**Paris, April 17, 2025** - Atos, a global leader in digital transformation, high-performance computing and information technology infrastructure, today announces its Q1 2025 revenue.

#### **Philippe Salle, Atos Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer**, declared:

*"Our first quarter performance confirms the inflexion in our business trajectory following the closing of our financial restructuring at the end of 2024. While top line remained under pressure, our commercial activity continued to recover during the quarter, attesting to the confidence and engagement of our clients and boding well for the future of Atos. We have also limited our cash consumption during the quarter and made significant progress in the implementation of our restructuring program to adapt our cost base. I look forward to sharing my vision for Atos and unveiling our mid-term strategy at our Capital Markets Day on May 14. This is the start of a new chapter for the Group, with relentless focus on serving our customers through innovation and high-quality services."*

### **Q1 2025 Revenue by Business**

*\*: at constant scope and March 2025 average exchange rates*

**Group revenue** was €2,068 million, down -15.9% organically compared with Q1 2024. Overall, Group revenue evolution in Q1 2025 reflects lower order entry and contract completions recorded in 2024, before the closing of the financial restructuring of the Company in December 2024, deliberate reduction of BPO activities in the UK, calendar effects as well as market softness in key geographies.

**Eviden** revenue was €973 million, down -14.0% organically.

- **Digital** activities decreased double digit. The business was impacted by H2 2024 contract completions and contract scope reductions, as well as by the continued market softness in North America, in the UK & Ireland and in Southern Europe.
- **Big Data & Security (BDS)** revenue decreased high single digit. Lower activity in cybersecurity services due to volume decline and contract completions was partially offset by growth in Advanced Computing due to large project deliveries in India and Germany.

**Tech Foundations** revenue was €1,095 million, down -17.5% organically.

- **Core revenue** (excluding BPO and value-added resale ("VAR")) decreased double digit mainly due to previously established contract terminations and completions in North America, lower revenue from Major Events following the delivery of the 2024 Paris Olympic and Paralympic games, and by contract scope and volume reduction in the UK.
- **Non-core revenue** declined double digit as planned, reflecting deliberate reduction of BPO activities in the UK and reduced value-added resale for hardware and software products.

*\*: at constant scope and March 2025 average exchange rates*

**Central Europe** revenue was € 501 million, down **-5.0%** organically.

- Eviden revenue decreased low single digit. Decline in Digital due to volume reduction from Manufacturing and Public Sector customers was partially offset by the delivery of a large HPC in Germany.
- Tech Foundations revenue decreased double digit, reflecting volume and scope reductions related to low-margin contracts with Pharmaceutical and Banking customers.

**Southern Europe** revenue was €438 million, down **-16.9%** organically.

- Eviden revenue decreased double digit. Digital activities declined due to volume reduction with Automotive, Transport & Logistics and Banking customers. The delivery of a supercomputer project in France in 2024 provided a higher prior year comparison basis for BDS.
- Tech Foundations revenue decreased high single digit due to contract completions with select customers.

**North America** revenue was € 382 million, down **-27.6%** organically, impacted by contract terminations and completions, and general slowdown in market conditions.

- Eviden revenue decreased double digit, notably from lower activity with Healthcare, Finance, and Transport & Logistics customers. BDS decreased double digit due to contract completion and volume reductions.
- Tech Foundations revenue decreased double digit notably from lower activity in Media and Insurance.

**UK & Ireland** revenue was € 309 million, down **-28.8%** organically.

- Eviden revenue decreased double digit. Digital revenue decreased on back of market softness in Public Sector while BDS remained stable.
- Revenue in Tech Foundations decreased double digit, due primarily to previously announced large contract exit in Public Sector BPO.

**Growing Market** revenue was €224 million, up **+2.0%** organically. Revenue from the delivery of a HPC in India was partly offset by the high prior year comparison basis of Major Events, which included revenue from the 2024 Paris Olympic & Paralympic Games.

**Benelux and the Nordics** revenue was € 212 million, down **-3.6%** organically

- Eviden revenue decreased low single digit, impacted by project completions and volume reductions in Manufacturing.

Scope effects amounted to €-44 million. They related to the divesture of Worldgrid in Southern Europe and Central Europe.

Currency effects positively contributed to revenue for €+23 million. They mostly came from the appreciation of the British pound and the US dollar partially compensated by the depreciation of the Brazilian real, the Argentinian peso and the Turkish lira.
