3. Change to the accounting presentation of the research tax credit

Since the publication of regulation 2020-01 on 9 October 2020, the income resulting from the CIR (Research Tax Credit) scheme must be presented as a deduction from corporation tax in the consolidated profit and loss.

The ANC tolerated a transition period of 3 years ending on 31 December 2023 before making this reclassification. This reclassification was carried out in the accounts to 06/30/2025.

As a result, operating revenue up to 2023 includes the Group's research tax credits. In the accounts to 06/30/2025, research tax credits are now shown on the "Research tax credit" line, as a deduction from the tax on profits.

To enable a comparable reading of operating income, the Research Tax Credit (CIR) is presented below according to the old method in operating income:

06.2025 06.2024
Operating income 2,896,072 2,249,390

The cash amounts to €27,219k as on 30 June 2025, compared to €25,225 as on 31 December 2024 (+8%). This increase is notably explained by:

The cash flow from operations of €4,540k.

{8}------------------------------------------------

  • The negative change in WCR (-€817k) stems mainly from a net increase in customer receivables (- €8,095k), an increase in RTC receivables due to a 3-year deferred reimbursement of Sidetrade SA's RTC following the exceeding of the threshold for definition of an EU SME (-€1,744k), and an increase in deferred income (+€9,071k).
  • The decrease in cash due to the acquisition of fixed assets mainly property, plant and equipment for €419k and intangible assets for €155k.
  • The decrease in cash due to repayments of various loans shown below: €468k for the BNP loan and €655k for the BPI loans.

5. Presentation of the Group and significant events of the financial year

Strong turnover growth of +18%, including +24% for SaaS subscriptions

In the first half of 2025, Sidetrade recorded a consolidated turnover of €29.3M, an increase of 19% at constant exchange rates and 18% in terms of published data.

The revenues from SaaS subscriptions reached €25.4M, up 25% at constant exchange rates (+24% in terms of published data). On a like-for-like basis (excluding SHS Viveon contribution), growth was +12% at constant exchange rates. This sustained pace confirms the solidity of Sidetrade's SaaS model, based on recurring revenues capable of generating robust performance in a complicated economic environment.

This momentum was driven in particular by the expansion of the key accounts portfolio. Subscriptions from companies with turnover of more than 2.5 billion euros rose by 42% over the half-year. These contracts now account for more than half of Sidetrade's subscriptions, reaching 54% of total SaaS subscriptions, testifying to the company's increasingly strong positioning with international companies. This momentum in the upper market segment should remain a significant growth driver over the coming quarters.

The Services business, for its part, came to €3.9M, down 8% on the first half of 2024 (-32% on a like-for-like basis). It was impacted by a smaller number of major new projects, as well as more limited services on additional SaaS subscription sales to existing customers.

Lastly, the integration of the activities of SHS Viveon (effective from 1 July 2024) contributed €3.9M to the turnover in the first half of 2025, or 13% of the consolidated total for the first half of 2025.

It is recalled that all Sidetrade multi-year contracts are systematically indexed to inflation (Syntec for Southern Europe, UK CPI for Northern Europe, and US CPI for the United States). This measure ensures that price changes are passed on to SaaS subscribers each year, without waiting for contracts to come up for renewal.

Leverage effect on the operating margin up 29% to 16% of the turnover

Significant increase in gross margin: +14%, reaching 77% of the turnover

The gross margin amounted to €22.6M , up €2.7M compared to the first half of 2024, in a still demanding macroeconomic context. The gross margin rate was 77% of the consolidated turnover (compared to 80% a year earlier). On a like-for-like basis (excluding SHS Viveon), it reached 80% and remained stable at 92% for SaaS subscriptions, confirming the structural resilience of the company's business model.

An operating margin rate of 16% of turnover (versus 15% of turnover in H1 2024)

The operating margin reached €4.6M, up 29% relative to the €3.6M recorded in the first half of 2025, or 16% of turnover (vs. 15% a year earlier). On a like-for-like basis (excluding SHS Viveon), the rate climbed to 17% of turnover, a gain of 2 points on the first half of 2024 ; a level that now places Sidetrade in the upper range of SaaS publisher standards.

This record profitability level reflects the full impact of operating leverage. Against a tense market backdrop, marked by a wait-and-see attitude on the part of corporate investors, Sidetrade was able to capitalize on its dynamic recurring revenues, while reinforcing its budgetary discipline. Cost control, particularly in sales and marketing functions, has gone hand in hand with improved operating efficiency.

This remarkable improvement in profitability indicators in the first half of 2025 has enabled Sidetrade to maintain an ambitious investment policy, with €1.3M of additional R&D expenditure, primarily devoted to the development of agentic AI.

