I. SECOND QUARTER REVENUES WERE UP +8% ORGANIC
2025 Q2 revenues were €10,011 million, up +8.3% organic and up +4.6% on a reported basis.
Products (48% of Q2 revenues) grew +2% organic in Q2. Product revenues were up low-single digit in Energy Management with good growth in sales of electrical distribution products, including connectable offers, across many segments and geographies. There was good contribution from product growth across end-markets in India, partly offset by softness in the Residential buildings market primarily in North America and parts of Western Europe. Industrial Automation product revenues were down low-single digit, contrasted by offer and geography, as the expected progressive demand recovery in Discrete automation continues to play out.
Systems (33% of Q2 revenues) grew +17% organic in Q2, with strong double-digit sales growth in Energy Management with contribution across end-markets and segments, most notably in Data Center which saw particular traction for the Group’s modular offering. In Industrial Automation, Systems growth was down midsingle digit driven by timing of project execution in Process & Hybrid automation markets, while sales into Discrete automation markets were close to flat.
Software & Services (19% of Q2 revenues) grew +11% organic in Q2, of which Software & Digital Services (7% of Q2 revenues) grew +10% organic and Field Services (12% of Q2 revenues) grew +12% organic.
Agnostic Software (comprising AVEVA, ETAP and RIB Software)
AVEVA delivered good growth in Annualized Recurring Revenue (ARR), up +12% as of 30 June 2025, though impacted by timing with some deals slipping from Q2 to Q3. The ARR growth was driven by strong upsell to existing customers, while strong performance in the distributor channel led to good growth in new logo count. Good revenue growth was noted in Energies & Chemicals (E&C), Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG) and Life Sciences. Growth was led by particularly strong uptake in SaaS, including for the PI System offer, while Perpetual license revenues continued to decline as expected and maintenance revenues also declined as customers migrate to AVEVA Flex Credit subscriptions.
Energy Management agnostic Software offers (ETAP and RIB Software) delivered double-digit organic sales growth in Q2, against a high-single digit base of comparison. The Group’s eCAD offer (ETAP) led the performance, with strong growth in multi-year on-premise rental contracts and with services revenue benefitting from large deal delivery. The Group’s software offer for the construction market (RIB Software) also grew, with growth in subscription revenues, though impacted by planned declines in perpetual license revenues as part of its ongoing transition.
Services (comprising Digital and Field Services offers) grew double-digit organic in Q2
Digital Services delivered double-digit organic growth in Q2, driven by strong growth in EcoStruxure Advisors and offers supporting Grid digitalization and Data Centers, alongside strong take-up for the
Group’s cybersecurity offering. The Group’s Digital Services offering comprises its internally generated EcoStruxure solutions and advisors, including Sustainability advisory offers, and its digital offers for prosumers.
Field Services grew +12% organic in Q2, led by strong growth in Energy Management services, while Industrial Automation services were around flat. In Energy Management, growth was led by the Data Center end-market, including commissioning, modernization and maintenance, while also seeing traction in the Industry end-market driven by pharmaceuticals and CPG. Industrial Automation saw similar trends in both Discrete and Process & Hybrid automation markets. The Group’s Field Services offering includes safety, efficiency, sustainability and resiliency services across all four end-markets served by the Group, including its efficiency offers for Sustainability.

Q2 2025 PERFORMANCE BY END-MARKET
Schneider Electric sells its integrated portfolio into four end-markets: Buildings, Data Center & Networks, Infrastructure and Industry, leveraging the unique combination of Energy Management and Industrial Automation complementary offers and technologies supported by the focus on electrification, automation and digitalization to enable a sustainable future.
• Buildings – The Buildings end-market saw good demand in the quarter. The growing need for electrical, smart/digital and energy efficient buildings – across renovation and new-builds – continued to support demand.
Most of the Group’s exposure is towards the Non-residential segment where demand remains strong across a range of technical building categories. The company is particularly well positioned with its full suite of offers including EcoStruxure architectures from connectable products to edge control systems, field and digital services, including agnostic software solutions. In contrast, the relatively smaller Residential buildings segment continued to experience a decline in demand with regional variations influenced by ongoing macroeconomic uncertainty and differing interest rate regimes.
• Data Center & Networks – The overall environment in the Data Center segment continues to be very strong, with a strong pipeline of deals as customers build a growing presence in AI, expanding from business with Internet Giants to a broader range of colocation providers and other players. Sales grew double-digit in Q2 as did underlying demand, excluding an as-expected rephasing of orders by one customer into H2 2025 and 2026. There was good traction for the Group’s cooling offers, both for traditional cooling technologies (contributing to organic sales growth) and for liquid cooling at Motivair (reported as a scope impact in Q2). In the Distributed-IT segment, demand growth was solid overall, contrasted between strong demand in B2B, led by the U.S., partly offset by a weaker environment in B2C.
