Paris, December 11, 2015
The Elior Group (Euronext Paris – ISIN: FR 0011950732), one of the world's leading operators in the catering and services industry, today released its results for FY 2014- 2015, corresponding to the twelve months ended September 30, 2015.
Commenting on these results, Philippe Salle – the Group's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer – stated: "In FY 2014-2015, we not only met all of the objectives we set ourselves but actually exceeded them, with organic growth coming in at 3%. This clearly demonstrates the underlying strength of our business as well as our ability to seize growth opportunities while safeguarding our profit margins. During the year we carried out several acquisitions and launched our 2016-2020 strategic plan aimed at accelerating the Group's development. In connection with this new strategy, three of the eig projects making up our Tsubaki transformation plan have now begun, and all of our people are focused on our strong corporate values with a view to driving our success. We expect to start reaping the benefits of this plan as from FY 2015-2016, generating profitable growth that will place us firmly on the path towards achieving our 2020 ambitions."

Business development was extremely buoyant in FY 2014-2015. Retention rate for the Contract Catering & Services business line was negatively affected by the Group's deliberate strategy of taking a more selective approach to renewal of contracts, particularly in France and Italy. A number of major contracts were won during the year. For Contract Catering & Services, these included contracts with La Poste, the Vedici clinics and Safran in France, the Can Misses hospital in Spain, the Vatican museum in Italy and St Albans Cathedral in the United Kingdom, and for Concession Catering they included contracts with Los Angeles Airport in the United States and SNCF Gare & Connexions in France.
Consolidated revenue totaled €5,674 million in FY 2014-2015. The 6.2% year-on-year increase reflects solid organic growth of 3.0% over the period as a whole, with an acceleration to 3.9% in the fourth quarter compared with the same period of FY 2013- 2014. The October 2014 acquisition of Lexington in the United Kingdom added 0.8% to revenue growth, net of the effect of the sales of (i) non-strategic concession catering operations in Argentina and Morocco in December 2013, and (ii) non-strategic operations in the Education market in France in July 2015.
Changes in exchange rates had a 2.4% net positive impact during the year, mainly due to the strengthening of the U.S. dollar and pound sterling against the euro. The portion of revenue generated by international operations rose to 50% from 47% in FY 2013-2014.
Contract Catering & Services revenue was up €222 million, or 5.9%, on the FY 2013-2014 figure, coming in at €3,995 million and accounting for 70% of total consolidated revenue.
Organic growth was 2.1% over the year, driven by a particularly strong performance in international markets.
Net of the impact of the sale of non-strategic operations in the Education market, changes in the scope of consolidation pushed up Contract Catering & Services revenue by 1.2%, led by the Lexington acquisition which had a €51 million positive effect.
The calendar effect – corresponding to the year-on-year difference in the number of working days – was only slight during the year, representing 0.1% of revenue, and changes in exchange rates had a positive 2.5% impact.
In France, revenue reached €2,136 million, with organic growth amounting to 0.7%.
In international markets, revenue rose 12.6% year on year to €1,859 million. Organic growth was 3.8%, propelled by the United States, the United Kingdom and Spain, while revenue in Italy contracted, reflecting the decision to be more selective in responding to bids and to withdraw from low profit-making contracts. The acquisition of Lexington in the United Kingdom and positive currency effects generated additional growth of 3.1% and 5.7%. respectively
Concession Catering revenue advanced by 7.1% year on year to €1,679 million, representing 30% of total consolidated revenue.
Organic growth for the year as a whole came to 5.3%, with an acceleration in the fourth quarter to 6.4%. Changes in the scope of consolidation – resulting from the sale in December 2013 of the Group's concession catering subsidiaries in Argentina and Morocco – trimmed 0.2% off revenue, while changes in exchange rates, notably for the U.S. dollar, had a positive 2.1% impact.
Revenue generated in France, Northern Europe and Italy rose 6.1% year on year to €1,006 million, with the increase entirely due to organic growth (particularly in the second half, when it came to 7.0%) as there was no change in the scope of consolidation during the year.
