At its meeting of July 22, 2025, the Board of Directors, under the chairmanship of Mr. Éric Trappier, approved the financial statements for the 1st half of 2025.
The commercial success of the Rafale was strengthened with the signing and entry into force, in the 1st half of 2025, of India's acquisition contract of 26 Rafale Marine to equip the Indian Navy. India will be the first user outside France of the Rafale Marine. Since the beginning of the program, 533 Rafale have been ordered, including 323 for export.
The backlog set a new record at June 30, 2025, at EUR 48.3 billion (including 314 aircraft: 186 Rafale Export, 53 Rafale France and 75 Falcon).
Net sales for the 1st half of 2025 was EUR 2.8 billion, up 12% compared with the 1st half of 2024. 7 Rafale (4 Rafale Export and 3 Rafale France) and 12 Falcon were delivered. Operating income increased by 6% compared with the 1 st half of 2024, to EUR 180 million. Net income for the 1st half of 2025 was EUR 386 million, down by EUR 56 million, compared with the 1st half of 2024. This net income includes the tax surcharge in France of EUR 67 million.
Military and budgetary contexts create uncertainty for business activity and results.
Regarding the tariffs, Dassault Aviation is awaiting the final outcome of negotiations between the United States and Europe, the result of which could impact our Falcon activity.
This 1st half saw:
The 55th Paris Air Show once again demonstrated its ability to bring together the aerospace sector, with a record attendance rate (more than 300,000 visitors). It was an opportunity for meetings and discussions with institutions, foreign delegations, Falcon clients and partners. The popularity of our aircraft was illustrated by the success of the Rafale and Falcon 6X flight demonstrations. The Rafale and the UCAS were the stars of the static displays, enhanced by the Battle Lab presentation on future challenges of collaborative combat. The Space Hub was also in the spotlight, with the presentation of the VORTEX space aircraft. "L'Avion des Métiers" was very active, allowing visitors to learn about various jobs and training in the aerospace and defense sectors.

On July 22, 2025, the board of directors closed and authorized the publication of Dassault Aviation's condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2025.
Dassault Aviation is a Société Anonyme (limited company), listed and registered in the Paris Trade and Companies Register under number 712 042 456.
The condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2025 were prepared in accordance with IAS 34 "Interim Financial Reporting" and IFRS as adopted by the European Union as of June 30, 2025. The interim financial statements follow the same accounting rules and methods as those adopted for the annual consolidated financial statements drawn up as of December 31, 2024, as detailed in the 2024 annual financial report.
The amendment to IAS 21 regarding the lack of exchangeability, for application from January 1, 2025 has no impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2025.
Dassault Aviation operates in a complex environment, due in particular to geopolitical and macroeconomic uncertainties.
On April 2, 2025, the United States announced an increase in global tariffs. Dassault Aviation is awaiting the final outcome of negotiations between the United States and Europe.
As of June 30, 2025, no significant impact has been recognized in the condensed interim consolidated financial statements.
In previous fiscal years, a recurring seasonality phenomenon has been observed. As a result, the interim results as of June 30, 2025 are not necessarily representative of what might be expected for fiscal year 2025.
Pension costs for the half-year are calculated on the basis of the actuarial valuations performed at the end of the previous fiscal year. If necessary, these valuations are adjusted to take into account curtailments, settlements or other major non-recurring events during the period. Furthermore, amounts recognized in equity and liabilities in respect of defined benefit plans are adjusted, if necessary, in order to reflect material changes impacting the yield of investment-grade corporate bonds issued in the geographical area concerned (the benchmark used to determine the discount rate), the inflation rate and the actual return on plan assets.
Goodwill is tested for impairment at each year-end and whenever there is evidence of impairment.
For the half-year closing, Dassault Aviation's tax expense is calculated by applying the estimated annual average tax rate for the year to the accounting result for the period. This expense is, where necessary, adjusted for the tax impact of exceptional items during the period. In this respect, the tax charge for the period includes, for Dassault Aviation Parent Company, the corporate tax surcharge, calculated based on the average corporate tax due for 2024 and 2025.
IFRS 8, "Operating Segments," requires the presentation of information according to internal management criteria. The activity of Dassault Aviation relates entirely to the aerospace domain. The internal reporting made to the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and to the Chief Operating Officer, as used for strategy and decision-making, includes no performance analysis, under IFRS 8 terms, at a level lower than this sector.
Dassault Aviation is a French group that designs and manufactures military aircraft, business jets and space systems. Dassault Aviation mainly operates in France.
The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of Dassault Aviation and the following entities:

(2) see breakdown of financial debt in note 9.
A full analysis of the performance of investments, classified as other current financial assets and cash equivalents, is performed at each closing date. The investment portfolio does not show, line-by-line, any objective indication of significant impairment as of June 30, 2025 (as was the case on December 31, 2024). The corresponding risk analysis is described in note 18.
Following the cancellation of 198,527 shares in the first half of 2025, the share capital amounted to EUR 62,718 thousand and consisted of 78,397,034 common shares of EUR 0.80 each. The breakdown of capital as of June 30, 2025 is as follows:

(1) other financial liabilities mainly include locked-in employee profit-sharing funds. Employee profit-sharing corresponds to "other long-term benefits," and should be valued and discounted according to the principles of IAS 19 (revised). However, in view of the low historical differences between remuneration rate and discount rate, Dassault Aviation considers that the valuation method by amortized cost constitutes a reasonable approximation of the profit-sharing liability.