The operating margin for the first half of 2025 also includes a Research Tax Credit of €1.7M (vs. €1.4M in H1 2024) as well as a marginal activation of R&D expenses (€0.15M, or 2% of the half-year R&D costs).

{10}------------------------------------------------

Ultimately, the increase in the operating margin rate to 16% (17% on a like-for-like basis), compared to 15% in the first half of 2024, reflects the continuation of operational efficiency gains and the achievement of a new profitability level.

Strong increase in net income to €4.1M, up 15%

Sidetrade's financial result for the first half of 2025 came to €0.1M (vs. €0.3M in H1 2024). This performance is mainly due to interest generated by short-term investments.

With regard to corporate tax, the expense is estimated at €0.6M in this first half of the year (compared to €0.4M in H1 2024).

All in all, Sidetrade's net income for the first half of 2025 amounted to €4.1M , up 15%, confirming a new profitability level and a solid balance between growth and profitability.

Strengthened financial solidity

At 30 June 2025, Sidetrade had a gross cash position of €27.2M, up €2.0M compared to 31 December 2024, excluding the timing effect of the Research Tax Credit repayment.The Group also had 85,600 treasury shares, valued at €21.5M at 30 June 2025.

At the same time, net financial debt remains very limited, with gross debt reduced to €6.8M (-€1.1 M in under six months). With a comfortable net cash position and controlled debt, Sidetrade has the flexibility to finance its investments and support its expansion, while maintaining a robust balance sheet profile.

6. Events subsequent to the close of the financial year

N/A

7. Consolidation methods and principles

General principles

The Group consolidated accounts were established in accordance with French accounting principles laid down by law n°85.11 of 3 January 1985 and its implementing decree n°86.221 of 17 February 1986, and CRC regulation n°99-02 of 22 June 1999, as amended by ANC regulation 2020-01 of 29 December 2020.

The financial year ended 31 December 2025 will have a duration of 12 months, like the one ended 31 December 2024.

The closing date of the accounts for the consolidating company is the same as the closing date for the consolidated companies.

The consolidated accounts are presented in euros.

Changes in the scope of consolidation

No changes were made to the scope of consolidation during the financial year.

Accounting rules and methods

The accounts were approved by the Management Board on 20 March 2025. They were established on the basis of the company being a going concern and compliant with the consistency principle of accounting methods (from one financial year to the next).

Acquisition goodwill

Acquisition goodwill determined on initial consolidation of a company is equivalent to the difference between the cost of acquisition of shares and the proportion of equity withdrawn from the company on the date on which control was taken.

The acquisition cost includes the firm price and any earn-outs that are likely to be paid.

Positive goodwill is the difference between the cost of acquisition and the acquirer's share of assets and liabilities identified on the acquisition date. Positive acquisition goodwill is recorded in the "acquisition goodwill" asset account.

{12}------------------------------------------------

An impairment test is carried out at least once a year, regardless of whether there is any indication of impairment.

The impairment test consists of comparing the carrying amount with the value in use. Value in use is determined as the present value of future cash flows after tax.

When an impairment loss is identified, an impairment is recognised to write down the carrying amount of goodwill to its present value. Recognised impairment losses are never reversed.

Tangible and intangible fixed assets

Fixed assets are accounted for in accordance with ANC regulation 2023-04.

Fixed assets are valued at acquisition cost (purchase price, additional costs, excluding acquisition cost and loan expenses, net of reductions, discounts or rebates obtained) or at production cost.

Intangible fixed assets

Research and development costs

In compliance with regulation ANC 2023-04, development costs cannot be recorded as assets unless they relate to specific projects with a strong likelihood of both technical and sales profitability - or economic viability for projects developed over several years. This means adhering to the following criteria:

  • a) technical feasibility of the completion of the intangible fixed asset with regard to its implementation or sale;
  • b) intention to complete the intangible fixed asset and to use it or sell it;
  • c) capacity to use or sell the intangible fixed asset;
  • d) manner in which the intangible fixed assets will generate probable future economic benefits;
  • e) availability of resources (technical, financial and other) to complete the development and use or sell the intangible fixed asset; and,
  • f) capacity to reliably value the expenses attributable to the intangible fixed assets during development.

Development costs are mainly payroll costs and external subcontracting costs attributed to the development of new modules for the Sidetrade SaaS, improving existing versions, quality control and testing, and depreciation of related development assets.

Research costs based on prior analysis are recorded directly in expenses for the financial year. Development costs incurred prior to establishing the technical feasibility are recorded as a cost as and when incurred.

