The review of operations in the consolidated annual report may be consulted for further information on operations and growth strategies. The items in the reclassified income statement which shows costs by function are given below with the relative percentage of revenue(1) and the change compared with the previous year: € (thousands) 2021 % of revenue 2020 % of revenue Changes 2021/2020 % Net revenue (1) 464,719 100.0 449,421 100.0 15,298 3.4 Cost of sales (182,444) (39.3) (178,807) (39.8) (3,637) 2.0 Gross profit 282,275 60.7 270,614 60.2 11,661 4.3 Selling expenses (67,146) (14.4) (45,944) (10.2) (21,202) 46.1 R&D expenses (43,148) (9.3) (38,824) (8.6) (4,324) 11.1 G&A expenses (41,126) (8.8) (29,590) (6.6) (11,536) 39,0 Other income (expense), net (7,014) (1.5) (3,655) (0.8) (3,359) 91,9 Operating income 123,841 26.7 152,601 34.0 (28,760) (18.8) Dividends 123,854 26.6 132,785 29.5 (8,931) (6.7) Write‐down of investments 0 (0.0) (2,539) (0.5) 2,539 n.s.

Net revenue came to € 464.7 million, up € 15.3 million compared with the previous year, thanks to the sales of Eligard © (leuprelin acetate) in January, following the licensing agreement with Tolmar International Ltd, which more than offset the reduction in sales of other products, partly due to the distorting effects on the market in the first half of 2020, coinciding with the start of the pandemic and the significant demand for medicines by the Company's customers, as well as to the subsequent policy of reducing the level of the stock carried out by the distribution channel. Marketing of Isocef® was suspended at the beginning of 2021 due to the temporary unavailability of the product on the market, with a negative impact of € 4.0 million compared with the previous year. We also report the reduction of € 4.4 million in sales of Urorec® due to the loss of exclusivity. Good performance was recorded by the self‐medication products Alovex®, Proctolyn®, Eumill® and Transact‐Lat®. Net revenue from pharmaceutical chemicals, consisting on sales of the active ingredients produced at the Campoverde di Aprilia plant, amounted to € 48.5 million, down 0.9% compared with 2020.
4 Gross profit, which came to € 282.3 million, was up € 11.7 million compared with 2020, amounting to 60.7%, of net revenue, an improvement compared with 60.2% of sales in the previous year, due to the favourable sales mix. Selling expenses increased by € 21.2 million (46.1%) due to both royalties payable to Tolmar International Ltd. on the new Eligard® product and to distribution expenses due to Astellas prior to the transfer of the Eligard® marketing authorisation to Recordati. In addition, expenses for advertising and “external operating efforts” increased compared with the previous year when greater restrictions caused by the Covid‐19 epidemic were in force and the Company benefited from subsidies during the most acute phase of the pandemic, with a consequent increase as a percentage of revenue. R&D expenses came to € 43.1 million accounting for 9.3% of net revenue, up 11.1% compared with the previous year, mainly due to the costs incurred while waiting for the transfer of marketing authorisations for Eligard® in various countries and due to an increase in amortisation for the rights on that same product acquired under licence from Tolmar International in January 2021. General and administrative expenses increased by 39.0% due to improvements to the general co‐ordination of operations designed to manage an increasingly complex portfolio and in particular to support the management of new corporate products. The increase is mainly attributable to personnel costs which, with higher average staff numbers, increased compared with 2020 when spending on incentive schemes was lower due to the reduction in activities caused by the COVID‐19 pandemic. Costs were also incurred for the selection of new managers. We also report costs charged by subsidiaries for adjustments to product transfer prices for compliance with the arm's length principle. Other income and expenses, net amounted to € 7.0 million and included the following: € 4.0 million incurred for the project to acquire EUSA Pharma (UK) Ltd (a global specialty pharmaceutical company focused on niche rare and oncological diseases); € 2.4 million for voluntary redundancy agreements; € 1.5 million of costs incurred for the COVID‐19 health emergency to improve workplace safety and for the purchase of personal protective equipment and for donations to associations that care for the less well‐off. Operating income amounted to € 123.8 million, accounting for 26.7% of net revenue, down notwithstanding the improvement in gross profit compared with 34.0% in the previous year, due to the increase in operating expenses described above. Dividends from subsidiaries came to € 123.9 million, down € 8.9 million compared with 2020. The write‐down of investments recognised in the previous year, amounting to € 2.5 million, related to the UK subsidiary Recordati Pharmaceuticals Ltd. Financial expenses amounted to € 16.5 million. The increase of € 3.2 million compared with the previous year was due primarily to the recognition in 2020 of the positive effects of the repayment of two intragroup loans and close down of the relative cross‐currency swap contracts. The reduction in taxes of € 22.8 million compared with the previous year was mainly due to the ACE (Aid to Economic Growth) tax benefit resulting from the merger of the Company’s parent companies into it, for which the company inherited a tax benefit of € 12.9 million from Rossini Investimenti S.p.A. It was also due to the impact of the reduction in pre‐tax income. Net income amounted to € 219.1 million.
5 A brief summary is given below of the net financial position, while further details are given in item 43 of the notes to the financial statements. € (thousands) 31.12.2021 31.12.2020 Change 2021/2020 Cash and cash equivalents and other short term receivables 188,521 160,526 27,995 Current debt (1) (723,404) (651,056) (72,348) Net current financial position (534,883) (490,530) (44,353) Loans and receivables ‐ due after one year 131,711 150,693 (18,982) Borrowings – due after one year (2) (709,364) (707,078) (2,286) Net financial position (1,112,536) (1,046,915) (65,621) (1) Current debt includes borrowings due within one year, amounts due to banks and other short‐term liabilities. (2) Inclusive of the fair value of derivatives to hedge foreign exchange rate risk (cash flow hedges), classified within asset item 23 and liability item 35 with an overall net positive impact of € 443 thousand as at 31 st December 2021. The net financial position as at 31 st December 2021 was debt of € 1,112.5 million compared with debt of € 1,046.9 million as at 31 st December 2020. During the year € 35.0 million was paid to Tolmar International Ltd. for the license agreement for Eligard®. Furthermore, treasury stock totalling € 59.3 million was purchased, net of sales due to the exercise of stock options, and dividends totalling € 216.6 million were paid. The change in the financial position gross of the impacts mentioned above, confirms the Company’s solid generation of cash flows which stood at approximately € 245.3 million. Expenditure on property, plant and equipment came to € 17.4 million and related to investments made at the Milan headquarters (€ 6.9 million), which included investments in the plant and in pharmaceutical research, as well as in the Campoverde plant (€ 10.5 million). R&D The arrival of new pharmaceuticals both through in‐house research programmes and through opportunities to carry out research in collaboration with research companies and institutions outside the Group again represented an important factor in 2021 for enriching the pipeline and ensuring future growth for the Group. At the same time huge efforts were made on the regulatory front aimed at obtaining important authorisations to sell Recordati pharmaceuticals on markets in new geographical areas. During the year, the Group's R&D activities were mainly concentrated in the field of rare diseases. New acquisitions and licences have enriched the product portfolio in the rare disease and specialty care areas. The product pipeline was enhanced by Eligard® in the Specialty & Primary Care field. Maintenance activities to support pharmaceuticals already on the market continued, as did pre‐trial work on new pharmaceuticals. PRODUCTS UNDER DEVELOPMENT Name Origin Indication Development stage REAGILA® Gedeon Richter Schizophrenia Post‐authorisation paediatric plan ELIGARD® Tolmar Hormone‐dependent prostate cancer Post‐authorisation activities for the development of a new device
6 The main R&D activities carried out in 2021 are summarised in the paragraphs below. Eligard® (leuprorelin acetato) Following the completion of the license and supply agreement with Tolmar International Ltd in January 2021, intense regulatory activity began for the transfer of marketing authorisations for Eligard® (leuprorelin acetate), a medicine indicated for the treatment of advanced‐stage hormone‐dependent prostate cancer and for the treatment of localised and locally advanced‐stage high‐risk hormone‐dependent prostate cancer in combination with radiotherapy. The active ingredient in Eligard®, leuprorelin acetate, is in the form of a powder that is solubilised with a solvent for subcutaneous injection. The product is available in three different dosages (for 1 month, 3 months and 6 months of treatment respectively) in a single kit containing two syringes. In 2021, numerous activities (implemented by Tolmar) were carried out to develop a new device consisting of two pre‐connected syringes, to facilitate the administration of the pharmaceutical by healthcare professionals as required by the EMA. A large prospective observational “real‐life” clinical trial also started in France to assess the efficacy and tolerability of the leuprorelin acetate formulation of 22.5 mg (for the 3‐month treatment) and 45 mg (for the 6‐month treatment) under conditions of normal daily medical practice. Seloken® / Seloken ZOK® (metoprolol) Logimax® (metoprolol + felodipine) A new manufacturer responsible for secondary packaging and batch release for vials was added in 2021. Furthermore, updated product information has been submitted in most countries to comply with the European guidelines on excipients for medicines containing metoprolol and metoprolol + felodipine. Reagila® (cariprazine) Studies are continuing aimed at demonstrating the efficacy and safety of cariprazine treatment in adolescents (13‐17 years), where patient recruitment has slowed due to the effects of the COVID‐19 pandemic. The timetable for the completion of the paediatric plan is currently under discussion with the European Paediatric Committee. The pharmaceutical is also now currently being registered in Tunisia and Turkey. LOMEXIN® (fenticonazole) Fenticonazole is an antimycotic product for topical use, developed by Recordati. Various projects have been carried out to support development of the product, in consideration of the growth in its sales and the potential arising from its transition to a medicine for which medical prescriptions are not required in a number of European countries and from the publication of scientific evidence to support the efficacy of the molecule fenticonazol for the treatment of vaginal infections with different aetiologies. A change in the supply regime from prescription to non‐prescription for vaginal capsules has been obtained in Slovakia, Estonia, Serbia, Portugal and the Czech Republic. Furthermore, a change in worksharing is underway to include Recordati Ilaç as an alternative production site for the finished product for European national cream registrations. The environmental risk assessment of fenticonazol required by the Danish regulatory authority was completed in 2021. The final report of this activity will be available in the first quarter of 2022. Activities involving pharmaceuticals for the treatment of rare diseases The Company carries out support activities for research carried out by other Group companies which is charged back to them on the basis of service agreements. In fact the Group is increasingly more committed to R&D for the development of treatments for rare diseases and it has many pharmaceuticals in its pipeline for treating these illnesses at different stages of development.
