3 rd quarter 2008: Sales are still progressing

November 12th, 2008

In millions of euros	2008	2007 pro forma*	Variation	Variation excluding currencies effect
Sales	73.8	69.5	+6.2%	+12.1%
Of which
Europe – Africa – South America (EAAS)	42.1	42.4	- 0.6%	- 0.6%
North & Central America – Asia (ANCA)	31.7	27.1	+16.8%	+32.1%

Sales of the Delfingen Industry Group increased strongly (+12.1% at constant rate), due to the acquisition, during the 1st quarter, of the 'wiring harness protection' division of M&Q. It concerned the ANCA area.

That progression is however slowed down on the 3rd quarter (+6.1%):

• A progression in the ANCA area (+31%) that dropped compared to the one of the 2nd quarter (+62%),
• A decrease of sales in the EAAS area of -11%, due to the market.

The Delfingen Industry Group is anticipating a strong fall of the automotive market in the 4th quarter. In this context, Delfingen Industry:

• Expects sales in the 4th quarter 2008 equal to the one of the 4th quarter 2007,
• Took drastic measures to adjust its expenses. The effects will be detected as from January 2009,
• And notes a significant temporary weakening of its operating profit.