Development costs relating to the new version of the software

Development costs for the new version and previous versions of the software were recorded in accounts as intangible fixed assets where the Company considers that they meet the necessary criteria for activation. Activated development costs are amortized over three years which corresponds to the useful life of each version of the software.

Software

Purchased software is amortized on a straight line basis over a duration ranging from one to five years.

Customer relations

Two customer relationships were identified following an exercise to allocate the acquisition price of Amalto and CreditPoint in accordance with ANC regulation 2020-01. They are depreciated over 20 years.

{13}------------------------------------------------

Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets are accounted for at acquisition cost. Depreciation for tangible fixed assets is calculated based on the following methods and durations:

Useful life Method
Fixtures, general and specific installations Between 5 and 9 Straight line basis
years
Computing and office equipment Between 3 and 4 Straight line basis
years
Furniture Between 3 and 10 Straight line basis
years

Financial fixed assets

Financial fixed assets include deposits and guarantees paid, accounted for at nominal value and the share of the capitalized construction effort.

Cash allocated to a liquidity contract is accounted for in other financial fixed assets.

Treasury shares

The value of treasury shares is deducted from equity at purchase value.

Where shares are sold outside the Group, the income from the sale and corresponding tax are recorded directly in consolidated reserves.

Receivables and debts

Receivables and debts were valued at nominal value.

A provision for depreciation of customer receivables is recorded on a case-by-case basis when an event changes the net value of the receivable (i.e.: company in administration, etc.)

Asset adjustment accounts

Prepaid expenses

These are expenses paid or accounted for and attributable to the next financial year.

Accrued income receivable

These are receivables which are expected to be received in the next financial year and attributable to the financial year closed.

Investment securities

Investment securities are accounted for based on the historical cost method. A provision is recorded where a loss in value is recorded.

Recognition of turnover

The method for recognizing turnover and associated costs depends on the type of contracts entered into with customers.

• Provision of services

For Sidetrade SaaS integration activities, consulting, training or operational assistance, audit and contentious debt recovery, turnover is accounted for as and when services are provided.

• Sidetrade SaaS

The company markets its Sidetrade SaaS based mainly on annual or multi-annual subscription contracts or as maintenance services (when not included in the subscription contract for the service). As a result, the corresponding turnover is recorded monthly (subscriptions and overruns), based on the volume of transactions processed.

{14}------------------------------------------------

Research tax credit

Since the publication of Regulation 2020-01 on 9 October 2020, the income resulting from the research tax credit system, previously included in operating subsidies, must be presented as a decrease in the tax on profit in the consolidated profit and loss.

Provisions for risks and expenses

A provision is recorded when a Company commitment (legal, regulatory or contractual) exists as a result of past events, when it is probable or certain that it will result in an outflow of resources for no consideration at least equal in value, and the amount can be reliably valued.

The amount entered as a provision represents the best estimate of risk on the publication date of the consolidated balance sheet. Provisions are recorded at nominal value (not updated).

Retirement commitments

A provision for retirement and the related deferred tax are recorded in the consolidated accounts. This amount is based on an actuarial calculation on the employee population with the assumptions of staff turnover rates decreasing according to age. The applicable collective agreement is the Syntec agreement.

Deferred tax(ation)

The group calculates deferred tax based on the variable carry-forward method on the differences between accounting and fiscal values of assets and liabilities in the balance sheet. Deferred tax is recorded in accounts at the tax rate applicable on the publication date of the accounts, adjusted to take account of changes to French tax law and current tax rates.

Deferred tax assets are recorded based on differences in deductibility over time, tax losses and deficits carried over. A deferred tax asset on deficits carried forward is recorded when it is probable that the relevant tax entity can recover them through a forecast taxable profit.

Deferred tax assets are recorded as net assets or liabilities by tax entity.

At the end of June 2025, the applied tax rate is 25%.

Currency conversion method for integrated company accounts

When consolidated accounts for foreign companies are established in a currency other than in euro, the conversion method applied is "closing rate method".

Financial reports for foreign subsidiaries are established in their operating currency, the currency which is most representative of the given subsidiary's business activities.

Assets and liabilities are converted during the accounts closing process on the date of the balance sheet and the conversion for profit and loss accounts is based on the annual average rate.

Rate differences on long-term current accounts are entered directly in a translation reserve. As at 30 June 2025, a rate difference of -€612k was recognized in equity.

The conversion rates applied are:

Currency Opening rate Average rate Closing rate
GBP 0.8292 0.8423 0.8555
USD 1.0389 1.0930 1.1720
CAD 1.4948 1.5403 1.6027
