PSA's group revenue in 2013 declined 2% to €54.1 billion. The company's net loss of €2.3 billion last year compares with a loss of €5 billion in 2012. Operating losses narrowed to €1.3 billion from €4.7 billion.
The company reiterates that it expects to achieve positive cash flow no later than 2016.
