Leonardo recognized by Extel as “Rising IR Program” among Large Caps

Rome, 14 September 2026

Leonardo has been recognized and awarded the “Rising IR Program” in the Large Caps category in Italy, according to the 2026 Extel Survey, one of the most widely recognized benchmarks in the industry.

The Extel Survey is one of the key surveys for the global financial community. Each year, it gathers the views of institutional investors, portfolio managers and sell-side analysts on listed companies and their senior management, classified by sector and market capitalization.

The “Rising IR Program” award recognizes the company that, compared with the previous edition, recorded the most significant improvement in the Extel rankings.

Compared with 2025, Leonardo’s Investor Relations program received higher ratings in the Extel Survey, mainly thanks to improvement in the clarity and transparency of financial communication, quality of events and preparedness of the IR team, and consistency and depth of financial disclosure.

The Survey therefore highlighted a clear improvement, as perceived by the financial community, in the quality and effectiveness of Leonardo’s Investor Relations activities over the past year. The 2026 Extel Survey involved 2,414 financial professionals from 1,029 companies, who provided thousands of assessments of listed companies and their Investor Relations teams across Italy and Europe.

Analysts’ positive assessment was also supported by the growth recorded by Leonardo Group’s key financial indicators in FY 2025: an order backlog of €46.6 billion, consolidated revenues of €19.5 billion and EBITA of €1.75 billion.
