BENETEAU Confirms Growth Outlook Despite Geopolitical Challenges

Groupe Beneteau reported revenues of €596 million for the first nine months of 2026, marking a 4.7% increase at constant currency. Despite this rise, Q3 revenue fell by 14.1% due to geopolitical uncertainties impacting order volumes. However, the company remains optimistic about achieving a 4% to 9% growth in annual revenue, excluding discontinued American operations, thanks to successful new model launches.

The Sailing segment saw a 7.3% revenue increase, boosted by monohull sales, while the Motor segment experienced a slight decline, offset by a recovery in the Dayboating market and stable retail sales in Motor Yachting. The European and North & Central American markets showed notable growth, despite challenges in other regions.

Groupe Beneteau also renewed a €250 million syndicated credit line, indicating strong banking support. The group is focused on structuring its decarbonization strategy to align with climate goals. Full-year revenue projections remain positive, with expected growth from €860m to €900m.
