On 9 September 2025, Clarisse Gobin-Swiecznik, Managing Partner, commented: "In the first half of 2025, Rubis delivered a robust performance in a market environment that remains volatile. The growth in both EBITDA and net income reflects the relevance of our diversified business model and growth strategy, making us strong amid macroeconomic and currency volatility. Steady cash flow generation underlines the soundness of our operations, enabling us to continue our disciplined investments. With a healthy balance sheet and a stable leverage ratio, we move into the second half of the year with confidence, reaffirming our 2025 guidance while remaining attentive to macroeconomic and geopolitical developments."

H1 2025 saw a +3% increase in EBITDA to €369m (0% on a comparable basis). EBIT reached €253m (-2% yoy, -5% on a comparable basis), reflecting an overall stable level of activity in a volatile market environment. Product and geographical diversification proved efficient, driving volume growth.
At Group level, cost of net financial debt reached €32m from €44m in H1 2024, driven by decreasing interest rates, notably in Kenya despite a higher debt at Photosol in line with its expanded operational capacity. Other financial items reached -€2m in H1, from -€33m in H1 2024, reflecting more stable currencies and robust FX management since 2024, particularly in Kenya and Nigeria.
Profit before tax increased by 21% to €216m and Net income Group share rose by 26% to €163m. This improvement is mainly driven by the significant decrease in FX losses.
Taxes reached €50m in H1 2025 vs €45m in H1 2024, in line with the increase in profit before tax and include a OECD Global Minimum tax component of €13m.
The strong cash flow from operating activities at €276m, slightly down from H1 2024 (-3%), illustrates the strength of operations.
Capex reached €164m, of which €91m were dedicated to Renewable Electricity Production (up from €35m in H1 2024). The remaining €73m are split between maintenance (80%) and growth and energy transition investments (20%) in the Energy Distribution business line.
Impact of IAS 29: Hyperinflation (non-cash impacts)
Rubis has applied IAS 29 in hyperinflationary countries (Haiti, Suriname), as defined in IFRS. Application of IAS 29 in hyperinflationary countries requires their non-monetary assets and liabilities and their income statement to be restated to reflect the changes in the general purchasing power of their functional currency, leading to a gain or loss included in the net income. Moreover, their financial statements are converted into euros using the closing exchange rate of the relevant period.

H1 2025 was another half-year of volume and gross margin increasing in all regions and products from an already high comparable basis.
LPG demand was slightly up over the first-half. Most of this performance was driven by France and South Africa. Autogas in Europe maintains its strong momentum, as well as the bulk segment in France, underpinned by strong commercial dynamics. In South Africa, both packed and bulk segments grew, benefitting from the cold winter, and new customer wins. Morocco resumed with volume growth over the second quarter, but margins remain under competitive pressure. Overall, gross margin grew in line with volume, thereby maintaining a stable unit margin.
As regards fuel:
The retail business (service stations representing 50% of fuel volume and 53% of H1 fuel gross margin) performed particularly well in Africa. Total volume grew by 5% and gross margin by 8%. This strong achievement is explained by:
Kenya, where a first step in the adjustment of the pricing formula took place mid-March 25. This led to an increase of unit margins by +3% over H1;
Madagascar, where the market continued to be very dynamic, and the improving attractiveness of service stations and convenience stores boosts traffic;
Jamaica continuing to perform well in terms of volume, although margins were a bit tighter due to a less favourable supply context this first-half.
The Commercial and Industrial business (C&I, representing 29% of fuel volume and 25% of H1 fuel gross margin) increased by 8% in volume. Margins decreased by 8% yoy mainly explained by the intense pricing competition in Guyana ahead of September elections.
The aviation segment (representing 17% of fuel volume and 16% of fuel gross margin) was down -9% in volume, and -2% in gross margin, thereby improving unit margin by +8%. This performance is two-fold. Kenya aviation business is under an increased pricing pressure. In this context, the Company arbitrates to the benefit of margins rather than volume. On the other hand, this first-half was dynamic in the Eastern Caribbean region, with a sustained pace in airlines frequencies.
Bitumen volume was up 36% yoy, mainly driven by Nigeria where demand for product resumed over the first-half and activity benefited from supply difficulties for one of Rubis competitors. Angola entry into the perimeter also drove volume growth. Gross margin increased by 3% yoy. The subsequent decrease in unit margin is a basis effect, driven by the H1 24 devaluation of Nigerian Naira, which inflated margins over that period.
2. ENERGY DISTRIBUTION - SUPPORT & SERVICES
The Support & Services activity recorded €485m of revenue (stable yoy) in H1 2025.
Trading for third parties volume excluding crude deliveries was up 16% and margins were up 9% vs H1 2024.
In the Caribbean, trading was dynamic with +14% yoy in volume and +18% yoy in gross margin.
In Africa, bitumen shipping activity improved over the first-half (volume +29% after a low H1 2024) with more numerous but shorter routes.
SARA refinery and logistics operations present specific business models with stable earnings profile.

1. ENERGY DISTRIBUTION - RETAIL & MARKETING
Looking at the operating performance by region, the dynamics for the first-half 2025 were as follows:
Europe continues to benefit from its strong LPG positioning (LPG accounts for >90% of regional gross profit) EBITDA increased by 10%, reflecting improved operating efficiency;
The Caribbean region maintained a normalising level of activity, with the fuel retail segment overall stable and aviation volume and margins improving. EBITDA remained stable yoy;
Lastly, in Africa, operating conditions improved both in Nigeria and Kenya and local currencies were overall stable. EBITDA increased by 2% yoy.
2. ENERGY DISTRIBUTION - SUPPORT & SERVICES
The Support & Services business recorded EBITDA of €114m (stable yoy) in H1 2025, in line with revenue stability.
3. RENEWABLE ELECTRICITY PRODUCTION – PHOTOSOL
EBITDA reached €10m over H1 2025, down 5% from €11m in H1 2024. This variation is explained by the ongoing ramp up of project development, inducing more important development expenditures.
Power EBITDA5 reached €22m for H1 2025 vs €16m for H1 2024 representing a +38% increase.

OUTLOOK
The working assumptions used to establish the 2025 guidance remain unchanged.
Group EBITDA is expected at €710m to €760m in 2025 (assuming IAS 29 - hyperinflation impact unchanged versus 2024).
As a reminder, the impacts of IAS 29 - hyperinflation accounting treatment on FY 2024 amounted to €24m on EBITDA, €22m on EBIT and -€10m on Net income Group Share.
