Another year of double-digit growth in France and internationally

For full-year 2024, revenue amounted to €74.5m, for annual growth of +12.9% compared with
2023.

Driven by its unique subscription model, COGELEC achieved a new performance with subscription-
related revenue of €23.4m (€20.0m in 2023), up +17.2%. At the end of 2024, this business
accounted for 31.5% of total revenue. The Intratone brand thus posted an increase of 325,000
additional subscribed properties in 2024. In total, 2.5 million homes in France and Europe receive
the COGELEC GSM intercom service.

In France, combined full-year revenue came out at €63.6m, up +10.8% (€57.4m in 2023).

In Europe, the teams continue to roll out the sales roadmap with Intratone solutions widely
distributed in the collective housing market. In 2024, revenue generated in Europe was €10.9m,
compared with €8.6m in 2023 (up +26.9%). The European markets now account for 15% of Group
revenue, compared with 13% a year earlier.

Increase in operating profitability and growth in net profitability

Benefiting from a favorable product mix, gross margin increased to €49.3m (66.2% of revenue),
underlining the Group’s ability to control its margins and procurement costs in a complex and
globally unfavorable economic environment.

Personnel expenses increased owing to an increase in the average workforce (+11 people) together
with an increase in profit sharing (€1.3m) and the bonus share allocation plan for employees,
reflecting the continued growth in business activity. At the end of December 2024, the COGELEC
Group had 364 employees.

After factoring in relatively stable external expenses, EBITDA rose sharply to €12.4m, compared
with €10.2m in FY 2023.

The current operating income was €7.4m, up 44.7%. After taking into account the tax expense,
net income improved by a substantial 25.6% to €5.7m from €4.5m a year earlier.

At December 31, 2024, shareholders’ equity stood at €10.2m. Financial debt came out at €19.0m.
At the end of the financial year, the Group had €24.6m in gross cash.

Proposed dividend of €0.58 per share

The COGELEC Board of Directors has decided to propose to the General Shareholders Meeting of
June 4, 2025, the payment of a dividend of €0.58 per share for fiscal 2024, compared with €0.38
per share for fiscal 2023. The ex-dividend date is set on July 2, 2025, with payment on July 4,
2025.
This distribution policy reflects management’s confidence in the Group’s growth prospects.

Q1 2025 revenue: +19.6%

Q1 2025 revenue amounted to €22.1m, compared with €18.5m in 2024, for an increase of 19.6%.
Revenue in France totaled €19.2m, up +20.5% from €16.0m a year earlier on an increasingly
favorable product mix with numerous innovations. In Europe, revenue came out at €2.9m,
compared with €2.5m in Q1 2024, for an increase of +13.9%.
Subscriptions continued to grow, rising +15.7% to €6.5m in Q1 2024 from €5.6m in Q1 2023.

Significant increase in overall ESG rating (silver medal)

By offering innovative and sustainable access control solutions, COGELEC contributes every day to
a low-carbon economy. This commitment was recognized with the improvement of its overall non-
financial rating in 2024. The Group obtained a score of 64/100 (silver medal) in 2023 compared
with 43 in 2022, the year of its last Ethifinance Ratings assessment, carried out on listed European
SMEs, in the information technology sector and technology-related equipment and hardware sub-
sector.



Outlook for 2025

Building on this dynamic start to the year, with a range of highly innovative products and services
perfectly in step with emerging needs in access control, COGELEC is confirming its objective of
stronger business growth in 2025 than in 2024, accompanied by a further improvement in the
EBITDA ratio.
