The company emphasized its solid backlog and resilience in a challenging market environment, indicating a robust outlook for the coming years.

Main topics

  • Revenue Growth: Sanlorenzo achieved a revenue growth of 4% year-over-year in Q1 2026, amounting to EUR 222.1 million, driven by strong demand in the Super Yacht and Nautor Swan divisions. Management noted, "the good order intake of plus 25% in respect of the '25 quarter is mainly related to the Luseldorf and the Miami Boat Show."
  • Conservative Guidance: For FY 2026, management provided conservative guidance, projecting revenues between EUR 980 million and EUR 1.020 billion, with EBITDA ranging from EUR 180 million to EUR 192 million. They stated, "the guidance provides the solidity of the business model, which allows to continue profitable growth even in a complex geopolitical environment."
  • Strong Backlog: Sanlorenzo reported a gross backlog exceeding EUR 1.2 billion, with 72% of the revenue guidance for 2026 already covered by existing orders. This was highlighted as a key factor for future revenue visibility, with management asserting, "the book-to-bill remained very high at 1x."
  • Geopolitical Risks: Management acknowledged the impact of geopolitical tensions on sales, particularly in Russia and the Middle East, which previously accounted for a significant portion of revenue. They indicated, "the geopolitical stabilization will be a key point of the upside," suggesting potential recovery if conditions improve.
  • Innovation and Design: The company emphasized its commitment to innovation and design as a core driver of sales, with plans to open a design and innovation lab to enhance product offerings. Management noted, "the success of Sanlorenzo has been innovation and design," which has been pivotal for order intake.

Key metrics mentioned

  • Revenue: EUR 222.1 million (up 4% YoY)
  • EBITDA: EUR 38.5 million (up 4% YoY, 17.3% margin)
  • Net Profit: EUR 22.2 million (up 5.1% YoY, 10.1% margin)
  • Gross Backlog: EUR 1.2 billion (covers 72% of 2026 revenue guidance)
  • Guidance Revenue Range: EUR 980 million - EUR 1.020 billion (for FY 2026)

Sanlorenzo's Q1 2026 results reflect a resilient business model amid geopolitical challenges, supported by a strong backlog and a commitment to innovation. While management's conservative guidance may temper expectations, the potential for recovery in key markets and the expansion of high-margin services like refit present significant upside opportunities. Investors should monitor geopolitical developments and the company's execution on its growth strategy.

Welcome to everybody. Thank you to be here. It is proud for us to have you in Casa Sanlorenzo. We meet during the year, the various capital raise, and we tell you about Casa Sanlorenzo, but something is to show you a picture, something else is to show you the place. And I hope that you enjoy it. Now let's start. I -- okay, okay. I'd like to stop for one minute to the team. I started, as you know, working in the yacht industry when I was 23, 43 years ago. And I learned that this industry is a delicate, difficult industry because we work without 6,000 engineers like Mercedes to a product that has to be technically very sophisticated from the artisan point of view, perfect. And our customers are the best man in the world because they became very rich. Therefore, the team working on this business has to be special. And I think that the team we put together in these years is patient. Most of them you know. I would concentrate on Gianguido Girotti, which is in the middle because he's the last one coming to join us. He will present himself. I have to thank a lot Tommaso, which is with us since 18 years. And I believe that doing such a difficult job, it is important to be in the business for many years and the expert of this business. Tom is with us since 18 years. But Gianguido will be with us in a few weeks, but he's in the business for more than 20 years. Pier is the Chief Corporate Officer. He's a very young guy with a lot of energy. And I would say ideas -- being young is bringing a lot of energy and new ideas in the company. The CFO is a guarantee because he's working with me since 20 years. And he's a guy of the number, but he knows very well the number of the yachting, which is important as well. I missed one picture here, which is Carla, which is there. In a few months, she will step out of the CEO position of Bluegame, but she will remain with us. She will remain in the Board of Directors. She will remain as adviser to the Chairman. We have been working together for more than 40 years, and I'm very pleased that she will still support. It will be a long meeting. So please relax because we want to tell you exactly what will be the future and the world of Sanlorenzo, Swan and Bluegame. I will start with the track records and highlights, and then the people you saw in the picture will present the plan. [Foreign Language] [Presentation]

Don't be shy. Today, you have to applause along. [Foreign Language] So let's start. Consistently achieved all targets across market conditions. Two very important message. As you see, in the last 6 years since the IPO, we have been very conservative. We've been very prudent in giving our numbers, and we achieved every year all the promise we gave you. And this is the base of the planning of the next 3 years as well. We like to remember and we think that the Sanlorenzo of today is a much stronger company than 6 years ago with better management, with better range of products, with a wider market, with more experience and also for you, a company which is keeping the promise. As you see, the financial performance has been remarkable. We had a revenue which grew 9% in the last 3 years. The EBITDA grew 11.7% and the net profit 13.1%. The EBITDA margin for '25 is 18.8%, which is a little lower than last year, but the organic growth is 19.5%. We have, unfortunately, the consolidation of Swan. Swan is a company with a great potential, but it's not that easy to get to the Sanlorenzo margin in a quick time. What is very important for us is the first consolidation is a company that has a net profit and is producing cash, which it never did in the last 20 years. The EBIT is 14.6%, and we have a net cash position. The last, but I think very important, we like to remark that the ROIC is more than 20%. And this is a very important number as you, as all of you know. We did EUR 164 million of dividend, and we will keep the same policy between 30% and 40% of the net profit for the next 3 years as well. The CapEx is around EUR 50 million, and we will keep that CapEx for the next 3-year plan as well. So we think we have a leadership in profitability. We have an asset-light business model. And I would say we will show you there is some strong barriers to the entry in our business, which is, again, a good important point. Quickly through what we did. The direct distribution has been boosted a lot with the new Sanlorenzo MED. Americas, Sanlorenzo Americas, we have a new office in Pier Sixty-Six, and we have new sales organization. We have a new dealer in Mexico and in Brazil. And [indiscernible] is now very consistent. We saw the numbers of our direct competitors and today, Sanlorenzo, thanks to the investment in Simpson Marine is in the first position in sales for Asia Pacific. Now considering the situation of Russia and Middle East, we really -- we think that we will enjoy our leadership in Asia Pacific. In the middle, you have the competence of the company has been increased, thanks to the acquisition of some of our suppliers. And then last but not least, we are pioneering the technology for the emission and for the sustainability. I just remember the tender for the America's Cup, which is 11 meter, with foil and hydrogen propulsion, more than 50 knots for 180 miles. It was a success for the American Magic and the French syndicate. The first 50 meter with a methanol reformer fuel cell, you see the equipment produced and supplied by Siemens. And I would consider now to Swan as the last point of a [indiscernible], which is closing the sustainable investment of the company. Swan is building sailboat, is the top brand in the world. And our goal for the future will be building Maxi going 16 knots with wind and when there is no wind to have a propulsion, which will not be a thermic engine, but a new sustainable power. That will be the ideal product for the next 5 to 10 years. The new model. This model has been launched in 2025. And I hope you already saw our numbers and you see that we have quite a strong order intake, approximately 25% more than the first quarter of '25. Consider that we had a very strong January and February. Probably some of you remember our meetings, we said -- Dusseldorf was very good, Miami was very good, but then the third month was almost stopped due to the Iran war. We have a strong order intake and the reason why is here. The new model has been a success, has been supporting very much our order intake. So nothing is coming from the sky. Everything comes back. When you do the right investment, you do a right design, you do innovation, you have the right team to do it, at the end, the result is coming back. This is, I think, the most important picture of the day because it's showing you that we are increasing the order intake consistently in the last 7 quarters. Now 7 quarters is not 1 or 2 or 3, we sell an 80-meter or 70-meter and we adjust the number. No, 7 quarters is from, as you see, H2 '24 through '25, which is not being nice here, as always know, until the first quarter of '26. One of our business model plus is this segment. Remember, I started when I was 23. I worked for more than 20 years in a very important company in the business. And I learned that the yachting, boating is not always very good in terms of profitability. So we like to show you this slide because the sweet spot in this business is between 30 and 40 meter. It's the segment of the business of the market, which is more profitable, less competition and Sanlorenzo is leading, as you can see. We are monobrand. So you see that 141 yachts are built under the same name, San Lorenzo. Meanwhile, our competitors, sometimes they use more brand, but still do not have more boat in construction than Sanlorenzo. This is very important. And this probably is one of the main reasons of our EBITDA margin, which is the highest EBITDA margin of the market. So we are a price leader here. We have a model which is changing the product every 10 or plus years. If you see -- let's compare with the car industry, which is easier for everybody, with a car like Renault, Peugeot, Ford, Fiat, they change the cars every 3, 4, 5 years because they need to make the evolution of the cars in order to have more orders in order to get the order intake. If you take, as an example, Mercedes or even more Bentley or Rolls-Royce, the changing of the product is every 20 years because the market is more solid, there is a leadership. Well, Sanlorenzo has an average of 10 years for each model, which is a sign of top brand positioning, the connoisseur of the club of customer of Sanlorenzo. This is one of our special business model point. Then, of course, the scarcity, the desirability and many other points that we already discussed together. Now let's -- I would like to go to this one, and then I come back. The new number. This is the last 6 years, the guidance for 2026 is expecting a 4% increase between EUR 980 million and EUR 1.020 billion. We have an EBITDA which goes from EUR 180 million to EUR 192 million with an average increase of 3%. The EBITDA margin is between 18.5% and 18.8%. Here, we have to consider the growing -- the slow growing of Swan. EBIT, EUR 140 million, EUR 147 million. The EBIT margin between 14.2% and 14.4%. The group net profit between EUR 108 million and EUR 114 million and the CapEx around 5.3% of the revenue. It is not a fantastic guidance, but you have to consider the geopolitical situation of today. And you have to consider mainly our prudent conservative approach. We like to maintain our promise. So in today's environment, these numbers, we consider very solid, very resilient, considering that we cannot sell both in Russia, we cannot sell both in the Middle East. In Dubai, people are leaving. Fortunately, they are using the boat in the MED, but they are leaving. And so they are not thinking to change the yacht in the months. So in this difficult environment, we think that the guidance for 2028 will be a growth of 6% or more. The EBITDA margin will be 19% or more and the EBIT margin will be 14.5% or more. And we keep 5% to 5.5% percentage of the CapEx. Please consider this a strong, resilient plan conservative because if things go better, we have the possibility to have quite an interesting upside. The day that there will be no war, there will be more business. Now it's 5 years of war between Ukraine and Russia. We have many, many customers calling us saying, as soon as the boat will finish, we will knock your door. Remember, we used to sell 3%, 4% of our revenue to Russia. And after 5 years, that means 15% and the people still have the money, they just need to be free to buy. The same is for the Middle East. Our Middle East market is 7%, 7.5%. So if that war will stop, we will add to the 3-year plan, 7.5% of market to be back. So the geopolitics stabilization will be a key point of the upside. [indiscernible], we are working for the acquisition of a new plant. We like to have the right plant to the right money. We are very conservative. We don't want to spend too much money if it's not needed. The moment we will have a new plant and there are some good alternatives existing, there will be a boost in our numbers that are not inside of the plant and the [indiscernible] geography. This is also an important point. As you remember, in the last quarter of '25, we had Brazil and Mexico, 2 big countries. We have Australia and Japan on the other side. And there are still -- we will see later, there are still good important market to cover. So we have still quite a nice space to grow. Now the program of the day are the pillar of the Sanlorenzo Group medium-term strategy. We will have Tommaso and Ivan and Attilio and Gianguido to talk and to explain to you. In the summary, we will speak about pioneering technology, innovation within tradition, operational excellence, distribution network, brand and owner-centric approach. We recall the best-in-class management team, but I already explained that to you. Thank you for your attention, and then I ask Ivan to come to the floor. Thank you very much.

Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. I'm Ivan Cutrufello, Head of IR, Finance and M&A, and it will be my pleasure to walk you through some of the main market trends that are underlying our sector, of course, with a specific lens of the Sanlorenzo reference market. Starting from this last point before seeing the broader market trends, we describe some of the key stats regarding what we call our Sanlorenzo customer club of connoisseur, so you see the market with the right lens. As you know, the customer club -- our customer club is one of the most valuable intangible assets. We've been building it through decades. And in the past 5 years, it's very interesting to notice that the frequency between repeat purchases from our loyal customers has improved going to 3.5 years compared to 5 years before 2020. Then when we go analyze what kind of purchase they do in this repeat process, we see that 75% of our repeat buyers, they upsize when they change the yacht, on average by 6 meters. Always remember that the relationship between length and value is not linear but its cubic. 57 meters is double than a 50 meter. So the 6 meters increase over time effectively translates into an average upselling in monetary value that is above 70% when we compare the price of the last purchase with the price of the previous purchase. We flag at the bottom of the slide, this double utilization time. And this is also key when we analyze the yacht in trends and specifically the Sanlorenzo ones. If our customers use the yacht on average 4 months a year rather than 2 months a year, they're more willing to invest in it, to spend more in it because they're dedicating a big chunk of their life onboard the yacht. Switching to the market. Now we see some of the main trends underlying the broader reference market, which is quite solid. And within this market, Sanlorenzo is an outperformer. One of these trends is wellness and longevity. The purchase driver behind the yacht in purchase from our clients is not just related to making most of their scarce free time, but it's also related to their wellness. It's quite proven that living by the sea on the yacht, the sea life has important benefits on the health of a human person. So for the lucky ones that can afford a yacht, for sure, that's a way to -- a great way to invest in your own well-being. When we look at the wellness economy overall, we see that the trend is accelerating. So there is more consciousness and more willingness to spend in wellness and longevity. Between 2019 and 2024, the wellness economy grew at 6%, around 6% average growth rate. And now the projection indicate a growth that is about 7%, so an acceleration. When we break down the clusters of the wellness economy, here, you have 11 clusters, we also see that the ones that are most adjacent to yachting, they are the ones that are experiencing the fastest growth, wellness real estate, for example, rather than wellness tourism. The reference market, our reference market between 30 and 75 meters, is expected to grow 5.7% according to Superior Times up to 2028, of which if we break it down into the components, the price and mix, so the average selling price effect is the main component of this growth. When we look at further underlying trends, certainly it's important to flag demographics. The billionaires, in general, the ultra-high net worth individuals, they are ever more and ever richer regardless of the phase of the economic cycle. We see this the correlation between our customer base and the economic cycle. If you look at the top cluster, the top cohort of wealth, we see that both the self-made ones and the ones that inherit the wealth, we see that in 2025 in both the segments, we had the fastest wealth creation since -- in one case, since 2021, in the other case since many more years. In the case of inheritance, we see plus 36% year-on-year, which is a very strong percentage, and this is just the beginning according to demographic trends because on the right-hand side of the slide, we see there are about USD 6 trillion ready to be transferred in wealth for the next 15 years. When we consider that the wealthy rich in the world they have on average 3.5 children, this is both a multiplication effect of the target addressable market and also a big wave of new money ready to be spent according to the other trends. Last but not least, we flag the development of Marina projects, which are particularly significant for the development of ecosystem in emerging markets, for example, in APAC, where we have great opportunities also thanks to the Simpson Marine acquisition. On the supply side, we see a clear dominance of Italy as a proper broader ecosystem. The market share of Italian builders constantly increases -- has been constantly increasing for the past 8 years. And here, we see a progression that goes from around 45% in 2018 to more than half of the global production as of today. This is a clear sign that yachting needs a precise ecosystem and Italy is the country best positioned to compete because of its craftsmanship availability, because of the industrial efficiency of a big manufacturing country, because of design and lifestyle embedded in our culture. When we look into the Italian players, we see that there are 3 top players. There are 3 champions. If we get the top 3, of course, Sanlorenzo is one of those 3, we see a constant increase both in top line and in marginality. So it's a healthy growth. The ability to reinvest those margins, those profits into the business is creating a gap between the top players that can afford the scale and the capital and to put the capital at work with the smaller players that are more fragmented at the bottom of the industry. Within the 3 top players, as Mr. Perotti was outlining, Sanlorenzo is the one best positioned in the sweet spot of the market, where we combine on one side, the highest profitability because of the semi-custom business model, because of the repetition in models. On the other side, a low correlation to the economic cycle because in this sweet spot, our clientele is so rich already that the correlation and the cyclicality fades away. Two more things to flag. The exposure overall of the Sanlorenzo Group in that cohort below 24 meters is quite limited, about 10% of the revenues. That's the most cyclical part, but that's why we use the limited amount in order to catch the customer earlier, so as in the customer acquisition tool. On the other side, we don't have exposure above 2,000 GT. So we limit the execution risk in building those mega projects where usually marginality is not as under control as in our reference market. I conclude here just to comment one of the upsides just presented by Mr. Perotti, the [indiscernible]. The [indiscernible] is particularly interesting because it evolves naturally with the growth of the installed base, so of the global fleet, which each year keeps increasing. And then when we go breakdown by the age of this fleet, we see there are about 4,000 yachts, about 30 meters in the world, about 70% of the global fleet that is older than 10 years. So there is a clear opportunity to enter a business that is anticyclical, has an attractive marginality and it well complements our business model that is more and more customer-centric also in the aftersales. I leave back the floor to Mr. Perotti. Thank you for your attention.