7 OTHER INFORMATION Company is subject to management and co‐ordination by Rossini Luxembourg S.àr.l, in accordance with Art. 2497 and following of the Italian Civil Code. Key figures from the financial statements for the year ended 31 st December 2020 approved by the company that exercises management and co‐ordination are reported in Attachment 6. No decisions were taken by the Board of Directors that were deemed “decisions influenced by management and co‐ordination activities” during the course of 2021. A merger deed was drawn up in April for the merger of Rossini Investimenti S.p.A. and FIMEI S.p.A. into Recordati S.p.A., which was subsequently filed with the Company Registrar which finalised the operation with effect for accounting and tax purposes from 1 st April 2021. The merger, which was approved by a Shareholders’ Meeting on 17 th December 2020, did not determine any change in the share capital of the merging company, nor did it result in the payment of any cash settlement. Furthermore, Recordati S.p.A.’s post merger balance sheet and income statement remained substantially unchanged compared with the position prior to the transaction and, more specifically, the merger did not alter Recordati’s net financial position and therefore its investment capacity, nor did it alter its capital allocation strategy or policy. On 16 th July 2021, the Board of Directors approved Recordati's new corporate governance structure with the appointment of Rob Koremans as the new Chief Executive Officer (CEO) from 1 st December 2021. Consequently, on 1 st December 2021 the Board of Directors appointed Andrea Recordati, previously Chief Executive Officer (CEO), as Chairman and Robert Koremans as Chief Executive Officer (CEO). The Company confirmed that Recordati will continue to consolidate its current strategy under the leadership of Rob Koremans, as set out in the recent three year plan, by combining organic growth in the current portfolio’s volume of business with the creation of value through business development transactions and M&A. As future Chairman, Andrea Recordati will continue to participate in the development of the Group's strategy, supporting the new CEO and the senior management team. In light of other important appointments conferred on him by the Italian Government and having completed the process of transition towards a new corporate governance structure, the Chairman Alfredo Altavilla tendered his resignation on 16 th July 2021, again with effect from 1 st December 2021. Treasury stock consisting of 2,135,498 shares was purchased during the year, for consideration of € 101.8 million and 1,750,500 shares were sold for consideration of € 42.5 million, following the exercise of options under the 2014‐2018 and 2018‐2022 stock option plans by Group employees. As at 31 st December 2021, the Company held 3,214,300 treasury shares in portfolio accounting for 1.54 % of the share capital, with a nominal value of € 0.125 each.

10 BUSINESS OUTLOOK At the date of preparing the financial statements no corporate events had occurred after the end of the year which might require modifications to be made to the value of assets and liabilities and the amounts in the income statement. In December 2021, the Company announced the signing of a share purchase agreement to acquire EUSA Pharma (UK) Ltd, a global specialty pharmaceutical company with headquarters in the United Kingdom, focused on rare and niche oncology diseases, for an enterprise value of €750 million. The acquisition of EUSA Pharma represents another step forward in delivering on the Group’s strategy. In the face of the Russia‐Ukraine crisis, the Recordati Group has given immediate priority to the safety of its people and is implementing all possible measures and initiatives to guarantee the supply of medicines to patients in territories involved. In spite of the resilience of the pharmaceutical sector, recent operating performance and the diversification of the Group, it is difficult to quantify at this stage the potential future impacts from this crisis, given the complex and constantly evolving situation. Except for the above no significant events occurred after the end of the year. The implementation of company policies, operations at the beginning of the current year, the potential of our products, the financial strength of the company and the managerial capacities of our personnel lead us to forecast a positive result again in 2022. Milan, 17 th March 2022. For the Board of Directors The Chairman Andrea Recordati

21 RECORDATI S.p.A. NOTES TO THE ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 st December 2021 1. GENERAL INFORMATION These financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 st December 2021, have been prepared by Recordati Industria Chimica e Farmaceutica S.p.A. (hereinafter the “Company” or “Recordati”), and they were approved by the Board of Directors on 17 th March 2022 which authorised their publication. Recordati Industria Chimica e Farmaceutica S.p.A. is a listed joint‐stock company registered and with service address in Italy. These financial statements are available at the registered address of the Company at 1, Via Matteo Civitali, Milan. The Company’s activities consist of the development, production and marketing of pharmaceutical products or of pharmaceutical chemicals. The Company operates in a broad and diverse context which includes general medicine, specialist medicine, self‐medication and rare diseases. In addition to being present in the cardiovascular field and in that of hypertension in particular, Recordati is also active in that of urology, with treatments for benign prostatic hyperplasia and mail functional disorders, and in psychiatry. The annual financial statements comprise the income statement, the balance sheet, the statement of other comprehensive income, the statement of changes in equity, the cash flow statement and these notes to the financial statements. The annual financial statements have been prepared in compliance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) issued or reviewed by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and endorsed by the European Union and also by regulations issued to implement Art. 9 of Legislative Decree No. 38/2005. Details of the accounting standards adopted by the Group are given in note 2 to the financial statements. The presentation adopted by the Company for the income statement in the separate company annual financial statements classifies revenues and expenses by nature. The distinction between the principle of current and non‐current has been adopted for the presentation of assets and liabilities in the balance sheet. The indirect method was used to prepare the cash flow statement. These financial statements are presented in euro (€) and all amounts in the notes to the statements are rounded to the nearest thousand euro unless otherwise stated. A merger deed was drawn up in April for the merger of Rossini Investimenti S.p.A. and FIMEI S.p.A. into Recordati S.p.A., which was subsequently filed with the Company Registrar which finalised the operation with effect for accounting and tax purposes from 1 st April 2021. The merger, which was approved by a Shareholders’ Meeting on 17 th December 2020, did not determine any change in the share capital of the merging company, nor did it result in the payment of any cash settlement. Furthermore, Recordati S.p.A.’s post merger balance sheet and income statement remained substantially unchanged compared with the position prior to the transaction and, more specifically, the merger did not alter Recordati’s net financial position and therefore its investment capacity, nor did it alter its capital allocation strategy or policy. The table below shows the impacts of the merger on the Company's balance sheet at 1 st April 2021.

Furthermore, the pharmaceutical chemicals business is considered an integral part of the specialty and primary care segment because from an organisational and strategic viewpoint it is involved principally in the production of the active ingredients required to produce pharmaceuticals. 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES In compliance with Legislative Decree No. 38 of 28 th February 2005 (which implements the options provided for by Art. 5 of Regulation (EC) No. 1606/2002 of the European Parliament and Council of 19 th July 2002 concerning the application of international accounting standards) the annual company financial statements have been prepared by applying the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) issued or revised by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and endorsed by the European Union and also the regulations issued in implementation of Art. 9 of Legislative Decree No. 38/2005. These annual financial statements have been prepared using the same accounting standards as those applied in the last annual financial statements. The Company has not adopted any new standard, interpretation or amendment in advance that has been issued but is not yet in force. The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, because the Directors have found no cash flow, operational or other indicators to suggest that the company might face difficulties in its ability to meet its obligations in the foreseeable future and in the next twelve months in particular. More specifically, account has been taken of the impacts, even potential, of the Covid‐19 pandemic in making estimates and assumptions when preparing the financial statements. In order to address this emergency, the Company had already taken steps in 2021 to implement all possible measures and initiatives to guarantee both the supply of pharmaceuticals to its patients and the health of its employees. The results achieved demonstrate the effectiveness of the initiatives undertaken. Again in 2022, notwithstanding the continuation of the pandemic emergency, the Company considers that it is able to implement the necessary actions in order to ensure it is a going concern and able to achieve positive results.
