Consolidated revenue: + 7,9%

For the full year 2025, revenue amounts to € 3,372.0 million representing a 7.9% increase compared to 2024. This increase includes an 8.4% scope impact related to the integration of OPENJOBMETIS in Italy, consolidated since May 2024. On an TDA organic basis2, revenue is stable compared to 2024. International sales represent 45% of the Group's total revenue.

Temporary work: resilience of the activity in France and internationally

Temporary work (86.7% of total activity) shows a turnover of € 2,924.3 million3 up by 8.6%.

This increase is driven by the full-year integration of OJM, compared to eight months last year. At constant scope and exchange rates, revenue remained stable thanks to improved activity at the end of the year, with organic growth of 2% in the fourth quarter. International business accounts for nearly half of the division's activity, illustrating the Group's growing geographic diversification.

France: -2.5% in organic TDA2

In France (52,4% of the division's activity), revenue reached € 1,533.9 million, down 2.5% on an organic TDA basis2 compared to 2024. Activity stabilized in the fourth quarter with initial signs of recovery in several sectors, particularly in automotive and aeronautics.

International: +24.9%

Internationally (representing 47,6% of the division's activity), revenue reached € 1,390.3 million, up by 24.9% (+1,8% at constant scope and exchange rates). This growth was driven by the full-year integration of OJM in Italy, compared to 8 months in 2024. As in France, business improved in the fourth quarter, with revenue increasing by 4.4% at constant scope and exchange rates.

Airport services: growth driven by consistently high levels of activity

Airport activities (13,7% of total activity) generated revenue of € 462.7 million3, up by 4.0% (+4,2% at constant scope and exchange rates). France continued to benefit from strong air traffic, generating revenue of € 335.7 million up by 3.4%, while international activity was solid with revenue of € 127 million, up by 5.7% (+6.4% at constant scope and exchange rates).

Resilient results and a solid financial position

For the year, the Group's EBITDA amounted to € 145.3 million compared to € 149,1 million in 2024 and the margin was 4.3%.

Temporary work reports an EBITDA of € 105.5 million and a margin of 3.6%.

In France, the Group reports an EBITDA of € 59.1 million, representing a margin of 3.9%, while internationally, EBITDA amounts to €46.4 million, representing a margin of 3.3%.

In airport services, EBITDA amounted to € 39.7 million, representing 8.6% of revenue. In France, the Group posted an EBITDA of € 25.4 million, representing a margin of 7.6%, while internationally, EBITDA amounted to € 14.3 million, representing a margin of 11.3%.

After taking into account the net depreciation charges, which increased by € 5.6 million, mainly due to the integration of OJM over the entire year compared to 8 months in 2024, the current operating income amounted to € 89.2 million compared to € 98.6 million in 2024.

The other charges relate to the impairment of US entities for € 26.1 million. Indeed, in a less than favorable environment and with results below expectations, the group decided to apply a prudent policy to its assumptions in its annual impairment tests but remains confident in the potential for recovery.

The financial result, negative by € 2.4 million, is explained by a € 6.6 million exchange loss relating to USD-denominated assets, and a net financial income of € 4.2 million.

In total, the Group's net result, after taking into account a tax expense of € 30.1 million, amounts to € 31.2 million.

As of December 31, 2025, with cash flow from operations of € 136,9 million and net financial debt corresponding to a cash surplus of € 135,1 million, the Group has a solid financial position.

2026 outlook: Reaffirmed confidence

Despite the caution required by the geopolitical situation and its potential impact on global growth, the Group approaches 2026 financial year with confidence. Following on from the fourth quarter of 2025, the improvement in demand in the temporary staffing markets in both Europe and the United States is confirmed. Visibility in the airport sector remains good. In this context, Groupe CRIT reaffirms its adaptability and will continue to demonstrate its agility and capacity for growth through the diversity of its offering, the strength of its network, and its international presence.

Finally, in the coming months, the Group intends to pursue its acquisition strategy.

Dividend 2025: € 1,50 /share

The General Meeting of Shareholders on June 5, 2026 will propose the payment of a dividend of € 1,50 per share, payable on July 6, 2026.

As a reminder, following the acquisition of OPENJOBMETIS, the Group's management decided to change the organization of its reporting and make its sector information easier to read. Activity monitoring and internal reporting are now structured around two distinct operating segments:

  • The "Temporary Work" activity, human resources consulting activity and Group's historical core business includes recruitment as well as now other activities for the delegation of qualified staff (engineering consulting, industrial maintenance, training, etc…).
  • The "Airport services" activity includes services provided in an airport environment relating to passengers, aircraft, and cargo.

The following comparative financial information has been restated based on this new organization.
