About this update from Getlink Se

PARIS, February 26, 2026 --( BUSINESS WIRE )--Regulatory News: Getlink SE (Paris:GET): Yann Leriche, Chief Executive Officer, commented: "Driven by the growth of its historic businesses, the Group has once again demonstrated the strength of its business model, exceeding the EBITDA target set at the beginning of the year. The groundwork laid in terms of quality of service and operational excellence continues to deliver excellent results. Our financial performance, the robustness of our balance sheet and the promising outlook for our markets have led the Board of Directors to propose at the Annual General Meeting a renewed momentum dynamic for our dividend policy , with a distribution of €0.80 per share in 2026 ." Outlook for 2026 The Group’s 2025 EBITDA, restated excluding the Eleclink insurance compensation, amounted to €822 million. The EBITDA target for 2026 is expected to be higher than this level. Against a backdrop of economic uncertainty in Europe and the United Kingdom, and with competition from ferry operators remaining intense, Getlink will continue to pursue its strategy of operational excellence in the service of its customers. Governance 2026 Highlights of the past year > Group > CSR strategy > Eurotunnel: EBITDA up 5% to €667 million Eurotunnel Shuttles Railway Network Other revenues Other revenues rose by 20%, boosted by the development of Getlink Customs Services and its recent acquisitions, including ChannelPorts, ASA and BIMS. Costs and capital expenditure > Eleclink: EBITDA down 1% to €158 million > Europorte: EBITDA up 6% to €34 million Group financial results The Group's consolidated revenue for 2025 was €1,595 million, down 1% compared to 2024 due to the suspension of Eleclink's activity between 25 September 2024 and 5 February 2025 and from 19 May to 2 June 2025, and the evolution in electricity markets. Supported by record high-speed passenger traffic and a 3% increase in LeShuttle's yield, Eurotunnel's revenue grew by 4% and Europorte's by 2%, while Eleclink's revenue fell by 20%. The Group's operating expenses increased by 2% to €791 million. Consolidated EBITDA for 2025 amounted to €859 million, up 4% thanks to growth in historic businesses Eurotunnel (+5%) and Europorte (+6%), which reached record levels. Operating profit of €609 million was up 3% compared to 2024. Net financial expenses remained stable at €293 million. Taxes represented a net income of €4 million (compared with a net income of €13 million in 2024), with the change mainly due to higher current taxes. The Group's consolidated net profit for 2025 was €320 million, up 3% compared to 2024. Operating cash flow was €816 million in 2025, compared with €865 million in 2024. The Group's Free Cash Flow was €374 million in 2025, down €97 million compared to 2024, due to the lower contribution from Eleclink. Cash held at 31 December 2025 amounted to €1,498 million (vs €1,699 million at 31 December 2024). Net debt fell by €184 million to €3,392 million.

About Getlink Getlink SE (Euronext Paris: GET) is, through its subsidiary Eurotunnel, the concessionaire until 2086 of the Channel Tunnel infrastructure and operates Truck and Passenger (cars and coaches) Shuttle services between Folkestone (UK) and Calais (France). Since 31 December 2020, Eurotunnel has been developing smart border services to ensure that the Tunnel remains the fastest, most reliable, easiest and most environmentally friendly way to cross the Channel. Since its inauguration in 1994, more than 537 million people and more than 109 million vehicles have travelled through the Channel Tunnel. This unique land link, which handles a quarter of all trade between the continent and Great Britain, has become a vital link, reinforced by the Eleclink electrical interconnection installed in the Tunnel, which helps to balance the energy needs of France and Great Britain. Getlink complements its sustainable mobility services with its rail freight subsidiary Europorte. Committed to low-carbon services that control their impact on the environment, Getlink places people, nature and the regions at the heart of its concerns. https://www.getlinkgroup.com REVIEW OF THE CONSOLIDATED RESULTS AND FINANCIAL SITUATION FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025 The following information relating to Getlink SE’s financial situation and consolidated results must be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements set out in section 2.2.1 of the 2025 Universal Registration Document. Accounting standards applied and presentation of the consolidated results Pursuant to EC Regulation 297/2008 of 11 March 2008 on the application of international accounting standards, the consolidated financial statements of Getlink SE for the financial year ended 31 December 2025 have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the