L’Esprit
Q3 2016
CEO Intro
The final quarter of the year is fast approaching and we have a big target to reach. People
who don’t know Exclusive are amazed by our TWENTY-20 vision - to double revenue every
two years until the year 2020 - but we all know we are capable of achieving it.
The first-half results for 2016 show a very strong picture, putting us ahead of our plan
and budget with H1 revenues of 575m€. It humbles me once again to see the hard work,
dedication and entrepreneurial skills throughout every team. It seems like only yesterday when
we reported total annual revenue for 2014 of 627m€.
A lot of our increased strength is coming from the Asia region, now that the full integration with
Exclusive Group is complete, following the acquisition at the beginning of the year. I have seen
how powerful this region is today, and can become in the future. More strength is coming
from disruptive new vendors like SentinelOne, Rubrik and others, with their enormous growth
potential.
But when you look closely at these latest figures, you see that the established European
regions and the core vendors are still performing extremely strongly. The Nordic region almost
doubled in revenue, while all other territories are reporting record numbers. BigTec is delivering
triple-digit growth. Exclusive Capital and ITEC are extending their influence and footprint. Our
expanded, innovative services offerings are gaining significant traction in major deals. Our
VAST strategy is paying dividends.
An important quarter ahead of us, Let’s keep it going - so we can finish strong in 2016,
sharing in the values of L’Esprit Exclusive, to continue building and achieving what no other
business has ever achieved.
