March 6 (Reuters) – French IT services company Atos (ATOS.PA) reported full-year revenue slightly above 8 billion euros ($9.3 billion) on Friday, meeting its target and reflecting progress in its turnaround following significant financial restructuring.
The company slashed its headcount by 19% to 63,193 employees as part of its “Genesis” restructuring programme aimed at restoring profitability after years of turmoil.
- Revenue in the core Atos business unit declined 16.2% organically to 6.96 billion euros despite winning a notable cybersecurity contract with the European Commission during the year.
- Sales in the Eviden division grew 6.7% to 1.04 billion euros, driven by the delivery of the Jupiter supercomputer in Germany.
- Atos had a backlog of 10.7 billion euros at the end of December, representing 1.3 years of revenue, signalling a solid pipeline of contracted work that underpins its confidence in the recovery path.
- Atos expects 2026 to be a “year of stabilization” with a target of positive organic revenue growth, and potential downside limited to a 5% decline in a challenging market.
- It expects to accelerate growth in 2027-2028, aiming for 5-7% annual revenue growth and a 10% operating margin by 2028.
- Atos also aims to reduce its leverage ratio to net debt less than 1.5 times its operating income by 2028, as it pursues an investment-grade credit rating.
