Turnover for this quarter stands at €64.3 million.

Taking into account the number of working days in Q1 2013, 3.1% fewer than in 2012, this turnover reflects a return to positive progress for the business, as predicted in recent press announcements.

The new ESN (Digital Services) category, to which GROUPE OPEN now belongs, casts the spotlight more clearly on the company's expertise as a provider of digital services, as Open continues to finalise its network of partnerships and expand its range of services to include mobile application testing and Cloud Automation.

Growth Perspectives

Despite a business outlook which remains fragile, Open stands by the figures and general predictions made in the future strategy document published in March.

Turnover results for the first two quarters of 2013 will be announced on Thursday 18th July 2013, after close of trading.
