2021 activity in line with targets set

For full-year 2021, revenue came to €263.4m, up +12.0% compared to 2020 and +6.1% compared to 2019, in line with the target set of exceeding the performances recorded in 2019.

In Services, activity grew +13.9% in Q4 2021 and +12.4% for full-year 2021.

Infotel has confirmed its strong presence in the Banking – Finance sector which accounts for 40.2% of revenue, particularly with the rollout of digitalization programs at BPCE, ARKEA and BNP Paribas. The Industrial sector totals 23.8% of revenue with, in particular, the recovery in investments at Airbus. Services – Transport which account for 19.7% of activity continue to expand, with the confirmation of Infotel among the 4 major suppliers at Air France.

Strong guidance for 2022

New clients within several major accounts and the significant ramp-up at certain Top 10 clients point to a very favorable start to the year for Infotel.

The very active Banking, Insurance and Services sectors, both in terms of the digitalization of applications and the development in information systems, offer considerable expansion prospects for the Group.

The launch of an offshore offering as well as partnerships formed with schools to remedy the persistent pressure on recruitment, offer the Group a continuous flow of new talent.

Thanks to these favorable factors and a solid relationship of trust with its major clients, Infotel anticipates a year of growth in 2022.
