In the second quarter of 2021, Bilendi recorded revenues of €10.3 million, an exceptionally strong increase of +43.9% (+42.6% organically(1) and at constant exchange rates), thus recording a fourth consecutive quarter of double-digit growth.

All geographical areas have delivered a strong increase in their activity:

  • France (23% of total revenue): posted a further sustained increase in revenue of +38.9% in the second quarter of 2021, confirming the growth trajectory recorded since the second half of 2020;
  • International (77% of total revenue): activity continues to accelerate with a revenue increase of +45.5% in the second quarter of 2021.

Despite the lockdown measures that continue in several countries, the trend in Europe of a sustained recovery observed in the 1st quarter, is confirmed this quarter with all 12 of Bilendi's European offices showing growth rates of more than +30% over the period.

Over the 1st half of the year, Bilendi recorded consolidated revenues of €19.2 million, an increase of +27.0% (+26.3% organically and at constant exchange(1) rates). In an increasingly technological and complex environment, this excellent performance demonstrates the consistency and sustainability of Bilendi's model based on technology and data, to enable partners to have the best tools at their disposal to measure and to take the most informed decisions.

This exceptional performance must be analysed in the context of the results for the 1st half of 2020 which had been relatively unaffected by the Covid health crisis (-2%). Compared to the 1st half of 2019, the growth in the 1st half of 2021 amounts to +24.4%.
