Eurazeo now has an investment capacity exceeding €1 billion, together with a very clear strategy and a team reorganized according to investment logic. We can rely on a solid history and reputation, a worldwide network of partners, and now an office in China. Finally, Eurazeo has a clear vision of its economic role in  a volatile context.

potential in European companies; we accelerate their development

by accompanying them in changing their business models and scopes or in setting up abroad.

EDENrED: A SuCCESS STOry

Edenred, inventor of the Ticket Restaurant®, is now an independent company that develops solutions facilitating the lives of employees and improving organizational efficiency. The last three years have seen the creation of new solutions, inroads into new countries, increased market penetration, and the transition to digitalization, which now represents 50% of its issue volume.

Edenred’s stock market performance since its listing has been outstanding. This is attributable to the group’s significant growth potential and the excellence of its management, which successfully orchestrated the Group’s transformation

and revealed Edenred’s unique profile. Following a remarkable five-year period of transformation and support, particularly in terms of Edenred’s international development and its innovation thrust, Eurazeo sold its entire stake in the Group on March 6, 2013.

Eurazeo thus doubled its initial investment, for a capital gain of approximately €360 million, reflecting a solid performance.

Over its period of ownership, Eurazeo again demonstrated the ability to identify and develop its assets, while accelerating their transformation. sale of €295 million

Acquiring an interest in Accor in May 2008, Eurazeo contributed to the inception of Edenred in 2010, by backing the separation of the Group’s hotel and service activities.

In 2012, net contribution to earnings from Eurazeo’s companies, less finance costs, improved for the fourth year running. This contribution, which amounted to €238 million, up 73%, stemmed from our daily work as an investment company and is a hallmark of our success in transforming companies.

At the same time, our net asset value (NAV) increased by 16%, to €3,751 million.Since mid-2012, we have intensified our asset rotation, selling 13% of our NAV under excellent terms, a trend which has continued since the start of the year with the sale of an additional 14%.

In the past 12 months, we have sold assets (excluding The Flexitallic Group) amounting to nearly €1 billion and strengthened our resources to support the development of new high-potential transformation or growth companies.

Eurazeo maintains a solid financial structure: we now have cash exceeding €650 million and an undrawn syndicated credit line of €1 billion, thus enabling us to seize quality opportunities when they arise.

Despite 3% fewer business days than in 2012, and a difficult economic environment, Eurazeo’s activity proved resilient in the 1st quarter of 2013 across the entire portfolio, with a -0.9% decline in economic revenue. Considering the measures undertaken in the portfolio companies, we are confident about the Group’s full-year outlook.

The Flexitallic Group, the global manufacturing leader in sealing solutions and products for the energy production sector, and the oil and gas, chemical and petrochemical industries, is the most significant company in the Eurazeo PME portfolio. Having purchased a stake in the French company Siem in 2006, Eurazeo PME has provided financial and strategic support over the last six years for six acquisitions in the United Kingdom and North America and with the group’s global organization alongside

management. Eurazeo PME carried out four capital reinvestments over the period, thus increasing the company’s balance sheet value based on growth.Since Eurazeo PME became its key shareholder in 2006, The Flexitallic Group has multiplied its revenue by 11, from €18 to €210 million, of which 90% at the international level. The number of

employees has increased from 46 to 1,250. Eurazeo PME has thus demonstrated its ability to accelerate the transformation of the companies in its portfolio and enhance its assets since it has multiplied its initial investment by 2.9 and generated an annual return of 28%, over a period of more than 6 years.

Eurazeo PME sells The Flexitallic Group
