Commenting on the half-year results, Mr Stéphane Dalyac, Chairman of the Management Board,
stated:

"In a champagne market that remains less buoyant than in previous years, the Laurent-Perrier Group
reports revenue growth and a slight decline in half-year profit. However, investment in supporting
our brands and in the quality of our Champagnes enables us to maintain a high level of operating
margin, above that recorded in the years prior to the Covid period.
The Laurent-Perrier Group is thus maintaining its value-driven strategy, consistently relying on the
quality of its Champagnes, the strength of its brands, the commitment of its teams, and the controlled
management of its distribution."

Change in revenue:

During the period from 1 April 2025 to 30 September 2025, the champagne market recorded a -1.5%
decline in volumes shipped compared with the prior year. Over the same period, the Group achieved
a +2.6% increase in sales volumes compared with the first half of the previous financial year.

Over the first nine months of the calendar year, the champagne market was down -1.4%, while the
Group’s sales were up +8.9%, which does not, however, indicate the likely trend in revenue for the
full financial year.

In this less favourable environment, the strength of the Group’s brands and the quality of its
Champagnes continued to support its value-driven strategy, resulting in a price-mix effect of +1.6%
over the half-year, together with a +2.6% volume effect.

Consolidated revenue for the first half (champagne sales) therefore amounted to €133.3 million at
current exchange rates.

Change in profit:

In the first half of 2025-2026, the Group continued to invest for the long term, particularly in
supporting its brands and in commercial development. These investments in enhancing the value of
sales underpin the long-term strength of the brands. The Group’s operating margin reached 27.5% at
current exchange rates. Net profit attributable to the Group amounted to €23.1 million at current
exchange rates, down -8.7%, and represented 17.2% of consolidated revenue.

Changes in operating cash flow and financial structure:

The improvement in working capital (with the increase in inventories offset by higher trade
creditors and lower other current assets) led to an improvement in operating cash flow, which stood
at -€4.7 million compared with -€39.2 million at 30 September 2024.

The interim consolidated balance sheet as at 30 September 2025 confirms the robustness of the
Group’s financial position. Equity attributable to the Group amounted to €640.4 million, and net debt
(*) stood at €236.8 million, including €43.8 million in cash and cash equivalents. The gearing ratio
remains at an excellent level, at 0.37 at 30 September 2025 compared with 0.35 at 31 March 2025.
(*) Net debt: non-current financial and other liabilities + current financial liabilities – cash and cash equivalents.

Outlook:

The published results for the first half cannot be extrapolated to the full 2025-2026 financial year.
Indeed, the geopolitical environment and the economic situation in several of the Group’s key markets
call for considerable caution regarding the outlook for the coming months.

The Laurent-Perrier Group continues to implement its business plan with vigilance and confidence,
and is maintaining the course of its value-driven strategy, which is built on four pillars:
- A single business: The production and sale of top-of-the-range Champagnes
- Quality supply based on a partnership policy
- A portfolio of strong, complimentary brands
- Well-controlled worldwide distribution.




Laurent-Perrier is one of the rare family groups of champagne houses which is listed on the stock market, and
which is exclusively dedicated to champagne, and focused on the high-end market. It has a large product
portfolio renowned for its quality, based around the Laurent-Perrier, Salon, Delamotte and Champagne de
Castellane brands.
