Piaggio Group: first half 2021

PRESS RELEASE

PIAGGIO GROUP: FIRST HALF 2021

Piaggio Group Chairman and CEO Roberto Colaninno: "The Piaggio Group closed the first half of 2021 with very positive results at global level, confirming the strong recovery that began in the second half of last year. Two-wheeler sales were up 49% from 30 June 2020 and 12.5% from 30 June 2019, despite severe difficulties in the first half in India due to long periods of total lockdown throughout the country. All the key income statement indicators improved, debt was cut by more than 125 million euro from the first half of 2020 and at the same time capital expenditure increased. The market's warm reception of our new products, at the cutting edge in terms of technology and Made in Italy style and design, demonstrates the success of the path we are following. Although the Covid pandemic risk remains high globally, the Group is therefore in a position to consolidate this positive trend over time."

Pontedera, 30 July 2021 - At a meeting today chaired by Roberto Colaninno, the Board of Directors of Piaggio & C. S.p.A. (PIA.MI) examined and approved the half-year report on operations as at and for the six months to 30 June 2021.

Piaggio Group business and financial performance at 30 June 20211

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.

1

Group consolidated net sales totalled 901.7 million euro, the best first-half result since 2007, with a strong increase of 50.3% (+54.3% at constant exchange rates) against 600.1 million euro in the first half of 2020.

The industrial gross margin was 261.9 million euro, up 52.6% (+53% at constant exchange rates) compared to 171.7 million euro at 30 June 2020. The return on net sales was 29.1% (28.6% at 30 June 2020).

Group operating expense in the first half to 30 June 2021 was 181.6 million euro, an increase of

34.6 million euro from the first half of 2020, when operations at the production plants were suspended due to the lockdowns around the world. The increase was also driven by the rise in turnover and vehicle sales.

The income-statement figures described above produced consolidated EBITDA of 144.6 million euro, the best first-halfresult since 2007, with a strong increase of 74% from 83.1 million euro in the first half to 30 June 2020. The EBITDA margin was 16% (13.8% at 30 June 2020).

EBIT amounted to 80.4 million euro, more than triple the result of 24.7 million euro at 30 June 2020. The EBIT margin was 8.9% (4.1% at 30 June 2020).

Pre-taxprofit in the first half was 70.2 million euro, a sharp increase from 15.1 million euro at 30 June 2020. Income tax for the period was 26.7 million euro, with an impact on pre-tax profit of about 38%.

The Piaggio Group posted a net profit of 43.5 million euro, its best first-half result since 2008, with a more than four-fold increase from 9.1 million euro in the first half of 2020.

Net financial debt at 30 June 2021 stood at 401.9 million euro, an improvement of 126.7 million euro from 528.5 million euro at 30 June 2020. Compared with the financial position at the end of the first half of 2020, which was severely affected by the block on sales as a result of the Covid-19pandemic, the reduction in debt was achieved through careful management of working capital and the operating cash flows generated by the Group's positive business performance, which also enabled absorption of a higher capital expenditure requirement. Compared with the net financial position at 31 December 2020 (423.6 million euro), the Group generated financial resources of 21.8 million euro.

Group shareholders' equity at 30 June 2021 was 411.8 million euro (372 million euro at 31

December 2020).

In the first half, Piaggio Group capital expenditure amounted to 69.1 million euro, an increase of 30.7% from expenditure of 52.8 million euro in the first half of 2020.

Operations in the first half to 30 June 2021

In the first half to 30 June 2021, the Piaggio Group sold 287,100 vehicles worldwide (+36.5% from 210,300 in the year-earlierperiod), and reported consolidated net sales of 901.7 million euro. The growth in volumes arose in all geographical regions.

Two-wheelers:

As of 30 June 2021, the Piaggio Group had sold 242,800 two-wheelers worldwide (+49% from 163,000 at 30 June 2020), generating net sales of 761 million euro, an increase of 62.7% from 467.6 million euro in the year-earlierfirst half.

The figure includes spares and accessories, on which turnover totalled 69.5 million euro, an increase of 29.6% from 53.6 million euro in the year-earlierperiod.

Two-wheeler sales in the first half of 2021 were particularly significant in all areas covered by the Group. Volumes grew by almost 25% on the European market, with an increase of about 50% in Italy. In Asia Pacific they rose by 66%, with the Chinese market reporting an increase of more than 90% and volumes more than doubling in America and India.

The Piaggio Group confirmed its leadership in the European scooter segment with a share of 23% and further strengthened its positioning on the North American scooter market, with a share of 35.1% (23.9% in the first half of 2020). In North America the Group is also working to consolidate its presence on the motorbike market with the Aprilia and Moto Guzzi brands.

On the scooter market, global sales rose by more than 50%, led by the Vespa brand, the three- wheel scooters, the new version of the Piaggio Beverly high-wheel scooter and the Aprilia scooters.

In motorcycles, the Aprilia brand reported an extremely successful first half, with the highest net sales since 2007 (more than double the year-earlierresult and up by over 50% on the first half of 2019), thanks to the new 660 cc Aprilia RS and Aprilia Tuono, which won a particularly positive response from the market, and the Aprilia RSV4 supersport model, whose sales rose by more than 70%.

The Moto Guzzi brand achieved a record first half, with its highest-ever sales volumes and net sales, notably for the Moto Guzzi V7 and V85TT.

Commercial vehicles:

In commercial vehicles, the Piaggio Group reported first-half sales volumes of 44,200 vehicles (-6.5% compared to 47,300 in the year-earlier period), with net sales of 140.7 million euro (+6.2% from 132.4 million euro at 30 June 2020). The figure includes spares and accessories, on which turnover totalled 21.7 million euro, an increase of 24.2% from 17.5 million euro in the year- earlier period.

At geographical level, performance was positive in the EMEA and Americas area (+72.3% volumes; +57.1% net sales), benefiting from the marketing launch of the new Porter NP6.

The slowdown in the commercial vehicles business was due to the slackening in India, where the Covid-19 health crisis worsened in the second quarter of the year, leading to a 16.8% fall in sales volumes in the first half to 30 June 2021.

Nevertheless, the PVPL subsidiary had an overall share of 23.7% of the Indian three-wheeler market and confirmed its leadership in the Cargo segment with a share of 37.7%.

Piaggio Fast Forward:

Piaggio Fast Forward (PFF), the Piaggio Group robotics and future mobility company based in Boston, continued the marketing of its first innovative project, gita, a unique follow-merobot carrier with a payload of 20 kg, designed to follow the user indoors and outdoors, at a top speed of 10 km/hour and with a 4-hourbattery life.

Gita is produced in the Piaggio Fast Forward factory in the Charlestown district of Boston. The first marketing phase 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 local food delivery.

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

Outlook

In a market context that remains positive, providing guidance remains complex given the uncertainty over the evolution of the pandemic, compounded by a series of difficulties such as the general rise in the cost of commodities and problems in transport logistics, especially from the Far East.

Against this general picture, in the year that it celebrates Moto Guzzi's centenary and Vespa's 75th anniversary, Piaggio will move ahead with the launch of the 11 new two-wheelers scheduled for 2021 and operations relating to the increase in expenditure announced at the beginning of the year with the new E-mobility department, the new factory in Indonesia and the complete restructuring of the Moto Guzzi production facility and museum areas.

Piaggio confirms that, as indicated when it published its first-quarter results, it will continue to work to meet its commitments and targets, maintaining all the necessary measures to ensure a flexible and immediate response to any difficult and unexpected situations that might arise, thanks to careful and efficient business and financial management.
