SIGNIFICANT EVENTS DURING THE PERIOD
Acquisitions & Divestments
Prysmian completed ACSM acquisition On February 10, 2026, Prysmian announced that it had completed the acquisition of ACSM, a leading provider of submarine cable installation solutions and route planning and seabed preparation services, as announced in January 2026.
Following completion, ACSM has been consolidated on a line -by-line basis in Prysmian’s accounts with effect from February 2026 .
The transaction value is €169 million (after factoring in €24 million in capex for a vessel delivered to ACSM in Q4 2025), subject to a customary adjustment mechanism based on ACSM’s net debt, working capital and capex. The transaction multiple based on the 2024 results is 6.6X EV/EBITDA €€. The transaction will be financed using available cash.
This acquisition will strengthen Prysmian's global leadership in submarine cables. Integrating ACSM will broaden Prysmian's range of solutions for energy and telecom customers as a one -stop shop and accelerate the full vertical integration of its submarine activities, bringing in -house industry know -how and assets.
ACSM, based in Vigo (Spain), has been operating for over 20 years across 60 countries, has more than 350 employees and a track record of hundreds of completed subsea operations . ACSM reported €62 million in revenues in 2024 and EBITDA of €22 million, with net debt of €14.4 million as of December 31, 2024.
New contract awards and other contract -related information Prysmian signed contract for delivery of the Eastern Green Link 4 On February 2, 2026, Prysmian announced that it had signed a contract with the owners of the UK’s national grid, SP Energy Networks' transmission business and National Grid Electricity Transmission Plc, for delivery of the Eastern Green Link 4 (EGL4), a su bsea electricity link.
Prysmian had been selected as the preferred bidder for the project in September 2025.
The contract is worth over €2.3 billion and will now enter Prysmian's backlog of projects.
Eastern Green Link 4 is a new HVDC electricity link that will connect Fife in Scotland with Norfolk in England.

It is one of five similar projects being d eveloped that will significantly increase the UK’s capacity to move power between Scotland and England .
PRYSMIAN | DIRECTORS' REPORT
8 Prysmian signed framework agreement with Enedis to modernize the French power grid On February 13, 2026, Prysmian announced that it had signed a contract with Enedis worth up to €550 million to become its sole supplier of the full range of MV cables over the next seven years (2026 -2032), including three optional years.
Prysmian is a long -standing partner of Enedis, and signature of this agreement further solidifies Prysmian's French manufacturing excellence with its commitment to supply cables from its production sites in Gron (Yonne) and Montereau -Fault -Yonne (Seine -et-Marne).
Prysmian and Enedis share a common commitment to accelerating the adoption of circular business practices, starting with the use of recycled materials - including critical materials such as base metals - and to reducing carbon emissions throughout the grid thanks to renewabl e energy. Enedis's investment includes specialized cables that can easily integrate into the grid, helping maximize renewable energy adoption in a simple, efficient and cost -effective manner, while bringing down overall carbon emissions - an area in which France is already a European leader. All this is fully in line with Prysmian's strategic ambition to achieve Net Zero Scope 3 emissions by 2035.
As part of its "Accelerating Growth" strategic plan, Prysmian is working to achieve over 55% of its revenues from sustainable solutions by 2028, with this agreement promoting the adoption of circular solutions in cables. Prysmian will use over 12% recycled aluminum and over 30% recycled copper in its cables, as well as recycled polyethylene for the protective jacket, comprising the cable’s outer sheath.
Prysmian concluded framework agreement with Alliander to strengthen the Dutch power
grid
On March 5, 2026, Prysmian announced that it had concluded a framework agreement with Alliander for the supply of MV and LV power cables for use in development and modernization of the Dutch power grid. The award covers an eight -year period and could be wo rth up to approximately €500 million.
Prysmian was selected to partner Alliander in the coming years as the Netherlands expands, reinforces and future -proofs its electricity distribution network, whilst also integrating renewable energy sources into the grid.
Prysmian receives the Notice to Proceed for the Italy -Tunisia electrical interconnector On June 22, 2026, Prysmian announced that it has received from Terna, the Italian transmission operator, and STEG the Tunisian electricity grid and gas operator, the NTP for the construction of the submarine power interconnection between Italy and Tunisia, ELMED.
The value of the contract is about €460 million and will now be included in Prysmian’s backlog of projects.
PRYSMIAN | DIRECTORS' REPORT
9 Further details can be found in the communication made at the time of the award, in September 2025.
Prysmian secures framework agreement in Greece for island connections On June 22, 2026, Prysmian announced that it has been awarded a framework agreement with the Greek electricity grid operator IPTO (Independent Power Transmission Operator) for a value of around €910 million for the development of electrical interconnection s for the Dodecanese and North Aegean islands in Greece.
The project will support energy infrastructure in Greece and will bring significant benefits to the islands and the national -economy overall thanks to the greater reliability and enhanced efficiency in the country's national grid.
Under the framework agreement, Prysmian will design, manufacture and install submarine and land -based cables for "Lot B" comprising seven projects totaling over 900 km of HVAC (High Voltage Alternating Current) cables, with final delivery of this critical infrastructure expected in 2033, and reaching water depths of up to 1,150 meters and setting a new record depth for a static three -core HVAC cables.
Prysmian has previously worked with IPTO to deliver several successful projects including Cyclades Islands interconnections (Evia, Andros and Tinos, and Syros -Lavrio), the Crete -Attica and the Crete -Peloponnese, where Prysmian set the previous record depth in the HVAC (High Voltage Alternating Current) field, installing cables at approximately 960 meters under the sea.
The signing of the framework agreement is subject to customary statutory conditions and regulatory clearances, and its execution is conditional upon the issuance of a notice to proceed by the customer.
Prysmian: Transpower issues Notice to Proceed for Cook Strait HVDC link upgrade On June 30, 2026, Prysmian announced that has received the Notice to Proceed (NTP) for the Cook Strait HVDC Link Upgrade from Transpower New Zealand, marking the full activation of the project’s delivery. It will now be included in Prysmian’s Backlog of pr ojects.
The NTP follows the successful completion of preparation activity, as previously outlined.
The Cook Strait HVDC link is a critical asset for New Zealand’s transmission system, enabling the efficient transfer of energy between the South and North Islands and strengthening the reliability of New Zealand's national grid.
PRYSMIAN | DIRECTORS' REPORT
10 Other significant events Prysmian took next step in increasing the power in affordable submarine cables On March 2, 2026, Prysmian announced that it had completed testing and is ready to launch the new global standard for HVDC submarine cable systems, qualifying the use of 525kV submarine power cables at increased operating temperatures of up to 90°C.
This breakthrough, which is founded on the higher withstand temperature of the cable plastic insulation while operating, means that the maximum power that can be transmitted through a single 525kV link increases from today's standard of 2GW to 2.5GW – and this power can already be deployed in the existing HVDC network infrastructure, with no impacts on the rest of the system.
Prysmian’s Sirocco Ultra cables boosted efficiency for high density broadband, data centers and 5G rollout On March 4, 2026, Prysmian announced that it had launched a new cable solution, the Sirocco Ultra, the first microduct cable featuring 160µm optical fiber. The cable will be an essential component in data center, Fiber -to-the-x and 5G applications that dep end on high -density data transfer.
Prysmian created the world’s first negative -carbon -footprint cable On March 24, 2026, Prysmian announced that it had created the world’s first ever negative -
carbon -footprint cable, a significant breakthrough in reducing carbon emissions. This assessment uses a cradle -to-gate approach, meaning the cable’s sourcing and manufacturing processes remove more carbon emissions than they release, delivering a real positive climate benefit.
Prysmian will now begin the process of putting the technology into production across its global manufacturing footprint to supply its Power Grid Customers. The technology is patent pending, ensuring Prysmian’s leadership in development of the most advanced cable solutions.

