market in retreat. Despite this unfavorable context, Legrand has recorded very strong results with revenue
up +2.5%, driven by organic growth of +3.7%. The Group’s financial indicators are very robust, with adjusted

net earnings per share up +15.9%.

We are actively pursuing the implementation of our growth strategy, as evidenced by the strength of our
faster expanding segments (energy efficiency solutions, connected products, and datacenters) and
continued acquisitions including today’s announcement of ZPE Systems in the United States, on top of the
3 operations announced since the beginning of the year.
Given the uncertain economic outlook, and driven by the unwavering and determined engagement of our
teams, Legrand will deploy initiatives to both seize any growth opportunities on its markets and optimize its
cost structures.”

Benoît Coquart,
