Aerosystems[1] activities (42.7% of total revenue) sales for the first 9 months amounted to €1,616.8m up by +3.0% on a reported basis and +1.7% on a like-for-like basis, excluding a positive 1.3 percentage point impact from foreign exchange rates.

Aerosystems is evolving in line with its pattern of a strong dissymmetry between first and second half, as previously communicated. Q3 sales were up 6.6% on a reported basis and 4.7% on a like-for-like basis. This growth was mainly coming from IFEC[2], Arresting Systems and Telemetry. Expected growth for the second half is supported by a robust backlog.

Aircraft Interiors activities (57.3% of total revenue) sales amounted to €2,172.5m combining a positive 1.5 point forex impact and a -5.9% organic growth, resulting in a -4.4% change over the first 9 month of the fiscal year 2016/2017.
                The Cabin branch reported a -3.9% organic decrease of its sales on the back of a mix effect whereby new programs (currently ramping-up) are progressively substituting mature programs. Adding a 2.7 points positive forex impact, sales decreased by -1.2% to €1,228.9m. The Group's progress regarding on time and on quality deliveries, in particular for the A350XWB Lavatories program, is in line with planned milestones given on April 28th, 2017 in the H1 results presentation.

                The Seats branch reported €943.6m sales in the first 9 months, -8.1% compared to 9M 2015/2016 and breaking up into a positive 0.2 point foreign exchange impact and a -8.3% organic decrease, reflecting some industrial issues which generated significant disruptions and delays that are currently being addressed. Indeed issues resolution in the UK (Cwmbran) is moving forward according to plan.
The Group enjoyed new commercial successes. In particular, the new Optima Business Class seat, revealed during the Aircraft Interiors show last April and currently deployed within United Airlines fleet as under the Polaris design, has been selected by Air France for its new A350XWB and for the retrofit of its B777-300ER COI. Air France also selected the Z300 Economy class seat, which equips its entire "BEST" fleet, as well as the RAVE IFE system developed by Zodiac Inflight Innovation.