23 Adoption of new standards Various amendments and interpretations are applicable for the first time in 2021, but have had no impact on the financial statements of the Company for the year ended 31 st December 2021 Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39, IFRS 7, IFRS 4 and IFRS 16: Interest Rate Benchmark Reform ‐ Phase 2 The amendments include the temporary easing of the requirements in relation to their impacts on balance sheets when the interest rate offered on the interbank market (IBOR) is replaced by an alternative rate that is essentially risk free (the Risk Free Rate ‐ RFR). The amendments include the following practical expedients: a practical expedient that allows contractual changes, or changes in cash flows that are directly required by the reform to be treated as changes in a variable interest rate, equivalent to a change in an interest rate in the market; to allow changes required by the IBOR reform to be made as part of a hedging designation and hedging documentation with no discontinuation of the hedging relationship; the provision of temporary relief to entities with their separate identification requirements when an RFR is designated as a hedge against a component of risk. These amendments have had no impact on the annual financial statements of the Company, nor is any future impact expected. Amendment to IFRS 16 Covid‐19 Related Rent Concessions On 28 th May 2020 the IASB published an amendment to the standard IFRS 16. The amendment allows a lessee not to apply the requirements of IFRS 16 on the accounting effects of modifications for a reduction in lease payments granted as a concession by lessors which are a direct consequence of the Covid‐19 pandemic. The amendment introduces a practical expedient by which a lessee may elect not to assess whether a rent concession represents contract modifications. A lessee that elects to use this expedient shall account for these reductions as if they were not contract modifications within the scope of IFRS 16. The amendments were to be applicable until 30 th June 2021, but as the impact of the COVID‐19 pandemic is continuing, on 31 st March 2021 the IASB extended the period of application of this practical expedient until 30 th June 2022. The amendments shall apply to financial years beginning on or after 1 st April 2021. These amendments have had no impact on the financial statements of the Company. Use of estimates The preparation of financial statements requires estimates and assumptions to be made by directors based on the best possible assessments that have an impact on the values of revenue, expenses, assets and liabilities in the balance sheet and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as at the balance sheet date. If in the future those estimates and assumptions should differ from the actual circumstances, they shall be modified appropriately in accordance with the changes in the circumstances. A brief description is given below of those items in the financial statements which more than others require greater discretion on the part of directors in making estimates and for which a change in the conditions underlying the assumptions used could have a significant impact on financial data. ‐ Investments in subsidiaries: in compliance with the accounting standards applied, investments in subsidiaries are subject to impairment testing to ascertain whether a reduction in value has occurred, which is recognised with a write‐down, when indicators exist which predict difficulty in realising the relative recoverable amount. Testing whether the aforementioned indicators exist requires the directors
24 to make subjective assessments based on information available within the Company and on the market and on historical experience. Furthermore, if it is found that potential impairment may have occurred, the Company proceeds to measure it by using the measurement techniques considered most appropriate. Accurate identification of indicators of potential impairment and estimates to calculate it depend on factors which may change over time thereby influencing assessments and estimates made by the directors. ‐ Provisions: in some circumstances the decision as to whether or not a present obligation (legal or constructive) exists is not easy to make. Management assesses these circumstances on a case‐by‐case basis in combination with an estimate of the funds required to meet the obligation. When Management considers that it is only possible that a liability will arise, then the risks are reported in a special section of the report on commitments and risks without any recognition of a provision. ‐ Deferred tax assets: recognition must be supported by a plan to recover these assets based on hypotheses and assumptions that Management considers reasonable. ‐ Inventories: stock that may be obsolete or that has a slow turnover is periodically tested for impairment and is written down where the net realisable value is less than the carrying amount. Write‐downs are based on assumptions and estimates resulting from experience and historical results. ‐ Financial instruments: trade receivables are adjusted by the relative allowances for bad debts to take account of their actual recoverable amount. Calculation of the amount of write‐downs requires Management to make subjective assessments with account therefore taken of past events, current conditions and forecasts of future economic conditions. Generally methods for measuring the fair value of financial instruments for accounting or disclosure purposes are summarised below with reference made to the main categories of financial instruments to which they apply: ‐ derivative instruments: appropriate pricing models are used based on market values for interest rates; ‐ loans and borrowings and unlisted financial assets: the discounted cash flow method (based on the present value of expected cash flows in consideration of current interest rates and credit ratings) is used for financial assets with maturities of greater than one year for measurement of the fair value on first‐time recognition. Subsequent recognition is carried out using the amortised cost method; ‐ listed financial instruments: the market price as at the reporting date is used. IFRS 13 requires the fair value of financial instruments to be measured by classifying them on the basis of a hierarchy of levels laid down by the standard itself, which reflects the degree of observability of the market inputs used in the calculation of the fair value. The following levels are identified: o Level 1: unadjusted quotations recorded on active markets for assets or liabilities subject to measurement; o Level 2: inputs that are not quoted prices as per level 1, but which are observable on the market, either directly (as in the case of prices) or indirectly (i.e. because they are derived from prices); o Level 3: inputs that are not based on observable market data. Balance sheet Property, plant and equipment – Property, plant and equipment is recognised at historic cost net of the relative accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment. Subsequent costs are only capitalised when it is probable that the future economic rewards will flow to the Company. The costs for ordinary maintenance and repairs are recognised through profit or loss at the time at which they are incurred. The carrying amount of property, plant and equipment is subject to impairment testing to measure any loss in value when events or situations occur which indicate that the carrying amount of the assets can no longer be recovered (see paragraph on impairment for details).
25 Depreciation is calculated on a straight‐line basis using rates which are held to be representative of the estimated useful life of the assets: Industrial buildings 2.5% ‐ 5.5% Plant & machinery 10% ‐ 17.5% Other equipment 12% ‐ 40% The depreciation of an asset begins when it is installed and is ready for use or, in the case of self‐constructed assets, when the assets have been completed and are ready for use. The gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of an asset is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognised in income. Leases – The Company has applied IFRS 16 using the modified retrospective approach. Accounting model for the lessee ‐ At the start of a contract or when changes are made to a contract that contains a lease component, the Company allocates the consideration for the contract to each lease and non‐lease component on the basis of the relative prices. At the date of inception of a lease contract, the Company recognises a right‐of‐use asset and a lease liability. The right‐of‐use asset is initially measured at cost inclusive of the amount of the initial lease liability, adjusted for payments due for leasing carried out at the date of or before the date of inception, plus the direct costs incurred and an estimate of the costs that the lessee will have to bear for disassembly and removal of the underlying assets and to restore the underlying assets or the site in which it is located, net of lease incentives received. The right‐of‐use asset is subsequently depreciated on a straight‐line basis from the date of inception until the end of the lease contract unless the lease transfers ownership of the underlying asset to the Company at the end of the lease contract or, considering the cost of the right‐of‐use asset, it is expected that the Company will exercise its purchase option. In this case, the right‐of‐use asset will be depreciated over the useful life of the underlying asset, calculated on the same basis as that used for property, plant equipment. Furthermore, standard practice is followed to reduce the value of the right‐of‐use asset for impairment and it is adjusted to reflect any changes resulting from subsequent measurements of the lease liability. The Company measures lease liabilities at the present value of the payments due for the lease not paid at the date of inception, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease. If it is not possible to calculate that rate easily, the Company uses the incremental borrowing rate. Generally, the Company uses the incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate. The Company’s incremental borrowing rate is calculated on the basis of interest rates obtained from various external sources of financing, which are then adjusted to reflect the terms and conditions of the lease and the type of asset leased. Payments due for the lease included in the measurement of the lease liability are comprised of: fixed payments (including in‐substance fixed payments); variable lease payments due that depend on an index or a rate, initially measured using an index or rate as at the commencement date; amounts expected to be payable by the lessee under residual value guarantees; and the exercise price of a purchase option if the Company is reasonably certain to exercise that option, the payments due for a lease period where the Company has the option to extend it if the Company is reasonably certain to exercise that option and payments of penalties for terminating the lease in advance, unless the Company is reasonably certain that it will not terminate the lease in advance. Lease liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate criteria and are measured again: if there is a change in the future payments due for the lease resulting from a change in an index or rate; if there is a change in the amount that the Company expects will be due under residual value guarantees; or if the Company changes its assessment of whether or not it will exercise a purchase, extension or termination option; or if there is a change in the in‐substance fixed payments due.
