2007 results:
Results of FY 2007 will be published on February 28. Much like in the first semester, the operating result and the pre-tax profit are expected to show a substantial increase.
A SFAF meeting (Société Française des Analystes Financiers) will be held on February 28 2008 at Palais Brongniart, for a detailed presentation of Company figures.
Sales outlook:
During 2007 the Group recorded 537 new orders, an increase of 57.9% over the previous year. During the fourth quarter alone, SES recorded 135 orders against 82 for the same period in 2006, i.e. a growth of 64.6%
Continuing on its momentum, the Group won new competitive bids for store formats ranging from hard discount to hypermarket, both in France and abroad. SES has been retained to equip the first 20 Franprix stores (Pro Distribution Group) in 2008; the Company also won the Eroski bid, thus becoming the supplier for 84 hypermarkets in Spain over 3 years. These successes, added to the exclusive retainer by Système U last July, should generate significant revenue in 2008.
SES is consolidating its leadership and confirming that its value proposition is truly adapted to the requirements of major French and foreign retail networks. In this context, the Company anticipates a substantial sale growth in 2008, particularly in the third and fourth quarters.
