Guidance confirmed for 2025
ADJUSTED EBITDA1: EUR64 MILLION (EUR22 MILLION in H1 2024) ADJUSTED EBITA2: EUR33 MILLION (loss of -EUR12 MILLION in H1 2024) POSITIVE FREE CASH FLOW3: EUR91 MILLION (EUR22 MILLION in H1 2024) (H1 2024 figures have been restated for SCS divestment)
Paris, France – July 31, 2025 – Vantiva (Euronext Paris: VANTI), a global technology leader in connectivity, announces its financial results for the first half of the year.
The condensed interim consolidated financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on July 30, 2025. The limited review procedures have been performed, and the statutory auditors' report on the interim financial information is in the process of being issued.
Key Financial Highlights:
Revenue rose 8.0% over the half-year to EUR861 million (9.4% at constant exchange rates) driven by broadband business.
Adjusted EBITDA almost tripled to EUR64 million for the half-year, compared with EUR22 million in H1 2024.
Adjusted EBITA was positive at EUR33 million, compared with a loss of -EUR12 million in the first half of 2024.
Net income from continuing operations was -EUR81 million, compared with -EUR143 million in H1 2024.
The Group's net income was a loss of -EUR295 million, compared to a loss of -EUR167 million as of June 30, 2024. This result is explained by the -EUR214 million loss from discontinued operations, primarily related to the reclassification of foreign exchange translations following the divestment of Supply Chain Solutions (SCS).
Free cash flow, after interest, taxes, and restructuring costs, was positive at EUR91 million, compared with EUR22 million in the first half of 2024. The improvement was mainly driven by the increase in EBITDA and favorable working capital developments. The working capital is expected to be less supportive in the second half.
As of June 30th, 2025, Vantiva held EUR35 million in cash and cash equivalents and an undrawn EUR69 million of a EUR80 million facility.
Total nominal net debt (including leases) amounted to EUR435 million as of June 30, 2025, compared to EUR478 million as of December 31, 2024.
Tim O'Loughlin, Chief Executive Officer of Vantiva, said:
“Our results for the first half of 2025 confirm the successful integration of CommScope's CPE business and the success of our broader business transformation plan. Broadband has shown some improvement though conditions remain mixed and competitive. We continue to put our customers at the center of everything we do while managing costs and resources. With the new organization in place and benefits from synergies coming through, we're positioned to move forward.”

Group revenue rose by 8.0% to EUR861 million.
Broadband revenue increased by nearly 30%, while Video and Diversification activities declined by approximately 20% due to lower demand.
Adjusted EBITDA increased by EUR42 million to EUR64 million, up from EUR22 million in the first half of 2024. As a percentage, the Adjusted EBITDA reached 7.4% of revenue, compared with 2.8% a year earlier. This improvement reflects gains on operating expenses following the successful integration of CommScope's CPE business and more general restructuring.
Free cash flow after financial expenses, taxes and restructuring costs was positive at EUR91 million, compared with EUR22 million in the first half of 2024. This increase is due to the rise in EBITDA, lower financial expenses and taxes paid, and a positive change in working capital requirements, which is expected to reverse in the second half.
Outlook
The positive results for the first half support our full-year targets. The company has been insulated from any significant, direct tariff impacts thus far, and the outlook currently reflects an assumption that our relatively favorable tariff position will continue.

Adjusted EBITDA amounted to EUR64 million, compared with EUR22 million in the first half of 2024. The nearly five-point increase in the margin is due to the rationalization of structures carried out in the second half of 2024 and continued in the first half of 2025.
