MAIN EVENTS IN 2011
The network operated by the Group was expanded by bringing
into service in the first half of
2011 three new motorway sections of around ten kilometres
each: the Les Echets/La Boisse section on the A432 motorway,
the south Mâcon by-pass on the A406 motorway and the
Montluçon section on the A714.
Constant efforts are made to improve customer service, but
this policy will be stepped up in
2012. This year will mark an important phase in the execution
of the investments at the level of the Group's operations
under the plan-rated contracts (rollout of non-stop toll
system, improvement of network security and improvement of
environmental integration).
Large infrastructure projects, including the new section of
the A466 motorway and the widening of the Nord A46, Clermont
A71, Coiranne/Chambéry A43 sections, are still at planning
phase, with the execution of some of these projects scheduled
to start at the end of the year.
Although prospects are uncertain for heavy goods vehicle
traffic due to the economic and financial environment,
revenue should continue to grow thanks to the combined effect
of the expected growth in light vehicle traffic and toll
increases.
At the same time, the Group will continue to focus efforts on
stringent management of operations and tight control of
overheads.
(*) Reminder: the application of IFRIC 12 from 1 January 2009 requires the recognition of revenue generated by construction activities, which corresponds to infrastructure construction services performed by the concession operator for the account of the concession grantor, this work being entrusted to third parties and recognised using the percentage of completion method.
