Strong growth in Q1 2017 revenue, up +14.3%
Organic growth at +2.3%
Saint Cloud, April 27, 2017 - Elis, the leading multi-services group in Europe and Latin America, specializing in the rental and maintenance of flat linen, professional clothing, hygiene and well-being appliances, today announces its revenues for the 3 months ended 31 March 2017.
Commenting on the first quarter revenues, Xavier Martiré, CEO of Elis, said:
« Elis posted revenue growth of more than 14% in Q1. Organic growth was +2.3% with all geographies up despite a high comparable base. The acquisitions made in 2016, as well as the currency effect, largely contributed to growth.
In France, Q1 revenue was better than expected thanks to the recovery in the Hospitality market, although this trend remains to be confirmed. In Europe and in Latin America, the Group continued to show very good momentum.
These good Q1 numbers reinforce our confidence in our 2017 outlook, both in terms of revenue and margin.»

Europe (excluding France)
Q1 revenue growth in Northern Europe was +27.8%, driven by the acquisitions made in 2016 in Germany and Switzerland. Organic revenue growth was +3.0% despite subdued hospitality activity in Switzerland during the winter.
Southern Europe continued to be very dynamic with revenue growth of +65.9%, driven by the acquisition of Indusal in Spain in December 2016. Organic growth in the region was +6.8%. This performance was again driven by Spain and Portugal, which both delivered organic revenue growth above 7% despite the same unfavourable calendar effect as the one described for France, but with an even more material impact. This performance reflects the Group's commercial momentum with the opening of new markets.
Latin America
Q1 revenue growth was +38.2%. Organic growth was +7.2%, also unfavourably impacted by the 2016 calendar effect. We recorded a positive 27.7% impact from currency evolution.
Commercial momentum remains very good in Brazil (more than 8% organic growth, with c. +4% from price increases despite the marked slowdown in inflation). For the record, on top of the calendar effect, activity from hospitals, laboratories and medical centers was very strong in Q1 2016 as a consequence of epidemics that impacted Brazil during its summer period.
Financial definitions
Organic growth in the Group's revenue is calculated excluding (i) the impacts of changes in the scope of consolidation of "major acquisitions" and "major disposals" (as defined in the Document de Base) in each of the periods under comparison, as well as (ii) the impact of exchange rate fluctuations.
