Commenting on the Group's results in the first half of 2014, Martin Bouygues, Chairman and CEO of the Bouygues group, said: "Although our operating performance reflects a more challenging economic and competitive environment in France, I believe that Bouygues has become stronger since the start of the year. Our construction businesses are increasing their international presence, Bouygues Telecom is successfully rolling out its aggressive strategy and Alstom will offer good growth and upside potential following the deal with General Electric. In addition, over the last six months the Group has once again proved its capacity to ensure its financial strength."
The Bouygues group reported consolidated sales of €15.2 billion in the first half of 2014, up 1% year-on-year. Growth in international sales, up 8% on the first half of 2013 to €5.0 billion, offset the decline in sales in France, down 3% on the first half of 2013 to €10.2 billion.
Current operating profit amounted to €134 million, €213 million less than in the first half of 2013, mainly due to the expected decline in profitability at Bouygues Telecom. Operating profit amounted to €523 million, up €176 million on the first half of 2013. It included a capital gain on the sale of a controlling interest in Eurosport International and non-current income at Bouygues Telecom. Net profit attributable to the Group amounted to €410 million, up €222 million on the first half of 2013, including a net capital gain of €240 million on the sale of Colas' stake in Cofiroute in the first quarter of 2014.
Although operating conditions were tougher in the first half of 2014, the Group managed to find the financial resources to withstand the decline in its profitability.
The order book at the construction businesses reached a high level of €28.0 billion at end-June 2014, up 3% yearon-year. The French market was tougher in the first half of 2014, with a slowdown in public-sector orders following the municipal elections, especially in roads, the scarcity of very large contracts and an increased waitand-see attitude on the residential property market. In contrast, business activity remained dynamic on international markets. International orders accounted for half of the total order book at Bouygues Construction and Colas, amounting to €12.9 billion at end-June 2014, up 15% year-on-year.
At Bouygues Construction, order intake came to €5.2 billion in the first half of 2014, up 2% year-on-year. The order book at end-June 2014 stood at €17.5 billion, 4% up on end-June 2013, and provides good visibility for future activity.
At Bouygues Immobilier, reservations in the first-half of 2014 amounted to €737 million, down 23% year-onyear. However, this is not representative of the anticipated full-year trend, since a number of commercial property projects and significant residential block sales are expected in the second half of the year. The order book at end-June 2014 stood at €2.2 billion.
At Colas, the order book rose 9% year-on-year and stood at €8.2 billion at end-June 2014, including €4.7 billion in international and French overseas territories markets, up 30% year-on-year, and €3.5 billion in mainland France, down 11% year-on-year. The share of the order book for execution beyond 2014 was up 35%, reflecting a longer order book, while orders for execution in 2014 were down 5% year-on-year.
Sales in the construction businesses were up 2% at €11.9 billion. They were driven by strong momentum in the international activities (up 9% year-on-year to €4.8 billion), which offset a decline in sales in France (down 2% year-on-year to €7.0 billion). Current operating profit amounted to €137 million, down €64 million on the first half of 2013. This was mainly due to the start of work on a number of major projects at Bouygues Construction, a tougher French roads market and an increase in the current operating loss at Colas' sales of refined products activity.

The audience share of the TF1 group's four freeview channels was stable in the first half of 2014 at 28.9%(2) . The TF1 TV channel's audience share increased significantly in the second quarter of 2014, up 0.8 points in comparison with the second quarter of 2013, due to the 2014 FIFA World Cup.
Sales in the first half of 2014 amounted to €1.2 billion, down 2% on the first half of 2013. Current operating profit over the same period amounted to €50 million. The €21 million decline versus the first half of 2013 reflected the cost of screening the 2014 FIFA World Cup, partly offset by savings from the optimisation plan. Operating profit in the first half of 2014 included a capital gain of €323 million on the sale of the 31% stake in Eurosport International and remeasurement of the residual interest (49%), amounting to €373 million (up €302 million in comparison with the first half of 2013).

Given the prospect of exponential growth in digital services, Bouygues Telecom is implementing an aggressive strategy with the aim of:
creating value by developing mobile data use;
pursuing growth in fixed broadband by making services and very-high-speed broadband accessible to as many people as possible;
This strategy was reflected in the company's commercial performance during the first six months of the year.
The company added 74,000 plan customers in the first half of 2014, bringing the total at end-June to 9,984,000. Over 70% of retail plan customers have subscribed to a value-added plan(1)and 16% of mobile customers use 4G(2) , compared with 9% at end-December 2013, representing 1.8 million customers.
For the third consecutive quarter, Bouygues Telecom is No. 1 in the fixed broadband(3) market in terms of net adds(4), acquiring 102,000 new customers in the second quarter of 2014, to give a total of 2,215,000 customers at end-June 2014.
As expected, first-half financial results were affected by ongoing repricing within the mobile customer base. Sales amounted to €2.2 billion and sales from network to €1.9 billion, down 5% and 8% respectively on the first half of 2013. EBITDA stood at €332 million, €137 million less than in the first half of 2013. The company reported a current operating loss of €41 million and operating profit of €44 million after factoring in non-current income of €85 million(5)related notably to litigation settlements, which offset the costs of the adaptation plan. The "EBITDA minus Capex" item turned positive in the second quarter of 2014, at +€12 million, versus -€17 million in the first quarter of the year.

As announced on 18 July 2014, Alstom's contribution to Bouygues' net profit is now booked only in the first and third quarters. Bouygues did not therefore book any contribution from Alstom in respect of the second quarter of 2014, compared with a contribution of €59 million in the second quarter of 2013.
Cash flow benefited from non-current income at Bouygues Telecom, while capital expenditure remained under tight control. Free cash flow(1) thus improved by €75 million in comparison with the first half of 2013 and stood at €230 million.
Net debt at end-June 2014 amounted to €5.2 billion, compared with €5.8 billion at end-June 2013 and €4.4 billion at end-December 2013. The difference in relation to end-December 2013 was due to the usual seasonal effect at Colas, but also to the proceeds from the sale of Cofiroute for €780 million and Eurosport International for €256 million, as well as a particularly unfavourable trend in the working capital requirement, not representative of the full-year.
The Group managed to find the financial resources to withstand the decline in current operating profit in the first half of 2014 and to ensure the strength of its financial structure.

BOUYGUES/ 2014 Half-year Review Half-year review of operations
Group sales are expected to be down very slightly in 2014, by between 1% and 2% in comparison with 2013.
The slowdown in public-sector orders in France remains a point to watch in the second half of the year. However, the construction businesses enjoy major strengths: strong momentum in their international activities, an order book that provides good visibility, the diversity of business activities and expertise, and a great capacity to adapt. As a result, their financial performance should remain robust in 2014.
In a low-visibility context on the advertising market, TF1 is continuing to transform its business model. Its results will be marked by two exceptional events: the 2014 FIFA World Cup and the sale of Eurosport International.
Bouygues Telecom has confirmed its target of generating a slightly positive "EBITDA(1) minus Capex" item in 2014 and is continuing to implement its aggressive strategy.
It has the necessary strengths to regain increased competitiveness, as early as 2016, in a market with four players:
1EBITDA = current operating profit + net depreciation and amortisation expense + net provisions and impairment losses - reversals of unutilised provisions and impairment losses
Commenting on the Group's results in the first half of 2014, Martin Bouygues, Chairman and CEO of the Bouygues group, said: "Although our operating performance reflects a more challenging economic and competitive environment in France, I believe that Bouygues has become stronger since the start of the year. Our construction businesses are increasing their international presence, Bouygues Telecom is successfully rolling out its aggressive strategy and Alstom will offer good growth and upside potential following the deal with General Electric. In addition, over the last six months the Group has once again proved its capacity to ensure its financial strength."

