BUSINESS REVIEW
Engineering BU, a quarter in line with the start of the year
The Engineering BU (50.9% of turnover), at €57.9 million, was down 4.6% (-3.5% at constant exchange rates), due in part to an unfavorable base effect after having driven the Group’s growth for several years.
As anticipated since the beginning of the year, the decline in business aviation activity in Europe is weighing on the Engineering BU’s performance. However, this decline is partially offset by growth in North America and efforts toward diversification.
Commercial successes with new clients, particularly in the Defense and Aeronautics sectors, nevertheless reinforce the strategy being implemented and should enable the Group to gradually reduce its dependence on its traditional markets.
In line with the change in scope announced by the Group on October 1, 2026, the third quarter marks the final period of integration of engineering activities performed for Airbus within Commercial Aviation.
Solutions BU, mixed market conditions, with the strategy delivering results
The Solutions BU posted slight growth at constant exchange rates (+0.8% YTD), though it was negatively impacted by currency effects totaling €1.2 million over the first nine months (-1.4%). It now accounts for 49.1% of the Group’s turnover.
The Equipment segment grew by 3.6% at constant exchange rates.
Thanks to its leading market position, SOGECLAIR Composite saw significant growth in its business due to the ramp-up of the A350 and A220 programs. Also noteworthy is its active business development during the quarter, which opens up new opportunities for the coming years.
The SOGECLAIR Aircraft Interiors activity is growing, although this growth is masked by currency fluctuations.
Meanwhile, SOGECLAIR Land Systems continues to be hampered by delays in government orders.
Simulation activities declined by 3.3%.
Against a backdrop of mixed market conditions, despite the renewal of airline fleets and increased pilot training needs, the flight simulator and simulated equipment markets continue to lag behind expectations. Diversification efforts in the Defense sector should bear fruit quickly.
Automotive simulation remains sluggish in a challenging market.
Synthetic environment simulation in the Defense sector saw business growth over the course of the year. This trend is expected to continue, with strong prospects ahead.
Finally, as anticipated, the rail business is gradually returning to a growth trajectory. This momentum confirms the potential of the growth drivers identified by the Group and should make a greater contribution to the Group’s business in the coming years.
PERSPECTIVES
In a global environment that remains marked by economic and geopolitical uncertainties, the Group is seeing a favorable trend in several of its strategic markets, particularly in the Defense and Simulation sectors. Market fundamentals remain solid and support the outlook for medium- and long-term growth.
In this context, on October 29, 2026, SOGECLAIR will present an update to its “Ambition 2030” strategic plan, which will outline its development priorities for the coming years. SOGECLAIR intends to pursue its development around four strategic business areas.
With an agile organization, an international presence refocused on its priority areas, and strengthened investment capabilities, SOGECLAIR is thus continuing to implement its roadmap aimed at profitable and disciplined growth.
