DELFINGEN INDUSTRY

4th quarter 2008

Feb. 11th 2009

2008 stable sales

Despite the strong decrease of automotive markets in 2008 (-21% in America and -12% in Europe), the sales of the Group Delfingen Industry remain stable over the year (+0.8%). They progressed at constant rate (+4.0%), due to the acquisition of the 'wiring harness protection' division of M&Q in the ANCA area during the first quarter.

In the 4th quarter, manufacturers and OEMs, both in Europe (-22%) and America (-25%), did not order as much, resulting in a 16.3% decrease of the Group sales with:

• a progression in the ANCA area (+9% at constant rate) that fell strongly compared to the one of the 3rd auarter (+31%).

• a decrease of sales in the FAAS area of -40%

In this context, the Group Delfingen Industry made adjustments in its organization and its production capabilities.

This fiscal year 2008 will be marked by a high decline of the operating income and a net profit in deficit