Bouygues Construction's sales rose 6% in the first half of 2014 to €5,558 million. Sales rose very strongly on international markets, up 14% to €2,649 million, and remained stable in France at €2,909 million. International sales growth accelerated in the second quarter, rising by 19% compared with 9% in the first quarter. Like-for-like and at constant exchange rates, adjusted for an unfavourable change in the scope of consolidation for €11 million and an unfavourable exchange rate effect for €34 million, the rise in sales was 7%.
Operating profit amounted to €180 million, giving an operating margin of 3.2%, compared with 3.9% in the first half of 2013, reflecting the start of work on several major projects. Financial income was up €5 million on the first half of 2013 at €15 million. The net margin in the first half of 2014 stood at 2.2%, compared with 2.5% in the first half of 2013, giving net profit attributable to the Group of €123 million, down €8 million on the first half of 2013.
Overall, demand for building and civil works remains high, driven by considerable infrastructure needs in both emerging and developed countries.
At Bouygues Construction, the building and civil works activity generated €4,812 million, of which €2,394 million in France and €2,418 million on international markets.
France: €2,394 million, the same as in the first half of 2013
Bouygues Construction's building activity in the Paris region thrived, driven by major functional projects such as the French Ministry of Defence, the Paris Philharmonic Hall and the Paris Law Courts complex, work on which restarted in April.
Business activity continued at a satisfactory level in the first half of 2014, especially as a result of private-sector orders. Public-sector orders booked in the first half of 2014 included the contract to renovate the Paris-Bercy sports stadium and the PPP contract for the 'City of Music' on Seguin Island in Boulogne-Billancourt.
Elsewhere in France, Bouygues Construction's five regional building subsidiaries held up well in a depressed economic environment. The construction of functional buildings helped to cushion the decline in activity, with demand for public healthcare infrastructure playing an important part. Despite the difficulties related to the crisis, activity was sustained by the start of works on a number of major projects for which orders were taken in 2013. They included the Tour Incity office building in Lyon, which will be the city's tallest tower, renovation of Bordeaux University, and five secondary schools in the Loiret department of central France under PPP contracts.
In civil works, the start of 2014 was marked by the order, in a consortium with Vinci and Demathieu Bard, for the viaduct on the Route du Littoral coastal highway on Reunion Island, which on completion will be France's longest viaduct.
Europe (excluding France): €954 million, up 9%
Activity in the UK was sustained by housing, including a three-tower complex in Southampton, a residential complex in Essex, a major residential and retail complex in south-east London and the start of work on the University of Hertfordshire campus, the first such operation in Europe to be financed by project bonds. Demand in Switzerland remained strong, especially on the housing market. Drawing on its expertise in putting together complex property development projects, Bouygues Construction continued to work on eco-neighbourhood projects in Gland, Basel and Lenzburg. The company also continued to expand in the German-speaking part of the country. In Central Europe, a number of local subsidiaries in Poland and the Czech Republic continued to expand their building activities. Elsewhere in Europe, the company is also involved in major infrastructure projects such as the new confinement shelter for the damaged nuclear reactor at Chernobyl in Ukraine, which is being built in partnership with Vinci, and Zagreb Airport in Croatia.
In Asia-Pacific, Bouygues Construction has strong local operations, especially in Hong Kong, Singapore and Turkmenistan. Civil works activity was very buoyant in Hong Kong, where several major projects are under construction. They include two sections of the rail tunnel for the Hong Kong to Guangzhou high-speed rail link, a section of the giant bridge linking Hong Kong, Zhuhai and Macao, and the Tuen Mun-Chek Lap Kok subsea road tunnel, the order for which was booked in 2013. Bouygues Construction remains a recognised player on the Asian building market, especially for high-rise structures. The company is building the Trade & Industry Tower in Hong Kong. A number of major residential complexes are under construction in Singapore and orders were taken for two new condominiums in the first half of 2014. In Bangkok, the company is building the MahaNakhon tower which, on handover, will be the capital's highest structure and took an order in the first half of 2014 for the new Australian Embassy complex. In Macao, Bouygues Construction started work on a luxury hotel. In Singapore, Bouygues Construction completed the giant Sports Hub, the world's largest sportsrelated PPP project, in June. In Australia, work continued on the construction of a tunnel and new railway lines in the west of Sydney. In Turkmenistan, two major projects are under construction in the capital Ashgabat. In Myanmar, Bouygues Construction continued work on its first project in the country, the second phase of the Star City residential complex in Rangoon.
In Africa, Bouygues Construction's building and civil engineering firms work together on major infrastructure projects. In Morocco, work continued on the second container port in Tangier. In Egypt, a new section of Line 3 of the Cairo metro came into service in the first half of 2014. In Ivory Coast, work continued on the Riviera Marcory bridge in Abidjan, one of the first concessions in West Africa. Orders were taken for two major functional projects in the first half of 2014: an extension of Ridge Hospital, one of the largest hospitals in Accra, the capital of Ghana, and the Jabi Lake Mall in Abuja, the capital of Nigeria.
In the Middle East, Bouygues Construction continued work on the Qatar Petroleum District, a vast complex in Doha.
Activity in the Americas/Caribbean region continued to grow rapidly. Bouygues Construction has longterm operations in Cuba, where it is a recognised specialist in the construction of turnkey luxury hotel complexes, such as Las Brujas hotel.
In the United States, the Miami port tunnel, built in the framework of a 35-year public-private partnership, was inaugurated in May 2014. In the same city, Bouygues Construction started work on the Brickell City Centre development. In Canada, the company continued work on a set of sporting facilities in Ontario for the 2015 Pan American Games and started work on Iqaluit International Airport in the country's Arctic north.
Bouygues Energies & Services contributed €746 million to Bouygues Construction's consolidated sales, 4% more than in the first half of 2013.
France: €515 million, up 2%
Bouygues Energies & Services started rolling out very-high-speed broadband networks in the Oise department to the north of Paris (first phase) and the Eure-et-Loir department in western France. Work continued on the public lighting contracts begun in 2011, especially the major energy performance contract with the City of Paris. In electrical and HVAC engineering, Bouygues Energies & Services started the design-build contract for a thermal power plant in the French part of the Caribbean island of Saint-Martin and the contract for mechanical and electrical equipment for the L2 Marseille bypass.
International: €231 million, up 9%
In Thailand, Bouygues Energies & Services started a five-year contract to operate and maintain three photovoltaic solar power plants. In Mozambique, it continued work on a high-voltage line. In electrical and HVAC engineering, Bouygues Energies & Services is involved in complex projects like an oil terminal in the Republic of Congo, handed over in the first half of 2014, the extension of a data centre in the UK and the construction and refurbishment of high-voltage substations at a refinery in Cameroon. In Canada, Bouygues Energies & Services provides facilities management for Surrey Hospital and the RCMP headquarters. The subsidiary also started hard and soft FM contracts with the Alstom group covering 20 facilities.
In a still-challenging economic environment, Bouygues Construction enjoys good visibility, backed up by:
Tight control over the execution of major projects and a selective approach to orders in the face of competitive pressure will continue to be central priorities for Bouygues Construction in 2014.

After a 1.4% drop in new housing sales in 2013, the market fell by a further 5% in the first half of 2014. Interest rates remain very low but the government action plan, with a target of building 500,000 new homes a year, has not yet had any noticeable effect. The number of reservations in 2014 is thus expected to run at around 85,0001 , compared with 87,700 in 2013, a decline of around 3%.
With the economy still sluggish, the commercial property market remained very slack. However, the takeup rate rose 24% in the first half of 2014 due to the completion of transactions held over from 2013.
In this tough environment, Bouygues Immobilier achieved sales of €1,192 million in the first half of 2014, 4% higher than in the first half of 2013, reflecting the company's commercial performance in 2011 and 2012. Sales in the commercial segment were up 21% and remained stable in the residential segment, rising by 1%.
The operating margin in the first half of 2014 was 6%, 1.3 points lower than in 2013, mainly due to pressure on the price of residential developments and promotional measures.

* Residential reservations are given net of withdrawals. Commercial property reservations are firm and may not be cancelled (notarised sales).
Residential property reservations in the first half of 2014 were down 7% in comparison with the first half of 2013. The decline was due to the general economic climate, a slowdown in the market caused by municipal elections and a wait-and-see attitude on the part of private investors in relation to expected government measures to boost new housing construction in France.
Commercial property reservations in the first half of 2014 amounted to €62 million, including the sale of a 6,478-m² office building in Grenoble to AG2R-La Mondiale.
Total reservations in the first half of 2014 amounted to €737 million, down 23% in comparison with the first half of 2013. However, they are not representative of the anticipated full-year order intake, since several commercial projects and significant residential block sales are expected in the second half of 2014.

