  • Wendel Investment Managers: total value in NAV increased by +€6.1 per share compared with 31 March 2026, driven by the combination of an increase in the valuation multiples of the comparable companies, cash generation, and the reduction of certain liabilities in Q2 2026.

Wendel Investment Managers
37% of Gross Asset Value excluding cash¹⁶

Over H1 2026, the Wendel Asset Management platform (IK Partners, Monroe Capital and Committed Advisors), focused on the midmarket private markets, registered particularly strong levels of activity, generating a total of €226.2 million in reported Management fees and others, up +56.0 % vs. H1 2025, thanks to good organic growth and strong scope effects: in the first half of 2025, IK Partners was consolidated for the full semester, and Monroe Capital from late March, compared to the first half of 2026, in which IK Partners and Monroe Capital are consolidated over six months, and Committed Advisors from April 2026.

As a consequence, the reported consolidated Fee Related Earnings of the platform amounted to €87.1 million in H1 2026 (Committed Advisors having contributed only since April 1, 2026), up 46.4% vs last year, and FRE, group share, amounted to €51.1 million, up 49.5% vs last year. Recurring Profit Before Tax (FRE+PRE) was €90.7 million, up 48.1% vs. last year.

On a pro forma basis, assuming a full-semester contribution from Committed Advisors, FRE would have reached €95 million in the first half of the year at constant exchange rates, in line with the target of more than €200 million for full-year 2026 announced in December 2025.

Wendel Investment Managers pursued its strong momentum with equity fund raising of €2.2 billion during the first half, including €1.2 billion for Committed Advisors and $1.2 billion for Monroe Capital. For Monroe Capital,   over the same period, net outflows (new subscription less redemption met) from the non-tradable BDC (Monroe Capital Income Plus) was limited to $0.09bn.

As of June 30, 2026 Wendel’s third-party asset management platform¹⁷ reached total assets under management of €48.7 billion (of which €12.1 billion of Dry Powder¹⁸), and FPAuM¹⁹ of €37.8 billion. Since the start of the year, €4.2 billion of new Fee Paying AuM were generated and about €3.1 billion of exits and payoffs have been realized.

WIM main business developments:

IK Partners maintains in 2026 its pace of cash returned to investors : sale of  Innovad and Sofia in the first half and, 3 announced sales in July: coin4 solutions, Forthglade and MDT Technologies. In term of deployment, IK has announced year-to-date the acquisitions of Rhétorès, Selatek and Domek Group. IK Partners is also expanding its geographical footprint, with the opening of a new office in Madrid, Spain and the appointment of Gonzalo Fernandez-Albiñana as Partner, effective from September 1, 2026.

Monroe Capital raised $1.2 billion of New Equity and deployed $3.5 billion in the first half. Monroe Capital Private Credit Fund V ($6.1 billion) closed in December 2025 is now invested at 80% and a new vintage will be launched before year-end. Monroe is pursuing its diversification strategy in Asset-Backed Finance (launch of a REIT, closing of its first aircraft financing Asset-Backed Securities). 

Committed Advisors successfully raised €1.2 billion for its new CA GPSII and CASF VI funds in H1, in the first round of fundraising. The business pipeline for the next rounds is very positive.

Principal Investment companies’ value creation and performance

Figures post IFRS 16 unless otherwise specified.

Wendel’s Principal Investments’ portfolio rotation

Early 2026, Wendel announced the following transactions:

• Sale of Stahl: following the signing of an agreement to sell its stake in Stahl (excluding Muno),Wendel expects to receive total net proceeds of c.€1.2 billion at completion, which is expected to occur in the second half of 2026.

• Sale of IHS: Wendel supports MTN’s offer to acquire IHS Towers pursuant to which it will receive full liquidity on its 19% stake, representing net proceeds of approximately $535m. IHS has called it general assembly of shareholders meeting for August 4, with closing expected to occur in the second half of 2026.

Together, these two transactions will generate approximately €1.65 billion and give Wendel full flexibility to achieve its long-term value creation objectives through investments in private assets, the development of Wendel Investment Managers (WIM), and a higher return to shareholders

Listed Assets: 30% of Gross Asset Value excluding cash²⁰

Organic revenue growth was 5.0% compared to the first half of 2025, with growth of 5.5% in the second quarter of 2026.

• Mid-to-high single-digit organic revenue growth, versus mid-single-digit growth previously,

Unlisted Assets: 33% of Gross Asset Value excluding cash²¹

(1 ) In accordance with IFRS 5, the contribution of CPI France has been reclassified as “Net income from discontinued operations and operations held for sale” in 2025. Comparable H1 2025 revenue amounted to $69.2 million, compared with reported H1 2025 revenue of $69.5 million. The $0.3 million difference relates to CPI France, which was classified as held for sale and reported as a discontinued operation under IFRS 5.

(2) Equity method. 6-month revenue from December 1, 2025, to May 31, 2026. In H1 2025, Indian activities were not consolidated in Globeducate’s accounts, but are consolidated in H1 2026 figures (€11.7 million).

