In the third quarter of 2022, Bilendi recorded consolidated revenues of €14.0 million, an increase of +41.9%. At constant exchange rates and on a pro forma basis, as if the acquisition of respondi had taken place on 1 January 2021, growth amounted to +3.3%.

International revenues grew by 48.5% during the period, to €11.4m, representing 81% of total sales for the quarter, despite the inflationary and macro-economic environment currently affecting Europe. The countries with the strongest growth were Spain, Belgium and the DACH region (Germany, Switzerland and Austria).

In France, revenue of €2.6m (19% of total turnover for the quarter), was up 18.4% (-15.5% on a pro forma basis). This trend is explained by a particularly calm summer, with a gradual return to growth expected in Q4 2022.

Over the first nine months of the year, Bilendi recorded revenues of €43.3 million, up +49.3% (+9.9% on a pro forma basis) compared to the same period last year. This result is even more remarkable as it represents almost 98.2% of revenue for the whole of 2021, confirming the relevance of Bilendi's operating model and growth strategy, even in a more challenging environment.

 

Confidence in Q4 2022, and reaffirmation of 2026 targets

In a more demanding general environment, the Group is confident that its business will continue to grow in the fourth quarter of 2022.

In this context, Bilendi reaffirms its ambition to reach a turnover of € 100 million by 2026, and an EBITDA of 20 to 25% of the turnover, i.e. € 20 to 25 million, combining organic development and targeted acquisitions.
