3 Analysis of revenues by segment B2C – sales of cars to private customers (88% of revenues) B2C segment revenue s – corresponding to the sale of refurbished and pre -registered cars to private customers – amounted to €511.7 million in Q1 2025, an increase of +11.2% compared to Q1 2024. Aramis Group sold 28,879 B2C vehicles during the period, representing growth of +9. 2% year -on-year and outperforming the market for used cars under 8 years old, the Group’s core target, by 12 points 4. The average unit selling price remained nearly stable during the period, reflecting the normalization of pricing conditions in the market after several quarters of a downward trend. Refurbished car segment revenues reached €385.5 million, up +7.0% compared to Q1 2024. A total of 22,440 vehicles were delivered, a growth of +7.8%, despite an unfavourable calendar effect in 2025 compared to 2024, exceptional circumstances in Spain, and the extraordinary dynamism of pre-registered cars in Belgium, which locally impacted the performance of refurbished vehicles. Pre-registered car segment revenues amounted to €126.2 million, an increase of +26.6% compared to Q1 2024. A total of 6,439 vehicles were delivered, up +14.5% from the same period last year, which had already seen a strong rebound in volumes. B2B – sales of cars to professional customers (7% of revenues) The B2B segment revenues amounted to €37.7 million, a slight decrease of -3.6% compared to Q1 2024. The sourcing mix for vehicles to be refurbished was slightly more weighted toward professional channels than a year ago, with approximately one -third of vehicles purchased from pri vate individuals and two - thirds from professionals. As a reminder, B2B revenues are generated by the fact that a portion of Aramis Group's sourcing of vehicles to be refurbished from private individuals is resold directly to professionals (primarily vehicles over 8 years old or with more than 150,000 km) rather than to new private customers. Services (5% of revenues) Revenues generated by services reached €28.7 million, an increase of +6.7% compared to Q1 2024. The penetration rate of financing solutions remained broadly stable at 44%. 4 On average across the 6 geographies of the Group, source S&P Global and Aramis Group

4 Analysis of revenues by country All Aramis Group countries saw an increase in volumes in Q1 2025. In France, total volumes grew by +8%, once again demonstrating the competitiveness and relevance of Aramis Group’s refurbished vehicle offering in an overall stagnant used car market. In the United Kingdom, Aramis Group teams have once more proven their agility, delivering a +12% increase in volumes despite operating in a market marked by persistent volatility and challenges, which saw a sharp decline compared to the same period in 2024. In Spain, volumes saw a slight increase despite exceptional circumstances caused by flooding in the Valencia region, the country’s third -largest city. This event temporarily paralyzed the Group’s second - largest sales site, after Madrid, in terms of size and commer cial performance. The site is gradually resuming operations and is expected to contribute to volume growth in the coming quarters. In Belgium, total volumes grew by +28%. This performance was driven by a strong acceleration in pre - registered vehicle sales, up +81% compared to Q1 2024, as the country capitalized on significant sourcing opportunities. Conversely, due to substitution effects betwe en pre -registered vehicles and the most recent refurbished vehicles, refurbished vehicle sales declined by -3% over the period, impacting the Group’s consolidated growth. In Austria, volumes grew by +3%, reflecting an unfavourable base effect after a strong growth year in 2024, largely driven by exceptional sourcing opportunities. The new management team has now fully taken over from the historical founder, who, as planned, left the Group in January 2025. Finally, in Italy, volumes sold to private customers increased by +5% during the period, while total volumes sold by the entity grew by +37% when including intra -group deliveries. In recent months, the Italian entity has played a key role in supplying the Group’s internal marketplace, a platform dedicated to sharing specific vehicles in stock and enabling international arbitrage that generates incremental margins. At the same time, Italy continued its operational optimization efforts, further reducing its cost structure to enhance efficiency.
