Update on the
accelerated safeguard proceedings
of Bigben Interactive

Lesquin, 22 September 2026 – Bigben Interactive (ISIN FR0000074072) (the “Company”) recalls that, by a judgment dated 17 August 2026, the Commercial Court (Tribunal de commerce) of Lille Métropole opened accelerated safeguard proceedings (procédure de sauvegarde accélérée) for the benefit of the Company pursuant to articles L. 628-1 et seq. of the French Commercial Code, in connection with its financial restructuring (the “Accelerated Safeguard Proceedings”).

These proceedings follow the agreement in principle announced to the market on 4 August 2026, obtained by the Company from its principal creditors and subsequently formalised in a lock-up agreement (the “Lock-Up Agreement”) entered into with those same creditors, namely: holders of senior exchangeable bonds convertible into Nacon shares (the “Signatory Bondholders”) representing approximately 67.6% of the total outstanding principal amount of the bonds, the five lenders under the syndicated credit facility in respect of the outstanding balance thereof, representing 100% of the total amount thereof, the credit institutions benefiting from guarantees (cautionnements) or other personal sureties granted by the Company, and certain bank creditors of Nacon (the “Affected Guarantee Claims”).

The principal terms of this financial restructuring agreement, consistent with market practice, include in particular the commitment of the signatory creditors to support the financial restructuring of the Company, to vote in favour of the accelerated safeguard plan (plan de sauvegarde accélérée) and to execute the required contractual documentation. Each of them remains entitled to assign, novate or transfer its debt until the restructuring completion date, provided that the assignee is bound on the same terms by the Lock-Up Agreement.

Key principles of the financial restructuring agreement

  • New Money (between €55m and €60m):
    • Proceeds from the disposal of Bigben Connected for €35m at closing.
    • Capital increase with preferential subscription rights (augmentation de capital avec maintien du DPS) for cash in the amount of €25m, backstopped up to €20m by the converting creditors acting as backstop guarantors (Bondholders and Nacon banks guaranteed by Bigben).
  • Conversion of debt into redeemable bonds and equity (ORAR et capital):
    • Conversion into Bigben Interactive shares (€47.2m) and redeemable bonds (ORAR) (€26m with a 36-month maturity):
      • Convertible bonds (including the coupon due in February 2026), i.e. (€59.4m);
      • Outstanding balance of Nacon bank guarantees (cautions) provided by Bigben Interactive, i.e. (€13.7m).
    • It is noted that (i) the Nacon bank guarantees total (€20.8m) and have already been repaid in the amount of €5.9m within Nacon.
    • If Bigben Connected is disposed of prior to the issuance of the ORAR, the ORAR will not be issued. The disposal proceeds will be applied to repay: (i) the Bigben Hong Kong receivable (for €4m), (ii) the Métronic overdraft (for €1.3m) and (iii) the claims intended to be converted into ORAR, up to €26m, in the same proportions as would have applied under the ORAR.
  • Treatment of residual debt:
    • The Bigben Hong Kong credit facility of (€9.3m) is reinstated over 36 months with a partial repayment of €4m from the proceeds of the disposal of Bigben Connected.
    • The bank loan of (€3.2m) relating to the headquarters refurbishment works is repaid in accordance with the contractual amortisation schedule.
    • The Métronic France overdraft of (€1.3m) is repaid from the proceeds of the disposal of BBC.
    • The outstanding balance of the syndicated credit facility of (€0.9m) is written off without consideration and with a full and irrevocable waiver of recourse by the Group and the Bondholders.

Impact of the agreement on the financial liabilities of Bigben Interactive excluding Nacon

Principal terms of the capital transactions contemplated in connection with the Accelerated Safeguard Proceedings

Dilution of the shareholders of the Company following the capital increases

For the purposes of illustrating the dilutive effect of the contemplated capital transactions, it is assumed that, if no existing shareholder subscribes for Capital Increase No. 1 – DPS, only the Backstop Guarantors will subscribe thereunder pursuant to their respective backstop commitments, such that the amount of this capital increase will correspond to the amount backstopped by the Backstop Guarantors, being, as at the date of this press release, an amount of €20.00m.

