Strong rebound of operationsAs
previously communicated, the group's activity recorded a record
level thanks to the continued rebound of events, but also thanks to
continued growth in the Public Relations and digital businesses, as
well as internationally with Sopexa. The integration in the second
half of the year of the sports activities acquired and consolidated
in the second half of the year is supporting growth with a gross
margin of €2.2 million.With operating conditions well under
control, the group is once again knowing favorable margins: current
operating income of 9.0 million euros for a gross margin of 86.1
million euros, i.e. nearly 11%. This performance is now organic,
and should not be compared with the previous year, which still
benefited from significant support measures and tax exemptions
(more than €2 million).After financial expenses and corporate
taxes, consolidated net income reached €6.1 million, of which €5.6
million were attributable to the Group.
Solid financial structureCash
flow, at €44 million at the end of the year, remained stable
compared to last year. The positive cash flow from operations
(€10.2 million) was used in particular for loan repayments (€4.2
million), payment of corporate income tax (€2.8 million) and an
unfavorable change in working capital at the close (€3.0 million).
Cash was also used to buy back treasury shares (€1.2 million).Bank
loans amounted to €27.8 million. The share of the EMP amounted to
€19.1 million. The consolidated financial position net of debt
amounted to €16.3 million, an improvement of €2,2 million compared
to 2021.With a largely positive financial net position and
shareholders' equity of €28 million, a dividend of €0.50 per share
will be proposed to the General Meeting, to be paid on Monday July
10, 2023.
2023 projectionsWith the
dimension reached today, the ambition is to form the first
worldwide communication consulting group, born and rase in Europe,
able to compete in an innovative way with the biggest
networks.Already present in more than 30 countries of the world,
and rich of as many different nationalities, Hopscotch is in
discussions with Vero Group which operates the same businesses in 6
countries of South East Asia, and employs 200 people.Hopscotch is
also strengthening its position in sectorial verticals such as
luxury, mobility, health, or food and lifestyle.Thanks to its solid
financial structure, the group will continue its strategy of
external growth turned towards the international market, and
towards the reinforcement in promising sectors such as
tourism.Finally, the group is constantly reinforcing its CSR
conviction and knowledge: multi-labeled, including EcoVadis
Platinum label (less than 1% of the companies evaluated), Hopscotch
devotes increasing resources to develop its capacities in these
fields.
HOPSCOTCH Groupe will publish its Q1 2023
revenues on May 4th, 2023, after the market close.
