Sales for first quarter 2016 amounted1 433 millions euros, versus1 601 millions euros in first quarter 2015 Organic sales for Q1’16 down by 1.5%.
Evolution in line with the Group’s expectations and mainly due to the anticipated effect of project timings in the submarine high-voltage business (-14%)
Ongoing robust growth in the first quarter for automotive harnesses and LAN cables & systems, offsetting the continued deterioration in the oil and mining sectors. Start of a recovery in sales of medium- and low-voltage distribution cables to European energy operators. Satisfactory progress for all of the Group's strategic initiatives.
[1] The first-quarter 2015 sales figure used for like-for-like comparisons corresponds to sales at constant non-ferrous metal prices adjusted for the effects of exchange rates and changes in the scope of consolidation. The currency effect on sales at constant non-ferrous metal prices for the first quarter of 2016 amounted to a negative 60 million euros and changes in the scope of consolidation had a negative 13 million euro impact.
