At constant currencies, sales stand at €33.16 million mainly due to fluctuations of the US dollar, GBP and CAD of around 9% and 8% respectively.


Excluding Home Décor, Printing is up 20% at €16.7 million (+22% for the quarter) with a good tendency during the third quarter in the UK, South Africa, Canada and France.


Home Décor sales at €7.7 million are down 22% for the first 9 months (against -28% for S2) and around 7% for the quarter). The inventory reduction effect noted in the previous press release appears to be over.


Hardware sales for the period (excluding Home Décor) stand at €9.4 million and are, as in September 2012, down 30%. All product lines are concerned expect Trivision with a level of activity similar to the same period of the previous year.


The difficult macro-economic environment and subsequent repercussions on the advertising industry are the cause. Order backlog however is improving.


Outlook


On December 31, 2012, order backlog, essentially for “hardware” stands at €7.1 million compared to €4.7 million at the end of June 2012.


Analysis of the trends noted in no way calls into question the group's policy to pursue the development of innovative energy autonomous signs under exclusive licensing, LED displays and Indoor printing activities. Management remains cautious in the light of current macro-economic uncertainties.
