It also expects capital expenditure of around 9 per cent of 2026 revenue, driven by production-capacity expansion in Europe and the United States.First-half earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) rose 18.3 per cent to 83.6 million euros.The company said demand for advanced imaging systems used in autonomous defence platforms was accelerating and that the capacity expansion would strengthen its position in one of the fastest-growing defence markets.Show MoreShow Less"This expansion reinforces our ability to support accelerating customer demand with scalable industrial capabilities, while strengthening our position as a trusted, ITAR-free strategic partner for leading defense OEMs and autonomous systems developers," CEO Jerome Cerisier said in a press release.($1 = 0.8795 euros)Source: ReutersNewsletterWeek in ReviewSubscribe to our Chief Editor’s Week in ReviewOur chief editor shares analysis and picks of the week's biggest news every Saturday.Sign up for our newslettersGet our pick of top stories and thought-provoking articles in your inboxSubscribe hereGet the CNA appStay updated with notifications for breaking news and our best storiesDownload hereGet WhatsApp alertsJoin our channel for the top reads for the day on your preferred chat appJoin hereAlso worth readingContent is loading...Expand to read the full storyGet bite-sized news via a newcards interface.
