Before each earnings release, Bouygues collects and formally releases all the forecasts issued by the sell-side analysts in charge of stock coverage.
The aim of this approach is to provide the market with a consensus that is as reliable and representative as possible.

This consensus is published on Bouygues’ website five trading days prior to the release, so that those interested (shareholders, investors, analysts, journalists) can access it at the same time.

The following data are collected:

• Group sales
• Group EBITDA
• Group current operating profit
• Group net profit (attributable to the Group)
 
 

Procedure:

The analysts email their estimates to the Group. The average, median, maximum and the minimum of the sample are published.
All the analysts’ contributions are anonymous and no comment is given by the Group, in compliance with the stock-market regulation.

Full-year 2011 results will be posted on Tuesday 28 February 2011 at 5.45pm.
