PART 1: ECONOMIC INFORMATION
- REVIEW OF OPERATIONS AND RESULTS FOR THE YEAR UNDER REVIEW
Haulotte Group is one of the major players in the self-propelled aerial work platform market, operating as a generalist manufacturer with a presence across the main product families (telescopic, articulated, scissor and vertical mast lifts) and as a seller on all five continents.
The downturn in the global aerial work platform market, which began in the second half of 2023, continued throughout 2025. The market reached its lowest level since the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020, primarily impacted by a further sharp decline in the Chinese market. Against this backdrop of an uncertain market environment, Haulotte reported annual revenue of €511 million in 2025, down -20% compared to 2024 (or down -18% excluding the effects of IAS 29 and IFRS 16 and at constant exchange rates).
In Europe, strong commercial performance at year-end enabled the Group to record slight growth of +2% (or +2% excluding IAS 29 and IFRS 16 and at constant exchange rates), driven by higher volumes of new equipment sales.
In the Asia-Pacific region, where activity remained subdued across the vast majority of markets, Haulotte recorded a decline in revenue of -25% compared to 2024 (or -19% excluding IAS 29 and IFRS 16 and at constant exchange rates).
In North America, no tangible signs of a recovery in activity have yet been observed. Across all businesses, sales in the region declined sharply by -42% compared to the prior year (or -40% excluding IAS 29 and IFRS 16 and at constant exchange rates).
In Latin America, the downward trend observed since the beginning of the year across nearly all markets continued. As a result, the Group recorded a decline in sales of -43% (or -35% excluding IAS 29 and IFRS 16 and at constant exchange rates).
Over the year as a whole, equipment sales declined by -22%, rental activity by -20%, and service activity by -6% (or respectively -20%, -8% and -4% excluding IAS 29 and IFRS 16 and at constant exchange rates).
In addition, on December 16, Haulotte entered into a new syndicated credit facility agreement with its banking partners in an amount of €130 million, identical to the previous facility, thereby securing its primary source of financing for the years ahead.
The financial year ended December 31, 2025, submitted for approval to the ordinary general meeting of shareholders, is the forty-first financial year since the Company's incorporation.

- PROGRESS MADE OR DIFFICULTIES ENCOUNTERED
The downturn in the global aerial work platform market continued throughout 2025, reaching its lowest level since the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020.
Despite a decline over the financial year, the North American market remains the world's largest, driven mainly by major infrastructure and "mega-projects" (data centers, artificial intelligence, semiconductors, etc.).
The Chinese market experienced another very sharp decline, characterized by excess capacity among Chinese rental companies, lower utilization rates, and strong downward pressure on rental prices.
Following a year in 2024 marked by massive imports of aerial work platforms manufactured in China, in anticipation of the introduction of customs duties, the European market-although down in 2025-was the only market to show a rebound toward the end of the year.
The effects of the introduction of customs duties in Europe on machines imported from China, and more broadly in the United States, remain difficult to assess.
Meanwhile, the presence of Chinese manufacturers (electrification, expansion of product ranges, deployment of distribution networks and industrial footprints) continues across the vast majority of geographic regions.
In this context, Haulotte reported current operating income (before foreign exchange gains and losses) of
€-5 million, corresponding to a current operating margin of -0.9% of revenue, down by €-50 million compared to 2024. This decline reflects adverse mix and volume effects as well as pressure on selling prices, despite efforts that enabled reductions in variable production costs and the Group's fixed costs.
The Group's net income amounted to €-38 million, representing -7.4% of revenue, a sharp decline compared to 2024, mainly attributable to financial expenses, the weakening of numerous currencies against the euro, and an adjustment of deferred taxes linked to the current situation.
7
The Group's net debt (excluding guarantees and IFRS 16) amounted to €183 million, down by €-17 million over the period, driven by very strong free cash flow generation in the second half of the year (+€37 million), primarily resulting from a reduction in inventories.

Changes in the presentation of the annual accounts or methods of valuation, applied in prior years
As from the 2025 financial year, the Company has applied the new French General Chart of Accounts ("Plan Comptable Général - PCG 2025") as defined by ANC Regulation No. 2022-06, which is mandatory for all financial years beginning on or after January 1, 2025.
The changes introduced by this new regulation, as well as the applicable accounting principles, are presented in the accounting methods and principles set out in Note 2 to the notes to the statutory financial statements.
