersecurity, Resilience, Obsolescence, Suppliers and Compliance);
• A Risk Self-Assessment exercise on the processes impacted by ICT risk;
• The collection and analysis of IT incidents and of the related operational losses;
• Continuous application of the overall framework of permanent controls;
• The preparation of reporting flows to the top management and the BoD on the ICT risk situation.
Within the project aimed at ensuring alignment with the DORA Regulation (Regulation on digital operational resilience for the financial sector) the CAI Group has identified a list of Critical or Important Functions (CIF) to which it extends its assessment and control activities concerning operational resilience risks. In compli-
ance with the applicable legislation and regulations, CIFs have been defined as “functions, the disruption of which would materially impair the financial performance of a financial entity, or the soundness or continuity of its services and activities, or the discontinued, defective or failed performance of that function would materially impair the continuing compliance of a financial entity with the conditions and obligations of its authorisation, or with its other obligations under applicable financial services law”.
In 2025 the risk analysis on CIFs was completed based on the risk model comprising the same practices as those already used by the Operational Risks structure, and the results were submitted to the BoD in 2026. In the reporting period, the CIF perimeter was reviewed and the set defined at inception was confirmed. Fur-
thermore, the Strategic Guidance Document on Resilience was updated.
In H1 2026 the Risk Management and Permanent Controls Structure continued to monitor ICT risk with the methods and approaches that started being used in the previous FYs. Specifically, with reporting through the documents listed below:
• Risk Report, whereby reporting on ICT risk is provided to the Board of Directors of Crédit Agricole Group Solutions with quarterly updates;
• Reporting on permanent controls at least on a six-monthly basis covering all identified ICT risk scopes;
• Annual report on ICT risk, i.e. the summary report on ICT risk, which concerned specific assessments and analyses on the year 2025;
• Annual report on risks associated with the activities contracted out to third parties, in which specific con-
siderations on ICT outsourcing arrangements were also made;
• Information in the Bank’s Risk Report on the ICT risk situation to the Board of Directors of Crédit Agricole
Italia;
• Opinion on the document on Review of the ICT Risk Framework provided for by DORA.

Financial Statements Financial Statements of the Parent Company In H1 2026 the annual review of permanent controls started, also considering the new control points required by Crédit Agricole S.A. The first reporting after the review will be made as of July 2026.
The oversight and monitoring of ICT risk have found low exposure to material risks, thus giving evidence of a situation that is good and well under control.
CLIMATE-RELATED AND ENVIRONMENTAL RISKS
In 2026, the Crédit Agricole Italia Banking Group started the activities to ensure full compliance with the new regulatory requirements laid down by the “Guidelines on the management of Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) risks” which entered into force on 11 January 2026 and by the “Guidelines on environmen-
tal scenario analysis” which will enter into force on 1 January 2027. Going further from the previous version, the EBA requires that ESG risk be structurally integrated in the risk management and governance systems, vesting the management body with the responsibility for directly overseeing these factors and adopting pru-
dential transition plans. Then, the environmental framework has been further strengthened by the Regulator having regard to scenarios, requiring that financial institutions assess the impact of climate-related risks on their stability with a double horizon: short-term stress test and long-term resilience testing. The guidelines are the binding development from “Guide on climate-related and environmental risks - Supervisory expecta-
tions relating to risk management and disclosure” published in November 2020.
Day-to-day activities concerning climate-related and environmental risks also continue, including: strength-
ening of the permanent controls framework, the publication of the 2025 CSR report, going on with the grad-
ual implementation of sector-specific policies, starting of activities to strengthen the Crédit Agricole Italia Banking Group’s climate policy in terms of portfolio decarbonization, internal monitoring periodic reporting, preparation of specific opinions on sustainability topics (new products, process for enhanced due diligence of loan applications falling into specific cases concerning ESG topics, sector-specific policies), evolution in the climate stress testing approaches and implementation of an internal exercise in H1.

Notes to the Half-Yearly Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements - Part H 98 Crédit Agricole Italia Banking Group Half-yearly Consolidated Financial Report as at 30 June 2026
PART H - TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES
The regulation issued by the Bank of Italy on 12 December 2011, on risk assets and conflicts of interest with associated persons falls within the scope of the framework regulation concerning related parties (Article 2391-bis of the Italian Civil Code, Article 53 of the Italian Consolidated Law on Banking (TUB) and CONSOB Regulation No. 17221/10) and has been designed to “control the risk that the closeness of some persons to the Bank's decision-making centers may compromise the objectivity and impartiality of decisions relating to loan granting and other transactions with the same persons, with possible distortions in the allocation of resources, in the Bank's exposure to risks not adequately measured or controlled, potential damages to de-
positors and shareholders”. This regulation came into force on 31 December 2012 and, consequently, the first supervisory reporting was sent on 31 March 2013, as expected by the Supervisory Authorities.
