The change was implemented during the fourth quarter, with retroactive impact for the full year.

Business & Administrations organic growth was up +11.5%, impacted by the accounting change, but +14.9% excluding this effect, driven by an increase in project works and successful negotiations on price adjustments in Energy & Resources, impact of the new openings and strong pricing in Corporate Services and mining in Latin America and Brazil, and strong performance in India and South East Asia, in particular in the tech sector.

Healthcare & Seniors revenue was +6.2% organically, with good development in India and China, partly offset by a decrease in Brazil as a result of the exit of several low performing contracts.

Education organic growth was +35.1%, with all schools reopened in China and strong volume growth in India.

The increase in profitability in Fiscal 2023 was driven by operating leverage from higher revenue, especially in North America, combined with rigorous inflation management including sustained price increases and mitigation actions, improved supply chain economics, and disciplined corporate cost management.

  • North America underlying operating profit increased by +23.6% and the underlying operating margin was up +30 bps to 5.6%, despite strong inflationary pressure, mobilization costs in Healthcare and additional investments to support growth. Leverage on the volume recovery, combined with operational efficiencies including supply chain optimization, improved workforce retention and recruitment, labor scheduling and attendance forecasting contributed to the increase in profitability.
  • In Europe, the -0.5% decrease in underlying operating profit (or +2.2% increase excluding the currency effect) resulted in a margin of 3.7%, down -20 bps. In a highly inflationary environment, and despite strong mitigation efforts, margins were temporarily affected in public contracts in France, Italy and Belgium where price adjustments lagged food cost inflation. In addition, the Testing Centers contract had high margin flow through and stopped during the third quarter of last year.
  • In Rest of the World, underlying operating profit was up +23.1% and the margin up +40 bps to 4.7% thanks to operating leverage in most countries, and successful price negotiations in Australia.
