Dear Shareholders,
Before submitting the company and consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021, and the appropriation of earnings, we would like to take this opportunity to present our consolidated results, the activities of the Group and of the Parent Company during the past year, their future prospects and the other information required by law.

6 2021 ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT

In 2021 – as in the previous year – the Group proved its agility and responsiveness in both the tertiary sector and within the production value chain. Several crisis teams were appointed, prioritizing the health and safety of employees and their families. Special arrangements were put in place to ensure business continuity in compliance with the government guidance specific to each country where the Group is located.
Specifically, the Group's French companies have maintained their Covid-19 and employee protection policies by:
On that basis, Dassault Aviation demonstrated its resilience and met or exceeded its targets.

(1) 2021 proforma following the stock split
2021 order intake was EUR 12,080 million versus EUR 3,463 million in 2020. Export represented 74%.
Recent year figures are as follows, in millions of euros:
| 2021 | 2020 | 2019 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Defense Defense Export Defense France |
9,165 6,173 2,992 |
1,546 224 1,322 |
3,385 769 2,616 |
| Falcon | 2,915 | 1,917 | 2,308 |
| Total order intake | 12,080 | 3,463 | 5,693 |
| % Export | 74% | 41% | 49% |
The order intake is composed entirely of firm orders.
In 2021, Defense order intake totaled EUR 9,165 million, compared with EUR 1,546 million in 2020.
The Defense Export figure was EUR 6,173 million in 2021, versus EUR 224 million in 2020. We recorded orders from Egypt for 30 Rafale – followed by an order for an additional aircraft to complete the original order of 2015 – from Greece for 6 new and 12 pre-owned Rafale (which we bought back from the French Air and Space Force), and a support contract for Croatia following its acquisition of 12 pre-owned Rafale directly from the French government.

The Defense France amounted to EUR 2,992 million in 2021, compared with EUR 1,322 million in 2020. It mainly includes the order for 12 Rafale, the 14-year "Balzac" support contract for the Mirage 2000 (excluding engines), and the productibility contract for Tranche 5 of the Rafale. In 2020, it was essentially the 10-year "Ocean" integrated support contract (excluding engines) for the ATL2 with the French Naval Air Force that was recorded.
In 2021, 51 Falcon orders were recorded, compared with 15 in 2020. Order intake totaled EUR 2,915 million, versus EUR 1,917 million in 2020. The growth in orders is being driven by the recovery of business jet market.
In 2020, the main order was for 7 Falcon 2000LXS "Albatros" maritime surveillance and response aircraft for France, plus the associated support.
Net sales for 2021 were EUR 7,233 million versus EUR 5,489 million in 2020. Export represented 89%.
Recent year figures are as follows, in EUR million:
| 2021 | 2020 | 2019 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Defense | 5,281 | 3,263 | 5,148 |
| Defense Export Defense France |
4,549 732 |
2,699 564 |
4,261 887 |
| Falcon | 1,952 | 2,226 | 2,193 |
| Total adjusted net sales |
7,233 | 5,489 | 7,341 |
| % Export | 89% | 89% | 88% |
In 2021, 25 Rafale Export were delivered, in line with our forecast, versus 13 Rafale Export in 2020.
Defense net sales in 2021 were EUR 5,281 million versus EUR 3,263 million in 2020.
The Defense Export share was EUR 4,549 million versus EUR 2,699 million in 2020. The strong growth is largely due to the delivery of 25 new Rafale Export with the associated support, whereas 13 Rafale Export were delivered in 2020. In addition, 2021 net sales include the first 6 pre-owned Rafale delivered to Greece, among the 12 ordered.
The Defense France share was EUR 732 million versus EUR 564 million in 2020. As in 2020, Defense France net sales in 2021 do not include the delivery of Rafale in accordance with France's Military Procurement Law. However, they do take into account maintenance services (for the Rafale under the Ravel contract and the ATL2 under the Ocean contract), as well as support for other aircraft in service.
There were 30 Falcon delivered in 2021 (higher than the 25 guidance), versus 34 in 2020.
Falcon net sales in 2021 totaled EUR 1,952 million, versus EUR 2,226 million in 2020. The decrease is mainly due to the number of Falcon delivered (30 vs. 34).
****
The "book-to-bill ratio" of the Group (order intake/net sales) is 1.67 for 2021.

The consolidated backlog as of December 31, 2021 (determined in accordance with IFRS 15) was EUR 20,762 million, versus EUR 15,895 million as of December 31, 2020. The backlog has evolved as follows:
| As of December 31 | 2021 | 2020 | 2019 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Defense Defense Export |
17,633 9,874 |
13,748 8,249 |
15,465 10,725 |
|
| Defense France | 7,759 | 5,499 | 4,740 | |
| Falcon | 3,129 | 2,147 | 2,333 | |
| Total backlog | 20,762 | 15,895 | 17,798 | |
| % Export | 58% | 59% | 72% |
The backlog as of December 31, 2021 consists of the following:
Additional information on the backlog can be found in Note 25 to the consolidated financial statements.
Adjusted operating income for 2021 was EUR 527 million, compared with EUR 261 million in 2020.
R&D costs totaled EUR 551 million in 2021 and accounted for 7.6% of net sales, as against EUR 538 million and 9.8% of net sales in 2020. These amounts reflect the self-funded R&D effort focused on the Falcon 6X and Falcon 10X programs.
Operating margin was 7.3%, versus 4.8% in 2020. This increase is mainly due to the reduction in the rate of self-funded R&D.
The foreign exchange hedging rate was \$1.19/€ in 2021, compared with \$1.18/€ in 2020.
2021 adjusted financial income was EUR -26 million compared to EUR -34 million in 2020. In 2021, the impact associated with the financing component recorded under long-term military contracts was less significant due to deliveries of Rafale Export.
Adjusted net income for 2021 was up 75% at EUR 693 million, compared with EUR 396 million in 2020. Thales' contribution to the Group's net income was EUR 336 million, versus EUR 231 million in 2020.

