CEO Laurent Lenoir comments on the results:

“2019 has seen significant growth in our key geographies such as India and the US, supported by a number of growth investments. This strong performance was undermined by lower results in APAC and Latam leading to a mixed picture. Furthermore, we have actively reshaped our portfolio of activities to strengthen our core. Our new Leadership organisation is now in place to drive strategic implementation at an accelerated pace and to respond decisively to the challenges raised by the recent COVID-19 pandemic.”
