Levallois, July 22, 2015
Laurent Burelle
Chairman and CEO
With 22 million vehicles produced in 2014, China is the world's leading automotive market, representing one-quarter of global production. China also accounts for nearly half of projected growth in the automotive market over the coming four years: an additional 6.5 million new cars are set to be manufactured in China by 2018, out of a total of 14 million worldwide. Furthermore, environmental standards aimed at reducing pollutant emissions are taking root in China.
For these reasons, Plastic Omnium sees China as a major reserve of growth, and the focus of its globalization and innovation strategy.
After commissioning four new plants in 2014, the Group launched four new production units in first-half 2015, bringing its Chinese industrial capacity to 25 plants. The Wuhan Jiangxia, Hangzhou and Changsha plants were brought into service to provide bumpers for SGM, CA-Ford and SVW, while the Beijing plant has assembled front-end modules for BBAC since March 2015. Plastic Omnium now operates in seven major Chinese production zones (Shenyang, Beijing, Yantai, Shanghai, Wuhan, Guangzhou and Chongqing), and its industrial capabilities are nearly complete. A single additional plant is planned, to deliver fuel systems to Hyundai in 2016.
The first-half of 2015 saw significant order intake. In Mexico, the Group received orders from General Motors and Daimler for bumpers to be manufactured at a new plant to be commissioned in 2017.
Plastic Omnium also won orders from Daimler for the supply of fuel systems for two global platforms (Sprinter and MFA2). They will be delivered in Europe, Brazil, China and Mexico, resulting in the construction of a new fuel systems plant in Mexico in 2016. Lastly, the Group won an order from Volvo-Geely to supply fuel systems for a new platform in Europe and China.
In Asia, the gaining of a new fuel systems contract with Suzuki will result in the construction of a plant in Gujarat.
Plastic Omnium is developing technology known as SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) to reduce nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions from diesel vehicles. SCR technology is based on the injection of an aqueous urea solution, known as AdBlue®, into the exhaust. When it comes into contact with hot gases, AdBlue is converted by hydrolysis into ammonia, which then reacts with the nitrogen oxides to emit non-polluting water and nitrogen. The system reduces NOx by up to 95%, giving diesel vehicles a lower level of NOx emissions than gasoline vehicles already compatible with future environmental standards.
In early 2015, Plastic Omnium launched the production of SCR systems for the Volkswagen Group's MLBevo platform. After the start of production for the Audi Q7 in February, production of SCR systems for the Audi A4 began at the Lublin plant in Poland in June. Production for the Audi A5, Volkswagen Touareg and Porsche Cayenne will be added in 2016 and 2017. A total of 2 million SCR systems will be provided to the Volkswagen Group over the life of the platform.
In first-half 2015, Plastic Omnium added 2 new customers to its SCR customers, bringing to 13 the number of automakers in the portfolio for which products are on order or under development.
Plastic Omnium's production volumes, which amounted to 300,000 units in 2014, are expected to grow to 2.3 million units by 2019, representing global market share of 33%.
In March 2015, Plastic Omnium received two Innovation Awards from JEC, the world's largest body of members of the composites industry. The awards went to two jointly developed innovations, one with PSA Peugeot Citroën, the other with Hyundai Motor Europe, that offer shock-resistance capacity equivalent to existing equipment in metal.
Plastic Omnium has developed with PSA Peugeot Citroën a solution for the substitution of traditional steel underbodies by a self-supporting floor made of thermosetting resin reinforced with glass fiber. This has reduced the number of parts to be assembled from more than 30 to just four main components, and cut the weight by around 8 kg for a mid-range model. This technology is compatible with the means used to assemble automobile bodies, and can be implemented in a multi-material approach with steel. The first proposed applications could emerge by 2020.
For Hyundai Motor Europe, Plastic Omnium has also developed a front-end bumper beam that is 43% lighter than existing models, representing a gain of 3.7 kg compared with the same equipment in sheet steel. The new technology, which combines pultruded reinforced glass fiber and carbon molded with a thermoplastic resin, achieves a high level of performance at a competitive cost. The aim is to equip a first Hyundai vehicle with the new bumper beam in 2017.
