Good evening. Thank you for attending it. It's about the revenue in Q1 2026 first quarter. So the revenue on this first quarter stood at €159.6 million, a slight decrease by 1% on reported data, 0.8% like for like. The difference between both is the currency impact only. There's no scope effect on this quarter. So this decline is mainly explained by negative comparison effects at the cloud and support business unit, and more specifically in its outsourcing activities. We had anticipated it. It's not a surprise. It comes from two main points, I would say. The first one is the end of this significant outsourcing contract that we had talked during 2025 and that ended on April 1st last year. So we still have this quarter, this comparison for this first quarter. And the second one is that we had a very strong trading period last year on first quarter that you may remember had boosted sales on Q1 2025. And we don't have this strong trading period this year. So as you can see on the left hand side, the revenue at the cloud and support business unit declined by 25%. Otherwise, you can see that we experienced some growth in France, especially in the business services activities, which are mainly HR and e-business. We'll come back when we go to the various business units. Also, it's worth noting that we experienced growth in international subsidiaries in the health and provident insurance, as well as in the healthcare professional business units we will develop later on. Also, it is worth noting too that the group sticks to its outlook for the full year and the like-for-like growth over 2% and an adjusted operating income increase over 2026. In this next slide, you can see that, as I mentioned before, the impact between like-for-like growth and reported growth is mainly currency impact, and you can see the bridge with the various business units on the right-hand side. Now you know that we present the group with business units. And I just put them here as a reminder for you. I think you're getting used to it. And now I suggest we deep dive into each of these business units. The first one is the health and provident insurance, which was about 26% of the revenue on Q1, with a total revenue of 41.6 million euros on this first quarter. A reported growth of 0.3%, so quite stable. You can see on the software business, It's actually two main differences. One main difference between France and the UK. In France we have seen a slight drop in project-based revenue. This is mainly due to projects being delayed to the end of the year or next year. And it's worth noting also that the UK reported a very robust growth in the first quarter. We had talked about it in 2025 with some new clients and new projects at the software in the UK. So it's a slight decrease of 1.5% like for like on the software activity in the Hessen Provident Insurance Business Unit. Worth noting that The third-party payer activity reported a strong growth, 7.4% growth on this first quarter. This is due to two main reasons. First one is that the trend that it had experienced in 2025 is still valid, especially for its threat detection solution. And also, there's been a new client started in Q1, which explained this strong growth during the quarter. Last activity in the health and private insurance is the BPO. So you can see the BPO is slightly decreasing on this quarter. We had talked about this trend in 2025, especially during the earnings release. This activity is impacted by the decrease in the number of beneficiaries managed by our clients in BPO. Still it's a relative decrease of 2.5% reported and like for like over the quarter. So the revenue went to 41.6 million this quarter and quite stable slightly growth. Our second business unit is the business services unit. So you can see it's 30% of the revenue generated in Q1 for the group. It's 48 million euros, a growth of more than 3% reported in like for like. You can see in its software activity, which is mainly HR software activity, a growth of 3% on this quarter. You have seen the trend last year, gaining some contracts, and on this first quarter we have the impact of starting up those contracts, one in 2025. The second activity is the e-business activity, which has experienced a 3% growth on this quarter, reported 3.4% like for like. We had also mentioned this also. You know that in France, there's going to be an e-voicing reform taking place on September 1st. this year so we can see an acceleration in momentum for photos company for the company which are interested in our services so um so which explains this growth um and the last um activity for the business services is the bpo um which reported the 3.5 percent growth on this quarter uh many due to um due to the gain of new clients during this first quarter So overall, as I mentioned, the revenue for business services stood at 48 million euros on this first quarter and the growth of 3.1% reported, 3.2% like for like. The third business unit is the healthcare professionals, so it was worth about 20% of the revenue of the group on Q1, a total revenue of 32.1 million euros on first quarter, a slight decrease of 2.7% reported, 2.2% like for like. The first activity is the CG Dim Santé group that was just a very slight decrease going to 18.9 to 18.7 million euros on this first quarter. This slight decrease is mainly on its legacy solutions due to the churn as we have some professionals getting retired. But it's worth noting there's been some solid growth on the Maya Suite solutions and also on the Claude Bernard database. On the doctors outside France, you can see a solid 4% growth over the quarter. Main boost is coming from Spain. You may remember that we had started on in Q4 2025 and it's keeping on on this beginning of the year of the project in the Balearic Islands. Also, the new product in Belgium is getting traction on this first quarter after it had been certificated in late 2025. So this has both main reasons for this growth at the doctors outside France. Last activity on the healthcare professionals that activity is the pharmacy software activity, so you can see this decrease of 8% reported 6.7% like for like this is mainly due to to the French operation. as the sales were posed during the 2025 restructuring plan that we had mentioned on the second half of 2025. However, also worth noting that the UK has continued its upward trend that began in late 2025 with the gain of some new pharmacies in the UK. The fourth business unit that you are used to is the data and marketing business unit. It's almost 90% of the revenue in Q1, with a total revenue of 30.2 million euros during this quarter. It's a growth of 1.1% for the business unit. You can see the first activity is the data activity, which is experiencing the same trend that it had in 2025, meaning that we can see some growth in France, but still some challenging business abroad that explains this slight decrease in revenue for the data. that stood up at 13.6 million this quarter compared to 13.8 million last year. The second activity is the marketing activity, which is still experiencing some growth, 3.1% reported and like for like, despite a very demanding comparison with 2025, which was already very demanding compared to 2024. So still a very good trend. And part of this growth in the first quarter is due to its new Spanish subsidiary, which started generating revenue this quarter. So it's worth noting and I think we will talk about it on the next quarters also. It will be a good part of the growth this year. Last is the cloud and support business unit that I had mentioned at the beginning of this call. So you can see that it was a bit less than 5% of the revenue of the group in the first quarter, with a total revenue of 7.7 million euros. So this decrease of 25%, as I mentioned, is due to two main demanding comparison effects. First one is the end of this major outsourcing contract that ended last year on March 31st, creating a tough comparison effect for us in the Q1 2026. And also this strong trading period that we had experienced last year and that supported a very strong growth for the group in Q1 last year. So this was planned and actually anticipated. So that does not affect our outlook for 2026. As I mentioned, we stick to our view on the like for like growth above 2% on the full year on sales and revenue. And also, we still expect, of course, to increase our recurring operating income and operating income This is the financial agenda that you know. So we'll have our shareholders general meeting on June 12th, the first half revenue on July 23rd, and the earnings of this first half on September 24th, and Q3 revenue on October 22nd. So that was pretty much our message today. I suggest we switch to questions if you have some. And as usual, please raise your hand so that I can give you the floor for your questions. Amadou, the floor is yours for your question.

