"We have delivered robust results in the first quarter given that the economic environment remained challenging and impacted our performance as expected. The business pipeline has improved significantly in the period, with encouraging contract wins that are expected to drive the acceleration of revenue growth later on this year. Importantly, we continue working hard on our migration plan, mobilising considerable resources, particularly since Luxembourg started the migration process in Q1 2021.
Meanwhile, positive secular trends from outsourcing, globalisation and regulation continue to drive our business, and technology remains a key differentiating factor to seamlessly service clients. We will continue to focus on the flawless execution of our strategic goals and to enhance further our ability to drive new business in upcoming periods, with the right team in place to do so.
Our ability to outperform competition will be driven by continued investment in human capital and technology. This will be achieved with a disciplined approach, as we remain committed to our deleveraging targets for 2021 and beyond."
