Activity of the second quarter 2026: +17% organic revenue growth

Published on July 29, 2026 – News

Exail Technologies delivered a strong second quarter of 2026, posting organic revenue growth of +17% compared with the same period last year. This performance was achieved against a particularly demanding comparison base, as revenue had increased by 52% in the 2ⁿᵈ quarter 2025. The Group therefore reported a very strong start to the year, with 27% organic revenue growth in the 1ˢᵗ half of 2026.

Order intake reached €116 million in the 2ⁿᵈ quarter 2026. The year-on-year change mainly reflects the timing of notifications for major maritime robotics programs, whose contribution can vary significantly from one year to another. Commercial momentum nevertheless remained robust, supported in particular by strong growth in navigation systems orders, up approximately 40%, and photonics orders, which increased by 47%.

The key event of the quarter was the announcement, on July 6, 2026, of the agreement signed between Gorgé SA, Exail Technologies’ controlling shareholder, and Thales regarding the acquisition by Thales of the stake held by the Gorgé family in Exail Technologies. The transaction is expected to be followed by the filing of a mandatory tender offer for all outstanding Exail Technologies securities. A dedicated press release was published on this occasion.
