    (1)   At constant scope and exchange rates.
    (2)   The positive currency impact of 0.1% was mainly due to the pound sterling. The positive scope effect of 0.8% was attributable to the first-time consolidation of Kobus Tech. Mesdocteurs. Laponi, SEDIA, and Clinityx.

    Consolidated fourth quarter revenues rose to €154.7 million, up 4.1% as reported and 2.9% like for like(1) compared with the same period in 2021. The moderate growth in the fourth quarter was mainly due to December 2022 revenues, which grew 0.4% compared to December 2021. That was the slowest monthly growth rate in 2022 and will be a headwind for full year recurring operating income.

    Over the full year, revenues rose 5.9% as reported and 5.1% like for like compared with 2021.

    Cegedim Santé posted fourth-quarter revenue growth of 12.4%. Growth in the second half was 16% year on year. Cegedim Santé’s overall subscriber churn rate came to 12% over the full year.

    Q4 revenues at the division’s other activities in France were flat, hampered by a trading operation in Q4 2021 and tepid pharmacy solution revenues.

    International business dipped in the fourth quarter and finished the year down 9.3% compared with 2021. UK operations, which account for 70% of the division’s international revenues, were responsible for most of the decline. Pharmacy solutions suffered the full year impact of losing their largest client, who decided to build its own solutions in-house.

    Process digitalization and electronic data flows continued to do well, but the pace of growth slowed relative to prior quarters. International operations (Germany and the UK) continued to build on the recovery seen in the first three quarters, gaining 18% in the fourth. E-business generated double-digit growth over the full year.

    Third-party payer systems had an excellent fourth quarter, benefiting from high volumes of pharmacy invoices and rising volumes in the hospital segment, which took on new clients.

    The data business recorded 3.9% organic growth in the fourth quarter. The scope effect came from Clinityx, which specializes in innovative models for employing and matching real world data in France, consolidated in the group figures since July 2022.

    Marketing activities—whose business model is largely non-recurring—saw 11.5% growth in the fourth quarter, driven by advertising in pharmacies.