As a result, adjusted net margin was 9.6% in 2021, as against 7.2% in 2020. This increase is mainly due to the increase in operating income).
Net income per share for 2021 was €8.34, compared with €4.76* in 2020
* 2021 proforma following the stock split.
Consolidated operating income for 2021 was EUR 545 million, compared with EUR 246 million in 2020.
R&D costs totaled EUR 551 million in 2021 and accounted for 7.6% of consolidated net sales (EUR 7,246 million), as against EUR 538 million and 9.8% of consolidated net sales in 2020. These amounts reflect the self-funded R&D effort focused on the Falcon 6X and Falcon 10X programs.
Consolidated operating margin was 7.5%, versus 4.5% in 2020.
This increase is mainly due to the reduction in the amount of self-funded R&D.
Consolidated financial income for 2021 was EUR -69 million, compared with EUR 12 million in 2020. The decline in financial income was mainly due to the negative change in the market value of hedging instruments not eligible for hedge accounting under IFRS. The market value of these instruments, purchased because of the efficient economic hedge they offer the Group, was adversely impacted by the evolution in the dollar exchange rate (\$1.1326/€ at year end-2021, versus \$1.2271/€ at year end-2020). The reduced impact of the financing component recognized under long-term military contracts due to Rafale Export deliveries partially offsets this decrease.
Consolidated net income for 2021 was up 100% at EUR 605 million, compared with EUR 303 million in 2020. Thales' contribution to the Group's net income was EUR 266 million, versus EUR 116 million in 2020.
As a result, consolidated net margin was 8.4% in 2021, as against 5.5% in 2020. This increase is mainly due to the increase in operating income.
Consolidated net income per share for 2021 was EUR 7.28, compared with EUR 3.64 in 2020*
* 2021 proforma following the stock split.
The Board of Directors decided to propose to the Annual General Meeting a dividend distribution, in 2022, of EUR 2.49 per share, corresponding to a total of EUR 208 million, i.e. a payout of 30%.
For 2021, the Group will pay EUR 139 million in employee profit-sharing and incentives, including 20% correlated social tax, whereas the application of the legal formula would have resulted in a EUR 28 million payment.
Dividends per share over the five last years are outlined in Note 32 to the Parent Company Financial Statements.
IFRS 8 "Operating Segments" requires the presentation of information per segment according to internal management criteria.


The entire activity of the Dassault Aviation Group relates to the aerospace domain. Internal reporting to the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and to the Chief Operating Officer, used for strategy and decisionmaking, does not include a performance analysis under IFRS 8 at a lower level then this sector.
The Group uses a specific indicator called "Available cash", which reflects the amount of total cash available to the Group, net of financial debts. It includes the following balance sheet items: cash and cash equivalents, current financial assets (at market value) and financial debt, excluding lease liabilities. The calculation of this indicator is detailed in the consolidated financial statements (see Note 9 of the 31.12.2021 consolidated financial statements).
The Group's available cash stands at EUR 4,879 million, an increase of EUR 1,438 million from December 31, 2020. The increase is mainly due to operating cash flow generated during the year and the decline in working capital requirement, partially offset by investments during the year and the payment of dividends.
The decline in working capital requirement is largely due to advances and progress payments received under the Defense France and Falcon contracts. This is partially offset by the decrease in advances and progress payments under the Rafale export contracts, following the services delivered during the period.
Total equity stood at EUR 5,300 million as of December 31, 2021, versus EUR 4,560 million as of December 31, 2020.
Borrowings and financial debt stood at EUR 226 million as of December 31, 2021, compared with EUR 270 million as of December 31, 2020. Borrowings and financial debt include locked-in employees' profit-sharing funds, for EUR 98 million, and lease liabilities, for EUR 128 million.
Inventories and work-in-progress rose to EUR 3,480 million as of December 31, 2021, compared with EUR 3,382 million as of December 31, 2020. The increase in inventories and work-in-progress relating to the performance of Defense France contracts and Falcon operations was partially offset by the decrease in inventories and work-in-progress for Defense Export following the services delivered during the period.
Advances and progress payments received on orders, net of advances and progress payments paid, rose by EUR 278 million as of December 31, 2021. This was mainly due to progress payments received on Defense France and Falcon orders, partially offset by the reversal of Rafale Export progress payments following the services delivered during the period.
Derivative financial instruments had a market value of EUR -81 million as of December 31, 2021, compared with EUR 81 million as of December 31, 2020. This change is essentially due to the change in the US dollar exchange rate between December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 (\$1.1326/€ as of 12/31/2021 versus \$1.2271/€ as of 12/31/2020).

Transactions occurred during 2021 are specified under Note 27 to the consolidated financial statements.
The highlights for 2021 were:

The Rafale's success was confirmed in 2021.
On the export side:
Early 2022, Rafale success was also confirmed by the signature, of a 42 (6+36) Rafale contract for Indonesia awaiting T0, and by the Greek parliament authorizing the signature of an order of 6 additional new Rafale. In early 2022 as well, Rafale M (navy version) has successfully performed tests in India.
The FCAS consists of creating a combat system built around a New Generation Fighter (NGF) combining piloted platforms (current and future generation fighters, tankers, AWACS) and drones. France has been designated lead nation on the project and Dassault Aviation lead contractor on the NGF.
Launched in February 2020, phase 1A of the FCAS demonstrators – including the New Generation Fighter – will be completed in the first quarter of 2022.
The joint concept studies (JCS) works are ongoing. The next phase of the program, Phase 1B, has not been contractualized by the parties, for no agreement having been found.
On February 24th 2022, Airbus and the Organization for Joint Armament Cooperation (OCCAR) signed the Eurodrone contract relative to the development, the production and the 5 year maintenance of 20 systems.


Airbus Defence and Space GmbH signed the contract as prime contractor, on behalf of the 3 main contractors, Airbus Defence and Space S.A.U in Spain, Dassault Aviation in France and Leonardo S.p.A. in Italia.
OCCAR represents the first 4 countries to order: Germany, France, Italy and Spain.
Dassault Aviation will be in charge of flight control and mission communication systems, (with Thales).
The fourth modernized aircraft has left the production line, while the fifth is in the final phase. A total of seven are to be upgraded by Dassault Aviation.
For the multi-mission Falcon, the following key events took place in 2021.
For France:
delivery of the sixth and last Maritime Surveillance Falcon 2000 for the Japan Coast Guards.
Commercial prospections are ongoing.
The business aviation market rebounded in 2021, particularly in the United States and in Europe. The preowned market was extremely buoyant, with historically low inventories of aircraft for sale at year-end. Lastly, business aviation traffic in the high-end segment exceeded 2019 levels, especially in the United States.
We delivered 30 Falcon (for a guidance of 25) and recorded 51 new orders this year (compared with 34 deliveries and 15 new orders in 2020).

