More than ever, we are investing to ensure profitable long-term growth. For example, our investment in Cegedim Santé is allowing us to respond to new public health challenges. And the Group is also adapting its Governance to the challenges of long-term value creation by forming an ESG Committee to focus on environmental, social, and governance issues.”

Analysis of business trends by division

Over the first nine months of 2021, the division’s reported revenues rose 4.2% like for like(1) compared with a year earlier to €211.5 million, almost matching the pace of growth in the first half.

Revenues got a boost from stronger growth in computerization activities for health insurers, bolstered by the resumption of project-based business, among other factors. While projects are resuming, they are having to take into consideration clients’ work-from-home arrangements, which are less conducive to change management.

Cegedim Santé is experiencing solid momentum, and Maiia, the appointment scheduling and teleconsultation business, doubled its revenues over the first nine months of 2021 compared with 2020. Lastly, the HR management outsourcing activity is also on the right track.

Over the first nine months of 2021, the division’s reported revenues rose 7.1% year on year and like for like(1), to €61.5 million.

Process digitalization and data exchange experienced growth across all sectors and began delivering several projects awarded in the first half of 2021.

People in France reduced their use of the healthcare system early in the year because of public health restrictions, which put a crimp on healthcare flow business related to reimbursements.

Over the first nine months of 2021, revenues rose 15.8% like for like(1) compared with 9M 2020 to €66.5 million.

Data activities experienced strong growth against the backdrop of the pandemic. In July, Cegedim rolled out its real-world database in the Italian market.

On the back of very strong growth in the third quarter, digital communications for pharmacies in France posted a 9M 2021 performance on a par with its showing over the same period in 2019. Futuramedia, a digital communication solutions expert, is rolling out its offering in UK pharmacies.

Over the first nine months of 2021, the division’s revenues came to €34.4 million, down 4.3% like for like(1) compared with the same period in 2020. The trend over nine months was in line with the H1 2021 trend.

A significant portion of this division’s business is providing services for insurance companies and mutual insurance providers, so it took a hit from public health restrictions due to the Covid-19 pandemic that caused people in France to reduce their use of the healthcare system.

Over the first nine months of 2021, the division’s revenues came to €2.0 million, down 23.9% like for like(1) compared with the same period in 2020.
