Automotive revenue was hit by the steep drop in the global automobile market, whose impact was acerbated early in the year by carmaker inventory drawdowns. In all, worldwide automobile production fell 37% in the first quarter, with declines of 42% in Europe and 52% in North America.

Plastic Omnium expects worldwide automobile production to contract by around 25% over the full year.

The Environment Division demonstrated firm resilience in France, thanks in particular to its long-term service contracts, but still felt the effects of the recession, particularly in Spain, the UK and Germany.

The PO 2009 cost-savings plan is being implemented on schedule. The Group confirms that its debt will be lower at 30 June than at 31 December 2008, except in the event of a carmaker default.
