A new platform in Til-Châtel rounds out Groupe SEB logistics capabilities
In its ongoing efforts to revamp logistics, Groupe SEB is bolstering its presence in the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté by commissioning a state-of-the-art platform in Til-Châtel. This site is part of a global logistics investment plan of more than 110 million euros, initiated with the opening of the Bully-lesMines giga-platform in 2023.
Groupe SEB inaugurates its new refurbishment activity in Is-sur-Tille
|
The Til-Châtel platform, which encompasses 36,000m², is conveniently located near the key motorway networks and a few kilometers from the Group's historic production facilities. It plans to accommodate more than 60 employees by 2026. It can hold up to more than 52,000 pallets of cookware to be shipped to France, Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands and Austria. Certified BREEAM Excellent, this facility meets the highest environmental standards.
Performance by activity - Consumer
Consumer sales reached 3,251 million euros, with an organic growth of 2.2% and 0.2% in reported data. Despite a very unstable macroeconomic and geopolitical environment, the Small Domestic Equipment markets remained broadly resilient.
This performance was driven by the continued implementation of a growth strategy based on constant product innovation, enriching the product range, deploying flagship products in all regions, and effective go-to-market execution.
This growth was primarily driven by:
■ floor care, whose strong dynamic is mainly due to the success of washers, particularly in Western Europe, and the geographical expansion of versatile vacuum cleaner ranges;
■ cookware, driven by the success of multi-material ranges (especially in Europe), woks in China, and the geographical expansion of the Ingenio range (which recorded double-digit growth this semester);

Revenue Western Europe |
CHANGE IN CONSUMER SALES BY PRODUCT LINE 25In Western Europe, sales rose +3.4% LFL in the 1st half of the year (+3.5% on a reported basis). Excluding the impact of loyalty programs, the region was up +3.8% LFL. The 2nd quarter saw clear acceleration, with organic growth of +6.8%, driven by double-digit increases in floor care, cookware and linen care.
In France, the 2nd quarter was up 7% with better sell-in and sellout alignment. This strong momentum was underpinned by the success of launches in new categories such as washers and spot cleaners, as well as by good performance in cookware and innovations in versatile vacuum cleaners and garment steamers.
Core business in the DACH region was generally stable during the 2nd quarter, with cookware performing well and new launches in washers and garment steamers being positively received.
Other countries in the region, especially Spain and Italy, saw solid growth in the 2nd quarter, driven by innovations in floor care (versatile vacuum cleaners and washers) and good performance for cookware. The Group's sales are on a positive trend in the United Kingdom with well oriented sell-out, despite a still challenging market. Finally, in the Benelux, revenue growth continues, particularly in the Netherlands, with the rollout of Ingenio in the region.

Other EMEA countries | |
In other EMEA countries, sales grew +3.6% LFL in the 1st half of the year, despite a particularly demanding comparison base (+30.5% LFL in H1 2024). Following sustained growth of +7% in the 1st quarter, activity stabilized in the 2nd quarter due to political and geopolitical disturbances in some countries in the region – particularly Romania, Middle East and Algeria – which accounted for most of the slowdown observed during the period. | Throughout the 1st half of the year, Eastern Europe remained the region’s main growth engine, with significant contributions from Poland, Bulgaria and the Czech Republic that were driven by the success of oil-less fryers and full auto coffee machines, as well as by the recent launch of washers. In Turkey, growth remains well oriented, underpinned by strong momentum in cookware, as well as in linen care and versatile vacuum cleaners, and despite a still complex political and economic environment.

North America | 336 | 306 | -9.0% | -3.9% |
South America | 180 | 149 | -17.5% | -8.3% |
North America
In North America, sales were down -3.9% LFL during the 1st half, having been impacted by a significant deterioration in the environment in the 2nd quarter. Following growth of +4.9% LFL during the 1st quarter, the trend was effectively suddenly reversed in the 2nd quarter, with a decline of -11.5% LFL (-18.6% on a reported basis). Uncertainty surrounding tariffs and their application schedule has significantly disrupted the Group’s activity in the region over the past few months. This instability results in a widespread wait-and-see attitude among retailers and a turmoil in import patterns. South America | To mitigate the impact of tariff hikes, the Group has implemented several adjustment measures and is continuously adapting to the constantly evolving environment. At this stage, however, it appears that disruptions to activity are likely to continue into the 2nd half of the year, in a context still marked by significant lack of visibility. |
In South America, half-yearly sales were down -8.3% LFL (-17.5% on a reported basis) due to a very high comparison base from 2024 linked to the El Niño climate phenomenon (+29.1% LFL in H1 2024), which had driven exceptionally strong fan sales in the 1st half of 2024. This base effect gradually faded during the 2nd quarter, the Group’s revenue remains nevertheless down by -8.4% LFL. The trend is expected to be more positive in the 2nd half of the year. | Excluding fans, sales in the region grew during the 1st half; Colombia in particular posted double-digit growth in revenue outside this category. Sell-out remains very well oriented across all categories, with the following recent launches being particularly successful: full auto coffee machines, versatile vacuum cleaners and linen care. Performance was more mixed in Brazil, where activity remains strongly linked to fans. However, blender sales are well positioned |

