Thales (Euronext Paris: HO) reported today its order intake and sales for the period ending 30 September 2023.
The Group recorded organic growth in sales in all its businesses in the first nine months of the year, despite the expected slowdown in the Digital Identity & Security operating segment in the third quarter. The recovery in civil avionics continued and the outlook for growth remains robust for the Defense & Security segment.
In addition, the Group pursued its profitable growth strategy, announcing the acquisition of Imperva at the end of July, with the aim of creating a global leader in cybersecurity.
We are also very pleased to have joined the CAC SBT 1.5° climate index – a new step that confirms the relevance of our CSR strategy.
We are confident that we will achieve our annual financial targets thanks to our teams’ unwavering commitment.”
