Alstom réalise une bonne performance
opérationnelle, dans le contexte économique difficile
du 1er semestre 2009/10

“The first half of 2009/10 was
characterised by a low order intake both in Power and Transport
Sectors. Customers in power generation continue to delay their
investments in new power plants, whilst orders in Transport over
the first six months have been impacted by the phasing of large
contracts. However the backlog remains healthy and continues to
provide strong visibility. Overall project execution is under
control, as illustrated by the good progression in both volume
and profitability. Despite fluctuations of working capital, which
deteriorated over the period due a book-to-bill ratio of 0.74,
the Group has managed to generate a positive free cash flow.
Given the current active tendering activity, we expect orders to
improve in the second half of the fiscal year and we confirm our
operating margin estimate for March 2010 at around 9%.”,
said Patrick Kron, Alstom’s Chairman & Chief Executive
Officer.