26 When a lease liability is remeasured, the lessee makes a corresponding change to the relative right‐of‐use asset. If the carrying amount of a right‐of‐use asset is reduced to zero, the lessee recognises that change in net income for the year. The Company recognises right‐of‐use assets which do not satisfy the requirement to be defined as investment property within the item “Property, plant and equipment” in the balance sheet and lease liabilities within the item “Loans”. Short‐term leases and low‐value leases – The Company has decided not to recognise right‐of‐use assets and lease liabilities for assets with low values and for short‐term leases, inclusive of IT equipment. The Company recognises the relative payments due for these leases as an expense on a straight‐line basis over the lease term. Intangible assets ‐ An intangible asset is recognised only if it can be identified, if it is probable that it will generate future economic rewards and its cost can be measured reliably. Intangible assets are recognised at purchase cost, net of amortisation calculated on a straight‐line basis and on the basis of their estimated useful life which, however, cannot exceed 20 years. Patents, licences and know‐how are amortised from the year of the first sale of the relative products. Amortisation of distribution and licence rights is generally calculated over the duration of the contract using the following percentages held to be representative of the estimated useful life of the assets: patents and sales authorisations 5% ‐ 33%. distribution licences, trademarks and similar rights 5% ‐ 25% Impairment ‐ At each balance sheet date, or more frequently if necessary, the Company reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss. Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash‐ generating unit to which the asset belongs. The recoverable amount is the greater of net selling price and value in use. In measuring value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a discount rate net of tax that reflects current market assessments of the time value of the money and the risks specific to the asset. If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash‐generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash‐generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognised as an expense immediately. Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash‐generating unit) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised as income immediately. Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash‐generating unit) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised as income immediately. Investments in subsidiaries – Investments in subsidiaries, which are those entities over which the Company holds control, are recognised at cost of purchase adjusted for impairment. Positive differences arising at the time of purchase between the purchase cost and the quota of the equity at present values held in the subsidiary attributable to the Company are therefore included in the carrying amount of the investment. In compliance with the accounting standards applied, in the presence of specific impairment indicators the value of investments in subsidiaries, measured on the basis of the cost criterion, is subject to impairment
27 testing. More specifically, the value of investments is tested for impairment if the stated value of the investment in the separate financial statements is greater than the carrying amount of the net assets of the investment, with account also taken of the effects of any implicit gains recognised and tested in the consolidated financial statements. For the purposes of impairment testing, the carrying amount of investments is compared with the recoverable amount, defined as the higher of the value in use and the fair value less costs to sell. If the recoverable amount of an investment is less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset shall be reduced to its recoverable amount. The reduction constitutes impairment and is recognised through profit and loss. For the purposes of the impairment testing, the fair value is measured on the basis of the market value of the investment, regardless of the percentage of ownership. For investments in unlisted companies, the fair value is measured on the basis of valuation techniques, including the market‐multiples approach. The value in use on the other hand is measured by applying the “discounted cash flow ‐ equity side” criterion, which consists of calculating the present value of future cash flows which it is estimated will be generated by the subsidiary, inclusive of cash flows from operating activities and the consideration resulting from the final sale of the investment, net of the financial position as at the measurement date. When calculating estimated future cash flows, the Company takes due consideration of risks related to climate change issues, inclusive of the applicable regulations. It assesses whether they could have a significant impact on the estimate of the recoverable amount and where necessary this includes the impacts on cash flow forecasts for the estimate of value in use. If the necessary conditions for a previous write‐down are reversed, the carrying amount of the investment is also reversed with recognition through profit and loss, up to the limits of the original cost. According to IFRS 2, stock option plans for the employees of subsidiaries constitute an increase in the value of the relative investments. That increase in value consists of the fair value of the options on the grant date and it is recognised as an increase in the investments at constant rates over the period between the grant and the vesting date, with the balancing entry recognised directly in equity. Financial instruments Recognition and measurement Trade receivables and debt securities in issue are recognised at the time they are originated. All other financial assets and liabilities are recognised initially on the date they are traded and that is when the Company becomes a party to the contract underlying the financial instrument. The following are exceptions to this: trade receivables that do not contain a significant financial component, financial assets and liabilities that are initially recognised at more or less fair value or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum payments due for leases. On initial recognition, trade receivables which do not have a significant financial component are recognised at the transaction price. Classification and subsequent measurement Financial assets On initial recognition, a financial asset is classified on the basis of its measurement: amortised cost; fair value recognised through the comprehensive income (FVOCI) – debt security; (FVOCI) – equity; or at fair value recognised through profit or loss (FVTPL). Financial assets are not reclassified after their initial recognition unless the Company modifies its business model for the management of financial assets. In this case all the financial assets concerned are reclassified on the first day of the financial year after the business model is changed. A financial asset must be measured at amortised cost if both the following conditions are met and it is not designated as at FVTPL: it is held as part of a business model the objective of which is to hold it with the objective of collecting the relative contractual cash flows; and its contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding to be repaid.
28 A financial asset must be measured at FVOCI if both the following conditions are met and it is not designated as at FVTPL: it is held as part of a business model the objective of which is achieved both by the collection of the contractual cash flows and by the sale of the financial assets; and its contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding to be repaid. On the initial recognition of a security that is not held for trading, the Company may make an irrevocable choice to recognise subsequent changes in fair value through other comprehensive income. The choice is made for each asset. All financial assets not classified as recognised at amortised cost or at FVOCI are recognised, as stated previously, at FVTPL. They include all derivatives. On initial recognition, the Company may irrevocably designate a financial asset as measured at fair value through profit or loss if by doing so it eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting mismatch which would otherwise result from the measurement of the financial asset at amortised cost or at FVOCI. Financial assets: subsequent measurement and profits and losses Financial assets measured at FVTPL These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Net profits and losses, inclusive of dividends or interest received, are recognised through profit or loss. Financial assets at amortised cost These assets are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The amortised cost is reduced by impairment losses. Interest income, gains and losses on foreign exchange rates and impairment are recognised through profit and loss as are any profits or losses resulting from derecognition. Debt securities measured at FVOCI These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Interest income measured using the effective interest rate method, gains and losses on foreign exchange rates and impairment are recognised through profit or loss. Other net profits and losses are recognised through comprehensive income. On derecognition accumulated gains or losses recognised through other comprehensive income are reclassified as recognised through profit or loss. Equities measured at FVOCI These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Dividends are recognised through profit or loss unless they clearly represent a recovery in the value of the investment. Other net profits and losses are recognised through other comprehensive income and are never reclassified as recognised through profit or loss. Financial liabilities: classification, subsequent measurement and profits and losses Financial liabilities are classified as recognised at amortised cost or at FVTPL. A financial liability is classified as recognised at FVTPL when it is held for trading, is a derivative or is designated as such on initial recognition. Financial liabilities recognised at FVTPL are measured at fair value and any changes in their value, inclusive of interest expense, are recognised through profit or loss. Other financial liabilities are subsequently recognised at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Interest expense and gains and losses on foreign exchange rates are recognised through profit or loss, as are any profits or losses resulting from derecognition. Derecognition Financial assets Financial assets are derecognised when the contractual rights to the cash flows from them expire, when the contractual right to receive the cash flows as part of a transaction in which all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred or when the Company neither transfers nor maintains
29 substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset and does not retain control of the financial asset. The company is involved in transactions that involve the transfer of assets recognised in its accounts, but retains all or substantially all the risks and rewards arising from the transferred asset. In these cases the assets transferred are not derecognised. Financial liabilities The Company derecognises a financial liability when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged or cancelled or expires. The Company also derecognises a financial liability when there is a change in the terms of the contract and the cash flows of the modified liability are substantially different. In this case a new financial liability is recognised at fair value on the basis of the modified terms of the contract. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability extinguished and the consideration paid (inclusive of assets that do not consist of cash transferred or liabilities taken on) is recognised through profit or loss. Offsetting Financial assets and liabilities can be offset and the amount resulting from that offset is recognised if, and only if, at the time the Company has the legal right to offset the amounts and intends either to settle the balance on a net basis or realise the asset and settle the liability at the same time. Derivatives and hedges (hedge accounting) The Company uses derivatives to hedge its positions that involve foreign exchange and interest‐rate risks. Derivatives are initially measured at fair value. After initial recognition, derivatives are measured at fair value and the relative changes are usually recognised through profit or loss. The Company designates some derivatives as hedging instruments to hedge against changes in cash flows relating to highly probable transactions resulting from fluctuations in foreign exchange and interest rates and some derivatives and non‐derivative financial liabilities as instruments to hedge against foreign exchange risk on a net investment in a foreign operation. At the start of the designated hedging relationship the Company documents its risk management objectives, the hedging strategy, the economic relationship, the hedging instrument and whether changes in the cash flows of the item hedged and of the hedging instrument are offset against each other. Cash flow hedges When a derivative is designated as an instrument to hedge against changes in cash flows, the effective portion of the changes in the fair value of the hedging derivative is recognised through other comprehensive income and stated in the cash flow hedge reserve. The effective portion of the changes in fair value of a hedging derivative that is recognised through other comprehensive income is limited to the cumulative change in fair value of the instrument hedged, at present value, since the inception of the hedge. The ineffective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is recognised immediately through profit or loss. When the hedge ceases to meet the qualifying criteria or the hedging instrument is sold, expires or is exercised then hedge accounting is discontinued prospectively. When cash flow hedge accounting ceases, the amount that has accumulated in the cash flow hedge reserve remains in equity until, for a hedge that involves recognition of a non‐financial asset or liability, it is included in the cost of the non‐financial asset or liability at the time of initial recognition or, for cash flow hedges, it is recognised through profit or loss in the financial year or in the subsequent financial years in which the expected cash flows hedged have an effect on profit or loss. If future hedged cash flows are no longer envisaged, the amount must be immediately reclassified from the cash flow hedge reserve and from reserve for hedging costs to profit or loss.
