Business performance driven by Employee Benefits
TotalBusiness volumes issued (BVI) in First Half Fiscal 2026 reached 12.9billion euros.
Employee Benefits BVI reached 10.1 billion euros in First Half Fiscal 2026, up +5.9% organically, driven by Latin America and Rest of the world. Overall, commercial momentum remained robust, sustained by the strong contribution of new client wins and a resilient Net retention rate, amid a more challenging geopolitical and macroeconomic environment. Net retention was supported by high client loyalty, the continued increase in face value across all regions and ongoing cross-selling traction, notably in employee mobility benefits, while end-user portfolio evolution remained negative reflecting labor-market-driven reductions in the covered employee base in certain countries.
Other Products & ServicesBVI amounted to 2.7 billion euros in First Half Fiscal 2026 compared to 3.5 billion euros in First Half Fiscal 2025, impacted by the anticipated contract cycle, scale-down and phasing effects on certain large Public Benefit programs in Continental Europe.
Solid Total Revenues organic growth in First Half Fiscal 2026
Total Revenues reached 655 million euros in First Half Fiscal 2026, growing +5.6% organically, underscoring the Group's solid execution in a more uncertain environment. Reported growth reached +3.0%, including a -3.6% currency translation effect, mainly due to operations in Türkiye, and a +1.0% scope effect related to the integration of recently closed acquisitions.
Total Revenues by nature
| (in million euros) | First Half Fiscal 2026 | First Half Fiscal 2025 | Organic growth (%) | Reported growth (%) |
| Operating revenue | 573 | 552 | 5.7% | 3.9% |
| Float revenue | 81 | 83 | 5.3% | -2.5% |
| Total Revenues | 655 | 635 | 5.6% | 3.0% |
| (in million euros) | Q2 Fiscal 2026 | Q2 Fiscal 2025 | Organic growth (%) | Reported growth (%) |
| Operating revenue | 306 | 303 | 2.8% | 0.9% |
| Float revenue | 41 | 43 | 2.2% | -5.6% |
| Total Revenues | 346 | 346 | 2.8% | 0.1% |
Operating revenue reached 573 million euros in First Half Fiscal 2026, delivering +5.7% organic growth, +3.9% reported, including a -2.9% currency translation effect mainly related to Türkiye and a +1.1% scope effect. In Q2 Fiscal 2026, Operating revenue amounted to 306 million euros, up +2.8% organically, +0.9% reported. Core Employee Benefits continued to drive strong growth, notably in Latin America and Rest of the world, while Other Products & Services were impacted by expected temporary headwinds, notably from Public Benefit programs in Continental Europe and ongoing strategic business repositioning in the UK and the US, especially in the second quarter.
Float revenue stood at 81 million euros in First Half Fiscal 2026, up +5.3% organically, including 41 million euros in Q2 Fiscal 2026, up +2.2% organically and -5.6% reported. This was supported by a business volume effect, notably in countries where interest rates remained elevated, such as Türkiye and Brazil, which more than offset lower interest rates in Continental Europe. To mitigate interest rate volatility and secure Float revenue, Pluxee continued to deploy its flexible investment strategy, increasing exposure to longer-tenor and fixed-rate instruments, tailored to local financial market conditions. Overall, the average investment yield reached 6.1% in First Half Fiscal 2026, slightly above 6.0% in First Half Fiscal 2025.
Operating revenue by line of service
| (in million euros) | First Half Fiscal 2026 | First Half Fiscal 2025 | Organic growth (%) | Reported growth (%) |
| Employee Benefits | 500 | 464 | 9.4% | 7.8% |
| Other Products & Services | 73 | 88 | -14.3% | -16.8% |
| Operating revenue | 573 | 552 | 5.7% | 3.9% |
| (in million euros) | Q2 Fiscal 2026 | Q2 Fiscal 2025 | Organic growth (%) | Reported growth (%) |
| Employee Benefits | 266 | 252 | 7.5% | 5.8% |
| Other Products & Services | 39 | 51 | -20.6% | -23.0% |
| Operating revenue | 306 | 303 | 2.8% | 0.9% |
Employee Benefits Operating revenue generated 500 million euros in First Half Fiscal 2026, growing steadily by +9.4% on an organic basis, or +7.8% on a reported basis including a -3.0% currency effect and +1.4% scope effect. Accounting for 87% of Operating revenue in H1 Fiscal 2026, Employee Benefits continued to deliver sustained growth, supported by strong commercial dynamics as well as a solid 5.0% take-up rate. In Q2 Fiscal 2026, Employee Benefits generated Operating revenue of 266 million euros, up +7.5%, confirming the continued strength of the core activity across regions.
Other Products & Services generated 73 million euros in Operating revenue in First Half Fiscal 2026, of which 39 million euros in Q2 Fiscal 2026. As expected, performance was impacted by the anticipated contract cycle, scale-down and phasing effects of Public Benefit programs in Continental Europe, notably in Austria, Romania and Belgium, as well as the ongoing strategic business transformation in the UK and the US.
Operating revenue by region
| (in million euros) | First Half Fiscal 2026 | First Half Fiscal 2025 | Organic growth (%) | Reported growth (%) |
| Continental Europe | 250 | 248 | -0.7% | 0.8% |
| Latin America | 229 | 204 | 12.1% | 12.1% |
| Rest of the world | 94 | 99 | 8.5% | -5.3% |
| Operating revenue | 573 | 552 | 5.7% | 3.9% |
| (in million euros) | Q2 Fiscal 2026 | Q2 Fiscal 2025 | Organic growth (%) | Reported growth (%) |
| Continental Europe | 141 | 144 | -3.3% | -2.2% |