Net financial debt amounted to € 4,079 million as of June 30, 2026, down € 615 million from the corresponding figure of €4, 694 million reported as of June 31, 2025. The reduction was mainly driven by net free operating cash flow of €978 million, generated in the last twelve months ended June 30, 2026, cash in flow of €109 million from non -ordinary disposals of fixed assets, as well as €471 million mainly related to the cash in flow from the sale of the stake in YOFC offset by the cash out flow of € 328 million for acquisitions , €268 million in dividends paid and €52 million in interest expense on the hybrid bond .
Net free operating cash flow was generated by:

ALTERNATIVE PERFORMANCE MEASURES
In addition to the standard financial reporting formats and in dicators required by IFRS, this document contains a number of reclassified statements and alternative performance measures to enable a better appreciation of Prysmian's business performance. These reclassified statements and alternative performance measure s should not, however , be treated as substitutes for the accepted ones required by IFRS.
In this regard, on December 3, 2015, Consob adopted the ESMA guidelines in Italy with publication of "ESMA Guidelines/2015/1415". These have superseded "CESR Recommendation 2005 (CESR/05 -
178b)". The alternative performance measures have therefore been revised in light of these guidelines.
The alternative performance measures used in reviewing the income statement are described
below :
• EBITDA : operating income before changes in the fair value of commodities derivatives and in other fair value items and before amortization, depreciation and impairment. The purpose of this measure is to present Prysmian's operating profitability before the main non -monetary items;
• Adjusted EBITDA : EBITDA as defined above, calculated before income and expenses for business reorganization2, before non -recurring items3, as presented in the consolidated income statement, and before other non -operating income and expenses4. The purpose of this measure is to present Prysmian's operating profitability before the main non -
monetary items, without the effects of events considered to be outside its recurring
operations;
• Organic growth : growth in revenues calculated net of changes in the scope of consolidation, changes in metal prices and exchange rate effects ;
2 Income and expense for business reorganization: th is refer s to income and expense that arise as a result of the closure of production facilities and/or as a result of projects designed to optimise the organisational structure;
3 Non -recurring income and expense: th is refer s to income and expense related to unusual events that have not affected profit or loss in past periods and are not likely to affect the results in future periods;
4 Other non -operating income and expense: th is refer s to income and expense that management considers should not be taken into account when measuring business performance.
PRYSMIAN | DIRECTORS' REPORT
32 • Revenues determined at standard metal prices : revenues have been determined by taking standard metal prices into account. Standard metal prices are defined as follows:
standard copper price of €5,500 per ton; standard aluminum price of €1,500 per ton;
standard lead price of €2,000 per ton. Standard metal prices are kept at a constant value over a number of periods to improve the comparability of sales and Adjusted EBITDA margin over time. In this way, fluctuations in metal prices are neutralized over time f rom a reporting perspective.
The alternative measures used in reviewing the reclassified statement of financial position
include:
• Net fixed assets: the sum of the following items contained in the statement of financial
position:
- Intangible assets
- Property, plant and equipment
- Equity -accounted investments
- Other investments at fair value through other comprehensive income
- Assets held for sale (excluding financial assets and financial liabilities held for sale)
• Net working capital: the sum of the following items contained in the statement of
financial position:
- Inventories
- Trade receivables
- Trade payables
- Other non -current receivables and payables, net of long -term financial receivables classified in net financial debt
- Other current receivables and payables, net of short -term financial receivables classified in net financial debt
- Contract assets and liabilities
- Derivatives, net of interest rate and forex hedges of financial transactions classified in net financial debt
- Direct tax assets and liabilities
- Current assets and liabilities held for sale included in net working capital
• Net operating working capital : net working capital, as defined above, net of derivatives not classified in net financial debt and direct tax assets/liabilities.
PRYSMIAN | DIRECTORS' REPORT
33 • Provisions and net deferred tax assets or liabilities: the sum of the following items contained in the statement of financial position:
- Provisions for risks and charges – current portion
- Provisions for risks and charges – non -current portion
- Provisions for deferred tax liabilities
- Deferred tax assets
• Net invested capital: the sum of net fixed assets, net working capital and provisions.
• Employee benefit obligations and Total equity: these indicators correspond to employee benefit obligations and total equity reported in the statement of financial position.
• Net financial debt: the sum of the following items:
- Bank and other borrowings – non -current portion;
- Bank and other borrowings – current portion;
- Derivatives on financial transactions recognized as non -current derivatives and classified under long -term financial receivables;
- Derivatives on financial transactions recognized as current derivatives and classified under short -term financial receivables;
- Derivatives on financial transactions recognized as non -current derivatives and classified under long -term financial liabilities;
- Derivatives on financial transactions recognized as current derivatives and classified under short -term financial liabilities;
- Medium/long -term financial receivables recorded in other non -current receivables;
- Loan arrangement fees recorded in other non -current receivables;
- Short -term financial receivables recorded in other current receivables;
- Short -term financial payables recorded in other current payables;

- Financial assets at amortized cost;
- Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss;
- Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income;

- change in provisions (including those for employee benefit obligations);
- net gains on disposal of fixed assets;
- share of net profit/(loss) of equity -accounted companies;
- changes in net working capital;
- taxes paid;
- dividends received from equity -accounted companies;
- cash from acquisitions and/or divestments;
- net cash used for investment in operating assets;
- net finance costs.
• Levered free cash flow excluding acquisitions and/or divestments and antitrust -
related payments/receipts: this is determined by stripping out any acquisitions and/or divestments and/or net cash flow from equity -accounted companies and any antitrust -
related payments/receipts occurring during the period from levered free cash flow.

