Group first half salesfor 2016 amounted to €367.8 million, down by 0.8% as compared to the first half of 2015 at current exchange rates and down by 0.4% at constant exchange rates.
Revenue for the second quarter was up 3.6% at constant exchange rates, after a decline in the first quarter (4.4% compared to the first quarter of 2015) due to a slowdown in investments in the oil sector which impacted the performance of the Industrial Standby division and the Group as a whole.
The other Group divisions recorded solid revenue growth compared to the first half of 2015. The continued increase in revenue in H1 2016 Civil Electronics division (+3%), Space and Defense (+15.8%) and Transport, Telecom & Grid (+3.6%) was driven mainly by performance in the civil electronics, military aviation and telecom.
Gross profit for the first half stood at €106.4 million, down by
€4.4 million or 4.0%, as compared to H1 2015. The gross profit margin was 28.9% in the first half of 2016 versusa gross profit margin of 29.9% for the same period in the previous year. This slight decrease in the gross profit margin is mainly due to lower sales in Industrial Standby division.
EBITDA for the first half of 2016 amounted to €52.6 million (restated with non-recurring items related to the takeover bid for an amount of €7.9 million), representing an EBITDA margin
of 14.3%, compared with EBITDA of €57.5 million or 15.5% of revenue in H1 2015.
Sales growth in three of the Group's divisions with improved EBITDA margin did not fully offset the decrease in Industrial Standby division.
After amortisation, depreciation and provisions of €18.2 million (versus€19.3 million in H1 2015), EBIT marginin the first half stood at €34.5 million (restated with non-recurring items related to the takeover bid), representing a margin of 9.4% of revenue, compared with an EBIT margin of €38.2 million or 10.3% of revenue in H1 2015.
After restructuring costs and other operating income and expenses, Group restated operating profitfor H1 2016 was
€32.8 million, down by 14.4% on the same period in the previous year. The operating margin thus amounted to 8.9% of revenue in the first half of 2016, in decrease compared to that recorded in the first half of 2015 which stood at 10.3%.
Net financial expenses in the first half of 2016 amounted to
€4.7 million versusa net expense of €1.8 million in the first half of 2015. This €2.9 million increase is mainly due to the lower contribution of the foreign exchange result (gain of €0.4 million in the first half of 2016 versusa gain of €3.1 million in first half of 2015).
The total cost of net debt was broadly stable at €3.6 million.
