Consolidated sales reported by EIFFAGE for the fourth quarter of 2013 came to €3.9bn, up by 3.8% compared with the fourth quarter of 2012.

Consolidated sales in the year ended 31 December 2013 came to nearly €14.3bn, up year-on-year by 1.6% on a reported basis and by 0.8% like-for-like.

At the Contracting activities, sales came to €12.0bn in the year ended 31 December 2013, up by 1.2% on a reported basis and by 0.2% like-for-like.

Construction: sales of €3,715m (down by 2.2% on a reported basis and by 2.0% like-for-like)

In France, sales (which remain brisker in the Ile-de-France region than in the other ones) declined to €3,023m (down by 2.9%), while order intake remained strong. In Property Development, the number of reservations reached a new annual record high of 3,267, compared with 2,785 in 2012.
In the rest of Europe, sales increased to €692m (up by 0.9% on a reported basis and by 1.7% likefor-like). Activity declined slightly in the Benelux countries (down 1.7%) but recovered strongly in Poland (up 15.9%)

Public Works: €4,215m (up by 7.0% on a reported basis and by 6.0% like-for-like)

In France, sales increased to €3,546m (up 10.1%), due notably to work on the Bretagne-Pays de la Loire (BPL) high-speed rail line project, which is progressing to plan, and, more generally, to the favourable weather conditions in the last months of the year.
In the rest of Europe, sales decreased to €530m (down by 10.2%). There were decreases in Germany (down 7.2%) and especially in Spain (down 17.6%), where the economic environment remains depressed.
In the rest of the world, sales increased to €139m (up by 6.9%).

Energy: sales of €3,159m (down by 2.2% on a reported basis and by 2.3% like-for-like)

In France, sales declined to €2,560m (down 3.9%), the services sector being particularly affected and to a lesser extent the industrial sector.
In the rest of Europe, overall sales were stable at €523m (compared with €524m in 2012), with another decrease in Spain (down 9.5%) but a sharp recovery in Portugal (up 36.0%).
In the rest of the world, sales increased to €76m (up by 81.0%).

In France, sales declined to €653m (down 9.6%) in the case of Industrial Services and Metallic Construction, whereas Facades (Goyer) recorded strong growth (up 37.2%).
In the rest of Europe, sales increased to €180m, up by 4.9% like-for-like and by 74.8% on a reported basis, principally due to the acquisition of Smulders (present mainly in Belgium as well as the Netherlands, Germany and Poland; this group is specialised in offshore energy and complex metallic works), which has contributed €72m to sales in 2013 since its acquisition.
In the rest of the world, sales increased to €81m (up by 20.9%).

4 - PROSPECTS

Given the strong order intake, up 7.4% compared with 2012, the order book reached €11.7bn at 1 January 2014.

Although the order book declined slightly by 3.5% compared with 1 January 2013, it represents nearly 12 months of activity for the Contracting divisions

Results for the year ended 31 December 2013 will be published on 26 February 2014 after trading hours.