BUSINESS OUTLOOK
Prysmian upgrades the 2026 guidance based on its strong track record of delivery across all business segments, to become:
o Adjusted EBITDA in the range of €2,800 million to €2,900 million previously €2,625 million to €2,775 million o Free Cash Flow in the range of €1,650 million to €1,750 million previously €1,300 million to €1,400 million o Sustainability -linked Revenues expected in the range of 47% to 49% of total Group
Revenues
This guidance assumes no escalation in the current geopolitical situation and excludes extreme dynamics in the prices of production factors and significant supply chain disruptions. Forecasts are based on the Company’s business perimeter (also including the acquisition of Xtera), the current EUR/USD exchange rate for the assumption of the second half of year, and do not include impacts on cash flows related to antitrust issues.
In addition, Prysmian confirms that it is well -positioned to accelerate beyond its 2028 targets and will hold a Capital Markets Day within the first half of 2027 to update the market on its strategy and medium -term targets.
PRYSMIAN | DIRECTORS' REPORT

FORESEEABLE RISKS FOR 2026
In the normal conduct of its business, Prysmian is exposed to a number of financial and non -
financial risks which, if they should occur, could also have a material impact on its results of operations and financial condition.
Prysmian has always acted to maximize shareholder value, taking all the necessary measures to prevent or mitigate the risks inherent in its business. This is why it adopts specific procedures to manage the risks that could influence its results.
Given the Group’s operating performance in the first six months of the year and the specific macroeconomic context, these risks do not appear to differ from those described in the Integrated Annual Report 2025 to which, therefore, reference should be made.
With specific reference to the further developments in the macroeconomic and geopolitical environment during the first months of 2026, and in particular to Iran’s involvement in the Middle East conflict and the resulting supply chain tensions, no significa nt impacts were identified on the key estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of the financial information compared with those already reflected in the consolidated financial statements as of 31 December 2025.
No indicators of impairment of non -financial assets emerged, nor were any significant effects recorded in terms of expected credit losses or inventory write -downs.
The Group’s operating performance in the first months of 2026 has been better than expected, allowing management to revise upward its guidance for 2026, based on the solid results achieved across all business segments.
The tariff measures introduced by the U.S. Administration during 2025, together with subsequent developments in 2026, have not had a material impact on the Group's operating performance to date and have not resulted in any significant effects on the measur ement or presentation of these financial statements. The Group continues to monitor tariff developments and their potential implications for its operations, supply chain and end markets, and will take appropriate mitigating actions as necessary.

A.1 SIGNIFICANT EVENTS IN THE FIRST HALF OF 202 6
Significant events in the period are reviewed in the Directors' Report in the section "SIGNIFICANT EVENTS DURING THE PERIOD".
B. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The Condensed Consolidated Half -year Financial Statement s included in the Half -year Financial Report have been prepared on a going concern basis, since the Directors have assessed that there are no financial, operating or other kind of indicators that might provide evidence of Prysmian's inability to meet its obligations in the foreseeable future and par ticularly in the next 12 months.
The information contained in these Explanatory Notes should be read in conjunction with the Directors' Report, an integral part of the Half -year Financial Report , and with the Consolidated Financial Statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025, prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards ( IFRS ) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board and adopted by the European Union .
All the amounts shown in Prysmian's financial statements are expressed in millions of euros, unless otherwise stated.