The two awards demonstrate the soundness of Plastic Omnium's strategy of developing a multimaterial offer to make vehicles lighter, and in that way to reduce their CO2 footprint. Its work on the new generations of high-performance plastics and recycled carbon fibers underscores Plastic Omnium's commitment to making composites more accessible for mass production applications in the automotive industry.
In first-half 2015, Compagnie Plastic Omnium purchased 800,000 of its own shares (0.52% of share capital) for a total of €20.3 million (i.e. an average purchase price of €25.34 per share). As of June 30, 2015, it held 3.71% of its own shares.
Interim 2015 economic sales(1) amounted to €2,945.3 million, an increase of 11.8%.
The Group's globalization strategy is paying off, resulting in a significant increase in sales in areas with strong currencies, such as North America and Asia.
Currency effects totaled a negative €241 million, of which €145 million on the US dollar and €44 million on the Chinese renminbi. Economic sales grew by 3% in first-half 2015 at constant scope and exchange rates.
Consolidated sales(2) grew by 10.2%, with an increase of 1.1% at constant scope and exchange rates.

Sales from automotive operations increased by 3.5% at constant exchange rates, on a 1.3% increase in automobile manufacturing in first-half 2015. As expected, sales outperformed the market by more than 2 percentage points over the period.
Sales of the Environment division were down 3.7% at constant scope and exchange rates. Against a backdrop of reduced spending by local authorities, Plastic Omnium reinforced its market share in Europe, winning new contracts in Paris, Bordeaux and Orléans (France), Ghent (Belgium) and Ravensburg (Germany).

Growth in economic sales by region broke down as follows:
The Group's growth was driven by Europe, where sales increased by 6.9% at constant exchange rates. The group gained traction from the launch of 27 new programs, including:
-the new Renault Espace, for which the Group is providing the bumper, the rear floor, the spoiler-equipped tailgate and the fuel system;
-the bumpers of the new Jaguar XE and XF;
-the SCR nitrogen oxide emission control system for the Audi Q7.
Moreover, in Russia, production of fuel systems broke even thanks to rigorous management.
Trading was also strong in Asia, with a 6.4% increase in sales at constant exchange rates. 31 new program launches took place in this area, of which 22 in China, where four new production units were commissioned (Wuhan, Hangzhou, Changsha, Beijing) and initial equipment deliveries were made to Chinese automakers Geely and BAIC. In Japan, the production of the SCR system for Toyota began at the Kitakyushu plant.
In North America, the nine new program launches slated for second-half, faster sales of the Ford F150 and the start of work at the Volkswagen plant in Chattanooga in late August will boost growth in this region.
In South America, sales were stable on a 16% drop in automobile manufacturing, thanks to the launch of new Peugeot and Honda models and rigorous management of selling prices.
In first-half 2015, the Volkswagen Group remained the Group's biggest customer, accounting for 17% of automotive sales, ahead of the General Motors Group (15%) and the PSA Peugeot Citroën Group (12%).
By nationality, German automakers were the leading contributors to automotive sales, with 31% of sales, ahead of American (27%), French (20%) and Asian (19%) manufacturers.
The consolidated gross profit was €423 million, up from €374.4 million in first-half 2014. This represents 17.1% of sales, up from 16.7% in first-half 2014.
Research and development expenses, in gross value, were up 16% at €140.6 million, compared with €121.5 million in first-half 2014. In net value, i.e. after capitalization and rebilling to customers, expenditure amounted to €52 million, compared with €51.1 million in first-half 2014. This represents 2.1% of sales.
Selling expenses totaled €30.1 million, or 1.2% of sales, compared with €28.5 million in first-half 2014.
Administrative expenses totaled €111.6 million in first-half 2015, compared with €102.6 million in first-half 2014, i.e. 4.5% and 4.6% of sales respectively.
