ALSTOM : and the Ministry of Railway of China Sign Cooperation Agreement to Jointly Develop Railway Markets
12/07/2010 | 01:20 am
Regulatory News:

On 7 December 2010, Liu Zhijun, Minister of Chinese Railways, and Patrick Kron, Alstom (Paris:ALO) Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, in the presence of Mr. Zhang Dejiang, Chinese Vice Premier, signed a long-term cooperation agreement to form strategic partnerships for both Chinese and defined international railway markets. The agreement is built upon Alstom's presence of over 50 years in China. This collaboration will allow the parties to be in a lead position in the competitive global rail markets.

The signing of this cooperation agreement reinforces Alstom's multi-geographic presence by securing greater proximity with the Chinese customers and allowing the company to provide the most appropriate solutions to customer needs, worldwide.

Under the terms of the agreement, Alstom and MoR will accelerate new areas of the cooperation on a wide spectrum of rail transport mainline segments, including rolling stock (intercity, high speed trains, locomotives) and signalling (for intercity and high speed railway), based on the development of the current cooperation platforms (EMUs & Locomotives).

Alstom will work with the MoR and its Chinese industrial partners to jointly design, develop and promote advanced railway products and solutions, which meet the requirements of both domestic and international markets, leveraging the respective strengths of the parties concerned. The agreement will contribute to gear Alstom's future position on the huge Chinese market, while boosting the partnership in agreed international markets.

Patrick Kron, Alstom Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, declared: ?China is a strategic market for our transport activities, due to its size and its high growth potential. More globally, Alstom will continue its long-standing commitment to China by offering state-of-art rail transport, power generation and transmission solutions, in order to meet the needs of the Chinese fast paced demand.?

Philippe Mellier, President of Alstom Transport, stated: ?Alstom is keen to jointly develop the best solutions for the Chinese and agreed international rail markets, by building up appropriate partnerships with its Chinese industrial partners.?

As a world leader in rail transport, Alstom is well positioned to contribute to the development of the Chinese railway network. Alstom Transport is present in China for more than 50 years. Its presence includes 5 joint ventures, 8 project offices and 3 industrial partnerships in metro, locomotives and passenger trains.

PARIS (Dow Jones)--French building-to-broadcasting conglomerate Bouygues SA (EN.FR) will play no direct role in determining the future of cross-town nuclear group Areva SA (CEI.FR) but power equipment and train company Alstom SA (ALO.FR), in which it holds a 31% stake, could get involved, Chief Financial Officer Philippe Marien said Thursday.

"We say at Bouygues...that any reflection surrounding Areva passes through Alstom," Marien said on a conference call with reporters.

"As before, there is no cause for Bouygues to make any direct intervention in Areva," he added.

Alstom has long said it would be interested in a tie-up with Areva.

The French government, which controls Areva, is currently in talks with potential investors for a capital increase to give the company more leeway to invest.

But people familiar with the matter have said Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (7011.TO) has been deterred from participating due to pressure from state-controlled utility giant Electricite de France SA (EDF.FR), while the Qatar Investment Authority has demanded involvement in Areva's uranium mining operations, something that the French government appears unwilling to accept.

Alstom of France to supply 45 cars for Santo Domingo subway

Zoom Picture Santo Domingo.- The Assistant Director of the Transport Reform Office (Opret) yesterday revealed that the French company Alstom Transport won the tender offers to supply 45 cars for the Santo Domingo Metro's 2nd Line.

Leonel Carrasco however didn't disclose neither the cost entailed in the agreement, the price for each car, nor the companies that participated in the call for tenders, "because the agreement hasn't been finalized; but we assure you that it was conducted as the Law stipulates."

The 45 cars are for the first stage of the 2nd Line, which for reasons of cost and construction time has been notably reduced from the original span of Los Alcarrizos in the west toSanto Domingo East, to Los Alcarrizos-Francisco del Rosario Sanchez bridge (Puente La 17). "The private sector was going to acquire a tunneling machine type TBM which in the end couldn't have been brought in time."

When concluded in 2012 the Line will reach from the 9 kilometer marker on the Duarte highway to La 17.

Bombardier contests U.S. railway contract awarded to France's Alstom

MONTREAL - Bombardier (TSX:BBD.B) is contesting a US$200 million U.S. railway contract awarded to French rival Alstom, in a situation similar to the recent battle to secure Montreal's subway contract.

A committee of the Delaware River Port Authority last week selected Alstom to rebuild the 40-year-old trains on the PATCO Speedline connecting Philadelphia and Camden, N.J.

Alstom submitted a price of US$194.2 million, while Bombardier's was 19 per cent higher at US$230.3 million.

Bombardier argued that the transit authority didn't give it time to present "an improved offer," which involved the installation of new car shells, the Philadelphia Inquirer reported Monday.

The public group said Alstom presented the best proposal under the circumstances.

As was the case with the Montreal Metro contract, Spanish railway company CAF was eliminated because its offer was deemed uncompetitive.

After Alstom successfully challenged the initial awarding of the Montreal contract in court, the two rivals joined forces and were ultimately given the US$1.2 billion contract. Bombardier's share is US$715 million

Virgin chases US train deal
Tuesday, 16th November 2010
TRANSPORT
MATTHEW WEST
VIRGIN Group has joined the race to build and run the first high-speed railway line in the US.

The transport operator, owned by Sir Richard Branson, has joined one of eight consortia bidding to operate the 168mph rail-link, set to open for bids early next year with a completion date slated for 2015.

Virgin's partners include Alstom and Vinci of France as well as Spain's Obrascón Huarte Lain. National Express is also bidding for the contract as part of a team that includes Canada's Bombardier and Kiewit of the US.

The $2.6bn (£1.6bn) route will run between Tampa and Orlando in Florida – which Virgin already serves though with Virgin Atlantic, its long-haul airline.

The first phase of the route from Tampa to Orlando International Airport is 84 miles long, with a stop at Disney World.

The second stage of the link, a 240-mile line from Orlando to Miami, has not received stimulus funding but $8m is being invested in a feasibility study. Florida has secured $2bn of the $2.6bn budget from the government's stimulus fund. The completion of the project would see US President Barack Obama also fulfill one of his transport priorities.

EU Weighs Legal Charges Against UK On Eurostar Orders - Official
Alstom (EU:ALO)
Intraday Stock Chart
Today : Thursday 4 November 2010
The European Commission is considering charging the U.K. with violating European Union public purchasing rules after Eurostar, the multinational train operator, chose Siemens AG (SIE.XE) to supply trains over Alstom SA, an EU official said Thursday.

Alstom complained last month to the commission, the EU's executive arm, that the Eurostar decision to award the contract to Siemens violated EU rules.

"We would not ask questions if it was not potentially serious," the official said. "Alstom have raised questions which do justify further investigation."

UPDATE: Alstom Profit Down On New Unit Costs; Keeps Guidance
Alstom (EU:ALO)
Intraday Stock Chart
Today : Thursday 4 November 2010
Power engineering and train company Alstom SA (ALO.FR) Thursday said fiscal first-half net profit fell 29% as the costs of acquiring its new power grid unit weighed, but confirmed its guidance for the full fiscal year and the next even as power orders remained sluggish.

Alstom, whose products range from turbines for power stations to high-speed trains, said net profit for the first six months of the fiscal year fell to EUR401 million, from EUR562 million a year earlier, well short of the average estimate of EUR536 million from a Dow Jones Newswires poll of four analysts.

Sales, however, rose 8% to EUR10.43 billion from EUR9.68 billion, as the company incorporated sales from the new power transmission operations it bought from the French nuclear group Areva (CEI.FR).

Alstom maintained its guidance, saying its overall operating margin should be between 7% and 8% for the current and next fiscal years.

Orders received in the fiscal first half came to EUR7.04 billion, Alstom said, or EUR5.64 billion excluding the contribution of the new grid unit, which wasn't part of its portfolio a year ago. Even including the grid's share, orders were below the EUR7.13 billion Alstom booked in the first half of 2009.

