A very nice year-end

Groupe CRIT (FR0000036675 - CEN), a major player in temporary work and airport services in France and abroad, announces its revenue for the fourth quarter of the 2022 financial year (October 1 - December 31).

Revenues (M€) (1)	2022	2021	Variation	Constant scope and
exchange rates
1st quarter	523.6	437.4	19.7%	18.5%
2nd quarter	595.1	506.7	17.4%	15.8%
3rd quarter	615.2	534.0	15.2%	13.2%
4th quarter	602.6	554.4	8.7%	7.5%
TOTAL	2 336.5	2 032.5	15.0%	13.4%

The Group's consolidated revenue for the fourth quarter of 2022 amounted to € 602.6 million (1) up by 8.7% compared to the same period of 2021. At constant scope and exchange rates, growth amounted to +7.5%.

In France, the continuous improvement in activity is confirmed with quarterly turnover of € 462.5 million, up by 9.9%. International activities (23.2% of total activity) confirmed this solid performance with revenue up 4.9% over the quarter.

Cumulatively over the financial year, turnover shows an increase of 15% to € 2 336.5 million, driven by all of the Group's activities and geographical areas.

Temporary work: +5% (+6% organic TDA)

In Temporary work (81.7% of total activity), turnover for the fourth quarter came to € 492.3 million (2) up by 5% (+6% organic TDA). This new quarterly increase reflects the quality of the Group's fundamentals in a market where supply continues to be marked by a shortage of talent and demand impacted by the effects of inflation, rising interest rates and geopolitical tensions.

France : +6.6% (+8.2% organic TDA)

In France (76.0% of the division's activity), turnover for the quarter reached € 374.4 million in organic TDA growth of 8.2%. Service activities were driven by logistics, hotels and restaurants, as well as events and airport activities, while industry was supported by agri-food, aeronautics and a recovery in the automotive industry.

International : +0.2% (-0.4% organic TDA)

Internationally (24.0% of the division's activity), turnover for the quarter amounted to € 117.9 million, up by 0.2% (-0.4% organic TDA). In the United States, characterized by a dynamic recruitment market, activity posted an increase of 3.7% (+0.5% organic TDA). In Spain, the implementation of the legislative reform initiated by the government at the beginning of 2022 continues to be felt with activity, for the Group, down 9.1% (organic TDA) over the whole quarter. However, this remains higher than the level reached over the same period in 2019, i.e. before the pandemic.

Multiservices : +27,3%

The Multiservices Division (19.5% of activity for the period) posted quarterly revenue of € 117.6 million (2) up by 27.3% (+27.5% at constant scope and exchange rates) compared to the fourth quarter of 2021.

Airport activities (75.7% of the division's total revenue) are progressing remarkably, driven by the return of traffic to historical trends. Thus, the turnover for the quarter amounts to € 89 million against € 68 million in 2021, up by 31.2% at constant scope and exchange rates.

Driven by currently favorable dynamics across all of its businesses, the Group is confident about its business outlook. The recently announced acquisition of OK JOB in Switzerland, fully integrated as of 01/01/2023, will enable it to establish itself in specialized markets such as the watchmaking and medical industries. This operation illustrates the Group's desire to develop on the European market.
