2 Milan 29 July 2026 – The Board of Directors of Pirelli & C. Spa met today and majority approved results to 30 June 2026, with the contrary vote of board members Zhang Haitao, Xi Xiaohong and Wang Kun because of the declaration of control by MTP Spa contained in the financial report. The results of the first half of 2026 confirm the resilience of Pirelli’s business model and the effective implementation of the strategic programs, despite an economic context still characterized by elevated volatility and persistent geopolitical tensions. In particular: - Commercial Program In the first half of 2026 Pirelli further consolidated its leadership in High Value, the Car and Moto volumes of which grew by 3.5%, with increased market share in both businesses. The performance was supported by both the Original Equipment channel, thanks to partnerships with the principal carmakers in North America and APAC, and the Replacement channel, thanks to the strength of the Brand, quality of the offering and continuing consumer appreciation for Pirelli products. Standard volumes decreased by -8% reflecting the strategy of growing selectivity, particularly in South America, through the reduction of exposure to segments with lower margins. The performance described above translates for Pirelli into stable total volumes in the first half of 2026. - Innovation Program In the first half of 2026 Pirelli garnered around 200 n ew homologations with the principal Premium and Prestige carmakers, of which 90% for rim sizes ≥19 inches. Specialties account for 70% of new homologations, while 60% are for electric vehicles (BEV and PHEV). The high level of technological content in Pirelli products earns the constant recognition of the main Premium and Prestige carmakers – as testified by the homologations obtained in the first half for the Ferrari Luce, Rivian R2S and the new Audi Q7 and Q9 SUVs – both in comparative tests in the Car segment, where Pirelli achieved 8 victories in just the first half of 2026. In terms of the product portfolio, the offering was further broadened with the launch, in the Car replacement segment, of the new Scorpion AS 4 in North America, in Moto with the marketing of the Metzeler Sportec 01 RS and in Cycling with the introduction of the new Cinturato Gravel RH and RM. In conclusion, the development of the Cyber Tyre continues through strategic partnerships with leading operators in the fields of connectivity and autonomous driving, such as Univrses, RideSense and Niulinx, with the goal of further strengthening of the technolog ical platform. - Efficiencies’ Program In the first half of 2026 the Company achieved gross benefits of 81 million euro, equal to around 54% of the annual target , in line with expectations. The result reflects, in a particular manner, the progress of the product design program and the improvement of industrial productivity . Given the Middle East crisis and resulting impacts on the cost of raw materials, energy and transport, the company quickly activated mitigation initiatives which include price increases and additional cost containment measures. In the first half of 2026 Pirelli registered positive performances in the principal economic indicators. Revenues amounted to 3,494.5 million euro, with organic growth of +2.5% excluding the combined effect of forex and the application of hyper-inflation accounting (equal to -2.1% overall), as well as the variation to the scope of consolidation (-0.5%) following the sale of Däckia AB. Including these effects, stable (-0.1%) compared with the first half of 2025 (3,498.6 million euro). High Value represents 82% of total sales (80% in the first half of 2025). In the second quarter of 2026 revenues totaled 1,757.3 million euro, with organic growth of +1.4% compared with the same period of 2025. Growth of 1.0% compared with the first half of 2025 including the effect of forex and hyper-inflation (+0.4%) and the variation of the scope of consolidation (-0.8%).