Analysis of parent company results
The downturn in the global aerial work platform market, which began in the second half of 2023, continued throughout 2025. The market reached its lowest level since the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020, mainly impacted by a further sharp decline in the Chinese market. Against this backdrop of an uncertain market environment, Haulotte Group SA reported revenue of €167 million, down by €79 million, representing a decrease of -32% compared with 2024.
Over the year, Haulotte Group SA's operating result remained negative and amounted to €-33 million in 2025, compared with €-16 million in 2024.
Net financial income of €+22 million is mainly attributable to dividend distributions received from certain Group subsidiaries during the 2025 financial year.
As a result of these factors, the 2025 financial year ended with a net loss of €-7.5 million.
In accordance with the provisions of Article R.225-102 of the French Commercial Code, this report includes, in the appendix, a table presenting the Company's results for each of the last five financial years.

- COMPREHENSIVE ANALYSIS OF THE COMPANY'S REVENUE, EARNINGS AND FINANCIAL POSITION, AND PARTICULARLY DEBT WITH RESPECT TO THE VOLUME AND COMPLEXITY OF BUSINESS ACTIVITY
Please refer to paragraphs 1, 2 and 3 above and 6.2 and 7 below.
- ANALYSIS OF KEY INDICATORS OF A FINANCIAL AND NON-FINANCIAL NATURE RELATING TO THE COMPANY'S SPECIFIC BUSINESS, AND IN PARTICULAR INFORMATION RELATING TO ENVIRONMENTAL
AND STAFF ISSUES
Please refer to paragraphs 1, 2 and 3 above, and to Section 5 below of this report (Appendix 6 - Sustainability Statement).
- KEY RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES - THE COMPANY'S EXPOSURE TO RISKS CONCERNING PRICE, CREDIT, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES -INFORMATION ON MARKET RISKS
In accordance with the provisions of article L.225-100-1 of the French Commercial Code, a description of key risks and uncertainties facing the Company is presented below.
Key risks and uncertainties
As the Company relies on a large number of components in its production process, the main risk lies in its ability to secure supplies from its suppliers. The diversification of suppliers, which has been extensively pursued for several years, must continue in order to avoid supply disruptions. Monitoring of the financial situation of the most sensitive suppliers has been implemented for several financial years, and specific measures have been taken to ensure the continuous adaptation of the industrial model to market demand.
The second significant risk is market risk. Although the easing of tensions in component supply chains is now a reality, continued vigilance remains necessary in a global economic and political environment that continues to show signs of uncertainty. The highlights presented in the consolidated notes provide a more detailed description of the 2025 business environment.
9
The third significant risk relates to the sensitivity of sales to credit restrictions in financial markets. HAULOTTE GROUP offers its customers financing solutions through financial institutions or, for a non-material portion of its sales, through direct financing, while maintaining a reasonable level of risk.
Exposure of consolidated entities to price, credit, liquidity, foreign exchange, interest rate and cash flow risks
Credit and liquidity risks
Please refer to Note 13 to the Company's statutory financial statements.
On December 16, 2025, a new syndicated credit facility was entered into for an amount of €130 million, identical to the previous facility, enabling the Group to secure its main source of financing. The maturity of this facility is three years, with an extension option of up to five years.
The syndicated credit facility signed in December 2025, the State-Guaranteed Loan (PGE) signed in June 2022, and the "club deal" facility signed in July 2021 are not secured by collateral; however, they contain a number of customary covenants that the Group is required to comply with throughout their respective terms. These three facilities are linked by cross-default clauses.
The financial ratios to be complied with are measured either on a monthly basis, based on management certifications, or on a semi-annual basis, based on the consolidated financial statements as of June 30 and December 31 of each year, using aggregates derived from the financial statements.
The Group has complied with all of its contractual obligations under each of these facilities for the period ended December 2025, in accordance with the agreements reached with all lenders at the time of the execution of the new syndicated credit facility.
In an environment currently characterized by limited visibility across all markets, the Group expects to comply with its financial covenants as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2026.
This projection is part of a gradual return to historically observed revenue and margin levels, supported by a pespective of market dynamics, as well as on the continuation of efforts to rationalize working capital requirements (especially inventories) and operating expenses.
