1. Reading guide The Interim Report at 30 June 2026 of the Poste Italiane Group – approved by the Board of Directors on 23 July 2026, which authorised its public disclosure, also pursuant to IAS 10 – includes the Interim Report on Operations at 30 June 2026 and the Condensed consolidated half-year financial statements.
The values presented in this Interim Report at 30 June 2026 are compared with the values for the same period of the previous year, except for the Statement of financial position, which is compared with the corresponding statement at 31 December 2025.
In continuity with previous years, a net revenue presentation of the energy business was adopted in order to provide an inter -
pretation consistent with the view used by management, as the Group is not an energy producer. Consequently, some values presented in the following document reflect a management reclassification with respect to the accounting data.
Furthermore, in order to provide the market with a representation of the Group’s results consistent with the strategic guidelines and representations contained in the strategic plan presented in March 2024, this Interim Report on Operations includes an adjusted view1 of the Operating Result (adjusted EBIT) that neutralises the accounting effects of the contribution to the Life Insurance Guarantee Fund (pursuant to Law no. 213 of 30 December 2023 - Budget Law).
It is highlighted that amounts shown in millions of euros have been rounded, with the result that the sum of the rounded figures does not always tally with the rounded total.
1. Please refer to section 8.2 “Alternative Performance Indicators” for the reconciliation of EBIT and adjusted EBIT.The following infographics are used in this document:

INTERIM REPORT ON OPERATIONS AT 30 JUNE 2026
2. Highlights
3. Outlook
During the first half of 2026, the global economy was characterised by a high degree of uncertainty, mainly due to the geopo -
litical crisis generated by the attack by the United States and Israel against Iran in February, as well as by structural changes in trade policies that have increased the fragmentation of international markets. Global GDP growth is expected to slow to +2.8% in 20262, mainly due to disruptions to shipments through the Strait of Hormuz and damage to energy infrastructure.
In Italy, weaker growth is expected, with GDP increasing by +0.5% in 2026, +0.4% in 2027 and +0.9% in 20283, constrained by the weakening of domestic demand, rising energy prices and financing costs, and geopolitical uncertainty. The Group has analysed the effects of the increased volatility in financial markets and energy commodity prices and, at present, no significant impacts on the current and prospective equity, financial and economic situation have emerged. The Group will continue to monitor the evolution of this context, evaluating possible prospective effects.
The Group recorded its best first half in terms of revenue, Adjusted EBIT4 and net profit, confirming its ability to generate sustainable value over time. In particular, Adjusted EBIT amounted to €1,772 million (+7% y/y), while consolidated net profit amounted to €1,2115 million (+4% y/y).
All Strategic Business Units contributed to these results. In particular, it should be noted that the Group’s client total financial assets reached €613 billion at the end of June, driven by the growth of investment products and deposits and with net inflows from Postal Savings improving year-on-year. The Group’s leading position in Italy in the parcels segment was also consolidat -
ed, as was growth in the payments segment and in particular in the energy segment, which reached a customer base of 1.2 million users.
In addition to the competitive dividend policy, based on a payout ratio of over 70% and the distribution of dividends received from TIM on a cash-for-cash basis, as communicated to the market in February 2026 on the occasion of the presentation of the preliminary results for the year 2025, it should be noted that Poste Italiane shareholders have benefited from a progressive increase in the share price, resulting in growing overall remuneration, reflected in a Total Shareholder Return (TSR) approxi -
mately 2.5 times higher than that recorded by the main stock exchange index (FTSE MIB). On 17 June 2026, the share reached an all-time high, with a price of over €29, corresponding to a market capitalisation of approximately €38 billion.
Over the course of the second half of the year, the Group will be engaged in implementing an internal reorganisation that involves the creation of a Financial Hub by integrating the payments business with financial services, with the aim of strength -
ening the customer-centric approach, optimising the allocation of capital within the Group and maximising synergies, includ -
ing by simplifying the operational structure. In this regard, on 23 July 2026, PostePay and Poste Italiane approved a partial demerger project of the former in favour of the Parent Company, involving a set of assets and legal relationships, including PostePay EMI RFC. The effectiveness of the transaction is expected from 1 January 2027.
In addition, on 20 July 2026, the acceptance period began for the voluntary total takeover and exchange bid (OPAS) launched by Poste Italiane for TIM, which is expected to be finalised by the third quarter of the year. The OPAS aims to create a single national Group that will represent the largest connected infrastructure platform, with leading positions in financial and insurance services, logistics and digital connectivity services.
The Poste Italiane’s “platform company” business model, which is based on Italy’s most extensive physical and digital network, finds a natural evolution in its integration with TIM, through the convergence of networks, the cloud, edge computing, data and digital identity. The creation of such a Group would generate significant value for shareholders, with revenue and cost synergies estimated at €0.7 billion annually at full run rate.

4. Adjusted EBIT does not include charges for the contribution to the Life Insurance Guarantee Fund, amounting to €38 million in the first half of 2025. With reference to the 2026 financial year, the charge will be recognised on 31.12.2026, in line with the recently issued reference regulations.
5. Consolidated net profit excluding the effects of the equity measurement of the investment in TIM SpA, including the effects of the Purchase Price Allocation (PPA).
12INTERIM REPORT AT 30 JUNE 2026
Poste Italiane Group
Also for 2026, the Poste Italiane Group confirms the centrality of postal savings and the focus on offering products/services that are in step with evolving customer needs. Negotiations are underway with Cassa Depositi e Prestiti (CDP) for the renewal of the CDP-Poste Agreement on the Postal Savings collection service for the years 2027-2030.
Over the next few months, the Group will be engaged in redefining the methods of assessing and presenting the businesses within the new operating segments (segment reporting). The current 4 Strategic Business Units will be replaced by 3 Strategic Business Units represented by a sector dedicated to mail, parcel and logistics services and the distribution network, a financial and insurance services hub and, subject to the completion of the takeover and exchange bid for TIM, an SBU that will combine connectivity and technology, including telecommunications and energy services.
In February, the 2026 guidance for adjusted EBIT and consolidated net profit was communicated to the financial community, expected to exceed €3.3 billion and €2.3 billion, respectively. The positive financial performance recorded in the first three months of the year then led the management to revise upwards, already in May, the guidance for adjusted EBIT to €3.4 billion.
This guidance is confirmed by the results achieved in the second quarter of the year, while, taking into account the Group’s further strategic developments, a new Strategic Plan is expected to be presented in the first quarter of 2027.
During the year, Poste Italiane will continue its deep digital transformation journey, placing Artificial Intelligence (AI) at the centre of its omnichannel platform as the accelerator of the Strategic Plan, applying it to the commercial service model, logistics and in the strengthening and streamlining of operations, always in keeping with the Group’s core values. Thanks also to artificial intelligence (AI), technology and the use of data, which will be enhanced with the presence of TIM, Poste Italiane will deepen its knowledge of its customers’ needs and will be increasingly able to anticipate them. In this way, the Poste Italiane app will increasingly become a hyper-personalised commercial channel, in order to increase digital sales and develop qualified engage -
ment for the Post Office. In addition, through agentic and physical6 AI, Poste Italiane aims to rework its working models and improve business efficiency.
By 2026, the Group will complete “Polis”, a strategic project to support the country’s social cohesion, which involves approxi -
mately 7,000 municipalities with less than 15,000 inhabitants, in which the Post Office will be transformed into a hub of digital services for rapid and easy access to the Public Administration’s services. Some 250 co-working spaces nationwide are also planned, as well as the implementation of numerous initiatives to support the country’s energy transition. Since the start of the project, about 5,825 Post Offices and 175 Spaces for Italy (co-working) have been completed.
6. Agentic Artificial Intelligence is a form of AI capable of autonomously planning and executing actions to achieve specific goals; physical Artificial Intelligence, on the other hand, integrates these capabilities into robots and systems that interact directly with the real world through sensors and actuators.

MAIL, PARCELS AND DISTRIBUTION
Patrimonio Italia
Logistica - SICAF SpA externally managedDuring 2026, Poste Italiane continued the process of enhancing the value of its logistics real estate assets, which began in 2025 with the establishment of the externally managed com -
pany Patrimonio Italia Logistica - SICAF SpA (“SICAF”) and the Development Fund called Sviluppo Italia Logistica 1 (“SIL 1”). For details on these initiatives, please refer to the Report on Operations, paragraph 4.4 Group structure, in the 2025 Annual Report.
As part of this initiative, on 26 February 2026, a further capital increase of the SICAF was completed, aimed both at meeting the financial needs of the SIL 1 Fund and at continuing the process of strengthening and enhancing the transferred property portfolio. The capital increase was carried out through the contribution of a further 7 properties and a cash contri -
bution of approximately €18 million by Poste Italiane, as well as a payment of approximately €1 million by DeA Capital.
Following the capital increase, the share capital of the SICAF is therefore broken down as follows: Poste Italiane SpA: 96.69% and DeA Capital: 3.31%.
Bridge Technologies
SrlThe merger by incorporation of Bridge Technologies Srl into Poste Italiane SpA, whose merger plan had already been approved by the respective boards of directors in January 2026, was formalised by a deed before a notary on 26 June 2026. The effective date of the merger is set for 1 July 2026, with the accounting and tax effects of the transaction backdated to 1 January 2026.
Other transactions
yOn 22 March 2026, the Board of Directors of Poste Italiane approved the launch of a voluntary total takeover and exchange bid (“OPAS”) for 2,135,725,81910 TIM ordinary shares, representing the total number of ordinary shares, including the newly issued ordinary shares to facilitate the 1:1 conversion of savings shares and the treasury shares held by TIM, net of the shares held by Poste Italiane following the conversion of the savings shares equal to 429,363,990 (the “Transaction”).
The consideration to be paid by Poste Italiane to TIM shareholders who accept the Bid will consist of (i) a cash component of €1.6710 for each TIM share accepted under the OPAS, and (ii) a share component of 0.21810 newly issued Poste Italiane’s ordinary shares for each TIM share accepted under the OPAS.
The total consideration for the Transaction (the sum of the cash portion and the share portion), equal to €10.8 billion based on the official price of Poste Italiane’s shares on 20 March 2026, represents a value of €6.35 (post TIM share reverse split) for each TIM share and, therefore, incorporates a premium equal to 9.01% compared to the official price of TIM shares recorded on 20 March 2026.
The objective of the OPAS is to acquire the entire share capital of TIM and to delist TIM shares from Euronext Milan.
On 7 July 2026, the Board of Directors of Poste Italiane exercised the mandate conferred by the Shareholders’ Meeting of 18 June 2026, resolving on a paid-up share capital increase, including in several tranches, to be subscribed by 31 December 2026, for a maximum total nominal amount of €371,986,879, plus share premium, by issuing a maximum num -
ber of 371,986,879 ordinary shares, to be paid up by contribution in kind, to service the takeover and exchange bid on TIM shares.
24INTERIM REPORT AT 30 JUNE 2026
Poste Italiane Group
On 20 July 2026, the acceptance period began for the voluntary total takeover and exchange bid (OPAS) launched by Poste Italiane for TIM, which is expected to be finalised by the third quarter of the year.
The Transaction aims to create an integrated Group with leadership positions in the main sectors in which it operates, leveraging the complementarity of its assets, technological expertise and customer bases. The new Group would benefit from strong revenue diversification across connectivity, financial services, insurance and logistics, thereby enhancing its resilience in cash generation. The integration would enable significant efficiencies through the joint management of techno -
logical investments and digital platforms. The Transaction would also help strengthen the Italian telecommunications sector, through an operator with the scale required to support infrastructure investments. In addition, there is the value of the TIM Brazilian business, which is highly profitable and generates strong cash flows.
The combination of Poste Italiane and TIM distribution networks would create a single nationwide physicaldigital platform, supported by a large and highly digitalised customer base. The new Group would become a leading provider of technology, financial and logistics services, with advanced expertise in the cloud, AI, Internet of Things (IoT) and cybersecurity. With a stable public majority, governance would ensure consistency with the role of services of general interest and with the country’s digital transformation objectives. Finally, the Transaction would enhance TIM human resources, expanding oppor -
tunities for professional development and strengthening its ability to attract talent in highly specialised technology sectors.
The Transaction envisages significant value creation for shareholders, with pre-tax synergies estimated at full run rate to be at least €0.7 billion per year. The combined Group would be one of the country’s leading integrated platforms with aggregate operating revenue of approximately €26.9 billion, an aggregate EBIT of approximately €4.8 billion and approximately 140 thousand employees.
For further details on the Transaction, please refer to the documentation published in the dedicated section of the Poste Italiane’s corporate website concerning the Voluntary Total Takeover and Exchange Bid for Telecom Italia SpA.
yAt its meeting of 12 November 2025, the Board of Directors of Poste Italiane SpA resolved to exercise its option right to purchase a 49% investment in the share capital of PagoPA SpA (“PagoPA ”), offered by the Ministry of the Economy and Finance, pursuant to Legislative Decree no. 19/2024, converted with amendments by Law no. 56 of 29 April 2024. The remaining 51% of PagoPA’s share capital, in line with the same legislation, is acquired by the Istituto Poligrafico e Zecca dello Stato.
The transaction is expected to close by the third quarter of 2026, following the receipt of authorisation from the Italian Antitrust Authority, to which it was communicated pursuant to the regulations on the control of concentrations between companies.
yIn order to respond effectively to the evolution of the Italian retail market context, Poste Italiane is continuing the preparatory activities to create, within BancoPosta, a “ Financial Hub ”, into which to merge the payment and electronic money services activities currently carried out by PostePay SpA - EMI RFC, thereby moving beyond the solution adopted by PostePay SpA at the time as a “hybrid” EMI, as it operates simultaneously in diverse sectors such as payments, telephony and energy. In particular, it is planned to carry out a partial demerger of PostePay SpA to be implemented by assigning to Poste Italiane SpA a collection of assets and legal relationships consisting of: (i) equity investments held by PostePay in Lis Holding SpA, N&TS SpA, Conio Inc. and Volante Technologies Holdco Inc. which will be assigned to Poste Italiane general assets and (ii) a collection of assets and legal relationships that currently make up the assets allocated to EMI RFC, including the equity investment in LIS Pay SpA, which will be assigned to the assets allocated to BancoPosta.
Following the authorisation measures issued by the Bank of Italy regarding the transaction, the Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting of 23 July 2026 resolved: (i) modifications of the BancoPosta RFC Regulation and (ii) approval of the plan for the partial demerger of PostePay with assignment of the demerged business to Poste Italiane and simultaneous allocation of part of the demerged business to BancoPosta RFC, subject to amendment of the aforementioned BancoPosta RFC.
yAs part of a wider process of streamlining the efficiency of the Poste Italiane Group’s information communication technology processes, by centralising the management of the subsidiaries’ information systems at the Parent Company, the sale of the LIS Holding SpA ’s ICT business unit to Poste Italiane SpA was completed. The effects of the sale took effect on 1 April 2026.
yOn 16 April 2026, Poste Logistics SpA (“Poste Logistics”), a Poste Italiane Group company dedicated to integrated logis -
tics activities, entered into a Strategic Partnership Agreement with Benetton Group Srl , with the aim of creating a logistics hub capable of attracting new customers and supporting the growth of Italian and European trade. The agree -
ment, which aims to leverage the parties’ assets and specific expertise in the management and distribution of clothing, provides for Poste Logistics to acquire a majority 51% stake in Benetton Logistics Srl, a spin-off company of the Benetton Group, renamed Logistic 360 Srl (the “Joint Venture” or the “Transaction”). The core objectives of the Joint Venture are to strengthen and develop the Castrette di Villorba hub, located in the province of Treviso, which is one of the most advanced European hubs dedicated to managing logistics for the fashion sector. The Transaction, which was subject to the condition precedent of notification to the Italian Antitrust Authority, was notified on 24 April 2026 and formally took effect on that date.
yOn 16 June 2026, Poste Italiane SpA signed a purchase and sale agreement aimed at acquiring a 20% stake in the share capital of Polo Strategico Nazionale SpA (“PSN”), held by CDP Equity SpA (“CDPE”). PSN is the company established as part of the “Cloud Italy Strategy” and the National Recovery and Resilience Plan, with the mission of designing, imple -
menting and managing a cloud infrastructure with high reliability, security and localisation throughout the country, intended for the provision of digital services to the Public Administration. The transaction is aimed at strengthening the Poste Italiane Group’s positioning in the digital infrastructure and cloud services sector in support of the Public Administration. The closing of the transaction, expected by the end of 2026, is subject to the fulfilment of the conditions precedent provided for in the contract.
yOn 3 June 2026, Poste Italiane acquired the remaining 30% stake held by Mazzocco Srl (“Mazzocco”), a company belong -
ing to the Italtrans Group, in MLK Fresh Srl (“MLK Fresh”). The parties also agreed to continue their collaboration in the Fresh and Grocery segment through an exclusively commercial partnership, continuing the agreements already in place for the provision of logistics services. As a result of the transaction, Poste Italiane holds 100% of the share capital of MLK Fresh.
yOn 4 June 2026, the sale of the 40% stake held by Poste Italiane in Financit SpA (“Financit”) in favour of BNL BNP Paribas (“BNL”), already the majority shareholder of the company with a 60% stake, was formalised. Following the transaction, Poste Italiane therefore exits the Financit share capital.
The commercial collaboration with Financit, which began in 2013 and has been consolidated over the years, will continue according to the multi-partnership model with which Poste Italiane manages the various loan products.

4.5 Omnichannel approach and operating segments 11. Daily contacts of customers with the Group’s omnichannel platform: visits to the Poste Italiane Group’s website and apps, calls to the contact centre, customers served in Post Offices, transactions carried out at ATM and third-party physical networks, transactions on physical POS and e-commerce.
12. Customers who had at least one access to digital channels and one visit to a Post Office during the year.
13. The drive-to-post-office effect is calculated as the incidence of finalised sales at the post office, referring to customers who have had a previous engagement from a digital channel (e.g. app or web browsing, receiving and opening direct e-mail marketing - DEM - or push) or from call centres.IN THIS CHAPTER:
• The Poste Italiane omnichannel platform strategy • Macroeconomic environment • Mail, Parcels and Distribution Strategic Business Unit • Financial Services Strategic Business Unit • Insurance Services Strategic Business Unit • Postepay Services Strategic Business Unit 4.5.1 The Poste Italiane omnichannel platform strategy Poste Italiane has embarked on a transformation path as part of its strategic guidelines and will continue this path by evolving towards an increasingly connected business model, aimed at creating integrated relationships between citizens, companies and the Public Administration and developing a wider and more personalised range of services, thanks to the use of the Poste Italiane app, data and digital identity, with customer knowledge at the centre. This evolution is enabled by a profound technological transformation, based on the development of the Intelligent Connecting Platform, an AI powered platform built on multi cloud infrastructures and on the widespread adoption of Artificial Intelligence (AI), including in an agent-based approach, to sup -
port new business models and improve operational efficiency and service quality.
In the first half of 2026, the Poste Italiane omnichannel platform managed 27.3 million total daily interactions (+3.7% compared to 26.4 million total daily interactions11 in the first half of 2025). Thanks to significant achievements in digitalising customers and improving the customer experience, Poste Italiane has reached 19.9 million digital customers in the last 12 month, of which around 13.8 million are “hybrid”12 customers (up by 10.6% compared to the first half of 2025). This type of customer benefits from the platform effect, as it has a cross-selling rate twice as high as customers using a single channel.
The Poste Italiane app supports the transformation of the Group into an “Intelligent Connecting Platform”, being designed as a gateway that reinforces the omnichannel capabilities, increasing digital sales and at the same time sales in post offices initiated through digital interaction, through a dynamic referred to as the “drive-to-post-office effect”13.

4. Group Corporate structure, Corporate Governance and organisational structure
Below is a representation of the Group’s omnichannel platform.
The Group’s omnichannel platform establishes an integrated flow that guides the customer through the entire journey, from the engagement phase to the sale and subsequent transactional activities.
The model is structured around two main contact channels:
yphysical engagement , which includes the proprietary network (advisors in post offices, counter staff and in-store outlets) and third-party networks;
yremote engagement , which encompasses the digital infrastructure (app and web) and remote contact points, such as the virtual branch and the contact centre, capable of serving the entire national population.
At the centre of the model is the AI Orchestrator , which, through data and artificial intelligence, identifies customer needs, personalises interactions and coordinates all contact points in an integrated manner.
In this model, the customer chooses the access channel and the path that best suits their needs, while Poste Italiane orches -
trates the interactions and traffic flows between the various contact points (touchpoints), ensuring continuity and consistency of the experience. Orchestration makes it possible to dynamically guide the customer between physical and digital channels and third-party networks, activating Drive-to-Digital and Drive-to-Post Office paths according to the context and com -
mercial opportunities. The channels do not operate as independent or competing elements, but as components of a single integrated ecosystem that collaborates to offer the customer the most effective point of contact at each moment of the journey.
The platform is also designed to evolve towards new interaction models based on artificial intelligence.
Looking ahead, customers will also be able to access the Group’s products and services through e-commerce platforms based on third-party Large Language Models (LLMs)14, which will complement physical and digital channels and third-party networks as new engagement touchpoints. This scenario enables a Business-to-Agents model, in which Poste Italiane will interact not only directly with the end customer, but also with intelligent agents capable of understanding the user’s needs, searching for products and services, making recommendations and supporting the purchasing process. In this context, the AI Orchestrator will continue to govern data, interactions and routing to the most effective channel, ensuring continuity of experi -
ence, personalisation and full integration with the Group’s omnichannel ecosystem.

