(Reuters) - French vouchers and card provider Edenred (PA:EDEN) kept its outlook for 2019 unchanged as its total revenue rose in the first quarter.
The company, which competes with Sodexo (PA:EXHO), said it still expected a like-for-like growth in operating revenue of more than 7 percent and a like-for-like growth in operating EBIT of more than 9 percent in 2019.
Edenred reported total revenue in the first quarter of 2019 at 383 million euros (£331.88 million), up 15.3 percent from a year earlier.
"Double-digit growth has been recorded in all of our business lines and in all of the regions where we operate," Edenred Chairman and CEO Bertrand Dumazy said in a statement.
