and year-on-year changes (unaudited)
In € millions | H1 2022 | H1 2023 | Total year-on-year change | Like-for-like year-on-year change |
| Group | 241.7 | 282.5 | +16.9% | +13.9% |
| Nuclear(1) | 171.7 | 198.1 | +15.4% | +15.8% |
| ET&I(1) | 69.9 | 84.4 | +20.6% | +9.1% |
(1)Consolidation of the UK company LogiKal since 1 December 2022 and of Oreka Ingénierie and Relsafe PRA Consulting since 1 January 2023.
Assystem's business activities in the Pacific area (due to be sold in 2023) represented €5.0 million in revenue in H1 2022 and €6.3 million in H1 2023.
Assystem's consolidated revenue totalled €282.5 million in the first half of 2023, up 16.9% on first-half 2022. The year-on-year increase breaks down as 13.9% in like-for-like growth, a positive 3.9% impact from changes in the scope of consolidation (due to the consolidation of UK-based LogiKal since 1 December 2022 and of Oreka Ingénierie and Relsafe PRA Consulting since 1 January 2023), and a 0.9% negative currency effect.
The Group's solid like-for-like growth was driven by robust demand in all of our businesses, as well as by the success of our recruitment campaign carried out upstream of projects as from Q4 2022, enabling the planned number of employees to be reached.
NUCLEAR (70% of consolidated revenue)
Revenue from Nuclear activities totalled €198.1 million versus €171.7 million in the first half of 2022. This 15.4% year-on-year increase includes 15.8% like-for-like growth, a positive 0.4% impact from changes in the scope of consolidation, and a negative 0.9% currency effect.
Growth for this segment was buoyant in France, very buoyant in the United Kingdom, and all of the Group's other geographic regions posted revenue increases. As a reminder, like-for-like growth reached a low point in first-half 2022.
ENERGY TRANSITION & INFRASTRUCTURES (ET&I)
ET&I revenue came to €84.4 million in the first half of 2023, compared with €69.9 million in first-half 2022. Total year-on-year growth was 20.6%, breaking down as 9.1% like-for-like growth, a positive 12.3% impact from changes in the scope of consolidation, and a negative 0.8% currency effect.
The increasing contribution of siting studies as part of the Group's major infrastructure contracts in Saudi Arabia since the second quarter of 2022 has now steadied, at a high level compared with 2022.
OUTLOOK FOR FULL-YEAR2023
Assystem has signed an agreement to sell its business activities in the Pacific area - Assystem Polynésie and Assystem Nouvelle-Calédonie - to the current management of those two companies. Subject to the fulfilment of certain conditions precedent, the sale is due to close by the end of 2023, enabling Assystem to complete its strategic refocusing.
Taking into account this disposal, Assystem's targets for full-year 2023 are as follows:
- consolidated revenue of around €570 million;
- and EBITA(1) of around €35 million.
These targets are based on the assumption that the macroeconomic, geopolitical and public health context will remain similar to the situation in the first half of the year.
