Aerospace division (78.3% of the turnover against 82.8% at Q1 2019): restated from the base effects linked to the exchange rate and Brexit, the decrease of activity is limited to 7.4%, it is related to the COVID-19 impact which has caused a strong slowdown from mid-March 2020.

Simulation division (21.3% of the turnover against 15.8% at Q1 2019): pursues its sustained growth at +29.5%. All sectors, automobile, rail and defense, are progressing.

Evolution
(as %)
Development 8.7 20.1% -4.3%
Serie 14.8 34.2% -14.9%
Products 19.8 45.7% +6.9%

Despite the Brexit base effect on the thermoplastic activity, the mix of activity remains favourable to products with an increase of 6.9%. These represents almost 46% of the consolidated turnover. The Services activities (Development and Serie) are gathering the slowdown with -11.3%, they represents 54.27% of the turnover.

Perspectives

The containment measures taken by each of our 11 countries of establishment and the strong decline of the air traffic will severely penalize the second quarter. The commercial aviation sector, which represents around 37% of SOGECLAIR's activity, could suffer for several semesters, while the business aviation, space and defense sectors, which represents for almost one third of the group's activity might start up again at the end of 2020.

SOGECLAIR has been actively mobilized since mid-March on the conditions for the activity recovery by protecting the health of its employees. The Group has secured its cash flow with nearly €50 million available and mobilizable to adapt its organization to new market data.

Next announcement: turnover for Q2 2020, on July 22th 2020 after closing of the Stock Market.
