  • In the South area, the Enterprise segment continues to grow in all the countries driven by generalist activity, while the decrease in the budgets of local authorities and a late acquisition of markets tenders leading to a shift in spending had an impact on the activity of our Local authorities segment in the fourth quarter.

  • The West area is showing a growth of 2.8% in the fourth quarter, driven by all its markets in an uncertain economic context related to BREXIT.

With a financial position that remains very sound, and with the goal of sustaining its profitable growth. the Group will continue to seize development and profitability opportunities while maintaining its investments in information systems and logistics.
