During the first quarter, BPI Real Estate Belgium launched the sale of the Uni'Vert residential project in Auderghem (7,000 m²) as well as the first phase of residential units in the Brouck'R project (93 apartments). The level of pre-sales is very satisfactory. On 31 March 2025, the future nursing school located at the Bavière site in Liège was sold off-plan to the Province of Liège. In Luxembourg, sales of the final phase of Domaine des Vignes in Mertert are progressing at a satisfactory level. BPI Real Estate is preparing the start of construction of the mixed-use project Roots in Belval (21,000 m²). The pre-commercialisation of the apartments has been launched. In Poland, sale and construction of the residential project Piano Forte in Warsaw (10,000 m²) have
started. In addition, the pace of sales of residential units delivered in the second half of 2024 has been maintained despite more difficult market conditions.

VMA achieved a revenue of € 50.1 million, a decrease of 10.7%. The Industrial Automation Business Unit is currently suffering from market conditions in the industry. On the other hand, maintenance activity remained strong.
MOBIX's revenue fell by 12.8% to € 18.4 million. Activity varied across the different Business Units: it decreased in Energy North, where the Enves project is nearing completion, but rose significantly in Energy Souththanks to the ramp-up of work carried out for the network operators Ores and Resa.
The order book amounts to € 316.2 million, up 10.2% compared to 31 December 2024. MOBIX's order book is stable, while VMA's grew by 18.6% during the first quarter of 2025.

At the Tour & Taxis site in Brussels, CFE is finalising the construction of the residential buildings in the Park Lane II phase (350 apartments), through its subsidiary MBG.
In Flanders, several major projects are underway, including the construction of a bypass north of the Antwerp ring road as part of the Oosterweelverbinding, two projects at the INEOS site in the port of Antwerp, several residential buildings in the new Nieuw Zuid district, and the construction of the new SD Worx headquarters.
The order book amounted to € 1,382.1 million on 31 March 2025 (up 3% compared to 31 December 2024). Several major new orders were secured in the first quarter of 2025, including:
Weather conditions were unfavourable in the first quarter of 2025 for the Rentel and SeaMade offshore wind farms.
In Vietnam, Deep C is continuing to develop its five industrial zones. 16.6 hectares were sold in the first quarter of 2025 (5 hectares in the first quarter of 2024). To date, the tariff measures announced by the US administration do not appear to have any significant negative impact on Deep C.
The financial close for the third battery energy storage park was reached during the first quarter of 2025. This is a 270 MWh storage park developed in partnership with SOCOFE (15%) and SOPAER (10%), located in Aubange, Belgium. Construction of the park has just begun and it should be operational by the second half of 2026.
The Board of Directors confirms the outlook communicated at the end of February 2025, which is a moderate contraction in CFE's revenue in 2025, but a net income close to that of 2024.
The Ordinary General Meeting of CFE shareholders, held on 30 April 2025, approved all the resolutions submitted to them, including the distribution of a gross dividend of € 0.4 per share.
