In the first half of 2026, the group's turnover stood at €7.3m, up 21% compared with the first half of 2025.
In an oil market that has seen prices rise following the outbreak of the conflict in the Middle East (the price per barrel in € rose by 15% between H1 2025 and H1 2026, comprising a fall of 23% in January/February and a rise of 38% in March/June), turnover in the Refined Products business rose by 25%; this comprised a 35% increase due to price effects (driven by gasoil prices) and a 10% decrease due to volume effects. The Port Services business, meanwhile, grew by 10%.
Due to maintenance operations carried out earlier than in 2025, production volumes fell by 14%, from 13,038 tonnes in 2025 to 11,264 tonnes in 2026. Sales volumes, meanwhile, fell by 10%, from 11,080 tonnes in 2025 to 9,977 tonnes in 2026. It should be noted that these shortfalls had been fully made up by the end of August 2026.
The gross margin rate fell by 5.9 points, mainly due to changes in the business mix (P2R/Port Services), accounting for 1.1 point, and rising supply costs (relating to both raw materials and maritime transport), accounting for 3.5 points.
As regards overheads, these fell from €3.6m at 30 June 2025 to €3.5m at 30 June 2026, as a result of a 6% reduction in personnel costs, amounting to -€103k.
Taking these factors into account, the group recorded a positive EBITDA of €326k (compared with -€74k as at 30 June 2025), which breaks down as follows:
| In €'000 | 30/06/2025 | 30/06/2026 | Var. k€ |
| Ecoslops Portugal | 863 | 1 272 | 409 |
| Ecoslops Paris & Développement | (937) | (945) | (9) |
| EBITDA | (74) | 326 | 400 |
The financial result stands at -€313k, the same level as in 2025.
Corporation tax, meanwhile, represents income of €39k, consisting mainly of tax income of €100k relating to the research tax credit and a deferred tax expense of €37k.
The Group's net loss therefore stands at -€578k, an improvement of €413k compared with the loss of -€991k recorded in the first half of 2025.

The key items in the balance sheet as at 30 June 2026 are as follows:
- A significant increase in trade receivables of €1.2m, attributable to the rise in turnover in June 2026 (€1.7m) compared with June 2025 (€0.6m);
- A rise in stock levels of €0.7m (comprising a €0.5m increase due to volume and a €0.2m increase due to price);
- An increase in trade payables of €0.4m, reflecting higher purchase prices.
The above changes account for the €1.4m increase in working capital requirements, which was financed by the group's cash position, which fell by the same amount.
Financial position and cashflows
As at 30 June 2026, the Group held cash and cash equivalents of nearly €3.8 million, comprising €2.9 million in available cash (taking into account a conditional advance of €0.8 million against an investment grant, to be repaid in the second half of 2026) and net debt of €13.6 million (compared with €11.9m at 31 December 2025). The change in cash and cash equivalents is analysed as follows:
| In €'000 | 30/06/2026 |
| EBITDA | 326 |
| Corporate tax | (12) |
| Investment subsidy recognition | (59) |
| Operating WC variance | (1 364) |

| Opening cash balance (net of overdraft) | 5 221 |
| Closing cash balance (net of overdraft) | 3 754 |
| Variance | (1 467) |
Operating cashflow stood at -€1.1m, attributable to a negative change in working capital of -€1.4m and positive EBITDA of €0.3m.
Cashflow from investing activities amounted to -€0.3m and comprised the usual maintenance capital expenditure associated with the Group's operations, notably the port services business of Ecoslops Portugal.
Finally, cashflow from financing activities resulted in a net outflow close to zero, given the debt refinancing carried out in Portugal.
Perspectives & developments
Sines:
As stated at the time of the publication of the 2025 annual accounts, the Group is continuing its discussions on the terms of the renewal of the sub-concession agreement with CLT (a subsidiary of GALP) in Portugal. This agreement, which has an initial term of 15 years, is due to expire in August 2027. This contract does not include a notice clause; however, given the necessary operational lead times, the Group expects to know by the second half of 2026 what decision GALP will take, as it has three possible options: putting the contract out to tender again, renewing it through private negotiation, or bringing this activity in-house. The extension of this contract is critical for the group, as the two activities (port services and refined products, P2R) are intrinsically linked.
Scarabox/Scarabatch:
In 2025, the Scarabox project in Ivory Coast received significant support from Bpifrance (including the provision of export financing, export credit insurance and guarantees) towards the Ivorian government, as part of the latter's purchase of a turnkey factory. The Ivorian government's investment decision, initially expected in 2025, was postponed to 2026 due to the presidential election held in October 2025 and the nomination of the new government at the end of January 2026. In view of these extended timelines, Bpifrance has extended its financing offer until January 2027.
Beyond Ivory Coast, the group is in discussions with other prospective clients, again regarding the supply and sale of turnkey plants, Scarabox and Scarabatch.
Financial agenda
Publication of the H1 2026 Half-Year report: 29 October 2026, after market close.
