The continued focus on operational efficiency and higher added value services continued to be a key priority of the Group.

 

Operating income amounted to 25.5 million euros, down 16.8% over the same period last year, due to business contraction in the African market, following a delay in investment decisions by customers that should be resumed during the last quarter of 2016 and 2017. In the domestic market, the activity decreased by 16.1%, reflecting the adverse economic environment that continued to affect Portugal.