"During the first half of 2010/11, demand remained weak for new thermal power equipments in mature markets, leading to a low level of order intake," Chief Executive Patrick Kron said in a statement. He recalled that the company has announced a restructuring plan for its European and North-American operations in that sector.

The Thermal Systems and Products branch of Alstom's power division, the company's largest, "recorded no large projects during the first semester," it said.

Shares of Alstom have lost around 27% since the beginning of the year amid concern that a recovery in big-ticket power equipment orders has been proving elusive for the company.

At 0819 GMT, Alstom shares were down 1.7% at EUR35.79.

Alstom First-Half Profit Misses Estimates as Utilities Delay Plant Orders
By Francois de Beaupuy - Nov 4, 2010 7:36 AM GMT+0100 Tweet (2)LinkedIn Share
Business ExchangeBuzz up!DiggPrint Email .Alstom SA, the world's third-largest power-equipment maker, reported a bigger-than-expected 29 percent drop in first-half profit after utilities delayed orders for power plants.

Net income fell to 401 million euros ($566 million) in the six months through September from 562 million euros a year earlier, the Paris-based company said today in an emailed statement. Analysts estimated 503 million euros in a Bloomberg survey. Chief Executive Officer Patrick Kron reiterated that the operating margin will narrow to about 7 percent to 8 percent over this fiscal year and next.

Kron is cutting about 4,000 jobs at sites that make coal- and gas-fired power equipment as utilities delay investments. The CEO suffered another setback last month when German rival Siemens AG was picked over Alstom by Eurostar Group Ltd., which is controlled by French national railways, to supply 10 high- speed trains.

Alstom sales in the six months through September climbed 8 percent to 10.4 billion euros, helped by the acquisition of the power-transmission unit from Areva SA in June. Operating profit fell 8 percent to 763 million euros, representing 7.3 percent of sales. Excluding the purchase, sales fell 8 percent.

New orders fell 21 percent to 5.6 billion euros, excluding the grid unit.

The current quarter is helping replenish the order book. Alstom and Russian rail-equipment maker Transmashholding won a 1.3 billion-euro contract to supply locomotives to the Kazakhstan railway company. Alstom and Bombardier Inc. won an 864 million-euro contract to supply metro cars for Montreal. Alstom also won two contracts to provide gas-fired combined cycle plants in Singapore, and was pre-selected to supply power equipments in India.

Alstom : retour à la case départ

En baisse de 0,7% vendredi après une heure de cotation, le titre Alstom s'apprête à signer sa cinquième séance consécutive dans le rouge. Il revient ainsi tester ses plus bas annuels à 35,4 euros. Ce niveau constitue un seuil graphique majeur, sur lequel il a déjà pris appui à quatre reprises depuis juin. Une bonne réaction sur ce niveau permettrait d'amorcer une phase de rebond. Pour l'heure, la tendance à court terme reste fragile en dessous de 38,1 euros. On attendra le débordement de ce niveau avant d'envisager un retour à l'achat. On visera alors les 40 euros, puis 43,1 euros en ligne de mire.

Alstom: UK Hearing Showed Its Case Is Serious; To Pursue It

Published October 29, 2010
| Dow Jones Newswires
Print Email Share Comments (0) Text Size PARIS -(Dow Jones)- French train maker and power engineering company Alstom SA (ALO.FR) said Friday that the legal case it fought at the U.K. High Court showed the seriousness of its case and that it will pursue its challenge to a tendering process in which Eurostar opted for trains from its German rival Siemens AG (SI: 114.26 ,-0.59 ,-0.51%).

Earlier Friday, the court dismissed its attempt to stop Eurostar from buying the new trains from Siemens.

"Alstom notes today's ruling at the U.K. High Court and the recognition by the judge that Alstom demonstrated that it has a serious case to be tried, with respect of the uncertainty surrounding the Channel tunnel safety rules and on the evaluation process of the tender," the company said in a statement.

"Alstom will pursue alternative legal options to uphold its position," it said, adding that it "has already submitted its case to the European Commission," the 27-country European Union's regulatory arm.