This is the hub for [indiscernible]. And as you know, the [indiscernible] people are not very well organized. And so sorry. But sooner or later, they will. But it's okay. It's okay because this is not a problem. Sorry. Just a simple point. Italy is building 52% of the yachts in the world, but there are very small business in refit because the problem is [Foreign Language]. The point is that we build a new boat and then the customer, 10 years, 4,000 people, 10 years old boats goes to -- sorry, to Spain, in Barcelona, to France, in Marseille to do the refit because a problem was faced in Italy. So we are working very hard in order to get a new plant to do the refit. The refit is also very nice because in one way, it's anti-cycle and you do not have to invest money. After you do the investment with the beginning with a new plant, then you don't have to do more investment for the future. So it is a very important growing point for the company and is not included in the plan -- in the 3 years plan. Now we will speak about pioneering technology and yacht development. And then Tommaso will explain you about the operational excellence and distribution network and Renato, the brand and owner-centric approach. Let's go quickly. The first page is design and innovation lab. I sincerely think that our main reason of success over the last 6 years has been innovation and design. We have now 3 important brands, which is Sanlorenzo, Bluegame and Swan. And for one reason or the other, these 3 brands have been working alone. I mean, the team of designer, the team of technical people, the research and development has not been really in connection with the other company. So the idea is to build a design and innovation lab in order to have a team of people with the leadership on all the 3 brands and changing ideas and having one organization concentrated with the relationship with outsider designer, the new innovation will be moved from one brand to the other. So we think this will be one of the future important ideas to develop our business. Research and development will concentrate on sustainable propulsion. You know that we've been the first company to build a 50-meter with fuel cell. We have a bi-fuel engine, yachts is a 50-meter. We have been designing the boat, and we have the engine from the MAN builder, which is working not only burning fuel but methanol. The problem here will be to see the future of logistics and distribution of methanol. Therefore, the technology is there. We are pioneering the technology, but we must wait to see the development of the distribution. And then there is many other points, innovative materials, the alternative to [indiscernible], eco-composite. We have digital system integration. Of course, the AI new word is coming to yachting as well. It is something to explore deeply, and we will do it. There are also new work for research and development in the process of innovation, automatization, robotics, patent, data managers and governance. This is a nice picture. You see the SHE, the Sanlorenzo Heritage. It is a clear example of innovation where we are leader. This boat has been designed as a heritage approach, taking the design of the 50s and the 60s. But inside, we have the most sophisticated technology from the IPS Volvo hybrid engine. In short, in the cars, you have the hybrid car, you accelerate and you use either electricity or thermic engine. This boat will be the same. We go up to 1,200 RPM electrically. Then when we push for more speed and longer distance, the electric engine will stop and the thermic engine will start automatically from the Volvo system. When you arrive to an island and you want to reduce the speed, you drop the anchor, you go back to less than 1,200 RPM and the thermic engine stop and the electrical engine start. So it is a really high technology approach, and that will be the most sophisticated system in the ship. Sanlorenzo Heritage will be launched in June and will be introduced in the cargo show. That system is pioneering the Volvo IPS hybrid solution and will be use in the next technical platform for the SX76, 88 and 100, which will be an extension up to the 2028. This is a picture showing you a bit more what I already told you, the bi-fuel engine that we will apply to our production. The bi-fuel engine means that 70%, 80% of the consumption will be with methanol and not fuel. But still, you can work, you can produce energy by using the fuel. So if you don't have the availability of methanol, you can still have the fuel. We are in a pull position in this project as well. And here, you can see the design of the methanol package, which has a patent. We registered a patent in order to enjoy this technological advantage in respect of the competitors. Yacht development. As I said, the design innovation has been the real point where we built our leadership. The development of the new boat is very important. And here, we have the new model mix, which is upscaling in size and in innovation context. You see here, we talk about flagship of the SD line, the 132. And then we have a flagship on the Bluegame line, which is the BGX83. And then we have another flagship, which is the Maxi's 128. What that means? [indiscernible] of 3 different line of products are launched in 2025, 2026. So our new model is upscaling in innovation, but mainly in size. So that is giving us the possibility to grow the revenue without changing too much the number of boat produced. Remember, scarcity is our goal, is our logic, is our business model. Robust pipeline to introduce the market in 2026, confirming what I just said. In 2026, we have a new SL80, a new S636, a new Explorer, which is more than 60 meters, 1,150 gross tonnage, the new SD98. In the Bluegame, we just introduced the BGX83, which is the flagship of the line. And then we will have a new BG64 model for the [indiscernible]. In Swan, we will have the last German Frers design, which is 173, which will be in the market for 2027. We will launch and present, introduce in the market this 180, still German Frers. And it is under design and development, a total new line, which is they call it bluewater and the name will be Swanscape. This is a kind of escape boat to go around the world with more comfort. This one is designed by Vrolijk, which is one of the best designer of today. Again, it's showing the kind of effort in new models with innovation and design the company is doing. And here, I think is a page that is showing you our strategy. When we bought the company in 2024, there was only the Sanlorenzo, the SL line, the flybridge planning hub. You see that in 20 years, we have been entering Sanlorenzo in many more -- many different segments of the market with the monobrand approach. When we started the Bluegame in 2018, it was a very small company and was just the BG line. And you see that for Bluegame, we did exactly the same, BGX, BGM, BGF and so the company grow to EUR 90-plus million revenue. The same concept we are going to do with the Nautor Swan. With Nautor Swan, we bought the company with the ClubSwan line, the Classic Cruiser and the Maxi, built all in Finland. There was a motor line called Shadow, but was very little, and we are going to expand a lot the motor Swan range of product. And then there will be 2 new -- completely new model, which is the aluminum Maxi above 44 meter, which will be building the [ Viareggio ], bringing back the Maxi production in Viareggio. And then, as I say, the bluewater, which is Swanscape line, which is just to explain again the idea with the automotive, which is easier for everybody. The Porsche car industry is building 300,000 cars. 150,000 cars are [ super ]. If you look Porsche 20 years ago, was the 911 Classic Porsche style. So the [ super ] new line has been now taking 50% of the business. So the idea of the Bluewater line is not a fresh deck boat, but it's a boat with a superstructure, which is protecting much more and more comfort to the customers. So that means that with this one brand, we will take a new line of -- a new segment of the market and expand the business. This is the project of growing our product from 2022 to 2025. The last 3 years, we increased from 26 to 35 model and the expectation for '28 would be to increase to 39 model. This is Sanlorenzo and Bluegame together. You remember, we explained you about our 10 years average time for changing. This is quite important for the business model of Sanlorenzo. Why? Because if you spend millions of euros to buy a boat and you know that after 2 years, you have a new boat, you will lose a lot of value, you will lose your the value of your asset, which is something that is not really nice for the customer. You remember, Sanlorenzo has a club of connoisseur, 1,000 people; Swan is a club of connoisseur 2,300 people, smaller boat, there are more, but still very small number in respect of the bigger competitors. And the fact that our range stays in the market longer means that the secondhand market has more value, means that our customer knows that buying Sanlorenzo, they don't lose the value of the asset. So it's a key point in the value of the brand. Now you remember, we said we enjoy very much with Sanlorenzo, the increasing of product covering different segments. We did it with Bluegame. So this is exactly the example of what we are going to do with Swan. We bought a company with 3 line of products and the service business, which is a global service, which is covering 18% of the revenue. And then we will add the Swan alloy, aluminum boat above 44 meter, the Swanscape, which is the Bluewater sale line. This is the new one in the project. And then we will boost [indiscernible]. When we tell you that the 3-year plan '26, '28 has been conservative, very careful in the numbers because of the geopolitical situation. We consider a growth of Swan less than what we could. So one of the upside, and I would say that if we do the upside is thanks to Gianguido, which is here, I think that Swan can really produce much more than what we have been forecasted in the plan. Why? Well, because the situation of the market is such that we have to be conservative, we have to be prudent, but the 3 new line of product can double the revenue of the company. It will be in 3 years, it will be in 5 years. Today, it's difficult to consider that. So that reason we have been very conservative. This is an example of the new Swan Alloy, 40-meter plus designed by Malcolm McKeon. The interior is Christian Liaigre’s, 2 top designer in the world. The boat is magnificent. Consider that in this field, there are only 2 competitors today. It's Royal Huisman and [indiscernible], which are 2 Dutch very strong quality competitors. They sell their boat with more than EUR 120,000 for tonnage. The idea to use a North European brand, which is the top line like [indiscernible] with our design built in the famous [indiscernible] at the Italian [indiscernible], having only 2 Dutch competitors, believe me, will help a lot to increase the EBITDA margin of Swan. So it is a key element of the growth of the business of Swan. This is just a little sketch. We cannot disclose today too much. We will introduce the new model in the market soon. This is a typical superstructure of the Bluewater line for the Swanscape, which as you see, is protecting the owner and the guest much more than the flat deck. This is the same as Sanlorenzo and Bluegame. We have the increase of the model. We will project between the 2026 and 2028. Now I'd like to call to the place, Gianguido Girotti. We have been speaking together for 8 years. So it was a long plan to get you. But as you know, I never stop my ideas until I don't get the results. And I'd like to pass the floor to Gianguido.

