March 20, 2026 – MILAN—(Business Wire)—Ermenegildo Zegna N.V. (NYSE:ZGN) (the “Company” and, together with its consolidated subsidiaries, the “Ermenegildo Zegna Group” or “the Group”) today announced Profit of €109.5 million for FY 2025, up 20% year-on-year (YoY), compared to €90.9 million in FY 2024. Adjusted EBIT for FY 2025 was €163.0 million (€173.0 million before a €10 million provision for expected losses on trade receivables related to Saks Global), compared to €184.0 million in FY 2024.

Ermenegildo “Gildo” Zegna, Executive Chairman of the Ermenegildo Zegna Group, commented: “In 2025 our Group delivered solid revenue and net profit growth despite a continued challenging environment for the sector. Group revenues reached €1.9 billion, +1.1% organic, which translated to a Profit of €109 million, up 20% compared to last year. We also closed the year with a Cash Surplus of €52 million, further strengthening our Group’s financial flexibility.

Looking ahead, recent developments in the Middle East have introduced additional uncertainty across the sector. In this more complex environment, our priorities remain clear: disciplined growth, strong cash generation, and rigorous execution to deliver on our targets. While we remain vigilant to potential risks, our ambitions are unchanged—and so is our determination to deliver on them, together.”

1 Revenues on an organic growth basis (organic or organic growth) and on a constant currency basis (constant currency), Adjusted EBIT, Adjusted EBIT Margin, Trade Working Capital, Net Financial Indebtedness/(Cash Surplus) and Free Cash Flow are non-IFRS financial measures. See the non-IFRS financial measures section starting on page 15 of this press release for the definition and reconciliation of non-IFRS financial measures.

Fiscal Year 2025 Key Financial Highlights

Revenues

In FY 2025 the Group recorded revenues of €1,916.9 million (-1.5% YoY and +1.1% organic). The ZEGNA brand recorded revenues of €1,181.6 million (+1.5% YoY and +4.7% organic). Thom Browne reported revenues of €268.5 million (-14.7% YoY and -12.2% organic). TOM FORD FASHION recorded revenues of €317.1 million (+0.8% YoY and +3.1% organic). Textile revenues were €134.2 million (-2.8% YoY and -3.1% organic) and Other revenues were €15.6 million (+0.4% YoY and +0.8% organic).

Full details of the Group’s revenues are included in the Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2025, which is going to be filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission today.

Gross Profit, Operating Profit and Profit

Gross profit in FY 2025 reached €1,294.0 million, from €1,296.6 million in FY 2024, with a gross profit margin of 67.5%, compared to 66.6% in FY 2024. This increase was mainly driven by channel mix, with direct-to-consumer (“DTC”) rising to 82% of total branded products revenues in FY 2025 (up from 78% in FY 2024).

Selling, general, and administrative (SG&A) expenses were €1,033.9 million (53.9% of revenues) in FY 2025, compared to €1,008.3 million (51.8% of revenues) in FY 2024.

The increase mainly reflects investments to support future growth, including personnel expenses, higher IT spending, and the continued development of our retail network. It also includes €10 million of provisions for expected losses on trade receivables related to Saks Global following its voluntary filing for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. The SG&A incidence on revenues was also affected by negative operating leverage resulting from lower revenues, particularly at Thom Browne, only partially offset by actions taken to contain discretionary spending.

Marketing expenses in FY 2025 were €120.7 million, compared to €121.4 million in FY 2024, with the incidence on revenues substantially flat (6.3% in FY 2025 vs. 6.2% in FY 2024) despite a higher number of activations, reflecting a more focused and efficient approach to marketing across the three brands. As a result of the above, the Group reported an operating profit of €139.5 million, compared to €166.9 million in FY 2024.

The Group’s Profit in FY 2025 was €109.5 million (5.7% margin), compared to €90.9 million (4.7% margin) in FY 2024. This performance was supported by higher financial income and foreign exchange gains (€41.5 million and €9.0 million respectively), mainly due to favorable foreign exchange rates and to a lower effective tax rate (22% in FY 2025, compared to

30% in FY 2024). The decline in the Group’s effective tax rate has been driven by higher non-taxable income in FY 2025 relating to the remeasurement of the put option liabilities.

Adjusted EBIT and Adjusted EBIT Margin

The table below shows the reconciliation of Profit to Adjusted EBIT and the calculation of Profit Margin and Adjusted EBIT Margin for FY 2025 and 2024. Adjusted EBIT is the main performance metric used by the Group’s management at the consolidated and reporting segment level.

