LISI 2012 FINANCIAL REPORT

Financial situation
Free Cash Flow is slightly negative (-€1.2 million) and reflects
the high level of investment of €11.6 million, which takes into
account €4.7m for the acquisition of buildings and land at
Neyron. The €6.9 million of equipment were mainly devoted to
LISI MEDICAL Orthopaedics (€6.1 million) for the establishment
of a knee and prototypes unit, and for robotic finishing means.
OUTLOOK
The recovery observed in January 2013 seems promising and
should be confirmed.
Stopping partial unemployment was decided in January 2013
for all sites thanks to the development of new projects, and in
particular with major customers in emerging markets.
LISI MEDICAL is today a coherent and consistent group with a
long-term industrial approach totally dedicated to the needs of
its major customers.
The year 2013 must prove the relevance of this approach in
this demanding market for the production of medical implants.