The Crédit Agricole Italia Banking Group had already adopted a Regulation on Transactions with Related Par-
ties implementing the original CONSOB regulation of 2010; afterwards, on 11 December 2012, in accordance with the regulation issued by the Bank of Italy, Crédit Agricole Italia approved the Document “Regulation for Risk Assets and Conflicts of Interests with Persons Associated with the Crédit Agricole Italia Banking Group”, in order to give the Group a specific internal normative instrument on this matter and to harmonize the var-
ious regulations in force; the Document was then updated on 29 July 2014.
On 25 July 2018, the Board of Directors of Crédit Agricole Italia approved the adoption of the new “Regula-
tion on transactions with Associated Persons”, which was then adopted by the other Banks and Companies of the Banking Group, which formalized, in a single normative instrument, the procedures that the Banks and Companies of the Crédit Agricole Italia Banking Group had to apply to transactions with Associated Persons, in compliance with the regulations in force at the time issued by CONSOB and by the Bank of Italy. After-
wards, with resolution no. 21624 of 10 December 2020 CONSOB amended the Regulation on Transactions with Related Parties as issued with its previous resolution no. 17221 of 12 March 2010. As the amendments entered into force on 1 July 2021, the Crédit Agricole Italia Banking Group duly aligned its “Regulation on Transactions with Associated Persons” to those amendments.
Furthermore, the document implements the amendments introduced with the 33rd update of 23 June 2020 to Bank of Italy Circular no, 285 “Supervisory Provisions for Banks - Risk assets and conflicts of interest with associated persons”, whereby a new chapter, Chapter 11, was added to Part III, already contained in Circular no. 263/2006, aligning it to the new regulatory framework and, specifically, it excluded, under certain condi-
tions, equity investments in insurance undertakings from the scope of application of prudential limits.
Later on, with the 35th update to Circular no. 285 of 17 December 2013, which was published on the Italian Official Journal issue no. 165 of 15 July 2021, the Bank of Italy laid down the obligation for banks to comply – by 31 January 2022 – with Article 88, paragraph 1, points 4 and 5 of Directive 2013/36/EU (CRD), as amended by Directive 2019/878/EU (CRD V), on loans to members of the management body and their related parties.
Therefore, in January 2022, the Regulation was updated implementing the new Supervisory provisions.
As a consequence of the changed corporate structure of the Group resulting from the mergers of Credito Valtellinese S.p.A. and Crédit Agricole FriulAdria S.p.A. into Crédit Agricole Italia S.p.A., it was appropriate to make yet another update to the Regulation on Transactions with Associated Persons.
Indeed, as the Banking Group perimeter no longer includes any entities whose shares are listed (publicly held to any material extent, the Bank has no longer the obligation to apply the provisions laid down in CONSOB Regulation no. 17221 on related parties.
Therefore, on 17 March 2026, the Board of Directors approved the aforementioned Regulation in its latest updated version.
Furthermore, the Board of Directors of the Parent Company approved the internal Policies governing con-
trols on risk assets and conflicts of interest with the Group’s Associated Persons. That document describes, as regards the operational characteristics and strategies of the Bank and of the Group, the business sectors and the types of business transactions, also not entailing the assumption of risk assets, from which conflicts of interest may arise, as well as the controls implemented in the organizational structure and in the internal controls system in order to ensure constant compliance with the prudential limits and decision-making pro-
cedures referred to in the aforementioned Regulation.

Financial Statements Financial Statements of the Parent Company Besides identifying the related parties and their connected persons of the Crédit Agricole Italia Banking Group, the “Regulation on Transactions with Associated Persons” lays down, in compliance with the princi-
ples established by the applicable legislation on related parties, the proceedings and rules aimed at ensuring transparency and substantial and procedural fairness of transactions with related parties and their connected persons carried out by Crédit Agricole Italia, directly or through any of its subsidiaries. The Regulation also defines the cases, criteria and circumstances in which, without prejudice to full compliance with all obli-
gations and requirements, full or partial application of the Regulation may be excluded. It also lays down prudential limits to risk assets with associated persons, sets the procedures to process and approve transac -
tions with related parties, defines specific rules with regard to transactions with related parties made by the companies belonging to the Group and lays down procedures and time frames for the provision of reporting and appropriate documentation on the transactions (i) to independent directors/Related Party Committee, as well as, where necessary, (ii) to the control bodies.
