Very solid Q3 revenues indeed

In keeping with previous quarters, Chargeurs published robust sales which were up 7.5% on an organic basis and 6.7% reported. The reported figure is impacted by the Yak disposal in Fashion Technologies and the acquisition of MainTape in the US in the Protective Films business line. Chargeurs’ fast-improving respectability is confirmed as it raised another €15m 7-year bond at 2.45%. There is no mention of the intended deployment of the proceeds.
Management is confirming an underlying EBIT target of at least €35m.
