IPSOS GROUP- Revenues for the first quarter of 2010 reach up to 236.9 million euros

IPSOS achieved a successful first quarter in 2010 with an impressive growth rate of 14.3%.  Total revenues for the first quarter reached 236.9 million euros compared to 207.3 million in 2009 for the same quarter. This impressive growth is attributed to the positive currency effects and to the changes in the scope of activities along with the return to organic growth reaching 6%.
Ipsos produced this excellent performance drawing on the four resources that leverage and drive its policy of sustainable growth: the quality of its client relationships, the expertise and commitment of its teams, its determination to employ coherent methodologies producing useful, relevant and understandable results for its clients, and the real strength of its innovation efforts, notably in the form of the recent creation of Ipsos Open Thinking Exchange (OTX), its global Research & Development centre whose purpose is to speed up the development of the new services and analytical modules that that better service its clients.
Ipsos is confident in its ability to return to significant and profitable growth in 2010. The prevailing uncertainty makes it impossible to confirm that the rate of growth at Ipsos will be ahead of the targets the company set at the beginning of the year; however IPSOS is confident that it will achieve solid performances for the remainder of 2010.