The figures set out in the table above have been calculated as at the date of this press release on the basis of the share capital and voting rights of the Company as at 31 August 2026, and prior to the close of the Bondholder syndication period described below.

The Company therefore draws the attention of the market to the fact that the capital increases contemplated in the context of its financial restructuring will result in significant dilution for existing shareholders.

Participation of the Company in the financial restructuring plan of its subsidiary Nacon

It is recalled that, as at 31 August 2026, the Company holds 56.72% of the share capital and 68.74% of the voting rights of Nacon. Under the key principles of the financial restructuring agreement of Nacon (as published by Nacon in its press release available at the following link: https://corporate.nacongaming.com/espace-investisseurs/information-financiere-new/), the Company will subscribe:

  • for a capital increase with preferential subscription rights (droit préférentiel de souscription), as backstop guarantor, in the amount of € 16.00m; and
  • for a capital increase without preferential subscription rights, by way of set-off against the intra-group receivables it holds against Nacon, in a total amount of approximately €19.50m.

Upon completion of the capital transactions contemplated by Nacon’s restructuring plan, the Company will hold, depending on the level of participation by Nacon’s shareholders in the various capital transactions, approximately between 60.4% and 69.4% of Nacon’s share capital. For further information, reference should be made to the aforementioned press release.

Opening of a syndication period for the backstop commitment in respect of Capital Increase No. 1 — DPS

As specified in the press release dated 4 August 2026, and in accordance with the terms of the Lock-Up Agreement, the Signatory Bondholders and the holders of Affected Guarantee Claims (together, the “Backstop Guarantors”) have committed to backstop in cash (backstop) (the “Backstop Commitment”), on a pro rata basis relative to their holdings of Bonds and/or Affected Guarantee Claims, the capital increase with preferential subscription rights in a maximum amount of €25 million (“Capital Increase No. 1 — DPS”), up to €20 million, in consideration for the payment, on the restructuring completion date, of a backstop fee equal to 5% of the backstopped portion, being, as at the date of this press release, an amount of €1 million representing a dilution of 1.71% for existing shareholders (on a fully diluted basis, i.e. following completion of the capital transactions described above and assuming the definitive vesting of the entire MIP by its beneficiaries) (the “Backstop Fee”), it being specified that the Backstop Fee shall be payable in Bigben Interactive securities on the financial restructuring completion date.

The Company announces today the opening of a syndication period for this Backstop Commitment (the “Backstop Syndication”).

All holders of senior bonds exchangeable into existing ordinary shares of Nacon, issued by the Company on 12 February 2021 under ISIN FR0014001WC2, with a total outstanding principal amount of €57.4 million as at the opening date of the Accelerated Safeguard Proceedings (the “Bonds”), who have not signed the Lock-Up Agreement (the “Non-Signatory Bondholders”), are invited to participate in the Backstop Syndication.

The Backstop Commitment will be syndicated as follows:

  • the Non-Signatory Bondholders eligible for the Backstop Syndication shall be those holding Bonds as at 5 October 2026, 6:00 p.m. (Paris time) (the “Record Date
    ”). Accordingly, in the event of acquisition of Bonds on the market, the last trades must be settled no later than 1 October 2026 in order to be eligible to participate in the Backstop Syndication;
  • from the Record Date, the Non-Signatory Bondholders shall have a period of five (5) business days, expiring on 12 October 2026, 6:00 p.m. (Paris time) (the “Deadline”), to subscribe, on a pro rata basis relative to their holdings of Bonds as at the Record Date, for the Backstop Commitment.

All Non-Signatory Bondholders as at the Record Date wishing to subscribe for the Backstop Commitment are invited to formalise their commitment, prior to the Deadline, with Aether Financial Services, acting as syndication agent (the “Agent”). Non-Signatory Bondholders must identify themselves and provide proof of their bond holdings to the following address: bbi_obligation@aetherfs.com no later than the Record Date.

