ANALYSIS
The 2025 financial year concludes with results fully aligned with our commitments, driven by double-digit growth and an EBITDA level in line with our objectives.
This performance confirms the strength of our model and the consistency of our execution throughout the year.
In the fourth quarter, activity remained in line with the trends observed since the beginning of the year, maintaining a stable and well-managed level of operations.
Several recent contract wins have contributed to increasing our backlog, particularly in the United Kingdom, the Benelux region, and Spain. The backlog now represents 21.7 months compared with the revenue of the 2026 budget.
These contributions strengthen our visibility over upcoming fiscal years.
OUTLOOK
The 2026 budget anticipates 12% organic growth.
The divestment of Tipik will need to be compensated through external growth operations.
AGENDA
The annual meeting to present the 2025 results and the 2026 outlook will be held on 12 March in Paris Fragister now