Bouygues Immobilier's order book stood at €2,210 million at end-June 2014, representing 11 months of sales.
Unit residential property reservations are likely to remain stable. Bouygues Immobilier should increase its market share as a result of product differentiation (e.g. managed residences) and enhanced services offered to customers, such as option packs and adaptable housing.
With the growing recognition of green value, Bouygues Immobilier continues to be well-placed on the commercial property market: its highly energy-efficient Green Office® buildings and its Rehagreen® commercial property rehabilitation services package are perfectly suited to the increasingly stringent requirements of users and investors.
Bouygues Immobilier is continuing to pursue its objective of maintaining a robust financial structure and keeping debt under tight control.

Sales in mainland France fell by 7% in comparison with the first half of 2013, reflecting the contraction of the roads market in the second quarter following a slowdown in local authority spending after the municipal elections and a policy of preferring margins to volume when taking orders.
Sales in Europe rose 20% (18% like-for-like and at constant exchange rates), driven by strong growth in activity in Central Europe following the award of major motorway contracts in Hungary and Slovakia in the fourth quarter of 2013 and growth in Northern Europe.
Sales in North America appeared to drop by 3%, though this figure conceals a slight rise like-for-like and at constant exchange rates. Business was hit by poor weather throughout the period.
Sales in the Rest of the World declined by 6% but remained stable like-for-like and at constant exchange rates, rising in Asia/Australia, staying the same in French overseas departments and Africa and declining in the Indian Ocean.
Sales in the first half of 2014 were 4% lower in comparison with the first half of 2013. However, this overall decline masks differing situations between Colas' lines of business:
A significant proportion of Colas' activity, both in France and abroad, consists in the production of construction materials, especially aggregates, from an international network of 707 quarries and gravel pits, 566 asphalt plants, 138 emulsion plants and 205 ready-mix concrete plants. In the first half of 2014, 44 million tonnes of aggregates (0.8% less than in the first half of 2013), 14.4 million tonnes of asphalt mix (up 2%), 738,000 tonnes of binders and emulsions (up 3%) and 1.2 million cubic metres of ready-mix concrete (down 6%) were produced.
25
Colas reported a current operating loss of €114 million at 30 June 2014, compared with €87 million at 30 June 2013. This was due to tougher conditions on the roads market in mainland France and poorer results from specialised activities, including an operating loss of €30 million in the sales of refined products business at 30 June 2014. The operating loss was €7 million higher compared with 30 June 2013 (operating loss of €23 million at 30 June 2013 and €46 million at 31 December 2013).
The share of profits from joint ventures and associates amounted to €396 million, compared with €37 million at 30 June 2013. This includes a net capital gain of €385 million from the sale by Colas of its interest in Cofiroute, a motorway concessions company.
Net profit attributable to the Group at end-June 2014 amounted to €317 million, compared with a loss of €32 million at 30 June 2013.
Net debt at 30 June 2014 stood at €331 million. The change in relation to 31 December 2013 (net surplus cash of €31 million) reflects the usual seasonal nature of the business. It may be compared to a figure of €1,141 million at end-June 2013. The year-on-year improvement of €810 million is due mainly to the sale by Colas of its interest in Cofiroute, with €780 million being received on 31 January 2014.
The order book at end-June 2014 is at a high level, up 9% in comparison with end-June 2013 at €8.2 billion. However, although the order book on international and French overseas territories markets rose 30% to €4.7 billion, including the new Route du Littoral coastal highway contract, the order book in mainland France fell 11% to €3.5 billion, following a sharper drop in local authority spending after the municipal elections.
Roads
If order intake fails to pick up in the second half of the year, the decrease in sales in mainland France in 2014 could be higher than expected at the start of the year. Provided that good weather prevails in the second half of the year, sales at North American subsidiaries could be higher than in 2013 at constant exchange rates. Similarly, sales are likely to increase in Europe, especially Central Europe, and in the Rest of the World at constant exchange rates.
Specialised activities
After reviewing the situation of the production facility at Dunkirk belonging to SRD, a whollyowned subsidiary, Colas' Board of Directors reviewed various options that would stem recurrent losses. An extraordinary meeting of SRD's works council was held on 27 August.
On the basis of currently available data, and in particular given uncertainty as to the level of orders from local authorities in mainland France in the second half of the year, sales in 2014 could be 3% to 5% lower than in 2013 (€12.8 billion). Margins will be preferred to volume.

This figure comprises:
TF1's current operating profit at end-June 2014 amounted to €50 million compared with €71 million a year earlier and reflects costs of €56 million related to the 2014 FIFA World Cup. Recurrentsavings of €10 million were made in the first half of the year under phase II of the optimisation plan, bringing the total amount of savings since 2012 to €66 million.
Operating profit included a capital gain of €323 million from the sale of a 31% interest in Eurosport International and remeasurement of TF1's residual 49% stake. It thus amounted to €373 million in the first half of 2014, compared with €71 million in the first half of 2013.
Net profit attributable to the Group in the first half of 2014 amounted to €323 million, compared with €42 million in the first half of 2013.
TF1
BOUYGUES/ 2014 Half-year Review Half-year review of operations
a. Broadcasting
The group's four freeview channels turned in a very good performance, boosted by the screening of 2014 FIFA World Cup matches on TF1. The aggregate audience share at end-June 2014 amounted to 28.9% of individuals aged four and over, compared with 29.0% in the first half of 2013, a decline of 0.1 points. Among women aged under 50 who are purchasing decision-makers, the aggregate audience share amounted to 32.2%, compared with 32.5% in the first half of 2013. In the second quarter of 2014, the group's audience share amounted to 29.1% of individuals aged four years and over, up 0.7 points, and 32.3% of women under 50 who are purchasing decision-makers, up 0.3 points.
TF1 continued to be France's most-watched TV channel, taking an audience share of 22.9% of individuals aged four years and over, stable year-on-year. The audience share of women under 50 who are purchasing decision-makers was 24.3%, compared with 25.2% in the first half of 2013. TF1 achieved an audience share of 23.1% of individuals aged four years and over in the second quarter of 2014, up 0.8 points year-on-year, boosted by strong audience ratings for the 2014 FIFA World Cup.
TMC and NT1 held up well against a backdrop of increasingly fierce competition, taking 3.2% and 1.9% respectively of the audience of individuals aged four and over. The two channels performed even better in relation to their target audiences at end-June 2014, managing to stabilise their share of the audience of women under 50 who are purchasing decision-makers at 3.7% and 2.9% respectively. HD1 confirmed its status as leader among the six new HD channels in the first half of 2014, taking 0.9% of the audience of individuals aged four and over and 1.3% of women under 50 who are purchasing decision-makers.
Advertising revenue from the TF1 group's freeview channels in the first half of 2014 amounted to €721.0 million, a small year-on-year decline of 1% against a backdrop of broader supply due to the ramp-up of DTT channels and the absence of any significant upturn in demand. Total broadcasting revenue in the first half of 2014 thus amounted to €802.4 million, a year-on-year decline of 1.5%.
The cost of programmes on the TF1 group's four freeview channels at end-June 2014 amounted to €512.6 million, compared with €491.5 million a year earlier, a rise of €21.1 million. This includes €56 million related to the screening of 21 matches from the 2014 FIFA World Cup on TF1 in the second quarter. Stripping out sporting events, the cost of programmes at end-June 2014 thus showed a significant saving of €35 million.
Operating profit from broadcasting activities at end-June 2014, including €56 million of costs linked to the 2014 FIFA World Cup, amounted to €0.6 million, compared with €25.9 million a year earlier.
Sales in the Content business amounted to €63.7 million in the first half of 2014, a year-on-year increase of €32.1 million. The figure includes €30 million from the sub-licensing of 2014 FIFA World Cup rights. Current operating profit amounted to €10.9 million, compared with €2.7 million a year earlier.
TF1 Vidéo saw a 31.4% drop in sales in the first half of 2014 to €20.5 million but continued to break even, making an operating profit of €0.8 million. Téléshopping generated sales of €47.7 million, compared with €48.4 million a year earlier, a fall of 1.4% and current operating profit of €3.6 million, up €3.2 million on the previous year. TF1 Entreprises posted sales of €23.4 million in the first half of 2014, up 4.9% over the same period in the previous year. Current operating profit amounted to €2.6 million, up €0.9 million on the first half of 2013.
TF1 group theme channels generated sales of €29.8 million in the first half of 2014, 9.7% less than in the first half of 2013. The decline was due to a significant fall in advertising revenue caused by strong competition following the increase in the number of DTT freeview channels. Current operating profit fell by €0.3 million.
Eurosport France generated sales of €33.3 million in the first six months of 2014, 5.7% down on the first half of 2013, and reported a current operating loss of €1.5 million.
Eurosport International generated sales of €149.3 million in the first five months of 2014, 18% less than in the first half of 2013. Current operating profit amounted to €25.9 million over the same period. For information, in the Bouygues group's financial statements, Eurosport International's sales and operating profit were included in TF1's results until the sale of an additional 31% interest in Eurosport International to Discovery Communications on 30 May 2014. Since then, TF1's remaining 49% stake has been consolidated by the equity method.
Advertisers remain wary in the absence of any clear signs of economic recovery in France and it is unclear at present how advertising spend will evolve in the short to medium term. Competitive pressure is increasing as a result of market fragmentation and an increase in the amount of advertising on DTT channels.
TF1 continued to control costs. Under phase II of its optimisation plan, which calls for total recurrent savings of €85 million, the group has reiterated its target of securing recurrent savings of €19 million in the second half of 2014.
Results in 2014 will be marked by two exceptional events during the year: the 2014 FIFA World Cup and the sale of a controlling interest in Eurosport International.
For information, reported 2013 results have been restated for IFRS 10 and 11 and are comparable with the figures for 2014.
Bouygues Telecom is a major player in the French electronic communications market, committed to making ongoing advances in digital technology available to as many people as possible.

