Paris (France) September 22, 2026, 5:45 p.m. - CRIT Group (FR0000036675 – CEN), a major player in temporary work and airport assistance in France and internationally, announces the results of its first half of the 2026 financial year. The accounts were approved by the Board of Directors meeting on September 22, 2026.

The limited review procedures are being carried out, and the limited review report is being prepared.

A semester of growth

Consolidated revenue for the first half of 2026 stands at € 1 666.4 million, compared to € 1 636.7 million, representing growth of 1.8% compared with the same period in 2025 (2.3% at constant scope and exchange rates). Despite the ongoing economic uncertainty, this growth confirms the resilience of operations in France and their improvement internationally.

Temporary work: Solid activity in France, with improvement confirmed internationally.

The Temporary work division (87.0% of total activity) reports revenue of € 1 450.3 million (3), representing organic growth of 2.7% compared to the first half of 2025. International operations account for nearly half of the division’s activity, illustrating the business's increasing geographic diversification.

France : +1,9% in organic TDA (4)

In France (52,2% of the division’s business), revenue for the half-year reached € 757.6 million, up 1.9% on an organic TDA basis (4) compared to the first half of 2025. In a stable market, this growth - driven primarily by performance in the automotive and aerospace sectors - demonstrates the Group’s ability to strengthen its market position despite persistently mixed demand.

International : +3,2% in organic TDA (4)

International (representing 47.8% of the division’s business), revenue for the half-year stood at € 692.8 million, marking an organic growth TDA (4) of 3.2% compared to the first half of 2025. Italy, which accounts for 60.4% of operations outside France, posted organic growth TDA (4) of 1.9% for the half-year, while the United States, representing nearly 16% of international business, maintained its momentum in an improving market. In that country, organic revenue growth TDA (4) came at 11.1% compared to the first half of 2025.

Airport services division: activity levels remain high

The Airport services division (13,4% of total activity) maintains high activity levels with revenue of € 223.3 million (3), stable compared to the same period in 2025. This performance is solid - given the less favourable economic environment - marked by the impact of the war in the Middle East.

Solid results and financial position

For the half-year, the Group’s EBITDA stands at € 60.5 million, compared to € 61.7 million for the same period in 2025, and remains well controlled at 3.6% of revenue.

The Temporary work division posted EBITDA of € 46.3 million (3.2% of revenue), slightly up compared to the first half of 2025.

In France, EBITDA stands at € 22.4 million, representing a margin of 3.0 % - stable compared to the first half of 2025.

Internationally, EBITDA rose by 7.6% to € 24.0 million, representing a margin of 3.5% (compared to 3.3% in the first half of 2025).

In the Airport services division, with activity remaining at high levels, EBITDA stood at € 14.2 million, representing a margin of 6.3%.

After taking into account net depreciation and amortization expenses up by € 1.1 million - directly linked to the transition to a greener airport equipment fleet - operating income stood at € 31.4 million, compared to € 33.7 million in the first half of 2025.

The financial result, positive at € 3.9 million, benefited from a favourable exchange rate effect on USD-denominated assets. After accounting for the tax charge of € 14.4 million, net income stood at € 21.4 million up 19% compared to the first half of 2025.

With operating cash flow of over € 58 million, € 720.3 million in shareholders' equity (+€ 6.7 million compared to the end of December 2025), and a net cash position (1) of € 166.1 million (+€ 31 million compared to the end of December 2025), the Group benefits from a further strengthened financial position, enabling it to continue its development from a strengthened financial position.

Outlook 2026

Despite limited visibility, the second half of the year is expected to follow the trend of recent months. In France, the Group continues to benefit from the diversity of its sector positions and the agility of its network. Internationally, the strong performance recorded in key markets is expected to be sustained. Finally, in the airport services, activity should remain at high levels, driven by the recurring nature of the business model and strong customer loyalty.
