Ingenico: no significant impact related to the events in Japan

Ingenico (Euronext : FR0000125346 - ING), leading worldwide provider of payment solutions, specifies that the tragic events in Japan do not generate any significant impact on its activity. Ingenico immediately entered in contact with its local Japanese partners to express its support and evaluate the human and industrial short and mid term impact.

The exchanges enable to conclude that no short term issue for the standard components of its products is foreseen. Furthermore, no impact is expected on its activity or on its staff.

The monitoring system of Ingenico provides on time follow-up of the situation and its double sourcing policy addresses potential difficulties of a Japanese provider. All the suppliers are alerted and provide permanent and on time corresponding information.

A mid term tension related to some small components or possible logistical issues should be addressed thanks to the proven robustness of the Ingenico supply chain, as demonstrated during the shortage of some components in 2010.
