The fiscal year was marked by exceptional growth, notably due to a significant rebound in the fourth quarter, supported by high-profile "Jumbo events" of global scale such as the Osaka World Expo, the first milestones of the Milano Cortina 2026 Olympic and Paralympic Games, and the Asian Games in Aichi Nagoya. The successful management of venues like the Stade de France and the deployment of the GL events model at Parc Chanot in Marseille also contributed.

Thanks to its investments and rigorous cost management, the group continues to improve its operational profitability. EBITDA rose by 8% in 2025 to €250 million, with a margin of 14.5%, up by 30 basis points.

The group's recurring operating income (ROC) increased by 16% to €176 million. This operational success is also reflected in a continuous improvement of ROCE, up 1.9 points compared to 2024 and +2.8 points compared to 2023. Net debt stands at €471 million, a reduction of €46 million.

The group share of net income for 2025 grew by 12% to €86 million.

Earnings per share (EPS) rose by 12% in 2025 to €2.88, reflecting a significant increase in value created for shareholders. The Board of Directors will propose a dividend payment of €1 per share for the 2025 financial year, an increase of 11% compared to the dividend paid for the 2024 financial year.

Looking ahead, despite a persistently unstable geopolitical environment, GL events anticipates another year of growth driven by its GL events Live and GL events Venues activities:

- revenue growth at constant exchange rates and scope of over 8%;

- growth in operating income;

- a capex program of around €80 million.

Furthermore, excluding ongoing or finalized external growth operations, the group's net debt is expected to continue to decline slightly, and financing ratios should improve. In parallel with the publication of its annual results, GL events announces it is "awaiting approval from the Competition Authority to finalize the acquisition of regional event venue management activities and the Salle Pleyel in Paris from Fimalac Entertainment."

At the same time, the Fimalac group plans to take an approximately 1% stake in GL events' share capital, rather than the initially considered entity Polygone SA.

In addition, the Board of Directors, on the proposal of the CEO and following a favorable opinion from the Nominations and Remuneration Committee, has decided to appoint Sylvain Bechet as Deputy Chief Executive Officer, holding a corporate office. In his new responsibilities, he will oversee the group's support functions, in addition to his current duties as Chief Financial and Investment Officer.