This brand new aircraft is characterized by its long range (7,500 nm, for example New York to Shanghai, Los Angeles to Sydney, or Paris to Santiago de Chile) and the size of its cabin, the most spacious on the market, while maintaining the operational capabilities of the Falcon family. It is fitted with two Rolls Royce Pearl 10X 100% SAF-compatible engines. It has a top speed of 0.925 Mach and can land and take off on short runways, such as at London City Airport. It features innovations and technologies, some of which are borrowed from our military aircraft (smart throttle controlling the two engines, recovery mode, composite wingbox, dual head-up display for primary flight data, etc.) and a state-of-the-art cockpit.
Its cabin, the most spacious and luxurious on the market, will offer a level of modularity, which is unparalleled in its class in terms of layout. The refined cabin environment will ensure passenger comfort on long flights, with equivalent, if not better, acoustics to those of the Falcon 8X (recognized as the quietest on the market), 3,000 feet felt pressurization when cruising at 41,000 feet, improved air quality, high-speed Satcom Ka-band connectivity, and excellent flight properties (turbulence damping using digital flight controls). With all these features, it sets a new benchmark for the business jet market.
Two full-scale models are used to market the cabin worldwide.
Its entry into service is scheduled for late 2025. This brand new aircraft has been well received by the market and the first orders have already been placed.
The joint venture Dassault Reliance Aerospace Limited (DRAL) continued its activities, despite the challenging context of the Covid-19 crisis in both India and France. In 2021, the central section (T4) and fuselage junction (T15) of the Falcon 2000 were transferred to India. DRAL now makes the T12 forward sections and T3 forward tanks for the Falcon 2000, and the windshields, canopies, flight control surfaces and engine doors for the Rafale.
The Company is also continuing to:
In 2021, despite the ongoing health crisis, support for aircraft in service in the fleets of our military customers remained a priority.
Beyond executing the Rafale (Ravel) and ATL2 (Ocean) support contracts with the French Air and Space Force and French Naval Air Force to meet availability targets, the success of "vertically integrated" contracts in France was confirmed with the award of the support contract for the French Mirage 2000 (Balzac). This means that Dassault Aviation is now responsible for all services and equipment (excluding the engine, seat, radar pod and services provided by the French naval aircraft maintenance service, or SIAé) for a 14-year period.


Also worth highlighting:
For the third year running, the support efforts (Falcon Response, spare parts availability, network of maintenance centers, etc.) were recognized at the highest level by means of surveys conducted by Aviation International News (AIN) and ProPilot magazines:
This reinforces our strategy of acquiring maintenance centers globally. In 2021, the Group continued to integrate its network of excellence while increasing its market share in Falcon maintenance by:
The increase in our maintenance capabilities will continue with the expansion of two network centers: ExecuJet Dubai and ExecuJet Kuala Lumpur.
Having been announced: in 2021, closure of DFJ Wilmington and in 2022 the opening of a maintenance facility in North East (Islip, New York State).
The global network of Dassault Aviation maintenance centers now comprises more than 60 sites.
We also:

Most of our Research and Development (R&D) focuses on the development of the Falcon 6X, the Falcon 10X and the Rafale, in particular the F4 standard, and the FCAS.
The Group is also keen to improve existing products and pave the way for future products, continually striving to reduce environmental impacts while offering its customers increasing levels of service and efficiency.
Dassault Aviation is notably involved in the European CleanSky 2 project and launching Clean Aviation. Since 2008, it has been a member of CORAC (Conseil pour la Recherche Aéronautique Civile – the French Civil Aviation Research Council) within which leading manufacturers have drafted plans as part of the national Recovery Plan, which will gradually carry on initiatives from where France's "Investments for the Future" program.
Within these European and national frameworks, we are actively working on developing technologies to improve environmental performance.
More specifically, this research and innovation work includes technological development projects and concepts such as:
In addition, we are continuing to make a significant effort to increase the efficiency and reduce the environmental footprint from design, production processes and maintenance services by using the tools offered by digital technology:


As part of the Man-Machine Teaming (MMT) advanced study program, we are strengthening our scientific and industrial collaboration on methods and tools for the development, validation, verification and qualification of reliable artificial intelligence (AI) functions. We are working with the academic community and innovative companies as part of innovation ecosystems such as the one organized during the MMT program, or with technology research institutes coordinating at the national level the European movement for trusted and sovereign AI.
These projects are technically part of the plans for future military and civilian cockpits: augmented head-up displays, collaborative mission management, 3D tactical overview, crew monitoring, multi-modality and virtual assistant.
To strike a balance between short-cycle innovations and technological developments over the long term, we are working on architectures that can effectively integrate changes and disruptions, while meeting the highest safety requirements. With our InnovLab process, we bring together and formalize our rapid-application proof of concept (feasibility) demonstrations. Several of them have been launched as part of the network-based innovation process that networks creative laboratory initiatives to foster their collaborative work. We pay particular attention to relationships with a dynamic ecosystem of start-ups.
A joint research laboratory with two universities focusing on new functional materials for aviation was launched this year with two academic institutions.
A partnership agreement has also been signed with the University of Bordeaux for non-destructive testing (NDT) with multi-spectral instrumentation. The eventual creation of a large-scale, multi-technology robotic NDT platform and research work is one of the identified objectives of this cooperation.
As part of the "Paris Region AI Challenge for Industry" competition, we launched a collaborative project on the development of high-performance algorithms for the processing of time data with the winning team.
The "Leading Our Future" transformation plan aims at modernizing our infrastructure and processes to improve our competitiveness, develop, produce and support aircraft with reduced cycles and costs, and better meet the expectations of our current and future civil and military customers by drawing on the know-how of the Company's employees.
Thanks to the investment made in the Leading Our Future plan, we were able to put in place the new methodological framework, new collaborative platforms and modernized infrastructure and facilities. Some programs in development and in service are already using these assets.
Using this framework, we will continue developing the Company's transformation plan in order to meet our target of achieving supply chain continuity in all our processes and business lines until our products and services are delivered to customers.
Continuity:
between the different business lines involved in the value chain (including the collaborative engineering platform),
between the different processes equipped,
via a reference data model supporting all stakeholders (internal and external) and providing daily management indicators.
Levers have been put in place to make our production system more responsive and more resilient to supply chain contingencies:
by reorganizing purchasing and production management to better serve the industrial sectors and strengthen supplier performance management,

