Tessi posted first half 2016 turnover of €203.1 million, up 42.4%, including 12.4% like-for-like growth (excluding the recent acquisitions of Diagonal Company, Tessi documents solutions Switzerland and Austria and BPO Solutions).
Turnover generated outside France amounted to €59.9 million, compared to €16.1 million in H1 2015.
Current operating income rose by €3.8 million to €26.6 million, up 16.6% compared with the previous year. Like for like, current operating income decreased by €1.1 million, or 5%.
The operating margin amounted to 13.1%, compared to 16.0% in H1 2015 and 14.4% for full year 2015. Three main factors explain this trend:
the consolidation of the recently acquired companies;
the continued decrease in cheque volumes;
the currency exchange business adversely affected by a geopolitical environment unfavourable to tourism and the contraction of the gold business.
The contribution of each division to the Group's current operating income was as follows:
Tessi document services posted turnover of €170.5 million, up 59.1%. Acquisitions accounted for additional turnover of €42.7 million over the period, resulting in like-for-like growth of 19.3%. Current operating income, which amounted to €21.9 million, was up 41.5% over the previous year. The most recent acquisitions accounted for €4.9 million of this increase, reducing it to 9.8% like-for-like.
Tessi customer marketing generated turnover of €12.9 million, up 4%. Current operating income recovered and returned a positive contribution of €0.8 million, compared with a loss of €0.1 million in H1 2015.
CpoR Devises posted turnover of €19.6 million, down €3.4 million compared with the previous year. Current operating income amounted to €3.9 million, compared with €7.4 million in H1 2015.
Net income Group share increased by 25.8% to €16.3 million, after a net financial expense of €0.8 million, corporation tax of €8.2 million and minority interests of €1.5 million.
Group net margin amounted to 8.0% of turnover, compared with 9.1% in H1 2015.