Commentary on first-half sales
China
Sales in China rose +3.4% LFL in the 1st half of the year (+2.0% on a reported basis). This increase includes a solid performance in the 2nd quarter (+3.2% LFL), which confirms the return to growth that began in the 1st quarter.
Supor maintains its momentum and consolidates its market share, as well as its leading position in the cookware and kitchen electrics segments. In the 2nd quarter, this solid performance was mainly due to the success of recent product launches such as oil-less fryers, woks, water dispensers and blenders.
The economic stimulus measures introduced by the Chinese authorities have, to date, had a limited impact on Supor’s sales performance. More generally, the reference markets remain competitive but showed signs of stabilization in the 1st half of the year.
The Group remains confident in terms of its growth outlook in China for the entire year.
Other Asian countries
In other Asian countries, the Group’s revenue increased by +6.3% LFL in the 1st half of the year and by +5.3% on a reported basis, driven by growth in almost all markets in the region. Sales performance remained solid in the 2nd quarter at +4.9% LFL.
In Japan, sales stayed well oriented, particularly in cookware (Ingenio range), utensils (knives) and linen care. The positive trend in the 1st quarter is largely maintained in the 2nd quarter.
In South Korea, the macroeconomic environment is weighing on consumption and keeping the market in negative territory. However, the Group’s cookware sales are increasing, underpinned by online sales, while sales of Small Domestic Appliances are declining.
South-East Asian countries, particularly Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam, stepped up their performance with strong double-digit growth. The Group continued to expand its product portfolio in the region: oil-less fryers, rice cookers, washers, versatile vacuum cleaners, knives, etc.
Lastly, in Australia, business grew in the 1st half period, albeit on a high comparison base. Categories such as electrical cooking and cookware supported this performance.
Performance by activity - Professional
Sales in the Professional business totaled €496m, down -9.6% LFL (+0.3% on a reported basis) in the 1st semester.
After an organic decline of -21.7% in the 1st quarter, this business began to recover in the 2nd quarter, as expected, posting an increase of +3.5% LFL and +10.7% on a reported basis, with the contribution of the latest Sofilac and La Brigade de Buyer acquisitions.
The Professional Coffee business recorded near stabilization of its sales in the 2nd quarter, after three consecutive quarters of sharp decline, due to an exceptional comparison base linked to a large deal in China.
Excluding this large deal in China, growth was around 10% in the 2nd quarter, fueled mainly by the delivery of new contracts and improvement in services. Tea chains in China made a significant contribution to the machine deliveries trend in recent months. The Group also continues to expand its commercial resources and offering into new markets in Eastern Europe and Southeast Asia.
Over the first-half period, the Group continued its strategic development with the construction of its new hub in Shaoxing, China, which will include an R&D center, a purchasing center and a production base. As a reminder, serial production is scheduled to start in the 1st quarter of 2026.
In addition, a targeted acquisition in the services sector was finalized in the 1st quarter, enabling the Group to expand its maintenance, repairs, spare parts and refurbishment offering for Chinese customers.

