The Group’s 2011 performance was shaped by a challenging economic environment in mature markets, especially southern Europe, and continued growth in emerging markets, particularly South America:
• the net loss from continuing operations – Group share came to
2,202 million euros;
• net income from discontinued operations amounted to
2,573 million euros, reflecting capital gains on the distribution of Dia shares and the sale of operations in Thailand;
• sales rose by 0.9% as reported, led by the emerging markets; • recurring operating income contracted by 19.2% to 2,182 million euros, mainly due to a decline in margins on operations in France
