Turnover in third-quarter 2005: back to growth

The Evialis Group reported turnover of €163.1 million in third-quarter 2005, an increase of 1.4%. This rise primarily reflects a pick-up in volumes in France, strong international performance, and lower raw materials prices, which returned to levels comparable with the same period in 2004. Turnover for the first nine months of the year totalled €470.7 million, against €508 million for the same period last year. At constant exchange rates, turnover was €467 million.
