Francesca Barontini, CEO of ErreDue, commented: “The first half of 2026 closed with extraordinary results, with our turnover almost doubling and net profit growing by over 148 per cent. This positive trend was driven both by the strong consolidation of the laboratory sector – which benefited from last year’s investment in brand positioning – and by our ability to respond promptly to the demands of the Energy Transition with the delivery of five new megawatt-scale hydrogen plants using PEM and alkaline technology. Despite the operational challenges linked to our current production capacity, whilst we await the completion of the new plant in Livorno, the market’s response confirms the validity of our technological and vertical integration strategy. With a backlog of around 27 million euros, we look forward with great confidence to the second half of the year and to 2027.” ***

The breakdown of revenue by business segment is set out below: (thousands of euros) as at 30/06/2026 % as at 30/06/2025 % Change % change Generators and other products 10,706 75.4% 4,062 56.2% 6,644 163.6% Service and spare parts 2,110 14.9% 1,910 26.4% 200 10.5% Generator hire 1,391 9.8% 1,250 17.3% 141 11.3% Total 14,208 100.0% 7,222 100.0% 6,986 96.7% The breakdown of revenue by category shows: • Sales of generators and other products: €10.7 million (+164% compared with €4.1 million as at 30 June 2025), strongly driven by new solutions for the energy transition; • Service and Spare Parts: €2.1 million (+10.5% compared with €1.9 million as at 30 June 2025). The service and spare parts division has confirmed its highly strategic importance, recording growth of 10.5%. This performance is directly attributable to the gradual expansion of the installed base of machinery at our customers’ sites, both nationally and internationally. This is a structural trend, set to generate ever-increasing recurring revenue in the coming financial years, further consolidating customer loyalty and ensuring a stable, high-margin revenue base. • Rental Solutions (Generator Hire): €1.39 million (+11.3% compared with €1.25 million as at 30 June 2025). Rental revenue recorded an increase of 11.3 per cent; this segment also guarantees a steady and recurring revenue stream, with organic growth driven both by the signing of new contracts each year and by the application of contractually stipulated ISTAT adjustments. The latter factor ensures that rental rates are automatically adjusted in line with inflation, preserving the service’s real margins over time.

In non-EU markets, turnover grew by +104.9% (€2.1 million). The EU region recorded a decline of €0.6 million (-72.2%) over the period, due to the planned postponement of deliveries to the second half of 2026 (where an EU backlog of €4.5 million has already been secured). EBITDA for the first half of 2026 stood at €4.1 million, representing a significant increase of 127.0% compared with €1.8 million in the previous comparable period. This result confirms the strength of the Company’s core operations and its consistent ability to generate significant operating margins. The EBITDA margin stood at 28.9 per cent, an improvement on the 25.0 per cent recorded in the previous half-year. This increase in profitability is driven primarily by a marked operational leverage effect: the strong growth in turnover has, in fact, absorbed fixed costs, which have risen at a less than proportional rate. Below EBITDA, depreciation and amortisation amounted to €0.9 million, in line with the first half of 2025, resulting in an EBIT of €3.2 million (22.3% of sales revenue) compared with €0.9 million (12% of sales revenue) recorded in the first half of 2025. Net profit reached €2.4 million, up 148.4% from €1.0 million in the first half of 2025. Net working capital as at 30 June 2026 stood at €5.5 million (compared with €3.9 million as at 31 December 2025). In particular, inventories amounted to €14.1 million, up from €9.6 million as at 31 December 2025. This change is attributable to the increase in finished goods, work in progress and purchased materials, and is intended to support the significant growth expected in the business. Equity stands at €35.7 million, up from €34.5 million as at 31 December 2025, despite dividends of €1.25 million having been paid to shareholders – although these were drawn from previously accumulated profit reserves, without affecting the profit for the current period. Net financial debt shows a net cash position of €10.9 million (compared with €14.7 million as at 31 December 2025), partly offset by investments made in the new industrial site. *** As at 30 June 2026, the Company had a total order book of approximately €27 million, of which 50 per cent relates to the current year, amounting to approximately €13 million, and 50 per cent relates to the following year, confirming the significant growth expected for the second half of 2026 and for the 2027 financial year. ***

