At Technology Management & Financing posted revenue of €1.124 million, a decline of 10.3% due mainly to the contraction of the business of its Italian subsidiary amounting to €130 ژ million on a full year basis. Excluding this impact, TMF revenue rose by 0.6% thanks to the performance of the other regions (mainly France, Belgium, Spain and the United Kingdom). Recurring operating income* from this activity was €43.9 ژ million, compared with €52.3 million in 2018. This includes the lower contribution from TMF Italy which was partly offset by the improved profitability in France and the Benelux countries. 31 December 2019,

The Digital Services & Solutions business line reported revenue of €1,803 million in 2019, up 7.4% on the previous year's level of €1,678 million. The organic growth of 6.3% was driven by the sales of "products and solutions", including, for example, major projects to equip French local authorities and schools with IT equipment. Profit (loss) from continuing operations was €82.3 ژ million compared with €58.6 million the previous year. This large improvement is the result of the organic growth of activity and cost control measures put in place since 2018.