With regard to controls, the required activities are carried out by the various relevant corporate roles and structures, in different capacities and in the different phases of the process, in order to ensure constant compliance with the prudential limits and resolution-making procedures as provided for by the applicable legislation, also pursuing the objective to appropriately prevent and manage potential conflicts of interests that may result from transactions with associated persons.

PART L - SEGMENT REPORTING
OPERATIONS AND PROFITABILITY BY BUSINESS SEGMENT
In compliance with IFRS 8 “Operating Segments”, the figures on operations and profitability by business segment are given using the “management reporting approach”.
In compliance with the Bank of Italy provisions, segment reporting was prepared, in line with the Group management reporting, using the multiple ITR (internal transfer rate) method, integrating also the cost of liquidity.
The Crédit Agricole Italia Group operates through an organizational structure that comprises:
• The Retail Banking, Private Banking and Financial Advisors channels serving individuals, households and
small business;
• The Corporate Banking channel serving larger-size enterprises.
Therefore, given the features of the Group, the Other channel is of a residual nature and includes the activities pertaining to central functions, with specific reference to governance.
The data are presented in compliance with the reclassified layouts contained in the Management Report on operations and compared with H1 2025, balance sheet data are presented consistently with the statutory layouts.
A highlight for the period is the improvement is operational efficiency: growth in the net banking income driven by fee and commission income; improved net interest income; “ordinary” cost under control and cost of credit remaining at modest levels. Overall, the cost/income ratio decreased (down by -88 bps) to 48.9%.
The “Retail Banking, Private banking and Financial Advisors” channels generated Operating income of Euro 1,290 million (+5.1%): Net interest income (down by +2.4%), Net fee and commission income (up by +8.1%), income from trading of financial assets increased; Operating expenses (up by +3.5%) under the ef-
fect of the inflation component and by the automatic increases in labour cost. Operating income came to Euro 684 million (up by +6.6%). Net of the Cost of risk, which came to Euro 42 million (down by +5.7% equal to 22 bps) and after taxes, the Net profit came to Euro 424 million (down by +2.8%).
The “Corporate Banking” channel generated operating income of Euro 308 million (+3.2%): Net interest income (+3.3%), Net fee and commission income (+2.3%) and income from trading of financial assets up by +10.5%; Operating expenses (+5.8%); the operating profit came to Euro 221 million (+2.2%). Net of the Cost of risk, which came to Euro 59 million (55 bps) and after taxes, the Net profit came to Euro 106 million (up by +0.7%).
Assets by segment (point-in-time volumes) consisted of net loans to customers; as at 30 June 2026, the assets of the Retail Banking, Private Banking and Financial Advisors channels came to Euro 38,478 million (-0.7%); the assets of the Corporate Banking channel came to Euro 21,310 million (+5.9%); to the “other” channel an amount of Euro 7,533 million was allocated, mainly consisting of institutional counterparties, which are managed by the relevant central departments.
Liabilities by segment (point-in-time volumes) consisted of direct funding from Customers. Within this ag-
gregate, funding of the Retail Banking, Private Banking and Financial Advisors channels came to Euro 49,648 million ( -3.1%); the Corporate Banking channel posted a balance of Euro 11,714 million ( -0.7%); to the “other” channel an amount of Euro 4,187 million was allocated, mainly regarding institutional counterparties.
It is pointed out that unallocated assets and liabilities report the set of inter-bank transactions, the Covered Bonds issued and other balance sheet aggregates, such as: unallocated property, plant and equipment/ in-
tangible assets, tax assets/liabilities and specific-purpose provisions.
In accordance with IFRS 8, it is reported that the Group business operations are essentially carried out in the Italian national territory, they are not subject to periodic performance reporting to the management with breakdown by foreign geographical area. The Group has not achieved revenues resulting from transactions with single external customers for amounts exceeding 10% of the income recognized in the financial state-
ments.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’
REPORT
Review report on half-yearly co ndensed consolidated financial
statements
To the Shareholders of Crédit Agricole Italia SpA
Foreword
We have reviewed the accompanying half-yearly cond ensed consolidated financial statements of Crédit Agricole Italia SpA and its subsidiaries (the Crédit Agricole Italia Group) as of 30 June 2026, comprising the consolidated balance sheet, the co nsolidated income statement, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity, the consolidated statement of cash flows and related notes. The direct ors of Crédit Agricole Italia SpA are responsible for the preparation of the half-yearly condensed cons olidated 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 interi m financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on these half-yearly condense d consolidated financial statements based on our 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 half-yearly cond ensed consolidated financial statements consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons resp onsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A re view is substantially less in scope than a full-
scope audit conducted in accordance with Intern ational 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. Accord ingly, we do not express an audit opinion on the half-yearly condensed consolidated financial statements.
