Strategic plan fully on track
Data center roadmap unveiled, leveraging Legrand’s unique positioning and portfolio
2030 sales and profitability ambitions upgraded driven by energy & digital transition

Legrand is hosting a Capital Markets Day in Singapore alongside Data Centre World Asia on September 29, 2026, webcast live.
The event includes a complete presentation of Legrand’s roadmap and upgraded 2030 ambitions, with a specific focus on its data center strategy and technology offering.

I. Legrand’s strategic roadmap
Benoît Coquart, Chief Executive Officer, will present how Legrand has exceeded the commitments presented at its 2024 Capital Markets Day in terms of growth and profitability, as well as Legrand’s global strategic roadmap through 2030, designed around three focus areas: data centers (32% of sales¹), energy transition - the second growth pillar of the Group directly tied to electrification - (22% of sales¹) and essential infrastructures for buildings (46% of sales²).
This roadmap is built around a large addressable market, strong leadership positions and favorable megatrends - including digitalization and the rapid expansion of AI-driven data centers, electrification and structural needs in buildings - while leveraging the Group’s unique growth engines: innovation, customer experience, pricing, and disciplined acquisitions.

II. Data center strategy and roadmap
Legrand has substantially strengthened its data center position, which will reach more than €3 billion of sales in 2026, supported by strong organic growth, targeted acquisitions and one of the industry’s most comprehensive offerings, covering³ critical power (35% of sales), physical compute infrastructure (25%), compute infrastructure monitoring, management and control (25%), advanced cooling (5%) and testing and lifecycle services (10%).

The presentations will highlight the structural transformation of the data center market, driven by AI workloads, rising rack densities, accelerated time to operations, new power architectures, and will show how Legrand’s open architecture philosophy, integration expertise, specialist solutions and global delivery scale address customers’ most critical needs.
Legrand will in particular unveil its vision for the transition toward Low Voltage Direct Current (LVDC) architectures, and its comprehensive roadmap designed to enable the next generation of AI data centers at gigawatt scale.

The agenda will include:

• a data center strategy presentation by Brian DiBella, President and Chief Executive Officer of Legrand North & Central America, focused on market trends, customer needs and Legrand’s growth opportunities,
• a technology keynote by Blandine Antoine, Executive Vice President Products and Technology, and Rebecca Gilstrap, Data Center Strategy and Products Senior Director, showcasing Legrand’s differentiated solutions from chip to grid, and unveiling numerous new benchmark offerings to be launched in the coming quarters,
• a Malaysia business case by Achraf Hegazy, Chief Executive Officer of Malaysia and Jason Lim, Co-Managing Director of Linkk Busway Systems, illustrating Legrand’s ability to build a strong regional data center platform in a very fast-growing geography, combining local manufacturing, engineering expertise, project execution and recent acquisitions.

III. Upgraded 2030 ambitions⁴
Franck Lemery, Chief Financial Officer, will then detail Legrand’s upgraded 2030 ambitions, comprising, over 2027-2030:

• Organic sales growth with a CAGR of +6% to +8% complemented by a yearly scope effect from acquisitions of around +5% on average, and divestments over the period representing €0.5 billion to €1.0 billion of sales,
• Adjusted operating margin of 21% to 22% of sales on average, after acquisitions and including restructuring expenses,
• Free cash flow of 13% to 15% of sales on average, with cash conversion above 100%, on average,
• Capital allocation will remain disciplined, with around 60% of free cash flow dedicated to acquisitions on average, an attractive dividend policy of around 50% net income payout, and selective share buybacks. The Group will target a leverage ratio of 1.5x to 2.5x net debt to EBITDA, consistent with its value-creating growth strategy and financial discipline.

Legrand delivers a strong first-half performance, with another period of record sales growth of +17% excluding currency effects and continued excellent profitability

Organic sales growth: +9.8%
Growth through acquisitions: +6.9%
Adjusted operating margin after acquisitions: 20.8%
Net profit attributable to the Group: +11.2%

7 acquisitions, all in buoyant energy and digital transition markets since the beginning of the year

2026 full-year targets revised upward

Benoît Coquart, Legrand’s Chief Executive Officer, commented:
“In the first half of 2026, Legrand delivered record sales growth of +17% excluding currency effects, driven by datacenters, energy transition-related offerings and acquisitions. Financial performance remained outstanding, reflecting both the quality of our market positions and the execution capabilities of our teams in a fast-changing geopolitical and economic environment.

We are continuing to implement our strategic roadmap with determination, supported by a steady stream of new product launches and the completion of seven acquisitions since the beginning of the year, including one announced today. These acquisitions are all highly value-creating and focused on the fast-growing energy and digital transition markets —datacenters, the energy transition and digital lifestyles— which already accounted for 53% of Group sales at the end of 2025.

Confident in our action plans, and in light of our strong first-half performance, we are raising our full-year 2026 targets.

Lastly, our next Capital Markets Day will take place in Singapore on September 29, 2026, alongside Data Centre World Asia. The event will provide an opportunity to review progress toward our 2030 ambitions and set out our solutions and strategic roadmap for datacenters in greater detail.”
