BUSINESS NEWS

January 26, 2013 by

24 Jan 13. Eurocopter delivered another very strong performance in 2012, with an all-time record turnover of 6.3bn euros. The company’s second high record in bookings value marks a return to pre-crisis levels. This places Eurocopter in a strong position to benefit from its broad helicopter portfolio evolution, along with the expansion in services and a growing global footprint. A strong growth in services and the 475 rotorcraft delivered last year generated a new turnover high of 6.3bn euros – 15 percent more than in 2011, when the Group reached a previous record of 5.4bn euros. With a cumulated average growth rate of nine percent since 2006, Eurocopter is delivering one of the most impressive success stories in the European industry. Milestones in 2012 included deliveries of the first enhanced AS350 B3e version and the initial latest-generation EC130 T2 helicopter – both members of Eurocopter’s popular Ecureuil family; along with the 500th EC145 delivery. Eurocopter also provided the first A350 jetliner passenger door set, underscoring its innovative composite technology production capabilities. Eurocopter’s consolidated order intake in 2012 totalled 469 net bookings, representing a value of 5.4bn euros and marking the company’s third consecutive yearly increase since 2010. Sales were paced by the Ecureuil/Fennec/EC130 family with 249 bookings and the EC135/EC145 families with 144 bookings; while the Super Puma family remained strong last year, backed by significant bookings from the oil and gas sector – including a framework contract for 16 EC225s with the Milestone Aviation Group leasing company, and a first contract for the new AS332C1e – placed by Starlite Aviation.
