PRESS RELEASE

Thorigné-Fouillard, France – 10 July 2025, 6 p.m. 

Kerlink (AKLK FR0013156007), a specialist provider of networks and solutions for the Internet of Things (IoT), is publishing its H1 2025 revenue figures today.   

As expected, the recovery in sales that began at the end of 2024 continued in the first half of 2025, with revenue up 16% to more than €7.2 million. 

After growth of 10% in the first quarter, the second quarter saw further strong momentum with revenue topping €3.6 million, an increase of 23%. 

Growth driven by private operators: +18% in the first half 

                                                                                                                                                                    IFRS – Unaudited figures 

Private operators were at the centre of this momentum in the first half, illustrating the relevance of repositioning commercial offers with this strategic customer base. Revenue on this market came to €6.8 million (94% of total activity), up 18% over the first half.  Growth was particularly strong in the second quarter, with revenue rising by 24% to more than €3.3 million. 

The Smart Agriculture & Environment and Smart Building & Industry segments both showed good momentum, with sales growth of 27% and 20% respectively over the first half. 

Revenue growth of 18% in EMEA (Europe – Middle East – Africa)

Growth was driven by the EMEA region, which accounted for 89% of total activity and made half-year revenue of nearly €6.5 million, up 18%. The second quarter was significant for the region, with revenue reaching more than €3.3 million, an increase of 21%. The Americas region also turned in an encouraging performance, with revenue of €0.5 million, up 49%, driven in particular by new customers. In Asia, activity remained immaterial, representing less than 4% of first-half revenue. 

Expected increase in gross margin despite a higher contribution from equipment sales 

Over the first half of the year, equipment sales rose by 29% to nearly €6.2 million. They accounted for 85% of total revenue for the period compared with 76.5% for the same period in 2024. This evolution of the product mix was driven by the integration of value-added solutions directly at the centre of infrastructure equipment to make them fully plug & play. That said, the development of recurring revenues remains a priority for the Group, as it aims to grow the contribution of services to total activity, together with the recovery in equipment sales.  

Despite the strong contribution of equipment sales to the product mix, Kerlink should generate an increase in gross margin over the period. 

Positive outlook for growth and improved results 

Kerlink is approaching the second half of the year with confidence.

With a well-filled order book billable in the second half of the year as of the end of June and continued positive sales momentum despite a general tendency towards prudence due to the general economic environment, the Group confirmed it has the ability to generate solid growth this year. 

Kerlink is also confident about its results. The return to growth, the expected increase in gross margin and good cost control mean it can anticipate a significant improvement in results from the first half of the year.
