PRESS RELEASE SEPTEMBER 29, 2026     H1 2026 continued to be impacted by a challenging economic and geopolitical environment, which weighed on the Group's sales and profitability. However, EBITDA remained positive during the period. The Group continued its network restructuring measures in H1, the effects of which will become more visible from H2 onward. In M€ H1 2025 H1 2026 Revenue 122.6 114.1 Of which Bogart Fragrances & Cosmetics 23.4 22.1 Of which Bogart Beauty Retail 99.2 92.0 Other revenue[1] 4.5 3.6 Total Revenue 127.1 117.7 EBITDA[2] 10.4 7.2 Operating income/(loss) (8.5) (10.2) Net financial income (expense) (6.0) (4.4) Income tax 0.2 0.1 Net income attributable to the group (14.6) (14.8) The consolidated financial statements for H1 2026 were approved by the Board of Directors at its meeting on September 29, 2026. The financial statements were subject to a limited review by the statutory auditors. However, the publication of the 2026 half-year financial report has been delayed and is now expected by December 2026, given the factors mentioned on page 4 of this press release.   HALF-YEAR RESULTS In a still-challenging environment, BOGART reported revenue of €114.1 million as of June 30, 2026, compared to €122.6 million as of June 30, 2025, representing a decrease of -7.4% (-5.3% on a like-for-like basis and at constant exchange rates). This change is primarily due to the decline in Bogart Beauty Retail's business (reflecting the economic environment and scope effects), while Bogart Fragrances & Cosmetics remained at a level close to H1 2025. The gross margin rose slightly to 52.2% as of June 30, 2026 (+0.9 points compared to June 30, 2025), demonstrating the Group's ability to maintain its margins despite the decline in volumes. In H1 2026, the Group continued its network restructuring measures with the closure of 26 stores: in France (16 stores closed during the first half out of a total of 17 planned for 2026), in Belgium (6 net closures), and in Germany (4 closures). Current operating expenses totaled €56.9 million as of June 30, 2026, compared to €57.6 million as of June 30, 2025. Personnel expenses decreased to €32.2 million as of June 30, 2026, from €33.0 million, representing a decline of -2.7%. The workforce as of June 30, 2026, stood at 1,787 employees (compared to 1,914 employees as of June 30, 2025). EBITDA[3] remains positive at €7.2 million (compared to €10.4 million as of June 30, 2025). EBITDA for Bogart Fragrances and Cosmetics rose slightly to €3.3 million as of June 30, 2026, driven by the performance of new niche fragrance lines, including Aholic and Stendhal (it was €2.8 million as of June 30, 2025). EBITDA for Bogart Beauty Retail was €1.9 million (compared to €5.8 million as of June 30, 2025) and should improve in H2 with the effects of restructuring measures. Operating income was € (10.2) million as of June 30, 2026, compared to (8.5) M€ as of June 30, 2025. This figure includes notably €(15.0) million in depreciation, amortization, and provisions, as well as a non-current expense of €(2.6) million (of which €(2.1) million related to network restructuring measures in H1). Net financial income improved to €(4.4) million as of June 30, 2026, compared to €(6.0) million a year earlier (which was negatively impacted by unrealized foreign exchange losses). After tax income of €0.1 million, net income remained stable at €(14.8) million as of June 30, 2026.   FINANCIAL STRUCTURE As of June 30, 2026, BOGART's shareholders' equity amounted to €44.3 million, compared to €57.4 million as of December 31, 2025 (after factoring the half-year results). Operating cash flow amounted to €(25.0) million as of June 30, 2026, compared to €(22.2) million as of June 30, 2025, reflecting a temporary increase in working capital requirements (up 26.5 M€ in H1 2026). Cash flows from investing activities remained limited at €(1.0) million (compared to €(1.9) million as of June 30, 2025). Cash flows from financing activities amounted to €(11.6) million as of June 30, 2026 (compared to €(6.8) million as of June 30, 2025) and reflects repayments of loans and lease liabilities during the period. Overall, the Group reported gross cash of €12.9 million as of June 30, 2026 (compared to €36.7 million as of December 31, 2025). For the record, cash levels are traditionally higher at year-end due to the seasonal nature of the Group's business. As of June 30, 2026, loans and borrowings (excluding IFRS 16 lease liabilities of €117.5 million)[4] totaled €102.8 million (compared to €87.9 million as of December 31, 2025). Net financial debt[5] stood at €89.9 million as of June 30, 2026. As of the balance sheet date, discussions are ongoing with the lenders and are expected to result in an agreement to restructure the company's bank debt by late 2026 / early 2027.   