NOTE 8 - SEGMENT INFORMATION

In accordance with IFRS 8, operating segments are determined based on the reporting made available to the chief operating decision maker of the Group and to the Group's management.

Given that Legrand activities are carried out locally, the Group is organized for management purposes by countries or groups of countries which have been allocated for internal reporting purposes into three operating segments:

• Europe, including France, Italy and Rest of Europe (mainly including Benelux, Germany, Iberia (including Portugal and Spain), Poland, the United Kingdom and Turkey);

• North and Central America, including Canada, Mexico, the United States, and Central American countries; and

• Rest of the world, mainly including Australia, China, India and South America (of which particularly Brazil, Chile and Colombia).

These three operating segments are under the responsibility of three segment managers who are directly accountable to the chief operating decision maker of the Group.

The economic models of subsidiaries within these segments are quite similar. Indeed, their sales are made up of electrical and digital building infrastructure products in particular to electrical installers, sold mainly through third-party distributors.

NOTE 9 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

External growth

The Group achieved the acquisition - announced on September 3, 2024 - of APP (Australian Plastic Profiles), an Australian cable management (conduit) leader for all types of buildings. Based in Sydney, Australian Plastic Profile employs approximately 250 people and generates an annual revenue of over €100 million.

French Competition Authority’s (Autorité de la concurrence) investigation

On September 6, 2018, a search of Legrand premises took place. During the search, Legrand fully cooperated with the relevant authorities.

On July 4, 2022, Legrand received a statement of objections (notification de griefs) from the French Competition Authority, concerning the derogation mechanism with its distributors on the French market.

On October 20, 2022, Legrand reported that, as part of the investigation on the derogation mechanism on the French market, one of Legrand’s French entities has been indicted and ordered to provide security in the amount of €80.5 million.

On October 30, 2024, Legrand has taken note of the enforceable decision of the French Competition Authority ordering Legrand to pay a fine of €43 million for the application of derogated prices on the French market between 2012 and 2015.

Legrand categorically rejects the allegation made against it and reserves the right to appeal this decision.

Legrand reiterates its firm commitment to comply strictly with applicable law, in particular competition law.

This enforceable decision should not have a material impact on the Group’s 2024 financial statements.
