Thales is today releasing its order intake and sales figures as at 30 September 2014.

Chairman and CEO Jean-Bernard L vy commented:

In the first nine months of the year, our order intake rose by 3%, driven by double-digit growth in emerging markets, while sales remained stable. As a result, we are in a position to confirm all of our targets for this year.

Thales has now set its sights on a clear-cut ambition, reflected in continued efforts to improve competitiveness and priority given to growth in emerging markets.

I have every confidence in the professionalism of our teams, in our technological leadership and in our commercial strength, and know that the Group will be able to build on these encouraging results to deliver sustainable, profitable growth.

Order intake: 7.54 billion ( 3%), up 10% in emerging markets.

Sales unchanged at 8.41 billion.

Book-to-bill[1] ratio up vs. 30 September 2013.
