(*) Unaudited data

The group's consolidated turnover on September 30, 2024, came to 221.5 million euros (+22.9%) and gross margin to 72.0 million euros (+14.1%). The third quarter therefore continues the observed trend. This quarter's particularly high turnover is directly linked to the events business, boosted by last summer's sporting events, which traditionally generates less gross margin than Consulting activities.

A large part of this growth stems from the integration and consolidation of Tourism activities acquired last year: they contributed 6.8 million euros to the increase in gross margin, representing just over 10% growth.

At constant scope, the group achieved an organic gross margin growth of 3.5%, quite evenly split between consulting in communications and event production activities, with international business (ex Sopexa) remaining fairly stable this year.

The group remains cautious in its expectations for the end of the year due to the lack of visibility linked to the economic context and to the return to normality after this summer's sporting events.

HOPSCOTCH Groupe will publish its turnover for the 4th quarter of 2024 on Tuesday, February 4, 2025, after market close.
