EPC Groupe Sees 9.4% Revenue Increase in Q1 2026

EPC Groupe, listed on Euronext under EXPL, announced a 9.4% rise in consolidated revenue for the first quarter of 2026, totaling €152.9 million. This reflects a 10.2% increase at constant exchange rates and scope. The growth was largely driven by the Explosives & Drilling & Blasting segment, which grew by 7.4%, as well as a significant 14.1% rise in Global Technical Solutions.

The company's financial performance was robust in various regions. The Europe, Mediterranean, and Americas region registered an 11.3% growth, overcoming challenges such as adverse weather conditions in Europe. The Africa Asia Pacific region also showed a positive trajectory with a 4.2% increase, rebounding from previous declines.

Key developments for EPC Groupe include major contracts signed in the gold mining sector in the Middle East and strengthened positions in Canada's mining market. The ongoing merger with the Société Suisse des Explosifs is also progressing, with a targeted completion by Q3 2026.
