Consolidated operating profit 2014∙15
2014/15 was a challenging year in all aspects for Newrest Group. Despite a number of international headwinds the group managed to produce an excellent overall result. Global consolidated sales grew by 8.5%, while consolidated operating profit was improved by 12.9% over prior year. The year was particular in that it was dedicated to consolidating dimensional changes in our key sectors, while at the same time taking advantage of our healthy financial situation in order to accelerate purposeful organic growth of our portfolio of companies as well as targeted acquisitions to enhance our network in various sectors. The spectre of terrorism, aggravated by the conflicts in Syria and the Ukraine has pressured the European tourist industry, while the growing issue of the refugee crisis in Europe is placing enormous pressure on governments and populations in general in terms of security, social costs, and political extremism. Faced in addition with a complicated environment due to the general European debt crisis, Greek political and economic situation, Russian monetary (and tourism) decline and oil price effect, and the global decline of oil & gas and commodity prices, the Group
invested significant efforts in operational execution, cost reductions and productivity improvements, supply chain aggregation and simplification, global commercial offering, and a high focus on quality and service in order to solidify a reliable long-term business capable of withstanding external shocks, irrespective of sector. Key highlights during the year were the finalisation of the construction of new catering units in Toronto and Santiago de Chile, four new catering units in the United Kingdom, new units in Brussels and Charleroi in Belgium, completion of our brand new unit at the airport in Accra, and finally a new unit in Casablanca, Morocco. Further we have invested in our Central and South American growth strategy with the acquisition of Casa Philips in Costa Rica and the launching of operations in Colombia. In the retail sector, four new points of sales were opened in Casablanca, including Paul and Illy franchises, and six new Sky Sales outlets in Saudi Arabia. Despite a challenging
global oil & commodity market, the Group progressed again in the remote site sector with the new operations of Saipem TAD-1 rig operations in Congo and the launch of our major operation in New Caledonia on behalf of Vale at their Deep South nickel-cobalt plant. In terms of airline lounges and lounge management, the Group has almost doubled the number of lounges it manages for airline customers to 44 in 2015. Finally we have restructured our contract with the SNCF in France, a key contract in our rail sector, for a win-win with the client in order to improve innovation, efficiency, productivity, reliability and customer service while extending our relationship until 2020. We have simplified our central structures in order to be more efficient, reduce our overheads, and streamline our decision-making processes. We reduced the number of zones in Africa to two from three as our local management structures have become more mature and capable. We have centralised a single Marketing & Sales structure with a focus on our key B-to-B structures of Inflight, Rail, Remote Site, and Catering in order to harmonize our offering, centralise our tool kits, and speed up customer response. We have invested hundreds of thousands of hours in training and skills upgrade for our managers and employees worldwide, in order to support internal promotion, being well aware that our people are our most valuable resource. We instituted and enhanced share purchase program in order to help more than 100 of our key managers acquire shares, or increase their shareholding, in our company, reflecting our absolute belief in the value of employee ownership of the company in order to develop leaders and attract talent. Strong, stable ownership and our formidable independence, allows us to concentrate on a long-term view for a durable business; and we are convinced this model is a major differentiating factor over our major competitors in all our key business sectors and brings key value to our customers. We are currently in the second year of our 3-year strategic plan and have already achieved all the key objectives set in Cape Town in 2013/14; we are already in the process of developing our new 3-year plan which we expect to roll out in January 2016. We will review and try to overcome our weaknesses, further reduce unnecessary costs, and focus incessantly on cost-effective purchasing and logistics. Where possible we wish to be part of the fabric of the
local environment, to contribute to the social economic development both in our business processes and in terms of culture, respect and humanity. We will continue to invest in growth markets, while focusing on our fundamentals in more mature markets. We need to innovate with new business models and services, but also focus on our core strengths in catering going forward. We will certainly increase our focus on mature industrial catering markets, where we believe our simple low cost, high service quality model will appeal to customers and consumers alike. We will strive to continue to improve, to stay lean but to accelerate our execution, and to drive ourselves to be better every day. We are well aware that our customers determine our success; we will endeavour to increase quality while offering highly competitive costs and services. Newrest also intends to actively embrace the digital age: we have already established a competence centre focussed only on digital technology in our headquarters in order to take advantage of a digital industry that has created a knowledge-based society surrounded by a hightech global economy, which influences how manufacturing throughput and the service sector operate in an efficient and convenient way. The information technology industry allows individuals to explore their personalized needs, therefore simplifying the procedure of making decisions for transactions and significantly lowering costs for both producers and buyers; we intend to take advantage of this digital technology in order to get closer to our customers and consumers and smarter and more efficient in our processes. Finally we need to learn and adapt in ever changing markets in order to build a better, more resilient company, while retaining our “family” company values and ethics. 2014/15 was an arduous but successful year. We expect major challenges in the coming year and have geared up our teams for the tasks ahead of us. We would like to thank our customers for their trust and loyalty, our staff for their hard work and dedication, and our multiple stakeholders for their confidence and cooperation.

In airports, at highway service stations, on board ships and at bus terminals, Newrest Retail creates and manages retail outlets dedicated to food services, as well as shops. To manage these outlets, Newrest Retail structured three chains to best satisfy market demand: brands specific to Newrest Retail, international franchises and local franchises.
P R O P R I E TA R Y B R A N D S To meet consumer expectations, Newrest Retail has designed a portfolio of internal brands such as Daily
Break, Caffé Lindo, Sky Shop, The Lunch and Malinche. The marketing policy for these brands targets harmonisation of points of sale. In each country, Newrest Retail adapts part of the offering to precisely match specific regional consumer practices.
I N T E R N AT I O N A L & L O C A L FRANCHISES For its franchise brand development, Newrest Retail has relied on the services of international groups such as Paul, Illy Café, Pomme de Pain, etc. In certain countries, local, customised franchise concepts allow Newrest Retail to support site managers by providing region-specific offerings. The inclusion of local franchise brands is one of the tools used, for example Medina and Monsieur Brochette in Morocco.

Before opening a franchise, Newrest Retail manages the entire creation process. We rigorously analyse the constraints and advantages of the future outlet in accordance with its location, visitor traffic, and the number and profile of potential customers. We define the interior design, the furniture, decor, uniforms and communication visuals, and monitor the construction of the premises. We select the range of products that will best suit our clientele of international or national travellers, while taking into account local traditions in terms of taste preferences and the mandatory requirements of franchise brands.
The expertise acquired by Newrest Retail allows it to continue to create other customised retail concepts for new markets and to negotiate partnership contracts with prestigious local partners and international brands based on the development of franchises.
Once the outlets have opened, we take over full management of the premises, which includes purchasing and selling the products at the best quality/price ratio. This service also includes occasional events and promotions to boost traffic, avoid monotony, favour impulse buying and thereby offer a dynamic image of our points of sale. This management also obviously includes maintenance and cleaning. The site director, technical management team and all of the employees are Newrest personnel. To ensure the quality of our service is always optimal, we provide continuous training to our teams.

In Europe, despite a complex economic and political environment in some of the division's countries, Newrest saw its turnover grow by 5% over 2014/15, 3% of which in the inflight sector. France, both for inflight and rail, worked on the quality of its services and the development of its expertise. This allowed the French subsidiaries to see the renewal of their clients' contracts, and to also be awarded major tenders, in particular for the management of lounges such as Emirates' at Roissy Charles de Gaulle. Newrest Wagons-Lits France was also certified ISO 9001. Spain saw its turnover decrease this year. The strong growth in business for airlines such as Air Europa, Qatar Airways and Emirates did not offset the back-catering policies adopted by client airlines, in particular in the Palma de Mallorca and Canary Island airports. The Newrest Group must find more ways to diversify its business, in particular for maritime companies and private aviation. In Greece, the political situation was particularly complicated this year, to which was added the rouble's depreciation which affected our Russian clients. Yet, thanks to tourism in the region and the growth of our client Aegean Airlines, our subsidiary managed to see an increase of 10% in its business.

North American airlines, as well as the additional flights of Qatar Airways, Emirates and Korean Air, contributed to this achievement. Our subsidiary in Cyprus was heavily affected as well by the difficulties facing our Russian clients, leading to a decline in its turnover of close to 20%. We must now adjust our business model to develop business in other sectors. The United Kingdom saw significant growth with the arrival of new clients such as Flybe and BMI Regional, which has allowed the Group to open four new units in this region. Our objective is to turn the United Kingdom into a region of excellence by achieving ISO certification in the upcoming year. In Benelux, the Netherlands and Belgium started to share services, thereby creating the synergy that was required. In the Netherlands, the unit in Amsterdam was redesigned to better serve Middle Eastern airlines such as Qatar Airways, in particular, in June. In Belgium, the year was marked by the inauguration of our new production unit, which will serve our new client Jetairfly as of November 2015. In Switzerland, despite actions targeting purchases and synergies between the two businesses, Inflight and Catering, we were not able to archieve budget. In the corporate catering sector, new contracts were signed, which led to growth in sales. In terms of Inflight, the drop in business of our two main clients was offset by a rise in business aviation and growth in Lounge activities, in particular thanks to the contracts signed with Air France, KLM and Dnata. In Austria, 2014/15 saw the relocation of the Westbahnhof premises to Matzleinsdorferplatz in December. Hygiene and service quality allowed our Austrian subsidiary to reach high-quality performance levels. Also, it was highly professional in managing the crisis resulting from the transportation of refugees from Vienna to other European capitals. Over the past year, Croatia saw significant growth in its business due to an increase in passenger travel at the Dubrovnik airport and the investments made in training and marketing for the private aviation sector. Despite a difficult year, Portugal was awarded the rail contract for Alfa Pendulares in October 2015.

Managed turnover decrease in Austria
2014/15 was a very successful year for Newrest Wagons-Lits in Austria. The financial year began with a big change for our subsidiary: after nearly 140 years of activity in Vienna’s Westbahnhof train station, our business unit was reorganized in December 2014 and our night train’s logistic centre was moved to Matzleinsdorfer Platz. Operations on ÖBB night trains continue to be the main activity of our Austrian subsidiary. In 2014/15 a steadily increasing passenger flow was recorded (about 15%), with peaks of even 30% in some months. This is also due to the European refugee crisis, which considerably affected our Austrian business: numerous special trains were programmed by the ÖBB in order to transport refugees from Vienna to different destinations in Germany and Italy. Despite the
considerable increase in work and stress for our staff, some of our employees pitched in voluntarily, assisting refugees in Vienna’s train stations or coordinating trains between Hungary and Austria. Not only did the refugee crisis affect our business, but it also affected our staff on a more personal level, since they were face to face with people whose lives had been turned upside down. Even in this difficult situation, our Austrian team maintained their professionalism and humanity. A new business started for Newrest Wagons-Lits in Austria, as the German railway operator Deutsche Bahn, gradually stopped car transport service between Austria and Germany. As a replacement, ÖBB introduced a new train, connecting Vienna to Düsseldorf in Germany, also offering a wagon for passengers to load their cars for travel. After several months of preparation and training, our Austrian subsidiary took over logistic activities of these trains, including loadings of cars and motorbikes. In early July, Newrest Wagons-Lits started a new contract for ÖBB-Postbus, offering cleaning services on board travel buses for the Austrian Railway Operator’s subsidiary. Some 1,350 buses have been successfully cleaned this summer in different locations all over Austria.
Austria / Belgium
As in previous years, ÖBB and Deutsche Bahn audited Newrest Wagons-Lits in Austria focusing on specific quality specifications in relation to train security and service quality. This summer, ÖBB implemented a new quality control system, checking each train before departure and during travel, in order to comply perfectly with local standards for Austrian regulation controls. The different checks carried out by our client, showed the high quality performance displayed by our staff on night trains with a failure rate of only 7‰ (best rate registered by ÖBB suppliers).

