·Total revenue: up 18.0% to €1,626 million
Total revenue for 2019 amounted to €1,626 million, an increase of 18.0%, that took into account the positive impact from changes in the scope of consolidation (+5.1%) and a slightly negative currency effect (-0.9%) over the year. Like-for-like growth was 13.8% compared with 2018.
Total revenue for the fourth quarter was €456 million, up 17.7% as reported on fourth-quarter 2018 and up 12.5% like-for-like. The scope effect had a positive impact on revenue in the period (+5.4%), the currency effect was slightly negative (-0.1%), and the impact of Venezuela was negligible (+0.1%).
·Operating revenue: up 18.3% to €1,570 million
Operating revenue for 2019 came in at €1,570 million (including €445 million in the fourth quarter), representing an increase of 18.3% as reported after taking into account the positive scope effect (+5.3%) and the negative currency effect (-0.9%). Like-for-like growth in operating revenue was 13.9% over the year and 13.6% in the fourth quarter.
In 2019, Edenred delivered double-digit operating revenue growth in all of its business lines and in all regions in which the Group operates.
·Operating revenue by business line
| (in € millions) | 2019 | 2018 | % change (reported) |
% change (like-for-like) |
| Employee Benefits | 975 | 854 | +14.1% | +13.0% |
| Fleet & Mobility Solutions | 409 | 336 | +21.8% | +15.8% |
| Complementary Solutions | 186 | 137 | +35.6% | +14.9% |
| Total | 1,570 | 1,327 | +18.3% | +13.9% |
Operating revenue for the Employee Benefits business line was €975 million in 2019, representing 62% of the consolidated total, and €276 million in the fourth quarter. Operating revenue rose by 14.1% as reported (+13.0% like-for-like) over the full year and by 17.0% in the fourth quarter alone (+11.8% like-for-like). The effectiveness of the action taken under the Next Frontier 2019-2022 strategic plan, notably the deployment of a sales strategy focused on SMEs, helped generate strong organic growth. Also reflected in this performance is Edenred’s technological leadership, be it in terms of mobile payment, with 32 Apple Pay, Google Pay and Samsung Pay programs accessible in some 20 countries, or in app-to-app payment, now available in five countries. With app-to-app payment, users can order meals from more than 40 different partners such as Deliveroo, Uber Eats or DejBox. In addition, the Group acquired several employee engagement platforms in Europe in 2019. These innovative digital solutions aim to improve employee retention, motivation and purchasing power. They open up real growth and cross-selling opportunities for Edenred, notably in Europe, where this remains a fairly new market.
In the Fleet & Mobility Solutions business line, which now accounts for 26% of the Group’s business, reported operating revenue rose by 21.8% in 2019 (+15.8% like-for-like) to €409 million. In fourth-quarter 2019, operating revenue grew by 25.8% as reported (+17.7% like-for-like) to €114 million. Reported growth includes the performance of The Right Fuelcard Company (TRFC), the number four fuel card program manager in the United Kingdom, acquired in January 2019. The robust like-for-like growth reflects the good momentum of sales teams, notably Brazil, and the success of recently launched solutions for light fleets in Europe. In addition, value-added services such as maintenance in Brazil, and interoperable toll solutions in Europe, ramped up at a satisfactory rate.
The Complementary Solutions business line, which includes Corporate Payment Services, Incentive & Rewards Solutions and Public Social Programs, generated operating revenue of €186 million in 2019, up 35.6% as reported (+14.9% like-for-like, of which +15.2% in the fourth quarter) to €55 million. This solid performance reflected both the successful integration of CSI, a North American fintech specialized in optimizing accounts payable processes, consolidated since January 2019, and the healthy deployment of Corporate Payment Services, which has developed organically.
·Operating revenue by region
| (in € millions) | 2019 | 2018 | % change (reported) |
% change (like-for-like) |
| Europe | 884 | 755 | +16.9% | +13.0% |
| Latin America | 559 | 497 | +12.5% | +14.4% |
| Rest of the World | 127 | 75 | +70.9% | +19.3% |
| Total | 1,570 | 1,327 | +18.3% | +13.9% |
In Europe, operating revenue rose by 16.9% as reported (+13.0% like-for-like) to €884 million, representing 56% of total consolidated operating revenue in 2019. In fourth-quarter 2019, operating revenue increased by 18.3% as reported (+13.2% like-for-like) to €254 million.
