Positive organic growth in France and internationally
Organic growth in France over the 3rd quarter (+3%) is in line with the Group’s performance over the 1st semester, tempered by the difficult economic context. The Group continues to implement cost and revenue synergies from the recently acquired OpenWork, STA and Prium.
Freelance.com's international activities showcase their first positive organic growth since the 1st quarter of 2023. This performance is attributable to the gradual stabilization of Helvetic Payroll.
We remain cautious regarding both its French and international outlooks given the uncertain macroeconomic context.
remained tempered by the difficult economic context, in line with the second half of 2023. The acquisitions of OpenWork and STA have multiplied the sales of the Group's French portage salarial division by 2.6x in the first quarter. We expect to achieve the bulk of anticipated cost synergies over the next 18 months.
As foreseen, organic growth in the international scope (-7%) was impacted by a strong like-for-like first half 2023.
2024 outlook
Organic growth over the 9 months that ended 30 September 2024 is in line with the Group’s full-year target. We remain cautious regarding both French and international outlooks given the uncertain macroeconomic context.
The acquisitions of OpenWork on 1 September 2023, STA on 11 January 2024 and Prium on 1 October 2024 propel Freelance.com’s combined sales above the billion-euro milestone and strengthens our position in the external talent management market.