Thank you very much. Indeed, we are a long business of story, let's put it this way, since we knew each other since quite some time, but I'm a good guy. Let's be clear. I've been doing this for all my life, as Mass said at the very beginning, and I think it's part of the core values of the incredible organization that I found entering for the first few hours and days into Sanlorenzo still as a guest because I will start to serve as CEO of Swan and Bluegame from mid of June. I will spend just 2 minutes because there are so many and much more information, more important information than myself. But who am I? As said, I come from a sailing passion business family, let's say, not business, but family passion [indiscernible]. And then I decided to transform this passion into a discipline when I started Naval Engineering and then in Southampton, and then I ended up doing a master in fluid dynamics that luckily allowed me to enter at the time at the pinnacle of the yacht design in 2000 at German First. So the former or actual designer of Nautor Swan. I had the incredible opportunity to master what we call the best of what is yacht design. So technology, blending it to the most and most beautiful boats in the world because I've been doing not just the Americas Cup, but the [indiscernible] that were designed by the first office at the time as well as the Swan. After 4.5 years, my curiosity, I mean, you will know me in the years, drove me to really stress myself and understand what's the business side of it. So after mastering, let's say, the technological and the design side, which is the key and the powertrain of the business, I started working at Grand Soleil and then Dufour, where I served a different position and understanding more of the distribution strategy as well as industrial and production one. From there, in 2015, someone, who is here today, took me into Beneteau.

Carla. Carla Demaria. So she took me into Benetea. I started serving with her the product strategy of Benetea. We turned around the brand. Then she left, as you know, because she has an incredible history here. And they served after her, a bit like taking over today, the Benetea brand first. And then I took the role of Deputy CEO of the Group Benetea at the time, relaunching what was then named the plan of the House of Brands, so restructuring all the branding side, reputting some orders and discipline. Today, my mission is very clear. I mean I'm honored because we've been speaking quite a lot about all this. The 2 incredible brands that I will look after, Swan, it's the reference of highest quality sailing and performance sailing in the world; and Bluegame, which is more of a bold brand that started just a few years ago, but managed to create a strong brand name into the business. So I have this incredible responsibility to hold and to structure these 2 brands over the time, bringing some of the discipline that I learned even in the past, but mostly to benefit of this incredible Sanlorenzo discipline of overall performance and agility to serve customers, quality to the highest standard. So I'm really thrilled to start from the 15th of June, and I thank you again for these 2 minutes to present myself. Thank you very much.

Good evening. I am proud to step on the next strategic priority, which is the operational excellence where I build my career in the last 18 years here in Sanlorenzo. Our path towards operational excellence will start with 2 strategic projects. The first is technology and infrastructure. We aim to establish a new cross-functional entity that will oversee our infrastructure and to develop continuous optimization. It will ensure harmonization of the infrastructure in terms of aesthetics, that means the brand identity, technological support to better improve the efficiency and the flexibility that allows us to move along the different plans, our range of products and brands. It will ensure as well technological solution like software implementation to let our operational team be focused on what they do best in terms of artisanal and complex customization process. Looking beyond the second special project we target is what we call in Italian Progetto Orizzonte Uomo, Human Horizon Project, is a strategic project for us that place people at the center of the value creation model. The aim is to create an environment where our employees are centered. We would like to achieve that kind of environment, developing internal protocols to increase our safety and well-being, introducing best practices to enhance operational performance and strengthening the sense of belonging. Because for us, every Sanlorenzo is the result of the hands, of the experience and the culture of our people. This is an example of technology implementation. It's space is a 3D design process interface that allow you to ensure time and cost reduction in dealing with unforeseen client modification requests. Even Sanlorenzo is for sure a trusted business, we think that it is time to welcome AI in our company. We would like to hire a dedicated manager that will be focused on training and developing internal awarenesses, technical feasibility studies and AI first adoption to get quick wins. On top of what we have just seen, these are the main investment in production capacity that are already planned. Our operational excellence is built on footprint optimization, and it is targeted on capacity addition in already owned land property. In Ameglia, the new M shed of about 4,000 square meters will be added to the actual production capacity. In Arbatax, we would like to strengthen our composite plant with other 3,000 additional square meters for a total of 15,000. And in the Northern Italy, near Brescia, we plan to build a new plant in already owned land property that was purchased for this purpose a few years ago, in which we will build 11,000 square meter plant that will be dedicated to serve Nautor Swan and Bluegame business. Our CapEx execution will be in line with our business plan. In -- at the end of 2025, our production capacity exceeds 140,000 square meters compared to the 100,000 square meters in 2022 which in this moment, we are using plus or minus 78%. With the EUR 100 million cumulative CapEx we plan to develop in the 3 years plan, we would like to increase our production capacity plus 15%. And with the project we discussed so far to improve our efficiency, we will rise up the percentage of utilization up to 80%. On top of that, we have -- we still have 10% of capacity that we can gain with the new plant in Brescia for Bluegame and so on. Next is distribution. It's a key pillar for us. In fact, Sanlorenzo has a unique competitive advantage, having built a global direct sales distribution in the 3 main markets that no one has and that allow us to be a leader not only in made-to-measure, but also in made-to-service being direct on the market. We aim to catch more opportunities around the world to be able to better balance the market trend. In this way, we are sure to fulfill the order intake that is targeted in accordance with the scarcity model. In the picture, you can see in green, the countries we think we would like to -- where we see opportunities for Sanlorenzo in this moment. In brown, you see what we have recently established with local presence. As I said, our direct sales distribution is already present in Europe with Sanlorenzo MED that is based in Monaco, South of France and [indiscernible] Thailand. We are still in the ramp-up phase for Sanlorenzo MED. Even last year, they did a significant result for the group. We think we see opportunities in the Scandinavian areas, so in the Northern Europe as well as in the in the Baltic Republic and in [indiscernible]. We would like to be stronger in Middle East, especially in Saudi and in Jordan. And we think that in Africa, we can focus some of the countries where we can expand our business. Looking far over the ocean, Americas are led by our direct company that is [indiscernible], Sanlorenzo of the Americas. As Massimo said, we are based in Fort Lauderdale. We just had the inauguration of the new showroom in Pier Sixty-Six, which is an iconic place for the yachting in U.S. And we have just renovated the sales organization. We just hired 2 top sales manager. They will take care of Sanlorenzo Bluegame and Nautor Swan. We recently established a local presence in Brazil and in Mexico with exclusive brand representative. On the U.S. soil, we target the West Coast and the Great Lakes area. And we don't have to forget that U.S. was for decades, the top market for Swan business. We also -- we are interested as well to develop in South America, Argentina, Venezuela and Colombia and of course, Canada in the Northern America. On the other side of the world, we are present -- we are direct with our organization, Simpson Marine. Simpson Marine has just completed its consolidation, developing Australia and Japan. And in the next future, we would like to target New Zealand, South Korea and India. I would like to conclude talking about the super yacht sales development strategy where we see significant room for price increase to support our margin expansion. Till today, the super yacht business, let me say, the sales activity on super yacht were driven mainly by our headquarters. We would like to benefit of the commercial development we have seen so far to be more present all over the world and to use the central role of our direct distribution hubs where we plan to appoint dedicated highly trained specialists that can support the prospect management in the early stage of negotiation. Super yacht is a business where you have to be skilled and prepared. So we need to help the direct hubs to be in the business, in the Super yacht business with the top specialization. I thank you for your attention. And I leave the floor to Renato Bisignani, which is our CMO.

