Sustained growth in activity, consistent with 2013 guidance

For the first 9 months of 2013, the Group posted a €450.5 million revenue (+8.1% year on year excluding non-recurring items). At a constant €/$ exchange rate, organic growth stood at +9.4%.

The Group recalls that a €62.5 million non-recurring revenue was recorded in Q1 2012 corresponding to billing of development costs.


In addition to increasing production rates, services activities significantly contributed to this growth both in Aerostructure (+15.2%) and within Interconnexion Systems.


The overall expected 5% growth for 2013 is supported by the performance recorded over the first 9 months of 2013.
