Group revenues were ahead of expectations, at EUR 5,302 million, an increase of 75% compared with 2003, prior to the acquisition of Sema Group. That represents an organic increase of just under 1% compared with the pro forma revenues of the combined Group for the same period in 2003, on a constant scope and exchange rate basis. The operating profit was EUR 385 million, yielding an operating margin of 7.3% (2003 – 5.9% on a pro forma basis). Net income before goodwill amortization and non-recurring items (net of tax) was EUR 231 million, giving diluted earnings per share of EUR 3.43 compared with 3.24 in 2003, an accretion of 6%. The opening net debt of EUR 698 million immediately following the acquisition of Sema Group fell to EUR 491 million at December 31st, 2004. Nicola.Popoff@atosorigin.com www.atosorigin.de
