Activity of the first half 2022 : €60 million of order intake in Drones & Systems and +16% revenue growth in naval and maritime activities

Groupe Gorgé realized €97 million of revenues in the first half of 2022, 2/3 of which were generated by the Drones & Systems division. This activity continues to accelerate, with strong revenue growth in the naval and maritime sector (+16% in the first half of the year) in a context of rising defense budgets worldwide. The commercial successes of the first half of the year for this division are reflected in new orders of more than €60 million (+84% compared with the first half of 2021) across several defense programs. The end of the half-year was marked by an acceleration of commercial efforts. More than €200 million in tenders are underway for underwater mine hunting programs on which the Group is positioned and which should be decided within the next 18 months.

At the same time, the execution of the merger between ECA Group and iXblue is proceeding as planned and should be completed by the end of the third quarter 2022.
