A Near Doubling of Activity Driven by Record Commercial Momentum
In the first half of 2024/2025, 2CRSi recorded revenue of EUR20.9 million, up +95% compared to the first half of 2023/ 2024. This strong performance confirms the Group's solid commercial momentum, driven by sustained demand for high-performance servers and AI-focused applications deployed by the Group.
The sharp increase in activity is even more remarkable given it occurred during a period that is typically less favorable due to seasonal trends, and in a context temporarily impacted by political uncertainty in North America.
As a reminder, the 2023/2024[3] fiscal year closed with revenue exceeding EUR160 million, with EUR10.7 million generated in the first half.
Significantly Improved Results
The strong growth in activity, combined with a focus on margin improvement, has logically contributed to the improvement in results.
Operating expenses remained well under control despite the sharp increase in activity.
Consumed purchases for the first half of 2024/2025 rose by +42% to EUR12.3 million, representing 59% of total revenue, compared to 80% in the first half of 2023. This increase is mainly due to the consumption of components required for server manufacturing as part of customer order fulfillment.
Effective operational management is also reflected in the evolution of external expenses, which accounted for 14% of total revenue versus 20% in the first half of 2024 2023/2024.
Personnel expenses decreased by 19%, reflecting the rationalization of production activities and achieved economies of scale. They now represent 18.2% of the semester's revenue, compared to 43.9% in the first half of 2024 2023/2024.
Overall, operating expenses amounted to EUR19.7 million, an increase of 25%, compared to a 95% increase in revenue.
This tight control of operating costs, combined with strong business growth, enabled 2CRSi to post a positive EBITDA of EUR2.1 million (representing 10% of revenue), compared to a loss of EUR5.5 million in the first half of 2023/2024.
After accounting for financial income and tax, net income (Group share) significantly improved, reaching EUR2.6 million, versus a loss of EUR7.2 million in the first half of 2023/2024.
A Well-Managed Financial Position
On the balance sheet, shareholders' equity stood at EUR28.5 million as of December 31, 2024, compared to EUR26.4 million at the end of June 2024. As of December 31, 2024, cash and cash equivalents amounted to EUR1.2 million, compared to EUR1.1 million at the end of June 2024.
Operating cash flow exceeded EUR3 million, whereas it was negative by more than EUR5.3 million in the first half of 2023 /2024.
Total debt (including bank overdrafts) stood at EUR11.1 million, a limited increase of +6.7% compared to the end of June 2024. It includes EUR6.4 million in bank loans, mainly composed of government-backed loans (PGE) contracted since 2020. The portion due before the end of the fiscal year amounts to EUR1.5 million.
Trade payables increased by 59% compared to June 30, 2024, reaching EUR18.7 million. This rise is linked to the sharp increase in component purchases required to ensure the proper execution of ongoing orders.
Other liabilities and adjusting accounts amounted to EUR21.7 million, including more than EUR11.2 million in customer deposits and advance payments on orders.
Given these elements and the collection of nearly EUR5 million in receivables since January 1, 2025, 2CRSi is confident in its ability to comfortably finance the continuation of its growth momentum.
Outlook: Strong Visibility
Following a very solid first half, and despite an international political context marked by uncertainty, 2CRSi enters the second half of the 2024/2025 fiscal year with renewed confidence. The commercial momentum recorded in recent months, driven by sustained demand for high-performance servers for AI applications and recent announcements in both France and abroad regarding investments in data centers, provides the Group with increased visibility on its growth prospects.
Beyond the continued momentum in hardware, the Group also aims to strengthen the contribution of services to its overall activity. In this regard, 2CRSi will increase its share of its revenue derived from the deployment of its new 2CRSi Cloud Solutions[4] offering. Over time, this shift in the sales mix will significantly contribute to improving the Group's margins and, consequently, its financial results.
Beyond the 2024-2025 fiscal year, 2CRSi reaffirms its ambitions for 2025/2026: to reach EUR300 million in revenue with an EBITDA margin above 12%.