Foreign exchange and interest rate risks
The Company does not have a policy of systematic use of interest rate or foreign exchange hedging instruments. However, transactions are carried out depending on market opportunities.
These transactions are nevertheless undertaken solely for the purpose of hedging existing assets or liabilities, and not for speculative purposes.
- FORSEEABLE CHANGES IN THE COMPANY'S SITUATION AND OUTLOOK
Despite continued limited visibility and a generally uncertain global environment, Haulotte should be in a position to report growth in sales in 2026, the extent of which will depend largely on the recovery of the North American market. This should enable the Group to return to a positive current operating margin.
During this period, Haulotte will continue its efforts to optimize working capital requirements, particularly inventories, in order to improve free cash flow, as well as its initiatives to restore margins through cost optimization, optimize operating expenses, defer non-strategic investments, and pursue projects aimed at improving operational efficiency.
- IMPORTANT POST-CLOSING EVENTS BETWEEN THE END OF THE FINANCIAL PERIOD AND THE DATE OF THE MANAGEMENT REPORT
The post-closing events are detailed in Note 3 of the Annexes to the Company accounts.

- ESSENTIAL INTANGIBLE RESOURCES OF THE COMPANY AND THEIR CONTRIBUTION TO VALUE CREATION
Haulotte Group's business model is based on a strategic combination of tangible and intangible resources, which are at the core of our competitiveness and our ability to innovate in the field of people-lifting equipment. Our intangible assets, in particular, play a fundamental role in differentiating our offering and creating value for the Group. These resources are not only essential to our short-term performance, but also represent key levers for sustainable growth and our ability to adapt to market transformations.
Intellectual Property and product innovation
Intellectual property is at the core of our differentiation strategy. Our patents and inventions are key assets that help us protect our technical innovations in a constantly evolving market. These innovations enhance Haulotte's competitiveness by addressing increasingly demanding requirements, particularly in terms of energy performance and sustainability.
Know-how and human capital
Our teams' know-how is a strategic intangible resource. Our skilled personnel, along with our expertise in engineering, production and after-sales service, form a core part of our business model. Haulotte continues to invest in training and skills development for its employees, while maintaining a strong culture of innovation and agility. We hope this expertise will allow Haulotte to respond quickly and accurately to customer needs and the specific international market demands. We aim to make this expertise a key lever for long-term value creation, driven by the ongoing improvement of our products and services.
Information systems and digitalization
Digital technologies and information systems play a central role in the transformation and efficiency of Haulotte's business model. Beyond management tools, our digital infrastructures are also strategic levers that allow us to reinvent the customer experience and optimize every aspect of our value chain. By managing the data collected and analyzing product performance, we aim to offer tailored solutions to specific customer needs, while anticipating and resolving issues before they arise. This approach not only strengthens our operational efficiency and profitability but also creates a better customer experience. These digital resources are therefore essential for creating sustainable value, enhancing equipment performance and solidifying Haulotte's position as a trusted market player.
Reputation and brand image
As a designer of aerial work solutions, we aim to promote the most valuable aerial-working experiences, synonymous with reliability, quality and high safety standards. This mindset is crucial for maintaining the trust of our customers, particularly in an industry where safety requirements and regulatory compliance are especially strict. The brand's reputation allows us to strengthen our leadership in the aerial equipment market, expand into new markets and maintain long-term strategic partnerships.
Business relations and commercial networks
Haulotte strives to maintain strong and lasting relationships with its suppliers, customers and other stakeholders, both nationally and internationally. These relationships are built on trust, transparency and collaboration, and play a key role in the company's success by establishing an efficient supply chain that contributes to customer satisfaction.
11
These intangible resources, combined with a constant innovation strategy and a commitment to high safety standards, are all fundamental to maintaining the Company's competitiveness in a demanding, highly regulated and constantly evolving sector. They are a key source of value creation for the company and its stakeholders (customers, suppliers, etc.), not only ensuring the sustainability of its operations but also generating new growth opportunities through the development of new products and services.
- RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE COMPANY
The Company's efforts in Research and Development continued throughout the financial year.
The year 2025 was marked by the continued development of our product offerings, with the launch of new solutions in the aerial work platform market, including:
a new 20-meter electric rough-terrain articulated boom, the HA20 E;
and a new 21-meter electric rough-terrain scissor lift, the HS21 E & HS21 E PRO,
designed to better meet evolving customer requirements, particularly in terms of higher load capacities, environmental challenges, and local regulations governing engine emissions.