Operating Result From Activity (ORfA)
In the 1st half of 2025, ORfA stood at €119m, down 51% from 2024. This figure includes a negative currency effect of €59m and a positive scope effect of €4m. The operating margin was 3.2% of sales, compared to 6.5% the previous year. ORfA includes the lower contribution of Professional Coffee, down by around €40m over the 1st half, the result of a doubledigit organic decline in this business’s sales, as expected. The Group’s results in North America also fell in the 1st half of the year (down approximately €20m), impacted by: ■ a wait-and-see attitude taken by retailers in a deteriorated economic environment, fueled by uncertainty regarding tariffs evolution; ■ a time lag between increases in tariffs and the benefit of the implemented compensatory measures. Operating Profit And Net Profit | Moreover, the overall appreciation of the euro, combined with strong currency volatility in emerging countries, limited the offsetting of currency effects during the 1st half of the year, resulting in a negative net impact of around €25m. Finally, in the 1st half of the year, the Group pursued a proactive strategy in terms of growth drivers, with an increase of around €60m compared to 2024, to support a year rich in innovations and product launches. These investments are fueling growth momentum in both Europe and Asia. More generally, the seasonality of the Consumer business implies a traditionally less favorable volume effect during the 1st half of the year, before benefiting from a more significant operational leverage in the 2nd half of the year. |
At end-June 2025, the Group’s operating profit amounted to €86m, down 59% from €210m as of 30 June 2024. This result includes an employee profit-sharing expense of about -€10m, close to that of the 1st half of 2024, and other income and expenses of -€24m, compared with -€23m in the 1st half of 2024. Financial Structure as of 30 June 2025 | The net financial result was -€57m as of 30 June 2025, compared to -€46m in the 1st half of 2024. The tax expense was €7m, based on an estimated effective tax rate of 25%, and after minority interests of -€21m. Profit attributable to owners of the parent therefore totaled €1m in the 1st half, compared with €100m at end-June 2024. |
As of 30 June 2025, consolidated shareholder’s equity stood at €3,152m, down by €388m versus end-2024, mainly due to dividend payments and exchange rate effects. Free cash flow generation was negative at -€213m in the 1st half of the year, a level comparable to that of 2024 (-€215m). This mainly reflects an increase in inventories at the end of June, linked to usual seasonality, but also to anticipated supplies in response to the persistent instability of tariffs in the United States. It also includes CAPEX of €160m (of which €59m linked to IFRS 16), mainly for construction of the new Professional Coffee hub in China and the new logistics center in Til-Châtel (France). The Group’s net financial debt was €2,658m (including €316m of IFRS 16 debt) as of 30 June 2025, up €236m versus 30 June 2024. This includes the payment in May of the full amount of the | €189.5m fine imposed by the French Competition Authority and fully provisioned in the Group’s accounts at the end of 2024. Excluding this exceptional disbursement, the increase in net financial debt was contained, at less than €50m compared to June 2024. In addition, the Group pursued its active external growth policy with €106m in cash outflows during the 1st half period, mainly in the Professional Culinary segment, with the acquisition of La Brigade de Buyer in January. The Group’s debt ratio (net financial debt/equity) as of 30 June 2025 was 0.8x, up slightly compared to the same date last year (0.7x). The net financial debt/adjusted EBITDA ratio was 2.9x (2.8x excluding IFRS 16 and M&A), compared to 2.3x as of 30 June 2024. |
Post-balance sheet event
At the date on which financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors, on 23 July 2025, no material event had occurred.
Risk management
Groupe SEB adopts a proactive and dynamic approach to risk management.
This method, along with the main risks the Group faces, are detailed in the 2024 Universal Registration Document, chapter 2, which is available at the following address: www.groupeseb.com/en/regulated-information.
During the first half of 2025, no new major risks were identified.
Outlook 2025
Outlook 2025
Sales
The Group revises its annual organic sales growth expectations which should range between 2% and 4% (vs. “around 5%” previously).
This revision considers the performance of the 2nd quarter, which was impacted by an unfavorable environment in North America, more pronounced than anticipated. It also reflects the persistence of the uncertainty surrounding tariffs and consequently, disturbances linked to wait-and-see attitude taken by clients, particularly in North America.
The 2nd half of the year will nevertheless be fueled by an improvement in overall organic performance across the rest of our activities, with:
■ in Consumer, good momentum in EMEA, underpinned by numerous new product launches and the investments made
in the 1st half of the year;
■ continued growth in China and the rest of Asia, following a strong 1st half;
■ a return to growth in South America, with a more favorable comparison base in the fans category;
■ and in Professional, confirmation of the return to growth, which already began in the 2nd quarter.
Operating Result from Activity
The Group is now anticipating ORfA in the range of €700m and €750m in 2025 (vs. “an increase” previously).
This considers the decline in results in the 1st half of the year and the high volatility of the environment.
The ongoing uncertainties are expected to persist, particularly in North America, and to negatively impact ORfA, despite the margin protection measures implemented in the United States.
However, a return to growth in the Group’s results is expected in the 2nd half of the year, mainly thanks to:
■ an improvement in growth in Consumer;
■ the accretive effect on margins of the return to growth in Professional;
■ strict discipline in managing operating expenses, including overheads, and agility in the allocation of growth drivers, and ■ higher offsetting of currency effects.
This outlook therefore implies a 2nd half that signals a return to the trajectory of the Group’s medium-term ambition. In line with its history of resilience, the Group will remain attentive to changes in its environment and will ensure strict control of its costs, in order to preserve its performance and pursue its long‑term value creation strategy.

Notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements
|
|
RESULTS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 30 JUNE 2025, IN MILLIONS OF EUROS Groupe SEB, composed of SEB S.A., a French company, and its subsidiaries, has a long history in the Consumer business, where it holds a leadership position. It has also been active in the Professional market since 2016, and is the world leader in Professional Coffee (excluding vending machines). Since 2024, the Group has also expanded its presence in the professional culinary segment. SEB S.A.’s registered office is at Chemin du Moulin Carron, 69130 Écully, France. The company is listed on the Euronext‑Paris Eurolist market (ISIN code: FR0000121709 SK). The condensed consolidated financial statements for the first half of 2025 were approved by the Board of directors on 23 July 2025. |
Note 1 |
ACCOUNTING POLICIES, JUDGMENTS AND ESTIMATES
Note 1.1 Accounting principles
The condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months ended 30 June 2025 have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 – Interim Financial Reporting.
The condensed financial statements do not include all the disclosures required in a full set of annual financial statements under IFRS, and should therefore be read in conjunction with the
Group’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended
31 December 2024, which are included in the Universal Registration
Document that was filed with the French Financial Markets Authority (AMF) on 3 April 2025. The Registration Document can be downloaded from the Group’s website (www.groupeseb.com) and the AMF website (www.amf-france.org), and is available on request from the Group’s registered office at the address shown above.
The condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the IFRS, IAS and related interpretations adopted by the European Union and applicable at 30 June 2025, which can be found on the European Commission’s website (https://finance.ec.europa.eu/capital-markets-union-andfinancial-markets/company-reporting-and-auditing/company-reporting/ financial-reporting_en#ifrs).
|
The accounting policies applied to prepare these financial statements are unchanged compared with those used to prepare the 2024 annual consolidated financial statements, except for income tax expense and statutory and discretionary employee profit-sharing, which are calculated on the basis of full-year projections (see Note 9 – Income tax, and Note 6 – Statutory and discretionary employee profit-sharing). Furthermore, the comparability of the interim and annual financial statements may be affected by the seasonal nature of the Group’s activities, which results in higher sales in the second half of the year.
The Group adopted the following amendment applicable as of 1 January 2025. This date of application matches that of the IASB:
■ amendment to IAS 21 on lack of exchangeability.
This amendment had no material impact on the Group’s financial statements.
Other standards and interpretations that are optional as of 30 June 2025 have not been applied early. The Group does not, however, anticipate any material impact related to the application of these new standards.
Note 1.2 Judgments and estimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS implies that the Group must make certain estimates and assumptions which have an impact on the amounts recognized under assets and liabilities. In particular, the Group has taken into account the situation following the Russian invasion of Ukraine when preparing its half-yearly accounts.
Russia-Ukraine conflict
Since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine on 24 February 2022, the geopolitical environment has deteriorated significantly. The Group is assessing developments of the situation in both Ukraine and Russia in real time, and implementing the decisions of the European and French authorities, with whom it works in close coordination.
In 2023 and 2024, these two countries accounted for less than 5% of the Group’s consolidated revenue and approximately 2% of its total assets.
Note 2 CHANGES IN SCOPE OF CONSOLIDATION
On 22 January 2025, the Group finalized the acquisition of La Brigade de Buyer, an international group that owns the de Buyer, Sabatier and 32 Dumas brands, symbols of excellence and expertise in the cookware, pastry and cutlery sectors.
La Brigade de Buyer enjoys strong positions in professional culinary and premium consumer. The company has forged close ties with chefs and cooking schools worldwide, with which it collaborates for the continuous development of innovative and sustainable products. The provisional fair value of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities at 22 January 2025 is as follows:
* Including the De Buyer brand, estimated by an independent valuer to be worth €27.0 million. |
This acquisition is in line with Groupe SEB’s strategy to expand into the professional and premium segments while promoting an exceptional industrial and culinary heritage.
