| Q1 | 95.2 | 87.1 | -8.6% | -5.6% |

Note that Roche Bobois communicates both revenue (stemming from effective deliveries by its directly operated stores and from royalties and commission fees) and retail sales (stemming from pre-tax order intake by the network of directly operated stores and franchises for its two brands). The retail sales of directly operated stores is used to measure business activity and to anticipate the revenue for the coming months.

In Q2 2026, retail sales (order intake) from directly operated stores totaled €69.9 million, down 6.1% at current exchange rates (-5.1% at constant exchange rates) compared with Q2 2025. This level of activity represents a clear sequential improvement compared with Q1 2026, which recorded a 10.6% decline.
In France, Cuir Center delivered a strong performance in Q2 2026 (+14.3% compared with Q2 2025), partially offsetting the double-digit decline recorded by Roche Bobois France in a still challenging market environment. Roche Bobois Europe followed a similar trend to Roche Bobois France.
The United States / Canada region posted growth of 1.6% in U.S. dollars in Q2 2026 compared with Q2 2025, and representing -1.3% in euros. This recovery in activity is noteworthy following a significantly weaker start to the year.

OUTLOOK
As of June 30, 2026, Roche Bobois SA's order backlog to be delivered[2] stood at €122.7 million, unchanged from December 31, 2025. It totaled €133.1 million as of June 30, 2025.
EBITDA in H1 2026 will be mechanically impacted by the decline in delivered revenue. However, this effect will be partially offset by the reimbursement of U.S. customs duties paid in 2025 and refunded in 2026, together with the benefits of cost-saving initiatives. The Group remains cautious regarding the remainder of the financial year and will continue to rely on the resilience of its business model to mitigate the potential impact of lower business volumes.
With respect to its network expansion, the Roche Bobois brand confirms the opening of a company-owned store in Luxembourg as well as a new location in Porto, Portugal. Meanwhile, Cuir Center completed the acquisition of its franchisee in Nantes, France. In parallel, during 2026 the Group has already relocated 2 directly operated Roche Bobois stores, in Reims, France and Atlanta, United States. Lastly, the Group continues to pursue its pace of opening five to ten franchise stores per year. During the first half, two Roche Bobois franchise stores were opened in Antalya, Turkey and Kunming, China.
At end of June 2026, Roche Bobois SA operated 336 stores as of June 30, 2026, including 261 Roche Bobois stores (126 directly operated and 135 franchises) and 75 Cuir Center stores (23 directly operated and 52 franchises)[3].
