By geographical area
The performance measured below corresponds to the location of our subsidiaries by geographic area and not according to the geographic location of our customers.
| in €M(evolution 25/24 in %) | Europe Africa | America | Asia Pacific | Holding |
| Turnover | 120.6 (+8.6%) | 36.0 (-11.9%) | 3.7 (-27.4%) | 0.0 |
| EBITDA | 12.9 (+40.0%) | 2.9 (-47.6%) | -0.1 (-92.6%) | 3.0 |
| Operating income | 7.8 (+66.4%) | 2.4 (-39.3%) | -0.7 (-64.0%) | 0.7 |
Differences are due to the rounding.
The Europe/Africa area (75.2% of turnover) saw strong growth in activity (+8.6%) across all BUs, as well as a sharp improvement in profitability (+40.0%). The year was marked by the implementation of strategic plans for the automotive and rail businesses.
The America area (22.4% of turnover) saw its profitability decline, mainly due to a deterioration in the currency effect (-€1.3 million over the financial year) and an unfavorable base effect for cabin interiors and R&D investments in the industrial segment.
The Asia-Pacific area (2.3% of turnover) began its recovery, marked by a significant reduction in losses. The decline in turnover is explained by a desire to refocus activities on intra-group business.

BUSINESS REVIEW
Digitization efforts have focused on improving the performance of the entire Group and will be a differentiating factor in the future.
BU Engineering, expertise that drives the Group 's profitability
Engineering BU leveraged its expertise to increase its market share.
Business Aviation, particularly in North America, performed well in 2025.
The Defense sector experienced strong growth thanks to support for aircraft in service and in production, as well as diversification with new customers.
Commercial Aviation returned to equilibrium, thanks in particular to better support for offshore companies and greater diversification with new customers.
BU Solutions, a year of investment despite an uncertain geopolitical and economic context
BU Solutions saw a slight decline in turnover due to the geopolitical context and experienced a drop in profitability linked in particular to currency fluctuations.
In 2025, investments in equipment (the development of a metal additive manufacturing plant, industrial improvements to the thermoplastic composite business, and R&D for the Aircraft Interior business) and currency fluctuations weighed on the profitability of the businesses but should bear fruit in 2026 at constant exchange rates.
Simulation activities are reducing losses. The cost reduction plan has begun to bear fruit. Commercial development has been penalized by the delay in public orders, but the rebuilding of the order book should enable better absorption of costs in the future. Efforts will continue in 2026 to return to profitability.
FINANCIAL STRUCTRURE
Significant improvement in GEARING
With equity of €67.0 million, the financial structure is very solid.
Debt stands at -€4.7 million excluding IFRS 16 (down by €8.0 million vs. 2024), representing negative gearing of 6.96%.
This improvement is mainly due to:
- Debt repayment of €6.4 million, including state-guaranteed loans (€0.7 million remaining as of December 31, 2025),
- The reduction in working capital requirements to 69 days of turnover (down by €3.7 million)
- The reduction in inventories (down by €2.4 million over the financial year).
Available cash amounted to €23.2 million, an improvement of €3.6 million.
As a reminder, the Group does not monetize accounts receivables (€36.2 million at the end of 2025).
These figures give the Group significant investment capacity for the future.
DIVIDEND PROPOSAL: €1,0
On March 10, 2026, the Board of Directors decided to propose a dividend of €1.00 per share, an increase of 4.2%, to the Annual General Meeting of May 12th, 2026.
PERSPECTIVES
After a year in 2025 focused on assessing the current situation and improving existing operations, the new management team will update its strategic plan by the time the half-year results are presented.
The investments made in 2025 in the Solutions BU point to an improvement in operating performance in 2026.
However, the Group remains vigilant regarding the economic and geopolitical environment.
The metal additive manufacturing plant at the Toulouse industrial site will be inaugurated at the end of H1 2026.
Over the next few years, the Sogeclair Group will continue to invest in the digitalization and automation of its processes. At the same time, the Group will work to maintain the highest standards in terms of cybersecurity and is committed to obtaining ISO 27001 certification.
Through the SOGECLAIR Academy, with its continuously expanding training base, the Group, which has been awarded the Happy Trainee label, affirms its desire to attract, develop, and retain the talent that drives its performance.
For several years, SOGECLAIR has been committed to implementing a Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) approach that involves all teams. It is important to note in 2025 the creation of a dedicated committee within the Board of Directors and the structuring of governance.
To better control its emissions, the Group has now decided to internalize and carry out its carbon assessment across the entire Group. It will cover the entire turnover and will be published in the next Non-Financial Report in April 2026
