The turnover at the end of September stands out in 111,5 M€, set back from 5.3 % with regard to the last year in the same date (5.8 % in France, 4.5 % in the International).

This figure must be however handed in perspective:
- September particularly affected the whole sector of the distribution textile and explains for the main part the decline of the activity; indeed, the turnover was in retreat only 1.8 % at the end of August (0.6 % in France, 3.2 % in the International).
- the basic effect is unfavourable on the first quarter the growth was 23.8 % in the first quarter 2005 (32.2 % in France, 13.7 % in the International).

Over 2 years (T1 2006/07 versus T1 2004/05), the progress stands out 17.3 %. - the first quarter contributes on average to 20 % of the annual turnover against 35 % for the second quarter.
