EVS reports first half 2026 results

Markets, customers & technology

From a geographical standpoint, despite the ongoing challenges in the Middle East, revenue continued to grow across EMEA. Both revenue and order intake increased in LATAM, demonstrating the relevance of EVS' expanding portfolio in the region.

The Live Audience Business (LAB) revenues have grown in 1H26 in line with our PLAYForward strategy. The LAB Order Intake remains stable versus 1H25.

Revenue and order intake generated through EVS channel partners continued to increase, particularly within the Live Audience Business. New channel partners initially engaged through T-Motion are now broadening their collaboration with EVS, illustrating the effectiveness of the Group's ecosystem approach. Interest from the channel community remains strong, as reflected by record attendance at the NAB Channel Partner event.

EVS' involvement in major 2026 events further highlights the strategic relevance of its live production solutions. By supporting complex international sports events, including winter competitions in Italy and a large tournament in North America, EVS once again proved its ability to deliver mission-critical technology and services in high-pressure environments. This reinforces customer confidence, strengthens long-term relationships with major accounts and confirms EVS' differentiated position in premium live event production. During the winter sports event in Italy, T-Motion solutions (Media Production Robotics solutions based on 2025 acquisitions) enabled the capture of premium and immersive camera angles, further showcasing EVS' ability to enhance storytelling and deliver high-value content in demanding live production environments.

During the summer tournament, VIA MAP acted as the digital backbone connecting venues, the International Broadcast Centre and rightsholders, illustrating the growing importance of EVS software solutions within large-scale production infrastructures. It was also used by a major US broadcaster, illustrating EVS' ability to create value beyond its traditional live production market.

As media companies increasingly require efficient content production for digital and social platforms, VIA MAP enables a single team to create, adapt and distribute content across multiple channels and screen formats. This use case validates MediaCeption's expansion into adjacent digital publishing workflows and highlights a significant opportunity to expand EVS' total addressable market.

EVS is increasingly capitalizing on the breadth of its portfolio through integrated workflows spanning its technology platforms. During the period, advancements in digital publishing, AI-enabled content production, infrastructure control and robotics further enhanced the value proposition of the EVS ecosystem. As customers deploy multiple EVS solutions within the same environment, the company benefits from deeper customer relationships, greater wallet share and additional opportunities for software and services revenue.

At IBC in September, EVS will showcase further progress in its ecosystem strategy, including continued software innovation and increasing interoperability across its portfolio.
