(1) Consolidation of the
India-based company L&T Infrastructure Engineering Limited
(L&T IEL) and France-based Keops Automation since 1 January
2024, and deconsolidation (from the France segment) of Assystem’s
activities in the Pacific region since 1 December 2023 following
their sale.
(2) On a constant scope of consolidation and
currency basis.
In the first nine months of 2024, Assystem's
consolidated revenue totalled €445.4 million, compared with
€421.7 million in the same period of 2023. This represents
total growth of 5.6%, breaking down as 5.2% in organic growth, 0.3%
due to changes in the scope of consolidation, and a favourable 0.1%
currency effect.
In the third quarter of 2024, consolidated
revenue rose to €144.1 million (from €139.3 million in Q3 2023),
representing growth of 3.5%, which was slower than in previous
quarters. Organic growth was 3.8%, changes in the scope of
consolidation had a negative 0.5% impact, and the currency effect
was a positive 0.1%. This slowdown was due to a lack of activity
for infrastructure projects in Saudi Arabia, which could not be
offset by business in other countries in the International segment,
while the development of nuclear new-builds in France has been
lower than we expected.
FRANCE (63% of nine-month consolidated
revenue in 2024)
Revenue in France amounted to €278.9 million
versus €273.1 million in the first nine months of 2023. This 2.1%
year-on-year increase breaks down as 4.5% in organic growth and a
negative 2.4% impact from changes in the scope of consolidation
(net effect of the deconsolidation of Assystem's activities in the
Pacific region and the acquisition of Keops). Nuclear activities
accounted for 87% of the Group’s revenue in France in the first
nine months of 2024.
In the third quarter of 2024, revenue in France
rose 3.2% (including 6.4% organic growth). Nuclear activities once
again reported solid organic revenue growth, coming in at 9.7%,
driven by new projects underway related to the fuel cycle, whereas
volumes of activity for France’s nuclear installed base returned to
normal levels, and the development of nuclear new-builds slowed
compared with our expectations from the end of the quarter.
INTERNATIONAL (37% of nine-month consolidated revenue in
2024)
Revenue from International operations came to
€166.5 million versus €148.7 million in the first nine months of
2023. This 12.0% year-on-year increase includes 6.3% in organic
growth, a favourable 5.3% impact from changes in the scope of
consolidation (acquisition of L&T IEL), and a positive 0.4%
currency effect. Nuclear activities accounted for 50% of
International revenue in the first nine months of 2024.
In the third quarter of 2024, revenue growth
slowed considerably, coming in at 4.0% overall, with a 0.4% organic
decrease. Saudi Arabia recorded negative revenue growth due to an
unfavourable basis of comparison, the very gradual start-up of the
contract related to the Saudi nuclear programme, and the
later-than-expected execution of infrastructure engineering
contracts. In parallel, growth remained solid in the United
Kingdom, and in India revenue was stable on an organic basis.
FREE SHARE PLANS AND SHARE BUYBACK
PROGRAMME
On 30 September 2024, Assystem awarded a total
of 985,913 shares to the beneficiaries of its two free share plans
launched in July 2024 as part of its key personnel retention
programme (for recollection, 288,250 shares were awarded in 2023
under this programme).
For the purpose of these awards, through its
share buyback programme, the Company acquired – via its investment
services provider – 306,825 Assystem shares in the period up to and
including 18 October 2024.
FULL-YEAR 2024 TARGETS REVISED DOWNWARDS
In view of the trends observed at end-September
and the uncertainties arising from budget difficulties in France
and the United Kingdom, which have significantly slowed the
start-up of new-build nuclear engineering projects in which
Assystem is involved, the Group has decided to revise its full-year
targets for 2024. The new targets are as follows:
- consolidated revenue of around €610
million (versus around €620 million previously);
- EBITA
margin(1) of around 6.5% (versus
around 7% previously).
These targets take into account the sale of
Assystem’s activities in the Pacific region and the acquisitions
carried out as at the date of this press
release(2).
