NB: In the third and fourth quarters, the scope of consolidation was exactly the same in 2012 and 2013. The 2013 figures reflect the changes in scope of consolidation resulting from the disposal of Anafi in late May 2012 and the consolidation since 1 February 2012 of international operations managed from Dubai.
*at current exchange rate
In the last three months of 2013, revenue was unchanged compared with fourth-quarter 2012, both in France and in international markets, in which the Group remains impacted by an unfavourable exchange rate with the British pound. In France, the strategic nuclear and aerospace businesses expanded, unlike the other segments. In addition to the unfavourable currency effect, slower growth in international markets reflected the decline in the aerospace businesses in the United Kingdom, Germany and Spain. On the other hand, business in North America, Belgium and Romania rose sharply.
For the full year, consolidated revenue amounted to €871.4 million, an increase of 1.8% as reported and of 1.6% on an organic basis.
Revenue from complex infrastructure engineering (42% of the consolidated total) rose by 4% as reported over the full year and by 3.4% on an organic basis. The nuclear business was up a still-solid 10%, led by upgrades to France's installed base and robust growth in the UK.
Assystem had 11,045 employees at 31 December 2013, representing a net increase of 300
people since year-end 2012.
The operational invoicing rate stood at 91% for the full year, unchanged from 2012, and amounted to 89.7% in the fourth quarter.
For the full year, Assystem is confirming its operating margin objective at the lower end of the 6%-6.5% target range.
