Bertrand Dumazy, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Edenred, said: “With revenue up by more than 20%, Edenred has had another very positive quarter, in line with the performance recorded over the last two years. This growth is the result of continued market penetration, particularly in the SME segment, and reflects the relevance of our employee benefit solutions and our new employee engagement offering, which enable companies to enhance their capacity to attract and retain top talent. The strong performance of Reward Gateway, our new employee engagement platform, leaves us with no doubt that the platform will be successfully rolled out in Belgium, France and Italy. In Mobility, the acquisition of Spirii will enhance our Beyond Fuel offering, enabling us to provide even more effective support to fleet managers, particularly as they oversee the transition to electric vehicles. Thanks to this excellent start to the year and to Edenred’s capacity to fully leverage the power of its digital platform, we are very optimistic about the rest of the year to come.” |
