Enrique Martinez, Chief Executive Officer of Fnac Darty, said: « 2025 was marked by the launch of our Beyond everyday plan, which allowed us to reaffirm our commitment to meaningful retail, accelerate our ambitions in terms of omnichannel, circularity, service development and European expansion. The past year has strengthened our model and confirmed the relevance of our trajectory, despite a difficult consumer environment in France. For this first year of integration, Unieuro, has achieved very good results that make us optimistic for the future. The increase in the number of subscribers to our services, the growth in online sales and in our various geographies in Europe are real reasons for pride for this year 2025. I would like to commend the unwavering commitment of the teams in this demanding but structuring year for the Group. Their talent and conquering spirit allow us to seize growth opportunities and will continue to drive our performance in 2026.»

Since the beginning of 2025, the Group reports its financial information based on the following 2 geographical areas: France and the Rest of Europe (including Italy, Belgium, Portugal, Spain and Switzerland). In addition, the acquisition of Unieuro resulted in the recognition of an amortisation of assets identified resulting from the Purchase Price Allocation (PPA). As announced on January 26, 2026, Nature & Découvertes was reclassified in the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2025, in accordance with IFRS 5. In this respect:

• Nature & Découvertes’ contributions are isolated and presented in net income from discontinued operations.
• Comparative periods in the P&L and the Cash flow statement will be restated to ensure consistency between reporting periods. The reconciliation tables are presented in the appendix; and
• the Group’s financial indicators will be presented, including Unieuro (12 months), excluding Ticketing and Nature & Découvertes, within continuing operations.

In Q4 2025, Group revenue amounted to €3,446 million, up +0.1% LFL⁷ compared to the restated Q4 of 2024². France, down -0.6% LFL¹, was impacted by disappointing commercial activity in December. Conversely, the Rest of Europe grew by +1.0% LFL¹, with LFL¹ high single digit performances in Portugal and Spain.

In 2025, revenue was €10,330 million, up +0.7% LFL¹ compared to 2024².

The gross margin rate was 28.0% (+50 bps compared to 2024², and +60 bps excluding the dilutive effect of the franchise) and is mainly due to the growing contribution of services activities.

Operating costs amounted to €2,689 million at the end of 2025 compared to €2,640 million at the end of 2024². The change is mainly due to additional costs related to the indexation of rents, the ramp-up of service activities and an increase in depreciation and amortization, which were only partially covered by the performance plans implemented in all the Group’s divisions.

Current EBITDA amounted to €667 million, up €15 million compared to the end of 2024².

After taking into account depreciation and amortization, and €304 million for the application of IFRS 16, current operating income reached €203 million at the end of 2025 compared with €200 million at the end of 2024² i.e. a current operating margin of 2.0%.

CHANGES BY DISTRIBUTION CHANNEL

In 2025, online sales grew strongly (+5.8% compared to 2024²). The latter represent 22 % of the Group’s total sales, driven by the momentum of the marketplace business (direct and reverse). The level of omnichannel sales (Click & Collect) is stable compared to 2024² and represents nearly 50% of the Group’s online sales, while in-store sales are slowing. These results confirm, once again, the relevance of the omnichannel strategy adopted by Fnac Darty.

CHANGES BY PRODUCT CATEGORY

Services continued to grow and posted double-digit growth in most geographies. At the end of 2025, the Group had approximately 2.4 million subscribers across all services.

Diversification is also marked by double-digit growth in the toys and games and stationery categories. The bedding and kitchen are also performing well.

Domestic appliances increased compared to 2024, driven by continued growth in sales of small domestic appliances, particularly in the floor care category. Sales of large domestic appliances are stabilizing with a very good performance of refrigerators and air conditioners, especially during the summer period.

Editorial products are benefiting from the excellent performance of the launch of the Switch 2 console in early June 2025. Books are down slightly in a market with no new products.

Finally, consumer electronics declined due to the decline in sales of television and new telephones. Refurbished phones are growing strongly. The PC market is back to growth, driven by the end of support for Windows 10 and the start of a new renewal cycle. Tablets, connected glasses and photography are showing very good growth dynamics. At the same time, the launch of computer components on Fnac.com was a great success.

CHANGES BY GEOGRAPHICAL REGION

The activity observed in December in France was disappointing, especially in stores. The figures published by the Banque de France⁸ confirm a particularly difficult context for the distribution sector with a strong pressure on household purchasing power.

The challenges encountered by Nature & Découvertes for several quarters have persisted despite the initiatives put in place to resume the activity. An active process of finding a partner has been initiated. As a result, the Group has reclassified Nature & Découvertes in the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2025 in accordance with IFRS 5.
France thus posted a slight increase in revenue of +0.5% LFL⁹ in 2025 compared to 2024¹⁰. The scope effect mainly reflects the permanent closure of the Champs-Elysées store. Current operating income in France amounted to €141 million at the end of December 2025, representing a current operating margin of 2.3%.

