Key figures 2008
Consolidated income statement

In 2008, Eurazeo group’s consolidated revenues crossed the 4 billion euros mark for the first time and came off at 4,054.0 million euros. This increase represents a 35.4% surge as reported while underscoring the Group’s capacity to successfully integrate external growth transactions, and the remarkable resilience of the Group’s operations to the economic climate. The revenues crept up 1.7% when stated in pro forma terms and at a constant exchange rate.

Net income Group share stood at a loss of 61.0 million euros. It is not directly comparable to the 2007 net income Group share of 901.1 million euros considering that those 2007 figures had been boosted by the exceptional capital gains recorded from the disposals of Eutelsat and Fraikin (for 604.4 million euros after tax).

Restated to reflect impairments on intangible assets and assets available for sale, as well as amortizations on allocated goodwill, net income Group share totals 238.4 million euros in 2008.

(1) Effect of the definitive goodwill allocation.

The balance sheet total stood at 15.6 billion euros in 2008 versus 17.0 billion euros in 2007. On the assets side of the balance sheet, this drop can be primarily explained by the “Available-for-sale assets” line item which plunged from 4.2 billion euros in 2007 to 1.5 billion euros in 2008 following the disposal of Veolia and Air Liquide shares. The balance sheet total was further driven down by the loss in value of Danone shares in 2008.

On the liabilities side, shareholders’ equity totaled 3.9 billion euros in 2008 versus 5.4 billion euros in 2007, reflecting the drop in the revaluation reserve of the portfolio of availablefor- sale shares following the contraction of stock market prices in 2008. In all, consolidated shareholders’ equity per share stood at 73.8 euros per share as of December 31, 2008.

Eurazeo Group’s consolidated net cash climbed from 635 million euros at December 31, 2007 to 650 million euros at December 31, 2008 and consolidated financial debt dropped from 7,968 million euros to 7,634 million euros.

The entirety of consolidated financial debts are non recourse on Eurazeo except for a 100 million euros balance drawn from Eurazeo’s syndicated loan (repaid on January 15, 2009) and a 107 million euros guarantee granted to secure a US dollar financing.

Consolidated cash flow statement

Eurazeo’s consolidated net cash rose from €635 million on December 31, 2007 to 650 million euros on December 31, 2008 and boasted a sustained level of cash flow from investment and financing activities.

Net cash flows generated by the operating activity showed 1,094 million euros of cash against 674 million euros in 2007 boosted primarily by changes in group structure. The change in working capital requirements of 491.9 million euros can be mainly explained by the significant adjustment of the size of Europcar’s vehicle fleet at December 31, 2008.

Cash flow from investment and divestment activities concerned the increase in stake in Accor of 1,097.9 million euros and the disposals of Veolia Environnement shares and Air Liquide shares for 463.0 million euros and 1,258.7 million euros respectively.

Cash flow from financing activities mainly concerned the 537 million euros debt contracted for the investment in Accor, the 708.2 million euros debt contracted for the share transfer made before the sale of the Group’s stake in Danone to the wholly-owned subsidiary Legendre Holding 22. Correlatively, Eurazeo refunded a significant portion of the drawdown from the syndicated loan. Other cash flows from financing activities mainly concerned the payment of Eurazeo’s 2007 dividend and equity purchases carried out in 2008.
