A robust adjusted EBIT margin of 18.8%, driven by solid organic revenue growth of 7.4%

PARIS, Sept. 18, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- 

• H1 2026 delivered a robust revenue growth of +7.4% and an adjusted EBIT margin of 18.8% at CERS:

○  Revenue growth is coming from both segments : companion animal +10.0% and farm animal +6.7% with a strong contribution from our Supercharge platforms (excl. Thyronorm) which increased by around +12% at CERS
○  Solid volume/mix effect of ~+5.4%, completed by price increase of ~+2%
○  Operating margin increased by 0.5ppt compared to H1 2025 driven by a favorable mix effect on the gross margin partially offset by higher operating expenses due to H1/H2 phasing effects.

• Consolidated net income increased by +5.9% to €87.1 million
• Net Debt as of June 2026 up to €196 million compared to €173m as of December 2025 mainly driven by usual working capital requirement seasonality

2026 guidance confirmed at the upper end of the range: the strong performance achieved in the first half of the year positions us to target the upper end of our initial revenue growth range (5.5% to 7.5% at CERS) and an adjusted recurring operating income margin of around 17% at CERS

Paul Martingell, Chief Executive Officer statement

Guided by our 'Growing Together' 2030 strategy, we are fully on track to achieve our full-year guidance."

To be noted: EBIT Adjusted (before amortizations) corresponds to "recurring operating income before amortization of assets arising from acquisitions".
