Thales (Euronext Paris: HO) announced today its order intake and sales for the first quarter of 2021.

Q1 2021 sales and order intake were in line with our expectations. Order intake grew particularly strongly in the space and defence businesses. Despite the health crisis still heavily impacting civil aeronautics and biometrics, sales were already back to organic growth. This performance shows the great efforts of Thales teams, and I am grateful for their constant commitment to our customers. We confirm all our financial objectives for 2021.

Patrice Caine, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer

Solid order intake: 3.4 billion, up 31% on an organic basis[1] (up 28% on a reported basis)

Sales: 3.9 billion, up 1.9% on an organic basis (up 0.5% on a reported basis)

Return to growth despite on-going significant impact of the health crisis on civil aeronautics and biometrics

All financial objectives confirmed