Good evening, everybody. For the next 10 minutes or so in this section, I will frame the role of brand within our broader strategic priorities and our continued approach to enhance our customer experience. At Sanlorenzo, we increasingly see brand as a strategic layer that connects product, client experience and long-term value creation. And it is through this lens that I will walk you through the next few slides. At the highest end of the market where we operate, differentiation is certainly driven by product offering and scale, but it is also, I believe, first and foremost, driven by brand perception, relevance and the quality of the relationship clients build with the brand over time. Our growth model is built on a deliberate balance between portfolio expansion and controlled scarcity. On one side, we are expanding the product offering, addressing multiple segments and usage profiles across the range. But critically, we are not pursuing volume expansion as a primary goal. Instead, we are strengthening brand pull, increasing the number of clients who want to enter the brand without proportionally increasing supply. This is enabled already through the strong foundations that our brand possesses and our continued focus on building its [indiscernible] to support our pull model. And the implications of brand on our business strategy are very much aligned as they enable us to maintain tight control over availability, support pricing discipline, which also protects resale value, sustain margin quality over time and ultimately increase customer lifetime value. At the same time, network expansion and direct distribution allow us to increase penetration without fragmenting the brand experience. So growth is enabled not by scale alone, but by controlled access to an increasingly desirable brand. To consolidate this model effectively, we worked on a clear and ownable point of view centered around the idea of tomorrow's timeless. Tomorrow's timeless is not a tagline. It is the very articulation of how we operate as a brand and also the name we chose for our 3-year business plan. It captures a very potent duality, timelessness, which underpins long-term value and design integrity and a forward-looking pioneering mindset, which drives innovation and relevance. Why is this important commercially? Because strong brands reduce volatility and maintain desirability across market cycles and relevance over time is what sustains pricing power. A brand that is only contemporary risks becoming obsolete, a brand that is only heritage risks becoming irrelevant. Our positioning allows us to operate in both dimensions. And in a category which is often driven by product features, this gives us a structural advantage. Of course, we are selling amazing products, but we are not just selling yachts. We are building a cultural and aesthetic reference point. This already enables our brand to transcend beyond the yachting category and generate the fame-like status of a brand that customers would want and love to own. At the core of this model and one of our most important assets is our client base. You've heard about our Customer Club of Connoisseurs, which we refer to. This is not simply a customer list. It is a curated community of highly engaged, highly valuable individuals with a very strong appreciation for design, craftsmanship and innovation. What really matters from a commercial standpoint and from your point of view, are 2 things. First, loyalty and repeat purchase, which remains structurally high, as you've heard from Ivan before. Second, predictability of demand, which reduces volatility in the business. This is a strategic asset. It allows us to grow in a measured and resilient way even across cycles because demand is not only driven by the many new clients that we are able to attract, but by existing clients evolving within the brand. This is something we actively cultivate through experiences, engagement and long-term relationships. Our marketing efforts are concentrated on creating one-to-one platforms for relationship enforcement and upsell pathways while also following wealth patterns to allow us to capture new-to-brand customers. So ultimately, this approach is what allows us to grow in a measured and predictable way. Now translating this into execution. This is where our owner-centric infrastructure comes into play. We are building a fully integrated ecosystem across sales, service, marketing, events and data insights. At its core is a very simple principle, one global view of every client and every yacht. This allows us to have seamless customer journeys, a consistent brand experience globally and real-time data visibility across the life cycle. This is really where brand and technology converge and allow us to deliver a high-touch experience, which is expected in our segment with the precision and scalability of a high-tech platform. From a business standpoint, this is about increasing lifetime value per client, not just initial transaction value. And importantly, it connects our headquarters and brand representatives across our markets into a single system, which is critical for both governance and scalability. Moreover, our owner-centric approach is executed through a set of highly curated experiential platforms that directly enhance desirability and brand saliency, most importantly. These are not isolated initiatives, but coordinated sets of levers. The Connoisseurs [indiscernible], for example, redefines the purchase journey into a bespoke and immersive experience within our shipyards. Our proprietary and affinity events participation allow us to engage with ultra-high net worth individuals in environments that are relevant to their lifestyle and their interests. Through arts and culture, particularly Casa Sanlorenzo, this marvelous space, we extend the brand into a broader cultural space, increasing its relevance beyond yachting. And through the evolution of our showrooms in our markets, we ensure the consistency of the brand experience and the proximity in each of these markets. Ultimately, these levers allow us to engage clients in a variety of meaningful ways and expand into adjacent cultural territories by largening our addressable audience and reaching new generations of wealth. This approach overall is a strategic driver of demand generation while also targeting the right quality of demand. Finally, beyond the product and brand, a further frontier of differentiation will increasingly be defined by the quality of the ownership experience and the long-term relationship we build with our clients. This is why we see high-end services, not as a support function, but as a strategic commercial lever. This is where our product made-to-measure approach converges with our made-to-measure client service approach. What you see here are 4 of the key capabilities we are progressively implementing: remote monitoring, predictive maintenance, AI, virtual assistance and importantly, a structured integration of customer care with marketing and CRM to give us a single and unified perspective of our customers and their journeys with us. So to conclude, if I summarize, our approach is very clear. We are scaling desirability and experience. Together with our other core strategic priorities, our focus on brand elevation and customer experience is how we intend to continue delivering disciplined growth over time. Thank you for your attention. I now invite Attilio, our CFO.

Thank you, Renato, and welcome to everyone. Now considering the tomorrow's timeless action plan that were shared today with a holistic approach across all processes and people and considering the high-end positioning of the brands and ultimately, the Sanlorenzo unique business model with robust Q1 2026 result, Sanlorenzo present today a solid guidance 2026, continuing to take a measured approach and constantly monitoring the geopolitical scenario and the global context that we have, especially in this period. In particular, the net revenue in yacht grow 4% at midpoint of the range EUR 980 million, EUR 1,020 million. EBITDA in the range EUR 180 million, EUR 192 million and EBIT margin between 18.4%, 18.8%. EBIT in the range EUR 140 million, EUR 147 million and EBIT margin between 14.2% and 14.4%. And then CapEx 2026 in the range of EUR 50 million, EUR 55 million and then around 5.2% on net revenue. Consider that the guidance 2026 is covered 72% in terms of net revenue new yachts expected for the year, thanks to the remarkable backlog we have. Therefore, guidance provides the solidity of the business model, which allow to continue profitable growth even in a complex geopolitical environment as we have in this period. About the outlook 2028, the group has a clear path of growth. In this case, for the top line is expected impactful and sustainable growth equal or above 6% CAGR based on the scarcity philosophy and the exclusivity of the brands as we have seen today. We remain a strong focus on the profitability for the group with EBITDA margin equal or greater than 19% by 2028 and EBIT margin equal or above 14.5%, then CapEx with a composition of 5% to 5.5% of net revenue new yacht and about 90% dedicated to develop the group in terms of new industrial capacity and new product and services. It is important to underline that the figures do not consider upsides, of which the main ones are you can see the stabilization of the geopolitical issue where remember, there are very relevant market that could restart in the next years. The refit to expand high-end services in an anti-cyclical business and full potential of distribution in new untapped geography. About revenues, the deployment, you can see that we have a good evolution in the 3 years business plan, improving the balancing impact in terms of geography. Americas and APAC are expected to grow faster than the other region, especially the composition is expected for America 20% and for APAC above 10%. Europe remains the main market, but with a share below 60% and EMEA below 10%, also considering the recent event. In terms of division, Nautor Swan is expected to grow more than other division with a composition of above 10%. Then the yacht and super yacht division are flat approx 50% and 30% and Bluegame remain below 10%. So with this kind of evolution in terms of breakdown by geography and divisions, at the end of the plan, we can have a better balancing, preserving the overall mix of the group with a benefit for the business. About the Nautor Swan division, we can have a further upside in the subsequent 3 years business plan after 2028, as mentioned before by the President. In terms of capital allocation, the group maintained a disciplined capital allocation. The priorities remain the business development and the shareholder remuneration. In particularly, the capital is allocated to new industrial capacity and product development where it is expected to dedicate around 5% of revenues, then working capital to support the penetration into new geographies and to support the direct distribution in the 3 main sites, dedicating a ceiling of about 12% on net revenue. And then we maintain a strong balance sheet to [indiscernible] such as refit, as we have seen before and then also other opportunities on the market. The shareholder remuneration show a dividend policy in the range of 30%, 40% payout and share buyback with an approved plan up to 10% of the share capital. So to summarize, we consider the net ROIC, that is a very important KPI, as mentioned before by the President, above 20% also for the future for the business plan. And this is strongly above the average indicator of the sector and also in line with the best practice of the market overall. Then the Sanlorenzo Tomorrow's Timeless business plan is supported by a Q1 2026 with solid performances considering the Sanlorenzo absolute luxury positioning. And in particularly analyzing the indicators, net revenue yachts grew 4% year-on-year at EUR 222.1 million, driven by the performance of Super Yacht and Nautor Swan divisions and the good results of the Americas region. EBITDA reached the amount of EUR 38.5 million, plus 4% year-on-year with a margin of 17.3% on net revenue yachts and then EBIT at EUR 27.9 million at 12.6% on net revenue new yachts, consistent with the previous year. And group net profit, important because grew up 5.1% year-on-year with a remarkable total amount of EUR 22.2 million and with a double-digit margin of 10.1% net revenue in yachts. Organic investment for EUR 8.7 million, mainly related to new product development with an incidence at 3.9% on net revenue in yachts. And then the net financial position at EUR 22.9 million net cash end of March 2026 with EUR 51 million cash generation in the period from March 2025 and more than EUR 80 million if we consider dividend paid in the period. The gross backlog reached the level of above EUR 1.2 billion and benefit of a robust Q1 2026 order collection of EUR 223 million, plus 25.4% year-on-year, also considering the not favorable seasonality in Q1. Net backlog end of March 2026 is more than EUR 1 billion with a remarkable book-to-bill of 1x. And this gives to the group a long visibility on the future result, considering the composition of EUR 725 million for 2026, covering around 72% of net revenue new yachts for as a midpoint of guidance 2026 and EUR 501 million for 2027 and beyond. Furthermore, is very consistent in this backlog and high quality in consideration that it is sold 90% to final customer. The percentage increased in the last 3 months, you remember in December was 88%. This is thanks to the Sanlorenzo unique business model. Then after the good evolution of sales in the last month, we reached consecutive quarter of growth after Q1 2026 with EUR 223 million new orders as remembered before by the President. And especially, we can see an acceleration in Q1 2026 compared with the first quarter of the previous year 2025 and 2024. And the book-to-bill remained very high at 1x. Therefore, this we can consider is a new trend for the evolution of the business, showing again the strength of Sanlorenzo Group in our market. So that's all for the financial results, and I leave the floor to the President to continue.