The operating margin(3) was up 18.5% at €237.3 million, or 9.6% of sales, compared with 8.9% in the first half of 2014.
The Automotive Division's operating margin increased by 20% to €226.2 million (9.9% of sales). In the Environment Division, the margin was 5.8% of sales, compared with 6.3% in 2014.
Other operating income and expenses represented an expense of €24.3 million, and mainly comprised restructuring expenses and asset impairments.
Net financial income and expense was an expense of €26.5 million, representing 1.1% of firsthalf 2015 sales, compared with 1.4% in first-half 2014 (€32.2 million).
Tax expense was €41.9 million, compared with €33.7 million in first-half 2014, i.e. an effective tax rate of 24.8%, compared with 26.2%.
Net income amounted to €144.6 million, or 5.8% of sales, compared with 5.0% in first-half 2014. It was up 29%.
Net profit (loss)-group share increased by 30.9% to €141.8 million, compared with €108.4 million in first-half 2014.
EBITDA grew by 15% to €347 million, or 14.0% of sales, and cash flow from operations increased by 10.7% to €321 million (13% of sales).
Committed to a sustained capital spending program, the Group invested €164 million in first-half 2015.
Free cash flow(4) tripled to €107 million (4.3% of sales), compared with €33 million in first-half 2014.
After the payment of a dividend up 12% and purchases of treasury shares in the amount of €20.3 million, the Group's net debt fell by €36 million to €354 million from €390 million as of December 31, 2014 and €423 million as of June 30, 2014. It represents 30% of equity (36% as of December 31, 2014 and 44% as of June 30, 2014), i.e. 0.5x EBITDA.
Related parties as of June 30, 2015 are identical to those identified as of December 31, 2014, and transactions with them were also of a similar nature during the period under review.
The very significant order intake seen since the start of 2015, on global platforms and with customers diversifying the Group's portfolio, will significantly increase market share by 2016. It will be supported by the construction of eight new plants by the end of 2017. By that date, the Group will have 123 state-of-the-art plants enjoying high capacity utilization rates.
As such, the Group expects to reach its target revenue of €7 billion(1) , initially announced for 2018, a year earlier than planned, i.e. in 2017.
95% of these sales are now backed up by firm orders.
The risk factors of Compagnie Plastic Omnium remain those identified in the Group's management report as of end-December 2014.
As part of its financial communication, the Group uses financial indicators based on selected data from the consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with the IFRS adopted by the European Union.
As stated in Note 3.1 to the consolidated financial statements at June 30, 2015, with regard to segment information, the Group uses the notion of economic sales for its operational management, which corresponds to the consolidated sales of the Group and its joint ventures at their ownership percentage: German company HBPO a world leading manufacturer of front-end modules, Yanfeng Plastic Omnium a China's leading manufacturer of exterior body parts, BPO a major player on the Turkish market for exterior equipment, and Plastic Recycling a specialist plastic recycling company.

(*): The "free cash flow" is an essential notion specific to the Plastic Omnium Group. It is used in all of the Group's external financial communication (press releases) and, in particular, for annual and interim results presentations.
(#): The full amount of the dividend paid to Burelle SA in the two periods was paid by Compagnie Plastic Omnium.
(##): In the first-half of 2015, the dividend paid to other shareholders amounted to €22,672 thousand (compared with €20,061 thousand in the first-half of 2014) and was paid by Compagnie Plastic Omnium, bringing the total amount of dividends paid by Compagnie Plastic Omnium to €54,833 thousand (compared with €48,746 thousand in the first-half of 2014). See Note 5.2.2 "Dividends voted and paid by Compagnie Plastic Omnium".
Plastic Omnium's consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2015 were approved by the Board of Directors on July 21, 2015.
Compagnie Plastic Omnium, a company governed by French law, was set up in 1946. The articles of incorporation fixed its duration until April 24, 2112, following the adoption of the twelfth resolution put forward at the Shareholders' Meeting of April 25, 2013. The Company is registered in the Lyon Trade and Companies Register under number 955 512 611 and its registered office is at 19, boulevard Jules Carteret, 69007 Lyon, France.