On 30 April 2025, the Group also finalized a small bolt-on acquisition in China in the professional coffee makers sector, thereby enhancing its maintenance, repairs, spare parts and refurbishment offering for its Chinese customers.
The final net fair value of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities at 4 April 2024 was as follows: (in €m) 04/04/2024
* Including the Lacanche and Charvet brands, estimated by an independent valuer to be worth €15.1 million and €8.6 million, respectively. |
Please note that, on 4 April 2024, Groupe SEB finalized the acquisition of Sofilac, a French group specialized in the design, manufacture and marketing of high-end semi-professional and professional cooking equipment (in particular, with the Lacanche and Charvet brands).
On 22 May 2024, Groupe SEB also finalized the acquisition of a 55% stake in its Saudi distributor – Alesayi Household Appliances Co. LLC – a subsidiary of Alesayi Holding Group that has exclusively sold Groupe SEB’s Consumer products in Saudi Arabia since 2009.
Given the date on which these companies were acquired, the impact of these acquisitions was recognized under non-consolidated investments in the financial statements at 30 June 2024.
Note 3 HIGHLIGHTS AND LITIGATION
Investigation by the French Competition Authority
In October 2013, the French Competition Authority conducted an inquiry into the pricing and listing practices of several domestic appliance manufacturers, including Groupe SEB France and Groupe SEB Retailing over the period 2008 to 2013. The notification of objections received on 23 February 2023 alluded to suspicions of practices involving sale prices imposed on certain retailers and exchanges of statistical information through a professional association, in the Small Domestic Appliances sector. The hearing before the Authority’s Board took place on 5 and 6 March 2024. The Board’s decision was published on 19 December 2024. In this decision, the Competition Authority fined Groupe SEB €189.5 million for the vertical agreement on sale prices between manufacturers and distributors, but dismissed the objection concerning the exchange of information (horizontal agreement). However, the Group maintains that it has not committed any offense. It has always acted in the interests of its customers and for the benefit of French consumers, in strict compliance with applicable regulations. It therefore categorically refutes the Competition Authority’s finding and rejects any allegation that its practices did not comply with competition rules. The Group has decided to appeal to Paris Appeal Court, for the decision to be annulled. A risk provision for the total amount of the fine was recognized in the Group’s consolidated financial statements at 31 December 2024.
Investigation by the Competition Authority in Brazil
Product recalls The Group is preparing to launch a product recall in one country due to a defect detected in electrical outlets. The consequences of this recall are being analyzed and should be mostly covered by the Group’s insurance. A provision for the cost of the deductible was recognized at 30 June 2025. Other highlights |
The disbursement of the fine amount on 15 May 2025 resulted in the recognition of a claim against the Authority in the amount of €189.5 million.
Other than the proceedings reflected in the financial statements and described in the accompanying notes, there have been no other highlights, government, legal or arbitration proceedings
(including any such proceedings which are pending or threatened of which the Group is aware) which may have or have had in the recent past significant effects on the Group and/or its financial position or profitability.
Note 4 SEGMENT INFORMATION
In accordance with IFRS 8 – Operating Segments, financial information is presented based on the internal information reviewed and used by the chief operating decision makers, i.e.
the members of the General Management Committee.
Groupe SEB has two major business lines: Consumer and Professional. Consumer activities are also monitored by geographic area.
The General Management Committee assesses the performance of the segments on the basis of: ■ revenue and operating profit (loss); and
■ net capital invested defined as the sum of segment assets (goodwill, property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, inventory and trade receivables) and segment liabilities (trade payables, other operating liabilities and provisions).
Note 4.1 Financial information by location of assets |
Performance in terms of financing, cash flow and income tax is tracked at Group level, not by operating segment.
The data below includes internal transactions established under terms and conditions similar to those offered to third parties, i.e., they include the effects of the Group’s internal transfer prices. “External revenue” corresponds to total sales (within the Group and to external customers) generated outside the geographical segment by companies within the geographical segment
“Inter-segment revenue” corresponds to sales to external customers located within the geographical segment.