In the five Belgian airports (Brussels, Antwerp, Ostend, Liège and Charleroi), Newrest Servair will serve 10,000 annual flights for Jet Air Fly as of 1 November 2015.

After an encouraging 2013/14, once again 2014/15 confirmed the solid health of our Croatian subsidiary. During the year, turnover increased significantly in all of Newrest in Croatia's business sectors.

This new contract is a true challenge for the joint venture, both in terms of investments, with the purchase of 11 highloader trucks, and the teams, as 60 new employees will be joining the group in upcoming months. This new contract with the Belgian airline will boost the joint venture's reputation for its expertise and will allow the Newrest Group to even further develop its business in Benelux, more precisely in Belgium.

Thanks to rising passenger travel (+6%) at the Dubrovnik airport, airport retail sales leaped by 15%. For its part, turnover from inflight rose by 9%, in particular thanks to growth in the private aviation sector, and reaped the benefits of the investments made in prior years in personnel training and marketing. Finally, the personnel consumption rate for catering was clearly on the rise, with a 29% increase in sales. Production and operating costs stayed at similar or lower levels than the previous year, with Newrest's profitability therefore mechanically rising significantly. The inflight catering contract with Croatia Airlines was also renewed this year, as was the contract to fit out their trolleys. Three new contracts for the VIP market also added to the good news. Since December 2014, our unit in Dubrovnik has been certified ISO 9001:2008, thereby complying with our strategy to ramp up Newrest Group's actions promoting Quality and Hygiene. In addition to the certification, this approach also allowed for the reengineering of the subsidiary's processes, as well

as the implementation of a continuous improvement policy that benefits all of our clients and employees. With regard to training, our management visited the Newrest unit at Le Bourget, a kitchen close to Paris and that is essentially dedicated to catering for private aviation, in order to train on VIP recipes and cuisine. These exchanges will continue in the future, as they favour the improvement of services and the diversification of expertise that our Croatian subsidiary offers. Finally, for the second consecutive year, Newrest in Croatia received the “Gold” award from the Croatian financial agency FINA for the HORECA (hotels, restaurants and catering) category. All of our employees are proud to have won this award, which recognizes the great performance of our subsidiary despite increasingly harsh competition within the most dynamic business sector of the Croatian economy.
Key forecasted European economic indicators are mostly negative and show only little signs of progress. Group’s Cypriot subsidiary mainly operates in the inflight business, serving more than 4,000 meals per day for more than 35 clients on our Larnaca production unit. In addition to the difficult economic climate, some of the main local clients experienced major financial problems: Cyprus Airways announced the closure of the airline and all its activities in December 2014, and Transaero, the most important client of our Cypriot subsidiary, decided to do return catering for the flight departing to Moscow and St. Petersburg. One piece of bad news followed another, as their winter schedule was also cancelled, leaving our subsidiary with irregular charter activity. Additionally, in May 2015, Etihad Airways also announced its decision to stop the catering service provided by Newrest from our Larnaca unit, in order to begin return catering.

Consequently, Newrest’s revenue fell by 23% in Cyprus, compared to the year 2013/14, and business was not able to meet target. The Larnaca unit had to redefine itself very quickly: our subsidiary gained momentum and began an in-depth restructuration in order to sustain its position as inflight catering leader in Larnaca. During this dark period, the Cyprus team was able to rejoice in sme good news: in April, Aegean Airlines announced that Larnaca would become a yearly hub with 4 stationed aircrafts. Their new flight network was focused on Greece and in addition new traditional international routes were established, as operated by Cyprus Airways before. In July, Newrest in

Additionally, the Cypriot subsidiary focused on VIP inflight catering, providing high quality services for private flights, and strengthening its relationship with VIP airlines and the local VIP handlers and agents. In the quality sector, Newrest in Cyprus renewed its Halal Certificate for 2014/15. For next year, the Cypriot subsidiary has many key challenges to address, starting with a significant increase in productivity, strengthening its operations and seeking out alternative activity sectors in the catering business. With highly trained staff focused on strengthening relations with clients and suppliers, Newrest Cyprus welcomes these challenges and commits to excellence.

Managed turnover increase in France
In France, 2014/15 saw consolidation in every business sector: inflight catering, rail catering and catering for B&I, in
particular with regard to the operating bases and our teams. Actions in all of the Group's areas, whether organizational or related to human resources, quality or purchases, were launched to achieve the balance required in terms of skills, competitiveness and greater quality in services provided. In the rail sector, our teams worked throughout the year on the year's two major areas of focus: quality and dynamic sales activities. ISO 9001 certification was granted and many marketing events boosted sales, led by our sales teams acting as the main facilitators on board trains. Newrest Wagons-Lits in France is particularly proud of the renewed trust of its client Alléo, whose contract has been extended for two additional years. In the inflight sector, the teams focused their attention on guaranteeing continuous quality of service. This massive plan, which targets products, regularity in service and onboard sales contacts, was deployed throughout the year on all French stopovers. We achieved our goal, as 100% of our clients renewed their contracts for upcoming years. Finally, the deployment of a very high quality culinary offer, supported by the Newrest Group's expertise in reception and service, allowed us to win major invitations to tender for the management of airport lounges,

in particular Emirates' at Paris-Charles de Gaulle. This new contract is a true opportunity to meet the quality requirements and demands of this prestigious company as it serves its customers. In terms of prospects for the new year, Newrest in France is focusing its efforts on the launch of a new production unit in Nice. Our Buy-on-Board and Duty Free on Board businesses changed significantly this year. A quality partnership with one of the world's leaders in Duty Free on Board has allowed us to develop exclusive offers for our clients. Throughout the year, Newrest in France worked on the customization of offers for each of our client companies and adopted an approach to gain share in this high-potential market. In parallel, the Buy-on-Board business grew significantly, with the arrival of new clients on the French market, such as Volotea. The contract between Seashop, a subsidiary of the Newrest Group that manages Duty-Free on board ships, and its sole client, Corsica Ferries, was renewed. This contractual renewal highlights a solid partnership with the maritime company, which has undertaken to renew its trust in the Newrest Group for the next five years. Finally, our businesses in the French West Indies and Reunion Island continued to grow thanks to Newrest Group's expertise: Corsair entrusted to Newrest the management of its lounges in Fort-de-France and Pointe-à-Pitre, and Air Austral's Buy-on-Board contract for Reunion Island was renewed for three years.
2014/15 was a complicated year for Greece: the political and financial situation remains extremely difficult, and the Middle-East refugee crisis added enormous pressure, mainly to the Easternmost Greek islands. Lastly, the continued devaluation of the Russian rouble was damaging to the Greek island inflight sector. In spite of these major crises, tourism in the Athens region prospered, which allowed Newrest in Greece to forge ahead and attain vital targets in the inflight sector. Our production unit in Athens witnessed a strong year in terms of revenue compared to last year’s results. This helped the Greek subsidiary to achieve an overall 9.7% gain in inflight turnover compared to 2013/14. Key factors to this growth were Aegean Airlines’ fleet increase and its significant boost in international traffic and the destinations served. Ryanair also contributed, adding a fourth aircraft to its Athens fleet and long-haul inflight activity flourishing out of Athens.

North American activity grew as Delta and Air Canada prolonged their respective summer seasons and introduced additional weekly flights. American Airlines and Air Transat also extended their summer seasons, which also resulted in higher revenue for Newrest in Greece. The Asian market grew as Qatar Airways introduced a third daily flight out of Athens. Emirates, Singapore Airlines added summer flights and Korean Air started its first ever charter program to Athens. Unfortunately, Etihad stopped requesting catering services from Athens in March 2015. Unlike Athens, the peripheral activity weakened, mainly due to the Russian crisis. Russian airlines continued to reduce their catering services and intensified return catering on all Moscow and St Petersburg flights. Small local Greek airlines such as Astra Airlines and Blue Bird, restructured their flight programs and demonstrated good performance. In the catering sector, revenue decreased by 5%, as 3 contracts were lost —mainly the staff feeding contract at Athens International Airport— and there were no new contracts signed. The catering activity suffers from the deterioration of the market situation for many companies, the 10% increase in VAT imposed in the summer of 2015 and the drop in consumers’ purchasing power. Regarding the QHSE, our Greek subsidiary renewed Halal certification in 2014/15 and proudly obtained ISO 18001 certification at our Athens’s production unit for the first time.
Thanks to hard work from a close-knit and dedicated team, Newrest in Greece was able to make 2014/15 another strong year. Continuing these values is the key to ultimately reaching our goals for next year: our Greek subsidiary will face number of challenges, which include building on Athens’ achievement, seeking greater efficiency and productivity gains despite the pressure on sales costs from the continuous bank capital controls, increasing revenue by putting emphasis on the VIP inflight and extending our services to existing clients.

