The transaction, whose price was equal to about € 1.6 bln., was financed through available cash resources and the IDV business was fully consolidated in this accounting information of the Leonardo Group from the acquisition date. In order to make the Group's operational performance more comparable, selected performance indicators are report ed below on a like-for-like basis , excluding the contribution of the IDV business for the comparative
period :

EBITA 731 581 25.8%
FOCF (226) (408) 44.6%
3 In the first half of 2026, New Orders reached € 16.3 bln., highlighting a broad, overall improvement (+44.6% YoY, +38.8% like-for-like), confirming the consolidated position of the Group in the markets in which it operates, with a book to bill in the period (the ratio of New Orders to Revenues for the period) equal to about 1.6 x.
The Order Backlog reached c. € 59 bln., also as a result of the consolidation of the IDV business, which determined an impact equal to approximately € 6 bln., ensuring a coverage in terms of production of over 2.6 years .
Revenues (€ 10.0 bln.) also showed an improvement in all the business sectors (+12.2% YoY, +8.2% like -
for-like), despite the negative impact of exchange rate on the contribution from U.S. components, mainly Leonardo DRS in the Defence Electronics sector. Excluding this component, Revenues increased by about 10.0% YoY like-for-like.
Revenues ’ growth, together with increase in operating profitability with ROS at 7.8% (+1.3 p.p. compared to 30 June 2025), sustained the solid increase in EBITA , amounting to € 780 mil. (+34.3% YoY, +25.8% like-for-like). The indicator, which continued to show a marked increase across all business sectors, benefitted by the performances of the Defence Electronics sector, despite the previously mentioned negative exchange rate impact, and by the consistent upward trend of Aircraft , the recovery in Aerostructures and GIE -ATR.
Net result adjusted , equal to € 476 mil. (+74.4% YoY), showed a significant increase, benefitting from the performance of EBITA and lower net financial expenses .
Free Operating Cash Flow (FOCF) , negative for € 249 mil. (negative for € 226 mil. like-for-like), showed a cash absorption situation, which is typical in the first months of the year, sharply improving compared to the first half of the previous year (+39.0% , +44,6% like -for-like), as proof of the effectiveness of the actions undertaken by the Group .
The Group Net Debt , equal to € 3,248 mil. up on 30 June 2025 (+49.5%), was affected by the € 1.6 bln cash -out to acquire IDV business, partially mitigated by the abovementioned FOCF performance .

New Orders. Significant increase YoY (+87.5%), with a book to bill equal to about 2.1 x. In particular, the Aircraft B usiness Unit (B U) confirmed its strong contribution, supported by major Trainers ( M-346) orders from Austria and Italy, in addition to Typhoon orders from Germany and Italy. In the Aerostructures BU , orders in line with expectations, reflecting the continued improvement in deliveries by the main Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs ).
Revenues . Volumes were slightly improving YoY (+4.8%). The Aircraft BU recorded revenues basically in line with 2025; delays in the Kuwait programme due to middle east tension s were offset by growth in other business lines, mainly driven by proprietary platforms (M-346 and C -27J). Increased Service contribution, reaching 38% of Aircraft BU revenues in H1, benefitt ed from the increase in the supporting activities of the Kuwait programme. In the Aerostructure BU, higher revenues (+44.0% YoY) on all the business lines, benefitted by the increase in OEM d emand, in particular for the B787 and ATR programmes.

18 Description of the components of each of the Key Performance Indicators (KPI):
• New Orders: this includes contracts entered into with customers during the period that have commercial substance and represent an obligation for both parties to fulfil the contract.
• Order backlog: this figure is the sum of the order backlog for the preceding period and new orders, less revenues during the reference perio d.
• EBITDA: this is given by EBITA, as defined below, before amortization (excluding amortization of intangible assets from business combinations), depreciation and impairment losses (net of those relating to goodwill or classified among “non -recurring costs”).
EBITA: it is arrived at by eliminating from EBIT, as defined below, the following items: any impairment in goodwill, including the Group's share, net of tax, of the strategic investees; amortization and impairment, if any, of the portion of the purchase price allocated to intangible assets as part of business combinations, as required by IFRS 3, including the Group's share, net of tax, of the strategic investees; restructuring costs that are a part of defined and significant plans. This item includes person nel costs as well as any and all other costs deriving from the reorganization (e.g., impairment of assets, costs for the closure of sites, relocation costs, etc.), including the Group's sh are, net of tax, of the strategic investees; other non -recurring or unusual costs or income, i.e., connected to particularly significant or exceptional events that are not related to the ordinary performance of the business, such as charges incurred during M&A transactions, charges linked to disposed businesses and/or prod ucts and systems, the effects arising from the final conclusion of significant disputes and/or contracts, impairment of significant and extraordinary assets, the recognition of losses on contracts that have become onerous as a result of non -operating event s, including the Group's share of the strategic investees, net of tax.
EBITA is then used to calculate return on sales (ROS) and return on investment (ROI).
• Return on Sales (ROS): this is calculated as the ratio of EBITA to revenue.
• EBIT: this is obtained by adding to Income before tax and financial expenses (defined as earnings before “financial income and expe nse”, “share of profits (losses) of equity -accounted investees”, “income taxes” and “Profit (loss) from discontinued operations”) t he Group’s share of profit in the results of its strategic investees (MBDA, GIE ATR, Thales and HENSOLDT), reported in the “share of profits ( losses) of equity -
accounted investees”, net of the effects related to the main acquisitions and disposals (e xtraordinary transactions).
• Ebit margin : this is calculated as the ratio of EBIT to revenue.
• Net result adjusted : this is the Net Result after the “result from discontinued operations and extraordinary transactions” and the non -cash portion, net of tax, of “Non -recurring income (expenses)”. Net result adjusted is then used to calculate Earnings per share adjusted for the owners of the parent.
• Net result: it coincides with the net profit (loss).
• Group Net Debt: this includes cash, financial receivables and current securities, net of (current and non -current) loans and borrowings and of the fair value of foreign exchange derivatives covering financial debt items.
• Free Operating Cash -Flow (FOCF): this is the sum of the cash flows generated by (used in) operating activities (excluding the changes in the Group Net Debt), the cash flows generated by (used in) ordinary investing activities (investment and divestment of intang ible assets, property, pla nt and equipment, and equity investments, net of cash flows from the purchase or sale of equity investments that, due to thei r nature or significance, are considered “strategic investments”), dividends received and collectio ns received pursuant to Law 808/1985.
• Return on Investments (ROI): this is calculated as the ratio of EBITA, calculated on an annual basis for the period from 1 July 2025 to 30 June 2026, and the average net capital invested in the two comparative periods presented in this report.
• Workforce: the number of employees recorded in the register on the last day of the period.
