Quadient shares opened lower on Wednesday in Paris, following the publication of quarterly sales in line with expectations.
The French group generated consolidated revenue of €258m in Q1, down 1.1% as reported and 2.5% on an organic basis.
In a press release, the business interaction automation specialist said it had suffered from "headwinds" during the quarter.
It emphasized that this situation was exacerbated by a "particularly difficult" US macroeconomic environment.
However, the company assured that its current EBIT was growing organically, supported by positive operating margin trends in its three divisions (digital, lockers, and mail).
Despite what AlphaValue analysts described as a 'challenging' start to the year, Quadient has maintained its 2025 targets, namely an acceleration in organic growth for both revenue and current EBIT compared with the growth rates recorded in 2024.
However, its share price was punished in early trading on Wednesday following this announcement, with the former Neopost losing nearly 5% in a Paris market that was up 0.3%.
