Following this announcement, APRIL CEO Emmanuel Morandini made the following comments: The results for 2017 confirm the appropriateness of the turnaround measures we have implemented: after the 2015 sales figures and 2016 gross margin, current EBIT and net income have returned to growth in 2017. Our key indicators are now all positive, backed by strong business momentum. Over the coming years, we intend to continue the development and global expansion of our growth activities, such as local health insurance, loan insurance, international health insurance and niche P&C, while continuing to turn around our loss-making operations. We are therefore refocusing our efforts on the businesses, operations and markets that generate value-added. Thanks to all of these factors, we are aiming at 2018 current EBIT growth of 6-10% compared to 2017."
