Leisure vehicles
In the third quarter, sales of motor-caravans (+22.2%) and touring caravans (+19.3%) confirm their favourable momentum and those of static caravans (-1.0%) have almost reached the high level recorded last year.
Good growth in sales of accessories (+10.2%) reflects the improvement of traffic in leisure vehicle sales outlets.
Leisure equipment
Leisure equipment activity remains on the whole affected by the weakness of consumption. Sales of trailers are stable (-0.2%) while those of camping equipment are down (-9.4%). Thanks to the development of internet sales, garden equipment displays in this context an atypical increase of 6.4%.
Financial situation
Third quarter results reinforce the forecast of a return to profit from the current financial year. The conjunction of recovering profitability and of the continued reduction in working capital requirements supported a further reinforcement of Trigano's financial structure. In particular, net debt that reached about €150 M as of 31 May 2009 has been reduced to zero as of 31 May 2010.
Prospects
The clearly positive reception by distribution networks of the new caravan and motor-caravan ranges, resolutely innovative, should allow for the continuation of sales growth and an improved profitability in 2010/2011. The positioning of Trigano compared to its competition should also result in the gain of new market shares particularly in the field of motor-caravan.
