A stronger than anticipated activity by year end
H2 2012 revenue reached €290.7 million, up 12.1% versus H2 2011. The Group closes FY 2012 with a higher than expected growth at 11.6% (excluding non-recurring items), due in particular to achievements recorded in reducing supply chain tensions in a fast growing production rates context.
At a constant €/$ exchange rates, organic growth stood at +7.8%; the hedging strategy implemented has allowed the Group to partially benefit of a year on year strengthening of US $ against Euro.

Tunisian crisis

Based on the latest delivery rates released by aircraft manufacturers, the Group anticipates for 2013 a further growth of its activities with total revenue up by about 5% versus FY 2012 revenue excluding non-recurring billings of development costs (€ 581.1 million).
Order book: about 3.5 years of revenues
As of December 31, 2012 and on the basis of a €/$ exchange rate of 1.35, the order book – which includes only firm orders announced by aircraft manufacturers – amounts to €2.1 billion. Almost constant versus December 31, 2011 which amounted to €2.2 billion, its evolution reflects good renewal rate of aircraft manufacturers' backlogs on programs where the Group is positioned.
