LOWER RADIOLOGY REVENUE, GROWTH IN BONE DENSITOMETRY
In H1 2026, DMS Group's consolidated revenue was €22.1 million, down -6% compared to the 1st half of 2025.
In Radiology, DMS Group recorded half-year revenue of €17.2 million (vs. €18.9 million a year earlier), down -9%, amid particularly challenging market conditions and cautious demand in Europe, resulting notably in project and tender postponements. The decline in the Radiology business was primarily attributable to lower white-label sales under OEM agreements (Canon Medical Systems, Fujifilm Healthcare and Carestream Health). Conversely, own-label sales increased, driven by sales of X-ray mobiles! M1 Adam" in Ukraine (delivery of 3 lots in the 1st semester), the delivery of a large order of Platinum X-ray tables in South America, and the increase in sales in Eastern Europe, North Africa and Australia.
In Bone Densitometry, half-year revenue amounted to €5.0 million (vs. €4.7 million a year earlier), up +6%. DMS Group, the only European manufacturer of bone densitometry equipment, confirms its growth trajectory for this division.
HALF-YEAR EBITDA UP +52% – EBITDA MARGIN OF 11.7%
DMS Group recorded EBITDA of €2.6 million in the 1st half of 2026, up 52% compared with the 1st half of 2025. EBITDA amounted to €1.7 million in the 1st half of 2025 and €0.9 million in the 1st half of 2024.
The H1 2026 EBITDA margin was 11.7%, compared with 7.2% a year earlier and 9.1% for the full year 2025.
In an adverse market context, marked by a decline in activity, this significant new improvement in EBITDA reflects the effects of the actions taken in terms of operational performance, in line with the orientations and objectives of the Imaging 2027 strategic plan.
This improvement was driven by two main factors: (i) improved operational efficiency, including continuous improvements in production processes and purchasing optimization, generating structural gross margin gains, together with the progressive realization of synergies from the integration of Solutions For Tomorrow (SFT); and (ii) tight cost control and contract optimization. As an illustration of this second aspect, personnel expenses fell by -2% over the past half-year and external expenses were down by -9%.
This operational excellence also allows DMS Group to continue to invest at a sustained level in R&D to continue to enrich its commercial offer in accordance with the #Imaging 2027 plan but also to prepare for strategic developments in the context of #Imaging 2030. In the 1st half of 2026, DMS Group invested 7% of its revenue in R&D (stable).
The integration of new technological and artificial intelligence solutions, driven by the ADAM software solution, the expected synergies with InnoCare Optoelectronics and the development of the operating room c-arm, a key device for image-guided therapy positioned as a pillar of the commercial portfolio by 2030, represent important growth levers for the Group in the short to medium term.
Recurring operating income increased by +185% (+€0.9 million) in the 1st half of 2026, to €1.4 million.
Other operating income and expenses amounted to €(0.5) million, compared with €(0.3) million in the 1st half of 2025, and are mainly made up of the costs of integrating SFT and non-cash accounting expenses related to the employee profit-sharing plan through the implementation of free shares. Operating income thus amounted to €1.0 million compared to €0.2 million in the 1st half of 2025 (+359%).
After taking into account a financial result of €(0.2) million, an improvement compared to the 1st half of 2025, consolidated net income was €0.5 million, compared to a net loss of €(0.1) million in the 1st half of 2025, confirming, semester after semester, the significant recovery in the Group's profitability.
FINANCIAL SITUATION UNDER CONTROL AS OF 30 JUNE 2026 – 1ST DRAWDOWN OF €4 MILLION ON THE EIB FINANCING LINE
As of June 30, 2026, consolidated shareholders' equity amounted to €21.2 million, compared with €20.7 million at the end of 2025.
Available cash stood[2] at €4.6 million at the end of the half-year (compared to €8.1 million at the end of 2025), for financial debt of €15.8 million (excluding IFRS 16 lease liabilities) compared to €14.9 million at the end of 2025. Financial debt as of June 30, 2026, consisted of €12.8 million of bank debt, €2.6 million of factor liabilities (down vs. €5.3 million as of December 31, 2025) and conditional advances of €0.3 million.
Net financial debt[3] (excluding IFRS 16 lease liabilities) amounted to €11.2 million at June 30, 2026 (compared to €6.8 million at December 31, 2025). The net gearing ratio[4] (net financial debt to total equity) stood at 53% (compared to 33% at the end of December 2025 and 89% at the end of June 2025).
As a reminder, at the beginning of June 2026[5], DMS Group received a €4 million drawdown as part of the financing line for a total amount of €20 million granted by the European Investment Bank (EIB), with the support of the European Union under the InvestEU programme.
This financing is a major structuring step for the Group and supports its long-term innovation program for the future generation of innovative medical imaging solutions for the European and international markets. It will also help strengthen the Group's industrial capabilities and support the commercial launch of new imaging solutions between 2026 and 2030. The expenses associated with these investments will be mainly incurred in France.
The main terms of this financing line, including the terms and conditions for the issuance of share subscription warrants (BSAs) for the benefit of the EIB as additional remuneration for this financing, are set out in the press releases of 1 June 2026 and 27 March 2026, available on DMS Group's website. All the characteristics of this financing, including its main contractual terms, are fully presented in the 2026 Half-Year Report, available on DMS Group's website.
OUTLOOK
The H1 2026 Results confirm the profitable growth trajectory undertaken by the Group as part of its strategic plan #Imaging 2027. This momentum is based on solid fundamentals: strengthened organization, a healthier financial situation, leading strategic partnerships and a range of solutions fully in line with the needs of the market.
Thanks to the measures implemented to sustainably enhance operating performance and optimize its cost structure, the Group achieved record levels of margin and operating profitability in the 1st half of 2026, while returning to positive half-year net income.
Despite continued headwinds, including the economic slowdown in its markets resulting in project and tender postponements, as well as geopolitical tensions affecting decision-making and delivery timelines, DMS Group intends to maintain its profitability improvement trajectory over the coming months and confirms its target of achieving a 14% EBITDA margin in 2027 under the #Imaging 2027 plan.
In terms of activity, the return to growth of the medical imaging market remains conditional on the easing of geopolitical tensions and the improvement in the international and French economic situation. With no significant improvement in market conditions over the summer, activity in the 3rd quarter of 2026 continues to reflect the cyclical slowdown affecting the Group's markets. In this context, the 2026 financial year is expected to mark a pause in revenue growth, following the significant increase in revenue from €35 million to €50 million between 2022 and 2025. Profitability is nevertheless expected to continue improving, supported by the operational efficiency measures already reflected in the 1st half of 2026 performance.
In the longer term, in a medical imaging market that remains structurally buoyant, supported by powerful and lasting underlying trends (aging population, increasing diagnostic needs, technological innovations and growing use of AI, etc.), DMS Group's value proposition remains relevant with technologies that meet the major challenges of transforming healthcare systems around the world. DMS Group's objective remains to outperform the medical imaging market over the long term, relying in particular on the following growth levers:
- the continuation of the international sales momentum, particularly in North America, driven by white label agreements and the acceleration of sales of mobile radiology! M1 (with Medlink Imaging and JPI Healthcare Solutions);
- the ramp-up of historical OEM collaborations with Fujifilm Healthcare and Canon Medical Systems Europe;
- the commercial development of the new ONYX solution, a mobile radiology unit with a new generation X-ray tube, which obtained MDR (Medical Device Regulation) certification in June 2026, paving the way for its commercialization on the European market from the 2nd half of 2026.
