The increase in personnel expenses excluding share-based payments is mainly due to recruitments made during the third quarter of 2024 for which personnel costs are recognized for a full period at end-September 2025 in addition to new recruitments made in the third quarter of 2025. For the portion related to the Share-based payments, the decrease is mainly due to employees that lost their rights subsequently to their exits.