Dassault Systèmes' 3DExperienceTM for the collaborative engineering platform this year includes automation of the aircraft's industrialization from the design stage, as well as collaborative work with our partners during the detailed aircraft specification phase (on a virtual platform). Following its rollout on the Falcon 10X and New Generation Fighter programs, the 3DExperienceTM was implemented into the AVSIMAR maritime patrol program this year.
The new Mérignac datacenter is hosting operational data which has been gradually migrated. At our industrial sites, new buildings have been equipped with digital technology to support new collaborative work methods.
Users now have access to the new SAP-based solution for optimized global spare parts management (WorldWide Spares Distribution – WWSD).
Lastly, the Big Data plan has enabled the first management cockpits to be delivered in order to provide a management "control tower" (finance, production management, purchasing) and AI analysis of operational and production data from our aircraft to improve quality. Military Big Data based on the Dassault Systèmes platform, designed to facilitate vertically integrated support for the Rafale (Ravel), was presented to the French Chiefs of Staff. It will be available to the DMAé (Direction de la Maintenance Aéronautique – Aviation Maintenance Department within the French Armed Forces Ministry) in early 2022.
The process of transforming our industrial sectors in the context of Industry 4.0 is under way. A digital twin has been set up for the Cergy site with a model of the building and production facilities. The rollout of digital solutions to support assembly and control operations continued at all our sites, alongside the implementation of IoT (geolocation, capture of industrial environment data).
In 2021, we continued our efforts to modernize our production facilities:
The raison d'être of the Dassault Aviation's total quality is to ensure right from the start that the quality of our products and services fully meets the expectations of our customers.
At Dassault Aviation, total quality also includes the environment: we strive for continuous improvement in the environmental performance of our products and operations. We are also committed to workplace health and safety, with the aim of ensuring a high quality, safe and healthy work environment for the Company's employees.
Total quality objectives are shared with all Dassault Aviation employees. Achieving them is possible because people at the company embody the culture of quality, and because our efficient management and quality assurance system is universally applied.


Thanks to its integrated management system, Dassault Aviation holds the following certification:
In addition, it has successfully passed the 2021 certification follow-up audits by Bureau Veritas.
The Company's organization and management system have also allowed it to hold design, production and maintenance airworthiness approvals for its civil and military aircraft. These approvals, which were issued by the French, European, American and Chinese airworthiness authorities, are a recognition of Dassault Aviation's ability to design, produce and maintain civil and military aircraft in compliance with the airworthiness requirements applicable to us.
This year, we continued to modernize our quality management system, particularly in the following areas:

This chapter describes the main risks to which the Dassault Aviation Group is exposed. Some of the risks listed are covered in the Non-Financial Performance Declaration ("NFPD") in the chapter 4 of this report.
The Group is exposed to various risks and uncertainties which may affect its activities, reputation or ability to achieve its objectives.
These various factors are taken into account using a comprehensive risk management system in order to:
The risks described are the most significant net risks, categorized by residual importance (high/medium/low) following measures to mitigate them. For each risk, its impact is combined with its probability of occurrence or its short/medium/long-term nature.
| Exposure to risk | Identified Risk | Risk Category |
|---|---|---|
| High | o Dependence on supply chain | Operational risks |
| o Cyber risks for IT systems | Operational risks | |
| o Security risks | Operational risks | |
| Medium | o Risks related to the global economic and geopolitical environment | Economic and Market risks |
| o Covid-19 crisis | Economic and Market risks | |

The nature of Dassault Aviation Group's business exposes it to risks related to the uncertainties and volatility of the global economy, as well as political instability.
The Group generates a significant part of its business from government customers, and particularly from defense contracts. Public spending on these types of contracts depends on political and economic factors, which are likely to influence opportunities.
In the field of business aviation, customers are sensitive to the global economic situation and their financing capacity may depend on it.
The Covid-19 crisis continued in 2021, with repercussions for the Group's activities. Given its cooperation programs and the extent of its supply chain, the Group has had to cope with a series of constraints affecting its operations. An ending to the crisis could be impacted by the emergence of new variants, delaying the prospect of a return to normal.
After an uncertain start to the year, the civil aviation market began to recover in the second half, driven by the global economic recovery in the United States, Asia and Europe. Our updated range and extended network of service centers have positioned the Group to support the recovery, just as global interest in business aviation is increasing owing to the reduced health risks and flexibility it offers.
In the highly competitive civil aviation market, our competitors have updated their product range and are benefiting from favorable economic factors and flexibility due to their location in the dollar zone.
To address this, we are pursuing our efforts to innovate and expand our Falcon range, as well as streamline our production and reduce costs.
In addition, mindful of our customers' carbon footprint, we are fully engaged with the industry's commitments to the environmental transition and have factored the use of sustainable fuel into our strategy. In the short term, we are continuing to look at optimizing aircraft already in operation, as well as researching innovation solutions for our projects. In the medium term, Dassault Aviation is taking into account the tightening of French and European environmental regulations associated with climate change (measures adopted are detailed in §4.7"). This complex regulatory environment could potentially lead to risks of competitiveness and distortion of competition.
In the defense sector, the favorable export situation continued in 2021, driven by the geopolitical context. The search for Rafale contracts remains an ongoing challenge to synchronize production, while the launch of demonstrators remains essential for future programs.
In view of the timescales required for the development and production of our products, the complexity of aviation technology and the existence of long-term contractual obligations, managing our programs is essential for meeting our schedules and customer commitments and thus protecting our net sales.
As an industrial architect and integrator, we must manage a multitude of partners and suppliers while observing technical, legal and financial constraints, particularly in relation to contracts involving transfers of technology.
Our R&D investments, technical and technological choices, and program innovations must satisfy our customers' long-term operational needs and expectations, while integrating the requirements of increasingly stringent environmental emission standards for civil aircraft (noise, NOx, CO2, etc.).

