PRESS RELEASE
Thorigné-Fouillard, France – 14 October 2025, 6 p.m.


Kerlink (AKLK FR0013156007), a specialist provider of networks and solutions for the Internet of Things (IoT),
is publishing its consolidated half-year results and third quarter revenue for the 2025 financial year.

As expected, the recovery in activity that began at the end of 2024 continued in the first half of the
financial year with revenue up 16% to more than €7.2 million. Private operators were key contributors of this
momentum during the first half of the year. Revenue on this market thus came to €6.8 million (94% of total
activity), up 18% over the first six months of the year. Growth was particularly strong in the second quarter,
with revenue rising by 24% to more than €3.3 million. The Smart Agriculture & Environment and Smart Building
& Industry segments both showed good momentum, with business growth of 27% and 20% respectively
over the first six months.

Geographically, growth was driven by the EMEA region, which accounts for 89% of total activity and
posted first-half revenue of nearly €6.5 million, up 18%. The Americas region also turned in an encouraging
performance, with revenue of €0.5 million, up 49%, driven in particular by new customers. In Asia, activity
remained immaterial at less than 4% of revenue for the period.

Business growth coincided with improved results.

Significant improvement in results
Gross margin increased over the period, representing 42.2% of revenue compared with 31.8% in the first
half of 2024. As a reminder, the gross margin rate for the first half of 2024 included an inventory impairment
of €400k. If we exclude this impairment, the gross margin rate would have been 38.7%.

The financial statements for the first half of 2025 do not include any additional impairment of inventories.

The nearly 10% increase in operating expenses does not call into question the rigorous cost control policy
in place since 2023. It is mainly attributable to a collective increase in remuneration from 1 st January 2025
and the recruitment of two sales resources.

The increase in revenue combined with good management of the gross margin and operating expenses
automatically led to a marked improvement in EBITDA to -€0.5 million compared with -€1.3 million at 30
June 2024.

After depreciation and amortisation, the operating loss was reduced significantly to -€1.0 million compared
with -€1.8 million at 30 June 2024.

Net financial income was stable at -€0.1 million.

Group net income also improved to a loss of -€1.1 million compared with -€1.9 million in the same period
last year.

At 30 June 2025, the Group’s shareholders' equity stood at €2.9 million, compared with €4.1 million at 31
December 2024.

The Group continued measures to reduce its inventory over the period. Inventories amounted to €8.3 million
at 30 June 2025 compared with €9.9 million at 31 December 2024.



Stable net financial debt2

Agreements in principle with banking partners on debt restructuring
Bank loan repayments in the first half of 2025 amounted to €1.7 million (including interest).

Financial debt at end-June 2025 (excluding lease liabilities pursuant to IFRS16) was €10.2 million (of which
€0.6 million factored) versus €12 million (of which €0.7 million factored) at 31 December 2024.

Net financial debt remained stable at €7.2 million.

Cash stood at €3 million at 30 June 2025 versus €4.8 million at 31 December 2024.

In order to support the current sales momentum and meet the cash requirements to launch its growth
drivers, the management team has initiated discussions with the Group’s banking partners to renegotiate
its debt.

The Kerlink Group recently obtained the following agreements in principle that do not come with restrictive
conditions precedent:

• For one loan with a balance to be repaid of €100k: capital exemption of loan instalments for a
period of six months, with the maturity of said loan extended by six months.
• For the other loans: capital exemption of loan instalments for a period of 18 months, with the
maturity of said loans extended by 12 months.

One loan for which the balance to be repaid is €39k is excluded from restructuring.



These agreements in principle must now be formalised by setting up the necessary contractual legal
documentation between the Group and its banking partners. These contractual documents are expected
to be in place by 31 October 2025.

Confirmation of sales momentum in Q3 2025
As expected, business activity continues to show good momentum in the second half of the year.

Revenue for the third quarter thus came to €3.4 million compared with €1.6 million in the same period last
year.
3
As a reminder, revenue for the third quarter of 2024 included the issue of two credit notes . Without these
deductions, revenue for the third quarter of 2024 would have been €2.3 million. Activity in the third quarter
of 2025 would have therefore been up 48% on the same period last year.

Revenue for the quarter therefore shows a significant increase in activity of around €1 million compared
with previous years.

The EMEA region (89% of total revenue for the quarter) drove this growth, with sales rising by 46% over the
period to €3 million. We also saw positive momentum and results in the Americas region (7% of total revenue
for the quarter). Revenue increased sharply to €756k in the first nine months of the financial year. The
contribution from the Asia region remained immaterial (4% of activity during the quarter).

Total revenue for the first nine months of the year was €10.6 million, an increase of 35%.

This good performance consolidates the growth momentum seen by the Group, even before the launch
of its innovative Track Value application dedicated to the freight and logistics sector.




3One credit note issued in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region in the amount of €144k for a customer wishing to change a product listing.
A second credit note amounting to €513k issued in the Americas (NCSA), for a voluntary goods return from a customer with significant
payment delays.

Positive outlook for growth and improved results
Given the sales performance recorded in the last few months of the financial period and the quality of the
order book to date, Kerlink is reasserting its confidence in its performance at the end of 2025 and the
beginning of 2026.

The end of the year will see the launch of the Track Value solution. Several pilot projects are under way
which will demonstrate the relevance of this new offer. Track Value will be a promising growth driver that
will consolidate service revenues going forward. This is the first industrial application dedicated to the freight
(road, rail, air and sea) and logistics sector integrating data transmission via the Kinéis satellite-based
connectivity provider for the IoT.

In this context, Kerlink is fully confident in its ability to cement this improvement in its full-year results.
