(1) Wholeco leverage: leverage used in the context of the amendment and extension of the syndicated loan announced on 17 February 2025. Wholeco leverage is calculated using the following formula: Net financial debt excluding IFRS 16 and IAS 17, net of the Ages & Vie current account, divided by consolidated EBITDA restated for the impacts of IFRS 16 and IAS 17 and restated for certain non-cash items and the full-year impact of outstanding share-based payment plans
(2) EBITDA Opco is defined as follows: EBITDA (1) post-capitalized rents in accordance with IFRS 16 (including rents already capitalized before the application of IFRS 16, under IAS 17) and (2) adjusted for the impacts of the Group's real estate holdings. These impacts are primarily the market rents associated with the real estate assets held, as defined in the Cushman & Wakefield report on the valuation of the Group's real estate portfolio, as well as the operating costs associated with real estate ownership (calculated based on the op-erating costs of the Group's real estate companies) 
* per current definition & balance sheet structure

With organic growth of +4.9%, the first quarter of 2026 is fully in line with the momentum observed since the second half of 2025 across our various business segments and geographical regions.
Looking at our Long-Term care activities, the occupancy rate of our care homes continues to rise, reaching 91.7% in the first quarter of 2026, an increase of 1.3 percentage points compared with the same period in 2025. Our Specialty Care activities, that had been particularly affected by the conditions under which the SMR reform came into force in France, are regaining positive price/volume momentum, thanks to the adaptation measures we implemented in the second semester of 2025 and the expansion of outpatient services across all regions.

In terms of financial strategy, last February we received two inaugural ratings from S&P and Moody’s, that enabled us to carry out a first high yield and unsecured bond issue worth €500 million, on very favourable terms given the international context. The success of this inaugural issue, maturing in 2031, resulted in a subscription rate of nearly five times the amount offered from leading investors. On this basis, and bolstered by the commitment of our teams, whom I would like to thank once again, we confirm all our operational and financial objective.
