* Pre-audit figures

Aubay reported third-quarter 2025 revenue of €160.1 million, up sharply by 23.9%, benefiting from the consolidation of Solutec from July 1, 2025, and an acceleration in organic growth, which came out at 3.0% for the period, outperforming the end-July guidance. France stood out for its strong performance, while internationally, Italy and the Iberia region also swung back to growth.

Revenue for the first nine months of the year amounted to €429.1 million, up 6.9%.

France: sustained growth and a successful start to the integration of Solutec

Activity levels in France continued to improve, with organic growth coming out at 6.3% in the third quarter despite there being one less billable day. This positive trend is underpinned by stronger demand in financial services as well as strategic project wins. Other indicators are also performing well, with net recruitment now positive for three consecutive quarters, consultant productivity rates stable and satisfactory, and selling prices still on the rise. The integration of Solutec as from July 1 has significantly strengthened the French scope, bringing reported growth to 46.3%. The integration process is going smoothly, with commercial and operational synergies beginning to produce their first tangible effects, in terms of both performance and team cohesion.

International: gradual improvement

For the International segment, consolidated revenue amounted to €61.5 million, down slightly by 0.5% but representing a clear improvement in the region's performance over the period, following a 4.4% decline in the first half. Italy and the Iberia region swung back to growth, with several indicators trending upwards (an increase in calls for tender, net recruitment and price rises). In Belgium and Luxembourg, however, the performance remained less dynamic.

Headcount and activity indicators

On September 30, 2025, the Group had 8,999 employees. On a like-for-like basis, the third quarter was the best quarter of the year so far in terms of net recruitment, with no deterioration in productivity, confirming Aubay's strong business momentum.

Productivity rates reached 94.0% in the third quarter, virtually unchanged year on year, compared with 92.8% for the first half of the year.

Outlook for full-year 2025

Based on these solid results and a good start to the fourth quarter, the Group is confident in its performance for the full year and is therefore sharpening its guidance to the upper end of the range. The Group now expects revenue of between €600 million and €608 million and an operating margin from ordinary activities of between 8.5% and 9.0%.

Aubay will publish its full-year 2025 revenue on Wednesday, January 28, 2026 after trading.
