(ii) includes AAA’s 2023 revenue. AAA was deconsolidated on 01/06/2023.



ANALYSIS

The comparison of revenue for the first quarter 2023 and the first quarter 2024 must take into account the fact that in the first quarter 2023 we were still consolidating AAA, which was sold and therefore deconsolidated on 1 June 2023.

If we analyse this growth on a like-for-like basis, it is higher than the budgeted 15%.

In Terms of profitability, we remain at our ‘normative’ profitability of 12%.



OUTLOOK 2024

We can confirm our 2024 budget.



OUTLOOK 2028

2024 is an important year for Sword as we plan to outperform the organic growth forecasted in the Business Plan over the following 4 years, thanks to:

- Growth accelerators, some of which are still being studied,

- Micro-acquisitions, which themselves generate organic growth for the Group’s other entities.

We confirm our Business Plan 2028.