B.1 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND DISCLOSURES
Prysmian has elected to present its income statement according to the nature of expenses, whereas assets and liabilities in the statement of financial position are classified as current or non -
current. The statement of cash flows has been prepared using the indirect method.
Prysmian has prepared the Condensed Consolidated Half -year Financial Statement s as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2026 in accordance with art. 154 -ter of Legislative Decree 58/1998 and the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and endorsed by the European Union, and in compliance with IAS 34 – Inte rim Financial Reporting . The same accounting standards and policies used in preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025 have been applied as of and for the period ended June 30, 2026 .
In preparing the Condensed Consolidated Half -year Financial Statement s, management made judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the value of revenues, costs, assets and liabilities at the reporting date. These estimates may differ from the actual results or events in the future. In line with the methods used to prepare the Consolidated Financial Statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025 estimation processes have taken into account, where material, the effects of the macroeconomic scenario and climate risks. Certain valuation processes, particularly m ore complex ones, such as the determination of any fixed asset impairment, are only conducted fully at the time of preparation of the annual consolidated financial statements when all the necessary information is available. It should be noted that, during the first six months of 2026, no impairment indicators were identified, considering both external and internal sources of information. The market capitalization as of June 30, 2026 amounted to more than €43 billion and was therefore significantly higher th an the carrying amount of shareholders’ equity.
B.2 ACCOUNTING S TANDARDS
Accounting standards used in the prepar ation of the Condensed Consolidated Half -year
Financial Statements
The basis of consolidation, the methods used to translate financial statements into the presentation currency, the accounting standards , estimates and policies adopted are the same as those used for the Consolidated Financial Statements as of and for the year ended D ecember 31, 2025, to which reference should be made for more details . Income taxes are an exception, as they are recognized using the best estimate of Prysmian’s expected full -year weighted average tax rate.
As in the Consolidated Financial Statements for 2025, the Indian company Ravin Cables Limited is not under Prysmian's control for the reasons described in more detail below.
PRYSMIAN | PROSPETTI CONTABILI CONSOLIDATI E NOTE ILLUSTRATIVE
47 Ravin Cables Limited In January 2010, Prysmian acquired a 51% interest in the Indian company , Ravin Cables Limited ("Ravin"), with the remaining 49% held by other shareholders directly or indirectly associated with the Karia family (the "Local Shareholders"). Under the agreements signed with the Local Shareholders, after a limited transition perio d, management of Ravin would be transferred to a Chief Executive Officer appointed by Prysmian. However, this did not happen and, in breach of the agreements, Ravin's management remained in the hands of the Local Shareholders and their representatives. Con sequently, having lost control, Prysmian ceased to consolidate Ravin and its subsidiary , Power Plus Cable Co. LLC. , with effect from April 1, 2012. In February 2012, Prysmian was forced to initiate arbitration proceedings before the London Court of International Arbitration (LCIA), requesting that the Local Shareholders be declared in breach of contract and ordered to sell the shares representing 49% of Ravin's share capital to Pr ysmian. In a ruling handed down in April 2017, the LCIA upheld Prysmian’s clai ms and ordered the Local Shareholders to sell the shares representing 49% of Ravin’s share capital to Prysmian. However, the Local Shareholders did not voluntarily enforce the arbitration award and so Prysmian had to initiate proceedings in the Indian cour ts to have the arbitration award recognized in India. Having gone through two levels of the court system, the proceedings were finally concluded on February 13, 2020 with the pronouncement of a ruling by the Indian Supreme Court , under which the latter finally declared the arbitration award enforceable in India. In view of the continuing failure of the Local Shareholders to comply voluntarily, Prysmian has requested the Mumbai court to enforce the arbitration award so as to purchase the shares representing 49% of Ravin's share capital as soon as possible. In February 2025, the Mumbai Court issued a judgment by which, upholding Prysmian’s claims, it ordered enforcement of the sale to Prysmian of the shares representing 49% of Ravin’s share capital and the app ointment of Prysmian’s representatives to Ravin’s Board of Directors. However, as of today, neither of these two events has yet taken place, and therefore, in substance, the situation remains unchanged . As a result, control of the company is deemed to have not yet been acquired.
Accounting standards, amendments and interpretations applied from January 1, 2026 The following is a list of new standards, interpretations and amendments whose application became mandatory from January 1, 2026 but which have not been found to have had a material impact on the Condensed Consolidated Half -year Financial Statements as of June 30, 2026:

C. RESTATEMENT OF COMPARATIVE FIGURES
The consolidated statemen t of financial position as of December 31, 2025 and the consolidated income statement for the six month ended June 30, 2025, forming part of the Consolidated Financial Statements presented in the current Condensed Half-year Report for comparative purposes, ha ve been restated with respect to the originall y published figures following completion of the process of accounting for the Channell Group business combination.

D. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
Prysmian's activities are exposed to various types of risk: market risk (including exchange rate, interest rate and price risks), credit risk and liquidity risk.
The Half -year Financial Report does not contain all the information about the financial risks described in the Integrated Annual Report as of December 31, 2025, to which reference should be made for a more detailed description .
With reference to the risks described in the Integrated Annual Report as of December 202 5, there have been no material changes in the types of risks to which Prysmian is exposed or in its policies for managing such risks . For information on geopolitical risks, reference should be made to the Directors' Report included in this Half -Year Financial Report .
E. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
IFRS 13 requires assets and liabilities recogni zed in the statement of financial position at fair value to be classified according to a hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in measuring fair value.
Financial instruments are classified according to the following fair value hierarchy:
Level 1 : Fair value is determined with reference to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical financial instruments. Therefore, the emphasis within Level 1 is on determining both of the following:
a. the principal market for the asset or liability or, in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market for the asset or liability; and b. whether the entity can enter into a transaction for the asset or liability at the price in that market at the measurement date.
Level 2 : Fair value is determined using valuation techniques where the input is based on observable market data. The inputs for this level include:
a. quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets;
b. quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active;
c. inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, for example:
i. interest rate and yield curves observable at commonly quoted intervals;
ii. implied volatilities;
iii. credit spreads;
d. market -corroborated inputs.
Level 3 : Fair value is determined using valuation techniques where the input is not based on observable market data.

Financial liabilities at fair value:
Derivatives at FVPL - 14 - 14 CFH derivatives - 60 - 60 Total liabilities - 74 - 74
Financial assets classified in fair value Level 3 have not undergone significant movements in the period.
Given the short -term nature of trade receivables and trade payables, their carrying amounts, net of any allowances for impairment, are treated as a good approximation of fair value.
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss of €75 million, classified in fair value Level 1, refer mainly to funds in which Brazilian subsidiaries have temporarily invested their liquidity.
Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income of €11 million, classified in fair value Level 1, refer mainly to Italian government bonds.
During the first six months of 202 6 there were no transfers of financial assets and liabilities between the different levels of the fair value hierarchy.
F. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
Channell Commercial Corporation On June 10, 2025, Prysmian acquired control of Channell Commercial Corporation. For accounting purposes, the acquisition date was retrospectively adjusted to June 1, 2025.
The consideration transferred at closing amounted to €878 million (USD1,001 million). This amount was subsequently subject to a contractual adjustment of €11 million (USD13 million), of which €6 million (USD8 million) was paid in December 2025. In December 2025, an additional €172 million (USD200 million) was paid in relation to the contractual earn -out, corresponding to the maximum amount agreed under the contract.
Costs directly attributable to the acquisition amounted to approximately €6 million, before tax effects, with a related tax effect of approximately €1 million. These costs were recognized in the income statement for 2025 under “ Other expenses”.
PRYSMIAN | CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED HALF -YEAR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
56 The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the acquired net assets has been recognized as goodwill amounting to €493 million. This goodwill is mainly attributable to the earnings accretion expected to result from integration of the company into the Group, including benefits arising from anticipated synergies once fully achieved, and the yet to be recognized additional value of the net assets.

