These in dicators facilitate the identification of operational trends and support decisions about investments, allocation of resources and other operational decisions.

11 Significant events during the period
The Sesa Group operated during the first quarter of the fiscal year ending 30 April 2027 in line with the targets of the 2026 –2027 Industrial Plan, achieving growth rates approximately twice those of the sector and strengthening its market share and its ro le as a Digital Integrator combining technology, digital platforms and vertical applications.
In the period ended 31 July 2026, Consolidated Revenues and Other Income reached Euro 901.1 million, up 6.5% compared with the previous period, while EBITDA stood at Euro 65.3 million, up 7.6%, with a margin of 7.2%. The Reported Net Financial Position was negative for Euro 23.4 million, a significant improvement compared with Euro 64.9 million as of 31 July 2025. The results confirm the Group's ability to combine growth, resilient margins and cash generation, in line with the guidance.
The performance of the quarter was mainly supported by the growth of the ICT VAS Sector, driven by demand for data management, data sovereignty and data security solutions and for the adoption of private AI and automation, the development of the Green VAS Sector, favoured by energy demand linked to digitalisation and data centres, and the expansion of Business Services, thanks to new contracts and the focus on digital platforms and vertical applications.
On 27 August 2026, the Shareholders' Meeting approved the Financial Statements as of 30 April 2026 and the distribution of a dividend of Euro 1.33 per share, up 33% compared with Euro 1.00 in the previous year, for a maximum total amount of Euro 20.2 milli on. The dividend will be paid as from 23 September 2026, with the ex -
dividend date on 21 September and the record date on 22 September 2026. The Meeting also approved the new 2027 –2029 Stock Grant Plan and renewed the authorisation to purchase and dispose of treasury shares up to a maximum amount of Euro 20 million. The Board of Directors, which met subsequently, resolved to launch the new buy -back programme. These resolutions confirm a capital allocation policy aimed at balancing investments for growth, financial solidity and shareholder remuneration.
12 Performance of operations
General economic performance
Global economic growth is forecasted at +3.0% in 2026 and +3.4% in 2027, following average growth of 3.5% in the 2024 -
2025 two -year period. The expected slowdown in 2026 reflects the effects of geopolitical tensions and of the conflict in the Middle East, partially offset by the acceleration of technology investments and the spread of Artificial Intelligence; a recovery in economic activity is expected for 2027.
Trends remain uneven across countries and economic areas: the economies most integrated into the global technology chain are benefiting from the growth in AI -related demand, while net energy importers and more vulnerable economies are more exposed to the g eopolitical shock. Global inflation is expected to rise from 4.1% in 2025 to 4.7% in 2026, before declining to 3.9% in 2027.
For the Eurozone and Italy, the outlook continues to be characterised by moderate growth, conditioned by greater exposure to energy prices and weak demand, but supported by the progressive easing of financial conditions and by investments in innovation, di gitalisation and infrastructure.
The following table shows the actual results for the 2019 -2025 period and GDP growth forecasts for 2026 and 2027, based on the most recent available update from the International Monetary Fund (source: IMF - World Economic Outlook Update, July 2026).

13 Development of demand and trends in the sector in which the Group operates
In 2026, the global ICT market confirms a particularly dynamic growth profile, with expansion rates higher than those of the global economy. Its overall size reaches approximately USD 6,369 billion, up 14.2% compared with 2025, showing strong acceleration. The main driver is the technology cycle linked to Artificial Intelligence, which is redefining companies' investment priorities. In particular, Data Centre Systems record the most significant growth (+52.3%), driven by high -
performance infrastructure for AI workloads. The trend also affects Enterprise Software (+15.5%), Devices (+9.9%), IT Services (+5.2%) and Communication Services (+4.5%), outlining a widespread expansion across infrastructure, software, devices and services.
The Italian Information Technology market shows solid and steady growth, higher than that of national GDP. Following the rebalancing that took place after the post -Covid phase, the market is consolidating growth of around 4% per year, reaching approximatel y Euro 26.7 billion in 2026 and more than Euro 27.8 billion in 2027. Management Services remain the main driver (+9.0% in 2026 and +8.7% in 2027), supported by Cloud, cybersecurity and application management; Project Services also make a positive contribution, while Hardware and Software are stabilising. Cloud and Artificial Intelligence are confirmed as the main enabling factors, with growth rates of more than 15% and 40% respectively in 2026. Overall, the market is benefiting from demand for value -added services, from the spread of "as -a-service" models and from the structural digital transformation of the main economic sectors.