To adapt to the market environment, we need to have flexible and responsive production lines, including within our supply chain, to ensure that our potential is in line with our production commitments and that we can cater to customer demand.
Since 2020, the effectiveness of our program management has been impacted by the crisis, which was made even more complex by the travel restrictions.
The Group launched Make in India in view of the offset obligations linked to India's contract for the purchase of 36 Rafale. Accordingly, the joint venture (Dassault Reliance Aerospace Limited) created in 2017 between Dassault Aviation and Reliance Infrastructure began manufacturing the first Falcon 2000 components in 2018.
Since 2020, despite an environment made even more complex by the health crisis, we have continued to develop our facilities, production lines and engineering department activities with our Indian partners. This will continue to be scaled up – having been significantly affected by the local health situation in 2021 – by executing the transfers, while maintaining control of quality, costs and lead times.
The contribution of suppliers makes up a significant part of our products. As a result, supplier performance (price, quality and lead time) feeds into the Group's performance, and the failure of a supplier could jeopardize our programs.
The crisis within the aviation industry caused by Covid-19 has weakened the supply chain. As our production performance depends on an adequate supply for our production lines, any instability or failure of suppliers could lead to significant disruption, delays, or even production shutdowns. In addition, current shortages of raw materials and electronic components, and the sharp increase in requirements for some industry players in 2021, have exposed us to a potential delivery risk.
Similarly, any delay or failure by our partners or suppliers in terms of development could pose major risks for our programs under development.
There are different kinds of supplier risk:
These risks are addressed during Supplier Risk Committee meetings, which examine suitable preventive or corrective measures. In addition to these measures, Dassault Aviation has tightened the process of evaluating and managing the operational performance of suppliers, so as to identify their structural and operational risks in lockstep with our production line requirements.
With the Covid-19 crisis, the cyber exposure of companies has increased and the risk of attacks has become much greater for the Group and its supply chain.
Since any IT system failure can result in data loss and business disruption, the Group has procedures in place and has taken steps to protect itself against the risk of its IT systems being attacked. Because the human factor is a major issue in cybersecurity, regular efforts are made to raise awareness and remind employees and partners of the need for vigilance.


Our surveillance and protection systems are continually being adapted at Group level in response to the changing threat. Communications infrastructure and systems have evolved in view of the need to work and interact online within a secure environment.
Our recovery plan in the event of system shutdown is tested annually to ensure the continuity of our operations.
Effective IT protection also requires all sub-contractors in the supply chain to have robust systems. To that end, an agreement was signed at the end of 2019 between the French Ministry of Armed Forces and the defense industry, calling on the latter to supply the armed forces with equipment that is more resistant to cyberattack.
The Group has also factored in the changing threat to onboard systems, the services offered to our customers, and our production facilities.
The alert level in France and abroad remains very high. The Company has remained and will continue to remain extremely vigilant against this threat, since the nature of its industrial activities and the use of its fighter jets make it a symbolic target.
The Group's personnel and its industrial, technical and scientific assets are safeguarded by systematic site access control procedures, physical protection systems, operational assessment of suppliers and a "security" step in the recruitment process. The blurring of private and work lives caused by organizational changes put in place to combat the Covid-19 pandemic has prompted greater awareness about the importance of protective measures.
The security risk is also addressed by protecting our IT systems. The gradual introduction of remote working has significantly increased exposure to the risk of industrial espionage, particularly through attempts to steal data by phishing or other Trojan horses.
Employees are made aware of the cyber risk and radicalization in the workplace, as well as procedures to remind "travelers" of the precautions necessary for a safe trip.
Lastly, the Group does not reveal any attempt to damage its image or reputation. Employees are educated on the correct use of social media in order to maintain the high level of security of our industrial assets.
The Group's performance is highly dependent on its ability to recruit, retain and grow the talent necessary to manage and develop programs. The loss of our technical skills is a risk as they are our main asset and guarantee the quality expected by our customers.
The competitive environment requires the adaptation and continuous improvement of our organizational structure. Dassault Aviation has implemented a variety of support and training initiatives with its employees for all projects in its Transformation Plan.
The activities of the Dassault Aviation Group can lead to various situations in which the health and safety of its staff could be at risk. A systematic policy of reducing occupational risks and improving working conditions has been in place for several years. The measures taken are described in Section 4.6.

The health risk posed by the Covid-19 pandemic potentially exposes our staff and could affect their wellbeing and availability. The health protocol implemented in 2020 and updated in 2021 made it possible to control the risk of infection within the Company.
Social tensions could have an impact on our production.
The Group complies with the national and international regulations applicable in the countries in which it operates, as well as standards relating to the environmental performance of its products and activities.
In terms of environmental risk control, the Environmental Management System (EMS) includes a risk analysis deployed in Dassault Aviation facilities and in its major subsidiaries.
No court has ever found the Group guilty of pollution or ordered it to pay compensation to repair damage caused to the environment. In 2021, the Group did not have to recognize any environmental liabilities.
The preventive measures taken are described in §4.7
Regarding the environmental risk of classified installations, Dassault Aviation is only required to provide financial security for one of its facilities (Decree No. 2012-633 of May 3, 2012).
Due to its geographical location, the Group has low exposure to the physical consequences of climate change, whether for its industrial sites or supply chain, which are mainly European and North American. The Group's only facility exposed to the risk of tornadoes, in Little Rock, Arkansas, has put in place a business continuity plan.
The fight against climate change is one of the European and national strategic ambitions, with a target of net zero carbon emissions by 2050 and ambitious intermediate targets in 2030 and 2040. The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) has adopted those targets in environmental standards incorporated into our product design requirements. This allows us to mitigate the transition risk associated with climate change.
The measures taken are described in Section 4.7
The Group may be exposed to potential risks resulting from its products, activities or practices. To protect itself from risks that could have a lasting impact on its image, the Group has put in place organizational measures and tools consistent with the risks identified. It has also established various operating procedures and issued guidance on best practice. These measures form part of its strategy on corporate social responsibility.
Most of these risks are regulated, and some are included in the Non-Financial Performance Declaration ("NFPD") in Chapter 4 of this report.

