FONTENAY-AUX-ROSES, France--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Regulatory News:

ICAPE Group (ISIN code: FR001400A3Q3 - Ticker: ALICA), a global technology distributor of printed circuit boards (“PCB”) and custom-made electromechanical parts, today announced its revenue for the first 9 months of 2024.

Yann DUIGOU, CEO of the ICAPE Group, stated: "The third-quarter 2024 revenue figures, which reflect an improvement in sales momentum compared with Q3 2024, illustrate our Group's resilience in a still highly uncertain economic and geopolitical context. The beginnings of a return to more dynamic growth are perceptible but have yet to materialize due to the wait-and-see attitude of many manufacturers, particularly the largest order providers. Confident in its fundamentals, the Group continues to deploy its acquisition strategy, with the latest success being the acquisition of the Japanese group NTW, which, given the major scale of this player in Asia, will help to sustain profitable growth. The ICAPE Group reaffirms the solidity of its global positioning in the PCB market to fully capture the return to growth while gaining market share, and thus confirms its growth and profitability objectives.”
