Board of Directors of Avanquest Software met on September 25, 2013, to approve the financial statements for the 2012-2013 financial year. Avanquest Software achieved annual sales of 100.3 million euros for the 2012-2013 financial year, which was marked by an accelerated shift toward online sales. This figure is virtually unchanged from the previous year (-1.0% and -5.3% at constant scope and exchange rates).
The year's activity was characterized by strong growth in Web-to-print, hosting and downloads (+24%), which almost compensated for the drop in retail sales (-25%). Overall, the Group is now doing 45.5% of its business online. Offline sales now represent only 34% of gross income. This is the first time these two proportions have been reversed, marking a significant stage in the Group's transition. With sales virtually stable, the gross margin is down slightly from the previous year, at €56.9M. This virtual stability can also be seen in the operating income (OI), slightly negative (€ -1M), compared with a slightly positive result (€ 0.8M) in 2011/12.
