Atos reports lower orders and revenue for first half of 2025
The company's order intake stood at 3.3 billion euro ($3.77 billion) for the six-month period, down from 3.6 billion euros a year earlier.
Its book-to-bill ratio, which represents the number of orders received versus those fulfilled, rose to 83 per cent from 73 per cent an year earlier. A higher ratio indicates greater likelihood of a business covering new orders.
Atos' half-year revenue fell 17.4 per cent to 4 billion euros, compared with 4.97 billion in the same period last year, reflecting low contract wins in 2024.
The group said it had streamlined its contract portfolio to limit its exposure to projects with margins below 5 per cent to just three, from seven at the end of 2024.
This improved the negative impact on its operating margin to 16 million euros, from 52 million in the same period last year, it said.
On June 2, the French state formally offered 410 million euros to acquire Atos' Advanced Computing division, which includes its high-performance and quantum computing and AI technologies.
Atos said on Friday it expected to close the deal over the first half of 2026.
It also confirmed its guidance for the full year 2025.

Eutelsat beats earnings estimates on Ukraine boost, government demand
French satellite operator Eutelsat reported better-than-expected annual earnings on Tuesday, driven by growing interest in its satellite internet services from government and corporate customers. Eutelsat gained the spotlight this year as European governments sought home-grown solutions for satellite services, aiming to reduce their reliance on U.S. providers. Revenues from video, connectivity and government services reached 1.23 billion euros ($1.43 billion) in the year ended June 30, up 0.8 per cent from a year earlier. Financial analysts had expected those revenues to total 1.21 billion euros, according to a consensus poll provided by Eutelsat. The Paris-based group hopes to offset declining income from its video business by gaining a foothold in the satellite internet market, where SpaceX's Starlink dominates. Eutelsat said revenues from its low Earth orbit (LEO) satellites rose 84.1 per cent yearly to 187 million euros. Higher revenues for government services reflected services delivered in Ukraine and increased demand from other non-U.S. governments, the company said. The German government has been paying for Ukraine's access to Eutelsat's network for about a year. Eutelsat expects LEO revenues to grow by 50 per cent next year, saying it will compensate, but not yet outweigh the decline in its legacy business, which are impacted by additional Russian sanctions. However, the operator said it took a 1.1 billion euro loss through the year, partly due to impairments from its geostationary (GEO) assets. In addition to its 34 GEO satellites - mostly used for broadcasting and fixed satellite internet - Eutelsat owns a constellation of over 600 in low Earth orbit, managed by its London-based subsidiary OneWeb, which was acquired in 2023. The company is undergoing a radical shake-up following the appointment of a new CEO and a chairman as well as new injections of capital led by the French state alongside Britain and other anchor shareholders for 1.5 billion euros.

Infineon slightly raises outlook for profitability after strong Q3
BERLIN :German chipmaker Infineon slightly raised its full-year guidance for its segment result margin on Tuesday after its quarterly figure beat forecasts despite ongoing tariff uncertainties and a weaker dollar. Infineon reported a segment result margin - management's preferred measure of operating profitability - of 18 per cent for its fiscal third quarter from April to June, beating the forecast for 15.8 per cent. Infineon slightly raised its full-year guidance to high-teens percentage gain in its segment result, which is adjusted for special items, up from the mid-teens range it previously projected. Shares were down 1.9 per cent in pre-market indications after the results were published. Quarterly revenue of 3.70 billion euros ($4.27 billion) was in line with forecasts, up 3 per cent compared with the previous quarter, and would have grown as much as 9 per cent had the U.S. dollar exchange rate remained unchanged. Infineon is well-placed to take advantage of growing semiconductor demand for cars and power supply for AI data centres, among other fields, said CEO Jochen Hanebeck. "Inventory corrections in our target markets have progressed a lot," he said. "However, we and our customers are continuing to navigate our way through an uncertain macroeconomic and geopolitical situation." At the same time, investments for the fiscal year will now total around 2.2 billion euros, it said, down slightly from 2.3 billion euros previously.
