Assystem SA reported unaudited consolidated revenue results for the third quarter and the nine months ended September 30, 2017. For the third quarter, the company's revenue was EUR 88.9 million against EUR 87.5 million for the same period last year. Consolidated revenue growth slowed in the third quarter to 1.6% (4.3% in organic growth, a 0.5% negative impact from changes in scope of consolidation and a 2.2% negative currency effect). This slowdown was due to the unexpected negative revenue trends for Radicon and the Staffing business during the period, which trimmed an aggregate 2.4% off third-quarter organic revenue growth, and the lower number of business days compared with third-quarter 2016 (which had an estimated 1.5% adverse effect).

For the nine months, the company's revenue was EUR 293.4 million against EUR 278.5 million for the same period last year. Based on its new scope of fully-consolidated companies, Assystem's consolidated revenue rose by 5.3% year on year in the first nine months of 2017, breaking down as 4.9% in organic growth (8.2% excluding the impact of the Staffing business), a 1.4% increase due to changes in the scope of consolidation and a 1.0% negative currency effect.

The Group has revised its targets for full-year 2017 as follows: organic revenue growth of between 8.0% and 8.5% at constant exchange rates for the Energy & Infrastructure business (versus c. 10% previously); EUR 45 million in revenue for the Staffing business (versus EUR 50 million previously). The Group is standing by its target of achieving a significant increase in EBITA margin, based on its current scope of fully-consolidated companies.
