MILANO (AIMnews.it) - Gpi closed 2017, a year characterised by eight M & A transactions, with revenues of € 180 million, 32% more than the previous year. Revenues from abroad increased (from 1.6 million in 2016 to 13 million last year), while recurring revenues - 133.3 million - now account for 74% of the consolidation. The Information Systems business area grew by 75% to 78 million, that of Administrative Services for Health by 7% to 81.2 million while the other business areas by 33% to 20.7 million. The group's EBITDA increased by 29% to 25.9 million and net profit by 26% to 8.2 million. "The results of the year confirm the efficiency of the strategic choices made that led the group to record in the three year period 2015-2017 a CAGR of 35% in revenues driven by an organic CAGR of 20%, in line with the growth path outlined at the time of access to the market - said AD Fausto Manzana - These results, however, due to the timing of the acquisitions made in 2017, include in a small part the economic results of the new acquisitions, whose benefits will fully manifest themselves in the current year". The net financial position is 52.5 million, with equity of 64.3 million. The BoD will propose to the Shareholders' Meeting, called for April 30th, both a dividend of € 0.30 per share and the request for admission to listing on the MTA, Star segment. "Access to the MTA market, in compliance with the commitments undertaken with our investors, will allow us to further expand the company's visibility and strengthen its competitive position", explained Manzana. And for 2018 "there is a strategy characterised by a further increase in revenues and ebitda, thanks to the full implementation of the activities of the companies acquired and the organic growth in terms of new contracts for which the group has laid a solid foundation in the course of 2017" the company concludes.
