  • FY guidance raised on all metrics

Paris, October 24, 2025

Adjusted data

Q3 2025 revenue: €7,852 million (+18.3%)

9m 2025 revenue: €22,621 million (+14.9%)

Foreword

  • All figures in this press release represent adjusted data, except where noted. Please refer to the definitions and reconciliation between Q3 and 9 months 2025 consolidated revenue and adjusted revenue. Please refer to the definitions contained in the footnotes and in the Notes on page 7 of this press release.
  • Organic changes exclude changes in scope and currency impacts for the period.

CEO Olivier Andriès said: "The third quarter confirmed the strength of our civil engines aftermarket, and saw record LEAP engine deliveries. Over the first nine months of the year, revenue grew by 15%, reflecting strong organic growth, notably in services across the board. The integration of the flight control and actuation activities, acquired in July, is progressing smoothly. In light of this solid performance and despite the estimated impact of tariffs now taken into account, we are raising our full-year guidance on all metrics."

Q3 and 9m 2025 revenue

Q3 2025

Q3 2025 revenue stood at €7,852 million, up by 18.3% compared to Q3 2024 (+18.5% organic). Changes in scope had a positive €296 million1 effect, mainly driven by the contribution of the flight control and actuation activities acquired from Collins Aerospace in July. The currency impact was a negative €309 million, with an average EUR/USD spot rate of 1.17 in Q3 2025 (1.10 in Q3 2024). The EUR/USD hedge rate in Q3 2025 stood at 1.12 (unchanged from Q3 2024).

As for organic revenue per division:

Propulsion was up by 25.6%, with aftermarket revenue up by 21.1% and OE sales up by 34.4%. The positive momentum in aftermarket activities observed in H1 persisted in Q3, with Spare parts for civil engines (in USD) increasing by 16.1%, driven primarily by CFM56 and high-thrust engines. LEAP also contributed positively over the period. Services for civil engines (in USD) were up by 24.2%, supported notably by LEAP rate per flight hour (RPFH) contracts and also benefiting from high-thrust engines.

LEAP engine deliveries increased by 40% to 511 units compared to 365 in Q3 2024, demonstrating a strong catch-up from H1 (Q3 deliveries up 25% vs Q2 2025).

Military aircraft engine revenue declined year-over-year, notably due to a softer level of aftermarket activity and slightly fewer M88 deliveries to end customers.

Helicopter engine revenue growth was mostly driven by a higher level of services. Though to a lesser extent, revenue of missile propulsion systems also increased due to higher deliveries.

Equipment & Defense was up by 11.7%.

Aftermarket services increased by 11.5%, with growth across the board, particularly in landing systems (spare parts and services for landing gears as well as carbon brake activities), electrical systems and nacelles (A320neo).

OE sales grew by 11.9%, led by higher volumes in landing gear (787 and A320neo), electrical systems (primary electrical system and wiring) and nacelles (A320neo as well as business and regional jets). Avionics (actuation systems, FADEC), defense (AASM/Hammer, missile seekers, navigation & timing systems) and space activities also contributed positively to the division revenue.

Aircraft Interiors saw 9.8% growth.

Aftermarket activities increased by 6.8% driven by demand for Cabin (spare parts and air management systems), particularly from customers in the Middle East and APAC regions. OE sales grew by 11.7%, supported by Cabin (galleys, inserts, etc.) and IFE deliveries, slightly offset by lower Business class seat deliveries (428 units in Q3 2025 vs 592 in Q3 2024) resulting from certification challenges.

9m 2025

Revenue for the first nine months of 2025 amounted to €22,621 million, up 14.9% compared to 9m 2024. Sales increased by €2,949 million (+15.0%) on an organic basis, reflecting growth across all divisions, with Propulsion standing out (o/w +19.5% in USD for Spare parts and +22.2% in USD for Services). Changes in scope had a positive €407 million2 effect, including the contribution of the flight control and actuation activities. The negative currency impact of €421 million reflects a negative

translation impact of USD revenues, with an average EUR/USD spot rate of 1.12 in 9m 2025 (1.09 in 9m 2024). The EUR/USD hedge rate in 9m 2025 was 1.12 (unchanged from 9m 2024).