• a decrease in net working capital, equal to a positive balance of Euro 9.9 million as of 31 July 2026 compared with a positive balance of Euro 38.7 million as of 31 July 2025 .
The Reported Consolidated Net Financial Position (NFP) as of 31 July 2026 is negative (net debt) for Euro 23.4 million, an improvement compared with Euro 64.9 million as of 31 July 2025, following the cash generation from operations, after LTM (12-month) i nvestments of approximately Euro 12 1 million (Euro 20 million in Q1 2027 alone) and LTM buy -backs and
18 dividend distributions of approximately Euro 40 million.
The consolidated NFP as of 31 July 2026, excluding IFRS payables, is positive (net cash) for Euro 149.8 million, an improvement compared with Euro 148.8 million as of 31 July 2025, while IFRS payables (payables to minority shareholders for corporate acquis itions and rights of use in application of IFRS 16) amount to Euro 173.3 million, down from Euro 213.7 million Y/Y.
In the quarter under review, consolidated Shareholders' Equity strengthened further, amounting to Euro 547.1 million as of 31 July 2026, up from Euro 521.5 million as of 31 July 2025, mainly thanks to the profit for the period.

Governance Model
Sesa adopts a governance model aimed at fostering the creation of sustainable long -term value and a virtuous collaboration between the company and its stakeholders.
The Group’s objective is to pursue sustainable success through the creation of long -term va lue for the benefit of all stakeholders, as also formalised in the company’s Articles of Association. Furthermore, Sesa acts within the reference framework of the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the fundamental Conventions of the ILO and on the basis of its Code of Ethics, which is also an integral part of the Organisational Model pursuant to Legislative Decree no. 231/2001.
Specifically, Sesa adopts, as of 2021, a one -tier system of administration and control, which provides for the appointment by the Shareholders’ Meeting of a Board of Directors, which is responsible for the management of the company, and which appoints from among its members a management control committee that exercises control over the proper exercise of administrat ion. The Board of Directors guides the company by pursuing its sustainable success, also by defining the strategies of the Group’s companies. In this regard, on 12 July 2022, also in light of the work carried out during the last financial year by the opera tional Corporate Sustainability Committee, the Board of Directors set up an internal Sustainability Committee with advisory and propositional functions to support the Board and the Chief Executive Officer in matters relating to sustainability.
The Shareholders’ Meeting is the body that forms and expresses the company’s will, subsequently implemented by the Board of Directors. It is made up of the Shareholders, who periodically meet to pass resolutions in the manner and on matters defined by the law and the Company’s Art icles of Association. The most important tasks of the Shareholders’ Meeting include the choice of the members of the Board of Directors and the Management Control Committee, as well as the approval of the Statutory and Consolidated Financial Statements;
The Board of Directors carries out the strategic supervision of the Group and verifies its implementation. Chaired by Paolo Castellacci, it is made up of ten members (whose number is determined by the Shareholders’ Meeting on the basis of the provisions of the Articles of Association): four executive and six non -
executive directors, five of which are independen t. The Board of Directors is also responsible for the definition of the Code of Ethics, values and the preparation of this Quarterly Report, which outlines policies, risks and performance on financial, environmental, people -related, social, human rights and anti -corruption issues. The composition of the Board of Directors complies with the regulations in force at any given time concerning the balance between genders (out of a total of ten members there are four women, all of whom are independent), and the average age of the members of the Board is 55. In line with best practice, the role of Chairman of the Board of Directors is separate from that of Chief Executive
Officer;
The Chief Executive Officer , in the person of Alessandro Fabbroni, is in charge of the corporate, operational and financial management as well as the implementation of strategic guidelines;