The net assets from overfinancing Dassault Falcon Jet's pension plans are posted in "Other receivables" (EUR 32,978 thousand at June 30, 2025 and EUR 39,894 thousand at December 31, 2024).
The discount rate used to calculate the provision for retirement severance payments for French companies (determined by reference to the yield for high-quality corporate long-term bonds) was 3.70% as of June 30, 2025, compared with 3.30% as of December 31, 2024. The rate used to calculate the provision for retirement severance payments for U.S. companies was 5.95% as of June 30, 2025 compared with 5.80% as of December 31, 2024.
The sensitivity of the net pension obligation to a change in the discount rate as of June 30, 2025 is as follows:
| Sensitivity in basis points | +100 bps | +50 bps | +25 bps | -25 bps | -50 bps | -100 bps |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

| Advances and progress payments received from customers | -21,941,121 | -18,237,389 |
| Contract liabilities | -22,418,802 | -18,836,124 |
For a given contract, a contract asset (liability) represents the unbilled receivables, less deferred income and advances and progress payments received from the customer.
The increase in contract liabilities is mainly explained by the increase in advances and progress payments received from customers. These are increasing primarily due to the receipt of progress payments on the Rafale Export contracts.
As Dassault Aviation acts as "principal" on the Rafale Export contracts, the progress payments received include the co-contractors' share. The progress payments paid reflect the repayment of the co-contractors' share:

Dassault Aviation has no significant risk in relation to its financial debt. The characteristics of the latter are described in note 9.
Dassault Aviation has a solid financial structure and works only with top-tier banks.
The investment portfolio is primarily composed of time deposits and money market investments with no significant risk of impairment.
| (in EUR thousands) | Market value | As % |
|---|---|---|
| Cash at bank and in hand, money market investments and time deposits | 7,098,250 | 74% |
| Investments in bonds and other debt securities | 1,613,087 | 17% |
| Unspecified investments | 860,628 | 9% |
| Total | 9,571,965 | 100% |
A full analysis of the performance of investments is performed at each closing date. The investment portfolio does not show, line-by-line, any objective indication of significant impairment as of June 30, 2025 (as was the case on December 31, 2024).
These investments could be converted into cash depending on Dassault Aviation's operational needs. Cash resources and its portfolio of marketable securities therefore allow Dassault Aviation to meet its commitments without any liquidity risk. Dassault Aviation is not faced with restrictions with regard to the availability of its cash and its portfolio of marketable securities.
Dassault Aviation allocates its investments and performs its cash and foreign exchange transactions with recognized financial institutions. Dassault Aviation has no investments or accounts with financial institutions presenting a significant risk of default.
Dassault Aviation limits counterparty risk by conducting most of its sales in cash and ensuring that the loans are secured by export insurance guarantees (Bpifrance Assurance Export) or collaterals. The share of receivables not covered by these procedures is subject to regular individual monitoring and, if necessary, a provision for impairment.
Given the arrangements in risk mitigation that are in place, and the provisions made in its accounts, Dassault Aviation's residual exposure to the risk of default by a customer in a country subject to uncertainties is limited.
The Bpifrance Assurance Export guarantees and collateral obtained and not exercised as of the closing date are of the same nature as those as of December 31, 2024.
The manufacturing risk is also guaranteed with Bpifrance Assurance Export for major military export contracts.
Dassault Aviation covers risks from exchange rates using derivative financial instruments whose book value is presented below:
| (in EUR thousands) | 06/30/2025 | 12/31/2024 | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Assets | Liabilities | Assets | Liabilities | |

| Net derivative financial instruments | 73,361 | 0 | 0 | 99,559 |
Dassault Aviation is exposed to a foreign exchange risk through the parent company in relation to its Falcon sales, which are mainly denominated in US dollars. This risk is partially hedged by using forward currency contracts and foreign exchange options.
Dassault Aviation partially hedges its cash flows that are considered highly probable. It ensures that the initial future cash flows will be sufficient to use the foreign exchange hedges in place. The hedged amount may be adjusted in accordance with changes over time in expected net cash flows.
This risk is permanent, taking into account exchange rate fluctuations and volatility. This is a significant risk for Dassault Aviation, since the measures put in place to limit this risk are not sufficient to make the net risk zero (periods not covered by hedges, possible financial impact of hedges already taken out the event of reversal of market assumptions).
The foreign exchange derivatives subscribed by Dassault Aviation are not all eligible for hedge accounting under IFRS 9 "Financial instruments." The breakdown is presented in the table below:
| (in EUR thousands) | Market value as of 06/30/2025 |

| Net exposure to interest rate risk | 6,378,550 | 3,168,660 | 9,547,210 |
A one-point increase in interest rates applied to Dassault Aviation's average cash flow would have had a positive impact on financial income of EUR 13,128 thousand in the first half of 2025.
There are no contingent assets or liabilities as of June 30, 2025.
The related parties as of June 30, 2025 are identical to those identified as of December 31, 2024 and the transactions during the period are of the same type.
No events likely to have a material impact on the financial statements occurred between June 30, 2025 and the date the financial statements were approved by the board of directors.

In compliance with the assignment entrusted to us by your Shareholders' Meeting and in accordance with the requirements of article L. 451-1-2 III of the French Monetary and Financial Code ("Code monétaire et financier"), we hereby report to you on:
These condensed half-yearly consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Board of Directors. Our role is to express a conclusion on these financial statements based on our review.
We conducted our review in accordance with professional standards applicable in France.
A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with professional standards applicable in France. Therefore, the assurance obtained during our review that the accounts, taken as a whole, are free from material misstatement is a moderate level of assurance, which is lower level that the one obtained from an audit.
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying condensed half-yearly consolidated financial statements are not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34- standard of the IFRSs as adopted by the European Union applicable to interim financial information.
We have also verified the information presented in the half-yearly management report on the condensed half-yearly consolidated financial statements subject to our review.
We have no matters to report as to its fair presentation and consistency with the condensed half-yearly consolidated financial statements.