Crisis Prevention Institute – H1 2026 revenue growth of +0.8% and +3.0% EBITDA growth as compared with H1 2025

(full consolidation) 

Crisis Prevention Institute reported H1 2026 revenue of $69.8 million, representing growth of +0.8% vs. H1 2025. Of this increase, -0.2% was organic and +1.0% came from FX movements.

In North America, revenue was flat year-on-year reflecting continued federal oversight and funding uncertainty across CPI’s customer’s end markets. This was partially offset by continued customer engagement and strong renewal activity of existing Certified Instructors. CPI’s international operations delivered growth of +9%, supported by favorable commercial momentum and accelerating demand, highlighting the global relevancy of CPI’s services.
H1 2026 EBITDA was $31.3 million, up +3.0% vs. H1 2025, reflecting margins of 44.8% driven by tight cost controls only partially offset by the ramp-up of growth investments. Additional investments are budgeted for H2 2026.

As of June 30, 2026, net debt totaled $419.7 million, or 5.4x EBITDA as defined in CPI’s credit agreement.

Andee Harris, CPI’s new CEO who joined in August 2025, is leading an effort to strengthen the company’s management and commercial organization to best capture market opportunities and return to stronger growth. These initiatives include, in particular, the reinforcement of the go-to-market capabilities, with a more targeted approach for new account development.

ACAMS – H1 2026 pro forma revenue growth of +4.2% as compared to H1 2025, driven by strong recovery in Europe and continued growth in the Americas and Middle East. Revenue growth supported by +200 bps improvement in EBITDA margin to 27.7%.

(full consolidation)

ACAMS reported revenue of $53.9 million, up +1.3% compared to H1 2025, or up +4.2% excluding the non-core Risk Assessment offering which will be discontinued in accounting presentations starting from Q3 2026. H1 2026 performance reflects the ongoing commercial transformation, including newly appointed executive leadership and go-to-market teams, recently launched technology platform, and accelerating demand across the Americas and EMEA offset by select customer delays in the APAC region, which are expected to be resolved in Q3 2026.

H1 2026 EBITDA was $14.9 million, up 8.8% vs. H1 2025 and reflecting a 27.7% margin, up 200 bps year-over-year. The increase in first half profitability largely reflects topline growth and disciplined cost control by management.

As of June 30, 2026, net debt totaled $164.2 million, which represents 4.9x EBITDA as defined in ACAMS’ credit agreement, with ample room relative to the 9.5x covenant level.

Scalian – Amid continued challenging market conditions, Scalian maintained a resilient EBITDA margin of 11.0% while laying the foundations for a gradual recovery in activity. Revenue down 5.1%.

(Full consolidation)  

Scalian, a leading consulting firm specializing in systems engineering, operational performance and AI transformation, reported revenue of €244.5 million in the first half of 2026, down 5.1% compared with the first half of 2025.

This performance reflects continued challenging market conditions, particularly in France, where customer decision-making cycles remain extended, partly offset by a more resilient trend in international markets. Organic growth stood at -4.8% over the period.

Against this backdrop, Scalian generated EBITDA of €26.8 million in the first half of 2026. The EBITDA margin stood at 11.0%, down by a limited 20 bps compared with the first half of 2025, demonstrating the Scalian’s ability to preserve its operating performance despite lower activity levels, supported by efficiency measures implemented by management and enhanced cost discipline.

As of June 30, 2026, net debt amounted to €292.3 million (6.49x EBITDA leverage²²). During the period, Wendel converted its €100 million shareholder loan granted in 2025 into equity, thereby strengthening Scalian’s balance sheet and supporting its ability to continue executing its development strategy in its core areas of expertise.

Globeducate – Total revenue up +11.7% over 6-month period ending May 31, 2026. Annualized EBITDA margin c.25% in line with expectations.

(equity accounted. Activity for the six-month period from December 1, 2025 to May 31, 2026.)

Globeducate, one of the world’s leading bilingual K-12 education groups, posted total revenue of €251.1 million²³ for the 6-month period ending May 31, 2026, representing a total increase of +11.7% over last year. Of this increase, +6.1% was organic, +6.5% came from accretive M&A transactions and change in scope, including the consolidation of India, and -0.9% was FX. In H1 2025, Indian activities were not consolidated in Globeducate’s accounts, but are consolidated in H1 2026 figures (€11.7 million).

EBITDA for the period stood at €90.5 million. EBITDA is always particularly high at this time of year driven by the seasonality of the business (revenues are recognized over the academic year while costs are spread out across the entire fiscal year) and will smooth out over the next quarter. EBITDA was in line with expectations and ensures an annualized EBITDA margin at c.25%. This solid financial performance was fueled by a combination of organic and external growth as well as strict cost control.

Over the last twelve months, Globeducate completed the following acquisitions, which contributed to the scope effect on revenues: Clover (Canada), closed in September 2025, contributing to the 2026 perimeter. In addition, Globeducate acquired Peleteiro (Spain), closed in May 2026, signed an agreement to acquire Queen Morta (Lithuania), in mid-June 2026 (closing expected by the end of the year) and sold in January 2026 Areteia, a non-core school in Spain generating €1.1 million in EBITDA.

