AMSTERDAM, July 29, 2025 - Stellantis N.V. today announced results for the H1 2025, reporting Net revenues of €74.3 billion, down 13% compared to H1 2024. This decline was primarily driven by North America and Enlarged Europe regions, partially offset by growth in South America. Results also reflect the impacts of foreign exchange headwinds, tariffs, and declines in European LCV industry volumes. Despite the challenging financial results, Stellantis is actively positioning itself for a stronger future through strategic leadership changes and renewed focus. New Leadership Team Now in PlaceStellantis announced on May 28, 2025 that its Board of Directors had unanimously selected Antonio Filosa as its new CEO, effective June 23, 2025. Filosa brings to the CEO role a people-first management philosophy, an expansive track record of success at the Company, and a clear vision for succeeding in a challenging auto industry. On June 23, 2025 Filosa announced Stellantis' new leadership team, comprised of individuals with extensive automotive industry expertise. The announcement marked the elevation of several high-performing executives to top-level roles for the first time, with the majority assuming significantly expanded responsibilities. Filosa was confirmed as a member of the Board of Directors and an executive director of Stellantis at the Extraordinary General Meeting on July 18, 2025. Commercial Recovery Update - Product Wave in Motion for Further GrowthCommercial recovery actions included the launch of four new models in H1 2025: Citroën C3 Aircross, Fiat Grande Panda, Opel/Vauxhall Frontera, Ram ProMaster Cargo BEV, as well as significant updates to popular products like the Ram 2500 and 3500 Heavy Duty, Citroën C4/C4X and Opel Mokka. New products contributed to a 127-basis points increase in EU30 market share compared to H2 2024, and a significant improvement in North American order books, which can support future period performance. Stellantis plans to launch 10 new models in 2025, including three STLA Medium products in H2 2025: Jeep® Compass, Citroën C5 Aircross and DS No8, complementing the recently launched STLA Medium-based Peugeot 3008, 5008 and Opel/Vauxhall Grandland. In direct response to customer feedback, Ram announced the return of the 5.7-liter HEMI® V-8 in the 2026 Ram 1500. The first trucks will arrive at dealerships in H2 2025. The second half of 2025 will also see the return to production for several other iconic products: the hybrid Jeep® Cherokee and the ICE Dodge Charger SIXPACK, each of which has been on production hiatus since 2023. The four-door Charger Daytona also joins the family. Peugeot announced the comeback of its GTi franchise with a new 208 GTi revealed at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in June 2025. Additionally, the Fiat Titano pickup truck has been introduced to the Argentine market, with a new engine and transmission, and is now produced at our plant in Córdoba, Argentina. Tariff Update Stellantis updates its estimate of 2025 net tariff impact to approximately €1.5 billion, of which €0.3 billion was incurred in H1 2025. The Company remains highly engaged with relevant policymakers, while continuing long-term scenario planning. Stellantis Re-Establishes Financial GuidanceStellantis has initiated financial guidance for H2 2025. The Company expects to see increased Net revenues, low-single digit AOI(2) profitability, and improved Industrial FCF(3) results in H2 2025. Guidance assumes current tariff/trade rules in place as of July 29, 2025.

