Risultato netto annuale 2009: +14,2 milioni di euro"Siamo soddisfatti dei risultati ottenuti, considerata la gravità della crisi nel 2009 . Il modello che abbiamo adottato ci consente di adattarci rapidamente alle condizioni di mercato e di offrire, pertanto, ai nostri azionisti, risultati e dividendi ricorrenti . La crisi finanziaria ha ridotto la capacità di finanziamento dei nostri clienti, che ricorrono maggiormente alla locazione per soddisfare le nuove esigenze . Al termine della crisi ci aspettiamo un inversione di tendenza significativa" hanno dichiarato Fabrice e Raphaël Walewski, managing partner di TOUAX . Diminuzione limitata dei risultati 2009Although revenue fell by 26% in 2009, the Group resisted well with a 1% rise in leasing revenue and a limited drop in EBITDA (-8%) and net profit (-16%) after distribution to investors .

(1) EBITDA (earnings before interest taxes depreciation and amortization) calculated by the Group corresponds to the current operating income as defined by the CNC plus allowances for depreciation and provisions for fixed assets . (2) Operating income after distribution to investors corresponds to the current operating income as defined by the CNC . (3) Including E112 . 8 million in debt without recourse in 2009 . Analysis of the Group s four divisionsThe Shipping Containers Division was affected in 2009 both by the lack of container sales to investors and by the drop in leasing and utilization rates which correlated to higher storage fees . The new producer/lessor status enabled the Modular Buildings Division to withstand the recession well . The combination of its expanding market share along with the recovery of utilization rates since April 2009 has enabled the Division to make a larger contribution to the Group s profit . The River Barges Division suffered a drop in chartering on the Rhine and was affected by in service costs of new investments delivered in 2009 but which will not be productive until 2010 . The Railcars Division benefited from a growth in assets under management (+12 . 7%) and an increase in railcar sales to investors . Financial position assuredKey events for 2009 included:- An E18 . 6 million capital increase in June (capital issue) and July 2009 (dividend paid in shares) . - The gearing ratio (debt with recourse/equity capital) stood at 1 . 47 in December 2009 versus 1 . 56 in December 2008 . The leverage ratio representing the capacity to reimburse financial debt (net debt with recourse/EBITDA) was 3 . 86 years in 2009 versus 2 . 98 in 2008 . - TOUAX had over E50 million in lines of credit available at December 31, 2009 . A sound economic modelTOUAX s strength is based on our strategy for creating value . The company s principal advantages include:- Proprietary assets leased worth E486 million (a E70 million increase over 2009) invested in standardized, mobile equipment benefiting from a long useful life (between 15 and 50 years), which generates long-term leasing profitability and recurring revenue streams . These assets provide the Group with a potential over time to create value through short-term profits on sales . - Leased assets under management worth E817 million (a E5 million increase in 2009) through long-term management contracts . These outsourced investments produce additional revenue streams and improve the profitability of equity without tying up capital . - Our development policy resolutely focused on international markets in order to benefit from world trade (83% of revenues are generated outside France) . TOUAX has operations on five continents . - Extensive diversification in four business lines with strong, long-term growth drivers (despite the contraction in 2009): globalized trade and growth in Asia boosts leasing of shipping containers; Europe s deregulated rail freight market favors freight railcar leasing; the need for flexibility and competitive costs provides modular buildings the edge over traditional buildings; and growing environmental concerns are boosting river transport . Business outlook for 2010: positive signals of a return to growthThe International Monetary Fund predicts a return to worldwide growth in 2010, and forecasts remain positive (+3 . 3% IMF - January 2010, +5 . 5% Clarkson Research Services - February 2010) . Growth is not evenly distributed worldwide, however: weak growth is predicted in developed countries and strong growth in developing countries (BRIC) . Shipping containersThe worldwide lack of production in shipping containers since September 2008 combined with a 5% reduction in the fleet available on the market has limited overcapacity . The recovery in trade between Asian countries over the past six months has boosted demand for new container leasing from shipping companies and has raised both utilization rates and lease prices . Modular buildingsThe Modular Buildings Division continues to expand into new markets due to its numerous advantages over traditional buildings . It benefits from various European recovery plans focusing on infrastructure and construction . The development of new products (modular and industrialized buildings complying with the highest building standards) should enable expansion into new markets (public housing, student housing, social and activity centers, etc . ) . River bargesRiver transport remains the most environmentally-friendly form of transport: it uses 3 . 7 times less oil, emits 4 times less C02, and is 7 times less expensive than road transport . These advantages give it a preferential position for obtaining support from major industrials and public authorities in favor of alternative transport methods . Freight railcarsThe Railcars Division benefits from the structural need to renew the European fleet, as well as the economic and ecological advantages of rail transport . The crisis slowed demand in 2009, creating temporary overcapacity in certain types of railcars, and few new railcars are expected for delivery in 2010 . On the other hand, a gradual increase in utilization rates is predicted for 2010, and a turnaround is forecast in 2011 with a return of investments . The Group predicts stable leasing revenue and improved sales in 2010 . The TOUAX Group provides its operational leasing services to a global customer base, both for its own account and on behalf of investors . TOUAX is the European leader in shipping containers and river barges, and no . 2 in modular buildings and freight railcars (intermodal railcars) . TOUAX is well positioned to take advantage of the rapid growth in corporate outsourcing of non-strategic assets and offers efficient and flexible leasing solutions to more than 5,000 customers daily . TOUAX is listed in Paris on NYSE EURONEXT - Euronext Paris Compartment C (ISIN code FR0000033003) . SBF 250 index .

La nuova alleanza consentirà di sfruttare in maniera sinergica le conoscenze ed esperienze di entrambe le società: IDC fornirà le ricerche più recenti di market intelligence e naseba si occuperà dell implementazione sul mercato . "We are extremely excited with the additional capabilities that this partnership with naseba brings .

The region is also expected to see a robust CAGR of 7 . 0% in ICT spending; more than twice the 2 . 7% CAGR forecast for the world during this period .

IDC s dominant market position and recognized brand in the Asia/Pacific region, along with naseba s know-how and experience in selling, marketing and hosting exclusive B2B congresses, will lead to business growth and a stronger presence and position in the region for both firms .
