Presentation of the 2024-2028 Strategic Plan

Our revised business plan for 2024-2028 forecasts annual organic growth of around 15%, with stable profitability of close to 12%.

OUTLOOK
The 2024-2028 Business Plan, which forecasts constant profitability and growth in excess of 13% a year, has been the subject of a strategic plan which will be presented at the annual meeting (SFAF meeting) on 7 March in Paris.
As a result, the Group is forecasting annual revenue in excess of €316m in 2024, excluding acquisitions.

OUTLOOK
Excluding AAA, 2023 full-year revenue will be higher than the annual target of €280 million, closer to €282 million.
On this basis, organic growth for the year will exceed 18% and therefore significantly above budget.
As already mentioned during our last meeting, the Business Plan for the next 3 years forecasts organic growth of between 13% and 15%.

The implementation of the liquidity contract is carried out in accordance with AMF Decision No. 2018-01 dated July 2, 2018, establishing liquidity contracts on equity securities as accepted market practice.