4. Group Corporate structure, Corporate Governance and organisational structure
The new commercial service model , launched as part of the Strategic Plan, aims to optimise retail customer coverage and transform the Post Office from a space dedicated to transactions to a place for relationships, maximising the value of the Group’s omnichannel platform.
In the area of premium consulting15, the new model was launched by updating the zones and portfolios. During 2026, the process of optimising specialist16 customer coverage and maximising customer value continued by assigning approximately 4,600 Private customers to Premium portfolios, for a total of over 54,000 Private customers in portfolios at 30 June 2026; dur -
ing the period, the process of consolidating the Premium advisory model also continued, through the authorisation of Premium Advisors to offer off-site services, strengthening the commercial and advisory coverage of Private customers and expanding the methods of providing high value-added services.
In the first six months of 2026, efforts continued to strengthen the focus on strategic and higher-value customer segments.
With a view to expanding the customer base, dynamic portfolios17 increased to 2,997 at 30 June 2026 (2,287 at 31 December 2025). Implementation of the new sales service model also continued with actions both in the retail sphere, with the crea -
tion, depending on the type of portfolio managed by the professional figures, of the Specialist Financial Consultant18 and Specialist Mobile Consultant19, personal and dynamic, and in the business sphere, with the introduction of the organi -
sational model of the small business channel20 with the aim of maximising and enhancing the integrated omnichannel offer, while strengthening the synergy with the retail sales force; the new organisational model of the small business channel provides in particular for: i) the elimination of the professional figures Small Business Specialist and Mail and Parcels Specialist, ii) the introduction of the Specialist Business Consultant21, iii) the strengthening of the figure of the Small Business Contact Person22; iv) the qualification for Small Business sales and commercial reporting23 also of the Retail figures (i.e. Post Office Manager, Financial Consultant Specialist, Counter Operator and Front End Operator) of the 5,700 Mifid Post Offices24.
The new organisational model represents a strategic pillar for growth and competitiveness in the small business segment, consolidating a model increasingly oriented towards performance and all-round customer satisfaction in the Poste Italiane ecosystem and the enhancement of capillarity and digitalisation. Under the new model, retail figures assume a central role in the identification and Valuessation of retail customers with VAT registration and work in synergy with Specialist Business Consultants, ensuring effective supervision to best capitalise on sales opportunities and consolidate the business relationship.
As part of the front-end evolution, in the first half of 2026, the process of skills development continued of the Front-End Operator25 to better manage the relational businesses such as Fibre and Energy and it was implemented on 1,769 Post Offices of the Punto Poste Casa & Famiglia network26 (of which 82 activated in 2026) with about 3,000 Front-End Operators applied on the various points.
15. Premium customers, managed through the homonymous portfolios, are those who have assets of at least €500,000 and have subscribed to a Premium contract (Top:
fee-based, Smart: free of charge).
16. % of Private and Affluent customers managed by specialised financial consultants. The indicator is calculated as the ratio of customers managed by specialist consultants to the number of Private and Affluent customers.
17. The dynamic portfolio consists mainly of Affluent customers, i.e. customers with Poste Italiane assets of between €100 thousand and €500 thousand.
18. Specialist Financial Consultants (SCF) provide financial advice at Post Offices with a dedicated room. Dynamic SCF handle the management of Dynamic portfolios, while Personal SCF handle the management of Personal portfolios.
19. Specialist Mobile Consultants (SCM) are on the move, ensuring the commercial coverage at Post Offices without a room and in those belonging to the basic channel.
Dynamic SCM manage a Dynamic portfolio (present within a Gold or Silver zone), while Personal SCM manage a Personal portfolio (present within a Gold zone).
20. Small business customers that are managed by resources of the Poste Italiane’s Post office network function include VAT holders with fewer than 10 employees and an annual turnover of less than €1,000,000. VAT holders with at least 10 employees and a turnover of at least €1,000,000 are managed by resources of the MIPA function of Poste Italiane. These restrictions do not apply to condominiums and freelancers, which are always managed by the Post Office network function.
21. The Specialist Business Consultant is the professional figure assigned to the sale, in a dedicated consulting room, of the Financial and Postal Offer to the Small Business segment.
22. The Small Business Contact Person is the support and commercial figure dedicated to the off-branch sale of financial products and in charge of the functional coordination of the Specialist Business Consultants on the entire offer.
23. A business referral is a request by a customer to be contacted by a business consultant for business advice.
24. MiFID Post Office means a post office where the manager is authorised to sell products falling under MiFID (e.g. insurance investment products).
25. The Front-End Operator is the professional figure in the Punto Poste Casa & Famiglia network who focuses on the sale of products with a high relational content such as third-party motor liability, energy and fibre.
26. The “Punto Poste Casa e Famiglia” project on the core network of Post Offices envisages evolution of the former PostePay corners towards a model dedicated to the marketing of products and services with a high relational content (Energy, Fibre, Motor TPL).
30INTERIM REPORT AT 30 JUNE 2026
Poste Italiane Group
With a view to enhancing customer contacts and strengthening the offer of products and services related to innovative busi -
nesses, the scope of the Front-End Operator’s offer has been expanded. On an experimental basis, in 6 Post Offices of the Punto Poste Casa & Famiglia network, the Front-End Operator was given the opportunity to offer and underwrite a specific type of product from the Poste Vivere Protetti line. The staff involved in the trial are guaranteed appropriate training courses aimed at acquiring the necessary skills both on the type of product and on the related sales process. At the end of the trial, the methods and timing for a possible extension of the offer to the entire Punto Poste Casa & Famiglia network will be evaluated.
In addition, during the second quarter of 2026, the sales structure of the Post office network Macro Area was reviewed with the aim of making the territorial structure more consistent with the corresponding organisational chain of the central structures.

and Punto PosteDuring the first half of 2026, the implementation of the new courier network within the postal network continued, which began in the first half of 2025 and reached approximately 60%. The new courier network is aimed at creating a two-network structure, as envisaged by the strategic path of transforming the Group into a full-service logistics operator; the current network of letter carriers is joined by this new network with the aim of accommodating the growth in parcels and the increasing demand for customisation during delivery (floor delivery, cash on delivery, proximity services, etc.). The new model takes the form of a more flexible network, with a coverage of around 80% of the population and a delivery frequency of six days out of seven, which will enable the delivery of parcels weighing up to 10 kilograms and larger than on the traditional postmen/ postwomen network. The logistics flow of the new courier network is shown below.
The distinguishing features of the new network are: the option to use micro-fulfilment29 for same-day deliveries, specialised activities for new segments (e.g. Pharma and refrigerated products) and the enhancement of the Pick Up-Drop Off (PUDO) network for increased productivity and delivery sustainability. For more details on the characteristics of the PUDO network, please refer to the section “PUDO (Pick Up - Drop Off) Network”.

Health logistics activities With the acquisition of Plurima, which took place in 2022, Poste Italiane entered the field of drug logistics, enhancing com -
puterisation and tracking systems for storage, distribution and continuous monitoring of activities. The use of an advanced computer application (Pharmatools), as well as equipment, technologies and tools, allow real-time monitoring of the vehicles, the material transported, the correct transport conditions and the integrity of the data, guaranteeing high levels of quality and reliability of deliveries. In detail, Plurima manages the following macro-categories of goods on behalf of public and private Local Health Authorities and Hospitals: pharmaceuticals, medical devices, office supplies and other health and non-health products.
The logistics flow is shown below:
The logistics flow starts with the storage phase, in which the acceptance and conformity check of goods delivered by cus -
tomers at Plurima’s warehouses takes place, with the support of Pharmatools. The hospital departments and territorial facilities (ASL) or RSAs transmit the orders, initiating the picking phase of the stored goods, which ends with the checking of fittings and billing. The products are loaded onto vehicles to be delivered to community facilities and hospitals. Within the hospitals, internal distribution to the wards takes place, thanks also to Plurima’s staff and, in some cases, the company also provides innovative hardware and software for managing ward logistics (micrologistics).
The activity of transporting biological material consists of collecting the biological samples30 at the collection centres and transporting them to the analysis laboratories.

Poste Italiane Group
Integrated logistics activities In line with the strategic objective of transforming itself into an all-round logistics operator, Poste Italiane has begun to contend with the challenges related to the integrated logistics market since the Covid-19 pandemic, both through the support provid -
ed to the commissarial structures (now the Ministry of Health), and through the recent construction of long-term contractual relationships with players belonging to different segments (telco and GDO large-scale trade). These agreements have enabled the Group to build a solid technological base to guarantee typical warehousing operations (warehouse management - goods receiving - picking31 - product preparation - shipping) and to complement these solutions with typical express courier services, such as home or shop delivery. In this regard, the first major orders acquired during the year 2023 for the complete logistics management32 paved the way at the end of the year for new customer awards and, in the course of 2025, Poste Logistics measured itself against new market segments, such as event logistics, playing a leading role in the preparatory activities for the Milan-Cortina 2026 Olympic Games. During the first half of 2026, the acquisition of new orders relating to the contract logistics business continued. For more details, please refer to section 4.5.3 “Mail, Parcels and Distribution Strategic Business Unit”.
The logistics flow is shown below.
In detail, the process of Integrated Logistics starts with the reception of the goods transported from the customer to the Poste Logistics warehouse, as well as their control and storage.
The handling and output of the product starts with the receipt of the order by the customer (through the integration between the customer’s systems and those of the warehouse). The order indicates the product category, quantity, required processing and destination information. This is followed by product picking, preparation/packing and the start of outbound operations (leaving the warehouse). Having reached this stage, the product can follow two flows: the courier flow , with delivery to the customer’s home or Post Office; the dedicated network flow , which, depending on the specific commodity nature of the product, travels via an ad-hoc network, bypassing the sorting hubs and delivering the parcel directly to the customer’s point 31. Warehouse picking is the activity of picking, sorting and distributing material from one load unit to several others. This activity is carried out with each grouping of materials in order to process and dispatch them.

Poste Italiane Group
Digital infrastructure and remote contact points The Poste Italiane Group has implemented a programme of “digital transformation” aimed at innovating service and offer mod -
els in order to guarantee its customers contact experiences integrated in an omnichannel approach.
In the first quarter of 2026, the Group continued to work on improving the digital channel experience (app and web) intervening both on simplification of interactions and operations and on strengthening the digital sales channel, with particular attention to the development of the single Poste Italiane app.
The Group’s digital channels (app and web) are as follows:
Poste Italiane app : a profound process of transformation and enrichment, launched in 2023, has led it to become the app with which customers can manage, through a single point of access, all of the Company’s products and services such as financial, payment, savings, telecommunications, utilities and insurance prod -
ucts; in addition, the new single app also allows simplified access to the physical network thanks to the possi -
bility of booking appointments at the Post Office, sending and managing mail and parcels, and pre-filling forms to speed up operations at the Post Office.
Throughout 2026, the digital customer relationship model will continue to evolve through the introduction of new features designed to improve the in-app user experience and personalisation, thereby maximising the wealth of customer information available.
Poste.it website : this is the Group’s consumer and business portal, where it is possible to browse the range of services offered and which allows customers to consult and manage the products they own. Throughout 2026, in line with the P app, the website will continue to evolve with the implementation of new features aimed at improving the user experience and strengthening customers’ digital relationship with Poste Italiane.
In addition, Poste Italiane manages:
Poste Business app : app for managing the main financial services (accounts, cards, collections) dedicated to Professionals and Small/Medium Enterprises;
PosteID app : the Poste Italiane Digital Identity app (SPID - Sistema Pubblico d’Identità Digitale).

Sales contracts (e.g. opening a current account or postal savings book) and underwriting products (e.g. investment products). The direct digital contribution is calculated as the proportion of sales made via the digital channel out of the total sales made at post offices and via the digital channel, while the D2PO contribution is calculated as the proportion of sales finalised at post offices that relate to customers who had a prior interaction via a digital channel (e.g., browsing the app or website, receiving and opening Direct Email Marketing - DEM - or push notifications) or via the call centre.
2. The direct digital contribution is calculated as the proportion of payments made via the digital channel compared to payments made at post offices and via the digital channel: (e.g. credit transfers, Postepay top-ups, phone top-ups, bill payments, etc.).
3. The figure for the first half of 2025 refers to the total for all apps (Poste Italiane app, BancoPosta app, Postepay app).
Total daily interactions: daily contacts of customers with the Group’s omnichannel platform: visits to the Poste Italiane Group’s website and apps, calls to the contact centre, customers served in Post Offices, transactions carried out at ATM third-party networks, transactions on physical POS and e-commerce.
Active digital customers in the last 12 months: customers who logged in at least once on the app and/or web in the last 12 months with respect to the reporting period.
Hybrid customers: customers who logged in at least once on the app and/or web and visited the Post Office in the last 12 months compared to the reporting period.
In the first half of 2026, the Poste Italiane Group achieved a total number of daily interactions of 27.3 million (26.4 million total daily interactions in the first half of 2025). The number of active digital customers also grew during the same period, reaching 19.9 million in the last 12 months, up 7.1% compared to the first half of 2025.
In the first half of 2026, 46.3% of total sales34 includes a digital contribution: 26.4% were completed through direct digital channels and 19.9% through the drive-to-post-office effect.
Overall, this represents 19% y/y growth in terms of volumes.
Digital customers enabled to transact on-line via e-wallet reached 15.1 million in the first half of 2026. Following the migration of the PostePay and BancoPosta apps to the Poste Italiane app (P app), the number of daily active users grew significantly, reaching 4.2 million in the first half of 2026, an increase of 11.7% compared to the sum of the users of the previous apps (3.7 million in the first half of 2025). This result confirms the P app as the most used Italian app.

Poste Italiane Group
Evolution of the omnichannel ecosystem and major initiatives in 2026 Throughout the first half of 2026, the Poste Italiane Group continued to evolve its digital channels with a view to ensuring a seamless, omnichannel experience for its customers.
New features have been introduced in the Poste Italiane app , designed to make the digital experience increasingly simple and instant. The aim is to enable customers to manage payments, savings and Group services easily and conveniently, directly from their smartphones.
In particular, the new Assets/Liquidity feature has been introduced, which provides customers with both an aggregated view of the financial products held and a detailed view of individual Postal Savings and Investment products, including the representation of returns.
As part of the process of enriching and standardising the customer experience across all digital touchpoints, the first phase of the release of returns introduces:
ythe Portfolio performance, which shows the Unrealised Profits and Losses (Unrealised P&L) at portfolio and individual prod -
uct level35;
ythe Money Weighted Rate of Return (MWRR) as a performance indicator at the level of individual products36. Limited to this indicator, visibility is allowed to all life policyholders and, in addition, to a cluster of customers with predefined characteristics in terms of portfolio and product ownership.
To ensure greater consistency with the Asset categories (which can be accessed from the new “Financial situation” section on the homepage), the app homepage has been reorganised through the “Poste Hub”37, specifically:
ythe new “ Investments ” world has been introduced, which provides access to the aggregate and detailed view of invest -
ment products (life insurance policies, funds, asset management and securities);
ythe “Postal Savings ” world has been divided into two separate cards (“Postal Savings Books” and “Savings”);
ythe “Insurance ” world has been reorganised and includes Protection and Motor TPL policies;
ya dedicated Poste Hub has been created for Pension policies.
During 2026, the Poste Italiane app continued to evolve towards an increasingly dynamic and personalised experience, designed to adapt seamlessly to customers’ needs and simplify their daily interaction. The experience is no longer unique and static, but changes over time by automatically rearranging content, services and navigation paths to make the most relevant features immediately accessible.
The homepage, widgets38, available operations and Poste Hub are continuously reconfigured, bringing to the fore what is most useful at that specific moment. For example:
yfor younger customers, the app will have a dark background by default and a more basic view of the Poste Hub;
yfor customers with more advanced needs, the experience will place greater emphasis on information such as assets and returns, with dedicated distinctive elements and greater prominence given to savings and investment solutions;
yfor financial users with a single product, the latest transactions will be highlighted directly on the Home page, for quick and intuitive consultation.
The visual experience also contributes to this evolution, with graphic elements, colours and information hierarchies that adapt to make browsing more fluid, clear and consistent. This approach makes it possible to offer an app that is simpler, more rel -
evant and closer to people’s needs, capable of accompanying the customer through the different stages of their relationship with Poste and naturally enhancing access to services and the range of products.
35. Regarding the Unrealised Profits and Losses (Unrealised P&L) figure:
- The values shown in the Savings section represent the interest already accrued on SuperSmart Deposits and Interest-bearing Postal Certificates;
- The values shown in the Investment section indicate the possible economic result of an investment (profit or loss). The Profits and Losses indicator is calculated as the difference between the current market value of the investment and its value at the time of purchase/subscription.
36. The return is represented in relative terms (as a percentage), taking into account the initial capital invested and the cash flows (deposits and withdrawals) made during the selected investment period.
37. Each “Poste Hub” aggregates specific products and allows the customer to manage their products individually.
38. Graphic component designed to display information and offer quick access to specific functions.

During the period, there has been the introduction of new functionalities for the Minors’ Passbook to support younger users in the responsible use of financial services. In particular, parents/guardians will be able to enable minors to carry out online trans -
actions and set transaction limits via “parental control”. Activation within the app can be carried out by having the child or young person scan a QR code directly from their own app.
Minors will be able to access digital channels to view information relating to their Libretto Minori (balance, transaction list, certifi -
cates and deposits) and to carry out transaction orders (cardless withdrawals), always in a secure manner and under supervision.
For customers with an Interest-bearing Postal Certificate (BFP) and a Supersmart Deposit (DSS), it will be possible to inde -
pendently reinvest the expired amounts from digital channels by choosing the product to which the amounts are to be allocated, without restrictions, between BFP and DSS.
Moreover, a revised section dedicated to direct debits has been implemented to give customers full control over their recur -
ring debits, with the ability to revoke a mandate or reject a future debit directly from the app, in just a few steps. The management of direct debits has been included in the new single Dashboard for the monitoring and management of recurring payments.
In fact, the “ Recurring Payments Dashboard ” service has been implemented within the app channel, allowing the user to manage and keep track of recurring payments in a single place for the following types: subscription, direct debit, standing order, automatic top-up and tokenised cards39.
From a user-centric perspective, the Dashboard offers an overall view of recurring payments so that users are aware of all the recurrences set up on Poste Italiane payment instruments.
A number of improvements have also been introduced to make the authorisation process for online purchases and trans -
actions clearer and more intuitive . The main new features include:
ypossibility to retrieve authorisation requests related to payments or online transactions on the Notice Board, thanks to the addition of a new “Authorisations” filter;
ynotifications of authorisation requests, which will remain visible on the phone until the finalisation period expires, thereby reduc -
ing the risk of the user missing them;
yvisual indicator on the app icon that alerts the user when there is a pending authorisation request and redirects them to the transaction summary page.
Other digital retail and business channel enhancements During the first half of 2026, measures were implemented to continuously simplify and improve the experience of Poste Italiane Group’s private and business customers across all service areas offered.
yIn the first part of 2026, the migration to the new Customer Experience Management (CXM) platform was completed.
This platform is designed for advanced management of the customer listening and response cycle and to support function -
alities ranging from omnichannel collection and analysis of feedback to the structured closure of reports (Close the Loop).
The focus of the second quarter of 2026 was on the evolution of the CXM model through the implementation of four lines
of activity:
–the creation of dashboards for each customer segment (retail, business, partner and employee) with data on all customer feedback and interactions for Close-the-Loop management;
–the extension of the listening model to the new LIS third-party network channel through the activation of an initial survey. In this context, in May 2026, a pilot listening exercise was launched on the Third-Party Network of LIS points of sale to assess the issues of greatest interest to the relevant partners, with the aim of extending the listening exercise to the entire network of over 50,000 points of sale by the end of the current year;
–the data product infrastructure40 of the Customer Listening Hub was completed with the release of the two data products relating to Customer Feedback Management (CFM) and the Customer Journey, with the mapping of phys -
ical and digital customer journeys, identifying critical moments to understand and improve the experience;
39. These are Poste Italiane cards that have been saved on certain sites so that the user does not have to enter the details each time.
40. A data product is a reusable and self-contained package that combines data, metadata and models, designed, managed and maintained as a real product, with users, objectives, quality and ongoing maintenance to support different business use cases.

–Process Intelligence activity continued on the main processes with an impact on the customer experience (inher -
itance, claims settlement, logistics). In particular, in the logistics area, work continued on the evolution of transport and HUB visits to reduce lead times, optimise Service Level Agreements (SLAs) and improve the customer experience.
yIn January 2026, Poste Italiane, in its capacity as Public Identity Operator, updated the general terms and conditions of the SPID-enabled PosteID service, introducing an annual fee of €6 (including VAT) for customers to continue using the func -
tionality to access public and private services that display the SPID logo.
The notice updating the general terms and conditions of the service was disseminated from 2 January and will gradually reach the entire customer base active at 31 December 2025 of approximately 23.9 million public digital identity holders over the course of the year. In line with its mission of inclusiveness, Poste Italiane has exempted certain categories of users from paying the annual fee. In particular, elderly people aged 75 or over, minors and those residing abroad are protected and will continue to use the service at no additional cost. The Operator has made it possible to pay the fee both on-line and directly at a Post Office, for the renewal of one’s own service or that of another person in need of support. The capital investments required for the functioning of the technical and operational infrastructure and for the development of the SPID service began in 2025 and will continue in 2026 and 2027.
yThe evolution of the post-login area of poste.it continues, with measures to optimise the experience on MyPoste and on the financial offer, and the completion of the review of the appointment booking funnel (counter and consultancy room), in continuity with the restyling process started in 2025.
yWith a view to strengthening the Group’s omnichannel platform, the new Customer File was released in Post Offices in the first half of 2026, with progressive implementation across the network, with the aim of supporting retail advisors in their daily work and creating a centralised tool (based on the “Poste Italiane app” model) for managing customer relation -
ships , with a 360° view and integration of the main sales and operational activities . In particular, the new Customer File is characterised by:
–the possibility of directly accessing all applications without having to exit and enter the different systems (e.g.
updating the document, filling in the MiFID, selling a product, etc.);
–an approach based on the use and analysis of data (data-driven) , which enhances information and customer interactions from an omnichannel perspective;
–access to all information available in the company in the “contact history” section (for example, complaints or online product searches by the customer);
–rapid identification of priority actions to be taken thanks to datadriven models in the “actions to be taken” section (for example, need to update the customer’s document, choice of product to be proposed);
–intuitive display of all asset information consistent with the display the customer has in the Poste Italiane app;
–high levels of customisation with a dynamic structure dedicated to the different roles , capable of adapting to the needs of the various post office workers and configurable by the advisor , with benefits in terms of usability and
operational efficiency;
–finally, analyses are underway to integrate Artificial Intelligence components within the Customer File, with the aim of further supporting the advisor in the preparation and management of the interaction . The main lines of action concern the introduction of assistants based on pre-set instructions (prompts) for the preparation of meetings and the generation of automatic content, evolving the File into a true advanced decision support tool.
yIn the area of online sales, the new digital sales funnel for PosteMobile SIMs was opened for marketing, with an advanced experience aligned with other online sales and natively integrated with the registration processes on the poste.it website.
Other digital retail channel enhancements Various enhancements have been made to the digital channels dedicated to business customers , with the aim of improving the overall experience and simplifying the management of key transactions. Specifically:
yas part of the integration between digital channels and the physical network, a feature was introduced on the business.
poste.it website and on the Poste Business app that allows registered business customers to independently book and manage appointments at the Post Office counter and appointments with the Business Advisor . The solution auto -
matically integrates appointments into the advisors’ diaries, improving the planning of sales activities and helping to improve the customer experience through greater autonomy and reduced waiting times;
yfor customers holding a BancoPosta Business Link current account, a new “Collections” section has been added to the dedicated internet banking portal, enabling them to view statements of incoming bank transfers and collected payment slips in a clear and structured manner. At the same time, the sales funnel for the BancoPosta Business Link current account was enhanced, introducing the option of entering promotional codes (both single-use and multi-use) directly during the account opening process, with the aim of supporting commercial initiatives, the launch of dedicated campaigns, and the automatic application of favourable financial terms for customers;

yon the Poste Business app , the option was introduced to manage the limits for SEPA credit transfers – standard, instant and standing orders – to enable customers to independently configure their transaction limits, including via the mobile channel. This has improved the flexibility and speed with which day-to-day transactions can be managed;
yto complete the enhancement of payment services, instant transfers with a deferred execution date and recurring execution were also introduced, available both on the web and on the Poste Business app , offering customers more efficient payment planning;
ythe Instant Credit Transfer for Tax Deduction feature was enabled on the web, in accordance with the specific regulatory requirements of the service;
yfinally, as part of the evolution of information services for financial transactions, a notification feature was introduced on the Poste Business app for business customers regarding incoming and outgoing transactions on the BancoPosta Business Link account and on Postepay Evolution Business cards. The solution includes a configuration dashboard, availa -
ble on the app, which allows the customer to customise notifications by product owned and type of transaction (incoming/ outgoing), improving control and timeliness in the management of cash flows.
Artificial Intelligence
at the centre of the Group’s omnichannel platform In line with the provisions of the Strategic Plan, in the first half of 2026, the Poste Italiane Group continued its path of profound technological and digital transformation, aimed at the widespread adoption of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and advanced tech -
nologies within its infrastructure and operating models, with the goal of enabling their scalability and integration into business processes.
The adoption of AI is developing along two complementary lines. Externally, AI enhances the omnichannel model of relation -
ships with customers, businesses and the market: by enhancing customer knowledge through a single point of access to the platform, a central orchestrator directs each interaction to the most appropriate channel – digital, Post Office network or partner – ensuring full integration between physical and digital channels. This encourages both the digitalisation of customers and engagement in the Post Office where the need for advice prevails, in particular for wealth management needs. Internally, AI strengthens the operational machine and infrastructure through a large-scale agent platform that increases productivity, frees up resources for higher value-added activities and generates structural efficiencies. The two strands are based on the same technological foundation, ensuring consistency, data sovereignty and sustainability of adoption over time.
To enable the deployment of Artificial Intelligence on a company-wide scale, Poste Italiane is developing an advanced technol -
ogy platform, based on three key technological pillars .
The /f_i rst pillar concerns the evolution of the Digital Core, namely investment in the digital modernisation of technological infrastructure.
The second pillar concerns the creation of the Corporate Knowledge Digital Twin, aimed at establishing a structured and easily accessible digital twin of the company’s semantic assets (data, processes, procedures).
The third pillar involves the implementation of an Agentic AI framework, which enables the transition from passive models to fully autonomous agents capable of reasoning, planning and acting proactively.

