Achievements
Exceeding forecasts, the year 2021 was very
good, both in terms of organic growth and profitability. The audit
confirmed an operating profit of 10.6% of revenues. At €37.7m, net
profit (group share) is up by 22% compared to 2021 (and up by 22.4%
compared to 2019).
At €264.6m (i.e. €11/share), net cash has been
almost entirely rebuilt after the payment (in June 2021) of an
exceptional dividend of €48.4m.
Outlook
As usual, forecasts for the current year will be
posted along with the Group's 1st quarter revenues (on May 11,
after the closing of the stock exchange).
NEURONES' long-standing expertise in cloud
computing, digital services and cybersecurity is an asset which
enables the company to benefit from the acceleration of the digital

At the Shareholders’ Meeting on June 2, the
Board will suggest:
- adopting a regular and predictable
distribution policy for the coming years,
- starting with the payment of a
dividend of €1 per share for the year 2021.