| Rest of the world | 48 | 53 | 4.8% | -9.8% |
| Operating revenue | 306 | 303 | 2.8% | 0.9% |
In Continental Europe, Operating revenue reached 250 million euros in First Half Fiscal 2026, down -0.7% organically, or +0.8% reported including a +1.5% scope effect, mainly related to Skipr, and insignificant currency impact. Regional performance was supported by Southern Europe, notably Spain, while the rest of Europe, including France and Eastern Europe, experienced a more challenging environment linked to current macroeconomic and labor market conditions. While core Employee Benefits continued to demonstrate solid commercial traction, performance was also temporarily impacted by one-off effects in the Public Benefit segment. Excluding these effects, Continental Europe delivered solid +3.4% organic growth.
In Latin America, Operating revenue reached 229 million euros in First Half Fiscal 2026, growing +12.1% organically, +12.1% reported including a -1.1% currency impact mainly related to operations in Brazil and a +1.1% scope effect related to the acquisition of Benefício Fácil. Growth was driven by strong commercial momentum, especially in Brazil, leading to increased penetration of Pluxee's solutions among both large corporates and SMEs, and supported by inflation-linked face value increases, as well as solid Public Benefit activity in Chile.
In Rest of the world, Operating revenue amounted to 94 million euros in First Half Fiscal 2026, up +8.5% organically, -5.3% reported including a -13.9% currency impact mostly related to the evolution of the Turkish lira, and a +0.2% scope effect. Regional performance was driven by Türkiye, continuing to benefit from the hyperinflationary environment, notably through higher benefit face values. It also reflected the ongoing transformation of the Group's activities in the UK and the US, transitioning toward a fully digital Employee Engagement suite of solutions. As part of this shift, the Group has been deploying a comprehensive transformation plan, including changes in management team and exit from some legacy contracts that have been temporarily weighing on these two countries' topline performance. Stripping out the UK and US, Operating revenue grew +16.9% organically in Rest of the world.
+229bps organic expansion in Recurring EBITDA margin
Recurring EBITDA reached 242 million euros in First Half Fiscal 2026, up +12.9% organically, supported across all regions in which the Group operates. On a reported basis, Recurring EBITDA rose +7.7% year-on-year, including a -5.4% currency impact and insignificant scope effects.
Recurring EBITDA margin reached 37.0%, expanding by +229bps on an organic basis, +159bps reported increase year-on-year.
This strong Recurring EBITDA growth and margin expansion reflect the Group's structural operating leverage underpinned by the inherent scalability of Pluxee's business model as well as active cost discipline. Efficiency initiatives, integration synergies from recent acquisitions, and strict cost monitoring strengthened operational agility and continued to support sustainable profitability gains over the semester.
Operating profit (EBIT) grew by +9.0% to €172m
Recurring operating profit (Recurring EBIT) stood at 180 million euros in First Half Fiscal 2026, compared to 171 million euros in First Half Fiscal 2025. It included -62 million euros in depreciation and amortization charges compared to -54 million euros in First Half Fiscal 2025.
Other operating income and expenses amounted to -8 million euros in First Half Fiscal 2026, compared to -13 million euros in First Half Fiscal 2025. It reflected mainly one-off restructuring and rationalization charges for -6 million euros as well as the costs related to business combinations for -1 million euros.
As a result, Operating profit (EBIT) in First Half Fiscal 2026 reached 172 million euros, up +9.0% year-on-year compared to 158 million euros in First Half Fiscal 2025.
Net profit strongly increased by +9.3% to €116m
Financial income and expenses came in at -3 million euros in First Half Fiscal 2026, stable year-on-year. It mainly resulted from (i) -24 million euros of interest costs associated with the Group's bonds, lease liabilities and revolving credit facility, (ii) 22 million euros of interest income generated on non-Float-related cash, and (iii) -2 million euros of Other financial income and expenses.
Income tax expense amounted to -53 million euros in First Half Fiscal 2026, reflecting Effective tax rate of 31.4% in First Half Fiscal 2026, broadly stable compared to First Half Fiscal 2025.
Net profit increased substantially to 116 million euros in First Half Fiscal 2026, up +9.3% year-on-year compared to 106 million euros in First Half Fiscal 2025. This strong performance was driven by the continued expansion of Recurring EBITDA margin supported by further operational leverage and efficiency gains, along with a gradual reduction in the Other operating income and expenses, and tight monitoring of Financial expenses.
Net Profit, Group share, excluding 11 million euros attributable to non-controlling interests, reached 105 million euros in First Half Fiscal 2026, compared to 97 million euros in First Half Fiscal 2025 representing a +7.8% reported growth.