Poste Italiane Group
The technology platform enables the Poste Italiane’s Enterprise Digital Brain , enabling a truly transformative use of Artificial Intelligence to redefine processes and services. It also ensures scalable adoption at the Enterprise level and is sustainable over time, while maintaining the confidentiality of critical information thanks to a hybrid infrastructure that combines cloud and onpremise, and which can also leverage the infrastructure of the National Strategic Hub (PSN)41.
In terms of use cases, Artificial Intelligence represents a fundamental accelerator of the pillars of the Poste Italiane Strategic Plan, in the following areas:
yBusiness Service Model (AI Outside) : thanks to the ability to analyse large volumes of data (more than 2 billion trans -
actions analysed in the first half of 2026), Artificial Intelligence enables a deeper understanding of customers that allows anticipating their needs. This information is shared in an integrated manner with both traditional physical channels and digital channels, with the aim of fostering an increase in crossselling, collection and improvement of the Group’s customer experience. Key use cases include the hyperpersonalisation of the Poste Italiane app and advanced customer profiling to support financial advisors. In addition, the possibility of booking a Post Office appointment by telephone was expanded using generative Artificial Intelligence, even to customers who are not inclined to use digital channels.
yLogistics (AI inside): Data and AI are one of the key enablers for the transformation of the Poste Italiane logistics network, which handles more than 1 million parcels every day. In particular, the adoption of predictive models makes it possible to optimise the entire supply chain, from planning through warehouse management to deliveries. This approach has signifi -
cantly reduced operating costs, emissions and delivery times. By way of example, the models concern the prediction of daily parcel volumes, optimisation of middle-mile42 routes and optimisation of vehicle saturation.
With reference to the transversal contribution to the execution of the Strategic Plan, Artificial Intelligence has strengthened and made the Poste Italiane operational machine more efficient, intervening in three key areas:
yCustomer Service (AI Inside): the implementation was completed of the new hybrid “human/AI” service model that offers customised experiences according to the level of digitalisation of customers and enables a significant reduction in cost-to-
serve43. Prominent among the main use cases is the AIKnow Platform, a solution that makes content easily accessible to contact centre operators for easy reference, making it easier for staff assisting customers and to fulfil requests in all areas
of business;
yIT (AI Inside): AI has contributed to a process of further optimisation of the Company’s IT model applied across the board, both for the development of new products and their requisition, and for the automation of development activities and oper -
ations; the process of adopting these tools continues, with the aim of increasing the quality of individual productivity and processes. Among the main use cases, the application to support the user in formulating requirements and in exploring the features to be included stands out. The solution, through the support of an agent, checks the consistency and complete -
ness of the requirements, providing suggestions for integration and improvement to ensure the solution is aligned with the
project objectives;
yCorporate Employees (AI Inside): in the first part of the year, the assignment of Microsoft CoPilot licences to company devices was completed, with about 6,200 licences initially allocated to the Group’s top management and to employees at the headquarters, identified by role and seniority. The adoption of a Chat with Your Data assistant to explore, analyse and query data by simplifying the consultation of company databases is continuing; in addition, AI solutions are being devel -
oped to support the use of training content with the aim of improving skills and supporting professional growth, as well as initiatives to support employees in procurement activities, such as the automated generation of letters or the analysis of administrative documentation for supply tenders.
41. With reference to the latter, please refer to what is explained in the section “Group Corporate structure and principal corporate actions during the period” of this Interim Report on Operations.
42. The Middle Mile Logistics identifies the intermediate transport phase that connects the main nodes of the logistics network (hubs, sorting centres, logistics centres), placing it between the first mile (pick-up/entry into the network) and the last mile (final delivery).
This phase encompasses the volume handling flows between the nodes of the network, using dedicated means of transport, and is characterised by planning, routing and monitoring processes aimed at ensuring efficient loading of means, punctuality of transport and compliance with delivery SLAs.
Within the framework of Poste Italiane systems and initiatives, the middle mile constitutes a distinct and measurable perimeter of the supply chain, the subject of operational control activities, flow analysis, optimisation of vehicle saturation and assessment of network performance, also through analytics solutions and logistics simulation.

4. Group Corporate structure, Corporate Governance and organisational structure
During the first half of 2026, the Artificial Intelligence Committee (AI Committee)44 operated in an industrialised manner, continuing with the relevant approvals, through a scalable management model for homogeneous classes, analysed through a cross-functional risk assessment process. The AI Committee is now the permanent control centre and the Compliance Plan is the operational reference for the compliant and scalable adoption of AI in the Poste Italiane Group. The latter is now inte -
grated into business processes: the guidelines have been completed, the governance framework consolidated and the use case validation procedure structured. An endtoend process is in place that integrates technical analysis, risk assessment and Committee approval, with the systematic involvement of specialist functions.
Regulatory and continuous updating activities also continue, promoting the internal culture for the adoption of safe, transparent and traceable AI technology.
Third-party networks
In the Group’s omnichannel strategy, a crucial role is played by third-party networks, which complement the network of Post Offices for accessing transactional services. This is a network for the offer/delivery of Group products/services through third-party distribution channels.
Poste Italiane has contracted a large network of commercial activities, reaching an articulation of over 50 thousand points at 30 June 2026.
The acquisition of LIS, which took place in September 2022, made it possible to increase the operations of the omnichannel platform, increasing the volume of business on third-party networks with the transactions carried out on LIS points relating to products also not belonging to the Poste Italiane Group’s offer.

Average daily transactions increased in the first half of 2026 to over 1 million45 (+6% y/y), of which LIS points represent approx -
imately 90%, both with Poste Italiane Group’s products and others.
The newly established Third-Party Networks Market sales function gave particular impetus to the development of this network.
During the first half of 2026, the creation of the sales network for this function was initiated, with the identification of specific geographical areas and the recruitment of the first sales staff. This made it possible to launch commercial acquisition and car -
ing campaigns at points of sale aimed at strengthening and growing third-party networks.
During the period, the commercial initiative on Kipoint points of sale was also launched46 with a view to their progressive inte -
gration into the broader network of LIS affiliated points of sale.
The Poste Group’s strategy in the third-party network channel aim to achieve the following objectives:
ydevelop and harmonise the commercial offer on third-party networks in order to make additional physical contact points (touchpoints) available to customers and, at the same time, enhance cross-selling opportunities;
ygenerate commercial synergies with the Post Office network;
yguarantee capillarity and quality in parcel collection and forwarding services thanks to the Punto Poste network. At 30 June 2026, the Punto Poste network is represented by about 18,600 collect points, of which about 16,000 are LIS points (tobac -
conists). Thanks to the partnership with Deutsche Post DHL Group, the expansion of the Punto Poste network is underway with the locker asset (about 2,300 active lockers at 30 June 2026) positioned mainly in metropolitan areas and areas with high e-commerce traffic. In total, the Punto Poste network (collect points and lockers) had about 20,900 points at the end of June 2026, and the volumes (processing) handled47 by the Punto Poste network in the first half of 2026, amounted to about 46 million collections and shipments, an increase of 58% compared to the same period in 2025.
PUDO (Pick Up - Drop Off) Network The evolution of e-commerce in recent years has led to the emergence of new logistics and delivery requirements: among these, Out of Home Delivery (OOHD) is emerging as an increas -
ingly popular solution among European consumers.
Flexibility, proximity and accessibility are the main determining factors behind consumers’ choice of OOHD, in response to e-commerce consumption habits and the reduction of the critical issues of traditional home delivery.
OOHD also confirms its role as a sustainability lever, thanks to the concentration of multiple shipments per delivery point, which reduces vehicle mileage and CO2 emissions per parcel delivered.
The OOHD includes a number of alternative delivery methods to traditional home delivery. During the first half of the year, the Poste Italiane Group continued to strengthen the Pick-Up-Drop-Off (PUDO) network, which at 30 June 2026 had more than 32,000 physical points (approximately 31,300 at the end of 2025) divided between Post Offices used for the poste restante service (approximately 11,700), where customers/vendors can have their shipments delivered, and the Punto Poste network (approximately 20,900), which consists of collect points (local pick-up points) and automated lockers. The locker component recorded the most significant growth, rising from 1,266 at the end of 2025 to 2,280 points at 30 June 2026 (+80%).

49. Source: ECB Economic Bulletin, no. 3/2026.The outlook for the global economy at the start of 2026 were characterised by a high degree of uncertainty, fuelled by geopo -
litical crises and structural changes in trade policies that have exacerbated the fragmentation of international markets. In this context, concerns initially resurfaced following threats of tariffs against countries not aligned with the USA regarding Greenland, and especially following the US Supreme Court’s ruling on 20 February 2026. By declaring the tariffs imposed by President Trump under the IEEPA (International Emergency Economic Powers Act) to be unlawful, this ruling brought the issue of tar -
iffs, and the associated uncertainty that a possible redefinition of tariffs could generate, back to the forefront of the debate.
Subsequently, the escalation of the conflict in the Middle East, with the US and Israel’s attack on Iran at the end of February, caused a supply-side shock in energy markets, with potential systemic effects on economic growth, employment and inflation.
The importance of Iran as an oil producer and the strategic importance of the Strait of Hormuz immediately generated an increase in the prices of crude oil, other major energy commodities and consumer prices, leading on the one hand to expec -
tations of interest rate rises by central banks and on the other to a deterioration in business and household confidence, with possible consequences for consumption and investment trends.
The announcement in March by the International Energy Agency (IEA) of the largest coordinated release of oil reserves ever made by the organisation’s member countries (400 million barrels) and, in April, of a two-week ceasefire offered temporary relief from market tensions.
The continuation of negotiations between the United States and Iran in the second half of the first quarter led to a temporary agreement (Memorandum of Understanding), aimed at continuing the ceasefire and starting negotiations for a broader solution to regional tensions. The agreement provides, among other things, for the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz to commercial traf -
fic, the gradual removal of maritime restrictions and a 60-day period of further negotiations to address outstanding issues, such as aspects relating to Iran’s nuclear programme. The announcement of the agreement helped to reduce fears of disruptions to the global energy supply, leading to a significant fall in oil prices and an improvement in sentiment on the international financial markets. However, elements of uncertainty remain linked to the protracted conflict, the implementation of the agreement and the definition of a final agreement between the parties.
In this context, in the first half of 2026, the world economy continued to expand at a moderate pace, supported by the resilience of economic activity in the US and the strength of the major emerging economies. In the Eurozone, there was a slowdown in economic activity caused by rising energy prices, geopolitical tensions and uncertainty related to international trade. Persistent inflationary pressures have also led the major central banks to maintain a cautious approach in the conduct of monetary policy. In this context, the global growth outlook remains positive but is characterised by a high degree of uncertainty.
According to the latest OECD economic forecasts48, global GDP growth is expected to slow down, going from 3.4% in 2025 to 2.8% in 2026, to then rise to 3.1% in 2027. The United States is expected to grow by +2.0% in 2026 and by +1.8% in 2027, while in the Eurozone, GDP growth is estimated at +0.8% in 2026 and +1.2% in 2027. The outlook remains highly uncertain and reflects the interplay of two opposing forces: on the one hand, it is supported by strong momentum in technology-related investment and production and lower tariffs. On the other, disruptions to shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, coupled with damage to energy infrastructure, have caused a surge in energy prices and limited global supply of energy and key raw mate -
rials such as fertilizer, resulting in higher costs that are fuelling inflationary pressures. Inflation in the G20 countries is expected to rise from 3.4% in 2025 to 4.0% in 2026, and then fall to 3.1% in 2027 as energy price pressures gradually ease and food prices rise.
In the Eurozone, inflation as measured by the Harmonised Index of Consumer Prices rose to 3.0% in April49, from 2.6% in March and 1.9% in February. The increase was driven by sharp increases in energy prices caused by the war in the Middle East. In May, there was a further increase in inflation (3.2% y/y), which then settled at 2.8% in June, the lowest rate since February, before the war in Iran disrupted energy supplies and pushed up oil prices.

At its meetings on 5 February, 19 March and 30 April, the ECB kept the deposit rate unchanged at 2%, while at its meeting on 11 June, as expected, it raised rates by 25 basis points, bringing the deposit reference rate to 2.25%, mainly due to inflationary pressures generated by the war in the Middle East. According to the ECB latest forecasts50, headline inflation is expected to be 3% in 2026 and 2.3% in 2027, with a return to the 2% target only in 2028. Inflation excluding energy and food is projected to be 2.5% in both 2026, and in 2027 and 2.2% in 2028. Economic growth has been revised downwards by one tenth for 2026 and 2027 to +0.8% and +1.2% respectively, and upwards for 2028 to +1.5%.
In Italy, the economy showed good resilience in the first quarter of the year, recording GDP growth of 0.3% in cyclical terms (+0.8% in trend terms), mainly thanks to exports, which were the most dynamic component (+2.2% on a cyclical basis), investment (+0.7%) and consumption by resident households and private social institutions (+0.5%)51. The positive economic signals observed in the first months of the year were followed by a rapid deterioration in the international environment; in May 2026, the sentiment of economic operators showed a divergent trend: on the one hand, consumer confidence strengthened, after the marked slowdown recorded between March and April; on the other hand, the deterioration in business confidence continued, particularly in construction and market services. In contrast, retail trade confidence was up. The manufacturing PMI index showed a clear recovery, exceeding 50 points in both April (52.1) and May (52.9), the highest level recorded in 4 years.
In contrast, the services sector reported a decline in the spring, falling to 49.4 in May compared to 49.8 in April.
Inflation in the first quarter of the year remained below the Euro Area average; however, the conflict in the Middle East led to a marked increase in energy commodity prices, which was reflected in the April inflation figure. The Harmonised Index of Consumer Prices (HICP) rose from an average of +1.4% in the first quarter to +2.8% in April, with a subsequent acceleration in May (+3.2% year-on-year). The rise in HICP inflation is mainly attributable to sharp increases in energy prices (+9.3% in April and +12% in May) and food prices (+2.9% and +2.8%). Core inflation (i.e. net of the most volatile elements such as energy and unprocessed food) was 1.6% in April and 1.8% in May, lower than the average for the first three months of the year (+2.1%), mainly due to the absorption of the sharp rise in service prices in February, largely due to the Milan-Cortina Winter Olympic Games.
According to the Bank of Italy’s latest macroeconomic projections52, Italian GDP is estimated to increase by 0.5% in 2026, 0.4% in 2027 and 0.9% in 2028, held back by weaker domestic demand, higher energy prices, geopolitical uncertainty and rising financing costs. Inflation will rise to 3.1% in 2026, mainly due to rising energy prices, before falling to 2.0% in 2027 and 1.9% in 2028.

Internal calculations based on AGCOM data (quarterly observatories and annual report 2025) and the latest available financial statements of companies operating in the postal sector, including Poste Italiane.4.5.3 Mail, Parcels and Distribution Strategic Business Unit The postal market continues to undergo a period of change linked to the digital transformation, which, on the one hand, leads to a continuous structural decline in traditional mail volumes, stimulating the emergence and development of new digital com -
munication markets (e-substitution), and, on the other hand, to an increase in the volume of parcels sent thanks to the growth of e-commerce, also enabling synergies for the proposal of end-to-end solutions within Contract Logistics.
In particular, for the mail segment , a further structural decline in the market was estimated in 2025 both in terms of volumes (-6.8% compared to 2024) and in terms of value (-3.2% y/y).53 . For 2026, the downward trend observed in recent years is expected to continue, both in terms of volumes and revenue.

4. Group Corporate structure, Corporate Governance and organisational structure
Within the parcel segment , the overall market has grown by approximately 4% in 2025, confirming the positive trend already observed in 2024 (+3.8% y/y)54. Growth in the segment in 2025 is driven by the B2C segment, which is being propelled by the increase in online sales and the proliferation of marketplaces55, thereby confirming the role of the online channel as the main driver in the sector. In 2025, e-commerce generated €40 billion worth of online purchas -
es, up 6% compared to the previous year; €43 billion is estimated for 202656.
Among the trends that have driven the continued development of the parcel market in recent years are the following:
yconsumers’ need for greater flexibility on delivery times and locations, which has led to an increase in demand for “Out of Home” deliveries57 (in 2024, related volumes grew 10-fold compared to 2019, and an increase of more than 25% is forecast for 202558), supported by the expansion of proximity networks;
ythe rapid development of the online second-hand market (the economic value generated by the online buying and selling of second-hand goods was €14.7 billion in 2025, an increase of about 170% compared to 201459), thanks to the advent of specialised online platforms and the change in consumer preferences (the pursuit of savings and greater awareness of
sustainability-related issues);
yincreased demand for flexible and personalised delivery services, which has prompted couriers in the sector to focus more on and compete more intensely in last-mile delivery ;
yincreasing use of artificial intelligence (AI) to improve online shopping : in fact, AI is being used to make “e-commerce B2C” shopping more effective, personalising product selection, automating customer service, improving catalogue quality and management, enhancing marketing campaigns, and reducing shopping cart abandonment along the entire online purchase path.
In response to these trends, and to support profit margins, the sector’s main players are investing increasingly in logistics innovation and optimisation, focusing on the automation of sorting processes, the optimisation of transport and route man -
agement, and advanced tracking.
For 2026, the sector growth is expected to stabilise at the levels seen over the past two years; however, this trend may be partially affected by the application of duties and levies on shipments from non-EU countries with a declared value of less than €150, as established by the European Union60.
The logistics market in Italy is seeing steady growth in the outsourcing of logistics services by industrial and commercial operators to specialised entities capable of covering the entire value chain.
The market for Integrated Logistics Services in 2024 will be worth around €14.1 billion61, up 1.1% y/y.
For 2025, the level of growth is estimated to increase (about +2%) compared to 202462 while, in 2026, a slight acceleration in growth is expected. The market, although very competitive, is relatively fragmented. Vertical integration policies continue and the number of extraordinary operations carried out by companies to create synergies between the different stages of the supply chain increases. There is increasing investment in the green transition, to best reconcile environmental and economic sustainability. Finally, an increasing use of artificial intelligence in logistics processes is confirmed, not only for warehouse or transport-related activities, but in particular for order management, demand forecasting and material reordering.

In online commerce, a marketplace is a digital platform, accessible via a website or an app, that brings together sellers and buyers, enabling them to conduct transactions within a shared virtual space. It therefore takes the form of an online marketplace where multiple sellers operate, each offering their own products or services, while the platform operator provides the technical infrastructure and sales tools.

The 2026 Budget Law introduces a charge of €2 for each shipment of goods from non-EU countries with a value not exceeding €150: as stipulated in Article 29, paragraph 1-bis of the 2026 Budget Law, this is a “charge to cover the administrative costs associated with customs formalities” that Customs Offices will levy upon the final import of the goods; the application of the contribution has been further postponed to 1 October 2026 (the date of 1 January 2026 initially foreseen by the 2026 Budget Bill had already been extended to 1 July).

mentioned law also introduced the following regulatory chang -
es for the postal sector:
ythe duration of the new Service Contract for the provision of the Universal Postal Service is set at five years, effective from 1 May 2026 to 31 December 2031;
ywith effect from 1 May 2026, priority mail is excluded from the Universal Postal Service;
ya new delivery target of “by the fifth day following the day of forwarding in the postal network” was set for all universal services, instead of the previous target of “by the fourth day”, according to average objectives that will be defined
by AGCom;
ythe possibility was introduced for Poste Italiane to use points operated by third parties for the provision of the Universal Postal Service, under its own responsibility;
ya number of principles have been identified for the defini -
tion of the criteria for the ubiquity of the Post Office net -
work and setting boxes by the Regulatory Authority;
ythe compensation fund at the expense of the providers of postal services replacing the Universal Service, as a means of financing the charge, was repealed, with effect on pro -
ceedings pending at the date of publication of the Law63;
ypenalties for violating Universal Service obligations were increased, raising the minimum and maximum fines (mini -
mum €15,000, maximum €500,000).
On 29 April 2026, the new Service Contract was signed by the Minister of Enterprise and Made in Italy and countersigned by Poste Italiane; this contract, which entered into force on 1 May 2026, was sent to the European Commission for checks on its compatibility with State aid regulations.
ÌThe quality of the Universal Postal Service With Resolution 79/26/CONS of 30 April 2026, the AGCom initiated the proceeding - and the related public consultation - to define the new quality objectives for universal postal items pursuant to Article 3, paragraph 6-bis of Legislative Decree no.

In the first half of 2026, the Mail, Parcels and Distribution Strategic Business Unit (SBU) continued on the path of transforming the Group into a complete logistics operator, according to the objectives outlined in the Strategic Plan.
The following table shows the main activities of the SBU during the period.
SEGMENT IMPLEMENTED AND ONGOING ACTIVITIES
PARCELS/LOGISTICSOn 1 May 2026, the new Service Contract for the provision of the Universal Postal Service , signed on 29 April 2026 by the Minister of Enterprise and Made in Italy and coun -
tersigned by Poste Italiane, entered into force64.
With regard to the PosteGoFresh service65, the first few months of 2026 confirmed the consolidation of growth in orders for the Fresh service66, as well as for the Grocery business segment67. To date, the PosteGoFresh service has been extended to over 40 cities.
In February 2026, on the occasion of the Milan-Cortina Winter Olympics, a new range of limited-edition envelopes and boxes made from 100% recycled paper and card -
board , featuring dedicated artwork, was sold at the mobile Post Office within the Cortina Olympic Village, as well as at 4,000 selected Post Offices throughout the country. For fur -
ther details, please refer to the Report on Operations in the 2025 Annual Report (Section 8.2, “Environmental information”).
In June 2026, the new range of 100% recycled and recyclable cardboard envelopes and boxes was put on sale, which will gradually replace the range dedicated to Milano Cortina.
From the end of March 2026, with the aim of ensuring a consistent and uniform offering across all sales channels, it will be possible to manage Extra-Large shipments on the Poste Italiane app, a service already available online via Poste Delivery Web.

SEGMENT IMPLEMENTED AND ONGOING ACTIVITIES
PARCELS/LOGISTICSAt the end of February 2026, shipments of goods to the United States via the Poste Delivery Globe and Poste Delivery International Standard services were reactivated at all Post Offices68.
In June 2026, the Reverse International Plus service was launched, the international return solution designed for e-commerce businesses that want to offer a simple, traceable and efficient after-sales experience. The service allows the merchant to print the return waybill and send it to their foreign e-shopper, ensuring end-to-end visibility and helping to improve customer satisfaction, while maintaining the standards of the Poste Delivery Business International Plus service. The sender (e-shopper) can make the return in a flexible manner in the country of origin (about 20 countries) by going to one of the PUDO points in the foreign partner’s network.
The Micro-fulfillment project aims to meet the growing demand for same-day69 and zero-emission delivery solutions through the construction of micro-fulfilment logistics plat -
forms within the main hubs of the postal network, located close to large population cen -
tres70. The distinctive element of the project is the prevalent use of electric vehicles for deliveries, guaranteeing a 100% green service.
In February 2026, in addition to the existing warehouse71, a new, larger warehouse was opened in Naples , expanding the service offering compared to the current one, with a capacity of approximately 80,000 item types, thereby replacing the previous, smaller pilot site72. Additional micro-fulfilment centres are being established in major cities in central and southern Italy, with the aim of expanding the service from the second half of 2026.
In the area of integrated logistics , the first quarter was characterised by the expansion of the logistics infrastructure with the opening of the new warehouse in Chiari (BS)73 in January 2026.
During the first quarter, work continued on the integrated logistics activities for the Milan-
Cortina 2026 Olympic and Paralympic Games , which began on 6 February74, as well as on the evaluation of local-to-local logistics models75 to support the leading international e-commerce platforms, based on the storage of goods at national warehouses and domes -
tic distribution via the Group’s logistics network.
In April 2026, a strategic partnership agreement was signed between Poste Italiane and Benetton Group , aimed at establishing a new reference player in fashion logistics with the goal of attracting new customers and supporting the development of the Contract Logistics business. The core element of the operation is the enhancement of the Castrette di Villorba (Treviso) logistics hub, which is one of the main European hubs in the fashion sector. The site, with a total area of approximately 400,000 square metres (of which over 100,000 are equipped with advanced automated systems), is currently capable of handling volumes of up to 30 million garments. The highly innovative logistics site is equipped with robotic sys -
tems for the optimisation of storage and picking activities.
68. Due to the new customs regulations for goods shipments to the USA, as of 23 August 2025, Poste Italiane had suspended the acceptance of all shipments containing goods destined for the USA, while shipments of correspondence not containing goods, as well as those sent by Poste Italiane to the USA via the “Poste Delivery International Express” service, continued to be accepted.
69. Orders delivered in accordance with the same-day delivery commitments (1:00 pm and 8:00 pm).
70. Orders are delivered within the day, thanks to a network of postmen operating in the afternoon. The merchant’s web platform locates the ordered item and assigns the order to the microfulfilment centre of Poste Italiane, where it is then picked, packed and finally delivered to the customer. The warehouses will store the goods of the shipping customers and manage the entire process from order receipt to preparation of the shipment and same-day delivery.
71. The warehouse at the Palermo site has been operational since February 2025.
72. The first pilot site was launched in the city of Naples in June 2024.
73. The warehouse covers approximately 70,000 square metres and boasts state-of-the-art features, including LEED Gold certification, which attests to its high sustainability standards.
74. As Premium Logistics Partner, and through its subsidiary Poste Logistics, Poste Italiane has developed an integrated logistics system designed to meet the needs of this highly complex event, managing the transport and logistics of all the goods, equipment and materials required for the success of the event. Specifically: 33,000 square meters of strategic warehouses, over 900 staff dedicated to operational activities, and a fleet of 270 transport vehicles to ensure the timely and safe movement of equipment, materials and supplies to all Olympic and Paralympic venues.
75. These models are based on the storage of goods in the country of destination and distribution via the domestic network, as an alternative to cross-border distribution. This approach enables both faster delivery times and the integration of fulfilment and last-mile activities.

