Outlook confirmed

Given the projects currently under development in Tallinn, Riga, and Vilnius, as well as the level of inventory of properties available for sale, the Group is confident for H2. As a reminder, the launch of the new Borgo project in Vilnius (the creation of 50 high-end apartments in a historic building located in the Old Town) is scheduled for the second half of 2026.
- Hospitality/Tourism Segment
The season got off to a good start at Domina Zagarella (Italy), with solid visitor numbers over the summer. The Group has decided to begin work to develop a private beach near the hotel and constructing a 500-square-meter spa located in the heart of the hotel to enhance the site's appeal, extend the resort's operating season, and further boost its attractiveness (scheduled to open in 2027).
Regarding the Domina Coral Bay resort (Sharm El Sheikh), reservations remain at a high level as the Group enters its peak tourist season. At the same time, investments are continuing both in room renovations and in the rollout of new services (notably, the Mastaba project, comprising a complex of 36 stores, is scheduled for completion in 2026).
Building on the good performance in H1 and the current business momentum, PREATONI Group is confident about the second half of the fiscal year and expects full-year 2026 revenue growth, as well as an EBITDA margin exceeding 20%, barring any major geopolitical disruptions.
The half-year financial report will be published on Euronext and on the PREATONI Group website on September 28, 2026.
