BUSINESS

For the equivalent scope, business in the first quarter has been a tale of
contrasts: January was very dynamic, February and March rather morose.
Thermador International's turnover increased by 19.7%, while that achieved in
France by our biggest subsidiaries was similar to 2017. Consolidated organic
growth came out at 3.2% with exactly the same number of business days. Despite
this, we are satisfied with what is a better level than the first quarter of
2017 when we reported exceptional growth of 13.7%.

This moderate performance has been achieved in a distinctly inflationist
context, caused by an increase in raw material prices and also by
under-capacities in production for certain industrial valve products
manufactured in China. Local authorities have introduced very radical
anti-pollution measures which have resulted in a large number of factory
closures.

During this first quarter, subsidiaries acquired in 2017 contributed to Ä11.6m
which enabled us to achieve a global growth of more than 20%. We are, of
course, highly committed to making a success of their integration.

PROSPECTS

The halt in growth observed over the past two months means that we are more
cautious. However, we are very confident with an improving economic climate.

EXTRAORDINARY AND ORDINARY GENERAL MEETING OF APRIL 9

Our AGM was held in Lyon on April 9, 2018. It brought together 192 people,
including 152 voters representing 69.7% of voting rights, compared to 63.7% in
2017. We thank you for your enthusiastic involvement and note with satisfaction
that more use is being made of the Votaccess platform. Indeed, 627 shareholders
voted remotely.

On April 11, we received around 130 shareholders at Salons Hoche in Paris. At
the AGM, all the resolutions were adopted on the basis of majority voting.

The texts of those resolutions can be found in the 2017 annual report on pages
114-116 as well as on our website.

Also, a dividend of EUR3.40 will be detached on April 23 and will be payable on
April 25, 2018. On May 9, 2018, the nominal value of each share will be divided
by 2.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Warm thanks were made to Hervé Le Guillerm, whose mandate as board member came
to an end. For two years, he has shared his experience in the valve field with
remarkable assiduity and commitment. His replacement, Christophe Arquillière,
was appointed to the Board for a two-year term. His biography can be viewed on
our website in the 'Board of Directors' section.

The board member mandates of Guy Vincent and Guillaume Robin were renewed for a
4-year term. On April 10, the Board renewed Guillaume Robin's function as
Chairman & CEO of Thermador Groupe.
