The beginning of 2018 shows that our activity remains well oriented in almost all geographical areas and business sectors. ALTEN confirmed its main reference listings and acquired new ones mostly abroad. Assuming similar economic conditions, ALTEN should achieve a satisfactory positive organic growth again.

Appendix to Press Release:
The ALTEN Group uses alternative performance measures especially selected to follow up on its operational activities. The Group has chosen these measures as they supply additional information allowing the users of periodic financial information to have a comprehensive understanding of the Group's performance. Such alternative performance measures are complementary to IFRS standards.
Growth on a like‐for‐like basis (and constant exchange rate) is calculated excluding the effects of exchange rate variations and the variations of the consolidation scope on a chosen period.
Exchange rate impacts are measured by converting the revenue of the period with the average exchange rate from the previous period.
Scope variation impacts are measured excluding acquisitions, revenue of the period and for transfers, revenue of the previous period, in order to create a scope which is identical to the previous period.
This alternative measure enables to identify the real performance of the Group in terms of activity on the chosen period.
