* Pre-audit figures
Aubay continues its excellent start to 2022 with second-quarter revenue up 10.1% on a like-for-like basis at €128.9 million, representing the Group's 5th consecutive quarter of double-digit organic growth. First-half revenue amounted to €258.5 million, a 10.9% increase which is perfectly in line with our expectations.
All regions contributed to this performance, which was consistent across the board, breaking down as €131.4 million for France and €127.1 million overseas. Growth momentum in France and overseas was balanced, at 11.1% and 10.7% respectively.
This solid performance was driven by record business levels which enabled the Group to remain selective in its choice of projects and missions to propose to consultants. For the moment, there are no signs of any slowdown.
Net recruitment accelerated in Q2, bringing the total number of employees to 7,442 compared to 6,888 at June 30, 2021 and 7,306 at December 31, 2021. Despite market pressures, this trend is expected to continue in the second half of the year. Our consultants' productivity was remarkable, coming in at 95.2% versus 93.8% one year earlier.
The first half of 2022 also benefited from a favorable calendar effect, with one additional billable day. All indicators are in the green and the operating margin for the half-year is expected be around 10% higher than in the first half of 2021.
Outlook for 2022
In light of this very solid first-half performance, marked by strong commercial activity and growth momentum, Aubay's objective is now to achieve the top end of its revenue target, i.e., €513 million, a 9% increase.
The target for operating margin from ordinary activities remains unchanged at between 9.5% and 10.5%.
Aubay's first-half 2022 results will be published on Wednesday, September 14, 2022 after the close of trading.
