Our people’s safety and engagement remain a clear foundation for our performance.

In a demanding environment marked by supply chain constraints, inflationary pressures and foreign exchange headwinds, our focus remains on operational discipline, cash management and the gradual improvement of our industrial performance. We are continuing to invest in our platform, our people and our capabilities to build a more resilient Group, aligned with our customers’ needs and positioned to support their long-term growth.

Latecoere’s unaudited financial results for the H1 period ended June 30, 2026, reflects the general increased level of production in the aeronautical sector as a whole. Revenues amounted to €431.6 million reflecting organic revenue growth of 19%. Actual growth including the effect of the disposal of MADES in August 2025 was +15.2%. This underlying increase in revenues was driven by higher production rates from OEMs, additional revenue from new business wins and the conclusion of commercial initiatives.

The Group reported recurring EBITDA of €3.7 million in the first half of 2026, compared with €22.3 million in the first half of 2025. The decline in underlying profitability reflects investment in short-term resources to support the significant increase in customer demand as well as continued inflationary pressures, increasing order lead times and ongoing supply chain disruptions. The investment in these resources will enable continued growth in H2 2026 and 2027 and management expects productivity to improve in H2 2026. However, given the complex global macro environment with the ongoing Iran crisis and high oil prices, Latecoere is cautious on the knock-on raw materials and energy inflation impact ahead both in H2 2026 and looking towards 2027.

The group has also suffered from adverse foreign currency movements with the medium-term trends of weakening US Dollars and strengthening Mexican Pesos and Brazilian Real against the Euro.

Latecoere’s net financial result amounted to -€7.9million in H1 2026, compared with -€16.3 million in H1 2025, reflecting similar net interest cost on the PGE loans and other indebtedness outstanding during the period but with lower unrealised exchange losses on foreign currency denominated debt in H1 2026.

The Group’s net result for H1 2026 amounted to -€23.5 million, compared with -€6.8 million for H1 2025.

Operating free cash flow from continuing operations amounting to (€5.6) million outflow primarily reflects:

• The recurring EBITDA of €3.7 million.
• Non-recurring cash costs of €0.1 million primarily related to the ongoing transfers of work and related restructuring offset by the gain on the disposal of our plant in Labege, France.
• Further investments of €6.3 million into capital expenditures.
• A net increase in total working capital of €1.9 million; and
• Tax payments of €1.5 million

At the end of June 2026, cash and cash equivalent stood at €45.6 million. The net debt at the end of June 2026 stood at €162.6 million (excluding the Retour a Meilleur fortune (‘RMF’) obligation of €7.2 million).

New Segmental reporting

On July 1, 2025, the group formalized a transformation towards a more integrated and customer-centric organization. The new structure moves from a product-oriented structure to an integrated matrix model, combining the product approach and the geographical approach and where regions focus on serial production of Aerostructures and Interconnection Systems activities for OEMs according to customer location. Latecoere Services presents a global offering with two platforms to serve its customers: Toronto Canada and Los Angeles US for American customers and Toulouse France for other customers worldwide. These organizations now form the backbone of the Latecoere group.

In accordance with IFRS, the Group applied this new segment structure prospectively, starting with the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025. Therefore, the Group's historically defined business segments were modified to reflect the Group's new organizational structure. The Group now operates through the following four activities: Aerostructures, Interconnection systems, Latecoere Services and Space, but only segmentally report Aerostructures, Interconnection System and Latecoere Services, as the Space business does not individually exceed any of the thresholds defined by IFRS. For the H1 period ended June 30, 2026 the Group’s new segments reported the following results:

New Definition (€ million)		Aerostructures		Interconnections Systems		Latecoere Services		Total Group
Consolidated revenue		237,0		139,2		55,3		431,6
Recurring EBITDA		-25,6		16,0		13,3		3,7
Recurring EBITDA margin on revenue		-10,8%		11,5%		24,1%		0,8%

Aerostructures

Revenue for Latecoere’s Aerostructures Division increased by +16.6% on a reported basis vs 2025. The segment’s activity benefited from increased production rates and the benefit of commercial initiatives concluded in 2025 and beginning of 2026.

