AND DEPENDENT COMPANIES THAT MAKE UP THE CAF GROUP Annual Report 2003 Translation of a report originally issued in Spanish. In the event of a discrepancy, the Spanish-language version prevails This document, which is also published in English an on CD-ROM, contains the statutory documentation of CAF and Subsidiaries. More information on CAF and its products, together with the information required by law for shareholders and investors, can be obtained on the website www.caf.net. Letter from chairman Dear Shareholder: 2003 On the occasion of the Shareholders’ Meeting to which the management report and financial statements for 2003 are submitted for approval, I would like to inform you about the highlights of 2003 and offer you some important data about the future of our ANNUAL REPORT Company. CAF Consolidated Group income for 2003 was €11.6 million, up 18% on 2002. Earnings 2 before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) were €29.03 million and cash flow stood at €27.86 million, exceeding the figures obtained in 2002 by 10.02% and 11.90%, respectively. The CAF consolidated Group’s sales amounted to €495 million in 2003, up 26.27% on the previous year. In 2003 the total volume of contracts awarded to CAF in the domestic market amounted to €486 million. The most significant of these contracts were the orders for: 40 suburban units (Civia trains) for Renfe, 39 five-car trains for the Barcelona metro, 17 light rail metro units for Guadalmetro, the concession-holder of the Seville light rail system, 10 diesel units for Serveis Ferroviaris de Mallorca and 13 units for Ferrocarrils de la Generalitat de Catalunya. Contracts worth €208 million were obtained in foreign markets and included most notably 9 diesel units for Irish Rail and 15 six-car units for the Brussels metro. In total orders worth €694 million were obtained, the highest-ever figure in the Company’s history. As a result of the commercial activity described above, the backlog at 2003 year-end reached an all time high of €1,590 million, 50% of which relates to the domestic market and 50% to foreign markets. As the most important milestones in terms of deliveries, we can point out the completion of the Washington, Sacramento and Ireland projects, the first shipments to Northern Ireland and Pittsburgh, and the forthcoming roll-out of CAF’s first high-speed, variable-gauge train. The expectations of obtaining new contracts from Renfe in connection with the Railways Infrastructure Plan and, in particular, the new high-speed lines, which were discussed in previous years, were borne out in the first months of 2004. Renfe awarded CAF the supply of 45 variable-gauge 250 km/h high-speed trains. This contract for trains capable of travelling on lines with different gauges assures CAF’s presence in the high-speed sector. The innovative technology developed by CAF will enable Renfe operate versatile trains that run on the two existing gauges without the need to stop. Also, RENFE awarded the consortium formed by CAF and another manufacturer the supply 2003 of 30 single gauge 250 km/h high-speed trains. We will closely follow the projects to develop Spain’s high-speed network and for this purpose will maintain our firm commitment to the development of our own technology and to further research for new solutions. In the foreign markets, following the success obtained in Europe with contracts in the ANNUAL REPORT United Kingdom, Ireland and Italy, we have made further progress with the award of the contract for the Brussels metro, which has consolidated our position in the European CAF market. 3 Also, the new member countries of the EU, which need to develop their railways and metro networks, represent medium-term target markets to which we will devote our attention and efforts. As a result of the commercial activity subsequent to 2003 year-end, the volume of the backlog at the end of February reached a new record high of €2,406 million. This significant figure will enable us to not only to carry on our normal industrial activities over the next few years, but also to engage in our commercial activity with a more long- term perspective. I would like to end this letter by once again acknowledging and expressing my gratitude for the contribution of all CAF’s employees without whose efforts and dedication it would not have been possible to achieve the results we have obtained. We can only rise to meet the considerable challenges awaiting us in the near future with the renewed efforts of all the individuals who are part of our Company and we have every confidence that we will achieve this. I would like to thank you and the other shareholders for the trust you have placed in our Company and finally to confirm our commitment to continue to work with the same motivation and dedication to achieve the targets we have set ourselves. Thank you very much.