Equity Research Analyst

Thank you for having me. So for me, it's two questions, please. First one is for the marketing segment. Where's the growth coming from? Is it still Spain or is it in France or expanding or are you expanding to other locations? And the second one is, I saw that you published your universal registration document, your annual report in French. Are you still publishing it in English? Is that expected to come? Thank you.

Company Presenter (CFO/IR)

Yes, sure. Thank you for mentioning it. I had forgotten to mention it. So yeah, we released our universal registration document in French last week. And we are in the process of the translation of the English version that will be available, I guess, beginning of May for all the investors. So yeah, for sure, you'll have the English version quite soon. On your first question, on the marketing, the growth is coming both from Spain and France. Marketing is in France, its main activity, and now it's expanding in Spain because we believe the market is very interesting. It looks like the market in France about 15 to 20 years ago, and we can go on this market with our clients in France. uh it's uh it's very interesting for us um i would say that the growth on this quarter is half half half france half half spain um but there are no other location it's coming from thank you Are there any questions? I guess we are already seeing each other. Ah, Amira. Yes, Amira, the floor is yours.

speaker
Amira
Equity Research Analyst

Thank you for the presentation. I have just one question about the e-business segment. Given the upcoming electronic invoicing reform in September 2026, how much tangible backlog or signed business do you already have and when should we expect this to translate into a visible acceleration in revenues?

speaker

Company Presenter (CFO/IR)

Yeah, you want to answer or you want me to answer? So I don't have the backlog here what we have for the moment is that people which are signing signing projects so it's mainly a many project that we have in revenue on the on the business regarding the electronic invoicing. We have some some run effect on starting on on next year. This is really what I can say if you want some to add something.

Head of E-Business

Oh, we plan, we think that in 27, we should have a double digit growth on this business, due to the fact that the run the regular revenue coming from the flows would be produced. So the expectation is more than 10% growth. Today it's difficult to measure because we have some estimation of the number of invoices received and sent by our clients. The thing is that as we were as it was expected, unfortunately, most of our clients are not, are late in the process of applying the reform. So, the reform should start on September 1st, then there are three months for all companies to apply the reform. We think that part of our clients won't be ready at the time. So we don't know exactly what will be the consequences for them. That's the reason why we are careful on some estimation of the revenue for next year. But anyhow, it will be a double digit growth.