30 Hedging for net investments When a derivative or a non‐derivative financial liability is designated as a hedging instrument for a net investment in a foreign operation, for derivatives, the effective portion of the change in the fair value of the derivative or, for a non‐derivative instrument, the gains or losses on exchange rates, are recognised through other comprehensive income and are stated in the currency translation reserve in equity. The ineffective portion is recognised immediately through profit or loss. The amount recognised through other comprehensive income is reclassified to profit or loss on the disposal of the following operation. Inventories ‐ Inventories are measured at the lower of cost or market value, where the market value of raw materials and subsidiaries is their replacement cost while that related to finished goods and work‐in‐process is their net realisable value. Inventories of raw materials and supplies are measured at their average weighted purchase cost including costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their location and condition at year‐end. Inventories of work‐in‐process and finished goods are measured at their average weighted manufacturing cost which includes the cost of raw materials, consumables, direct labour and indirect costs of production, exclusive of general expenses. Inventories are written down if the net realisable value is lower than cost as described above or in the case of obsolescence resulting from slow moving stocks. Cash and cash equivalents ‐ These consist of cash at banks on sight and readily marketable short‐term investments and they are measured at market value. Equity ‐ Equity instruments issued by the Company are recognised at the amount of the proceeds received. All transactions of a capital nature between the Company and parties that exercise their rights and duties in their capacity as shareholders are recognised within that item. Dividends declared by the Company are recognised as a liability at the time of approval of the resolution to distribute them. The cost and selling prices of treasury shares are recognised directly in equity and therefore gains and losses on sales are not recognised through profit or loss. Provisions for employee benefits ‐ Employee benefits presented in the balance sheet are the result of valuations carried out as prescribed by IAS 19. The liabilities recognised in the balance sheet for post‐ employment benefit schemes represent the present value of the defined benefit obligation, as adjusted for unrecognised actuarial gains and losses and unrecognised past service cost. More specifically, the “Projected Unit Credit Method” is used. All actuarial gains and losses are recognised directly through other comprehensive income and stated in equity. Until 31 st December 2006 the post‐employment benefit provisions of Italian companies were considered defined benefit plans. The regulations governing those indemnities were amended by Law 296 of 27 th December 2006 (2007 Finance Act) and subsequent amendments made in early 2007. In view of those changes and more specifically for companies with at least 50 employees, those benefits are now to be treated as defined benefit plans only for the amounts that accrued prior to 1 st January 2007 (and not yet paid at the balance sheet date), while subsequent to that date they are treated in the same way as a defined contribution plan. Provisions ‐ Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present obligation as a result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate of the amount can be made. Foreign currencies ‐ Transactions in currencies other than the euro are translated into the functional currency at the rates of exchange prevailing on the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in those currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing on the balance sheet date. Profits and losses arising on exchange are included in net profit or loss for the period. Non‐monetary assets and
31 liabilities recorded at the rates of exchange prevailing on the dates of the transactions are not retranslated on the balance sheet date. Income statement The expenses are stated on an aggregate basis in the income statement “by nature”. The choice of this method of presentation is based on the nature of the Company as both a holding and an operating company. The objective is to both optimise and simplify general accounting practices and all the relative compliance activity required by Italian tax regulations. Revenue ‐ Revenue is measured with account taken of the consideration specified in the contract with the customer. It is recognised when control over the goods or services is transferred and it is stated net of returns, discounts and rebates. Information on the nature and timing of the satisfaction of performance obligations in contracts with customers and the relative policies for recognition of revenues is given below. Revenue is mainly comprised of the sales of products and income from license agreements. Sales of products are shown by the net amount of the invoice, less the estimated amounts for discounts and returns, and they are recognised when the control of the goods has been transferred to third parties. This usually occurs when ownership passes to the customer, on shipment or on receipt of the goods, depending on the specific conditions of the sale. Revenue arising from licensing agreements includes income generated by agreements to collaborate on products for which the Company has granted determined rights under licence but in which it retains a significant economic interests, through, for example, the ordinary sale of finished products. The revenue may take the form of up‐front payments, profit‐sharing and royalties. When control of the right to use intangible assets is transferred at the beginning of an agreement, the revenue is recognised in one single amount. If the substance of an agreement gives the right of access to intangible assets, the revenues are recognised over time, usually on a straight‐line basis for the entire term of the contract. If the Company provides services, such as for example the supply of products, the revenue is recognised for the entire period of the service provision. Revenue linked to the achievement of a sales target by a licensee is recognised in one single amount when the target is reached. Revenue for royalties is recognised in one single amount when the right to receive them vests. Research and development expenses ‐ R&D expenses are charged to the income statement in the year in which they are incurred in accordance with IAS 38, except in cases where they are capitalised in accordance with that same standard. More specifically, IAS 38 requires development costs to be capitalised if the technical and commercial feasibility for the sale of the products subject to development has been determined with a high probability of success and if future economic rewards are probable. Those expenses include amounts due under collaboration agreements with third parties. Government grants ‐ Government grants towards investment in plant are recognised as income over the periods necessary to match them with the related costs and are recognised in the balance sheet as deferred income. Government grants, including those for research, are recognised through profit and loss on an accrual basis within the item “other revenue”. Share based payment transactions – According to IFRS 2, stock option plans for employees constitute a part of the remuneration of the beneficiaries, the cost of which is given by the fair value of the options on the grant date. It is recognized through profit or loss at constant rates over the period between the grant and the vesting date, with the balancing entry recognised directly in equity. Financial income and expense – These include interest income and expense, foreign exchange gains and
32 losses, both realised and unrealised, and differences arising from the valuation of securities. Interest income and expense is recognised through profit and loss for the period to which it relates using the effective interest rate method. Taxation ‐ Taxation on income constitutes the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax. The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year and tax rates in force at the date of the balance sheet are applied. Deferred tax is the tax expected to be payable or recoverable on temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax basis used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences and deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be used. Such assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from goodwill. Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the liability is settled or the asset realised. Deferred tax is recognised directly through profit or loss, except when it relates to items recognised directly in equity, in which case the deferred tax is also recognised in equity. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the Company intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis. Earnings per share ‐ Earnings per share is the net income for the period attributable to ordinary shareholders divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by adjusting the average weighted number of outstanding shares for the effects of all the potential dilutive ordinary shares.
33 3. NET REVENUE In 2021 This came to € 464,719 thousand (€ 449,376 thousand in 2020) and was composed as follows: € (thousands) 2021 2020 Changes 2021/2020 Net sales 445,743 425,786 19,957 Royalties and up‐front payments 2,712 2,391 321 Revenue from services 16,264 21,199 (4,935) Total revenue 464,719 449,376 15,343 Net sales revenue is as follows: € (thousands) 2021 Italy Abroad 2020 Italy Abroad Pharmaceuticals 176,118 191,655 185,266 191,202 Pharmaceutical chemicals 4,621 43,455 4,014 44,613 Other 730 29,164 284 407 Total net sales 181,469 264,274 189,564 236,222 Revenue from pharmaceuticals in Italy was € 176,118 thousand, down € 9,148 thousand on the previous year. As concerns the performance of prescription products in Italy the reduction in sales is partially due to distortions recorded on the market in the first half of 2020 at the beginning of the pandemic as a consequence of large demand for medicines by the Company’s customers, as well as to the subsequent reduction in stocks in the distribution channel. Marketing of Isocef® was suspended at the beginning of 2021, due to the temporary unavailability of the product on the market, with a negative impact of € 4.0 million compared with the previous year. We also report the reduction of € 4.4 million in sales of Urorec® due to the loss of exclusivity. Good performance was recorded by the self‐medication products Alovex®, Proctolyn®, Eumill® and Transact‐Lat®. International sales in the pharmaceutical sector were largely unchanged compared with the previous year, thanks in particular to sales of Eligard®, a drug indicated for the treatment of prostate cancer, now billed directly to customers following the transfer of marketing authorisations in various countries. Sales of pharmaceutical chemicals were down 0.9% compared with the previous year, while a slight contraction in sales abroad was largely offset by greater sales in Italy. The item “Other revenues” for the year relates mainly to profit on the sales of Eligard® made by Astellas Pharma Europe Ltd. as the previous licensee during the transition period pending the transfer of regulatory authorisations. These were paid back to the Company as a result of the contract with Tolmar International Ltd finalised in January 2021. Revenue from net sales by geographical area were as follows: € (thousands) 2021 2020 Change 2021/2020 Europe 437,354 418,843 18,511 of which Italy (*) 181,469 189,564 (8,095) Australasia 14,517 17,617 (3,100) America 11,159 11,404 (245) Africa 1,689 1,512 177 Total 464,719 449,376 15,343 (*) The 2020 data was reclassified to give a consistent comparison.

