2019: sustained acceleration in sales growth quarter after quarter

As announced at the start of the fiscal year, 2019 marked a return to organic growth. After a stable first quarter, CIS showed continuously accelerating growth rates (at CC) with growth in sales of 15.7% in Q2 and 25.6% in Q3. This accelerating momentum continued in the last quarter with a particularly strong increase of 29.3% to reach €71.5 million.

For the full year of 2019, the Group had a revenue of €265.7 million compared to €224.2 million in 2018, up 18.5% on a reported basis. Excluding the acquisitions of Alternativa and Beta and at constant exchange rates, revenue grew 11.5%. Since their consolidation in May 2019, Alternativa and Beta contributed €12.8 million in consolidated revenue to the Group. For 2019, Group revenue benefited from a positive currency effect of €3.0 million.

This excellent organic growth was driven by increasing contributions from existing contracts combined with commercial successes achieved since the beginning of the year, which enabled the Group to generate additional revenue of €56.0 million over the full year. In addition to sustained business momentum in the historic countries of operation, newly-entered markets contributed €2.9 million to the Group's turnover.

Based on this positive momentum, CIS is confident in its outlook for robust growth in 2020.
