Puteaux, May 6 2015 – Elis, the leading multi-services group in Europe and in Brazil, specializing in the rental and maintenance of professional clothing, textile articles, hygiene and well-being appliances, today announces its revenues for the 3 months ended 31 March 2015.

Commenting on the first quarter revenues, Xavier Martiré, CEO of Elis, said:

"Despite a sluggish macro environment in Europe and Brazil, Elis continued to deliver solid growth in the first quarter. This good performance demonstrates both the resilient nature of our business model and the strength of our commercial teams. As such, we confirm that we are on track to deliver +6.5% revenue growth in FY15.

Q1 was marked by the IPO of Elis. Together, with the successful notes offering in April, we have successfully strengthened the Group's financial flexibility.

Furthermore, we have also improved our network with bolt-on acquisitions in Germany, Switzerland, France and Spain.

Together, these achievements will allow us to accelerate the deployment of our 4 strategic pillars: 1) To consolidate our positions in all our geographies, 2) To continue the development of our Brazilian platform 3) To pursue the improvement of our operational excellence and 4) The launch of new products and services."

Industry	46.7	45.8	+2.0 %	+2.0 %

Percentage change calculations are based on actual figures

First quarter revenue growth of 2.5% in France was entirely organic.

• In the Hospitality segment, revenues increased 5.2% from the ramp up of contracts signed in 2014. Solid revenue growth was achieved despite the negative impact we felt from the terrorist attacks in Paris during January.
• Revenues for the Healthcare segment grew by 3.7%, driven by market share gains for both short-stay and long-stay clients.
• Revenues for the Industry segment rose by 2.0% helped by new contracts wins in a market which remains subdued.
• The persistently difficult macro environment led to a slight decline in Trade & Services revenues (-0.7%).

Europe

Movements in foreign exchange and perimeter were the principal drivers of reported revenue growth in Northern Europe (+8.9%). The commercial performance in the region was good but offset by the loss of 3 significant contracts in Belgium and Switzerland in early 2014.

Revenues in Southern Europe (+7.9% organic) continued to rebound helped by an improving macro environment and impressive commercial momentum in all segments including Hospitality and Industry.

Brazil

Revenues in Brazil (+61.6%) benefited from an additional month of activity from Atmosfera compared to Q1 2014. Despite the macro environment in the region, commercial momentum was good underscoring our view that the market has strong potential. Organic growth of +2.0% included a drag from the loss of several contracts in early 2014.