Consequently, the potential dilutive impact of share-based payment plans was excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings/(loss) per share, as their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. However, for the purpose of calculating Adjusted diluted earnings per share, the adjusted net result reflects a profit. Therefore, the potential dilutive effect of share-based payment plans has been included in this calculation, as their impact is dilutive under these circumstances(B) Tax impact on adjustments is calculated based on the expected local country tax implications for each adjustment Cash flows from operating activities to Industrial free cash flows (€ million) H1 2025 H1 2024 Cash flows from operating activities(4) (2,287) 3,970 Less: Financial services, net of inter-segment eliminations(4) (4,397) (2,384) Less: Capital Expenditures and capitalized research and development expenditures and change in amounts payable on property, plant and equipment and intangible assets for industrial activities 5,136 5,438 Add: Proceeds from disposal of assets and other changes in investing activities 473 163 Less: Contributions of equity to joint ventures and minor acquisitions of consolidated subsidiaries and equity method and other investments 480 1,495 Add: Defined benefit pension contributions, net of tax 28 24 Industrial free cash flows(3) (3,005) (392) Debt to Industrial net financial position (€ million) June 30, 2025 December 31,2024 Debt (40,799) (37,227) Current financial receivables from jointly-controlled financial services companies 1,371 674 Derivative financial assets/(liabilities), net and collateral deposits 202 222 Financial securities 2,176 4,468 Cash and cash equivalents 30,660 34,100 Industrial Net Financial Position Classified as Held for sale (130) 169 Net financial position (6,520) 2,406 Less: Net financial position of financial services (15,512) (12,722) Industrial net financial position(7) 8,992 15,128 Available liquidity (€ million) June 30, 2025 December 31,2024 Cash, cash equivalents and financial securities(8) 32,836 38,568 Undrawn committed credit lines 16,895 12,915 Cash, cash equivalents and financial securities - included within Assets held for sale 5 297 Total Available liquidity(9) 49,736 51,780 of which: Available liquidity of the Industrial Activities 47,228 49,481(1) Adjusted operating income/(loss) excludes from Net profit/(loss) from continuing operations adjustments comprising restructuring and other termination costs, impairments, asset write-offs, disposals of investments and unusual operating income/(expense) that are considered rare or discrete events and are infrequent in nature, as inclusion of such items is not considered to be indicative of the Company's ongoing operating performance, and also excludes Net financial expenses/(income) and Tax expense/(benefit).Unusual operating income/(expense) are impacts from strategic decisions, as well as events considered rare or discrete and infrequent in nature, as inclusion of such items is not considered to be indicative of the Company's ongoing operating performance. Unusual operating income/(expense) includes, but may not be limited to: impacts from strategic decisions to rationalize Stellantis' core operations; facility-related costs stemming from Stellantis' plans to match production capacity and cost structure to market demand, and convergence and integration costs directly related to significant acquisitions or mergers.(2) Adjusted operating income/(loss) margin is calculated as Adjusted operating income/(loss) divided by Net revenues.(3) Industrial free cash flows is our key cash flow metric and is calculated as Cash flows from operating activities less: (i) cash flows from operating activities from discontinued operations; (ii) cash flows from operating activities related to financial services, net of eliminations; (iii) investments in property, plant and equipment and intangible assets for industrial activities; (iv) contributions of equity to joint ventures and minor acquisitions of consolidated subsidiaries and equity method and other investments; and adjusted for: (i) net intercompany payments between continuing operations and discontinued operations; (ii) proceeds from disposal of assets and (iii) contributions to defined benefit pension plans, net of tax. The timing of Industrial free cash flows may be affected by the timing of monetization of receivables, factoring and the payment of accounts payables, as well as changes in other components of working capital, which can vary from period to period due to, among other things, cash management initiatives and other factors, some of which may be outside of the Company's control. In addition, Industrial free cash flows is one of the metrics used in the determination of the annual performance bonus for eligible employees, including members of the senior management. (4) Effective H1 2025, two types of cash flows were reclassified to cash flows from operating activities: (i) the net change in receivables related to financial services activities have been reclassified from investing activities as these are part of our principal revenue-generating activities and (ii) certain financial receivables related to factoring transactions from financing activities. Comparative figures for H1 2024 have been reclassified accordingly. (€ million) H1 2024 as reported Adjustment: Financial services activities Adjustment: Financial receivables H1 2024 as adjusted Cash flows from operating activities 4,889 (1,739) 820 3,970 Less: Financial services, net of inter-segment eliminations (1,465) 1,739 (820) (2,384) Less: Capital Expenditures and capitalized research