French furniture group Roche Bobois SA has reported a slight rise in half-year sales, while net income fell. Total sales for the six months to June 2025 increased 0.9% to €206.2m from €204.4m in 2024.

The company described its results as "resilient performance in the first half of 2025, with results in line with H1 2024." Free cash flow improved to €25.3m, up from €13.7m, and available cash rose to €57.0m by the end of June.
Retail sales from directly operated stores recovered after a decline in June, reaching €239.0m by the end of August 2025, a 1% increase year-on-year. Total retail sales, including franchises, amounted to €378.2m, down 1.8% at current exchange rates.
Roche Bobois expects currency fluctuations to affect the second half of the year, with planned US price increases offsetting customs duties on European products. The group confirmed its full-year guidance, forecasting annual revenue stability and EBITDA that is "stable to slightly declining compared with 2024."
The update underlines the company's ability to maintain financial stability despite modest income pressures and a challenging market environment.