3 Revenue variants 1 QTR 2026 2 QTR 2026 H1 2026 Volumes +1.5% -1.5% 0.0% Price/Mix +2.0% +2.9% +2.5% Variation like-for-like +3.5% +1.4% +2.5% Forex/Hyper-inflation in Argentina and Turkey -4.5% +0.4% -2.1% Perimeter variation – Däkia AB -0.2% -0.8% -0.5% Total variation -1.2% +1.0% -0.1% Volumes in the first half of 2026 were stable compared with the first half of 2025, with opposing dynamics in High Value and Standard. In particular, in Car ≥18’’, Pirelli outperformed the market earning market share in both channels (Original Equipment and Replacement ), while in Car ≤17’’ the strategy of reducing exposure to less profitable products and channels continued. In the second quarter of 2026 volumes saw a slight decrease (-1.5%) because of the diverging performances of High Value (Car and Moto volumes grew +3%) and Standard (Pirelli volumes -11%, with a more marked decline compared with the first quarter, in line with the cited strategy of selectivity). In the first half of 2026 the price/mix registered an increase of +2.5% led by the continuous improvement of the product mix and the positive contribution of the regional mix. In the second quarter of 2026 the price/mix was +2.9%, an improvement compared with the first quarter (+2.0%), supported by the continuous improvement of the product mix and the positivity of the regional mix, driven by solid performances in Europe, North America and APAC, while demand in South America was weaker. The effect of exchange rates in the first half of 2026 had a negative impact of -2.1% mainly because of the devaluation of the US dollar compared with the first half of 2025. In the second quarter of 2026 the effect of exchange rates had a positive performance of +0.4% (-4.5% in first quarter ) following the reduced devaluation of the US dollar and strengthening of the Chinese renminbi and the Brazilian real. Profitability Profitability (euro millions) 30/06/2026 % of revenues 30/06/2025 % of revenues Variation y/y Adjusted Ebitda 814.5 23.3% 792.9 22.7% +2.7% Ebitda 794.5 22.7% 771.1 22.0% +3.0% Adjusted Ebit 557.8 16.0% 558.3 16.0% -0.1% Ebit 492.2 14.1% 479.6 13.7% +2.6% Adjusted Ebitda in the first half of 2026 was 814.5 million euro, with growth of +2.7% compared with 792.9 million euro in the same period of 2025. Adjusted Ebit in the first half of 2026 was 557.8 million euro (558.3 million euro in the same period of 2025), with an adjusted Ebit margin of 16.0%, stable compared with the first half of 2025 thanks to the effectiveness of internal levers.

4 Adjusted Ebit reflects: - positive contribution of price/mix (+50.2 million euro) and efficiencies (+81.3 million euro) that more than offset the negative impact of forex (-44.4 million euro) and the inflation of input costs (-64.6 million euro), due to the Middle East crisis; - positive contribution of raw materials (+31.5 million euro); - negative impact of greater amortizations of -12.2 million euro; - increase of other costs (-42.5 million euro), principally linked to the impact of US tariffs. In the second quarter of 2026, Adjusted Ebit amounted to 280.4 million euro (+0.7% compared with 278.5 million euro in the same period of 2025), with a margin of 16.0%, stable year on year . In the quarter, the positive contribution of price/mix (+28.8 million euro) more than offset the negative effect of forex (-4.3 mi llion euro) and the performance of volumes (-10.2 mi llion euro). The contribution of efficiencies was positive (+38.0 million euro), which more than offset the inflation of input costs (-36.4 million euro). The contribution of raw materials was positive ( +16.0 million euro), while there was an increase on an annual basis of amortizations (-6.8 million euro) and other costs (-23.2 million euro, including the impact of tariffs). Ebit in the first half of 2026 was 492.2 million euro, an increase compared with 479.6 million euro of the first half of 2025 and includes amortization of intangible assets identified in the context of PPA of 45.6 million euro (56.9 million euro in the first half of 2025) and one-time, non-recurring and restructuring charges of 20.0 million euro (21.8 million euro in the first half of 2025). The result from equity holdings was positive for 29.1 million euro (+ 16.0 million euro in first half 2025) and mainly refers to the fair value revaluation of the Xushen Tyre (Shanghai) Co. Ltd. joint venture following its consolidation. Net financial charges in the first half of 2026 amounted to 94.1 million euro, a significant improvement compared with 122.7 million euro in the first half of 2025, mainly thanks to the reduction of gross debt, as well as the lower weight of financial debt in high-interest-rate countries. This latter effect also contributed to the reduction of the cost of debt, calculated as the average of the last 12 months, which on 30 June 2026 stood at 3.89% compared with 4.40% on 31 December 2025. Fiscal charges in the first half of 2026 amounted to 128.2 million euro, with a tax rate of 30.0%. The value in the first half of 2025 was 108.9 million euro, with a tax rate of 29.2%. Net profit in the first half of 2026 grew by +13.3% to 299.0 million euro, compared with 264.0 million registered in the first half of 2025. The second quarter of 2026 saw an increase in net profit of +4% to 142.2 million euro (136.8 million euro in the same period of 2025). Net cash flow before dividends and the consolidation/exercise of call option of Xushen Tyre in the first half of 2026 was -556.9 million euro, compared with -503.7 million euro in the first half of 2025 (-547.1 million euro, excluding the +43.4-million-euro impact of the disposal of Däckia AB to CTS). Net cash flow from operations in the first half of 2026 was negative -416.1 million euro (-217.0 million euro in the same period of 2025) and mainly discounts increased investments (tangible and intangible) and greater cash absorption linked to the dynamics of commercial debt. In detail: - operating perf ormance saw an improvement compared with the same period a year earlier (Adjusted Ebitda of 814.5 million euro in the first half of 2026 compared with 792.9 million euro in the first half of 2025); - tangible and intangible investments amount to 177.2 million euro (128.0 million euro in the same period of 2025), destined mainly to High Value activities, technological upgrade and automation of factories; - “increases in right of use” were 51.6 million euro (71.6 million euro in the first half of 2025);

