(2) Cash Flow From Operations: Free Cash Flow before maintenance Capex and nuclear phase-out expenses.
(3) Net financial debt is pro forma EQUANS intercompany debt (€0.7 billion).
The basis used to determine the objectives and the underlying assumptions are presented in section 6 "Outlook" of this activity report.
Given the current environment that remains marked by uncertainty, the 2022 guidance is unchanged: 2022 Net recurring income Group share (NRIgs) is expected to be in the range of €3.8 to €4.4 billion, based on indicative EBITDA range of €11.7 to €12.7 billion and EBIT range of €7.0 to €8.0 billion.
Should the prevailing market conditions and price environment (as at 30 June 2022) continue into the second half, this would present an upside to this guidance of c. €0.7 billion at NRIgs level.
ENGIE remains committed to a strong investment grade credit rating and continues to target a ratio below or equal to 4.0x economic net debt to EBITDA over the long-term. The Group reaffirms its dividend policy, with a 65% to 75% payout ratio based on NRIgs, and a floor of €0.65 per share for the 2021 to 2023 period.
As gas network owner, operator, and gas supplier, ENGIE has a critical role to play in its core markets.
In France, in order to enhance security of supply and gas storage levels, ENGIE has purchased 10 TWh additional gas volumes in the market and advanced its program of gas injections compared to the previous year. All these measures in H1, in a context of high market prices, led to higher working capital of c. €1.6billion, clearly demonstrating ENGIE's efforts to support security of supply.
Alongside efforts to enhance security of supply, ENGIE also continues to pave the way for the future and unlock the potential of renewable gases: 425 biomethane production units, with a yearly production capacity of up to
7.2 TWh, are now connected to ENGIE's networks in France.
In parallel, ENGIE is acting to support clients with energy affordability. In Europe, the Group engaged with local authorities to provide support through payment facilities of more than €1.1 billion to enable price protection mechanisms, as well as through profit sharing mechanisms such as in Belgium and in France. ENGIE is engaging on the recent purchasing power law in France, through which the Group is expected to provide further working capital to support gas storage levels.
In addition to the measures already implemented, ENGIE will proactively support the purchasing power of its customers in France in autumn, through two main measures:
Also in France, c.70% of ENGIE's B2C gas and power contracts benefited from a protection against price increases through tariff shield or fixed prices over the lifetime of the contract. Clients are also supported in Belgium with social tariffs and in Romania with price cap mechanism.
ENGIE is more focused than ever on working collaboratively with clients on energy efficiency to reduce their energy bill and achieve their decarbonisation goals. This includes for example boiler maintenance and installation of high-performance equipment to reduce gas consumption, as well as individual solar-distributed generation. Gas smart meters also play a role in energy efficiency. ENGIE continues to deploy them, with 1.0 million installed over the first half, bringing the total number to almost 10.2 million.
Since March, ENGIE has undertaken several measures to significantly reduce direct exposures arising from the risk of interruptions to Russian gas supplies.
With respect to financial exposure, with the benefit of proactive hedging actions, of which the cost was fully expensed in H1, and management of the overall gas portfolio, even in the extreme event of a sudden complete halt in Russian gas deliveries, the Group would only be exposed to a one-off short position of c. 4 TWh.
On physical exposure, for the winter of 2022-23, through a combination of intrinsic length in the portfolio; additional gas through new pipeline gas; and LNG contracts, ENGIE has substantially reduced the previous exposure to volumes procured from Gazprom. Residual volumes, at c. 4% of ENGIE's total European requirements to supply its BtoB, BtoC customers and for consumption for its own CCGT power plants, are now well within the normal range of volatility that the Group manages on an ongoing basis, e.g., for volume changes due to weather.
Similarly, for the winter of 2023-24, the Group is confident that additional volumes contracted through new supply sources including LNG, together with an expected decrease in demand will help replace the need for Russian volumes and reach required its storage levels in case of a full cut of Russian flows.
On Nord Stream 1, the Group has reviewed the valuation of its 9% stake, due to the heightened risk profile of its unique customer, Gazprom, reducing therefore its value to €305 million, down €259 million compared to December 31, 2021. This change in fair value does not affect the profit and loss account, as it is taken directly to ENGIE's equity.
As indicated previously, on Nord Stream 2, the Group, as a lender, was exposed to €987 million of credit risk as of December 31,2021, including the value of the loan provided plus the accrued interests. ENGIE has recognized, as of March 31, 2022, a €987 million credit loss for the loan and accrued interests. This non-operating credit loss did not impact the Group's recurring P&L.
ENGIE added 2.2 GW of renewable capacity in the first half, including 1.3 GW commissioned. The Group is on track to meet its target to add 4 GW on average per year of renewable capacity until 2025. This target is fuelled by a growing pipeline that totalled 71 GW at end of June 2022, up 5 GW compared to December 2021.
The additional capacity comprised notably 952 MW for Moray East offshore wind park, commissioned by Ocean Winds, ENGIE's joint venture with EDPR dedicated to offshore wind which continues to grow strongly. On 7 July 2022, the Moray West offshore wind farm project was awarded a 15-year Contract for Difference for the delivery of 294 MW offshore wind generation at 37.35£/MWh (in 2012 prices). Ocean Winds also officially launched Ocean Winds Brazil in June, a market with a potential of 700 GW for offshore wind, and is currently applying to license five new offshore wind projects for a total capacity of 15 GW.
As previously announced, the adoption of the "Aménagement du Rhône" law in France in February 2022, allowed ENGIE, through its subsidiary CNR, to extend its role in hydro activities by 18 years to 2041. As part of this extension, ENGIE is making several commitments representing an investment of more than 1 billion euros (nominal value) over the period to 2041.
Energy Solutions experienced strong commercial momentum, especially in distributed energy infrastructures with various contracts won or renewed both in local energy networks and on-site energy production.
0.5 GW net installed capacity have been added in distributed energy Infrastructures in the first half 2022.
Awarded revenue in backlog for French concessions increased by €1.3 billion compared to December 31, 2021 to €18.1 billion.
Regarding EQUANS, the SPA with Bouygues was signed on 12 May, after conclusion of the consultation period with relevant employee representative bodies. In July European Commission approved the acquisition of EQUANS by Bouygues, under the EU Merger Regulation. The approval is conditional on full compliance with commitments offered by Bouygues.
The Group is on track for completion of this transaction in the second half, which will represent a major step in the implementation of its strategy.
On geographic rationalization, the Group will be operating in 35 countries once closing of the signed deals is effective. ENGIE targets to be in less than 30 countries by 2023.
Capex in the first half amounted to €3.3 billion, of which €2.2 billion growth Capex, dedicated to Renewables, Networks and Energy Solutions activities, thus fully aligned with ENGIE's strategic roadmap.
In a context of high levels of inflation, ENGIE maintained the momentum on efficiency improvements through the implementation of its performance plan and net EBIT contribution in the first half reached €163 million. Efforts to improve performance of loss-making entities continues, with a particular focus on EVBox.
As a reminder, ENGIE expects 2022-2023 performance plan contribution to reach c. €0.5 billion net EBIT contribution.
On 18 March 2022, Belgian government announced its decision to revise its energy policy in light of the unprecedented geopolitical situation, and asked ENGIE to extend the operational lifetime of the Doel 4 and Tihange 3 reactors until 2035.
On 21 July 2022, ENGIE, through its subsidiary Electrabel SA, and the Belgian State have signed a non-binding Letter of Intent to assess the potential feasibility and terms of this extension.
The objective is to negotiate and agree a binding legal agreement by 31 December 2022, while ensuring a balanced distribution of risks and opportunities that offers each party stability and a fair transaction structure for the long term.
The Letter of Intent comprises a number of inseparable conditions, among which:
ENGIE will continue to work constructively with the Belgian State towards supporting the security of supply for Belgium.
During the first-half 2022, greenhouse gas emissions from energy production were reduced to 30 million tons.
ENGIE also increased the share of Renewables in its portfolio to 36% as at June 30, 2022 from 34% at the end of 2021 mainly by adding 2.2 GW of new Renewable capacity in H1.
On gender diversity, ENGIE had 30% women in management at the end of H1 2022 compared to 29% at the end of 2021. These figures have been restated to exclude EQUANS.
Revenue at €43.2 billion was up 72.3% on a gross basis and 71.3% on an organic basis.

