Consolidated sales reported by Eiffage for the first quarter of 2014 came to €3,037m, up by 4.5% on a reported basis compared with the first quarter of 2013, which corresponds to an increase of 2.8% like-for-like.
At the Contracting activities, sales came to €2,495m in the quarter ended 31 March 2014, up by 4.5% on a reported basis and by 2.9% like-for-like.
Construction: sales of €843m (up by 11.7% on a reported basis and by 11.8% like-for-like)
In Concessions, total traffic on the APRR network, as measured by the number of kilometres travelled, increased by 0.7% in the first quarter of 2014 compared with the same period in 2013. Light vehicle traffic increased by 0.5% and heavy goods vehicle traffic by 1.9%.
Given the revision of toll rates in 1 February 2014 (up 0.80% on average for APRR and up 0.84% on average for AREA), consolidated revenue contributed by APRR increased to €494m, up 2.1% compared with the first quarter of 2013.
As regards the A65 Pau-Langon motorway operated by A'Liénor, there was another sharp increase in overall traffic, up 11.6%, with increases of 7.9% for light vehicles and of 73.8% for heavy goods vehicles. Toll revenues increased by 12.3% to €12.0m in the first quarter of 2014.
Overall traffic on the Millau viaduct in the first quarter of 2014 was up 6.1%, with increases of 5.1% for light vehicles and of 11.8% for heavy goods vehicles. Toll revenues increased by 12.8% to nearly €6m in the first quarter of 2014.
Toll revenues for the Avenir motorway in Senegal exceeded €4m in the first quarter of 2014.
Revenue contributed by the Grand Stade de Lille amounted to €5.2m, up from €3m in the first quarter of 2013.
Other concessions and public-private partnerships generated revenue of €20.4m, up from €14.1m in the first quarter of 2013. Centor 36, the company party to the public-private partnership for the Châteauroux police station, was sold at the start of 2014. This company generated revenue of €1.5m in 2013.
The Group's liquidity (measured by money market investments and unused confirmed credit lines) exceeded €1bn at 31 March 2014, up from the previous year. It benefited from the ramping up of the commercial paper programme as well as a €100m private debt placement for five years done in January 2014.
In addition, APRR has completed two bond issues amounting to €500m each, at what were the lowest levels ever: one in January, when it placed six-year notes offering a coupon of 2.25%, the other in April, placing five-year notes offering a variable coupon with a 75bp margin.
Given the strong order intake at all divisions, the order book reached €12.4bn on 1 April 2014. This represents an increase of 5.8% compared with 1 January 2014 (but a 2.8% decrease compared with 1 April 2013). The order book is equivalent to nearly 12.3 months of activity for the Contracting divisions, supporting the management guidance, which is for sales of €14.4bn for the year ending 31 December 2014.