OUTLOOK   In a context that remains sluggish for consumer spending recovery, the reorganization measures implemented across the network in the Bogart Beauty Retail business will continue to have positive effect on profitability in H2 2026, and even more in 2027.   In the Fragrances & Cosmetics business, and despite the current environment, the Group remains confident in achieving good momentum in H2 2026, supported by continued product launches, the expansion of the partner network, and the attractiveness of high-end products, which supports the Group's premiumization strategy. BOGART recalls that its business is characterized by marked seasonality, with a greater contribution from the second half of the year, driven notably by the end-of-year celebrations.   In H2, the Group plans to introduce numerous product launches across its brands, including two new haircare lines and the Recette Merveilleuse anti-aging skincare treatment from Stendhal, new skincare products from Méthode Jeanne Piaubert, the launch of Carven Absolu for men, and two new Christmas seasonal products under the April brand.   Finally, exclusive negotiations between David Konckier and the Marionnaud Group[6] are still ongoing. Should these negotiations be successful, this transaction could provide a new growth driver for the Group's brands.     POSTPONEMENT OF THE PUBLICATION OF THE HALF-YEAR FINANCIAL REPORT AS OF JUNE 30, 2026   The Chairman of the Opsione Group (who is not a signatory to the BOGART SA mandate) and the Chairman of the BOGART SA Group joined forces in a personal capacity in July 2026 to establish a company, BEHN SA, holding 20% and 80%, respectively, of the company's capital, which totals €12,000. This company was established in anticipation of an acquisition project that has not yet been finalized. Since the firm Opsione serves as co-statutory auditor of BOGART SA - represented by Mr. Aurélien Danis - alongside its counterpart, the firm AUDIT BM & Associés - represented by Mr. Romain Vernhes - , Opsione has decided, for ethical reasons related to the concept of the appearance of independence, to resign from its appointment as statutory auditor. This decision is in no way related to the preparation of BOGART's half-year financial statements as of June 30, 2026. However, since the legal deadline for replacing Opsione is approximately 60 days, the company has decided to first issue the financial press release mentioned above, which outlines the Group's key financial aggregates as of June 30, 2026. Accordingly, the half-year report, together with the statement from the new board of statutory auditors, will therefore be released by December 2026.     www.groupe-bogart.com     ACTUS FINANCE ET COMMUNICATION PRESS RELATIONS MANON CLAIRET MCLAIRET@ACTUS.FR / TEL.: 01 53 67 36 73   ACTUS FINANCE ET COMMUNICATION INVESTOR RELATIONS ANNE-PAULINE PETUREAUX APETUREAUX@ACTUS.FR / 01 53 67 36 72     APPENDIX Alternative Performance Measures (Reconciliation) Gross Margin (M€) H1 2025 H1 2026 Revenue 122.6 114.1  - Cost of goods sold 59.7 54.5  = Gross margin 62.9 59.6   Current Operating income (M€) H1 2025 H1 2026 Operating income (8.5) (10.2) + Other non-current expenses 3.5 2.9 - Other non-current income 0.6 0.3 = Current operating income (5.6) (7.6)   EBITDA (M€) H1 2025 H1 2026 Operating income (loss) (8.5) (10.2) +CVAE - - + Depreciation and impairment charges net of write-backs 16.0 14.8 + Other non-current operating income (expenses) 2.9 2.6 = EBITDA 10.4 7.2   EBITDA Excluding IFRS 16 (M€) H1 2025 H1 2026 Operating income (loss) (8.5) (10.2) +CVAE - - +Depreciation and amortization, net of reversals of provisions 16.0 14.8 + Other non-current operating income (expenses) 2.9 2.6 - Rent 13.5 12.8 = EBITDA excluding IFRS 16 (3.1) (5.6)   Net financial debt (M€) H1 2025 H1 2026 Long-term borrowings and loans 63.8 15.3 Short term borrowings and loans 10.3 61.4 + short-term bank debt 19.0 26.1  - Cash and cash equivalents 19.0 12.9  = Net financial debt 74.1 89.9   Net Debt (IFRS 16) (M€) H1 2025 H1 2026 Net financial debt 74.1 89.9 + Lease liabilities 124.9 117.5 = Net debt (IFRS 16) 199.0 207.4   --- [1] Revenues from licences and advertising rebillings for brands which are distributed to BOGART's own-brand networks.