The terms "Plastic Omnium", "the Group" and "the Plastic Omnium Group" all refer to the group of companies comprising Compagnie Plastic Omnium and its consolidated subsidiaries.
The Plastic Omnium Group is a global leader in the transformation of plastics for the automotive industry (various products including body part modules, fuel storage and supply systems) representing 92.2% of its consolidated sales (93.5% of its economic sales) and waste collection containers and road signs for local authorities representing the balance.
Plastic Omnium Group shares have been traded on the Paris Stock Exchange since 1965 and are listed on Eurolist in compartment A since January 17, 2013. The Group is part of the SBF 120 and the CAC Mid 60 indices. The Group's main shareholder is Burelle SA, which owned 56.60% of shares (58.78% excluding treasury stock) at June 30, 2015.
The unit of measurement used in the Notes to the consolidated financial statements is thousands of euros, unless otherwise indicated.
The condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2015 have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 "Interim Financial Reporting".
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information required of annual financial statements and should therefore be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2014.
The accounting policies applied to prepare these condensed interim consolidated financial statements are the same as those used at December 31, 2014, as described in Note 1 "Basis of Preparation" to the 2014 consolidated financial statements, except for those affected by the new standards and the amendments mandatory from January 1, 2015. The Group has applied the IFRIC 21 interpretation which defines the recognition of various taxes, duties and other levies covered by IAS 37 "Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets", as well as the other mandatory standards at January 1, 2015, without material impact.
Furthermore, the Group has amended the presentation of its share of earnings in equity-accounted investments in the consolidated income statement in order to reflect the nature of their activities. These entities contribute to the Group's operations and belong to one of its operating segments. Therefore, the share in net earnings of equity accounted investments is now included in the operating margin.
The Group did not opt for early application of standards, interpretations and amendments not mandatory at January 1, 2015.
Current and deferred tax for the first six months of the year is determined based on an estimated annual tax rate, which is applied to profit before tax for the period excluding any material non-recurring items.
Post-employment benefit obligations for the period are considered to represent one half of the net obligation calculated for 2015 based on actuarial estimates and assumptions applied at December 31, 2014, after correction where necessary for any further employee downsizing plans and updated discount rates.
Plastic Omnium's operations are not seasonal in nature.
The preparation of the financial statements requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities. At June 30, 2015, estimates and assumptions that could lead to a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities mainly concerned deferred taxes and goodwill.
Goodwill is tested for impairment at each year-end and whenever there is objective evidence that it may be impaired. Impairment tests are based on value in use, which is calculated as the present value of future cash flows. The main assumptions used to determine the recoverable amounts of the Group's cash generating units (CGUs) at December 31, 2014 are described in the notes to the 2014 consolidated financial statements. Note than a 0.5-point increase in the discount rate or a 0.5-point decrease in the long-term growth rate would not have had any material impact on the outcome of impairment tests carried out at December 31, 2014.
No indications of impairment were identified by the Group during the period which was characterized by a sound level of activity and profitability and a solid outlook. As a result, no impairment tests were carried out at June 30, 2015.
Inauguration of the Lyon Gerland site took place on March 30, 2015. The project relates to the construction by the Group of 33,000 m2 of office buildings intended for rental purposes. The primary tenant, who has signed a lease for 2/3 of the offices, took occupation of the premises on April 1, 2015.
Total investment since the project began amounts to €80.8 million (excluding the value of the land), of which €7.2 million during the 1st half of 2015, €46.8 million during the 2014 fiscal year and €26.8 million during the 2013 fiscal year.
Following the opening of its new Research and Development Center for fuel systems, α-Alphatech, on September 1, 2014, the Group put its former technical center in the Oise region in France up for sale, as well as that in Laval in the Mayenne region in France (See Note 2.1 Investments in the Research and Development Center in the Consolidated financial statements at December 31, 2014).
