March 18 (Reuters) – French underwater drone maker Exail Technologies said on Wednesday its full-year current core profit grew 40% to 103 million euros ($119 million), with order intake surging 87% to 844 million euros.
For 2026, the company forecast revenue growth in a double-digit percentage and current earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation growth above that of revenues. It continues to target an EBITDA margin of 25%.
Revenue in the second half of 2025, at 258 million euros, was better than expected, with drone systems for mine countermeasures as the primary growth driver, Exail said in a press release.
