Stanislas de Gramont, Chief Executive Officer of Groupe SEB

This 1st quarter is a positive sign following a difficult year in 2025. Against an uncertain and deteriorated macroeconomic and geopolitical backdrop, the Group posted moderate organic revenue growth and its Operating Result from Activity returned to growth. 
Sales momentum was balanced across our activities and regions, driven by the success of our innovations and a reimagined digital activation strategy, being rolled out gradually. 

The implementation of the Rebound plan is progressing in line with the announced schedule, with operational initiatives underway on accelerating innovation, transforming digital marketing and reducing costs.

In a still demanding environment, supported by the commitment of our teams, we remain fully focused on our 2026 priorities: growing ORfA, normalizing free cash flow generation, and reducing the Group’s financial leverage, while implementing our Rebound plan with consistency and agility.
