NetMedia Group: Return to Profitability in First Half, Despite 9% Revenue Decline
NetMedia Group published half-yearly accounts on September 30, 2026, marked by a return to positive net profit, while revenue declines on a narrower scope.
The B2B group, listed on Euronext Growth Paris, highlights the improvement in its operating profitability and the first contribution of its new Data and GEO activities, launched in the second half of 2025.
Revenue Down 9%, but Operating Profitability Up
As of June 30, 2026, NetMedia Group achieved consolidated revenue of 7.68 M€, compared to 8.38 M€ a year earlier, a decline of 0.7 M€ (-9%). The group notes that this decline is more limited than that observed in the previous fiscal year (-19%) and occurs on a narrower scope of historical activities, following the discontinuation in 2025 of activities deemed non-strategic.
The period includes the first contribution of the new Data and GEO activities, launched in the second half of 2025. International revenue increased by 18% compared to the first half of 2025 and represents 27% of consolidated revenue.
Consolidated EBITDA stands at 0.51 M€, compared to 0.21 M€ in the first half of 2025, up by 0.3 M€ (nearly 140%). EBITDA margin rises from 2.5% to 6.6% of revenue. Operating profit reaches 0.59 M€, compared to 0.19 M€ a year earlier, bringing the operating margin from 2.3% to 7.6%.
Return to Net Profitability After Loss Last Year
NetMedia Group returns to a positive net profit of 0.09 M€ as of June 30, 2026, compared to a net loss of 0.71 M€ a year earlier. This development combines the progression of operating profitability and an improvement in exceptional items, at -0.25 M€ compared to -0.91 M€ in the first half of 2025.
The balance sheet is strengthened: shareholders' equity increases to 3.2 M€ as of June 30, 2026, compared to 2.6 M€ at December 31, 2025. Financial debt stands at 4.54 M€, compared to 4.79 M€ at the end of 2025, and active cash reaches 0.7 M€, bringing net debt to 3.84 M€.
New Data and GEO Offerings Begin to Contribute
According to Caroline Thomas, Chief Executive Officer, these results mark a milestone in the group's new momentum, with the operating margin increasing from 2.3% to nearly 8% of revenue and a strengthened financial position.
The executive indicates that the new GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) solutions deployed are beginning to contribute to revenue, in a context where customers seek to ensure their visibility within generative AIs. The group communicated on September 11, 2026, about the deployment of this offering, presented as a strategic initiative engaged since 2025.
The 2026 half-yearly financial report will be published on October 5, 2026. For the half-year, the group reports EBITDA of 0.51 M€, operating profit of 0.59 M€, and net profit of 0.09 M€.
