Order intake in line with expectations: 2.3 billion, down 1%
Sales: 3.1 billion, up 11.0% on an organic basis[1] (up 11.9% on a reported basis)
All financial objectives confirmed
Thales (Euronext Paris: HO) announced today its order intake and sales for Q1 2017. Patrice Caine, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented: The start of 2017 has confirmed the solid momentum of all of our businesses, with organic sales growth ahead of the full year target, driven by both mature and emerging markets. Order intake for the first quarter of 2017 is in line with our expectations. We remain focused on implementing all the initiatives undertaken as part of our Ambition 10 strategy and we confirm our 2017 sales growth and profitability objectives.

Of which emerging markets2 909 773 17.6% 16.6%
Order intake In Q1 2017, order intake amounted to 2,281 million, down 1% compared to Q1 2016 (down 2% at constant scope and currency).
One large order worth over 100 million was booked in Q1 2017, for the supply of a telecommunications satellite.
The volume of small orders with a unit value of less than 10 million represented 1,606 million, up 5% on Q1 2016.
From a geographical perspective[3], order intake in emerging markets fell slightly by 4% to 603 million, whereas order intake in mature markets remained broadly flat year on year ( 1,677 million, -1%).
Order intake for the Aerospace segment fell 9% to 938 million, compared to 1,030 million in Q1 2016. Order intake for the space and commercial avionics activities increased compared to the previous year, unlike the In-Flight Entertainment (IFE) and Training & Simulation businesses which did not sign any significant contracts during the period, in contrast with Q1 2016.
Order intake in the Transport segment amounted to 215 million, down 7% on Q1 2016 ( 231 million).
Order intake for the Defence & Security segment rose 8% to 1,112 million, from 1,030 million in
Q1 2016.
Sales Sales for Q1 2017 stood at 3,058 million, compared to 2,732 million in Q1 2016, up 11.9% on a reported basis, and up 11.0% at constant scope and currency ( organic change). In Q2, sales growth is expected to be impacted by a high basis of comparison[4], particularly in the Transport and Aerospace segments.
From a geographical perspective[5], this very good performance reflects both continued strong growth in emerging markets (up 16.6%, following on from 21.8% in Q1 2016) and increased organic growth in mature markets (up 8.7%, after 2.5% in Q1 2016).
Sales in the Aerospace segment totalled 1,252 million, a sharp 17.3% increase compared to Q1 2016 (up 16.2% at constant scope and currency), reflecting a favourable basis of comparison in In Flight Entertainment, which had recorded a temporarily low level of activity in Q1 2016, and robust sales growth in the Space segment, driven primarily by the observation, exploration and navigation businesses, which booked several large orders in 2015 and 2016.
In the Transport segment, sales totalled 279 million, up 7.2% compared to Q1 2016 (up 7.2% at constant scope and currency), benefiting particularly from the ramp up of the large urban rail signalling contracts signed in 2015 and 2016.
Sales in the Defence & Security segment represented 1,511 million, up 9.0% compared to Q1 2016 (up 8.0% at constant scope and currency). This segment continues to enjoy a broad based momentum, driven notably by the major contract wins of 2015 and 2016 (Hawkei in Australia, Rafale, etc.), military telecommunications networks and cybersecurity activities.
Outlook Q1 2017 order intake and sales are in line with expectations. In this context, the Group confirms all of its objectives, as set out below.
Although below the highs recorded in 2015 and 2016, order intake in 2017 should remain brisk, at around 14 billion.
Sales should see mid-single digit organic growth compared to 2016.
This positive trend, combined with continuing efforts to improve competitiveness, should result in Thales delivering between 1,480 million and 1,500 million in EBIT (based on February 2017 scope and exchange rates), representing an increase of 9% to 11% versus 2016.
Thales also confirms its mid-term objectives of mid-single digit organic sales growth on average in the 2016-2018 period, and an EBIT margin of between 9.5% and 10% in 2017/2018.
