Milan, March 6, 2025 – Today the Board of Directors of Italmobiliare S.p.A. reviewed and approved the consolidated financial statements and the draft separate financial statements of the Company at December 31, 2024. In light of the year's good results but considering the rapid evolution of an increasingly challenging geopolitical context, the Board of Directors will propose the distribution of a dividend of 0.90 euro per share (+12.5% compared to the ordinary dividend distributed in 2023, which was 0.80 euro per share).

In 2024, the Italmobiliare Group records positive trends linked to the development of its portfolio companies. At a consolidated level, the Group's turnover stands at 701.4 million euro, up 19.7% compared with 2023. The increase is mainly attributable to the excellent performances of Caffè Borbone, CDS - Casa della Salute, Officina Profumo-Farmaceutica di Santa Maria Novella, Italgen and SIDI Sport. Gross operating profit amounted to 157.2 million euro, 58.5% up on the same period last year.

With regard to the valuation of the portfolio investments, it should be recalled that in February 2024 the stake in AGN Energia was sold, with a capital gain in the separate balance sheet of Italmobiliare S.p.A. of approximately 40 million euro and a money-on-money return of 1.8x. It should also be noted that during the year the financial investments in CRM Casa della Piada and FiberCop were realized.

Italmobiliare S.p.A. closed its 2024 financial statements with a profit of 104.8 million euro, more than double the 51.6 million euro of 2023, with an EBITDA of 105.1 million (+55.3% compared with 67.7 million in 2023), growing thanks also to the realization of the portfolio investments mentioned above. At December 31, 2024, Italmobiliare S.p.A.'s net financial position is positive and equal to 273.8 million euro, an improvement of 69.5 million euro compared with 204.3 million at December 31, 2023.

“In a challenging and constantly changing competitive context, Italmobiliare continues its development path with revenue and gross operating profit growing at consolidated level thanks to the good performance of the Group's main industrial platforms – commented Carlo Pesenti, CEO of Italmobiliare –. In 2025, we will focus on further developing our diversified portfolio of Italian industrial excellence, on the one hand supporting our companies in carefully monitoring production chains and international distribution channels, on the other hand providing them with the tools and resources necessary to intensify the path of organic and inorganic growth.”

CDP Worldwide, an international non-profit organization that collects and analyses environmental information from nearly 25,000 companies worldwide, has raised Italmobiliare’s climate rating to A-, an increase of three notches compared with the Holding Company’s previous rating. The result rewards the decarbonisation strategy adopted by Italmobiliare in line with the Science Based Targets initiative, which the Holding has adhered to by taking a commitment to halve its greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 and reaching net zero by 2050.

“In 2024 – underlines the Chairman, Laura Zanetti – we continued the path towards the net-zero emissions target by 2050, with a climate strategy aligned with the Paris Agreement, thanks to the guidance of the Science Based Targets initiative, which has already validated the targets of Italmobiliare, Italgen and Officina Profumo-Farmaceutica di Santa Maria Novella and is evaluating the proposals of the other Portfolio Companies. Furthermore, we have multiplied our efforts on all other strategic lines, from the promotion of a solid safety culture starting from management leadership to the development of human capital through professional growth, inclusion and gender equality. All this is based on solid governance, built on the highest global references, including the UN Global Compact, extended to the entire value chain.”

The development of Officina Profumo-Farmaceutica di Santa Maria Novella continues, with revenue up 25.5% to 47.1 million euro thanks to good performances on the part of all sales channels, retail in particular (+42.6%), following consolidation of the results of the subsidiary in Japan and the growth of all geographies in which the company already operates and e-commerce (+30.1%).

Bene Assicurazioni's premium income has increased by 32.6%, reaching 198.2 million euro. An excellent result thanks to growth in the main sales channels and the increase recorded in all sectors in which the company operates.

Milan, May 13, 2024 - Today the Board of Directors of Italmobiliare S.p.A. approved the additional periodic financial information at March 31, 2024. During the first quarter of the year, the Italmobiliare Group recorded positive trends linked to the development and continuous improvement in the efficiency of the companies in its portfolio, especially of the companies operating in sectors where the Group is concentrating more resources, also with a view to developing genuine industrial platforms.

At a consolidated level, the Group's revenue and income stood at 166.2 million euro, an increase of 19.9% compared with the corresponding period of last year, mainly thanks to excellent performances by Caffè Borbone (+6.5 million euro), Italgen (+5.4 million euro), CDS - Casa della Salute (+4.9 million euro), Officina Profumo-Farmaceutica di Santa Maria Novella (+1.6 million euro) and Italmobiliare (+8.5 million euro, net of infragroup eliminations).

Among the main outflows we would point out the increase in portfolio investments (-2.6 million euro) and general costs, taxes net of rebates and incentive plans (for a total of -8.0 million euro).

Lastly, cash management was positive, generating 4.1 million euro.

Performance of the Portfolio Companies

Looking at the pro-forma aggregate of the Industrial Portfolio Companies, revenue amounts to 331.4 million euro in the first quarter of the year, up by 7.8% on the first quarter of 2023. Gross operating profit comes to 26.9 million euro and is affected by ISEO, which had some contingent problems during the period with implementation of the new ERP system, and also by Tecnica Group, for which a recovery is expected in the second half of the year.

In the food sector, Caffè Borbone posted revenue of 83.7 million euro, up 8.4% compared with the same period last year. The performance of the Large-Scale Retail channel and the foreign market was excellent, up by 40%, in part thanks to the positive contribution of the American branch, which substantially doubled its turnover compared with last year. Gross operating profit comes to 19.2 million euro, down by 6.2% but still holding up if we consider the hefty rise in the price of Robusta coffee, which represents the bulk of the company's purchases. Excellent performance of Capitelli, which saw growth in both revenue (+4.3% to 5.9 million euro) and gross operating profit (+28.1% to 0.9 million). Callmewine had a decline in revenue compared with the previous year, but gross operating profit is stable thanks to greater efficiency in the management of fixed costs.

Officina Profumo-Farmaceutica di Santa Maria Novella closes the first quarter with revenue on the rise (+16.7% to 11.8 million), thanks to a good performance in the direct-to-consumer channel, which includes direct retail and e-commerce. Specifically, store results benefit on one hand from the change in scope following the inclusion of Japan; on the other, there has been like-for-like growth in own stores of 19%. Gross operating profit amounts to 1.1 million euro, down compared with the previous period mainly due to investments in the team and in the distribution channel.

CDS - Casa della Salute continues on its development path by inaugurating three new clinics during the period, bringing the total number of facilities between Liguria and Piedmont to 29. Revenue has risen to 15.3 million euro, up 47.4% compared with the same period of the previous year, also with reference to recent acquisitions, while the gross operating profit comes to 1.8 million euro, up 35.2%.

Italgen has posted total energy production rising to 87.7 GWh for the period, a result that essentially doubles the figure in the first quarter of 2023, which was particularly dry; it is also well up on the five-year average.
