SUCCESS BEYOND NUMBERS‘‘
‘‘
Annual report time is an opportunity not only to look back but also to look forward and see how
the past year achievements will prepare us to reach our future goals.
Naturally, the fi rst thing we look at is the numbers.
Figures for 2014, the fi rst year of our Ambition 2020 strategic plan, are particularly promising for
PSB INDUSTRIES. With revenues of €262 million and high operational profi tability (EBIT of €22.7
million), we can confi rm our solid cash fl ow and are improving our ROCE. Also noteworthy were
the record number of new products introduced for major customers and the sharp decline in lost
time accidents.
Beyond the numbers, our focus is fi rst and foremost on our people.
It’s about the women and men behind concrete efforts in the areas of innovation, marketing,
safety, procurement and industrial excellence programs, the real keys to profi table growth.
It’s about the women and men who have joined us or sought training to develop cross-company
programs that leverage our synergies and capitalize on the strengths and values of our Group.
It’s about the people on the Board of Directors and Executive Committee who chart the course of
our Group through strong governance.
To all of them, I express my gratitude and renewed full trust.
I would also like to thank all our customers and the partners who support us in our day-to-day
operations.
Together in 2015, we will build on our progress and write the next chapters of our story as we roll
out the Ambition 2020 strategic plan.
As we declared when we unveiled our new visual identity -industrial imagination- at the
anniversary celebration of our business units and PSB INDUSTRIES as a whole last October, the
story has just begun…

A SOLID FINANCIAL STRUCTURE‘‘
‘‘
KEYFIgURES
PSB INDUSTRIES achieved sustained growth in 2014, with revenues of €262 million (€257.5 million at constant exchange rates and perimeter). Despite the complex economic climate in our four main markets, dynamic marketing efforts allowed the group to maintain stable operations.
In 2014, PSB INDUSTRIES rolled out numerous initiatives to bolster operational profitability, both in terms of commercial policy and cost management. The operating margin (EBIT) for 2014 was 8.7% (or €22.7 million), up 8.1% over 2013.
With a strong EBITDA* level of €40 million (up €2 million over 2013), the group demonstrated its capacity to generate a significant level of operating cash flow, posting €31.8 million in 2014.
PSB INDUSTRIES’ already solid financial structure was further bolstered in 2014 by a net debt of €69 million, including debt associated with the acquisition of the C+N group, and €109 million in shareholder equity. By boosting operational profitability and using strict debt management, PSB INDUSTRIES improved its ROCE to 9.1% in 2014 (9.3% at constant perimeter).
Given these positive results, the Group proposed that the annual general meeting authorize a dividend of €1.60/share, an 18% increase over 2013. This distribution level allows the Group to consolidate shareholder equity in support of its future growth.
PSB INDUSTRIES’ efforts over the course of 2014 to align its financing structure with the Ambition 2020 plan culminated in February 2015 with the signature of a €100 million syndicated loan (with a minimum maturity of 5 years) to round out existing medium-term financing.
Priorities for 2015 will be the integration of the C+N Group, proceeding with the 2020 Ambition plan and structuring PSB INDUSTRIES.

A YEAR BEYOND OUR EXPECTATIONS
>
innOVaTiOn dRiVinG deVeLOPmenT
In these challenging times – marked by sapphire’s «industrial adventure» in smartphones, the downturn in historic markets, and sluggish new market development – we have stayed the course in terms of industrial rationaliza-tion (methods, purchasing, process optimization) and continued our R&D efforts (co-development with customers, process consolidation, new pro-duct studies).
We completed the fi rst phase of our efforts to strengthen our R&D and marketing resources by recruiting two market managers whose primary mission will be to advise us on our short-, medium-, and long-term strategic choices (segmentation, market understanding, investments).
2015-2016
Our main challenge for the next two years will be the launch of the four high-priority projects set out in our 2020 ambition plan (Sap-phire, Batteries, Thermal Additives, and Transparent Ceramics). The goal of these projects is to offset declining markets (e.g., conventional lighting) in the medium term, while fostering recurring development in our niche mar-kets (CMP, polishes, ceramics, and composites).
COnSOLidaTed ReSULTS
The year 2014 ended with revenues slightly up and consolidated income markedly improved over 2013, thanks in particular to actions taken to re-duce fi xed and variable costs.
In terms of business activity, we gained signifi cant ground with the sapphire market for smartphones, offsetting the lackluster growth in our historic markets of fl uorescent lighting and watches.
Our other historic markets (HID lamps, CMP semiconductors, tech-nical ceramics, and polishing) are holding steady or experiencing slight growth, buoyed by the confidence of customers such as Air Products, Osram, Ceramtec, and others.
In new markets, we are seeing notable growth in the YAG field for high-power LEDs, whereas the lithium battery market, which is stable in terms of volume, is suffering from price erosion accentuated by the weak Japanese yen. Transparent ceramics are still garnering intensive interest, which Baikowski intends to leverage in the coming years through industrial and business applications.

ENHANCED PROFITABILITY FOR REwARDINg gROwTH
>
CGL Pack operations confi rmed its recovery in 2014. Our strategic plan, coupled with the specifi c actions targeting our product mix, yielded very encouraging results.
Revenues stabilized at around €48.5 million, gaining back over €2 million, much of it in the Food industry, our main market. Notable in 2014 was the strong growth with historic customers like Mix’Buffet and Bigard, and the rise of new key accounts, such as Groupe Agrial. However, the Healthcare market, where CGL Pack has built extensive expertise in recent years, remained rather quiet compared to 2013. This was mainly due to the impact of our customer Becton Dickinson’s sales, which were down markedly in the second half of 2014. Nonetheless, all of the contracts binding us to these key accounts were renewed without hesitation. As for our activities in the Non-food Distribution market, we saw a fairly signifi cant drop over 2013. A few major customers in this market experienced fl agging sales due to the dismal DIY and Non-food Distribution markets.
Our profi tability improved notably and is fi rmly in line with objectives, thanks to a number of factors:
> Discontinuation of products with no added value> New business > Partially favorable material prices> Structural and operating costs control > Industrial productivity increase> Higher prices for several products
2014 was also a year of business development. Thanks to the hard work of our teams, we established a new record for potential business opportuni-ties-some of which have already yielded results.
For 2015, we anticipate a return to growth, particularly in the Food and Healthcare markets. Developments from the previous year will contribute to profi table growth throughout 2015. Next year’s challenges center on our strategic objectives:
Diversify our technology offerings (injection, printing, etc.) Develop specifi c products for the food professions and food industry customers Boost our Healthcare market positioning by acquiring new customers

We qualifi ed our Annecy facility with an ISO 7-certifi ed cleanroom and automa-ted line outputs. We also resumed upgrading work at our Lorient facility to serve our Food Industry customers even better. Innovation continues to drive us, and in 2014, we created «Innov’Pack», a multi-competence team tasked with analyzing the challenges our customers face and implementing packaging solu-tions and concepts such as Clipseal®.
None of this would be possible without the commitment of our workforce, who we provide with regular training (we trained and certifi ed thermoforming setters through a Professional Qualifi cation Certifi cate [PQC] program in 2014). We also stepped up our on-site oc-cupational health and safety efforts, considerably reducing the number of lost time accidents in 2014.