The Group also continued its developments in the field of safety. Marketed in 2025, the FASTN system enables construction companies to enhance the safety of aerial work platform (MEWP) operators by detecting the proper anchoring of their safety harness. This is the first universal, connected fall-prevention system designed for aerial work platforms. This development was carried out under an intrapreneurship approach.
Haulotte also unveiled its new Drive Assist solutions. These innovations are designed to reduce risks and strengthen user confidence in complex and realistic operating conditions:
Operator Driving Assistance: detects hazardous driving behavior and alerts the operator in real time to help prevent accidents.
Pedestrian Detection Assistance: combines an intelligent camera with an alert system to reduce the risk of collisions between the platform and pedestrians.High-visibility platform: improves machine visibility in low-light conditions, thereby reducing the risk of accidental contact with people or objects.Obstacle
Detection Assistance: prevents collisions between the machine's upper structure and surrounding obstacles, particularly in areas where operator visibility is limited.
At the same time, as part of its CSR roadmap, the Company continues to advance its research into optimizing the energy mix applicable to its products, notably through developments related to fuel cell technology.
In the medium term, R&D efforts aim to accelerate the launch of new machines with a reduced carbon footprint and enhanced digital capabilities.
Research and development expenses amounted to €16,934 thousand for the 2025 financial year.

- INTERNAL CONTROL AND RISK MANAGEMENT PROCEDURES ADOPTED BY THE COMPANY AND IN PARTICULAR THOSE RELATING TO THE PREPARATION AND PROCESSING OF FINANCIAL AND ACCOUNTING INFORMATION
Objectives of the Company in the areas of internal control and risk management procedures
The internal control procedures in place within the Company are designed to ensure that management actions and the execution of transactions, as well as employee conduct, fall within the framework defined by the strategic guidelines set by the corporate governance bodies, by applicable laws and regulations, and by the Company's internal values, standards and rules. They are also intended to ensure that the accounting, financial and management information communicated to the Company's corporate bodies faithfully reflects the Company's operations and financial position, as well as those of its subsidiaries.
One of the objectives of internal control is to prevent and manage risks arising from the activities of the Company and its subsidiaries, as well as the risks of errors or fraud, particularly in the accounting and financial areas (operational, financial, compliance or other risks).
Our risk management framework, the cornerstone of which is the risk mapping process, is based on the coordinated involvement of the Group's central functions and operational entities. It is subject to regular monitoring, including periodic reviews, awareness-raising actions and targeted control measures, ensuring structured reporting to management and the governance bodies. The findings derived from these activities feed into a continuous improvement process aimed at strengthening the effectiveness of existing systems and the management of major risks.
Like any control system, however, it cannot provide absolute assurance that all risks to which the Group is exposed have been fully eliminated.
Summary of procedures in place
General organization for internal control and risk management procedures at the Company level
Each department, at both headquarters and subsidiary level, is responsible for implementing and monitoring internal control procedures.
These internal control procedures are under the responsibility of the Group Finance Department and the Group Corporate Secretariat, which are responsible for drafting and promoting them and for ensuring their consistency and proper functioning. A core set of written internal procedures is available on the Company's intranet.
Presentation of Summary Information on the Internal Control and Risk Management Procedures Implemented by the Company
Internal control within the Group:
The Group's internal control is placed under the responsibility of the Executive Committee (COMEX).
It extends to all Group subsidiaries and concerns the entire organization (administrative, accounting and financial, functional and operational processes).
Main missions include:
15
Ensuring that risks are controlled and managed
Implementing internal procedures and contributing to improvement thereof
Implementing a continuous improvement approach
Finance Division:
The Finance Division draws up written procedures covering the main subjects and financial flows within the Group. These procedures are disseminated to all financial contacts at the head office and subsidiaries, and updated on a regular basis.
The Finance Division includes the following departments:
Management Control Department:
This department includes two units :
an industrial management control unit represented at each production site, and by a dedicated team at headquarters for R&D, purchasing and quality functions,
a management control unit for distribution subsidiaries, spearheaded from the head office, ensuring financial oversight for the Group's different distribution and service subsidiaries in coordination with the regional financial controllers.