5 - Greater cash absorption linked to “functional capital and other” (-1,001.8 million euro compared with -810.3 million euro in the first half of 2 025). This dynamic principally reflects greater cash absorption relative to commercial debts compared with the first half of 2025 because of the greater concentration of investments in the last quarter of 2025 which resulted in the relative payments in the first half of the year . Commercial credits are following the business’s usual seasonality with a limited additional negative impact as an effect of the situation in the Middle East. Inventory management was positive, higher as a percentage of revenues over the last 12 months than for the same period in 2025 (22.4% compared with 21.2%) which reflects the rigorous management of finished product volumes (weighed down by the cost of raw materials and the constitution of “safety stock” because of the conflict in the area of the Golf). Net cash flow before dividends in the first half of 2026 was -813.9 million euro and, beyond the dynamics described above of operations, reflects: - impact of -257.0 million euro relative to the consolidation and increase to 70% of Xushen Tyre (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. (respectively -210.2 million euro and -46.8 million euro); - financial charges paid of -85.7 million euro, lower than the 31.0 million euro of the previous year; - taxes paid of -99.6 million euro, 33.0 million euro higher than the previous year; - payments linked to non-recurring and restructuring charges of -27.4 million euro. The net financial position to 30 June 2026 was -1,915.9 million euro compared with -2,678.7 million euro on 30 June 2025 and -1,102.0 million euro on 31 December 2025. On 30 June 2026 the liquidity margin was 2,569.4 million euro and guarantees the coverage of debt maturities with banks and other financiers beyond the third quarter of 2029. *** 2026 TARGETS Market outlook With the Middle East crisis continuing to weigh on global growth, inflation and the cost of raw materials, Pirelli has updated the 2026 market outlook and now foresees global Car tyre demand between “-3% and -1%” compared with the “-2% to stable” indicated in May. In detail: - the performance of the Standard segment is seen as “negative mid-single-digit” (compared with negative low-single-digit in May); - the demand in Original Equipment seen falling by about 3% (in line with car production ) compared with around -2% estimated in May. In High Value, the expectations are: - in the Replacement channel, mid-single-digit demand with performance improving in the second half supported by the demand trends in Europe and APAC as well as the recovery in North America; - in Original Equipment , a slight decline year on year (compared with prior forecasts of low single digit growth), which reflects the weak performance of China following the cessation of government incentives which underpinned demand last year. 2026 Targets In this scenario, Pirelli expects to gain market share in the High Value segment and to continue to reduce its exposure to Standard. The company therefore confirms the 2026 targets announced in May , updating some drivers on the basis on the external scenario. All targets are therefore confirmed: - Revenues between ~6.75 and ~6.95 billion euro, with: • Volumes expected at “~+0% / ~+1%” (previous indication between ~+1% / ~+2%); • price/mix confirmed at “~+2.5% /~+3%”; • impact of forex and perimeter variation (deconsolidation of Däckia) expected to improve to between “-2.5% / -1.5%” (previous indication -4% / -2%);

6 - Adjusted Ebit ~16%; - Investments at ~450 million euro (~6.5% of revenues); - Net cash generation before dividends and impact of Chinese jv Xushen Tyre at ~500 million euro; - Net financial position at ~-1.2 billion euro; - Rapporto fra NFP/ Ebitda Adjusted pari a ~0.75 volte The targets incorporate the impact of the Middle East crisis which, as announced in May , is expected to have an impact limited to 20 million euro on Adjusted Ebit, thanks to the mitigation actions underway and forecasts of a progressive normalization of commodity prices in the third quarter of 2026. *** Progress of the Sustainability Plan The company made significant progress in support of the targets of the Plan in the areas of People, Climate, Product and Nature. In the context of the People program, of which health and safety in the workplace are fundamental pillars, the index of accident frequency at the end of the first half had fallen by 54% compared with the first half of the previous year. In the area of Climate, the Decarbonization plan continues in line with expectations, thanks to energy efficiency projects and electrification of factory machinery and with 100% of the electric energy purchased by the Group coming from renewal sources already in 2025. At the end of the first half there was a