Q3 2023 revenue amount to €4.2 million, up 14% compared to the same period in 2022 reflecting the traditional seasonality of the sector during the summer season and a strong recovery of activity in September.
The quarter benefited from a further sustained increase of +60% in revenue to traditional candidates self-financing their driving license training, as the balance of business continues to shift in their favour.
The 7% drop in revenue from candidates financing their learning with the CPF (Personal Training Account) scheme is linked to the strengthening of digital identity verification measures introduced at the end of 2022 by the public authorities, reducing the amount of orders received via this channel and impacting with a few months’ delay the number of driving hours performed in the field.
The effects of these measures gradually wore off over the first half of the year, and revenue from CPF candidates should return to growth in the 4th quarter, matching prior-year levels.
As of September 30, 2023, revenue generated from traditional candidates represent 43% of the activity, compared with 30% for the same period in 2022. This development, which the company had committed to, has positive impacts on operating cycle financing, lightening working capital requirements, as service purchases are paid cash by customers as soon as orders are placed.
In Q4 2023, lePERMISLIBRE anticipates a more dynamic growth in activity in line with September pace. The launch of new insurance services addressing candidates engaged in driving license training will be announced very shortly.
