2010/08/31 - APRIL GROUP recorded consolidated sales of €372.81 million in the first half of 2010, corresponding to decreases of 12.9% on a reported basis and of 12% on a pro-forma basis. This performance reflects mainly the implementation of a strategy to refocus on the Group’s brokerage activities, resulting in a planned scale back in insurance premiums (which declined by -26% in the period under review), and the impact of the divestments made over the last eighteen months.
