2017: growth in every region at constant exchange rates

In Europe, the consolidated revenue for 2017 grew by 1.9% at constant exchange rates. This increase is satisfactory despite a 3.3% fall last quarter, mainly due to the fall in sales in Germany.

The negative currency impact of €2.0 million over the quarter came principally from Turkey and, to a lesser degree, from Switzerland and the UK.

Outside Europe, the revenue for the period rose by 7.3% year-on-year with no overall exchange rate effect. The positive impact in the first three quarters was completely offset by the very negative impact in the last quarter (€7.3 million), mainly attributable to the US dollar.

All the segments grew at constant exchange rates:

  • The MRI segment gained 11.6% over the year, bringing it to €275.2 million. In the 4th quarter, in Europe, Dotarem® sales volumes were still high, with limited price erosion given the arrival of a generic. The sales of this generic should impact the 2018 financial year on a "full year" basis in Europe, while it only impacted the last quarter in 2017

  • In the X-Ray segment, sales rose slightly, by 0.5%, to €377.2 million, with good performances for Optiray® and Xenetix® in Other Markets (Asia and Latin America) in spite of a slide in Europe.

  • In the IRT segment, the 11.6% growth in the second half-year allowed the Group to make up the delay due to supply difficulties in the 1st half-year. The segment reported revenue up by 3.6% to €57.5 million.

  • Thanks to its complete and fully operational range, ISS also performed well, with a 4.6% increase in revenue to €80.1 million in a highly competitive market.

Confirmation of the 2017 targets

As announced, the Group's targets for 2017 remain unchanged with EBITDA** expected to outpace revenue growth rate.

*Calculation of exchange rate effect: difference between the indicator's value for period N, converted at the exchange rate for period N-1, and the indicator's value for period N-1

**EBITDA: Operating income + net allowance for amortization, depreciation and provisions
