Gauthier Louette, Chairman & CEO, commented: "We enjoyed a very good start to the year, evidencing the dynamism of our markets. This good performance has been achieved in almost all our geographies, confirming the relevance of our positioning as an enabler of the energy transition and the digital transformation of our customers. SPIE has delivered a solid organic growth in Q1 and Group margin continues to improve especially in the Netherlands thanks to operational excellence and reinforced discipline. The Group's fundamentals are as strong as ever, and SPIE has had ample opportunities to demonstrate its resilience. The current situation of higher inflation and disruption of the supply chains calls for caution, but we have always mastered inflation impacts and we closely monitor the situation.While bringing uncertainty, we observe that the current macroeconomic and geopolitical context is already favouring investments related to Europe's energy independence. Our 2022 outlook remains unchanged."
