Milan , 08 March 2011 – Meeting today, the Board of Directors of Autogrill S.p.A. (Milan: AGL IM) examined and approved the consolidated financial statements and the Company’s draft financial statements for 2010 .
In 2010, Autogrill posted positive income and financial results showing an improvement on the previous year in an economic scenario in which increases in international trade and travel pointed to recovery. Albeit unevenly, the year was marked by a recovery in traffic in the airport channel, which showed faster growth than motorways. This trend favoured performance more in Travel Retail & Duty Free, which is concentrated exclusively in airports, than Food & Beverage, which has more substantial operations on motorways.
