** Integrates revenue of Group company acquisitions from January 1
through December 31, 2009 at constant exchange rates.
The 1st Quarter typically does not have a very significant
level of activity due to seasonality, particularly for Europcar.
1 The valuations of non-listed investments have been
maintained at their value as of December 31, 2010.
The performance of Accor, Edenred and Rexel, consolidated by the
equity method, are not discussed here; 1st
Quarter 2011 financial information has already been published by Accor
(April 20) and Edenred (April 18) and will be published by Rexel on May
12.
I-
PERFORMANCE OF GROUP COMPANIES FOR 1ST
QUARTER 2011
Consolidated revenue for Industry and Services for the 1st
Quarter 2011 was 845.2 million euros, an increase of +4.6%, as reported,
restated*, and +1.6% on a comparable basis.
Revenue for Real Estate increased 108.5% during the 1st
Quarter 2011, to 18.4 million euros, reflecting rents received from B&B
Hotels, as these revenues, considered as intra-group revenues, were
restated for the 1st Quarter 2010, as well as continued
increases in rents. Restated for property divestitures and following
integration of deliveries of city center property restructuring
projects, ANF Immobilier revenues increased 15.1%, on constant scope.

APCOA
Solid revenue growth
Revenue for APCOA during the 1st Quarter 2011 was 174.8
million euros, an increase of 9.8% as reported and +7.3% on a comparable
basis. This good revenue performance is a result of growth in the
Airports segment compared to the 1st Quarter 2010, as well as
an improvement in city center parking in most countries.
By geographic region, the four main revenue generating countries
(Germany, Norway, the UK and Italy) had comparable basis growth between
5% and 10%, illustrating the strength of the economic recovery in the
Group’s principle geographic zones.
This acceleration of growth, combined with renegotiation of unprofitable
contracts in the UK which continued in the 1st Quarter 2011,
resulted in a strong improvement in operating margin.
Elis
Activity improvement
The contribution by Elis to Eurazeo’s revenues for the 1st
Quarter 2011 was 268.0 million euros, an increase of 7.2% as reported
and +1.7% on a comparable basis.
In France, the rental-maintenance business grew during the 1st
Quarter 2011 (+3.0% as reported and +2.0% on a comparable basis) with
revenues continuing to increase in Hotels-Restaurants (+2.8% on a
comparable basis), a return to a positive trend in Industry, Retail and
Services with an increase of 2.5% for the quarter (+2.0% on a comparable
basis), and growth of 2.5%, on a comparable basis, for the Healthcare
market.
Internationally, growth was 35.7% (+2.2% on a comparable basis). All
countries contributed to this growth with particularly solid
performances in Germany and Italy. Despite an especially difficult
economic context, subsidiaries in Spain and Portugal continued to grow.
Europcar
Overall stability in revenues: new increase in revenue per day –
volumes reduced in lower performing segments
Europcar revenue for the 1st Quarter 2011 was 402.4 million
euros, an increase of 1.0% as reported and a slight decline of 0.7% at
comparable rates compared to the 1st Quarter 2010. The
quarter, relatively unimportant for the short-term rental vehicle
industry, typically has the weakest level of activity for the year.
Improvement continued in revenue per day (+3.2% at constant exchange
rates), for the 11th consecutive quarter, almost fully
offsetting the lower volumes, and reflects mainly the intended reduction
of business in lower performing segments. The 1st Quarter
also reflected to a lesser extent some adverse effect from the natural
disasters in Australia and New Zealand at the beginning of the year and
by the continued weakness of the Spanish economy. At the same time, the
Group benefited fully from the strength of the German economy and its
strong position in this market, as well as in Italy and Belgium. The
fleet utilization rate remained high at 70.9%.
Faced with the risk of a delay in vehicle deliveries following the
earthquake in Japan, Europcar took preventive action to manage its fleet
in close cooperation with automakers. To date, the company expects to
have the vehicles needed for its activities for the coming months.
On April 6, Europcar launched its car2go service in Hamburg, Germany, in
collaboration with Daimler with 200 Smart cars equipped with advanced
technology develop exclusively for car2go and offering rental charges to
the minute for subscribers without reservation or limits. The program
has been greeted very positively by Hamburg residents and the activity
during the first weeks has been in line with expectations, confirming
the relevance of the new urban mobility service.
ANF Immobilier
Revenues increase again
Revenue for ANF Immobilier in the 1st Quarter 2011 was 18.4
million euros compared with 16.9 million euros in the 1st
Quarter 2010, an increase of 15% at constant scope. Center city property
rents grew by 29% at constant scope. A 1% increase in rents from B&B is
due to indexation.
For center city properties, renegotiation of commercial leases, both in
Lyons and Marseilles drove strong growth in rental income on a constant
basis - retail rents increased by 31% in Lyons and 26% in Marseilles at
constant scope.
As a result of the continued delivery of the Mansarde project in Lyons
and the complete rental of the student housing project in Marseilles,
(Ilot 17) residential rents rose 18% on a constant basis. The 13,000 m2
offices program occupied by the City of Marseilles (Fauchier), delivered
in the 4th Quarter 2010, will generate additional rent of 2.2
million euros in 2011.
For 2011, ANF Immobilier confirms its objective for strong growth in
center city rents of 15% at constant scope. Rents for the company will
be more than 73 million euros, an increase of 8% at constant scope.

Valuation methodology
The valuation methodology conforms to the recommendations of the
International Private Equity Valuation Board (IPEV). The valuations of
non-listed investments are based primarily on multiples of comparables
or of transactions. For listed investments, the retained value is the
average over a 20-day period of the volume-weighted share price. The
values retained for non-listed companies were the subject of a detailed
review by an independent professional appraiser, Accuracy, as specified
in the signed engagement letter. This review supports the retained
values and states that the evaluation methodology conforms to IPEV
recommendations.