Rest of Europe posted a very good increase in LFL¹ revenue at the end of 2025 of +1.1% compared to the end of 2024:

• In Italy, LFL¹ revenue fell by 1.1%, due to strong competitive pressure, particularly in the telephony segment, and a high basis of comparison for television.
• Belgium-Luxembourg recorded LFL¹ sales growth of +1.8 %, mainly due to the increase in online sales, mitigated by a decline in store.
• Portugal posted LFL¹ growth of +7.3% thanks to the dynamism of the two brands across all distribution channels.
• Spain grew LFL¹ by +6.6%, driven by all product categories. The scope effect reflects the temporary closures of stores for renovation and renovations. Since November 2025, all stores have reopened.
• In Switzerland, LFL¹ sales were up +5.2%, driven by very good growth both online and in-store, and growth in services.

Current operating income for Rest of Europe amounted to €62 million at the end of December 2025, representing a current operating margin of 1.5%.

OTHER INCOME STATEMENT ITEMS

Net income from continuing operations, Group share amounted to -€67 million as of December 31, 2025, compared to +€43 million as of December 31, 2024³. It mainly includes:

• Non-current income of -€123 million compared to -€27 million at the end of 2024³. The change is mainly due to the recognition of goodwill and brand impairments and fair value adjustments on various IT projects with no impact on the Group’s cash position of -€96 million.
• Net financial income of -€118 million compared to -€97 million at the end of 2024³. The change is mainly due to the increase in the cost of net financial debt (which amounted to -€54 million) due to the Group’s new financing conditions and the increase in IFRS 16 expenses which amounted to -€59 million.
• Tax expense of -€25 million, compared to -€37 million in 2024³. In France, the temporary exceptional corporate income tax applicable to very large companies (art. 48) of the 2025 finance law, to which Fnac Darty is subject, amounts to €10 million. 

Net income from continuing operations, Group share – adjusted¹¹ for non-recurring items, with no impact on Group cash, amounted to €28 million as of December 31, 2025.
The net income from discontinued operations of -€78 million as of December 31, 2025, corresponds to the reclassification of Nature & Découvertes in accordance with IFRS 5. It includes -€18 million for 2025 loss and -€60 million of goodwill impairment.

FINANCIAL STRUCTURE

Free cash flow from operations excluding IFRS 16 was €145 million compared to €210 million at the end of December 2024³. The change is mainly due to an increase in investments, especially in Italy with the opening of a new warehouse and in France with renovations and store openings. As a reminder, asset disposals were carried out in 2024 for a total amount of €93 million (including the sale and leaseback of a warehouse in France).

The Group’s net financial debt excluding IFRS amounted to €958 million as of December 31, 2025, and is mainly composed of a €550 million bond issue due March 2029 and a €300 million bond issue due March 2032.

The Group had a net cash position of €146 million as of December 31, 2025, in addition to an RCF credit line and a DDTL for a total of €600 million, undrawn as of December 31, 2025, maturing in March 2030 (with two options to extend to March 2031 and March 2032).

Thanks to this solid liquidity position, the Group is confident in its ability to opportunistically arbitrate the strategic allocation of its resources (return to shareholder, M&A, deleveraging) while remaining attentive to its level of leverage ratio.

In addition, the Group is rated by the rating agencies S&P Global, Scope Ratings and Fitch Ratings, which assigned BB+, BBB- and BB+ ratings respectively, with a “stable” outlook.

UNIEURO INTEGRATION

The integration of Unieuro is ongoing, and the French and Italian teams are working together to deploy the strategic initiatives of the Beyond everyday plan. The operating performance of Italy was very satisfactory and alone contributed to more than 60% of the increase in total EBIT of the Rest of Europe zone.

The target of at least €20 million in synergies by the end of 2026 is confirmed. As previously announced, most of these synergies will be achieved in 2026 taking into account the implementation of the actions concerned.

BEYOND EVERYDAY: STRATEGIC AMBITION FOR 2030

With the Everyday plan, Fnac Darty has transformed itself by achieving extensive development of the subscription-based service model, by making sustainability a core part of its vision, by devising and launching new levers for growth, and, finally, by expanding its European footprint with the integration of Unieuro.

With Beyond everyday, published on June 11, 2025, Fnac Darty is building on this profitable growth for a new stage of its development with one ambition: to consolidate its omnichannel and service-based model on a European scale. To that end, the Group will implement three complementary strategic pillars:

•         Becoming the benchmark player in high-value-added products and accelerating the rollout of subscription-based home services with circularity at the core.
•         Setting market standards for customer experience at all touchpoints.
• Applying the Group’s expertise to the benefit of partners and in all geographical locations.