In a still-turbulent market in commercial terms, in both the mobile and fixed segments, Bouygues Telecom posted sales of €2,177 million in the first half of 2014, down 5% on the first half of 2013. The drop was due to lower sales from network, partially offset by a rise in the sales of handsets following the introduction of an option to pay for them in long-term instalments at the end of August 2013.
Sales from network amounted to €1,940 million, 8% less than a year previously. Sales continue to reflect commercial performance, the repricing2 of the retail plan subscriber base (76% of retail plan customers at end-June 2014, compared with 60% at end-December 2013) and the growing share of SIM-only plans.
Half-year EBITDA was down €137 million on the first half of 2013 due in particular to lower sales and a €30 million 4G licence fee related to the refarming of 1800 MHz.
The company reported a current operating loss of €41 million, down €132 million on the first half of 2013. Operating profit amounted to €44 million, including €85 million in non-recurring income as litigation settlements offset the costs of the adaptation plan. On 11 June 2014, Bouygues Telecom presented a transformation plan to its group works council which includes a reduction of 1,516 in the workforce.
The "EBITDA minus Capex" item was negative €5 million in the first half of 2014 but turned positive in the second quarter of the year, amounting to €12 million.
2 Number of retail customers subscribing to a plan whose price has been revised since April 2013 as a percentage of the total retail plan subscriber base.
Bouygues Telecom had 11 million mobile customers at 30 June 2014, nearly 10 million of them on plans. Growth in Bouygues Telecom's plan customer base, which started at the beginning of the year, continued over the period and included an increase in value-added plans3 , a strategic priority for the company. 16% of mobile customers were using 4G4 by end-June 2014, an increase of seven points on end-December 2013, and were using an average of 2GB of data a month.
The number of B&YOU mobile customers continues to rise, reaching nearly 2 million at end-June 2014, representing a year-on-year increase of 457,000 customers. Following the addition of 4G to B&YOU plans priced at €19.99 and €24.99/month, nearly 60% of customers now have a plan including 3GB or more of data.
Bouygues Telecom had over 2.2 million fixed broadband customers at end-June 2014, representing a net addition of 202,000 customers in the first half of 2014. For the third consecutive quarter, Bouygues Telecom led the market5 in terms of net adds in the fixed broadband segment in the second quarter of 2014.
This robust performance reflects the confirmed success of the new B&YOU fixed broadband offers priced at €15.99/month for double-play and €19.99/month for triple-play, against a background of fiercer competition from rivals offering many promotional deals. Bouygues Telecom had 368,000 very-high-speed6 customers at end-June 2014, 48,000 more than at end-June 2013.
In a still-turbulent business environment, Bouygues Telecom continues to transform itself and to adapt its offers to better meet market expectations.

Given the prospect of exponential growth in digital services, Bouygues Telecom is implementing an aggressive strategy with the aim of:
a. A long-term competitive advantage
A high-quality mobile network requires substantial resources in terms of spectrum. In 4G in particular, download speeds offered to customers are directly correlated to the quantity of frequencies available to the operator. Bouygues Telecom has therefore invested in a portfolio of frequencies that give the company a competitive advantage in order to implement its strategy of winning high-value customers. It has spent €1.6 billion on acquiring frequencies and pays an annual 4G licence fee of €70 million linked to the refarming of 1800 MHz frequencies. Bouygues Telecom now has almost a third of the available spectrum across all the frequency bands.
b. A cutting-edge mobile network
Anticipating a surge in data traffic linked to its strategy of winning high-value customers, Bouygues Telecom has invested in a complete modernisation of its mobile network. Since 2011, it has rolled out single RAN technology, which allows operators to support all existing mobile communication standards on one single network. The policy has paid off, enabling Bouygues Telecom to lead the 4G segment in terms of both coverage, with 70% of the population covered8 , and speed (up to 220 Mbps)9 , thanks to 4G+. Bouygues Telecom is continuing to innovate with the launch of 4G+, aggregating 1800 MHz and 800 or 2600 MHz frequencies. From 2015, Bouygues Telecom will also be able to offer its customers Ultra High Speed Mobile services by aggregating three frequency bands (800, 1800 and 2600 MHz for a total of 45 MHz available) with speeds of almost 300 Mbps, which competitors will find difficult to match, since they have made different technological choices.
a. A directly-owned network
Bouygues Telecom has rolled out its own fixed broadband network, accessible to 12 million households

