VEGA C selected to launch SMILE mission

• On April 30th, 2024 ESA and Arianespace signed a contract which ensures the launch into orbit of SMILE mission on a VEGA C rocket
• The goal of SMILE ("Solar wind Magnetosphere Ionosphere Link Explorer") mission is to provide a more complete understanding of the interaction between the Sun and Earth

• Launch date currently expected for late 2025: the exact launch period will be defined at a later time
• Arianespace is currently the operator and the launch service provider of VEGA C. This mandate to be transferred to Avio under the implementation of the Resolution adopted by ESA in Seville on 6 and 7 November 2023

# ~1,300 motors

• High level of defense propulsion orders in Q1 2024 (approx. €80m in Q1 2024 vs. €120m for the entire
  2023)

• Steep increase in Aster, CAMM-ER and MARTE production
• Excludes NAREW and other potential upside opportunities

Main comments

• In Q1 2024 order intakes amounted to approx. €100m and are mainly composed of:
• • Defense propulsion for approx. €80m, mainly for ASTER missile production
  • Vega for approx. €15m, mainly for development activities
• Defense propulsion activities reached 23% of total backlog at the end of Q1 2024, approx. half of Vega backlog and currently higher than Ariane backlog waiting for Ariane 6 maiden flight
• At the end of Q1 2024 60% of backlog is for production activities and 40% for development activities
