PRESS RELEASE
Arcueil, May 12th, 2026
In a more challenging market environment than anticipated, Aramis Group updates its fiscal year 2026 objectives
First-half 2026 in line with expectations
Medium-term objectives confirmed
When announcing its annual objectives in November 2025, the Group had anticipated a transitional fiscal year 2026, given the transformations underway in the United Kingdom and Austria, and a challenging macroeconomic environment, particularly in France.
In line with these expectations, the Group publishes the following preliminary results for the first half-year, which will be detailed at the time of the May 19, 2026 publication:
- First-half 2026 revenues of €1,134.2 million (compared to €1,213.3 million in the first half of 2025) and B2C volumes of 56,444 units, down -7.3% compared to the first half of 2025. This reflects in particular the anticipated decline in volumes in the United Kingdom (-18%) and Austria (-35%), in a market1 down -4% across all geographies (compared to the first half of 2025);
- Adjusted EBITDA of €23.3 million (compared to €32.8 million in the first half of 2025): while EBITDA reflects the contraction in volumes, gross profit per unit sold shows a slight increase, demonstrating the resilience of unit margins and the Group's cost discipline;
- Cash generation2 of +€2.6 million over the half-year, driven by inventory management discipline.
Condensed income statement
| In million of euros | Preliminary basis | ||
| H1 2026 | H1 2025 | Change % | |
| Refurbished cars (units) | 43,098 | 47,060 | -8.4% |
| Pre-registered cars (units) | 13,346 | 13,809 | -3.4% |
| Total B2C Volumes (units) | 56,444 | 60,869 | -7.3% |
| Revenues (in million of euros) | 1,134.2 | 1,213.3 | -6.5% |
| Adjusted EBITDA (in million of euros) | 23.3 | 32.8 | -28.9% |
Since the outbreak of the conflict in the Middle East and particularly in recent weeks, the Group has been facing more challenging market conditions than expected:
- The deterioration of the used vehicle market for vehicles under 8 years old has intensified. Across all the Group's geographies, the market declined by -4% in the first quarter and by -5% in the second. In France, this trend is more pronounced, with -7% in the first quarter, -9% in the second quarter, and -11% in April;
- The pre-registered market is temporarily declining: the increase in fuel prices following the conflict in the Middle East has accelerated demand for electric vehicles at the expense of combustion engine vehicles. The pre-registered vehicle segment is mechanically affected: the availability of pre-registered electric vehicles is limited in the market, in a specific context of strong demand acceleration. In France, this phenomenon is further amplified as pre-registered vehicles do not benefit from the eco-bonus.
In this context, Aramis Group now expects for its fiscal year 2026:
- At least 110,000 total B2C vehicles sold volumes (compared to at least 115,000 units previously);
- Adjusted EBITDA between €35 million and €45 million (compared to at least €55 million previously).
The Group continues to accelerate its development in refurbished vehicles, in a context where European households' appetite for refurbished used cars, regardless of powertrain type, remains intact. In addition, the Group is pursuing the actions undertaken to strengthen its operational performance:
- Discipline in terms of unit margins, cost control and cash management is maintained;
- The transitions in the United Kingdom and Austria are producing positive effects.
Aramis Group thus confirms its medium-term objectives:
- Average annual organic growth in total B2C vehicle volumes of "high single-digit";
- Adjusted EBITDA at approximately 5% of revenues.
Additional details will be provided at the time of the publication of the detailed first-half 2026 results on May 19, 2026 (after market close).
