Consolidated sales reported by EIFFAGE for the first quarter of 2012 came to €3,041m, up year-on-year by 1.8% on a reported basis and by 2.3% at constant consolidation scope and exchange rates.
At the Contracting activities, sales increased to €2,536m, up by 1.4% on a reported basis and by 2% at constant consolidation scope and exchange rates.
In Concessions, traffic on the APRR network, as measured by the number of kilometres travelled, decreased by 0.5% compared with the first quarter of 2011. Light vehicle traffic declined by 0.2% year-on-year. Heavy goods vehicle traffic continued to be affected by the deterioration in the economic environment and decreased by 2.4% compared with the first quarter of 2011, when traffic was particularly dynamic. However, this moderate decrease in traffic was more than offset by toll rate revisions on 1 February 2012, as a result of which sales contributed by APRR increased to €477m, up 1.8% compared with the first quarter of 2011.
Traffic on the Millau Viaduct declined by 4.2% compared with the first quarter of 2011 (when performances benefited from a positive calendar effect as well as favourable weather conditions), with decreases of 4.4% for light vehicles and of 2.9% for heavy goods vehicles. Tolls receipts in the first quarter of 2012 increased by 0.4% to €5.3m.
The A65 Pau-Langon motorway operated by A'Liénor recorded a 4.4% overall increase in traffic (79.6 million kilometres travelled) at the start of the second full year of operation. Heavy goods vehicle traffic rose more sharply than light vehicle traffic (increases of 12.9% and 3.9%, respectively). Tolls receipts increased to €9.8m, up 9.3% compared with the first quarter of 2011.
With traffic of 24,000 vehicles a day, the first section of the Avenir motorway in Senegal was a resounding commercial success. Tolls receipts reached €1m in the first quarter of 2012.
Facilities operated under public private partnerships generated sales of €9m in the first quarter of 2012.
At the start of April 2012, EIFFAGE signed two public-private partnerships with the Seine-Saint-Denis Department to design and build eight secondary schools in the Department and then to maintain these for a period of 20 years upon completing delivery. These projects represent an investment of more than €200m.
The credit lines contracted in 2006 for the acquisition of the APRR group were refinanced in February 2012 for an amount of €3.5bn and for a term of five years. Coming after the renewal of the revolving credit line at the end of 2010 and the negotiation of a trade-receivables securitisation programme in May 2011, this latest refinancing operation has increased considerably the average maturity of the Group's debt.
The Group's liquidity (measured by the sum of investments on the money market and non utilised credit authorisations) exceeded €900m at 31 March 2012, compared with slightly less than €500m in 2011 at the same date.
The order book stood at €14.1bn on 1 April 2012, which represents increases of 4.9% since the start of 2012 and of 20.8 year-on-year (1.8% excluding the order for the future Brittany-Loire valley high-speed rail line). On average, and excluding this project, the order book represents 12 month of activity for the Contracting divisions, supporting management guidance, which is for sales of €14bn in 2012.
