集團董事長兼首席執(zhí)行官夏朗達對業(yè)績的解析：

“圣戈班2017年前三季度的業(yè)績印證了集團上半年業(yè)績的上升趨勢（除去網(wǎng)絡(luò)攻擊的影響）。所有事業(yè)部和地區(qū)都呈現(xiàn)增長，包括法國。即使價格基準(zhǔn)水平更高，我們依然看到其顯現(xiàn)出的正面影響，但受到原材料和能源價格上漲的大環(huán)境影響，集團所有業(yè)務(wù)都并非均能如此。集團持續(xù)專注其戰(zhàn)略重點，自年初至今已簽署了23項收購協(xié)議，包括最近完成的Glava收購案。

圣戈班已確認(rèn)2017年的全年目標(biāo)業(yè)績，我們期待即使在通貨膨脹的成本壓力下，下半年的同比增長營業(yè)額仍然可以超越上半年。“

相比于2016年的293.06億歐元，2017年前三季度合并后的銷售額達305.7億歐元。

集團架構(gòu)變動帶來的0.8%的正面影響，本質(zhì)上反映了在亞洲和新興國家的收購 (Emix, Solcrom, Tumelero)以及在新型小眾技術(shù)和服務(wù)上的收購(H-Old, Isonat, France Pare-Brise)合并后的成果，以及進一步鞏固我們在建材分銷領(lǐng)域的地位（尤其在北歐國家）的成就。

匯率變動前三季度帶來0.7%的負(fù)面影響，第三季度帶來顯著的2.2%的負(fù)面影響，主要是由于美元、英鎊以及其他一些亞洲和新興國家貨幣與歐元之間匯率的下跌。

前三季度銷售額同比增長4.2%，第三季度達到5.6%，持續(xù)了上半年的上升趨勢（除卻網(wǎng)絡(luò)攻擊的影響）。如7月末網(wǎng)絡(luò)攻擊后集團的聲明中所指出的，第二季度集團一些業(yè)務(wù)部遭受了額外損失，但6月銷售額企穩(wěn)。第三季度業(yè)績上漲3.6%（前三季度上漲2.4%），所有地區(qū)和事業(yè)部均保持了增長。在能源和原材料成本持續(xù)增加的情況下，第三季度價格因素仍帶來了2.0%的正面影響（前三季度共1.8%的正面影響）。

Like-for-like performance of Group Business Sectors

Innovative Materials sales climbed 4.8% over the nine-month period, including 6.1% in the third quarter.

-? Flat Glass delivered further good organic growth in the quarter, at 4.6% (5.3% for the nine-month period). The automotive business continued to report good volume growth in all regions, despite a less favorable mix effect compared to the first half. Sales linked to construction markets remained at good levels across Western Europe, with float glass price trends stabilizing and higher prices for transformed glass; Asia and emerging countries again performed well although we expect a negative impact from the earthquake in Mexico which affected our facilities.

-? High-Performance Materials (HPM) sales rose 8.7% over the quarter (4.5% over the nine-month period), driven by all regions and businesses, particularly Ceramics which was boosted by exceptionally strong sales of refractories during the summer.

Construction Products (CP) sales moved up 5.0% over the nine-month period and 7.4% in the third quarter.

-? Interior Solutions delivered 6.4% organic growth in the quarter (4.8% for the nine-month period), buoyed by healthy volume trends in Western Europe and in Asia and emerging countries. Trading in North America remained stable but with a smaller pricing contribution in a more competitive environment. The price contribution for the division as a whole remained in line with the first half, but still lags behind the rise in raw material and energy costs.

-? Exterior Solutions sales rose 8.7% in the third quarter (5.2% over the nine-month period), led by Exterior Products volumes which benefited from a more favorable basis for comparison than in the second quarter and from additional weather-related demand in the US in a competitive price environment. Pipe saw its prices gain ground amid continued strong inflation in raw material costs, while volumes remained affected by the lack of major export contracts. Mortars put in a good quarterly performance in its main regions, despite the Brazilian construction market remaining difficult.

Building Distribution sales rose 3.5% over the nine-month period and 4.1% in the third quarter, in line with first-half trends excluding the impact of the cyber-attack. Trading in France continued to recover, driven by good momentum in new-builds and the first signs of improvement in renovation. Nordic countries as well as the Netherlands and Spain continued to benefit from good market conditions. The UK reported further growth despite an uncertain environment, while Germany was down slightly. A difficult construction market continued to affect Brazil.

Like-for-like analysis by region

-? France continued to improve during the quarter, up 3.4% (up 2.6% over the nine-month period), buoyed by dynamic new-build activity. Renovation showed the first signs of improvement in the quarter.

-? Other Western European countries delivered further good growth, at 3.3% (2.9% over the nine-month period), led by Nordic countries. The UK reported lower growth driven by prices, with volumes settling and a continued lack of visibility. Germany remained hesitant.

-? North America reported 9.3% organic growth over the quarter (4.7% over the nine-month period). Construction volumes continued to trend well, helped by additional weather-related demand; industry was up overall. Pricing slowed amid a tougher basis for comparison and a particularly competitive environment.

-? Asia and emerging countries reported further good growth in the third quarter, at 10.8% (8.2% over the nine-month period), driven by all regions.

Strategic priorities and 2017 outlook

The Group continued to focus on its strategic priorities, with 19 acquisitions signed in the nine-month period and 4 finalized in October alone, including Kirson, Megaflex and Glava. The acquisition of the entire share capital of Glava, the insulation market leader in Norway, allows Saint-Gobain to consolidate its positions in Nordic countries.

Pursuant to the agreement between Saint-Gobain and the Burkard family relating to the sale of the shares of Schenker-Winkler Holding (SWH), which holds the majority of Sika voting rights, Saint-Gobain exercised its option to extend the validity of the agreement until June 30, 2018. Saint-Gobain will then have the option to further extend the agreement up until December 31, 2018. This further extension of the sale agreement once again reflects the alignment between the Burkard family and Saint-Gobain and their unwavering determination. The transaction makes strategic, industrial and financial sense for Saint-Gobain and for Sika, for their employees, for their customers and for all of their shareholders. Given the recent appreciation of the euro against the Swiss franc, Saint-Gobain has adapted its acquisition hedging strategy to fix the potential net gain at around €70 million. This is no indication of the future hedging strategy, which will need to evolve in line with market conditions.

The Group expects the following trends for the fourth quarter:

-? gradual improvement of construction markets in France;

-? continued upbeat trends overall in other Western European countries, despite less visibility in the UK and Germany still hesitant;

-? positive market conditions in North American construction;

-? good organic growth in Asia and emerging countries;

-? ongoing inflationary pressure on costs.

Saint-Gobain confirms its full-year 2017 objective of a like-for-like increase in operating income and expects the like-for-like increase for second-half 2017 to be above the level achieved in first-half 2017 despite ongoing inflationary pressure on costs.
