During the second half of the year, our cash collection was particularly strong. Taking into account our portfolio of treasury shares, our cash position increased significantly, from €15.8 million at 30 June 2023 to €32.6 million at 31 December 2023.

OUTLOOK

Our revised business plan for 2024-2028 forecasts annual organic growth of around 15%, with stable profitability of close to 12%.

We will be presenting a detailed strategic plan at our SFAF meeting on 7 March in Paris. Based on these projections, we expect to achieve revenue in excess of €320 million by 2024, continuing our organic growth dynamic.
