PRESS RELEASE
After three months of activity (end of December 2025), the Group's revenue had increased by 3.5% compared to last year and stood at €817.5 million. The volumes of ferrous scrap metal sold were up slightly by 0.5%. The volumes of non-ferrous metals sold increased were up by 5.5%.
In the Public Sector Services business, a contracts business, the change is in line with the Group's expectations, i.e. a slight increase in revenue and profitability measured in terms of EBITDA.
The Group's recurring EBITDA at the end of December 2025 stood at €71.4 million, up €11.4 million compared to last year.
Despite a sluggish economic situation, the Group confirms the favorable outlook communicated in its annual results, including:
- an expected improvement in unit margins on ferrous scrap metal due to a favorable basis of comparison;
- support for the European steel industry, through the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (operational since January 1, 2026) and a reform of the European pricing policy (at July 1, 2026), which should result in additional ferrous scrap metal demand by the end of the fiscal year;
- the construction of new electric steel mills in Europe in the coming years due to their environmental benefits;
- start-up of a copper cable shredding line in Spain and hot water tank shredding lines in France.
The Derichebourg Group will publish its half-year results on May 28, 2026.
