ANNUAL REPORT 2014-15

Fiscal year 2014/2015 (September to August) was marked by the difficulties Zodiac Aerospace Group encountered in the Group’s Aircraft Interiors activities, and in particular by the growth crisis experienced by its Zodiac Seats Segment. These dificulties translated to a fall in current operating income. The Group implemented a new structure and launched the Focus transformation plan in order to learn lessons from the Seats crisis and strengthen its industrial operations. Zodiac Aerospace will continue its recovery during fiscal year 2015/2016, during which it expects to see slight sales revenue growth with a positive dollar efect and a current operating margin of around 10%. The following fiscal year should show further improvement in the current operational margin, estimated at two points higher than fiscal year 2015/2016.