Non-Signatory Bondholders whose eligibility is confirmed by the Agent will receive an accession form for the Backstop Commitment and the Lock-Up Agreement (the “Backstop Accession Form”). In addition, Non-Signatory Bondholders as at the Record Date may, upon request, obtain additional information relating to the Backstop Syndication from the Agent.

Throughout the Backstop Syndication period, each Non-Signatory Bondholder as at the Record Date shall have the opportunity to subscribe, on a pro rata basis relative to its holdings of Bonds as at such date, for the Backstop Commitment with the Agent. Subscription for the Backstop Commitment in the context of the Backstop Syndication is conditional upon the concurrent delivery, by the relevant Non-Signatory Bondholder, of an accession letter to the Lock-Up Agreement appended to the Backstop Accession Form.

It is recalled that the Backstop Syndication is reserved exclusively for Bondholders.

Publication of prospective financial information and business plan

A presentation of the prospective financial information provided by the Company to its creditors and stakeholders in the context of its conciliation proceedings (procédure de conciliation), under a confidentiality agreement, together with the key elements of the business plan presented by the Company, is set out in the Appendix to this press release.

The Company confirms that any information that may qualify as inside information within the meaning of Regulation (EU) No. 596/2014 of 16 April 2014 on market abuse, which may have been disclosed on a confidential basis to its financial creditors and stakeholders under a confidentiality agreement in the context of the conciliation proceedings and the negotiations relating to the Lock-Up Agreement, has been published to the market, either previously or in this press release, for the purpose of restoring equal access to information relating to the group formed by the Company and its subsidiaries among all investors.

Next steps

The Company intends to continue its discussions with the Non-Signatory Bondholders as at the Record Date in order to obtain their subscription for the Backstop Commitment by the Deadline.

Under the supervision of the court-appointed administrators (administrateurs judiciaires) designated by the Commercial Court of Lille Métropole, the creditors and shareholders of the Company will be called upon to vote on the draft accelerated safeguard plan within classes of affected parties (classes de parties affectées), before the Court rules on its adoption during the fourth quarter of 2026.

It is recalled that, as at the date of this press release, the statutory accounts and consolidated accounts for the financial year ended 31 March 2026 have not yet been approved by the board of directors, and the Company has accordingly not yet published its universal registration document (document d’enregistrement universel).

It is further recalled that, in connection with the capital transactions described above, the Company intends to appoint an independent expert on a voluntary basis, pursuant to article 261-3 of the AMF General Regulation (règlement général de l’AMF), to opine on the financial restructuring and to deliver, in particular, a report containing a fairness opinion (attestation d’équité).

The capital transactions described in this press release will be the subject of prospectuses submitted for approval to the French Financial Markets Authority (Autorité des Marchés Financiers).

The financial restructuring transactions will subsequently be implemented following such adoption and are expected to be completed by the end of the first quarter of 2027.

The Company will keep the market informed in due course of the next steps of its financial restructuring, including the detailed timetable for the capital transactions to be carried out in the context of the Accelerated Safeguard Proceedings.

Appendix
Prospective financial information and business plan

Business Plan 2026-2032 – Key Drivers

  • Redefined perimeter: the Business Plan is based on a refocused perimeter following the disposal of Bigben Connected (BBC). This transaction is expected to be completed by the end of the 2026 calendar year.
  • Operational turnaround of subsidiaries: targeted turnaround plans are being implemented at Métronic France and Bigben Interactive. These focus on new go-to-market strategies, a shift towards higher value-added channels and headcount adjustments aligned with the revised commercial capabilities of each entity.
  • Optimisation of the holding company structure: the Bigben Interactive holding company is the subject of a restructuring plan aimed at aligning its cost base with the post-disposal perimeter, in order to achieve a sustainable reduction in overhead costs.
  • Flows with Bigben Logistics following the disposal of Bigben Connected (BBC): following the disposal of Bigben Connected, Bigben Logistics will continue to provide logistics services to BBC under a service agreement entered into between the parties. The associated flows have been calculated on the basis of historical activity levels.

