Over the third quarter 2016/17 (from 1 October to 31 December 2016). Alstom booked EUR 1 billion of orders, including notably signalling and infrastructure for Cairo Metro line 3, regional trains for Southern Germany, new generation of metros to Greater Lyon in France and maintenance to freight locomotives in Mexico.
The Group’s sales increased to EUR 1.7 billion, up 3% (2% organically) compared to EUR 1.6 billion over the third quarter 2015/16. Sales increased mainly fuelled by deliveries of suburban and regional trains in Europe, progress of Riyadh metro system in Saudi Arabia, PRASA project in South Africa and maintenance contract in the United Kingdom.
For the first nine months of 2016/17 (from 1 April to 31 December 2016), Alstom’s order intake reached EUR 7.2 billion, up 16% compared to EUR 6.3 billion over the same period last year. The Group’s sales amounted to EUR 5.2 billion, up 6% (5% organically) compared to the first nine months of 2015/16. The book-to-bill remained strong at 1.4.
On 31 December 2016, the backlog reached a new record high at EUR 33.8 billion, providing strong visibility on future sales.