We have the most brilliant CFO in the industry. Two more minutes. Sorry, it was long, but there was a lot of things to say. It's only one page. Don't worry. He is just the summary of what we said, just go through it very quickly. Strong brand equity, owner-centric approach, the high super rich owner base, the connoisseurs, unique global direct distribution, leadership in the sweet spot, 30 to 50 meter, high-quality backlog, 90% sold to final client, best-in-class profitability. We had something that we care a lot, how Sanlorenzo has been outperforming against luxury since the IPO. The average of this luxury company are the best. And you see that from 2019 December, our IPO, we have been always better. I think it is not wrong to say that Sanlorenzo is better than luxury. I'd like to give you just an example, talking about wellness, longevity, we have been showing you slides, but I want to tell you an experience I had a few weeks ago. We have a customer which is taking delivery of a 50-meter and he is my age, 65, has been working very hard in life. And he told me, Max, I do this summer holiday, but then I want to buy a 75-meter say. Why? Say, I have a dream, stop working in my office, and I want to move myself on the big yachts. I want one floor, one deck only dedicated to my family. So large, beautiful cabin, toilet, walking wardrobe, jacuzzi outside, but then half of the deck, I want to dedicate to the office. So my desk, big screen, a table for 8 people meeting because they really want to run the company from the boat. I want with the 75 meter. I want to go to the Caribbean, I want to go to the Philippines, Thailand, around the world. I don't know if he will do it. He has a dream, and we are selling dream. But for sure, I've been working very hard in my life. And you know that cortisol is killing people, and I had a lot of cortisol in my blood. So if a guy thinks to move working on the yachts, going around the world with the family, with the friends, I think that is a good way of showing wellness and longevity. So it's a fact. It's not just a slide. Thus, you have been admiring Casa Sanlorenzo. I just want to remember you that Casa Sanlorenzo has been an investment of my holding company. The family Perotti is not the Casa Sanlorenzo. Thank you to all of you. Thank you for your attention. It's finished. We have a drink now?

Three quick questions, very, very -- just to start. The first one is about something that doesn't exist yet. And you mentioned before the refit business. And if you have understood, they require in brackets, only upfront investment. So you find a location, you buy a [indiscernible] and then it's just personnel and raw material cost. So what kind of margin do you think you can achieve if this business will start to operate?

Unknown Executive

Executives
#15

It's a good business because there is not a lot of space to develop the business. And as you see, there is a very large demand, 4,000 yacht, super yacht above 30 meter, over 10 years is a huge market. So the EBITDA margin on refit is approximately around 20%. It can be even higher than lower. And I have to say our customer is asking to do the refit in Sanlorenzo because we have a very personal relationship with our customer, the captain, the crew, they build the boat, they go around the world. If they want to do an important refit, they love the idea to go back to the shipyard. First of all, because we know the yacht, we design it, we build it. And second, because there is a personal relationship. So this is a business that we really count a lot. We are now really committed to do it. Remember, there was something I promised in years, but then we had COVID and then we have the war in Ukraine and then we dedicate ourselves to the core business in order to perform the guidance. But now I think that the 3-year plan will be an important upside. We did not put the numbers in the plan because until we don't have the place to work, it is not correct to do it.

But the other 2 questions are related to the brands. You stress your colleagues in charge of the brand stress. And I would like to ask a question from 2 different angles. The first one, you told me, but told me as well as the other financial community, not to me special, that Sanlorenzo will never produce a huge number of boats to preserve the exclusivity, et cetera, et cetera. So the first question is, is there a magic number that is a threshold or is a percentage of the existing fleet navigating in the world or whatever? So if this number exists or not? I can put the second question. The other one is making a car example, until now, Sanlorenzo has worked as new Mercedes model, old Mercedes model is better, but I can buy the old one because -- but now we are in a moment of such a fast technological change, your colleague mentioned IT, et cetera, all the stuff that will come into it. Don't you think that this element will become essential for the new owners? And so the value for the first time, the value of the old ones will be perceived completely differently that has been perceived right now, until now because it's a -- suddenly becomes a no boat no longer with the same perception of value that has maintained right now?

This is very much the problem of the automotive. I start from the second and go to the first. Well, we think that when you buy a yacht, you spend a lot of money and you leave on boat, you have your family, you go around the world. And so the innovation design, the name, the service. If you take a boat, you go to the [indiscernible], you have a problem on the boat in the [indiscernible], you have S of America, which is based in Fort Lauder to take care. When I even show you the 3 major builder in the world, which are Italians, they all -- if you put all together, they all grow in volume and marginality. That means that there is a logic to buy a boat from this company because they can service the boats around the world. There is enough money there to do the research and development. The best managers are in the company. So we think that the problem of the automotive, which probably in the future, not so far, you will rent the car or buy a car regardless to the brand. I think that this problem will probably be in yachting in 30 years, 40 years, which is the reason why we do not have Chinese building yachts, fortunately. But why Italy is 52%? I mean, Italy today is like Germany of 10 years ago in cars. BMW, Mercedes, Audi, 3 big builders, the top builders in the world in Germany because there was certain reasons. Some special reasons are in Italy to have the 3 larger shipyard leading the market.

One is Chinese property.

No, please. There is no one Chinese working in the company. The fact that the control is Chinese doesn't mean that the company is not Italian. I would say, fortunately, it is real Italian. There is no one shipyard out of Italy in that group. So I think that -- why? Because there is a reason. I mean because Italians in this business, the manufacturing, the design, the flexibility, working Saturday and Sunday, Christmas and Easter is a plus and customer knows that. Going to the other, which is very important, we are not meaning that scarcity altogether, we cannot build more than 100 or 120. The point is that in the 3 brands, we build 70 Sanlorenzo, 25 Swan and 30 Bluegame. They are not in competition. So in one way, they are monobrand, each of them with a kind of scarcity. If you take the competition on the Bluegame, they normally build 200, 300 boats. If you take a competition, we have a man here that has been working with beneteau, how many sale beneteau, you used to build 1,000, more than 1,000. We are building 25 Swan. That means a niche market, premium price, only cream of the cream customer is the same logic of Sanlorenzo 10 years ago. So if we sell scarcity, we build only 70 Sanlorenzo. It is very good if you have a downturn, a change of cycle, you have to sell 70 Sanlorenzo above 24 meter with a ticket of EUR 30 million is better than building 200 or 300 boats below 24 meter, it's another world. So our scarcity concept doesn't mean that we cannot buy another company building 30 or 40 boats not in competition with the existing, which is a key point in my opinion.

A couple of questions. You showed a slide before where basically the mix of revenues by type 2025, 2028 is not going to change much. So 2 questions from this slide. The first one is why are you projecting such a slow profitability improvement over time? And also in 2026, it seems that margins are not expected to expand. And second question on Swan, does that slide means that you are kind of downsizing or rightsizing your ambitions on Swan?

Unknown Executive

#21

No. The ambition on Swan is very strong. As I said before, if the geopolitical was not such it is today, we could expect doubling the volume. Why? Because mainly the alloy Maxi Swan division itself can produce EUR 50 million. Consider that the 44 meter has a price in the market of EUR 40 million. So building 1.5 million or 1.2 boats per year is EUR 50 million, EUR 60 million. With one, we do EUR 100 million today because the service is around EUR 20 million. So if only with one new line of product where we have only 2 Dutch very high-priced competitors, you can make 50%, 60% more. You can imagine that the idea to double the volume is something absolutely affordable is absolutely a goal that we can reach. The problem on not building this number in the plan is just a matter of being conservative because really, we have a word today with a leader, which is doing something in Venezuela and in Iran and is already expecting to do something in Cuba. If after 2 months, somebody with a different eyes design and a more yellow scheme will decide to do something in Taiwan, the rest of the world what we do. You cannot do it. So the geopolitics is such that it can go worst. And therefore, we have to consider that. And if we show you in the last 6 years to be really loyal to our numbers, let's say, the typical under promise over deliver, we like to keep that because we consider that very solid, very good for an investor. And so we have been very prudent in our number. But also, we told you there are upside and the upside is very solid because to add back the Russian market and the Middle East market and not to have a third or fourth world around the world will be a big plus. Like if we manage to have a new plant, we can start the refit in 6 months' time. Within 2028, we will have the profit. So the profit we expect is minor or equal to 19% but anyhow it's more than today. 2026, consider that we sold already 72% of the volume. So we do not have a lot of margin to make a better number for '26. But the idea is the '28 to be more than 19%. More than 19% is cannot be '25 for sure. But more than 19% is a standard already. So we guarantee you 19%, but with a kind of improvement. So it is very difficult to make a projection of 3 years with whatever you read every morning on the paper. We have to be very careful. We don't want to come back to you and say, sorry, we made a mistake. It's minor. I cross finger, but I hope not to do it in the future, like I didn't do it in the past.

I have another couple of questions. The first one is on the new countries you show you plan to target. Are you going direct or indirect in those?

Unknown Executive

Executives
#23

The direct or indirect distribution is depending from the market. In Japan, we found 2 strong dealers. They bought 4 stock boats. In Australia, we opened a direct office, which is a beautiful office. Why? Because in Japan, we found a good dealer. In Australia, we didn't, and we opened our office. We had a good broker based in Singapore, and he was pleased to move to Australia. So the decision to go direct or not is depending from the opportunity. What is important that we are unique in that distribution. So we have Sanlorenzo of America. We have -- we bought Simpson Marine for Asia Pacific. We opened with [indiscernible], which used to work with us 10 years in the company. He moves to Monaco, and we opened Sanlorenzo MED. It was an opportunity. So if we have an opportunity we are on it. If we have a good dealer, strong dealer, we go, for instance, in Italy, we have been distributing Sanlorenzo for many years. Now we have a dealer because it's a strong dealer. It's the biggest dealer of Italy. So it is nice to have the flexibility to do it or not. If you do not have Sanlorenzo MED, Sanlorenzo of America and Sanlorenzo Asia Pacific, which is Simpson Marine, you cannot do it. We have to choose a dealer that is the only solution.

And the last one on your guidance, revenues guidance, 6% plus. How much is price mix volumes? Last time we met in Milano, you were thinking about potential price increases, where we are on that?

Unknown Executive

Executives
#25

We have a good price increase and increase of marginality in the super yacht because you probably remember since the beginning, I said in Italy, we are top of the market, but we sell our super yacht at 30% less price than the Dutch and the Germans. Now that window is reducing every year. So we do expect that our marginality will increase mainly in super yacht. The Swan Alloy, which is, you remember, 50% -- will be probably 50% of the revenue. It is another opportunity to increase the marginality. Of course, the marginality increase today is for the bigger boats because that market is still very strong. I cannot expect to increase the marginality of Bluegame because below 24 meter, the market is struggling. But if the war stopped, also that market could be back. So the opportunity of the business is very much related to the outside decisions by geopolitics, which are not under our control. But for sure, the price element is one of the driving element of the increasing of the marginality. Saying equal to more than 19% is a message to you. That means the company is very solid, is strong, is resilient to everything. So we guarantee 19%, but 19% plus can be 20% but can be 22%, 23%, cannot be 25%. I need more time for that. But to move from 19% to 21% to 22% will totally change the result of the company. We have that opportunity.

Can I ask you, as a follow-up of Nicolo question, in your targets for EBITDA for 2028, 19% plus, does it include -- I mean, implies Swan still at 15%? Or is it different as your expectation in terms of net revenues are [indiscernible].

Unknown Executive

Executives
#27

No. The plan is not considering the double of the volume of Swan. That is an opportunity. But we don't know if that opportunity will be in 3 years or in 5 years. I think that with what we say GGG, which is Gianguido Girotti, we have quite a good chance also because he's been working -- he used to work very hard for many, many years with 24 plants, how many brands, 9 brands. So we have a guy which is 48 years old with a lot of experience with the past of a very hard life in working. And so I do expect that we can do better, but he's not in the company yet. He is coming in June. So it is difficult for us to plan a 3 years plan without -- I think that we will have a new meeting in November after 2, 3 months that Gianguido would be in the company with a new program of his job. Today, it would not be professional to promise something without the guy inside.

In the 3 years business plan, we have considered just a little increase in terms of services. We start from around 4% last year, and we consider to reach a percentage between 5% and 6%. So this is another opportunity that we indicated, especially for refit for further upside on the business plan.

My name is Rob [indiscernible]. I'm from [indiscernible], I'm representing Belgian and Dutch investors. I have 2 questions, if I may ask. The first one is regarding industry dynamics and the luxury sector in particular. We've seen in the beginning of the presentation that the number of billionaires and high net worth individuals has been increasing a lot over the past years. And on the contrary, we see the graph at the end that the whole luxury sector is actually not performing very well over the past years. We see even the best luxury companies in the world having troubles financially while having slowing growth. And I'm wondering if you believe that the last 4 to 5 years has been maybe the worst industry dynamics that you have experienced in your career or not? And if there is like maybe a structural shift going on where there is less appetite, let's say, for luxury products and how you see this evolving in the future and in the coming years if this should stabilize or improve?

Unknown Executive

Executives
#32

Look, when we say Sanlorenzo is better than luxury, we mean that our product is very different. Of course, we are luxury because to buy a boat, you have to spend $10 million, $20 million and it's not needed. It is really something that is a reward of what you do. It's like a toy for the big guy. If you ask me what will be the future? If the ladies will buy 6, 7 or 8 or 9 Kelly from Hermes, well, I think that the future will change. The new generation is not really keen to spend the kind of money for goods, let's call it, luxury, that probably they don't need. With the boat, we are talking about 70 yachts. We have 300,000 super rich people that can buy the 70 yachts. We do not expect a company or a family to buy 3, 4 or 5 yachts, but we do expect that more people will buy one yacht because a yacht is very nice to have. I have an experience in life. When we did through -- we went through the very big crisis in 2007, 2012, there was a lot of customers selling the boat because they could not allow them to spend so much money for the yacht. So they went to the beaches, they went to the 5-star hotel for the summer. As soon as they could have the money back to buy a yacht, they did it. Because when you go yachting, it is very hard to change your life. The beaches are beautiful, but they're very boring. So we think that our business is much more solid than the normal, let's say, luxury. And we do expect that the concept of wellness, longevity I just explained, people are really looking to enjoy life with a family, with a friends. And thanks to the new technology with Starlink with -- also with the habit after COVID to do meetings with video conference and not flying everywhere in the world to meet people, that will be a big advantage of yachting. For instance, we saw after COVID, the reduction of 10 years of the average age of our customer. Why? Because there is young people with more money, but also because the young people can work in the boat with the video conference. Starlink is giving you the possibility to cover the small island in Greece. And when you have a yacht, you go to the small island in Greece because it's beautiful. But 10 years ago, you could not cover the connection. So the technology and wellbeing approach, the scarcity of our business in respect of the amount of rich people that can afford it is such that I do expect that our business will grow, would not be only Sanlorenzo, probably would be also our competitors, the Italian builder, we have an opportunity. And you can see the graph of growing of the 3 major builder in Italy has been growing in volume and marginality through COVID, war, everything. We never stop. We always there performing probably because the market is such a small market in respect of the big billionaires and ultra-high net worth individuals that we really have an opportunity.

