Aurélien Sonet, Chief Executive Officer of Pluxee, commented:
"In the third quarter, Pluxee continued to execute with operational and financial discipline in a demanding environment, marked by regulatory developments in Brazil and less favorable macroeconomic conditions, especially in Continental Europe.
Amid persistent cost-of-living pressures and as artificial intelligence reshapes the world of work, our clients continue to confirm that employee engagement and talent retention have never been more critical. Our solid commercial performance reflects our ability to support them in addressing evolving workplace priorities, and confirms the relevance of Pluxee’s value proposition.
In Brazil, our teams remain fully mobilized in delivering our action plan. The required operational framework is now in place, providing a strong foundation on which we will continue to build and innovate. In parallel, we are progressively rolling out efficiency levers and maintaining constructive engagement with all stakeholders.
I would like to warmly thank all Pluxee teams for their continued commitment, agility and strong focus on our clients. Their dedication has been instrumental in the performance delivered over the first nine months and reinforces our confidence in achieving all our financial objectives, while continuing on our path toward profitable long-term growth".

Confirmed outlook for Fiscal 2026
Based on the first nine-month performance, in line with expectations in a demanding environment, and supported by the Group’s solid fundamentals, operational efficiency and disciplined execution, the Group confirms its financial objectives2:
• stable Total Revenues on an organic basis in Fiscal 2026;
• slight organic expansion in Recurring EBITDA margin in Fiscal 2026; and
• around 80% Recurring cash conversion on average over Fiscal 2024–2026.
Beyond Fiscal 2026, the announced measures and implementation timeline in Brazil, if fully confirmed, would still impact the Group's financials in First Half Fiscal 2027, with Pluxee anticipating a return to a sustainable, profitable growth trajectory from the Second Half Fiscal 2027 onwards.