• Infrastructure – Demand in the Infrastructure end-market was stable at a high level. Demand in the Power and Grid (P&G) segment was stable at a high level, adjusting for the presence of a large order in the baseline. The Group’s comprehensive portfolio including digital solutions and end-to-end services, with ADMS playing an increasingly important role, provides a compelling offer to Grid Operators, who remain in the spotlight following several recent and high-profile power outages. The Company is also strategically well positioned with SF₆-free technologies in anticipation of regulatory changes, effective from 2026 in Europe. In the Water & Wastewater (WWW) segment, demand was strong, particularly in North America, Middle East and Asia Pacific.
• Industry – In Q2 there was good demand growth as the Group continues to benefit from its unique value proposition, combining Energy Management and Industrial Automation offers, including products, systems, software & services. In Discrete industries, the demand recovery continued, with good growth in orders in the quarter. The Machinery and Industrial Manufacturing segments each saw demand growth, with Western Europe and the U.S. leading the recovery, with China around flat, seeing good recovery with OEMs while end-user segments retained some softness. In Process industries, despite macro uncertainty and volatile commodity prices, E&C and Metals, Mining & Minerals (MMM) saw strong growth in demand, led by North America, South America and Middle East & Africa.
Group trends by geography:
North America (38% of Q2 2025 revenues) grew +12.5% organic in Q2.
Energy Management grew +14.6% organic. The U.S. grew double-digit, with a continuation of strong doubledigit growth in Systems led by the Data Center segment, supported by execution on a large project in the Buildings end-market and good traction in the Water & Wastewater segment. Services were up double-digit, supported by strong momentum in Data Centers, as well as contributions from other sectors including pharmaceuticals and CPG. Product revenues grew low-single digit, where growth in power distribution across segments and in Distributed IT was mostly offset by declines in Residential Buildings. Canada grew strong double-digit led by Systems growth primarily in Data Centers, partly offset by declines in product sales, including in Residential Buildings. Mexico declined sharply, impacted by the ongoing uncertainty surrounding the trade situation in the region and the broader macroeconomic environment.
Industrial Automation declined -2.9% organic. The U.S. was down slightly, where strong growth at AVEVA was more than offset by the combination of continued softness in Discrete automation sales and a strong base of comparison in Process & Hybrid automation markets. Canada was around flat, while Mexico saw substantial declines, primarily in Process automation segments due to lower activity with a customer in the E&C segment.
Western Europe (23% of Q2 2025 revenues) grew +2.1% organic in Q2.
Energy Management grew +2.8% organic. There was strong growth in Spain and a solid contribution to growth from Italy and France, with Germany up slightly while the U.K. declined. Across the region, there was good growth in Systems, including execution on Data Center projects in Spain, Italy and France, despite an overall environment of project delays. Product growth was down slightly with continued softness in Residential buildings across the region, with the U.K. particularly weak, partly offset by growth in other end-markets and segments. There was good growth in aggregate across the rest of the region, led by continued execution on a Data Center project in Belgium, and good growth in the Nordics.
Industrial Automation declined -0.2% organic. Growth in software at AVEVA was strong, led by performance in Switzerland. Discrete automation sales were around flat sequentially, with performance varied by country. Sales into Process & Hybrid automation markets declined year-over-year, against a double-digit base of comparison and in a weak market environment, notably in the E&C segment. Italy delivered strong growth in the quarter with growth in Discrete automation and at AVEVA. France was around flat, while Germany declined due to the weakness in E&C and lower activity with OEMs following a strong Q1.
Asia Pacific (27% of Q2 2025 revenues) grew +7.4% organic in Q2.
Energy Management grew +10.9% organic. India delivered strong double-digit growth, led by products, reflecting the strength of the Group’s complete offer across end-markets and the continuing success of its multibrand strategy in the country. China was up mid-single digit with broad-based growth led by Data Center, with contributions from Industry and Infrastructure, while the Buildings end-market remained subdued. Australia grew double-digit driven by continued strong execution on Data Center projects and good growth in the Residential buildings market. There was high-single digit growth in aggregate across the rest of the region, with notable contributions from Indonesia, which saw good growth in Residential buildings and continued strength in Data Centers; strong growth in Japan due to Data Centers; and strong performance in Vietnam, where a strong local economy resulted in growth across most end-markets.
