Capgemini, a leading French IT services group, reported a 7% year-on-year increase in first-quarter revenue, amounting to €5.9 billion ($6.88 billion) at constant exchange rates. The growth aligns with the company's guidance, which noted that revenue would have increased by 11% without currency fluctuations. A significant driver of this growth was North America, where revenue surged 20.7% to €1.7 billion, largely attributed to the integration of its recently acquired AI subsidiary, WNS. However, the company faced challenges in its home market of France, where revenue fell 1%, and only a modest 1.7% growth was recorded in the rest of Europe, particularly in the Consumer Goods and Public Sectors. Additionally, bookings for the quarter rose 6.2% year-on-year, reaching €6 billion. Capgemini maintains its revenue growth target for the year at 6.5% to 8.5%.
