€ millions | 2010/11 | 2009/10 | Change |
Q1 turnover | 27.9 | 25.8 | + 8% |
In the first quarter of fiscal 2010/11 (which will end on 31st March 2011), Solucom recorded consolidated turnover of € 27.9m, purely organic growth of 8% on Q1 2009/10.
The beginning of the current fiscal year was characterised by a globally favourable market context, with strong demand in all sectors of activity, with the exception of the public sector, which was held back by budgetary restrictions.
Solucom has also benefited from a calendar effect during the quarter, with 2 additional business days in the period.
A net progression in overall level of activity in Q1 2010/11
In this context, level of activity stood at 86% in Q1 2010/11, a clear progression compared to the entire last fiscal year at 80%. All of the firm's practices saw their activity level improve, including those in difficulty in 2009/10, which are now near their normal levels.
The firm's head count was down at the end of June, to 945 staff as compared to 978 at the end of March. Solucom saw a large increase in staff turnover in the first quarter, at 17% on an annual basis, and relative inertia in the relaunch of its recruitment rate. Human resources will be a key factor of success for this fiscal year, with the intensification of endeavours aiming to bring staff turnover under control and to foster a new acceleration in the recruitment effort.
Annual financial objectives confirmed
The first quarter has shown a good start to fiscal 2010/11 in line with the current business plan which sees a relaunch of organic growth and the likelihood of regaining a double-digit gross operating margin.
Next announcements: General Meeting, 24 September 2010; H1 2010/11 turnover, 21st October 2010 (after closing of the stock market).