Business Plan 2026-2032 – Projection

        

(*) The figures presented are subject to audit.
(**) Excluding depreciation and amortisation of fixed assets and non-recurring items

In March 2027, revenue (€63.2m) still includes six months’ contribution from BBC, which was disposed of at the end of September 2026 (perimeter effect). Over the March 2028–March 2032 period, revenue corresponds to the other Audio and Video subsidiaries, primarily Metronic. The Nacon intercompany flows represent operational intercompany flows (headquarters services, logistics).

Following the disposal of BBC, Adjusted EBITDA stands at (€1.9m) in March 2032, despite the holding company restructuring, the transfer of personnel and additional Bigben Logistics revenue. Including Nacon flows, Adjusted EBITDA would stand at €3.0m. As at March 2026, non-recurring items amounted to (€61k).

Cash position at end of March 2027 – Before / After financial restructuring


1 “Bonds” means the senior bonds exchangeable into existing ordinary shares of Nacon (ISIN: FR0014001WC2) issued by the Company on 12 February 2021.
2 “Affected Guarantee Claims” means claims against the Company in respect of personal guarantees (garanties personnelles) granted by the Company, held by credit institutions that are creditors of Nacon or its subsidiaries and that guarantee debts of Nacon or its subsidiaries.
3 It is specified that the allocation of Pre-existing Claims (€47.17m) between Capital Increase No. 2 – Non-Guarantors and Capital Increase No. 3 – Backstop Guarantors will be definitively determined at the end of the Bondholder syndication period; the allocation set out in this table reflects the information known to the Company as at the date of this press release; the subscription price for Capital Increase No. 3 – Backstop Guarantors may therefore vary at the end of the syndication period.
4 “Pre-existing Claims” means, collectively, (i) the Bonds and (ii) the Affected Guarantee Claims.

Equasens Activates the Business Continuity Plan
for its subsidiary ASCA in Chessy (France,77)

Villers-lès-Nancy, September 22, 2026, 5:45 p.m. CEST – Equasens (ISIN: FR0012882389 – Ticker: EQS), a leader in digital healthcare solutions, announces that the headquarters and warehouse of its subsidiary ASCA, a specialist in the deployment of electronic labeling solutions for pharmacies, were affected by a fire, the source of which has now been extinguished.

ASCA, a subsidiary of the Equasens Group, installs electronic labels in pharmacies. The company currently has more than 4,200 customers. Its Chessy facility, which covers approximately 800 sq.m., houses offices for 25 employees as well as the inventory and equipment needed for installations.

On the evening of September 21, 2026, a fire broke out at this site. No one was present, and there were no injuries. Operations to extinguish the main fire lasted all night, mobilizing more than 80 firefighters.

The building and the inventory stored inside were destroyed. The exact circumstances of how the fire started have yet to be determined and are currently the subject of standard investigations and expert assessments.

Activation of the Business Continuity Plan

Equasens activated its subsidiary’s Business Continuity Plan as soon as the incident occurred.

ASCA’s information systems (CRM, ERP, and line-of-business applications) were not affected, as they are backed up and hosted at the Group’s headquarters in Nancy.

A backup stock, already available on another of the Group’s storage platforms, will ensure business continuity over the next few days.

Furthermore, given the upcoming deliveries, the period during which operations will be completely suspended is expected to be limited to four weeks.       

The Group’s logistics capacities and channels are being reorganized accordingly, and manufacturers of labels and other materials are being mobilized to urgently launch new production runs.

