Outlook for the end of the fiscal year
In the Environmental Services activity, further declines in prices of ferrous and non-ferrous metals are expected, but the Group is continuing its efforts to reduce the impact on its profits and continues to improve its profitability, as was seen during the first nine months of the fiscal year.
The Group continues to explore external growth operations.
In Multiservices, revenue and profit growth should continue in the fourth quarter.
