ECONOCOM : Q1 2022 REVENUE GROWTH

Q1 2022 revenue growth¹

Revenue up 3.2%¹ to €544 million driven by positive trends in Products & Solutions and continued growth in Technology Management & Financing (TMF)

Acceleration of external growth policy

Econocom Group generated revenue of €543.9 million for the first quarter of 2022, up 3.2%¹ compared with the first quarter of the previous year. The increase was mainly driven by strong momentum in the Products & Solutions business and the return to growth from the second half of 2021 in the TMF business. Both businesses continued to post brisk sales, with the backlog still high at the end of March 2022, €122 million above the end of March 2021 backlog. The selective project strategy helped limit the decline in Services revenue.

Acceleration of M&A activity

Econocom continued to implement its external growth policy by reviewing a number of potential acquisitions: further information will be communicated over the coming months.

Disposal of non-strategic business in progress

For 2022, the impact of the revenue forecast in respect of acquisitions and disposals should be roughly the same.

Outlook: 2022 growth target of 4-5% maintained

Econocom confirms its target of 4-5% revenue growth in 2022. This increase is expected to stem from a combination of organic growth and targeted acquisitions.
