PRESS RELEASE

Sales revenue in the first quarter of 2010 was €348m (up 42%): business in the first quarter benefited from a harsh winter, favouring LPG volumes, and solid demand in logistics and storage.

Overall business volumes for the period rose by 12%, spread evenly accross both Group divisions: – Distribution in Europe gained from the harsh winter (France climatic index: +2.6%) and the rapid expansion of LPG automotive fuel in France and Germany (+40%). Against a backdrop of strong increases in international propane prices (up 60%, compared to the low-level reached during Q1-2009), unit margins held up particularly well (-10%) thanks to good management of commercial segments.

– Rubis Terminal enjoyed an excellent start to the financial year (revenues up 12%), benefitting from a strong stream of imports of petroleum products linked to restructuring in the refining sector. It continued work to expand the Rotterdam site and construction of the Antwerp terminal.
