in K€ (IFRS) | H1 2016 | H1 2017 |
Revenue | 3,062 | 2,956 |
Revenue for the first-half of 2017, which totalled nearly €3.0M, remained stable at the same level as for the first half of 2016, despite the transfer of the manufacturing activities in Dallas to a new production facility. This temporary slowdown of activities in the United States was compensated by a steady growth in Crolles, France, in manufacturing as well as engineering.
In total, engineering activities accounted for €1.7M of the revenue in the first-half of fiscal 2017 (versus €2.0M in the first half of 2016), and manufacturing activities for €1.3M (versus €1.1M in the first half of 2016).
