performances achieved in 2010: "Séché Environnement boasted solid results in 2010,
showing a significant improvement on 2009, a year in which our business nevertheless proved
its resilience and our margins were driven to very high levels.
In 2010, all of our business lines returned to a strong growth track, posting extensive
commercial success which solidified our position as a highly innovative leader in
environmental management for local authorities and industrial clients. Boosted by its operating
performance, and despite sizeable one-off items, Séché Environnement's Group net income
once again rose sharply in 2010, in line with its activity.
In 2011, Séché Environnement will continue to expand by drawing on the solidity of its
regulated markets, the development of its recovery businesses and its commercial creativity to
offer local authorities and industrial clients more high value-added environmental and
sustainable development services."

Press Release of February 28, 2011
Robust operating performance, offsetting significant one-off expenses (7 .7 M)
With consolidated revenues up 10.0% to 4 02.1 milli on over the fiscal year, Séché
Environnement saw another rise in its operating income over 2010:
EBITDA (Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization) totaled
1 01.4 million , reflecting a 5.0% increase on 2009, i.e. 25.2% of revenue. This
increase can mainly be attributed to the contribution of organic growth, offsetting the
persistently negative mix effects (particularly in Haz. Waste) and a one-off tax expense
of 1 .3 million;
COI (Current Operating Income) gained 5.5% to 6 6.9 million, reaching 16.6% of
revenue. COI posted a slightly stronger improvement than EBITDA, on the back of
good CAPEX control, and taking account of a one-off expense related to the full
provisioning of operating disputes for 1 .4 million .
Excluding these one-off expense items, which had a total negative impact of
2 .7 million, COI would have been 6 9.6 million and current opera ting profitability
17.3% of revenue, a high level identical to that achieved in 2009.
Operating income dipped slightly on 2009 to 6 0.4 million (versus 6 3.5 million in
2009), due primarily to the application of the IFRS 3 (revised), reducing it by 5 million
(non-cash impact).
Sharp increase in net income: +10.0%, in line with the rise in revenue
Financial income climbed by a substantial 6 .9 million versus an increase of 2 .5 million in
2009. This performance reflects both the decline in the cost of financial debt and the Group's
continued fast deleveraging efforts. In 2010, the Group received a positive impact of
1 .2 million from the capitalization of interest ac crued and not paid on Hime convertible bonds.
After corporate tax (2 1.2 million versus 1 8.2 mil lion in 2009, i.e. a nominal corporate tax rate
of 31.5%, vs. 27.6% in 2009), net income from consolidated companies came out at
4 6.1 million, i.e. 11.5% of revenue.
The share of affiliated companies (- 19.2 million) showed a slight improvement, thanks in
large part to the lowering of Hime's losses, bringing Group net income to 2 7.4 million, up
10.0% on 2009.
Excluding the application of IFRS 3 as revised, Group net income would have been
3 0.5 million, i.e. +23% compared to last year.
Fast deleveraging and reinforced balance sheet
Operating cash flow picked up 40% to 6 6.0 million, primarily thanks to improved cash flow
(1 01.5 million versus 94.6 million in 2009), a po sitive change in WCR, lower taxes paid and
solid management of net capex (booked at 3 4 millio n, i.e. 8.4% of revenue).
Consolidated net debt fell steeply to 1 95 million , i.e. 0.53x shareholders' equity and 1.91x
EBITDA (vs. 2 45 million in 2009, i.e. 0.68x shareholders ' equity and 2.53x EBITDA).

Press Release of February 28, 2011
Positive outlook for 2011
Séché Environnement is expanding on the high value-added regulated waste treatment and
recovery markets.
In 2011, these markets will continue to be driven by European and national regulations, aimed
at stepping up the obligations of waste producers in terms of treatment and recovery. They
will, however, enjoy a more normalized economic environment on the back of the recovery
which took place in 2010.
Growth in the Hazardous Waste division will draw on the solidity of the Group's niche markets.
Vis-à-vis its industrial client base, Séché Environnement will continue to build up its offer of
outsourced waste management and environmental management services.
In Non Hazardous Waste, the Group will focus on developing forward-looking businesses
associated with waste recovery and green energy generation (biogas recovery, production of
alternative fuels, solar energy, etc.).
Séché Environnement is confident that 2011 will be a strong year for growth.
The Group has set a business growth target of about 7%, raising consolidated revenue to
nearly 4 30 million.
The new contracts won in 2010 will go a long way towards reaching this target (Strasbourg
incinerator, decontamination of La Gabarre site in Guadeloupe, etc.).
This target does not take into account the investments made for the Strasbourg contract that
will be rebilled to the city in accordance with IFRIC 12.
This level of business should lead Current Operating Income (COI) to another improvement,
reaching over 7 0 million in 2011.
Séché Environnement will continue to focus the expansion of its businesses on its new
markets and has earmarked capex of about 5 0 millio n in 2011, part of which will go to
renewable energies.
The Groups should be able to consolidate its financial solidity thanks to the robustness of its
activity and operating income.