in broadband and 1.1 million households in FTTH (horizontally and vertically connected sockets), enabling it to offer customers market-beating prices (€15.99, €19.99 and €25.99/month). Bouygues Telecom will accelerate the rollout of its directly-owned network in order to increase the number of customers who can benefit from these market-beating prices. Targets for coverage are 16 million households qualifying for broadband by the end of 2015 and 2 million for FTTH. In addition, agreements with SFR and Orange will ultimately enable the company to target a further 6.5 million customers.
b. Announcement of a technological innovation to be launched before the end of the year: the new Android TV box
Bouygues Telecom is preparing for a revolution: bringing together traditional television and web content, responding to the growing appetite for consumption on demand. In addition to the marketbeating prices announced since November 2013, Bouygues Telecom will launch a major technological innovation in the fourth quarter of 2014, in the shape of a new TV box developed in partnership with Google. The new TV box takes advantage of the large eco-system of Android developers, incorporating access to the three technologies concerned (DTT, IPTV and OTT) in the same device. It combines the best of television and the internet in a single interface, offering a comprehensive catalogue of applications (Google Play Store) and a suggestion engine based on user preference. Using latestgeneration tablet components plus the related volume effects, the new TV box will cost half as much to produce as the Bbox Sensation home gateway. As a result, Bouygues Telecom can offer customers an attractively priced premium package costing less than €30/month.
As part of its transformation process, Bouygues Telecom aims to help customers embrace the new uses of digital technology. This has involved redesigning stores, basing customer relations mainly in France and radically simplifying offers. Reducing the number of offers will also help to simplify business processes and automatically reduce the use of support functions such as marketing and IT. As a result, Bouygues Telecom will be able to adapt its cost structure to the fall in market value. The company aims to generate savings of €300 million by the end of 2016 in relation to the 2013 cost base, around half of which in 2015. A redundancy plan is being negotiated with employee representatives and could result in the workforce being reduced by about 1,500. The first redundancies can be envisaged in early November 2014. The effect of completing these transformations will be to make the company more dynamic and more agile.
Bouygues Telecom has confirmed its objective of generating a slightly positive "EBITDA minus Capex" item in 2014 and will continue to pursue its aggressive strategy.
The company has the necessary strengths to benefit from increased competitiveness, as of 2016, on a market with four operators:
Alstom, in which Bouygues has a 29.3% stake, is a world leader in power generation and transmission and in all the main segments of the railway industry.
Alstom released its financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2014 on 7 May 2014. During FY2013/14, Alstom took orders worth €21.5 billion, 10% less than in FY2012/13. Sales amounted to €20.3 billion, up 4% like-for-like and at constant exchange rates. Operating profit fell back 3% to €1,424 million, giving an operating margin of 7%. Net profit fell from €768 million10 in FY2012/13 to €556 million, mainly due to the effect of restructuring and financial charges, as well as some write-offs and provisions. Free cash flow turned positive at €340 million in the second half of FY2013/14, following a net outflow of €511 million in the first six months. At the Annual General Meeting held on 1 July 2014, Alstom's shareholders decided not to pay a dividend.
In a press release of 7 May 2014, Alstom stated that it had received a binding offer from General Electric (GE) to acquire its Power businesses. The scope of the proposed transaction included Thermal Power, Renewable Power and Grid Sectors. The proposed price represented an equity value of €12.35 billion. Alstom reserved the right to consider unsolicited offers for its Power businesses. On 20 June 2014, Alstom's Board of Directors received an updated offer from GE for the company's Power and Grid businesses. On the same date, it also received a revised offer from Siemens and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries.
On 21 June 2014, Alstom's Board of Directors announced that, on the basis of the report of a committee of independent directors and having taken financial and legal advice, it had unanimously decided to recommend GE's updated offer. It described the content of the offer. GE proposed acquiring Alstom's Thermal Power, Renewables and Grid Sectors for a firm and final price of €12.35 billion, corresponding to an enterprise value of €11.4 billion. After GE's acquisition of Alstom's Power businesses, GE and Alstom would establish joint ventures in Grid and Renewable Power. Alstom and GE would also create a 50/50 Global Nuclear and French Steam alliance, with the French government holding a preferred share giving it veto and other governance rights over issues relating to security and nuclear plant technology in France. Alstom's investment in these energy-related alliances is estimated at approx. €2.5 billion. Finally, GE also proposed the creation of a global alliance with Alstom in the railway sector in which GE would sell Alstom its signalling business and the two companies would conclude a set of cooperation agreements. Completion of the deal is subject to works council consultation, merger control and other regulatory clearances, including French foreign investment authorisation. The final decision is to be taken by Alstom's shareholders.
10 Adjusted for the impact of IAS 19 R
In order to support the plans announced by Alstom and General Electric, on 22 June 2014 Bouygues concluded an agreement with the French government which would allow the French government, or any other entity of its choice that it controls, to buy a part of the stake in Alstom owned by Bouygues. The main terms of the agreement are as follows. For a period of 20 months following the completion of all the operations announced by Alstom on 21 June 2014, the French government is to have a call option allowing it to acquire a maximum of 20% of Alstom's capital from Bouygues at the market price with a standard discount, on condition that the price is higher or equal to the equivalent of an adjusted price of €35 per share. At the end of the 20-month period, and for a period of eight trading days, a maximum of 15% of Alstom's capital will be able to be acquired at the market price with a standard discount. Bouygues, by lending its shares, will also allow the French government to exercise 20% of the voting rights in Alstom. Bouygues would be free to sell all or some of the promised shares provided that it had previously offered them to the Agence des Participations de l'État (French state shareholdings agency). These provisions are conditional on completion of all the transactions announced by Alstom on 21 June 2014. The parties will also use their best efforts, for a period of ten years from the signing of the agreement, to ensure that a director representing Bouygues and two directors representing the French government sit on Alstom's Board of Directors. Bouygues is also committed to voting in favour of the new legal rules instituting double voting rights at meetings of Alstom shareholders, which led it to vote against the 20th resolution put to Alstom's Annual General Meeting on 1 July 2014, since the resolution proposed to keep single voting rights. A detailed description of the agreement of 22 June 2014 is contained in AMF (French financial markets authority) decision No. 214C1292 issued on 3 July 2014, in which the AMF concludes that, considering the terms of the agreement, the French government and Bouygues are acting in concert with regard to Alstom.
This report contains forward-looking statements. Those statements, which express targets based on current assessments and estimates, are subject to the risks and uncertainties described below.
The main risks and uncertainties that the Group could face in the second half of 2014 are similar to those described in the 2013 Registration Document (pages 123 to 148).
In a ruling of 3 April 2014, the Paris Administrative Court of Appeal dismissed the petitions of the association "Justice dans la Cité", which had challenged the legality of various administrative decisions relating to the project for the new Paris District Court building. As a result, work could restart. "Justice dans la Cité" has appealed to the Council of State.
In Spain, Bouygues Immobilier's Spanish subsidiary has been involved in a dispute with Cafel Inversiones relating to the construction of a shopping centre at Oleiros. The dispute was brought before the International Court of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce during which both parties sought compensation. In an award of 31 January 2014, the arbitral tribunal ordered Bouygues Immobilier's Spanish subsidiary to pay Cafel Inversiones a net amount of €6.4 million. A provision for the award has been made in the financial statements at 30 June 2014.
In May 2014, the Council of State ordered further investigations in relation to litigation initiated by Fiducial TV in 2012 challenging the authorisation of six new TV channels, including HD1, which belongs to the TF1 group.
On 6 May and 22 July 2014, Bouygues Telecom lodged two appeals for abuse of power with the Council of State against the refusal of Arcep, the French telecommunications regulator, to define the conditions for ending Free Mobile's roaming arrangement. Bouygues Telecom is seeking cancellation of Arcep's decisions and an order requiring Arcep to define the conditions for the gradual extinction of roaming in order to pave the way for a final end to the roaming arrangement in January 2016.
Following the conclusion by Bouygues Telecom and SFR on 31 January 2014 of an agreement to share part of their mobile access networks, on 29 April 2014 Orange referred the agreement to the French competition authority on the grounds that it was anti-competitive. Orange asked the competition authority to issue a certain number of interim injunctions against Bouygues Telecom and SFR, including suspension of implementation of the agreement.
In a ruling of 18 June 2014, the Council of State dismissed Orange's appeal seeking cancellation of Arcep decision No. 2013-0514 of 4 April 2014 authorising Bouygues Telecom to use 1800 MHz frequencies in order to roll out a 4G network. Free Mobile had withdrawn its petition for cancellation.
During the first half of 2014, Bouygues Telecom concluded three preliminary agreements with Orange, SFR and Free Mobile respectively with a view to terminating a set of disputes in litigation and prelitigation.
In a ruling of 28 May 2014 relating to articles published by Le Canard Enchaîné concerning the award of the contract for the new French Defence Ministry headquarters in Paris, the Paris Court of Appeal upheld the ruling of the Paris District Court of 14 March 2012, recognising the libellous nature of five allegations and finding that the newspaper had failed to provide proof. However, the same ruling also found that the journalists had acted in good faith and therefore dismissed Bouygues' petitions.
No related-party transactions liable to materially affect Bouygues' financial situation or results were concluded in the first half of 2014. Likewise, no change to related-party transactions liable to materially affect Bouygues' financial situation or results occurred during that period. Under the terms of agreements approved by the Board of Directors and the Annual General Meeting, Bouygues provided services to its subgroups, mainly in the areas of management, human resources, information systems and finance.
More detailed information about related-party transactions is given in Note 14 of the notes to the condensed consolidated first-half financial statement.
In early July 2014, a consortium comprising Bouygues Travaux Publics, a subsidiary of Bouygues Construction, the lead firm, and companies in the Solétanche Bachy group concluded a contract worth €164.9 million for the second tunnel package of the Line 14 extension of the Paris metro. In early July, Bouygues Construction also announced a contract worth more than €80 million for the construction of two buildings at Strasbourg Hospital.
In July, Bouygues Energies & Services acquired a majority interest in Plan Group, a Canadian technical services provider (mechanical and electrical contracting, maintenance and technical services, building automation systems and network infrastructure) which has most of its operations in Ontario.
On 18 July 2014, Bouygues announced that Alstom's contribution to Bouygues' net profit would henceforth be booked only in respect of Bouygues' first and third quarters and would be calculated from the half-year net results reported by Alstom (closing dates 31 March and 30 September). According to this new method, Alstom's contribution to Bouygues' net profit in the first quarter of 2014 came to €53 million and was calculated from the net profit posted by Alstom in the second half of 2013/14, bearing in mind that Bouygues did not book a contribution from Alstom in the fourth quarter of 2013. Bouygues did not book a contribution from Alstom for the second quarter of 2014 (it had booked a contribution of €59 million in the second quarter of 2013). The contribution from Alstom booked by Bouygues in the third quarter of 2014 is to be calculated on the basis of Alstom's results for the first half of 2014/15, to be reported on 5 November 2014. Bouygues is not to book a contribution from Alstom in the fourth quarter of 2014.
On 29 July 2014, the French media regulator, CSA, issued its decision not to allow LCI to migrate to freeview TV. LCI is examining a possible recourse to legal proceedings in the competent courts.
On 4 August 2014, following reports in the press, Bouygues issued a statement recalling that Bouygues Telecom was continuing to implement its transformation plan announced on 11 June 2014 aimed at securing an independent future. It further stated that the Bouygues group had not to date received any takeover bid for its subsidiary Bouygues Telecom.
On 23 July 2014, Alstom published figures relating to order intake and sales in the first quarter of FY2014/15. Between 1 April and 30 June 2014, Alstom booked orders worth €8.2 billion, twice the level in the first quarter of the previous year. Sales, at €4.3 billion, were down 1% like-for-like and at constant exchange, affected by the lower level of order intake in previous quarters at Thermal Power and Renewable Power (down 10% like-for-like) and Grid (down 5% like-for-like). Sales at Transport increased strongly, rising by 17% like-for-like and at constant exchange rates. The order book stood at €56 billion at 30 June 2014, representing 33 months of sales.

