Business driven growth in the first three quarters

SII group revenue in France was €258.43m in the first three quarters of the fiscal year (+4.3%). Final quarter business produced revenue totaling €89.23m (-0.7% on Q3 2018-2019). The business environment for the sector in France, combined by one less billing day than in the previous period, impacted business but did not compromise the Group's global prospects.

2019-2020). Business over the quarter rose 14.8% year on year to €84.32m thanks to strong business in: Poland (+24.4%), Romania (+30.6%), Chile (+35.0%), Canada (+39.9%), Morocco (+19.7%) and Colombia (+14.7%). Germany stabilized over the quarter (+1%) but there was a decline in Spain (-4.8%), the Netherlands (-7.5%), Czech Republic (-13.9%) and Belgium (-19.5%).

Considering the business and financial performance of the first nine months, the SII Group specifies its objectives for 2019-2020:

  • A revenue of between €685 million and €695 million, representing 8.5 to 10% growth;
