The index decreased to 48.3, compared to the final reading of 49.5 in January and 50.5 in December. Commenting on the Flash China Manufacturing PMI survey, Hongbin Qu, Chief Economist, China & Co-Head of Asian Economic Research at HSBC said, Februarys flash reading of the HSBC China Manufacturing PMI moderated further as new orders and production contracted, reflecting the renewed destocking activities. The building-up of disinflationary pressures implies that the underlying momentum for manufacturing growth could be weakening. We believe Beijing policy makers should and can fine-tune policy to keep growth at a steady pace in the coming year. U.S. MANUFACTURING ACTIVITY REBOUNDS STRONGLY IN FEBRUARY http://www.markiteconomics.com/Survey/PressRelease.mvc/c7542a2e11a34e0eb2dc6d0da06fef6e February data suggested a solid rebound in U.S. manufacturing business conditions following the slowdown recorded during the previous month.

VEOLIA HAS BEEN AWARDED THE CONTRACT FOR THE WATER TREATMENT FACILITY AT SHELL CANADAS CARMON CREEK HEAVY OIL PROJECT http://online.wsj.com/article/PR-CO-20140218-903786.html Veolia (Paris:VIE) has been awarded the contract by Shell Canada to design and supply a water treatment facility to recycle the water used for steam generation at S hells Carmon Creek heavy oil project in Alberta, Canada. The Shell Carmon Creek Project, under construction, will produce up to 80,000 barrels per day of oil using enhanced oil recovery methods, where steam is injected into the underground reservoir to help produce the heavy oil. The water co-produced with the oil recovered from underground will be treated and re-used to generate steam. This approach maximizes the amount of process water recycled (approximately 99%). Veolias engineering and design expertise has produced a treatment system that will allow production of up to 50,000 tons of steam per day critical to the oil production process. Proprietary water technologies that include the separation of hydrocarbons, warm-lime softening, after filters, ion exchange and evaporation will offer a comprehensive solution for recovering and recycling of the produced water. Veolia previously supplied Shell with a sustainable water management solution for its Pearl GTL complex in Qatar that also involved a highly integrated water treatment system aimed at maximum water recovery. BUENOS AIRES CONTRACTS PROACTIVA TO MANAGE THE CITYS WASTE MANAGEMENT SERVICES http://online.wsj.com/article/PR-CO-20140220-903645.html The municipality of Buenos Aires (Argentina) has just contracted the management of its waste management services to Proactiva Medio Ambiente, a Veolia Environnement (Paris:VIE) subsidiary in charge of its activities in Latin America.

2013 compared to the fourth quarter of 2012, as a result of building more railcars for our lease fleet. This was partially offset by increased revenues for the railcar services and railcar leasing segments. Total manufacturing - segment revenues for the fourth quarter of 2013 were $252.5 million, an increase of 7% over the $236.5 million for the same period in 2012. o The primary reason for the increase was a higher mix of tank railcars sold, which generally sell at higher prices due to more material and labor content, and at higher margins than covered hopper railcars. Total leasing - segment revenues for the fourth quarter of 2013 were $9.5 million, an increase of 86% over the $5.1 million for the same period in 2012. o The primary reason for the increase in revenue was an increase in the number of railcars on lease and an increase in the average lease rate. ARI had approximately 4,450 railcars in the Company's lease fleet at the end of 2013, compared to approximately 2,590 railcars at the end of 2012.
