Revenues from the Healthcare sector increased, + 14.8%, despite a context of healthcare expenditure restraint. Public Sector market declined, 6.5%, due to the cycles of the public procurement proceedings. Revenues from International Markets remained stable, despite of political and macroeconomic context with some stress in Latin American countries, especially in Argentina, where the climate of general uncertainty caused a delay in many of the planned investments and the currency devaluation of the Argentine currency led to exchange losses of 2.4 million euros, which affect the group’s profit before tax.

The financials of the first half of the year record results in line with the plans, but above all confirm the start of the path designed for the next few years, which is already directed towards the synergical convergence of cultures and approaches. For this reason, despite some signs of volatility in the global macroeconomic situation, we continue to look with optimism at the second part of 2018“.

Stefano Pileri, CEO of Italtel, declared: “In the first half of 2018 the spread of our proprietary products and of our solutions in the markets in which we operate continued, with promising dynamics in particular in sectors such as Cyber Security. The policy aimed at spreading the digitization of companies, has also recorded an excellent performance in the Enterprise market and a significant acceleration of the Ultra Broadband projects for the so-called ‘white areas’. We believed that the continuous stimulus in favor of digital transformation processes can give a further acceleration to investments, with certain benefits for the entire production of the country “.