Denis SUPPLISSON, CEO of Equasens, stated: “Our priority is to support our teams and minimize the impact of this incident on our customers as much as possible. No employees were injured, and our information systems and business applications remain fully operational. We immediately implemented our business continuity plan and mobilized all of the Group’s logistical resources to restore operations as quickly as possible. The next scheduled delivery, along with the acceleration of subsequent shipments, should enable us to minimize the disruption period as much as possible. We stand with our employees, our customers, and our partners.”

The 25 employees at the site are receiving support, and appropriate measures are being implemented (remote work, reduced working hours) as needed. The incident has been reported to the insurers, and experts have been called in to assess the consequences.

Equasens will keep the market informed of any significant developments in the situation.

Press release – Neuilly-sur-Seine, Tuesday, September 22, 2026 – 5.45 pm

AutOnom®, when the sun cools the warehouses

As periods of extreme heat become more frequent and intense, thermal comfort in logistics buildings is taking on a new significance. For ARGAN, a building’s environmental performance cannot be separated from the quality of life of the people who work there.

With AutOnom® – the warehouse that generates its own energy – ARGAN has been developing a new generation of logistics warehouses since 2022, combining solar power generation, electricity storage and high-performance electric heat pumps.
Together, these systems enable AutOnom® occupiers to meet their heating and lighting needs using renewable energy generated on site. This approach now makes it possible to go one step further: the same heat pump that provides heating in winter can also cool workspaces in summer.

From heating to cooling: one system for every season

Traditionally, heating in French warehouses still relies heavily on gas-fired boilers. AutOnom® replaces this carbon-intensive system with reversible air-to-water electric heat pumps, which capture heat from the outside air to warm water in winter and reverse their cycle in summer to cool the warehouse via unit heaters.
The building thus becomes a fully-fledged energy infrastructure serving both its operations and its occupants.

Up to 13°C cooler inside the warehouse, even when outdoor temperatures exceed 35°C

This summer, three ARGAN sites benefited from these systems, including the Bain-de-Bretagne (35) facility operated by the teams at BSL, part of the DIMOTRANS Group. Céline Chatelain, QHSE and CSR Director at DIMOTRANS Group, was able to assess the system’s effectiveness throughout the summer:

“We pay particularly close attention to our employees’ working conditions. In a logistics facility, periods of extreme heat can quickly become a major concern. AutOnom® provides us with a practical solution, and we were able to see its benefits from the very first heatwaves in June. While outdoor temperatures reached 40°C, the temperature inside our warehouse remained at just 26–27°C. The difference was immediately noticeable for our teams.”

“We want to provide our employees with a high-quality working environment while reducing the environmental impact of our operations. AutOnom® enables us to pursue both objectives without having to choose between them.
The heat pump provides year-round comfort, both in winter and summer, while photovoltaic generation and energy storage allow us to manage our energy consumption intelligently, supported by the Building Management System (BMS) tools integrated with the AutOnom® equipment.
Finally, in a context of highly volatile energy prices, the AutOnom® solution gives us greater predictability and control over our energy costs. The electricity generated by the solar panels covers the building’s cooling needs using renewable energy produced directly on site. Overall, we are very satisfied with this solution.”

Thermal comfort is no longer a secondary consideration in a warehouse. It is a key factor in quality of life at work and, consequently, in the building’s overall performance

Stephane Cassagne, ARGAN’s Director of Development and Asset Management: “For occupiers, thermal comfort is gradually becoming an integral part of their quality-of-work-life policies. Against this backdrop, having a building capable of maintaining comfortable temperatures, including during periods of extreme heat that are expected to become more frequent, is becoming an increasingly important consideration.”

“With AutOnom®, ARGAN is championing a vision of logistics real estate in which a building’s performance is no longer measured solely by its size or storage capacity, but also by its energy efficiency and the comfort it provides to occupants. These factors are becoming increasingly important drivers of value for property companies’ real estate portfolios.

AutOnom® thus embodies a new generation of logistics real estate: a building that generates its own energy, stores it, uses it intelligently, and contributes to the well-being of its occupants.”

