Reintegration of certain Products & Solutions activities
into continuing operations
In the first quarter of 2022, the Econocom Group received an offer to purchase certain activities of its Products & Solutions business Line.
Due to the attractiveness of the offer, Econocom decided, upon releasing its revenue for the first quarter of 2022 (on 14 April), to consider these activities as "held for sale" within the meaning of IFRS 5.
It has now been confirmed that the prospective transfer will not take place, a scenario also envisaged at the analysts' meeting on 28 July. Given the interest of the activities in question, Econocom has decided to stop the disposal process and to reintegrate them into continuing operations.
A large portion of these activities is linked to the deployment of Smart Office solutions and presents substantial synergies with other solutions of the same kind that the Group is currently developing in Europe.
After reintegrating these activities, revenue from continuing operations for the nine months to end-September 2022 was €1,935 million, as opposed to the €1,826 million reported on 14 October. Organic growth was accordingly 9.1%, rather than 9.5% as previously reported. Proforma revenue for the nine months ended 30 September 2021 used to calculate this organic growth is presented in the Appendix.
Econocom confirms its ability to achieve organic growth in excess of 5% in 2022, as stated in the 14 October 2022 press release.
