Achievements
Audited revenues are up 11.9% (including 8% in organic growth vs. a 2.5% increase for the market). NEURONES has increased its market share, mainly with the signature of three major big data agreements in finance.
The increase in operating profit (up 14.6%) and net profit of which group share (up 18.3%) is even more notable than the increase in revenues.
After a year punctuated by four small acquisitions (130 people), and with (industrial) investments returning to a standard level, net cash and cash equivalents (€138.6m) continue to grow.
Having exceeded 5,000 employees, NEURONES is no longer eligible for PEA PME.
Outlook As usual, forecasts for the current year will be posted along with the Group's 1 st quarter revenues. They will benefit from the momentum gathered in 2016.
