PARIS, March 4 (Reuters) - France's Dassault Aviation AM.PA said on Wednesday its operating profit rose to 635 million euros ($737.36 million) in 2025 from 519 million a year earlier lifted by a 19% net sales jump to 7.42 billion euros up from 6.23 billion.

    In a statement, the maker of Rafale warplanes and Falcon business jets predicted an increase in net sales to 8.5 billion euros in 2026 and deliveries of 28 Rafale and 40 Falcon jets.

Dassault had already reported that Rafale deliveries rose to 26 units in 2025 from 21 the year before, and Falcon deliveries rose to 37 from 31, though falling short of its target of 40. The planemaker received orders for 26 Rafale and 31 Falcon in 2025.