Financial markets
During the first months of 2026, the financial markets were influenced by multiple macroeconomic and geopolitical factors, recording a general increase in volatility, albeit with different dynamics across geographic areas. Despite the persistence of geopolitical tensions, international equity markets showed an overall positive trend in the first half of 2026, albeit with periods of high volatility linked to the evolution of the conflict in Iran, interest rate expectations and inflation dynamics.
In detail, the improvement in profit outlook and the strengthening of investor confidence favoured a recovery in prices, and in the first half of 2026, the S&P 500 index grew by 8.75%76 and the Nasdaq by 11.93%, driven mainly by technology stocks and semiconductor manufacturers. Euro Area stock markets benefited from the substantial resilience of the economic envi -
ronment and expectations of increased public and private investment in a number of strategic sectors, including infrastructure, defence, energy transition and technological innovation. In the first half of 2026, equity indices showed a favourable trend, with the Stoxx Europe 600 and the Euro Stoxx 50 showing an upward trend during the half-year, quickly recovering from the corrections recorded in the spring months and reaching new all-time highs in mid-June, closing the half-year at +8.26% and +9.18% respectively, supported by the reduction in geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, the consequent fall in energy prices and an improvement in investor sentiment.
The Italian FTSE MIB index outperformed the main European markets, supported by the good performance of the financial, industrial and energy sectors, which represent a significant share of the index, closing the first half of 2026 with a growth of +14.99%, compared to the German DAX (+2.06%) and the French CAC40 (+2.89%).
In the bond market , long-term government yields exhibited significant volatility in the first half. After rising at the start of the year, ten-year yields fell in February, driven by flight-to-quality77 flows linked to increased risk aversion in equity markets, par -
ticularly due to uncertainties regarding the outlook for key sectors such as AI and SaaS (Software as a Service) companies.
Subsequently, the outbreak of the conflict with Iran changed the picture: rising energy prices and the resurgence of inflation fears increased uncertainty about the path of interest rates, leading to a rise in yields, which partially reversed towards the end of the half-year following the peace agreement reached in June between the US and Iran.
In the Euro Area , during the first half of 2026, government bond yields showed an overall upward trend. Investors’ attention focused mainly on the evolution of the monetary policy of the European Central Bank, which maintained an approach aimed at containing inflationary pressures. In this context, the yield curve of Euro Area government bonds recorded a gradual rise, reflecting expectations that interest rates would remain at high levels for a longer period than assumed at the beginning of the year. The yield spread between Italian and German government bonds remained at levels compatible with a broadly stable perception of sovereign risk. Specifically, during the first half of 2026, the yield on 10-year Bund, although volatile, remained substantially at the level of the end of December 2025, at 2.85%, while the yield on 10-year BTP increased by 8 basis points to 3.63%. The BTP-Bund spread on 10-year maturities fell sharply to 60 basis points in the first months of 2026, to its lowest level since August 2008, before widening following the conflict in Iran to over 90 basis points and closing the half-year at 77 basis points (from 70 at the end of December).

Below is the table that represents the precise returns expressed in basis points at the end of the period for BTP government bonds and Interest Rate Swaps and the trend in the 10-year BTP-SWAP spread:

However, the escalation of the Iran conflict has led to increased uncertainty, pushing up energy prices and rekindling inflationary concerns. This worsening geopolitical scenario led investors to demand a higher risk premium, resulting in a wide -
spread widening of credit spreads, which was subsequently reabsorbed thanks to a progressively more relaxed geopolitical scenario. The asset class performed positively in the half-year, although it was partly held back by risk-free rates remaining at higher levels than at the beginning of the period.
Banking system
Based on available estimates provided by the Italian Banking Association (ABI)78, at the end of May 2026, customer deposits of all banks in Italy, represented by deposits from resident customers (current accounts, certificates of deposit and repurchase agreements) and bonds, increased by 2.6% y/y, continuing the positive trend recorded in the past year. This trend reflected a 12-month increase in deposits from resident customers, equal to approximately €42 billion (+2.3% y/y) and an increase of approximately €13 billion in bond deposits (+5.0% y/y).
In May 2026, the average cost of bank funding (which includes the return on deposits, bonds and repos from households and non-financial companies) was around 0.91% (0.95% in May 2025).
Asset Management
Assogestioni data show, at 31 May 202679 total assets of €2,667 billion, up 1.2% on the €2,636 billion at the end of 2025. With regard to portfolio management, assets amounted to approximately €1,213 billion, slightly down (-0.2%) from €1,215 billion at 31 December 2025.
With regard to Collective asset management, assets went from about €1,421 billion at the end of December 2025 to about €1,454 billion at the end of May 2026 (+2.4%). With regard to open-ended mutual investment funds alone, client assets stood at around €1,375 billion at the end of May 2026, up 2.3% from roughly €1,344 billion at the end of December 2025.
In terms of net inflows, the asset management industry presents a slightly negative balance of around -€0.4 billion in May 2026 (compared to a positive balance of around €10.0 billion in the same period of 2025).

In the first quarter of 2026, the market in the Investment and Pension business recorded positive net inflows of €1.7 billion, an improvement of €1.4 billion compared to the same period in 2025, when they amounted to €0.3 billion. This result is mainly attrib -
utable to the reduction in outflows (-5.2% y/y), due to the decrease in lapses in classes I and III, against a more contained decline in premiums (-1.2% y/y), concentrated mainly in class I.
In the first quarter of 2026, the Protection insurance market continued on a path of robust growth in terms of premium inflows, recording, in the first three months of 2026, €8.3 billion in premiums for non-motor P&C business (+3.3% y/y), and €5.4 billion in premiums for motor business (+4.6% y/y), due not only to the positive trend in demand for Motor business, but also to an increase in rates as a result of the high inflation of recent years. In addition, premiums from the Protection segment of the life insurance business recorded gross inflows of €0.9 billion (+5.3% y/y).

** Premiums refer to Italian and non-EU undertakings and EU undertakings.
The overall growth in the protection segment of €0.6 billion is mainly attributable to the development of the non-motor protec -
tion segment (+€0.3 billion compared to the first quarter of 2025), as well as that of the motor protection segment (+€0.2 billion compared to the first quarter of 2025). With regard to the first, the lines of business with the greatest weight in terms of premi -
um revenue, which showed a positive change during the period, were: accident insurance, with premiums of €1,177 million, up 4.1% y/y; health insurance, with premiums of €1,751 million, up 11.4% y/y; the general liability line of business, with premiums of €1,540 million, a slight decrease of 1.0% y/y; the other property damage line of business, with premiums of €1,119 million, up 1.1% y/y; and the fire and natural forces line of business, with premiums of €1,147 million, up 7.1% y/y for the period.

tified as being a participating company on 31 December of the year preceding that in which the payment is to be made.
A liability is therefore recognised on that date, which can be classified as a payable if the amount can be adequately determined, while the related cost is recognised in full in the statement of profit or loss when the event giving rise to the obligation occurs (31 December). 0.8%

Operating review
The following table shows the main activities of the Insurance Services Strategic Business Unit during the period.
SEGMENT OPERATING REVIEW
INVESTMENT
AND PENSIONThe third edition of the Poste Progetto Obbligazionario multi-class insurance policy began in January 2026. It has the same characteristics as the previous one: a single pre -
mium with a term of 15 years, which, for the first 6 years, envisages the investment of the premium in a unit-linked fund and, for the following 9 years or so, the annual revalua -
tion of the invested capital based on the result achieved by the two Separately Managed Accounts (Posta ValorePiù and Poste Vita Valore Solidità). In March, the fourth edition of the aforementioned policy was launched, with the same characteristics.
In February 2026, the new multi-class policy called Poste Formula Bonus was launched, aimed exclusively at customers who contribute new liquidity; the product combines a Class I policy (Poste Vita Valore Solidità) with profit sharing and a unit-linked policy (Poste Vita Obiettivo Crescita) with a term of 15 years, and a bonus is paid upon purchase based on the premium paid. In June 2026, this policy was reopened for placement.
In April 2026, the new Class I policy was launched, called Poste Valore Bonus Tuo with a single premium, entirely dedicated to customers who bring in new liquidity; the product provides for the annual revaluation of the invested capital based on the result achieved by the Separately Managed Account Poste Vita Valore Solidità, with a duration of 15 years, and a Bonus is paid upon subscription, depending on the premium paid.
PROTECTIONAs of 9 February 2026, certain Post Offices may sell specific coverage options from the Patrimonio Line, which is part of the broader Poste Vivere Protetti protection product, through authorised Front End Operators.
For the Credit Protection (CPI) segment, as of March 2026, the age at which coverage matures has been increased in order to protect customers with loans from events that could jeopardise their repayment.
As of 27 April 2026, a promotional campaign was launched that guarantees a 100% dis -
count on the “Prevention” guarantee within the “Personal assistance and prevention” mod -
ule of Poste Vivere Protetti.

pared to the first quarter of 2025 and confirming the continued expansion of digital payments in Italy. The number of transactions grew by 13.6% over the first quarter of 2025 to 3.1 billion, a sign of an increasingly consolidated daily use of cards, also thanks to more widespread use of digital payments by merchants (e-commerce and contactless payments). Debit card transac -
tions grew by 15.1% compared to the first quarter of 2025, confirming their position as the most used by Italians, accounting for 63% of total transactions and amounting to €74.3 billion (+9.7% year-on-year) with an average transaction value of approximately €38.1, down €1.9 (-4.7%) compared to the same quarter of 2025 (€40). The use of credit cards is increasing, especially for larger payments, with transactions and turnover up by 9% and 5.6% respectively compared to the first quarter of 2025. Prepaid cards also recorded a positive performance (+12.8% of transactions and +6.7% of transactions compared to the same period in 2025), thanks to the continued development of e-commerce and increased penetration at physical points.
In December 2025107, the number of active cards on the market stood at 101 million, up 2.5% compared to December 2024:
the number of debit cards increased sharply (+4.6% compared to December 2024), reaching a total of 53.7 million active cards, while the number of credit cards grew more modestly (+0.1% compared to December 2024), reaching 13.9 million active cards. The stock of prepaid cards increased slightly to 33.7 million units (+0.1% compared to December 2024).
The mobile market108 with a stock of 78.9 million Human-to-Human (H2H) SIM109 at March 2026, shows an increase of 0.1% compared to the end of 2025 (78.9 million of H2H SIM). In particular, the growth in the number of SIM cards from virtual operators (Mobile Virtual Network Operators - MVNO) continues (+2% compared to 31 December 2025), while the stock of traditional operators decreased (-0.3% compared to the end of 2025). Poste Mobile, which accounts for 43% of MVNO, recorded slight growth in the same period (+1.1% of H2H SIM compared to December 2025) with a market share slightly up 5.6% in March 2026.
During the first half of 2026, the energy market suffered a severe setback in March as a result of the US and Israeli attack on Iran, which began on 28 February 2026. The Strait of Hormuz, through which about 20% of the world’s liquefied natural gas (LNG) passed, was blocked until well into mid-June. In addition, in March a number of energy fields and facilities were bombed, including gas liquefaction plants in Qatar, which stated that 17% of these plants are out of service and will remain so for a long time.
These events led to a rise in gas prices on the global market, given the current interconnection and interdependence of the var -
ious international hubs. The gas price on the European Title Transfer Facility (TTF) hub stood at €30/MWh in February, peaking at over €60/MWh in March to then oscillate between around €40 and 50/MWh in the following months.
The sharp increase in gas price volatility and levels was also reflected in the electricity market, albeit to a lesser extent.
In June, the United States and Iran announced that they had reached an agreement for a 60-day negotiating truce during which they would seek a final agreement on the various outstanding issues. Therefore, the energy market reacted with a grad -
ual fall in prices, which nevertheless remain above the pre-attack on Iran scenario.
The scenario remains uncertain and price volatility is significant, based on the developments in the ongoing negotiations and the gradual reopening of the Strait of Hormuz.

On 29 April 2026, the AGCOM published Resolution no.
21/26/CIR updating the PNN111 in the telecommunications sector and the related implementing regulations, at the con -
clusion of the public consultation to which PostePay sent a response on 9 February 2026.
The measure aims to strengthen transparency in communi -
cations for the benefit of end users and to combat the phe -
nomena of fraudulent alteration of the caller’s identification (Calling Line Identification112 - CLI - spoofing113) and aggres -
sive commercial contact practices, both by strengthening the obligations to verify and block communications with identifi -ers that are not consistent with the numbers assigned to the line and the end user, and by expanding the numbers that can be used as caller identifiers for call and messaging ser -
vices, also providing for the use of numbers for services that are free of charge to the caller, such as numbers for emer -
gency services, public utility services, harmonised European services with a social value, customer care services, services charged to the called party, as well as numbers for SMS/ MMS services and data transmission.
The Authority has also set up a Technical Committee to define the implementation modalities of the measures intro -
duced and to examine further issues, with particular attention to the numbers to be allocated to teleselling and telemarket -
ing services. PostePay is evaluating the resulting impacts in light of the outcomes of the Committee’s work.

drawal, in line with the requirements of Legislative Decree 3/2026, establishing the obligation for sellers to bring their pre-contractual and contractual documentation into compli -
ance by 31 July 2026.

5. Risk management The Poste Italiane’s Internal Control and Risk Management System (SCIGR) is a combination of tools, procedures, rules and organisational structures, designed to ensure that the business is managed in a way that is sound, fair and consistent with the corporate objectives, and to pursue sustainable success, through an adequate definitions of players, duties and responsibilities of the various corporate bodies and control functions as well as through the identification, measurement, management and mon -
itoring of the main risks, and through the structuring of adequate reporting lines to expedite the flow of information.
This system is a fundamental element of Poste Italiane’s corporate governance system, as it enables the Board of Directors to guide the Company in its pursuit of long-term value creation, defining the nature and level of risk compatible with its strategic objectives, and including in its assessments all elements that may be relevant to sustainable success.
In line with statutory requirements and the related best practices, the SCIGR consists of three levels of control and involves a range of actors within the organisation. The first-level control units identify, assess, manage, and monitor those risks for which they are responsible, and in respect of which they identify and implement specific actions aimed at ensuring operational compliance.
The second-level control units, whose role consists primarily of defining risk management models and carrying out monitoring activities, play a key role in the integration and overall functioning of the Internal Control and Risk Management System. The third-level controls, managed at Poste Italiane by the Internal Auditing function, provide independent assurance on the adequacy and effective operation of the first and second levels of control and, in general, on the SCIGR.
The Internal Auditing function, in accordance with internal provisions, international professional standards and the Group’s Audit Guidelines, performs third-level audits on the Poste Italiane Group’s significant processes in order to express an opinion on the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of the internal control system, as well as on the Company’s ability to contain the risks that threaten the achievement of corporate objectives and the pursuit of sustainable success. These activities are governed by Poste Italiane Internal Control and Risk Management System (SCIGR) Guidelines, in accordance with the guidelines of the Corporate Governance Code of Borsa Italiana and with the Corporate Governance Code.
The Poste Italiane SpA 2026 Audit Plan, approved by the Board of Directors on 17 March 2026, provides a representation of the key references followed in defining the strategic position of the Internal Auditing function, describing the methodological approach and the role played in the implementation of audit activities from a “risk-based” perspective, in line with corporate objectives.
Furthermore, at its meeting of 17 March 2026, the Board of Directors approved the 2025 SCIGR Assessment Report, which certifies that, at the date of the report and for the reporting period, the internal control and risk management system, taken as a whole, is adequate to mitigate the risks that threaten the successful pursuit of the Company’s objectives.
The Poste Italiane Group ensures that the conduct of the business is consistent with the objectives defined by the Board of Directors, taking into account the risks that may affect the achievement of those objectives.

5. Risk management
RISK CATEGORY DESCRIPTION
SpreadRisk attributable to possible declines in the prices of bonds held in the portfolio, due to the deterioration of the market assessment of the issuer’s credit quality. This phenomenon is attributable to the increase in the gap (the so-called spread) between sovereign debt yields and the consequent impact of this increase on the fair value of Euro-government and corporate bonds, where the spread reflects the market’s perception of the creditworthiness of the issuing institutions. In the Poste Italiane Group’s case, this risk particularly relates to the spread on Italian government securities, which influences the fair value of the Group’s hold -
ings of Italian government securities. The total notional value of these securities at 30 June 2026 amounts to €130 billion (€217 billion in terms of total bonds). With regard to the evolution of relevant risks, the first half of 2026 was characterised by a slight increase in Italian government bond yields (10-year BTP 3.63% at 30 June 2026, +8 bps since the beginning of the year) and by the increase in the 10-year BTP-Bund spread (77 bps at 30 June 2026, +7 bps since the beginning of the year).
The trend in Italian government bond yields and risk-free rates have jointly determined a significant decrease in latent valuation gains123.
The spread decrease has a positive effect on the Poste Vita Group’s Solvency II Ratio. The Solvency Ratio at 30 June 2026 was 303%124, in line with 303% at 31 December 2025. In August 2019, the Company was authorised by IVASS to use Transitional Measures on technical provisions, however this measure is zero at 30 June 2026.
The Poste Vita Group’s capital strengthening actions include the following transactions on own funds:
yon 26 July 2021, Poste Vita issued €300 million of Restricted Tier 1 capital instruments, subordinated and non-convertible, with indefinite maturity, fully allocated to Poste Italiane;
yon 3 August 2022, Poste Vita further increased its Restricted Tier 1 capital endowment through the issue of subordinated and non-convertible capital instruments with indefinite maturity, also fully allocated to Poste Italiane, for an amount of €500 million;
yon 15 November 2023, upon the expiry of the commitment letter signed on 15 November 2018, Poste Vita renewed a new commitment with Poste Italiane for the same amount of €1,750 million, classifying it as an element of Tier 2 ancillary own funds (Tier 2 AOF), following the authorisation measure by the
Authority;
yon 20 October 2025, Poste Vita completed the early repayment, in a lump sum, of the perpetual subor -
dinated loan counted in Tier 2 own funds for an amount of €250 million, issued on 18 April 2008 and fully subscribed by Poste Italiane. The early repayment was made following the receipt of clearance from the Authority and took place in line with the expiry of the grandfathering regime.
At 30 June 2026, based on the above, in accordance with the Solvency II Directive and the regulatory framework of reference for insurance, the issues of subordinated securities eligible to cover the Capital Requirement are composed of the value of Tier 1 subordinated securities for an amount of approximately €770 million and Tier 2 elements (Poste Vita and Net Insurance) for an amount of approximately €1,750 million.
With reference to the dividend policy, in the first half of 2026, Poste Vita distributed to the parent compa -
ny €500 million of retained earnings from previous years, in addition to the distribution of 2025 profits, as resolved by the Shareholders’ Meeting. The Poste Vita Group’s Solvency Ratio at 30 June 2026 includes the impact (-13 p.p.) of the foreseeable dividend payment for the period.
PriceRisk of fluctuation in the value of a financial instrument due to changes in market prices, whether the chang -
es arise from specific factors relating to the individual instrument or its issuer, or from systemic factors that influence all instruments traded on the market.
123. The positions of Poste Italiane exposed to the risk in question mainly regard Financial Assets at fair value through other comprehensive income with a fair value at 30 June 2026 of €38 billion. Fixed income instruments measured at amortised cost relating entirely to BancoPosta RFC amounted to €32 billion at 30 June 2026 (with a fair value of €31 billion).
On the other hand, with reference to the Poste Vita Group (including the Net Insurance companies), the portfolio exposed to the risk in question consisted mainly of financial assets recognised in other comprehensive income.
124. The issue is under review and will be submitted to IVASS on 15 September 2026.

RISK CATEGORY DESCRIPTION
CreditRisk of default by counterparties with whom active positions exist, with the exception of investments in shares and mutual fund units. In relation to revenue and receivables due from the state and from central and local government bodies, regulated by statute and specific agreements or contracts, prompt and full payment of the amounts due is dependent on availability of the necessary funds in the state budget or in the budgets of the related Public Administration entities.
LiquidityThis is the risk that the Poste Italiane Group is unable to meet its obligations deriving from financial instru -
ments due to its inability to raise sufficient funds (funding liquidity risk) or to sell assets in the market (market liquidity risk) effectively or at market conditions.
The Poste Italiane Group applies a financial policy based on diversification of the various forms of short-
term and long-term loans and counterparties, the availability of significant committed and uncommitted lines of credit in terms of amounts and the number of banks, the gradual and consistent distribution of the maturities of medium/long-term loans and the use of dedicated analytical models to monitor the maturities of assets and liabilities. In this regard, further details are provided in the section of this Report entitled “Group Financial position and cash flow”.
Fair value
interest rateThis is the risk that the value of a financial instrument fluctuates as a result of movements in market interest rates. It mainly concerns the effects of changes in market rates on the price of fixed-rate financial instru -
ments or those converted to a fixed rate through cash flow hedges and, on a residual basis, the effects of changes in market rates on the fixed component (spread on the rate parameter) of variable-rate financial instruments or those converted to a variable-rate through fair value hedges. The impact of these risks is directly related to the financial instrument’s duration.
Cash flow
interest rateThis is defined as the uncertainty related to the generation of future cash flows, due to fluctuations in market interest rates. Such risk may arise from the mismatch - in terms of interest rate, interest rate resets and maturities - of financial assets and liabilities until their contractual maturity and/or expected maturity (bank -
ing book), with effects in terms of interest spreads and, as such, an impact on future results.
Cash flow
inflationThis is defined as the uncertainty related to future cash flows due to changes in the rate of inflation observed in the market.
CurrencyThis is the risk that the value of a financial instrument fluctuates as a result of movements in exchange rates for currencies other than the functional currency. This risk primarily regards trade receivables and payables due from and to overseas counterparties, investments in equity instruments and holdings in certain funds.
The Poste Italiane Group is also subject to translation currency risk, which is the exchange rate risk associ -
ated with the conversion into euro of items relating to investments in companies whose functional currency is not the euro.
For a complete discussion of the management of financial and other risks, please refer to the chapter “Risk Management at Poste Italiane” in the Report on Operations section and the chapter “Risk Management” in the section Poste Italiane’s Financial Statements of the 2025 Annual Report.

Specifically, revenue amounted to €6.8 billion126 with a 5.9% growth compared to the same half-year in 2025. The adjusted operating profit for the first half of 2026 shows growth of 6.8% compared to the same half of 2025, reach -
ing €1,772 million; the consolidated net profit for the period stood at €1,211 million (+3.5% y/y) excluding the contribution of the equity measurement of the investment in TIM. Consolidated net profit, including the TIM contribution127, is equal to €1,355 million (+15.9% y/y).
In line with the past, in order to provide a more consistent interpretation of the energy business from the management’s perspective and given that the Group is not an energy producer, a net revenue presentation has been adopted. Consequently, some values shown below reflect a management reclassification with respect to the accounting data: specifically, revenue is shown net of costs related to the purchase of raw materials, system charges and the trans -
port of electricity and gas. For the reconciliation of management figures with accounting val -
ues, please refer to the reclassified statement of profit or loss tables reported in section 8.2 “Alternative performance indicators”.

TOTAL COSTS
(€m)
In accordance with IFRS 17, the costs incurred by the Group and directly attributable to insurance policies, from the time of their placement and until their settlement, are considered within insurance liabilities and released periodically in the statement of profit or loss (among insurance net revenue). For the purpose of understanding the trends presented below, the total value of costs incurred by the Group is shown, also considering those attributable to insurance contracts.
In accordance with IFRS 17, total costs for the first half of 2026 amounted to €5,069 million, up from €4,837 million in the first half of 2025 (+€232 million, +4.8%). Net of the effects of the application of IFRS 17, total costs amounted to €5,529 million, up from €5,309 million in the first half of 2025 (+€220 million, +4.1%), mainly due to the increase in costs of goods and services, personnel expenses and depreciation, amortisation and impairments, only partially offset by the decrease in other costs.
Total personnel expenses amounted to €2,628 million, an increase of €64 million (+2.5%) compared to the first half of 2025 (€2,565 million). Net of the effects of the application of IFRS 17, they amounted to €2,904 million, an increase of €39 million (+1.4%) compared to the first half of 2025 (€2,865 million).
Costs of goods and services increased by €165 million (+9.8%), from €1,681 million in the first half of 2025 to €1,846 million in the same period of 2026. Net of the effects of the application of IFRS 17, costs of goods and services increased by €184 million (+10.2%), from €1,804 million in the first half of 2025 to €1,987 million in the same period of 2026.