European Union at 31 December 2025. Context of the preparation of the consolidated annual financial statements The Group's results in 2025 are marked by the strong performance of its long-standing businesses, Eurotunnel and Europorte. The recording in 2025 of insurance compensation for Eleclink’s operating losses resulting from the suspension of its activity in 2024 offsets the decline in its revenue linked to the normalisation of the electricity markets. During 2025, the Group continued to prepare for the future through its operational and commercial performance and capital expenditure, while pursuing its strategy of prudent cash management. The Group has maintained its high level of liquidity, with net cash and cash management financial assets at 31 December 2025 of €1,498 million after a dividend distribution of €314 million and the early debt repayment of €850 million and the issue of €600 million in new Green Bonds (see note A.1 to the financial statements in section 2.2.1 of the 2025 Universal Registration Document). 1 ANALYSIS OF CONSOLIDATED INCOME STATEMENT In order to enable a better comparison between the two years, the 2024 consolidated income statement set out in this section has been recalculated at the exchange rate used for the 2025 income statement of £1=€1.165. Summary At €1,595 million, the Group's consolidated revenue for the 2025 financial year decreased by €10 million (-1%) compared to 2024, due in particular to the impact on Eleclink’s revenue of the normalisation of the energy market and the suspensions of the electricity interconnector’s activity during the first half of 2025. In contrast, revenue for the Eurotunnel and Europorte segments rose by 4% and 2% respectively. As at 31 December 2025, the Group recognised €55 million in other income for operating loss compensation related to the suspension of Eleclink's interconnector service between 25 September 2024 and 5 February 2025. Operating costs of €791 million were up by €12 million (2%) compared to 2024. At €859 million for 2025, current EBITDA improved by €33 million compared to 2024, of which €32 million was due to Eurotunnel and €2 million for Europorte. After taking into account net financial expenses (including other financial income and charges) which were up by €1 million, the Group's pre-tax profit improved by €17 million to €316 million for 2025, compared to €299 million in 2024. After taking into account a net tax income of €4 million (compared with a net tax income of €13 million in 2024, the Group’s net consolidated result for the 2025 financial year was a profit of €320 million, compared to a profit of €312 million (restated) in 2024, an improvement of €8 million. a) Eurotunnel segment This segment includes the activities of the Eurotunnel sub-group companies, as well as those of the Group’s holding company Getlink SE and its other direct subsidiaries excluding the Europorte and ElecLink segments. Eurotunnel, which represents the Group’s core business, operates and directly markets its Shuttle Services in the Tunnel and also provides access, on payment of a toll, for the circulation of the Railway Companies’ High-Speed Passenger Trains (Eurostar) and Rail Freight Services through its Railway Network. i) Eurotunnel revenue Revenue generated by this segment, which in 2025 represented 75% of the Group’s total revenue, was up by 4% compared to 2024, to €1,198 million due to growth in Railways traffic, the strategy focused on service quality and the continued roll-out of the new fare structure for Passenger Shuttles which offer greater booking flexibility tailored to customer needs. Shuttle Services Despite increased competition from ferry companies on the Short Straits market, Shuttle Services’ revenue of €738 million was up by 2% in 2025 compared with 2024. Truck Shuttle The Short Straits truck market contracted by 2.4% in 2025 compared to 2024, and with 1,163,124 trucks carried, Eurotunnel’s traffic decreased by 3% compared to 2024 due to strong competition in the market. In a market that has overcapacity currently, the Truck Shuttle Service remains market leader, with a market share of 35.4% for the year (35.6% in 2024). Passenger Shuttle In a Short Straits market that was stable in 2025 compared to 2024, the Passenger Shuttle Service is marker leader with a car market share of 56.1%, up by 0.8 points year-on-year, despite fierce competition from ferry operators. In a Short Straits coach market that contracted by 10.3% in 2025, Eurotunnel's Passenger Shuttle’s coach traffic contracted by 2% and its market share increased by 1.5 points to 18.5% (2024: 17.0%). Railway Network The Group earned revenues of €411 million in 2025 from the use of its Railway Network by Eurostar’s High-Speed Passenger Trains and by Rail Freight Services, up by 4% compared to 2024 driven by continued growth in Eurostar