Groupe Eurotunnel: Channel Tunnel Featured on a Stamp as Part of the Royal Mail “the Age of the Windsors” Commemorative Issue

Eurotunnel

Eurotunnel (Paris:GET) (LSE:GETS) is delighted that the Channel Tunnel has been recognised in a Royal Mail commemorative stamp set as part of the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee celebrations.

The “Kings and Queens” stamps series was introduced in 2008 and has since then explored 600 years of the British Monarchy. It now reaches a fitting conclusion with The House of Windsor set in the year of Her Majesty The Queen’s Diamond Jubilee.

The Channel Tunnel has been selected as one of only four stamps to commemorate important milestones during the reign of the House of Windsor which was issued yesterday, Thursday 2 February 2012.

The special commemorative Channel Tunnel stamp has a face value of Ł1.00 and celebrates the historic linking of our two nations in May 1994 when the Channel Tunnel first began operations.

Anglo-French partnership culminated in the outstanding engineering feat that is the Channel Tunnel. In nearly 18 years, Eurotunnel has carried 284 million people and 57 million vehicles through the Tunnel, the fastest, most frequent and most environmentally-friendly transport system across the Channel.

The other significant events during the reign of the House of Windsor commemorated in this special edition of just four stamps are Scott’s expedition to the South Pole in 1912, the Second World War and England winning the 1966 Football World Cup.

Jacques Gounon, Chairman and Chief Executive of Eurotunnel, stated, “It is a great honour for us to see the Channel Tunnel on a British Stamp. This is recognition of the magnificent feat of engineering that was the building of the Channel Tunnel and of the enormous impact the Tunnel has had on travel and trade for the United Kingdom over the past 18 years”.

Groupe Eurotunnel opens first privately funded training centre for the railway industry near Calais

Groupe Eurotunnel SA

Today, Thursday 2 February 2012, marks the official inauguration of the new Centre International de formation ferroviaire de la CĂ´te d’Opale (CIFFCO¹), at Coquelles in the Pas-de-Calais. CIFFCO is a Groupe Eurotunnel (Paris:GET) (LSE:GETS) subsidiary specialising in railway skills training. This is the first time that a privately owned transport group has provided a training centre for all European railway operators, infrastructure managers and their subcontractors which is capable of training technicians to work on the French national rail network and also those of other neighbouring countries.

CIFFCO, which is certificated by the Etablissement public de sĂ©curitĂ© ferroviaire (EPSF)² delivers programmes for 15 different railway jobs. The centre is open to students who have obtained basic level qualifications for ground working activities and to holders of driving diplomas. The course catalogue for CIFFCO is accessible at: www.ciffco.com.

CIFFCO, which has 20 employees, has been established from the experience and success gained at Eurotunnel over the past 18 years. It has a main building with a floor space of 1100m˛, 8 lecture rooms, including one for IT, a 135 seat auditorium and 8, state of the art, mobile simulators. The centre can accommodate several hundred trainees each year and up to a total of 10,000 training days.

The EPSF has recently conferred the training of its own French main-line driver examiners to CIFFCO and in future ALSTOM will also send the new drivers from its Centre d’essais ferroviaire (Railway trials centre) to the site.

Groupe Eurotunnel has made an initial investment of €3million to set up and equip CIFFCO.

Jacques Gounon, Chairman and Chief Executive of Group Eurotunnel stated: “The unique CIFFCO structure is equipped with the latest training tools and technology and has been designed to tackle the increasing demands of the railway sector. From its base in the Nord-Pas-de-Calais, it brings an additional strength to the region and its centre for railway excellence, in which Eurotunnel has always played a leading role. ”

Jacques Gounon, Chairman and Chief Executive of Groupe Eurotunnel SA (Paris:GET) (LSE:GETS), stated: “In a difficult economic context, Groupe Eurotunnel has had a very good year. Our commitment to rail freight is bearing fruit. The Group is well prepared to seize the opportunities which arise during 2012.”

â–ş REVENUE FOR THE FOURTH QUARTER 2011

The consolidated revenues for Groupe Eurotunnel for 2011 reached €844.8 million, an increase of 16% compared to 2010 (11% like for like).

A. Cross-Channel Fixed Link

The advantages of the Channel Tunnel, its reliability, its speed and respect for the environment are appreciated by its customers. Shuttle Services have seen strong growth, 10%, in revenue in 2011. The number of cars transported has continued to increase, reaching more than 2.2 million, a higher level than recorded in 2007, alongside more than 1.2 million trucks.

In just short of 18 years, 284 million people and 57 million vehicles have travelled through the Channel Tunnel.

³ Rail freight services by train operators (DB Schenker on behalf of BRB. the SNCF and its subsidiaries. and Europorte) using the Tunnel.

Eurotunnel Shuttles

• Truck Shuttles: Over the year, Freight Shuttle traffic experienced double figure growth, 16%, increased its market share substantially, 3.5%, to reach more than 38% for the full year, culminating at 45% during December. The cross-Channel market for trucks saw a further year of growth (estimated at +5%); the growth in Eurotunnel traffic which was well above the overall market should not hide the contraction in the cross-Channel market as a result of the economic crisis which is estimated at -12% compared to 2007.
• Le Shuttle (Passenger Shuttles): Eurotunnel car traffic has proven to be just as dynamic (+6%) even though the cross-Channel market contracted slightly in 2011. It should be noted that 2010 was marked by the paralysis of air traffic following the eruption of the Icelandic volcano, which prompted a major transfer of traffic to surface routes. Eurotunnel increased its market share by almost 3 points in 2011, with customers who were concerned about the control they have over their travel arrangements (storm delays, industrial action), choosing Le Shuttle as a reliable and cost effective alternative (when travelling with several passengers per vehicle, crossing with Le Shuttle can bring significant savings). The Tunnel has retained a strong competitive position and has shown growth above that of the ferries, underlining the strength of its model and the efficiency of its staff in adapting to sudden changes in demand. During each of the holiday periods, which are crucial moments for transport operators, Eurotunnel carried more cars than in 2010.

Overall, even though the economic crisis is not yet over and the competition remains fierce across the Channel, customer loyalty to the Eurotunnel service is clear. The high frequency of Shuttle departures, the speed of crossing, the punctuality and the minimal impact on the environment are what continue to attract business users and passengers to Eurotunnel. In the fourth quarter, the problems at SeaFrance added to the growth in both truck traffic, which increased by 13%, and car traffic (+12%).

Railway Network

• Passenger trains Eurostar: The growth apparent in the first half year slowed in the second. Eurostar continues to maintain its progress, despite a reduction in capacity provided (2 return trips less per week day, between London and Paris and London and Brussels, compared to 2009), and as a result carrying close to 9.7 million passengers, just short of the goal of 10 million. Exceptional to come, such as the Jubilee celebrations in June and the London Olympic Games in the summer, should enable new records to be reached in 2012.
• Train operators: rail freight services: For the first time in 7 years, the regeneration can be seen in concrete results with the launch of new intermodal services. The increase in the number of freight trains (+14%) and the increase in tonnage (+17%) prove that many companies, now convinced of its reliability and punctuality, are returning to cross-Channel rail freight. Rail freight is a mode of transport for the future, competitive and respectful of the environment.

B. Rail freight operators: Europorte and its subsidiaries

The rail freight subsidiaries have played a full part as a vector for growth. Europorte has seen a substantial increase in revenues (+26% like for like) as a result of the signature of new contracts and the maintenance of all the established Europorte France contracts. Industry has shown its confidence in the way the group is developing rail freight based on service quality, punctuality and satisfactory working conditions for the employees. To continue in this vein, Europorte has made significant investments in rolling stock and recruitment. The vitality of GB Railfreight, the third largest rail freight operator in the UK, and of Europorte Channel has been maintained, with GB Railfreight establishing new links to Italy and Europorte Channel lines to Spain for the refrigerated transport of fruit and vegetables.

¹ All comparisons with 2010 are made at a constant exchange rate of Ł1=€1.148

² Like for like, taking account of GBRF revenues for the period from January to May 2010 (before it was acquired by Groupe Eurotunnel on 28 May 2010), the growth in consolidated revenues for the group is 11%.

³ The like for like growth in Europorte revenues is 26%.
