    First quarter 2019 sales and earnings

    In a changing market environment less favorable than last year, Q1 2019 sales and earnings were impacted by:

    > good resilience in volumes sold by STAPPERT and JACQUET-Abraservice, +1.9% and +1.6% respectively from Q1 2018;

    > low demand for engineering steels, particularly in Germany, with IMS group volumes down 10.3% from Q1 2018;

    > a decline in selling prices (-1.7% versus Q4 2018) resulting in a corresponding decrease in gross margins and earnings.

    Market conditions are not expected to change significantly during Q2 2019.

    Sales amounted to €482 million, down 4.1% compared to Q1 2018, including the following effects:

    > volumes sold: -4.6%;

    > price: +3.1% versus Q1 2018 (-1.7% versus Q4 2018);

    > scope: -2.6% (i.e. €-13 million in sales) following the disposal of non-strategic assets carried out in 2018.

    Gross margin amounted to €112 million and represented 23.3% of sales, compared to 25.1% in Q1 2018.

    At constant consolidation, operating expenses excluding non-recurring items amounted to €93 million, down 0.6% compared to Q1 2018.

    EBITDA amounted to €26.5 million, or 5.5% of sales. It benefited from a positive €4.3 million impact relating to the application of IFRS 16 - Leases as of January 1, 2019. Adjusted for the impact of IFRS 16, EBITDA amounted to €22.2 million, i.e. 4.6% of sales, compared to 6.9% in Q1 2018.

    Adjusted operating income amounted to €19.1 million (4% of sales) compared to €29.4 million (5.9% of sales) in Q1 2018. The application of IFRS 16 had no material impact on adjusted operating income.

    Net income (Group share) amounted to €11.4 million (2.4% of sales) compared to €22.4 million (including €2.8 million gain on sales of assets) in Q1 2018 (4.5% of sales). The application of IFRS 16 had no material impact on net income.

    Financial position

    The Group generated operating cash flow of €+23.1 million during Q1 2019. As of March 31, 2019:

    > operating working capital amounted to €452 million, including inventories of €473 million, and represented 24.5% of sales, compared to €447 million at 2018 year-end (including inventories of €493 million).

    > net debt came to €179 million (debt to equity ratio 46.1%).

    The application of IFRS 16 - Leases led to the recognition on the Group's balance sheet as of March 31, 2019 of:

    > a "right of use" asset amounting to €97.6 million, €18 million of which was recorded under "net non-current assets" as of December 31, 2018, according to IAS 17;