Managed turnover increase in the Netherlands
The year 2014/15 was a tough year for Newrest in the Netherlands. A difficult situation resulted on 3 different points: first of all, several renewed contracts of Dutch subsidiary resulted in the decrease of margins even if there was higher turnover. In January, a new law was implemented in order to bring agency staff to the same basic conditions as fixed staff. This regulation resulted in 5% increase of Newrest in Netherlands overall labour costs. Additionally, new regulations of the European Union on provisioning of information on allergens needed amendment of our internal systems. Consequently, the key project for this year in Netherlands was to reduce costs in order to improve productivity. Mainly Middle-East carriers’ deployed new routes to Amsterdam’s airport. In order to stay competitive in the local market our Dutch subsidiary, operating essentially on the inflight business, required a Halal kitchen. Investments were made in the inflight

production unit: the complete rebuilding of the unit was finished January 2015 and resulted in the arrival of several high quality level customers during the year. Some new inflight clients are now served departing from Amsterdam, like Easyjet (3 based aircraft), Air Canada (6 flights per week and about 78.000 in house made meals per year), Qatar Airways (6 flights per week and about 85.000 in house made meals per year) and Yangtse River Express (about 1.500 in house made meals per year). Existing customers as Ryanair, Air Austral, Arkefly and Transavia renewed confidence to Newrest’s know how. These references will open doors for further development of the Dutch’s inflight portfolio. In order to minimise costs and to improve the productivity, Newrest in the Netherland implemented a new procedure concerning stock movement and control. Consolidation process takes place directly on the floor and production staff is fully responsible for the stock movement and control. Through two eyes principle the returned trolleys are being counted and refilled in the system at the same time. This new procedure eliminates two side steps in the total process and allows a better control of stock. Additionally, synergies between activities in the Netherlands and in Belgium took place on the Finance, IT, Commercial and Purchasing sectors. This will be further developed in 2015/16. On the quality and hygiene sector, the Dutch subsidiary obtained ISO 9001 and Halal certifications. Several clients’ audits took place with encouraging scores. For next year Newrest in the Netherlands has several ambitious projects as the construction of a new central unit for the Buy-on-Board and the Duty-Free operations, a common purchase project in synergy with Newrest in Belgium, and the introduction of new business sectors as for example a Buy-on-Board activity on international travel busses.

Managed turnover decrease in Portugal
In the inflight sector, turnover rose by 3%. No new contracts were signed, but various contracts were renewed, including the Lounge contract for the airport in Faro. Services for Iberia stopped in early October 2015 as the Spanish company now back-caters for its flights out of Madrid. Despite the rise in turnover, financial results for the year were negative in light of the many investments, reorganisations and restructurings undertaken within the subsidiary. The objective of these structural changes is to optimise our performance and increase productivity. Finally, the inflight sector received good news: an airport license for the Porto airport related to the construction of a new production unit. In the catering sector, business was stable, and the catering contract for the Faro airport was extended. Newrest in Portugal serves approximately 200 meals per day at the airport. In the rail sector, Newrest in Portugal currently manages two contracts for the local Comboios de Portugal rail company covering international and intercity trains. In 2014/15, performance for these two contracts was stable, with a slight increase in turnover as compared to the prior year (6%). Relations with the client improved considerably. As a result, at the end of the year, the Portuguese subsidiary was awarded a third contract for Comboios de Portugal for the Alfa Pendular high-speed trains. Operations started on 1 November 2015. This new contract will have a positive impact on our rail business and our production unit in Lisbon next year.

Managed turnover decrease in Spain
For Newrest in Spain, the past year was difficult and turnover dropped by 2,5%. The subsidiary was highly affected by political events in Eastern Europe: the crisis in Ukraine and the depreciation of the Russian rouble directly affected operations for Eastern European airlines, causing a 50% decline in flights to Barcelona, the most impacted unit in the Iberian peninsula.
In the Inflight sector, this drop in business was all the more harsh as a number of our medium-haul clients decided on back-catering for all of their flights to Spain. Our services for Air Berlin, Finnair, Air Algérie, Iberia Express and Novair were directly affected, especially at our units in the Canary Islands, but also throughout our production units. In addition, Newrest in Spain saw its Inflight market positioning shift due to competition from a number of new local operators. With the pressure rising, the Spanish subsidiary was forced to close down a number of operations, such as its services for Transaero, Pakistan Airways, Gambia Bird, Iberia, Hamburg Airways, Uzbekistan and Santa Barbara. Even in this tense environment, the subsidiary achieved many successes: Newrest in Spain acquired numerous new clients as well as contract renewals. Since this year, the Barcelona unit has been working for TAM Airlines, Korean Air and Royal Flight and this business should increase even further this coming year. The volume of flights per week of a few client companies such as Qatar Airways, Emirates, Air Europa and Norwegian increased, much to the Spanish subsidiary's benefit. However, this new business was not able to offset the loss in turnover in the inflight sector in general on the Iberian peninsula. The production unit in Madrid was awarded the “Best Caterer Europe” prize from our Qatar Airways client. Another major event: the first supply service for Emirates' A380 at the Madrid airport in August. In the catering sector, Newrest in Spain was highly successful in 2014/15: business in the Canary Islands increased by 10% and in the Balearic Islands by more than 50%, with two new contracts having been signed.

in public high schools for the government of the Balearic Islands and the Universitari Son Espases hospital. In 2014/15, the Spanish subsidiary continued its efforts to diversify its business. In the retail sector for maritime companies, after having signed a contact with Fred Olsen, the Group also extended its collaboration with Balearia in the Balearic islands. This orientation, which complies with the Group's diversification policy, must be extended even further next year, in particular targeting maritime companies but also private aviation.

Managed turnover increase in Switzerland
This year, business at Newrest Canonica, our Swiss joint venture, rose compared to the prior year: turnover in the inflight sector remained stable and turnover in catering increased slightly. In terms of the inflight business, Newrest Canonica saw a clear drop in revenue per passenger due to its main clients' (United Airlines, Etihad Airways, Etihad Regional and Saudia Airlines) new product orientations. Unlike catering for airlines, our unit in Geneva
saw its sales increase by 2.5% for business aviation catering. Despite a 10% decrease in business aviation traffic at the Geneva airport in 2015, many contracts were signed with private airlines, such as Presidential Flight, Qatar Executive and Jetex. In parallel, the Lounge business grew both with the One World Lounge, thanks to the arrival of Iberia in addition to British Airways, but also thanks to a new contract signed in August for the Air France/KLM and Dnata lounges. In terms of catering, Newrest Canonica signed new contracts, for example with ISO (provision of facility management and banqueting services) and SITA in June 2015. Finally, further to an invitation to tender, the joint venture was also awarded the management of the new cafeteria at the CERN (building 774), located in Prévessins, France, and the Natural History Museum restaurant in Geneva, which will open its doors in December 2015. The teams in our unit were reorganized in early 2015, which stabilized the quality of services and led to the deployment of additional means to conquer new markets, such as Lounges and Catering. In 2014/15, the unit completed its renewal of its highloader truck fleet. Next year, the entire utility vehicle fleet will also be renewed. Regarding Quality, Newrest Canonica in Switzerland successfully achieved ISO 9001, 22000 and 14001 certification. The joint venture is also committed to having its catering units certified through local quality accreditations, such as Fourchette Verte and GRTA. Furthermore, a project targeting a production kitchen dedicated to the delivery of food services, intended for the market outside of the airport, was
approved and will meet the rising requirements of our clients. This project will also allow us to see a greater impact on the new pre-order module on the joint venture's website, which was launched in the early part of the year: the new ecommerce section of www.newrest-canonica.eu allows clients to place orders on line for meal trays delivered directly to the workplace. This offer directly targets businesses who do not have cafeterias and who want to offer quality meals to their employees.

Managed turnover increase in the United Kingdom
The financial year 2014/15 was very successful for Newrest Servair in the United Kingdom: the joint venture, exclusively dedicated to inflight business, embarked on a growth strategy that increase turnover by 72% in one year. A total of 4 new operation units were opened in Birmingham, Bristol, Exeter and Edinburgh, an encouraging fact for potential clients. It wasn’t long before the joint venture felt the positive
effects of these openings: several new inflight contracts were signed during the financial year. Since July, Newrest Servair in the United Kingdom provides Buy-on-Board services for the British airline company Flybe at 14 airports all around the UK. This contract by itself now almost half of the joint venture’s turnover with more than 400 catered flights per week. In addition, another important success has been the signature of a new inflight contract with BMI Regional: since June, Newrest Servair has provided bar service, single-class sandwiches and extensive VIP services, serving about 400 meals per day. These new contracts considerably increased activities for our joint venture and represented a great challenge for the whole team. In terms of existing contracts, Newrest Servair has been serving British Airways City Flyer since 2009. Working closely with the airline and suppliers has revealed that the service quality level could be greatly improved for British Airways, especially by continuously seeking new solutions and new products to make the passenger experience even more enjoyable. After regularly analyzing passenger feedback and market competition, the joint venture decided to shift budget money and to focus on specific routes and times of day. This improved the passenger experience without increasing overall expenditure for the airline. Furthermore, the introduction of a concierge service allowing airline’s crew to optimize additional stock at any of the 14 British airports has generated a true win / win position for client’s airlines and Newrest Servair. Forecasts for next financial year remain very optimistic: the joint venture plans to further expand its network in the UK. Internal team development is a core concern of Newrest Servair and the joint venture will implement an internal development plan, without which growth and sustainable delivery of service to our existing customers would be impossible.

The North African Division saw growth in its turnover of 7,9% in 2014/15, for a financial result that rose by 20% compared to last year. This positive overall performance was not uniform across all of the region's countries but is due for the most part to the very good sales, operational and economic performance of one country: Morocco. The North African Division is growing and now includes eight countries: Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Guinea-Conakry, Liberia, Niger, Ghana and Nigeria. The sales of our subsidiary in the Cherifian realm represent 65% of the turnover for the zone and 91% of its financial result. In terms of catering, Newrest in Morocco once again confirmed its leadership position by signing many major contracts and by entering the penitentiary market segment. The retail concession business is also doing very well, as the Moroccan teams opened four points of sale in Casablanca's airport this year. Finally, the Moroccan subsidiary inaugurated a new inflight production unit in Casablanca - a modern structure with last-generation equipment that complies with international standards applicable in the sector. In Algeria, the Group's turnover doubled thanks to a number of new Remote site contracts (KCA Deutag, Petrofac and Lead) and Catering contracts (Lycée International Alexandre Dumas and the French embassy). Airport retail sales also rose by close to 20% in Algiers thanks to renovations in all of the points of sale and the introduction of new concepts. However, this significant growth was not reflected in the expected financial performance: the Algerian teams must still stabilise their operations for our clients and sustainably implement the Group's management processes and tools. Various appointments to the senior management of the subsidiary (Arezki Amir: Director General of the Remote site business; Bruno Heriché: Director General of all of the subsidiaries; Samia Louz: Secretary General) will consolidate our Algerian businesses and ensure an improvement in financial performance.
Introduction
In Tunisia, the geopolitical events and their impact on tourism obviously had a very negative effect on Newrest's business. Passenger travel in Tunisian airports dropped considerably during the year (-70% for Djerba and -35% for Tunis Carthage), leading to a mechanical contraction in turnover and the performance of the retail business in the country. Catering and Remote sites also felt the negative impact, with turnover declining by 15% and a financial result that is also behind prior years. These two businesses must improve their results in 2015/16. Despite Newrest's complete dedication to its historic partnership with Tunisair and its holdings in Tunisie Catering's capital, the Group decided to withdraw from Tunisie Catering's management and capital. As Tunisie Catering has not been paid for services rendered to its principal client Tunisair, it has been placed under receivership since March 2015. Despite this difficult state of affairs, the Group intends to remain present in the country in order to reinforce its relations with OACA and sustainably develop its business. In Nigeria, the Newrest Group increased its equity in the ASL inflight catering operator in the summer of 2015, adding two more sites to its African inflight network: one in Lagos and one in Abuja. For next year, the Nigerian subsidiary is also considering development in other business sectors such as Remote site management in the southern part of the country where major oil and gas operators are highly present. Finally, Newrest closed its subsidiary in Mauritania in February 2015 as the commercial environment stagnated and the local economy could no longer offer any opportunities for the Group's development. For the 2015/16 financial year, the region's objectives are well-defined: to maintain and consolidate the Group's positioning in Morocco, in particular with the launch of high-speed train lines; to effectively implement our management processes in Algeria, and to increase business in Tunisia, Guinea, Liberia, Ghana, Niger and Nigeria.

