Activity of the 1st quarter 2025: revenue up by 18% and €487 million in orders

Exail Technologies had a very good start to 2025 thanks to advances in drone programs and a significant increase in the production of navigation systems. Revenues increased by 18%, marking growth across all of the group’s activities. This strong momentum is supported by the expansion of Exail’s application markets and the group’s ability to gain market share thanks to its technological differentiators.

Orders reached €487 million, primarily due to a new contract for drone systems worth several hundred million euros, but also driven by excellent sales of navigation systems, which had a strong quarter.

Exail Technologies also recorded significant cash inflows in the first quarter of 2025, well above those of the first quarter of 2024. The growth in activity was effectively converted into cash. Additionally, Exail Technologies received a €40 million down payment for the new flagship drone system contract won last February. The contractual entry into force of this program is scheduled for summer 2025.