The supply includes two PEM electrolysers, advanced water treatment systems and gas purification systems. On 3 March 2026, ErreDue signed an international contract worth approximately €800,000 with a leading industrial group in Central Europe, based in the Czech Republic, for the supply of a 0.5 MW alkaline hydrogen production plant. The contract, intended for a strategic project within the framework of European initiatives for hydrogen development, strengthens the Company’s presence in international energy transition markets. On 15 April 2026, ErreDue and ENEA extended the Collaboration Agreement, which began in 2022, for a further 36 months, until November 2028, to develop innovative technological solutions for hydrogen production via electrolysis. The partnership will continue with research and development activities focused, amongst other things, on next-generation electrolysers, integration with renewable energy sources and storage systems, as well as on innovative components such as membranes, electrodes and catalysts. On 22 April 2026, ErreDue signed a contract worth approximately €900,000 with a leading international player in the steel industry for the supply of a 0.5 MW green hydrogen production plant, intended for a production facility in Uganda. The plant, comprising two alkaline electrolysers of 250 kW each, will be used in steel heat treatment processes and will enable the replacement of traditional gas supplies delivered in cylinders, bringing benefits in terms of safety, logistical efficiency and operating costs. *** KEY DEVELOPMENTS SINCE THE END OF THE FIRST HALF OF 2026 On 2 July 2026, ErreDue announced that it had been selected from among the one hundred companies listed on the Borsa Italiana that make up the Intermonte Valore Italia Index, dedicated to SMEs with a market capitalisation of less than one billion euros and not included in the FTSE MIB. On 21 July 2026, ErreDue finalised the acquisition of the historic “PIEL” brand from MCPHY ENERGY for a consideration of 100,000 euros. The sale covers full ownership of the “PIEL” brand, a leading brand in the sector for brazing machinery and technologies. On 10 September 2026, ErreDue signed a new contract with Cargill – an international group operating in the food, agricultural and industrial sectors – for the supply of a hydrogen generation system based on alkaline electrolysis technology, with a total capacity of approximately 0.5 MW and a value of approximately €900,000. ESG POLICIES ErreDue has always been highly attentive to ESG issues and demonstrates its commitment through concrete actions and a solid set of corporate certifications. In terms of social responsibility and governance, the Company has established a dedicated committee and, in 2024, obtained UNI/PdR 125:2022 certification for

This standard, aligned with the UN 2030 Agenda, the PNRR and UNI ISO 30415:2021, confirms the company’s commitment to creating a fair and inclusive working environment. With a view to protecting workers and proactively managing risks, the company is also certified to UNI EN ISO 45001:2018 for occupational health and safety, with a plan to align with the new 2023 version scheduled for completion by the end of 2026. With regard to the management and protection of sensitive data, an assessment is currently underway for UNI EN ISO 27001:2024 certification, which will also facilitate compliance with the European NIS Directive, with the aim of obtaining it by the first half of 2027.In the field of environmental sustainability and energy efficiency, ErreDue has implemented an Environmental Management System certified to UNI EN ISO 14001:2015 and has obtained certification for its Energy Management System to UNI EN ISO 50001:2018 to improve its performance and reduce its energy impact. To quantify and report its total greenhouse gas emissions, the Company has obtained Carbon Footprint certification in accordance with the UNI EN ISO 14064-1:2019 standard; the analyses for the reference year 2025 will be completed by the end of 2026 to guide the ongoing decarbonisation process. Finally, as further evidence of its commitment to its products, ErreDue is currently drafting the Environmental Product Declaration (EPD under the Environdec scheme) for its hydrogen electrolysers, with certification expected by mid-2027. All these tools and methodologies will also be integrated into the development of the new ‘Giga Factory’ and the new production hall, designed to incorporate the most advanced technologies for energy saving, efficient resource management and the reduction of environmental impact, in line with the company’s strategic sustainability objectives. *** FORECAST OPERATING PERFORMANCE AND BACKLOG As at 30 June 2026, the Company recorded a total backlog of approximately €27 million, plus €1.3 million in in-house construction for leased machinery. Approximately 50 per cent of this portfolio will be fulfilled in the second half of 2026 (€10.5 million from generator sales and €3 million from leases and maintenance), with the remaining 50 per cent in 2027, confirming the strong growth prospects for the coming months. The increase in orders is driven 53 per cent by the energy transition sector (with five additional megawatt- scale plants, both PEM and alkaline), but also shows a clear recovery in the traditional industrial market (37 per cent), particularly in the metalworking and automotive sectors. Against this backdrop, the positive trend continues for the Saturn range of ultrapure nitrogen generators, which guarantee purity levels of up to 99.9999 per cent and operating costs reduced by a third compared with competitors, paving the way for a commercial expansion plan in overseas markets. Confirming its commitment to further strengthening and diversifying its position in the traditional market, on 21 July 2026 the Company finalised the acquisition of the historic “PIEL” brand from MCPhy Energy, for a consideration of €100,000. The transaction constitutes a horizontal integration of the traditional business: the PIEL brand is, in fact, a benchmark in the brazing and soldering machinery sector, a segment in which the Company intends to regain and expand its market share by capitalising on the breadth of its product range and the accessibility of the technology offered, without compromising on high quality standards.

The new site will enable the Company to expand production capacity, streamline order fulfilment and strengthen the vertical integration model, with direct benefits for margins and operational flexibility. Higher production volumes have already enabled a strong recovery in non-EU markets (+104.9% in turnover in the first half of the year, driven by the laboratory range). In Europe, following a temporary slowdown due to the priority given to domestic deliveries, an existing order backlog of €4.5 million will enable turnover in this market to return to levels broadly in line with those recorded in the previous financial year. *** FILING OF DOCUMENTATION The documentation relating to the Half-Yearly Report as at 30 June 2026, as required by current legislation, will be made available to the public at the registered office (Via Gozzano, No. 3 – Livorno) as well as through publication on the Company’s website www.erreduegas.it, under the ‘Investor Relations/Financial Statements and Reports’ section, in accordance with the law, and on the website www.borsaitaliana.it, under the ‘Shares/Documents’ section *** ErreDue’s results for the first half of 2026 will be presented to the financial community on 5 October 2026 during a video conference at 10.00 am (CET).
