Q12018 turnover posts again a strong growth, reaching €489.8m. This new 25.7% increase compared to Q1 2017 is due to:

The Group acquired 287,000 customer sites during the first quarter, significantly higher than Q1 2017 which was already a record with 233,000 new sites.

The momentum mainly remains driven by the Residential segment (207,000 customer sites acquired), but also by the "Large account" under segment with the acquisition of 67,000 sites compared to 21,000 over the same period in 2017. This performance confirms the Group's strategy to continue its development in a balanced way across all consumer segments.

As of 31 March 2018, the customer portfolio amounts to 2,704,000 sites, up 5.7% compared to 31 December 2017.

 

 

As France's leading alternative energy player, Direct Energie positions itself as the energy operator of the 21st century by focusing its strategy on customer satisfaction, innovation and the development of the energies of the future. Operating in France (continental and overseas territories) and Belgium, the Group supplies electricity and gas to over 2.6 million residential and non-residential customer sites. Direct Energie also produces electricity through renewable production facilities (onshore wind, solar, hydraulic, and biogas) and conventional plants (natural gas combined cycle), located throughout the region.

In 2017, the Group achieved consolidated revenue of €1,966 million (€1,141 million restated with the impact of the implementation of the standard IFRS 15, mandatory as from 1 January 2018).
