Business Outlook

Thibault de Tersant, Senior Executive Vice President, CFO, commented, “While fourth quarter revenue, operating margin and earnings per share were in line with our objectives, converting pipeline opportunities into new business activity remained difficult, leading to total revenue growth of 5% in constant currencies for the fourth quarter and year in total.

“For the first quarter of 2014, we think it is appropriate to assume continuation of the 2013 trend-line, with our growth drivers entering into play progressively over the course of the quarter, leading to a revenue objective range of €490 to €500 million and non-IFRS earnings per share range of €0.60 to €0.65, reflective of a higher effective tax rate and strong currency headwinds.
