The Bastide Group achieved a solid third quarter with revenue of €118.5 million, up +6.1%, accelerating compared to previous quarters.

This performance benefited in particular from the contribution of companies acquired less than a year ago for €10.9 million. Like-for-like

, the decline was -3.8%, due to the gradual return to normal in sales of personal equipment (PPE) in the “Home Support” activity after the very strong demand recorded during the health crisis. The more technically demanding activities (Respiratory, Nutrition-Perfusion-Stomatherapy) continue to grow and account for the majority of sales at more than 54%.

This quarterly acceleration brings 9-month revenue to €341.5 million, an increase of +2.5% since the start of the year (-3.3% on an organic basis).

Breakdown of 9-month turnover by business

Home support

: Over the first 9 months of the financial year, sales amounted to €155.6 million, down -11.8% (-13.8% on an organic basis). This change is explained solely by the contraction in PPE sales at the end of the health crisis (-81.6%). Excluding PPE, the division grew by +9.5%.

  • In communities

    , the Group posted revenue of €70.5 million, down -16.3% (-16.5% on an organic basis). Excluding the impact of PPE sales, revenue grew by +11.9%, reflecting the good momentum and resilience of activity in this sector, including with private establishments.

  • In stores/online

    , revenue amounted to €85.1 million, down -7.8% (-11.3% on an organic basis). Excluding PPE, the change is +7.5%. The Group is continuing to develop its activity in stores and is accelerating its e-commerce development, in particular with the contribution of the company Distrimed acquired at the end of 2021.

“Breathing” activity

generated revenue of €98.3 million, up 18.2% (+10.6% organically). This dynamic performance is based on significant market share gains which largely offset the impact of the significant price reduction in France for the treatment of sleep apnea. The Group also recorded solid organic growth in Spain and England and also benefited from the first contribution of the Canadian company Medpro acquired in February 2022 in the amount of €1.5 million.

The “Nutrition-Perfusion-Stomatherapy” activity

posted revenue of €87.6 million, up +19.4%, of which +6.4% organically. All segments of this activity are growing organically, at a globally consistent level of between 5% and 8%. This positive trend confirms the Group’s market share gains in this area.

2021-2022 outlook confirmed

The Group is pursuing its roadmap and confirming its objective of annual revenue of at least €460 million with a current operating margin objective of at least 8.3%.

The demanding basis of comparison on the “Home care” activity linked to the increased activity generated during the health crisis will begin to fade, which should allow a gradual return to organic growth at Group level in the next quarters.

The Bastide Group also confirms its growth strategy based on the priority development of activities with the highest technicality and high recurrence, both in France and internationally. External growth opportunities continue to be actively studied with this in mind in order to strengthen the Group’s positions.
