Safe Harbor Statement Forward-Looking Statements This presentation contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 that reflect the current views of Stevanato Group S.p.A. ("we", "our", "us", "Stevanato Group" or the "Company") and which involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that will occur in the future whether or not outside the control of the Company. These forward-looking statements include, or may include words such as "will," "rising," "growth," "driving," "increasing," "objectives," "expanded," "guidance," "acceleration," "expect," "expansion," "advance," "expanding," "future," "trends" and other similar terminology. Forward-looking statements contained in this presentation include, but are not limited to, statements about: our future financial performance, including our revenue, operating expenses and our ability to maintain profitability and operational and commercial capabilities; our ability to capitalize on opportunities, drive long term organic growth, leverage our product portfolio and build shareholder value; our expectations regarding the development of our industry and the competitive environment in which we operate; the expansion of our plants and our expectations to increase production capacity; the global supply chain and our committed orders; the continued global response to COVID-19 and our role in it; developments in demographic trends; expansions of vaccinations programs and access to healthcare in developing countries; our geographical and industrial footprint; our goals and capital expenditures projects and our strategies and investment plans. These statements are neither promises nor guarantees but involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors and circumstances that may cause Stevanato Group's actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from its expectations expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to the following: (i) our product offerings are highly complex, and, if our products do not satisfy applicable quality criteria, specifications and performance standards, we could experience lost sales, delayed or reduced market acceptance of our products, increased costs and damage to our reputation; (ii) we must develop new products and enhance existing products, adapt to significant technological and innovative changes and respond to introductions of new products by competitors to remain competitive; (iii) our backlog might not accurately predict our future revenue, and we might not realize all or any part of the anticipated revenue reflected in our backlog; (iv) if we fail to maintain and enhance our brand and reputation, our business, results of operations and prospects may be materially and adversely affected; (v) we are highly dependent on our management and employees. Competition for our employees is intense, and we may not be able to attract and retain the highly skilled employees that we need to support our business and our intended future growth; (vi) our business, financial condition and results of operations depend upon maintaining our relationships with suppliers and service providers; (vii) our business, financial condition and results of operations depend upon the availability and price of high-quality materials and energy supply and our ability to contain production costs; (viii) significant interruptions in our operations could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations; (ix) as a consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic, global sales of syringes and vials to and for vaccination programs had increased, resulting in a revenue growth acceleration. The demand for such products may continue to shrink if the need for COVID-19 related solutions continues to decline; (x) our manufacturing facilities are subject to operating hazards which may lead to production curtailments or shutdowns and have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition or cash flows; (xi) our business, financial condition and results of operations may be impacted by our ability to successfully expand capacity to meet customer demand; (xii) the loss of a significant number of customers or a reduction in orders from a significant number of customers, including through destocking initiatives or lack of transparency of our products held by customers, could reduce our sales and harm our financial performance; (xiii) we may face significant competition in implementing our strategies for revenue growth in light of actions taken by our competitors; (xiv) our global operations are subject to international market risks that may have a material effect on our liquidity, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows; (xv) we are required to comply with a wide variety of laws and regulations and are subject to regulation by various federal, state and foreign agencies; (xvi) given the relevance of our activities in the healthcare sector, investments by non-Italian entities in the Company, as well as certain asset disposals by the Company, may be subject to the prior authorization of the Italian Government (so called "golden powers"); (xvii) if relations between China and the United States deteriorate, our business in the United States and China could be materially and adversely affected; (xviii) cyber security risks and the failure to maintain the confidentiality, integrity and availability of our computer hardware, software and internet applications and related tools and functions, could result in damage to our reputation, data integrity and/or subject us to costs, fines or lawsuits under data privacy or other laws or contractual requirements; (xix) our trade secrets may be misappropriated or disclosed, and confidentiality agreements with directors, employees and third parties may not adequately prevent disclosure of trade secrets and protect other proprietary information; (xx) if we are unable to obtain and maintain patent protection for our technology, products and potential products, or if the scope of the patent protection obtained is not sufficiently broad, we may not be able to compete effectively in our markets; (xxi) we depend in part on proprietary technology licensed from others. If we lose our existing licenses or are unable to acquire or license additional proprietary rights from third parties, we may not be able to continue developing our potential products; (xxii) we are obligated to maintain proper and effective internal control over financial reporting. Our internal controls were not effective for the year ended December 31, 2023, and in the future may not be determined to be effective, which may adversely affect investor confidence in us and, as a result, the value of our ordinary shares; and any other risk described under the headings "Risk Factors", "Operating and Financial Review and Prospects" and "Business" in our most recent Annual Report on Form 20-F filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. This list is not exhaustive. We caution you therefore against relying on these forward-looking statements and we qualify all of our forward-looking statements by these cautionary statements. These forward-looking statements speak only as at their dates. The Company undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statement or statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which such statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible to predict all of these factors. Further, the Company cannot assess the impact of each such factor on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to be materially different from those contained in any forward-looking statements. For a description of certain additional factors that could cause the Company's future results to differ from those expressed in any such forward-looking statements, refer to the risk factors discussed in our most recent Annual Report on Form 20-F filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Non-IFRS Financial Information This presentation contains non-IFRS measures. Please refer to the tables included in this presentation for a reconciliation of non-IFRS measures. Management monitors and evaluates our operating and financial performance using several non-IFRS financial measures, including Constant Currency Revenue, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Operating Profit, Adjusted Operating Profit Margin, Adjusted Net Profit Margin, Adjusted Income Taxes, Adjusted Net Profit, Adjusted Diluted EPS, Capital Employed, Net (Debt) / Cash, Free Cash Flow and CAPEX. We believe that these non-IFRS financial measures provide useful and relevant information regarding our performance and improve our ability to assess our financial condition. While similar measures are widely used in the industry in which we operate, the financial measures we use may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies, nor are they intended to be substitutes for measures of financial performance or financial position as prepared in accordance with IFRS. Accordingly, you should not place undue reliance on any non-IFRS financial measures contained in this presentation.