The Management Control Committee monitors compliance with legal, regulatory and statutory provisions, compliance with the principles of proper administration, the adequacy of organisational and accounting structures, and the functionality of the overall internal control system. The Commi ttee, which is part of the Board of Directors, is composed of three directors who meet the requirements of honourableness and professionalism laid down in the Articles of Association and the requirements of independence laid down in Article 2409 septiesdec ies;
The Independent Auditor , an external entity responsible for the statutory audit of the accounts, is appointed by the Shareholders’ Meeting. For the nine -
year period 2023 -2031, this role has been assigned to the auditing firm KPMG SpA.
Within the Board of Directors, Sesa has also established three internal board committees: Remuneration, Control and Risks, and Sustainability. The internal board
26 committees are set up in accordance with the recommendations of the Corporate Governance Code.
The Appointments and Remuneration Committee is an advisory and propositional body whose main task is to submit proposals to the Board of Directors for the definition of the remuneration policy for Directors and key management personnel. In addition to the tasks provided for by the Remuneration Poli cy, the Remuneration Committee is entrusted with the tasks set out in the principles of the Corporate Governance Code.
The Control and Risks and Related Parties Committee is a body with advisory and propositional functions, tasked with supporting, through appropriate preparatory work, the assessments and decisions of the Board of Directors concerning the internal control and risk management system, as well as those concern ing the approval of periodic financial reports.
The Sustainability Committee is tasked with assisting the Board of Directors, with preparatory, propositional and advisory functions, in the assessments and decisions relating to sustainability matters — also understood as Environmental, Social and Governance matters — connected with the conduct of the company’s business and its dynamics of interaction with all stakeholders, with corporate social responsibility, and with the examination of scenarios for the preparation of the strategic plan, also on the basis of the analysis of materi al topics for long -term value generation.
The composition of the management and control bodies of Sesa SpA complies with applicable legal provisions, with specific reference to the appropriate gender balance. For further information on the structure and functioning of the corporate bodies, governa nce practices and the activities of the internal board committees, please refer to the “Report on Corporate Governance and Ownership Structure”, published pursuant to Article 123 -bis of the Italian Consolidated Law on Finance (TUF) on the website www.sesa. it, “Corporate Governance” section.
27 Long -term sustainable value creation
Sesa's business model is based on sustainable growth, transparency, the development of talent and diversity, environmental protection and the generation of value for stakeholders. The industrial development plan and the ESG objectives coexist and are inter connected with one another, with a view to making a concrete contribution to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals ("SDGs") defined by the United Nations.
Sesa's corporate governance structure is aligned with national and international best practice and complies with the principles set out in the Corporate Governance Code (formerly the Self -Regulatory Code) for listed companies.
Sesa's business model aims to create sustainable and shared value over time for all stakeholders.
In line with this evolution, Sesa pursues an integrated approach to value creation, developing a virtuous circle between the company's mission and the generation of value for stakeholders. In particular, its commitment to structuring an innovative and dist inctive offering has led Sesa to develop an integrated model of shared value creation, achieved by enhancing: • human capital , enabling people to progressively improve their skills and their understanding within the Group's strategy;
• social and environmental capital , monitoring and reducing the impact of its activities on environmental resources and on the communities in which the Group operates;
• relational capital , sharing values, behaviours and relationships with its partners, suppliers
and stakeholders;
• organisational and financial capital , to enhance the development of its services through research and innovation processes along the entire chain.
Sesa's business model is founded on this strategic approach, aiming at the creation and distribution of sustainable value in response to the global challenges set out in the United Nations' 17 Sustainable Development Goals, to which the company makes a concrete contribution.

As of 31 July 2026, female employment represents a significant component, equal to 32% of the total workforce, thanks to the Group's growing commitment to gender equality policies, in a sector whose technical and scientific professional profiles have tradi tionally been affected by a structural shortage of female resources.
28 Sesa, which is certified under UNI/PdR 125:2022 (Gender Equality), has defined concrete and measurable objectives in the areas of diversity, equity and inclusion, consistently with its sustainable business model, which places people at the centre and is in tegrated with the Group's Sustainability Plan. The certification attests to the effectiveness of the integrated policies and organisational measures adopted to reduce the gender gap in the workplace and reflects the company's ongoing commitment to promotin g an increasingly fair and inclusive working environment, in which every person can be heard, respected and valued for their uniqueness.
The Sesa Group promotes the growth and development of its people through structured professional development and retention paths, which include continuous training, dedicated career paths, work -life balance initiatives and corporate welfare programmes. The se measures are part of a strategy geared towards integrity, fairness, care for people, inclusion, the enhancement of diversity and sustainability. The Group also adopts an employment policy geared towards stability (97% of the workforce is employed on per manent contracts), supported by hiring plans aimed mainly at young people with secondary school diplomas and recent graduates.
Hiring
The Sesa Group has always been committed to attracting and identifying talented people to support business growth and skills development. The people who join the Group stand out for their solid technical skills, passion, dynamism and strong propensity for innovation, in line with the Group's values. The quality of the work, the opportunity to collaborate on innovative projects, enhancing the diversity and the capabilities of its resources, together with the Group's commitment to sustainable development, are the key elements in the process of attracting talent, particularly among younger people.
Over the last 12 months, approximately 724 new resources joined the Group's companies, mainly young people under 30 coming from universities and training schools.
Each year the Group offers numerous internship opportunities, giving younger people the chance to get to know the company and gain training experience, including through participation in work -study programmes. As of 31 July 2026, 66 internships are active, including both curricular and extra -curricular placements.
The total number of apprentices enrolled in training and professional development paths is 386 as of 31 July 2026.
Training and Development of resources
In a competitive environment characterised by the continuous and profound transformation of business models, against the backdrop of an increasingly dynamic national and international context and of exponential technological change, Sesa's organisation has transformed itself thanks to significant investments in skills development, with particular attention to Artificial Intelligence, Automation, Cyber Security and digital platforms. Investing in the development of employees' skills is essential to remain competitive, improve efficiency and adapt to change. Through training, our people can acquire new technical skills and develop cross -functional capabilities such as leadership, collab oration and interpersonal skills, which are essential to fostering an effective and dynamic working environment. This is particularly important in a context of digit al transformation, where it is essential that all people are prepared to implement innovati ve solutions, optimise processes and make the most of the opportunities offered by new technologies. Furthermore, continuous training fosters the creation of a corporate culture geared towards innovation, flexibility and lifelong learning.
In the fiscal year ended 30 April 2026, we further strengthened this commitment to our people by launching increasingly widespread training programmes, reaching a total of 124,335 training hours, an increase of 6% compared with the previous year.
The training programmes include specific topics such as Personal Data Protection (GDPR – General Data Protection Regulation), Cyber Security and Workplace Safety. These programmes are also delivered via digital e -learning platforms, enabling the involvemen t of an ever -increasing number of people.
29 Health and Safety
The protection of employees' health and well -being is a central element of the company's commitment, with the aim of ensuring safe and healthy working environments geared towards maintaining high standards of organisational well -being.
Sesa ensures working conditions that respect individual dignity and operates in full compliance with current legislation on occupational health and safety, with particular reference to Legislative Decree 81/2008. To this end, the Group has adopted a structured framework aimed at the continuous improvement of safety conditions, the reduction of workplace risks and the promotion of workers' health, in accordance with the international standard ISO 45001. This approach has enabled a progressive improvement in health and safety pe rformance across the Group's companies.

party bodies: Var Group S.p.A., ICT Logistica S.r.l. and BDS S.p.A. Verification and control activities are carried out in compliance with international auditing principles.

The Group's management evaluates the performance of the various operating segments using the following indicators:
• revenues from third parties by operating segment;
• EBITDA as defined in the Alternative Performance Indicators section;
• profit for the year.
Since EBITDA is not identified as an accounting measure under IFRS (Non -GAAP measure), its quantitative determination may not be consistent. EBITDA is a measure used by management to monitor and assess the operating performance of the Group's companies. Th e method of calculating EBITDA described above and applied by the Group may not be consistent with that adopted by other companies or groups, and therefore its value may not be comparable with that calculated by them.