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements of Bouygues and its subsidiaries (the "Group") for the six months ended 30 June 2014 were prepared in accordance with IAS 34, "Interim Financial Reporting", a standard issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and endorsed by the European Union. Because they are condensed, these financial statements do not include all the information required under the standards issued by the IASB, and should be read in conjunction with the full-year financial statements of the Bouygues group for the year ended 31 December 2013.
They were prepared in accordance with the standards issued by the IASB as endorsed by the European Union and applicable as of 30 June 2014. These standards comprise International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs), International Accounting Standards (IASs), and interpretations issued by the IFRS Interpretations Committee – previously the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC), itself the successor body to the Standing Interpretations Committee (SIC). The Group has not early adopted as of 30 June 2014 any standard or interpretation not endorsed by the European Union.
The financial statements are presented in millions of euros (unless otherwise indicated) and comprise the balance sheet, the income statement, the statement of recognised income and expense, the statement of changes in shareholders' equity, the cash flow statement, and the notes to the financial statements.
The comparatives presented are from the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2013, and from the interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months ended 30 June 2013.
1,048 entities were consolidated as of 30 June 2014, compared with 1,126 as of 31 December 2013. The net reduction of 78 entities includes the deconsolidation of entities set up for property copromotion programmes (Sociétés Civiles Immobilières – SCIs) and construction project companies (Sociétés en Participation – SEPs) on project completion (mainly in the construction segment). It also includes the divestment at the end of May 2014 of 17 entities in the Eurosport International business.