passenger numbers. In 2025, 11,814,753 Eurostar passengers used the Tunnel, an increase of 5% compared to 2024, with the growth driven in particular by the resumption of direct services between Amsterdam and London, but also by solid demand on traditional routes (London-Paris and London-Brussels). Cross-Channel rail freight traffic was down by 11% in 2025 compared to 2024. Other revenues Other revenues rose by €8 million to €49 million, due to the development of Getlink Customs Services and its recent acquisitions, including ChannelPorts, a company dedicated to assisting carriers with customs clearance for goods arriving in or departing from Great Britain, in April 2024, and ASA and BIMS, leading providers of customs services between France and the United Kingdom, at the end of January 2025. ii) Eurotunnel operating costs In 2025, the Eurotunnel segment’s operating charges increased by 2% compared to 2024 to €531 million, reflecting the strengthening of operational measures in maintenance activities, growth in customs services, and increased taxation, partially offset by lower energy costs and measures to improve productivity. b) Eleclink segment Eleclink’s revenues come mainly from sales of interconnector capacity (see section 1.3 of the 2025 Universal Registration Document). In 2025, Eleclink generated revenues of €225 million and a current EBITDA of €158 million. The decline in Eleclink's revenues in 2025 reflects the expected normalisation of the energy market between France and Great Britain and the effects of the interruption of activity until 5 February 2025. As at 31 December 2025, the Group recognised €55 million in compensation for operating losses related to the suspension of Eleclink's interconnector service between 25 September 2024 and 5 February 2025 (see note A.2 to the consolidated financial statements in section 2.2.1 of the 2025 Universal Registration Document). In 2025, Eleclink’s operating costs totalled €122 million, including a provision of €80 million in respect of profit sharing (see note D.8 to the consolidated financial statements in section 2.2.1 of the 2025 Universal Registration Document). c) Europorte segment The Europorte segment, which covers the entire rail freight transport logistics chain in France as well as cross-border flows to Belgium and Germany, includes most notably Europorte France and Socorail. In 2025, Europorte recorded an increase of €2 million (6%) in current EBITDA, driven by sustained traction activities in France and by the strong performance of its recent acquisitions and its focus on value-added contracts. d) Current EBITDA Current EBITDA by business segment evolved as follows: Eurotunnel and Europorte's current EBITDA rose by €32 million and €2 million respectively. The normalisation of the energy market and the suspension of Eleclink's activity in the fourth quarter of 2024 and for part of the first half of 2025 had a substantial impact on Eleclink's current EBITDA in 2024 and 2025, which is down €56 million in 2025 before taking into account insurance compensation of €55 million recognised in the year. The Group's EBITDA increased by 4% compared to 2024 and amounted to €859 million for the 2025 financial year. e) Trading profit and operating profit (EBIT) At €229 million, depreciation charges were stable compared to 2024. Trading profit in 2025 improved by €33 million compared to 2024, to €630 million. After taking into account other net operating expenses of €21 million related to the disposal or write off of fixed assets as presented in note D.5 of the consolidated financial statements in section 2.2.1 of the 2025 Universal Registration Document (2024: €6 million), the operating result for the 2025 financial year was a profit of €609 million, up by €18 million compared to 2024. f) Net financial charges At €279 million for 2025, net finance costs increased by €29 million compared to 2024 at a constant exchange rate mainly due to higher inflation rates in the United Kingdom increasing charges on the index-linked tranches of the debt (increase of €10 million) as well €22 million less interest received on cash investments largely related to the net repayment of €250 million in debt as part of the refinancing of the Green Bonds (see note A.1 to the consolidated financial statements in section 2.2.1 of the 2025 Universal Registration Document). In 2025, other net financial charges of €14 million were down by €28 million due in particular to changes in foreign exchange gains and losses, with net exchange gains of €8 million 2025 compared with exchange losses of €16 million in 2024, representing a favourable change of €24 million. This category also includes a charge of €30 million (2024: €32 million) for the unwinding of the provision for Eleclink's profit sharing (see note D.8 to the consolidated financial statements in section 2.2.1 of the 2025 Universal Registration Document) and interest income on the G2 notes held by the Group, €3 million to €13 million due to higher inflation rates. g) Net consolidated result The Group’s pre-tax result for the 2025 financial year was a profit of €316 million, an improvement of €17 million compared to 2024 at a constant exchange rate. The evolution of the pre-tax result by segment compared to 2024 is presented below: After taking into account a net tax income of €4 million, the net consolidated result for the Group in 2025 was a profit of €320 million compared to a profit of €312 million in 2024 at an equivalent exchange rate, an improvement of €8 million. 