The first 9 months of 2022 were significantly marked by the war in Ukraine and its consequences. As soon as the conflict began, Lectra SA, Paris/France, decided to cease its operations in Russia, by suspending the activity of its subsidiary Lectra Russia and stopping all deliveries of products or services. The conflict has accelerated price increases, energy shortfalls and shortages in some raw materials. However, their impact on the group's financial statements was limited due to its low exposure to energy costs and a limited dependency on those raw materials affected the most.
