Barco
Barco NV is a Belgian public limited company (naamloze vennootschap) registered with the Crossroads Bank for Enterprises (KBO/BCE) under number 0473191041, with its registered office in Kortrijk (postal code 8500), Belgium. The company was recorded in the Belgian company register on 10 November 2000, and its current registry status is active.
Barco NV develops visualization, collaboration and networking technology for three markets: entertainment, enterprise and healthcare. In entertainment, the company supplies digital cinema and large-venue projection systems used by theatre operators and live-event producers. In the enterprise segment, it provides display, videowall and meeting-room collaboration systems for control rooms and corporate meeting spaces. In healthcare, it supplies diagnostic imaging and surgical displays used in radiology and operating-room settings. Barco NV’s ordinary shares are listed on Euronext Brussels under ticker BAR (ISIN BE0003790079), and the company is a constituent of the BEL 20 index.
For the financial year ended 31 December 2025, Barco reported consolidated revenue of €963.8 million, up 1.8% on the prior year, and net income of €71.6 million, up 14%. For the six months ended 30 June 2026, the company reported sales of €418 million, down 8% year-on-year (3% at constant currency), with declines across all three divisions: entertainment (€199.5 million, -5%), enterprise (€97.9 million, -9%) and healthcare (€120.7 million, -12%). The company recorded a net loss of €4.8 million for that half-year period, compared with a €23.3 million profit in the same period of 2025, partly reflecting €8.4 million of restructuring costs linked to the closure of a research-and-development facility in Norway and other organisational changes. By region, order intake in the Americas grew despite an 11% decline in reported first-half sales, EMEA orders fell 14%, and Asia-Pacific showed a recovery in the second quarter of 2026 compared with the first.
In March 2026, Barco announced an agreement to acquire VerVent Audio Holding, owner of the premium audio brands Focal and Naim, in a transaction with an enterprise value of approximately €135 million; VerVent, which reports annual revenue of around €110 million, was consolidated into Barco’s results from the closing of the transaction in May 2026, contributing two months of trading to the first-half 2026 figures. The acquisition extended Barco’s activities into integrated audiovisual and premium audio solutions.

Shareholders
5
Zavia’s supplied shareholder data, verified 4 September 2026, discloses five shareholder positions in Barco NV’s ordinary share capital, together representing all issued shares. The largest disclosed holding is a free-float bucket of retail and below-threshold investors (“Publiek”), representing 54.50% of the shares (50,635,578 shares). Vandewiele group NV is the largest identified individual shareholder, with 25.25% (23,465,294 shares); a Belgian transparency filing previously reported Vandewiele group nv’s stake at 25.18% (23,398,773 shares) as of November 2024, so the current figure reflects a modest further increase since that filing. Barco NV itself holds 11.57% of its own shares (10,752,773 shares) in treasury, a figure consistent in scale with the approximately 10.8 million treasury shares Barco reported under its share buy-back programme in January 2026. 3D NV holds 5.67% (5,267,891 shares), and BNP Paribas Asset Management Europe SAS holds 3.01% (2,795,109 shares); BNP Paribas Asset Management notified a downward crossing of a disclosure threshold in its Barco holding in February 2026, consistent with a stake in the low single digits.
The disclosed percentages appear to be calculated against Barco’s total issued share capital of approximately 92.9 million shares. Barco’s own investor relations disclosure separately reports approximately 81.4 million shares outstanding as of 31 August 2026, a figure broadly consistent with total issued shares net of Barco’s own treasury holding. All five disclosed positions are dated 4 September 2026.
### Data availability
Availability is classified as Major shareholders only: named positions are disclosed above the applicable Belgian transparency-notification threshold, together with an aggregate figure for the remaining free float, rather than a complete register of every individual shareholder. No individual or entity is disclosed at or above a 25% ultimate-beneficial-ownership threshold on a calculable, single-person basis, so no confirmed ultimate beneficial owner is identified in the available data.
