Rightmove on Friday reported a 7.5% rise in first-half pretax profit as customers continue to use and upgrade its products to help win business in a more uncertain market. The U.K property website made a pretax profit for the half year ended June 30 of 130.3 million pounds ($166.7 million) compared with GBP121.2 million a year earlier. Revenue for the period rose to GBP179.45 million from GBP162.65 million, it said. It attributed the rise to customers increasing their usage of Rightmove’s digital products and continuing to upgrade their packages. Operating profit–the company’s preferred metric–was GBP129.5 million compared with GBP121.3 million for the first half of 2022. It said average revenue per advertiser rose to GBP1,411 a month from GBP1,290 a month in 2022. The board declared an interim dividend of 3.6 pence a share, up on 3.3 pence a year prior. The company said it expects to deliver in line with its previous expectations for 2023. It added there are significant opportunities available, and to maximize its ability to take advantage it will modestly increase investment to drive organic growth. While maintaining an underlying operating margin of 70%-72%, it expects medium-term double-digit revenue and profit growth to result.

Intertek on Friday backed its full-year guidance after profits and revenue rose in the first half of the year, and it raised its interim dividend payout. The inspection and product-testing company said its pretax profit rose to 191.7 million pounds ($245.3 million) in the half-year from GBP182.8 million in the first half of 2022. Revenue rose to GBP1.64 billion from GBP1.49 billion a year prior. On a like-for-like basis, revenue grew 7.1%, the highest like-for-like revenue growth in a decade, the company said. Operating profit was GBP215 million compared with GBP197.0 million, with a margin of 13.1%, down from 13.2%, it said. Intertek said its board declared in interim dividend of 37.7 pence, up from 34.2 pence a year prior. Looking ahead, the FTSE 100-listed company reaffirmed its full-year guidance, which includes mid single-digit like-for-like revenue growth at constant currency. For the full year, revenue is expected to be GBP3.35 billion, and operating profit is expected at GBP553 million with a 16.5% margin, according to a company-compiled consensus.

Engie SA on Friday said that earnings and revenue rose in the first half, pointing to the strength of its renewables and energy management activities and backed its 2023 targets. The French utility posted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization of 9.34 billion euros ($10.25 billion), up from EUR7.46 billion a year earlier. Revenue grew to EUR47.03 billion, compared with EUR43.16 billion in last year’s first half.

EBIT, excluding earnings from nuclear power, rose 53% to EUR6.71 billion, boosted by its global energy management and sales business and renewables, Engie said. “In the first semester, ENGIE has achieved a very strong financial performance, driven by the development of our renewable activities and the results of our energy management activities in a context still characterized by high price volatility,” Chief Executive Catherine MacGregor said. Engie booked a net loss of EUR0.8 billion in the period, compared with a profit of EUR5.01 billion a year earlier. The decrease was linked to the negative effect of the nuclear provisions following the agreement signed with the Belgian State, Engie said. Looking ahead, Engie said it still expects a recurring net income of between EUR4.7 billion and EUR5.3 billion for 2023 and nonnuclear EBIT between EUR8.5 billion and EUR9.5 billion.

Eni posted a much lower profit for the second quarter, as the group reeled from the effects of declining benchmark crude oil and natural gas prices. The Italian oil-and-gas major on Friday said that quarterly net profit plunged to 294 million euros ($322.8 million) from EUR3.82 billion in last year’s second quarter. On an adjusted basis, net profit declined 49% to EUR1.94 billion. Adjusted operating profit–one of Eni’s most closely watched metrics by analysts and investors–fell 42% to EUR3.38 billion. Sales decreased 38% to EUR19.59 billion. Hydrocarbon production rose 2% on year to 1.61 million barrels of oil equivalent a day. For the current quarter, the group is forecasting hydrocarbon production of about 1.63 million barrels of oil equivalent a day. For the year, hydrocarbon production is still expected between 1.63 million and 1.67 million barrels of oil equivalent a day. However, capital expenditure should now be under EUR9 billion, below previous guidance of around EUR9.2 billion. The group is still targeting an adjusted operating profit of EUR12 billion. Cash flow from operations before working capital should be between EUR15.5 billion and EUR16 billion. Eni had previously expected cash flow of more than EUR16 billion.

Bouygues on Friday said that net profit and revenue rose in the first half and confirmed its full-year guidance. The French construction and media company reported a net profit of 225 million euros ($245.9 million) compared with EUR147 million in the first half of 2022. Its revenue leapt 41% to EUR26.14 billion from a year earlier. Bouygues reported an operating profit from activities of EUR727 million compared with EUR513 million a year ago. The company’s margin was stable at 2.8%, it said. Bouygues confirmed that it is still targeting 2023 sales close to the level of 2022 and an increase to current operating profit from activities despite “an unstable environment marked by inflation, rising interest rates and currency volatility.”