In FY 2025, Adjusted EBIT amounted to €163.0 million, including a €10 million allowance for expected losses on trade receivables related to the Saks Global Chapter 11 filing. Excluding this impact, Adjusted EBIT would have been €173.0 million.

Zegna segment

In FY 2025, the Zegna segment (which includes the ZEGNA brand, Textile and Other) generated revenues of €1,363.2 million2 (+1.1% YoY and +3.7% organic).

Adjusted EBIT for the Zegna segment was €196.7 million in FY 2025, including €3 million of provisions related to Saks Global, with an Adjusted EBIT Margin of 14.4% compared to 13.9% in FY 2024. The increase in Adjusted EBIT Margin was driven by a favorable channel mix coupled with solid revenue growth and continued cost control actions.

Thom Browne segment

In FY 2025, the Thom Browne segment generated revenues of €268.9 million2 (-14.6% YoY and -12.1% organic).

Adjusted EBIT was €952 thousand, including a €2 million provisions related to Saks Global, with an Adjusted EBIT margin of 0.4% compared to 8.7% in FY 2024. The decrease was driven by a decline in revenues, as the wholesale channel streamlining caused a 40% decrease in revenues from the channel, and by investments for the opening of selected new stores as part of our strategic decision to reduce exposure to wholesale while strengthening direct control of retail, only partially offset by discretionary cost control actions.

Tom Ford Fashion segment

In FY 2025, the Tom Ford Fashion (“TFF”) segment generated revenues of €317.1 million2 (+0.8% YoY and +3.1% organic).

Adjusted EBIT was negative €15.5 million, compared to negative €10.1 million in FY 2024, and includes €5 million of provisions related to Saks Global. The operating performance mainly reflects investments made in the personnel, IT platform and DTC network to support the evolution of the business.

2 Before inter-segment eliminations

Corporate

Corporate costs amounted to €19.0 million in FY 2025 compared to €20.0 million in FY 2024. The slight decrease was mainly due to lower costs related to insurance coverage.

Capital Expenditure, Trade Working Capital, Net Financial Indebtedness/(Cash Surplus) and Free Cash Flow

Capital expenditure

For the years ended December 31,
(€ thousands) 2025 2024
Payments for property, plant and equipment 80,504 100,104
Payments for intangible assets 22,392 25,425
Capital expenditure 102,896 125,529
Capital expenditure as % of revenues 5.4 % 6.4 %

Capital expenditure (capex) was €102.9 million in FY 2025, compared to €125.5 million in FY 2024. The 2025 capex was primarily related to our store network, which accounted for approximately 60% of total investments, as well as the investments in the new footwear production plant in Parma (Italy) and in IT initiatives.

Trade Working Capital

At December 31, Change
(€ thousands) 2025 2024
Trade Working Capital 407,745 460,034 (52,289)
of which trade receivables 227,087 248,790 (21,703)
of which inventories 506,903 521,015 (14,112)
of which trade payables and customer advances (326,245) (309,771) (16,474)

Trade Working Capital was €407.7 million at December 31, 2025, down 11% from €460.0 million at December 31, 2024. The reduction was due to foreign currency impact, a better control of inventories and lower receivables.

Net Financial Indebtedness/(Cash Surplus)

At December 31, Change
(€ thousands) 2025 2024
Net Financial Indebtedness/(Cash Surplus) (52,093) 94,225 (146,318)

Cash Surplus was €52.09 million at December 31, 2025, compared to a Net Financial Indebtedness of €94.2 million at December 31, 2024. The change primarily reflects an improved Free Cash Flow generation and the inflow due to the sale of treasury shares to Temasek (€107.2 million).

Free Cash Flow

For the years ended December 31,
(€ thousands) 2025 2024
Net cash flows from operating activities 335,559 279,129
Payments for property, plant and equipment (80,504) (100,104)
Payments for intangible assets (22,392) (25,425)
Payments for right-of-use assets (2,917)
Payments of lease liabilities (147,671) (143,549)
Free Cash Flow 82,075 10,051

The Group continued to maintain positive cash flow generation in FY 2025, which reached €82.1 million, compared to €10.1 million in FY 2024. The increase in Free Cash Flow generation was driven by higher cash flow from operating activities and improved working capital management.

Outlook

Recent developments in the Middle East have increased uncertainty around the global economic outlook in 2026 and reduced visibility on the demand for luxury goods. The Group’s management confirms that it remains focused on delivering on its 2027 targets while acknowledging the potential risks related to the duration of the conflict and its possible impact on global growth and consumer demand.