In Spain, Portugal and the Americas, growth of 8.7% over the year drove up revenue to €673 million. Organic growth came to 4.0%, with a sharp 6.0% rise in the last quarter.
Consolidated EBITDA climbed by €28 million to €475 million in FY 2014-2015 and represented 8.4% of revenue, unchanged from the previous year.
EBITDA for the Contract Catering & Services business line climbed to €304 million from €293 million, but its EBITDA margin edged down to 7.6%.
Concession Catering EBITDA amounted to €179 million (versus €159 million in FY 2013- 2014) and accounted for 10.7% of revenue, up 0.6 of a percentage point year on year.
Non-current items represented a net expense of €35 million and included (i) non-recurring items for €26 million such as restructuring costs recorded in France, Italy, Spain and the United States, losses arising on the sale of non-strategic assets and the closure of unprofitable sites, and (ii) amortization of intangible assets recognized during the purchase price allocation processes for acquisitions for €9 million.
At €107 million, net financial expense was considerably lower than in FY 2013-2014, reflecting (i) the early repayment of a portion of the Group's debt following the IPO in June 2014, (ii) the debt refinancing carried out in December 2014 and May 2015, and (iii) the better financial conditions obtained for the Group's securitization programs in the second quarter of FY 2014-2015. This item was, however, adversely affected during the year by non-recurring costs related to the Group's euro and US dollar debt refinancing and the cancelation of interest rate swaps on its euro-denominated senior debt.
The Group's income tax expense rose to €68 million from €41 million. The year-on-year increase reflects the higher level of taxable profit in FY 2014-2015 compared with the previous year, as the observed tax rate was stable at around 40%.
Attributable profit for the period was up sharply, amounting to €107 million versus €48 million in FY 2013-2014. This drove an increase in reported earnings per share to €0.65 from €0.38. Adjusted earnings per share4 were €0.79 compared with €0.52 in 2013- 2014.
Operating cash flow5 represented a net €330 million inflow in FY 2014-2015, up 9.6% on the €301 million recorded for the previous year when it was boosted by €17 million due to one-off receivables sales in Spain following the Spanish government's decision to reduce its payment terms. The year-on-year increase was due to higher consolidated EBITDA, a further positive contribution from changes in working capital, and tight control over capex.
At €189 million, free cash flow6 was stable year on year as it was weighed down by €85 million in non-recurring items (versus €68 million in FY 2013-2014). This resulted in an EBITDA conversion rate of 40%.
Net debt amounted to €1,452 million at September 30, 2015, up €72 million on the September 30, 2014 figure as a result of (i) acquisitions carried out during FY 2014-2015 (Lexington, STARR and purchases of treasury shares for the buyout of Emesa's minority interest in Areas), (ii) the dividend payment in the third quarter, and (iii) non-recurring factors, such as the refinancing of the Group's debt. The Group's leverage ratio7 stood at 3.04x EBITDA at September 30, 2015 compared with 3.09x one year earlier.
In view of the Group's results for FY 2014-2015, at the upcoming Annual General Meeting the Board of Directors will recommend a dividend payment of €0.32 per share to be made in 2016, corresponding to a payout ratio of around 40% of adjusted EPS4 .

The business development outlook for both contract and concession catering is promising, with varying growth profiles depending on the geographic regions and market segments concerned.
The global contract catering market currently represents €430 billion, with an average outsourcing rate at a currently low level of 35%. This, combined with the Group's strategic positioning, offers us significant growth opportunities.
The concession catering market represents some €26 billion and is growing at an annual rate of around 4%. The Group is well positioned to capitalize on this structural growth and increase its market shares, particularly in the airports market.
In line with its 2016-2020 strategic plan, the Group has embarked on its transformation process with a view to accelerating its development. We expect to see the initial benefits of this new momentum in FY 2015-2016 and our objectives for the fiscal year are to achieve:
