2005 Third Quarter Revenues up 10% Paris, November 9, 2005 – The Capgemini Group today published consolidated revenue figures for the third quarter 2005 (under IFRS standards but non-audited) of 1,674 million euros versus 1,587 million for the third quarter 2004 and 1,764 million euros for Q2 2005.

Compared to the same period last year, and at constant rates and perimeter, the Group posted growth of 10% which can be broken down as follows: • by discipline: outsourcing showed the highest growth rate (+15.0%) and today represents 39% of Group revenues, but the other disciplines also posted a good growth (+7.0%); • by region: the growth was particularly strong in Europe (+13.0%) with a slight revenue decrease in North America (-1.3%). Compared to the previous quarter, and at constant rates and perimeter, the Group posted overall a slight decrease in revenues (-4.0%) which is in line with the historical negative seasonality effect, but a growth of 1.4% in North America. At current rates and perimeter, the additional 1% decrease can be explained by the sale of the North American Healthcare practice. Bookings for the third quarter totalled 1,251 million euros, up 1.3% over the third quarter 2004 (and up 8.6% in outsourcing alone). It should be noted that in the United States, these bookings have been in constant progression for three consecutive quarters. These results allow the Group to adjust its revenue forecast upwards, towards a growth rate close to +14% for the full year 2005 at constant rates and perimeter. Operating margin forecasts remain unchanged at 2.9%.
