Capgemini confirmed its forecasts for the year after revenue
grew in the third quarter despite a gradual slowdown that was also
seen in previous quarters.
The French consulting and technology group on Tuesday posted
revenue of 5.48 billion euros ($5.87 billion) for the three months
to the end of September, up 2.3% at constant currency and 2%
organically.
Europe excluding France accounted for the lion's share of
revenue, contributing EUR1.63 billion to the total. Asia-Pacific
and Latin America revenue grew 7.6% at constant exchange rates to
EUR518 million, accounting for the smallest contribution for group
revenue.
Analysts had forecast revenue of EUR5.497 billion, according to
FactSet.
Bookings grew 1% at constant currency to EUR5.275 billion, with
a book-to-bill ratio of 0.96, a strong performance given the usual
seasonality of bookings, the company said.
Customers are increasingly focusing on projects with a faster
payback, such as those that boost operational efficiency, which in
turn drives the steady growth of the company's innovative offers,
Capgemini said.
For the year, the company continues to estimate
constant-currency revenue growth between 4% and 7%, an operating
margin of 13% to 13.2%, and organic free cash flow of around EUR1.8
billion.
