Saint-Cloud, July 22^nd, 2026 – The Board of Directors, which met today under the chairmanship of Mr. Éric Trappier, approved the 2026 half-year financial statement. The Statutory Auditors have performed a limited review of these consolidated financial statements and have expressed an unqualified opinion.

At the end of the Board meeting, Éric Trappier stated:

“The military and geopolitical contexts remain marked by the crisis situation in the Gulf and the continuing war in Ukraine.

In France, the update to the Military Programming Law (LPM) provides for an increase in the Armed Forces budget.

The backlog as of June 30, 2026 stood at EUR 45.4 billion (including 291 aircraft: 208 Rafale and 83 Falcon), compared with EUR 46.6 billion as of December 31, 2025.

Net sales for the 1^st half amounted to EUR 4.2 billion, up 46% compared with the 1^st half of 2025, driven mainly by the delivery of 6 additional Rafale Export, as well as additional development and support revenue linked to the achievement of milestones.

Operating income rose by 83% compared with the 1^st half of 2025, to EUR 330 million. Net income for the 1^st half was EUR 496 million, up EUR 110 million compared with the 1^st half of 2025 (excluding the corporate income tax surcharge in France, net income would have amounted to EUR 570 million).

This half-year was marked by:

• the delivery of 12 Rafale (10 Rafale Export and 2 Rafale France) and 13 Falcon,
• the order for 23 Falcon,
• the decision of the Defence Acquisition Council to enter into direct negotiations for the acquisition by India of 114 Rafale. In this context, Dassault Aviation is finalizing its response elements to secure this contract, which, together with the acceleration of the Make in India, remains the Company’s major strategic objective,
• the maiden flight of the Falcon 10X on June 19, 2026, marking the start of the flight test campaign and the rescheduling of the program. The entry into service of the Falcon 10X is scheduled for 2029,
• the decision by the French President and the German Chancellor, by mutual agreement, to halt the FCAS/NGF. Discussions are underway with the French State to launch an alternative, either on a purely French basis or in cooperation, of a demonstrator for a future combat aircraft.

After the end of the semester, on July 13, 2026, France and Ukraine concluded a roadmap planning for Kyiv’s acquisition of 16 Rafale; on the same day, Dassault Aviation and Harmattan AI announced the successful execution of a collaborative in-flight engagement between a Rafale and an unmanned aerial system equipped with the “NAMIB” electronic warfare payload.

The 2026 guidance is unchanged: an increase in 2026 net sales compared with 2025, in the range of EUR 8.5 billion (including the delivery of 40 Falcon and 28 Rafale).”

APPENDIX

1. DEFINITION OF ALTERNATIVE PERFORMANCE INDICATORS

To reflect the actual consolidated economic performance and for monitoring and comparability reasons, Dassault Aviation presented an adjusted income statement of:

• foreign exchange gains/losses resulting from the exercise of hedging instruments which do not qualify for hedge accounting under IFRS standards. This income, presented as financial result in the consolidated financial statements, is reclassified as net sales and thus as operating income in the adjusted income statement;
• the value of foreign exchange derivatives which do not qualify for hedge accounting, by neutralizing the change in fair value of these instruments (considering that gains or losses on hedging should only impact net income as commercial flows occur), with the exception of derivatives allocated to hedge balance-sheet positions whose change in fair value is presented as operating income;
• amortization of assets valued as part of the purchase price allocation (business combinations), known as “PPA” (Purchase Price Allocation);
• adjustments made by Thales in its financial reporting.

Dassault Aviation also presents the “available cash” indicator, which reflects the amount of total liquid assets, net of financial debt. It covers the following balance sheet items:

• cash and cash equivalents;
• other current financial assets;
• financial debt, excluding lease liabilities.

The calculation of this indicator is detailed in the condensed interim consolidated financial statements (see Note 7).

Only consolidated financial statements are audited by statutory auditors. Adjusted financial data are subject to the verification procedures applicable to all information provided in the half-year financial report.