Record Bookings in H1 2026

  • Sharp rise in bookings: +112% to €5.16M in new annual recurring subscriptions (ARR), 20% above the amount signed for full-year 2025
  • AI-native products: €1.02M in new ARR signed, representing 33% of the 2026 Q2 total

More Than 71% of Revenue Generated Outside France

  • Revenue up sharply: +21%, including +26% for subscriptions at constant currency (+19% and +23% as reported)

Double-Digit Growth in Profitability

  • EBIT: €5.7M, up 22% and 33% like-for-like (20.7% of revenue, versus 15.7% in H1 2025)
  • Net income: €4.7M, up 15%
  • Gross cash: €19.9M as of June 30, 2026
  • Sovereign AI, from GPUs to the natural-language interface

Sidetrade, an AI-native company dedicated to Order-to-Cash, reported strong growth in both its business and its profitability in the first half of 2026. First-half revenue reached €34.8 million, up 21% at constant currency (19% as reported), while EBIT rose 22% to €5.7 million and net income increased 15% to €4.7 million. This performance comes as Sidetrade accelerates its technology investment to provide customers with sovereign AI across the full stack, from its private cloud and its GPUs through to the natural-language interface for the end user.

2026 figures are unaudited consolidated data, approved by the Board of Directors on July 7, 2026.
* EBIT is operating income under French GAAP, including the Research Tax Credit (CIR).

Olivier Novasque, CEO and Founder of Sidetrade, stated:

“In the enterprise world, the question is no longer which AI model is best. It is which environment runs a company’s AI agents most effectively, for each use case, while upholding its standards of security, governance, and cost control. Let us be clear. It is by answering these legitimate demands with precision that AI deployment becomes a decisive competitive advantage, and delivers the expected return on investment. No serious finance department will deploy autonomous agents at scale with a general-purpose AI provider, without guarantees on governance or on production cost, in a market where the token price is likely to soar. That is exactly what we have built at Sidetrade for our customers: control of the full AI stack.. Our private cloud runs on its own GPU compute capacity, which secures data protection, visibility, and control over production costs. Our Data Lake consolidates nearly $10 trillion in B2B payment experiences, a strategic asset no Frontier Lab holds, one that enables us to train proprietary Order-to-Cash models and to pair them with open-source models. And our SAFE framework enforces security, governance, and the selection of the most cost-effective model for each agent and each use case. This end-to-end command is what separates a lasting competitive advantage from the technological trials that so frequently disappoint at scale.

In the first half of 2026, the record bookings speak for themselves. We won nearly all of the competitive tenders we entered, across every region, because we own the entire stack behind our AI-native products. We have every reason to believe this trajectory will continue in the months ahead. We control the data that feeds the intelligence, the models that produce it, the GPUs that run it, and the rules that govern how it acts. No prompt, no document, no customer data ever leaves our private cloud to be processed by a third-party model at a hyperscaler or a Frontier Lab. Our execution costs do not depend on the token prices of one provider, or several stacked in a chain.

On a like-for-like basis, excluding ezyCollect by Sidetrade, our gross margin improved from 77% to 78.4% in the first half. At the same time, we began deploying our own AI across every department, and the operating leverage is already evident. Despite the expected impact of ezyCollect by Sidetrade, our EBIT rose 22% over the period and reached 20.7% of revenue on a like-for-like basis, against 15.7% in the first half of 2025, a gain of 500 basis points in a single year. AI sovereignty is not judged by the provider’s nationality, nor by a data-protection guarantee alone. It is command of the entire AI stack, from the models to the compute to a predictable production cost, that allows any finance department to invest in AI at scale without the risk of losing control. That is the sovereignty we extend to our customers and to which we hold ourselves.”

Record Bookings in H1 2026

Bookings H1 2026 Change
vs H1 2025
New annual recurring subscriptions (ARR) €5.16 million +112%
Annual Contract Value (ACV) €9.30 million +58%
Total Contract Value (TCV) €18.71 million +194%

A breakdown by region, channel, and quarter can be found in the July 21, 2026 press release.