  • Issue No. 19 Winter 2010
    www.iberianrailwayssociety.org Issue No. 19 Winter 2010 he inaugural IRS meeting took place at the Model T Railway Club in London on 22nd February 2006, and was attended by about 20 prospective members from all around the UK. A general discussion took place and introductions, suggestions and proposals were made. At this meeting a small committee was voted on and tasked with setting up the Society on a formal basis. The Committee members are: Chairman David Stevenson Secretary Charles Phillips Journal Editor Michael Guerra Treasurer & Membership Secretary Tony Bowles Publicity & Exhibitions post vacant THE BASICS The remit of the Society is to stimulate interest in and disseminate information about railways on the Iberian Peninsular and the Balearic Islands. It was felt at this time that extending this remit to Spanish and Portuguese speaking areas of the world would be too ambitious. It is proposed that a Society Journal be published four times a year and that this would be the main conduit between members. Local meetings and branches were also to be established wherever possible to encourage membership from the widest possible area. A fledgling library could be made available to members as time went on. Consideration would be given to organising trips from the UK, both formal and informal, as a way of enabling members to meet in a very convivial atmosphere and whilst indulging their passion for rail travel! MEMBERSHIP Membership was to be open to all and would entitle the member to receipt of the magazine, use of the Societies’ facilities and attendance and voting rights at an Annual General Meeting.

    GREEN BOND IMPACT REPORTING MARCH 2021 Green Bond Impact Reporting 2021 1. FOREWORD EUROFIMA’S MISSION Since its establishment in 1956, EUROFIMA has extended EUR 88.9 billion of loans to its shareholder-clients for renewal and modernization of their rolling stock equipment, as such fulfilling its mission to support the development of public passenger rail transportation in Europe. The contracting states that signed the EUROFIMA Convention (Link to Convention) recognized, already at that time, the importance that “the railway can play its role in the general economy […] if it is in a position to effect investments corresponding to a normal renewal and to an indispensable modernization of rolling stock”. Rail has always been one of the lowest, if not the lowest, carbon transport mode and has played a positive role in society, support- ing economic development and offering congestion-free access to employment and leisure opportunities. Nevertheless, the aware-ness of railroad transport’s role as a key driver of sustaina- ble development has increased significantly only in recent years, as a result of the increasing attention on sustainability at all levels of our society, among decision makers and investors.

  • The Airport of Madrid Barajas (MAD)
    PROJECTE O TESINA D’ESPECIALITAT Títol The connection of Madrid – Barajas airport to the high-speed rail network Autor/a Rafael Amador Guerrero Tutor/a Dr. Andrés López Pita Departament Infraestructura, Transport i Territori Intensificació Ferrocarrils Data Juliol, 2014 THE CONNECTION OF MADRID- BARAJAS AIRPORT TO THE HIGH- SPEED RAIL NETWORK Minor thesis Civil Engineering July, 2014 Author: Rafael Amador Guerrero Tutor: Dr. Andrés López Pita Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC BarcelonaTech) Escola Tècnica Superior d’Enginyeria de Camins, Canals i Ports Departament d’Infraestructura, Transport i Territori Abstract The practices of the air-rail intermodality in Europe, specifically for high-speed railway, started in 1994 with the connection of Paris-CDG airport. In the following years it developed a remarkable expansion around other different European hub airports. The implementation in Spanish airports, though, has not been initiated due to unproductive political discussion of its suitability. This paper analyses the reasons behind the execution of a rail-air intermodal connection in the airport hub, Madrid-Barajas (MAD), and the factors contributing to stimulate this transit link, including significant similarities to other paradigmatic cases, like in CDG or FRA airports. Providing extensive representation of different examples of intermodality in Europe, identifying the essential characteristics of MAD airport, and detailing the high-speed network in Spain (and Madrid) will support to distinguish the motives of this air-rail link proposal. The characterisation also includes a description of its specific determinants to technically and functionally accomplish an intermodal node, such as the location, the current air-rail interaction or the possibilities of complementarity/connectivity between the air transport and the rail network.
