Despite good performance in the Benelux and in Switzerland, the Group's international revenue declined due to in the United States for the deployment of the Mi-Case project.

On a current scope and structure, the decrese in overall international revenue results also from the sale of the MS and ERP activities in the United States in 2016, as well as in the reclassification of the UK subsidiary as a discontinued operation. This subsidiary was sold during the first half of 2017.

Jean-Louis Didier, Chairman & CEO of Business & Decision, comments: 'The third quarter of 2017 is marked by the growth of already successful areas of activity. However, local difficulties,particularly in the United States, had a significant impact on the overall growth of the group. Specific actions have been deployed to remedy this.'
