Sustained growth in activity
H2 2013 revenue reached €310.7 million, up 6.9% versus H2 2012.
The Group closes FY 2013 with a €621.1 million revenue, up 6.9% on a year on year basis (excluding non-recurring items). At a constant €/\$ exchange rate, organic growth stood at +8.7%.
The Group recalls that during Q1 2012, non-recurring revenue of €62.5 million corresponding to billing of development costs was recorded.
Services activities significantly contributed to this growth both in Aerostructure (+13.9%) and within Interconnexion Systems, in a context of sustained production rates.
An order book which amounts to more than 4 years of revenue
Based on a €/US\$ exchange rate of 1.35 and firm orders announced by aircraft manufacturers, the order book amounts to €2.58 billion as of 31 December 2013 up 22% compared to the order book recorded as of 31 December 2012 (€2.1 billion). It represents more than 4 years of revenue.
In addition to the orders recorded by the main aircraft manufacturers, the order book growth shows the strong momentum, both in Aerostructure activities, with the new Embraer contract for E-Jet E2 program doors (cf. press release on September 2nd, 2013), and Interconnection Systems.