The nature of the Group's business means that it is subject to an extremely diverse and continually changing legal and regulatory framework with increasingly stringent requirements:
Other regulations, at times extra-territorial in nature (particularly from the United States), create additional constraints and uncertainties (embargos, restrictive measures, ITAR, ethics, etc.).
This complex regulatory environment has the potential to cause compliance risks and risks of obsolescence (particularly among certain suppliers and sub-contractors, with the associated costs and lead times), competitiveness or distortion of competition.
To mitigate this risk, the Group has established a compliance program to ensure strict compliance with laws and regulations.
Innovation has become an essential tool to guarantee the success of the Group's products.
The protection of intellectual property, principally via patents, copyright and trademarks, is a major challenge in the protection of our assets. In particular, Dassault Aviation uses intellectual property rights to protect its technology, to prevent competitors from using that protected technology, and to remain competitive. Regarding the FCAS/NGF contract, the Company shall guard against the risk of know-how leakage.
Dassault Aviation has always focused on protecting its innovations through confidentiality. Employees are encouraged to take the necessary measures to avoid any inadvertent disclosure. Some of our innovations remain secret and evidence of their creation is produced, if necessary. Other innovations are patented.
The portfolio of Dassault Aviation patents continues to grow. It comprises French or foreign patents filed in strategic countries. Trademarks are also registered regularly to protect the names of the Company's leading products and services in the countries where it operates. Awareness-raising sessions focusing on intellectual property and confidentiality are organized periodically for the employees concerned to ensure they are able to actively protect the Company's technological assets.
Employees are encouraged to create inventions through a pay policy that has been tailored accordingly. An "Intellectual Property Committee" meets regularly to decide on the necessary protections for the Company's strategic inventions.
The Group investment portfolio is primarily composed of money market investments as classified by the AMF, with no significant risk of impairment.
The bond investments made by the Group are mainly investments with a short-term management horizon, and the unspecified investments, as defined by the AMF classification, are mainly invested in short-term and money mutual funds.

The Group performs its cash and foreign exchange transactions with recognized financial institutions. It divides its investments and bank accounts among the various selected institutions.
The Group limits counterparty risk by conducting most of its sales in cash and ensuring that the loans granted to a limited number of customers are secured by export insurance guarantees (Bpifrance Assurance Export) or collateral. The manufacturing risk is also guaranteed with Bpifrance Assurance Export for major military export contracts.
Additional information is available in Notes 8 "Trade and other receivables" and 24.2 "Management of credit and counterparty risks" to the consolidated financial statements.
The Group is exposed to a foreign exchange risk through the Parent Company's Falcon sales, which are virtually all denominated in US dollars. The Parent Company's foreign exchange risk is partly hedged by its purchases in dollars, and partly by the use of forward currency contracts and options(1). This risk is permanent, taking into account exchange rate fluctuations and volatility. This is a significant risk for the Group, since the measures put in place to limit this risk are not sufficient to make the net risk zero (periods not covered by hedges, possible financial impact of hedges already taken in the event of reversal of market assumptions).
(1) A sensitivity analysis of the hedge portfolio can be found in Note 24.3 "Management of market risks".
For the sale of our military aircraft, movements in the dollar exchange rate can affect our competitiveness, since we are compared to our competitors in this currency.
The Parent Company owns Embraer shares. Embraer is listed on the Brazilian market and is stated in the Group's financial statements on the basis of its market value at the balance sheet closing date, in Brazilian reals converted into euros. The value of the shares may therefore fluctuate according to the exchange rate between these two currencies.
In addition, the Group is exposed to a risk related to fluctuations in Embraer's share price. A sensitivity analysis can be found in Note 24.3.4 "Risks related to Embraer shares."
The Legal Affairs and Insurance Department implements the risk transfer policy of the Dassault Aviation Group defined by the Executive Management.
Coverage of all the risks generated by the aeronautical activities of Dassault Aviation and its subsidiaries (work-in-progress, changing aircraft, civil liability after delivery, maintenance and logistical support, etc.) constitutes the largest item of the insurance budget.
Coverage is obtained from a broad panel of insurers and reinsurers that specialize in the aviation industry and offer high solvency margins to ensure they are able to handle any long-term claims.
The Group's Sites, as well as its industrial facilities, are insured for fire and other risks.
The Legal Affairs and Insurance Department oversees a regular audit program of the Group's Sites. It disseminates the risk prevention and industrial facilities protection policy to reduce the frequency and intensity of accidental risks. To do this, it relies on the specialized engineers of the property damage insurer.


Other programs are purchased in order to reduce risks not related to aviation activity: general civil liability, environmental damage, the fleet of vehicles, construction sites including assembly and testing and the civil liability of corporate officers and directors.
The Legal Affairs and Insurance Department ensures that the Group's insurance coverage constantly adapts to changes in its structure and business, especially in the context of the Transformation Plan "Leading Our Future," recent acquisitions in aircraft maintenance and in support of its international developments.
Dassault Assurances Courtage and Agence Aéronautique d'Assurances are involved in the placement of risks. Dassault-Réassurance handles the subscription of reinsurance portions for our aviation and fire risks.

The purpose of the internal auditing procedures set up in our Company is to:
One of the main purposes of the internal auditing system is to anticipate and control the risks resulting from the Company's activity and risks of error or fraud, particularly with respect to finance and accounting. However, as with any control system, it cannot provide absolute assurance that these risks have been totally eliminated.
The Company's internal auditing is guided by the following reference documents:
Dassault Aviation also draws on the AMF reference framework of July 22, 2010.
The main internal auditing bodies in Dassault Aviation are the following:
The composition and the role of this Committee are detailed in Section 1.9 of the Report on Corporate Governance. Each Committee member is responsible for the internal auditing of his or her department.
The actions decided upon by the Committee are assigned to one or more of its members, and a manager is tasked with coordination. At each meeting, the Committee secretary monitors the progress of these actions through to their effective completion.
The IARD ensures that the risk management process relating to corporate programs, products and activities runs smoothly. It identifies Company risks and makes sure that Executive Management is alerted of them.
The QMS is coordinated by the Total Quality Management Department and implemented by the Quality Control Managers, the Health, Safety & Environment (HSE) managers of the facilities and the Quality Representatives of operational departments.


