  • First-half growth up by 15.9%
  • Positive 2019 Free Cash Flows and 2020 growth targets maintained

An excellent 2017/18 first half-year business dynamic in line with the development plan

Figeac Aéro Group revenue was €169.5 million at 30 September 2017, up by 15.9% compared to the same period in 2015/16. An unfavourable change in €/$ currency hedging increased over the second quarter resulted in a negative impact of €2.6 million for the first half of 2017/18.

In the wake of the Group's commercial dynamic, Auvergne Aéro (acquired in November 2016), reported revenue of €15 million over the first half of 2017/18.

The excellent performance of both the Aerostructures business, up by 18.7% over the period and of the on-site assembly business, which grew by 13.1%, benefited from market share gains for the A350 and the LEAP engine.

Outlook

Investment in the first half of the financial year, estimated at around €65 million for the current financial year and less than €50 million over 2018/19, was in line with targets and with the strategy of generating positive and recurring free cash-flow starting in March 2019.

Sales momentum continued to be sustained, with several new contracts including:

  • a $21 million, three-year contract for the A320neo, a first commercial success which put Auvergne Aéro back on a growth trajectory;
  • an additional Embraer E-JETS E2 programme contract, which positions the Group on all versions of the E2 in the amount of $300 million.

These new contracts further confirm the Group's revenue target of at least €650 million in March 2020.

Upcoming release: 20 December 2017 (before the market opens), first 2016/2017 half-year results.
