Sales from the Games activity stood at €2 2.4 million for the quarter, up 13.8% compared to the
previous fiscal year.

Catalogue activity (new games). After a strong increase in the fourth quarter of 2025 -2026 (+33.2%),
sales for the 1st quarter of 2026 -2027 stood at €3.9 million. This level reflects a limited number of
game releases over the period, with Cthulhu: The Cosmic Abyss TM, Tour de France 26 TM et Pro
Cycling Manager TM 26 . It should be noted that the performance of Tour de France TM is improving year –
on -year.

The Back Catalogue (games released in previous fiscal years) recorded a solid performance, with
sales of €18.5 million, up 32% over the quarter . It benefits from the high volume of releases in the
previous fiscal year.
Sales for the Accessories activity recorded, as in the previous quarter, a less pronounced decline
compared to last year due to a more favorable US market. Sales thus stood at
€9. 2 million, down 1 5.4 %.

3. Outlook and strategic development axes for fiscal year 2026 -2027

For the Games activity, the coming months will benefit from the release of several major games
covering the majority of genre specialties, including:

– Racing: MXGP ™ 26, Endurance Motorsport ™
– Action/ Adventure: Edge of Memories ™
– Simulation: Hunting Simulator 3

Furthermore, the game The Mound TM, released on July 15 , is off to an excellent start.

Backed by a volume of releases sustained over the 2025 -2026 fiscal year, Back Catalogue sales is
expected to grow over the fiscal year.

In a more favorable US market environment, the Accessories activity could sustainably return to the
path of growth, driven by the new RIG headsets and the range of console steering wheels.

As part of its redeployment strategy, the Company aims primarily to build a more agile, efficient, and
higher -performing organi sation. The transformation plan, which will be presented shortly, is based
primarily on four priority areas:
– A more selective allocation of investments towards games offering more predictable
profitability and/or recurring sales;
– Increased agility for studios with streamlined teams;
– Centralized and strengthened governance supported by the pooling of expertise and support
functions;
– Securing revenue by prioriti zing strong licenses and IPs .

The Company will keep the market informed as its situation evolves and regarding the progress of the
proceedings.
