| As expected, decline of total revenues after the deconsolidation of Réseau de L'Arc and the absence of capital gains in the reporting period |
|---|
| However, the purely operating result improved, as the dilutive effect of Réseau de l'Arc was eliminated |
| Organic revenue growth of 4.7% highlights a strong operating result |
| Good performance with EBITDAR margin of 16.9% |
| Factoring out results from M&A activities in HY 2022, this represents an 10.5% margin increase |
| The lower revenues in combination with noticeable inflation effects on various cost items led to lower margins compared to the previous year |
| The second semester started promisingly and AEVIS expects a good year overall in 2023 |
