The company closed 2012 with consolidated revenues of €248.1 million, down 4.2% on an annual basis compared to €258.4 million as at 31 December 2011. The developments in turnover are due to the differential between the expired contracts and the new ones, and reflect the new tender selection strategy that calls for not participating in the re-awarding of contracts that proved to have unsatisfactory collection timetables, regardless of their profitability.
