In line with previous announcements, Groupe Open once again posted significant organic growth of +5% in its turnover in Q3.


Over the first 9 months of 2015, growth stood at 7%, of which 5.8% in organic growth.


This growth in turnover in Q3 can be explained by the continuing improvement in the occupation rate, by the stability of the average daily rate and by growth in the productive workforce.


Regarding the latter indicator, Groupe Open achieved an exceptional performance in the number of recruitments, taking on over 100 new staff in September alone.


Internationally, turnover was down on account of a lower figure in the Netherlands, driven by a fall in revenue from sales of non-recurring products.



Prospects


Q3 2015 continued the dynamic of previous quarters, remaining on the growth trend seen in several consecutive quarters now.


On the strength of this performance, Groupe Open confirms its objectives for 2015 turnover of around €280 million and a significant increase in its current and net operating income.


As announced, on 12 November Groupe Open will be unveiling its 2020 Strategy designed to accelerate its digital development.


2015 annual turnover will be announced in a news release. on Thursday 21 January 2016, after the close of trading
