The performance of Accor, Edenred and Rexel, consolidated by the equity method, are not discussed here; Accor and Edenred have already published their financial communications for the 3rd Quarter 2010 (on October 20 and October 19, respectively) and Rexel publishes its statement today.

I - PERFORMANCE OF GROUP COMPANIES FOR THE FIRST 9 MONTHS 2010

Consolidated revenues for Industry and Services (formerly Private Equity) was 2,925.4 million euros over the first 9 months of 2010, a 4.2% increase on a reported and comparable basis. The departure of B&B Hotels from the consolidation perimeter as of July 1, 2010 had a negative impact on 3rd Quarter reported revenues while, on a comparable basis, the 3rd Quarter marked a further acceleration compared with the 1st Half 2010 trend.

Revenues for the Real Estate business was 34.7 million euros for the first 9 months of 2010, an increase of 38.8% as reported (+6.0% on a comparable basis), a result of continued organic growth (+5.9%) in line with that observed in the 1st Half as well as the taking into account of rental income from B&B Hotels beginning in the 3rd Quarter. With the sale of this company, these rents are no longer treated as intra-group activity and are therefore included in Eurazeo’s consolidated revenues.

The effects of the divestiture of B&B Hotels on consolidated revenues were accounted for as of July 1, 2010, in view of the recent closure of the sale and of the relatively low significance of B&B Hotels’ revenues for the 3rd Quarter 2010.

APCOA

Strong sales performance drives 3rd Quarter growth

APCOA generated revenues of 509.5 million euros over the first 9 months of 2010, up 9.3% over the first 9 months of 2009 and 5.5% at constant scope and exchange rates. 3rd Quarter revenues increased 12.8% on a reported basis and 8.8% at constant scope and exchange rates reflecting the contribution from new contracts won since the beginning of the year and the rebound in passenger traffic at airports. This good performance confirms the signs of recovery in certain segments and helps partially offset difficulties encountered at the beginning of the year related to bad weather in January and February and the ash cloud in April.

Revenues increased in APCOA’s main countries over the first 9 months of 2010. Only the Eastern region recorded a decrease compared to last year, a result, particularly, of the loss of certain contracts in Austria. The United Kingdom, Germany and Scandinavia were the main contributors to the company’s revenue growth.

In addition, the strengthening of key functions continues including the recent recruitment of Ralf Bender as CFO and member of the Vorstand and Peter Schneck as Director of Development. Ralf Bender brings his considerable finance experience and expertise in the property sector which includes management positions at Metro and, more recently, with Majid al Futtaim Properties. Peter Schneck, formerly director of the Parking Division at Scheidt & Bachmann, has significant knowledge of the European parking sector and its players.

Elis

Continued external growth in Europe

Elis contributed 794.4 million euros to Eurazeo’s revenues for the first 9 months, an increase of 2.4% as reported and 0.9% at constant scope and exchange rates. 3rd Quarter performance, an increase of +3.6% as reported and +1.1% at constant scope and exchange rates, marks an improvement over the 1st Half (+1.8% as reported and +0.8% at constant scope and exchange rates).

In France, revenues for the first 9 months increased 1.5% (+0.4% on a comparable basis). The gradual recovery of the Hotels & Restaurants market (+1.7% at constant scope), is characterized by a fast-growing hotel market and an expanding foodservices market. The Industry, Trade and Services market, affected by rising unemployment, is stable. Finally, the Healthcare market continues to grow (+1.5%).

Internationally, growth was 6.7% (+3.1% at constant scope). Revenue growth remained strong in Germany (+8.3% on a comparable basis). In the Iberian Peninsula, revenue is growing, despite the particularly poor economic environment, a result of the signing of several new contracts. In addition, the rental service of work uniforms is growing strongly in Italy.

Finally, the Group continued its external growth policy in Europe with a significant acquisition in Spain, adding 17 million euros in revenues and four factories in northeastern Spain.

Elis strengthened its position in Spain and has become one of the industry’s major players with improved geographic coverage allowing it to offer its services throughout the country.

Europcar

Europcar revenue continues to grow helped by new improvement in average revenue per day

The 3rd Quarter saw the trend of the 2nd Quarter continue with an increase of 7.8% as reported and 6.0% at constant exchange rates. Consolidated revenue for Europcar for the first 9 months of 2010 was 1,523.0 million euros, up 6.6% as reported and 4.7% at constant exchange rates.

This growth mainly reflects a further increase in revenue per day (RPD), which rose 4.5% at constant exchange rates in the 3rd Quarter. It is the eighth consecutive quarter in which Europcar has improved its RPD which increased 3.9% over the first 9 months of the year at constant exchange rates. The number of rental days increased 1.3% over the period and 0.9% for the first 9 months of the year. Fleet utilization for the first 9 months of 2010 remains at a high 74.3% level, a slight increase over the same period last year.

