On a same number of working days, organic growth was 4.5%.

• In general, the business experienced a lower growth this quarter due to a general slowdown in the economy. For the Group, in particular, the business has been impacted by the restructuring carried out in Spain, the difficulties faced by automakers in France and an unfavorable calendar.
• As in 2012, the most dynamic sectors are Aerospace, Energy and the Rail.

2013 OUTLOOK

• In order to respond to the financing of its acquisition policy, Alten has more than 75M€ of net cash at the end of March 2013.
• The activity ratio should still improve in the 2nd quarter despite, longer decision cycles, a tighter management of the investment budget, a reduced reactivity of the purchasers due to a lack of visibility.

Despite an unfavorable calendar, organic growth is expected to be around 2% at the end of June 2013, in line with forecasts of the Group.
