Eric Gareau, CEO of Claranova commented: "Claranova's
recovery remains on track with growth in revenue of 2% in the third
quarter. This positive momentum reflected strong performances by
Avanquest and myDevices, while PlanetArt continued to improve the
effectiveness of its marketing investments. By continuing to focus
on profitability, we expect to achieve our target for the EBITDA
margin of around 10% for FY 2023-2024. Claranova is now entering a
new chapter in its development. After renewing its governance and
management, and rescheduling the maturity of its debt, Claranova is
now well positioned to seize profitable growth opportunities and
create value for its shareholders, priorities that will be the key
focus of the new strategic plan to be unveiled in the coming
months."
PlanetArt: a new path for virtuous and profitable
growth
PlanetArt, the Group's the personalized e-commerce division,
reported Q3 revenue of €61m, down -2% (up +2% at actual exchange
rates), bringing total revenue for the first 9 months to €296m (-3%
at constant exchange rates and -6% at actual exchange rates). In
line with the Group's strategy, its teams continued their efforts
to improve the return on marketing investments.
Avanquest: a mature business model delivering an excellent
performance
Continuing the trend of the first half, Avanquest's quarterly
sales rose 8% to €31m (+7% at actual exchange rates). For the first
nine months, the software publishing division reported revenue of
€92m, up from €86m year on year, representing growth of 12% (+7% at
actual exchange rates).
On that basis, core activities which now account for 90% of the
division's sales (vs. 82% one year earlier) and consist of sales of
proprietary SaaS software, all registered growth over the period3
and notably + 38% for Adaware, +6% for Soda PDF software and +4%
for InPixio. This means that non-core activities now account for
only 10% of sales, or €9m at the end of March, 2024, down 43% over
the period.
myDevices: on course for profitability with a continuing
expanded range of solutions
myDevices, the Group's IoT division, reported Q3 sales of €2m,
up 18% (+18% at actual exchange rates) year-on-year. This
performance has benefited from revenue generated by deployments
with partner companies. As a result, for the first nine months,
revenue rose 54% to €7m (+48% at actual exchange rates).
At the end of March, 2024, myDevices had 210 partners and €3.4m
in annual recurring revenue (ARR), an increase of 10% (+5% at
actual exchange rates) from the first nine months of FY
2022-2023.
