Performance analysis – third quarter 2012
At €98 million, revenues generated by the Technology Consulting activities decreased by 3.4% over the quarter, or 4.1% excluding the effect of exchange rates. They were mainly impacted by the negative trends in the Financial Services and Telecom sectors and a challenging context in Belgium.
Counterbalancing this, the IT Service Excellence offer (including IT Service Management) performed well, especially in Spain.
Standing at €19 million, revenues from Business Consulting decreased 4.8%. This was mainly due to a lower performance in the Scandinavian region, which was partly offset by a positive currency effect. The Cloud and Mobility offers are generating new opportunities for this activity, which benefits from an upstream positioning on major IT transformation projects.
Group headcount evolution and utilisation rate
With 4,661 employees as per September 30th 2012, the Group’s total headcount decreased by 99 consultants, as a consequence of the business environment. The number of non-billable employees was reduced by 22 over the quarter, allowing further improvement of the ratio of billable employees over the total number of employees.
The utilisation rate of internal resources1 stood at 83% over the third quarter of 2012, compared to 84% over the same period in 2011 and 82% in the first half of 2012.
Share capital and financial position
Devoteam repurchased €0.2 million worth of its shares over the quarter. To comply with regulatory requirements, the Management Board reduced the capital by cancelling 400,065 shares, bringing the treasury shares level at 6.8% of the share capital as per October 31st, 2012. As a result, the share capital of Devoteam now amounts to €1,527,761, representing 10,081,335 shares with a nominal value of €0.15 each.
The financial position of the Group remains sound. The Group reimbursed on November 5th, 2012, the last instalment of its OBSAR debt raised in 2006 amounting to €18.6 million.
Outlook
The Group confirmed its guidance for 2012. The Eagle transformation plan, presented on July 3rd, 2012, aims at bringing, by 2015, the Group’s profitability close to 10%. According to the initial plan, the Group entered the rollout phase, which will continue over 2013 and 2014.
Next release: Annual results - February 26th, 2013 after closing of the Paris Stock Exchange.
