Excluding the 2024 fiscal year, which was skewed by activities related to Paris 2024 and created a high base effect, the international communications consulting group demonstrates steady and continuous growth of nearly 50% in total compared to 2021.
Indeed, this year was characterized by a 7% increase in international activities, which now represent more than 35% of the gross margin, supplemented by an additional 25% from global operations invoiced out of Paris.
"After a disappointing first half for events in France due to the post-Paris 2024 Olympics period, the market returned to growth in the second half. The group successfully rebuilt a solid profit margin, notably thanks to more than 60% of its business being generated internationally," stated Frédéric Bedin, Chairman of the Management Board of Hopscotch.
EBITDA | AL (after neutralizing the IFRS 16 accounting impact related to lease capitalization) stood at 7.111 million euros in 2025, a limited decline of 1.613 million euros compared to 2024 (8.723 million euros).
Following a profitable second half, consolidated operating income came in at 6.010 million euros, compared to 9.163 million euros in 2024.
After corporate income tax (-1.396 million euros), the group share of net income amounted to 2.61 million euros for the year.
In 2025, Hopscotch accelerated its deleveraging with the repayment of 5.5 million euros of its State-Guaranteed Loan (PGE) and 3 million euros of its amortizing loans. Total debt stands at 21.9 million euros, including 4.4 million euros in PGE.
The Management Board will propose a dividend payment of 0.50 euros per share at the Annual General Meeting on May 28, 2025.
For 2026 and the coming years, Hopscotch intends to adopt a targeted approach to acquisitions. This strategy aims to strengthen its positions geographically, sectorally, or by business line in order to penetrate new high-growth markets, create synergies, and generate long-term value.
The group's ambition for 2030 is to move toward a gross margin of 200 million euros, accompanied by an operating margin (ROC) of 15%.
Hopscotch targets 200 million euro gross margin by 2030
For the 2025 fiscal year, Hopscotch reported consolidated revenue of 270.8 million euros, representing a 15.1% decline. Consolidated gross margin reached 98.8 million euros, down 5.7%. The second half of the year showed a significant rebound in activity, with a gross margin of 52.9 million euros compared to 45.9 million euros in the first half.
