Disclaimer

In the first half 2022, for the purposes of greater comparability with the first quarter 2021, in column "1H 2022 LFL",

the reclassified Income Statement and Balance Sheet report the income and financial figures at 30 June 2022 on a

like-for-likebasis, thus excluding D Scuola (fully consolidated economically as from 1 January 2022 and financially as from 31 December 2021).

The contribution of D Scuola in the first half can be considered not material due to the seasonality of the Education business which, in the first half of the year, records only the costs of creating editorial content as well as the expense from the promotional activities to support the adoption campaign, postponing the recognition of revenue from the sale of school textbooks to the second half of the year.

Under IFRS 5, at 30 June 2022 and for the sake of correct comparison also at 30 June 2021, the balance sheet amounts referring to Press-di Distribuzione Stampa Multimedia S.r.l., the 51% sale of which has been closed on July 7th, are reported under "Assets (Liabilities) disposed of or being disposed of".
