The Group posted sales of 550 ME in the second quarter, up 38.1%. This brings first-half sales to 1,028 ME, up 43.8% on 2022.

Over the first half, the Boat division posted sales of 813 ME, up 48.3% on 2022.

Motorboat sales, which accounted for 56% of total yacht sales for the half-year, rose by 45%. Sailboat sales accounted for 44% of total yacht sales for the half-year. Sales in the Sailing segment rose by 55% over the half-year.

The Group thus confirms its sales forecast for its Boat division, which should reach €1,450 million for the full year, an increase of 16%.

Excluding the planned disposal of the Habitat division, the Group's consolidated sales are thus expected to exceed 1,750ME (+16% vs. 2022 on a reported basis), while operating income before non-recurring items is now forecast to exceed 200ME (vs. 190ME previously).