The system uses a structured document repository, comprised of process descriptions and procedures and instructions.
The Management System is monitored through a program of internal audits, quality assessments and Management reviews.
The Program Departments report to Executive Management on the completion of programs for all costs, deadlines and performance.
In particular, regular budget reviews allow for reporting to Executive Management and all economic performance actors.
The Ethics and Compliance Department, which reports to the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, is responsible for enforcing the fairness of practices. It handles procedures implemented under the "Sapin 2" law.
The Company maintains an effective presence on the Boards of Directors and management bodies of its subsidiaries.
Periodic directors' reports are prepared by each subsidiary for the Parent Company.
Attached to the Total Quality Management Department, the Internal Audit and Risk Department is tasked with assessing risk management and internal auditing processes.
The Internal Audit and Risk Director reports to Executive Management on the results of the audits and the recommendations implemented. The Internal Audit Director also presents the Internal Audit plan to Executive Management for approval prior to its implementation.
The Audit Committee meets with the Internal Audit and Risk Director and examines the Group's major risks, the audit plan and the findings of the audits.
The Company operates in a particular external auditing environment due to its French government contracts and aviation activity:
The Parent Company and its subsidiaries DFJ and DFS are EN 9100-, ISO 9001- and ISO 14001-certified. Audits conducted in 2021 by outside organizations confirmed the compliance of our management systems with the requirements of the standards.

The risk management organization detailed in Chapter 2 of this report is based on a risk mapping updated by each of the Company's major departments and primary subsidiaries of the Group for the activities that concern them.
Each of the risks identified in this mapping, whatever its nature, has been assessed according to its seriousness and its frequency of occurrence. The procedures for handling risks are also recorded in this mapping.
The risk management procedures are defined and applied by the departments of the Company.
In particular, Program risk control at Dassault Aviation is performed through regular risk reviews organized by the Program Departments with the Operational Departments.
Risks are monitored at the various stages in a product's life cycle for various reviews. The purpose of these reviews is to identify new risks and monitor and reduce existing risks.
The Total Quality Management Department, through the Internal Audit and Risk Department, notifies Executive Management of risks by transmitting the list of most critical risks identified.
Finally, the Risk Committee's mission, based on risk mapping and a campaign of interviews with all Departments, is to:
To this end, the Committee conducts interviews with senior directors of the Company who are responsible for updating the risk map.
The Committee also ensures that the risk management system is taken into account in its subsidiaries, notably by holding discussions with the officers of Dassault Falcon Jet, Dassault Falcon Service, Sogitec and will the functional managers of all other Group subsidiaries.
It is chaired by the Senior Executive Vice President, Total Quality, assisted by the Director of Internal Audit and Risks, secretary of the Committee, and reports to the Executive Management.
This function, described in the Quality Manual, is managed by the Finance Department for both the Parent Company and Group consolidation. This aforesaid function consists of:
The financial statements are prepared in accordance with:

the operating and control procedures described in the economic and financial data management procedure, supplemented by the special procedures for the preparation of company and half-yearly financial statements of the Parent Company and the Consolidated Group. These procedures and the IT applications used by the finance and accounting department are regularly reviewed by the Statutory Auditors in connection with their annual certification of the financial statements.
In 2021, the Finance Department centralized the accounting data and produced the financial statements for the Parent Company and the Group.
It distributed a schedule of the tasks and controls to be performed at each period-end to the relevant persons in the Parent Company and subsidiaries. This schedule indicated the start date for the Statutory Auditors' certification procedures at approximately four weeks prior to the Board meeting at which the financial statements are submitted for approval.
In parallel, the reports and financial statements are checked by a review committee, independent of the teams participating in the drafting of these documents.
The Internal Audit and Risks Department and the Total Quality Management Department continued to monitor the internal audit procedures for all parties involved by using the risk mapping that was updated during the year.
They performed the audits in order to verify the proper application of the internal auditing procedures.
For 2022, the Internal Audit Department and the Total Quality Management Department are tasked with continuing the audits that ensure oversight of internal controls and risk management, and the proper application of procedures.

Since the United Nations Global Compact was signed in 2003, Dassault Aviation has committed itself to an active Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) policy. This policy, which has been enhanced over time, demonstrates the Group's commitment to its employees, environment and suppliers.
Built on current CSR issues and backed by industry standards and rules, Dassault Aviation's CSR policy is built on five pillars.

With this approach, Dassault Aviation is putting the social, environmental, and societal aspects of its business first.
The commitments thus made at the Group level reflect the sustainable development challenges adopted by the UN in 2015. The actions taken in this respect mostly contribute to 8 of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).



Following a period of several years in which CSR issues became increasingly important for the company, a commitment was made in late 2021 to strengthen the organization with the appointment of a Group CSR Manager in charge of Dassault Aviation's and its subsidiaries' Corporate Social Responsibility. The operational implementation of this new organization will be the main focus in 2022.
Listening to external and internal stakeholders and meeting their expectations is of fundamental importance for Dassault Aviation.
When it comes to our customers, this is one of our main priorities, as evidenced by the results of the Falcon customer support surveys conducted by Aviation International News and Professional Pilot magazines over the last three years. It is also apparent at trade fairs and at the open days that are held regularly for customers.
Regular events are also held with our shareholders and suppliers. In addition, we are actively involved in industry bodies both in France (UIMM, GIFAS, AFEP, AFNOR, etc.) and internationally (ICAO, GAMA, EBAA, ASD, IAEG, IAQG, etc.).
We also maintain close ties with the academic community and with students in aeronautical disciplines, who are often invited to our facilities.
Listening to our internal stakeholders is equally important. It is facilitated by meetings of the Central Economic and Social Committee (CSEC), of the Economic and Social Committee (CSE) Health, Safety and Working Conditions Committee (CSSCT), commissions and thematic committees (economic, training, employment/gender equality surveys, disability, etc.), or during the various annual negotiations.
The special relationships we forge with our stakeholders enable us to identify their expectations and factor them into our products, services and CSR policy.

