QUARTERLY ACTIVITY REPORT
1st quarter
Financial year 2012-2013
The consolidated turnover as at the 31st of December 2012 showed the following trends:
| (in thousands of Euros) | Financial year 12/13 | Financial year 11/12 | Trend N / N-1 |
Electronics | 38,599 | 40,410 | - 4.5 % |
| Telemetry | 7,853 | 7,899 | - 0.11 % |
| Signalling | 32,624 | 30,688 | + 6.3 % |
| Total | 79,076 | 78,997 | + 0.1 % |
We note:
In Electronics, a decrease in activity that reflects the evolution of our customers' contracts. Revived commercial action begun last year should favourably impact business from the second half of the year.
In Telemetry, that Turnover has stagnated but does not call into question prospects of increased activity for the year.
In Signalling, that growth was driven in part by the end of major contracts. However, in a context that is still difficult, the year's Turnover should slightly decrease compared to that of the previous year.
Therefore, despite a depressed environment, the Group remains confident in its outlook and maintains a high level of investment which strengthens its positions in each of its business lines.
