PRESS RELEASE

SYNERGIE confirms its excellent start to 2015 by reporting consolidated turnover of €401.3 million (+7.6% on a like-for-like basis), up sharply from 2014.

The Group is therefore outperforming the markets in most countries where it is currently established.

International growth is gathering pace, with a total increase of 16.2%, and reached 50% of the Group's turnover in March, in line with its stated objectives.

This momentum is particularly strong in Southern Europe (+20.8%), with vigorous growth in the most significant countries: +20.3% in Italy, +21.1% in Spain, which, after a year of very strong growth in 2014, continues to benefit from the economic upturn in the Iberian peninsula.

The same is true in Belgium (+13.3%), the United Kingdom (+17.7%) and Canada (+27.1%), where the currency impact was positive.

In France, turnover increased slightly to €202.7 million, with SYNERGIE seeking to preserve its profitability in a market where the number of temporary employees on assignment was near stable, according to PRISME.

However, a recovery is expected within the next few months in France, based on an increase in companies' hiring intentions (more than 1,700,000 hirings in 2015, up 2.3% from 2014, according to a survey by Pôle Emploi), which should primarily benefit temporary employment.

This performance demonstrates the pertinence of the strategic choices made by management and significant efforts made in fast-growing sectors, such as aerospace, renewable energy and specialised services businesses, combined with the Group's constant expansion inside and outside France.

UPCOMING EVENTS

• Annual General Meeting on Wednesday 17 June 2015
• Publication of turnover for the second quarter of 2015 on Wednesday 22 July 2015 after the stock market closes
