* At constant currency

CIS reported revenue for the 2020 first half of €130.2 million, up 10.4% at constant currency. On a reported basis, Group revenue grew 4.8%.

After an excellent performance in Q1 (+24.2% excluding exchange-rate effects), business momentum was temporarily impacted by the adverse effects of Covid-19. In response, revenue in Q2 contracted 1.4% at constant currency (-9.6% on a reported basis). This limited decline reflects the Group's underlying strength over the period. More specifically, the impact of Covid-19 was offset by increasing contributions from a number of contracts, the achievement of commercial successes, the integration of the Brazilian companies, Alternative and Beta and the addition of new countries of operation.

Press release

Outlook:

Beyond the resilience of business during this unprecedented health crisis, the Group displayed strong commercial momentum with the signature of a number of new long-term contracts in Africa and Eurasia. In addition, nearly all CIS' contracts were renewed in the period.

Despite limited visibility over the duration of the crisis, the Group is expecting marginal growth for the full year (excluding exchange-rate effects).

Finally, based on the numerous consultations in the pipeline, including some expected to represent sizable amounts, the Group confirms its confidence in the outlook for strong growth starting in 2021.
