• Euronext's Index Steering Committee, which meets four times a year to validate the list of 40 stocks making up the CAC40, has decided today to include Thales in the benchmark French stock market index.
• Thales will be included in the CAC40 from June 21st 2019 after market closing.
• The inclusion of Thales in the CAC40 reflects the substantial increase in the company's market capitalisation, which stood at €21.7 bn at 31 December 2018 compared with €9.6 bn at 31 December 2013 (an increase of 126% in five years). This increase was driven by improved earnings: EBIT increased by 67% over the same period, from €1.0 bn in 2013 to €1.7 bn in 2018, and is expected to reach close to €2 bn in 2019.
• Euronext's decision is an endorsement of unflagging efforts by the company's staff to continuously improve operational performance while innovating on a permanent basis.

• Solid order intake: €2.3 billion, up 4% excluding impact of OneSKY jumbo order in Australia, worth €855m (down 25% on a reported basis)
• Sales: €3.4 billion, down 2.0% on an organic basis (down 1.5% on a reported basis)
• All financial objectives confirmed
