Sustained growth in activity further bolstered by non recurring billings
of development costs
In H1 2011, the Group posted a revenue, excluding non-recurring items, of €261.3million, up 20.4% year on year. At a constant €/$ exchange rate, organic growth stood also at 20.4%, hedging unwinds offsetting a weakening US $.
The Group also recorded in Q1 2011 an additional non recurring revenue of €55 million corresponding to billing of development costs (refer to press release dated March, 22 2011). As a result, total H1 2011 consolidated revenue reached €316.3 million.
All divisions are experiencing strong growth; as of June 30, 2011 the Group Latécoère records its fifth consecutive quarter of growth, capturing thus the full effect of the cycle upturn of the sector, which is currently speeding up as shown during the recent Paris Air Show.
FY 2011 projected revenue revised upward
Based on the latest delivery rates released by aircraft manufacturers, the Group revises upward its anticipated growth for 2011 with global sales change now expected over 20%. Excluding non recurring billings of development costs, revenue growth initially expected between 5 to 10 % should be over 10%.
