press release

GRENOBLE, 18 APRIL 2017

2016 turnover of €404.0 million

Current operating income of €48.7 million

The Tessi Group Supervisory Board met on 12 April 2017 and approved the 2016 financial statements. The audit work has been completed and the certification report will be issued once annual financial report publication formalities have been duly completed.

 Consolidated income statement (1 January - 31 December)

 Growth in KPI values

Tessi posted 2016 turnover of €404.0 million, up 39.3% including 10.2% like-for-like growth.

Following late 2015 and early 2016 acquisitions in Spain, Portugal, Latin America, Switzerland and Austria, turnover generated outside France increased sharply from €31.8 million in 2015 to €118.1 million.

Current operating income, up 16.5% to €48.7 million, increased less steeply than turnover, mainly due to the decline in CPoR Devises' operating margin and the lower operating margins of recent acquisitions.

Performance by division breaks down as follows:

• Tessi documents services posted turnover of €338.8 million and a current operating margin of 11.3% (13.1% in 2015).

• Tessi customer marketing posted turnover of €25.1 million with a current operating margin of 5.4% (0.4% in 2015).

• CPoR Devises posted turnover of €40.2 million and a current operating margin of 22.6% (29.6% in 2015).

Consolidated net income rose 31.5% to €30.2 million, after deduction of a net financial expense of

€3.9 million (€0.4 million in 2015) and corporate income tax of €11.2 million (€10.7 million in 2015). 2015 net income was impacted by a €5 million share of losses of equity affiliates.
