(1) The Company’s Board of Directors met on 13 September 2024 under the chairmanship of Benjamin Jayet and approved the Group’s half-year consolidated financial results. These financial statements are currently being audited, subject to a limited review by the company’s statutory auditors. The consolidated halfyear financial statements will be published before 30 September 2025.

Growth in payment volume and revenue 

In the 1st half of 2025, the volume of payments processed reached €4.6 billion, an increase of 5.7% compared to last year. All business units contributed to the growth.

Revenue growth (+3.7%) was impacted by a high basis of comparison in 2024 due to isolated items in the second quarter of 2024; restated for these items, the increase in underlying revenue was +7%. Significant growth in the Retail France and iGaming/Digital business units are particularly noteworthy.

Operating Profitability

EBITDA was €3.5 million, or 9.4% of revenue, and current operating income was €1.7 million. The current operating margin was down 3.7%, restated for isolated items in the second quarter of 2024, it showed a slight decline of 0.5%, the company benefiting from the continued positive effect of the indepth transformation actions underway for 2 years. The wage bill and overheads increased by +3.5%.

Non-current, financial and net income

Non-recurring operating expenses amounted to €0.3 million (vs. exceptional income of €2.7 million in the first half of 2024). Financial incomes decreased (-€0.3 million) due to the non-renewal of foreign exchange gains. Net income was down by €5.0 million to €0.4 million, representing 1.0% of sales.

Financial structure

The financial structure is strongly improving, with a healthy and sustainable debt. As of June 30th, 2025, cash and cash equivalents were up €11.5 million compared to June 30th, 2024 and down by €0.4 million compared to December 31st, 2024. Financial debt net of cash was down €9.7 million compared to June 30th 2024 and down €6.0 million compared to December 31st, 2024. Over the half-year, this was mainly due to cash generated by operations of +€2.4 million, an investment flow (Capex) of -€2.1 million, financial debt flows of -€4.8 million (including new medium/long-term borrowings of €0.6 million) and cash flows of +€4.0 million from the capital increase carried out in January 2025.

Outlook and forecast

The group anticipates a significant sequential acceleration in its business in the second half of 2025, thanks in particular to the ramp-up of new customers, the launch of new products and increased volumes of the end of the year.

The Group's sales projections for fiscal 2024 indicate growth of between 6% and 9% while remaining on its profitability known levels.
