Capgemini Group reports Q3 2011 consolidated revenues of €2,378 million, up 13.0% on published revenues for the same period last year. Like-for-like growth (i.e. at constant Group structure and exchange rates) is 4.7%, with the difference between the two rates mainly due to acquisitions by the Group during the last 12 months (particularly CPM Braxis in Brazil and Prosodie in France).
This 4.7% growth in revenues, on a like-for-like basis, breaks down as follows:
· by business, the so-called “cyclical” activities (Consulting Services, Technology Services and Local Professional Services) continued to report sustained growth (+6.1% on average), with the greatest increase recorded by Technology Services (+7.2%). Outsourcing Services reported an average rise of 2.7%, while BPO enjoyed remarkable growth (+20%).
· by region, North America increased 5.0%; France – which retains its position as the Group’s leading country – reported improved revenue growth (+7.8%) on the first-half of the year; the United Kingdom and Ireland region, still affected by public sector spending cuts, reported more moderate growth (+1.3%), while the other regions reported average growth of 10.4% (12.4% for the Nordic countries). Benelux was the only region to report a contraction in revenues (-5.7%), reflecting the economic crisis which continues to affect the Netherlands.
