“As announced in October 2021, Q1 FY22 was the inaugural quarter of our “OneESI 2024 – Focus to Grow” 3-year plan. We rolled out a holistic transformation including, for the first time in ESI’s history, a streamlined approach to global management of sales. At 6.6% (5.3% cer), Q1 FY22 growth is in line with the guidance issued in early March and constitutes a notable performance, demonstrating our ability to maintain solid growth momentum while conducting ambitious changes. This performance has been achieved in a challenging macroeconomic and geopolitical context, which is further testimony to the strength and resilience of our solutions. I am impressed by our team’s energy, resiliency, and commitment to our OneESI plan as we undertake to enhance both growth and profitability to deliver long-term value to our shareholders.”

ESI Group now presents its revenues pro forma excluding special projects (public grants for R&D projects).

In the first quarter of its fiscal year (January 1, 2022 - March 31, 2022), ESI recorded revenues of €58.3m, up to 6.6% (+5.3% constant exchange rate - cer); at the upper end of the range of the communicated guidance (+4% to +6%).

Licensing revenue increased by +7.1% (+5.8% cer). The growth was led by the Repeat Business with an increase of +8.5%. Services revenues were stable at +1.7% (+0.6% cer).

ESI experienced growth across nearly all industries over the quarter, with the Automotive industry continuing to be one of the key drivers of ESI Group’s performance along with the 3 other focus industries (Aerospace, Heavy Industry, and Energy) which represented more than 90% of the company's revenue.

Geographically, the Asian region led the growth, at +11.5% cer and +11.7% cer for its licenses business. This growth in the Asian region was primarily driven by customers for whom ESI is a key strategic partner, and further growth potential was fostered by ongoing account management initiatives. The EMEA and Americas regions grew respectively at +3.1% cer and +1.2% cer.
