Pontedera, 2 May 2022 - At a meeting today chaired by Roberto Colaninno, the Board of Directors of Piaggio & C. S.p.A. (PIA.MI) examined and approved the interim report on operations as at and for the three months to 31 March 2022.

Piaggio Group business and financial performance at 31 March 20221

Group consolidated net sales totalled 455.8 million euro, the best first-quarter result ever reported, with an increase of 18.5% (+15.5% at constant exchange rates) against 384.7 million euro in the first quarter of 2021.

The industrial gross margin was 116.8 million euro, an increase of 5% compared to 111.2 million euro at 31 March 2021. The return on net sales was 25.6 % (28.9% at 31 March 2021).

1 The main alternative performance indicators used by the Piaggio Group, representing the data monitored by management, are as follows:

• • EBITDA: earnings (EBIT) before amortisation and depreciation and impairment losses on property, plant and equipment, intangible assets, and rights of use, as reflected in the consolidated income statement;

• • Industrial gross margin: net sales less costs to sell;

• • Net financial position: gross financial debt less cash and cash equivalents, and other current financial receivables. Determination of the net financial position does not include other financial assets and liabilities arising from measurement at fair value, derivatives designated or not as hedges, fair value adjustments of the related hedged items and related accruals.

Group operating expense was 89.1 million euro, an increase of 1.5 million euro. The rise in operating expense was closely linked to the improvement in net sales and shipments.

The income-statement figures described above produced consolidated EBITDA of 60.1 million euro, the best first-quarter result to date, with an increase of 7.2% (+8% at constant exchange rates) from 56 million euro in the first quarter to 31 March 2021. The EBITDA margin was 13.2% (14.6% at 31 March 2021).

EBIT amounted to 27.7 million euro, a rise of 17.5% from 23.5 million euro at 31 March 2021.

The EBIT margin was 6.1% (6.1% at 31 March 2021).

Pre-tax profit in the first three months was 20.4 million euro, up 10.4% from 18.5 million euro at 31 March 2021. Income tax for the period was 7.8 million euro, with an impact on pre-tax profit of 38%.

The Piaggio Group's net profit of 12.7 million euro was its best-ever first-quarter result, with an improvement of 14.1% against 11.1 million euro in the first quarter of 2021.

Net financial debt at 31 March 2022 stood at 441.1 million euro, an improvement of 7.5 million euro from 448.6 million euro at 31 March 2021. The net financial position at 31 December 2021 was 380.3 million euro, giving cash absorption of 60.7 million euro in the first quarter of 2022. The two-wheeler business is subject to seasonal trends, absorbing resources in the first half of the year and generating resources in the second half.

Group shareholders' equity at 31 March 2022 was 417.5 million euro (404.1 million euro at 31

December 2021).

In the first quarter, Piaggio Group capital expenditure amounted to 26.6 million euro, from 35.6 million euro in the first quarter of 2021.

Operations in the first quarter to 31 March 2022

In the first quarter to 31 March 2022, the Piaggio Group sold 141,800 vehicles worldwide (+5% from 135,000 in the year-earlier period), and reported consolidated net sales of 455.8 million euro. At geographical level, the increase in volumes was particularly strong in Asia Pacific (+32.8%), followed by EMEA and Americas (+22.6%). The Indian market continued to be affected by the negative repercussions of the pandemic and reported a downturn in sales volumes.

Two-wheelers:

As of 31 March 2022, the Group had sold 119,000 two-wheelers worldwide (+15.3% from 103,200 at 31 March 2021), generating net sales of 374,000 million euro, an increase of 26% from 296.9 million euro in the year-earlier first quarter.

The figure includes spares and accessories, on which turnover totalled 29.4 million euro (29.6 million euro at 31 March 2021).

Two-wheeler sales in the first quarter of 2022 were particularly strong in Asia Pacific (+32.8%), followed by EMEA (+27.6%) and Americas (+25.8%).

In Europe, the Piaggio Group confirmed its leadership in the scooter segment with a share of 21% and maintained a strong positioning on the North American scooter market, with a share of 25.3%. In North America the Group is also working to consolidate its presence on the motorcycle market with the Aprilia and Moto Guzzi brands.

The scooter sector reported an increase of more than 12.4% in global sales, driven primarily by the Vespa brand, which recorded a double-digit rise in volumes and significant performance in Europe, America and Asia Pacific (especially in Indonesia, China and Vietnam), and by Aprilia scooters.

In motorcycles, where overall sales rose by around 45%, Moto Guzzi reported a very strong first quarter, with volumes and net sales showing double-digit growth, thanks in particular to sales of the Moto Guzzi V7 and V85TT. The first quarter was also extremely positive for Aprilia motorcycles, chiefly as a result of sales of the new Aprilia Tuareg and Aprilia RS 660 cc, which benefited from the excellent performance of Aprilia Racing in the MotoGP championship.

