Excluding the contribution of Wall and Titan on the Street Furniture division, the operating margin as a percentage of revenues was 33.8%, an increase of 190 basis points from 31.9% in the same period the previous year, reflecting a good operating leverage in most markets where the Group operates.

Transport: Operating margin more than doubled to €115.4 million. As a percentage of revenues, the operating margin was 14.8% (2009: 9.4%). The strong operating margin increase was driven by the increase in revenues in Asia-Pacific and North America as well as the contribution of the new assets, including Titan rail contracts.

Billboard: Operating margin increased by 68.7% to €64.1 million and as a percentage of revenues the
operating margin was up to 15.1%, compared to 9.6% in 2009. The billboard division benefited from a
rebound in revenues mainly in France and the United Kingdom as well as the positive outcome of the
recurrent cost saving measures launched in 2009 in every market where the Group operates.

EBIT(2)
EBIT increased by 127.2% to €279.0 million, up from €122.8 million in 2009. The Group’s EBIT margin was
11.9% of consolidated revenues (2009: 6.4%). Excluding the impact from changes in scope for 2010 and
impairment charges occurred in 2009, charges associated with depreciation, amortization as well as
consumption of maintenance spare parts and others were largely stable.

Excluding the non recurring €10.7 million financial gain on a Joint Venture debt forgiveness recorded in 2009, net financial income was flat as lower financial interests were offset by higher financial discounting charges.

Equity affiliates
Share of net profit from equity affiliates increased by €34.6 million to €3.9 million, compared to - €30.7 million in 2009. Excluding the impact of impairment charges and exceptional items in 2009 and in 2010 the share of net profit from equity affiliates slightly increased reflecting the mild improvement in performances of the equity affiliates in 2010. Wall and BigBoard are no longer consolidated as equity affiliates.

Net income Group share
Net income Group share increased 7 times to €173.3 million, compared to €24.5 million in 2009. This increase mainly reflects the higher EBIT and the improved share of net profit from equity affiliates.

Free Cash flow(4)
Free cash flow increased to €327.4 million in 2010 from €164.8 million in 2009 reflecting the rebound in net cash flow from operating activities, a tight control of working capital, and lower capital expenditure.
