Ancenis, July 30, 2025

The Board of Directors of Manitou BF, chaired by Jacqueline Himsworth, today approved the group's consolidated financial statements for the first half of 2025.

Michel Denis, President & CEO, stated: "In a degraded environment, activity in the first half of 2025 shows a decline compared to a particularly dynamic first half of 2024, in line with our expectations. However, the volume of order intakes is increasing, as well as our market shares, reflecting the commitment of our teams to expand our offer and better meet the needs of our customers. This momentum is particularly visible in Europe, driven by a decrease in interest rates and inflation.

Our order book represents approximately 6 months of activity, an adapted horizon to the needs of our clients. To date, it allows us to envisage an improvement in performance in the second half of the year.

In this degraded context, the group has strengthened its position in the majority of geographic areas. The anticipated decline in revenue in the first half of the year is particularly noticeable among rental companies.

The financial performance for the half-year was affected by the contraction in activity and an increased pressure on selling prices. Thus, the recurring operating profit stands at 5.1% of revenue, down from the record level reached in the first half of 2024.

The group continues to reduce its inventories and its net debt by 71 million euros. It stands at 299 million euros as of June 30, 2025.

At present, we believe our ability to offset the first-half activity decline in the second half, thereby achieving stable 2025 revenue compared to 2024. The recurring operating profit is expected to be around 5.5%. However, the U.S. tariff announcement may lead to significant market changes that are difficult to anticipate.

We also remain fully committed to the group’s transformation through the implementation of the new 2026-2030 “LIFT” strategic roadmap and to consolidate our growth momentum, by capitalizing on our innovation capacity, the complementarity of our Product and Services offers and the commitment of our teams worldwide.

Thus, as part of its strategy to transition to more sustainable handling solutions, the group is actively pursuing the electrification of its range with the first deliveries of 100% electric telehandlers for the construction market, equipped with electric batteries developed in-house by its subsidiary, easyLi, acquired in 2023.

In addition, in July 2025, the group signed an agreement with its historical partner Hangcha, with a view to creating a joint-venture based in France (Le Mans) dedicated to the manufacturing and distribution of lithium-ion batteries for industrial forklifts."

Review by division

As of June 2025, the Product division reported revenues of €1,063 million, a decrease of 11.6% compared to the first half of 2024 (-11.3% at constant scope and exchange rate). This evolution is mainly explained by the wait-and-see attitude of certain market players, particularly rental companies, in an uncertain market environment.

The division's gross profit stood at €165.2 million, decreasing compared to a record first half of 2024. This decline is explained by reduced activity and increased competitive pressure on selling prices.

In this context, the recurring operating profit of the Product division amounted to €55.7 million, representing 5.2% of revenue, compared to €119.3 million one year earlier (9.9% of revenue).

With revenues of €211 million, the Services & Solutions division (S&S) recorded growth of +3.6% over the first six months of the year (+3.9% at constant scope and exchange rates), confirming its resilience in a contrasting environment. This performance was mainly driven by the momentum of the spare parts and accessories activities, as well as the development of the services activities.

The gross profit increased by €1.2 million (+2.2%) compared to the first half of 2024, reaching €54.1 million.

In this context, the division's operating profitability stands at €9.0 million, or 4.3% of revenue, an increase of €0.8 million compared to the first half of 2024 (€8.2 million, or 4.0% of sales).

ACQUISITIONS AND ADDITIONAL EQUITY INVESTMENT

MN-LIFTTEK OY

Following the acquisition of the remaining 14% minority interest in June 2025, the Manitou Group now holds 100% of the share capital of the company MNLifttek Oy (Finland). Since 2022, the company had already been fully consolidated and 100% interest percentage was accounted for, resulting from crosspurchase and call options. The impact of this transaction is not significant on the group's financial statements.

SITIA

The group has finalized the acquisition of Sitia's robotics business for €0.8 million. A team of 7 employees with expertise in robot development will join the R&D teams at Manitou Group. This acquisition also includes the intellectual property of Sitia's robotics business unit.

This transaction constitutes a purchase of individual assets, analyzed outside the scope of IFRS 3.

INFORMATION ON OPERATING SEGMENTS

CONSOLIDATED INCOME STATEMENT BY DIVISION

In accordance with IFRS 8, the information by operating segment is prepared on the basis of operating reports submitted to group management. This information is prepared in accordance with the IFRS applicable to consolidated financial statements.

The group is organised around two operating divisions:

§ the Product division includes all French, Italian, American, and Indian production sites dedicated in particular to telehandlers, industrial masted forklift trucks and all-terrain trucks, truck-mounted forklifts, aerial work platforms, compact wheel loaders, compact track loaders, and articulated compact loaders, backhoe loaders and telescopic loaders. Its mission is to optimize the development and production of Manitou, Gehl, and Mustang by Manitou brand name products;

§ the S&S (Services & Solutions) division includes service activities to support sales (financing approaches, warranty contracts, maintenance and full service contracts, fleet management, etc.), after-sales services (spare parts, technical training, warranty contract management, used equipment management, etc.) and services to end users (geolocation, user training, advice, etc.). The aim of this division is to create service offers to meet the expectations of each of our customers in our value chain and increase the resilience of group sales.

These two divisions design and assemble the products and services that are distributed by the sales and marketing organization to dealers and the Group’s major accounts in 140 countries.

In April 2025, Manitou Group, announced a new strategic roadmap “LIFT” to consolidate its global leadership and provide its customers with distinctive solutions, by engaging its employees and partners in innovation, focusing on solutions with a positive societal and environmental impact.

It operates in an unprecedentedly volatile geopolitical and economic environment, which requires the group to continue to adapt constantly in order to consolidate its leadership position and offer its customers increasingly sustainable and efficient solutions.

Based on 4 pillars (leading on material handling and people elevation markets, innovating with sustainability mindset, focusing on customer experience and transforming ourselves for tomorrow).

To achieve these objectives and better respond to customer needs and market requirements, the group will evolve its current organization with two divisions (Product division and Services & Solutions) towards an organization divided into three geographical areas: North America, Europe, and LAPAM (Latin America, Asia-Pacific, Africa, and the Middle East).

Each zone will manage its own operational and financial performance. This new organization will be operational on January 1st, 2026.