6. Creation of value
Depreciation, amortisation, and impairment costs increased by €58 million (+13.1%), from €447 million in the first half of 2025 to €505 million in the first half of 2026. Net of the application of IFRS 17, they amount to €542 million, an increase of €56 million (+11.6%) compared to the first half of 2025.
Other operating costs decreased by €55 million (-38.3%), from €144 million in the first half of 2025 to €89 million in the same period of 2026. Net of the effects of the application of IFRS 17, they amount to €96 million, a decrease of €59 million (-38.1%) compared to the first half of 2025. The change is mainly attributable to the adjusted component recognised in the first half of 2025 (amounting to €38 million) and relating to the charge for the contribution to the Life Guarantee Fund for the period129.
PERSONNEL EXPENSES
(€m)
Total personnel expenses stand at €2,628 million and record an increase of €64 million (+2.5%) compared to the first half of 2025 (€2,565 million).
Ordinary personnel expenses, net of the effect generated by the application of IFRS 17, increased by €25 million (+0.9%), from €2,858 million in the first half of 2025 to €2,882 million in the first half of 2026. This change is attributable to the increase in unit cost (+€27 million), mainly related to the increases provided for in the national collective labour agreement signed on 23 July 2024 and in the performance-related bonus agreement signed on 8 July 2025, partially offset by the reduction in the average headcount (-€2 million).

Net of the effects of the application of IFRS 17, costs for goods and services increased by €184 million, from €1,804 million in the first half of 2025 to €1,987 million in the first half of 2026.

Depreciation, amortisation and impairments, net of the effects of the application of IFRS 17, amounted to €542 million, an increase of €56 million compared to the first half of 2025; this increase is mainly attributable to higher amortisation on intangible assets related to investments in software applications incurred by the Parent Company and which became available for use during 2026 and depreciation on Property, plant and equipment.

EXTERNAL REVENUE AND REVENUE FROM OTHER SECTORS
(€m)
The external revenue of the Strategic Business Unit increased from €1,909 million in the first half of 2025 to €2,031 million in the same period of 2026 (+€122 million, or +6.4%). This increase is mainly attributable to the positive performance of the parcels and logistics sector (+€105 million, equal to +13.1%), supported by the constant acceleration of the Business to Consumer/ Business (B2X) component, in terms of volumes and revenue. In the first half of 2026, the mail segment recorded a decline in revenue (-€28 million, -2.7%), attributable to the natural drop in shipments and the gradual adoption of the Notification Platform by Public Administrations.
External revenue of the Strategic Business Unit for the second quarter of 2026 amounted to €1,028 million and grew by €68 million (+7%) compared to the same period in 2025 driven by the performance of the parcels and logistics business unit, which recorded revenue growth of €46 million (+11.2%).
Revenue from other sectors increased from €2,851 million in the first half of 2025 to €2,939 million in the first half of 2026 (+3.1%), due to the positive performance of commercial activity.Other revenue Parcels and Logistics

Unrecorded Mail : standard mail service with mailbox delivery.
Recorded Mail : delivery to the person with proof of delivery and tracking for retail and business customers. This cate -
gory includes in particular: registered mail, insured mail and judicial acts.
Direct Marketing : service for the sending by companies and Public Administration entities of communications with advertising, promotional or informative content.
Integrated Services : integrated and customised offers for specific customer segments, in particular Public Administration, large companies and professional firms. The most relevant integrated service is the Integrated Notification Service, for the management of the entire process of notification of administrative and judicial acts (e.g. violations of the Highway Code).
Other : services for publishers, multi-channel services, printing, document management, other basic services. This item also includes tariff subsidies relating to external revenue earned on products and services discounted in accordance with the law and the Universal Postal Service Compensation (also includes compensation relating to ordinary parcels).
The performance of the Mail services recorded by the Group in the first half of 2026 shows a drop in volumes of 7.2% (-71 million items), with decline in revenue of 2.7% (-€28 million) compared to the same period of 2025. This trend is attributable to a different product mix related to a decline in volumes concentrated mainly on lower value-added products, as well as repricing actions on some products not belonging to the Universal Service as well as to the effect of the tariff manoeuvre effective from 31 March 2025.
In the first half of 2026, Recorded Mail showed a 4.4% drop in volumes (-3 million items) with a 1.5% decrease in revenue (-€5 million).Recorded mail

Poste Italiane Group
Compared to the first half of 2025, unrecorded mail showed a reduction in both volumes (-30 million items, equal to -6.4%) and revenue (-€18 million, equal to -6.9%) linked to the physiological decline in shipments.
Integrated Services saw a decline in revenue (-€9 million, or -6.2%), despite volumes showing a slight increase compared to the first half of 2025 (+2 million shipments, or +8.6%), primarily due to extraordinary items that affected the same period of 2025.
Direct Marketing saw a 27.1% decrease in volumes (-18 million shipments), in line with the decrease in revenue (-€3 million, or -11.7%), attributable to e-substitution.
The item Other, which also includes the services marketed by Postel, shows growing revenue (+€7 million; +2.8%) and decreasing volumes (-22 million items; -6.2%) compared to the same period in 2025, mainly due to the decline in Printing services as a result of the drop in the print market. The item Other includes the compensation for the Universal Service Charge equal to €131 million in the first half of 2026, in line with the same period in 2025, and the tariff supplements on the publishing service equal to €27 million, substantially in line with the same period in 2025 (+€2 million, or +7.9%).
Revenue from mail in the second quarter of 2026 amounted to €502 million, down compared to the second quarter of 2025 (-€14 million; -2.7%); volumes also recorded a decrease of 29 million items (-6.2%). This change was mainly affected by the entrusting of smaller volumes by some large municipalities for the dispatch of fines for traffic violations, as well as by the award by tender by the tax authorities of the service for the notification of court documents previously entrusted with the Universal Service at a higher rate.
PARCELS AND LOGISTICS
In the first half of 2026, the parcels and logistics sector recorded growth in both volumes (+20 million shipments, equal to +12.5%) and revenue (+€105 million, equal to +13.1%) compared to the same period in 2025.
E-commerce continues to be the business segment with the highest growth compared to the same period in 2025, thanks above all to the contribution of the second-hand market and medium-sized customers in the B2C and B2B sectors.
Revenue growth in the courier and parcels segment in the first half of 2026 (+€63 million, equal to +8.8% compared to the first half of 2025), although positive, is less pronounced than the change in volumes (+€20 million in volumes, equal to +12.5% compared to the first half of 2025), mainly due to the combined effect of the following factors: i) an increase in the volume mix of lower-priced products; ii) a greater incidence of revenue from out-of-home delivery products, which benefit from lower delivery costs and therefore enjoy a more competitive rate.+11.2%

Logistics revenue increased by approximately €43 million (+49.9%) both due to the sustained development of contract logis -
tics, thanks in part to the contribution of the launch, in April, of the partnership with Benetton Group Srl (Logistic 360) in the fashion sector, and due to the healthcare logistics business.
Parcels and logistics revenue in the second quarter confirmed the positive performance of previous periods, recording growth in both revenue from €408 million in the second quarter of 2025 to €453 million in the second quarter of 2026 (+11.2% y/y) and volumes (from 82 million shipments in the second quarter of 2025 to 90 million shipments in the same quarter of 2026, equal to +10.6% y/y). This trend is substantially related to the increase in average daily volumes entrusted by major customers as well as the rest of the customer base compared to the same period last year.
COSTS
(€m)
Costs including depreciation, amortisation and impairments relating to the first half of 2026 amount to €4,917 million, with an increase of €224 million (+4.8%) compared to the same period of 2025. In the first half of 2026, personnel expenses amounted to €2,807 million, an increase of €34 million (+1.2%) compared to the same period of 2025; this change is mainly attributable to the increases provided for by the national collective labour agreement signed on 23 July 2024 and by the performance-related bonus agreement signed on 8 July 2025.
Costs of goods and services also showed an increase of €152 million (+11.1%), reaching €1,514 million in the first half of 2026;
this trend is attributable to the higher variable costs associated with the growth of the parcels business. Depreciation, amorti -
sation, and impairments amounted to €529 million, up €58 million (+12.3%) compared to the same period in 2025.
In light of the above, the Mail, Parcels and Distribution Strategic Business Unit reported a positive operating profit of €52 million in the first half of 2026, worse (-€14 million, equal to -21.7%) than the same half of 2025.
The net result, net of the equity measurement of TIM for the SBU in the first half of 2026 was negative at €23 million, a decrease of €15 million compared to the first half of 2025 (-€8 million) also due to the capital gain (€27 million) realised in the first quarter of 2025 as part of the acquisition from Cassa Depositi e Prestiti SpA of approximately 9.81% of the ordinary shares of Telecom Italia SpA, which took place in February 2025, and the simultaneous sale of the investment in Nexi SpA, amounting to approximately 3.78% of the share capital, to Cassa Depositi e Prestiti SpA.+34+152 +58 +0.3

Revenue of the SBU for the first six months of 2026 amounted to €3,475 million, up €122 million from €3,353 million in the first six months of 2025 (+3.7%).
In detail, the period under review shows: (i) net interest income substantially in line with the first half of 2025 (-0.2%), mainly due to the lower yield on the Other financial operations segment (-€5 million), partially offset by the higher yield from the use of current account deposits in the Public Administration segment (+€1 million), while the yield on the Retail and Corporate segment is in line with the first half of 2025; (ii) net capital gains realised as part of pro-active portfolio management of €166 million, up by €133 million compared to €32 million in the first half of 2025; (iii) revenue from the Postal Savings collection and management service amounted to €883 million, down compared to the same period of 2025 (-€9 million, -1%) due to lower upfront revenue (one-off commission based on product subscription flows) partially offset by higher running revenue (recurring commission based on average product balances); iv) revenue from the distribution of loans and other third-party products amounted to €130 million, down by €10 million (-6.9%) compared to €140 million in 2025; this decrease is mainly attributable 1661,334883112130342 n.s.

ed to €342 million, down compared to the previous year (-€9 million, or -2.6%), mainly due to a decrease in revenue from bills (-€17 million), partially mitigated by higher revenue from account maintenance fees (+€4 million), growth in revenue from fund transfers (+€3 million) and higher revenue from bank transfers (+€2 million); vi) revenue from Asset Management, which amounted to €112 million, up €22 million (+25.1%) compared to the same period of the previous year, mainly due to growth in revenue from the placement of mutual funds (+€11 million) and management fees linked to the increase in client total financial assets (+€9 million).
Revenue from other sectors in the first half of 2026 amounted to €508 million (-€3 million compared to the same half of 2025, equal to -0.6%). The negative change is attributable to lower commissions from the Insurance Services SBU, partially offset by the growth in revenue from the placement of PostePay products.
The second quarter of 2026 shows a decrease in external revenue compared to the same period of 2025 of €23 million (-1.6%), mainly attributable to lower net capital gains realised as part of pro-active portfolio management (-€21 million), lower revenue relating to the collection and management of Postal Savings (-€8 million, -1.8%), lower revenue relating to collection and payment services (-€5 million, equal to -3.1%), and lower revenue from the distribution of loans and other third-party prod -
ucts (-€4 million, equal to -6.4%). These negative changes are partly offset by higher revenue from Asset Management (+€11 million, or +23.5%) and higher revenue from net interest income (+€5 million, or +0.8%).
Revenue from other sectors showed growth compared to the second quarter of 2025 (+€4 million, equal to +1.5%), attributa -

In the first half of 2026, the Average current account deposit increased compared to the same period of the previous year, from €89.4 billion to €92.9 billion. This increase, amounting to about €3.5 billion (+3.9%), was attributable in particular to the growth in deposits in Retail accounts including PostePay cards (+€2.1 billion, +3.7%), the Treasury components (+€2.3 billion, +59.1%) and long-term REPO (+€0.1 billion, +0.8%); these positive changes were partially offset by the contraction in Public Administration deposits (-€0.9 billion, -6.7%), while the balances of Corporate accounts were substantially in line with the first half of 2025.1H 2026 1H 2025+3.7%-0.1%+0.8%

Poste Italiane Group
In this market backdrop, BancoPosta’s securities portfolio management during the first half of 2026 was characterised by strategies aimed at stabilising the performance and improving the portfolio’s income profile. In particular, purchases of most -
ly fixed-rate securities were made. Moreover, early unwinding of hedging derivatives was carried out, in order to return the underlying investments to a fixed rate to stabilise the interest margin at a higher yield than the initial purchase one. Still aiming to improve returns for 2026 and beyond, two relative value131 strategies were implemented, involving the purchase and sale of medium/long-term securities. With a view to stabilising interest rates and given the increasing volatility of money market rates, which is impacting the level of income from the variable-rate portfolio, a portion of the portfolio was hedged with asset swaps, locking in a fixed rate for the next 2-3 years. Taking advantage of rising yields, operations were carried out to hedge the 10-year BTP component of the remuneration of the MEF parameter132 on €5.5 billion, locking in the fixings from April until the end of the year. In the first half, forward sales concluded in 2025 were settled, resulting in total net capital gains for the first half of 2026 of €166 million. In addition, long-term funding REPO (repurchase agreements) were renewed to keep the level of structural leverage unchanged.
POSTAL SAVINGS NET INFLOWS
(€m)
At 30 June 2026, net inflows from Postal Savings amount -
ed approximately to a negative €2.8 billion, a significant improvement of €3.8 billion compared to 30 June 2025. Net book inflows, negative and equal to approximately -€1.2 billion, recorded a deterioration of €2.4 billion compared to the same half of 2025. The decrease is mainly attributable to lower credits from the redemption of Interest-bearing Postal Certificates (BFP).
Net inflows from Interest-bearing Postal Certificates (BFP) at 30 June 2026 amounted to approximately -€1.6 billion, an improvement of €6.2 billion compared to 30 June 2025: this trend is attributable to the performance of BFP repayments, primarily natural and deferred, which were down by approxi -
mately €6 billion (-20% y/y) compared to the same period in 2025.
POSTAL SAVINGS AVERAGE DEPOSIT*
(€m)
The postal savings average deposit in the first half of 2026 recorded an overall increase of €2.1 billion compared to the value recorded on 30 June 2025. The postal savings books average deposit recorded a positive change compared to the same half of 2025, attributable to the positive results of 2025, which were also generated by new liquidity initiatives and the performance of the “Supersmart Plus Deposit” aimed at par -
ticipants in the “Smart Savings Option” initiative. The Average Deposit of Interest-bearing Postal Certificates also shows a positive change due to the increase, albeit slight, in Gross Inflows and the lower redemptions recorded in the first half of 2026 compared to the same half of 2025.
* The average deposit is calculated as the arithmetic average of the deposits recorded at the end of each day of the current year. The computation of interest accrued during the year takes place at the beginning of the following year; therefore, interest accrued from the beginning of the year until the date of reporting are excluded. The calculation also excludes interest accrued in previous years but not yet payable to the customer on interest-bearing postal certificates that have not yet matured at the reporting date.

TOTAL COSTS
(€m)
Total costs for the Strategic Business Unit amounted to €2,892 million, up €60 million (+2.1%) compared to €2,833 million in the first six months of 2025. This increase was primarily due to higher costs to other sectors (+€73 million), resulting from the increased remuneration paid to the commercial networks associated with the higher capital gains realised in the period by BancoPosta RFC. This change was partially offset by a decrease in other operating costs (-€14 million, partly attributable to the costs for the contribution to the Insurance Guarantee Fund incurred in the first half of 2025 and which, starting in 2026, will be recognised at the end of the financial year, in accordance with the recently enacted relevant legislation).
The adjusted operating profit (adjusted EBIT) amounted to €583 million, an increase of €55 million compared to the same period of 2025 (+10.4%).
With a positive financial management of €11 million and taking into account taxes for the period (€169 million), the net result of the Financial Services Strategic Business Unit in the first six months of 2026 stood at €425 million, an increase of €29 million compared to €396 million in the same period of 2025 (+7.3%).Other costs* Costs vs other sectors

At 30 June 2026, the Leverage Ratio stood at 3.2%, almost unchanged compared to 31 December 2025, as a result of the slight decrease in Total assets on the balance sheet - including adjustments for Leverage calculation purposes - of approxi -
mately €0.1 billion.
The CET 1 Ratio at 30 June 2026 stood at 19.3%, while the Total Capital Ratio including Additional Tier 1 was 22.5%, con -
firming BancoPosta capital solidity. The decrease in both indicators compared to 31 December 2025 is linked to the increase in Risk Weighted Assets (RWA), particularly credit and counterparty risk.

EXTERNAL REVENUE
(€m)
Investment and Pension revenue : release of the Contractual Service Margin (CSM), expected claims and benefits deriv -
ing from the release of expected cash flows, release of the Risk Adjustment , recovery of contract acquisition costs, claims occurring in the reporting period (excluding investment components) and other directly attributable expenses, losses on groups of onerous insurance contracts and the amortisation of expenses for the acquisition of insurance contracts issued, change in Liability for Incurred Claims (LIC), maintenance and collection commissions and other acquisition costs charged entirely to the statement of profit or loss, investment management costs to which the Variable Fee Approach (VFA) method is applied, net finance income/expenses relating to investments and financial costs/revenue relating to insurance contracts issued (with reference to contracts valued using the VFA method, the “mirroring effect”).
Protection revenue : release of Contractual Service Margin (CSM), expected claims and benefits arising from the release of expected cash flows, release of Risk Adjustment, recovery of contract acquisition costs, incurred claims in the reporting period and other directly attributable expenses, losses on groups of onerous insurance contracts and amortisation of acqui -

External revenue for the Insurance Services SBU amounted to €983 million in the first half of 2026, up €78 million (+8.6%) compared to €906 million in the first half of 2025. This performance is attributable to both the Investment and Pension busi -
ness, which contributed revenue of €878 million (+€67 million, equal to +8.2% y/y), and the Protection business (+€11 million, equal to +11.4% y/y).
In detail, net revenue from the Investment and Pension business increased by €67 million compared to the first six months of 2025 (+8.2% y/y) due to: i) the higher CSM release of €53 million compared to the same period of 2025 attributable to the growth of the CSM and the greater coverage unit133 and ii) the higher contribution of net finance income relating to Investment and Pension contracts (+€13 million).

6. Creation of value
Net revenue from the Protection business amounted to €105 million, up €11 million (+11.4%) compared to the corresponding peri -
od of 2025, mainly due to: i) the growth in insurance revenue from contracts issued (+€27 million) linked to the growth in volumes earned; ii) the greater contribution of financial income (+€3 million) and iii) the lower cost of reinsurance (+€8 million) mainly due to the evolution of the portfolio. These changes are partly offset by the increase in costs for insurance services issued (-€27 million).
The Combined Ratio of the Protection business net of reinsurance stood at 81.8%, an improvement compared to the value recorded in the same period of 2025 (equal to 82.7%).
Considering revenue from other sectors134, negative by €125 million (a decrease of €23 million compared to the first six months of 2025 given the trend in inflows), the overall net revenue of the Strategic Business Unit amounted to €858 million, an increase of €55 million (+6.8%) compared to the first half of 2025.
The second quarter of 2026 showed external revenue of €514 million, an increase of €51 million (+10.9%) compared to the same period in 2025, with the Investment and Pension business contributing €455 million in revenue and the Protection business gen -
erating €59 million in revenue.
In detail, net revenue from the Investment and Pension business increased by €44 million compared to the second quarter of 2025 (+10.6%) due to: i) a higher CSM release for €37 million; ii) a higher release of the risk adjustment for €3 million and iii) the higher contribution of net financial income relating to the Investment and Pension contracts (+€9 million). These changes are partly offset by the increase in costs for insurance services issued (-€6 million).
Net revenue from the Protection business in the second quarter of 2026 amounted to €59 million, showing an increase (+€7 mil -
lion; +13.4%) compared to the second quarter of 2025, mainly due to: i) the growth in insurance revenue from contracts issued (+€9 million) related to the growth in volumes accrued; ii) the lower cost resulting from the reinsurance result (+€12 million) and iii) the higher net income from financial management (+€1 million). These changes are partly offset by the increase in costs for insurance services issued (-€16 million).
CONTRACTUAL SERVICE MARGIN
(€m)
The Contractual Service Margin (CSM) shows a balance at the end of the first half of 2026 of €13,798 million, an increase compared to the figure at the end of 2025 of €135 million. This performance is mainly attributable to the positive impact of new production in the half-year.
134. These mainly relate to fee and commission expenses recognised to the BancoPosta RFC directly allocable to the management of insurance contracts in accordance with the accounting standard IFRS 17 - Insurance Contracts.13,663+687 +241

Poste Italiane Group
New business : the item includes the present value of new business associated with the premiums recorded in the period and the associated estimated outlays (expenses and settlements).
Expected return : CSM growth independent of financial and technical management performance. It is calculated as the sum of the accrued and capitalised interest on the CSM (based on the risk free yield curve) at the reporting date and the result of the difference between the real world yield curve and the expected risk neutral yield curve.
Financial Variances : the item includes the impact on the CSM resulting from the realisation of financial assumptions (e.g. interest rate spread, and the consequent effect on the fair value of the portfolio of separately managed accounts) at the end of the reporting period different from those expected at the beginning of the period, as well as the change in the financial assumptions on future flows.
Operating Variances : the item includes experience-related changes (changes between estimated and actual flows), changes in technical assumptions (e.g. actuarial assumptions, mortality rate, etc.).
CSM Release : this item represents the share for the reporting period determined on the basis of the coverage unit, as well as the adjustment related to the additional release component.
Normalised annualised growth : this represents the CSM growth for the period adjusted for exogenous compo -
nents (i.e. financial market trends and policyholder behaviour). It is calculated as the ratio of the CSM of new business increased by the expected return and decreased by the release of the period compared to the CSM at the end of the previous year (linearised over 12 months in intermediate periodic situations).
In detail, during the first half of 2026, the following were recorded: i) a positive change of €687 million mainly linked to the collec -
tion of approximately €7 billion135; ii) a positive change of the expected return of €241 million generated by the expected interest component on the CSM; iii) the negative result of financial variances of €85 million related to market movements (in particular, the increase in the yield curve and the increase in the spread were observed in the period, partially offset by the positive perfor -
mance of the equity market); iv) a positive balance of operating variances of €115 million mainly due to the reduction of future non-financial risks (risk adjustment); v) the release of the CSM in the period for a total of €825 million, an increase compared to the release in the first half of 2025 (€764 million).
After deducting exogenous components (financial market trends and policyholder behaviour) from the CSM performance, nor -
malised growth in the first half of 2026 was €104 million (annualised growth of +1.5%) compared to the value at 31 December 2025.
135. The value includes the premium collection of Poste Vita, Poste Assicura, Net Insurance and Net Insurance Life on new placements while excluding renewals and additional payments relating to existing and projected policies.

Poste Italiane Group
In the first half of 2026, gross premiums in the Investment and Pension business amounted to €9.9 billion, a decrease of €1.1 billion (-10.1%) compared to the first half of 2025, due to lower gross inflows on build-up products (including Pension) by €0.7 billion and on Multi-class products by €0.4 billion; for the latter, despite the fact that premiums written went from €7.2 billion in the first half of 2025 to €6.8 billion in the first half of 2026, there was an increase in the share of total inflows (from 65% in the first half of 2025 to 69% in the first half of 2026).
In the first six months of 2026, gross premiums from the Protection business amounted to €711 million, in line (+€2 million) with the same period in 2025 (€708 million). The following were up in the first half of 2026: i) the “property and personal protection” line, whose premium income rose from €186 million in the first half of 2025 to €219 million in the same period of 2026 (+€33 million, or +17.9%) and ii) the credit protection line, which increased by €2 million compared to the same half of 2025; these changes were largely offset by the decrease (-€34 million; -10.7%) in premium income for the “corporate” segment, whose premiums fell from €321 million in the first half of 2025 to €287 million in the first half of 2026.
In the second quarter of 2026, gross premiums in the Investment and Pension business amounted to €4.3 billion, a decrease of €0.7 billion (-13.3%) compared to the second quarter of 2025, due to lower inflows (-€0.8 billion; -22.3%) from Multi-class products, which fell from €3.5 billion in the first half of 2025 to €2.7 billion in the second quarter of 2026; this change was only partly offset by an increase of €0.1 billion (+8.0%) in premiums from build-up products (including Pension).
In the second quarter of 2026, gross premiums from the Protection business amounted to €318 million, down €19 million (-5.7%) compared to the corresponding period of 2025, when they stood at €337 million, mainly due to the decrease in inflows in the Corporate segment (-€39 million, -28.3%), whose premiums went from €137 million in the second quarter of 2025 to €98 million in the second quarter of 2026. This change is only partially offset by the increase (+€15 million; +16.4%) in premiums relating to the “property and personal protection” line and by the increase in inflows relating to the credit protection line, which recorded an increase of €4 million (+4.1%) compared to the same quarter of 2025.
INVESTMENT AND PENSION NET INFLOWS AT 30 JUNE 2026
(€m)
Net inflows from the Investment and Pension business amounted to €1.2 billion (€1.5 billion excluding the contribution of Cronos), up (+€0.3 billion) compared to the first half of 2025 due to the decrease in liquidations (-€1.4 billion) compared to the first six months of 2025, mainly due to the reduction in lapses in the peri -
od, only partially offset by the decrease in gross inflows (down €1.1 billion compared to the first half of 2025).
The lapse rate at 30 June 2026 is 7%, down from 8.9% at 30 June 2025, and remains lower than the market average of 9.24% at 31 March 2026136.

