As at the end of September, the ERAMET Group is in line with its goals:
- 140 ME cost reduction on a full-year basis, excluding mechanical decreases resulting from lower activity,
- Capital expenditure limited to 336 ME for the ERAMET Group in 2009.
The ERAMET Group is able to forecast current operating income around breakeven point for the 2nd half of 2009.
