Philippe Lazare, the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Ingenico Group, commented: Ingenico Group has once again achieved solid growth in the first half of this year. Our multi-local strategy has continued to prove its effectiveness, with our excellent results in mature markets and Asia offsetting the slowdown in Brazil. At the same time, our ePayments division has extended its business reach substantially, finalizing a new major agreement with Alipay. And although we have maintained our investment drive to keep bringing out new products and developing our online transaction platforms, Ingenico Group still has a 21.5% EBITDA margin. The Group has also carried out three acquisitions: a start-up provider of connected screens, Think&Go, and two terminal distributors, Lyudia in Japan and Nera in Southeast Asia.
All these examples of operational progress highlight the speed with which we are implementing our 2020 growth plan.”