With €5.16 million in new annual recurring subscriptions (ARR) in the first half of 2026, up 112%, Sidetrade already exceeds its full-year 2025 total by 20%.

The bookings mix is shifting toward new customers in the first half of 2026. New Business now accounts for 56% of the total, up from 30% a year earlier, and the average initial commitment period lengthened from 44.5 to 48.8 months. Sidetrade is signing more new customers, on longer contracts.

North America accounted for 44% of first-half bookings for 2026, but only 27% of subscription revenue. This gap illustrates the region’s future growth potential.

Contracts signed in the first half of 2026 will begin to contribute more significantly to revenue from the fourth quarter of 2026. Total Contract Value (TCV) of signed contracts reached €18.71 million (up 194%), 53% above the full-year 2025 total. These contracts represent committed business that will be recognized as revenue over the coming years.

AI-Native Products: 33% of Bookings at Launch

Three months after launching its new generation of products, Sidetrade’s shift to AI-native is delivering early commercial traction. In the second quarter of 2026, Aimie Cash Collection Agent, Agent Builder Studio, and Aimie IQ generated €1.02 million in ARR, representing 33% of the €3.11 million in new ARR signed during the period. In total, 80 AI agents were placed on firm order, including 26 Aimie Agents and 54 Customer Agents. Agent Builder Studio enables customers and their partners to design their own agents, while Aimie IQ provides natural-language access to Sidetrade’s intelligence and orchestration capabilities.

These new AI-native offerings are sold as subscriptions that include set volume of tasks performed by the agents and “O2C IQ,” Sidetrade’s proprietary consumption unit for measuring generative AI usage. Customers therefore gain visibility into their AI costs without exposure to fluctuations in third-party token pricing.

Following this initial commercial phase, Agent Builder Studio and Aimie IQ are scheduled to enter production with beta customers in the fourth quarter of 2026.

Strong H1 2026 Revenue Growth: +21% at Constant Currency, Driven by Subscriptions up 26%
Sidetrade generated €34.8 million in revenue in the first half of 2026, up 19% as reported and 21% at constant currency. Subscription revenue grew faster, up 23% as reported and 26% at constant currency, to €31.3 million. Subscriptions now account for 90% of Group revenue.

This growth includes ezyCollect by Sidetrade, consolidated since the fourth quarter of 2025. Excluding ezyCollect by Sidetrade, organic subscription revenue grew 6%, reflecting the lower level of bookings recorded in 2025. The strong rebound in bookings since the start of 2026 is expected to begin contributing to revenue growth in the fourth quarter of 2026, with a progressively greater impact through 2027.

In the first half of 2026, more than 71% of Group revenue was generated outside France, while 73% of subscription revenue came from international markets. North America is now the Group’s largest region for subscriptions, accounting for just over 27% of subscription revenue, ahead of France. Asia-Pacific accounted for 16% of the total, driven by the integration of ezyCollect by Sidetrade.

Double-Digit Growth in Profitability

  • Robust gross margin at 74% of revenue (78.4% like-for-like): up 14%

In a still-demanding macroeconomic environment, gross margin totaled €25.7 million in the first half of 2026, up €3.1 million from the first half of 2025. The overall gross margin rate was 74% of consolidated first-half revenue (versus 77% a year earlier). On a like-for-like basis (excluding ezyCollect by Sidetrade), it reached 78.4% (up 1.4 points from H1 2025) and held steady at 89% for subscriptions, confirming the structural resilience of the Company’s model.

  • EBIT up sharply: up 22% (up 33% like-for-like)

EBIT reached €5.7 million in the first half of 2026, up 22% from €4.6 million in H1 2025, or 16.2% of first-half revenue (versus 15.7% a year earlier). On a like-for-like basis (excluding ezyCollect by Sidetrade), EBIT rose 33% with EBIT margin reaching 20.7% of first-half revenue, a gain of nearly 5 points from the first half of 2025.