2 ANALYSIS OF CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL POSITION The table above summarises the Group’s consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2025 and 31 December 2024. The main elements and changes between the two dates, presented at the exchange rate for each period, are as follows: 3 ANALYSIS OF CONSOLIDATED CASH FLOWS At €861 million in 2025, net cash generated from trading decreased by €41 million compared to 2024. This change is explained mainly by the impact of the normalisation of the energy market and the suspensions of the interconnector’s activity on Eleclink’s contribution while both the Eurotunnel and Europorte segments increased: In 2025, the Group made payments of €45 million for corporation tax compared with payments of €37 million in 2024, the variation being explained by changes in the activity of the various businesses. In 2025, net cash payments for investing activities of €206 million increased by €2 million compared to 2024. In 2025, these comprised: Net financing payments in 2025 amounted to €569 million compared to €538 million in 2024. During 2025, these included: Net cash outflows from financial operations amounted to €223 million in 2025 in respect of the refinancing of the Green Bonds with the net repayment of €250 million and €4 million in fees (see notes A.1 and G.1.1 of the consolidated financial statements in section 2.2.1 of the 2025 Universal Registration Document) as well as the receipt of €31 million previously held in the Green Bond "Debt Service Reserve Account". Cash investments with a maturity of more than three months recognised under other financial assets at 31 December 2025 decreased by €6 million compared with 31 December 2024 (at 31 December 2024, they decreased by €127 million compared with 31 December 2023). 4 KEY FINANCIAL INDICATORS Free Cash Flow The Group’s Free Cash Flow represents the cash generated by current activities in the normal course of business. It can be used to distribute dividends to shareholders and to make strategic investments in the Group’s development. The Group defines its Free Cash Flow as net cash flow from its current activities excluding extraordinary or exceptional cash movements in respect of the equity-related cash flows, financial transactions such as the raising of new debt to help finance new activities, debt refinancing, renegotiation or early repayment as well as investment in new activities or the divestment of activities and related assets, and excluding changes in the amount of cash management financial assets. At €374 million in 2025, Free Cash Flow from continuing activities decreased by €97 million compared to 2024 for the reasons set out above. Current EBITDA to finance cost ratio The ratio of the Group’s consolidated current EBITDA to its finance costs (excluding interest received and indexation) was 3.3 at 31 December 2025 (2024 restated: 3.1). Net debt to current EBITDA ratio The Group defines its net debt to current EBITDA ratio as the ratio between financial liabilities less the indexed nominal value of the G2 notes held by the Group and cash, cash equivalents and cash management financial assets, and consolidated current EBITDA. At 31 December 2025, the ratio was 3.9 compared to 4.3 at 31 December 2024. 5 COVENANTS RELATING TO THE GROUP’S DEBT Eurotunnel The debt service cover ratio and the synthetic service cover ratio on the Term Loan apply to the Eurotunnel Holding SAS sub-group. These ratios are described in note G.1.2.b to the consolidated financial statements contained in section 2.2.1 of the 2025 Universal Registration Document. At 31 December 2025, Eurotunnel has respected its financial covenants under the Term Loan with a debt service cover ratio and a synthetic service cover ratio of approximately 1.74. Getlink The conditions attached to the 2030 Green Bonds issued by Getlink SE include financial ratios, or incurrence covenants, the non-compliance with which may prevent the completion of certain transactions such as the payment of dividends or the raising of additional financing, without however giving rise to an event of default. The Group complied with these ratios as at 31 December 2025.