The principal acquisitions and corporate actions of the first half of 2014 are presented below in chronological order:
On 21 January 2014, Discovery Communications and the TF1 group signed an agreement for Discovery Communications to acquire a controlling interest in the Eurosport International group (the Eurosport group excluding Eurosport France) via a deepening of the broad strategic partnership between the two groups that began in December 2012. The deal, which enabled Discovery Communications to increase its interest in the capital of Eurosport SAS (the parent company of the Eurosport group) by raising its stake from 20% to 51%, took place nearly a year earlier than the date envisaged in the initial agreement of December 2012. TF1 is to retain its 80% interest in Eurosport France at least until 1 January 2015.
Final clearance was obtained from the competent authorities in April 2014, and completion of the sale of an additional 31% interest in Eurosport SAS to Discovery Communications took place on 30 May 2014.
The acquisition by Discovery Communications of the additional 31% interest was based on an enterprise value of €902 million for the Eurosport group, before deducting the valuation of Eurosport France (€85 million). These valuations were increased by the amount of net surplus cash held by the entities at the transaction closing date.
In addition, TF1 retains the possibility of exercising its put option over its residual 49% stake, which could increase the interest held by Discovery Communications to 100%. This 49% stake is recognised in "Investments in joint ventures and associates" as of 30 June 2014, at a carrying amount of €489 million.
Following the transactions completed in the first half of 2014 (purchase of an additional 31% interest in Eurosport SAS from TF1 by Discovery Communications, and activation of TF1's put option over its residual 49% stake), the total amount of off balance sheet commitments under the agreements with Discovery Communications was €622 million as of 30 June 2014, compared with €504 million as of 31 December 2013 (see Note 13 to the financial statements).
For accounting purposes, the assets and liabilities of Eurosport International are presented in the balance sheet as of 31 December 2013 in the line items "Held-for-sale assets and operations" and "Liabilities related to held-for-sale operations", in accordance with the policies described in Note 2.2. However, the results of Eurosport International for the first five months of 2014 are not classified as being from a held-for-sale operation because Eurosport International does not meet the definition of (i) a cash generating unit for goodwill impairment testing purposes or (ii) an operation that is material to the Group.
The sale of the 31% additional interest to Discovery Communications and the remeasurement of the residual 49% stake following loss of control generated a pre-tax gain of €308 million, reported in "Other operating income" (see Note 10 to the financial statements).
The outcome of this strategic rethinking of Bouygues Telecom's future is a project to streamline the company's structures, processes and offerings so as to restore transparency and flexibility in a changed market. This transformation would result in a headcount reduction of 1,516, a provision for which was recognised in "Other operating expenses" as of 30 June 2014 (see Note 10 to the financial statements).
Consequently, Bouygues retains significant influence over Alstom via its equity interest, which will continue to be accounted for by the equity method. The promises to sell represent reciprocal off balance sheet commitments.
The principal acquisitions and corporate actions of the first half of 2013 are presented below:
Consolidated sales for the first half of 2014 were €15,182 million, virtually unchanged from the first half of 2013 (€15,094 million).
The Group is not aware of any significant post balance sheet events.
The Bouygues group is a diversified industrial group, with operations in more than 80 countries.
The Group's businesses are organised into a number of sectors of activity:
The financial statements of the Bouygues group include the financial statements of Bouygues SA and its subsidiaries, its investments in associates and joint ventures, and its joint operations. The financial statements are presented in millions of euros, the currency in which the majority of the Group's transactions are denominated, and take account of the recommendations on the presentation of financial statements (Recommendation 2009-R-03) issued on 2 July 2009 by the Conseil National de la Comptabilité – CNC (now called Autorité des Normes Comptables – ANC), the French national accounting standard-setter.
They were adopted by the Board of Directors on 27 August 2014.
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months ended 30 June 2014 were prepared in accordance with IFRS using the historical cost convention, except for certain financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value where this is a requirement under IFRS. They include comparatives as of and for the year ended 31 December 2013 and the six months ended 30 June 2013.
The Bouygues group applied the same standards, interpretations and accounting policies for the six months ended 30 June 2014 as applied in its financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2013, except for changes required to meet new IFRS requirements applicable from 1 January 2014 as described below.
IFRS 10 replaces the provisions about consolidated financial statements previously included in IAS 27, "Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements" and SIC 12 "Consolidation – Special Purpose Entities"; it also redefines the concept of control over an entity.
Under this new standard, joint arrangements over which two or more parties exercise joint control are accounted for on the basis of the rights and obligations of each of the parties to the arrangement, taking account of factors such as the structure and legal form of the arrangement, the contractual terms agreed to by the parties to the arrangement and, when relevant, other facts and circumstances:
IFRS 11 applies principally to Bouygues group joint arrangements set up for various property co-promotion programmes (Sociétés Civiles Immobilières – SCIs); various contracts carried out by construction project companies in the form of Sociétés en Participation – SEPs (a form of silent partnership under French law) or other legal forms; and various companies that operate quarries or emulsion plants (see Note 3.6 to the financial statements).
IFRS 12 establishes the disclosure requirements relating to interests held in subsidiaries, joint arrangements, associates, and/or unconsolidated structured entities. This standard will apply to the Group for the first time in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2014, and will require new disclosures in the notes to the financial statements. Some of the information required under IFRS 12 is disclosed in the interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months ended 30 June 2014 in order to enable users to interpret the consolidated financial statements correctly.
The main impacts identified arise from the first-time application of IFRS 10, "Consolidated Financial Statements" and IFRS 11, "Joint Arrangements", and more specifically from the fact that the joint ventures in which the Group has an interest will be accounted for by the equity method, rather than by the proportionate consolidation method as of present.
The joint ventures affected by the first-time application of these new standards are mainly those relating to contracting and industrial companies held jointly by Colas and a partner, which will be accounted for by the equity method from 1 January 2014. The impact of the retrospective application of these standards as of 1 January 2013, for the year ended 31 December 2013 and for the first half of 2013, is presented in Note 15 to the consolidated financial statements.
A number of difficulties relating to the application of IFRS 11 have been referred to the IFRS Interpretations Committee. The Group will take account of any future clarifications in its consolidated financial statements.
This interpretation was endorsed by the European Union on 13 June 2014, and was not early adopted by the Bouygues group with effect from 1 January 2014. The effects of IFRIC 21, which is mandatorily applicable from 1 January 2015, will relate to the timing of the recognition of certain levies (such as C3S and IFER) during interim accounting periods.
Other key standards, amendments and interpretations issued by the IASB but not yet endorsed by the European Union.
On May 28, 2014, the IASB issued a new standard on revenue recognition intended to replace most of the current IFRS pronouncements on this subject, in particular IAS 11 and IAS 18. The new standard, which has not yet been endorsed by the European Union, is applicable from January 1, 2017 with early adoption permitted.
The impact of IFRS 15, which has not been early adopted by the Group, is currently under review.
Seasonal fluctuations
Sales and operating profit are subject to significant seasonal fluctuations due to low activity levels during the first half, primarily at Colas due to weather conditions. The extent of these fluctuations varies from year to year. In accordance with IFRS, sales for interim accounting periods are recognised on the same basis as full-year sales.
Elective accounting treatments and estimates used in the valuation of certain assets, liabilities, income and expenses:
Preparing consolidated financial statements to comply with IFRS standards and interpretations requires the use of estimates and assumptions which may have affected the amounts reported for assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities at the balance sheet date, and the amounts of income and expenses reported for the period.
These estimates and assumptions have been applied consistently on the basis of past experience and of various other factors regarded as reasonable forming the basis of assessments of the valuations of assets and liabilities for accounting purposes. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates if different assumptions or conditions apply.
The main items involved are the impairment testing of goodwill and equity investments, sharebased payment (stock options), employee benefits (lump-sum retirement benefits, pensions, etc.), the fair value of unlisted financial instruments, deferred tax assets, and provisions.
Where no standard or interpretation applies to specific transactions, events or conditions, Group management exercises its judgement to define and apply accounting policies that will provide relevant information that gives a fair presentation and is comparable between periods, such that the consolidated financial statements:
Disclosures about judgements made by management are provided in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.
Held-for-sale assets and discontinued or held-for-sale operations:
A non-current asset, or a group of directly-associated assets and liabilities, is regarded as being held for sale if its carrying amount will be recovered primarily through a sale rather than through continuing use. For this to be the case, the asset must be available for sale in its immediate condition, and its sale must be highly probable. Such held-for-sale assets or asset groups are measured at the lower of the carrying amount or the estimated selling price less costs to sell.
A discontinued or held-for-sale operation is one that is material to the Group (having been treated as a cash generating unit) and that has either been disposed of or has been classified as a heldfor-sale asset. Income statement and cash flow information about such discontinued or held-forsale operations is reported in separate line items in the consolidated financial statements for all periods presented.
Companies over which Bouygues exercises control are consolidated by the full consolidation method.
Assessment of exclusive control over TF1:
As of 30 June 2014, Bouygues held 43.5% of the capital and voting rights of TF1. Exclusive control by Bouygues over TF1 is demonstrated by the following:
Other factors indicating the existence of exclusive control include:
All these factors clearly establish that Bouygues exercises exclusive control over TF1.
A joint venture or joint operation is a contractual arrangement whereby two or more parties undertake an economic activity which is subject to joint control. In the case of joint operations (which give each party direct rights over the assets and obligations for the liabilities), the assets, liabilities, income and expenses of the joint operation are accounted for in accordance with the interests held in the joint operation. Joint ventures, which give the parties rights over the net assets, are accounted for using the equity method.
An associate is a company over which Bouygues exercises significant influence without exercising control. Significant influence is presumed to exist where Bouygues directly or indirectly holds at least 20% of the entity's voting rights.
The net profit or loss and the assets and liabilities of such entities are accounted for by the equity method.
Alstom: Bouygues exercises significant influence over Alstom, as demonstrated by its 29.3% interest in the capital and its control of two seats on the Board of Directors.
As of 30 June 2014, the investment in Alstom is reported under "Investments in joint ventures and associates" and accounted for by the equity method; it is carried at net acquisition cost (including goodwill) plus any net profit contribution for the period, giving a total carrying amount (net of a €1,404 million impairment loss as of 30 June 2014) of €3,094 million (including €1,106 million of goodwill).
