2009/2010 was highlighted by a significant reduction of the working capital. This reduction was particularly due by a significant decrease of the creditors despite an increase of the revenues. The DSO, or the average payment terms by its customers, was reduced by more than 40 days to 82 days at the end of March 2010. The group is reinforcing its management structure to further decrease its working capital.

The financial situation is therefore significantly strengthened at the end of March 31, 2010.

Conclusion & Outlook

The 2009/2010 results confirm the good performances of its revenues, released on April 28, 2010. 2009/2010 demonstrates the Generix Group's solidity after an economical downturn that negatively impacted the revenues at the end of 2008/2009 and at the beginning of 2009/2010. This year also shows Generix Group's ability to generate cash and reduce its net debt.

Jean-Charles DECONNINCK, Chairman of the Executive Board of Generix Group, said: «We are determined to still grow our revenues in 2010/2011 and break even our IFRS net result. We are however careful in an economical environment in Europe in particular that could occasionally impact our revenues.»