and development expenditures and change in amounts payable on property, plant and equipment and intangible assets for industrial activities 5,438 — — 5,438 Add: Proceeds from disposal of assets and other changes in investing activities 163 — — 163 Less: Contributions of equity to joint ventures and minor acquisitions of consolidated subsidiaries and equity method and other investments 1,495 — — 1,495 Add: Defined benefit pension contributions, net of tax 24 — — 24 Industrial free cash flows (392) — — (392) (5) Adjusted diluted earnings per share ("EPS") is calculated by adjusting Diluted earnings per share for the post-tax impact per share of the same items excluded from Adjusted operating income as well as tax expense/(benefit) items that are considered rare or infrequent, or whose nature would distort the presentation of the ongoing tax charge of the Company. We believe this non-GAAP measure is useful because it also excludes items that we do not believe are indicative of the Company's ongoing operating performance and provides investors with a more meaningful comparison of the Company's ongoing quality of earnings. Adjusted diluted EPS should not be considered as a substitute for Basic earnings per share, Diluted earnings per share from operations or other methods of analyzing our quality of earnings as reported under IFRS.(6) Combined shipments include shipments by the Company's consolidated subsidiaries and unconsolidated joint ventures, whereas Consolidated shipments only include shipments by the Company's consolidated subsidiaries. This includes the vehicles produced by our joint ventures and associates (including Leapmotor) which are distributed by our consolidated subsidiaries. In addition to the volumes included in consolidated shipments, combined shipments also includes the vehicles distributed by our joint ventures (such as Tofas). Figures by segments may not add up due to rounding.(7) Industrial net financial position is calculated as Debt plus derivative financial liabilities related to industrial activities less (i) cash and cash equivalents, (ii) financial securities that are considered liquid, (iii) current financial receivables from the Company or its jointly controlled financial services entities and (iv) derivative financial assets and collateral deposits. Therefore, debt, cash and cash equivalents and other financial assets/ liabilities pertaining to Stellantis' financial services entities are excluded from the computation of the Industrial net financial position. Industrial net financial position includes the Industrial net financial position classified as held for sale.(8) Financial securities are comprised of short term or marketable securities which represent temporary investments but do not satisfy all the requirements to be classified as cash equivalents as they may be subject to risk of change in value (even if they are short-term in nature or marketable).(9) The majority of our liquidity is available to our treasury operations in Europe and U.S.; however, liquidity is also available to certain subsidiaries which operate in other countries. Cash held in such countries may be subject to restrictions on transfer depending on the foreign jurisdictions in which these subsidiaries operate. Based on our review of such transfer restrictions in the countries in which we operate and maintain material cash balances, (and in particular in Argentina, in which we have €444 million cash and securities at June 30, 2025 (€680 million at December 31, 2024), and in Algeria, in which we have €373 million (€276 million at December 31, 2024)), we do not believe such transfer restrictions had an adverse impact on the Company's ability to meet its liquidity requirements at the dates presented above. Cash and cash equivalents also include €511 million at June 30, 2025 (€451 million at December 31, 2024) held in bank deposits which are restricted to the operations related to securitization programs and warehouses credit facilities of Stellantis Financial Services U.S. Rankings, market share and other industry information are derived from third-party industry sources (e.g. Agence Nationale des Titres Sécurisés (ANTS), Associação Nacional dos Fabricantes de Veículos Automotores (ANFAVEA), Ministry of Infrastructure and Sustainable Mobility (MIMS), S&P Global, Ward's Automotive) and internal information unless otherwise stated.

Questerre announces definitive agreement to acquire 100% of PX Energy
THIS NEWS RELEASE IS NOT FOR DISSEMINATION OR DISTRIBUTION IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA TO UNITED STATES NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR UNITED STATES PERSONS CALGARY, Alberta, July 29, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Questerre Energy Corporation ('Questerre' or the 'Company') (TSX,OSE:QEC) is pleased to announce that it has entered into a definitive agreement (the 'Definitive Agreement') to acquire 100% of Parana Xisto SA ('PX Energy'), a privately held shale oil production and refining company based in southern Brazil by way of acquisition of the shares of its indirect parent companies, Forbes & Manhattan Resources Inc. ('F&M Resources') and Forbes Participaҫões Ltda (the 'Acquisition'). 'This acquisition is a rare opportunity for us to gain the expertise and capacity to advance our multi-billion barrel oil shale resource in Jordan(1). I'm very pleased we were able to structure it to ensure the Quebec Assets are not affected by this deal.' said Michael Binnion, President and Chief Executive Officer of Questerre. 