The valuations of the two technical centers amount respectively to:
| a | June 30, 2015 |
|---|---|
| (in thousands of euros) | Amounts |
| Technical center in Compiègne in the Oise region in France | 846 |
| of which Land 167 | |
| of which Buildings, building improvements, fixtures and fittings 679 | |
| Technical center in Laval in the Mayenne region in France | 1,893 |
| of which Land 178 | |
| of which Buildings, building improvements, fixtures and fittings 1,715 | |
| Net assets held for sale | 2,739 |
The Group is divided into two operational sectors: Automotive and Environment.
The Group uses the notion of economic sales for its operational management, which corresponds to the consolidated sales of the Group and its joint ventures at their ownership percentage: German company HBPO a world leading manufacturer of front-end modules, Yanfeng Plastic Omnium a China's leading manufacturer of exterior body parts, BPO a major player on the Turkish market for exterior equipment, and Plastic Recycling a specialist plastic recycling company.
The columns in the tables below show the amounts for each segment. The "Unallocated items" column groups together inter-segment eliminations and amounts that are not allocated to a specific segment (e.g. holding company activities) so as to reconcile segment information to the Group's financial statements. Financial results, taxes and the share of profit/loss of associates are monitored by the Group and not allocated to the sectors. Inter-segment transactions are carried out on an arm's length basis.

Compagnie Plastic Omnium and some of its European and US subsidiaries have set up several receivables sales programs with French banks. These programs are due within more than two years on average:
These non-recourse programs transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the buyer, with only the non-material dilution risk retained by the Group, and the sold receivables are therefore derecognized.
Derecognized sold receivables totaled €288 million at June 30, 2015, compared with €235 million at December 31, 2014.
One program does not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the buyer; the sold receivables therefore continue to be carried in the balance sheet for €0.02 million at June 30, 2015, versus €0.2 million at December 31, 2014.

5.2.4.1. Net debt indicator used by the Group
Net debt is an important indicator for day-to-day cash management purposes. It is used to determine the Group's debit or credit position outside of its operating cycle. Net debt is defined as:
The Group's private placement notes, details of which are provided in the consolidated financial statements at December 31, 2014, are as follows:
Other financial assets comprise mainly loans, security deposits and surety bonds and negotiable debt securities. They are measured at amortized cost. Whenever there is any objective evidence of impairment – i.e. a negative difference between the carrying amount and the recoverable amount – an impairment provision is recognized through profit or loss. These provisions may be reversed if the recoverable amount subsequently increases.
Other financial assets also include short-term investment securities that do not fulfill the criteria to be classified as cash equivalents. They are measured at their fair value at the closing date, and changes in fair value are recognized in net financial income.
On February 24, 2015, the Group subscribed to two negotiable medium-term bank notes.

Interest rate hedges used by the Group included swaps and caps. Their purpose is to hedge variable rate debt against increases in interest rates.
The total notional amount of derivative instruments used to manage interest rate risks was €280 million at June 30, 2015 (€355 million at December 31, 2014).
The nominal value of cash-flow hedges as per IAS 39 amounted to €60 million at June 30, 2015 (€135 million at December 31, 2014), €75 million of interest rate swaps having reached maturity at June 30, 2015. Non-hedging instruments nonetheless form part of the Group's interest rate hedging strategy, as it obtains financing at variable rates of interest, in particular under the framework of its sales of receivables.
The derivatives are recognized in the balance sheet at fair value under "Hedging instruments" in assets and in liabilities.
For derivatives that qualify for hedge accounting under IFRS:
it is reclassified to the income statement in the same period in which the hedged cash flows (i.e. interest payments) affect profit;
the time value of options is excluded from the hedging relationship. Changes in the time value of options and the ineffective portion of the gain or loss on the hedging instrument are recognized in profit or loss;

Compagnie Plastic Omnium has set up a global cash management system with its subsidiary Plastic Omnium Finance, which manages liquidity, currency and interest rate risks on behalf of all subsidiaries. The market risks strategy, which may involve entering into balance sheet and off-balance sheet commitments, is approved every quarter by the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.