Given the time-lag between the half-year accounting period-ends of Alstom (30 September) and of Bouygues (30 June), no share of Alstom's profits or losses has been recognised by Bouygues for the second quarter of 2014 pending publication by Alstom of its half-year financial statements. The share of Alstom profits recognised by Bouygues for the six months ended 30 June 2014 is €53 million (representing the contribution from Alstom for the six months ended 31 March 2014, as recognised by Bouygues in the first quarter of 2014). This compares with the €117 million share of Alstom profits recognised by Bouygues in the six months ended 30 June 2013 (€58 million in the first quarter and €59 million in the second quarter).
53
Amortisation of fair value remeasurements of Alstom's identifiable intangible assets and other items had a negative impact of €6 million on net profit attributable to the Bouygues group for the six months ended 30 June 2014.
Concession arrangements and Public-Private Partnership (PPP) contracts:
The Bouygues Construction group enters into concession arrangements and PPP contracts with local authorities via entities in which the Group holds an equity interest, generally of less than 20%. Given the effectively limited role of the Group in these entities, they are not consolidated. Equity interests in concession operating entities are in the majority of cases accounted for as associates by the equity method, or otherwise are not consolidated.
In accordance with IAS 39, equity investments in non-consolidated companies are measured at fair value.
With effect from 1 January 2010, business combinations have been accounted for in accordance with the revised IFRS 3 and IAS 27, which use the concept of "obtaining control" in determining the accounting treatment to be applied to acquisitions or disposals of equity interests; depending on the circumstances, the impacts of such acquisitions and disposals are recognised either in profit or loss or in equity.
In a business combination, the fair value of the consideration transferred is allocated to the identifiable assets and liabilities of the acquiree, which are measured at fair value at the acquisition date and presented in the balance sheet using the full fair value method in accordance with IFRS 3. This method involves remeasuring the assets and liabilities acquired at fair value in full (including noncontrolling interests), rather than remeasuring just the percentage interest acquired.
The revised IFRS 3 allows entities to elect one of two methods of accounting for non-controlling interests in each business combination:
Fair value is the amount for which an asset or Cash Generating Unit (CGU) could be sold between knowledgeable, willing parties in an arm's length transaction.
Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of a business combination over the acquirer's interest in the fair value of the acquiree's identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities that can be reliably measured at the acquisition date; non-controlling interests are either measured at fair value or not, depending on the option elected (see above). Goodwill is allocated to the CGU benefiting from the business combination or to the group of CGUs at the level of which return on investment is measured (business segment for the Bouygues group).
The purchase price allocation period is limited to the time required to identify and measure the acquired entity's assets and liabilities, the non-controlling interests, the consideration transferred and the fair value of any previously-held equity interest, subject to a maximum period of 12 months.
Negative goodwill (i.e. gain from a bargain purchase) is taken to the income statement in the period in which the acquisition is made.
Subsequently, goodwill is carried at cost net of any impairment losses identified annually using the methods described in the sections on impairment testing in Note 2.7. below, in accordance with IAS 36. Impairment losses are charged to the income statement as an operating item.
In accordance with the revised IFRS 3, any previously-held equity interest is remeasured at fair value at the date on which control is obtained, with the resulting gain or loss recognised in profit or loss for
the period. In the event of loss of control, the retained equity interest is also remeasured at fair value; the gain or loss on remeasurement is recognised in profit or loss for the period, along with the gain or loss arising on the disposal.
In the event of a change in percentage interest with no effect on control, the difference between the consideration transferred and the carrying amount of the non-controlling interest is recognised directly in equity attributable to the Group. Consequently, no additional goodwill is recognised.
All acquisition-related costs are recognised as an expense in profit or loss for the period.
In the event of a partial divestment of the component operations of a Cash Generating Unit (CGU), the Bouygues group usually allocates the goodwill in proportion to the value of the divested operation relative to the value of the CGU as measured at the date of divestment in accordance with the IFRS 7 hierarchy of valuation methods, unless it can be demonstrated that another method better reflects the goodwill of the divested operation; this policy complies with paragraph 86 of IAS 36.
Goodwill recognised prior to 1 January 2004 continues to be measured using the partial fair value method. This method involves restricting the fair value remeasurement of identifiable items to the percentage interest acquired. Non-controlling interests in these items are measured on the basis of the carrying amount of the items as shown in the balance sheet of the acquired entity.
Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are translated into euros at the average exchange rate on the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the balance sheet date are translated at the closing exchange rate. Translation differences are recognised as income or expenses in the income statement. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies and accounted for at historical cost are translated using the exchange rate on the date of the transaction.
All assets and liabilities of consolidated entities with a functional currency other than the euro are translated at the closing exchange rate. Income and expenses are translated at the average exchange rate for the period. Translation differences arising from this treatment, and arising from the retranslation of a subsidiary's opening shareholders' equity at the closing exchange rate, are taken to the translation reserve (which is a component of consolidated shareholders' equity). Translation differences arising on the net investment in foreign subsidiaries and associates are recognised in shareholders' equity.
Income taxes of consolidated entities for interim periods are assessed in accordance with IAS 34: the income taxes of each entity are recognised on the basis of the best estimate of the average annual effective income tax rate for the financial year (except in the case of holding companies, which recognise income taxes on the basis of the actual tax position at the end of the period).
Deferred taxation is recognised on differences between the carrying amount and tax base of assets or liabilities, and arises as a result of:
Deferred taxes are measured using known applicable national tax rates for the relevant country as of the balance sheet date.
Deferred taxes are not discounted, and are reported in non-current assets and liabilities.
In determining the recoverable amount, intangible assets to which independent cash flows cannot be directly allocated are grouped within the Cash Generating Unit (CGU) to which they belong, or within the appropriate group of CGUs representing the lowest level at which management monitors return on investment (business segment level in the case of the Bouygues group). The recoverable amount of CGUs is measured as follows:
The recoverable amount of the assets of the CGU as determined above is then compared with their carrying amount in the consolidated balance sheet. If this carrying amount is greater than the recoverable amount of the CGU, an impairment loss is recognised. Any such losses are allocated in the first instance to any goodwill carried in the balance sheet, and may not be subsequently reversed.
Information about impairment testing of goodwill as of 30 June 2014:
The goodwill recognised for TF1, Bouygues Telecom and Colas as of 30 June 2014 has not been subject to further impairment testing.
This transformation plan follows on from measures implemented at the start of 2012 that generated €599 million of savings in the mobile business between the end of 2011 and the end of 2013. The new plan, which does not materially alter the normative cash flows estimated at the time of preparation of the 2013 full-year financial statements, is intended to streamline Bouygues Telecom's structures, processes and offerings and to generate annual savings of €300 million from 2016 onwards.
As regards TF1, the recoverable amount used for goodwill impairment testing purposes as of 31 December 2013, determined on the basis of the quoted market price plus a control premium, exceeded the carrying amount. This situation is not affected by the fall in the quoted share price of TF1 shares during the first half of 2014, insofar as the recoverable amount determined on the basis of future cash flows as per the most recently available business plan (prepared at the end of 2013) still exceeds the carrying amount of the investment in TF1. This recoverable amount will be reassessed once TF1 management has prepared a new business plan.
Because goodwill included in the carrying amount of a joint venture or associate is not reported separately, it is not tested separately for impairment, in line with IAS 36. An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of the investment exceeds its recoverable amount; this loss is charged against the carrying amount of the investment, and may be reversed.
The investment in Alstom is tested for impairment by comparing its carrying amount with its recoverable amount, determined by reference to value in use as derived from cash flow projections established by Bouygues management, which in turn are based on forecasts prepared by a panel of financial analysts.
Information about impairment testing as of 30 June 2014:
In the absence of any evidence of impairment since the last test was performed for the purposes of the 2013 full-year financial statements, the carrying amount of the investment as of 30 June 2014 has not been subject to further impairment testing.
Note 3.4 to the financial statements includes a table showing the consolidated carrying amount of listed shares held by Bouygues (TF1, Alstom, Colas) relative to the closing quoted share price as of 30 June 2014.
The consolidated cash flow statement is presented in accordance with IAS 7 and with CNC (now ANC) Recommendation 2009-R-03 of 2 July 2009, using the indirect method.
The net profit of consolidated entities is adjusted to eliminate the impact of transactions with no cash effect, and of income and expenses related to investing or financing activities.
Cash flow is defined as consolidated net profit before: net depreciation and amortisation expense, net changes in provisions and impairment losses, gains and losses on asset disposals, cost of net debt (included in financing activities in the cash flow statement), and net income tax expense for the period.
The cash flow statement explains changes in the Group's net cash position, which is defined as the net total of the following balance sheet items:
EBITDA is defined as current operating profit excluding net depreciation and amortisation expense and changes in provisions, and impairment losses (after reversals of utilised and non-utilised provisions and of impairment losses).
The competitiveness and employment tax credit to which French companies are entitled is recognised in current operating profit, as a reduction in personnel costs.
The main components of current operating profit included in the line items "Other income from operations" and "Other expenses on operations" are net foreign exchange differences on commercial transactions, gains and losses on disposals of non-current assets, profits and losses from joint operations, royalties on the licensing of patents, and (in the case of Colas) revenue from sales of raw material (bitumen) to coating and emulsion entities in the form of Sociétés en Participation (SEPs) or economic interest groupings that subsequently sell such coatings and emulsions on to Colas.
Free cash flow is defined as cash flow (determined after cost of net debt and net income tax expense, but before changes in working capital), minus capital expenditure (net of disposals) for the period.
This represents the aggregate of:
The Bouygues group presents a statement of recognised income and expense, disclosing a comparative net profit figure on the line "Total recognised income and expense" which includes income and expenses recognised directly in equity.
Changes in the scope of consolidation during the six months ended 30 June 2014 did not have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements presented for that period, and do not impair comparisons with the consolidated financial statements for the six months ended 30 June 2013.

To the Shareholders,
In compliance with the assignment entrusted to us by your Annual General Meetings 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.
We have also verified the information presented in the half-yearly management report on the condensed halfyearly consolidated financial statements subject to our review.
We have no matters to report as to its fair presentation and consistency with the condensed half-yearly consolidated financial statements.
