2021 | 2020 | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Q1 turnover | 60.2 | 61.2 | -2% |

Alphonse has been consolidated since March 1 st , 2021.
In Q2 2020, Umanis (Euronext Growth - FR0013263878 - ALUMS) realised consolidated revenue of €60.7m, up +20% compared to the Q2 2020.
Umanis's strong return to growth is thus confirmed beyond the +15% increase expected at the time of publication of Q1 turnover.
This process is the result of an increase in billable staff and a continuous improvement in the activity rate throughout the first half of the year (TACE1 up by +3.7%).
In addition, Q2 2021 was marked by a significant improvement in sales with the opening of new high-potential major accounts and an acceleration of new massification projects, such as the multi-year contracts with Crédit Agricole Group Infrastructure Platform and another leading French banking institution.
In this favourable environment, the company feels more confident in its annual recruitment plan – already well underway – with an increase of 340 consultants since the beginning of the year, with profiles focused on data-related professions (data engineers, data scientists and developers).
With these positive elements considered, and as a result of the measures taken from the end of Q1 2021 to operational efficiency, Umanis is in a position to anticipate that profitability in H1 2021 above that of last year (reminder: 9.2% EBITDA2 margin in H1 2020).
For the full year 2021, Umanis confirms its development trajectory, which positions the company on a proforma 2021 revenue outlook (after the acquisition of the French ESN Alphonse) of around €250 million, excluding new external growth operations.

In terms of profitability, the Group aims to achieve an annual EBITDA3 margin of around 13% by 2021.
H1 2021 also confirms Umanis' intention to resume a policy of sustained external growth in 2021.
Several projects are being studied, in line with the Group's strategic positioning on data, business consulting and the digital transformation of companies.
These dates are indicative and may be changed if necessary. The publications will take place after the close of the Euronext Paris markets.