LIABILITIES UNDER INSURANCE CONTRACTS
(€m)
Liabilities under insurance contracts at 30 June 2026 amount -
ed to a total of €170,767 million, and consist of €169,169 million in Liability for Remaining Coverage (LRC), including the Contractual Service Margin (CSM) of €13,798 million, and €1,599 million in Liability for Incurred Claims (LIC).
The change recorded in the first six months of 2026, up 2.4% (+€4,054 million), is mainly attributable to the increase in LRC (+€3,664 million), primarily due to the increase in net inflows for the period, the financial effect related to the capitalisation of interest for the period and the financial changes recorded since the beginning of the year.
LIC increased by €390 million (+32%) in the first half of 2026, mainly due to the claims and lapses recorded during the peri -
od and largely related to build-up products.
INSURANCE PROVISIONS137

pared to 30 June 2025 (+4.6%).
The technical provisions of the Investment and Pension business amounted to €174.1 billion, an increase of approx -
imately €3.7 billion compared to 31 December 2025, mainly thanks to the positive net inflows recorded in the first half of 2026 (€1.2 billion) and the positive performance effect (+€2.5 billion).
The technical provisions relating to the Protection segment amounted to €1,963 million at the end of the first half of 2026 (of which €933 million relating to the Life business, and €1,031 million relating to the P&C business), up €274 million (+16.2%) compared to €1,689 million recorded at 31 December 2025.

TOTAL COSTS
(€m)
The costs discussed in this paragraph are only those not directly attributable to insurance contracts. In light of the entry into force of the IFRS 17 standard, costs directly attributable to insurance policies are in fact shown as a direct reduction of insur -
ance revenue. These costs, moreover, at the time the contract is concluded are considered within insurance liabilities and released periodically in the statement of profit or loss (within net insurance income).
Non-attributable costs at 30 June 2026 (mainly referring to other operating costs, personnel expenses, commercial expenses, IT service costs and professional consultancy/services) amounted to €31 million, down by €14 million compared to €45 million recognised in the first half of 2025, mainly due to the combined effect of the recognition, in the first half of 2025, of the charge for the contribution to the Life Insurance Guarantee Fund140, amounting to approximately €30 million, and the one-off compo -
nent (approximately €10 million) recognised in the first half of 2025 to recover the sums paid by Poste Vita and Poste Assicura to INPS as a contribution to the Cassa Unica Assegni Familiari (CUAF), relating to the period September 2014 - September 2019141. Personnel expenses increased by €7 million compared to the same half of 2025 due to the expansion of the workforce following the full demerger of Cronos Vita Assicurazioni SpA in favour of Poste Vita SpA as of 1 October 2025.
In light of the results illustrated, the economic performance of the Insurance Services Strategic Business Unit in the period shows an adjusted operating profit ( adjusted EBIT ) of €827 million, up €39 million (+4.9%) compared to the first half of 2025.
140. From 2026, the charge is accounted for at the end of the year, in line with the recently issued reference regulations.
141. Ruling no. 1774/2025, published on 12 February 2025, in which the Labour Judge of Rome upheld in full the appeal filed by Poste Vita on 24 May 2023 seeking to declare as not due the sums paid by the company to INPS by way of CUAF contribution and sanctions for the period from September 2014 to September 2019.Personnel expensesCost of goods and

Taking into account the positive financial management of €26 million (€43 million in the first half of 2025) and taxes for the peri -
od amounting to €275 million (€229 million in the first half of 2025), the Insurance Services Strategic Business Unit achieved a net profit of €578 million in the first half of 2026, an increase (+€5 million; +0.8%) compared to the same period of 2025.
SOLVENCY RATIO
The Solvency Ratio of the Poste Vita Group at 30 June 2026 stood at 303%142, almost stable compared to the December 2025 value (303%), remaining at levels well above regulatory constraints and managerial aspirations (around 200% over the entire economic cycle).
The slight change in the half-year is due to the decrease in the capital requirement (about +1 p.p.), which is more than propor -
tional to the reduction in Own Funds (about -1 p.p.).
In particular, the decrease in the value of Own Funds takes into account the impact of the dividend accrued for the period. The latter reflects the assumption of a dividend pay-out ratio of 100% of IFRS profit, which has a negative impact on the value of the Group Solvency Ratio of approximately -13 p.p.
The decrease in the Capital Requirement is driven by the decrease in life underwriting risk (mass lapse risk); the mass lapse risk is mitigated by the insurance treaty for Class I and Multi-class products, which was renewed in January 2025 and is in force until 31 December 2027.

EXTERNAL REVENUE
(€m)
As reported in the paragraph “Group operating results”, starting from the 2023, the energy business has been represented on a net revenue basis, i.e. the revenue is shown net of costs associated with the purchase of raw materials, system charges and the transport of electricity and gas.
Payments : prepaid cards (top-ups, payments, withdrawals, fees, issuance), debit cards (PostePay debit - interchange fee on card value transactions; from October 2021 also withdrawals, P2P top-ups and fees to customers); acquiring services (transaction fee, fees and services) linked to the supply of POS (mobile, physical, virtual) for accepting card payments (debit, credit, prepaid). Telephone top-ups for all mobile network operators (MNO) and virtual mobile operators (MVNO), commercial services for tobacconists/HORECAs: tax payment service through acceptance of the F23 and F24 models; funds transfer for sending money abroad via Moneygram and Western Union, post giro transfers and direct debit made by PostePay Evolution, payments on the PagoPA system, MAV, payment collection, revenue stamps, acceptance of postal pay slips and other direct LIS payments.
TLC: mobile phones (revenue from traffic and monthly fees) and fixed line (the “PosteCasa Ultraveloce” fibre offer and the “PosteMobile Casa” offer).
Energy : revenue from electricity and gas sales (net of costs) following the start of the mass market offer from January 2023 (employee and family promotion in mid-June 2022) and revenue from energy management portfolio optimisation activities143.
External revenue amounted to €860 million, up €58 million compared to the previous half of 2025 (+7.3%), primarily driven by growth in the Energy and Payments segments, which totalled €27 million and €31 million respectively; while the contribution from the Telecommunications segment remained essentially stable.
In particular, revenue in the energy segment grew by €27 million, from €57 million in the first half of 2025 to €84 million in the same period of 2026, thanks to the contribution of both the Electricity (+€18 million in revenue) and Gas (+€9 million in revenue) offerings, in a context of positive commercial dynamics and favoured by market conditions. At 30 June 2026, the customer base consisted of 1,190 thousand users (of which 764 thousand for commodity power and 426 thousand for gas).
Revenue in the payments segment grew by €31 million, thanks both to the increase in electronic money of €18 million and to the contribution of collection and payment services of €13 million compared to the same period last year.

INTERIM REPORT ON OPERATIONS AT 30 JUNE 2026
6. Creation of value
Revenue from electronic money (€18 million) recorded an increase in fee revenue from PostePay Evolution cards and debit cards as well as higher revenue from acquiring services; while the growth in collection and payment services (€13 million) was mainly due to the contribution of transfers and payments on the PagoPA system.
In the first half of 2026, revenue from other sectors amounted to €139 million, down €3 million compared to €143 million in the corresponding period of the previous year. The negative change is mainly attributable to the reduction in revenue from the Financial Services SBU of €5 million, partially offset by the growth in revenue from the Mail, Parcels and Distribution SBU of €2 million.
In the second quarter of 2026, the positive performance of external revenue was confirmed, amounting to €435 million and marking an increase of €31 million (+7.7%) compared to the same quarter of 2025 thanks to the payments business (+€18 million, +6.1%) and the energy business (+€12 million, +47.9%); the performance of the Telecommunications segment was in line with the previous quarter (+€1 million, +1.3%).
In the second quarter of 2026, revenue in the payments sector increased by €18 million compared to the same period of the previous year. This result is attributable both to the growth of the electronic money sector (+€9 million) and to the positive performance of collection and payment services (+€9 million). The performance of the electronic money segment benefits from increased operations and fee revenue from Postepay Evolution cards and debit cards (+€2 million), as well as higher revenue from acquiring services (+€3 million). The growth in collection and payment services is mainly attributable to the increase in revenue generated by transfers and payments on the PagoPA system.
The Energy sector recorded revenue of €38 million in the second quarter of 2026, an increase of €12 million (+47.9%) com -
pared to the second quarter of 2025 thanks to the growth of the customer base.
CARD STOCK
(m) At 30 June 2026, the total stock of prepaid Postepay cards and Postepay Debit cards amounted to 29.1 million, a decrease of 1.1 million (-3.7%) compared to 31 December 2025, mainly due to the decrease in Standard Postepay cards.
The number of existing PostePay prepaid cards amounts to 21.5 million (decrease of 5.3% compared to 31 December 2025), with PostePay Evolution cards stable at about 10.8 million.
At 30 June 2026, the sale of Postepay Connect cards had 27.8 thousand activations with a stock of 569 thousand cards (slight decrease compared to 31 December 2025: 588 thousand). The stock of Eco-sustainable cards is growing, going from 20.4 million in December 2025 to 23.7 million in June 2026 (+16.1%).
Lastly, at 30 June 2026, payment card transactions increased by 12.7% compared to the same period in 2025, with a value of €1,763 million in the first half of 2026 compared to €1,565 million in the first half of 2025. Furthermore, there was an increase in the total payment card transaction value144 by +8.1% (+€3.6 billion in transaction value) compared to the same period in 2025, from €44 billion in the first half of 2025 to €48 billion in the first half of 2026, also thanks to the contribution of e-commerce transactions which recorded growth of +11% (+€1.6 billion in transaction value).

6. Creation of value
At 30 June 2026, total costs for the Postepay Services SBU (including depreciation, amortisation, and impairments) amounted to €689 million, an increase of 3.1% (+€21 million) compared to the €668 million incurred at 30 June 2025.
The increase in costs for goods and services (€8 million, 2.3% compared to the first half of 2025) is mainly due to the growth in sales and management commissions of €9 million (+8.4%) due to increased operations.
Costs to other sectors amounted to €287 million, up €12 million (+4.2%) compared to the same period of 2025, and are mainly due to higher outsourcing costs to the Parent Company, particularly for back office activities and information services aimed at enabling the execution of payment transactions.
Personnel expenses amounted to €31 million and are substantially in line with the value recorded in the first half of 2025 (+0.5% y/y).
In light of the results illustrated, the Postepay Services SBU generated EBIT of €310 million in the first half of 2026, an increase of +12.3% compared with the first half of 2025 (+€34 million).
The net profit achieved in the first half amounted to €232 million, an increase of 10.9% compared to the value the first half of 2025 (+€23 million).
The free capital ratio145 of PostePay EMI at 30 June 2026 amounted to 20.9%, down from the value at 30 June 2025 (24.5%), while the total capital ratio of PostePay EMI was 7.58% at 30 June 2026 (7.94% at 30 June 2025).
The deviation of both indicators from the values recorded in the first half of 2025 is due to the increase in the overall capital requirement compared to the first half of 2025 (+5%); this change is related both to the increase in the average balance on PostePay Evolution cards (calculated for the six months prior to 30 June 2026) and to the increase in payment volumes (cal -
culated for the financial year preceding the valuation date).
145. This indicator expresses the adequacy of the capital base, in terms of its excess over the minimum total capital requirement required by the Supervisory Provisions for Electronic Money Institutions, and is calculated as: (Regulatory Capital - Capital Requirement) / Regulatory Capital. The Capital Requirement is determined on the basis of the payment volumes realised in the twelve months preceding the financial year to which the calculation date refers and the average balance on prepaid cards issued by PostePay referring to the six months preceding the calculation date. The PostePay 2026 Risk Appetite Framework (RAF) provides for a Free Capital Ratio of 18%.6.2 Group’s Capital Management Framework The Group strategically manages the allocation of available capital among the four Strategic Business Units in which it oper -
ates, consistent with the following objectives:
1 ensure business continuity through adequate capital allocation by all SBUs to support the investment and liquidity needs of the businesses on the one hand, and compliance with regulatory requirements for SBUs operating in regulated and supervised markets on the other;
2 maximise the medium- to long-term value creation of the Group by allocating capital according to its economic return;
3 guarantee a competitive return to shareholders by ensuring the dividend policy communicated to the market;
4 seize opportunities arising from acquisitions and/or strategic partnerships.
There are no significant changes to the Group’s capital allocation in the first half of 2026. For more information, please refer to the Annual Report at 31 December 2025.

The increase in the value of investments accounted for using the equity method contributed €202 million to the change, mainly due to the measurement using the equity method of the investment in TIM, in addition to the conversion of the savings shares held in TIM into ordinary shares, which resulted in the recognition of an additional portion among the investments accounted for using the equity method.
Investments of €522 million also contributed to the forma -
tion of non-current assets and an increase in Rights of use for new contracts, renewals and contractual changes net of terminations falling within the scope of application of IFRS 16 equal to a total of €93 million. These changes were partially offset by depreciation and amortisation of €544 million146.
Investments made from the Group in the first half of 2026 amount to approximately €522 million. Among the main ESG initiatives in line with the Environmental, Social and Governance principles, of highlight are the Polis Project “Houses of digital citizenship services”, the energy efficien -
cy initiatives of the real estate assets, the automation and evolution of the sorting and delivery network from a green perspective, the improvement of the customer experience of the products and services offered to customers from a multi-channel and digital perspective, the evolution of the Cloud infrastructure, as well as the adoption of management systems, equipment and infrastructures in the field of health and safety.
In line with the 2024-2028 investment programme, over 90% of the Group’s investments (€485 million) focused on the automation and modernisation of the Mail, Parcels and Distribution Strategic Business Unit.
In particular, at 30 June 2026, the delivery and transport fleet consisted of a total of about 30 thousand latest-generation147, lower-emission vehicles, of which more than 1,300 were purchased by Postego and of which about 6 thousand were full-green (electric) vehicles. In addition, among the main initiatives related to the transformation of the logistics network, in support of the Poste Italiane New Courier Network, a delivery structure completely dedicated to parcel delivery, 34 logistics sites were launched in the first half of 2026, for a total of about 70 logistics sites launched at 30 June 2026. 1H26

6. Creation of value
Property investments concerned the redevelopment of Post Offices, the creation of new spac -
es for commercial specialists. In the area of reducing environmental impacts, work continued on automation and remote control of facility management (about 2,390 buildings involved in the Smart Building project in the first half of 2026) in order to reduce electricity consumption and CO2 emissions. In addition, around 210 photovoltaic systems were installed in the first half of 2026, bringing the total to around 1,080 systems with an installed capacity of approx -
imately 31,700 KWp.
In the first half of 2026, work continued on the routine management of security in the work -
place, in particular with the distribution of security equipment at the territorial branches, and on IT security through threat prevention and countering cyber attacks. Work continued on the Poste Italiane video surveillance service for sites not yet served and existing systems were improved by progressively replacing digital video recorders (DVR) and obsolete anti-intrusion control units. In particular, around 40 cameras and over 20 Intrusion Control Panels were replaced. Furthermore, in the first half of 2026, the Transported Asset Protection Association
- Facility Security Requirements (TAPA - FSR) certifications were renewed148 at the Sorting Centres of Milan Roserio and Peschiera Borromeo, Turin, Bari, Lamezia Terme, Florence and Verona and at the Operating Centre of Brescia, for a total of 14 sites certified at 30 June 2026.
Among the main initiatives in the area of Digital Transformation and Customer Experience , the evolution of the Poste Italiane App continued during the first half of 2026, with the aim of enabling customers to carry out the integrated management of payments, savings and Group services in a simple and intuitive way, while making the experience increasingly dynamic and personalised. With a view to strengthening the Group’s omnichannel platform, the new Customer Card was released in the first half of 2026, aimed at supporting retail advisors in their daily activities through a centralised tool for managing customer relations. The solution offers a comprehensive integrated view and enables the integration of the main commercial and oper -
ational activities.
As part of the Technological Transformation and Innovation programme, in the first half of 2026, work began on the programme to develop the management model for the Mainframe systems that support the provision of BancoPosta and PostePay financial services, with the aim of taking control of the technological infrastructure and accelerating the modernisa -
tion process. In this context, the insourcing of an initial component of the technological infrastructure was carried out and the Mainframe systems management service was developed.
During the first half of 2026, the evolution of the Customer Support model also continued, with the launch of Artificial Intelligence-based solutions in the Energy area. These solutions support operators in handling requests, automatically sug -
gesting information, procedures and actions to ensure faster and more effective responses. The self-service channel, which allows customers to resolve their needs independently without the support of an operator, accounts for 47% of total interac -
tions, confirming its role as a central lever of the service model.
In the Back Office area too, the implementation of Artificial Intelligence tools aimed at the evolution of existing processes was initiated during the first half of 2026. In particular, a tool was launched to automate the reading, extraction and synthesis of data in input documentation.
For further details on the Group’s developments in Artificial Intelligence and the new Poste Italiane app, please refer to section 4.5 “Omnichannel approach and operating segments”.
148. TAPA certification involves the implementation of physical security systems and the adaptation of security systems (access control, video-surveillance, anti-intrusion, etc.) at the logistics sites of Mail, Communication and Logistics, as well as the adoption of specific rules, procedures and audit plans so that what is implemented is aimed at protecting assets and spreading a culture of security, in compliance with company regulations, in order to ensure the reduction of exposure to the risk of theft, compliance with the international TAPA-FSR standard according to which sites will be certified, the maintenance of air security certification (regulated agent, airport handler) and the transport of dangerous goods under ADR (Accord Dangereuses Route - road) and DGR (Dangerous Goods Regulation - air transport).

In the Financial Services Strategic Business Unit , total investments amounted to €11 million. In the area of Loans, follow -
ing the integration of the new partner “Prestitalia” for the placement of salary-backed loan products, the customer target was expanded and the functionalities were extended to include the possibility of advancing the requested sums to the customer following the approval of the salary-backed loan. In the Personal Loans area, releases were made to optimise the management of after-sales activities through the dematerialisation of forms for the partner “Findomestic”. With regard to Postal Savings, developments have been made to extend the operation of the Minors’ Passbook on digital web and app channels (for parents, guardians and minors), in order to make certain features accessible on a continuous basis, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. In the area of Investments, the development of a first phase of the returns project was completed, which provides for their display in the app and on the web. In the “Premium and Private” area, the Premium contract management system has evolved in sales and after-sales operations.
In the Insurance Services Strategic Business Unit , during the first half of 2026, the development of the Investment and Protection offering and the completion of the integrated advisory model continued, to contribute to the evolution of the service model. The digitisation process aimed at service excellence was also further developed through the continuation of omnichan -
nel customer engagement and data-driven insurance process, optimisation of after-sales processes and the service model, and digitisation of products and services. Finally, activities continue to improve the Poste Italiane Group’s value proposition for physical third-party networks and digital channels, in order to increase the channels of access to the insurance offer. Total investments in the first half of 2026 amounted to €5 million.
Investments in the period of the Postepay Services Strategic Business Unit amounted to €22 million. In the issuing area, releases were made to allow customers to associate an IBAN with the Green Card via digital channels and to raise the POS payment limits with the PostePay Evolution and Standard products. In the acquiring area, both the implementation of the PagoPA POS service, which allows customers to accept payments for PagoPA notices from the Public Administration via SmartPOS, and the acceptance of Scalapay “Buy Now Pay Later” on SmartPOS have been made available to customers. In the compliance area, the push notification system in App P was released to manage suspicious transactions carried out with payment cards, replacing SMS. Finally, in the energy area, the TIM Energia sales model was expanded, extending the market -
ing of the Tim Energia offer to over 500 multi-brand stores, in addition to single-brand and digital channels.
Net working capital at 30 June 2026 amounted to €1,908 million and increased by €597 million compared to the end of 2025 mainly due to:
y+€510 million for changes in other assets and liabilities, mainly attributable to tax items of the Insurance Services SBU;
y+€306 million for trade items mainly resulting from the reduction in payables to suppliers;
y-€221 million for items relating to current taxes.
The balance of Provisions and Sundry Assets/Liabilities at 30 June 2026, is negative by approximately €848 million, down €289 million compared to 31 December 2025 (negative for €1,137 million), mainly due to net deferred tax assets and liabilities (+€189 million).
Equity at 30 June 2026 amounted to €13,804 million, a decrease of €193 million compared to 31 December 2025. This change is mainly attributable to:
ythe positive effect of the profit for the period of €1,355 million;
ythe negative effect from the distribution of dividends in the amount of €1,106 million (including the portion distributed by subsidiaries to shareholders outside the Group);
ythe net negative changes in the fair value reserve, net of the insurance contract reserve, for about €264 million and in the cash flow hedge reserve for about €169 million.

In light of the measures introduced by the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (NRRP), Poste Italiane, with the aim of contributing to the development of the population’s digital skills, is participating in the creation of a network of Digital Facilitation services. This initiative aims to strengthen citizens’ digital skills by promoting the autonomous, conscious and responsible use of technology, thereby facilitating access to online services for private individuals and the public administration. The aim is to make interaction between citizens and the Public Administration simpler and more effective. In particular, a dedicated workstation and a facilitator will be provided in the participating Post Offices to support members of the public in using digital services.
150. The Post Office classification model identifies four types of “master role”: Central, Relationship, Standard and Basic (divided into B and C, depending on the commercial focus and the volume of related operations). ÌThird-party Networks At the meeting held on 14 January 2026, the Company and the trade unions conducted an in-depth discussion on the newly established Third-Party Networks function and, in par -
ticular, provided an initial overview of the context and role of the new function.
ÌBusiness and Public Administration During the meeting of 14 January 2026 between the Company and the Trade Unions, an update was also provid -ed on the Digital Facilitation project149.

ly in relation to anti-money laundering, the PEAV (Pratiche Elettroniche di Adeguata Verifica - Electronic Customer Due Diligence Practices) application has been introduced in the Post Office network. This application makes it possible to check the consistency between a customer’s characteris -
tics and their transactions. This tool will also be progressively extended to Counter Operators and Sales Consultants. With regard to the Polis project , plans have been made to extend the passport application service to all Polis Post Offices.
The number of SISs (Infrastructure and Security Specialists) is also being increased by deploying personnel already assigned to the Post Office Network.
With regard to the development of the Sales structure for the Post Office Network Macro Area , in order to make the geographical structure more consistent with the organi -
sational structure of the central functions, a more custom -

ousness and good moral conduct.
ÌCorporate University
In the first half of 2026, the Corporate University was confirmed as a fundamental enabling element for the execution of the Group’s Strategic Plan, contributing to the development of key skills, the monitoring of regulatory areas and the support of the main innovation and transformation processes. In this context, the training activity stands out not only for its breadth, as evidenced by the more than 2.7 million hours provided at 30 June 2026, but above all for its ability to align with the strategic priorities of the busi -
ness and changes in the organisational context.
The focus on the adoption of Artificial Intelligence is con -
firmed: from the dissemination of basic knowledge, there has been a gradual transition to a phase of operational adoption and specialisation. In continuity with the LabAI Verticals programme , specialised training courses were created, developed in collaboration with the Polytechnic University of Milan, with a focus on the applications of AI in different con -
texts, such as Marketing, Logistics and Project Management.
In parallel, the dissemination and consolidation of skills on the Microsoft Copilot ecosystem continued, through digi -
tal training courses and microlearning initiatives, aimed at strengthening skills in the use of the tools and promoting their integration into daily work processes. These activities have helped to develop prompting skills and expand the use cases of generative AI in order to improve individual productivity.
Alongside the technological dimension, the Corporate University has continued to support the company’s commit -ment to promoting an organisational culture focused on inclu -
sion, well-being and sustainability. In the area of Diversity & Inclusion , courses were held aimed at promoting fairer and more inclusive recruitment practices, as well as aware -
ness-raising initiatives on specific issues. In support of the company’s activities and the people to whom they are ded -
icated, the new Poste Mondo Welfare 2026 online course was launched, accompanied by training activities in webinar mode, with the aim of promoting its full understanding and appreciation.
The issue of accessibility is also of particular importance, for which structured training courses have been launched for both content editors and developers, with the aim of dissem -
inating the principle of “accessibility by design” and ensuring compliance with the current regulatory framework.
For the managerial population , programmes dedicated to supporting the role and strengthening leadership (includ -
ing By Manager and Be Manager ) continue, alongside initiatives aimed at managerial staff with more established experience, such as Il Valore del Team , and the Blooming Program to support talent programmes. These courses are geared towards the development of key skills such as the ability to drive change, foster collaboration and gener -
ate value for the organisation, through experiential meth -
odologies and opportunities for discussion of external best practices.
Another area of great importance is compliance training, which covers the main regulatory areas including anti-mon -
ey laundering, management systems and integrated com -
pliance, privacy, physical security and occupational safety, helping to strengthen the culture of ethics and responsi -
bility within the Group. In particular, specific courses have

been developed for differentiated targets, with an approach increasingly oriented towards operations and concrete appli -
cation in business processes.
The training also stands out for its strong integration with business needs, through training initiatives designed to directly support the various functions. In the Post Office Network , training has accompanied the strengthening of advisory skills and compliance with regulatory requirements.
In the Mail, Communication and Logistics segment, courses were created dedicated to the introduction of new tools and operating models to support innovation and digi -
talisation processes. Similarly, in ICT and DTO, training sup -
ported the updating of skills in areas such as cloud comput -
ing, data analytics and cybersecurity.
At the same time, the development of specialist and cross-functional skills in the Corporate functions continues, with courses dedicated to both technical and regulatory areas and soft skills, such as communication, problem solv -
ing and conflict management, which are increasingly relevant in complex organisational contexts. To further strengthen the internal Faculty model, multi-level training courses were launched to enhance the role of internal trainers.
Finally, Education confirms its role through financial and dig -
ital education initiatives aimed at citizens, businesses and students, contributing to the positioning of Poste Italiane as a responsible and attentive player in the development of the country, with two new regional Financial Education tours, EDUFinTOUR Impresa (dedicated to small economic oper -
ators and sponsored by Unioncamere) and EDUFinTOUR Academy (dedicated to university students). In the field of Digital Education, an event was held at the Treccani head -
quarters in Rome dedicated to the topics of Agentic AI.

