Maintaining a solid financial structure

View of the AREVA Tower at night, La Défense

The strength of our economic model and the strong profile of our markets enabled us to register further growth in our 2008 revenues. The group policy is to maintain a solid financial structure, profitability and high cash-flow. The following guidelines are intended for the implementation of AREVA’s development strategy.

A robust balance sheet necessary for the proper performance of the group's activities

A solid financial structure is a sign of security for the group's customers. This enables the group to enter into major contracts, especially in connection with new reactor sales, and the funding of its future investments.

Provisions for guaranteeing end-of-cycle activities

AREVA has set up provisions for its end-of-cycle liabilities and created a dedicated financial portfolio to cover all of its estimated end-of-cycle expenses.

A special committee of the Supervisory Board monitors the dedicated asset portfolio and our coverage of future expenses. This committee passes the forecast amounts and the methods used in order to ensure the security and the durability of the financial portfolio.

A solid balance sheet to guide the implementation of AREVA’s development strategy

Maintaining strong and recurring operating cash flow allows the group to fund its capital expenditures and create value for its shareholders.

Sustainable development

50,000 employees are aware of the economic, environmental and social impact of their activities and are constantly working towards continuous improvement.

Financial situation

Over the last several years the AREVA group has demonstrated its capacity for aggressive and profitable growth.
