Message of the Chairman

Dear Shareholders,
The dynamic in the adoption of ESI Group's Virtual Prototyping solutions  was fully confirmed in 2015. This trend was amplified by the rise of the intelligent digital factory that is revolutionizing the innovation process and addressing the delays in product manufacturing. The buoyant development of high value-added innovative engineering studies confirms ESI’s global role as a major player in this transformation.
Our acquisition policy, in essential technological domains, has allowed us to expand the Group’s strategic positioning in the full manufacturing and performance value chain of industrial products. In 2015, profitability slightly increased despite acquisitions integration costs. Moreover our integral virtual prototyping offer is enriched with systems modeling that animates 3D components, continuous connection with the real world through to the Internet of Things (IoT), and machine learning towards integrated autonomous driving.
In the short term, combining sales growth and the deployment of expected synergies from newly-acquired solutions, we anticipate a further improvement in our economic performance by strengthening our strategic partnerships.”
