In € Million 

 

During the first six months of the 2007/2008 fiscal year, (1 April to 30 September 2007), the Faiveley Group made consolidated sales of € 316.5 million, a 16.8% increase compared to the same period of the previous year. This is an increase of 15.4% at a fixed exchange rate and constant group structure. This is a considerable increase when compared to last year’s first semester, which was subject to relatively low sales, due to the shift of the delivery schedule to the end of the year.

 

Even though growth for the second semester’s activity will be lower, the Group confirms that perspective growth in sales for the current year should be above that of the previous year, which was +8.9%.

 

The order book has continued to increase to € 938 million, compared to € 814 million as of 30 September and € 862 million as of 31 March 2007 (Espas Group included).

 

The Faiveley Group is one of the world’s leading suppliers of railway systems and services, with six product lines: air conditioning, electro-mechanics, on-board electronics, braking systems, couplers and customer services.

In a strong international market, Faiveley works closely with train operators and car-builders, and uses its commercial and industrial organisation to ensure its development on the global market.