Plastic Omnium raises equity and debt capital on the markets to meet its objective of maintaining ready access to sufficient financial resources to carry out its business operations, fund the investments required to drive growth and respond to exceptional circumstances.
It seeks funding from the capital markets, leading to capital and financial liabilities management.
Under its capital management rules, the Group pays dividends to its shareholders and may adjust its strategy in line with changes in economic conditions.
The capital structure may also be adjusted by paying ordinary or special dividends, buying back and canceling Company shares, returning a portion of the share capital to shareholders or issuing new shares and/or securities carrying rights to shares.
The Group uses the gearing ratio – corresponding to the ratio of consolidated net debt to equity – as an indicator of its financial condition. Net debt includes all of the Group's interest-bearing financial liabilities (other than operating payables) less cash and cash equivalents and other financial assets (other than operating receivables), such as loans and marketable securities. At June 30, 2015 and at December 31, 2014, the gearing ratio was as follows:
| (in thousands of euros) | June 30, 2015 | December 31, 2014 |
|---|---|---|
| Net debt* | 353,541 | 389,537 |
| Equity (including non-current government grants) | 1,193,088 | 1,083,275 |
| Gearing ratio | 29.63% | 35.96% |
(*): See Note 5.2.4.5 "Reconciliation of gross and net debt".
None of the Group's bank loans or financial liabilities contains early repayment clauses based on compliance with financial covenants.
To support its capital management strategy, the Group has made the following changes to its liquidity agreements:
Compagnie Plastic Omnium ended the liquidity agreement signed with CM-CIC Securities, which at December 31, 2014 stood at 0 share and €1,393,432 in cash.
A new liquidity agreement (0 share and €3,000,000 in cash) was signed on January 2, 2015 by Compagnie Plastic Omnium with Kepler Capital Markets SA., with a one year term, renewable automatically. The agreement is compliant with the Code of Ethics drawn up by AMAFI (French Association of Financial Markets) and approved by the AMF (decision of March 21, 2011) and relates to the Compagnie Plastic Omnium ordinary shares.
Credit risk encompasses customer credit risk and bank counterparty risk.
At June 30, 2015, 8% of trade receivables were past due, unchanged from December 31, 2014.

The risk of non-recovery is low and involves only a non-material amount of receivables more than twelve months past due.
The Group invests its cash surplus with first class banks and/or in senior securities.
The Group needs access, at all times, to adequate financial resources not only to finance operations and the investments required to support its growth, but also to withstand the effects of any exceptional events.
This requirement is met primarily through medium-term bank lines of credit, but also through short-term bank facilities.
The cash position of each division and the Group position are reviewed on a daily basis and a cash report is submitted to the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Operating Officers every week.
Financial liabilities by maturity are calculated on the basis of the undiscounted contractual cash flows. An analysis of financial liabilities is as follows:

Satutory audior's review report on the half-yearly financial information
To the Shareholders,
In compliance with the assignment entrusted to us by your annual shareholders' meeting and in accordance with the requirements of article L. 451-1-2 III of the French monetary and financial code (Code monétaire et financier), we hereby report to you on:
These condensed half-yearly consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the board of directors. Our role is to express a conclusion on these financial statements based on our review.
We conducted our review in accordance with professional standards applicable in France. A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with professional standards applicable in France and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying condensed half-yearly consolidated financial statements are not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34 – standard of the IFRSs as adopted by the European Union applicable to interim financial information.
Without qualifying our conclusion, we draw your attention to the matter set out in note 1.1 to the condensed half-yearly consolidated financial statements on modifying presentation of the share in profit of companies consolidated by the equity method in the consolidated income statement.
We have also verified the information presented in the half-yearly management report on the condensed half-yearly consolidated financial statements subject to our review.
We have no matters to report as to its fair presentation and consistency with the condensed halfyearly consolidated financial statements.