Currency hedging

The hedging portfolio amounts to $54 billion at the end of September 2025 ($55 billion at the end of June 2025).

  • 2025 hedge rate is EUR/USD 1.12, for an estimated net exposure of $14 billion.
  • 2026, 2027 and 2028 are fully hedged: targeted hedge rate of EUR/USD 1.12, for an estimated net annual exposure of $14 billion.
  • 2029 is partially hedged: $8 billion out of an estimated net exposure of $14 billion.

Share repurchase program

On September 22, Safran launched a new €500 million share buyback tranche for cancellation, to be completed no later than December 5, 2025. As of October 17, 2025, the total number of shares repurchased in 2025 had reached 4.9 million, representing an aggregate amount of €1,292 million. Additionally, in April 2025, Safran reallocated for cancellation around 0.2 million previously held treasury shares with a market value of €50 million. Altogether, as of October 17, this amounts to roughly 5.1 million shares — a total of €1,342 million — scheduled for cancellation before the end of the year.

Impact of tariffs

Now that bilateral agreements have been negotiated, Safran is better positioned to assess and manage the risks associated with tariffs. The agreement between the EU and the US, as well as the eligibility of its products under the USMCA regime, have significantly reduced the amounts at stake. In this fluid environment, Safran remains agile and actively continues to implement mitigation measures and commercial actions. Nonetheless, a residual impact remains, primarily related to flows between China and the US, Section 232 (aluminum, steel and copper) or products not eligible under bilateral agreements. The net impact on the recurring operating income, now included in the full-year 2025 outlook, is expected at a negative €100 - €150 million in 2025.

Full-year 2025 outlook

Safran upgrades its full-year 2025 outlook, which now includes the expected net impact of tariffs. This outlook remains at constant scope and excludes the net contribution from flight control and actuation activities acquired in July:

  • Revenue growth: up 11% - 13% (versus low-teens);
  • Recurring operating income: €5.1 - €5.2 billion (versus €5.0 - €5.1 billion);
  • Free Cash Flow: €3.5 – €3.7 billion (versus €3.4 – €3.6 billion), of which an estimated €380 - €400 million negative impact from the French corporate surtax and subject to payment schedule of some advance payments and the pace of payments by State customers.

This outlook is based notably, but not exclusively, on the following assumptions with two of them now being updated:

  • LEAP engine deliveries: more than 20% compared to 2024 (versus 15% - 20%);
  • "Spare parts" revenue (in USD): up mid to high-teens;
  • "Services" revenue (in USD): up low to mid-twenties (versus mid to high-teens);
  • EUR/USD spot rate of 1.10;
  • EUR/USD hedge rate of 1.12;

Watch item: supply chain production capabilities.

{3}------------------------------------------------

In addition to the above full-year 2025 outlook, Safran provides the expected net contribution from flight control and actuation activities acquired in July (5 months):

  • Revenue: ~€650 million
  • Recurring operating margin: mid-single digit before separation and integration costs

Notes

Adjusted data:

To reflect the Group's actual economic performance and enable it to be monitored and benchmarked against competitors, Safran prepares an adjusted income statement in addition to its consolidated financial statements.

Safran's consolidated revenue has been adjusted for the impact of:

  • the mark-to-market of foreign currency derivatives, in order to better reflect the economic substance of the Group's overall foreign currency risk hedging strategy:
    • revenue net of purchases denominated in foreign currencies is measured using the hedged rate, resulting from the exchange rate effectively obtained over the year under hedging strategies, including premiums on settled options, and,
    • all mark-to-market changes on instruments hedging future cash flows are neutralized.

The resulting changes in deferred tax have also been adjusted.

Reconciliation of the Q3 and 9m 2025 consolidated revenue with the Q3 and 9m 2025 adjusted revenue:
