  • Opening of the Offer expected in the second quarter of 2026

Enrique Martinez, Chief Executive Officer of Fnac Darty, said:
« Fnac Darty had a good quarter, particularly driven by European countries outside France and the growth in online sales. We are vigilant and will remain agile in adapting to geopolitical developments and their potential impact on global trade and consumption, which for the time being remains limited for our business. We continue to make progress on the initiatives related to our Beyond everyday plan to improve our offers in line with customers' expectations and accelerate in services across all our geographies.

The process related to the proposed takeover bid for EP Group is continuing and the Board of Directors has expressed, in its reasoned opinion, unanimous support for the project. Over the years, we have built a relationship of trust with EP Group, the Group's largest shareholder since 2023 through its affiliate VESA Equity Investment, that notably enabled us to carry out the transformative acquisition of Unieuro. The Board of Directors' reasoned opinion confirms the merits of this project, particularly for the Company and its employees, and reflects renewed support for Beyond everyday and our long-term strategy. -

Rest of Europe	942.1	942.1	963.1	+2.2%	+2.0%
Group	2,313.8	2,285.8	2,309.8	+1.0%	+0.9%

In the 1st quarter of 2026, Fnac Darty generated revenue of €2,310 million, up +0.9% LFL¹ compared to the same period last year.

Evolution by distribution channel

Online sales increased by +5.4% compared to Q1 2025³. The latter represent 22% of the Group's total sales, driven by the very good momentum of the marketplace activity. The level of omnichannel sales (Click & Collect) was stable compared to Q1 2025¹ and accounted for nearly 50% of the Group's online sales, while in-store sales were almost stable. These results confirm, once again, the relevance of the omnichannel strategy adopted by Fnac Darty.

Evolution by product category
Domestic appliances increased compared to Q1 2025¹, driven by continued momentum in sales of small domestic appliances, particularly in the floor treatment category. Large domestic appliances sales return to growth across all sub-categories and geographies.

Consumer electronics were stable. Computer sales rose sharply, offsetting the decline mainly in television and sound sales.

Diversification continues to be driven by solid growth in the toys and games and stationery categories.

Services are growing, driven by the continued appeal of the household's subscription-based services.

Finally, editorial products declined, impacted by a book market without particularly notable new releases.

Sales in France amounted to €1,347 million, up +0.1% compared to Q1 2025¹-

Rest of Europe revenue was €963 million in Q1 2026, up +2.0% compared to Q1 2025¹-

• Italy posted almost stable LFL² sales of +0.2%. Domestic appliances and computer sales are up, while there is a decline in television and a negative comparison base for gaming.
• Belgium grew by +3.2% LFL² driven by a good dynamic in online sales.
• Portugal grew by +9.8% LFL², driven by the dynamism of sales, both of products and services, in stores and online. The launch of the Darty brand was a great success.
• Spain grew by +5.5% LFL², driven by the good momentum of stores.
• Switzerland was slightly down at -1.1% LFL², mainly impacted by the decline in the book market.
  
  

GROSS MARGIN RATE
The Group's gross margin rate increased by 10 basis points LFL², compared to Q1 2025¹. The growing positive impact of the services activities offset an unfavourable mix effect.

EP GROUP'S TAKEOVER BID FOR FNAC DARTY

The Board of Directors of Fnac Darty met on March 9, 2026 to issue, in accordance with applicable regulations, its reasoned opinion on the proposed takeover bid for the outstanding shares and OCEANEs launched by EP Group, a company controlled by Daniel Kretínský, on January 26, 2026.

Vesa Equity Investment, acting in concert with EP Group, holds 28.5% of the share capital and voting rights of Fnac Darty.

Having reviewed the draft offer document, the conclusions of Ledouble (acting as independent expert in connection with the Offer) confirming the fairness of the Offer and the recommendation of the ad hoc committee, the Board of Directors of the Company issued a favourable and unanimous reasoned opinion on the Offer, considering that it is in line with the interest of the Company, its shareholders and its employees.

The Board of Directors therefore recommends that Fnac Darty's Shareholders and OCEANEs holders tender their securities to the Offer.

The Board of Directors' reasoned opinion is reproduced in full in the draft response document filed with the French Financial Markets Authority (Autorité des marchés financiers, "AMF"), on March 10, 2026, concurrently with the Offeror's draft offer document.

The draft tender Offer, the draft offer document and the draft response document remain subject to the AMF's review, which will assess their compliance with the applicable legislative and regulatory provisions.

Subject to the AMF's clearance decision, and the Competition Authority's clearance, the Offer is expected to open during Q2 2026 and to close in the second half of 2026.

All the documents are available on the website: EP Group's proposed takeover bid - Fnac Darty.

OUTLOOK

The Group confirms its expectation of an increase in its 2026 current operating margin rate and free cash flow from operations-
The objectives communicated for 2030 are confirmed.
