Abstract

After the public support measures introduced in France in 2020, the activity of the major groups was particularly strong in 2021, driven by a strong global recovery. Thanks to this recovery, the earnings of all their affiliates were very robust. On a consolidated basis at the end of 2021, the major French groups therefore emerged from the 2020 health crisis with balance sheet structures that returned to pre Covid levels. In 2021, their profitability improved and their financial debt decreased, which strengthened their financial autonomy. These aggregate developments nevertheless varied across sectors of activity and were less encouraging for the accommodation and food services sector and, to a lesser extent, for the education, health and information and communication sectors. By the end of 2021, however, the major French groups were in a good position to deal with the new disruptions caused by the war in Ukraine. Après les mesures de soutien public prises en France en 2020, l’activité des grands groupes a été particulièrement soutenue en 2021, portée par une reprise mondiale forte. Cette dernière a permis des résultats très dynamiques pour l’ensemble de leurs implantations. Sur base consolidée à fin 2021, les grands groupes français sont ainsi sortis de la crise sanitaire de 2020 avec des structures de bilan qui renouent avec les niveaux pré-Covid.En 2021, leur rentabilité s’est améliorée et leur endettement financier a diminué, ce qui a contribué à renforcer leur autonomie financière.Ces évolutions agrégées ont néanmoins été hétérogènes selon les secteurs d’activité : moins propices pour celui de l’hébergement-restauration, et dans une moindre mesure pour ceux de l’enseignement, de la santé et de l’information-communication.À la fin de l’année 2021, les grands groupes français étaient cependant dans une position favorable pour affronter les nouvelles perturbations engendrées par la guerre en Ukraine.
