THIRD-QUARTER 2026 TURNOVER

Successful new product launches and acceleration of international commercial partnerships

In the third quarter of 2026, Guillemot Corporation continued its commercial development and strengthened its strategic positions, driven by the success of multiple product launches and the ramp-up of its new international partnerships. Turnover came in at €34.7 million, temporarily impacted by logistical disruptions in Asia.

Q3 2026 highlights

• First positive effects of the strategic partnerships formed with two major new distributors — Changhong IT in China and PLAION in Europe — aimed at strengthening Thrustmaster’s distribution and ensuring greater availability of its product lines across all of these markets.
• Successful launch of the DJControl T10 controller in the United States in September.
• Strengthening of the Group’s industrial partnerships to implement diversified production solutions in Asia.

Geographical breakdown

Although it declined very slightly in the third quarter, the North American market remains robust and is well-positioned for the remainder of the year. The Group is strengthening its presence in the North American retail market by expanding its product listings with retailers including Walmart U.S., Walmart Canada, Best Buy Canada and Micro Center U.S.

In an environment that remains mixed, the European market is also showing encouraging signs of recovery, with renewed momentum — particularly in France, the United Kingdom, and the Benelux countries. The recovery remains more gradual in Germany than in other European markets.

Racing

The new T-GT III racing wheel, available for PlayStation®5, PlayStation®4 and PC at a recommended retail price of €699.99, will be launched on December 3, alongside the rollout of the Gran Turismo 7 Spec IV (part 2) update scheduled in December.

T-GT III is not only the first Direct Axial Drive bundle designed for Gran Turismo, but also the first bundle to include a load cell pedal set. Officially licensed by Sony Interactive Entertainment and Polyphony Digital, this racing wheel — with its iconic wheel rim — features Direct Axial Drive technology combined with Thrustmaster Harmony technology. It introduces new haptic effects, such as GEAR JOLT, which lets gamers feel every gear shift, and ENGINE ROAR, which recreates the feel of the engine’s vibrations through the chassis. This launch is part of Thrustmaster’s new partnership with the Gran Turismo World Series and marks the arrival of the Group’s fifth officially licensed Gran Turismo racing wheel.

The release of Forza Horizon 6 on PlayStation®5 on January 26, 2027, is expected to drive demand for racing accessories beginning in the fourth quarter of 2026.

Flight sim/Joysticks

The new T.Flight Hotas NEO joystick, released on October 2 and officially licensed for PlayStation®, XBOX and Ace Combat™ 8, has made an excellent start.

The October 28 launch of the new TCA Sky Yoke, compatible with PlayStation®/PC and XBOX/PC/mobile devices allows Thrustmaster to expand its lineup of products dedicated to civil aviation simulation by targeting the general aviation yoke market segment. This yoke offers the best value for money, providing piloting sensations that closely resemble those experienced in a real cockpit. As the only yoke compatible with PlayStation®5 and PC, it generated a lot of excitement at FSimUK 2026 in Bristol (United Kingdom), where a diverse audience — including flight enthusiasts, pilots and young users — was able to appreciate its many outstanding qualities.

Farming/Trucking

SimTask Truck-40 Add-On Kit — unveiled at Gamescom in Germany in late August and at 24 Heures Camions 2026 in Le Mans, France — was released on October 22, strengthening Thrustmaster’s presence in the fast-growing truck driving simulation market. This new wheel rim was one of the main attractions at the Group’s booth at Gamescom, meeting with an enthusiastic reception from visitors and highlighting Thrustmaster’s growing prominence in truck driving simulation. With this new accessory, Thrustmaster aims to build closer ties with the trucking simulation community, traditionally centered around PC gaming: two of the genre’s leading titles, Euro Truck Simulator 2 and American Truck Simulator, which already have millions of players worldwide, have been announced for PlayStation®5.

Hercules news

The launch of the new DJControl T10 controller has been a great success. Press coverage and feedback from the DJ community at the 2026 NAMM Show had already hailed it as “revolutionary and unprecedented”. Since its release, the product has been featured in numerous reviews and articles in specialist publications, including leading DJ website Digital DJ Tips (www.digitaldjtips.com), which described it as “Hercules’ most ambitious controller yet”. The DJ Tech Review website highlights the product’s flagship innovation, its 10-inch motorized platters.

Already sold out in the United States, with further shipments planned, DJControl T10 is seeing very strong pre-order demand in Europe, confirming the market’s enthusiastic reception of this new format. This new controller demonstrates Hercules’ ability to innovate and develop products in order to meet the expectations of even the most demanding DJs. DJControl T10 launched with Serato’s Stem Slip feature, which has been met with resounding acclaim from the DJ community.

Building on the success of DJControl Inpulse 200 MK3, released during the first half of the year, DJLearning Kit MK3 comes just at the right time to benefit from strong sales momentum ahead of the year-end holiday season.

The arrival of the Serato DJ software on iPhone and iPad marks a major step forward for the Hercules ecosystem, as its entire Serato-compatible PC/Mac product lineup is now also compatible with mobile devices. This new development will be a major boost for the range, particularly with respect to the DJControl Inpulse 200 MK3 controller and DJLearning Kit MK3.

Financial position at September 30, 2026

The Group’s financial position at September 30, 2026 remained particularly robust, with no debt and net cash of €17.5 million (excluding investment securities with a fair value of €2.3 million at September 30, 2026).

2026−2027 outlook

The Group anticipates stable turnover for fiscal 2026, and positive operating income representing approximately 5% of consolidated turnover. Building on its capacity for innovation, the Group is maintaining a high level of investment in research and development in order to support continued growth and further expand its positions across its markets in 2027.