These provide management with a further tool for measuring the Group’s performance.
Please refer to the Annual Report for the main alternative performance indicators used:

This indicator is also shown separately for each Strategic Business Unit.
NON-CURRENT ASSETS : this indicator represents the sum of property, plant and equipment, intangible assets and invest -
ments measured using the equity method. This indicator is also shown separately for each Strategic Business Unit.
NET INVESTED CAPITAL : this indicator represents the sum of non-current assets and net working capital, deferred tax assets, deferred tax liabilities, provisions for risks and charges and severance pay. This indicator is also shown separately for each Strategic Business Unit.

tional regime.
CET 1 RATIO : this ratio measures the adequacy of Tier 1 capital with respect to the weighted exposure to Pillar 1 risks (oper -
ational, credit, counterparty and foreign exchange). It is the ratio of CET1 Capital to total Risk Weighted Assets (RWA).
PROTECTION COMBINED RATIO (net of reinsurance) : technical indicator of protection business, determined as the ratio of total costs incurred (claims and claims adjustment expenses, net reinsurance expenses, attributable/non-attributable oper -
ating expenses and other technical expenses and income) to gross insurance revenue.
GROSS FINANCIAL DEBT : determined as the sum of the nominal amount of the senior bonds, medium/long-term bank loans and the use of committed and uncommitted credit facilities for short-term loans, excluding secured loans (e.g. repur -

1. Introduction
The Condensed Consolidated Half-Year Financial Statements refer to the six months ended 30 June 2026, and have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 - Interim Financial Reporting and Article 154- ter (paragraph 3) of the Consolidated Law on Finance, as well as the provisions of Articles 2 and 3 of Legislative Decree no. 38/2005, on the assumption of the business continuity of the Parent Company Poste Italiane (hereinafter also “Poste Italiane”) and of the subsidiaries and consolidated companies, also taking into account the economic and financial prospects derived from the 2024-2028 Strategic Plan “The Connecting Platform” and updated with the 2026 Budget, respectively approved by the Board of Directors of Poste Italiane on 19 March 2024 and 25 February 2026.
The condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months ended 30 June 2026 include the accounts of Poste Italiane and its subsidiaries and have been prepared in euro, which is the functional presentation currency of the Parent Company. All amounts in the financial statements and the notes are shown in millions of euros and rounded (without decimal figures), unless stated otherwise. It follows that the sum of the rounded amounts may not coincide with the rounded totals.
The financial statements consolidated on a line-by-line basis have been specifically prepared at 30 June 2026, after appropri -
ate adjustment, where necessary, to align accounting policies with those of the Parent Company.
The Group’s activities are not significantly subject to seasonality and/or cyclicality.
The Condensed Consolidated Half-year Financial Statements are accompanied by the attestation of the Chief Executive Officer and the Financial Reporting Manager pursuant to article 154 -bis of Legislative Decree no. 58/1998 and is subject to a limited audit by the independent auditors Deloitte & Touche SpA.

Poste Italiane Group
2. Basis of preparation and significant accounting policies 2.1 Basis of presentation In application of the option granted by IAS 34 - Interim Financial Reporting , the information provided in said financial state -
ments are drafted in summary form and, therefore, do not include the complete information required by the annual financial statements, as they are intended to provide an update on the activities, events and circumstances occurred in the reference half – to the extent considered relevant – as well as certain minimum additional information required by said standard; for this reason, said document must be read together with the consolidated financial statements of the Poste Italiane Group at and for the year ended 31 December 2025.
The accounting standards and the recognition, measurement and classification criteria adopted, as well as the consolidation methods applied to these Condensed consolidated half-year financial statements are the same as those used for the prepara -
tion of the Consolidated Financial Statements at 31 December 2025, to which reference should be made for a more detailed discussion.
In these condensed consolidated half-year financial statements, the statement of financial position values are compared with those at the end of the previous financial year, while the statement of profit or loss values are compared with those at the end of the first half of 2025.
2.2 New accounting standards and interpretations Accounting standards and interpretations applicable from 1 January 2026 yAmendments to the Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments - Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 aimed at clarifying some of the problematic issues that emerged from the post-implementation review of IFRS 9, including the accounting treatment of financial assets whose returns vary when ESG objectives are met (i.e. green bonds).
Specifically, the changes made are intended to:
–clarify the classification of financial assets with variable returns linked to ESG objectives and the criteria to be used for the assessment of the SPPI test;
–determine that the settlement date of liabilities through electronic payment systems is the date on which the liability
is extinguished;
–introduce additional disclosure requirements with regard to investments in equity instruments designated at FVOCI.
yContracts Referencing Nature-dependent Electricity - Amendment to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 aimed at supporting entities in reporting the financial effects of contracts for the purchase of electricity generated from renewable sources (often structured as Power Purchase Agreements). On the basis of these contracts, the amount of electricity generated and pur -
chased can vary depending on uncontrollable factors such as weather conditions. The amendments include:
–clarification regarding the application of the “own use” requirements to this type of contract;
–criteria for allowing such contracts to be accounted for as hedging instruments; and, –new disclosure requirements to enable users of financial statements to understand the effect of these contracts on an entity’s financial performance and cash flows.
yAnnual Improvements Volume 11 . The document includes clarifications, simplifications, corrections and changes, not significant, aimed at improving the consistency of various IFRS Accounting Standards. The modified standards are:
–IFRS 1 First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards;
–IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures and Related Guidance on the Implementation of IFRS 7;
155
CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED HALF-YEAR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AT 30 JUNE 2026
2. Basis of preparation and significant accounting policies
–IFRS 9 Financial Instruments;
–IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements; and –IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows.
The adoption of the above amendments did not have any significant impact for the purposes of this consolidated Interim Report.
Accounting standards and interpretations soon to be effective From 1 January 2027, IFRS 18 - Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements will come into force, replacing IAS 1 - Presentation of Financial Statements with the aim of improving the presentation of the financial statement formats, with particular reference to the Statement of profit or loss format, for which it is required to classify revenue and costs into three categories (operating, investment and financial sections), in addition to the categories of taxes and discontinued operations;
as well as to present new mandatory sub-totals. The new standard will also require:
ymore information on the performance indicators defined by management;
ynew criteria for the aggregation and disaggregation of information; and, y changes to the format of the Statement of Cash Flows, including the requirement to use the operating result as a starting point for the presentation of the aforementioned statement prepared under the indirect method and the elimination of cer -
tain classification options for currently existing items (such as interest paid, interest received, dividends paid and dividends received).
In the first six months of the year, the project launched in 2025 with the support of external professionals continued, with the aim of identifying the impacts that the new provisions of IFRS 18 will have on the financial statements and notes to the financial statements of Poste Italiane SpA and the Poste Italiane Group, while monitoring:
ythe transposition of the requirements into the relevant regulations by Authorities (including the Bank of Italy and IVASS);
ythe ongoing discussions at the IFRS Interpretations Committee;
yany guidance from ESMA.
The first-time adoption of the standard for the Poste Italiane Group will concern the Quarterly Report at 31 March 2027, with an impact on the comparative data at 31 March 2026.
The Group has not arranged for the early adoption of any standards, interpretations or amendments that have been issued but are not yet in force.
At present, the following accounting standards and amendments have also been issued by the IASB but not yet endorsed by the European Commission:
yIFRS 19 - Subsidiaries without Public Accountability: Disclosures , made available by the IASB for voluntary appli -
cation, introduces simplifications and reductions in the disclosures to be made in the notes to the financial statements of a subsidiary. To apply it to its financial statements, the subsidiary:
a. must not have “Public Accountability”, i.e. it does not have financial instruments listed or circulated to the public, and does not hold assets in a fiduciary capacity for a large group of external parties (e.g. banks, insurance companies, finan -
cial intermediaries);
b. must be controlled by a group that prepares consolidated financial statements in accordance with IAS/IFRS.
yAmendments to IAS 21 The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates: Translation to a Hyperinflationary Presentation Currency, which clarifies the conversion procedures for an entity whose presentation currency is that of a hyperinflationary economy. Entry into force of the amendments is currently scheduled for 1 January 2027.
yIFRS 20 - Regulatory Assets and Regulatory Liabilities , governs the accounting of assets and liabilities for companies subject to tariff regulation. The entry into force of this new standard is currently scheduled for 1 January 2029.
yAmendments to the Fair Value Option in IAS 28 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures , which clarifies which investments in associates and joint ventures can be measured on the basis of the Fair Value Option provided by IAS 28. The amendments are currently scheduled to enter into force on 1 January 2027.
156INTERIM REPORT AT 30 JUNE 2026
Poste Italiane Group
2.3 Use of estimates In preparing this Interim Report, a more extensive use of estimation methods was made compared to the annual reporting, which also takes into account the macroeconomic and geopolitical uncertainty arising from ongoing conflicts (such as the conflict between Russia and Ukraine and between the United States, Israel and Iran).
Described below are the accounting treatments for which there have been changes in estimates from those used for the 2025 Annual Report, to which reference is made for a full discussion. As regards instead income taxes, in accordance with IAS 34, they have been recognised based on the best estimate of the weighted average tax rate expected for the full year 2026.
Impairment tests of goodwill, cash generating units and equity
investments
In compliance with the provisions of IAS 36 - Impairment of Assets , as the qualitative/quantitative analysis conducted on internal and external information sources did not reveal any elements that would suggest the need to perform a new test, the impairment tests on the value of goodwill and other non-current assets were not performed at the reporting date of these consolidated interim financial statements.
In particular, an update of the assessment of the impairment indicators was carried out, considering both internal factors, such as the economic and financial performance compared to the Plan/Budget forecasts and the results of the previous period; and external factors attributable to the evolution of the macroeconomic and geopolitical context and the volatility of the financial markets, including the effects on interest rate levels and, consequently, on the assessment parameters used in the preparation of the tests themselves.
The analysis carried out showed that, also in consideration of the wide margin by which the impairment tests for the 2025 financial year were passed, the uncertainty related to the volatility of the financial markets and the persistence of international geopolitical tensions does not entail significant impacts on the expected cash flows of the Poste Italiane Group, nor does it determine the presence of indicators that would require the performance of new impairment tests at 30 June 2026.
Impairment and stage allocation for financial instruments For calculating the impairment of financial instruments and for determining the stage allocation, the main factors estimated by the Poste Italiane Group, relating to the internal model developed for Sovereign, Banking and Corporate counterparties, are
as follows:
yrating per counterparty;
yProbability of Default “PD” for counterparty.
During the first half of the year, the Poste Italiane Group updated the rating and PDs of its Sovereign, Banking and Corporate counterparties. With particular reference to the Sovereign model, the new forecast scenarios of the International Monetary Fund for the 2026 financial year were used; these new scenarios led to a slight increase in the PD of Italy and the other Sovereign counterparties compared to those used in the assessments of the 2025 Annual Report, to which reference is made for a detailed description of the inputs and assumptions used to calculate the expected loss and the staging allocation.

CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED HALF-YEAR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AT 30 JUNE 2026
2. Basis of preparation and significant accounting policies
Employee termination benefits The measurement of Employee termination benefits is also based on calculations performed by independent actuaries. The calculation takes account of termination benefits accrued for the period of service to date and is based on various demograph -
ic and economic-financial assumptions.
The demographic technical bases did not change during the six months under review, while the economic-financial technical bases applied in the calculation of the employee termination benefits at 30 June 2026 were as follows:
Economic and financial assumptions 30.06.2026 Discount rate 3.42% Inflation rate 2.00% Annual rate of increase of employee termination benefits 3.00% Conversion of the financial statements into foreign currencies The financial statements of companies that operate in a functional currency other than the euro are translated into the pres -
entation currency using the closing rate at the reporting date for assets and liabilities, including goodwill and consolidation adjustments, and the average exchange rate for the period (if this reasonably approximates the exchange rate at the date of the respective transactions) for revenue and costs. All the resulting exchange rate differences are recognised in other compre -
hensive income and shown separately in a specific equity reserve; this reserve is reversed proportionally to the statement of profit or loss at the time of the (total or partial) disposal of the relative investment.
The exchange rates used to convert the financial statements of consolidated companies in foreign currencies are those pub -
lished by the Bank of Italy and the European Central Bank and presented in the table below:
Currency2026 2025
Exact exchange rate on 30 JuneAverage exchange rate 1HExact exchange rate on 31 DecemberAverage exchange rate 1H Chinese Yuan Renminbi 7.731 8.007 8.226 7.924 US dollar 1.139 1.167 1.175 1.093 British Pound Sterling 0.862 0.867 0.873 0.842 yMacroeconomic and geopolitical context The macroeconomic and financial context in which the Group operates continues to be characterised by elements of uncer -
tainty related to the evolution of inflation, monetary policies and interest rates, as well as the persistent framework of interna -
tional geopolitical tension and the dynamics of global trade.
During the half-year, geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, with particular reference to the conflict involving the United States, Israel and Iran, led to a temporary increase in the volatility of financial markets and energy commodity prices. Subsequently, the progressive launch of diplomatic initiatives and the downscaling of hostilities contributed to a partial normalisation of the markets, although a situation characterised by significant elements of uncertainty and geopolitical risk remained.
In accordance with ESMA communications, the Group analysed the effects of said dynamics on its financial position, results of operations, and cash flows, as well as on the main estimates and assumptions used in preparing the financial statements.
Based on the analyses performed, including the verifications conducted pursuant to IAS 36, no significant impacts or evidence of impairment of the assets recognised in the financial statements emerged as of the reporting date of this financial report.
The Group will continue to monitor the evolution of the geopolitical and macroeconomic scenario, with particular attention to developments in the Middle East, financial markets and energy price trends, assessing the potential effects that any new ten -
sions or changes in the environment could have in future reporting periods.

2026
3.1 Principal corporate actions and changes to the scope of consolidation
yPagoPA
At its meeting of 12 November 2025, the Board of Directors of Poste Italiane SpA resolved to exercise its option right to pur -
chase a 49% investment in the share capital of PagoPA SpA (“pagoPA”), offered by the Ministry of the Economy and Finance, pursuant to Legislative Decree no. 19/2024, converted with amendments by Law no. 56 of 29 April 2024. The remaining 51% of PagoPA’s share capital, in line with the same legislation, is acquired by the Istituto Poligrafico e Zecca dello Stato.
The transaction is expected to close by the third quarter of 2026, following the authorisation from the Italian Antitrust Authority, to which it was communicated pursuant to the regulations on the control of concentrations between companies.
yPolo Strategico Nazionale On 16 June 2026, Poste Italiane SpA signed a purchase and sale agreement aimed at acquiring a 20% stake in the share capital of Polo Strategico Nazionale SpA (“PSN”), held by CDP Equity SpA (“CDPE”). PSN is the company established as part of the “Cloud Italy Strategy” and the National Recovery and Resilience Plan, with the mission of designing, implementing and managing a cloud infrastructure with high reliability, security and localisation throughout the country, intended for the provision of digital services to the Public Administration. The transaction is aimed at strengthening the Poste Italiane Group’s positioning in the digital infrastructure and cloud services sector in support of the Public Administration. The closing of the transaction, expected by the end of 2026, is subject to the fulfilment of the conditions precedent provided for in the contract.
yPatrimonio Italia Logistica SICAF SpA externally managed During the first half of 2026, the process of enhancing the value of Poste Italiane’s logistics real estate assets, which began in 2025 with the establishment of the externally managed company Patrimonio Italia Logistica - SICAF SpA (‘SICAF’) and the Development Fund called Sviluppo Italia Logistica 1 (‘SIL 1’), continued.
As part of this initiative, on 26 February 2026, a further capital increase of the SICAF was completed, aimed both at meeting the financial needs of the SIL 1 Fund and at continuing the process of strengthening and enhancing the transferred property portfolio. The capital increase was carried out through the contribution of a further 7 properties and a cash contribution of approximately €18 million by Poste Italiane, as well as a payment of approximately €1 million by DeA Capital. Following the capital increase, the share capital of the SICAF is therefore broken down as follows: Poste Italiane SpA: 96.69% and DeA Capital: 3.31%.
yTelecom Italia SpA On 22 March 2026, the Board of Directors of Poste Italiane approved the launch of a voluntary total takeover and exchange bid (“OPAS”) for 21,357,258,195 TIM ordinary shares, representing the total number of ordinary shares, including the treas -
ury shares held by TIM, net of the shares held by Poste Italiane following the conversion of the savings shares equal to 4,293,639,902 (the “Transaction”).
159
CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED HALF-YEAR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AT 30 JUNE 2026
3. Material events during the period and events after 30 June 2026
The consideration to be paid by Poste Italiane to TIM shareholders who accept the Bid will consist of (i) a cash component of €0.167 for each TIM share accepted under the OPAS, and (ii) a share component of 0.0218 newly issued Poste Italiane ordinary shares for each TIM share accepted under the OPAS.
The total consideration for the Transaction (the sum of the cash component and the share component), amounting to €10.8 billion based on the official price of Poste shares at 20 March 2026, represents a valuation of €0.635 per TIM share and, there -
fore, includes a premium of 9.01% over the official price of TIM shares at 20 March 2026.
The objective of the OPAS is to acquire the entire share capital of TIM and to delist TIM shares from Euronext Milan.
On 28 January 2026, the TIM shareholders’ meeting and the special meeting of savings shareholders approved the proposal to convert TIM savings shares into ordinary shares based on a conversion ratio of 1 ordinary share for each savings share held, plus a cash adjustment of €0.12, or the mandatory conversion of savings shares that have not been subject to optional conversion, based on the same conversion ratio and with a cash adjustment of €0.04. Following the conversion, which was fully executed in May 2026, Poste Italiane holds a 20.104% stake in the share capital of TIM.
On 15 June 2026, TIM, as announced on 10 June 2026, following the resolution of the Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting of 15 April 2026, proceeded to consolidate the 21,357,258,195 existing TIM ordinary shares, without any express indication of nominal value, into 2,135,725,819 newly issued TIM ordinary shares, also without any express indication of nominal value, with the same characteristics as the existing ordinary shares, in the ratio of 1 new ordinary share for every 10 existing ordinary shares. As a result of the reverse split, the offer consideration was adjusted to take this corporate transaction into account, while the economic substance of the offer itself remained unchanged. Therefore, for each share accepted under the bid, Poste will offer the Consideration consisting of the following components:
ythe Cash component of €1.67, and ythe Share component of 0.218 newly issued Poste shares.
The total consideration represents a post-consolidation valuation of €6.35 per TIM share.
On 18 June 2026, the Shareholders’ Meeting of Poste granted the Board of Directors the power, pursuant to Article 2443 of the Italian Civil Code, to increase the share capital with the exclusion of the option right pursuant to Article 2441, paragraph 4, of the Italian Civil Code, for a fee, in a divisible manner and also in several tranches, which will be reserved for subscription by the participants and to be paid up by means of (and against) the contribution in kind of the TIM shares tendered for acceptance of the offer.
On 7 July 2026, the Board of Directors of Poste Italiane exercised the mandate conferred by the Poste Italiane’s Meeting of 18 June 2026, resolving on a paid-up capital increase, including in several tranches, to be subscribed by 31 December 2026, for a maximum total nominal amount of €371,986,879, plus share premium, through the issue of a maximum number of 371,986,879 ordinary shares, to be paid up by contribution in kind, to service the OPAS for TIM shares.
Subsequently, on 15 July 2026, Consob approved, pursuant to Article 102, paragraph 4, of the Consolidated Law on Finance, the Offer Document; the acceptance period will begin on 20 July 2026 and end on 11 September 2026.
For further details on the Transaction, please refer to the documentation published in the dedicated section of the Poste Italiane’s corporate website concerning the Voluntary Total Takeover and Exchange Bid for Telecom Italia SpA.
yFinancit SpA
On 4 June 2026, the 40% stake held in Financit was sold to BNL, which was already the majority shareholder of the company with a 60% stake, for a total amount of €22 million, including the dividend that Financit paid on 22 May, amounting to €4 million for the Poste Italiane SpA share.
yMLK Fresh S.r.l.
On 3 June, the 30% stake held by Mazzocco in MLK Fresh Srl, now 100% owned by Poste Italiane SpA, was acquired for a consideration of €240 thousand.

yDeposits with the MEF , for €11,547 million (€11,119 million at 31 December 2025), including public customers’ postal current account deposits, which earn a variable rate of return, calculated on a basket of government bonds155. The increase in deposits of €429 million was mainly due to the typical operations of some customers in the Public Administration, which generated an increase in deposits from postal current accounts.
yThe balance of the MEF account held at the Treasury at 30 June 2026 was positive by €493 million as a result of changes in cash flows for advances mainly from INPS for the payment of pensions (negative balance of €6,662 million at 31 December 2025).
yOther financial receivables mainly relating to guarantee deposits156 for €673 million and to the liquidity reserve at CC&G intended to cover any intra-day margin calls for €411 million.
The item fixed income instruments is comprised of government bonds held by BancoPosta RFC and securities guaranteed by the Italian government, having a nominal value of €31,901 million. The carrying amount of €31,291 million, shown net of the related impairment provision of €15 million (€13 million at 31 December 2025), consists of non-hedged securities in the amount of €17,985 million and fair value hedged securities in the amount of €13,306 million157. The increase recorded during the period is mainly due to the positive change in the hedged component resulting from the trend in the medium/long-term interest rate curve and from the greater purchases made during the year compared to sales/repayments.
At 30 June 2026, the fair value of these securities is €31,033 million158.
Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income The increase in this item is mainly due to purchases net of sales and redemptions (positive value of €329 million) and positive fair value fluctuation of €206 million, of which:
yrecognised in the appropriate equity reserve for the portion not hedged by fair value hedge instruments for a negative amount of €242 million;
yrecognised in the statement of profit or loss for the hedged portion in the positive amount of €448 million.
Accumulated impairments at 30 June 2026 amount to €18 million (€15 million at 31 December 2025).
155. The variable rate in question is calculated as follows: 35% is based on the average return on 6-month BOTs recognised monthly and the remaining 65% is based on the average ten-year BTP return recognised monthly.
156. Related to amounts paid to counterparties for repurchase agreements on fixed income instruments (collateral provided for by specific Global Master Repurchase Agreements), to the CC&G, to counterparties for interest rate swap transactions (collateral provided for by specific Credit Support Annexes) and amounts paid as collateral under clearing systems with central counterparties for over-the-counter derivatives transactions.
157. Value expressed net of negative hedging effects totalling €1,989 million (€2,362 million in 2025).
158. In terms of the fair value hierarchy, which reflects the relevance of the sources used to measure assets, €27,616 million of the total amount qualifies for inclusion in Level 1 and €3,417 million for inclusion in Level 2.

est rate swap fair value hedges, which hedge securities classified at amortised cost with a nominal value of €14,407 million and securities classified at FVTOCI with a nominal value of €14,556 million. The change is primarily due to the decrease in fair value resulting from the change in the interest rate curve, the early termination of active interest rate swaps without the sale of the underlying security, and the settlement of differentials during the period. In addition, the change in this item reflects, for €291 million, the decrease in interest rate swap cash flow hedges, mainly due to the dynamics of interest and inflation rates and the conclusion of hedging transactions on aggregate positions in the fair value hedge portfolio, in order to mitigate the risk associated with variable yields.

Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income Fixed income instruments relate primarily to investments held by Poste Vita SpA for a fair value of €107,894 million (nominal value of €117,408 million) represented by instruments issued by countries and leading European companies. These securities are mainly used to hedge Separately managed accounts. The item also includes bonds issued by CDP , with a fair value of €127 million.
The item recorded an overall negative change of €1,258 million, mainly due to net divestments made in the period for €1,495 million and the negative change in fair value for the period equal to €28 million (of which a portion of €24 million is reflected in the corresponding change in insurance liabilities). Accumulated impairment at 30 June 2026 amounts to approximately €46 million, almost entirely reflected in insurance liabilities (about €38 million at 31 December 2025).
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss The item mainly concerns:
yFixed income instruments amounted to €26,389 million, mainly relating to securities held by UCITS funds.

pany Poste Vita (€3 million). The item recorded an overall positive change of €3,596 million, primarily due to net investments made during the period of €2,284 million and a positive change in fair value of €1,263 million; this effect contributed almost entirely to the revaluation of insurance liabilities.
159. In terms of the fair value hierarchy, which reflects the relevance of the sources used to conduct the measurements, €1,958 million of the total amount qualifies for inclusion in Level 1, €56 million for inclusion in Level 2 and €2 million in Level 3.
160. In addition to the amounts indicated above, the total covering the Separately Managed Accounts also includes the value of net assets held by UCITS funds (of which Poste Vita owns 100% of the units and which are consolidated on a line-by-line basis) totalling €19,714 million (equal to the total NAV of the same).

Furthermore, in early July 2026, the Presidency of the Cabinet Office paid the Publishing Industry tariff supplements relating to the 2025 financial year, totalling €31 million.
The increase in due from the parent company MEF mainly relates to universal service fees for revenue accrued in the peri -
od May-June 2026 and not yet collected, pending approval by the EU Commission, deriving from the new service contract between the Ministry of Enterprise and Made in Italy and Poste Italiane SpA, signed on 29 April 2026, effective from 1 May 2026 to 31 December 2031.

In particular, substitute tax paid increased due to advances of withholding and substitute tax on capital gains on life insurance policies and receivables for stamp duty accrued for recovery from holders of Class III and V insurance policies and for advances paid to the tax authorities for stamp duty to be paid virtually in 2026 and 2027 by the Parent Company, partly offset by the reduction in receivables for stamp duty on interest-bearing postal certificates.
In addition, during the first half of 2026, there was a reduction in Interest income receivables on IRES reimbursement, following the collection of an amount of €35 million resulting from the favourable conclusion of the dispute, pursuant to Law Decree no.
201/2011, at the Provincial Tax Commission of Rome.
The balance of the Provisions for doubtful receivables due from others is approximately €111 million. The increase of €2 million compared to 31 December 2025 is attributable to provisions made during the period.

Financial liabilities decreased by a total of €418 million, of which €824 million related to financial liabilities at amortised cost,
mainly for:
ythe overall increase in deposits in postal current accounts of €6,816 million, mainly attributable to increased public inflows, including advance payments from INPS for pension payments in July 2026 and higher private inflows;
ythe balance of the MEF account held at the Treasury , which at 30 June 2026 shows a positive balance resulting from the remittances advanced by INPS for the payment of pensions in July 2026;
ythe decrease of €1,147 million in other liabilities mainly for guarantee deposits for amounts received from counterparties for interest rate swap transactions (collateral provided for by specific Credit Support Annexes) and amounts received from counterparties for repo transactions (collateral provided for by specific Global Master Repurchase Agreements) as a result of the shift in the medium/long-term interest rate curve.

The change during the period is mainly attributable to the negative effects deriving from the distribution of dividends for €1,106 million (including the portion distributed by subsidiaries to third-party shareholders), net investments in fixed assets for €519 million, changes in working capital and current and deferred taxes for approximately €693 million, and the negative valuation effects for the period of €585 million related to investments classified as FVTOCI. These effects were partially offset by the positive effects deriving from the operating cash flow of €1,702 million.
An analysis of the Net debt/(funds) of the Mail, Parcels and Distribution segment at 30 June 2026, in accordance with ESMA recommendation 32-382-1138, is provided below:

It is also noted that, of the total costs for raw materials, supplies, consumables, and goods, about €3 million refers to costs incurred during the reporting period by PostePay SpA and Poste Air Cargo SpA for the purchase of environmental certificates related to the performance of their respective activities.

This change is attributable to the increase in unit cost, mainly related to the increases provided for in the national collective labour agreement signed on 23 July 2024 and in the performance-related bonus agreement signed on 8 July 2025, partially offset by the reduction in the average headcount.
In addition, in order to reflect the economic substance of the transaction relating to the Phantom Stock Option plan described in Note 9 “Additional information”, and the entering into of a management hedge derivative, the effects deriving from the meas -
urement of the fair value of the derivative, as well as the flows exchanged during the period with the counterparty, for a total of approximately €12 million, have been included in the item “Other personnel expenses/(cost recoveries)” as they are qualified as being of an operational nature and strictly related to the management of the risk deriving from the new incentive plan.

Therefore, based on the new information available, for the year 2026, in the absence of a progressive obligation, the cost for the contribution of BancoPosta and the Poste Vita Group is not allocated pro rata during the year, but will be charged in full at the end of the year (when the event giving rise to the obligation occurs).

4.4 Operating segments The identified operating segments, which are in line with the Group’s strategic guidelines, are as follows:
yMail, Parcels and Distribution;
yFinancial Services;
yInsurance Services;
yPostepay Services.
The result for each segment is based on operating profit/(loss) and gains/losses on intermediation.
In order to provide an understanding of the energy business, included in the Postepay Services operating segment, according to an approach based on the net interest and other banking income, since the Group is not an energy producer, the values shown with an asterisk include a management reclassification that provides for the presentation of revenue related to the ener -
gy business net of costs related to the purchase of raw materials and the transport of electricity and gas. Therefore, values that deviate from the accounting data are specially marked and reconciled with the figures in the accounting statements.
The following results, which are shown separately in accordance with the management view and with applicable accounting standards, should be read in light of the integration of the services offered by the distribution network within the businesses allocated to all four identified operating segments, also considering the obligation to carry out the Universal Postal Service.
It should be noted that over the coming months, following the planned internal reorganisation that involves the creation of a Financial Hub by integrating the payments business with financial services, and the voluntary total takeover and exchange bid (OPAS) launched by Poste Italiane for TIM, which is expected to be finalised by the end of the third quarter of the year, the Group will be engaged in redefining the methods of valuation and representation of the businesses within the new operating segments. The current 4 Strategic Business Units will be replaced by 3 Strategic Business Units represented by a sector ded -
icated to mail, parcel and logistics services and the distribution network, a financial and insurance services hub and, subject to the completion of the takeover and exchange bid for TIM, an SBU that will combine connectivity and technology, including telecommunications and energy services.

5. Fair value of financial
instruments
164. Given the nature of Poste Italiane Group’s operations, the observable data used as input to determine the fair value of the various instruments include, for example, quoted prices provided by third parties (pricing or brokerage services), yield and inflation curves, exchange rates provided by the European Central Bank, ranges of rate volatility, inflation option premiums, interest rate swap spreads or credit default spreads which represent the creditworthiness of specific counterparties and any liquidity adjustments quoted by primary market counterparties.5.1 Fair value measurement techniques In accordance with IFRS 13 - Fair value measurement , the assets and liabilities recognised at fair value, as well as the assets and liabilities recognised at cost or amortised cost for which the fair value is provided in the notes to the financial statements, are classified on the basis of a hierarchical scale that reflects the relevance of the sources used in making the valuations. The hierarchy consists of the following 3 levels.
Level 1 : this level is comprised of fair values determined with reference to unadjusted prices quoted in active markets for identical assets or liabilities to which the entity has access on the measurement date.
Level 2 : this level is comprised of fair values based on inputs other than Level 1 quoted market prices that are either directly or indirectly observable for the asset or liability164.
Level 3 : this category includes the fair value measurement of assets and liabilities using inputs which cannot be observed, in addition to Level 2 inputs.
The techniques adopted at 30 June 2026 for measuring the fair value of financial instruments did not change significantly com -
pared to 31 December 2025; therefore, please refer to the 2024 Annual Report for a complete discussion.
Finally, it should be noted that the fair value of the management derivative entered into during the half-year on the PSO plan was determined on the basis of the contractual elements provided for, in line with the methodologies applied for similar financial instruments.

In the case of Poste Vita, instruments in level 3 regard funds that invest primarily in unquoted instruments, whose fair value measurement is based on the latest available NAV (Net Asset Value) as announced by the fund manager. This NAV is adjusted according to the capital calls and reimbursements announced by the managers and occurring between the latest NAV date and the measurement date. These financial instruments primarily consist of investments in private equity funds and, to a lesser extent, real estate funds associated entirely with Class I products related to separately managed accounts. Movements during the period regard the purchase of new investments, redemptions of units of unquoted close-end funds and changes in fair value during the period.
At 30 June 2026, in compliance with both the aforementioned fair value guidelines of the Poste Italiane Group and additional requirements contained in the additional guidelines for the Poste Vita Insurance Group, with reference to the category in ques -
tion, approximately €1,393 million of financial instruments were reclassified from level 1 and 2 fair value to level 3 fair value, referring mainly to corporate bonds which, at the measurement date, do not respect the necessary liquidity requirements.

authorities
Contingent liabilities
In accordance with the provisions of IAS 37 - Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets, the following disclosures refer to contingent liabilities; at 30 June 2026, there were 89 judicial and extra-judicial disputes pending for which the risk of losing the case is assessed as possible. The total amount claimed is approximately €57 million, plus penalties and interest calculated on the basis of current legislation. The main outstanding disputes, of an individually insignificant amount, relate to litigation brought by third parties in various capacities.
It should be noted that the Group, in view of the number of disputes brought by third parties, makes an assessment on a probabilistic historical basis, for cases with individually non-significant claims, reflected in the provisions for risks and charges.
Main proceedings pending with the authorities Autorità Garante della Concorrenza e del Mercato (AGCM - the Italian Antitrust Authority) On 22 April 2024, the Italian Antitrust Authority (“AGCM” or “Authority”) notified Poste Italiane of the notice of initiation of proceeding PS/12768 and the simultaneous request for information, in relation to certain anti-fraud messages that holders of BancoPosta and PostePay accounts, who use the services through the relevant Apps (installed on Android devices), allegedly received when accessing them, starting from the first days of April. According to the AGCM, the Company’s conduct would constitute an aggressive or in any case unfair commercial practice, in that users would be “induced” to allow access to their data in a situation of undue conditioning, since failure to consent - after three accesses - would preclude them from continu -
ing to use BancoPosta and PostePay services via the App. On 13 May 2024, Poste Italiane sent the AGCM a memorandum in which it replied to the request for information and to the objections contained in the writ. On 6 June 2024, the Company filed the integration of the previous defence memorandum and the commitment form containing the initiatives it undertakes to implement (subject to integration/amendment), on a voluntary basis, aimed at eliminating the Authority’s alleged critical issues, without lending acquiescence to the objections raised in the proceedings. Some of the commitments presented were subsequently implemented by the Company, which, on 18 July 2024, replied to the second request for information on certain aspects that had emerged during the technical hearing with the Authority held on 18 June 2024 (e.g. on the subject of Bank of Italy controls and indications and the results of anti-fraud activities). On 10 September 2024, the Authority communicated to Poste Italiane the rejection of the commitments, deeming them “unsuitable to remedy the aspects of possible unfairness subject to investigation, insofar as they consist for the most part in merely informative measures, as such not responding to the critical issues contested at the time of the opening of the proceedings relating to the elements of aggressiveness, or in any case not resolving the objections formulated” and extending the deadline for the conclusion of the proceedings by 60 days (18 November 2024). On 26 September 2024, the Authority sent a further request for information to which Poste Italiane replied on 17 October. On 11 November 2024, Poste Italiane filed a request to reopen the sub-proceedings for the assessment of commitments and a simultaneous proposal of commitments. On 18 December 2024, the Authority rejected the request and the proposed commitment, justifying its decision with the interest in proceeding with the investigation of the possible infringe -
ment. On 26 May 2025, the Authority notified Poste Italiane of closure order no. 31566, ruling that the commercial practice adopted by the Company constituted an unfair commercial practice pursuant to Articles 20, 24 and 25 of the Consumer Code,
210INTERIM REPORT AT 30 JUNE 2026
Poste Italiane Group
imposing an administrative fine of €4 million, instead of the €6 million initially set. The Authority recognised “the mitigating cir -
cumstance of voluntary compliance, as the Company reported that, as of 18 February 2025, it had adopted a series of correc -
tive and restorative measures, providing for interventions to protect consumers affected by the block and allowing even those who had already given their consent to access their data to confirm/revoke their choice”. On 7 August 2025, the Company filed an appeal with the Lazio Regional Administrative Court for the annulment of the AGCM measure, alleging substantial and procedural defects and reiterating the lawfulness of its conduct. On 6 November 2025, the Company paid the fine. Following the public hearing on the merits, held on 28 January 2026, the Lazio Regional Administrative Court, with ruling no. 1906 of 2 February 2026, upheld Poste Italiane’s appeal, thereby annulling the measures challenged therein. On 1 May 2026, the AGCM filed an appeal before the Council of State against the first instance ruling. Poste Italiane, by a document filed on 27 May 2026, appeared before the court requesting the rejection of the appeal and reiterating the grounds raised at first instance. The public hearing is set for 4 March 2027.
By means of an appeal notified on 7 November 2025, Iliad Italia SpA challenged measure no. 31664 of 3 September 2025, by which the AGCM decided not to initiate Phase II of the preliminary investigation into the merger C12726 - Poste Italiane/ Telecom Italia , together with the preliminary acts, and also filed an application for precautionary suspension. Poste Italiane appeared in court on 17 November 2025, arguing that the appeal and the precautionary application were inadmissible and unfounded. The AGCM, as the respondent administration, appeared in court on 18 November 2025, requesting the dismissal of the appeal and the precautionary application. On 26 November 2025, the Council Chamber was held, in which Iliad with -
drew its precautionary application, requesting that a hearing on the merits be held shortly. Following the hearing on the merits, held on 11 March 2026, the case was adjourned for decision. The Lazio Regional Administrative Court, with ruling no. 10695 of 10 June 2026, rejected the appeal, considering that the contested measure is the result of a considered exercise of the Authority’s technical-discretionary power and does not present the profiles of illogicality and misrepresentation alleged by Iliad.
On 9 August 2022, the AGCM – as a result of proceedings PS/11936 (“Proceeding”) – notified PostePay of measure no.
30286 (“Measure”), in which it criticised the conduct of the Company, claiming that, for mobile telephony offers subscribed to at a flat fee, PostePay charges a consumption-based fee – more expensive than the ordinary one – when it is impossible to periodically renew the offer due to lack of sufficient credit “in order to guarantee the continuity of the service” without adequate information and without, therefore, a prior and informed consent of the consumer. Therefore, in the Authority’s view, the con -
duct engaged in by PostePay would constitute a breach of Article 26, paragraph 1, letter f) of the Consumer Code.
As a result, the Company was ordered to pay an administrative fine.
Due, inter alia, to the partial and insufficient acknowledgement of the measures adopted by the Company, the refusal to examine the further measures proposed and the failure to accept the defence petitions submitted, the Company deemed it appropriate to lodge an appeal against the Measure before the Lazio Regional Administrative Court with an appeal filed on 28 October 2022. Therefore, the payment of the fine imposed was made by PostePay with express reservation of appeal and, in the event, of repayment of the amount paid in the event of annulment (total or partial) of the Measure by the Lazio Regional Administrative Court and/or the Council of State. The purpose of the appeal before the Lazio Regional Administrative Court is to obtain (i) as a preliminary step, the annulment of the measure, (ii) in the alternative, the annulment of the fine imposed or (iii) in the further alternative, its reduction to the minimum amount.
On 7 November 2022, PostePay, without acquiescing to the Order and pending the proceedings before the Lazio Regional Administrative Court, forwarded to the AGCM the required compliance report, which the Authority subsequently acknowledged.
At the outcome of the hearing held on 27 May 2026, in ruling no. 10126/26, the Lazio-Rome Regional Administrative Court rejected the appeal filed by PostePay, upholding the measure issued by the AGCM and ordering the Company to pay the court costs in favour of the Authority.
In particular, the Administrative Judge considered the Authority’s assessments to be legitimate, both with regard to the qualifi -
cation of the Company’s conduct as an unfair commercial practice and with regard to the procedural aspects, the rejection of the commitments and the proportionality of the sanction imposed.
Assessments are currently underway as to whether to appeal against ruling no. 10126/26 before the Council of State, the deadline for which, in the absence of notification of the ruling, will expire on 2 October 2026.

6. Contingent liabilities and main proceedings pending with the authorities
Garante per la protezione dei dati personali (the Italian Data
Protection Authority)
On 16 April 2024, the Italian Data Protection Authority (GPDP) opened a preliminary investigation with a request for information in relation to the same event that led to the initiation of proceedings PS/12768 of AGCM, i.e. the anti-fraud messages received by BancoPosta and PostePay account holders, who use the services through the relevant apps installed on their Android devic -
es, when accessing them from the first days of April 2024. After several requests for information and related responses, the last of which was sent in January 2025, aimed at presenting to the GPDP both the regulatory basis and information regarding the processing of personal data by the BancoPosta and PostePay apps for anti-fraud purposes, on 2 April 2025, the Authority sent its conclusions to Poste Italiane and PostePay (the “Companies”), notifying it of a violation of Article 166, paragraph 5, of Legislative Decree no. 196 of 30 June 2003 (Personal Data Protection Code - “Code”) and Article 58, paragraph 1 lett. d) of Regulation (EU) 2016/679. On 2 May 2025, pursuant to Article 166, paragraphs 6 and 7 of the Code, Article 18, paragraph 1 of Law 689/1981 in relation to the notification of the violation referred to in Article 166, paragraph 5 of the Code and Article 58, paragraph 1, lett. d) of Regulation (EU) 2016/679, the Companies sent their defence observations to the Authority, in which they highlighted that the request for authorisation from the data subjects was motivated by technical requirements imposed by the Android operating system for the activation of the anti-malware features of the ThreatMetrix application. Likewise, the use of the tool proved to be fully compliant with Article 6 of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), as it was essential for compliance with payment security obligations and, more generally, with Article 32 of the Regulation. The data processing notices, prepared since the start of the Apps in compliance with Articles 12 et seq. of the GDPR, were made even more detailed following the Authority’s suggestions. It was emphasised that the data protection measures by design and by default (as per Articles 25 and 35 of the GDPR) were correctly implemented. Following the submission of their defence observations to the Authority, Poste Italiane and PostePay, through their representatives, held a hearing with the Authority during which further evidence was presented, with particular reference to the favourable opinion expressed by the Bank of Italy regarding the imple -
mentation of the anti-malware solution described above. One year after the notice of objection was sent, the GPDP adopted injunction order no. 237 of 17 April 2026, notified on 20 April 2026, imposing fines of €6.6 million on Poste Italiane and €5.9 million on PostePay, as well as ordering corrective measures, which were implemented by the Companies as a precautionary measure without any acquiescence with respect to the objections raised. On 18 May 2026, Poste Italiane and PostePay filed an appeal before the Ordinary Civil Court of Rome for the annulment of the injunction order, subject to the suspension of its enforceability, if necessary subject to the presentation of a surety policy. In support of the appeal, the Companies put forward multiple grounds of illegality of the injunction order, objecting in a preliminary ruling to its lateness for breach of the time limits for the conclusion of the sanctioning procedure, as well as on the merits to the non-existent and unproven unlawfulness of the processing of usage data. In light of the above, the Companies initiated a phase of further consolidation of the compliance measures already adopted in the course of the proceedings. The measure in question entails a comprehensive reassessment of the processing model, with a particular focus on accountability, proportionality and transparency vis-à-vis data subjects.
In light of this reassessment, a structured process was undertaken to analyse privacy safeguards, with the aim of confirming that the model complies with the Authority’s requirements. The hearing for the preliminary ruling has been set for 17 July 2026.

Autorità per le Garanzie nelle Comunicazioni (AGCOM - the Italian
Communications Authority)
On 17 December 2025, with Objection 23/25/DSP , the AGCom initiated a sanctioning procedure for the alleged breach of the obligation of continuity connected with the provision of the universal service, enshrined in Article 3, paragraphs 6 and 8, of Legislative Decree no. 261/1999, in relation to the failure to deliver, on the grounds of force majeure, 231 universal mail items described, entrusted to the Presidio Decentrato Distribuzione di Santo Stefano di Cadore, in the period between 9 December 2024 and 9 January 2025. For each mailing, the Authority identified an autonomous breach of the continuity obligation pun -
ishable under Article 21 of Legislative Decree no. 261/1999. On 19 December 2025, Poste Italiane formalised a request for access to the documents, with an annexed request for a suspension of the time limit for the submission of the defence brief.
These requests were granted by the Authority in subsequent communications of 9 and 14 January 2026. On 12 February 2026, the Company submitted its final statement, requesting that the proceedings be closed. On 1 June 2026, with Resolution 107/26/CONS, Poste Italiane was notified of the sanction measure, by which the Authority: i) imposed an administrative fine of €0.3 million; ii) warned the Company to adopt all corrective and internal control measures, to be submitted to the Authority, aimed at preventing the recurrence of similar violations, with the warning that failure to comply with this warning would result in the initiation of sanction proceedings. On 19 June 2026, the response to the formal notice was sent and on 1 July 2026, in compliance with the aforementioned Resolution, Poste Italiane paid the fine and informed the Authority thereof, specifying that the payment was made without prejudice to the right to repayment and without the response and payment being deemed to constitute acquiescence to the objections raised in the measure, or acknowledgement of their validity and/or waiver of the exercise of any right, action, objection, defence or remedy recognised by law. The Company’s appeal before the Lazio Regional Administrative Court is being prepared.
IVASS
The inspection initiated by the Supervisory Authority against Poste Vita on 7 October 2025, aimed at verifying the data in the Consolidated Financial Statements at 31 December 2024, prepared in accordance with international accounting standards, with particular reference to the criteria for the recognition, measurement and presentation of insurance contracts pursuant to IFRS 17, was concluded on 16 December 2025.
At the meeting of the Board of Directors on 23 June 2026, the Supervisory Authority presented the results of the inspection, expressing a partially favourable opinion on the IFRS 17 framework adopted by the Poste Vita Group. The Company has therefore initiated the necessary analysis and evaluation of the observations received and is currently engaged in preparing its own assessments in relation to the findings made and the reinforcement measures already initiated or planned, which will be submitted to the Authority within the prescribed deadlines.

Share-based payment arrangements Phantom Stock Option (PSO) long-term incentive plan The Shareholders’ Meeting of Poste Italiane of 27 April 2026, in addition to the 2026-2028 Performance Share LTIP and the 2026 MBO incentive plans, approved a new long-term incentive plan called the 2026-2028 three-year Phantom Stock Option LTIP (PSO) . The plan constitutes a cash-settled incentive scheme based on financial instruments, with the award to beneficiaries of Phantom Stock Options whose value is linked to the trend of performance parameters defined by the Group.
This plan falls within the scope of cash-settled share-based payments and generates the progressive recognition of the related cost during the vesting period, offset by a liability to employees, with periodic updating of the instrument’s fair value.

REPORT ON REVIEW OF THE HALF -YEARLY CONDENSED
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
To the Shareholders of Poste Italiane S.p.A.
Introduction
We have reviewed the accompanying half -yearly condensed consolidated financial statements of Poste Italiane S.p.A. and its subsidiaries (the “Poste Italiane Group”), which comprise the consolidated statement of financial position as of June 30, 202 6, the consolidated statement of profit or loss, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity, the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the six month period then ended and the related note s. The Directors are responsible for the preparation of the half -yearly condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with the International Accounting Standard applicable to the interim financial reporting (IAS 34) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board and adopted by the European Union. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half -yearly condensed consolidated financial statements based on our review.
Scope of Review
We conducted our review in accordance with the criteria recommended by the Italian Regulatory Commission for Companies and the Stock Exchange (“Consob”) for the review of the half -yearly financial statements under Resolution n° 10867 of July 31, 1997. A re view of half -yearly condensed consolidated financial statements consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scop e than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISA Italia) and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
