Sébastien Baril, SergeFerrari Group’s Chairman of the Executive Board, states: “The first half of 2026 demonstrates our ability to consolidate our financial performance in a particularly challenging environment. Despite a geopolitical situation that has weighed on some of our markets and rising prices for many raw materials, we have maintained our level of profitability compared to last year.
At the same time, our financial position remains under control, with net debt down year-over-year, thanks to the efforts we have made to improve the management of our working capital needs and to make the cost structure of our manufacturing facilities more flexible, as evidenced by the decision to close the Tersuisse manufacturing site. These results reinforce our goal of consolidating the Group’s financial performance in 2026.”
Activity for the first half of 2026
The Group reported revenue of €177.9 million in the first half of 2026, which remained relatively stable both on a current scope and currency basis (-0.5%) and on a constant scope and currency basis (-0.2%).
Revenue by geographic region is as follows:
- Europe: Sales rose by 4.8% on a current scope and exchange rate basis (4.7% on a constant scope and exchange rate basis), driven by the company’s traditional markets: Sun Protection, Marine, and Furniture as well as by growth in Solutions and Distribution activities.
- Americas: Revenue declined by 27.2% on a reported basis (-24.1% at constant scope and exchange rates). This change reflects an unfavorable currency effect and a challenging base effect, with business activity being particularly strong in the first half of 2025.
- Asia – Africa – Middle East – Pacific: Revenue declined by 2.4%, due to the geopolitical situation and difficulties in delivering certain goods to several countries in the Middle East.
Maintaining operating profitability and improving the financial structure
Optimization of the industrial base
As part of its ongoing efforts to optimize its industrial footprint, SergeFerrari Group has ceased industrial operations at the Serge Ferrari Tersuisse site in Emmenbrücke, specialized in PET spinning.
The closure process is proceeding according to the Group’s schedule. The non-recurring costs associated with this restructuring amounts to €1.5 million.
Financial Performance
Against a backdrop of stable revenue, SergeFerrari Group reported EBITDA of €19.4 million for the first half of 2026, in line with the first half of 2025 (€20.1 million).
The Group has maintained this level of profitability despite a particularly challenging environment, marked by both geopolitical tensions and rising prices for all petroleum-based raw materials. Effective cost management and the optimization of the industrial base have helped the Group withstand these pressures and maintain its operating performance.
EBIT totaled €13.4 million, compared with €15.3 million in the first half of 2025. This figure includes €1.5 million in non-recurring expenses, primarily related to the restructuring costs of Serge Ferrari Tersuisse.
Net income came in at €6.8 million, compared with €8.0 million in the first half of 2025.

In the first half of 2026, SergeFerrari Group generated operating cash flow of €11.9 million, compared with €10.8 million in the first half of 2025, driven by a more favorable change in working capital, primarily due to lower inventory levels (-€9 million). The Group has implemented a multi-year action plan aimed at structurally reducing its inventory levels to better align them with operational needs.
Net debt (excluding the impact of IFRS 16) thus amounted to €72.6 million, compared with €79.7 million as of June 30, 2025.
These developments demonstrate the Group’s strong financial management, with positive trends in working capital and net debt pointing toward a consolidation of financial performance in 2026.
Outlook
Against a backdrop of reduced visibility on the economic outlook, SergeFerrari Group will continue to intensify its efforts to improve profitability, building on the increased operational leverage resulting from the work done to make its cost structure more flexible. The ongoing strengthening of its financial fundamentals will enable the Group to implement its strategic priorities for 2027 and support several growth initiatives in its key markets.
Financial calendar
- Publication of third quarter revenue on October 26, 2026, after market close.
