* Unaudited data
Aubay had a very good third quarter, recording revenue of €120.9 million, up +8.4% on a like-for-like basis. The level of activity remains high thanks to continued strong customer demand.
Revenue in France amounted to €61.9 million, up +10.9% and reflects a remarkable performance despite one less invoicing day over the quarter. Demand from major accounts is still very well oriented. Recruitment is accelerating.
Internationally, consolidated revenue amounted to €59.0 million, up +5.8% despite an unfavorable calendar (-1 day) and a demanding basis for comparison. Demand also remains strong and the issue remains the availability of consultants.
Over the first nine months of the year, organic growth was +10.1%.
As expected, net recruitment accelerated during the 3th quarter with the workforce increased to 7,625 employees compared to 7,442 at June 30, 2022, i.e. +183 new talents within the group. Aubay confirms its attractiveness in a competitive human resources market, particularly internationally where talent shortages may appear from time to time.
The group continues to take care to balance its wage inflation with the increases in its selling prices.
In this buoyant market, the activity rate of consultants remained at a high level and stood at 95.9% against 95.0% a year earlier.
Business outlook for 2022
In this still dynamic market context and despite an unfavorable calendar effect on the 2th semester, Aubay is confident in its ability to reach the upper limit of its revenue target of €513 million.
Good control of the wage inflation/selling price couple also makes it possible to tighten the operating margin on activity upwards between 10% et 10,5% against previously 9.5% and 10.5%.