Subsequent events

New leadership structure

Effective January 1, 2026, Ermenegildo Zegna Group implemented previously announced changes to the leadership structure for the Group and for the ZEGNA brand. Ermenegildo “Gildo” Zegna has assumed the role of Group Executive Chairman. Gianluca Tagliabue, has assumed the role of Group Chief Executive Officer subject to shareholders’ approval at the next annual general meeting while Gian Franco Santhià has been appointed Group Chief Financial Officer. Edoardo and Angelo Zegna, members of the fourth generation of the Zegna family, have been appointed Co‑CEOs of the ZEGNA brand.

Saks Global

On January 13, 2026, Saks Global filed for bankruptcy protection under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code. In Q1 2026, the Group resumed shipments to Saks Global’s department stores in the U.S. for the Spring–Summer collections.

Middle East

On February 28, 2026, geopolitical tensions in the Middle East escalated following military actions in the region. The Group operates in certain Middle Eastern countries. The situation is in constant development, and the potential impact for the Group and for the broader luxury sector remains uncertain.

Proposal of dividend distribution

On March 19, 2026, the Board of Directors of the Company proposed to make a dividend distribution of €0.12 per share to holders of the Company’s ordinary shares, corresponding to a total dividend distribution of approximately €32.2 million.

Non-IFRS Financial Measures

The Group’s management monitors and evaluates operating and financial performance using several non-IFRS financial measures including: adjusted earnings before interest and taxes (“Adjusted EBIT”), Adjusted EBIT Margin, Net Financial Indebtedness/(Cash Surplus), Trade Working Capital, Free Cash Flow, revenues on a constant currency basis (Constant Currency) and revenues on an organic growth basis (organic or organic growth). The Group’s management believes that these non-IFRS financial measures provide useful and relevant information regarding the Group’s financial performance and financial condition, and improve the ability of management and investors to assess and compare the financial performance and financial position of the Group with those of other companies. They also provide comparable measures that facilitate management’s ability to identify operational trends, as well as make decisions regarding future spending, resource allocations and other strategic and operational decisions. While similar measures are widely used in the industry in which the Group operates, the financial measures that the Group uses may not be comparable to other similarly named 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 Accounting Standards. A definition, explanation of relevance and a reconciliation of each non-IFRS financial measure to the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards are set out below.

Adjusted EBIT and Adjusted EBIT Margin

Adjusted EBIT is defined as profit or loss before income taxes plus financial income, financial expenses, foreign exchange gains and losses, and the result from investments accounted for using the equity method, adjusted for income and costs which are significant in nature and that management considers not reflective of underlying operating activities, including, for one or all of the periods presented and as further described below, net impairment of leased and owned stores, severance indemnities and provisions for severance expenses, legal costs for trademark dispute and transaction costs related to acquisitions.

Adjusted EBIT Margin is defined as Adjusted EBIT divided by revenues of the applicable period.

The Group’s management uses Adjusted EBIT and Adjusted EBIT Margin for internal reporting to assess performance and as part of the forecasting, budgeting and decision-making processes as they provide additional transparency regarding the Group’s underlying operating performance. The Group’s management believes these non-IFRS financial measures are useful because they exclude items that management believes are not indicative of the Group’s underlying operating performance and allow management to view operating trends, perform analytical comparisons and benchmark performance between periods and among segments. The Group’s management also believes that Adjusted EBIT and Adjusted EBIT Margin are useful for investors and analysts to better understand how management assesses the Group’s underlying operating performance on a consistent basis and to compare the Group’s performance with that of other companies. Accordingly, management believes that Adjusted EBIT and Adjusted EBIT Margin provide useful information to third party stakeholders in understanding and evaluating the Group’s operating results.

The following table presents a reconciliation of Profit to Adjusted EBIT and the calculation of the Profit Margin and the Adjusted EBIT Margin for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.

Net Financial Indebtedness/(Cash Surplus)

Net Financial Indebtedness/(Cash Surplus) is defined as the sum of financial borrowings (current and non-current) and derivative financial instrument liabilities, net of cash and cash equivalents, derivative financial instrument assets and securities (recorded within other current financial assets in the consolidated statement of financial position).

