Key events and outlook
Stable revenue in H1 2025/26 at €458.1m
Over the whole of H1 2025/26, revenue amounted to €458.1m, stable compared with H1 2024/25. As a reminder, Wavestone has consolidated Wivoo, a French consulting firm, since June 1, 2025.
On a constant scope and forex basis, half-yearly revenue has decreased by -0.5%. For the record, there was an unfavorable working day impact of -0.9% over the period.
Consultant utilization rate under pressure at 71%; robust average daily rate of €939
Over H1 2025/26, the consultant utilization rate was under pressure and stood at 71%, versus 73% for the whole of the 2024/25 fiscal year.
At the mid-point of the 2025/26 fiscal year, the average daily rate was solid at €939, equivalent to the one of the previous fiscal year, despite the consolidation of Wivoo, whose prices are lower than the rest of the group. On a constant scope and forex basis, daily rates increased by +1%.
With regard to business development, the order book stood at about 3.6 months of work at the end of September 2025, versus 4.2 months on March 31, 2025, and 3.7 months one year earlier.
Staff turnover rate of 13% on a rolling 12-month basis
On September 30, 2025, on a rolling 12-month basis, the staff turnover rate stood at 13%, compared with 12% over the 2024/25 fiscal year.
Wavestone had 6,042 employees on September 30, 2025, including 98 employees coming from the acquisition of Wivoo, compared with 6,076 on March 31, 2025, a decline consistent with the firm's usual seasonality.
10.3% recurring operating margin in H1 2025/26
Over H1 2025/26, recurring operating profit amounted to €47.1m, up by +1%. For the record, this recurring operating profit is computed after taking into account €4.2m linked to share-based payments to employees (versus €3.1m in H1 2024/25).
The recurring operating margin stood at 10.3%, compared with 10.1% in H1 2024/25.
As a reminder, profitability in H1 2024/25 had been impacted by the costs linked to the integration program between Wavestone and Q_PERIOR, notably the "Together as One" event organized in Paris in May 2024.
Net income up by +12%, representing a net margin of 6.6%
After taking into account the amortization of customer relationships (€3.6m entirely consisting of Q_PERIOR's customer relationships), and other operating income and expenses (-€0.7m), operating profit was €42.8m, showing an increase of +3.0%.
The cost of net financial debt was reduced to €0.6m, compared with €1.6m a year earlier, due to the strengthening of the firm's financial situation.
The tax expense amounted to €10.5m, a decrease of -4% compared with H1 2024/25.
Net income stood at €30.4m in H1 2025/26, showing a growth of +12% compared with the first half of the previous fiscal year and representing a net margin of 6.6%, compared to 6.0% a year earlier.
Earnings per share (fully diluted) came to €1.24 in H1, compared to €1.11 a year earlier1.
Cash flow from business activities up to €21.8m in H1 2025/26
On September 30, 2025, self-financing capacity amounted to €55.2m, compared with €54.3m for the same period of the previous year.
Change in trade receivables and trade payables generated €7.5m of cash over the period (versus a consumption of -€1.0m in H1 2024/25), notably linked to a slight decrease of -2% in DSO (Days Sales Outstanding). Change in other items of the working capital consumed €30.5m of cash (versus
€28.8m last year), a variation linked to the usual reduction in employee-related liabilities in the first half of the fiscal year (paid leaves, payment of bonuses and profit sharing).
After tax payments of €10.4m, Wavestone's operating cash flow improved year-over-year to
€21.8m, compared with €2.5m in H1 of the previous fiscal year.
Investment operations consumed -€12.0m in H1 2025/26 (-€37.8m a year earlier), including -
€10.6m for the acquisition of Wivoo and -€1.4m in current investments. Financing flows consumed -€55.6m, mainly consisting of:
-€11.5m in dividends paid to shareholders for the 2024/25 fiscal year,
-€37.7m in net repayments of financial loans, including the early repayment of -€52.8m in bank debt during H1,
-€4.8m in lease liability repayments (under IFRS 16). Net cash of €18.0m on September 30, 2025
On September 30, 2025, Wavestone's consolidated equity was €645.4m.
On the same date, net cash (excluding IFRS 16 lease liabilities) stood at €18.0m. This compares with net cash of €25.6m at the end of March 2025.
Market environment
Since the beginning of the 2025/26 fiscal year, the market environment has been challenging in almost all Wavestone geographies except for North America. The demand has remained at a low level overall, with the reluctance of decision-makers to move forward with their investment plans, in the context of high geopolitical uncertainty.
From a sectoral perspective, banking, transport, automotive and retail have been difficult. On the other hand, though, insurance has remained resilient, while energy and luxury have shown a positive trend as well as some accounts in the industry sector.
Since the start of Q3 2025/26, business demand has begun to pick up. Previously postponed projects are finally moving forward, and there is growing momentum on AI, cybersecurity, cloud, and SAP.
Visibility however remains limited and it is too early to assess whether this positive trend will continue during Q4 2025/26.

