He said the firm is performing well in France, Germany and North America and new business momentum is accelerating.
"We have also made good progress in addressing some of the inefficiencies in our operating expenditure and this has improved our margins," he added.
"We look forward to the continued execution of our growth strategy and exploring ways to create shareholder value whilst working toward our ambition of building a leading international business spend management company.”