Revenues to Recordati Ireland Ltd. included € 3,584 thousand (€ 11,467 thousand in 2020) for adjustments to intercompany transfer prices made for compliance with the arm’s length principle and payments received for activities carried out by the Company for support services in the identification, stipulation and negotiation of license‐in contracts with Companies outside group and proprietary product contracts by granting the use of its know‐how to Recordati Ireland Ltd, on the basis of the same criteria defined with the revenue agency for previous years and incorporated in the intragroup contracts signed between Recordati SpA and Recordati Ireland Ltd. The decrease compared with the previous year is mainly due to the negative impact on sales of Lercanidipine in Turkey resulting from the introduction of new measures in favour of generic products and from the change in the market selling price of the product, the high procurement costs for Silosodine and a negative exchange rate effect. Sales to Recordati Rare Diseases Inc. were attributable in particular to R&D work carried out on behalf of those subsidiaries, in addition to the effects coming from the Management service Agreement. Sales to Italchimici S.p.A. related above all to the continuation of co‐promotion carried out on behalf of the subsidiary as well as to a service contract. Sales to Recordati AG related in particular to R&D work carried out on behalf of that subsidiary on the products Signifor® and Isturisa®. Services and royalties to third parties, which amounted to € 351 thousand, included € 350 thousand in relation to the quota for the year of up‐front payments resulting from licence and distribution contracts received in prior years. 4. OTHER INCOME Other income amounted to € 4,401 thousand in 2021, compared with € 2,678 thousand in 2020. It included charges to employees for the use of hired cars, other indemnities, non‐recurring income, prior year income and gains on the sale of non‐current assets.

ACE (Allowance for Corporate Equity) is tax relief for companies governed by Art. 1 of Italian Decree Law no. 201/2011 and by Italian Ministerial Decree 3/8/2017, and consists of the taxation of part of the taxable income proportional to the increases in equity. The merger also extinguished group taxation between Recordati S.p.A. and FIMEI S.p.A., and established that tax consolidation will continue between Recordati S.p.A. (as the consolidating company) and Italchimici S.p.A. In 2019 the Company concluded a preliminary agreement with the tax authorities to establish the methods and criteria for the calculation of the economic contribution in the event of the direct use of intangible assets subject to tax relief with effect for the tax years 2015 to 2019. On the other hand, for the tax year 2020 Recordati S.p.A. opted for the “self‐assessment” regime for the same assets as those in the previous five‐year period (except for expired patents and brands which in the meantime had been excluded from the objective scope of the tax relief). It applied for the option in its tax return for the year until the expiry of the five year period of validity of the option (2020‐2024). Subsequently, on 21 st October 2021 the Company filed an application to use the preliminary agreement procedure for the use of intangible assets for the remaining period 2021‐2024, indicating the same methods and criteria for calculating the economic contribution used in previous periods. Operating therefore on the same basis as in previous years the Company calculated the tax benefit for the year 2021, recognised as a reduction in taxes of € 6,273 thousand. The provision for deferred tax (assets)/liabilities of € 1,701 thousand is composed as follows: 2021 2020 Temporary differences Tax Effect Temporary differences Tax Effect DEFERRED TAX ASSETS ‐ Provisions (1,432) (344) (1,276) (306) ‐ Costs relating to future years (4,508) (1,082) (826) (199) ‐ Write‐down of inventories (1,147) (275) 0 0 TOTAL (7,087) (1,701) (2,102) (505) DEFERRED TAX ASSETS/LIABILITIES, NET (1,701) (505)
44 The reconciliation between the current tax rate for income tax levied on the Company and the actual tax rate incurred is as follows: 2021 % 2020 % Tax rate applicable for IRES (corporate income tax) 24 24 Dividends from subsidiaries (12.2) (11.2) Write down of equity investment 0 0.2 Economic Growth legislation (ACE – allowance for corporate equity) (6.2) 0 Sundry items (0.1) (0.2) Effective tax rate for IRES 5.5 12.8 IRAP (regional tax on production) 2.7 2.9 “Patent box” tax relief (2.7) (3.0) Prior year taxes (0.3) 0.2 Tax rate on pretax net income 5.2 12.9 IRAP (regional tax on production) as a percentage of pre‐tax profit was 2.7% because the tax is calculated on a different tax basis which includes interest and some extraordinary items.

48 16. INVESTMENTS Investments as at 31 st December 2021 amounted to € 1,086,514 thousand, down by € 5,757 thousand on 2020. Investments in subsidiaries as at 31 st December 2021 amounted to € 1,053,304 thousand and the remaining € 33,210 thousand relate to other investments and shares held by the Company as reported in the table in Attachment 1. The percentage of ownership and the number of shares or quotas possessed are reported in Attachment 2. A comparison between the carrying amount of investments in subsidiaries and their valuation using the equity method is reported in Attachment 3. In compliance with the accounting standards applied, in the presence of specific impairment indicators the value of investments in subsidiaries, measured on the basis of the cost criterion, is subject to impairment testing. More specifically, the value of investments is tested for impairment if the stated value of the investment in the separate financial statements is greater than the carrying amount of the net assets of the investment, with account also taken of the effects of any implicit gains recognised and tested in the consolidated financial statements. For the purposes of impairment testing, the carrying amount of investments is compared with the recoverable amount, defined as the higher of the value in use and the fair value less costs to sell. The table below reports the discount rates used for carrying out impairment tests for each of the investments subject to testing: Investment Discount rate Accent LLC 9.55% Forecasts of operational cash flows for the specific period (2022‐2024) used for the calculation were taken from the 2022 budget approved by the Board of Directors of the Company on 16 th December 2021 and, for the years 2023 and 2024, from specific forecasts for the investments subject to impairment tests, approved by the Board of Directors on 17 th March 2022. The effects of the COVID‐ 19 pandemic were duly considered in the cash flow forecasts. The remaining investments in subsidiaries, with the movements in them reported in Attachment 1, recorded an increase in value of € 3,550 thousand. According to IFRS 2, stock option plans for the employees of subsidiaries constitute an increase in the value of the relative investments. That increase in value consists of the fair value of the options on the grant date and it is recognised as an increase in the investments at constant rates over the period between the grant and the vesting date, with the balancing entry recognised directly in equity. The cost of the stock options granted to employees of foreign companies was recognised as an increase in the value of the relative investments amounting to € 2,950 thousand. The value of the investments in other undertakings relates to that in the English Company PureTech Health plc, specialised in start‐up companies dedicated to innovative therapies, medical devices and new research technologies. The shares of this company have been admitted for listing on the London stock market since 19 th June 2015 and the total fair value as at 31 st December 2021 of the 9,554,140 shares held was € 33,202 thousand. The value of the investment was consequently decreased by € 9,308 thousand, compared with that recognised as at 31 st December 2020 with the balancing entry, net of tax, recognised in other comprehensive income (in equity) in line with the accounting treatment in previous years. A detailed summary of both directly and indirectly controlled subsidiaries is given in Attachment 4 with the sales revenue and net income for each company.

Therefore tax assets for current taxation from the tax consolidation consists of the Company’s taxes calculated on the basis of estimated taxable income which were found to be lower than the amounts paid on account and taxes calculated by the subsidiary Italchimici S.p.A.. Receivables from subsidiaries amounted to € 378 thousand (€ 419 thousand in 2020) and related to VAT transferred under Group procedures from the company Innova Pharma S.p.A.. Advances to employees and agents as at 31 st December 2021 and 2020 came to € 1,385 thousand and € 1,330 thousand respectively.

FAIR VALUE OF HEDGING DERIVATIVES (current assets) These amounted to € 11,149 thousand (€ 7,004 thousand as at 31 st December 2020). The market value (fair value) as at 31 st December June 2021 of the currency swaps entered into by the Company to hedge a bond issued for $ 75 million on 30 th September 2014 totalled € 11,074 thousand. That value represents the potential benefit resulting from a lower value of the future cash flows in United States dollars in terms of principal and interest, due to an appreciation of the foreign currency with respect to the time of finalising the loan and acquiring the hedge instruments. More specifically, the fair value of the derivative to hedge the $ 50 million tranche of the loan granted by Mediobanca was positive by € 7,376 thousand, while that of the instrument to hedge the $ 25 million tranche of the loan granted by Unicredit was positive by € 3,698 thousand. The fair value of these hedging derivatives is measured at level 2 of the hierarchy set out in financial reporting standard IFRS 13 (see note 2). The fair value is equal to the present value of the estimated future cash flows. The estimated future cash flows at a floating interest rate are based on listed interest‐rate swaps, futures prices and interbank rates. The estimated cash flows are discounted using a yield curve obtained from similar sources to those that reflect the reference interbank rate applied by market participants for the measurement of interest‐rate swaps. 24.

TAX LIABILITIES Tax liabilities amounted to € 2,892 thousand as at 31 st December 2021 (€ 2,845 thousand as at 31 st December 2020). € (thousands) 31.12.2021 31.12.2020 Changes 2021/2020 VAT liabilities 422 260 162 Liabilities for employee withholding taxes 2,195 2,320 (125) Liabilities for self‐employed and associate workers withholding taxes 275 265 10 Total tax liabilities 2,892 2,845 47 Amounts paid on account during the year were greater than the tax provisions set aside on the basis of estimates of taxable income which generated assets rather than liabilities for the relative tax items.
