Estelle Brachlianoff , Chief Executive Officer of the Group, declared: 

“We began 2024 with strong demand for our services, which resulted in significant revenue growth of 3.9%. This demand is particularly strong in our booster activities, and in particular water technologies, where turnover increased by 15% with orders up 50%. Our core water and waste businesses also recorded solid organic growth.

We continued to demonstrate our technological leadership and our innovative approach to providing our customers with the water service of the future, notably through the renewal of the flagship contract with the Syndicat des Eaux de l'Île-de-France, worth total of 4 billion euros, and to find the solutions that allow us today to be ready to fight against emerging pollutants, such as PFAS, in drinking water in the United States and France.

This commercial dynamic combined with strict financial discipline made it possible to increase our EBITDA by 5.7% and our current EBIT by 11.1%. Very good results, in line with the strategic priorities of the GreenUP plan, which allow us to fully confirm our objectives for the entire financial year.”