Revenue for Renewables amounted to €2,485 million, up 60.5% on a gross basis and 49.7% on an organic basis. Gross increase included positive foreign exchange effects, mainly linked to the appreciation of the Brazilian real against the euro. On an organic basis, revenue increased mainly in France thanks to better achieved hydro prices and in the United States, Brazil, and Chile with newly commissioned assets.
Revenue for Networks amounted to €3,650 million, down 0.8% on a gross basis and 1.4% on an organic basis. Gross decrease included positive foreign exchange effects, mainly in Brazil and negative scope effect with asset sale in Turkey. French infrastructures revenues decreased as a result of lower distributed volumes due to warmer temperature compared to H1 2021, partly offset by higher revenues in transportation, terminalling and storage activities. Outside France, revenues decreased organically reflecting the reduction in construction revenues following progressive commissioning of transmission lines in Brazil, partly offset by higher revenues in Mexico and Argentina.
Energy Solutions revenue amounted to €5,587 million, up 18.5% on a gross basis and 21.9% on an organic basis. Gross increase included negative scope effect mainly with Endel sale and positive foreign exchange effect notably in the United States and in Asia Pacific. Organically, French distributed energy infrastructures and energy efficiency services benefitted from increased levels of activity. Activities in Italy and in Germany also experienced positive organic growth
Revenue for Thermal stood at €3,222 million up 90.0% on a gross basis and 77.5% on an organic basis. The gross increase included positive foreign exchange effects mainly in Latin America and negative scope effect with the disposal of the Jorge Lacerda coal power plant in Brazil in October 2021. The organic variance was mainly driven by the strong performance of Thermal activities in Europe thanks to exceptional market conditions allowing to capture higher spreads and increased ancillaries, as well as, to a lesser extent, in Latin America with the indexation of PPA contracts in a context of rising commodity prices and inflation.
Revenue for Supply amounted to €8,169 million, up 69.4% on a gross basis and 69.1% on an organic basis. Increase was mainly driven by higher commodity prices, only partly offset by volume effect due to milder temperature compared to H1 2021.
Nuclear reported almost no external revenue post-elimination of intercompany operations, as its production was sold internally to other ENGIE businesses.
Revenue for the Others segment amounted to €20,077 million. The strong increase is mainly driven by increase in commodity prices combined with higher volumes.
EBITDA at €7.5 billion, was up 44.3% on a gross basis and up 43.2% on an organic basis.

Renewables reported a 53.5% organic EBIT growth, benefitting from contribution of new capacity commissioned (+€146 million) and price effects (+€86 million) with higher prices in Europe (mainly for French hydro) despite buybacks in Portugal and France due to poor hydro volumes.
EBIT also benefitted from the performance plan implemented (€+35 million) and positive volume effects (+€25 million) with the reversal of 2021 Texas extreme weather event impact, only partly offset by lower hydro volumes in France and Portugal.
Profit sharing through higher taxes on CNR hydro production in France (up €65 million to €155 million), that resulted from the change in tax calculation scheme resulting from the adoption of the "Aménagement du Rhône" law last February, also partly offset these positive effects. The tax rate, which now varies according to captured power prices, increased to 35% for H1 2022 from 24% (fixed) in the previous scheme.
In some US power market areas, the Group is experiencing an increasing transmission congestion, leading to revenue losses. Although this so-called "basis risk" had no material financial impact so far, it is a risk that is being closely monitored and with a strive to reduce.

(1) As of December 31, 2021.
Networks reported a 3.9% organic EBIT decrease. French Infrastructures EBIT was down €139 million mainly driven by warmer temperature versus last year, impacting distribution activities, lower revenues from French assets reflecting regulatory reviews where effects are smoothed over the 4-year regulatory period, and higher energy costs. These effects, only partly offset by higher margins for Storengy in the UK in a volatile price environment.
Outside France, Networks were up €80 million, benefitting from higher contributions in Latin America mainly driven by power transmission lines higher contribution, performance in gas transmission in Mexico and Brazil and inflation indexation, partly offset by warmer temperatures across Europe.
Important to mention also that for most of ENGIE's activities in Latin America, revenues are indexed to inflation. It is the same for the Group's regulated gas networks in France, where the RAB is inflated yearly, translating to higher revenues through the RAB remuneration rate, while the impact of inflation on cost basis is covered over time.

Energy Solutions reported a negative 8.8% organic EBIT variation.
Distributed energy infrastructures activities EBIT increased by €2 million to reach €232 million, driven by a good commercial dynamic, notably with new District Heating and Cooling customers partly offset by warmer temperature mainly impacting District Heating networks in Europe. Energy Efficiency services EBIT was down €6 million to €(6) million, driven by the reversal of positive 2021 one-offs and an increase in digital costs, only partly offset by higher energy prices and good performance on energy sales.
Lastly, EVBox contribution was down to a negative €66 million. This underperformance also reflects balance sheet adjustments, whose order of magnitude is similar to the €-11 million H1 organic decrease. Overall production is ramping up and process enhancements are ongoing and the second half will be important in driving revenue improvements.

Thermal provides important flexibility in a backdrop of intermittent renewables and is contributing to future security of supply.
Thermal reported a 16.6% organic EBIT increase. This positive variance is mainly linked to price effects (+€213 million), with higher spreads for European gas plants and pumped storage assets, only partly offset by a reduction in PPA margins due to higher sourcing spot prices in Chile caused by poor hydrology and lower production, and an adverse gas merchant position in Australia. Contribution from ancillaries and Capacity Remuneration Mechanisms for European gas plants and pumped storage (+€85 million) also increased, as well as gains from the performance plan (+€43 million). Thermal EBIT was impacted by lower volumes compared to last year (€-88 million) due to higher cost of outages in Europe and lower demand in Peru and Chile as well as other drivers (€-158 million) including the implementation of an extraordinary tax in Italy (1) , which ENGIE is contesting.

In France, ENGIE serves 2.5 million BtoC customers with regulated gas tariffs. To support affordability in the current commodity price environment, the French Government decided to implement a tariff freeze for regulated customers from November 1, 2021. The amended 2022 budget law enabled ENGIE and other suppliers to be compensated for loss in revenue due to this measure, therefore allowing ENGIE to book receivables and be kept economically neutral. This measure, initially proposed to end on 30 June 2022, has been extended until December 31, 2022.
(1) For a total amount (Thermal + "Others") of €308 million.
Supply EBIT, at €424 million, more than doubled compared to H1 2021. This strong increase was mainly driven by price effects (+€139 million) with positive timing effect on power margin in France, partly offset by gas and power margin squeeze and price cap mechanism in Romania. Volume effects also contributed to this increase (+€132 million), with Q1 2022 mild temperature leading to a long gas position that could be monetized in exceptional market conditions, more than offsetting the normative sensitivity at EBIT level. Both positive effects were only partly offset by higher bad debt provisions.

ENGIE's nuclear assets in Belgium achieved high level of availability of 85%. This level is below H1 2021 level (92%) due to higher outages, notably for Tihange 1, but still indicative of the operational excellence.
EBIT for Nuclear amounted to €858 million for H1 2022. This performance was driven by much higher average achieved prices (95.6€/MWh, up +48.5€/MWh versus H1 2021 before nuclear tax) leading to a positive variation of +€1,112 million, partly offset by increasing taxes specific to units in Belgium, increasing by €267 million to a total of €312 million. Lower volumes produced both in Belgium and France negatively impacted the Nuclear EBIT by €135 million.
EBIT amounted to €846 million, representing an organic increase of €1,007 million compared to H1 2021.
H1 2022 saw consecutive new highs in commodity prices along with huge volatility, and rising geographic spreads, leading to an exceptional outperformance on all GEMS activities: gas optimization, customers risk management and trading activities. On the other hand, GEMS EBIT suffered from costs of hedging actions to reduce Gazprom exposure and the implementation of the Italian extraordinary tax (1) , which ENGIE is contesting.
Other elements (+€151 million) as internal costs reclassification and lower net insurance costs also benefitted to the EBIT variation.
Results from GEMS activities have been assessed by applying consistent policies, factoring a fair valuation of physical risks. In this unprecedented market environment with risk of gas supply disruption, ENGIE reinforced its risk control processes, adapted or implemented new hedging strategies and improved its liquidity monitoring framework.

Income from operating activities amounted to €8,736 million, representing an increase compared with first-half 2021, mainly due to (i) EBIT growth, (ii) unrealized gains on commodity hedges driven by price increases, in particular on certain economic hedges on electricity not designated as cash flow hedges, and (iii) lower impairment losses, (iv) partially offset by lower gains on asset disposals.
Income from operating activities was affected by:
The net financial loss amounted to €2,082 million in first-half 2022, compared with €608 million in first-half 2021 (see Note 9). This change is mainly due to the impairment loss recognized on the Nord Stream 2 loan (€987 million) and the negative impact of the changes in the fair value of money market funds held by Synatom. Adjusted for non‐recurring items, the net financial loss amounted to €972 million in first-half 2022, compared with €702 million in first-half 2021. This
deterioration is due in particular to the increase in the average cost of gross debt, mainly as a result of higher interest rates in Brazil and the appreciation of the Brazilian real against the euro.
The income tax expense for first-half 2022, amounted to €1,765 million (versus €941 million in first-half 2021). Adjusted for these non-recurring items, the recurring effective tax rate was 18.8% at June 30, 2022 compared with 34.3% at June 30, 2021, mainly due to:
The total effective tax rate amounted to 28.5% (compared with 31.7% in first-half 2021), mainly due to the non-taxation of non-recurring losses on financial instruments, mainly in Europe, and to the recognition in 2021 of provisions for tax contingencies, relating to the State aid litigation in Luxembourg (increase of approximately 4 points compared with 2021).
Net recurring income, Group share relating to continuing operations amounted to €3.2 billion compared to €1.3 billion in first-half 2021. This increase was mainly driven by the strong growth in EBIT and recurring effective tax rate decrease from 34.3% to 18.8%.
Net income, Group share amounted to €5.0 billion. The €2.7 billion increase compared to first-half 2021 is mainly linked to the higher net recurring income of continuing activities and the positive effect of the mark-to-market on commodity contracts other than trading instruments, despite credit loss recognition on the Nord Stream 2.
Net income attributable to non-controlling interests amounted to €52 million, compared with €74 million in first-half 2021.
Net financial debt stood at €26.3 billion up €1.0 billion compared to December 31, 2021. This increase was mainly explained by:
These negative elements were only partly offset by:

Cash flow from operations amounted to €6.8 billion, up €2.5 billion compared to first-half 2021. This increase was mainly due to higher operating cash-flows (+€2.1 billion) and positive changes in working capital requirements (+€0.6 billion), primarily driven by positive margin calls effects (+€4.0 billion) more than offsetting aggregate negative price effects (-€3.8 billion, mainly due to higher valuation of gas stocks (-€2.3 billion), net receivables (-€1.7 billion) and unbilled BtoC volumes (+€0.2 billion) linked to energy in the meter).
The securitization of the gas tariff shield deficit cumulated between November 2021 and March 2022, representing €0.7 billion, enabled to reduce the impact of the latter on the change in working capital requirements.
Liquidity stood at €23.1 billion, including €14.5 billion of cash (1) . The Group maintained a strong level of liquidity, by implementing dedicated management actions to address pressure on liquidity, mainly caused by unprecedented levels of commodity prices.

The carrying amount of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets was €60.4 billion, up €2.6 billion compared with December 31, 2021. This increase was primarily the result of acquisitions and development capital expenditure during the period (€4.0 billion positive impact, including the right-of-use asset relating to the extension of the Rhône concession to CNR for €0.8 billion), foreign exchange effects (€1.5 billion positive impact mainly due to the appreciation of the US dollar and the Brazilian real), and was partially offset by depreciation and amortization charges (€2.2 billion negative impact).
Goodwill amounted to €13.0 billion, stable compared with December 31, 2021.
Investments in equity method entities increased by €1.4 billion, primarily due to the acquisition of Eolia Renovables (see Note 3.3).
Total equity amounted to €49.8 billion, up €7.8 billion on December 31, 2021. The increase stemmed mainly from other comprehensive income (€5.2 billion positive impact, including a positive €2.3 billion of actuarial gains and losses, a positive €2.3 billion of cash flow hedges on commodities, and a positive €1.4 billion of translation adjustments) and from net income for the period (€5.1 billion positive impact), partially offset by dividends paid (€2.5 billion negative impact).
Provisions amounted to €23.6 billion, a decrease of €1.9 billion compared with December 31, 2021. This decrease stemmed mainly from actuarial gains on provisions for post-employment benefits and other long-term benefits (which deducted €2 billion from the provision amount) owing to the sharp rise in discount rates over the period (see Note 14).
The increase in derivative instruments compared with December 31, 2021 is mainly due to the change in commodity prices over the period.
At June 30, 2022, "Assets classified as held for sale" and "Liabilities directly associated with assets classified as held for sale" mainly comprised the EQUANS activities.

ENGIE SA, the parent company of the Group, is a French société anonyme with a Board of Directors and is subject to the provisions of Book II of the French Commercial Code (Code de Commerce), as well as to all other provisions of French law applicable to French commercial companies. It was incorporated on November 20, 2004 for a period of 99 years. It is governed by current and future laws and by regulations applicable to sociétés anonymes and its bylaws.
The Group is headquartered at 1, place Samuel de Champlain, 92400 Courbevoie (France).
ENGIE shares are listed on the Paris, Brussels and Luxembourg Stock Exchanges.
On July 28, 2022, the Group's Board of Directors approved and authorized for issue the interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Group and its subsidiaries for the six months ended June 30, 2022.
In accordance with the European Regulation on international accounting standards dated July 19, 2002, the Group's annual consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as published by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and endorsed by the European Union (1). The Group's interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2022 were prepared in accordance with the provisions of IAS 34 – Interim Financial Reporting, which allows entities to present selected explanatory notes. These do not therefore incorporate all of the notes and disclosures required by IFRS for the annual consolidated financial statements, and accordingly must be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021, subject to specific provisions relating to the preparation of interim condensed consolidated financial statements as described hereafter (see Note 1.3).
The accounting principles used to prepare the Group's interim condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with those used to prepare the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021, apart from the following developments in IFRS presented below.
These amendments and annual improvements do not have a material impact on the Group's consolidated financial statements.
(1) Available on the European Commission's website:
https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/en/TXT/PDF/?uri=CELEX:32002R1606&from=EN
In its March 2021 decision, the IFRS Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) clarified the method for recognizing configuration and customization costs for software used in SaaS (Software as a Service) arrangements. According to the IFRIC, some of these costs should be recognized as expenses (and not as an intangible asset). This decision do not have a material impact on the Group's consolidated financial statements.
The impact of these standards and amendments is currently being assessed.
The preparation of consolidated financial statements requires the use of estimates and assumptions to determine the value of assets and liabilities and contingent assets and liabilities at the reporting date, as well as income and expenses reported during the period.
Developments in the economic and financial environment, particularly relating to highly volatile commodities markets and the war in Ukraine, have prompted the Group to step up its risk oversight procedures, mainly in measuring financial instruments, assessing the risk of cuts in the natural gas supply, as well as counterparty and liquidity risks. The estimates used by the Group, among other things, to test for impairment and to measure provisions, take into account this environment and the sharp market volatility.
Accounting estimates are made in a context that remains sensitive to energy market developments, therefore making it difficult to apprehend medium- and short-term economic prospects. Particular attention has been paid to the consequences of sharp fluctuations in the price of gas and electricity in the first half of 2022.
Due to uncertainties inherent in the estimation process, the Group regularly revises its estimates in light of currently available information. Final outcomes could differ from those estimates.
The key estimates used in preparing the Group's consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2022 relate mainly to:
• measurement of the recoverable amounts of goodwill, property, plant and equipment and intangible assets (see Note 8.1 "Impairment losses" and Note 11 "Goodwill, property, plant and equipment and intangible assets");
(1) These standards and amendments have not yet been adopted by the European Union.
As well as relying on estimates, Group management also makes judgments to define the appropriate accounting treatment for certain activities and transactions, especially when the effective IFRS standards and interpretations do not specifically deal with the related accounting issues.
In particular, the Group exercised its judgment in:
In accordance with IAS 1, the Group's current and non-current assets and liabilities are presented separately in the consolidated statement of financial position. In view of most of the Group's activities, it has been considered that the criterion to be retained for the breakdown into current and non-current items is the term in which assets are expected to be realized, or liabilities extinguished: current if the term is shorter than 12 months and non-current if the term exceeds 12 months.
The Group's operations are intrinsically subject to seasonal fluctuations, but key performance indicators and operating income are influenced even more by changes in climatic conditions than by seasonality. Consequently, the interim results for the six months ended June 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of those that may be expected for full-year 2022.
Current and deferred income tax expense for interim periods is calculated at the level of each tax entity by applying the average estimated annual effective tax rate for the current year to the taxable income for the interim period, with the exception of significant exceptional items. Significant exceptional items, if any, are recognized using their specific applicable taxation.
Pension costs for interim periods are calculated on the basis of the actuarial valuations performed at the end of the prior year. If necessary, these valuations are adjusted to take account of curtailments, settlements or other major non-recurring events that have occurred during the period. Furthermore, amounts recognized in the statement of financial position in respect of defined benefit plans are adjusted, if necessary, in order to reflect material changes impacting the yield on investment-grade corporate bonds in the geographic area concerned (benchmark used to determine the discount rate) and the value and actual return on plan assets.
The previously published financial statements presented hereafter have been restated to take into account the presentation in the financial statements at June 30, 2021 (the income statement, statement of comprehensive income and statement of cash flows) of EQUANS activities held for sale (see Note 3 "Main changes in Group structure") as discontinued operations insofar as they represent a separate major line of business within the meaning of IFRS 5 – Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations.

CASH FLOW FROM OPERATIONS (CFFO) 4,294 (144) 113 4,263
(1) In view of the start of work related to nuclear exit in Belgium, the definition of cash flow from operations (CFFO) has been adjusted to exclude expenditure on the dismantling of nuclear power plants and the management of radioactive materials and waste. These expenses are now presented together with investments to cover nuclear provisions, under a dedicated heading. The data at June 30 2021 have been restated accordingly.
As part of the presentation of its new strategy, the Group confirmed on May 18, 2021 a significant increase in its asset portfolio rotation program which, in the medium term, could represent a budget of at least €11 billion.
The table below shows the impact of the main disposals and sale agreements of first-half 2022 on the Group's net debt, excluding partial disposals with respect to DBSO (1) activities:
| In millions of euros | Disposal price | Reduction in net debt |
|---|---|---|
| Earn out related to the disposal of a share of ENGIE's interest in SUEZ – France | 347 | 347 |
| Disposal of ENGIE's residual interest in SUEZ – France | 227 | 227 |
| Disposal of a share of ENGIE's interest in GTT – France | 298 | 298 |
| Other disposals that are not material taken individually | 301 | 156 |
| TOTAL | 1,173 | 1,028 |
The €1,028 million reduction in net financial debt at June 30, 2022 is in addition to the €2,320 million decrease previously recognized at December 31, 2021 as part of the asset disposal program, representing a total of €3,348 million to date. Disposals in the process of completion at June 30, 2022 are described in Note 3.2 "Assets held for sale".
On October 6, 2020, the Group sold 29.9% of its stake in SUEZ SA to the VEOLIA Group. This sale was subject to an earn-out mechanism if the VEOLIA Group carried out other capital transactions on SUEZ at a price higher than that of the 29.9% block sold by ENGIE.
In 2021, the VEOLIA Group launched a takeover bid for SUEZ at a price of €20.50 per share (cum dividend) which closed successfully on January 7, 2022. At the end of 2021, the ENGIE Group considered that all the conditions had been met to recognize the €347 million in income related to the earn-out mechanism negotiated with the VEOLIA Group.
ENGIE cashed in this earn-out on January 19, 2022, once the takeover bid had been closed
On January 18, 2022, the Group also contributed its remaining 1.8% stake in SUEZ as part of the public offer initiated by the VEOLIA Group. This transaction has no impact on the Group's 2022 results, as the interest was measured at fair value at December 31, 2021. The effects of the transaction have reduced the Group's net financial debt by €227 million.
On March 24, 2022, ENGIE announced the sale of a stake in GTT representing approximately 9% of the share capital at a price of €90 per share.
The transaction did not change ENGIE's representation on GTT's Board of Directors. Consequently, following the disposal, ENGIE has maintained its significant influence and therefore continues to account for its residual 21.4% interest in GTT
(1) Develop, Build, Share and Operate, a model used in renewable energies based on continuous rotation of capital employed.
using the equity method. This interest could be reduced to 11.4% if the Group were to exchange the exchangeable bonds issued in 2021 by 2024.
The effects of the transaction have reduced the Group's net financial debt by €298 million. The disposal gain before tax amounted to €74 million in first-half 2022.
Total "Assets classified as held for sale" and total "Liabilities directly associated with assets classified as held for sale" amounted to €12,121 million and €7,039 million, respectively, at June 30, 2022.

The assets related to Endel and its main subsidiaries recorded as "Assets classified as held for sale" at December 31, 2021 were sold in first-half 2022.
"Assets classified as held for sale" at June 30, 2022 corresponds to the EQUANS entities and certain renewable energy assets in Mexico (the sale of which is highly probable but remains subject to various approvals being obtained). These transactions are expected to be completed in second-half 2022.
The activities of the EQUANS entities continue to be classified in the Group's consolidated financial statements as discontinued operations as they represent a separate major line of business pursuant to IFRS 5 – Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations. Consequently, the net income or loss generated by these activities is presented on a separate line after income from continuing operations. The comparative income statement data for the previous period have been restated on the same basis.
On November 5, 2021, the Group entered into exclusive negotiations with Bouygues for the sale of 100% of EQUANS, based on a unilateral firm and binding offer.
EQUANS encompasses the Group's activities in multi-technical services for companies worldwide, mainly in France and Europe: design, engineering, works, operation, installation, maintenance, facility management, etc. The scope of these activities constituted a reportable segment (see Note 4 "Segment information" to the condensed consolidated interim financial statements at June 30, 2021).
EQUANS was classified under "Assets held for sale" and "Discontinued operations" on November 5, 2021. This assumption was based on the firm and binding sale option signed on November 5, 2021, and on the nature of the conditions precedent to be met at the date of receipt of the offer. The impact of this classification on the Group's consolidated financial statements was as follows:
net income generated in first-half 2022 is presented on a single line of the income statement entitled "Net income/(loss) from discontinued operations". The comparative income statement data for first-half 2021 have been restated in accordance with IFRS 5 (see Note 2 "Restatement of 2021 comparative data");
recyclable and non-recyclable items relating to discontinued operations are identified separately in the statement of comprehensive income for first-half 2022 and first-half 2021;
Given the expected capital gain from the disposal, no value adjustment has been recorded.
The disposal should be completed in the second half of 2022. The combined effects of the transaction and of the cash generated from these activities since the closing of the transaction should reduce the Group's net financial debt by around €6.8 billion.

(1) The line "Change in loans and receivables originated by the Group and other" includes the acquisition by EQUANS of shares in the "Asset-Light Client Solutions business" held by ENGIE for a negative amount of €3,520 million and disposals, by EQUANS, of shares not constituting "Asset-Light Client Solutions business" to ENGIE for an amount of €7 million.
(2) The line "Transactions with ENGIE" includes the capital increases of EQUANS, for an amount of €2,774 million, and the increase in EQUANS' financial debt, for an amount of €1,071 million, subscribed by ENGIE to finance the above-mentioned acquisitions.
In total, acquisitions carried out in first-half 2022 had an impact of €1.2 billion on net financial debt. These acquisitions relate mainly to the agreement entered into in November 2021 by ENGIE and Crédit Agricole Assurances to acquire 97.33% of Eolia Renovables, one of Spain's largest renewable energy producers, from Canadian institutional investment manager Alberta Investment Management Corporation. The transaction covers the ownership and operation of 899 MW of operating assets (821 MW of onshore wind and 78 MW photovoltaic) and a 1.2 GW pipeline of renewable projects.
The operating assets will be 40% owned by ENGIE and 60% by Crédit Agricole Assurances while ENGIE will develop and build the pipeline of projects. ENGIE will provide a complete range of services (O&M, Asset Management, Energy Management and Development services) for the full asset scope.
The acquired assets benefit from a regulated scheme ensuring predictability of returns for the next ten years. The completion of this transaction has an impact of €0.5 billion on the Group's net financial debt. The interest in the company holding the operating assets is accounted for using the equity method. The company responsible for developing and building the pipeline of projects will be fully consolidated by ENGIE. The Group will carry out the purchase price allocation during the second half of the year.
Other acquisitions during the first half of the year relate mainly to the financing of the Group's offshore wind energy activities for €0.5 billion.
The purpose of this note is to present the main non-GAAP financial indicators used by the Group as well as their reconciliation with the indicators of the IFRS consolidated financial statements.

ENGIE is organized around:
The organization is described in Note 7 "Segment information" to the consolidated financial statements at December 31,2021.
From 2022 onwards and given the significant volatility of the commodity markets, the Group Executive Committee, which represents the chief operating decision maker as defined by IFRS 8 – Operating Segments, monitors the activities of GEMS as such, which has become an operating segment.
The reportable segments are identical to the operating segments and correspond to the activities underlying the GBUs organization.

Due to the variety of its businesses and their geographical location, the Group serves a very diverse range of situations and customer types (industry, local authorities and individual customers). Accordingly, no external customer represents individually 10% or more of the Group's consolidated revenues.
NOTE 6 REVENUES
Revenues from contracts with customers concern revenues from contracts that fall within the scope of IFRS 15 (see Note 8 "Revenues" to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021).
Revenues from other contracts, corresponding to revenues from operations that do not fall within the scope of IFRS 15, presented in the "Others" column include lease or concession income, as well as any financial component of operating services.
The table below shows a breakdown of revenues by type of accounting principles:

The significant change in natural gas and electricity prices has led some governments to introduce a "tariff shield" system for natural gas and electricity, notably in France and Romania.
The measure with the most significant impact on the Group's consolidated financial statements is the measure introduced by the French government for natural gas, as part of the Finance Act for 2022 (Act no. 2021-1900 of December 30, 2021). The regulated rates have been capped at the October 1, 2021 levels, from November 1, 2021 until December 31, 2022 (the decree of June 25, 2022 extended the mechanism initially in place until June 30, 2022). The loss of revenue incurred by ENGIE qualifies as expenses attributable to public service obligations and is subject to guaranteed compensation by the State. The subsidy recognized in profit or loss in first-half 2022 amounted to approximately €623 million (€248 million in 2021) and is recorded in the "Supply" category of the "Others" column ("Revenues excluding IFRS 15"). On June 27, 2022, the Group signed a non-recourse assignment agreement with Natixis, under the so-called "Dailly" law, to assign a portion of this receivable, amounting to approximately €741 million.

NOTE 6 REVENUES
The €18.1 billion increase in revenues compared to June 30, 2021 is mainly due to higher commodity prices in a context of high volatility, particularly in GEMS and Supply activities.

The cost of net debt is higher than first-half 2021 mainly due to the increase in interest rates in Brazil and the depreciation of the euro against the Brazilian real.
Losses from debt and equity instruments amounted to €1,149 million in first-half 2022. This amount mainly includes the impairment of the loan granted to Nord Stream 2 for €987million and the negative change in fair value of money market funds held by Synatom for €245 million (positive €118 million in first-half 2021).

In first-half 2022, the net increase in "Goodwill", "Intangible assets" and "Property, plant and equipment" resulted primarily from:
Goodwill is tested for impairment at least once a year and also where an indication of impairment is identified.
(1) Develop, Build, Share and Operate, a model used in renewable energies based on continuous rotation of capital employed.
NOTE 11 GOODWILL, PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS
During the first half of the year, the Group did not identify any risk of impairment of goodwill. The current price environment remains favorable for merchant outright generation assets such as nuclear, thermal and hydroelectric power plants.
In addition, with regard to the Belgian government's announcements in March 2022 concerning the envisaged extension of part of the nuclear units beyond 2025, the Group signed a non-binding letter of intent on July 21, 2022 to assess the potential feasibility and terms of an extension of the two most recent nuclear units Doel 4 and Tihange 3. At this stage of the discussions, it is not possible to draw any conclusions from an accounting perspective, in particular on the value of the assets and the Cash Generating Units concerned.

The Group's equity instruments amounted to €1,716 million at June 30, 2022 of which €908 million in listed securities.
This amount includes the minority interest held by the Group in Nord Stream AG now valued at €305 million, down €259 million compared to December 31,2021 due to the heightened risk profile of Nord Stream's single customer, Gazprom. This change in fair value does not affect the income statement, as it is recorded as a reduction in other items of the statement of comprehensive income.
The decrease notably includes the disposal of the remaining 1.8% interest in SUEZ for €227 million.

Cash and cash equivalents totaled €14,655 million at June 30, 2022 (€13,890 million at December 31, 2021).
This amount notably included funds related to the green bond issues, that have not yet been allocated to the funding of eligible projects (see Chapter 5 of the 2021 Universal Registration Document).
At June 30, 2022, this amount also included €76 million in cash and cash equivalents subject to restrictions (€172 million at December 31, 2021), including €52 million of cash equivalents set aside to cover the repayment of borrowings and debt as part of project financing arrangements in certain subsidiaries.
Gains recognized in respect of "Cash and cash equivalents" amounted to €58 million at June 30, 2022 compared to €15 million at June 30, 2021.

(2) This item notably corresponds to assets related to financing for €140 million, liquid debt instruments held for cash investment purposes for €589 million, and margin calls on derivatives hedging borrowings carried in assets for €459 million (compared to €47, €596 and €977 million respectively at December 31, 2021).
(3) This item represents the interest rate component of the fair value of derivatives hedging borrowings in a designated fair value hedging relationship. It also represents the exchange rate and outstanding accrued interest rate components of the fair value of all debt-related derivatives irrespective of whether or not they qualify as hedges.
The fair value of gross borrowings and debt (excluding lease liabilities) amounted to €37,522 million at June 30, 2022, compared with a carrying amount of €39,154 million.
Financial income and expenses related to borrowings and debt are presented in Note 9 "Net financial income/(loss)".
In the first-half of 2022, changes in exchange rates resulted in a €600 million increase in net financial debt, including a €382 million increase in relation to the Brazilian real, and a €209 million increase in relation to the US dollar.
The extension of the Compagnie Nationale du Rhône's concession for a period of 20 years resulted in an increase in lease liabilities of €775 million in the first half of 2022.
Changes in the scope of consolidation (including the cash impacts of acquisitions and disposals) led to a €153 million increase in net financial debt. This change mainly reflects:
The Group carried out the following main transactions in first-half 2022:
• on March 9, 10 and 11, 2022 ENGIE SA drew on bilateral lines for a total amount of €1,485 million, for a onemonth period. The redemption took place on April 11, 2022.

(1) Derivatives hedging other items mainly include the interest rate component of interest rate derivatives (not qualifying as hedges or qualifying as cash flow hedges) that are excluded from net financial debt, as well as net investment hedge derivatives.
At June 30, 2022, derivatives hedging other items carried in liabilities include the fair value of the option embedded in the bond redeemable for GTT shares for €163 million.
The net amount of derivatives hedging commodities recognized in the statement of financial position is measured after taking into account offsetting agreements that meet the criteria set out in paragraph 42 of IAS 32. Due to the significant increase in commodity prices, this offsetting generates significant balance sheet effects in 2022 to the order of €68.7 billion and mainly concerns OTC derivatives concluded with counterparties for which the contractual terms provide for a net settlement of the transactions as well as a collateralization agreement (margin calls).
The increase in the balance of derivatives hedging commodities is due to the extreme volatility of commodity prices in the first half of 2022. Most of these derivatives mature in 2022 and 2023.
Derivative financial instruments relating to commodities classified in level 3 amounted to around €7.0 billion on assets and €5.4 billion on liabilities, and mainly include long-term gas supply contracts and electricity contracts measured at fair value through profit and loss. Due to geopolitical uncertainties, the fair value of contracts with Russian suppliers takes into account a risk of supply CUTS.
During the first-half of 2022, the Group did not make any material changes to the classification of financial instruments and did not recognize any material transfers between levels in the fair value hierarchy.
The Group paid out interest coupons for an amount of €51 million.
In accordance with the provisions of IAS 32 – Financial Instruments – Presentation, and given their characteristics, these instruments were accounted for in equity in the Group's consolidated financial statements (see "Statement of changes in equity").
The Group mainly uses derivative instruments to manage its exposure to market risks. Financial risk management procedures are set out in Chapter 2 "Risk factors and control" of the 2021 Universal Registration Document.
Sensitivities of the commodity-related derivatives portfolio used as part of the portfolio management activities at June 30, 2022 are detailed in the table below. Due to the significant increase and volatility of commodity prices on the markets, particularly over the past several months in the European zone, the price assumptions for natural gas and electricity in Europe have been revised upwards for 2022. These sensitivities have been established in the current uncertain context.
These new assumptions do not constitute an estimate of future market prices and are not representative of future changes in consolidated earnings and equity, insofar as they do not include the sensitivities relating to the purchase and sale contracts for the underlying commodities.

(1) The sensitivities shown above apply solely to financial commodity derivatives used for hedging purposes as part of the portfolio management activities.
(2) In 2021, the impact corresponds to a sensitivity of +€3/MWh for gas and +€5/MWh for electricity. For June 2022 and in relation to the sensitivities shown, more drastic upward and downward price changes, although difficult to quantify, could occur in the context of a cut in Russian gas supplies or in the event of an end to the war in Ukraine. For example, an increase (decrease) of 50€/MWh for natural gas and €/100MWh for electricity would impact sensitivities by a positive €8.3 billion (a negative €8.3 billion) and a negative €1.3 billion (a positive €1.3 billion), respectively for natural gas and electricity.
The significant increase in commodity prices in 2022 contributed to substantial changes in the fair value of financial instruments, impacting the income statement (see Note 7 "Operating expenses") as well as the other comprehensive income for the Group (see "Statement of comprehensive income").
The use of Value at Risk (VaR) to quantify market risk arising from trading activities provides a transversal measure of risk taking all markets and products into account. VaR represents the maximum potential loss on a portfolio over a specified holding period based on a given confidence interval. It is not an indication of expected results but is back-tested on a regular basis.
The Group uses a one-day holding period and a 99% confidence interval to calculate VaR, as well as stress tests, in accordance with banking regulatory requirements.
The VaR shown below corresponds to the global VaR of the Group's trading entities. The increase in VaR reflects the exceptional increase and significant volatility in commodity market prices in 2022.

A sensitivity analysis to currency risk on financial income/(loss) – excluding the income statement translation impact of foreign subsidiaries – was performed based on all financial instruments managed by the treasury department and representing a currency risk (including derivative financial instruments).
A sensitivity analysis to currency risk on equity was performed based on all financial instruments qualified as net investment hedges at the reporting date.
For currency risk, sensitivity corresponds to a 10% rise or fall in exchange rates of foreign currencies against the euro compared to closing rates.

As part of the interest rate benchmark reform, in first-half 2022, the Group benchmarked all USD denominated new financing contracts to the SOFR index. ENGIE also plans to align its derivative contracts to the same index. However, the transition of existing financing and derivative contracts indexed to US Libor will be completed by June 2023, when the publication of US Libor is expected to end.
The Group does not expect the transition to have any impact.
In the case of commodity derivative financial instruments, the counterparty risk arises from positive fair value. Counterparty risk is taken into account when calculating the fair value of these derivative instruments.
The extreme volatility of commodity prices has not significantly changed the Group's exposure thanks to the credit quality of its counterparties.
The percentage of credit exposure to "Investment Grade" counterparties was 80% at June 30, 2022.
The Group has maintained its monitoring of cash inflows and default risk in its BtoB, BtoC and Energy Management activities. The provisioning rate of these entities takes into account the uncertainty created by the significant increase in commodity prices.

At June 30, 2022, the Group impaired the loan related to the financing of the Nord Stream 2 pipeline project for a total amount of €987 million (including capitalized interest).
In the context of its operating activities, the Group is exposed to a risk of having insufficient liquidity. In addition to the risks inherent in managing working capital requirements (WCR), margin calls are required in certain market activities, which are a way of mitigating counterparty risk on hedging instruments through the use of collateral. Given the current high volatility
of the markets, these margin calls may have a significant timing impact on the Group's cash position. As part of its liquidity risk management and monitoring system, the Group has issued more letters of credit and has also used liquidity swaps to manage the impact on its cash position.

At June 30, 2022, , as lessee, the Group is potentially exposed to future cash outflows not considered in the valuation of lease liabilities of €869 million (of which approximately 88% relates to potential commitments beyond 2026). This amount relates to leases that have not yet come into force and is mainly related to real estate leases and LNG vessels.
In addition, the Group is also exposed to future cash outflows in the form of variable lease payments in connection with the extension of the Rhône concession. These variable lease payments are dependent on revenues from electricity sales.

