Commenting on the 2016 first quarter revenues, Xavier Martiré, CEO of Elis, said:
"The 4.1% organic revenue growth delivered in Q1 was very satisfactory and in line with our expectations. It reflects the Group's momentum in all its geographies, especially Southern Europe and Latin America.
At the beginning of the year, Elis continued its expansion in Europe and Latin America through two strategic acquisitions which strengthened the Group's position in Germany and reinforced its leadership position in Brazil. These acquisitions are in line with Elis' strategy of consolidating its geographic platforms and should contribute to accelerating the Group's development.
This set of figures allows us to confirm our FY16 outlook for revenue and margin."

Q1 revenue growth of +2.6% in France was entirely organic and showed acceleration compared to Q4 2015. All segments were up in Q1:
Q1 revenue growth in Northern Europe (+31.7%) was largely driven by the acquisitions completed in April 2015, July 2015 and January 2016. Organic revenue growth was +2.6%, with Switzerland and Germany, our main markets in the region, delivering good growth thanks to the same calendar effects seen in France and a good performance by the Hospitality segment.
Revenue in Southern Europe continued to be dynamic (+16.0%) in a favorable macro environment with double-digit organic growth (+11.0%). This was again driven by Spain, which grew revenues in all segments and benefited from the aforementioned calendar effects.
Q1 revenue growth increased +26.1% largely due to acquisitions we completed in Brazil in July 2015 and in January 2016, and the acquisition of Albia in Chile (consolidated since October 1st 2015). Organic growth improved sharply in Q1, at +13.9%. This was due to three main effects: (i) price increases, (ii) strong activity from hospitals, laboratories and medical centers as a consequence of epidemics that impacted Brazil during the summer and (iii) gains of new contracts with large accounts. The depreciation of the Brazilian Real strongly impacted our reported revenue growth with a -28.7% impact on revenues in the region.