Other investments
“Other investments” on the balance sheet mainly include non‑controlling interests in various entities and investments in non-consolidated entities because they are not material to the Group. At 30 June 2024, this item also included the acquisition of Sofilac and the acquisition of a majority stake in our distributor in Saudi Arabia (see Note 2). Financial investments | In accordance with IFRS 9, the non-consolidated investments and securities are booked at fair value. The Group decided to recognize the fair value in other comprehensive income without subsequent reclassification to profit or loss, even in the event of disposal. The change in fair value of these investments amounted to €(3.8) million at 30 June 2025 compared with €(3.7) million at 30 June 2024 and €(10.9) million at 31 December 2024. |
These short-term financial investments, which had a maturity of over three months at 30 June 2025, totaled €15.3 million (including €11.9 million in China) compared with €10.6 million at | 30 June 2024 (including €10.3 million in China) and €75.6 million at 31 December 2024 (including €36.8 million in China). |
Bank Acceptance Drafts
Bank Acceptance Drafts are issued by leading Chinese banks and are received as part of the trade receivables settlement. These assets amounted to €14.7 million at 30 June 2025 compared with €24.8 million at 30 June 2024 and €48.3 million at 31 December 2024.

(2) Including €41.6 million from Supor at 30 June 2025 (€40.9 million from Supor at 30 June 2024 and €54.6 million at 31 December 2024).
Non-current receivables mainly consist in the receivable resulting from payment of the €189.5 million fine imposed by the French Competition Authority and tax claims in Brazil: ICMS, PIS and COFINS. The methods for calculating PIS and COFINS taxes were clarified on 15 March 2017, when the Brazilian Supreme Court ruled that ICMS should be excluded from their calculation basis. These calculation methods were again confirmed by the Supreme Court on 13 May 2021. Following these court decisions, in 2018 our industrial subsidiary Seb do Brasil recorded a tax receivable of 213 million Brazilian reals (including interest on arrears) in connection with the surplus tax paid since 2004. This receivable was pending repayment to the state of Rio de Janeiro. | In 2019, our commercial subsidiary Seb Comercial registered a tax receivable of 51 million Brazilian reals for the surplus tax paid since 2013. In July 2023, a notification was received from the Federal Government requiring Seb Comercial to halt the use of these tax credits from that date and potentially questioning their use since March 2020. The merger of Seb Commercial with SEB do Brasil in 2024 led to a change in strategy for collection of SEB do Brasil’s PIS/COFINS tax receivable, which is now partially offset. At 30 June 2025, the PIS/COFINS receivables came to 199 million Brazilian reals (€31 million). |

Note 18 FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS Note 18.1 Financial instruments |
Financial assets consist of shares in subsidiaries and affiliates as well as operating receivables (excluding tax and social security receivables), debt securities and other cash equivalents classified as current assets.
The fair value of trade and other receivables is equivalent to their carrying amount, in view of their short maturities.
Non-current financial assets consist mainly of investments in non-consolidated companies (minority interests without significant influence), certain related receivables and receivables due beyond one year. In accordance with IFRS 9, these non‑current financial assets for which the management model is to collect contractual cash flows and the flows resulting from disposals are recognized at fair value in other items of comprehensive income without subsequent reclassification to profit or loss, even in the event of disposal.
Financial liabilities include borrowings and other financing, including bank overdrafts, and operating liabilities (excluding accrued taxes and social security claims and deferred income).
The fair value of borrowings that are not quoted in an active market are measured by the discounted cash flow method, applied separately to each individual facility, based on market rates observed at the period-end for similar facilities and the average spread obtained by the Group for its own issues.
The fair value of those derivatives is determined using the discounted future cash flow methods with market values such as spot rates, forwards curves, interest rate curves, aluminum, copper, nickel and plastics curves as observed at the closing date.

The hierarchy breaks down into three levels as follows: | ■ level 2: valuation techniques for which all significant inputs are based on observable market data; ■ level 3: valuation techniques for which any significant input is not based on observable market data. |
■ level 1: instrument quoted in active markets;

To the Shareholders of SEB S.A.,
In compliance with the assignment entrusted to us by the general meeting of shareholders and in accordance with the requirements of article L. 451-1-2 III of the French Monetary and Financial Code ("Code monétaire et financier"), we hereby report to you on: ■ the review of the accompanying condensed half-yearly consolidated financial statements of SEB S.A., for the period from 1 January to 30 June 2025,
■ the verification of the information presented in the half-yearly management report.
These condensed half-yearly consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Board of Directors. Our role is to express a conclusion on these financial statements based on our review.
I. Conclusion on the financial statements
We conducted our review in accordance with professional standards applicable in France.
A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with professional standards applicable in France and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying condensed half-yearly consolidated financial statements are not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34 - standard of the IFRSs as adopted by the European Union applicable to interim financial information.
II. Specific verification
We have also verified the information presented in the half-yearly management report on the condensed half-yearly consolidated financial statements subject to our review. We have no matters to report as to its fair presentation and consistency with the condensed half-yearly consolidated financial statements.