In 2014/15, Newrest confirmed its sustainable implantation in Algeria with significant development of all business. In order to control this growth, the management team was reinforced at headquarters and in the field. Trainers and operational managers contributed their skills to supervise local teams and thus improve quality of services.
Turnover for airport concession activity increased by 20%. All points of sale were renovated to better meet consumer needs by offering welcoming sitting areas and an extended range of products. The Algerian subsidiary managed two events in collaboration with the airport in Algers: Strawberry Weeks in April and “The Airport celebrates number 31” for yearend festivities. On these occasions, points of sale for Newrest in Algeria offered special menus and products. The corporate catering sector rose to the challenge in terms of development, by securing new contracts and boosting turnover by 50%. The Algerian subsidiary is now collaborating with players in education (Lycée International Alexandre Dumas since January 2015 and Petite Ecole d’Hydra since September 2015), but also in the administrative sector with the takeover of the French Embassy restaurant since July 2015. The portfolio of prospects appears optimistic in terms of business growth in Algeria. Where Remote sites are concerned, Newrest in Algeria experienced close to 300% growth by attracting top clients and strengthening operations already underway since the previous year. The subsidiary signed contracts with KCA-Deutag, LEAD, Petrofac, Tecnicas Reunidas, Groupement Touatgaz, CCC, Duro Felguera, Sinotharwa and Belectric, thus guaranteeing a presence over the entire south of Algeria. In addition to management, logistical means were implemented with the creation of a logistics base in Adrar, to complete the operational headquarters at Hassi-Messaoud. The range of services was also increased: catering, accommodation, overall maintenance of camps and treatment of domestic waste. The objective for 2016 is to stabilize current operations in order to continuously improve client satisfaction.

Managed turnover increase in Ghana
In 2014/15, Newrest in Ghana experienced a very turbulent year. The subsidiary, essentially dedicated to the inflight business and operating a production unit next to Accra’s international airport, suffered the consequences of the Ebola epidemic, as did several countries in Newrest’s Western African network. Inflight activities with local airlines were reduced due to the crisis. The Ghanaian subsidiary lost its client Gambia Bird Airlines, which had to suspend commercial operations as from December 2014 and was finally liquidated. Kenya Airways had to reduce the number of weekly flights to Accra, operating only half of scheduled flights and cancelling its routes to Sierra Leone and Liberia until March 2015. This fact contributed to the drop in Ghanaian turnover by 2% compared to the previous fiscal year. Nevertheless, Newrest in Ghana also had some good news in 2014/15: this fiscal year saw the increase of flight operations for South African Airways by 50%,
Looking ahead to 2015/16, Newrest in Ghana will strongly position itself to retain client trust. In order to expand its business to developing local activity (corporate restaurant management, food service, outdoor catering for Embassies and High Commissions among others) a new food production unit was constructed located less than 300 meters from Accra’s airport: operations will start at the end of 2015. In the inflight business, the Ghanaian subsidiary is optimistic for new contracts with other European airline companies like SN Brussels Airlines and KLM. Moreover, for the coming financial year, Newrest in Ghana plans to modernize and enlarge its high-loader fleet and to increase its raw-material purchase volume from the local market maintaining its primary objective of good quality products.

The year 2014/15 was intense for our joint venture in Guinea, CGA Newrest. The country's economy is unstable and is still suffering from the impact of the Ebola virus on the country. The epidemic, which reached its climax during the last half of 2014, continued in 2014/15 to the detriment of the local economy. In the Inflight sector, the joint venture had to face the direct consequences of this epidemic: most airlines landing at Conakry were obliged to considerably reduce or in fact halt their flights to the Guinean capital. The joint venture's inflight business was particularly affected by Asky's cancellation of flights, the end of Brussels Airlines' operations, the sharp drop in traffic on Air France flights and the indefinite postponement of the launch of Emirates' flights to Conakry's airport. This resulted in a drop in the country's inflight turnover of 60%, with the inflight business only representing 30% of the joint venture's turnover (as compared to 100% in the prior financial year).
responsible for the complete management of the French Army's remote site in the Guinean capital close to our production site at Conakry's airport. The site hosts the Army's healthcare services and the treatment centre for Ebola patients. CGA Newrest worked over an eight-month period, serving 77,000 meals to the military and patients. In addition to the catering services, the joint venture provided hotel, laundry, waste management and pest extermination services. The Ebola virus epidemic is still active today in the country. The partnership with the CGA company remains very bright, however, for the upcoming year: we hope to see a rapid end to the epidemic, which should allow for economic activities to recover and, more particularly, for CGA Newrest to gain new market share in the Inflight and Remote site sectors.

LIBERIA The year 2014/15 was a very difficult one for Newrest's Liberian subsidiary as business came to a complete halt in August 2014. After setting up its structure in Liberia in 2008, Newrest invested heavily in Monrovia: in 2013, a brand new inflight production unit was built close to the Roberts Field airport. Following the launch of activities at the end of 2013, the Ebola epidemic had a tremendous impact on the company, forcing airlines to considerably reduce or even suspend their flights to the Liberian capital. Newrest in Liberia was therefore obliged to cease operations in 2014 and they have not started up again as of today. Despite the official declaration indicating that the epidemic ended in Liberia in June 2015, hopes of recovery in airline traffic and airport business remain minimal. Today, only one airline, Kenya Airways, serves Monrovia.

In 2014/15, Newrest in Morocco experienced strong growth in terms of operational performance, finishing the financial year with managed turnover, 20% higher than the previous year. This growth is mainly thanks to the addition of major contracts for corporate catering, the opening of concessions at Mohammed V airport in Casablanca, and also a very positive season in airline catering. The results of the Moroccan joint venture are the fruit of teams’ operational effort. They were also optimized by mutualization and grouping of purchases. During the financial year, structuring projects were initiated and will continue to have a positive impact on Moroccan activity next year. In the airport concession sector, Newrest in Morocco developed points of sale at airports in Casablanca, Fez, and Rabat with franchises such as Paul, Café Illy, Médina and Mr. Brochette among others. In terms of corporate catering, the core of Newrest’s business in Morocco, new contracts were signed (e.g. CHU, Cheikh Khalifa hospital, University housing complexes, Ciments du Maroc and Attijariwafa). Moreover, the Moroccan joint venture invested over 14 million Moroccan dirhams into the Casablanca and Marrakech CHUs, equipping them with a modern meal-distribution system thanks to dual-temperature trolleys. Newrest in Morocco participated in the opening of the market in the penitentiary sector by managing 21 establishments scattered across the center and south of the Kingdom.

With loyalty-building work surpassing 97% of its contracts in bids and obtaining several new contracts, the joint venture’s corporate catering business is bringing in excellent results. A partnership was established with the Mohammedia Hotel School, and 12 graduates were recruited in order to train future managers in corporate catering techniques. Simultaneously, Newrest in Morocco entered to local airline catering market after the buyout of Atasa at the end of 2013, and with the construction of a Casablanca production unit. Inaugurated in spring 2015, this unit now serves 1,000 meals per day to approximately 30 clients, not only in the onboard catering sector, but also for private airlines. The upcoming year is promising in terms of projects: after building and fitting out the new headquarters, the Moroccan joint venture will open its own academy in 2015/16. It will be located at headquarters and equipped with a training restaurant so that employees can learn all the Group’s areas of trade. This focus on talent training should allow Newrest to maintain its strategic line in Morocco: sustain its position as leader on the market for corporate catering and airport concessions, while continuing its growth on airline and rail catering markets.
The year 2014/15 was eventful for Newrest in Niger. In a difficult economic environment and in light of lesser development of mining companies operating in the country, Niger's subsidiary saw a substantial drop in its business, leading to a decrease in turnover of 44%. Newrest in Niger is a subsidiary for which 80% of its turnover results from its Remote site business and it was significantly affected by the closure of the Imouraren site, a uranium mine managed by Areva, at the end of 2014. In the prior year, this contract alone accounted for 52% of the subsidiary's turnover. With the closure of this project, Newrest in Niger was obliged to implement an overall restructuring programme: Imouraren employees were relocated to other sites in the zone of Arlit, Cominak and Somaïr. Newrest in Niger continues to provide services to the two remote sites operated by other Areva Group subsidiaries and provides more than 400 meals per day.

Despite these difficulties, the entire local team used all of their expertise to face the challenge and initiate actions to develop business within the country. In 2015, the efforts were rewarded in the form of two new remote site and catering contracts. Newrest in Niger works for the Barchan Force of the French Army based in Arlit in their restaurant, serving more than 120 men. The second contract includes the management of the Orange company restaurant in Niamey and covers 40 meals per day.

With regard to retail, our two Daily Break points of sale located in highway service stations have been open for a year now. As the restaurants got off to a slow start, the subsidiary in Niger reviewed its range of products and sales prices to better adapt them to the local purchasing power and the culinary tastes of consumers. A “take-away” option will also be available by the end of the year. Since the complete redesign of the menu, Newrest in Niger has seen an increase in turnover of more than 90%. The Newrest Group remains very committed to its presence in Niger. In the coming year, the subsidiary in Niger intends not only to consolidate its existing commercial partnerships but also to develop other activities by proposing innovative and competitive catering and hotel solutions to economic operators.
ASL Nigeria, a public company in Nigeria, entered Newrest’s portfolio in August 2015. ASL provides airlines catering services in Lagos, Abuja and Kigali (Rwanda) as well as lounge services (Lagos & Abuja), retail and duty free outlets. Newrest has significantly strengthened its shareholding in ASL in 2015, and in agreement with the board, instituted a number of management changes for the company. Richard Akerele, previously CEO, has taken on the role of non-Executive Chairman, while Laurent Moussard was given the responsibility as country manager for Nigeria. Alain Masson has taken over the new position of General Secretary, assuming he responsibility for Finance, Administration, Legal and Human Resources. An entire task force, made up of almost a dozen Newrest staff was sent to Nigeria for 2 months in order to institute changes in processes, procedures, unit changes, HACCP audit, financial audit,

The process of change at ASL is still in early days, but management is convinced that Nigeria, country with the largest and growing population in Africa, offers major opportunities for growth and improvement in the future and our group will put major efforts into rightsizing the company and preparing it for a successful future.

