Boulogne, April 13, 2016
COMBINED ANNUAL AND EXTRAORDINARY SHAREHOLDERS' MEETING OF APRIL 13, 2016
At the Combined Annual and Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting held on April 13, 2016 and chaired by Mr. Hervé Le Bouc, the Shareholders of Colas approved all resolutions put to vote.
Key figures 2015
Consolidated revenue for fiscal 2015 amounted to 12.0 billion euros, down 3.5% from revenue posted in fiscal 2014, due mainly to a slump in the road business in Mainland France.
Current operating income totaled 344 million euros, up 12 million euros from 2014. Good performance for almost every road company in the international and French Overseas units, in particular North America, Europe, Asia, and French Overseas Departments, as well as in the Railways sector made it possible to offset sharp losses in the production and sales of refined products in France and a controlled decrease in operating income in the road business in Mainland France.
Net profit attributable to the Group in 2015 amounted to 234 million euros (604 million euros in 2014 including after tax capital gains from the disposal of shares in Cofiroute for 385 million euros).
Net cash at the end of December 2015 was positive at 560 million euros (682 million euros at the end of December 2014, which benefitted from proceeds from the disposal of Cofiroute shares).
Net profit for the parent company Colas totaled 105 million euros, compared to 826 million euros in 2014, of which 763 million euros of proceeds from the disposal of Cofiroute shares.
Dividend: €5.45 per share
A dividend of €5.45 per share will be paid out in cash as of April 27, 2016 as follows: exdividend date - April 25, 2016, record date - April 26, 2016 and payment date - April 27, 2016. This dividend is to be compared to the ordinary dividend of €4.00 per share distributed the previous year. The total dividend per share distributed in 2015 amounted to €15.40 and included a special dividend of €11.40, which corresponded to half of the cash generated by the disposal of the shares in Cofiroute.
Board of Directors: renewing the appointment of two Directors
The Shareholders have approved the renewal of the appointments of Ms. Catherine Ronge and Mr. Jean-François Guillemin.
