The impact of the application of IFRS 16 was approximately €57.6 million with a negative sign (negative impact of approximately €52.4 million as at 30 June 2025). Compared to 30 June 2025, the impact deriving from the application of IFRS 16 was negative and amounted to approximately €5.2 million. This change is mainly attributable to the opening of new stores for approximately €1.3 million and the renewal of leases relating to existing boutiques for approximately €19.6 million, net of the payment of rental instalments of €15.7 million. The adjusted Net Financial Position1 of the Piquadro Group, positive and equal to approximately 16.3 million Euros, compares with the adjusted net financial position as of 31 March 2026 of 20.7 million Euros. The change compared to 31 March 2026 is mainly attributable to seasonal dynamics that affect the Group's commercial cycle. The adjusted1 Net Financial Position of the Piquadro Group improved by €8.4 million compared with 30 June 2025, when it was positive at €7.9 million. The improvement was driven by positive free cash flow, net of taxes, of approximately €10.6 million, a €7.8 million release of net working capital and a positive €2.6 million impact arising from the settlement of the financial liability owed to Richemont Holdings A.G. These positive effects were partially offset by investments in intangible, tangible and financial assets of approximately €5.6 million and by the payment of €7.0 million in dividends by the Parent Company. "During the quarter, we continued with determination along the path of repositioning the Piquadro and The Bridge brands, a strategy aimed at strengthening the Group’s brands and improving their perception among consumers,” commented Marco Palmieri, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Piquadro Group. “This path involves a selective rationalisation of stores and wholesale partners, favouring quality over distribution coverage. This strategy continues to be reflected in the growth of the direct channels, both retail and digital, which are recording positive performances, while the wholesale channel is showing a decline consistent with our positioning choices. In light of the order intake for the current season and the positive development of the direct channels, we believe that the Group can return to a path of revenue growth during the current financial year. The Net Financial Position confirms the Group’s financial solidity. The cash flows generated were positive, demonstrating the Company’s ability to combine strategic investments with robust cash generation.” Summary economic and financial data and definition of alternative performance indicators (IAPs) The Piquadro Group uses Alternative Performance Indicators (IAPs) in order to more effectively transmit information on the profitability trend of the businesses in which it operates, as well as on its

balance sheet and financial situation. In accordance with the guidelines published on 5 October 2015 by the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA/2015/1415) and in line with the provisions of Consob communication 92543 of 3 December 2015, the content and the criterion for determining the IAPs used in this press release are set out below. The Net Financial Position ("NFP") used as a financial indicator of indebtedness is represented as the sum of the following positive and negative components of the financial position, as required by CONSOB Warning no. 5/21 of 29 April 2021 and ESMA Guidelines 32-382-1138 of 4 March 2021. Positive components: cash and cash equivalents, securities ready to dispose of current assets, short-term financial receivables. Negative components: payables to banks, payables to other lenders, leasing and factoring companies, non-current portion of trade payables and other payables. The adjusted Net Financial Position ("adjusted NFP") is defined as the Net Financial Position excluding the effects deriving from the application of IFRS 16. Piquadro S.p.A. also informs that, pursuant to Article 84-bis, paragraph 5 of the Issuers' Regulation no. 11971/99 and subsequent amendments, the Board of Directors of the Company today, given the achievement of the performance targets of the First Vesting Period 2023/2024 already ascertained on 7 August 2024, and the existence of all the conditions to which the allocation of the shares was subject as specified in the Stock Grant Plan regulations 2023-2027, against the 237,000 rights originally assigned, resolved to allocate a total of 109,500 ordinary shares of the Company to the beneficiaries of the Plan through the use of shares already available to the issuer.
