| Revenue (€m)1 | 2026 | 2025 | Variation | Variation at constant scope and exchange rate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1st quarter | 785.6 | 766.1 | 2.5% | 3.4% |
| TOTAL | 785.6 | 766.1 | 2.5% | 3.4% |
The Group's consolidated revenue for the first quarter of 2026 amounted to € 785.6 million1, up 2.5% compared to 2025 (+3.6% TDA organic growth2). This increase confirms the signs of improvement in business activity observed since the end of 2025, both in France and internationally, despite a still uncertain economic environment.
In France, revenue for the quarter amounted to € 432.1 million, up 3.5%, while International shows growth of 3.3% at constant scope and exchange rates (+3.7% TDA organic growth) with a turnover of € 353.4 million representing 45% of the total activity of the quarter.
Temporary work : +3.6% TDA organic growth
Improved business activity both in France and internationally
In Temporary staffing (86.8% of total activity), first quarter revenue amounted to € 682.3 million3 up 2.5% compared to the same quarter 2025 (+3.6% TDA organic growth).
France : +3.3% organic growth
In France (52.4% of the division's activity), quarterly revenue reached €357,7 million, up 3.3% compared to the same period in 2025, in a market that grew by 0.3% year-over-year4. Activity was primarily driven by industry, particularly automotive and aerospace, while construction and retail remained sluggish. After a stable fourth quarter of 2025, this return to growth is an encouraging performance despite the continued mixed outlook for demand.
International : +3.8 TDA organic growth
Internationally (47.6% of the division's activity), quarterly revenue reached € 324.7 million, up by 3.4% at constant scope and exchange rates (+3.8% TDA organic growth), with satisfactory performance in key geographic locations.
In Italy, OPENJOBMETIS' revenue for the quarter increased by 2.9% compared to the same quarter of 2025. The United States, meanwhile, continued its commercial redeployment momentum initiated in the fourth quarter of 2025, with organic revenue growth of 9.1%, thus returning to its 2024 level. In Spain, business remains strong, with revenue up by 7.8%.
Airport services : +4.2% organic growth
Still strong
Airport activities (13.6% of total activity) generated revenue of € 106.7 million3, up by 3.2% (+4.2% organic growth). Quarterly activity remained at high levels, particularly in France (+4.7% organic growth) and the United Kingdom, despite international tensions, notably the war in the Middle East.
In a still uncertain market environment, the solid performance of the Group's activities during this quarter illustrates the quality of its service offering and the strength of its network in France and internationally, fully committed to achieving the Group's performance objectives.