Commercial vehicles:

In commercial vehicles, the Piaggio Group reported sales volumes of 22,800 vehicles (-28.5% compared to the figure of 31,900 at 31 March 2021), with net sales of 81.8 million euro (-6.8% from 87.8 million euro at 31 March 2021. The figure includes spares and accessories, where turnover totalled 12.7 million euro (+12.8 million euro at 31 March 2021).

At geographical level, the EMEA and Americas markets reported turnover growth of more than 13%; on the Italian market in particular, sales of the new Porter NP6 were a key factor.

The reduction in sales volumes of commercial vehicles originated largely from a fall in volumes (-27.8%) in India, which is still affected by the pandemic.

The PVPL subsidiary had an overall share of 16.8% of the Indian three-wheeler market and maintained a strong position in the Cargo segment with a share of 32.2%.

Piaggio Fast Forward:

Piaggio Fast Forward (PFF), the Piaggio Group robotics and future mobility company based in Boston, expanded its offer with the presentation in September of gitamini®, a new robot that condenses the technology and functions of gita®, its revolutionary "big brother", in a lighter, more compact design.

Gita® and gitamini® are made in the Piaggio Fast Forward plant in Boston's Charlestown district. The first marketing phase for the robots focuses on the US market, where the circulation of robots on city streets is already regulated.

PFF kicked off a series of pilot programs, together with partners active in various business sectors, to test further applications for gita in the travel, residential and retail sectors and in last-mile delivery.

In March, PFF announced an agreement with Trimble, a Nasdaq-listed company, to develop robots and machines to follow humans and other devices in industrial applications.

Significant events in and after the first quarter of 2022

Supplementing the information published above or at the time of approval of the 2021 draft financial statements (directors' meeting of 2 March 2022), this section illustrates key events in and after the first quarter of 2022.

On 10 March, the Piaggio Group and Santander Consumer Finance (Santander) signed a long-term global cooperation agreement for the development of retail financial services to support the Piaggio Group's commercial organisation and distribution network on local markets around the world.

On 15 March, the Rome Capital Local Police Corps presented the new Moto Guzzi V85TT motorcycles in their fleet at an event attended by the Mayor of Rome, Roberto Gualtieri, the Corps Commander Ugo Angeloni, the Deputy Commanders and the heads of the Local Police units. The fleet will be enhanced with 100 new two-wheelers as part of its modernisation and upgrading program.

On 18 March, at the first MotoGP race in Indonesia, the Piaggio Group announced the development of a new plant in Jakarta, on a 55,000 sq.m site. The facility is due to open by the end of the year. At the Lombok race-track, the Group also presented the new Aprilia SR GT to the Asian markets.

On 25 March, during the celebrations for the 30th anniversary of Italy's National Territorial Emergency Service (the so-called 118 service), Piaggio presented the Piaggio MP3 Life Support three-wheel scooter for the Italian Red Cross. The Piaggio MP3 Life Support is already used by the national emergency services in several countries, including the UK, France, Australia and Israel; with more than 650 Piaggio scooters, Israel has made the three-wheeler a key element of its emergency fleet.

On 3 April, Aprilia won the Argentina GP with Aleix Espargarò, its first victory in the MotoGP class. For the Noale-based company, one of the most successful names in motorcycle racing, this was the 295th win in world motor-racing, and the first in the new four-stroke age of the top two-wheeler championship after its countless victories in the 125 and 250 cc categories.

On 20 April, pre-booking opened for the exclusive Vespa Sprint designed by international popstar Justin Bieber. JUSTIN BIEBER X VESPA is available in 50, 125 and 150 cc displacements.

Russia - Ukraine crisis

The Piaggio Group is paying close attention to developments in the Russia - Ukraine crisis, which has begun to trigger rises in the costs of raw materials and energy and could have significant repercussions for the world economy, in part as a result of the sanctions that have already been introduced or are under discussion. The extreme geographical diversification of the Group's sales and procurements means that its exposure in the area of the conflict is substantially non-existent.

Outlook

Although it is difficult to provide guidance given the continuing difficulties relating to rising commodities prices, logistics, geopolitical tensions and developments in the pandemic, thanks to its unique brand portfolio, Piaggio will continue along its planned path of growth, confirming its planned investments in new products and new facilities and strengthening its commitment to ESG issues.

In this general situation, as always, the Group Piaggio will go on working to meet its commitments and objectives, keeping a constant focus on efficient management of its economic and financial structure so that it can respond immediately and in a flexible manner to the challenges of the coming months.