Net debt as of May 31, 2026, was €910.6 million and leverage stood at 6.7x, as per credit documentation.

Other unlisted assets

Tarkett is now an unlisted asset and Muno is classified as an asset held for sale (IFRS 5). The combined value of these two assets in Wendel’s NAV as of June 30, 2026 is approximately €250 million.

Wendel’s net asset value as of June 30, 2026: €158.9 per share on a fully diluted basis

Change in NAV compared to March 31, 2026:

Wendel’s Net Asset Value (NAV) as of June 30, 2026, was prepared by Wendel to the best of its knowledge and on the basis of market data available at this date and in compliance with its methodology.

Fully diluted Net Asset Value was €158.9 per share as of June 30, 2026 (see detail in the table below), increasing by +2.6% since end of March 2026 when restated from the €3.6 dividend balance paid in May. NAV published as of March 31, 2026 was €158.4, representing an increase of €0.5 per share since then (+1.5%) and by €4.1 per share including the dividend paid in May 2026.

The change in NAV in the second quarter breaks down as follows:

• WPI: slightly negative contribution to value creation in the second quarter (-€3.8 per share):
  • Listed assets’ total value is slightly down (-€1.0 per share) as a result of Bureau Veritas 20-day average share price slightly decreasing in Q2 2026. Positive contribution from IHS Towers, valued at the current offer price and supported by favorable foreign-exchange effects from the stronger U.S. dollar.
  • Unlisted assets’ value in NAV was slightly down over the second quarter with a total change of -€2.8 per share, despite the good operating performance of the companies, and reflecting a slight contraction in comparable-company multiples.
• WIM’s contribution to NAV growth was positive, at +€6.1 per share in Q2, driven by an increase in the valuation multiples of the comparable companies, cash generation, and the reduction of certain liabilities in Q2 2026.
  • A total of €273 million of sponsor money is included in the NAV as of end of June, corresponding to investments in funds managed by IK Partners, Monroe Capital and Committed Advisors.
• Other components of fully diluted Net Asset Value (NAV):
  • Cash operating costs, net financing results and other items impacted NAV by -€1.0 per share over Q2, reflecting contained operating costs.
  • Between March 31 and June 30, 2026, Wendel repurchased 1.5 million shares under its share buyback program, resulting in a positive contribution of €2.8 per share to Wendel’s fully diluted NAV over the quarter.

Consolidated Accounts

On July 29, 2026, Wendel’s Supervisory Board met under the chairmanship of Nicolas ver Hulst and reviewed Wendel’s consolidated financial statements, as approved by the Executive Board on July 23, 2026.

Wendel Group’s consolidated net sales totaled €3,835.2 million, up +3.2% overall and up +4.0% organically. FX contribution is -2.6% and scope effect is +1.9%.

WIM’s contribution to net income from operations rose from €49.0 million in H1 2025 to €78.0 million in H1 2026 thanks to the acquisition of Committed Advisors in April 2026 and Monroe Capital’s contribution over 6 months in H1 2026 (compared to 3 months in H1 2025). WIM’s contribution to the net income group share increased from €29.3 million to €49.1 million.

The sponsor money contributions from WIM and Wendel Growth have been reclassified within net income from operations to better reflect the deployment of the Group’s strategy. It contributed a gain of €10.8 million in H1 2026, compared with a loss of €32.5 million in H1 2025, the latter primarily reflecting an impairment related to Wendel Growth funds disposed of in H2 2025.

In addition, the total contribution from WPI portfolio companies to net income from operations attributable to the Group amounted to €102.9 million, stable vs. H1 2025 (€102.5 million).

Total financial expenses, general and administrative expenses, and taxes recorded at the level of Wendel SE amounted to €62.0 million (including €12.0 million in non-cash items), representing an increase of 35% compared with €45.9 million in H1 2025. This increase is largely due to net financial income impact (€-11.5 million in H1 2026 vs. -€1.0 million in H1 2025) due to lower returns on cash, reflecting the combined impact of lower interest rates and a lower cash balance. In addition, general and administrative expenses were higher due to the WIM platform structuration.

Net income from operations therefore increased by +28.9% at €418.1 million compared with €324.4 million in H1 2025, while net income from operations attributable to the Group amounted to €100.9 million, up 88.5%.

Consolidated net income for H1 2026 totaled +€320.8 million (€69.5 million attributable to the Group),
up +19.7% vs. H1 2025.

• AUM (Assets under Management): AUM refers to the total value of assets managed by a company on behalf of its clients, including all portfolios and mandates, whether those assets are equities, bonds, real estate, or other types. AUM is used to measure the size and influence of an asset manager, considering invested, committed, or available funds. Its composition may vary depending on calculation methods, but it remains a key indicator for comparing asset management firms and tracking their growth. 
• BDC: A business development company, or BDC, is a closed-end investment company that was created by American Congress in 1980 in order to assist middle market companies to meet their capital needs and grow.