68 33. OTHER CURRENT LIABILITIES Other current liabilities, amounting to € 573 thousand (€ 923 thousand as at 31 st December 2020), include upfront payments resulting from licence and distribution agreements received in prior years but relating to the following years. 34. PROVISIONS These consist of the tax provision, the provision for agent customer indemnities and provisions for other risks as shown in the table below. € (thousands) 31.12.2021 31.12.2020 Changes 2021/2020 For taxes 176 0 176 For agent customer indemnities 1,648 1,757 (109) For other risks 5,664 3,394 2,270 Total other provisions 7,488 5,151 2,337 The provision for taxes arises from the merger of the former parent company FIMEI S.p.A. and is maintained on the balance sheet to cover any liabilities related to it. The provision for other risks was recognised to cover personnel litigation risks (€ 3,021 thousand), returns to Assinde (€ 2,041 thousand), reductions in National Health Service spending (€ 483 thousand), damages not fully covered by insurance for damage to goods in storage caused by bad weather (€ 100 thousand) and work carried out for the “Buzzi Project” (€ 19 thousand). 35. FAIR VALUE OF HEDGING DERIVATIVES (current liabilities) The balance as at 31 st December 2021 was € 13,698 thousand (€ 8,505 thousand as at 31 st December 2020). The interest rate swaps to hedge the cash flows related to medium and long‐term loans measured at fair value as at 31 st December 2021 gave rise to a € 2,106 thousand liability which represents the unrealised benefit of paying the current expected future rates instead of the rates agreed for the duration of the loans. The fair value measurement relates to interest rate swaps entered into by the Company to hedge interest rates on loans granted by Intesa Sanpaolo (€ 873 thousand) and Mediobanca (€ 1,233 thousand). The market value (fair value) as at 31 st December 2021 of the forward contract entered into to hedge currency risks on the loan to the company Recordati AG for CHF 162,704 thousand nominal was negative by € 9,256 thousand and the change was recognised through profit and loss. The market value (fair value) of forward contracts entered into to hedge currency risks on the smaller loans to Recordati AG and Recordati Rare Diseases Japan was negative by € 2,266 thousand and € 70 thousand and was recognised through profit and loss. The fair value of these hedging derivatives is measured at level 2 of the hierarchy set out in financial reporting standard IFRS 13 (see note 2). The fair value is equal to the present value of the estimated future cash flows. The estimated future cash flows at a floating interest rate are based on listed interest‐rate swaps, futures prices and interbank rates. The estimated cash flows are discounted using a yield curve which reflects the reference interbank rate applied by market participants for the measurement of interest‐rate swaps.

DISCLOSURE OF FINANCIAL RISKS The Company constantly monitors the financial risks to which it is exposed in order to take immediate mitigation action when necessary. The company aims to achieve a balanced and prudent financial structure as a fundamental condition for financing internal and external growth, thereby reducing financing costs to a minimum, while maximising returns. Speculative investments in shares, funds or financial assets which might impair the value of companies is not permitted. The only financial investments admissible are investments in risk free assets and/or funds issued by major financial institutions. The Company monitors the financial risks to which it is exposed in order to take immediate mitigation action, when necessary, in compliance with the applicable legislation and regulations and it transacts only with banks with a strong credit rating. On the basis of the above and considering that the related effects would not be significant, no sensitivity analysis has been carried out.
72 As required by IFRS 7, information is given below on the main financial risks to which the Company is exposed. Credit risk Credit risk is exposure to potential losses resulting from commercial counterparties failing to meet their obligations, also in relation to the effects of the prolonged period of economic and financial difficulty. The Company closely controls its credit exposure through the allocation of credit limits to each single customer and an internal reporting system. As at 31 st December 2021, the credit exposure was not critical due to the large number of customers, their geographical distribution and the average amount of each account receivable. More specifically, gross trade receivables, inclusive of those receivable from subsidiaries, amounted to € 87,621 thousand and the relative allowance for doubtful accounts of € 1,069 thousand recognised is considered to be sufficient in relation to the risk of insolvencies. Interest rate risk The Company raises external funds using debt and invests excess cash in money market funds and other financial instruments. The fluctuation of interest rates influences the cost and returns of the debt and investment instruments therefore affecting the Company’s net financial charges. The Company’s policy is to limit the risk arising from interest rate fluctuations by establishing medium to long‐term loans at fixed or floating interest rates. Any floating rate loans are promptly hedged by using derivative instruments (e.g. interest rate swaps – IRS), used solely for hedging and not speculative purposes. This hedging policy allows the company to reduce the risk attaching to fluctuations in interest rates (as illustrated in note 27). Foreign currency risk The Company is exposed to foreign currency fluctuations which can affect its operating results. In particular, the Company is exposed to foreign currency fluctuations on its international sales and financing denominated in currencies other than the euro. The Company also enters into forward contracts for the purchase and sale of currency in order to hedge amounts at risk. It does this for hedging purposes only and not for speculation. Liquidity risk The liquidity risk to which the Company could be exposed consists of the inability to raise sufficient funds for its ongoing business and for the development of its industrial and commercial activities. The two main factors which determine the Company's liquidity are, on the one hand, the resources generated or absorbed by operations and by investments, and on the other, the expiry and renewal terms of debt or the degree of liquidity of financial investments and market conditions. The Company has a supply of readily available liquidity and substantial lines of credit available granted by a number of leading Italian and international banks. The maturities of the Company’s financial assets and its debt are reported in notes 24, 26, 34 and 35 to the financial statements which discuss cash and cash equivalents, medium to long‐term borrowings and short‐term debt from banks and other lenders. The Group believes that the funds and credit lines currently available, in addition to those generated by operations and financing activities, are enough to satisfy investment needs, working capital requirements and the repayment of debts on their natural due dates.
73 41. SEGMENT REPORTING Reporting by business segment, presented in compliance with IFRS 8 – Operating segments – has been performed according to the same accounting policies employed in the presentation of the consolidated financial statements of the Group where, following the acquisition Recordati Rare Diseases, two main segments have been identified: the Specialty and Primary Care segment and the rare diseases pharmaceuticals segment, which relates to the whole of Recordati Rare Diseases. Consequently the only business segment that exists for Recordati S.p.A. is the Specialty and Primary Care segment. Furthermore, the pharmaceutical chemicals business is considered an integral part of the specialty and primary care segment because from an organisational and strategic viewpoint it is involved principally in the production of the active ingredients required to produce pharmaceuticals. 42. LITIGATION AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES The Company is party to certain minor legal actions, the outcomes of which are not expected to result in any significant liability. Some license agreements require the payment of future milestones as certain conditions—whose fulfillment is as yet uncertain—occur, with the consequence that the contractually required payments, estimated at around € 105 million, are merely potential at the moment. 43. NET FINANCIAL POSITION The following summary is also given to complete our analysis of the Company's financial position. This situation is in line with Consob Alert No. 5/21 of 29 th April 2021 concerning compliance with “Guidelines on disclosure obligations under the Prospectus Regulation” published by the ESMA on 4 th March 2021 with the document ESMA32-382-1138. € (thousands) 31.12.2021 31.12.2020 Change 2021/2020 Deposits in bank current accounts and cash on hand 60,356 84,972 (24,616) Short‐term loans to Group companies 128,165 75,554 52,611 Cash and cash equivalents and current receivables 188,521 160,526 27,995 Short‐term liabilities to banks (2,105) (2,088) (17) Borrowings due within one year (201,031) (246,997) 45,966 Short‐term borrowings from Group companies (520,268) (401,971) (118,297) Short‐term borrowings (723,404) (651,056) (72,348) Net current financial position (534,883) (490,530) (44,353) Loans and receivables ‐ due after one year 131,711 150,693 (18,982) Borrowings – due after one year (1) (709,364) (707,078) (2,286) Net financial position (1,112,536) (1,046,915) (65,621) (1) Including the recognition at fair value of derivative instruments to hedge foreign exchange rate risk (cash flow hedges).

NON‐RECURRING SIGNIFICANT EVENTS AND TRANSACTIONS In compliance with Consob communication of 28 th July 2006 a summary is given in the table below of the main events, transactions and actions which are non‐recurring and which do not repeat frequently in the usual course of business. The overall net effect of such occurrences on the profit and loss, balance sheet and cash flow of the Company and a positive impact of € 8,993 thousand. € (thousands) 2021 2020 Changes 2021/2020 ACE (Aid to Economic Growth) tax benefit from the reverse merger 12,885 0 12,885 Leaving incentives (2,410) 0 (2,410) COVID‐19 emergency costs (1,483) (3,260) 1,777 Total non‐recurring income/(expense) 8,992 (3,260) 12,252 45. ATYPICAL AND/OR UNUSUAL TRANSACTIONS In compliance with CONSOB communication of 28 th July 2006 the Company performed no atypical and/or unusual transactions in 2021 as defined in that same communication, according to which atypical and/or unusual transactions are those which because of their significance or importance, the nature of the counterparties, the content of the transaction, the way in which the transfer price is decided and the timing of the event (close to the end of the financial year) might give rise to doubts concerning: the accuracy and completeness of the information in the financial statements, a conflict of interests, the security of the company’s assets, the protection of the interests of minority shareholders. 46. RELATED‐PARTY TRANSACTIONS As at 31 st December 2021, intercompany accounts with companies that form the Recordati Group showed payables of € 529,235 thousand and receivables of € 306,380 thousand.

