Preferisci Informazione.News su Google

The operating performance in the first nine months of 2011 was robust, in keeping with the first half of 2011 and in line with the 2011 roadmap.

The Bouygues group reported a 3% increase in consolidated sales (up 1% like-for-like and at constant exchange rates) to €23.7 billion. Current operating profit was up 1% to €1,338 million. Net profit attributable to the Group stood at €794 million. The change in net profit compared with the first nine months of 2010
(-€129 million) was mainly due to the lower contribution from Alstom.

The financial structure is very healthy, with net debt stable vs. end-September 2010 and substantial liquidity.

Business areas

The Construction businesses recorded good commercial activity and improved profitability.

Order intake remained at a high level (€8.3 billion over the first nine months of 2011). An order book of €15.3 billion (up 7% vs. end-September 2010) offers Bouygues Construction good visibility on future activity.

Bouygues Immobilier reported a 12% decline in sales to €1,548 million (down 1% in residential property and down 52% in commercial property). While the commercial property business remained affected by a tough comparison basis, the pick-up in residential property was confirmed with a third-quarter rise in sales of 11%, vs. 2% in the second quarter and -14% in the first quarter of 2011. The operating margin was firm at 8.2% and net profit amounted to €78 million.

After a record 2010, residential property reservations remained at a high level and reached €1,530 million with sharp third-quarter 2011 growth of 12%. Overall reservations grew 8% to €1,868 million in the first nine months of 2011. The order book was up 20% on end-September 2010 to €2.6 billion.

Business activity remained strong in the third quarter. Thanks to a good level of order intake, the order book was up 2% vs. end-September 2010, despite sales growth.

TF1: strategic decisions pay off

In the first nine months of 2011, TF1's sales came to 1,839 million (up 1%), the contraction in the TF1 TV channel's advertising revenues being offset by the rise in the sales of the other activities. The current operating margin increased to 10.6% (up 3.8 points vs. the first nine months of 2010). Current operating profit at end-September 2011 rose €70 million to €195 million. Net profit attributable to the Group reached €125 million in the first nine months of 2011, a decrease of €45 million due to an exceptional item of €96 million in third quarter 2010, related to the takeover of TMC.

Bouygues Telecom continues to expand its fixed line activity and is experiencing intense competition in the mobile market. Nine-month 2011 results are in line with expectations

Bouygues Telecom's sales advanced 3% to €4,285 million and sales from the network were up 2% to €3,831 million. As expected, EBITDA was negatively impacted by the cut in mobile termination rate differentials. It came to €1,035 million (-6%). Operating profit amounted to €550 million and this included €38 million of non-current income relating to an asset disposal. Net profit was down 10% to €353 million.

In a fiercely competitive mobile market, Bouygues Telecom gained 275,000 new mobile plan customers in the first nine months of 2011. At end-September 2011, the total customer base came to 11,217,000, of whom 80.4% were on mobile plans (a yoy increase of 1.5 points). Moreover, thanks to the strong momentum in the year to date, the MVNO^[1] customer base stood at 1.3 million at the end of third quarter 2011.

The performances on the broadband market were very good. Bouygues Telecom is leader in terms of net market growth with 311,000 new customers in the first nine months of 2011^[2]. The operator's total fixed broadband customer base stood at 1,119,000 at 30 September 2011.

Alstom

Alstom's contribution to Bouygues' net profit came to €134 million in the first nine months of 2011 (vs.
€239 million for the first nine months of 2010). In third quarter 2011, it improved €17 million to a total of
€40 million.

Confirming the recovery achieved in the second part of FY2010/11, order intake grew 45% in the first half of FY2011/12 to €10.2 billion. Alstom confirmed its operating margin target of between 7% and 8% for FY2011/12.

Financial situation

Cash flow was up slightly to €2,483 million. The free cash flow figure¹ of €886 million was almost stable despite the expected increase in net capital expenditure (€997 million, up €133 million vs. the first nine months of 2010).

Cash flow generation has kept net debt at the same level as in September 2010 (€3.8 billion), before factoring in two major operations in the fourth quarter, namely the 2.6 GHz frequencies bought by Bouygues Telecom (€228 million) and the share repurchase tender offer (€1,250 million).