On October 18, Europcar, Daimler and local authorities in Hamburg, Germany, announced the deployment in the city of an innovative urban mobility solution, called car2go. 300 Smart cars equipped with advanced technology developed by Daimler will enable locating via GPS, access control and billing of rental charges to the minute for subscribers as of spring 2011. The car2go solution will be operated in Hamburg by a joint venture 75% owned by Europcar and 25% by Daimler.

Europcar also announced a three-year partnership on October 1 with the professional cycling team led by Jean-Rene Bernaudeau. This commitment to a sport with a global audience will increase awareness of the Europcar brand in both corporate countries and franchise territories. This initiative is part of the of the reinforced promotion strategy aimed at increasing the brand's visibility, particularly with the general public.

ANF Immobilier

Continued growth in 3rd Quarter, confirmation of the annual revenue growth objective

ANF Immobilier rents continued to increase during the first 9 months of 2010 with revenues of 50.9 million euros, up +5.3% or +6.8% at constant scope (restated for acquisitions and property disposals but including 1st Half rents from B&B Hotels which were restated in Eurazeo’s consolidated revenues). Based on Lyons and Marseilles properties only, the increase of 10.1% at constant scope results mainly from growth in retail property rents.

This growth will accelerate in the 4th Quarter with the delivery of several projects and the conclusion of new commercial leases.

ANF Immobilier confirms its annual revenue growth objective of over 10% at constant scope in the city center sector.

ANF Immobilier property vacancy is primarily related to housing in Marseilles. Intensifying its efforts to reduce the 25,000 m2 of currently vacant property, ANF Immobilier seeks to lower the vacancy level 40% by 2011.

Since the beginning of the year, ANF Immobilier has begun a process of asset disposals for 60 million euros, 43.8 million euros of which are already sold or under contract. The overall selling price is in line with the latest appraisal values. ANF Immobilier is accelerating its schedule of asset rotation through the launch of a disposal program of 45,000 square meters of housing. In addition to this program of asset disposals, ANF Immobilier continues to invest in Lyons and Marseilles where projects valued at 320 million euros are underway.

LH 19: ACCOR

Eurazeo negotiated two new financings, non-recourse to Eurazeo, secured by the value of Accor and Edenred shares, replacing the 2008 loan put in place at the time of the acquisition of Accor shares. These new financings for a total amount higher than the existing financing (560 million euros versus 537 million euros) will make an additional amount of around 23 million euros available to Eurazeo and releasing the balance of the cash collateral (28 million euros, including Eurazeo Partners’ portion). They provide the necessary flexibility to conserve all options including retention of the shares for a 5-year period, without refinancing constraints, and sale of the Edenred and Accor shares, independently, at the appropriate time.

Intercos

Strong rebound in results and new financing plan

In 2010, Intercos recorded a strong rebound in orders: 204 million euros as of September 30, 2010 compared with 151 million euros for the same period in 2009, representing 35% growth and a level of orders similar to 2008. In the first 9 months of 2010, consolidated revenues amounted to 177 million euros compared with 159 million euros over the same period in 2009, representing growth of 12%. This return to growth is mainly a result of dynamism in emerging markets and in the U.S. and confirms Intercos’ strategy of international expansion and innovation.

Intercos has renegotiated all of its financing with a two-year extension of the maturity of senior bank debt, amendment of the covenants for this debt and the obtaining of a line of additional financing in the form of a non-voting mezzanine for an amount of up to 50 million euros. The subscription of this mezzanine is guaranteed by Intercos principal shareholder, Dario Ferrari; Eurazeo, which holds 25.1% of the capital through Euraleo, retains the option of subscribing its holdings until the end of 2010.

The new financing obtained will enable Intercos to expand its presence to new countries such as Brazil and fully play a role as a global leader in the design and production of beauty products for the world’s leading cosmetics companies, benefiting particularly from the outsourcing trend among cosmetics brands and retailers.

Banca Leonardo

Reinforcement of advisory teams and range of funds

After strong growth during the first 6 months of the year, Banca Leonardo’s net banking income in the 3rd Quarter of 2010 was 45.2 million euros, in line with the 3rd Quarter of 2009. Banca Leonardo’s net banking income for first 9 months of 2010 amounted to 138.6 million euros, an increase of +17%. This growth was driven by management activity, which had growth of 8% during the 3rd Quarter of 2010, while assets under management continued to rise, reaching 9.5 billion euros (+3% compared to June 2010 and +14% compared to September 2009).

In recent months, the bank’s financial advisory teams were strengthened with the arrival of Berent Wallendahl, former Dresdner Kleinwort executive committee member and responsible for Leonardo’s advisory activities in Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Scandinavia. In addition, DNCA has increased the range of international product offers with the arrival of Rajesh Varma who will manage a new fund, Global Convictions.
