About Exclusive Networks

Exclusive Networks is a global cybersecurity specialist listed on Euronext Paris under the ticker EXN and ISIN FR0014005DA7. Founded in Paris in 2003, the company has evolved from a value-added distributor into an international go-to-market platform for cybersecurity technologies. It now operates across more than 170 countries through offices in more than 50 countries on five continents, with headquarters in Boulogne-Billancourt, France. Its business model is built around the distribution of cybersecurity solutions with strong technical and services capabilities. Exclusive Networks sits at the center of the cybersecurity ecosystem, bridging the gap between technology vendors and a broad base of resellers, integrators, and enterprise customers. The company curates a portfolio that spans established market leaders, scale-up vendors, and emerging startups, while adding high-value services such as pre-sales support, technical consulting, managed services, global logistics, and support for complex multi-country deployments. This services-led approach is a key differentiator in a market where specialization, speed, and implementation quality matter greatly. In terms of competitive position, Exclusive Networks describes itself as a “global cybersecurity specialist” and a central player in the channel. The group says it works with more than 210 cybersecurity solution vendors and over 20,000 reseller partners, underlining the scale of its distribution network. Geographically, the business has a strong footprint across EMEA, APAC, and North America, supported by logistics capabilities that can service customers in more than 150 countries. This global reach, combined with local execution, helps the company attract vendors looking for faster market access and partners seeking a simplified route to a broad cybersecurity portfolio. Financially, the company has delivered sustained growth in recent years. Exclusive Networks reported gross sales of €5.145 billion for full-year 2023, up 14% on a reported basis, and it continued to expand in the first quarter of 2024. Management also highlighted the growing importance of Cloud and Software, which represented about 50% of the mix in Q1 2024. During 2024, the group also advanced its acquisition strategy, including the purchase of NEXTGEN in Australia and New Zealand, strengthening its APAC platform. A notable milestone in the company’s history was its listing on Euronext Paris in September 2021, backed by Permira. The IPO increased the company’s visibility among European investors at a time when cybersecurity demand is being driven by structural themes such as digital transformation, rising threat complexity, and the need to protect critical infrastructure and data assets.
