Draft dated August, 6 2010
Group consolidated revenue fell 1.1% at constant exchange rates and consolidation scope compared to the half-year ended June 30, 2009. This decrease reflects the foreseen impacts of: ·and particularly the completion of certain major constructionthe decrease in construction activity contracts outside France in the Water Division; ·divestitures of non-strategic assets during fiscal year 2009; ·the non-renewal of certain major contracts in 2009, particularly in the Transportation Division; ·the fall in energy prices. It was partially offset by the good resistance of concession activities, the stabilization of the economic environment, with certain countries and industrial sectors even enjoying an upturn in business activity, the increase in the price of recycled raw materials and a positive exchange rate impact due to the depreciation of the euro against the Australian dollar and the currencies of Eastern and Central Europe in particular.
