(**) Following a change in the organization in the Netherlands, €2.1 M of turnover included in Business Consulting in Q1 2010 are now part of Technology Consulting figures. The growth figures in this table have been restated to allow comparison.
Technology Consulting revenues stood at €110.5 million, an increase of 12.8 percent over the same period last year, or 5.6 percent excluding acquisitions and currency effects. This division was negatively impacted, as it was in the previous quarter, by the termination of a low value-added business in Turkey for about €2 million. On the contrary, infrastructure integration projects in France and information system security business expanded well. The Group won the Security Service Centre ("Security Smart Service Center") from a major oil and gas player in France. Devoteam was also recognized as the Best Elite Partner in EMEA by BMC Software for the second year in a row, confirming the Group's leadership on ESM projects (Enterprise Service Management). Finally, thanks to its Telecom expertise, Devoteam recently supported Norwegian Air Shuttle to be the 1st airline in Europe to launch commercial Wi-Fi internet access on board their airplanes.
Business Consulting revenues were €23.3 million, an increase of 23.9 percent, or 9.2 percent like-for-like. They benefited from an improved economic situation in the Middle-East and Denmark and a favourable seasonality during the quarter.
2011 Outlook and cash to shareholders
After an encouraging performance in the beginning of the year in terms of net recruitment, Devoteam confirms its annual targets of €530 million revenues and an improvement of operating margin, when excluding the impact of Wola Info.
Devoteam repurchased its own shares for an amount of €1.4 million in the first quarter of 2011.
Next financial press release: first half results, after market close on August 30th, 2011.
