Revenues as of September 30, 2016 were EUR 47,514 million, down -11.1% on a gross basis and -10.3% on an organic basis. This organic decrease is mainly attributable to lower commodity prices which impacted exploration and production, retail businesses, gas midstream and LNG activities and power generation businesses and to the temperatures in France less cold over the first nine months of 2016 compared to the same period in 2015.
Group Ebitda amounted to EUR 7,689 million, down -5.4% on a reported basis and -2.0% on an organic basis compared to end of September 2015, which confirms the good performance of our activities in light of the adverse price impacts.

6 Cash Flow From Operations (CFFO) = Free Cash Flow before Maintenance Capex
Ebitda for the first 9 months benefitted from the positive impact of the restart of the Doel 3, Tihange 2 and Doel 1 nuclear power plants in Belgium end December 2015, the effects of the Lean 2018 performance plan, the impact of commissioning of new assets and the tariffs increases in infrastructures.
Nevertheless, these positive items were offset by an unfavorable scope effect, an unfavorable exchange rate effect notably related to the Brazilian real, negative price impacts for merchant activities and the temperature impact in France less positive than on the first 9 months of 2015.
Current operating income amounted to EUR 4,441 million up +1.3% on a gross basis and +6.6% on an organic basis compared to end of September 2015. The organic decrease recorded at Ebitda level is mainly compensated by the positive impact from the reduction of depreciation and amortization charges as a result of the impairment losses recorded at end 2015 and the impact of reclassifying the portfolio of merchant power generation assets in the US as assets held for sale.
As of September 30, 2016, net debt reached EUR 25.8 billion, down EUR 1.9 billion from year-end 2015 and stable compared to June 30, 2016 mainly thanks to a solid Cash Flow From Operations and a favorable forex impact.
Cash Flow From Operations (CFFO) amounted to EUR 6.8 billion for the first 9 months down EUR 0.6 billion versus last year. This evolution reflects both a resilient operational cash flow generation and unfavorable yearon-year changes in working capital requirements of EUR -0.2 billion (mainly due to margin calls and financial derivatives), albeit strongly improving compared to June 30, 2016.
At the end of September, the net debt to EBITDA ratio came out at 2.38, in line with the target of a ratio less than or equal to 2.5x. The average cost of gross debt slightly declines compared to end 2015 at 2.8%.
7 Assuming average temperatures in France, full pass through of supply costs in French regulated gas tariffs, no significant regulatory and macro-economic changes, commodity price assumptions based on market conditions as of December 31st, 2015 for the non-hedged part of the production, and average foreign exchange rates as follows for 2016: €/\$: 1.10; €/BRL: 4.59.
8 Excluding significant scope impact and changes of the accounting treatment of the nuclear contribution in Belgium.
9 An interim dividend of €0,5/share for fiscal year 2016 has been paid on October, 14, 2016.
ENGIE announced at the beginning of May 2016 six new non-financial objectives to be achieved by 2020:

Since January 1, 2016, the Group is organized into 24 Business Units (BUs), according to a geographic principle. The new reporting of the Group presents these BUs according to 10 segments, as presented above.
Group revenues decreased by -11.1% on a gross basis, with EUR +131 million scope effects (EUR -325 million for scope out effects related notably to the disposal of commercialization activities in Hungary in 2015 and the disposal of the merchant hydro generation asset portfolio in the United States in 2016 and EUR +456 million for scope in effects related to acquisitions in services including OpTerra early 2016 and Solairedirect at the end of 2015) and EUR –674 million due to exchange rate fluctuations, mainly on the Brazilian real. Revenues decreased by -10.3% on an organic basis.
Revenues for the international segments decreased on a gross and organic basis. This mainly reflects lower sales prices for electricity produced in Brazil and in the United States, despite higher sales in Peru and the commissioning of the Mayakan gas pipeline in Mexico.
In Europe, Benelux revenues are stable on a gross basis due to the restart of Doel 3, Tihange 2 and Doel 1 end of last year, whose very favorable impact is somewhat mitigated by lower sales prices for commercialization activities. In France, revenues are negatively impacted by less cold temperatures compared to last year and by the decrease in market shares in gas for businesses. Revenues for the segment Europe excluding France and Benelux also decreased on a gross basis due to unfavorable forex impacts (Sterling), disposal of retail activities in Hungary, unfavorable temperatures in Italy and lower distribution tariffs in Romania.
Revenues for Infrastructures increased by +4.2% on a gross basis, despite less cold temperatures compared to last year. This growth reflects the annual tariffs adjustment and the development of activities for third parties for gas distribution and transmission infrastructures in France.
Revenues for the segment Global Energy Management and Global LNG on the one hand, and explorationproduction on the other hand, decreased by –39.6% and by –20.3% on a gross basis, respectively. This decrease is mainly explained by the drop in commodity prices, notably oil and gas. In exploration-production, the volumes produced slightly decreased year on year.
Revenues for the segment Other also decreased. This is notably explained by the closure of two coal power plants (Gelderland in the Netherlands and Rugeley in the United Kingdom).
