1 End of period

In the first quarter of 2013, in a challenging economic and competitive environment, the Bouygues group put in a good commercial performance and stepped up its adaptation plans. As every year, first-quarter operating results do not reflect full-year performance and do not change the Group's outlook for 2013.

Net debt is under control, leading to an improvement in net gearing. The Group has a high level of liquidity (€8.7 billion) and an evenly-spread debt repayment schedule.

Good commercial performance

Order intake at Bouygues Construction was good. The company booked orders worth €2.8 billion, comparable to the first quarter of 2012 excluding the €823-million Paris Law Courts contract.

The order book at end-March 2013 was up 4% year-on-year to €17.3 billion, with international contracts accounting for 43%, thus giving good visibility on future activity.

Reservations at Bouygues Immobilier were satisfactory, rising 7% to €437 million, although market conditions remained tough as expected. Residential property reservations rose 4% to €306 million in a market in which individual investors are reluctant to participate. Commercial property reservations again reflected Bouygues Immobilier's green property expertise, rising 13% to €131 million.

The order book at end-March 2013 stood at €2.9 billion, 4% lower than at end-March 2012, representing 14 months' sales.

Colas made a good start to the year. The order book at end-March 2013 grew 4% year-on-year to €7.5 billion, up 12% in mainland France and down 4% on international markets. The railway business continued to expand with the conclusion of two major contracts: the RFR rapid transit rail network in Tunis for €86 million and Morocco's first high-speed rail line for €124 million, the latter not being included in the order book at end-March 2013.

Overall, the order book for the construction businesses at end-March 2013 was excellent, reaching €27.8 billion, up 3% versus end-March 2012.

At TF1, viewing figures for the group's four freeview TV channels continued to rise over the first three months of the year, reaching an audience share of 29.6%1 , up 1.1 points year-on-year. The audience share of the core TF1 TV channel rose 0.6 points to 23.5%1 versus first-quarter 2012.

In the first quarter of 2013, the mobile market saw strong growth in entry-level Sim-Only/Web-Only plans and significant cuts in the price of plans with services. In this context, Bouygues Telecom showed good commercial resilience, gaining 20,000 new mobile customers and 190,000 new plan customers. B&YOU continued its momentum, attracting 335,000 new customers bringing its total customer base to 1,413,000 at end-March 2013.

Bouygues Telecom continued to grow on the fixed broadband market, signing up 68,000 new customers under the Bouygues Telecom brand and acquiring 45,000 customers overall in the first quarter of 2013, giving a base of 1.9 million subscribers2 .

Adaptation plans stepped-up

In keeping with 2012, the Bouygues group proved itself highly responsive, rolling out major adaptation plans.

The reorganisation of Colas' roads activity in France is being implemented according to plan.

TF1 is stepping up implementation of Phase II of its optimisation plan aimed at generating €85 million of recurrent savings in 2014. In response to the deteriorating advertising market in the first quarter, further cost reductions are being prepared to benefit 2013.

At Bouygues Telecom, the measures taken in 2012 will secure savings of €400 million in the mobile business in 2013, instead of the €300 million initially planned. The additional measures decided in the first quarter of 2013 to further transform Bouygues Telecom are in progress and have still not paid off.

Operating results are not indicative of full-year performance

As each year, first-quarter results are not indicative of full-year performance, mainly because of the highly seasonal nature of Colas' business.

Sales in the construction businesses were stable at €5 billion. Bouygues Construction and Bouygues Immobilier maintained their current operating margin at a good level of 3.5% and 7.4% respectively. Colas reported a current operating loss of €203 million and was down €17 million due to poor weather in France and northern Europe.

TF1 saw a 10% decrease in sales to €566 million and a 12% decline in advertising revenue. It reported a current operating loss of €16 million, the difference with the previous year's figure being attributable to lower advertising revenue and the recognition of a €27-million tax reimbursement in the first quarter of 2012.

As expected, first-quarter results at Bouygues Telecom suffered from a particularly unfavourable comparison base, because first-quarter results in 2012 had not yet been hit by the disruption in the mobile market. Bouygues Telecom reported first-quarter sales of €1,148 million, down 16%, and sales from network of €1,063 million, down 13%. EBITDA stood at €212 million and current operating profit at €28 million.

Alstom's contribution to the Group's net profit remained stable at €58 million.

Outlook for 2013 confirmed

The sales target of €33.45 billion is confirmed.

The Group's priority is to continue and step up action plans in all its business areas. Under these conditions, 2012 should mark the low point in the Group's profitability.