This record like-for-like profitability demonstrates operating leverage in full effect. In a tight market where companies remain cautious about investment, Sidetrade drew on the momentum of its recurring revenue while cutting operating expenses by €1 million over the period. That cost discipline, particularly in R&D (helped by AI), sales and marketing, drove stronger operating efficiency.

The first-half 2026 operating margin also includes a €1.9 million research tax credit (CIR),versus €1.7 million in H1 2025, and a limited capitalization of R&D costs (€0.15 million, representing 2% of H1 2026 R&D expenditures).

Ultimately, the rise in EBIT to 16.2% (21% on a like-for-like basis, versus 16% in the first half of 2025) reflects continued gains in operating efficiency and a new profitability threshold.

First-Half Net Income up 15% to €4.7 million
The Group’s net financial result, close to zero in the first half of 2026 (versus €0.1 million in H1 2025), mainly reflects interest income from the short-term cash investments was largely offset by interest on borrowings.

Corporate income tax charge is estimated at €0.9 million for the first half of 2026, slightly higher than the €0.6 million recorded in the same period a year earlier, in line with the improvement in operating performance.

Overall, Sidetrade’s net income rose 15% to €4.7 million in the first half of 2026. The increase marks a new profitability milestone and confirms the Group’s ability to grow revenue and improve profitability at the same time, despite a challenging economic environment.

A Cash-Generative Model
In the first half of 2026, Sidetrade generated operating cash flow of €9.1 million (excluding the CIR timing impact), up sharply from €5.4 million in H1 2025 (excluding the CIR timing impact).

As of June 30, 2026, Sidetrade held gross cash of €19.9 million, up €3.6 million from December 31, 2025, excluding the calendar effect tied to the CIR refund. The Group also held 84,946 treasury shares, valued at €14.8 million as of June 30, 2026.

Financial debt stood at €28.0 million at the end of June 2026, mainly linked to financing the acquisition of ezyCollect by Sidetrade through a €25 million seven-year loan at 3.1%.

Sidetrade retains the flexibility to fund its investments and support its expansion, while maintaining a robust balance sheet.

Full Control of the AI Stack, from GPUs to the Natural-Language Interface
Sidetrade has built an integrated AI infrastructure that puts the five layers required to run its agents under its control (data, models, compute capacity, execution environment, and autonomous agents).

At the core of this infrastructure is Sidetrade’s proprietary Order-to-Cash Data Lake, which has aggregated $10 trillion in B2B transactions across 45 million buyer companies since 2015. It feeds specialized Order-to-Cash models that combine open-weight large language models fine-tuned by Sidetrade with its own predictive models for payment behavior, buyer risk, and the next best collection action.

These models run on Sidetrade’s own GPU compute (mainly NVIDIA H100 and H200 processors), inside its private cloud and interconnected data centers on both sides of the Atlantic. Sidetrade therefore controls the entire technical chain, from model training to execution, without relying on an external generative model provider. No customer prompt, document, or data leaves its private environment.

This control now extends to how agents act. Launched on September 10, 2026 (see press release), SAFE, the Sidetrade Agentic Framework for Enterprise, is the common execution layer across the Group’s AI-native products. SAFE selects the model suited to each task, governs agent autonomy, logs their actions, and triggers a deterministic escalation when human intervention is required. The infrastructure is certified ISO 27001, SOC 1 Type II, and SOC 2 Type II. Agents are validated against the OWASP Agentic Top 10 before going into production.

This end-to-end control also extends to the economics of its AI. The Group produces the consumption units of its generative intelligence, “O2C IQ,” on its own infrastructure, without depending on any third party’s per-million-token pricing.

On June 30, 2026, The Hackett Group® awarded Sidetrade its 2026 Innovation Award in the Technology Operations category, following an evaluation of demonstrated results (see press release).

The targets set out in the O2C Intelligence 2030 plan, published on April 7, 2026, are unchanged: more than 50% of revenue from AI-native products by 2030.
