Frederic Rose, Chief Executive Officer of Technicolor, stated:

"This  quarter puts us well on track  to deliver our 2013 EBITDA, free cash flow
and net debt objectives. As we continue to deliver solid operational results, we
remain  focused  on  strengthening  our  core  competencies  and seeking out new
opportunities  in next generation video and audio technologies. In parallel, our
Connected  Home  and  Entertainment  Services  activities  continued to generate
profitable  growth  and  gain  market  share,  while  our  Licensing  activities
delivered another robust performance."






Q3 2013 revenue highlights

  * Technology: another quarter of revenues well above €100 million,
    highlighting the strength of the Licensing division.
  * Entertainment Services: sustained performance in Digital Creative Services,
    particularly in VFX, with strong double-digit growth, offset by slightly
    lower DVD Services revenues.
  * Connected Home: sixth straight quarter of double-digit year-on-year growth,
    driven by very strong volume growth and improved product mix in North
    America, and double-digit revenue growth in EMEA.



Financial structure update

 ·         Senior   gross   debt  at  the  end  of  September  2013 amounted  to
€1,083 million  at nominal value, a decrease of €100 million compared to the end
of   June  2013, reflecting  €67 million  of  debt  repayment  as  part  of  the
refinancing, €10 million of normal senior debt repayment and a positive currency
impact  of €23 million, as a result of  the depreciation of the US dollar versus
the  euro. The Group's cash position declined due to the cash-out related to the
refinancing.



2013 objectives confirmed

·       Growth of adjusted EBITDA between 5% to 10% compared to FY 2012 adjusted
EBITDA at constant scope[3] (€498 million).

·        Strong growth in Free Cash Flow, above 30%, before one-off payments for
legacy litigation (in particular the EU antitrust fine for €38.6 million).

·        Net debt (at nominal value) to  adjusted EBITDA ratio below 1.6x at the
end of December 2013.