The Group’s management believes that Net Financial Indebtedness/(Cash Surplus) is useful to monitor the level of net liquidity and financial resources available to the Group. The Group’s management believes this non-IFRS financial measure aids management, investors and analysts to analyze the Group’s financial position and financial resources available, and to compare the Group’s financial position and financial resources available with that of other companies.

The following table sets forth the calculation of Net Financial Indebtedness/(Cash Surplus) at December 31, 2025 and 2024.

Trade Working Capital

Trade Working Capital is defined as current assets less current liabilities adjusted for derivative assets and liabilities, tax receivables and liabilities, cash and cash equivalents, borrowings, lease liabilities, and certain other current assets and liabilities.

The Group’s management uses Trade Working Capital to understand and evaluate the Group’s liquidity generation/absorption. The Group’s management believes this non-IFRS financial measure is important supplemental information for investors in evaluating liquidity in that it provides insight into the availability of net current resources to fund our ongoing operations. Trade Working Capital is a measure used by management in internal evaluations of cash availability and operational performance.

Free Cash Flow

Free Cash Flow is defined as net cash flows from operating activities less payments for property, plant and equipment (net of proceeds from disposals), intangible assets, right-of-use assets and lease liabilities.

The Group’s management believes that Free Cash Flow is a useful metric for management, investors and analysts to evaluate and monitor the Group’s ability to generate cash, including in comparison to other companies. Free Cash Flow should not be considered representative of residual cash flows available for discretionary purposes.

The following table sets forth the Free Cash Flow for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024:

Revenues on a constant currency basis (Constant Currency)

In addition to presenting our revenues on a current currency basis, we also present certain revenue information on a constant currency basis (Constant Currency), which excludes the effects of foreign currency translation from our subsidiaries with functional currencies different from the Euro.

We calculate Constant Currency revenues by applying the current period average foreign currency exchange rates to translate prior period revenues of foreign subsidiaries expressed in local functional currencies different than the Euro.

We use revenues on a Constant Currency basis to analyze how our underlying revenues have changed between periods independent of the effects of foreign currency translation.

Revenues on a Constant Currency basis are not a substitute for revenues on a current currency basis or any IFRS-related measures, however we believe that revenues excluding the impact of foreign currency translation provide additional useful information to management and to investors in analyzing and evaluating our revenues and operating performance.

Revenues on an organic growth basis (organic or organic growth)

In addition to presenting our revenues on a current currency basis, we also present certain revenue information on an organic growth basis (organic or organic growth). Organic growth is calculated as the change in revenues from period to period, excluding the effects of (a) foreign exchange, (b) acquisitions and disposals and (c) changes in license agreements where the Group operates as a licensee.

In calculating organic growth, the following adjustments are made to revenues:

(1)Foreign exchange – Current period average foreign currency exchange rates are used to translate prior period revenues of foreign subsidiaries expressed in local functional currencies different than the Euro.

(2)Acquisitions and disposals – Revenues generated by businesses and operations acquired in the current year are excluded. Revenues generated by businesses and operations acquired in the prior year are excluded from the current year for the same period that corresponds to the pre-acquisition period in the prior year. Additionally, where a business or operation was a customer prior to an acquisition, the related pre-acquisition revenues are excluded from the current and prior periods. Revenues generated by businesses and operations disposed of in the current year or prior year are excluded from both periods as applicable.

(3)Changes in license agreements where the Group operates as a licensee – Revenues generated from license agreements where the Group operates as a licensee that are new or terminated in the current year or prior year are excluded from both periods (except if the effects are already included in acquisitions and disposals). Additionally, revenues generated from license agreements where the Group operates as a licensee that experienced a structural change in the scope or perimeter in the current year or prior year are excluded from both periods, including changes to product categories, distribution channels or geographies of the underlying license agreements.

We believe the presentation of revenues on an organic basis is useful to better understand and analyze the underlying change in the Group’s revenues from period to period on a consistent perimeter and constant currency basis.

Revenues on an organic basis are not a substitute for revenues on a current currency basis or any IFRS-related measures, however we believe that revenues excluding the effects of (a) foreign exchange, (b) acquisitions and disposals and (c) changes in license agreements where the Group operates as a licensee provide additional useful information to management and to investors in analyzing and evaluating our revenues and operating performance.

The tables below show a reconciliation of reported revenue performance to Constant Currency, excluding the effects of foreign exchange, and to organic performance, which excludes also acquisitions and disposals and changes in license agreements where the Group operates as a licensee, by segment, by brand and product line, by distribution channel and by geographic area for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the year ended December 31, 2024 (FY 2025 vs FY 2024).