Priorities for H2
Wavestone aims to rapidly improve its operational performance by leveraging the current business momentum and maintaining strong investment in business development. As a result, the utilization rate is expected to show a significant increase in Q3.
The firm also focuses on preparing and managing as effectively as possible the start of the 2026 calendar year.
Lastly, Wavestone is gradually increasing its hiring pace, focusing on the business units and the countries experiencing the best business momentum. For the record, since the beginning of the 2025/26 fiscal year, Wavestone has remained cautious in terms of recruitment, which should lead to a very limited headcount increase over the fiscal year.
Growing momentum in AI-driven transformations
The AI wave continues to accelerate, reshaping industries and redefining strategic priorities across all sectors.
Wavestone is increasingly supporting its clients around three major challenges: building the technological and operational foundations needed to scale AI across the enterprise, structuring AI initiatives with tangible value creation, and entering the agentic era to transform core-business processes.
Wavestone's expertise is trusted by leading organizations in multiple industries. More than ever, the firm is committed to being the champion of AI-driven transformation, helping clients unlock measurable value and scale their AI ambitions.
Wavestone anticipates growing further its AI-related revenue in 2025/26, reaching 14% of its total revenue, compared with 8% in the previous fiscal year.
2025/26 annual objectives
Regarding its annual guidance, Wavestone reaffirms aiming at generating a positive organic growth in 2025/26.
In terms of profitability, the firm confirms targeting an annual recurring operating margin of around 13%.
These objectives are calculated on a constant forex basis and exclude any new acquisition.

Operating indicators definition
Staff turnover rate is the number of employees that resign during the last twelve months divided by the number of employees at the end of the measurement period.
The consultant utilization rate is the ratio of the number of days actually billed to clients to the number of billable hours worked, excluding vacations.
The average daily rate is the average daily price for a consulting service at a client, calculated as follows:
Revenue from services provided / Number of days billed to clients.
The order book is the sum of services ordered and not yet delivered on the measurement date. It is expressed in months as the ratio of the number of net production days to be performed in future
months to the number of future production days, based on the projected workforce, utilization rate and vacation rates for the coming months.
The methods used to calculate the order book comply with IFRS 15.
The Recurring Operating Profit (ROP) is an alternative performance measure obtained by deducting from revenue the operational expenses related to current activities, including share-based payments to employees. Amortization of customer relationships is not deducted from ROP, nor are non-recurring income and expenses. The latter includes, in particular, income or expenses related to business acquisitions or divestitures, as well as income or costs associated with unoccupied premises.
Recurring operating margin is obtained by dividing ROP by revenue.

Non-current assets recorded a slight decrease compared to March 31, 2025. This movement mainly reflects the regular amortization of customer relationships and the reduction in right-of-use assets, which more than offset the increase in goodwill arising from the acquisition of Wivoo and the impact of foreign currency translation differences.
Current assets (excluding cash) remained stable at €272,681k. They mainly include trade receivables and related accounts of €245,080k, down by €5,096k. Cash and cash equivalents amounted to €33,524k at September 30, 2025, representing a 57% decrease compared to March 31,2025, primarily due to the repayment of long-term bank loans.
At September 30, 2025, total equity stood at €645,422k, compared with €633,401k at March 31, 2025.
Non-current liabilities amounted to €65,227k, compared to €111,785k on March 31, 2025. The decrease mainly reflects the repayment of long-term bank loans, which led to a reduction in non-current financial liabilities of approximately 99%.
Current liabilities decreased by 5% to €223,832k. In addition to the changes in current financial liabilities, the decrease mainly reflects seasonal fluctuations in the tax and social liabilities.
Total financial liabilities (current and non-current) amounted to €15,574k at September 30, 2025, compared with €52,760k at March 31, 2025. This decrease is mainly attributable to the repayment of long-term bank loans.