The division’s recurring EBITDA amounted to a loss of (€25.6) million, representing a significant decline from the €5.6 million reported in the prior year. This reflects an investment in short term resources to support the significant increase in customer demand as well as continued inflationary pressures, increasing order lead times and ongoing supply chain disruptions. The supply chain disruptions and lower initial productivity in the ramp up period has led to costs outpacing deliveries and hence margin compression. The Aerostructures Division has also been significantly affected by the adverse foreign currency movements with the medium-term trends of weakening US Dollars and strengthening Mexican Pesos and Brazilian Real against the Euro. Through conscious focus on cost control, productivity improvements, pricing discussions with customers and the continuation of the ramp up, the Group expects to return normal margins in the remainder of 2026.

Aerostructures (€ million)		Jun 30, 2026		Jun 30, 2025
Consolidated revenue		237,0		203,2
Reported growth		16,6%
Recurring EBITDA		(25,6)		5,6
Recurring EBITDA margin on revenue		-10,8%		2,8%

Interconnection Systems

Revenues of €139.2 million a significant growth of 16% compared with 2025 on a reported basis. Underlying growth, considering the effect of the disposal of MADES in August 2025, is approximate 30%. This underlying performance reflects growth in both European and American programs and a richer mix of configuration types year over year.

Recurring EBITDA for the Interconnection Systems division reached €16.0 million, an increase of €8.3 million from €7.7 million from the prior year. Removing the effect of the MADES disposal, the underlying recurring EBITDA grew by €9.9 million, which is approximately 2.6 times the previous year’s level, reflecting tight costs control, and better commercial terms and conditions achieved with customers plus improved product configuration mix.

Nevertheless, the group had to invest to support certain programs experiencing significant increase in customer demand, inflationary pressures, increasing order lead times and ongoing supply chain disruptions. The supply chain disruptions and low initial productivity in the ramp up period for these programs has led to costs outpacing deliveries. The Interconnection Systems division has also been affected by the adverse foreign currency movements with the medium-term trends of weakening US Dollars and strengthening Mexican Pesos against the Euro.

Interconnection Systems (€ million)		Jun 30, 2026		Jun 30, 2025
Consolidated revenue		139,2		120,1
Reported growth		16,0%
Organic growth		29,9%
Recurring EBITDA		16,0		7,7
Recurring EBITDA margin on revenue		11,5%		6,4%

Latecoere Services

Revenues of €55.3 million delivering a growth of 7.8% compared with 2025 on a reported basis. This performance reflects growth in both European and American aftermarket and services market, key contract wins and better commercial terms.

Recurring EBITDA for the Services division reached €13.3 million, an increase of €4.4 million from €8.9 million from the prior year reflecting volume growth, tight costs control, and better commercial terms and conditions achieved with customers.

Latecoere services (€ million)		Jun 30, 2026		Jun 30, 2025
Consolidated revenue		55,3		51,3
Reported growth		7,8%
Recurring EBITDA		13,3		8,9
Recurring EBITDA margin on revenue		24,1%		17,4%

2026 Outlook

Inflationary pressures and challenges arising from operating within a constrained aerospace supply chain are continuing in 2026. OEM volume growth for commercial, business jet and defense market sub-segments continue to significantly ramp up and improve overall revenue, but the ramp-up in activity results in challenges and cost pressures for the whole industry, as precisely experienced by Latecoere in H1 2026. To alleviate these challenges, Latecoere continues to invest in its operating platform, people and geographic footprint, creating a more resilient business model better positioned to grow with customer requirements and it will continue to monitor its liquidity and key operating metrics very closely. We expect to see further improvements in profitability and cash flow resulting from increased volumes and the focus on improving operational efficiency across all parts of the business versus H1 2026. We are also convinced that the business is well positioned to capitalise on the continuing, strong market demand for civil, military and space products and from the strong prospects for our customer services and after-market business. Latecoere's outlook for FY 2026 includes:

• Continued volume growth across most major programs
• A full year effect of the operational and commercial initiatives started in H1 2026 plus improving productivity and cost control in H2 2026
• Continued cost inflation across bill of materials and labour cost but largely counterbalanced by (i) new commercial negotiation; (ii) restricting indirect operating costs whilst accommodating volume growth; and (iii) delivering cost savings from our value creation programs.
• Notwithstanding our last press release, given all the factors cited above along with our H1 2026 operating performance, we now forecast lower underlying profitability / Recurring EBITDA than the level achieved in 2025.
• This deterioration of the profitability as well as the working capital needs to support the ramp ups will lead to a marginal decline in operating free cash flow compared that generated in the prior year.
