Outlook for the current year

In 2016 the PCAS group forecasts an increase in sales, excluding external growth, in all its operations, which should lead to a new improvement in the results.

The PCAS group has the necessary resources to continue implementing its ambitious investment program and is considering external growth opportunities.

Dividend

Under those circumstances, the Board of Directors will ask the next Shareholder's Meeting to approve payment of a dividend of 0.12 Euros per share (including the interim dividend of 0.06 Euros per share paid in September 2015).
