MAIN OBSERVATIONS
In the second quarter of 2013, Valtech has recorded consolidated revenue of € 36.5 million, up by 12.1% compared to the same quarter last year. At constant exchange rates, organic growth increased to 12.6%. The past quarter has witnessed an acceleration of growth in almost all geographic areas, a phenomenon even more sensitive in Northern Europe and the United States.
At the end of the first half of 2013, Valtech's revenue amounted to € 71.8 million, up by 9.6% (+9.8% at constant exchange rates).
Sebastian Lombardo, President and CEO, said: "The acceleration of our growth in the second quarter of 2013 is a testament to the success, quarter after quarter, of the transformation of the group in digital and technology marketing despite a lethargic global economic environment. We are beginning to reap the benefits of our investments, especially in the United States, an area that shows more than 20% growth since the beginning of the year (adjusted for the impact of the non-strategic SAP contract sold in October 2012). This strong performance and favourable outlook for H2 confirm the group's ability to continue to improve its operational performance."

United States
The United States has achieved quarterly revenue of € 10.5 million, up 9.2% (+11.2% at constant exchange rates).

Excluding the impact of the sale of this contract, the American subsidiary grew by 20.6% in Q2 2013.
Southern Europe
Southern Europe's revenue amounted to € 9.4 million, up 8.7%. The group witnessed particularly strong growth, despite unfavourable calendar and comparison base effects, particularly sensitive on this area. This performance reflects the success of the reorganization carried out in late 2012 and the gradual transformation of the group to digital.
Rest of the world
In the rest of the world, growth increased to 13.4% (+19.5% at constant exchange rates). The rise of digital marketing projects across all geographic areas and the deployment of technology platforms allow to feed the growth of the Indian teams.