Industrial Automation contracted -4.7% organic, with low-single digit declines in Discrete automation markets and weakness in Process & Hybrid automation markets. In China, which declined mid-single digit overall, sales growth into Discrete automation markets was slightly positive while there was a sharp decline in sales into the smaller Process & Hybrid market. India was down, with Discrete automation markets declining in the quarter. Elsewhere in the region, Australia declined overall primarily tied to weakness in Process Automation and timing at AVEVA, though partly offset by growth in Discrete automation. Japan was down, tied with weakness at OEMs, while Korea was around flat.
Rest of the World (12% of Q2 2025 revenues) grew +10.4% organic in Q2.
Energy Management grew +11.4% organic. Middle East & Africa was up double-digit led by growth in Saudi Arabia and in the U.A.E., mainly driven by execution on Systems particularly in the E&C and Data Center segments. There was strong contribution from Egypt across business models and good contribution from several other countries across Africa. South America was up high-single digit, driven by Chile with particularly strong growth from project execution in the MMM segment, partly offset by Argentina which declined, while Brazil was around flat in the quarter. Central & Eastern Europe was up mid-single digit, supported by project execution in the electrical utilities segment.
Industrial Automation grew +7.6% organic. There was strong growth across the region for sales made into Process & Hybrid automation markets, up double-digit led by project execution in the E&C segment in the U.A.E. and Saudi Arabia, supported by strong growth in multiple countries in South America. Software sales at AVEVA grew double-digit due to E&C, Utilities and MMM customers, primarily in the Middle East and South America. Sales into Discrete Automation markets were up mid-single digit in aggregate across the region, with strong contribution from Brazil, Egypt and Gulf countries, while Argentina declined.
SCOPE4 AND FOREIGN EXCHANGE IMPACTS5 IN Q2
In Q2, net acquisitions/disposals had an impact of +€126 million or +1.4% of Group revenues, including the acquisitions of Planon and Motivair, along with the impact of some smaller disposals.
Based on transactions completed to-date, the Scope impact on FY 2025 revenues is estimated to be around +€300 million. The Scope impact on adjusted EBITA margin for FY 2025 is estimated to be around flat.
In Q2, the impact of foreign exchange fluctuations was negative at -€440 million or -4.6% of Group revenues, mostly driven by the weakening of the U.S. Dollar, Chinese Yuan and Indian Rupee against the Euro.
Based on current rates6, the FX impact on FY 2025 revenues is estimated to be between -€1.25 billion to -€1.35 billion. The FX impact at current rates on adjusted EBITA margin for FY 2025 could be around -40bps.
4. Changes in scope of consolidation also include some minor reclassifications of offers among different businesses.
5. For those currencies meeting the criteria to be considered hyperinflationary under IAS 29, such as Argentina and Turkey, an IFRS technical adjustment for hyperinflation impact is reflected as FX and therefore excluded from the organic growth calculation. The effect of operational actions taken in these countries such as increased pricing to mitigate the inflationary impact is reflected as part of the organic growth.
6. Forward exchange rates are volatile and difficult to predict. Consequently, the impact of such movement and possible impacts from hyperinflation technical accounting (IAS29) are not factored at this stage.

ADJUSTED EBITA MARGIN AT 18.2%, DOWN -10BPS ORGANIC, IMPACTED BY LOWER GROSS MARGIN PARTIALLY OFFSET BY A REDUCTION IN SFC / SALES RATIO
Gross profit was up +5.6% organic with Gross margin down -90bps organic, to be at 42.4% in H1. Gross margin was negatively impacted by raw material cost inflation and some impact from tariffs, coming in advance of the impact of pricing actions taken during H1 to compensate. Mix also adversely impacted the Gross margin, partly offset by Industrial Productivity.
H1 Adjusted EBITA reached €3,510 million, increasing organically by +6.9% and the Adjusted EBITA margin contracted by -10bps organic to 18.2% as a consequence of the Gross Margin evolution. SFC costs decreased as a percentage of revenues by +50bps to 24.3%, with a positive organic evolution of +80bps partly offset by FX headwinds.

▪ FREE CASH FLOW OF €474 MILLION
The Group delivered Free Cash Flow of €474 million in H1.
Operating cash flow was strong at €2,944 million, though down -€151 million vs. H1’24 mainly due to the timing of cash tax payments. The operating cash flow included R&D cash costs of €1,179 million, which increased to 6.1% of H1 2025 revenue.
Net capital expenditure increased to -€717 million (€81 million higher than in H1’24) representing around 3.7% of revenues, with 2.6% relating to net tangible capex and 1.1% to intangible capex (mainly capitalized development costs), as the Group continued its supply chain capacity expansion and focus on innovation.