Managed turnover decrease in Tunisia
In 2014/15, Tunisia faced many major events, especially involving security, which dashed the hopes of an immediate economic recovery and worsened tensions within society. In this difficult environment, the year was marked by a significant drop in the scope of business for Newrest in Tunisia, especially in Inflight and Retail.
In the Inflight sector, despite extreme efforts and the unshaken commitment of the Group, all of the inflight catering activities came to a complete halt. The airport retail business, for its part, was heavily affected by the drop in tourist travel of close to 70% in 2014/15. A pioneer in catering trades, Newrest in Tunisia continued to work on consolidating its historic presence in the country despite all odds and on strengthening its position in catering, Remote sites and retail. With regard to catering, which represents close to half of the subsidiary's turnover, Newrest in Tunisia limited the loss of business thanks in particular to the retention of its major clients, including British Gas, Total and the Etablissements d'Enseignement Français en Tunisie. The subsidiary was also able to add new clients to its portfolio: it manages a canteen of AMI Assurances and four sites for the private El Amen clinic, serving 750 meals per day. In the Remote site sector, the year was successful for Newrest in Tunisia: new onshore and offshore contracts for Rowan Drilling and ECC/TCC were signed, bringing our services up to 570 POB. The development of the supply business for a number of remote operators and the new contract with OMV Gaz Sud must allow the subsidiary to recover growth in the early part of next year. Regarding Quality and Hygiene, however, 2014/15 was particularly busy, with the renewal of the ISO 22000 certification for the Lycée PierreMendès-France and British Gas sites, but especially the new ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001 certifications.

In Central and Southern Africa, the Newrest Group underwent substantial changes in general organization, with restructuration reducing Divisions from three to two on the continent. This allowed Cameroon, Congo and Gabon to be attached to existing countries. In the Remote site business, the integration of those three countries and the start-up of Remote site activities in Angola created constructive synergies and savings for Newrest and also for clients. Our offshore clients, for example, can now move their equipment from one country to another, with continued service guaranteed, and without borders. In the inflight business, multiple airport projects will be initiated next year, resulting in the construction of several brand new terminals. Drawing from our extensive inflight network, as well as our longstanding experience in retail on the continent, we are today able to work in collaboration with airport authorities offering innovative projects and guaranteeing adequate integration of our assets. Developing catering activities in the division remains a strategic priority: although the South African catering market is mature and contracts are limited, Newrest challenges the competition by maximizing its assets.
Introduction
In Uganda our joint venture with UIS renewed our retail contract for the Entebbe airport. This also led to multiple catering contracts in the B&I sector with stakeholders of the airport. These new contracts validate our strategy based on activity diversification. In Angola, the signature of a major offshore Remote site contract in Soyo has been the opportunity to enlarge our ship supply activity and to propose significant activity coverage to clients and prospects in the country. A new sales team was contracted, and they brought expected dynamism and experience to new contracts. In Madagascar, the Group’s priority is intensive support for Ambatovy, our key local client, during these extremely difficult economic times. By doing so, Newrest has demonstrated its skill in working alongside clients, to reduce cost while maintaining a high quality of services. Recognition for dnata Newrest has shot up over the past year amongst airport stakeholders in South Africa. Carried by an ambitious action plan and a highly motivated partner company, the joint venture continues supporting historical customers, and plans to welcome new clients.
In Congo, the mobilization of four new offshore contracts in the space of two months, supporting more than 400 POB, demonstrated Newrest’s competence in the Remote site sector. All necessary means have been deployed, including a new logistic hub. During its restructuration, Newrest in Gabon, obtained a long-term contract with Total, off the coast of Port-Gentil. This is a guarantee of the Group’s continued presence in this country. The dynamism of our retail activity at the Libreville airport will be confirmed through the inauguration of a new Newrest-managed retail point.
In Zambia, Newrest is seeking new activities within Lusaka’s airport. Operations should increase over the next few years, thanks to the project for a new airport terminal, which will be operational in 2017.

Managed turnover decrease in Angola
For Newrest in Angola, 2014/15 was a transitional year. A number of new contracts were signed, which consolidated its solid positioning on the local catering market. The subsidiary, which is mainly devoted to management and catering for off-shore platforms and ship supply, also relies on its expertise to provide group catering services. In terms of the Remote site sector, the year was successful for Newrest in Angola, which saw its Ship Supply business grow considerably. The subsidiary increased operations by a factor of two on the Sonils site in Luanda and acquired new clients, such as Somoil, an Angolan oil company, as well as CGG. Newrest in Angola thereby considerably strengthened its presence in the country's different ports, in particular Soyo, but also Port Ambouin, Dande and
Lobito, to name a few. The management contract for the historic African Worker barge ended this year after operations ceased and it was demobilised. In the Remote site sector, 400 dedicated employees work for seven clients and serve 2,000 POB. In the group catering and hotel services sector, the year was not as bright: after five years of operations, the Angolan subsidiary lost its management contract with Total for the Chicala hotel. Nevertheless, the AFM contract for the Torre Atlantico company restaurant in Luanda was renewed in January 2015 and covers 600 meals per day. With regard to safety, Newrest's teams in Angola celebrated 12 consecutive accident-free months on a number of sites, a perfect illustration of the teams' commitment to occupational safety. This commitment undeniably contributes to improving the satisfaction of the Angolan subsidiary's clients, who know they can count on our dedication in every way. In view of the complex economic environment facing 2015/16, Newrest in Angola has started to work on innovative solutions to support its clients in their cost reduction processes. The diversification of activities, which had already started over recent years, will also be one of the central themes of this new year.

Despite the bearish economic climate in the oil sector, Newrest experienced a year of growth in 2014/15, with a rise of over 16% in turnover. Perenco renewed its trust in Newrest for management of all its offshore sites, particularly with the inauguration of the new Munja flotel in July, able to accommodate 200 people. Based on the Group’s policy for diversification of activity in every country of implantation, the Cameroonian subsidiary began business in corporate catering after winning the bid for the restaurant
at the training center for Eneo, the local national electricity producer and operator. Newrest provides catering services during the day, for 60 to 150 trainees per day. As part of this contract, the subsidiary also provides catering for the Zonals, an annual sporting event where all Eneo regional teams participate, or approximately 700 persons over one weekend. The year was also synonymous with stability and security for operations with the implementation of new processes. Moreover, the Cameroonian subsidiary increased its autonomy, thanks in particular to a drilling operation that allowed for complete independence of water needs and also offered scope for freely supplying water to local populations. As part of the kitchen training provided since the previous year, the Cameroonian subsidiary hired a pastry chef to train its offshore staff. About 20 employees benefitted from these cooking and pastry classes, with over 300 hours of training provided, equal to 15 hours of training per employee. Newrest in Cameroon plans to continue capitalizing on the human aspect of business, and has also implemented a mutual fund to cover the health expenses of its employees and their families. All teams in Cameroon are dedicated to Quality, and are working hard towards obtaining ISO 9001 certification, with the new version in October 2015. After its successful investments, and thanks to securing its operations, the subsidiary has positioned itself as a key player in Cameroon’s catering sector.

Managed turnover decrease in Congo-Brazzaville
In Congo, following the loss of the main ENI contract in July 2014, which alone represented over 60% of turnover, the 2014/15 financial year was a challenging one, between structural readjustment and business dynamism. The sudden, sharp and sustained drop in oil prices weakened sales even further, ending in the departure of the Triumph barge, owned by our offshore client SFG, in April 2015, followed by the termination of an onshore contract for Caroil in May 2015. For the Above: Bourbon's refueling ship Opposite: Hercules 260 Offshore activity in CongoBrazzaville ▶
same reasons, the Geoocean flotel, purchased by the Congolese subsidiary, which was scheduled to collaborate with one of the major companies (ENI or Total), experienced a major plunge in activity. As a consequence, the strategy of Newrest in Congo had to be refocused on improving competitiveness with optimized rates, management of structure fees, better responsiveness with partners and greater support from headquarters along all management levels. Thanks to this active support, particularly on the commercial front, the end of the financial year was marked by a solid rise in business for the Congolese subsidiary, with several new contracts. A contract was thus signed with Saipem for the TAD1 oil platform, an offshore rig with 100 POB for ENI. Moreover, operations began on the Hercules 260, an offshore drilling rig with 90 POB also for ENI. Their catering services had been managed by the Group’s Gabonese subsidiary until then. Newrest also signed a new test contract in Congo with Bourbon, for a refueling ship of 15 POB. This should lead to the management of 9 other such ships, and two larger vessels (100 POB for each one on average). Simultaneously, the Congolese subsidiary successfully completed an 8-week contract on the Halani 1, a flotel accommodating over 200 POB, chartered by Petro Services, for Total. Positive feedback has been received from all players involved. Should things continue in this vein, the upcoming year will allow the Congolese subsidiary to stabilize its activity thanks to proper execution of ongoing

Managed turnover decrease in Gabon
In Gabon, as with many other Newrest subsidiaries in Africa, the year 2014/15 was strongly marked by a drop in oil sector business. In eight months, Gabonese subsidiary experienced an important drop in turnover and the number of clients fell from ten to three.
In terms of Remote sites, which were particularly affected by the crisis, several contracts were terminated for various reasons: departure of barge from Gabon, termination of drilling after the drop in oil prices or contract lost to another company. Nonetheless, the Gabonese subsidiary was able to achieve a few exploits: after 6 months of fruitful collaboration on the Hercules 260 offshore drilling ring, which accommodates 90 POB for ENI, the ship continued its route towards Congolese waters. The Newrest Group thus shows that its expertise knows no limits, and offers its clients offshore catering solutions in various African countries. Moreover, Total renewed its trust in Newrest’s Gabon subsidiary with respect to its offshore facilities, particularly with the addition of the OTT01 flotel, with a foreseen capacity of 350 POB. The diversification of its Remote site activities was solicited by SEEG (Gabonese electricity provider) in order to manage its accommodation, catering and event services at its national training center, as well as its two remote sites for hydro electrical dams in Tchimbélé and Kinguélé. In the airport concession sector, business also dropped during the year, despite the successful renovation of Calao and Caffé Lindo outlets at the Libreville airport. Newrest in Gabon plants to carry out major managerial changes and implement an exchange of expertise with the North African Division, while applying management basics well-known in the zone. The three points of sale operated by the subsidiary will thus become a window for the Group’s expertise in terms of concessions in the South African zone. Where Health and Safety is concerned, the Gabonese subsidiary is proud to have obtained health approval from the AGASA (health agency for companies and organizations in the food sector) in September 2015.

