(*) Unaudited data
Turnover and gross margin for the first semester of 2024 totaled 129.6 million euros and 49.3 million euros, up 5.5% (sales) and 17.4% (gross margin) respectively on the same period of 2023. The second quarter thus confirms the trend seen in the first.
Since the second semester of 2023, the Group has included in its calculations the companies composing Hopscotch Interface Tourism, acquired in the second semester of 2023. These companies, which were not yet consolidated in 2023, contributed 4.4 million euros to the Group's gross margin in the first half of 2024. As a result, the Group's organic growth remains strong, at +7% gross margin, over this period. While all the Group's activities are showing positive growth, the Events agency has had a particularly strong start to the year.
The group intends to accelerate its development, particularly internationally, and is therefore strengthening the HOPSCOTCH brand platform worldwide. In particular, Sopexa is changing its name to Hopscotch Season in order to extend its consulting activities to promote the Art de Vivre around the world, alongside Hopscotch Tourism, Hopscotch Luxe and Hopscotch.mov (expertise in mobility and automobiles), among others. In the 35 countries where the Group is present, the 100%-owned subsidiaries will take the name of Hopscotch “country”, for example Hopscotch USA, wherever possible.
HOPSCOTCH Groupe will publish its consolidated half-year earnings for 2024 on September 25, after market close.