'PX Energy has operated for over thirty years using technology developed by Petrobras. We believe the PX Energy platform will also provide us with the operational base, deep expertise, and capital foundation needed to advance the Red Leaf oil shale and biofuel technology to the next stage. We are in active discussions with potential co-investors for up to 50% of this acquisition.' Transaction Highlights Assets acquired: PX Energy currently produces approximately 4,500 boe per day, with a targeted increase to 6,000 boe per day by August 31, 2026, supported by growth capital projects currently underway. Purchase consideration: 65 million common shares of Questerre, structured as follows: 15 million common shares issued upon closing, which will be subject to a voting and lock-up agreement; 50 million common shares, released in two tranches based on the achievement of key performance milestones: With respect to the first tranche of 25 million common shares, US$30 million Free Cash Flow achieved no later than September 30, 2027, with respect to the second tranche of 25 million common shares, US$40 million Free Cash Flow achieved no later than September 30, 2028; or Equity financings completed at or above C$0.50 per share with respect to the first tranche for aggregate proceeds of at least C$25 million completed no later than September 30, 2027 and with respect to the second tranche, an equity financing at or above C$1.00 per share for aggregate proceeds of at least C$25 million no later than September 30, 2028. Quebec asset spin-out: It is anticipated that Questerre's Quebec-based assets (the 'Quebec Assets') will be transferred into a separate sidecar subsidiary company (the 'Quebec Spin-out'). Questerre anticipates either distributing preferred shares of Questerre or of the new entity to its existing shareholders ahead of the closing of the acquisition of PX Energy in order not to dilute its existing shareholders' position in the Quebec Assets. Closing conditions: Completion of the Acquisition is subject to a number of conditions, including satisfactory due diligence review, board approval, standard regulatory approvals (including acceptance from the Toronto Stock Exchange and Oslo Stock Exchange (collectively, the 'Exchanges')) and third-party approvals including satisfactory waivers by the bond holders and convertible noteholders in favor of Questerre. Where applicable, the proposed Acquisition cannot close until the required shareholder approval is obtained. There can be no assurance that the Acquisition will be completed as proposed or at all. The Company has retained Clarksons Securities AS, a Norwegian based investment banking firm as financial advisor to advise on the existing outstanding debt of PX Energy including US$80 million in senior secured bonds in Forbes Resources Brazil Holding SA (the parent company of PX Energy). The Company is anticipating that a stronger sponsor will be well received by the debt holders and the holders of US$8 million in convertible promissory notes in F&M Resources.

Any statements about Questerre's expectations, beliefs, plans, goals, targets, predictions, forecasts, objectives, assumptions, information and statements about possible future events, conditions and results of operations or performance are not historical facts and may be forward-looking. Forward-looking information is often, but not always, made through the use of words or phrases such as 'anticipates', 'aims', 'strives', 'seeks', 'believes', 'can', 'could', 'may', 'predicts', 'potential', 'should', 'will', 'estimates', 'plans', 'mileposts', 'projects', 'continuing', 'ongoing', 'expects', 'intends' and similar words or phrases suggesting future outcomes.

The forward-looking information that may be in this news release is based on current expectations, estimates, projections and assumptions, having regard to the Company's experience and its perception of historical trend which have been used to develop such statements and information, but which may prove to be incorrect, and includes, but is not limited to, expectations, estimates, projections and assumptions relating to: the timely receipt of approval of the Acquisition by the Exchanges, third parties, and other regulatory bodies; all closing conditions to the Acquisition being satisfied and the closing of the Acquisition occurring as anticipated; all closing conditions to the Quebec Spin-out being satisfied and the closing of the Quebec Spin-out occurring as anticipated; foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates; future crude oil, natural gas liquids, and natural gas prices; management's expectations relating to the timing and results of its other exploration and development activities; ability of management to execute on key priorities; the effectiveness of various actions resulting from the Company's strategic priorities; the Company's ability to integrate the PX Energy platform to advance its oil shale and biofuel technology to the next stage; the Company's ability to maintain PX Energy predicted rate of production; and the Company's ability to apply its HCCO technology to the assets being acquired. Although Questerre believes that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, undue reliance should not be placed on them because Questerre can give no assurance that they will prove to be correct. Since forward-looking statements address future events and conditions, by their very nature they involve inherent risks and uncertainties. Current conditions, economic and otherwise, render assumptions, although reasonable when made, subject to greater uncertainty. Undue reliance should not be placed on forward-looking information as actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by forward-looking information. Events or circumstances may