Interview

Jacques Aschenbroich,

Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Valeo

In 2016, Valeo achieved the best results in its history. What drove this performance?

These results were driven by the new Valeo we have created: more technologically focused, innovative, dynamic and profitable. Quarter after quarter, our growth continues to accelerate, outperforming the market in all regions worldwide with, in 2016, increases of 17% in our order intake to 23.6 billion euros,

14% in our sales to 16.6 billion euros and 27% in our net income to 925 million euros. These results underline the relevance of our strategy, based on innovation in the areas of CO2 emissions reduction and intuitive driving, and reflect the quality and expertise of our some 100,000 employees worldwide.

Is that why you decided to raise your 2021 objectives at your Investor Day in March?

Our recent trajectory puts us well ahead of the plan set out in 2015. We therefore decided to set a new, more ambitious target, which remains perfectly achievable in light of our healthy outlook for the coming years. So, we have lifted our sales target from

20 billion euros by 2020 to more than 27 billion by 2021,

The two focuses of Valeo's growth strategy

1. Innovation

   Innovative technologies for CO2 emissions reduction and intuitive driving.

2. Geographical expansion

Geographical expansion in

high-growth potential regions, especially in Asia and emerging countries.

representing average annual sales growth of 10% and an outperformance of more than 7 percentage points compared to global automotive production. This growth will be powered first and foremost by higher content per vehicle, thanks to the new opportunities within the automotive industry. To support this rapid expansion, Valeo will continue to hire new talent, with the aim of adding 10,000 employees per year on average over the next five years.

What key strengths will help Valeo achieve these objectives?

Our growth model is based on innovation and organic growth, but we have also completed several acquisitions to boost our technological potential and geographical footprint in Germany, South Korea and Japan. We are also investing in high-growth potential regions such as China, Southeast Asia and India.

And most importantly, our products are innovative: 50% of our order intake is for products that didn't even exist three years ago. Valeo currently ranks first or second worldwide in each of its businesses,

and boasts technological leadership in the three areas that are disrupting the automotive industry: drivetrain electrification, autonomous vehicles,

and mobility driven by the development of digital technology.

The market for the "vehicle of the future" is highly competitive. How will Valeo maintain its technological leadership in this area?

By ensuring that innovation remains the cornerstone of our strategy.

In 2016, we invested close to 1.6 billion euros in R&D, filed over 1,800 patents worldwide and were the top French company in terms of the number of patents filed. We are going to continue on this path to foster the emergence of new products that improve mobility, help protect the environment and enhance

in-vehicle safety and well-being. As I see it, economic growth and mobility go hand in hand, and electric, autonomous, shared cars are a way of striking the right balance between vehicle usage and quality of life in urban areas.

Jacques Aschenbroich

Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Valeo

And we have all the technologies needed for this new mobility to take shape. Nonetheless, we must remain open to change, take a long-term view of our markets and the related technologies, and remain unrelenting with regard to cost control and competitiveness in each of our businesses as well as in each of the 32 countries where we operate. And we must also attract

the world's most talented engineers to help us achieve our growth plan.

You seem particularly confident about Valeo's future...

I am very confident in the future of our Group and believe the best is yet to come. The deep-seated shifts currently taking place in the automotive industry are of huge benefit for Valeo and represent a source of growth and opportunity.
