Street Furniture revenues increased by 3.8% to €260.4 million from €250.9 million in the third quarter of 2010 (organic growth: 4.5%). Core organic advertising revenues, excluding revenues related to the sale, rental and maintenance of street furniture products, increased by 4.1% over the period.
Despite concerns around the European economic environment, both France and Germany delivered double-digit growth in advertising revenues during the quarter. North America posted a strong organic growth on a like-for-like basis (excluding the impact of the non-renewal of a low-profitability shopping mall contract). It is also worth noting that fast-growing markets such as Turkey, India and Kazakhstan posted double-digit growth in the third quarter. The UK however posted a slight decrease and softer conditions continued in Southern Europe.
Transport revenues increased by 11.9% to €221.3 million from €197.7 million in the third quarter of 2010 reflecting a very strong organic revenue increase of 18.9%, partially offset by negative foreign exchange variations and change in perimeter effects.
During the third quarter, the strong organic revenue growth in the Transport division was mainly driven by the double-digit performance of Asia-Pacific, together with the Rest of the World and North America.
Billboard revenues decreased by 4.1% to €95.4 million from €99.5 million in the third quarter of 2010. Excluding acquisitions and the impact of foreign exchange, organic revenues decreased by 2.8%.
During the third quarter, the Billboard division suffered from a decrease in most European countries, with the exception of France - which posted slightly increasing revenues - and the UK which remained broadly flat year on year.
