**Note: Sales
is not a relevant indicator for assessing activity in our business,
because it is greatly impacted by changing sea and air freight rates,
fuel surcharges, exchange rates (especially versus the $), etc.
Variations in the number of shipments, the volumes shipped and—in terms
of the Group's finances—gross profit are relevant indicators.
The very strong growth in the number of shipments in Q3 (+25.4%) arose from sustained organic growth (+6.4%) and the acquisitions made in Q4 2014 (ECS & GAF) and in Q2 2015 (LCI) (+19.0%).
Gross Profit increased 29.4% in Q3.
Organic growth was 11.2% (7.0% at constant exchange rates).
Acquisitions contributed 18.2% to the increase.
