Atos reported on its Q116 results on a very busy day for the TechMarketView team – our Little British Battler (LBB) Day. As a result, we kept our initial write-up short and sweet (see Atos: Currencies take sheen off strong start), but there is much more to add, particularly from a UK perspective.
As we previously highlighted, it was currency effects that dragged down growth at the global level… from a 15% increase at constant currency to a 1.6% organic revenue increase. At the UK level, the organic decline was 7.7% (from €485m to €447m) but was a deeper 9.6% at constant exchange rates. But this decline did not come as a surprise. We had always expected this dip in Q1 due to a number of one offs in the comparable period. Indeed, if we take the growth between Q114 ad Q16, it stands at 6%.
In UKHotViewsExtra, Georgina O'Toole delves into the factors impacting the Q1 results and highlights why we should see an improvement in the UK results in future quarters.
