Business momentum in line with the development plan

The Figeac Aéro Group saw a positive start to the 2016/17 financial year with growth of +23% (+24% at constant exchange rates) and consolidated revenue of €146.1million at 30 September 2016, perfectly in line with published targets.

The first half-year dynamic is essentially driven by the Aerostructures business (84% of total revenue), an increase of 27.4% to €123.3 million, and continues to take advantage of the ramp-up of the major aeronautical programmes.

An expected ramp-up over the second half-year

With a sound order book, the Group accelerates its growth dynamic over the second half-year 2016/2017. This second half-year begins at a sustained rhythm, with strong expected growth driven mainly by the Airbus A350 programme and the ramp-up of engine part deliveries for the LEAP programme, in which the Group won two Long Term Agreements worth $500 million and $40 million.

In line with its action plan for the current financial year (ending on 31 March 2017), the Group confirms its annual financial targets with expected record revenue growth of 35% to around €340 million and an EBITDA margin[2] of more than €78 million, which would be an historic level.

Backed by the success of its round of funding, the Group has committed itself to a far-reaching business development plan and to forging ahead with this growth drive. The March 2020 objectives are affirmed with revenue between €650 and €750 million[3], i.e. an almost three-fold increase in four years, and an EBITDA margin³ at current levels.

Upcoming release: 15 December 2016, first half-year 2016/2017 results (before the market opens)
