2010 Nine-Month Net Sales Up 19.4% to €13 Billion

  • Continued growth across all tire markets, at a faster pace than expected at the start of the year.

  • Unit sales up 13.8% for the period, in line with the full-year target, sustained by robust performances across all operating segments.

  • 0.5% improvement in the price mix, reflecting the positive impact of price rises implemented since the start of the year, which more than offset the effect of the negative OE/RT mix.

  • Based on this performance, Michelin confidently reaffirms its objectives for 2010:

    • Around 12% growth in unit sales.

    • Ongoing responsive pricing to offset the expected rise in raw materials costs (which is likely to drive up expenses for the year by €600 million to €650 million).

    • Close to 9% operating margin before non-recurring items.

    • Positive free cash flow for the year.
