- The hardware configuration business was down in relation to Q3 2022, reflecting notably completion of the technical compliance campaign for the installed base combined with the rollout of Ségur functionalities.
- The economic environment impacted by inflation and rising operating costs, combined with a financial context unfavourable for investment, also adversely impacted equipment purchases by pharmacies, including for electronic labels.
- Driven by the success of new offerings, and in particular messaging, mobility and back-up solutions, sales of licenses and services remain buoyant.
- Recurring revenue continue to show strong growth.
- This Division accounted for 74 % of Equasens Group's total revenue.
- The AXIGATE LINK Division had revenues of €7.4m, up 6% on Q3 2022. Revenue for the first 9 months rose 6% to €22.3m.

- The MEDICAL SOLUTIONS Division had revenue of €1.8m, down 24% on Q3 2022. For the full first nine months, total revenue remained stable year-on-year, at €6.7m.
