For the first 9 months of 2015, Plastic Omnium Automotive's sales1reached 4,080 million euros. They grew by 13.8% (4.8% at constant exchange rates), with global automotive production up by 1.0%.
This outperforming result is supported by strong sales in Europe and Asia over the period.
In the 3rdquarter of 2015, Plastic Omnium Automotive's sales1accelerated its growth and grew by 7.5% at constant exchange rates, compared to a steady worldwide automotive production (-0.1%).
sales in Europe grew by 12.9%, driven by 27 new program launches in the first half of the year; 34 additional launches are planned in the second half of the year;
business has increased again in North America (+3.2%), confirming that this zone will be a strong contributor to Group's growth starting in 2016;
the Group's automotive business in China was stable over the period, despite Chinese automotive manufacturing down by 6.9%. The Group's automotive business sales in China for the first 9 months of the year reached 338 million euros, i.e. 8% of the Group's overall revenue.
In the first 9 months of 2015, the Environment division sales1reached 283 million euros. They were down by 3.0% at constant scope and exchange rates.
In an economic environment that remains difficult due to budget restrictions in local councils particularly in France, the Environment division will stabilize its sales in the second half of the year and will continue to generate a significant free cash-flow.
Results as of end-September confirm that 2015 results will indeed see growth, as anticipated.
Plastic Omnium has a strong order book resulting in significant gains in market shares in automotive body components and fuel systems.
The Group emphasizes once again the strong performance of its innovative and efficient offers in polluting emissions reduction systems (CO2and NOx), whose development is favored by increasingly strict environmental regulations.
