In Q2 2021-2022 , Prismaflex International recorded total sales of € 11.8 million , up 12.3 % on a like - for - like basis . This performance takes S1 2021-2022 total sales to € 23.2 million , up 26.1 % on S1 2020-2021 and 3.5 % on S1 2019-2020 on a like - for - like basis , confirming the Group's return to a normative level of activity . Printing activity for the six - month period stands at € 16.8 million , a significant rebound of + 51 % on S1 2020-2021 a period that was hard hit by the crisis . In Q2 , Printing activity returned to pre - crisis levels , and is up 2.3 % on Q2 2019-2020 ( -1.9 % on S1 2019-2020 ) . Home Decor activity pursues its growth dynamic with S1 total sales standing at € 3.5 million , or + 52.1 % . Excluding Home Decor activity , both the outlook and dynamics are improving month after month , a clear illustration being the recovery in orders , mainly from sectors as the events sector that was hard hit by the pandemic . This trend is visible in all the geographical zones the Group operates in except for South Africa that continues to be impacted by the sanitary crisis . Hardware activity sales stand at € 6.4 million , down 12.1 % on S1 2020-2021 , but up 20.7 % on a comparable basis on a relatively modest S1 2019-2020 . LED display S1 sales reached € 2.8 million ( € 0.3 million for Clear Channel ) , compared with € 5.8 million proforma in S1 2020-2021 , due to the absence of major deliveries of international contracts during the six - month period . In France , the Group continues its growth dynamic on the municipalities and mass retail sectors . The significant upturn in traditional activities , notably static signage , has also helped make up for a part of the late activity . 1/2
