Defense, Space & Security

With September year-to-date revenue of € 63.4 million and the anticipated growth in Q4 2011 thanks to current deployments on air defense programs and homeland security, the business unit confirms its return to growth initiated mid-2010.

Orders intake for the first 9 months amounted to € 42.5 million, up 24.6% versus 2010. In the space sector, CS continues its development at ESA (European Space Agency) with the maintenance of all IT ESOC (European Space Operation Center) infrastructure business.

Aeronautics, Energy & Industry

Aeronautics, Energy & Industry Business revenue is stabilizing at € 49.0 million in the first 9 months of the year.

services. The group is also reinforcing its role in the French nuclear industry by deploying its command - control and safety offers to meet the "post-Fukushima" challenges.

Transportation

Strong revenue growth in Q3 2011 (14.9% versus Q3 2010) confirms the momentum registered for several semesters, thanks to the ramp-up of the toll system project in Chile and the successful opening of the A1 motorway toll system in Poland.

The good level of orders, with a 1.2 book-to-bill ratio at the end of September 2011, allows to anticipate a steady growth for this activity, more than ever well oriented to capture market opportunities.
