Tools recorded a turnover of €8.1M for the period.
NET CASH POSITION OF €149.3M
With investments of €17.5M in the first half of the year and before disbursement of the dividend, the consolidated net cash excluding the impact of lease liabilities amounted to €149.3M as of June 30, 2025.
In addition, as part of its supplier partnership with Holding Enricau, of which the Group is a co-shareholder, AKWEL purchased 100% of three industrial buildings located at Thyez and Ayse in Haute-Savoie from Bionnassay Real Estate on July 24, 2025, for €15.9 million, including borrowings. These properties will be sold in the short term.
PERSPECTIVES FOR 2025
In view of the changes in activity recorded over the first two quarters of the financial year, AKWEL confirms that it anticipates a decrease in turnover for 2025, but to a lesser extent than in 2024.
POSTPONEMENT OF THE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING AND PAYMENT OF DIVIDENDS
The postponement of the general meeting to September 30, 2025 at the latest has been authorized by the Commercial Court of Bourg-en-Bresse. As statutory auditing work on the 2024 accounts is still ongoing, AKWEL will inform the market of the new timeline as soon as possible. Dividends for the 2024 financial year will be paid subsequent to the General Meeting.
