With revenue up 13.5% (up 12.9% on an organic basis) to €156.2 million, the Respiratory business continued its excellent performance and now accounts for 58% of homecare services. The Group is continuing to increase its market share in France. England and Canada are still performing well, without yet benefiting fully from the recently-obtained territorial extensions. In Italy, Oxystore posted an excellent performance.
The "Nutrition-Perfusion-Stomatherapy-Diabetes" business posted revenue of €112.3 million, up 7.3%, driven by the excellent performance of the Diabetes business.
2024-2025 outlook confirmed
In view of the solid momentum recorded since the beginning of the year, and the additional growth expected from contracts signed in the Respiratory sector in Canada and the UK, the Bastide Group is confirming its targets of at least €560 million (based on the current scope) in revenue and an operating margin before non-recurring items of at least 9.1% for the 2024-2025 financial year.
The expected improvement in earnings, combined with rigorous management of working capital and capital expenditure, will help to reduce the Group's debt and improve leverage ratios. The Group is continuing to analyze its business portfolio, with the aim of accelerating its debt reduction by disposing of assets that no longer align with the Group's strategy or that offer limited potential for organic growth or additional value creation in the short to medium term.
