Biadene di Montebelluna, November 12th, 2025 – Geox S.p.A., leading brand in classic and casual footwear listed on the Euronext Milan (GEO.MI) market managed by Borsa Italiana, examine d today the consolidated sales figures and net financial position for the first nine months of 2025. The Chief Executive Officer Francesco Di Giovanni commented: “Geox reports a 3.8% decline in sales compared to the same period last year on a like- for-like basis. Market conditions and overall consumer dynamics continue to affect sector demand, which remains in significant contraction . I believe it is important to highlight , however, that our direct retail channel delivered comparable sales substantially in line with the previous year. Despite the market conditions , we focused on cost rationalization and efficiency measures which enabled us to achieve a higher adjusted EBIT than in the first nine months of 2024. For the year 2025, despite the weakness in sales (high single digit) , we forecast, thanks to the aforementioned cost - containment measures, an adjusted EBIT margin in line with previous plan expectations and a bank debt in the range of Euro 100-110 million. We note that the Wholesale channel sales campaign for the Spring/Summer 2026 collection concluded in September, recording a slight decrease compared to the Spring/Summer 2025 season.”

2 GROUP OPERATING PERFORMANCE: SALES Consolidated sales for the first nine months of 2025 amounted to Euro 492.8 million, down 6.2% compared to the same period of previous year ( -6.3% at constant exchange rates). Excluding the impact of the closure of the subsidiaries in China and the United States, the decline amounted to Euro 19.3 million (-3.8%). Sales by Distribution Channel (Thousands of Euro) 9 Months 2025 % 9 Months 2024 % % Change Wholesale 172,625 35.0% 184,260 35.1% (6.3%) Retail 186,919 37.9% 190,603 36.3% (1.9%) Web 133,231 27.1% 150,589 28.6% (11.5%) Total Sales 492,775 100.0% 525,452 100.0% (6.2%) Wholesale channel sales amounted to Euro 172.6 million, accounting for 35.0% of total Group sales (35.1% in the first nine months of 2024), and recorded a decrease of 6.3% at current exchange rates ( -6.3% at constant exchange rates) compared to Euro 184.2 million in the first nine months of 2024. Excluding the impact of the closure of the subsidiaries in China and the United States, the decrease amounted to Euro 8.9 million ( -4.9%). This performance reflects a lower order s intake for the SS25 and FW25 collection s compared to the previous year , across all key markets. Starting from this fiscal year, the Wholesale channel includes, in addition to sales to multibrand stores, also sales to Geox mono-brand franchised stores operating under a “Wholesale-like” model. Retail channel sales amounted to Euro 186.9 million, accounting for 37.9% of total Group sales, slightly down from Euro 190.6 million in the first nine months of 2024 ( -1.9% at current exchange rates, - 1.9% at constant exchange rates). Excluding the impact of the closure of the subsidiaries in China and the United States, the decrease amounted to Euro 0.6 million ( -0.3%). This decrease is attributable to a net perimeter effect of approximately Euro -1.3 million, primarily due to store closures carried out mainly during 2024. Starting from this fiscal year, the Retail channel includes, in addition to DOS B&M sales, sales generated from Geox mono -brand franchised stores operating under a “Direct to Consumer- like” model (In-Deal – Retail). As for the distribution perimeter, the number of directly operated physical stores (DOS B&M) decreased from 2 47 in September 2024 to 236 in September 2025, while the number of franchised points of sale (In -Deal – Retail) declined from 142 to 111 over the same period. Sales generated through digital channels—which, starting from this year, include the owned website and marketplaces, both directly managed and operating under a Wholesale model —recorded a decrease of 11.5% compared to the first nine months of 2024, partly as a result of a rationalization of web channels initiated in the second half of the current financial year . Excluding the impact of the closure of the subsidiaries in China and the United States, the decrease amounted to Euro 9.8 million (-6.9%). It is worth nothing the positive LFL performance of 3.7% of the owned website, which partially offsets the negative performance of the channel.

