2015 financial year

  • Consolidated revenue as at 31 December 2015 reached €189.9M, up 5%.
     
  • International sales represented 30% of our revenue, compared with 29% in 2014, and continue to rise, led by steady growth in Switzerland and Luxembourg.
     
  • With continued cost management and the effect of the CICE deduction, the DLSI group generated operating income of €9.241K, representing 4.9 % of our revenue.

The group's share of the net income, after taxes, reached €6.174K, up 57%, confirming the relevance of our strategic choices.
Our results, as well as strict cost management, allowed us to dramatically reduce our debt, down from 35% in 2014 to 1.7 % of the shareholders' equity in 2015.

Prospects for 2016

The first months of the financial year have shown a significant increase in activity both in France and abroad. Our development in the nuclear sector continues, with the opening of two new agencies (Chinon and Lyon).
This evolution early on in the financial year allows us to look forward to an excellent year.

Our group remains open to the possibility of one or more opportunities for external growth.

Dividend: multiplied by 2

We will be proposing that our General Shareholders' Meeting of 24 June 2016 approve the distribution of a dividend of €0.46 per share, in order to thank our shareholders for their loyalty and the confidence they had in our company.
Such amount of €0.46 per share represents a return of 4.24 % compared with the price of the DLSI share, which was at €10.60 when markets closed on 12 April 2016.

Next update (after markets close):
*         Publication of the 1st quarter results on 19 May 2016
