2015 consolidated Turnover amounted to € 1,540.9 million, an increase of 12.2 % compared to 2014. On a like‐for‐like basis, including exchange rate effect, activity increases of 3.4 % (2.5 % in France; 4.6% abroad).
In Q4 2015, the turnover reached € 401.1M, up to 12.2% compared to Q4 2014 (+3.1% on a like‐for‐like basis). Organic growth has continued to accelerate abroad (+5.5%), but has reached a standstill in France (+1%).
International business is up sharply, thanks to the acquisitions (+21.9%). Activity outside of France now represents 48.5% of the total activity. Southern Europe reported strong results, with a double‐digit organic growth. Activity in Q4 is also improving in Germany and in Scandinavia, in spite of a marginal decline in the nine first months.
Activity growth is mainly driven by Automotive, Aerospace and Life Sciences sectors.
EXTERNAL GROWTH:
By carrying out nine acquisitions, including seven abroad, since January 2015, Alten has pursued its targeted acquisition strategy.
In France, Alten strengthened its positioning in Life Sciences and BI sector (390 consultants).
Abroad, seven companies have reached the Group since January 2015 (Canada, Germany, Scandinavia, Belgium, the Netherlands and Italy) totalling 530 consultants.
OUTLOOK 2016:
