Bouygues turned in a solid operating performance in the first half of 2011, endorsing the full-year roadmap for all the Group's business areas. The Construction businesses returned to growth and improved profitability, TF1 confirmed its turnaround and Bouygues Telecom continued its growth strategy in a highly competitive environment.
The Group reported a 4% increase in consolidated sales in the first half of 2011 (1% like-for-like and at constant exchange rates) to €15.2 billion. Current operating profit rose 6% to €752 million, while net profit was down by €141 million to €391 million. The decline in net profit was due to a lower contribution from Alstom (€122 million less than in the first half of 2010) and non-recurring items of €41 million in the first quarter of 2010.
Results improved in the second quarter of 2011 compared with the second quarter of 2010: sales rose by 4%, current operating profit by 11% and net profit by 2%.
The financial structure remains very sound and net debt is virtually stable in relation to end-June 2010.

2 End of period
Bouygues Construction reported a satisfactory operating performance in the first half of the year. Sales rose 4% to €4,705 million (up 5% in France and 2% on international markets). The operating margin held up well at 3.5% and net profit rose 6% to €94 million.
Commercial activity was very strong, with order intake of €6.1 billion in the first half of the year, the same as the already high level reported in the year earlier period. The order book stood at a record €15.5 billion, 12% higher than at 30 June 2010. It includes the French Ministry of Defence Balard project, worth €1 billion.
First-half results at Bouygues Immobilier were in line with the company's full-year roadmap. Sales declined 16% to €1,098 million. Commercial property sales were down 47% squeezed by a tough comparative with the first half of 2010. Residential property sales dropped 6% overall in the first six months but started to rise again in the second quarter. The current operating margin and net profit remained stable at 8.3% and €56 million respectively.
After a record year in 2010, residential property reservations remained high at €990 million. Commercial property reservations rose sharply to €324 million in a still hesitant market. Overall, reservations were up 6% on the first half of 2010 at €1,314 million.
The order book was 18% higher than at end-June 2010 at €2.5 billion.
At Colas, the gradual improvement in profitability was confirmed in the first half of 2011.
Sales were up 8% to €5,400 million (up 15% in France and down 3% on international markets). After benefiting from favourable weather conditions in France in the first quarter, sales remained robust in the second quarter. As expected, current operating profit improved – it was €34 million higher than in the first half of 2010 – as the positive effects of the action plan introduced in 2010 began to show. Net profit amounted to €2 million, €31 million up on the first half of 2010.
Good business activity in the first half of 2011 kept the order book at a high level of €7.2 billion (the same as at end-June 2010), despite sales growth.
Sales at TF1 were virtually stable at €1,278 million. The current operating margin improved substantially to 14.6%, 6.5 points more than in the first half of 2010, and net profit rose 61% to €119 million as TF1 confirmed its capacity to closely manage costs and adapt its business model. Standard & Poor's raised TF1's credit rating to BBB+ with a stable outlook, reflecting the company's healthy financial structure.
Bouygues Telecom reported a 5% increase in first-half sales to €2,866 million and a 3% rise in sales from network to €2,575 million. As anticipated, EBITDA remained stable stripping out the effect of the cut in mobile termination rate differentials, despite fierce competitive pressure. EBITDA amounted to €665 million, down 9%, and net profit to €213 million, down 19%.
In a very brisk mobile phone market, Bouygues Telecom signed up 206,000 new mobile contract customers in the first half of 2011, representing 21% of net market growth1 . Bouygues Telecom had a total customer base of 11,187,000 at 30 June 2011, 80% of them on mobile call plans, a 1.3-point rise over a 12-month period. On 18 July 2011, the operator innovated once again by launching the new B&YOU service, a mobile plan that targets the "internet generation".
215,000 new fixed broadband customers joined Bouygues Telecom in the first half of 20112 , giving a total of 1,023,000 fixed broadband customers at 30 June 2011.

Alstom contributed €94 million to the Group's first-half net profit, compared with €216 million in the first half of 2010. As announced, after a first quarter severely hit by non-recurring expenses taken by Alstom in the second half of FY2010/2011, Alstom contributed €71 million to Group net profit in the second quarter of 2011 (versus €101 million in the second quarter of 2010).
Carrying on from the second half of FY2010/2011, Alstom recorded strong growth in its order intake in the first quarter of FY2011/2012 and confirmed its operating margin target of between 7% and 8% for FY2011/2012.
Cash flow increased slightly to €1,502 million, in line with the rise in operating profit. As anticipated, net capital expenditure rose to €651 million, €150 million more than in the first half of 2010, generating free cash flow1 of €494 million.
Group net debt was virtually stable in relation to end-June 2010 at €4.3 billion.

Bouygues Construction took orders worth a very satisfactory €6,134 million in the first half of 2011, stable in relation to the same period of the previous year (€6,105 million, i.e. an increase of €29 million). The order intake in France, up €864 million to €3,744 million, includes the Balard project, which involves the financing, design and construction of a new Defence Ministry complex in Paris, plus a 30-year operation and maintenance contract. International orders, down €835 million at €2,390 million, include the €464-million order book of Leadbitter, a British building firm acquired at the end of 2010. For information, the international order intake in the first half of 2010 included five projects worth over €300 million each. The order intake in the first half of 2011 includes long-term contracts (more than five years) worth €676 million for ETDE, compared with €568 million in the first half of 2010.
The order book at 30 June 2011 amounted to €15.5 billion, another record and 12% higher than at end-June 2010. 52% of orders are on international markets, compared with 54% at 30 June 2010. The order book gives increasing visibility, since the share of orders at more than two years rose by 19% over the preceding 12 months to €5.6 billion.
Overall sales in the first half of 2011 increased 4% to €4,705 million, rising by 5% in France to €2,665 million and by 2% on international markets to €2,040 million. Like-for-like and at constant exchange rates, the increase was 1%, taking account of the inclusion of Leadbitter and a positive exchange-rate effect mainly due to the appreciation of the Swiss franc.
Operating profit rose €21 million to €165 million, representing 3.5% of sales compared with 3.2% in the first half of 2010. Although interest rates on surplus cash remained very low, net financial income rose by €4 million to €20 million. The net margin at end-June 2011 was 2.0%, the same as at end-June 2010, giving a net profit of €94 million.
After the financing of capital expenditure and payment of the dividend in April 2011, the cash position net of financial debt stood at €2,236 million, down €620 million on end-December 2010.
The Building and Civil Works activity generated €3,959 million, including €2,145 million in France and €1,814 million on international markets.
Sales in France in the first half of 2011 amounted to €2,145 million, 5% more than in the first half of 2010.
Bouygues Bâtiment Ile-de-France, the leader on its market, is involved in numerous renovation and construction projects, including public buildings such as the Paris Philharmonic Hall in La Villette and the National Archives in Pierrefitte to the north of Paris, residential complexes and office buildings.

ETDE contributed €746 million to Bouygues Construction's consolidated first-half sales, virtually the same as in the first half of 2010.
Sales in France amounted to €520 million, compared with €490 million at end-June 2010. A major street-lighting contract in Paris with an energy performance commitment was booked. ETDE also started three new contracts concluded in 2010, including a 20-year contract in Thiais, near Paris, that includes a commitment to reduce electricity consumption by a third. Exprimm, ETDE's facility management subsidiary, is also involved in PPP contracts in partnership with the group's construction subsidiaries. In the first half of the year, with Bouygues Bâtiment Île-de-France, it concluded a maintenance contract for the French Ministry of Defence Balard project. ETDE is the electrical and HVAC engineering contractor for hospitals in Metz and Amiens.

Bouygues Construction's sales target for 2011 is €9.6 billion, up 4% on 2010. With several major projects getting under way, especially in Asia, Bouygues Construction has a relatively clear view of the future and can count on:
Tight control over the execution of major projects and a high-quality order intake in a context of fierce competitive pressure will continue to be central priorities for Bouygues Construction.

The housing market slowed in the first half of 2011 after an excellent year in 2010, sustained by historically low interest rates and government stimulus measures, including a doubling of zerointerest loans, the Pass-foncier® scheme for first-time owner-occupiers and tax incentives for investors in buy-to-let properties. The slowdown was attributable to economic uncertainty, a rise (albeit slight) in interest rates and waning interest from investors.
The commercial property market was still hesitant despite some signs of picking up again.
In this context, Bouygues Immobilier recorded a 6% increase in its order intake to €1,314 million.
Sales amounted to €1,098 million, 16% down on the same period in 2010, mainly due to the completion of major commercial property projects. Residential property sales started to rise again in the second quarter.
The operating margin remained stable at 8.3% due to good profitability in the residential segment. Sales and results were in line with the roadmap for the year.

Residential property reservations fell back 21% in unit terms, consistent with the overall market trend. However, they remained at a high level after an exceptional year in 2010.
In response to falling demand from private investors, Bouygues Immobilier is targeting owneroccupiers, especially first-time buyers, rolling out products at affordable prices. A number of competitively priced projects have been marketed in urban development zones, where the lower 5.5% rate of VAT applies. Benefiting from the leverage generated by enhanced zero-interest loans, these products have proved highly successful.
In a still-sticky market, commercial property reservations jumped sharply in the first half of 2011 to €324 million. This figure includes the sale to Scor of Green Office® Meudon, the first large-scale positive-energy office building in France, and the conclusion of two property development contracts, one for the co-development with Sogeprom of the D² tower in La Défense and one for the Paris Bar Law School in Issy-les-Moulineaux that will accommodate 1,500 students on completion.
Bouygues Immobilier is also pursuing its strategy of becoming a flagship player in sustainable urban development and has recently been named developer of the Wacken eco-community in Strasbourg, France's first positive-energy neighbourhood.

The order book rose substantially to €2,537 million, including €2,337 million in the residential segment representing 14 months of sales.
Bouygues Immobilier expects the residential property market to pick up in the second half of 2011, sustained by stronger demand from private investors who, as in the latter part of 2010, will want to take advantage of the 22% tax break on low-energy buildings before the changes to the scheme announced by the government for 2012, and by the ongoing success of the enhanced zerointerest loan scheme for first-time buyers.
With low-energy certification for all its products and its entry-level to mid-range positioning, wellsuited to first-time buyers, Bouygues Immobilier intends to continue to increase its share of the residential property market in France over the year as a whole.
In the commercial property segment, Bouygues Immobilier is continuing its strategy of controlling risk by developing projects for clearly identified operators.
Bouygues Immobilier's objective of preserving a solid financial structure remains unchanged.

Consolidated sales at 30 June 2011 amounted to €5.4 billion compared with €5.0 billion at end-June 2010, an increase of 8.0% (4.1% like-for-like and at constant exchange rates), boosted by a significant increase in business in mainland France and, to a lesser extent, in northern Europe.
BOUYGUES/2011 Half-year review Half-year review of operations
Sales in France at end-June 2011 were up 14.8% on the same period in the previous year to €3.5 billion.
Sales in mainland France in the first half of the year amounted to €3.3 billion, 15.4% higher than at end-June 2010 (9.6% like-for-like).
In French overseas departments (including Mayotte), sales rose 5% on the back of steady activity in French Guiana and Mayotte and a slight upturn on Réunion, though the market in the Caribbean remained depressed.
International sales amounted to €1.9 billion at 30 June 2011, down 2.8% on 30 June 2010 (-3.6% like-for-like and at constant exchange rates).
Sales in North America amounted to €664 million, down slightly by 1.6% on end-June 2010 (-1.2% like-for-like and at constant exchange rates). Adverse weather conditions, especially in Canada but also in the United States, delayed the pickup in activity and affected worksite productivity until May.
Sales in northern Europe rose 3% to €548 million. Higher sales in Belgium, Denmark and Switzerland offset a decline in activity in Ireland and the United Kingdom.
As expected, sales in central Europe fell by around 20%, with Slovakia, Hungary and Romania the worst affected.
Subsidiaries in the rest of the world reported sales of €435 million, the same level as at end-June 2010. Growth in Asia and Australia offset a slight fall in Africa and the Indian Ocean (Madagascar).
A significant proportion of Colas' activity, both in France and elsewhere, consists in the production of construction materials, especially aggregates. 46.4 million tonnes of aggregates (-3%), 17.5 million tonnes of asphalt mixes (+1%) and 716,000 tonnes of binders and emulsions (-5%) were produced in the six months to 30 June 2011.
The order book at end-June 2011 amounted to €7.2 billion, practically the same as at end-June 2010. Orders in mainland France amounted to €3.6 billion, 1% higher than at end-June 2010. Orders in French overseas departments and on international markets remained stable, also at €3.6 billion. The high level of orders, despite robust activity in the first six months, bodes well for the second half of the year.
For 2011 as a whole:
On the basis of currently available data, the sales target for 2011 has been adjusted up from €11.8 billion at the start of the year to €11.9 billion. The first effects of the rightsizing measures taken since mid-2010 have confirmed an improvement in profitability in 2011.

The TF1 group's mission is to inform and entertain. While continuing to strengthen its position in its core television business with free and pay channels, it has diversified into the internet, audiovisual rights, production and licences.

The TF1 group's consolidated sales over the first six months of the year remained virtually stable at €1,287 million (down 0.5%).
This figure comprises:
Operating profit in the first half of 2011 amounted to €186.5 million, €82.1 million more than in the first half of 2010, a rise of 78.6%.
The current operating margin rose to 14.6%, compared with 8.1% in the first half of 2010 and 8.8% over the whole of the year. The second-quarter operating margin rose to 18.8%, compared with 8.8% in the second quarter of 2010.
Net profit attributable to the Group in the first half of 2011 amounted to €119 million, compared with €74 million in the first half of 2010.
The TF1 group kept its unrivalled position in free-to-air television in France, with TF1, TMC and NT1 gaining an aggregate audience share of 29.1% among individuals aged four years and over and 32.9% among women under 50 who are purchasing decisionmakers.
The TF1 group had a cash surplus of €11 million at end-June 2011. The strength of its financial position was underlined when Standard & Poor's upgraded its rating from BBB with positive outlook to BBB+ with stable outlook.
In the first half of the year, the TF1 core channel won an audience share of 23.8% among individuals aged four years and over and 26.8% among women under 50 who are purchasing decision-makers. It also achieved the top 50 audience ratings.
The cost of programmes shown on TF1 amounted to €424 million in the first half of 2011, compared with €483 million in the same period of the previous year. The €59-million drop (12.2%) was due to the absence of the 2010 FIFA World Cup, which represented a saving of €49 million on rights net of replacement programme costs, and savings of €10 million on other programmes.
Sales by the TF1 core channel fell 1.2% in the first six months of 2011 to €761 million, including €758 million of net advertising revenue, down 0.9%. Television remained the top medium for advertising spend in the first half of 2011 and TF1 confirmed its status as France's leading mass media outlet. The advertising sales department continued its valuerecovery strategy even without any major sporting event, like the FIFA World Cup in 2010.
With a €75-million increase in operating profit to €132 million, the operating margin in the first half of the year jumped 9.9 points from 7.4% in the first half of 2010 to 17.3%.
Téléshopping generated sales of €54 million in the first half of 2011 compared with €58 million in same period of the previous year, a drop of 7%. This was mainly due to a decline in its core business and in the infomercials business, where the number of orders rose but the average value fell.
This decline was partly offset by the success of Place des Tendances, an online fashion shopping site that now has a catalogue of 200 brands. Operating profit fell €3 million to €1 million.
Theme channel sales jumped 48.4% to €160 million, due partly to full consolidation of TMC and NT1 from 1 July 2010 but also to an excellent increase in audience share by TMC, TV Breizh and LCI. Operating profit rose €16 million to €28 million, giving an operating margin of 17.4%.
TF1 Entreprises reported a 5.1% rise in half-year sales to €17 million on the back of successes in the music business, including productions like the Prêtres I and II CDs, coproductions like the Black Eyed Peas, the musical Mozart Rock Opera, and the division's trade-mark and licence agency business. Operating profit amounted to €2.6 million compared with €0.3 million in the first half of 2010, giving an operating margin of 15.7%.
At e-TF1, the sale of videos over the internet and the rollout by new operators of MyTF1, an enhanced television portal, drove revenue growth to €39 million, a rise of 3.5%. Profitability improved to €3.1 million, a €3-million increase over one year.
The Catalogue division reported half-year sales of €12 million compared with €24 million in the first half of 2010. This decline was due to less successful cinema releases than in the first half of 2010 and the restatement of sales with TMC and NT1 as intragroup sales.
Against a background of tumbling DVD prices, sales by TF1 Vidéo rose 7.9% to €38 million as a result of higher volume sales and the expansion of video on demand (VOD).
The division incurred an operating loss of €11 million, which includes a provision for the Miracle at St Anna dispute.
Sales at the international broadcasting division (Eurosport International) fell back 4.1% despite a steady rise in subscription revenue, due to the uncertain economic climate, the lack of major sporting events in the first half of 2011 and the corresponding impact on advertising revenue.
Operating profit rose €1 million to €28 million.
Eurosport International achieved an operating margin of 15.9%, a 1.2-point improvement attributable to reductions in and close management of programme costs by the TF1 group, which is not showing any major events this year.
In a low-visibility economic environment, the TF1 group confirms that it expects sales to remain stable in 2011.
The group is keener than ever to consolidate its position as France's leading provider of news and entertainment on television.
Having rationalised its business portfolio, the TF1 group is continuing to expand its diversification activities, which are becoming more successful again.

The strong growth recorded in 2010 continued in the first half of 2011 in a fiercely competitive market. Overall sales rose by 5% to €2,886 million and sales from network increased 3%.
EBITDA fell by 9% but was stable if the effect of the cut in MTR differentials is stripped out.
The operating margin was hit by the fall in EBITDA and higher depreciation expenses following development of the fixed line business.
For information, Bbox router costs are capitalised, as are service access expenses paid to France Telecom.
Free cash flow amounted to €197 million in the first half of 2011, down €148 million due to a sharp rise in capital expenditure, especially in the broadband and very-high-speed segments, and lower cash flow due to the reduction in EBITDA.
Bouygues Telecom has passed the milestone of one million fixed broadband customers, just two years after entering the market. Bouygues Telecom signed up 215,000 new fixed broadband customers in the first half of the year.
The number of mobile contract customers rose by 206,000 in the first six months of 2011, representing 21% of net market growth. Bouygues Telecom had 11,187,000 mobile customers at 30 June 2011.
Bouygues Telecom continued to roll out its marketing innovation strategy:
the new Neo Pro 24/24 Platinum contract for professionals was launched, including unlimited calls in France, unlimited text messages, 3G+ and 3 hours of international calls.
Bouygues Telecom is continuing its policy of putting customers first.
High-quality customer relations continue to be a priority for Bouygues Telecom, which pulled off a historic double by coming top of the customer relations league table for both the mobile phone sector, for the fifth year running, and the fixed line internet sector, after just two years on the market.
The quality of the company's HR policy was recognised by the award of the Top Employer label for the second year running.
Bouygues Telecom's 3G HSPA network covered 87% of the French population at end-June 2011, thus meeting the requirement under the terms of its licence to cover 75% of the population by the end of 2010.
Bouygues Telecom covers all the major towns and cities in France and strives to continually improve its network.
The voice termination rate was cut by 41% on 1 July 2011 to €0.02 per minute, thus ending the differential with Orange and SFR.
The SMS termination rate was also cut by 31% to €0.015.
The Technical Centre in Meudon, near Paris, was awarded HQE Operation certification, recognising the high environmental quality not only of the building but also of the monitoring and maintenance processes for the benefit of users.
Voice and SMS termination rates were cut again on 1 July 2011. Bouygues Telecom considers that the impact of the cut in voice and SMS termination rates is likely to be at least €330 million on 2011 sales and a minimum of €120 million on EBITDA.
However, strong organic growth means that sales are expected to rise by 2% over the year as a whole.
EBITDA is likely to remain stable in 2011, stripping out the effect of the cut in termination rate differentials.

Alstom, in which Bouygues has a 30.7% stake, is a world leader in power generation and transmission and rail transport infrastructure and sets the standard in innovative technologies for the protection of the environment. It makes the world's fastest trains and highest-capacity automatic metros. Alstom also provides turnkey power plants, equipment and related services for the production of electricity from all sources, including hydropower, nuclear, gas, coal and wind. It offers a vast range of electricity transmission solutions, especially smart grids. The group has about 93,500 employees in a hundred or so countries and generated sales of €20.9 billion in FY2010/11, ended on 31 March 2011.
Alstom published its financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2011 on 4 May 2011. During FY2010/11, Alstom recorded sales of €20.9 billion and an operating profit of €1,570 million, giving an operating margin of 7.5%. Net profit amounted to €462 million, severely hit by non-recurring expenses. The order intake amounted to €19.1 billion, higher than the low level recorded in the previous year. After bottoming out in the first half, orders bounced back in the second half. Free cash flow also improved substantially in the second half of FY2010/11, rising to €447 million, compared with -€963 million in the first half.
Results in FY2010/11 reflected an operating performance in line with forecasts. After three consecutive half-years of low orders, the order intake jumped sharply in the second half of FY2010/11, with a stronger fourth than third quarter, as announced. This upturn in the commercial situation generated a substantial improvement in cash flow in the second half of the year.
The upturn in orders was driven by numerous successes in emerging countries, where demand is likely to carry on growing, whereas business in developed countries remains sluggish. This geographical shift in demand opens up a new phase for Alstom. In order to grasp future opportunities while remaining competitive, the group plans to adapt the geographical scope of its operations and step up its innovative products and services. Consequently, Alstom continued to expand in the BRICs and concluded several partnership agreements in these key zones. At the same time, rightsizing plans were introduced for certain sites in Europe and North America.
Research and development spending was maintained at a high level to enable Alstom to remain at the cutting edge of technology.
On 15 June 2011, on a proposal from the Chairman and CEO, Alstom's board of directors approved major changes to the group's organisation, which took effect on 4 July 2011. They included the appointment of a Deputy CEO, the reshaping of operational activities into four sectors (Thermal Power, Renewable Power, Transport, Grid) and a complete overhaul of the Executive Committee. The new organisation is intended to allow the group to better anticipate the structural changes in its businesses, accelerate its development and achieve its performance objectives. Splitting the Power sector into two sectors, Thermal and Renewable, is designed to simplify the working of each entity and to take better account of the specific features of their markets.
The shareholders' meeting on 28 June 2011 approved the payment of a dividend of €0.62 per share, compared with €1.24 in the previous financial year.
Alstom published its sales for the first quarter of FY2011/12 (1 April to 30 June 2011) on 20 July 2011. Alstom took orders worth €5 billion over the period, 44% more (34% excluding Grid) than in the same period of the previous year. Sales, at €4.5 billion, were down 12% (-23% excluding Grid).
The newly created sectors, Thermal Power and Renewable Power, received orders of €2.8 billion and €0.3 billion respectively in the first quarter. Transport booked contracts for small and medium-sized projects worth €1 billion. Grid orders amounted to €0.9 billion. The geographical shift of orders towards emerging countries seen over the previous six months was confirmed, since they accounted for 63% of new orders booked.
Thermal Power and Transport saw sales drop sharply in the first quarter of FY2011/12 in relation to the first quarter of FY2010/11, hitting a low that was the consequence of the previous low order intake.
The total order book amounted to €47 billion at 30 June 2011, representing 28 months of sales.
Alstom's financial structure is solid and an improvement is expected in the second half as a result of the combined effect of the recent upturn in orders and the benefits of the restructuring plan. On that basis, Alstom confirmed that it expects an operating margin of between 7% and 8% for FY2011/12, as already announced.
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 2011 are similar to those described in the 2010 Registration Document (pages 139-159).
No related-party transactions liable to materially affect Bouygues' financial situation or results were concluded in the first half of 2011. 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 Shareholders' Meeting, Bouygues provided services to its sub-groups, mainly in the areas of management, human resources, information systems and finance.
More detailed information about related-party transactions is given in Note 13 of the notes to the condensed consolidated first-half financial statements.
A number of significant events occurred in July and August 2011.
Most of the Gautrain transport system linking Pretoria, Johannesburg and Johannesburg International Airport was brought into service on 2 August 2011.
Bouygues Construction has started work on redeveloping the site of the old Laënnec Hospital in the 7th arrondissement of Paris, a project worth a total of around €150 million.
On 28 July, TF1 finalised the acquisition of Metro International's 65.7% stake in Metro France, a free newspaper, making TF1 the sole owner. TF1 Droits Audiovisuels, the producer and the authors/directors of the film Miracle at St Anna ended the dispute as a result of which the Paris civil court of first instance, on 21 June 2011, ordered TF1 to pay €32 million in compensation.
The calls for tender for the allocation of frequencies in the 800 MHz and 2.6 GHz bands were published on 15 June 2011. The frequencies will be allocated in late 2011 and early 2012. During the summer Bouygues Telecom launched B&You in the form of three no-commitment plans designed to meet the needs of new, more autonomous users at ease with new technologies.
The new initiative is based on a new model:
Alstom has won a number of major contracts, including a €330-million contract to operate and maintain a gas-fired power station in Israel, an order worth €200 million for 66 trainsets for the Paris metro, electricity transmission contracts worth €100 million in Australia, an €80-million contract as part of the programme to rebuild the energy network in Iraq and a €90-million contract for a turnkey rail system in Indonesia.

(1) Definition of change in working capital related to operating activities:
Current assets - current liabilities (excluding income taxes paid, which are reported separately)
30 August 2011
Declaration of compliance:
The condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months ended 30 June 2011 have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, "Interim Financial Reporting", a standard issued by the IASB and endorsed by the European Union, using the historical cost convention (except for certain financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value). They include comparatives as at and for the periods ended 30 June 2010 and 31 December 2010.
The Bouygues group has not early adopted as of 30 June 2011 any standard or interpretation not endorsed by the European Union.
The financial statements are prepared in millions of euros (unless otherwise indicated) and comprise:
1,119 entities were consolidated as at 30 June 2011, against 1,158 at the end of 2010. The net reduction of 39 mainly relates to Colas (various proportionately-consolidated asphalt companies) and to Bouygues Immobilier (deconsolidation of real estate partnerships and property companies on project completion, etc).
Principal acquisitions and other transactions during the period:
• LEADBITTER GROUP (BOUYGUES CONSTRUCTION):
After receiving clearance from the European Commission competition authorities in March 2011, the Bouygues Construction group acquired 51% of the Leadbitter group via the holding company Leadbitter Bouygues H. Ltd. The remaining 49% is held by the Leadbitter management team and is to be acquired within no more than 4 years.
The Leadbitter group, which has a construction and house-building business in the United Kingdom, has been fully consolidated in the Bouygues Construction group financial statements with effect from 31 March 2011. The €38 million investment in Leadbitter was recognised in the first half of 2011.
The commitment to buy out the minority shareholders in the holding company, amounting to €19 million, has been recognised in non-current debt.
• GAMMA MATERIALS LTD (COLAS):
At the end of June 2011, Colas acquired a 50% interest in Gamma Materials Ltd (Mauritius) for €33 million. As at 30 June 2011, this interest is reported in "Investments in non-consolidated companies" pending accounting and financial data. Gamma Materials will be accounted for by the proportionate consolidation method in the second half of 2011.
ALSTOM:
Alstom is accounted for by the equity method, and is carried at net acquisition cost plus Bouygues' share of Alstom's net profit since the acquisition date.
On 4 May 2011, Alstom published its results for the financial year ended 31 March 2011. Given the time-lag between the financial year-end of Alstom (31 March) and Bouygues (31 December), the financial contribution of Alstom to the Bouygues group's net profit for the first quarter of 2011 was €23 million, while the estimate for the second quarter (after eliminating non-recurring charges booked in 2011) is €71 million. This gives a total contribution of €94 million for the first half of 2011.
Amortisation of fair value remeasurements of identifiable intangible assets and other items had a negative impact of €8 million on the Bouygues group consolidated income statement in the period (portion attributable to the Bouygues group).
The investment in Alstom is reported under "Investments in associates" in the balance sheet, at a carrying amount of €4,425 million, including goodwill of €2,593 million.
Consolidated sales were €15,214 million, 3.8% higher than in the first half of 2010.
None.
The Bouygues group is a diversified industrial group with operations in more than 80 countries.
The Group's activities are organised into a number of business areas:
The consolidated financial statements of the Bouygues group include the financial statements of Bouygues and its subsidiaries, and investments in associates. They 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 presentation (Recommendation 2009-R-03) issued on 2 July 2009 by the Conseil National de la Comptabilité (CNC), now the Autorité des Normes Comptables (ANC), the French national accounting standard-setter.
They were approved by the Board of Directors on 30 August 2011.
The Bouygues group has applied the same standards, interpretations and accounting policies for the six months ended 30 June 2011 as those disclosed in its consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2010, except for new IFRS requirements applicable from 1 January 2011 (see below). Consequently, Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements for the six months ended 30 June 2011 does not include detailed disclosures of these accounting policies, and these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2010.
• Elective accounting treatments and estimates used in the valuation of certain assets, liabilities, income and expenses:
Preparing 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, share-based payment (stock options), employee benefits (lump-sum retirement benefits, 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 has exercised its judgement to define and apply accounting policies that will provide relevant and reliable financial information, such that the financial statements:
Disclosures about judgements made by management are provided in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.
Goodwill is tested annually for impairment at the end of the financial year, or during the year if there is evidence of impairment, to ensure that the Group's share of the recoverable amount of the goodwill is greater than its carrying amount in the consolidated financial statements. If it is not, a provision for impairment may be recorded in accordance with IAS 36: see Note 2.7.1, "Impairment testing of non-current assets".
• Changes in accounting policy:
Bouygues has made no changes in accounting policy in the six months ended 30 June 2011 except for the new IFRS requirements mentioned above, which have no impact on the consolidated financial statements.
As of 30 June 2011, Bouygues held 43.19% of the voting rights of TF1. The exercise of exclusive control over TF1 by Bouygues is demonstrated by the following:
Bouygues has consistently and regularly held a large majority of the voting rights exercised at TF1 shareholders' meetings, and no other shareholder directly or indirectly controls a higher share of voting rights than Bouygues.
Bouygues has clearly had exclusive power to determine decisions at TF1 shareholders' meetings for at least two consecutive financial years.
Other factors indicating the existence of exclusive control include:
All these factors clearly establish that Bouygues exercises exclusive control over TF1.
• Proportionate consolidation: investments in joint ventures
A joint venture is a contractual arrangement whereby two or more parties undertake an economic activity which is subject to joint control. Bouygues consolidates the assets, liabilities, income and expenses of such entities using the proportionate consolidation method based on the percentage of control exercised. This applies in particular to Bouygues Construction and Colas construction project companies, and to Bouygues Immobilier property companies.
• Investments in associates
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 assets and liabilities of such entities are accounted for by the equity method.
| JUNE 2011 | DECEMBER 2010 | |
|---|---|---|
| Fully consolidated | 858 | 882 |
| Proportionately consolidated | 199 | 217 |
| Associates (equity method) | 62 | 59 |
| 1,119 | 1,158 |
The main changes during the period are described in Note 1, "Significant events of the period".
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; the impacts of such acquisitions and disposals are recognised either in consolidated profit or loss or in equity, depending on the nature of the combination.
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 minority interests), rather than remeasuring just the percentage interest acquired.
The revised IFRS 3 allows entities to elect one of two methods of accounting for minority 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 acquisition cost 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; minority 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 minority 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 under "Impairment testing of non-current assets" in Note 2.7.1 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 paid or received and the carrying amount of the minority 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.
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. Minority 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. The revised standards allow the acquirer to elect to account for each new business combination on either a full goodwill basis or a partial goodwill basis.
Foreign-currency transactions 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.
Deferred taxes are measured using known applicable domestic tax rates for the relevant country as at the balance sheet date.
Deferred taxes are not discounted, and are reported in non-current assets and liabilities.
Impairment tests are carried out on the carrying amount of non-current assets as at the balance sheet date in accordance with the accounting policies applied by the Bouygues group; the carrying amount of indefinite-lived intangible assets and goodwill is compared to their recoverable amount at least at the end of each financial year.
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 CGU as determined above is then compared with its 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, this loss being allocated in the first instance to any goodwill recognised in the balance sheet.
Impairment tests are carried out on the carrying amount of non-current assets at least at the end of each financial year (or during the year if there is evidence of impairment), in accordance with the accounting policies applied by the Bouygues group; the carrying amount of indefinite-lived intangible assets and goodwill is compared to their recoverable amount.
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 the interest in Alstom was tested for impairment as at 30 June 2011, on the basis of forecasts prepared by a panel of financial analysts. The recoverable amount determined on the basis of this analysis (using two different capital structure scenarios) was greater overall than the carrying amount of the Alstom assets tested.
The discount rates (weighted average cost of capital) and growth rate used for Alstom at 30 June 2011 were:
| Discount rate | Growth rate | |
|---|---|---|
| Scenario 1 (a) | Scenario 2 (a) | |
| 9.13% | 8.19% | 2% |
(a) Depending on the capital structure: Scenario 1 = ⅓ debt, ⅔ equity Scenario 2 = ⅔ debt, ⅓ equity.
• Other non-current assets: For other non-current assets, in particular non-depreciable assets, an impairment loss is recognised as soon as there is evidence that the asset is impaired.
The cash flow statement is presented in accordance with IAS 7 and with recommendation 2009-R-03 issued by the CNC (now the ANC) on 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
The Bouygues group defines cash flow 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:
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).
Cash flow (determined after cost of net debt and net income tax expense, but before changes in working capital) minus net capital expenditure 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 year to date had no material impact on the financial statements for the six months ended 30 June 2011, and do not impair comparability with the financial statements for the six months ended 30 June 2010.
Sales generated by the Leadbitter group (Bouygues Construction) in the second quarter of 2011: €121 million.
A non-recurring expense of €13 million recognised by Colas in the first half of 2010 has been reclassified from current operating profit to non-current operating profit, in line with the position adopted by the Bouygues group on this issue as of 31 December 2010.
Sales recorded in the first half of 2011 and the comparative periods presented by Colas – Mayotte have been reclassified from "International" to "France", as this overseas territory became an administrative department of France on 1 January 2011. The amounts involved are as follows:
| - | 1st half of 2011 | = | €36 million |
|---|---|---|---|
| - | 1st half of 2010 | = | €32 million |

This is a free translation into English of the statutory auditors' review report on the half-yearly consolidated financial statements issued in French and it is provided solely for the convenience of English-speaking users. This report also includes information relating to the specific verification of information given in the Group's interim management report. This report should be read in conjunction with and construed in accordance with French law and professional standards applicable in France.
To the Shareholders,
In compliance with the assignment entrusted to us by 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 these 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 interim management report in respect of the condensed half-yearly consolidated financial statements subject to our review.
We have no matters to report as to its fair presentation and its consistency with the condensed half-yearly consolidated financial statements.
