Growth fuelled by fibre and smart meter contracts
Solutions 30's consolidated turnover in fourth-quarter 2016 surged 67.6% to €57.0 million compared with the same period in 2015. Full-year 2016 turnover rose 53.1% to €191.7 million, with approximately 66% accounted for by organic growth.
Growth in France was fuelled by the roll-out of contracts signed in 2015 related to high-speed Internet infrastructures and installation of linky smart meters. These are five-year contracts that will be fully operational in 2017
The international market now accounts for 32.5% of Solutions 30's total business (Q4) Turnover rose 58.9% on the back of the consolidation of Spanish companies Rexion (in November 2015) and Autronic (in March 2016), Belgian-based JFS (in May 2016) and the German ABM (in November 2016).
Solid business performance
In France, SOLUTIONS 30 won an initial contract for the roll-out of 6% of the first tranche of 5.2 million gas meters.
Recent acquisitions in the international market brings the group to critical mass in all its markets. It now has solid bases for growth, clearly demonstrated by its recent wins:
- In Belgium, Proximus (ex-Belgacom) announced a €3 billion investment over 10 years to accelerate the deployment of fibre-optic. JFS is one of the companies selected to work on the project, illustrating the value of SOLUTIONS 30's external growth strategy.
- Following a tender in Italy for the installation of a tranche of 1.8 million meters, Italgas (ex-ENI) selected SOLUTIONS 30 for 16% of this phase, starting next March.
2017: sustained double-digit profitable growth
SOLUTIONS 30 reached a new milestone in 2016 as it continued to consolidate and increase its European leadership position.
SOLUTIONS 30 will continue its profitable growth strategy in 2017 with further double-digit gains.
