Paris, August 31, 2026 – 7:00 a.m. DEKUPLE Group, a European leader in Communication and Data Marketing, generated revenue of €121.9m in the first half of 2026, up 3.9%, and net revenue of €90.3m, up 2.2%. Driven by the strong momentum in Digital Marketing, the acceleration of international expansion and continued organic growth, this performance confirms the strength of the Group's integrated Communication and Data Marketing model. By bringing together its three business pillars - Consulting, Agencies and Data & MarTech Solutions - the Group supports its clients' growth across the entire marketing funnel.

Bertrand Laurioz, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Dekuple Group, stated:
““The first half confirms the relevance of our Ambition 2030 strategic roadmap. In a demanding macroeconomic environment, we are continuing to deliver solid growth, underpinned by the diversification of our expertise and geographic footprint, driven by the ramp-up of Digital Marketing, the acceleration of our international development and the increasing integration of our areas of expertise.

During the period, we continued to build a distinctive integrated model, connecting our Consulting and Agency activities with our Data and MarTech technology solutions. The integration and effective use of artificial intelligence across our entire value chain has been a key enabler of this acceleration. Our targeted acquisitions have further strengthened the capabilities of our global ecosystem. Our ambition is to bring together our expertise and solutions around our clients, acting as a true integrated growth platform capable of supporting brands throughout the entire consumer journey, from insight to conversion.

The integration of AI at the heart of marketing and communication activities will further increase the proliferation of high-quality content and intensify the use of activation channels. Our clients' end-to-end marketing journey will require strategic and creative excellence, seamlessly integrating customer knowledge, Data and performance levers. This highly personalized, real-time and location-based marketing will be key to building brand awareness and preference. Our“Boost” platform for Data Elevation and local marketing is a perfect example of successful integration. It supports retailers from data enrichment through to in-store conversion, including the measurement of channel effectiveness. Bringing these levers together within a single Group platform delivers highly attractive returns on investment. Many agencies and competing companies also use our solutions on a white-label basis.

At the same time, we are continuing to optimize our historical self-financed marketing activities developed in partnership with press publishers. We are focusing our investments and commercial efforts on the levers that create the greatest value, in order to preserve the quality and recurring nature of our revenues. Regarding the Insurance business, the strategic review currently under way should enable us to identify the best options to support its long-term development as part of our Ambition 2030 plan.

Our growing scale in Europe, supported by our strong geographic footprint, now positions us as a major European player in Communication and Data Marketing.”

¹ Revenue (determined in line with the French professional status for subscription sales) only includes the amount of remuneration paid by magazine publishers; for subscription sales, revenue therefore corresponds to a net revenue (formerly gross margin), deducting the cost of magazines sold from the amount of sales recorded. For acquisition and management commissions linked to sales of insurance policies, revenue comprises current and future commissions issued, acquired by the accounting reporting date, net of cancellations.

² For the digital marketing business, the net revenue (formerly gross margin) represents the total amount of revenue (total invoices issued: fees, commissions and purchases charged back to customers) less the total amount of costs for external purchases made on behalf of customers. It is equal to revenue for the magazine and insurance business lines.

³ The scope effect is calculated (i) by eliminating the net revenue of companies acquired during the period or the comparable period and (ii) by eliminating the net revenue of companies sold during the period or the comparable period. As a result, the like-for-like business does not take into account this scope effect for the period concerned.

⁴ Gross sales volume represents the value of subscriptions sold.