The following summary is set out in the table below in compliance with Consob Resolution No. 15519 of 27 th July 2006: Percentage of transactions with related parties € (thousands) Total Related parties Amount % Percentage of transactions or positions in the balance sheet with related parties Trade receivables and other 109,372 46,594 42.60 Long‐term financial assets 131,711 131,620 99.96 Short‐term financial assets 128,165 128,165 100.00 Trade payables and other 94,808 8,966 9.46 Short‐term financial liabilities 721,299 520,268 72.13 Percentage of transactions or positions in the income statement with related parties Revenue 469,120 233,434 49.76 Income from investments 123,854 123,854 100.00 Costs of purchases and service provision 230,938 22,509 9.75 Financial income (expense), net (16,514) 1,436 (8.70) Transactions and positions with related parties as a percentage of cash flows is basically the same as that for the income statement items because the transactions are conducted under normal market conditions. It is underlined that no direct business was conducted during the year with the company that carries out management and co‐ordination activities. With regard to direct relations during the year with the company that exercises management and co‐ ordination, we report that some employees of the Recordati Group have been designated as beneficiaries of an incentive scheme, with a vesting period of five years, under which they have purchased shares of Rossini Luxembourg S.àr.l. at face value, an indirect shareholder of Recordati S.p.A., and they will receive a return at the end of the life of the scheme. In compliance with disclosure obligations set out in Art. 38 of Legislative Decree No. 127/91, we report that fees paid to directors and statutory auditors for carrying out their functions during the course of 2021 amounted to € 3,261 thousand and € 152 thousand respectively. Details of total remuneration received by directors and key management personnel are given in the table below. € (thousands) 2021 2020 Fixed remuneration 4,974 4,516 Non‐monetary benefits 109 131 Bonuses and other incentives 2,132 942 Share‐based payments 771 839 Total 7,986 6,428
76 The remuneration includes salaries and non‐monetary benefits. Key management personnel also participate in stock option plans. Following extraordinary operations involving the life of the Company in relation to the sale of their controlling interest by the Recordati family to a consortium of investment funds controlled by CVC Capital Partners VII Limited, on 28 th February 2019 the Board of Directors of the Company, appointed by a Shareholders’ Meeting held on 5 th February 2019, noted the management and co‐ordination exercised by Rossini Luxembourg S.àr.l. over Recordati S.p.A. pursuant to articles 2497 and following of the Italian Civil Code. We report that Rossini Luxembourg S.àr.l. was formed on 14/05/2018. Key figures from the financial statements for the year ended 31 st December 2020 approved by the company that exercises management and co‐ordination are reported in Attachment 6. The direct parent of the Company forms part of a consortium of investment funds controlled by CVC Capital Partners. 47. IMPORTANT EVENTS AFTER THE REPORTING PERIOD At the date of preparing the financial statements no corporate events had occurred after the end of the year which might require modifications to be made to the value of assets and liabilities and the amounts in the income statement. In December 2021, the Company announced the signing of a share purchase agreement to acquire EUSA Pharma (UK) Ltd, a global specialty pharmaceutical company with headquarters in the United Kingdom, focused on rare and niche oncology diseases, for an enterprise value of €750 million. The transaction, following the regulatory authorities’ approval, has been completed on 16 March 2022 and will be consolidated in the Recordati group financial statements as of 31 March 2022. The acquisition of EUSA Pharma represents another step forward in delivering on the Group’s strategy to increase its presence in the rare disease segment and fulfill its mission: improving the lives of patients whilst delivering innovative treatments that address serious unmet medical needs. The deal will complement Group’s global footprint with new capabilities and a highly efficient commercial infrastructure, adding a growing portfolio of 4 rare and niche oncology disease products, providing a platform for potential future expansion. In the face of the Russia‐Ukraine crisis, the Recordati Group has given immediate priority to the safety of its people and is implementing all possible measures and initiatives to guarantee the supply of medicines to patients in territories involved. In spite of the resilience of the pharmaceutical sector, recent operating performance and the diversification of the Group, it is difficult to quantify at this stage the potential future impacts from this crisis, given the complex and constantly evolving situation. Except for the above no significant events occurred after the end of the year.
77 48. PROPOSAL FOR THE ALLOCATION OF NET INCOME FOR THE YEAR AND OF RESERVES A proposal is made for the net income for the year, amounting to € 219,109,346, and also a quota of the distributable reserves, to be allocated as follows: - distribution to shareholders of a dividend of € 0.57 per share, in full balance of the interim 2021 dividend of € 0.53, for all shares outstanding at the ex‐dividend date (coupon no. 29), excluding treasury shares in the portfolio at that date (payment on 25 May 2022 and record date 24 May 2022), with ex‐dividend on 23 May 2022. The full 2021 dividend is therefore € 1.10 per share (€ 1.05 per share in 2020).

Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements Opinion We have audited the financial statements of Recordati Industria Chimica e Farmaceutica S.p.A. (the Company), which comprise the statement of financial position as at 31 December 2021, and the statement of income, the statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. In our opinion, the financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial position of the Company as at 31 December 2021, and of its financial performance and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union and with the regulations issued for implementing art. 9 of Legislative Decree n. 38/2005. Basis for Opinion We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISA Italia). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the regulations and standards on ethics and independence applicable to audits of financial statements under Italian Laws. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. Key Audit Matters Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
2 We identified the following key audit matters: Key Audit Matter Audit Response Recoverability of the book value of investments in subsidiaries As of 31 December 2021, the investments in subsidiaries recorded in the Company's financial statements amount to Euro 1.053 million. In case of specific impairment indicators, the value of investments in subsidiaries, recorded at cost, is tested for impairment by the directors. For the purpose of impairment testing, the value of the investments in subsidiaries is compared with the recoverable amount, defined as the higher of the fair value less costs to sell and the value in use. The processes as well as the methods of evaluation and calculation of the recoverable amount of investments in subsidiaries are based on assumptions, sometimes complex, which imply, by their nature, estimates by the directors, especially with regard to the forecast of future cash flows, the determination of the discount rates and growth rates adopted beyond the period with explicit forecasts. Considering the significance of the item, the judgment requested and the complexity of the assumptions adopted in the estimation of the recoverable amount of investments in subsidiaries, we assessed this matter as a key audit matter. Financial statements disclosures related to this matter are reported in the note "2. Summary of significant accounting policies" and in particular in the note "16. Investments", which describes the composition of the balance as of 31 December 2021, as well as the methodology used to assess the recoverable amount of investments in subsidiaries, with specific reference to the valuation methodology and the assumptions used. Our audit procedures related to the key audit matter included, among the others: i. the analysis of the procedure adopted by the Company and the methodology applied in connection with identification and evaluation of any reduction in the value of investments in subsidiaries, taking into account the impairment test procedure approved by the Board of Directors of the Company on 17 March 2022; ii. the analysis of the differences between the value of investments in subsidiaries and the corresponding value of the net assets of the subsidiaries, also considering the effects recognized and tested in the consolidated financial statements; iii. the analysis of the reasonableness of the expected cash flows; iv. the analysis of the impairment test, also taking into account the activities performed to assess the recoverability of goodwill in the consolidated financial statements; v. the assessment of the quality of forecasts as compared to the historical accuracy of the previous forecasts; vi. the sensitivity analysis on key assumptions in order to identify the changes in assumptions that could have a significant impact on the valuation of the recoverable amount. Our procedures were performed with the support of our experts in valuation techniques, who analyzed the valuation methodologies adopted, verified the mathematical accuracy of the calculation models and evaluated the criteria adopted to determine the discount rates and growth rates applied beyond the period with explicit forecasts. Finally, we analyzed the disclosures provided in the financial statements of the Company as of 31 December 2021.
3 Responsibilities of Directors and Those Charged with Governance for the Financial Statements The Directors are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union and with the regulations issued for implementing art. 9 of Legislative Decree n. 38/2005, and, within the terms provided by the law, for such internal control as they determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. The Directors are responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and, when preparing the financial statements, for the appropriateness of the going concern assumption, and for appropriate disclosure thereof. The Directors prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis unless they either intend to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. The statutory audit committee (“Collegio Sindacale”) is responsible, within the terms provided by the law, for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process. Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISA Italia) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. As part of an audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISA Italia), we have exercised professional judgment and maintained professional skepticism throughout the audit. In addition: we have identified and assessed the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, designed and performed audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtained audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control; we have obtained an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control; we have evaluated the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the Directors; we have concluded on the appropriateness of Directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to consider this matter in forming our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern;
4 we have evaluated the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. We have communicated with those charged with governance, identified at an appropriate level as required by ISA Italia, regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit. We have provided those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with the ethical and independence requirements applicable in Italy, and we have communicated with them all matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards. From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we have determined those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We have described these matters in our auditor’s report.
