and year-on-year changes (unaudited)

* Based on a comparable Group structure (i.e. including Radicon for the same periods of 2014) and at current exchange rates.

Consolidated revenue rose by 3.1% in the first nine months of 2015, with organic growth coming in at 3.3% excluding the impact of a decrease in staffing activities.

Third-quarter revenue posted by the Energy & Infrastructure division rose sharply, with the nuclear business returning to a solid pace of growth as expected.

Revenue generated by the Global Product Solutions division in the third quarter of 2015 was once again fuelled by strong momentum in the automotive sector. In the aerospace business, revenue stabilised (excluding the impact of a decline in LAK^[1] activities), and was up significantly in France.
