/Ancenis, 28 January 2021 – Michel Denis, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated: "The group closes the

year 2020 in line with revenues of1585 million slightly above our expectations and with a record order intake in the last quarter. This sequence of recovery, much stronger than initially anticipated, reflects the tremendous work of the teams and gives the group a new impetus for 2021.

In the fourth quarter, customer requests accelerated month after month to end with a magnitude previously unknown until December. All geographies and markets were dynamic, including European and North American rental companies. We thus ended the year with the second highest level of order book we have never experienced before.

This increase in our backlog reinforces the group's commercial positioning. It leads us to accelerate our production rates on all sites. This exercise will involve our entire supply chain. However, the health context and economic uncertainties could impact business in 2021.

Given this much more favorable context and these exogenous pressures, we anticipate sales growth for 2021 of more than 10% over the previous year. "
