| In EUR million | 2014 | 2013 | Change |
| 1st quarter | 64.3 | 57.7 | +11.4% |
| 2nd quarter | 72.5 | 65.7 | +10.4% |
| Total first half-year | 136.8 | 123.4 | +10.9% |
| Thereof maintenance | 55.8 | 53.7 | +3.9% |
In the U.S. and European markets, whose recovery is still to be felt, product sales (+16.2%) are fueled by acquisitions, market share growth and replacement of ancient installations. Our Group has achieved good performances in the U.S., the U.K. and France. In return, maintenance is significantly impacted by the slowing down of the lift modernisation business in France (market -40%, PACA AS -20%).
A strong order intake in the first 6 months (+12.6%) and a higher order book (+18%) give hope of a stronger growth in the second half-year.
2014 targets:
agta record reiterates its sales growth target of +9% to +11% over the full year.
In May, our Group has acquired two dealers (Kuala Lumpur and Toronto) with cumulated annual sales of EUR 3m.
Next press release: half-year results 2014, on 11 September 2014 (after market closing).
