Current operating income rose 24.9% to €41.9 million, an increase of €8.4 million. The current operating margin rose from 13.6% in 2014 to 14.4%.

Performance by division breaks down as follows:

• Tessi documents services posted turnover of €219.7 million, up 23.2% including 13.6% like-for-like growth. Graddo and Gdoc both turned in strong performances. Current operating income came to €28.7 million, up 26% from the previous year. The division's current operating margin amounted to 13.1%, up from 12.8% in 2014.

Net income Group share increased €4.7 million to €23.0 million. Group net margin remained high at 7.9% of turnover.

> Financial structure remains extremely robust

The net cash outflow over the year is mainly due to the acquisition of Spanish-based Diagonal Company, as a result of which Group borrowings increased from €70.8 million at 31 December 2014 to €115.7 million at 2015 year-end.

Operating cash flow amounted to €43.9 million, compared to €31.2 million in 2014.
