A sovereign offer integrating some of the most efficient technologies on the market During the first half of 2026, LightOn continued to expand its sovereign offering for companies and the public sector, notably with LightOnOCR-2[1], which allows the extraction and structuring of data from large and complex documents with a high level of performance and whose capabilities have recently been extended to the Arabic language[2]. The benefits of this offer now position LightOn as one of the technological leaders in its market, allowing its customers to deploy search and document processing solutions on their sensitive data, while maintaining control over their environment. It addresses use cases aimed in particular at reducing processing times, improving process reliability, and generating productivity gains. At the end of June 2026, around fifteen public institutions had already selected LightOn's solution to process their data within their own environment, transforming testing phases into operational uses. Revenue and annual recurring revenue (ARR[3]) at June 2026 At 30 June 2026, revenue amounted to EUR1.1 million, up by 51% compared to 2025; it is mainly achieved in France. The sales of the Paradigm license increased by 34%, thanks to new contracts signed during the period and to those signed last year fully contributing to the 2026 revenue. Sales of services related to Paradigm have increased tenfold, reflecting new contracts initiated in the first half of 2026. Revenue 06/2026 06/2025 Non audited, in thousands of EUR Paradigm 1 069 655 Licences 849 633 Services 220 22 Forge 0 53 Licences 0 0 Services 0 53 Other 1 1 Total 1 070 709
The new contracts signed during the first half of 2026, representing an ARR of EUR0.2 million, offset the expired and not continued contracts over the period for an equivalent amount. The ARR thus stood at EUR1.9 million as of June 30, 2026, stable compared to December 31, 2025.
The growth of the commercial pipeline observed since 2025 was partially reflected in sales during the first half of 2026. However, the rate of conversion of business opportunities remains contrasted. In France, some AI solution integration projects have been postponed or canceled due to GPU procurement or budget constraints for certain prospects. Moreover, the persistence of geopolitical tensions in the Middle East has delayed the realization of several business opportunities in the region.
Outlook for the 2nd half of 2026
In a market where companies and public actors are placing increasing importance on sovereignty, security and control of their data, LightOn intends to capitalize on the sovereign positioning of its solution, and on its innovative features, notably its multimodal RAG and LightOnOCR-2.
The interest in LightOn's solutions was particularly confirmed at VivaTech, Eurosatory and Gitex Africa as well as through new use cases with companies and public organizations.
Appointed Chief Executive Officer on 9 July 2026, Jean-Philippe Baert[4]'s priorities will include accelerating the conversion of the commercial pipeline into recurring revenue, strengthening operational execution, and optimizing the cost structure, with the aim of transforming more quickly LightOn's technological advantages into growth and value creation.
An adjusted cash horizon to the end of 2026, and proposals under consideration for an extension to the end of 2027
The conversion of business opportunities into revenue to date and expected in the next 3 months has led LightOn to review its cash forecast and its transition to profitability in 2026 and to estimate that its activities will be funded until the end of 2026, compared to the end of 2027 as previously forecast.
In parallel with the optimization of its cost structure, the company is in advanced discussions with Vester Finance, shareholder and partner, about financing options that would allow it to extend its cash horizon until the end of 2027.