Managed turnover increase in Madagascar
Present in Madagascar since 2006, Newrest significantly increased its business on the island in 2013 when the Remote site contract was launched with Ambatovy for a nickel and cobalt refining site. The subsidiary in Madagascar supplies approximatively 6,000 POB per day on three main sites for this client: two in Tamatave and one in Moramanga. Left: Meal preparation at Ambatovy Remote site – Madagascar ▶
The entire local team relies on its expertise to ensure the satisfaction of this client, in particular by supporting its efforts to reduce costs in light of the current drop in prices of raw materials. In the
second quarter of 2015, for example, when the nickel price hit the lowest level since the beginning of the mine construction in 2007, Ambatovy had to put part of its employees on technical leave and reduce the number of subcontractors working on the Tamatave site. Between April and June, Newrest in Madagascar had to terminate the contracts of close to 100 employees working on this site - 15% of its personnel - due directly to the drop in the number of meals served. This reduction impacted both local and expatriate workers. In this difficult work environment, the subsidiary in Madagascar doubled its efforts to offer Ambatovy's employees a living environment that is as pleasant as possible. Newrest's teams in Madagascar were, for example, involved in the organisation of site events. Throughout the year, the subsidiary organises festive events to brighten the various living areas on the sites: national day celebrations honouring Madagascar as well as other countries, Christmas concerts and shows, theme-based lunch and evening events, etc. From a sales perspective, Newrest in Madagascar also extended its client portfolio thanks to two new corporate catering contracts. The subsidiary is now working for its new client Sacimem in Antsirabe, serving close to 100 meals a day, and in Holcim in Tamatave, where it serves around 50. As part of its continuous improvement process for services, Newrest in Madagascar successfully passed the annual ISO 9001 certification examination. This result reflects the efforts of the teams in Madagascar to implement processes targeting maximum customer satisfaction. In parallel, new partnerships with the Institut Pasteur and the Royal Environmental Health Institute of Scotland respectively contribute to the approval of the quality of meals served, based on bacteriological tests, and to the training of Newrest's employees in Madagascar.

The year 2014/15 was a successful one for dnata Newrest in South Africa. The joint venture, which is for the most part dedicated to the inflight sector, saw its turnover increase by 8% as compared to last year. Dnata Newrest operates two production sites in Cape Town and Johannesburg, and offers inflight catering, VIP catering, lounge management and Duty Free on Board services to 18 clients. Opposite: Inflight VIP meal Above: dnata Newrest high loader catering client’s airplane – South Africa ▶
In terms of sales, 2014/15 was a success: relations with our clients improved considerably thanks to the implementation of monthly meetings. A new lounge contract for the Cape Town airport was signed: from February 2016, the joint venture will provide catering and hotel services, and a dedicated team of 18 individuals will serve more than 100 meals per day. For its part, inflight catering, despite two contracts having been lost (Singapore Airlines in Cape Town and Johannesburg, and Thai Airways in Johannesburg), saw its turnover rise thanks to an increase in business with a few existing clients: Emirates increased its flights from three to four per day to Johannesburg starting in October 2014. Air Namibia inaugurated a new service in March to Walvis Bay in Namibia to the tune of an additional four flights per day. And Malawian Airlines increased its weekly flights from seven to nine in August. Also, the joint venture is awaiting a number of answers to tenders, in particular from Air France KLM for both Johannesburg and Cape Town. In terms of Quality and Hygiene, the joint venture is in the last stage of the ISO 9001:22000 certification process and the certificate should be issued in December 2015. The HACCP documentation was significantly improved and a Medina audit was conducted. Dnata Newrest is awaiting the results and is confident about the results.
So 2014/15 was a year of stabilisation and consolidation in the joint venture's businesses: after the merger with dnata in 2013 and a rocky, difficult 2013/14, the future is bright for dnata Newrest.

Newrest Group experienced a constructive year in Tanzania, where it officially established its subsidiary amongst rich potential. After several projects in the airport concession sector, operations finally kicked off, integrating Remote site activities for Caroil. Newrest successfully established itself at the Mtwara site by managing the Rig C2 camp. Although this contract is for a short time, Newrest is confident that many other opportunities will come knocking in its various sectors of business.
2014/15 has been a successful year for our joint venture in Uganda with UIS (Uganda Inflight Services): the general turnover is on the rise and client satisfaction is high. Newrest UIS, which operates in the inflight, catering and retail sector, received various recommendation letters from important clients, which encouraged our local team even more. In the inflight business, existing contracts with KLM, Brussels Airlines, Qatar Airways, South African Airways and Flydubai were successfully renewed. Newrest UIS, whose inflight turnover represents 94% of its global turnover, is operating an inflight kitchen next to Entebee airport: the 2,300m2 sized unit produces 2,100 meals daily for 10 standard and private flights. Operations ceased for Ethiopian Airlines: a regional decision leads the airline company to back caterer their flights departing from Addis-Abeba, Ethiopia. This could be partially compensated by the launch of two new contracts in the inflight catering activity: British Airways has loaded its meals at Entebee airport since January 2015, with Newrest UIS

In the retail sector, the joint venture also had a very successful year: renovation of “Voyager Restaurant” was completed in September. The Newrest UIS team is very motivated to provide high quality services at this new and welcoming place: the fully refurbished restaurant is now ready to offer the best dining experience for the passengers and Airport employees. For Quality and Health, the Ugandan joint venture successfully renewed its ISO 22000:2005 certification in July and the Halal Certificate in August 2015. In addition, several major audits with successful scores were conducted by Qatar Airways, Rwandair, NSF on behalf of British Airways (Amber) and Medina on behalf of KLM. For 2015/16, Newrest UIS will work even harder on its network, specially monitoring all opportunities in the catering activity: the joint venture was awarded the contract of the Ugandan Civil Aviation for their staff canteen. The contract started on October 2015, Newrest UIS serving an average of 300 meals a day. Other final decisions for catering are expected soon: a bid for Monusco, a mission of the United Nations Organization, was submitted in February and we are still awaiting the answer to the bid.

Managed turnover increase in Zambia
Newrest in Zambia, which operates an inflight production unit based next to Lusaka’s international airport, is mainly dedicated to inflight business (including inflight catering and lounge management), which represents more than 96% of global turnover. The inflight unit spans 3,400m 2 and serves 5,000 meals per day for 6 customers. During the financial year 2014/15 all inflight contracts held by the Zambian subsidiary were renewed. Our clients Emirates and South African Airways renewed their contract for two more years, confirming their satisfaction with the services provided. The efforts put forth by the Zambian team were key in retaining these contracts and in considerably improving the financial situation of the subsidiary, which can now operate independently of the Newrest Group’s financial support. In July 2015, a contract was signed

with the Zambian airline Proflight: Newrest in Zambia is now catering an average of 20 flights a day for this local company. With this new contract the Lusaka’s inflight production unit has significantly increased its daily food production activities. The Newrest Group strategy requires activity diversification in each country of business. Our Zambian subsidiary started catering activity providing daily meals to the French School of Lusaka. Newrest in Zambia delivers daily lunches for students and teachers, and the contract has been renewed for the new school year 2015/16, a sign of client satisfaction.
After having renewed its major contracts, Newrest Zambia is now focusing on new challenges such as ISO 9001 certification (expected in December 2015), diversification of activities and renewal of production assets. To this end, new high-loader trucks are expected over the course of the year, and other investments toward facility improvement are being considered.

The year 2014/15 was a busy one for our Middle East, Asia and Oceania Division. Overall, the Group's positioning in the geographic zone gained strength. This region represents a source of significant growth for the Group but also faces tension in the oil, gas and mining sectors.
Alfursan lounge – Riyadh airport (RUH), Saudi Arabia
For these reasons, the Division was forced to oblige all of its subsidiaries to rigorously manage their activities and operations in order to achieve optimal productivity and competitiveness. In Oman, in a complex economic environment, Newrest Wacasco, our joint venture, stabilised its sales, in particular in the oil and gas sectors. A drastic cost reduction policy was launched and productivity improvement plans were implemented. These measures rapidly met with success: net income increased as compared to 2013/14. Thanks to its sales plan and the demonstration of its expertise, the joint venture saw contracts renewed and also signed new ones: Newrest Wacasco now works for clients such as Oman Refreshment Company, the French school in Muscat, Bauer and Galfar, to name a few. In the catering sector, Oman's joint venture implemented a “Healthy Living” programme, which was deployed on most of the sites it manages. This awareness campaign on balanced diets increased our clients' and consumers' satisfaction. In Qatar and Bahrain, 2014/15 was a key period for our Newrest Gulf joint venture. A number of new contracts were launched: Newrest Gulf serves its client QDVC, Vinci's local joint venture, thousands of meals per day and also signed a contract with the Ministry of the Interior for the management of the national command centre cafeteria. These new contracts illustrate the Qatari joint venture's expertise in terms of quality and QHSE. Next year, Newrest Gulf is counting on many ambitious projects and intends to achieve ISO 22000 certification.

In the Philippines, our joint venture with Supply Oilfield Services stabilised its business and turnover in 2014/15. The work of Newrest SOS's teams was particularly focused on the quality of services rendered and customer satisfaction. Newrest SOS also started working on a new contract for Technip this year. This year was an important one for the Middle East, Asia and Oceania Division with the startup of activities in New Caledonia. After awarding the contract for accommodation and catering services, Vale decided to entrust Newrest with the management of its nickel-cobalt production site “Usine du GrandSud” plant in New Caledonia. This plant covers 19 hectares. It produces 60,000 tonnes of nickel oxide and 4,500 of cobalt carbonate. Vale in New Caledonia employs 1,400 individuals directly and 2,800 through 70 subcontractors. This is a €4.3 billion project, one of the largest investments in France after the nuclear power plant in Flamanville in the Manche region and investments made in microelectronics by STMicroelectronics and various partners in Crolles, Isère. Since early November 2015, Newrest's team of 230 in New Caledonia provides all of the Remote site support and management services, including catering, accommodation, laundry, cleaning and maintenance. This new contract once again solidifies Newrest Group's positioning in the mining sector.

Newrest Gulf counts new customers such as Shell HSE Monitoring (Qatar) and the Minister of Interior of Qatar (Qatar) and provides catering services for NOH2 Orbital Highway construction project (Qatar), Qatar Rail LRT Underground Lusail project (Qatar) and Nabors drilling project (Bahrain). Several client satisfaction requirements were established, concluding encouraging results: in QDVC’s labor camp, a food tasting session was conducted every week with a panel of camp residents and has resulted in overall satisfaction (more than 78%) with Newrest Gulf’s catering. In the National Command Center, Minister of Interior, more than 80% of the cafeteria consumers have expressed their satisfaction on a daily basis through the electronic survey counter directly displayed in the dining hall. In Quality and Health matters, Newrest Gulf’s team has ensured that each of the delivered onsite services was properly aligned to the standard of HACCP and ISO 22000 not only through processes but also thanks to constant and regular staff training with
incentives for the best of them. ISO 9001 certificate has already been obtained. ISO 22000 certification is underway and will be obtained by early 2016. Fast-expanding, Newrest Gulf serves today a total of 15,000 daily meals and looks forward to double this figure by the end of 2016. To achieve this target, Newrest Gulf aims to initiate several key projects, such as the Police Training Institute of Qatar, the Head Office of the Internal Security Force of Qatar. Additionally, the joint venture plans to initiate first catering contracts in the education sector with Qatar Foundations Schools and will finalize Central Kitchen’s project able to serve more than 20,000 meals per day.

