Appendix | Alternative Performance Measures (APMs)
In accordance with the Guidelines of the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) on Alternative Performance Measures (ESMA/2015/1415), the Group provides below the definition, calculation method, and reconciliation with the consolidated financial statements for the alternative performance measures used in this press release.
These indicators are not measures defined by IFRS standards and may not be comparable to those used by other companies. The definitions and calculation methods are applied consistently from one period to the next.
1. EBITDA and EBITDA margin
Definition: Revenue generated from the Group's ordinary activities, as presented in the consolidated financial statements (IFRS).
Calculation method
EBITDA = EBIT + depreciation, amortization and impairment charges
EBITDA margin = EBITDA / Revenue
Reconciliation with the financial statements (2025 financial year – unaudited figures)
| 2025 | unaudited figures in €m |
|---|---|
| EBIT | 32.2 |
| +Depreciation, amortization and impairment charges | 10.7 |
| EBITDA | 42,9 |
| Consolidated Revenue | 357.7 |
| EBITDA margin | 12.0% |
Role of this indicator
EBITDA is a commonly used indicator to assess the Group's operating performance independently of its investment and financing policies.
2. Organic Growth (at constant scope and exchange rates)
Définition
Organic growth measures the change in revenue between two comparable periods:
- at constant scope (excluding acquisitions and disposals carried out during the period),
- at constant exchange rates.
Calculation method
Organic growth = (Adjusted revenue for period N – Adjusted revenue for period N-1) / Adjusted revenue for period N-1
The revenue figures compared are adjusted in order to neutralise:
- the effects of changes in scope,
- the effects of exchange rate fluctuations.
Reconciliation
| 2025 | unaudited figures |
|---|---|
| Organic Growth on a like-for-like basis at constant exchange rates | +12.3% |

Appendix | Alternative Performance Measures (APMs)
Role of this indicator
Organic growth differs from reported revenue growth as it neutralizes the effects of acquisitions and disposals carried out during the period.
This indicator enables the analysis of the Group's business evolution independently of acquisitions, disposals, and exchange rate fluctuations.
3. Backlog (in months of activity)
Definition
The backlog corresponds to the volume of secured business based on signed contracts that had not yet been delivered as of the reporting date.
In the Group's communications, the backlog is expressed in months of activity based on expected revenue.
Calculation method
The backlog is estimated by comparing the volume of secured or ongoing commercial activity at the reporting date with the expected average revenue.
It includes:
- Signed orders (weighted at 100%),
- Verbal commitments (weighted at 80%),
- Ongoing tenders with a shortlist (weighted at 50%).
The backlog includes estimates based on the status of commercial processes and may differ from the activity ultimately delivered.
Reconciliation
As of 31 December 2025, the Group's backlog represents 21.7 months of activity, based on the 2026 revenue objectives.
Role of this indicator
This indicator provides a forward-looking view of the Group's future level of activity and helps assess the Group's commercial visibility.
