in €M Q1 2014 Q1 2013
France 202.2 187.1 +8.0%
International 170.9 141.1 +21.1%
Total 373.1 328.2 +13.7%

Confirmation of the excellent start for 2014, as SYNERGIE posts a consolidated turnover of €373.1 million (+13.7%), a sharp increase relative to 2013.

As such, the Group is outperforming the market in most of the countries where it is currently present.

In France, the turnover is equal to €202.2 million, i.e. growth of 8% over the quarter, in a market in which seconded personnel declined by 3.5% (source: PRISME).

The International development is maintaining its excellent momentum, in Canada, Australia and in Northern Europe, where the network's activity was already high in 2013.

This is also the case in Southern Europe, where the resumption of growth was already visible in the second half of last year.

As such, after having successfully integrated the SOLEMPLEO network (€3.1 million over the quarter), SYNERGIE Spain posted 54% growth (+35% with constant perimeter) and is expected to exceed €100 million in 2014.

Moreover, significant improvements were seen in Great Britain (+27.5% with constant currency), Germany (+19.1%), Belgium (+12.7%) and Italy (+12.6%), countries that are fully benefiting from their respective economic rebounds.

The International turnover now represents 46% of the Group's consolidated turnover.

These performances are indicative of the relevance of the strategic choices decided by the General Management and of the significant efforts undertaken in rapidly expanding sectors such as aeronautics, renewable energies and specialised tertiary business lines, all of which are in addition to the Group's constant development both within and outside of France.

Upcoming appointments:

- General meeting on Wednesday, 18 June 2014
- Publication of the 2nd quarter 2014 turnover on Wednesday, 23 July 2014, after the market closing
