JCDecaux SA reported revenue results for the fourth quarter and full year 2012. Reported revenues for the fourth quarter increased by 4.3% to EUR 746.6 million compared to EUR 715.9 million in 2011. Excluding foreign exchange variations and change in perimeter effects, organic revenues were slightly positive, better than anticipated at the time of third quarter revenue release in November.

On a reported basis, 2012 revenues increased by 6.5% to EUR 2,622.8 million from EUR 2,463.0 million in 2011. Organic revenue growth of 1.5% was mainly driven by the strength of the Transport business in key markets especially Asia-Pacific, the Rest of the World, the UK and France. Street Furniture revenues were broadly flat in France and the UK, while most other European geographies showed continued weakness throughout the year and North America enjoyed good growth. Billboard was difficult in most of European markets. Core advertising revenues, excluding revenues relating to the sale, rental and maintenance of street furniture products grew 1.5% organically during 2012.