This result was driven by the combined effect of the positive performance of the Web channel (13.9%) which compensates the decline reported in the Wholesale channel (-4.0%) and in the Retail channel (-0.5%). Sales generated in Europe represented 4 7.7% of total Group sales (45.5% in the first nine months of 2024), amounting to Euro 234,9 million compared to Euro 238.8 million in the first nine months of 2024, marking a decrease of 1.6% (- 1.7% at constant exchange rates), mainly driven by the negative performance of Web and Wholesale channels in France and Iberia. This decrease is partially mitigated by the positive performance of the DOS channel, primarily in France, which continues to deliver a positive trend. Starting from this fiscal year, sales results from Canada are reported and discussed within the “Other c ountries” area. Sales generated in the “Other c ountries” area accounted for 23.3% of total Group sales ( 27.2% in the first nine months of 2024) and amounted to Euro 114.8 million, compared to Euro 142.9 million in the first nine months of 2024, recording a decline of 19.7% compared to the same period of last year (-19.9% at constant exchange rates). We note that this result was negatively impacted by the change in the geographic perimeter following the closure of the subsidiaries in China and the United States, which led to a sales loss of approximately Euro 13.4 million. In addition, we highlight the good sales performance in the MEA (Middle East & Africa) region, contrasted by weak results in Russia, where operations continue to be affected by the ongoing instability and tensions related to the current conflict.

5 THE GROUP'S BALANCE SHEET AND FINANCIAL POSITION Operating net working capital amounted to Euro 161.4 million, increasing by Euro 57.0 million compared to Euro 104.4 million as of December 31, 2024, and decreasing by Euro 2.1 million compared to September 30, 2024 (Euro 163.5 million). The trend in working capital in the first nine months is consistent with the seasonal nature of the business, resulting in a corresponding cash absorption. As a result, the ratio of operating net working capital to sales over the last twelve months stood at 25.6% as of September 30, 2025 (vs 24.7% as of September 30, 2024). Inventory levels amounted to Euro 208.8 million, down by Euro 34.9 million compared to Euro 243.7 million as of December 31, 2024, mainly due to the shipment of finished products from the FW 25 collection to customers, primarily Wholesale. Inventory levels were also significantly lower compared to September 30, 2024 (Euro 220.4 million), driven by actions, started during the previous year, aimed at improving inventory management efficiency. Trade receivables amounted to approximately Euro 125.0 million, increasing by Euro 54.3 million compared to Euro 70.6 million as of December 31, 2024, driven by the finished product shipment mentioned above. The amount of trade receivables is lower compared to September 30, 2024 (129.9 million), due to the decline in sales. Average collection days remained in line with previous quarters and consistent with sector seasonality. Trade payables amounted to Euro 1 72.4 million, decreasing by Euro 37.6 million compared to Euro 210.0 million as of December 31, 2024, mainly due to different timing of purchases and a reduction in the cost base. The amount of trade payables is also lower compared to September 30, 2024 (Euro 186.8 million). Average payment terms remained substantially in line with previous quarters. The set of rationalization and optimization actions implemented starting from the previous year allowed the Group to maintain a controlled net financial position which , at the end of September, stood (pre-IFRS 16 and after the fair value of derivative contracts) at Euro -1 19.0 million (Euro -90.9 million as of December 31, 2024 and Euro - 145.8 million as of September 30, 2024). Bank debt amounted to Euro -106.6 million (Euro -103.2 million as of December 31, 2024 and Euro - 138.4 million as of September 30, 2024), increasing by Euro 3.5 million. This figure reflects both the cash absorption from operating activities in the nine months period and the proceeds from the capital increase, for Euro 29 .4 million, completed in June 2025, as part of the refinancing agreement signed with the leading banks on December 30, 2024 (“ Refinancing Plan”).
