Nicolas Chartier and Guillaume Paoli, co-founders⁵ of Aramis Group:

"Thanks to our unique value proposition and highly engaged teams, we once again recorded sustained growth and significant margin improvement in the first half of 2025. We sold a record number of cars, with nearly 61,000 vehicles sold to private customers, demonstrating the strong momentum of our business. Customer satisfaction scores remain at remarkable levels, reflecting the strength of our commercial development and service quality. Combined with our positive profitability momentum, our operational excellence has enabled us to generate strong cash-flow. Finally, we have made solid progress in deploying our strategic plan, presented in late November 2024, illustrated by the unification of our brand platforms and visual identity in all our geographies. Our strengths and these solid results allow us to approach the second half of the year with confidence and confirm all our objectives for 2025."

By segment

By country

Analysis of the change in revenues by segment

B2C – sales of cars to private customers (89% of revenues)

B2C segment revenue – corresponding to sales of refurbished and pre-registered cars to private customers – reached €1,078.4 million in the first half of 2025, up +11.8% compared to the first half of 2024, including +10.2% volume effect and +1.4% price effect.

Revenue from the refurbished cars segment reached €806.5 million, up +10.3%, including a volume effect of +11.1% and a price effect of -0.7%. This double-digit organic growth trajectory is in line with Aramis Group's objectives for 2025.

Revenue from the pre-registered cars segment amounted to €271.9 million, up +16.5% compared to the first half of 2024, including a volume effect of +7.3% and a price/mix effect of +8.5%. The momentum during this semester was supported by Cardoen's performance in Belgium, which benefited from the same catch-up effect as France in the previous semester. This evolution occurs in a market context that, after a gradual normalization phase, is stabilizing in line with our expectations.

Aramis Group once again demonstrates the quality of its value proposition as an integrated player, capable of purchasing more vehicles, reconditioning them more efficiently, and serving an ever-growing number of customers in Europe. The Group continues to gain market share in the segment of vehicles under 8 years old, outperforming it by 12 points in the first half of 2025.

B2B – car sales to professional customers (6% of revenue)

B2B segment revenue amounted to €73.8 million in the first half of 2025, down -3.4% compared to the first half of 2024, due to a decline in average selling price. B2B segment activity, largely correlated with the volume of vehicles purchased from private customers, has now stabilized.

Services (5% of revenue)

Revenue generated by services reached €61.2 million in the first half of 2025, up +7.2% compared to the first half of 2024, driven by B2C volume growth. The penetration rate of financing solutions offered by Aramis Group is stable at 44%.

Analysis of the change in revenues by country

 By geography, revenue generated in France in the first half of 2025 reached €519.5 million, up +8.7%. This solid growth is mainly driven by the momentum in refurbished vehicle sales, with volumes increasing by +17.1%.

In Belgium, revenue reached €165.4 million, recording a significant increase of +18.9%, driven by a catch-up effect in the pre-registered vehicles segment, with volumes up +40.9%.

In Spain, revenue reached €162.0 million, representing solid growth of +7.7% compared to the first half of 2024, despite the flooding of the Valencia sales point in October 2024. The Valencia site reopened on May 5, 2025.

Revenue generated in the United Kingdom reached €254.5 million, representing remarkable growth of +19.0%, driven by a +14.7% increase in volumes sold during the semester.

In Austria, revenue reached €98.1 million, down -5.2%, reflecting an unfavorable base effect following an exceptional 2024 year that benefited from one-off sourcing opportunities.

In Italy, volumes sold to private customers decreased by -4.8% during the period, while revenue increased by 1.7%, below the group's expectations. Including deliveries to other group entities, total volumes sold by the entity increased by +37.7%, with Italian vehicles being marketed in other group countries through our internal marketplace.

INCOME STATEMENT

Condensed income statement⁶

Gross profit

In the first half of 2025, the gross profit reached €141.1 million, a significant increase of +18.6% compared to the first half of 2024. Gross profit per B2C vehicle sold (GPU) reached €2,317, consolidating Aramis Group's position as a European benchmark⁷.

This improvement results from:

• the Group's ability to select the best vehicles for its customers, thanks to its diverse sourcing channels and unique technologies;
• the improvement of its service offering;
• the reduction in reconditioning costs, with better absorption of fixed costs and continuously improved processes.
  
  
  
  

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA reached €32.8 million in the first half of 2025, compared to €16.2 million in the first half of the previous year.

Aramis Group maintains its discipline in managing selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A), which grew at half the rate of volumes sold. Marketing expenses amounted to €17.2 million, down -6.7% on unit cost terms (COCA).

Operating income

Operating income for the first half of 2025 came to €15.4 million compared to -€7.7 million in the first half of 2024.

In addition to adjusted EBITDA, operating income includes:

• +€0.3 million in acquisition-related personnel expenses, compared to -€6.4 million in FY24. These expenses correspond to the provisioning of the earn-out payment for the Onlinecars acquisition and the exercise of the Motor Depot purchase option. This decrease in expenses is explained by the downward revision of the price to be paid for exercising the Motor Depot purchase option, which decreased from £36 million to £30 million;
• -€2.0 million in share-based payment personnel expenses;
• restructuring costs of -€0.2 million;
• depreciation and amortization of -€15.6 million (including -€7.4 million related to IFRS 16).

Net income

Net income for the first half of 2025 was positive at €6.4 million compared to -€13.3 million in the first half of 2024.

It includes:

• financial result of -€4.6 million, including net financial debt cost of -€2.4 million, financial expenses on lease liabilities (IFRS 16) of -€2.2 million;
• corporate income tax totaling -€4.4 million.

CASH-FLOW AND FINANCIAL STRUCTURE

Inventories and operating working capital requirements

 Operating working capital amounted to €157.5 million. This represents 24 days of revenue as of March 31, 2025, an improvement of 3 days compared to March 31, 2024.

This evolution particularly demonstrates the Group's good inventory management, which has continued its work on accelerating turnover across all geographies.

Cash position

 Net debt amounted to €47.4 million as of March 31, 2025, compared to €61.0 million at the end of September 2024, representing a reduction in net debt of €13.6 million, which breaks down as follows:

• +€23.7 million in cash generation, driven by EBITDA contribution, working capital reduction, and controlled CAPEX. As a reminder, CAPEX mainly consists of investments in the Group's information systems, increasingly mutualized, hence the reduction compared to FY24;
• -€7.0 million payment for the Onlinecars earn-out, made in March 2025 as planned;
• -€3.1 million in share buybacks as part of our plan to cover the performance share plan.
  
  
  
  

Aramis Group's balance sheet ratios thus remain very healthy. As of March 31, 2025, the Group has undrawn and unconditional credit lines of approximately €200 million. Furthermore, the Group has renegotiated the terms of some of its credit lines with Stellantis, converting short-term credit lines or those with fixed maturities in 2026/2027 into a credit facility that can be drawn at any time for a maximum duration of 3 years, amounting to €100 million.

OUTLOOK

In a macroeconomic environment marked by high volatility, the group remains prudent and vigilant while anticipating relative stability in the used vehicle market, supported by Europeans' mobility needs.

In this context, Aramis Group confirms its objectives for fiscal year 2025:

• double-digit organic growth in refurbished vehicle volumes;
• high single-digit organic growth in total B2C vehicle volumes;
• adjusted EBITDA exceeding €65 million;
• progressive improvement in operating working capital, expressed in days of revenue.
