Revenue reached €9,901 million, up 13.7% compared with 2023, including 9.2% growth related to acquisitions and 4.3% organic growth. The group continues to benefit from favourable trends in its markets, driven by sustained demand for services related to the energy transition and digital transformation.
Operating income was €712 million (+21.9% vs. 2023), a margin of 7.2%, up 50 basis points compared with 2023. This performance is driven by operational excellence, selectivity, pricing power and the accretive effect of acquisitions.
