- The activity of the North area remains dynamic.
- Centre and South areas recorded sales decrease by 4.6 % and 5.4% respectively compared with the third quarter of last year. Manutan's turnover in France was cyclically impacted by the launch of the new information system.
- The activity of the East area remains stable in the third quarter, despite the discontinuation of operations in Russia. Adjusted for this, the area posted growth of 11.7% over the third quarter, confirming the trend of the first two quarters.
- The West area, driven in particular by strong performances in markets hardware and shelving, recorded an increase of 8.1% of its activity compared to the same quarter of the previous year and thus continues its growth.
With a still very solid financial position, the Group remains vigilant about the economic context. Short and medium term development efforts of sales are maintained as well as investments in information systems.