So you have a very strong long term, very long-term track record already.

We will see probably a small change. I think that the guy that today is 30 years old when he would be 40 and 45 will be more careful in sustainability, and they will probably move a bit from the motor yacht to the Maxi sale. And that's why we bought Swan because we consider Swan the top, and we want to have Swan in our group in order to be ready for the time of this change. I will tell you a little story. We had a customer buying a 500 Explorer, 50 meter. The guy signed a letter of intent, signed $1 million to [indiscernible] the letter of intent. After 2 weeks, he called me back and say, Max, I cannot buy the boat. Why? I had a meeting with my family. I have 2 daughters. I have a boy and the daughter and normally, the problem is coming from the daughter. And my 2 daughter don't want to go with the engine boat. And so okay, we send back the money. And when we did the due diligence of Swan, I found the guy being the customer for the [indiscernible] 128, the 40 meter Swan. And then I ask to the Swan people saying that was a customer say, well, you know something. It's a very special guy because the boat is designed by the daughter, which is 33. And when it comes to the very north of Finland, 700 kilometers north of Helsinki, she comes with the train. She doesn't fly because if she fly, she lose the number in the telephone, which is giving for the sustainability things. So the daughter pushed the father to cancel the motor yacht to buy a sailboat. I think that in the next 10 years, that will happen more and more. We do not expect to have -- today is 95% motor yacht and 5% Maxi. Probably will be 90%, 110% or 85% or 15%, but Sanlorenzo will be ready to take that opportunity with this one, and we are now starting a new line of product.

And then a second question, if I may ask, regarding the buyback and the free cash flow conversion of the company, so more a financial question. You have stated multiple times in the past that you believe your company is undervalued, and I completely agree with it. And my answer to that would be why not starting a share repurchase program, which you now have done a couple of weeks ago, a couple of days ago, if I remember correctly. So I will change my question, and that is, why did you do start a new buyback program right now? Is it also related to the improvement in the free cash flow conversion of the business because we've seen there has been a lot of investment in working capital, for example, the last years. Do you expect this to improve and for the free cash flow to be more in line with the net income in the coming years, so you have more cash available to do these buybacks?

Unknown Executive

Executives
#36

We do expect an improvement. It will be a continuous small improvement. Remember, when we buy Simpson Marine, we changed from a dealer to a direct distribution. That involved less order intake because we do not have a dealer that is buying 5 boats in stock that we can book and sold boat order intake. We sell the boat to ourselves in Hong Kong. And until they don't sell the boat to the final market, we cannot consider order intake as well as the cash. When they pay the deposit is the same money because we do the consolidation. So we have been changing the company in the last 2 years. The market was worsening because of the geopolitical situation. So the composition of the changing of our philosophy of distribution and the worsening of the market has been causing some worse situation of the cash. We think that, that will improve, but little by little. The second point about the buyback, we have a 10% buyback possibility approved by the Board of Directors. Consider that we are very careful in our cash situation. So we like to be in comfort in related to the cash of the company. So if you see that you have an opportunity to spend a lot of money to improve the plant because we have to do refit, we have to do more and then you reduce the choice of buying back from the market. So the buying back approach is, of course, related to the value of the share. When the share goes down, we buy because we expect the share to go up. But in the meantime, it's also related to the opportunity of spending that money for an important investment. And there is an important investment that we can do in the next...

So we need more space, and we are asking to have this space related to the existing space. It's 120 acres in the old military Navy or [indiscernible]. There are also other opportunities.

Unknown Executive

Executives
#42

Good order intake of plus 25% in respect of the '25 quarter is mainly related to the Luseldorf and the Miami Boat Show. So it is Europe and United States. And it is mainly to Sanlorenzo more than Bluegame and Swan. I hope that I have [indiscernible].

Michele Baldelli from BNP Paribas. I have a question on the renewal because there was a slide about the, let's say, new models to be launched in 2027, 2028. So I'm referring to that one. And I don't know how much of these models contribute to your sales. But just to have a picture of how much of your, let's say, revenues can be renewed per year, let's say, is there a single year that probably you will renew 50% of your sales into new models? So how should I think about it?

Unknown Executive

Executives
#44

Well, when I show the picture of the new model of '25, I told you that, that was the main driving factor of a good order intake. Remember, we had 7 quarters of order -- increasing order intake. I think that one of the main reasons are the new model because of the design of the innovation that has been really taking the market. I think that with this moment, we took one piece of the market of our competitors, was not only the growing of the market. Probably out of all the words we say today, the major element of success of Sanlorenzo has been innovation and design. That's why we are also opening the lab of innovation and design because we want to concentrate more energy and power in that matter related to the 3 brands. So I think that the success of these [indiscernible] has been quite an important boost to the order intake.

Michele Baldelli

#45

I was referring also to the slide with the time line, basically when we see, let's say, 10 years of duration of your, let's say, models. So it seems to me like in 2027, there was, let's say, there were several models between 2027 and 2028. So...

Slides I show you, somebody can -- I don't remember the -- so if you see the slide, basically, you see the -- but I think that we were speaking about the plan '26, '28.

But we cannot consider, gentlemen, that this presentation will be in our site. So everybody can read it 10 times, limits on the amount of things I can tell you today.

I was just to understand your thoughts about [indiscernible].

Unknown Executive

Executives

See what is important that the new 88 will come in 2028, and we put on the market on 2018. So that means that the SX88 has been a fantastic success. We sold more than 80 boats, and it is still selling after 11 years. 11 years is a long time. Our competitors averagely keep the boats for 5, 6 years. So if we manage to keep in the market, the model for 11 years, that means more profitability because out of the original investment, you can make more boats with the same molds in very small [indiscernible]. But also that means that who bought the yacht 2 years ago, 3 years ago after 8, 9 years, still has the feeling that the value of the asset is there. So it's a very good strong point of selling. If you go to the secondhand market and you see the price of the car Volkswagen Golf and you compare with Peugeot, I don't like to say Fiat many times. But with Renault, Peugeot, Fiat and Ford, you see that the Volkswagen is EUR 2,000 or EUR 3,000 a more. Why? Because there is a mix of quality, the thickness of the metal, the quality of the paint, the inside. You remember probably an advertisement that was very important for me. I learned a lot from that. There was a Volkswagen going at 150 kilometer. And there was a little rumor at the end, the rumor was the hearing of the [indiscernible] aside because Volkswagen do not have any vibration, any noise. Now if you can do that kind of advertisement, it is because the quality of Volkswagen is really superior to the competitors. That is an example of what is Sanlorenzo, solid quality. And then on top of it, you put design innovation. So at the end, the customer is buying Sanlorenzo regardless to what is happening because if you see the growth of the [indiscernible] plan is not incredible, but we do not -- we have not to forget that in 2024, there was a downturn of the world economy. And in '25, we have been experiencing a changing of the geopolitics in our world, the NATO and the Western world. And in 2026, we have quite a heavy war. So in the last, let's say, 30 months, the environment is not really positive and Sanlorenzo is there with increasing our volume in keeping quite strong, the best-in-class profitability, cash conversion. At the end, in 5 years, 6 years from EUR 27 million to EUR 107 million, we made 4x the increase of the net profit. So that means that the company is performing. And it's performing because there are reasons. The quality, the kind of customers, the ticket, price ticket selling mainly 70 above 24 meter. There are decision -- business decisions that are correct because of the experience of the team.

Just a quick follow-up on order intake. If you can give us some idea on what progression are you seeing in terms of order intake in the month of April, mainly after this strong performance in Q1?

Unknown Executive

Executives
#52

In this moment, we see a reduction of activity because of the war, consider that the performance of the first quarter is mainly related to January and February, which has been very good because it's been better than '24 and '25. March, of course, with the war coming was a kind of more relaxed month. April, there was some movement. So people is starting to talk about yacht again. We have to see what happened. And this is one of the reasons why the 2026 guidance has been pretty much careful. You see can be $180, which will be not a fantastic result, can be [indiscernible] or maybe a little more, which will be, in my opinion, a very good result. Here, we try to keep a fork, which is considering what happened for the war. Is the war going until September or December? The oil will go to $150. That will mean inflation in America means increase of interest. America is very much -- has a very huge debt. So if the interest rate goes up, there are problems. So all these variables are not in our hands. So when we sit down with the team of these people and decide this number, you have to consider that, first, we want to be solid. We want to be good in giving you numbers. We want to show you that Sanlorenzo is a very honest and good company. Then if we can do better, we'll be more than happy in 6 months' time, come and say, look, we will outperform the number, we will do better. But we will not -- we do not like the idea to come and say we'll be less. The situation today can really change.