In addition, the regional financial controller acts as an intermediary between the Group and the controller for each subsidiary in its region. This division ensures management control for the support and equipment rental business functions.
These teams contribute to implementing the internal control procedures by:
ensuring the security of assets, particularly through inventory procedures,
ensuring and assisting in the dissemination of the Group's accounting and management rules,
ensuring that expenditures are incurred in accordance with the budget set out at the beginning of each period and within the framework of the rules for incurring expenses and delegations of authority defined by the Group.
Haulotte Financial Services:
This department is responsible for the following activities:
cash management,
management of banking relations and bank balancing transactions, management of multi-currency cash positions,
credit management
the implementation of financing solutions for the benefit of customers.
Missions include:
ensuring that the principles set out for managing customer credit risk are properly applied, and controlling the exposure of the Group's main customers. To this end, it monitors accounts receivable developments for all subsidiaries, controls the levels of outstanding balances and reconciles the cash budget with outstanding trade receivables of subsidiaries,
organizing collection, monitoring outstanding financing amounts and consolidating all Group financial commitments.
Consolidation and Reporting Department :
This department is responsible for producing the consolidated annual and interim financial accounts and the corresponding financial communications as well as monthly reporting.
This department assists the local financial managers in applying financial reporting procedures in accordance with IFRS. It also conducts a number of visits to the subsidiaries to ensure these procedures are applied.
Group Accounting Department:
This department is responsible for accounting for Haulotte Group SA. It is also responsible for coordinating and managing the transfer pricing policy at the Group level.
16
Information Systems department:
To face the new challenges of digital technology, Haulotte's IT department has been engaged, since 2019, in a modernization process for its IS.
At the request of the business lines, the IT department develops IT solutions to meet operational needs. To do this, it follows its own project management process to ensure the quality and integrity of the developments made. Once the solutions have been implemented, the IT Department maintains the solutions in place, by providing the support requested by users and upgrades related to new needs.
New digital evolutions in companies, and the importance of the stakes resulting from it since a few years, lead the group's ISD to emphasize two well identified components:
the company's DATA generated by the whole of the systems (its generation, its quality, its storage, its safety);
and the cyber resilience of our organization (capacity to recover from a cyber attack, implementation of a business continuity process and resumption of activity, crisis management cell).
General Secretariat:
Group Legal Department
The Group Legal Department operates at many levels within the company and assists the various departments in managing their projects, in terms of partnership development (drafting and analysing contracts, drawing up standard documents, etc.), advising operational staff (R&D, intellectual property, sales departments, etc.), managing disputes and monitoring the legal status of the Group's companies.
The Legal Department which positions itself as a real business partner within the company, participates in several internal working groups, including:
"Safety Committees": held on a regular basis (every two months, or whenever necessary), these meetings bring together all parties concerned by effective management of technical and legal monitoring initiatives regarding incidents and accidents known to the Group and involving one of our products.
"Intellectual Property (IP) Committees", which regularly bring together the General Secretariat, the Marketing Department and the Group Intellectual Property Manager. These periodic meetings provide a mechanism for monitoring filings and intellectual property disputes for the Group as a whole. They also serve as a means to notify different participants of the existence of prior rights.
Several internal communications actions are implemented by the Legal Department in collaboration with the Finance and Communications teams and the IT Services department, in order to inform and alert employees about the risks of fraud for social engineering and how to combat the latter. In this regard, the Legal Department is the formal contact point for the Authorities in the event of fraud or attempted fraud (Police, ISDG, etc.).
More broadly, the Legal Department collaborates with all departments concerned with legal matters and provides its support to all divisions within the Company.
Lastly, the Legal Department regularly participates in meetings organized by Middlenext, providing a forum for exchange and discussion of legislative and regulatory developments concerning listed companies and new obligations to be met by the Company. It also participates in working meetings organized by the trade associations of its industry sector (FIM, EVOLIS).
Human Resources Department
The Human Resources Department has a central support service (recruitment, training, wages and personnel administration). Furthermore, a Human Resources Manager is present on each of our sites and works closely with the director of the establishment on all HR issues, including occupational health and safety.
A QSE policy, applied in all Group entities, sets out Management's various commitments in terms of occupational health and safety.
17
A safety committee, led by the Europe HRD, meets regularly throughout the year to discuss the various safety indicators (number of accidents, frequency and severity) and best practice in terms of prevention.
