Group results for first quarter 2007

In the first quarter of 2007 Valeo's total operating revenues were
2,640 million euros, down 0.5% versus the first quarter 2006.
Excluding the impact of exchange rates (-2%) and perimeter changes
(-0.5%), growth was 2% and reached 5% in the aftermarket.

The quarterly gross margin was 396 million euros (15.2% of sales)
as compared with 415 million euros (15.8% of sales) in 2006,
representing a fall of 4.6%. The gross negative impact of the rise in
raw material prices was 2.2 margin points.

The Group's operating income increased by 29.5% to 79 million
euros (3.0% of total operating revenues) versus 61 million euros
(2.3%) in the first quarter 2006. This performance reflects a
reduction in net research and development expenditure and selling and
administrative expenses and the favorable outcome of a commercial
litigation.

Basic earnings per share was up by 44.8% to 0.42 euro versus
0.29 euro for the first quarter 2006.

At 31 March 2007, Valeo's net financial debt was 966 million
euros, compared to 1,072 million euros at 31 March 2006. The
debt-to-equity ratio was 54%, down by five points as compared with 31
March 2006.

Highlights

- Valeo continued its expansion in Asia with the opening of
sites in Puzan, Korea (Engine Cooling) and Foshan, China (Lighting
Systems).

- The Group received several awards from customers, including five
from Toyota Europe, in particular the Superior Performance Award in
Quality and an EcoTech award from PSA Peugeot Citroen.

- The Volkswagen Touran, equipped with Valeo's Park4U(TM) system
which enables a driver to park the car automatically in less than 15
seconds, was launched in the European market during the quarter.

- Just after the end of the quarter, Valeo Raytheon was awarded a
2007 PACE Award in Detroit for its Blind Spot Detection System. This
is the Group's third consecutive PACE Award following those received
for the StARS micro-hybrid system in 2006 and the LaneVue(TM) Lane
Departure Warning System in 2005.

Outlook

In line with its outlook, Valeo anticipates a drop in European and
North American automotive production in the second quarter. For the
full year the Group expects an improvement in its operating margin
due in particular to increasing automotive production levels and
ongoing rigorous management.

Moreover, the Group continues to examine the indications of
interest which it has received. The market will be informed at the
appropriate time of any eventual developments.

production and sale of components, integrated systems and modules for
cars and trucks. It is one of the world's leading automotive
