2016 targets
Page 16 Schneider Electric – JPM Conference 2016
2016 targets confirmed
As expected, the Group observed growth in Western Europe and in the construction market in the U.S.,
continued weakness in O&G and its related segments, and a mixed picture in new economies outside China.
China declined at a slower pace with early signs of improvement in tier 1 city construction markets, however
these signs of improvement need to be further confirmed.
Increased project selectivity started to impact revenues in Q1 as planned and the Group anticipates this impact
will accelerate through the year.
Moving forward, the Group’s priorities remain cost optimization, growth in Products, Software and Services and
improvement in Solutions margin.
Based on these trends, the Group confirms its 2016 targets of:
> Organic revenue growth to be flat to down low single-digit, impacted by the Group’s higher selectivity on
project activities.
> +20bps to +60bps improvement on adjusted EBITA margin before FX. The negative FX impact on margin is
estimated at -40bps to -50bps at current rates.
