  • net income recognized in the income statement, of €194k;
  • the tax receivable recorded on the balance sheet, of €852k as of June 30, 2026.

These amounts correspond to different accounting and tax concepts and should not be added together.

Available cash stood at €853k on June 30, 2026, compared to €1.316m on December 31, 2025, a decrease of €463k and 35.2%.

This development must be assessed in the light of:

  • movements in working capital requirements;
  • investments made during the first half of the year;
  • the collection schedule for customer and tax receivables;
  • of the financing movements that occurred during the period.

It is important to note that the Company transferred €255k, composed of €165k for intangible assets and €60k for tangible assets, and the acquisition of stocks for a lump sum of €30k, from its equity to support the offer presented to the Commercial Court of Evry for the takeover of the assets and activities of Texcell France supported at the hearing on June 29, 2026.

Revenue for the first half of 2026 represented:

  • 44.2% of the 2026 annual target;
  • 77.9% of revenue for the full year 2025.

This comparison is purely arithmetic. The roadmap published on June 1, 2026, covers the full year and does not set a half-year target. It provides for a ramp-up of the UltraGene, Vela Diagnostics and CDL Pharma activities over the full year.

The 2026 roadmap includes annual targets of €1.582 million for UltraGene, €3.906 million for the HIV business, €1.565 million for Vela Diagnostics and €2.482 million for CDL Pharma.

STATEMENT BY CHALOM SAYADA, MANAGING DIRECTOR

"The first half of 2026 marks a significant acceleration in ABL Diagnostics' trajectory. Our revenue reached €5.42 million, up 90.0% compared to the first half of 2025. This increase is accompanied by a substantial improvement in profitability, with an EBITDA of €1.32 million, an EBITDA margin of 24.3% and an operating profit of €1.12 million.

In six months, we generated 77.9% of revenue for the full year 2025 and our net income of €1.28 million is 29.7% higher than for the twelve months of the previous year. These results reflect the ramp-up of our historical activities and our new growth drivers, as well as ABL Diagnostics' ability to convert the growth of its business into results.

As of June 30, 2026, the Company achieved 44.2% of its full-year revenue target. We continue to execute our roadmap with discipline, while remaining attentive to the timing of orders and deliveries, regulatory conditions and the operational ramp-up of the activities integrated into our portfolio. »

2026 OUTLOOK

Considering the results recorded for the first half of 2026 and the information available at the date of this press release, ABL Diagnostics maintains its revenue target of €12.265 million for the 2026 financial year at this stage.

The achievement of this objective remains dependent on:

  • the timing of orders and deliveries;
  • the ramp-up of the UltraGene range;
  • the development of HIV activities;
  • the contribution of Vela Diagnostics and CDL Pharma;
  • supply conditions;
  • regulatory deadlines;
  • the collection of customer receivables;
  • of the general evolution of the markets in which the Company operates.

In addition, since July 21, 2026, ABL Diagnostics has integrated the assets of Texcell France acquired at the helm of the Evry Commercial Court as part of a receivership procedure. 29 new employees have been integrated into ABL Diagnostics as part of this operation.

The Company will update its revenue target of €12.265 million for the 2026 financial year by integrating the revenues and costs associated with the ex-assets of Texcell France.