Intangible assets include customer relationships amounting to €403 million, patents amounting to €14 million and concessions, licenses, trademarks and similar rights amounting to €12 million.
All tangible assets have a finite useful life.
ACSM
As described in the section “Significant events during the period” included in the Directors’ Report, Prysmian acquired control of ACSM on February 10, 2026 .
The purchase consideration amounted to €148 million, of which €13 million was paid in 2025 and €135 million was paid in 2026. The purchase consideration may be subject to adjustments, as provided for in the purchase agreement.
PRYSMIAN | CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED HALF -YEAR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
57 The assets and liabilities of ACSM have been measured on a provisional basis given that , as of the date of this report , the main measurement procedures have not yet been complet ed. In accordance with IFRS 3, the fair value s of the assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities may be subject to final adjustment within twelve months of the acquisition date.
The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired has been provisionally recognized as goodwill and, as permitted by IFRS 3, quantified as €104 million. This goodwill is main ly attributable to the earnings accretion expected to result from integration of the company into the Group, including benefits from anticipated synergies once fully achieved, and the yet to be recognized additional value of the net assets acquired .
Details of the net assets acquired and the goodwill recognized are provided below:

Alesea
As described in “Significant Events During the period” in the Directors’ Report, Prysmian obtained control of Alesea Srl on February 12, 2026 .
The consideration paid at closing was not significant in amount. The consolidation of Alesea resulted in the recognition of other income of €25 million, relating both to the remeasurement of the previously held equity interests and to a gain arising from the exercise of a call option, as well as the recognition of goodwill of €22 million. This goodwill is mainly attributable to earnings accretion expe cted to result from integration of the company into the Group, including benefits from anticipated synergies once fully achieved, and the yet to be recognized additional value of the net assets acquired.

G. SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Group's operating segments are:
- Transmission, including the identifiable CGUs High Voltage Direct Current, Network Components High Voltage, Submarine Power, Submarine Telecom, Offshore Specialties and EOSS High Voltage businesses ;
- Power Grid , where the smallest identifiable CGUs are Regions/Countries depending on the specific organi zation ;
- Electrification , where the smallest identifiable CGUs coincide with Regions/Countries depending on the specific organi zation;
- Digital Solutions , wh ere the smallest CGU is the operating segment itself .
Segment information is structured in the same way as the report periodically prepared for the purpose of reviewing business performance. This management report presents operating performance by macro type of business (Transmission, Power Grid, Electrificat ion and Digital Solutions), and the results of operating segments primarily on the basis of Adjusted EBITDA, defined as earnings (loss) for the period before income and expense s considered non -recurring, non -operating or related to business reorganizations , the change in the fair value of commodities derivatives and in other fair value items, amorti zation, depreciation and impairment, finance costs and income and taxes.
All corporate fixed costs are allocated to the Transmission, Power Grid, Electrification and Digital Solutions segments. Revenues and costs are allocated to each operating segment by identifying all directly attributable revenues and costs and allocating the re lated indirect costs.
Group operating activities are organized and managed separately according to the nature of the products and services provided: each segment offers different products and services to different markets. Revenues from the sale of goods and services are analyzed geographically on the basis of the location of the registered office of the company that issues the invoices, regardless of the geographic destination of the products sold. All transfer prices are set using the same conditions applied to other transacti ons between Group companies and are generally determined by applying a mark -up on production costs.

Antitrust - European Commission investigation of the high -voltage underground and submarine
cables sector
In late January 2009 , the European Commission began an investigation in late January 2009 into a number of European and Asian power cable manufacturers to verify the existence of alleged
PRYSMIAN | CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED HALF -YEAR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
75 anti-competitive practices in the high -voltage underground and submarine cables markets. The investigation resulted in a European Commission decision, subsequently upheld by the European courts, that found Prysmian Cavi e Sistemi Srl ("Prysmian CS") jointly liable with Pirelli & C. SpA ("Pirelli") for the alleged infringement in the period from February 18, 1999 to July 28, 2005, and Prysmian Cavi e Sistemi Srl jointly liable with Prysmian SpA ("Prysmian") and The Goldman Sachs Group Inc. ("Goldman Sachs") for the alleged infringement in the period from July 29, 2005 to January 28, 2009. Following the conclusion of this case, Prysmian paid the European Commission its share of the related fine within th e prescribed term, using provisions previously made .
Likewise in the case of General Cable, the European courts confirmed the content of the European Commission's decision of April 2014, thus definitively upholding the fine levied against it under this decision. As a result, Prysmian proceeded to pay the related fine.
In November 2014 and October 2019 , respectively, Pirelli filed two civil actions, since combined, against Prysmian CS and Prysmian in the Court of Milan, seeking (i) to be held harmless from any claim brought by the European Commission in enforcement of its decision and for any expenses incidental to such enforcement; (ii) to be held harmless from any third -party claims for damages relating to the conduct forming the subject of the European Commission's decision and (iii) to be compensated for the damages a llegedly suffered and quantified as a result of Prysmian CS and Prysmian having requested, in certain pending legal actions, that Pirelli be held liable for the unlawful conduct found by the European Commission in the period from 1999 to 2005. As part of the same proceedings, Prysmian CS and Prysmian, in addition to requesting full dismissal of the claims brought by Pirelli, filed symmetrical and opposing counterclaims to those of Pirelli in which they sought (i) to be held harmless from any claim brought b y the European Commission in enforcement of its decision and for any expenses incidental to such enforcement; (ii) to be held harmless from any third -party claims for damages relating to the conduct forming the subject of the European Commission's decision and (iii) to be compensated for damages suffered as a result of the legal actions brought by Pirelli. In a ruling dated May 13, 2024, the Court entirely dismissed all of the claims brought by Pirelli and partially upheld the claims brought by Prysmian. Pi relli has appealed the ruling, reiterating its claims and requesting a full review. The Court of Appeal, in its judgment of March 12, 2026, fully upheld the outcome of the first ‑instance decision. On 8 June 2026, Pirelli filed an appeal with the Italian Supreme Court (Court of Cassation) against the Court of Appeal's judgment
In view of the circumstances described and the developments in the related proceedings, and with the support of their legal advisors, the Directors have recognized provisions in the financial statements that they consider adequate to cover the potential liabilities associated with the matters described .