Working capital requirements were broadly stable compared to H1’24. Trade working capital buildup impacted the free cash flow in H1 2025 by -€976 million, primarily in relation to an increase in inventory with DIN up by 12 days compared to December 2024, while DSO on receivables and DPO on payables were around flat compared to December.
Additionally, in H1 the Group paid a fine of -€207 million in relation to a previously disclosed legal case in France.
The cash conversion ratio (Free Cash Flow as a percentage of Net Income Group Share) was 25% in H1 2025, in part due to the non-cash impairment of investment in Uplight and payment of the fine in France. The cash conversion ratio was 31% adjusted for these items, down from 42% on an equivalent basis in the first half of last year. As was the case in recent years, the Group expects a higher cash conversion ratio in H2.
▪ BALANCE SHEET REMAINS STRONG
Schneider Electric’s net debt at June 30, 2025 amounted to €11,984 million compared to €8,147 million at December 31, 2024. The main movements in H1 related to payment of -€2.2 billion to fulfill the 2024 dividend, -€0.8bn payment to acquire a 75% controlling interest in Motivair, offset by the Free Cash Flow performance of +€0.5 billion.
III. SCHNEIDER SUSTAINABILITY IMPACT
Schneider Electric today announced its sustainability performance scores for the second quarter of 2025, marking a pivotal moment as the company enters the final stretch of its 2021-2025 Schneider Sustainability Impact (SSI) program. With six months remaining, Schneider Electric continues to demonstrate its commitment to measurable, inclusive, and transformative progress across its Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) goals. The company’s SSI score reached 8.06 out of 10 this quarter, reflecting sustained momentum across key sustainability pillars.
This quarter, Schneider Electric was honored as theWorld’s Most Sustainable CompanybyTIMEand Statistafor the second consecutive year. This recognition follows its recent distinction asEurope’s Most SustainableCorporationbyCorporate Knights, reinforcing the company’s leadership in sustainability.
Beyond accolades, Q2 2025 delivered tangible results. Schneider Electric surpassed its goal of training 1 million people in energy management, a cornerstone of its commitment to inclusive energy transition and youth empowerment. This milestone, aligned with World Youth Skills Day 2025, is driven by the Youth Education & Entrepreneurship Program, active in over 60 countries. The program equips underserved communities with technical and entrepreneurial skills to participate in the energy transition.
Recent initiatives highlight the program’s global reach and impact:
• In Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh, digital twin technology is used to train displaced communities in solar repair and e-waste recycling.
• The Conserve My Planet program engages students in India, Kenya, Vietnam, and Thailand through hands-on sustainability projects.
• In Brazil, mobile training benches bring renewable energy education to incarcerated youth, supporting reintegration and reducing recidivism.
These initiatives share a common thread: when education meets technology and purpose, systemic change becomes possible.
Schneider Electric also reported continued progress across several core sustainability indicators:
• 734 million tonnes of CO₂ emissions saved and avoided for customers since 2018, crossing the 700million-tonne milestone.
• Supply chain decarbonization efforts continue to gain momentum, as operational CO₂ emissions from Schneider Electric’s top 1,000 suppliers were reduced now by 48%, just two points away from the year-end target.

VIII. EXPECTED TRENDS IN 2025
Amid an environment of heightened uncertainty, the Group currently expects:
• Continued demand recovery in Discrete automation, with sales growth weighted towards H2
• Continued market demand to drive growth, with contribution from across end-markets (Data Center & Networks, Buildings, Industry and Infrastructure), despite weakness in Residential
• Continued strong demand for Systems offers, led by the Data Center and Infrastructure end-markets
• Further progress on subscription transition in Software; strong growth in Services
• Commercial and supply chain actions to counter the impacts of tariffs; leverage multi-hub setup to ensure agile and responsible management of profitability, capital investments and cash flow
• All four regions to contribute to growth, led by U.S., India, Middle East & Africa
IX. 2025 TARGET REAFFIRMED
Based on the ongoing uncertain geopolitical environment, and incorporating the impacts of trade tariffs enacted or formally announced to-date, the Group reaffirms its 2025 financial target as follows:
2025 Adjusted EBITA growth of between +10% and +15% organic.
The target would be achieved through a combination of organic revenue growth and margin improvement, currently expected to be:
• Revenue growth of +7% to +10% organic
• Adjusted EBITA margin up +50bps to +80bps organic
This implies Adjusted EBITA margin of around 18.7% to 19.0% (including scope based on transactions completed to-date and FX based on current estimation).
