2. REVIEW OF ACTIVITY

Consolidated sales reported by Eiffage for the first quarter of 2017 reached €3.2bn, up by 7.6% on a reported basis (and by 6.2% lfl).

The Group reminds that one quarter taken in isolation is not representative of the year as a whole.

Sales contributed by the Contracting activities increased by 8.4% on a reported basis (and by 6.7% lfl) to €2.6bn.

Construction: sales of €812m (stable on a reported basis, but down 1.4% lfl)

  • As regards construction, sales increased by 4.0% to €680m in France, whereas sales decreased by 16.5% to €132m in the rest of Europe, notably in Poland, following the delivery at the end of 2016 of the exceptional project of the Poznan shopping mall.
  • As regards the property development activity, sales increased by 18.4%. The marketing of new housing units remained upbeat, with 748 reservations to 31 March 2017, compared with 597 to 31 March 2016.

Infrastructures: sales of €936m (up by 15.1% on a reported basis and by 13.7% lfl)

  • In France, sales increased by 2.8% to €597m with strong increases for road construction and metallic construction, but a decrease for civil engineering, pending the launch of works on the Grand Paris project.
  • In the rest of Europe, sales increased strongly by 64.2% to €307m, thanks in particular to the metal activity of Smulders, the Belgian subsidiary specialised in offshore structures, recording a 109.7% increase.
  • Outside Europe, sales came to €32m, down 28.9%, as the extension of the Dakar-Diamniadio motorway was brought into service in the second half of 2016.

Energy: sales of €857m (up by 10.2% on a reported basis and by 7.8% lfl)

  • In France, sales increased by 7.8% to €667m.
  • In the rest of Europe, sales increased by 21.0% to €150m, with increases in all the countries where the division has operations.
  • Outside Europe, sales increased by 14.3% to €40m.

In Concessions, overall traffic on the APRR network, as measured by the number of kilometres travelled, increased slightly by 0.1% in the first quarter of 2017, penalised by an unfavourable calendar effect and adverse snow conditions. Light vehicle traffic decreased by 1.1%, whereas heavy goods vehicle traffic increased by 5.9%.

Total revenue contributed by APRR (excluding construction revenue) increased by 2.2% to €553m.

As regards the A65 Pau-Langon motorway with A'Liénor as concessionaire, overall traffic rose slightly by 0.1%, (+0.5% for light vehicles and -3.3% for heavy goods vehicles). Total revenue increased by 2.2% to €14.8m.

Overall traffic on the Millau viaduct declined by 3.7% in the first quarter of 2017, with a decrease of 5.7% for light vehicles but an increase of 7.5% for heavy goods vehicles. Total revenue increased by 2.7% to €7.2m.

Revenue contributed by the Pierre-Mauroy Stadium in Lille amounted to €8.4m, while revenue contributed by the Avenir motorway in Senegal was of the same order.

Other concessions and public-private partnerships generated revenue of €23.3m compared with €14.6m in the first quarter of 2016.

3. FINANCIAL SITUATION

The Group's liquidity (as measured by money market investments and undrawn confirmed credit lines) reached €2.1bn at 31 March 2017, up slightly year-on-year, despite a more pronounced variation of the quarterly working capital than in 2016.

4. PROSPECTS

Thanks to the significant orders taken by all Contracting divisions, the order book increased to €12.7bn at 31 March 2017, up by 7.7% year-on-year and by 5.2% from the previous quarter. The order book is securing 13 months of activity for the Contracting divisions.

Thanks to a positive dynamic in Contracting and in Concessions, the Group confirms its outlook for 2017.

Group sales for second quarter 2017 and results for the first half of 2017 will be published on 30 August 2017 after trading hours.
