Strong growth and improved profitability ensured for the fiscal years 2016 and 2017
Taking into account the level of work in progress and the dynamism of order-taking over the past year, MAISONS FRANCE COMFORT confirms a double digit growth in its production for financial years 2016 and 2017.
In 2016, under the volume effect, operational profitability will improve considerably. To this volume effect is added a gross margin effect in 2017, thus opening the way to a gradual return to a sustainable operating margin.
Beyond the new areas for development that the Group has initiated (renovation, bundle offer for housing associations, land development), MAISONS FRANCE CONFORT will be pursuing a strong commercial dynamic with broader offering combined with new web tools and marketing to strengthen its leader position.
Next press release: 2016 Sales, on 7 February 2017 after stock exchange closing.
