Q4 Consolidated Revenue: €56.5 m

Q4 Organic Growth: + 18.1%

2019 Consolidated Revenue: €213.2 m

ANALYSIS
During 2019, Sword Group’s perimeter was globally stable. Only the acquisition of DataCo, completed in November, modified the perimeter.
In relation to the 2019 budget that forecasted organic growth of 12%, the Group largely outperformed during all four quarters.
The breakdown of organic growth at constant exchange rates is as follows:
Software: + 20.3% 
Services : + 20.8%
Total : + 20.7%

CONSOLIDATED ACCOUNTS

(1) Percentages calculated based on the figures in €K
(2) Taking into account the impact of IFRS 16
(3) Non audited figures

2020 OUTLOOK
These different elements enable SWORD GROUP to envisage organic growth of 12% with an EBITDA margin of 13% for 2020.

This growth is confirmed by the size and quality of the Group’s backlog.