consolidation of a reduction in absolute emissions of Scope 1 and 2 of 13.5% compared with the first half of the prior year. The reduction of absolute Scope 3 emissions (supply chain) continues in line with the 2027 target (-28% compared with 2018). The roadmap of the Product program in the first half saw the launch of partnerships in materials’ circularity, oriented to the construction of industrial supply chains that are scalable, economically sustainable, traceable and certified according to internationally recognized sustainability frameworks. In particular, Pirelli: - In the USA the company launched a partnership with Bolder Industries for the recovery of Carbon Black by pyrolysis, certified ISCC PLUS, for its relative re-use in new tyres. - In China, together with Xingda, ISCC PLUS certification was introduced for the recycled steel supply chain; - In Germany, together with Pyrum Innovations, BASF and Synthos, Pirelli guided the Tyre-to-Tyre project, through the constitution of a European supply chain which recovers end-of-life products and transforms them into Carbon Black and synthetic rubber to be re-used in the production of new tyres on an industrial scale and with a completely traceable process that is ISCC PLUS certified. In the Nature program, the specific drawing of water was further reduced by 6.7% at the group level, compared with the first half of the previous year. These results benefitted from the positive impact of ongoing efficiency projects and the progress of the electrification program , replacing steam, for vulcanization presses. At the end of the first half of 2026 the Company was re-confirmed at the top of its sector at the global level in the principal indices and ESG ratings including: - S&P Dow Jones Best-in-Class World and Dow Jones Best-in-Class Europe - “Top 1%” in Sustainability Yearbook 2026 of S&P Global - CDP - Climate A list - CDP - Supplier Engagement Assessment A List - ISS – ESG Corporate Rating - Prime Status - Sustainalytics – ESG Risk Rating - Negligible risk - FTSE Russell – FTSE4Good Index Series ***

9 Cashflow statement ALTERNATIVE PERFORMANCE INDICATORS This document, in addition to the financial measures provided for by the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), presents some measures derived from the latter, but not provided for by the IFRS (Non-GAAP Measures), in compliance with the ESMA Guidelines on Alternative Performance Indicators (ESMA/2015/1415 Guidelines) published on October 5, 2015. These measures are presented in order to allow for a better assessment of the Group's operating performance, and should not be considered as alternatives to those provided for by the IFRS. Specifically, the Non-GAAP Measures used were as follows: - EBITDA: equal to the EBIT but excludes the depreciation and amortisation of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets. The EBITDA is used to measure the ability to generate results from operations, excluding the impacts deriving from investments; - EBITDA adjusted: an alternative measure to the EBITDA which excludes non-recurring, restructuring and one-off expenses; - EBITDA margin: calculated by dividing the EBITDA by revenues from sales and services. This measure is used to evaluate operating efficiency, excluding the impacts deriving from investments; - EBITDA margin adjusted: calculated by dividing the EBITDA adjusted by revenues from sales and services. This measure is used to evaluate operating efficiency, excluding the impacts deriving from investments and the operating costs attributable to non-recurring, restructuring and one-off expenses; - EBIT: an intermediate measure which is derived from the net income/(loss), but which excludes taxes, financial income and financi al expenses and the net income/(loss) from equity investments. The EBIT is used to measure the ability to generate results from operations, including the impacts deriving from investments; - EBIT adjusted: an alternative measure to the EBIT which excludes the amortisation of intangible assets relative to assets recognised as a consequence of Business Combinations and the operating costs attributable to non -recurring, restructuring and one -off expenses; - EBIT margin: calculated by dividing the EBIT by revenues from sales and services. This measure is used to evaluate operating efficiency; - EBIT margin adjusted: calculated by dividing the EBIT adjusted by revenues from sales and services. This measure is used to evaluate operating efficiency, excluding the amortisation of intangible assets relative to assets recognised as a consequence of Business Combinations and the operating costs attributable to non-recurring, restructuring and one-off expenses; - Net income/(loss) adjusted: calculated by excluding the following items from the net income/(loss): o the amortisation of intangible assets relative to assets recognised as a consequence of Business Combinations and the operating costs attributable to non-recurring, restructuring and one-off expenses; o non-recurring expenses/income recognised under net income/(loss) from equity investments; o non-recurring expenses/income recognised under financial income and expenses; o non-recurring expenses/income recognised under taxes, as well as the tax impact relative to the adjustments referred to in the previous points; - Fixed assets: this measure is constituted by the sum of the Financial Statement items, “ Property, plant and equipment ”, “Intangible assets”, “Investments in associates and joint ventures”, “Other financial assets at fair value through other Comprehensive Income” and “Other non-current financial assets at fair value through the Income Statement”.
