BUSINESS

In the first half of 2013, business increased 2.5% (-0.3% in France; +7.6% abroad). On a like-for-like basis including exchange rate effect and despite 2 fewer working days compared to the first half of 2012, business increased 1.6% (-0.3% in France; +5% abroad).

On a same number of working days, organic growth would have amounted to 3.4%.

In the second quarter, business grew by 3.30%. Organic growth was 2.4% (-0.3% in France; +7% abroad).

1

  • The activity ratio, close to 92%, remained satisfactory.
  • The Rail, Aeronautics and Energy sectors are the most dynamic.
  • Outside of France, Germany and Italy, grew substantially.

EXTERNAL GROWTH

In Belgium, Alten has acquired a company in technology consulting (2012 Turnover: 13M€; 110 consultants).

2013 OUTLOOK

  • In the first half of 2013, business, in slight growth, reflects Alten's ability to expand its business in a shrinking market. If the economic environment remains unchanged, organic growth should be close to 2% in 2013.
  • Alten will also continue its policy of acquisitions, mainly abroad.

Next event: Publication of half year results on September 25th, 2013.