The Vale New Caledonia industrial complex has a surface area of 19 hectares and includes an open-air mine and an ore-processing plant. Production is rising steadily, and should reach 60,000 tons of nickel oxide and 4,500 tons of cobalt carbonate in the long term. To successfully complete these operations, Vale NC has a little over 3,000 employees, including 1,400 direct employees and 70 subcontractor companies. Newrest will provide services at the remote site and satellite structures for the Grand-Sud factory – a total of 1,000,000 meals and some 300,000 overnight stays per year.

The end of the year 2014/15 was cruicial and intense, for Newrest teams in Oceanica and for teams responsible for Remote site operations within the Group. After signing a new contract with Vale - which was already a client - the Newrest Group kicked off business in New Caledonia.
The Vale Group has thus decided to continue the collaboration already initiated with the Newrest group in the Sultanate of Oman, where close to 450 people have been served at the Sohar site’s restaurant since 2011. This new contract will allow the Newrest Group to continue its development in the overseas territories and establish itself in New Caledonia.

Finally, the joint venture continued its efforts in terms of internal and external training, as well as the promotion of omanisation. Thanks to these different actions, the joint venture in Oman continues to stand out from the competition both due to the quality of its services and its responsiveness. For the upcoming year, Newrest Wacasco is launching a major project to build a dedicated central kitchen and logistics centre, which will allow for new markets to be conquered while improving our competitiveness.

SACC in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia had an extremely challenging year but managed significant improvements in all aspects of its business processes. Most importantly, SACC has managed to diversify its business revenues, compensating for a slight decline in inflight revenues primarily driven by reductions from Saudia as well as cost improvement programs from our clients. Revenue in the Kingdom increased by 7.6% y-o-y principally by increases in non-airline activities. Key highlights in Human Resources were the nomination of Wajdy Al Ghabban as CEO, replacing Gerhard Marschitz, Martial Verine, as COO Support Services & Catering replacing Bruno Heriché, and Jaap Roest, as COO Inflight & CPU. In addition Mr. Sultan Al Booq was nominated to the new position as Genera Secretary for SACC. Major efforts were put into automation in production processes especially at the CPU in Riyadh. Automation of Costing & Invoicing processes linking it to
Saudia’s Air Vision Project was implemented during the year. Centralization of HR, Finance, Purchasing and IT was achieved and the total number of training programs conducted in the year reached almost 500. Finally the number of female employees was increased to 102, an almost 100% increase over prior year. The important contract with Saudia Airlines, covering inflight, menu planning, equipment management, inflight sales and lounges was renewed for a period of 5-years until 2020. A brand new laundry unit was inaugurated at King Abdullah Economic City (KAEC) with a capacity of 20 tons of laundry per day. In Medinah a new Al Fursan lounge was opened, as well as the construction of a brand new Inflight Catering unit, which shall be opened in January 2016. With an exciting breakthrough in the retail sector, six retail and duty free units were opened in Riyadh and Jeddah during the year. Finally a staff accommodation complex housing more than 1’500 employees was terminated and will be in operation as of early 2016.

Despite a sharp slowdown in the Americas Division for the mining market, the economic situation remained favorable, and the region’s revenue increased by 9,5%. Moreover, in spite of a consolidation of the Group’s activity fundamentals, allowing for better results than the previous year, the Division has not grown proportionately, and the overall economic state of affairs is still disappointing. In Bolivia, it was business as usual, despite a harsher mining economy. The Total contract in Incahuasi was postponed and is now scheduled for January 2016. The production unit at Santa Cruz, which has been serving Air Europa since late 2014, now also provides services to Starbucks and KFC and has obtained ISO 22000 certification. In Chile, Newrest Group kicked off Airline business by opening a production unit in Santiago and the end of 2014. Since the establishment of a joint venture with Servair, Newrest has been working for United Airlines, and has begun a VIP lounge contract with client Latam. In the Remote site sector, the upcoming year will be a pivotal one to finally win several contracts in a context where ore prices are forcing several of Chilean mines to close down. The Peruvian subsidiary continued its growth significantly by maintaining cost-optimization, thus providing a doorway for their accounts to get out of the red. Newrest in Peru obtained and maintained, in addition to Remote site contracts, numerous contracts in corporate catering and in the concession sector. The Lima production unit which opened in 2013, welcomed new clients this year such as Sky Airlines, Copa and Starbucks.

Moreover, in the concessions sector, Newrest in Costa Rica completed the first of three point-of-sale renovations, with a completely revamped sales offering. Newrest in French Polynesia experienced a tough year, although revenue was kept up. In the airport concession sector, the Polynesian team had to tackle the opening of the Atrium dining area at the Papetee airport, with more disappointing results. Another let-down was the closing of a retail point in Bora Bora because of low profitability. The Group must revisit its production plan in light of this bleak outlook, to offer the first price reductions to its clients in the long term and thus guarantee the subsidiary’s survival. In Canada, after opening a new production unit in Toronto, teams obtained a contract with Jazz Airlines, which boasts a volume of over 200 flights per day between the three Canadian airports. Air France / KLM broadened its network with the Newrest Servair joint venture, which now serves 4,000 meals per day for this client. Finally, the restructuring of Canadian teams allowed for a more long-term vision of business in the country, enabling teams to face the new year with buoyed spirits and a conquering mindset.

Financial year 2014/15 was one of transition and stabilization for Newrest in Bolivia, with an overhaul of all management procedures and an reorganization of the purchasing and logistics department. A much-needed clean-up and upgrade was completed for adverse contracts. Renewed contracts with YPFB Refinación and Minera Manquiri resumed with profitability, whilst our clients GTB and YPFB Transporte, in a state of deficit, exited the client portfolio of the Peruvian subsidiary. The difficult situation surrounding mineral ore and oil has created an overall drop in activity in the mining sector, and delays in the various oil and gas projects underway in Bolivia. The decrease in client's staff based on the San Cristobal and Manquiri mines has sharply affected the local turnover. Nonetheless, efforts in term of management procedures, purchases, operations and total payroll, have allowed for compensation and absorption of the impact of this cloudy economic climate, by improving profitability.
A new contract was signed with Total, for management of the Remote site for the Incahuasi project, a gas extraction site located in the Bolivian Andes. Unfortunately, the operations will only begin in February 2016, despite an initially-scheduled date of April 2015. Spie Capag extended its collaboration with our Bolivian subsidiary until next year, and wishes to continue even beyond this time frame. In the Bolivian corporate catering sector, Newrest began its partnership with Delosur in July 2015, a group which manages, among other brands, Starbucks and KFC. The development and brand awareness enjoyed by these franchises, as well as the high number of products that Newrest produces for them in Bolivia, clears the way for positive 2016 prospects. In the airline sector, numerous discussions with Boliviana de Aviación Airline will hopefully allowed us to enter the long-haul market (flights to Madrid and Miami).

In the Remote site sector, the Yacuiba project for client Cassobra came to an end in September 2015 after a fruitful collaboration. Newrest provided catering and maintenance services in Bolivia for 80 POB. ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 18001, and ISO 22000 certifications (Remote site sector) were renewed. ISO 22000 certification was obtained for the production unit close to the Viru Viru airport. Our Bolivian subsidiary’s QHSE department was successful in strengthening our position in terms of business prospects, an important issue on which the Group wishes to concentrate its efforts. The past financial year was therefore a period of competitive positioning on the market, and the upcoming year will be one of business development for Newrest in Bolivia.

The 2014/15 year was a productive one for our joint venture with Servair in Canada, since revenue shot up by 65%. This significant development is particularly due to our new production unit in Toronto, inaugurated in February 2015. Some 10 million dollars were invested to see the new kitchen to fruition, with two completely separate preparation spaces for Halal and non-Halal foods. Newrest Servair in Toronto can now provide up to 35,000 meals per day. In addition to the unit opening, the signing of two major airline catering contracts with Jazz Airlines and Air France / KLM is another high point. The three companies are now catered at our three bases in Canada: Toronto, Montreal and Calgary, now representing half of the country’s inflight revenue. A total of over 8,500 meals are served for 250 flights every day. Also in the airline catering sector, two bids were acquired: inflight catering for Aéromexico flights in Toronto and the renewal of the contract with Air Algérie at our Montreal base. No loss of contract was reported for Canada this year. Newrest Servair in Canada also enjoyed a fruitful year in terms of Quality and Health, obtaining ISO 9001 certification for the Montreal unit, and BRC certification for the Calgary unit. These certifications have particularly allowed us to maintain a high level

For the upcoming year, the Canadian joint venture will not rest on its laurels; several projects are already underway. The Newrest Group hopes to put all its expertise to use and develop Remote site activity, particularly in Northern Canada, and set up retail concessions in at least one of the three bases.

The Newrest Group’s Chilean subsidiary managed to bring improve on its performance in 2014/15, despite a particularly grim economic backdrop marked by a drop in raw material prices, which weighed heavily on the Chilean economy. This improvement was firstly possible thanks to various new and renewed contracts: for Remote sites, the prestigious Alma Observatory contract was renewed for a further two years. The remote site, located in the Atacama Desert next to the largest-known astronomical project, accommodates over a hundred scientists from all over the world, and truly puts Newrest’s expertise to the challenge in Chile. In the corporate catering sector, our Chilean subsidiary renewed all contracts coming to an end, and also won new contracts, for example the AES Gener project in Mejillones. This allowed the Group to strengthen its position in B&I in the Antofagasta region, in the north of the country. In the education sector, Newrest won the bid for the “Universidad Autónoma” (Autonomous University) in the very center of Santiago Chile.