cause actual results to differ materially from those predicted as a result of numerous known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors, many of which are beyond the control of the Company, including, without limitation, the following risk factors: the Acquisition not being completed on the terms anticipated or at all, including due to a closing condition not being satisfied, including, the inability to obtain receipt of all necessary securityholder, third parties (including satisfactory waivers by the bond holders and convertible noteholders), Exchanges, and regulatory approvals or consents, lack of material changes with respect to the parties and their respective businesses; the Quebec Spin-out not being completed on the terms anticipated or at all; the synergies expected from the Acquisition not being realized; loss of key personnel of PX Energy upon completion of the Acquisition; the implementation of Bill 21 by the Government of Quebec; additional funding requirements; exploration, development and production risks; volatility in the oil and gas industry; prices, markets and marketing of crude oil and natural gas; liquidity and the company's substantial capital requirements; prices, markets and marketing of crude oil and natural gas; political uncertainty; non-government organizations; changing investor sentiment; global financial market volatility; adverse economic conditions; alternatives to and changing demand for petroleum products; environmental risks; regulatory risks; inability of management to execute its business plan; competition from other issuers; expiration of licenses and leases; Indigenous claims; possible failure to realize anticipated benefits of acquisitions; and reputational risks. Additional information regarding some of these risks, expectations or assumptions and other risk factors may be found in the Company's Annual Information Form for the year ended December 31, 2024, and other documents available on the Company's profile at Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements contained in this news release are made as of the date hereof and Questerre undertakes no obligations to update publicly or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, unless so required by applicable securities laws. Barrel of oil equivalent ('boe') amounts may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A boe conversion ratio has been calculated using a conversion rate of six thousand cubic feet of natural gas to one barrel of oil and the conversion ratio of one barrel to six thousand cubic feet is based on an energy equivalent conversion method application at the burner tip and does not necessarily represent an economic value equivalent at the wellhead. Given that the value ratio based on the current price of crude oil as compared to natural gas is significantly different from the energy equivalent of 6:1, utilizing a conversion on a 6:1 basis may be misleading as an indication of value. This news release is not an offer of securities for sale in the United States. Securities may not be offered or sold in the United States or to or for the account or benefit of US persons (as such terms are defined in Regulation S under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "U.S. Securities Act")), absent registration or an exemption from registration. The securities offered have not been and will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act or any state securities laws and, therefore, may not be offered for sale in the United States, except in transactions exempt from registration under the U.S. Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. This news release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there be any sale of the securities in any State in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful. (1) There is no certainty that it will be commercially viable to produce any portion of the resources. In October 2016, Questerre commissioned an independent assessment of its oil shale resources in Jordan (the 'Millcreek Report'). The Millcreek Report was conducted by Millcreek Mining Group, an independent qualified reserves evaluator, as defined by NI 51-101 with an effective date of September 30, 2016. The assessment was prepared in accordance with NI 51-101 and the COGE Handbook. The assessment indicated a best estimate of discovered petroleum initially in place of between 7.8 billion barrels to 12.2 billion barrels. Given the preliminary nature of the Millcreek Report, it does not contain any estimates regarding the timing or cost to obtain commercial development nor has Questerre finalized the specific technology to be used.

Vinci Compass in talks to buy Brazilian asset manager Verde
By Andre Romani SAO PAULO (Reuters) -Vinci Compass is in talks to buy Verde Asset Management, one of Latin America's most established hedge funds, Verde told Reuters on Monday, confirming earlier news reports. The move, set to be carried out through a share swap, would put Vinci, a Nasdaq-listed firm focused on alternative investments such as private equity, and Verde under the same roof. News outlet Brazil Journal first reported the potential deal, citing sources. The two firms combined manage nearly $58 billion in assets, according to data on their websites. The two Brazilian asset managers reached an initial agreement for a joint venture that would give Vinci control of Verde after five years, Verde confirmed. Verde's management would remain autonomous during that period, and Verde co-founder Luis Stuhlberger is set to remain as partner, it added. Vinci did not immediately respond to a request for comment sent outside normal business hours.
