Sales increased by 21% after the entering of the acquisitions in India, China and Germany into the consolidation scope. At constant exchange rate and scope, the sales have increased by 3.2%.

The dynamic growth in sales for the automotive industry is particularly noticeable in the United States (+9%) and in China (+41%) whereas sales in Europe (3%) suffered from a difficult market context.

The group's operating performance is lower than it was for the first halfyear of 2013 but the results at that period were particularly high.

The net profit (€ 2.4 M) increased by 6.6%.

The financial structure is strong: the net financial debt is of € 28.4 M, integrating the acquisitions.

DELFINGEN confirms its sales forecast of about € 155 M.

DELFINGEN is confident on its capacity to improve its operating margin, thanks to the growth and its accelerated efforts on productivity.