In France, operating revenue amounted to €264 million in 2019, an increase of 10.2% as reported (+10.2% like-for-like) for the full year and of 13.6% in the fourth quarter. In 2019, Employee benefits such as Ticket Restaurant and the employee engagement platform ProwebCE enjoyed rapid growth, thanks notably to their improved marketing mix, innovative digital offerings, and the successful drive to increase revenues in the SME segment. The good performance of Fleet & Mobility Solutions was led notably by the development of dedicated solutions for light fleets.
Operating revenue in Europe excluding France was up 20.0% as reported in 2019 (+14.3% like-for-like) to €620 million. Operating revenue for the region in the fourth quarter grew by 20.4% as reported (+13.0% like-for-like) to €177 million. Employee Benefits experienced strong momentum all throughout the region. Demand for Fleet & Mobility Solutions surged in the light fleet segment and the value-added services segment such as toll payment and VAT collection services, notably in Italy, Germany and Austria.
Operating revenue amounted to €559 million in Latin America, up 12.5% as reported (+14.4% like-for-like). The region accounted for 36% of the Group’s operating revenue for the year. In fourth-quarter 2019, operating revenue for the region increased by 12.9% as reported (+13.7% like-for-like) to €156 million.
In Brazil, operating revenue was up 14.5% like-for-like in 2019, and up 19.7%3 like-for-like in the fourth quarter alone. This good Brazilian performance was attributable to rapid organic growth both in Employee Benefits and in Fleet & Mobility Solutions, with maintenance and toll payment services getting off to a good start.
In Hispanic Latin America, operating revenue climbed 14.4% like-for-like in 2019. This new year of double-digit organic growth reflected good sales performances by the Group’s two main business lines throughout the region. In the fourth quarter operating revenue was down by 1.8% like-for-like, mainly due to an economic slowdown in Mexico. As expected, in this country currently in recession, the effect of the unfavorable basis of comparison for fuel prices had an impact on the growth of Fleet & Mobility Solutions locally. Moreover, in Employee Benefits, following a change in the rules for awarding Navideños benefits, Edenred decided to considerably reduce the issue volume related to this product at the end of the year.
Operating revenue in the Rest of the World region rose by 70.9% as reported (+19.3% like-for-like), to €127 million, representing 8% of total Group operating revenue in 2019. The strong reported growth was attributable to the consolidation of CSI as from January 2019. Like-for-like growth was led notably by the good performance of the payroll cards business in the United Arab Emirates, which has expanded to include new digital services designed to improve the daily lives of under- or unbanked workers.
·Other revenue: €56 million
Based on a float4 of €3.0 billion at the end of 2019, other revenue totaled €56 million for the year, up 10.4% as reported (+11.0% like-for-like). In 2019, the Group benefited from a slight rise in interest rates in certain European countries outside the eurozone, but was impacted by lower interest rates in Latin America.
·EBITDA: up 24.8% to €668 million
EBITDA was €668 million in 2019 compared with €536 million in 2018, an increase of 24.8% as reported and of 13.8% like-for-like. The EBITDA margin came in at 41.1%, up 2.2 points year-on-year. Excluding the impact of IFRS 16, the increase was 0.4 of a point.
·EBIT: up 18.3% to €545 million
EBIT rose by 18.3% on a reported basis in 2019, reaching a record high of €545 million, within the range of the EBIT guidance of between €520 million and €550 million announced in mid-2019. The currency impact reduced EBIT by €6 million, while the scope effect increased it by €22 million during the period. Like-for-like, EBIT advanced by €68 million, or 14.8%.
Operating EBIT by region:
| (in € millions) | 2019 | 2018 | % change (reported) |
% change (like-for-like) |
| Europe | 280 | 234 | +20.0% | +14.3% |
| Latin America | 204 | 188 | +8.6% | +9.9% |
| Rest of the World | 19 | 5 | +269.1% | +106.1% |
| Holding & Other | (14) | (17) | -14.2% | -31.6% |
| Total | 489 | 410 | +19.3% | +15.3% |
Operating EBIT rose by 19.3% in 2019 (+15.3% like-for-like) to €489 million.
