NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTSAll monetary amounts included in these notes are expressed in millions of euros.
Thales's condensed interim consolidated financial statements for six months ended 30 June 2026 were approved and authorised for issue by its Board of Directors on 22 July 2026.
Thales (parent company) is a French publicly traded joint-stock company (société anonyme) registered with the Nanterre Trade and Companies' Register under number 552 059 024.
-
Accounting standards Framework
The condensed interim consolidated financial statements of the Thales Group have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 - Interim Financial Reporting, as adopted by the European Union. As these are condensed interim financial statements, the notes do not include all the information required under IFRS for the preparation of full annual financial statements.
The condensed interim consolidated financial statements are consistent with the accounting policies applied by the Group for the full-year consolidated financial statements at 31 December 2025, as described in the 2025 Universal Registration Document (notes 1 and 13 to the consolidated financial statements).
Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 "Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments", particularly regarding the recognition date for financial assets and liabilities related to electronic payments, and "Contracts Referencing Nature-dependent Electricity" have no significant impact on Group Financial statements.
Furthermore, on April 2024, the IASB issued IFRS 18, "Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements". IFRS 18 is intended to provide investors with more transparent and comparable information about corporate financial performance. It focuses on three main areas:
improved income statement comparability, with the introduction of new income and expense categories (operating, investing and financing) and of new mandatory and optional sub-totals;
improved disclosures about performance measures; and
a review of the relevance of disclosures in primary financial statements and notes to the financial statements, to make them more useful for investors.
IFRS 18 was endorsed by the European Union on 16 February 2026 and will be applicable retrospectively from 1 January 2027. The Group is currently analysing the impact on the presentation of the primary financial statements and the notes thereto, but will not early adopt IFRS 18 in 2026. Anyway, this standard should not affect Management Performance Measures.
-
Measurement procedures used for the condensed interim consolidated financial statements
Pensions and other long-term employee benefits
Pension costs for interim periods are recognised based on the actuarial valuations performed at the end of the prior year. When appropriate, these valuations are adjusted to take into account (i) curtailments, settlements or other major non-recurring events that occurred during the period and (ii) significant impacts linked to evolution of the discount rate and the inflation rate.
Income taxesCurrent and deferred income tax expense for interim periods is calculated at each tax entity level by applying the average estimated annual effective tax rate for the current year to the income of the period. When required, this amount is adjusted to take into account the tax effects of specific events of the period.
GoodwillImpairment tests are performed at each annual closing, and whenever an indication of impairment occurs (note 4.1).
- Seasonality of business
In accordance with accounting policies, revenues are recognised, as at year end, over the period of their realisation. In previous years the level of business has been higher in the last quarter, and particularly in December. Revenues and income from operations have been generally lower in the first half of the year due to the seasonality of business. The company has noted that this pattern is of a recurring nature, even though its extent varies from year to year and business sectors.

Segment information
-
Commercial activity and EBIT by segment
In order to monitor the operating and financial performance of Group entities, the Group's management regularly considers certain key non-GAAP indicators as defined in note 13-a of the appendix to the 2025 consolidated financial statements, which enable them to exclude some non-operating and/or non-recurring items.
In particular, Adjusted EBIT, as presented below by segment, corresponds to income from operations, plus the share in net income of equity affiliates, excluding (i) expenses related to business combinations (amortisation of assets valued as part of the purchase price allocation, other expenses directly linked to business combinations) and (ii) the impact of changes in the Thales share price on the expense recognised in the income statement in respect of LTI plans.

Order book, order intake and sales included in the "Other " column relate to corporate activities (Thales parent company, Thales Global Services, Group R&D centers, facilities management), and to the elimination of transactions between business segments.
The order book as of June 30, 2026, reflects contract cancellations during the half-year, including the F126 program in the amount of €1789 million, so as several projects in the Space business for a total amount of € 986 million.
Unallocated Adjusted EBIT includes the Group's share (35%) in the net income of Naval Group and corporate income from operations which is not assigned to the segments. Other costs (mainly the costs of foreign holding companies not invoiced) are reallocated to business segments proportionally to their respective non-Group sales.
The 2025 data has been restated, where necessary, to reflect internal reorganizations.

In France, the Finance Law for 2026 has cancelled the individual income tax exemption that had previously applied, up to a limit of one month's base salary, to bonuses paid when the long-service awards are granted.
By analogy with the income tax position, these bonuses were previously exempt from social contributions. In this context, the abolition of the tax exemption has led the administration to reconsider its position of tolerance. As of 1 January 2027, these bonuses are now fully subject to social contributions.
The associated actuarial debt (€117.2 million at the end of 2025) was reassessed accordingly, resulting in the recognition, in the first half of 2026, of an additional liability of €49 million.
On 24 June 2026, the German Ministry of Defence decided to terminate the contract for the six F126 frigates programme, for which the Dutch shipyard Damen Schelde Naval Shipbuilding ("DSNS") was the prime contractor and Thales one of the sub-contractors.
Thales had been selected by DSNS in November 2020 to supply radars, sensors, combat management and fire control systems, as well as for the integration of the combat platform for this program.
Thales is assessing the consequences of this decision in consultation with its partners on this project and the relevant authorities. In connection with the termination of this program, the Group has recorded an exceptional charge of €450.4 million in the first half of 2026. This amount mainly corresponds to costs already paid by Thales to ensure the progress of the project as well as to a conservative estimate of the financial compensation to be received.

Administrative, judicial or arbitration claims
As of the date of publication of the interim consolidated financial statements, the judicial investigation initiated in 2022 in relation to the business relations of Gemalto (now Thales Communication et Sécurité Numériques) prior to its acquisition by Thales in 2019 is still ongoing.
In June 2024, several searches took place at various sites in France, the Netherlands, and Spain, as part of two preliminary investigations initiated by the French Parquet National Financier (PNF).
In November 2024, the French Parquet National Financier (PNF) and the British Serious Fraud Office (SFO) initiated an investigation in relation to four Thales entities located in France and the United Kingdom, regarding the performance of a project in Asia. These investigations are all ongoing.
In all these investigations, Thales denies the allegations brought to its knowledge and is fully cooperating with the judicial authorities. However, the outcome of these proceedings, including potential financial consequences if any, cannot be assessed at this time.
As of the date hereof, there is no other administrative, judicial or arbitration claim, pending or threatened, which could have any significant effect on the financial position or profitability of the Company and/or the Group.

Revenues with the French State amounted to €2,080.0 million in the first half of 2026 and €2,055.1 million in the first half of 2025.

- Subsequent events
Early July, Thales signed a binding agreement with the Gorgé family concert for the acquisition of their combined 35.51% stake in Exail Technologies, with a view to acquiring 100% of Exail, through a mandatory tender offer, in each case for a price of €134.00 per share. With this acquisition, Thales aims to increase its scale in the underwater warfare market, and to expand its capabilities in inertial navigation systems through the addition of Exail' complementary expertise.
The closing of the acquisition of the Gorgé family's stake is expected by Q3 2027, upon completion of customary antitrust and regulatory approvals. Following the closing of the acquisition of this stake, Thales will file a mandatory tender offer with closing expected at the beginning of 2028 at the latest.
