2026-2030 BUSINESS PLAN
With the 2026–2030 Business Plan, approved on 16 December 2025 and presented at the Capital Markets Day held on 12 February 2026, Fincantieri capitalizes on the opportunities offered by the growth macrotrend in all its businesses, adapting the Group’s strength and production flexibility to meet the expected acceleration in demand in the coming years. Through divisional, transversal and inorganic initiatives, the Group aims to strengthen its global footprint, enhance production efficiency and further develop its portfolio of highly technological solutions, supported by targeted investments and a reconfiguration of its system of shipyards to increase its capacity and enhance profitability.
CAPITAL INCREASE RESERVED TO QUALIFIED AND/OR INSTITUTIONAL INVESTORS
On 18 February 2026, Fincantieri announced the successful completion of a capital increase by means of an accelerated bookbuild procedure, with the placement of n. 32,588,445 ordinary shares for a total amount of approximately euro 500 million. The placement, reserved for qualified and/or institutional investors, was met with a very positive response, with a book multiple times oversubscribed. The transaction allows the Company to further enhance its financial flexibility and provides optionality and acceleration in the implementation of its strategy and Business Plan. It also broadens the Company’s institutional shareholder base and the liquidity of the stock by increasing the free float to approximately 36% of the share capital.

Rome, 25 March 2026 – The Board of Directors of Fincantieri S.p.A. ("Fincantieri" or the "Company"), chaired by Mr. Biagio Mazzotta, has approved the draft financial statements of the parent company at 31 December 2025 and the Consolidated financial statements at 31 December 2025[2].
Pierroberto Folgiero, Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director of Fincantieri, said:
"We are very pleased with the record results achieved in 2025 in economic, financial and commercial terms, even in a complex global environment. The double-digit increase in revenue and EBITDA, with the highest net profit in our history and further deleveraging, demonstrate the strength of an industrial footprint that combines resilience with the ability to seize opportunities in global markets. The year marked a significant progress across all business segments, both in operational and commercial terms. The 97 vessels currently in our order book and a backlog visibility extended up to 2037 ensure extremely robust operational prospects for our shipyards, structurally strengthening our competitive positioning and that of our supply chain, particularly in the Cruise segment. We are preparing to capture further growth in demand in the Defense sector, by doubling the production capacity of Italian shipyards, thereby strengthening Fincantieri’s role in the maritime security and industrial sovereignty. At the same time, in the underwater sector, we are accelerating our growth thanks to state-of-the-art underwater technologies, our ability to integrate the entire supply chain, and a network of strategic partnerships. This enables us to provide a distinctive offering to the market and act as the orchestrator of an integrated ecosystem in a crucial domain for the protection of critical infrastructure and for the most innovative offshore applications.”
Folgiero concluded: “The new 2026-2030 Business Plan capitalizes on the markets macro-trends where we operate, by redesigning our shipbuilding operations to increase capacity and efficiency, while developing increasingly advanced solutions: we are entering a phase of evolution that deeply integrates the digital, maritime, and underwater dimensions. This trajectory strengthens the Group’s global profile and consolidates Fincantieri as a leading industrial platform for the maritime security technologies and blue economy of the future.”

ALTERNATIVE PERFORMANCE MEASURES
Fincantieri’s management reviews the performance of the Group and its business segments, also using certain measures not envisaged by IFRS. In particular, EBITDA, in the configuration monitored by the Group, is used as the main earnings indicator, as it enables the Group’s underlying marginality to be assessed without the impact of volatility associated with non-recurring items or extraordinary items outside the ordinary course of business (see the reclassified consolidated income statement given in the section commenting on the Group’s economic and financial results); the EBITDA configuration adopted by the Group might not be consistent with the configurations adopted by other companies. As required by Consob Communication no. 0092543 of 3 December 2015 which implements the ESMA Guidelines on Alternative Performance Measures (document no. ESMA/2015/1415), the components of each of these measures are described below:
EBITDA: this is equal to pre-tax earnings, before financial income and expenses, before income and expenses from investments and before depreciation, amortization and impairment, as reported in the financial statements, adjusted to exclude the following items: provisions for costs and legal expenses associated with asbestos-litigation; costs relating to reorganization plans and other non-recurring personnel costs; other extraordinary income and expenses.
EBIT: this is equal to EBITDA after deducting recurring depreciation, amortization and impairment of a recurring nature (this excludes impairment of goodwill, other intangible assets and property, plant and equipment recognized as a result of impairment tests or after specific considerations on the recoverability of individual assets).
Adjusted profit/(loss) for the period: this is equal to profit/(loss) for the period before adjustments for non-recurring items or those outside the ordinary course of business, which are reported before the related tax effect.
Net fixed capital: this reports the fixed assets used in ordinary operations and includes the following items: “Intangible assets”, “Rights of use”, “Property, plant and equipment”, “Investments”, “Non-current financial assets” and “Other assets” (including the fair value of derivatives classified in “Non-current Financial assets”) net of Employee benefits.
Net working capital: this is equal to capital employed in ordinary operations which includes “Inventories and advances”, “Construction contracts and client advances”, “Trade receivables”, “Trade payables”, “Other provisions for risks and charges” and “Other current assets and liabilities” (including “Income tax assets”, “Income tax liabilities”, “Deferred tax assets” and “Deferred tax liabilities”, as well as the fair value of derivatives classified in “Current financial assets”).
Net invested capital: this is calculated as the sum of Net fixed capital, Net working capital and Assets held for sale.
Net debt, in accordance with ESMA guidelines, includes: Net current cash/(debt): cash and cash equivalents, current financial assets, current financial payables and current portion of medium/long-term loans; Net non-current cash/(debt): non-current bank debt and other non-current financial payables.
Net debt adjusted includes: Net current cash/(debt): cash and cash equivalents, current financial assets, current financial payables and current portion of medium/long-term loans; Net non-current cash/(debt): non-current bank debt, other non-current financial payables and non-current financial receivables.
Net debt / EBITDA: this is calculated as the ratio between the Net debt and EBITDA (on a 12-month basis, 1 January – 31 December).
Revenue and income: this is equal to the sum of Operating revenue and Other revenue and income.
Provisions: these refer to increases in the Provisions for risks and charges, and impairment of Trade receivables and Other non-current and current assets.

[1] As at 31 December 2024, net debt included a significant receivable, which, following a renegotiation in December 2025, was reclassified as a non-current financial receivable, and therefore no longer included in net debt under the ESMA definition. For better comparability, in presenting the financial results as of 31 December 2025, it was deemed appropriate to also include, as an alternative performance measure, the net debt adjusted, which specifically includes non-current financial receivables