(1) Net additions to provisions relating to EQUANS' activities are recognized in "Net income/(loss) relating to discontinued operations" in the income statement for a negative €33 million in first-half 2022.
The different types of provisions and the calculation principles applied are described in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021.
The impact of unwinding discount adjustments in respect of post-employment and other long-term benefits relates to the interest expense on the benefit obligation, net of interest income on plan assets.
The "Other" line mainly comprises actuarial gains and losses arising on post-employment benefit obligations in 2022, which are recorded in "Other comprehensive income" as well as provisions recorded against a dismantling or site rehabilitation asset.
The increase in discount rates and inflation rates observed in the first half of 2022, up by 200 and 50 points respectively, resulted in a decrease of €2,028 million in these commitments compared to December 31, 2021. In addition, net assets stood at €406 million at June 30, 2022, up €334 million compared with December 31, 2021.
At June 30, 2022, the measurement of provisions for the back-end of the nuclear fuel cycle and dismantling nuclear facilities was based, as previously, on an industrial scenario and all the technical and financial assumptions approved by the Commission for Nuclear Provisions (CPN) on December 12, 2019.
Pursuant to the law of April 11, 2003, in the second half of 2022 the CPN will perform the three-yearly review of nuclear provisions, based on the report, which will be submitted to it by Group subsidiary Synatom in September 2022.
The effects of the new technical and financial assumptions used in preparing the report are still being examined by the Group, and include in particular:
• new fees for the management and storage of high-level and/or long-lived waste and low-level and short-lived waste were approved by the Board of Directors of the Belgian Agency for Radioactive Waste and Enriched Fissile Material (ONDRAF) on May 28, 2022, based on technical scenarios adjusted to the latest safety studies.
They result in an increase in fees, in particular for low-level and short-lived waste, the impact of which on liabilities relating to operational waste or waste from dismantling is still being assessed in light of the other assumptions required, in particular volumes, transfer dates, margins for contingencies and discount rates;
Pending the finalization of the technical and financial aspects by Synatom and their transmission for approval by the CPN, the Group considers that the information available, which is mostly incomplete or not yet final and still under analysis, is not currently sufficient to appropriately assess the effects they would have on the amount of the provisions for the backend of the nuclear fuel cycle and dismantling of the nuclear production sites.
Consequently, at June 30,2022, these provisions are still based on the assumptions presented in Note 20.2 "Obligations relating to nuclear power generation activities" to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021.
Nuclear provisions are sensitive to assumptions regarding costs, timing of operations and expenditure, as well as to discount rates. Accordingly, changes in these inputs, as may result from the three-yearly review process at the end of 2022, may lead to a significant change in the provisions recorded.
The main sensitivities relating to provisions for the back-end of the nuclear fuel cycle are as follows:
With regard to provisions for dismantling and operational waste, the main sensitivities concern:
These sensitivities are calculated on a purely financial basis and should therefore be interpreted with appropriate caution in view of the variety of other inputs - some of which may be interdependent - included in the evaluation.
NOTE 14 PROVISIONS
The financial assets set aside to cover the future costs of dismantling nuclear facilities and managing radioactive fissile material and their legal framework are presented in Note 20.2.4 to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021.

