Atos Origin, an international IT services company, today announced its
results for the first half of 2010. Revenue was EUR 2,494 million, representing an organic variation
of -4.6 per cent in line with the full year expectations. Operating margin was EUR 150 million,
representing 6.0 per cent of revenue. This performance was achieved thanks to the continued rollout
of the TOP Program, in line with the three-year plan announced at the end of 2008.
Thierry Breton, Chairman and CEO of Atos Origin said: “In the first half of 2010, the Group succeeded
in raising its operating margin by 110 basis points compared to the first half of 2009, while limiting the
revenue variation to -4.6 per cent. These results allow the Group to confirm its annual guidance and
show that Atos Origin is on track to improve its operating margin by at least +250 basis points
between 2008 and 2011. In addition to the roll out of the TOP Program, in the first half of 2010 we
focussed our efforts on preparing the Group and particularly the sales force for a better economic
environment. In terms of innovation we launched new offerings in the areas of Smart Energy and Hi-
Tech Transactional Services (HTTS) including Smart Mobility services.”
