Rexel H1 2025 earnings summary
Complete event summary combining all related documents: earnings call transcript, report, and slide presentation.
Executive summary
H1 2025 sales reached €9.8bn, up 1.6% same day, with Q2 acceleration driven by North America volumes, digital transformation, and strong datacenter and broadband segments; digital sales rose to 34% of Q2 sales.
North America outperformed, offsetting persistent demand softness in Europe and Asia-Pacific, with Europe facing solar and cable pricing headwinds.
Five acquisitions completed or announced in 2025, reinforcing strategic priorities in North America, Canada, and Italy.
Profitability remained resilient, supported by cost initiatives and digital transformation, despite challenging macro and regional conditions.
Net income fell 25.9% to €261.6m, mainly due to lower operating income and higher tax expense.
Financial highlights
Q2 sales nearly €5bn, up 0.6% reported, with 1.8% same day growth and 1.7% from acquisitions; currency impact -2.3%.
Adjusted EBITA margin at 5.8% in H1, down from 6% in H1 2024; North America margin rose to 7.1%, Europe at 5.5%.
Free cash flow before interest and tax was €251m (42% conversion), or €127m after a €124m French fine; well above five-year average.
Recurring net income was €308m vs €341m in H1 2024, impacted by higher financial expense and exceptional French tax.
Net debt close to €3.1bn, with an indebtedness ratio of 2.4x, expected to decline by year-end.
Outlook and guidance
Full-year 2025 guidance confirmed: stable to slightly positive same day sales growth, adjusted EBITA margin around 6%, and ~65% free cash flow conversion (excluding the €124m fine).
North America expected to offset European weakness; further margin support from tariff-related price increases and cost actions.
Additional working days in H2 and ongoing cost initiatives to aid fixed cost absorption.

excellent app, it gives me free access to company earnings calls and annual reports. I also love the convenience of calls being available offline so I can listen in whilst doing other things and even when internet or WiFi isn't available.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