(2) Including mainly the repayment of lease liabilities and the cancellation of (i) non-cash charges and (ii) Other operating income and expenses impacting working capital.
Capital expenditures (CAPEX) amounted to 44 million euros in First Half Fiscal 2026, compared to 43 million euros in First Half Fiscal 2025, and represented 6.8% of Total Revenues for the semester. Pluxee maintained a strong focus on executing its technology and data investment strategy, demonstrating discipline in capital allocation and continuing the transition toward a more OPEX-driven operating model, underpinned by cloud migration and improved IT service management.
Change in working capital, excluding Restricted cash, stood at 85 million euros in First Half Fiscal 2026, compared to 43 million euros in First Half Fiscal 2025. This positive evolution reflected the improvement in the Group's cash collection and management.
Recurring free cash flow stood at 210 million euros in First Half Fiscal 2026, up +22.5% year-on-year. This strong generation was driven by the significant Recurring EBITDA margin expansion, combined with disciplined monitoring of CAPEX and positive Change in working capital excluding Restricted cash.
Recurring cash conversion rate for First Half Fiscal 2026 came in at 86%, compared to 76% in First Half Fiscal 2025, reflecting the high-quality of recurring earnings.
Strengthened Net financial cash position at €1,270m
Net financial cash position, excluding Restricted cash, as of February 28, 2026 stood at 1,270 million euros compared to 1,163 million euros as of August 31, 2025, representing an increase of +107 million euros over First Half Fiscal 2026. This positive evolution was fueled by strong Recurring free cash flow generation, which more than offset dividend distributions to Pluxee N.V. shareholders and non-controlling interests for Fiscal 2025, as well as the ongoing execution of the 100 million euros share buy-back program launched since October 31, 2025. The Group also benefited from a favorable foreign exchange cash impact over the period.

The total amount of liquidity, including Restricted cash related to the Float of 753 million euros and excluding bank overdrafts of -19 million euros, reached 3,313 million euros as of February 28, 2026.
Gross financial debt amounted to -1,271 million euros as of February 28, 2026, compared with -1,289 million euros as of August 31, 2025. As of February 28, 2026, the Group was funded through (i) two bonds of 550 million euros each, maturing in 2028 and 2032, on which the Group entered into fixed-to-floating interest rate swaps on part of the nominal amount, (ii) an undrawn revolving credit facility of 650 million euros, maturing in October 2030, and (iii) a NEU CP program with a limit of up to 400 million euros and 75 million euros outstanding as of February 28, 2026.

Fiscal 2026 financial objectives confirmed
Following regulatory developments in Brazil announced on November 12, 2025, starting to impact the Group's financials from Second Half Fiscal 2026, Pluxee released updated financial objectives for Fiscal 2026 on November 17, 2025.
Building on the solid performance delivered in First Half Fiscal 2026 and on the resilience of its business model and execution agility, while remaining mindful of the increasingly uncertain macroeconomic and geopolitical environment, the Group confirms its financial objectives for Fiscal 2026:
- Stable Total Revenues on an organic basis;
- Slight organic expansion in Recurring EBITDA margin; and
- Around 80% Recurring cash conversion on average over Fiscal 2024-2026.
Beyond Fiscal 2026, the announced measures and implementation timeline in Brazil, if fully confirmed, would still impact the Group's financials in First Half Fiscal 2027, with Pluxee anticipating a return to a sustainable, profitable growth trajectory from the Second Half Fiscal 2027 onwards.
Significant events in First Half Fiscal 2026
Completed acquisitions of the period
In September 2025, the Group completed the 100% acquisition of Skipr SA, a fast-growing and innovative tech provider of employee mobility solutions to over 330 corporate clients in Belgium and France, enriching the Group's multi-benefit offering in both countries and strengthening its innovation capabilities.
In addition, in December 2025, the Group completed the 100% acquisition of ProEves Services, an Indian leader in corporate childcare employee benefit activity serving around 100 local corporate clients, which will reinforce the Group's leadership position in India.
Both transactions were fully funded from existing cash resources with no impact on Group leverage.
Payment of the Fiscal 2025 dividend and execution of the share buy-back program
The Annual General Meeting of shareholders held on December 17, 2025 approved the dividend distribution for Fiscal 2025 of 0.38 euro per ordinary share. The dividend, representing a total amount of 55 million euros, was paid to Pluxee N.V. shareholders on December 23, 2025.

The primary purpose of this program is to reduce the Pluxee N.V.'s share capital through the cancellation of repurchased shares, and incidentally to enable the Group to meet its obligations under forthcoming performance share plans.
As of February 28, 2026, the Group held 4,915,356 shares purchased during First Half Fiscal 2026 under the new 100?million euro share buy-back program, representing 62% of the program

Alternative performance measure definitions
| Adjusted basic / diluted earnings per share (EPS) | Adjusted basic or diluted earnings per share are calculated by dividing Adjusted net profit (attributable to the equity holders of the parent) by respectively basic weighted average number of shares or diluted weighted average number of shares. |
| Adjusted net profit | Adjusted net profit serves as the basis for calculating dividend payout ratio.
