Steria's results have suffered as a result of its recent merger with Xansa, but the effect is likely to be short-lived, according to Ovum analyst Cornelia Wels-Maug.
"The German operation as well as its subsidiaries in Belgium, Norway and Denmark had excellent results in terms of growth of revenues and profitability, " said Wels-Maug.
"The outlook for the remainder of the year and beyond is positive, with the order backlog at the end of Q3 2007 being up 6.6 per cent year-on-year and Steria aiming for an organic revenue growth rate of about four per cent for 2007 and an operating margin rate above eight per cent for 2008."
