12. November 2009

Consolidated revenue for the third quarter 2009 amounted to €372.9 million, a
like-for-like decline of -9.1% on the third quarter of 2008.
The like-for-like revenue decline in the third quarter 2009 was mostly due to a
delay in the start-up of certain contracts in the United Kingdom. Inversely, the
fourth quarter in this area should show a rebound in activity with a positive
organic growth.
In the third quarter 2009, new orders registered a significant increase of 16.2%. At
30 September 2009, the book to bill ratio stood at 1.08.