GROWTH and innOVaTiOn, a WinninG COmBinaTiOn
Since its founding in 2013, Texen Lab has sparked the curiosity of current and prospective customers with deve-lopments like the overmolding of fa-bric on Surlyn®, decoration (diffractive effect) and anti-counterfeiting using surface nanostructuring, 3D digital printing, and other ideas. After the many lab visits organized in recent months, Texen Lab activities are picking up pace. To better assist its customers, the lab has partnered with Materiautech® (Allizé Plasturgie), which works to promote the plastics industry and innovative businesses.
Current business forecasts are positive for 2015, with a mix of organic and external growth, particularly in Asia. Much of the year will be dedicated to in-depth structural work to help inte-grate the teams that recently joined us and to fulfi ll our customers’ needs in new geographic areas.
neW SKiLL, STROnGeR TeamS
2014 saw the acquisition of C+N Packaging (€20 million in revenues - 250 employees - 2 sites in the U.S. and 1 in Poland), a group specialized in injection molding and surface treatments (high-end varnishing, lacquering, and metalliza-tion). This acquisition will allow Texen to strengthen its customer portfolio, par-ticularly in the Beauty & Perfume markets (Avon, Elizabeth Arden, Estée Lauder, and Shiseido) and acquire several positions on the Spirits market. This «human-scale» acquisition is in line with our Group’s values and, given C+N Packaging’s technological and geographic position, is a perfect fi t. The acquisition will open up new opportunities for us in the U.S. and Eastern European markets.Faced with these changes, Texen’s teams have grown, particularly with the arrival in 2014 of a new HRD, as well as a new Financial Director and a Technical Director. From a sales and development perspective, we doubled the number of employees of these teams in one year in order to respond to new customer developments.
This situation masks some major contrasts:
On the one hand, the Luxury market grew strongly, posting a 10% increase. On the other hand, the «masstige» market was down 7%, in Mexico and the United States in particular. This decline has been offset by major new develop-ments, such as Dior’s rechargeable serum, Hermès’s perfume cap, the Roberto Cavalli bottle cap, Coty’s Rimmel mascara, and many other prestigious launches.

All facilities are ISO9001-certified (quality standard). PSB INDUSTRIES intends to extend OHSaS 18001 (occupational health and safety standard) and iSO14001 (environmental standard) certification to all of its facilities in the coming years.
PSB INDUSTRIES continued to enhance its governance in 2014 by drawing on the corporate governance code for listed companies (AFEP-MEDEF). The company partially renewed its Board of Directors at the May 27, 2014 General Assembly by appointing four independent direc-tors, with respect to the principle of diversity in governance. The Board of Directors can now access new competencies to round out those of the representatives of historic family shareholders, who remain very involved and continue to provide strong support to the company.In 2014, the Board of Directors conducted a comparative study on go-vernance practices, assessed its ability to meet shareholders’ expecta-tions, and adopted internal regulations setting out operating rules and procedures for itself and for its specialized committees:- Strategic Committee,- Audit Committee- Compensation Committee
These committees complement the cross-company working groups within the organization by facilitating and enhancing the Board of Directors’ work and decisions, enabling us to envision the future of the Group with serenity.

and lead cross-company projects.
The focus for 2014 was on profes-
sional (key Account Management,
Purchasing), language and manage-
ment (employee development,
proximity management) trainings.
The Group, with its workforce of
roughly 1,600 people, is continuous-
ly growing. We must develop and
recruit new talents, both in France
and internationally.
In 2014, we recruited 174 new
people. We also encourage internal
mobility to foster the sharing of
knowledge and culture. Appren-
ticeship, a real opportunity for
young people to gain real on-the-
job experience, continue to grow
and must be expanded further.
Continuous improvement hinges
on our performance both as indivi-
duals and a group. In annual re-
views with their supervisors, all
employees must get feedback on
the quality of their work and how
they can progress.
Fostering skill development
also allows us to anticipate the
future.
Skills planning initiatives and rela-
ted tools, like those we have in
place in the Specialty Chemicals
business unit, need to be enhanced
to align employee career paths
with company needs and strategy.
The dialogue we have with our staff
is a source of wealth and new ideas.
This entrepreneurial spirit is part of
the Group’s DNA and we must pre-
serve it while opening ourselves up
to new environments around the
world.
On-site breakfasts
In addition to conventional communication platforms (newsletters, communication from managers, etc.), discussion breakfasts were held with PSB Management in 2014 and will continue in 2015. C+N employees, who recently joined the Beauty Packaging business unit, appreciated this open and direct type of communication with their «new family».
Corporate Games: A friendly competition and some great results
For the second year running, the Group took part in the Corporate Games multisport challenge in Annecy. Six medals were awarded to the Group’s members at this fun event designed to boost the all-important feeling of team spirit that brings us all together!
Safety, an imperative for all
Our safety indicators improved in 2014, but there is always more to be done. That is why we’re continuing our campaign and promoting safe
behaviors by and for all.