In terms of airline business, the year was marked by the completion of works in the production unit in Santiago Chile, operated by the Newrest Servair joint venture. The contract began in December 2014 for United Airlines. In August, LAN Airlines also entrusted us with providing services for their new business lounge, the biggest in Latin America, at the Santiago airport. In just one year, Newrest was able to strengthen its inflight presence in the country, and thus become a credible player on this segment. Where Quality is concerned, we are currently obtaining ISO 9001 certification for both the production unit and the head office. This certification should become official during the month of November. Evidently, the efforts made towards QHSE paid off in terms of company image, and the success of the most recent client audits, especially for Alma, only highlight this. In addition to Quality, the Group’s

The year 2015 was a decisive one for Newrest in Costa Rica: in May, the Group recommenced activities through local company Casa Proveedora Phillips, which already had 68 years of experience. Casa Proveedora Philipps was active in the airline catering sectors (its main business) with two establishments (one unit in San José and another in Liberia), and at airport concessions. The bigger unit, in San José, spans over 3,000m2, producing an average of 5,500 meals daily, with a capacity of up to 9,000 meals. Newrest in Costa Rica has a large team to serve about fifty daily flights.

Costa Rican subsidiary invested one million euros to renovate the production unit. Works will probably be completed by late December. The second unit, based in the town of Liberia in the north-west, 200 kilometers from San José, has an available space of 250m2 to serve 600 meals on average per day on over 20 flights. Airport activity is highly seasonal since Liberia is mainly a tourist destination. Newrest in Costa Rica is currently studying a renovation project for the unit. In the airport concession sector, three points of sale were purchased, all located in the San José airport. A store called “Tienda de Malinche” located in arrivals in a public-access area; a restaurant “Malinche Restaurant” located in departures in the customs zone; and a cafeteria “Deli’ Malinche”, located in the public-access arrivals zone. Since acquiring Casa Proveedora Phillips, the Newrest Group put all of its retail expertise into completely revamping the existing “Malinche” concepts. Everything was entirely redone and improved, down to the décor. The Costa Rican subsidiary has already invested 250,000 € into rejuvenating the “Deli’ Malinche” and also plans to refurbish the other two points of sale next year. In terms of airline sector business, two new contracts were acquired for Air Alaska and TUI at the San José and Liberia bases. The beginning of operations was scheduled for early November, with 8 flights per week for air Alaska and one flight per week for TUI. In terms of Quality and Health, our activities, have been certified ISO 9001:2008 and ISO 14001, with the latter renewed in October 2015.

Despite this economic pitfall, Newrest in Mexico sprung back on its feet quickly and effectively, allowing it to pursue financial objectives while maintaining quality and hygienic standards. The subsidiary was able to optimize costs by restructuring its teams and integrating certain services internally, such as pastry services. Commercially speaking, the Newrest landed a contract with a new client in Mexico, the American company JetBlue, which runs an average of 160 flights per month. Moreover, several bids were completed during the 2014/15 financial year, for companies such as Air Berlin and British Airways. Newrest in Mexico is continuing its efforts in Quality and Health. Since obtaining ISO 9001:2008 certification in July 2004, the subsidiary constantly improved its QHSE standards, based on a strict policy led by the Group. These positive results were confirmed with the British Airways audit (93%). Moreover, client-related incidents have decreased significantly. Special meals were the main issue, and the subsidiary decided to train all the staff involved and to put a guide in place: the special meals manual (SPML).

Financial year 2014/15 was an opportunity for Newrest to reinforce its position in Peru. Within a tense economic climate, due to raw material prices, the subsidiary experienced turnover stabilization after two years of dynamic growth. Newrest noticeably improved profitability in Peru, proving that the management and restructuration efforts of the previous financial year were not in vain.

Airline catering showed a marked increase in turnover, more than doubling, thanks to the Copa Airlines and Sky Airlines contracts. The unit also developed a synergy with the B&I catering sector: Newrest in Peru produces a large number of sandwiches every day for Starbucks, sold at 140 outlets across the country. In the production unit, management efforts - combined with the business boost and the new contract for a line of buses (Transportes Cruz del Sur), beginning in November 2015 and offering over 3,000 meals a day - allowed the subsidiary to draw closer to breaking even, which should be accomplished by end 2015. Airline business has committed to ISO 9001, which should be completed end 2015, bearing in mind that the unit renewed its BASC certification and passed Starbucks’ extremely strict homologation audits with flying colors. In the Remote site sector, the loss of two unprofitable contracts and the significant reduction in staff for the Constancia project weighed on the turnover recorded. That being said, new contracts and the renewal of our main contracts allowed the Group to strengthen business and envisage new prospects built on solid foundations. Moreover, and in conformity with the Group’s strategy, Newrest in Peru rose to the challenge of diversification, since the subsidiary entered the market for oil and gas companies, with the Olympic contract in Piura and the Cepsa contract in the Peruvian Amazon.

Business among others. In terms of education, we also had successful business with the Universidad Catolica, Universidad Heredia Cayetano in Lima and the Universidad de Piura, and can now boast true legitimacy in this sector of activity. These developments strengthen our leading position on the B&I catering segment. In terms of retail, Caffé Lindo, located at Lima airport, experienced an excellent year for customer traffic, thanks to the increase in passengers using the Lima airport. The Peruvian subsidiary also acquired a cafeteria in the Cusco airport, operated under the Deli’ Malinche brand, which opened its doors at the end of September 2015. The continuation of expected growth on the airline catering sector as well as the dynamism occurring in Newrest’s other business sectors in Peru, allow the Group to envisage a 2015/16 financial year with a harmony of growth and performance.

Managed turnover increase in French Polynesia

Points of sale
Against a contrasting economic and social backdrop, the Newrest Group launched, in French Polynesia, several projects essential for its continued existence. The Group’s dynamic effort, motivated by our desire for growth, brought in the first results this year. Newrest’s turnover in French Polynesia experienced a contrasted year. On the one hand, some unprofitable activities were voluntarily ended or limited. On the other hand, economic tensions appeared in a difficult and restricted overall economic context, such as the financial difficulties encountered by several of our clients, and tensions created by issues of purchasing power for Polynesian families. In order to preserve our markets, the Group’s Polynesian subsidiary worked long and hard to improve its productivity on a clearly defined roadmap: industrial organizations were reworked, with a switch to cook and chill process for the central kitchen at Fa’aa, production organization was rationalized, with a transfer of hospital / clinic activity to the main Papara kitchen, units were secured and anti-shrinkage actions implemented, as well as management tools to improve day-today operational performance. This year also saw the creation of a centralized purchasing function to improve supplier performance, homogenization of menu plans per client type and the improvement of ordering and delivery procedures across all businesses. Moreover, in favor of implementing these new structures, the work organization of the production units were revisited as part of the restructuring, and a voluntary departure plan was put in place, in close and constructive collaboration with social partners. These performances, strengthened by massive improvements in cash collection with clients, allowed the Polynesian subsidiary to improve its operational profitability by 17%.

Commercially speaking, Newrest reinforced its main contracts and initiated processes with public markets and associations, particularly with the public service concession, in light of self-managed school cafeterias. Our Polynesian subsidiary also strengthened its quality process by requesting ISO 22000 certification for its two production centers (Fa’aa and Papara) and by forging ahead with several actions related to nutrition (particularly in schools, but also in collaboration with the State Directorate for Health). In this context, the Group highlighted its interventions and citizenship on the territory by implementing partnerships with educational organizations, for example their sponsorship of the University of French Polynesia and agreements with the Puna’auia Hotel School.
Finally, the Newrest Group Polynesian subsidiary reaffirmed its ambitions for the upcoming years by launching a new study on a new industrial production tool, synonymous with an investment of over 5M €. within the current economic context, this strong message was well received and appreciated by local public authorities, and will allow Newrest to build its future in a more serene manner in Polynesia.

A PA SSION FOR TA S TE At Newrest, meals are not just about eating. We make sure meals are delightful for the palate and a pleasant moment of sharing. G ROUP ∙ TA STING PA NEL (1 ) We have created a panel in all of our business sectors to taste the dishes we plan to offer our consumers. In partnership with our clients, these taste tests help us evaluate the organoleptic properties of our dishes so we can adapt them to demand. The frequency of these taste tests depends on the business sector: for example, for our Remote sites, each meal is systematically tasted by a Chef and the Newrest team before being offered to employees.
PERU ∙ G A STRONOM Y DAYS (3) On a number of Remote sites, Newrest's team in Peru launched the weekly “Gastronomy Days” concept. These events allow Remote site staff to discover exotic as well as local dishes. A specific decor enhances the premises on each of these Days.

HE ALTH Y NUTRITION Newrest establishes healthy meal plans in all of its locations in partnership with its clients. On group catering and Remote site premises, we have implemented a nutrition campaign called “Marcel & Linda” for adults and “Madeleine” for children. A poster campaign raises personnel's awareness on dietary balance, the importance of physical activity, the prevention of cardiovascular problems, etc. This communication often includes a nutritional assessment that is offered to consumers.

Newrest Wacasco's objective is to train as many people as possible to provide our employees and clients as well as the local population with healthy lifestyle rules. This campaign focuses on five key areas: choosing a sport, adopting a healthy diet, being more active, eating better and taking care of one's heart. These topics are addressed through activities and contests, with prizes awarded at the end.
PERU ∙ “ V IDA S A LUDA BLE” C A MPA IGN To fight pathologies caused by poor diets and lack of physical activity (diabetes, high blood pressure, obesity and cardiovascular diseases), Newrest in Peru has just launched the “Vida Saludable” (“healthy lifestyle”) campaign. This programme calls on nutritional experts who organise personal nutritional consulting, and includes training and “health and nutrition” awareness campaigns, as well as recreational and sports activities. It is already in place in 20 corporate canteens and will be extended to other sites next year. The Peruvian subsidiary offers all consumers a “light menu” composed of vegetable cream soups, salads, fish or white meat and a fruit.
G ROUP ∙ SUPPORTING OUR CLIENTS WITH THEIR HE A LTH ORIENTED A PPROACHES In most of the catering or Remote site canteens, an optional dietetic menu is offered.

Its objective is to ensure meals include the right amount of proteins and calcium. The subsidiary in Madagascar participates by making a monthly donation of food products. The programme's objective is to use the existing structure, design projects that support the daily well-being and health of the children, fight hunger and promote better education.
OP TIM A L QUA LIT Y A ND H YGIENE CONDITIONS The Newrest Group applies very strict hygiene and quality rules, which is required in a stringent, demanding and sensitive sector: Catering. Service quality is at the heart of employee concerns. Every day, they endeavour to satisfy the needs and requirements of our clients. Newrest has implemented a Quality Management System that includes very strict processes covering all of the stages of the preparation of a meal, from menu design to service. These processes apply to all of the Newrest Group teams. In fact, the objective of our Management System is to be integrated, which has allowed us to achieve other certifications when our clients so require for their markets.

Food product inventory is optimally managed, and the nutritional impact of each dish is described. Since its launch in 2012, this software has allowed for a significant optimisation of the food product inventory.

During invitation to tender processes, each country must receive a price quote from at least three different suppliers and the process must be deployed at least once per year for all the families of products purchased. Obviously, contracts are always drafted locally to ensure there is a legal tie between Newrest's entities and the suppliers.