76 Antitrust - Claims for damages ensuing from the European Commission's 2014 decision In early 2017, operators belonging to the Vattenfall Group filed claims in the High Court of London against a number of cable manufacturers, including companies in the Prysmian Group, to obtain compensation for damages purportedly suffered as a result of the alleged anti -competitive practices sanctioned by the European Commission. In June 2020, the Prysmian companies conce rned presented their defense as well as serving a summons on another party to whom the EU decision was addressed. In July 2022, an agreement was reached for an out -of-court settlement of claims against the Prysmian companies concerned. However, the legal proceedings brought by the Prysmian companies against the other party to whom the EU decision was addressed are ongoing .
On April 2, 2019, a writ of summons was served, on behalf of Terna SpA, on Pirelli, Nexans and companies in the Prysmian Group, demanding compensation for damages purportedly suffered as a result of the alleged anti -competitive practices sanctioned by the European Commission in its April 2014 decision. This action has been brought before the Court of Milan. On October 24, 2019, the Prysmian Group companies concerned responded by presenting their preliminary defense. In an order dated February 3, 2020, the C ourt upheld the points raised by the defendants, giving Terna until May 11, 2020 to complete its writ of summons and scheduling a hearing for October 20, 2020. Terna duly completed its summons, which was filed within the required deadline. The pre -trial stage has now concluded and the case has been referred back for a decision.
On April 2, 2019, a writ of summons was served, on behalf of Electricity & Water Authority of Bahrain, GCC Interconnection Authority, Kuwait Ministry of Electricity and Water and Oman Electricity Transmission Company, on a number of cable manufacturers, in cluding companies in the Prysmian Group, on Pirelli and Goldman Sachs. This action, brought in the Court of Amsterdam, once again involved a claim for compensation for damages purportedly suffered as a result of the alleged anti -competitive practices sanct ioned by the European Commission. On December 18, 2019, the Prysmian companies concerned presented their preliminary defense, which was heard on September 8, 2020. On November 25, 2020, the Court of Amsterdam handed down a ruling under which it upheld the submissions made and declined jurisdiction over defendants not based in the Netherlands, thus excluding them from the proceedings. On February 19, 2021, the plaintiffs announced that they had filed an appeal against this ruling. The Prysmian companies conc erned, together with the other third -party first -instance defendants, have taken legal action to contest the plaintiff's claims. On April 25, 2023, the Amsterdam Court of Appeal handed down a ruling under which it decided to submit to the European Court of Justice a number of questions on the interpretation of European law, which it considers key to its decision. The case has therefore been stayed pending a response from the European Court of
PRYSMIAN | CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED HALF -YEAR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
77 Justice. On April 16, 2026, the Court of Justice delivered its ruling on the requests for interpretation that had been submitted to it, and the proceedings pending before the Amsterdam Court of Appeal has therefore be en resumed.
Furthermore, in February 2023, Prysmian received notification of an application by British consumer associations requesting authorization from the relevant local court to initiate proceedings against a number of cable manufacturers, including Prysmian SpA and Prysmian Cavi e Sistemi Srl. This also involved a claim for compensation for damages supposedly suffered as a result of the alleged anti -competitive practices sanctioned by the European Commission in its April 2014 decision. The court case is pending a nd the Prysmian companies concerned have submitted their preliminary defenses. Under a decision dated May 3, 2024, the UK court conditionally authorized the British consumer association s to initiate the aforementioned proceedings. On October 30, 2025, the UK court ruled on certain preliminary issues, accepting the arguments put forward by Prysmian and the other defendants, thereby reducing the amount of damages claimed. The proceedings remain ongoing.
In view of the circumstances described above and the developments in the related proceedings, and with the support of their legal advisors, the Directors have recognized provisions in the financial statements that they consider adequate to cover the potential liabil ities associated with the matters described .
In June 2023, a writ of summons, sent on behalf of Saudi Electricity Company, was received by a number of cable manufacturers, including certain Prysmian companies. This action, brought before the Court of Cologne, once again involves a claim for compensation for damages purportedly suffered as a result of the alleged anti -competitive practices sanctioned by the European Commission. The case is pe nding.
During June 2026, a writ of summons was served on behalf of China Southern Power Grid Co. Ltd against several cable manufacturers, including Prysmian Cavi e Sistemi S.r.l. In this case as well, the proceedings were brought before the Cologne Regional Court and concern a claim for damages allegedly arising from the anticompetitive conduct sanctioned by the European Commission. The proceedings are currently pending.
Based on the information currently available, and believing these potential liabilities unlikely to crystallize, the Directors have decided not to make any provision.