The Group is party to a number of legal and anti-trust proceedings with third parties or with legal and/or administrative authorities (including tax authorities) in the normal course of its business.
Disputes and investigations are described in Note 26 to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021. The developments in disputes and investigations during the first half of 2022 are presented below.
In the past few months, the Mexican government and public authorities have taken positions and legislative and regulatory measures that directly affect private players in the energy sector (in particular renewable energy producers) and go against the letter and spirit of the latest energy sector reforms introduced in 2013 and 2014. The constitutionality and legality of some of these measures have been contested in legal proceedings launched by non-government bodies and private investors, in particular by ENGIE subsidiaries that develop or implement renewable energy projects in the country. These proceedings are currently ongoing. The Mexican President has also submitted a draft revision of the Constitution that would substantially change the regulatory framework applicable to the electricity sector. This will be discussed by parliament in the coming weeks. The draft revision has been put on hold for the first half of 2022.
The decree of March 20, 2019, known as BARYCENTRE, by which the French State set the end of the Coindre-Marèges and Saint Pierre-Marèges hydroelectricity concessions at 2048, was annulled by the Conseil d'État on April 12, 2022.
This annulment has no direct impact on the Saint Pierre-Marèges concession, whose initial term, before the aforementioned decree came into force, was set at December 31, 2062. Due to the retroactive effect of the annulment judgment, this concession will benefit from its former expiration date.
However, the annulment has significant consequences for the Coindre-Marèges concession, whose initial term expired on December 31, 2012 and which was therefore in a situation of implicit extension ("délais glissants"). Under a decree adopted in 2018, holders of concessions with implicit extension are subject to the payment of a fee to the State.
In the Púnica case (investigation into the awarding of contracts), a certain number of Cofely España employees, as well as the company itself, were placed under investigation by the examining judge in charge of the case. The criminal investigation was closed on July 19, 2021 with the referral of Cofely España and eight (former) employees to the criminal court. Cofely España lodged an appeal against this decision on September 30, 2021. On March 9, 2022, the appeal was dismissed and the referral decision upheld.
On May 9, 2019, a fine of €38 million was jointly and severally imposed on ENGIE Servizi SpA and ENGIE Energy Services International S.A. ("ENGIE ESI") by the Italian Competition Authority (the "Authority") for certain alleged anti-competitive practices relating to the award of the Consip FM4 2014 contract. An appeal was lodged with the Lazio Regional Administrative Court (Lazio RAC). On July 18, 2019, the Lazio RAC suspended the payment of the fine, and on July 27, 2020, it overturned the Authority's decision as regards both ENGIE Servizi SpA and ENGIE ESI. On
November 17, 2020, the Authority appealed the Lazio RAC's decision before Italy's highest administrative court. On May 9, 2022, the Italian administrative court rejected the Authority's appeal and upheld the Lazio RAC's reversal of the Authority's decision. On June 13, 2022, two companies filed, respectively, an application for extraordinary revocation against the administrative court's decision before the administrative court's itself, and an appeal to challenge the administrative court rejection decision before the Supreme Court. These appeals are not suspensive.
EDF brought an action against ENGIE before the Nanterre Commercial Court on July 20, 2017, seeking €13.5 million in damages for alleged losses due to unfair competitive practices pursued by ENGIE mainly in its door-to-door canvassing campaigns. In its judgment of December 14, 2017, the court ordered ENGIE to pay EDF the sum of €150,000, concluding that ENGIE was guilty of unfair competition, but acknowledging that there had been no disparagement of EDF and that ENGIE had set up training and control arrangements for its partners.
ENGIE appealed the judgment and EDF brought a cross-appeal seeking €94.7 million in damages for its alleged loss. The Versailles Court of Appeal delivered its judgment on March 12, 2019, ordering ENGIE to pay EDF €1 million. It also ordered ENGIE to cease and desist from all parasitic business practices and disparagement to the detriment of EDF, subject to a penalty of €10,000 per infringement for a period of one year.
On July 6, 2020, EDF asked the enforcement judge at the Nanterre Court to collect the penalty ordered by the Versailles Court of Appeal, seeking payment from ENGIE of the sum of €106.89 million and a final penalty of €50,000 per infringement for a period of one year. On December 11, 2020, the enforcement judge ordered ENGIE to pay EDF the sum of €230,000 and ordered a new provisional penalty of €15,000 per new infringement reported by EDF for a period of one year as of notification of the judgment.
On December 22, 2020, EDF appealed the enforcement judge's decision before the Versailles Court of Appeal. The Versailles Court of Appeal handed down its decision on July 1, 2021. It reduced ENGIE's fine to €190,000 and, considering that ENGIE had demonstrably implemented measures that were likely to be efficient and that the difficulties encountered stemmed for the most part from the behavior of service providers/partners and door-to-door salespeople, annulled the new provisional penalty and rejected EDF's request to impose a definitive penalty. EDF appealed this decision before the French Court of Cassation on July 29, 2021. ENGIE filed its statement of defense in January 2022, and the hearing has been scheduled for August 30, 2022.
Regarding the customer management services carried out on behalf of the grid manager in the electricity sector (in this case ERDF, now ENEDIS), following proceedings brought by ENGIE, in a decision of July 13, 2016, the Conseil d'État ruled that the principle whereby the grid manager pays compensation to the supplier should apply. In the same decision, the Conseil d'État denied the CRE the right to set a customer threshold beyond which the compensation would not be payable, which hitherto prevented ENGIE from receiving any compensation. In light of this decision, ENGIE brought an action against ENEDIS with the purpose of obtaining payment for these customer management services. The legislature has adopted a decision that retroactively validates the agreements entered into with ENEDIS and precludes any request for compensation for unpaid customer management services. In a decision handed down on April 19, 2019, the Constitutional Court ruled that this provision was constitutional. On April 11, 2022, the Paris Commercial Court, ruling on the merits of the case, declared the proceedings time-barred and, consequently, terminated the proceedings. The case against ENEDIS has therefore been closed.
On December 14, 2018, the Brazilian tax authorities sent ENGIE Brasil Energia S.A. tax deficiency notices for the 2014, 2015 and 2016 fiscal years considering that the company was liable for the PIS and COFINS taxes (federal value added taxes) on the reimbursement of certain fuels used in the production of energy by thermoelectric plants. The adjustments amounted to a total of 528 million Brazilian real, consisting of 229 million Brazilian real in taxes plus fines and interest.
ENGIE Brasil Energia disputes these tax deficiency notices and introduced tax claims in 2019, which the tax authorities have rejected, however. In January 2020, a request for clarification of the rulings rejecting the aforementioned claims was filed by ENGIE Brasil Energia before the tax authorities. The latter canceled the session scheduled for May 2022 and has not yet indicated a new date. ENGIE Brasil Energia will then have the possibility to lodge a final administrative appeal. If this is unsuccessful, the case will have to be brought before the ordinary courts and tribunals.
In their tax deficiency notice dated December 22, 2008, the French tax authorities questioned the tax treatment of the non-recourse sale by SUEZ (now ENGIE) of a withholding tax (précompte) receivable in 2005 for an amount of €995 million (receivable relating to the précompte paid in respect of the 1999-2003 fiscal years). The Montreuil Administrative Court handed down a judgment in ENGIE's favor in April 2019, which led the French tax authorities to appeal the decision before the Versailles Court of Appeal, which overturned the prior Court's decision on December 22, 2021. While recognizing the fiscal nature of the receivable sold, the Court did not validate the exemption of the sale price because there was no text or principle to that effect, and because the sale was not authorized by the State.
Regarding the dispute over the précompte itself, on February 1, 2016, the Conseil d'État dismissed the appeal before the Court of Cassation seeking the repayment of the précompte in respect of the 1999, 2000 and 2001 fiscal years. On June 23, 2020, the Versailles Administrative Court of Appeal found in favor of ENGIE as regards the cases seeking repayment of the précompte in respect of the 2002 and 2003 fiscal years but rejected the case in respect of the 2004 fiscal year. As the précompte receivables for 2002/2003 have been assigned, the relevant amounts have been repaid to the assignee banks. The case has been referred to the Conseil d'État by the two parties. In parallel, following the decision of the Court of Justice of the European Union of May 12, 2022, interpreting the deduction of the précompte on the redistribution by a parent company of dividends received from subsidiaries established in the European Union as incompatible with Directive 90/435/EC of 1990, a second request for a priority ruling on an issue of constitutionality was submitted to the Conseil d'État in June 2022, in order for the Constitutional Court to rule on the unconstitutionality of the précompte legislation.
Furthermore, after ENGIE and several French groups lodged a complaint, on April 28, 2016, the European Commission issued a reasoned opinion to the French State as part of infringement proceedings, setting out its view that the Conseil d'État did not comply with European Union law when handing down decisions in disputes regarding the précompte, such as those involving ENGIE. On July 10, 2017, the European Commission referred the matter to the Court of Justice of the European Union on the grounds of France's failure to comply. On October 4, 2018, the Court of Justice of the European Union ruled partially in favor of the European Commission. Following this decision, France must revisit its methodology in order to determine the précompte repayment amounts in closed and pending court cases. No action has been initiated to date due to parallel litigation proceedings on the basis of Directive 90/435/EC.
Based on a disputable interpretation of a statutory modification that came into force in 2007, the Dutch tax authorities refuse the deductibility of a portion (€1.1 billion) of the interest paid on financing contracted for the acquisition of
investments made in the Netherlands since 2000. Following the Dutch tax authorities' rejection of the administrative claim against the 2007 tax assessment, action was brought before the Arnhem Court of First Instance in June 2016. On October 4, 2018, the court ruled in favor of the tax authorities. On October 26, 2020, the ruling was confirmed by the Arnhem Court of Appeal. ENGIE Energie Nederland Holding BV ("ENGIE") considers that the Court committed errors in law and that its decision was not well-founded, either under Dutch or European law. It has therefore appealed the decision before the Court of Cassation. In July 2022, the Court of Cassation decided to refer questions on the compatibility of the Dutch legislation on interest with three of the European fundamental freedoms to the Court of Justice of the European Union for a preliminary ruling.
In 2017, the Italian tax authorities challenged the excise duty waiver for gas transfers carried out by ENGIE Italia SpA (ENGIE Italia) for industrial customers in Italy on the grounds that it did not have a certificate for these customers. The authorities plan to issue a tax reassessment for a total amount of €126 million (excise duties, VAT, late payment penalties and interest). ENGIE Italia has challenged the legality of this procedure both in light of Italian and European law and in any event deems the sanction to be disproportionate compared to a formal requirement.
In 2018, ENGIE Italia launched an appeal with the Perugia Court of First Instance requesting the cancellation of the tax reassessment notice.
In October 2018, the Court of First Instance dismissed the cancellation request, simply applying an outdated ministerial decree and ignoring ENGIE Italia's legal arguments.
ENGIE Italia appealed the ruling in November 2018 and the Court of Appeal ruled in its favor in November 2019 on the grounds that the documents requested by the Italian tax authorities were not legal and that the authorities needed to take into account the factual situation of the taxpayer to determine its requirement to pay excise duties. In 2020, the tax authorities referred the case to the Court of Cassation. In August 2021, an agreement was formalized with the Italian tax authorities leading to the payment of an amount of €3.2 million relating to excise duties. In May 2022, a final agreement was reached on the VAT portion of the dispute leading to a payment of less than €1 million.

05 STATUTORY AUDITORS' REVIEW REPORT ON THE FIRST-HALF FINANCIAL INFORMATION
This is a free translation into English of the statutory auditors' review report on the half-yearly financial information issued in French and is provided solely for the convenience of English-speaking users. This report includes information relating to the specific verification of information given in the Group's half-yearly management report. This report should be read in conjunction with, and construed in accordance with, French law and professional standards applicable in France.
In compliance with the assignment entrusted to us by your Shareholder's Meeting and in accordance with the requirements of article L. 451-1-2 III of the French monetary and financial code ("code monétaire et financier"), we hereby report to you on:
These condensed half-yearly consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Board of Directors. Our role is to express a conclusion on these financial statements based on our review.
We conducted our review in accordance with professional standards applicable in France.
A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with professional standards applicable in France and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying condensed halfyearly consolidated financial statements are not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34 - standard of the IFRSs as adopted by the European Union applicable to interim financial information.
Without qualifying our conclusion, we draw your attention to the note1.2 "Use of estimates and judgment" of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements regarding the main estimates used by the Group management, mainly related to the developments in the economic and financial environment, particularly relating to highly volatile commodities markets and the war in Ukraine.
We have also verified the information presented in the half-yearly management report on the condensed half-yearly consolidated financial statements subject to our review.
We have no matters to report as to its fair presentation and consistency with the condensed half-yearly consolidated financial statements.