Net operating cash flow increased by €19,301k to €21,763k, while the self-financing capacity remained broadly stable at €55,207k. The increase in net operating cash flow mainly reflects lower tax payments, which decreased by €11,698k to -€10,419k. Changes in trade receivables and trade
payables generated €7,512k in cash, whereas other working capital movements consumed -€30,537k in cash, mainly due to seasonal fluctuations in tax and social security liabilities.
Net investing cash flow amounted to -€ 12,033k, compared with -€37,789k a year earlier. This mainly includes the purchase price for the acquisition of Wivoo, whereas the previous year included earn-out payments of -€35,000k to the former shareholders of Q_PERIOR.
Net financing cash flow decreased to -€55,629k, compared with an inflow of €8,606k a year earlier. This change mainly reflects the net loan repayment of long-term bank loans of -€37,731k, whereas the previous year recorded a net loan subscription of €31,179k. In addition, dividend payments to the parent company shareholders increased to -€11,295k, compared with -€9,380k in the previous year.

-
Interim financial statements
The Wavestone's condensed interim financial statements for the six-month period ended September 30, 2025 have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 "Interim Financial Reporting".
As these are condensed financial statements, they do not include all the information required by IFRS for the preparation of annual financial statements and should therefore be read in conjunction with the Group's consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS as adopted by the European Union for the year ended March 31, 2025.

Alternative Performance Measures
Recurring operating profit
The Recurring Operating Profit (ROP) is an alternative performance measure obtained by deducting from revenue the operational expenses related to current activities, including share-based payments to employees. Amortization of customer relationships is not deducted from ROP, nor are non-recurring income and expenses. The latter includes, in particular, income or expenses related to business acquisitions or divestitures, as well as income or costs associated with unoccupied premises.
Recurring operating margin is obtained by dividing ROP by revenue.
- Use of estimates
-
Consolidation principles
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires the use of estimates and assumptions concerning the measurement of certain amounts in the financial statements, notably regarding:
duration of asset amortization;
measurement of provisions and pension obligations;
measurements used for impairment testing;
fair value measurement of financial instruments;
estimates of accrued income and expenses;
measurement of share-based payments;
the performance estimates used for the additional considerations in the subsidiary acquisition prices;
recognition of deferred tax assets;
recognition of revenue from fixed price contracts;
assessment of customer relationships and their amortization periods;
probable termination date of commercial leases.
Management reviews these estimates and assessments on a regular basis to take into account past experience and other factors deemed reasonable, which serve as the basis for these assessments. Future results may differ significantly under different assumptions or conditions.
C.C Seasonality of interim financial statementsThe main effects of seasonality result from the concentration of employee leave taken in certain months of the year. These are the months of May, July and August. Therefore, the majority of employee leave concerns the first half of Wavestone's financial year (April - September). Further main seasonality results from the payment of the full-year variable compensation to employees which usually happens in June and July.
These phenomena have no substantial impact on Wavestone's business, especially as their effects are relatively predictable (comparable impact from one year to the next).
C.7 Contingent liabilities and contingent assetsOn July 24, 2024, Wavestone signed a lease in future state of completion for new premises in Paris, scheduled for delivery on December 31, 2026. At the same time, the company undertook to renegotiate its ongoing leases to align their termination dates. These leases include a clause for the restoration of the premises, the costs of which constitute a contingent liability.
Based on past restoration operations, it is not possible to estimate the costs to be accrued for. It is even possible that the new lessor will take over the premises, but it is not possible to quantify it.

Note 8. GoodwillThe integrated operating model enables Wavestone to develop synergies between all its units, regardless of the legal form of their affiliation with the Group, to establish individual commercial interfaces with all of its clients, and to efficiently form project teams on a daily basis comprising consultants from its different units. These units are not identified by business sector, region or legal structure. This operating model will be regularly updated to better meet market needs.
Implementation of this operating model, the organization of which transcends the scopes of the companies and activities that Wavestone SA has acquired as it has grown, makes it impossible to track the individual goodwill initially associated with the different companies or activities concerned. For this reason, the Wavestone firm constitutes a single Cash Generating Unit (CGU). Assets with an indefinite useful life, such as goodwill, are tested for impairment at least once a year and whenever there is evidence of impairment.