Sanofi on Friday raised its 2023 guidance and reported second-quarter adjusted earnings that beat analysts’ expectations despite sales that fell short of estimates. The French pharmaceutical company said it now expects business earnings per share–one of the company’s preferred earnings metrics–to grow in a range of mid single percentage digits at constant exchange rates, barring unforeseen major adverse events. It previously expected growth of low single digits. Net profit for the second quarter was 1.435 billion euros ($1.58 billion) compared with EUR1.175 billion in the same period last year. Business net profit grew 8% at constant currency to EUR2.18 billion, or EUR1.74 a share. Sales for the second quarter fell to EUR9.965 billion from EUR10.12 billion for the same period last year, dragged down by a decline in general medicines. Sanofi’s best-selling drug alone, anti-inflammatory treatment Dupixent, contributed EUR2.56 billion to the top line. At constant exchange rates, Sanofi’s quarterly sales grew 3.3%. Analysts expected quarterly business net profit to be EUR2.09 billion on sales of EUR10.04 billion, according to consensus estimates compiled by Vara Research. “Our strong results in the first six months make us confident in our outlook for the remainder of the year and as a consequence we are raising our full-year 2023 EPS guidance to mid single-digit growth,” Sanofi Chief Executive Paul Hudson said.

Vinci reported an increase in first-half earnings Friday, and backed its 2023 guidance after a six-month period of growth across its business. The French infrastructure company said it made 2.09 billion euros ($2.30 billion) in net profit in the half, compared with EUR1.90 billion in the same period the prior year, on total sales that rose 14% to EUR32.73 billion. Revenue and earnings growth was supported by all three of its businesses. Vinci booked EUR31.2 billion in new orders during the period, and said that its orderbook as of the end of June had grown 9% to EUR61.5 billion. Vinci said its board had approved an interim dividend of EUR1.05 a share that it would pay in November. The company also said that it had positive cash flow of EUR261 million in the first half, compared with a prior-year cash outflow of EUR281 million.

Air France-KLM confirmed its capacity forecast for the year after reporting a profit and revenue well ahead of analysts’ expectations for the second quarter, marked by a growing number of passengers, higher load factors and strong yields. The Franco-Dutch carrier group on Friday posted revenue of 7.62 billion euros ($8.37 billion) for the three months to the end of June, up 14% on year. The group handled 24.7 million passengers in the quarter, 8.2% more than last year. Net profit jumped 86% to EUR604 million. Operating profit surged 90% to EUR733 million, generating a 9.6% margin. Air France-KLM was expected to post revenue of EUR7.54 billion on a net profit of EUR387 million and operating profit of EUR665 million, according to a company-provided consensus. The group’s long-haul network to the Americas, Africa, Asia and the Middle East fared well in the quarter, though short-haul operations suffered from air traffic control strikes in Europe. Airlines have also had to contend with supply-chain snags that make it harder to procure spare parts and quickly deploy aircraft where needed. The industry has been grappling with a labor shortage since last summer amid a higher-than-expected surge in demand for seats that forced operators to rapidly rebuild their networks after the Covid-19 pandemic. Widespread staffing shortages ushered in months of travel chaos for passengers, though the shortage has been easing. “I am very glad to see that situation at airports is much better this summer, including at KLM’s hub at Amsterdam Schiphol Airport,” said Chief Executive Benjamin Smith. “This season notably serves as a test run for 2024, when France will host the Olympic and Paralympic Games, of which Air France is an official partner.” The group continues to expect capacity in available seat kilometers at roughly 95% this year compared to 2019.

Capgemini on Friday reported higher net profit and revenue for the first half of the year and backed its 2023 guidance. The French information technology company said net profit rose to 809 million euros ($888.2 million) from EUR667 million in the first half of 2022. Revenue rose to EUR11.43 billion from EUR10.69 billion a year ago. The company’s operating profit rose 8% to EUR1.15 billion, which led to a margin of 10.1%, compared with a previous margin of 10%. Capgemini credited good momentum in its intelligence industry offerings, and also highlighted its cloud, data and artificial intelligence business performance. The company reported a free cash flow loss of EUR53 million compared with a gain of EUR193 million a year ago. “After two years of record growth, the more challenging macro-economic environment led to a slowdown in line with group expectations,” the company said. Capgemini backed its full-year targets of revenue growth between 4% and 7% at constant currencies, operating margin of 13.0% to 13.2% and organic free cash flow around EUR1.8 billion.
