For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, Plastic Omnium Automotive reported a 9.5% increase in revenue at constant scope of consolidation and exchange rates, compared with a 7.6% rise in worldwide automobile production. The increase was driven by strong growth in North America and Asia, which together accounted for 47% of the Company's automotive revenue.

In North America, Plastic Omnium strengthened its positions with the start-up of the fuel system plant in Huron, Michigan, where all production from the Milan plant acquired from Ford in June 2011 is gradually being transferred. In addition, Plastic Omnium Auto Exterior increased its backlog with a contract to supply bumpers for the BMW X3 and X4, in addition to the bumpers for the X5 and X6 already delivered to the BMW plant in Spartanburg, South Carolina. In Mexico, the new plants in Puebla also began manufacturing bumpers and fuel tanks for the Volkswagen Group.

In Asia, five new plants are being built, four in China and one in India. Plastic Omnium also acquired all outstanding shares in its exterior automotive components businesses in India, in which it previously held a 60% stake.

At constant scope of consolidation and exchange rates, Plastic Omnium Environment revenue rose by 1.5%. In France, Plastic Omnium's contract with Paris was renewed and expanded to include 14 of the city's districts. A contract was also signed to deploy an incentive-based waste collection invoicing system for all 180,000 residents of the Greater Besançon area. In international markets, after installing bins made from non-food sugarcane in Rio de Janeiro, other major contracts were signed, including Malaysia, which reflects the Company's strategy of developing in countries with high growth potential.

In addition, Plastic Omnium strengthened its strategic commitment to maintaining its independence by increasing Burelle SA's stake in the Company to 56.1% through a share cancellation in September. At the same time, two private bonds – one in France and the other in Germany – were issued for a total of €370 million. The notes, which have average maturity of six years, will strengthen the Group's range of financing options and support its growth strategy.

The customer, country and product mix, will once again enable Compagnie Plastic Omnium to outpace growth in worldwide automobile production, which is expected to increase by more than 5% over the full year.
