PRESS RELEASE OF 12 JULY 2016

PERROT DUVAL GROUP PROFIT UP TENFOLD The Perrot Duval Group (Perrot Duval Holding S.A.), specialists in the field of automation, posted a profit after taxes of 1.0 million CHF for its 2015/16 financial year (ending on 30 April 2016), ten times higher than the previous year (0.1 million CHF).

Net sales rose by 5 per cent in local currencies. Order volumes from the Group's European and North American customers increased, whilst those from Asia (especially China) dipped temporarily due to a slowdown in growth. The Füll Process and Infranor Divisions, which specialise in process automation and the robotisation of machinery respectively, both put in a pleasing performance in terms of market presence and profitability. The Cybelec Division, a provider of complete solutions within niches of selected markets, particularly manufacturers of machines for bending sheet metal, consolidated its position as world leader.

The company will provide final figures and detailed information on the 2015/16 financial year along with a commentary on current business development when it presents its balance sheet on 25 August 2016.
