PRESS RELEASE
Thorigné-Fouillard, France – 9 July 2026, 6 p.m.
Kerlink (AKLK FR0013156007), a specialist provider of networks and solutions for the Internet of Things (IoT), today announces its revenue for the second quarter of the 2026 financial year.
In the second quarter of 2026, Kerlink returned to growth, posting revenue of €3.9 million, up 7% year-on-year and up 15% compared with the first quarter of 2026. This improvement reflects the gradual catch-up of delivery delays observed in the first quarter, in a component supply environment that remains tight. Over the first six months of the year, revenue was therefore stable at €7.3 million.
Growth for the quarter was mainly driven by private operators, particularly in the Smart Building & Industry segment, which continues to benefit from sustained demand.
Growth in service revenue was confirmed, reaching +12% over the first half as a whole, at €1.2 million. Their contribution to total revenue continued to increase, representing 16.5% of activity, compared with 15% a year earlier. This favourable shift in the sales mix should contribute to the improvement in profitability expected for the Group.
Equipment sales rose 7% in the second quarter to €3.3 million, reflecting the gradual improvement in delivery schedules despite ongoing supply-chain constraints.
Business remained well oriented internationally (55% of first-half revenue). The EMEA region, the Group's main market, posted stable activity, while the Americas returned to growth in the second quarter (+29%). In APAC, first-half revenue grew by 30%, confirming the commercial development under way in the region.
Solid order book and favourable outlook for the second half
The growth in service revenue and the favourable shift in the sales mix should support the improvement in profitability expected as early as the first half and confirm the operational turnaround under way at the Group.
For the second part of the financial year, Kerlink has satisfactory visibility, backed by a quality order book and commercial momentum that remains sustained. The Group nevertheless remains attentive to developments in supply conditions and to the price of certain components.
The rollout of the Track Value solution in the second half, together with the launch of new IoT solutions, should support the Group's commercial momentum.
Among the innovations recently unveiled is a new autonomous gateway designed for areas with insufficient coverage from traditional communication infrastructure. Early market feedback has been encouraging, and the Group is actively pursuing the conversion of identified opportunities.