In line with this vision, and assuming that no major changes occur as regards the macroeconomic, geopolitical and fiscal environment, Fnac Darty has announced financial targets for the 2025–2030 period:

• The operating margin is expected to increase to at least 3% by 2030.
• The Group expects to generate cumulative operational free cash-flow¹² of at least €1.2 billion over the period.

With a level of debt that will remain under control in the long term and target leverage of 1.5x¹³ in the medium term, Fnac Darty will pursue a capital allocation strategy that maximizes shareholder value. The Group will give priority to financing profitable organic growth, and to paying a dividend with a payout ratio of at least 40% and a minimum dividend of €1 per share per year. The Group may also carry out M&A transactions or pay a special dividend if results allow. The ambitious environmental and social objectives of the plan Everyday remain in place.

EP GROUP’S PROPOSED TAKEOVER BID FOR FNAC DARTY
On January 26, 2026, Fnac Darty announced that EP Group, a company controlled by Daniel Křetínský, had submitted to the Board of Directors of Fnac Darty a public tender offer for the outstanding shares and OCEANEs of Fnac Darty.

VESA Equity Investment, an affiliate of EP Group, holds 28.5% of Fnac Darty’s share capital.

EP Group also indicated that it did not intend to seek the implementation of a squeeze-out procedure at the end of the offer. The proposed offer is not subject to any success threshold other than the achievement of the legal threshold of more than 50% of the share capital or voting rights.

The Board of Directors has taken note of the Offeror’s intentions to pursue the main strategic orientations implemented by the Company and its management team as presented in its Beyond everyday strategic plan, to maintain its management team, to maintain its headquarters in France and to change the composition of its Board of Directors following the offer in order to reflect its new shareholder structure. EP Group does not intend to change the Company’s dividend policy.

The Board of Directors also noted that the implementation of this project would provide a liquidity opportunity to shareholders who wish to do so at a price of €36 per share, representing a premium of 19% over the last closing share price prior to the announcement of the offer¹⁴, 24% and 26% over the 1- and 3-month volume-weighted average share prices; as well as to holders of OCEANEs at a price of €81.09 per OCEANE¹⁵.

After a thorough examination of the Offeror’s proposal, the Board of Directors has unanimously welcomed the proposed transaction, without prejudice to the reasoned opinion that will be issued by the Board of Directors following the submission of the independent expert’s report or the opinion of the Group Works Council.

The Company will initiate an information and consultation procedure with the Group Works Council in connection with the proposed offer.

In accordance with the provisions of the AMF General Regulation, the Board of Directors has set up an Ad Hoc committee from among its members, composed mainly of independent directors within the meaning of the AFEP-MEDEF Corporate Governance Code. The Committee is chaired by Mrs. Sandra Lagumina (independent director, chairwoman of the Audit Committee) and also includes Mr. Olivier Duha (independent director, Chairman of the Appointments and Remuneration Committee), Mr. Jean-Marc Janaillac (independent director, Chairman of the Corporate, Environmental and Social Responsibility Committee) and Mr. Jacques Veyrat (Chairman of the Board of Directors).

Ledouble, represented by Mrs. Agnès Piniot, has been appointed by the Board of Directors, on the recommendation of the Ad Hoc Committee, as independent expert to prepare a report on the fairness of the financial conditions of the offer.

DIVIDEND
Fnac Darty will propose to the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders, scheduled for May 27, 2026, to approve the distribution of a dividend of €1.00 per share, in line with previous years and the shareholder return policy presented in the Beyond everyday strategic plan. The ex-dividend date is set for June 3, 2026, and the payment date is June 5, 2026.

PERSPECTIVES

The Group expects its current operating margin and free cash flow from operations to increase in 2026.

The Group is confident in its ability to implement the strategic roadmap of the Beyond everyday plan presented on June 11, 2025. The objectives communicated for 2030 are confirmed.

DEFINITIONS OF ALTERNATIVE PERFORMANCE INDICATORS

THE APPLICATION OF THE IFRS 16 STANDARD

On January 13, 2016, the IASB published IFRS 16 on “Leases.” IFRS 16 replaces IAS 17 and its interpretations. This standard, which is mandatory for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019, requires the recognition of an asset (the right of use) and a liability (leasing debt) on the basis of discounted in-substance fixed lease payments.

The Group has applied IFRS 16 since January 1, 2019. In order to ensure the transition between IAS 17 and IFRS 16, all lease and service agreements falling within the scope of 16 have been analyzed.

To monitor its financial performance, the Group publishes indicators that exclude the application of IFRS 16. These indicators are current EBITDA excluding IFRS 16, free cash-flow from operations excluding IFRS 16, and net financial debt excluding IFRS 16.