78 Antitrust - Other investigations In Brazil, the local antitrust authority started proceedings against a number of manufacturers of high -voltage underground and submarine cables, including Prysmian, notified of such in 2011. On April 15, 2020, the CADE Tribunal issued the operative part of the decision under which it held Prysmian liable for the alleged infringement in the period from February 2001 to March 2004 and ordered it to pay a fine of 10.2 million Brazilian real (approximately €1.8 million). Using the provisions already set aside in previous years, Prysmian pa id the fine within the required deadline.
Prysmian filed an appeal against the CADE decision. Under a ruling dated July 11, 2024, Prysmian's appeal was dismissed, therefore confirming the original decision against which the appeal had been lodged. Prysmian has appealed this ruling by reiterating i ts request to quash the CADE's decision.
At the end of February 2016, the Spanish antitrust authority commenced proceedings to verify the existence of anti -competitive practices by local low -voltage cable manufacturers and distributors, including Prysmian's local subsidiaries. On November 24, 2017, the local antitrust authority notified Prysmian's Spanish subsidiaries of a decision under which they were held liable for the alleged infringement s in the period from June 2002 to June 2015 and were jointly and severally ordered to pay a fine of €15.6 million. Prysmian's Spanish subsidiaries lodged an appeal against this decision.
The appeal was partially upheld by the local court, which on May 19, 2023 ruled that the time period used by the authority to calculate the fine should be reduced, with consequent revision of the fine itself. Prysmian's Spanish subsidiaries have appealed against this ruling. The appeal has been declared inadmissible; however, the ruli ng is still under appeal by the Spanish Antitrust Authority and is therefore not yet final.
The decision of November 24, 2017 also held the Spanish subsidiaries of General Cable liable for a breach of local antitrust law. However, they have obtained immunity from paying the related fine (quantified at a pproximately €12.6 million) having filed for leniency and collaborated with the local antitrust authority in its investigations. General Cable ’s Spanish subsidiaries also appealed against the decision of the local antitrust authority at both first and second instance. The appeals were ultimately dis missed in rulings by the Spanish Supreme Court, notified to the companies concerned on January 19, 2023, thus rendering the local antitrust authority ’s decision against them final.
In June 2022, the antitrust authorities of the Czech Republic and Slovakia conducted inspections at the offices of Prysmian's local subsidiaries with regard to alleged anti -competitive practices in setting metal surcharges. Subsequently, in August 2022 and M arch 2023, the antitrust authorities
PRYSMIAN | CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED HALF -YEAR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
79 of the Czech Republic and Slovakia respectively announced the opening of an investigation into this matter involving, among others, Prysmian's local subsidiaries.
In August 2025, the Slovak antitrust authority notified all parties involved in the investigations of a statement of objections contesting their alleged anti -competitive conduct. This is a preliminary measure and does not affect the final outcome of the proc eedings. Prysmian has already submitted its observations on the matter in question. Subsequently, in February 2026, the authority issued a first -instance decision imposing a fine of approximately €46 million on the Prysmian subsidiaries involved in the i nvestigation. However, this decision is not enforceable and has been challenged by Prysmian before the governing body of the same authority, requesting its reform.
In March 2026, the Czech competition authority notified all parties involved in the investigations of a statement of objections alleging certain anti -competitive conduct. This measure is preliminary in nature and does not prejudice the final outcome of the procedure. Prysmian therefore submit ted its observations in this regard.
Taking into account the circumstances described above and the developments in the related proceedings, and with the support of their legal advisors, the Directors have recognized provisions in the financial statements that they consider adequate to cover the potential liabil ities associated with the matters described .
In addition, in January 2022, an investigation was initiated by the German antitrust authority (Federal Cartel Office) concerning alleged coordination in setting standard metal surcharges applied by the industry in Germany.
Prysmian's local subsidiaries have filed legal challenges against the search and seizure orders under which the German authorities carried out inspections at their offices and seized company documents.
In December 2024, the Italian Antitrust Authority carried out an inspection at the offices of one of the Group's Italian subsidiaries. The inspection was conducted as part of an Italian Antitrust Authority investigation into a possible anti -competitive car tel aimed at coordinating prices and conditions of sale in the Italian low -voltage copper cable market.
In October 2025, the Hungarian antitrust authority carried out an inspection at the offices of the Group's local subsidiary. The inspection was conducted as part of the authority's investigation into a possible cartel affecting competition in a number of t enders to supply low - and/or medium -
voltage cables.
PRYSMIAN | CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED HALF -YEAR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
80 Given the high degree of uncertainty as to the timing and outcome of these ongoing investigations, the Directors are currently unable to estimate the related risk which, in case of an adverse outcome of said investigations, as mentioned in the section “Risk related to non -
compliance with Antitrust laws, rules and regulations” of the 2025 Integrated Annual Report, could have a material adverse effect on Prysmian’s business, financial conditions, and/or results.
Antitrust - Claims for damages ensuing from Other investigations In February 2020, a writ of summons was served on a number of cable manufacturers, including Prysmian's Spanish subsidiaries, under which companies belonging to the Iberdrola Group claimed compensation for damages supposedly suffered as a result of the alleged anti -
competitive practices sanctioned by the Spanish ant itrust authority in its decision of November 24, 2017. The proceedings, pending before the Court of Barcelona, were settled by a ruling on July 28, 2025, which dismissed all of Iberdrola's claims for damages. Iberdrola appeal ed this ruling in September 202 5.
In July 2020, a writ of summons was served on a number of cable manufacturers, including Prysmian's Spanish subsidiaries, under which companies belonging to the Endesa Group claimed compensation for damages supposedly suffered as a result of the alleged an ti-competitive practices sanctioned by the Spanish antitrust authority in its decision of November 24, 2017. The proceedings are pending before the Court of Barcelona.
During 2022, other third -party lawsuits were filed against certain cable manufacturers, including Prysmian's Spanish subsidiaries, to obtain compensation for damages supposedly suffered as a result of the alleged anti -competitive conduct sanctioned by the Spanish antitrust authority in its decision of November 24, 2017. The proceedings are pending before the Court of Barcelona.
Taking into account the circumstances described above and the developments in the related proceedings, and with the support of their legal advisors and maintaining consistency in the valuation criteria, the Directors have recognized provisions in the financial statements that they consider adequate to cover the potential liabilities associated with the matters described .
With reference to the above matters, a number of Prysmian companies have received various notices in which third parties have claimed compensation for damages, albeit not quantified, allegedly suffered as a result of Prysmian's involvement in the anti -comp etitive practices sanctioned by the European Commission and the antitrust authorities in Brazil and Spain.
Based on the information currently available and believing it unlikely that these potential or unquantifiable liabilities will arise, the Directors have decided not to make any provision.
PRYSMIAN | CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED HALF -YEAR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
81 Despite the uncertainty of the outcome of the pending investigations and legal actions, the amount of the above -mentioned provision s is considered to represent the best estimate of the liability based on the information available to date and the above developments in the proceedings.

16. TAXES
Taxes have been estimated on the basis of the expected average tax rate for the full year. The tax charge for the first six months of 2026 is € 205 million versus € 161 million in the prior year period .
The tax rate for the first six months of 2026 is approximately 26.0%, in line with the prior year period. Based on the assessment of the Group’s exposure to the Pillar Two rules, no material tax liability is expected.
17. EARNINGS/(LOSS) PER SHARE
Both basic and diluted earnings/(loss) per share were determined by dividing net profit attributable to owners of the parent for the periods presented by the average number of the Company’s outstanding shares, as better described below. Net profit attribut able to owners of the parent was adjusted to take into account the remuneration of the perpetual hybrid bond.
Basic and diluted earnings/(loss) per share are affected by “deferred shares”, “matching shares” and “performance shares” relating to the 2023 –2025 long ‑term incentive plan, as well as by the “loyalty shares ” of 2024 and the 2025 shares under the BE IN long ‑term incentive plan, as these vested in full as of the Annual General Meeting of April 16, 2026 .
Diluted earnings/(loss) per share is affected by “ loyalty shares” 2025, but is not impacted by “deferred shares”, “matching shares” and “performance shares” under the 2026 –2028 long ‑term incentive plan, as they are currently out of the money.

18. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
As a global operator, Prysmian is exposed to legal risks primarily, for example, in the areas of product liability and environmental, antitrust and tax rules and regulations. The outcome of pending legal action and proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty . An adverse outcome in one or more of these proceedings could result in payment of fines, damages or other costs that are not covered, or not fully covered, by insurance, which could therefore impact Prysmian's financial position and results.
As of June 30, 2026, contingent liabilities for which Prysmian has not recognised any provision for risks and charges, on the grounds that an outflow of resources is considered unlikely, but for which reliable estimates are available, amount to approximately €35 million and mainly refer to legal and tax issues.
19. RECEIVABLES FACTORING
Prysmian has factored some of its trade receivables on a non -recourse basis. Receivables factored but not yet paid by customers amounted to €419 million a s of June 30, 2026 (€202 million a s of December 31, 2025).
20. SEASONALITY
Prysmian's business entails a certain degree of seasonality with regard to revenues, which are usually higher in the second and third quarters. This is due to the fact that utilities projects in the northern hemisphere are mostly concentrated in the warmer months of the year.
Prysmian's level of debt is generally higher in the May -September period , with cash being used to fund the growth in working capital.

28. EVENTS AFTER THE REPORTING PERIOD
Prysmian to accelerate data center growth in Digital Solutions On July 20, 2026 Prysmian announced that the Group aims to accelerate data center growth in Digital Solutions thanks to major capacity increase and hyperscaler agreements .
• Prysmian sign ed a 10-year agreement with Molex, a Koch Inc. company, worth up to €5.5 billion, supported by a €550 million upfront payment • €10 billion of cumulative revenues with hyperscalers and data center infrastructure providers, with up to €1.1 billion on a yearly basis from 2031 • Major expansion of fiber and optical cable production: more than doubling fiber capacity in the United States Prysmian has signed an up to €5.5 billion long -term agreement, which includes a €550 million upfront payment, with Molex, part of the large private U.S. company Koch Inc., for a period of up to ten years, for the supply of optical cables to be deployed ins ide data centers.
The deal with Molex is part of an overall set of new agreements and commercial initiatives with hyperscalers and data center infrastructure providers, foreseen to bring in an additional cumulative value of over €10 billion on an incremental basis up to 203 5, versus the 2025 baseline.
This includes up to €1.1 billion of Revenues on a yearly basis from 2031.
To support this growth, Prysmian will implement a significant expansion in capacity for optical cables and fiber, which will more than double fiber capacity in the U.S. versus the current baseline.
The capacity expansion and agreements build on Prysmian’s data center strengths in both digital and energy connections and will now bring the company’s fiber and cables into the so - called ‘inside’ data center space. This will be a driver of significant gr owth in the years ahead thanks to structural modernization cycles to enhance performance and energy efficiency, AI - driven architecture shifts and upgrades to fiber density. These long -term trends are an opportunity to utilize Prysmian’s technical know -how as a leader in fiber technology, as well as its U.S.
manufacturing footprint.
Prysmian will implement a capacity increase to extend production of optical cables and fiber – including the glass preforming stage, for plants in the U.S. and Europe. The investment, which will more than double fiber capacity in the United States, will bu ild on Prysmian’s position as one of just 3 U.S. manufacturers of fiber and optical cables, while in Europe, will support Prysmian’s position as the only major domestic player. Prysmian will allocate €1.25 billion up to 2031 for this capacity increase, and as a result of the investment over 1000 jobs will be created worldwide, 600 of which will be in the U.S..

CERTIFICATION OF THE HALF -YEAR CONDENSED
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PURSUANT TO
ART. 81 -TER OF CONSOB REGULATION 11971 DATED 14 MAY
1999 AS AMENDED
1. The undersigned Massimo Battaini, as Chief Executive Officer, and Stefano Invernici and Alessandro Brunetti, as managers responsible for preparing the financial reports of Prysmian S.p.A., certify, also taking account of the provisions of paragraphs 3 and 4, art. 154 -bis of Italian Legislative Decree 58 dated 24 February 1998, that during the first half of 202 6 the accounting and administrative processes for preparing the half -year condensed consolidated financial
statements:
- have been adequate in relation to the business's characteristics and
- have been effectively applied.
2. The adequacy of the accounting and administrative processes for preparing the half -year condensed consolidated financial statements at June 30, 2026 has been evaluated on the basis of a procedure established by Prysmian in compliance with the internal control framework published by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, which represents the generally accepted standard mo del internationally.
It is nonetheless reported that:
- during the first half of 202 6, some Prysmian companies were involved in the information system changeover project. The process of fine -tuning the new system's operating and accounting functions is still in progress for some of them; in any case, the system of controls in place ensures uniformity with the Group's system of procedures and controls.
3. It is also certified that:
3.1 The half -year condensed consolidated financial statements at June 30, 2026:
a) have been prepared in accordance with applicable international accounting standards recognised by the European Union under Regulation (EC) 1606/2002 of the European Parliament and Council dated 19 July 2002;
b) correspond to the underlying accounting records and books of account;
c) are able to provide a true and fair view of the issuer's statement of financial position and results of operations and of the group of companies included in the consolidation.

Audit Report
Review report on the consolidated condensed interim financial
statements
To the Shareholders of
Prysmian SpA
Foreword
We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated condensed interim financial statements of Prysmian SpA (the “Company”) and subsidiaries (Prysmian Group ) as of 30 June 2026 , comprising the statement of financial position, the income statement, the other comprehensive income, the statement of changes in equity, the cashflows and the explanatory notes . The directors of Prysmian SpA are responsible for the preparation of the consolidated condensed interim financ ial statements in accordance with the accounting standard IAS 34 as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board and adopted by the European Union applicable to interim financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on these consolidated condensed interim financial statements based on our review.
Scope of review We conducted our work in accordance with the criteria for a review recommended by Consob in Resolution 10867 /1997. A review of consolidated condensed interim financial statements consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than a full -scope audi t conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISA Italia) and, consequently, does not enable u s 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 on the consolidated condensed interim financial statements.
102
103
Conclusion
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the consolidated condensed interim financial statements of Prysmian Group as of 30 June 2026 are not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the accounting standard IAS 34 as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board and adopted by the European Union applicable to interim financial reporting .
