Its turnover for this third quarter in France came to 64.2 million euros, a purely organic increase of 3.6%.
Over this quarter, internationally, consolidated turnover stood at 59.7 million euros, an increase of 1.3%.
On the outlook side, Aubay is cautiously adjusting its turnover target for the 2023 financial year to a range between 530 to 540 million euros. The operating margin of activity should be in a range between 8 and 9%.

Cybersecurity blues
Gartner analysis reveals that nearly half of security leaders are expected to change jobs by 2025 due to high stress. Among them, a quarter should opt for completely different functions. The average seniority of a “CISO” (Chief information security officer) would be limited to 26 months. French companies, due to limited budgets, can only meet half of the required international standards. A shortage of talent is also to be deplored as the French digital market faces a shortage of around 15,000 people. Insufficient remuneration could explain this: remuneration would not exceed 200,000 euros in France, compared to around 800,000 euros in the Anglo-Saxon world for the best positions.
