Through its “LISI System” deploymentmodel, theGroup has
reached reassuringmaturity for all the performance areas
and has been able to deploy them on the two acquisitions
of 2017 and 2018.
In terms of security, LISI is now achieving a level of
excellence close to the objective of a 10.0 TF1, which will
allow it to roll out a full CSR (CorporateSocial Responsibility)
project in 2019.
Finally, in Controlling, all sites now deploy the same
methods of monitoring and management rigor essential
to drive performance.
All of these efforts are aimed at providing all LISI customers
with product offerings at the expected level of service and
at pursuing our approach of profitable growth and market
share gains. The Group must be a key partner for all its
customers and markets to consolidate its critical global
size. There are still many areas of progress and a long way
to go in thismomentum, which has been going on for many
years and does not seem to be slowing down.
Nevertheless, the Group and its divisions will remain
attentive about the business cyclemovements that might
occur at any time in an unstable environment in order to
better adjust the level of production and fixed costs.
This cautious attitude has incited us to opt for a dividend
distribution in 2019 for the year 2018 of €0.44 per share
(down from €0.48 in 2018).
The Group will pursue all of its progress initiatives by
focusing on its employees’ strong involvement and on the
trust of its major customers whilemaintaining an attitude
of respect for all stakeholders.
