ABEO Reports 12.1% Growth in the Third Quarter of 2025/26 with Increased Order Intake
ABEO, a global leader in sports and leisure equipment, announces a third-quarter 2025/26 revenue of 66.7 million euros, up 12.1% compared to the same period in the previous fiscal year. The order intake reached 205.1 million euros as of December 31, 2025, an increase of 3.7%.
Strong Performance in Q3 2025/26
In the third quarter of 2025/26, the group achieved a revenue of 66.7 million euros, marking a 12.1% increase from the same period in 2024/25. This performance is based on an organic growth of 3.5% and a positive contribution from acquisitions of 10.5%, partially offset by an unfavorable exchange rate effect of 1.9%. The Sports division saw an 11.9% growth, generating revenue of 36.0 million euros during the period. This increase is driven by the acceleration of Gymnastics activities and the growth resumption in the Benelux. The contribution from Sodex, acquired at the end of May 2025, meets expectations and enhances the division's dynamics. The Sportainment & Climbing division recorded a 29.0% increase, reaching 16.1 million euros in the third quarter of 2025/26. This development reflects the sustained growth of Fun Spot and the successful integration of ELI Play's activities, which offset a slight decline in playful and sports climbing walls activities. The Locker division experienced a slight decline of 1.7% in the third quarter of 2025/26, amounting to 14.6 million euros. This drop occurs in a context of slowing public investments in France and a temporary adjustment of production at Meta due to the renewal of its industrial equipment.
Nine-Month Performance Overview
Over the first nine months of the fiscal year 2025/26, the group's revenue reached 205.2 million euros, up 11.9% compared to the same period in the previous fiscal year. This performance is supported by an organic growth of 4.1% and a contribution from acquisitions of 9.1%, partially offset by a negative exchange rate effect of 1.3%, mainly reflecting the depreciation of the dollar. By division, Sports recorded a revenue of 105.7 million euros over nine months, up 4.8% with an organic growth of 1.0%. Sportainment & Climbing achieved 49.8 million euros, up 48.8% with an organic growth of 17.3%. Lockers reached 49.7 million euros, up 1.2% with an organic growth of 1.6%. As of December 31, 2025, the group's order intake amounted to 205.1 million euros, up 3.7% compared to December 31, 2024. The order book remains at a high level, providing good visibility for the coming months. Following the merger with VOGO, consolidated as of January 1, 2026, the group enriches its offering with innovative technological solutions around its equipment, in line with its strategy of digitalizing sports and entertainment practices.
