Perspectives
The order backlog has evolved, from 85 days at the closing of the first semester of the last fiscal year, to 84 days, but this backlog translates into a horizon of F-10 sales turnover higher than last year's.
This context allows to continue counting on an effective growth rate, notwithstanding the extreme uncertainty of the present context.
