DECREASE IN TURNOVER IN THE SECOND QUARTER

Over the second quarter of 2025, AKWEL recorded a consolidated turnover of €255.0M, which is comparable to that of the previous quarter but down from the second quarter of 2024 by -3.9% as reported and by -2.7% at constant scope and exchange rates, following an unfavorable impact of exchange rates on the US dollar amounting to €3.1M. However, when considering the entirety of the first half of the year, the impact of exchange rates is not significant.

The turnover is distributed by geographic production area as follows:

• EMEA (Europe, Middle East, Africa): 349.9M (-0.4%)
• America: €144.1M (-10.1%)
• Asia: €16.6M (-3.4%)
   

Turnover for Products and Functions amounted to €497.5M in the first half, down -1.2%. The Decontamination (+15.1%), Fuel (+3.6%) and Cooling (+1.9%) product lines recorded growth, while other lines, including Air (-22.6%) and Mechanisms (-3.9%), exhibited a downward trend. Tools recorded a turnover of €8.1M for the period.

NET CASH POSITION OF €149.3M

With investments of €17.5M in the first half of the year and before disbursement of the dividend, the consolidated net cash excluding the impact of lease liabilities amounted to €149.3M as of June 30, 2025.

In addition, as part of its supplier partnership with Holding Enricau, of which the Group is a co-shareholder, AKWEL purchased 100% of three industrial buildings located at Thyez and Ayse in Haute-Savoie from Bionnassay Real Estate on July 24, 2025, for €15.9 million, including borrowings. These properties will be sold in the short term.

PERSPECTIVES FOR 2025

In view of the changes in activity recorded over the first two quarters of the financial year, AKWEL confirms that it anticipates a decrease in turnover for 2025, but to a lesser extent than in 2024.

POSTPONEMENT OF THE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING AND PAYMENT OF DIVIDENDS

The postponement of the general meeting to September 30, 2025 at the latest has been authorized by the Commercial Court of Bourg-en-Bresse. As statutory auditing work on the 2024 accounts is still ongoing, AKWEL will inform the market of the new timeline as soon as possible. Dividends for the 2024 financial year will be paid subsequent to the General Meeting.
