          Group activity for the financial year,
        
        
          and outlook for the coming year
        
        
          
            2.1 LISI Consolidated
          
        
        
          The LISI Group recorded a further increase in performance in
        
        
          terms of sales revenue and profit for the year 2012, thanks
        
        
          to the very significant growth of the Aerospace Division and
        
        
          despite the difficulties of the Automotive Division. These
        
        
          positive results are reflected by the following figures:
        
        
          • sales revenue of €1,081.3m, up +16.9%
        
        
          • operating profit of €100.4m, up +29.0%
        
        
          • net earnings per share of €5.47, up +18% on a comparable
        
        
          basis.
        
        
          At constant exchange rates and scope of consolidation, growth
        
        
          was up 8.8%. It stood up throughout the year with the effect of
        
        
          a higher comparison base. It should be noted that the Group's
        
        
          scope of consolidation in 2012 was very similar to that of 2011
        
        
          following a period of intense reorganization between 2010 and
        
        
          2011.

          In Q4, the Group achieved sales of €263.5 million, against
        
        
          €245.0 million in 2011, up 7.5%. Over the quarter, while
        
        
          LISI AEROSPACE saw its growth slow down compared to the
        
        
          same period of the previous year which had achieved +77.5%
        
        
          due to the acquisition of Creuzet Aéronautique, it continued
        
        
          to increase in absolute terms (20.6% in Q4). The Group notes,
        
        
          however, a very clear adjustment of the automotive demand
        
        
          (-5.2% in Q4), as well as medical demand, which has suffered
        
        
          from the slowdown in orders at the end of the period (-15.1%).
        
        
          At constant scope and exchange rates, sales increased by 8.8%
        
        
          including an unfavorable dollar effect on the period, the scope
        
        
          effect being negligible.
