Strong seasonality of activity Activity is highly sensitive to weather conditions and Q1 is therefore never meaningful Q1 equates to ~17% of FY sales on average (less than 10% in North America) Q1 always accounts for an operating loss given low sales Quarterly split of FY EBIT Quarterly split of FY sales 67% 59% 31% 30% 42% 41% 26% 26% 27% 26% 37% 35% 17% 17% Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 2011 2012 -35% 2011 2012 -46% 11
A few reminders before modeling Backlog It represents only about 5 to 7 months of activity Its maturity might vary depending on the amount of long-term contracts It is seasonal Oil products and energy prices In road works, an increase in bitumen and oil prices is usually passed on to customers, and therefore generates sales but is neutral for EBIT Many contracts have a short duration and/or include indexation/escalation clauses Bitumen storage and occasional hedging policy mitigate price changes However a sustained and significant increase in energy prices might have an impact on clients’ budgets and therefore activity volumes Exchange rates have no material impact on financials other than the conversion effects Sales and costs of foreign subsidiaries are denominated in the same currency 12
