Q2 2023 revenue was €4.5 million, up +20% on Q2 2022. Year-to-date revenue for the first half of 2023 was €8.6m, up 20% from H1 2022.

The first half of 2023 was characterised by a rebalancing of business activity towards candidates financing their driving lessons themselves, now accounting for 42% of total revenue versus 30% over the same period in 2022.

Sales generated by candidates financing their lessons through personal training account schemes (so-called “CPF”) remained stable over the period, supported by the €500 contribution immediately available each year to full-time employees, but were significantly hampered by the more stringent digital identity verification measures introduced by the public authorities at the beginning of the year, which have made the registration process more complex.

The increase in sales paid for in cash, as opposed to sales invoiced at the end of the training cycle for candidates using the CPF, was beneficial from a working capital perspective.

The high level of driving lessons ordered in the 1st half of 2023, most of which will be produced over the rest of the year, should support sales activity in the second half.

 

 

As soon as the IPO was completed, the company launched a number of initiatives that were rolled out in H1 2023, in the following stages: 

  • increasing brand awareness: in April 2023, lePERMISLIBRE unveiled its new graphic identity as well as its new brand platform. This transformation was accompanied by an omnichannel campaign including posters in all major cities in France and TV adverts on the M6 Group's channels, together with online communications on social networks.
  • enhancing the offer: lePERMISLIBRE now offers an accelerated course, which responds to an increasing demand from applicants looking to obtain their licence very rapidly. Already available in more than 20 major cities, the company plans to roll out this accelerated training course more widely in the second half of the year.
  • insurance diversification: lePERMISLIBRE recently entered into a partnership with MAIF to launch a car insurance policy for drivers under 23 years of age who have just obtained their driving licence.

 

As a result of the development of its business activity and the recent advances it has made, lePERMISLIBRE is able to offer an increasingly comprehensive and complete product, thereby providing better support to its community of driving teachers and better meeting the needs of learner drivers, with a view to becoming the French leader in online driving instruction.

 

At 30 June 2023, the Company’s available cash was €7 million.