In Europe, operating EBIT was up 20.0% as reported, reflecting the Group’s improved operating leverage in the region, with profitability rising in all the region’s main countries, and the contribution of newly acquired businesses.
In Latin America, operating EBIT increased by 8.6% as reported and 9.9% like-for-like, thanks first and foremost to a good performance in Brazil, where like-for-like operating EBIT growth was in the double digits. The healthy rate of growth was attenuated by a less favorable macro-economic environment in Hispanic Latin America and unfavorable bases of comparison, notably for fuel prices in Mexico in the fourth quarter, which had a negative impact on EBIT margin.
·Net profit, Group share: €312 million
Net profit, Group share in 2019 came in at €312 million versus €254 million in 2018, an increase of 22.9%.
Other income and expenses represented a net expense of €25 million in 2019, compared with a €31 million net expense in 2018. The total included non-recurring expenses corresponding for the most part to the costs incurred for the acquisitions carried out in 2019, asset impairment losses and restructuring costs.
Net profit also takes into account net financial expense (€35 million versus €37 million in 2018), net income tax expense (€153 million versus €119 million in 2018) and non-controlling interests (€34 million in 2019 versus €31 million in 2018).
·Strong cash flow generation
The Edenred business model generates significant cash flows, lifting funds from operations before other income and expenses (FFO) to €524 million in 2019, an increase of 30.9% as reported and 16.5% like-for-like.
Despite a fall in volume related to the Navideños program in Mexico in December, Edenred generated free cash flow of €400 million in 2019. At December 31, 2019, after taking into consideration the €782 million dedicated to targeted acquisitions and the €134 million allocated to dividend distribution, minority interests and the share buyback program, the Group’s net debt stood at €1,290 million versus €659 million at December 31, 2018. The ratio of net debt to EBITDA is 1.9 at end-2019.
·A well-balanced debt profile
The cost of the Group’s debt was 0.8% in 2019 versus 1.2% in 2018, a decrease of 40 basis points. The average maturity of the debt is close to 5 years. The Group has been attributed a "Strong Investment Grade” rating by Standard & Poor’s (BBB+).
In September 2019, Edenred successfully placed bonds convertible into and/or exchangeable for new and/or existing shares (OCEANE) due in 2024 for an aggregate nominal amount of approximately €500 million, under particularly favorable financial conditions (yield to maturity of -1.53%). The net proceeds of the offering will be used by the Company for general corporate purposes, including the financing of potential external growth operations.

APPENDICES
Glossary and list of references needed
for a proper understanding of financial information
- Main terms
- Like-for-like, impact of changes in the scope of consolidation, currency effect:
Like-for-like or organic growth corresponds to comparable growth, i.e., growth at constant exchange rates and scope of consolidation. This indicator reflects the Group’s business performance.
Changes in activity (like-for-like or organic growth) represent changes in amounts between the current period and the comparative period, adjusted for currency effects and for the impact of acquisitions and/or disposals.
The impact of acquisitions is eliminated from the amount reported for the current period. The impact of disposals is eliminated from the amount reported for the comparative period. The sum of these two amounts is known as the impact of changes in the scope of consolidation or the scope effect.
The calculation of changes in activity is translated at the exchange rate applicable in the comparative period and divided by the adjusted amount for the comparative period.
The currency effect is the difference between the amount for the reported period translated at the exchange rate for the reported period and the amount for the reported period translated at the exchange rate applicable in the comparative period.
·Business volume:
Business volume comprises total issue volume of Employee Benefits, Incentive and Rewards, Public Social Program solutions and Corporate Payment Services, plus the transaction volume of Fleet & Mobility Solutions and other solutions.
·Issue volume:
Issue volume is the total face value of the funds preloaded on all of the payment solutions issued by Edenred to its corporate and public sector clients.
·Transaction volume:
Transaction volume represents the total value of the transactions paid for with payment instruments, at the time of the transaction.
