Gianbeppi Fortis, Chief Executive Officer of Solutions30, stated: “In the first quarter of 2024, Solutions30 continued to benefit from strong growth in the Benelux, with the continued ramp-up of fiber-related activities, good momentum in Poland, and solid growth in Germany. Our energy transition activities are booming and have shown themselves to be powerful growth drivers, notably in France. We are also maintaining a high level of selectivity in some of our more mature markets, such as the fiber markets in France and Spain, systematically prioritizing profitability over volume. Excluding Italy, where the situation with our main customer should return to normal over the course of the year, allowing us to resume normal activity, our first-quarter growth was +6.7%. With much-improved visibility in Italy and in Belgium, where we now believe we are in a position to minimize the impact of the upcoming elections, and the acceleration of our growth in Germany, we expect full-year revenue growth to exceed that of the first quarter. We also expect margins to continue improving towards their normative double-digit level.
