Press release
Revenue for the first quarter of 2024
Lyon, April 10th, 2024 - lePERMISLIBRE, a pioneer in online driving school in France, publishes its revenue for the
first quarter of 2024. The period was marked by continued growth in the traditional offerings segment, but also by
significant challenges for driving licence training courses financed through the Personal Training Account (CPF).

Revenue fell by 11% compared with the previous year, to EUR3.7m, influenced in particular by a 21% drop in CPF business, despite continued growth in trainings paid cash.
Apprenticeships financed by the CPF are dependent on the annual contribution of 500 euros per employee paid by the State, which takes place in March each year and has a significant influence on the generation of orders and sales in months that follow. This situation, which has already been observed in previous financial years, is repeated at the start of 2024. In addition, the reduction in marketing investment in CPF in 2023 helped optimize the profitability of this sales channel, but slowed order intake, which is a source of future revenue.
The first quarter of 2023 also saw exceptional growth of 80% in sales generated by learners self-financing their training, establishing a high basis for comparison for the first quarter of 2024.
To respond to these changes, lePERMISLIBRE has adjusted its pricing policy for driving hours to partly offset the fall in volumes.
Lucas Tournel, CEO of lePERMISLIBRE, shares his perspective on the development of the business: "This first quarter has not lived up to our expectations, forcing us to react quickly. These challenges have highlighted our team's ability to adapt and have enriched our understanding of the market and our customers' needs. Improvements in our organization in 2023 make us more resilient in the face of market variations and enable us to navigate better in these times of slowdown. Against this backdrop, we are continuing our efforts and adapting our spending to optimize our cash flow and reach profitability."
