Revenue for the first half of 2025: €530.1 million

In the first half of 2025, the group's revenue amounted to €530.1 million, growing 3% compared to the first semester of 2024 (-3% organic growth).

  • In France, Freelance.com generated consolidated revenue of €388.4 million in the first semester, growing by 2% compared to the first semester of 2024 (-5% organic growth), representing 73% of the Group's total consolidated revenue ;

  • Internationally, Freelance.com generated consolidated revenue of €141.7 million in the first semester of 2025, growing by 4% year on year (+4% organic growth).

    Slowdown in French activities amid difficult market conditions and international stabilization

    French wage portage and intermediation activities experienced an organic slowdown in the first half of 2025. Persistent economic uncertainty is forcing our clients to postpone certain discretionary IT projects and reduce their use of independent workers. We anticipate that market conditions will remain difficult in the second half of 2025.

    Freelance.com is taking advantage of this environment by actively participating in the consolidation of the talent management market and strengthening its leading position. The acquisition of Prium enabled the Group to record consolidated growth of +3% over the half-year.

    Freelance.com's international activities confirmed their stabilization by recording their fourth consecutive quarter of organic growth (+4% over the semester) despite unfavorable market conditions.

    Decline in EBITDA margin over the half-year

    The consolidated accounts for the first semester of 2025 report €15.0 million of EBITDA, down 7% from

    €16.2m for the first half of 2024. This decline mainly reflects a decrease in billing rates towards some of our clients and an unfavorable business mix effect. The implementation of synergies related to acquisitions in the French portage division is gradually mitigating part of the pressure on margins.

    Operating income decreased by 20%, reaching €11.3m from €14.1m a year earlier, impacted by higher amortization of intangible assets linked to acquisitions.

    The Group's net income amounted to €15.6 million, a 58% increase due to the sale of Provigis which positively impacts the company's financial results by €9.5 million.

    Strengthened shareholder's equity position and healthy financial capabilities

    As of June 30, 2025, the Group benefits from a strong balance sheet structure with shareholders' equity of

    €177.7 million compared to €166.6 million six months before.

    Cash and cash equivalents, including marketable securities, amounted to €105.7 million, up €4.0 million over the half-year period.

  • Revenue for the 3rd quarter of 2025, Monday, November 17, 2025.

  • Annual revenue for 2025, Monday, February 23, 2026.