More than 97% of the Group's employees are on open-ended contracts.
The geographical distribution of the Group's headcount is as follows:



The Group's Companies invest in preparing the talent who will join us after they complete their studies.
To that end, the Group works in tandem with the academic community, focusing on two key areas: training and research.
In this context, the Group's companies:
We also contribute to the general skills development of future technicians, engineers and researchers by creating or participating in teaching and research chairs. This contribution takes the form of financial support, which we supplement with the participation of our experts in the development of educational and research projects for the benefit of the academic and scientific community.
The Indian government-approved Dassault Skill Academy was created in 2018 to develop new training courses in India for the aviation industry. It was designed to be a two-year training course equivalent to the French professional aviation diploma (Baccalauréat professionnel aéronautique). Since the start of the 2019/2020 school year, the academy has been based in a public high school in Nagpur (Maharashtra State). In parallel with the first intake, high school teachers and teacher trainers underwent training to enable the courses to be rolled out nationwide.
Within higher education, networks of excellence have forged links between Indian engineering colleges and partner schools in France. For example:
To enhance its employer brand image, the Group has bolstered its presence on social media and become more vocal about its recruitment needs, increasing the number of actions to be more visible at a national and local level.
According to the 2021 EPOKA survey, these initiatives have earned Dassault Aviation a spot as the third most popular company in the Industry sector (excluding the automotive and pharmaceutical sectors), according to students and young professionals who have graduated from France's prestigious grandes écoles. Dassault Aviation also came in sixth in the Universum ranking of the 130 best places to work according to engineering students. This cements the Group's position as one of the top 10 companies as voted for by students at France's leading engineering colleges over the last decade.

Despite the challenging environment in 2021, the Group continued recruiting by seeking the best possible match between costs, headcount and skills requirements.
As a result of this policy, 998 employees were recruited.

To facilitate the integration of their new hires, the Group's Companies have put in place programs to explain their business, set-up and operation.
Recruitment and onboarding initiatives are essential. They help prepare for the future and facilitate the intergenerational transfer of skills.
Employees leaving the Group

Within this, the Group has a resignation rate of around 2.7% of the workforce.
Individual development of each employee is an essential condition of collective success. With more than 70% of staff trained in 2021, the Group has demonstrated its commitment to maintaining and developing its employees' skills, despite the continuing pandemic.
Against the backdrop of the ongoing pandemic in 2021, the Group's companies alternated between distance learning and classroom teaching in a bid to maintain and enhance employees' skills. The initiatives took into account the operational needs of the Group's Companies, the development of the roles and technologies, and individual preferences.
Professional training represents 259,339 hours of training for the Dassault Aviation Group.
Dassault Falcon Jet also relies on a tuition assistance plan to enable its employees to join a higher education program that will develop their skills. This program, directly related to the position held by the employee, reflects his or her career development prospects. 313 employees have benefited from this scheme over the last ten years.
Dassault Aviation continued the transformation of its skills conservatory, which began in 2017. Alongside the design and implementation of technical modules, the conservatory offers vocational training courses (training courses for assemblers, process planners, etc.). The conservatory also offers training courses that create synergy between businesses that work together on platforms, such as "Industrialization: from Conception to Completion." These sessions supplement employees' initial training with the specific skills necessary to perpetuate Dassault Aviation's expertise. Launched 30 years ago, the conservatory marked the occasion in 2021 by applauding the commitment of employees who are highly invested in perpetuating, enhancing and passing down our technical heritage.


Strengthening its management is a priority for the Dassault Aviation Group, which guides the development of its managers throughout their career. The Dassault Institute has continued to develop and hold training courses for the Group's French subsidiaries. In 2021, 243 Group employees were trained.
In addition, with a view to improving management practices, Sogitec has trained more than 45% of its managers and employees in a supervisory role.
Moreover, around 10 managers from Dassault Falcon Jet, enrolled on the American Management Association (AMA) "Certified Professional in Management (CPM)" manager development program, have been awarded a certificate in management excellence.
Lastly, TAG Maintenance Services is pursuing its performance appraisal scheme to improve listening and dialog between employees and their managers.
The Group promotes diversity in the workplace and is highly committed to the principles of non-discrimination. Firmly believing that diversity is a major issue and a performance factor for the company, the Group restates its commitment to preventing discrimination and commits to promoting equal opportunity and treatment.
This commitment is reflected in compliance with national regulations and in the signing of company-level agreements in the following areas:
The Group pursues its policy of developing gender balance in the company by implementing actions aimed at improving gender diversity, particularly in the management, technical, industrial and aircraft maintenance professions.
The Group is facing the issue of fewer women enrolling in technical and industrial training courses. The development of scientific and technical careers among women is therefore an important issue.
Various actions are carried out in partnership with the non-profit organization Elles Bougent ("Girls on the Move") to generate interest among middle school and high school students.
The Group adopts a proactive policy, as a result of which women made up more than 23.4% of all recruits in 2021.
Women account for 18.3% of the Group's workforce, a slight increase from 2020.

The Group also pays particular attention to the training and development of women's careers, promoting them to positions of responsibility, particularly in management and senior management.

The Group is also mindful of gender equality in its compensation and promotion policies. Dassault Aviation and Dassault Falcon Service have a gender equality score of 87 out of 100 (published in March 2021 for the 2020 fiscal year). This is well above the regulatory threshold of 75.
The French Companies of the Group all have an agreement on the professional and wage equality of women and men. In 2021, Dassault Aviation put its agreement signed on December 22, 2020 into effect, prioritizing career paths for women to enable them to rise to positions of responsibility.
The Group continues its policy of recruitment and retention of persons with disabilities. The Group's French Companies all have an agreement on hiring and retaining people with disabilities.
Regular communication initiatives are carried out, particularly with the academic community, local organizations for the employment of disabled people and disability-friendly companies. The Group's Companies participate in specialized forums and organize awareness-raising actions with employees and recruiters.
Concrete measures are being taken to modify workstations and to facilitate and encourage formal recognition of the status of employees with disabilities and renewal of that recognition. The Group relies on cooperation between its HR teams, medical professionals from occupational health services, EHS staff and ergonomists to institute the necessary initiatives and arrangements to retain employees with disabilities. The parent company has earmarked an annual budget of EUR 400,000 for the period 2021-2023.
The Group is also committed to ensuring that employees with disabilities benefit from the same opportunities for pay increases and career advancement in accordance with the principle of non-discrimination.
In late 2021, the Dassault Aviation Group employed 510 disabled workers, compared to 492 in 2020.
Dassault Aviation and Dassault Falcon Service are implementing agreements signed in 2019 on social dialog to facilitate the functioning of union organizations and staff representative institutions. More specifically, those agreements provide a career monitoring mechanism for the careers of staff representatives to ensure equal treatment.
Furthermore, the French Companies of the Group give employee representative institutions many additional resources compared to those provided for by law.
The Dassault Aviation Group is committed to attracting talent and keeping its employees highly motivated by offering them stimulating projects along with an attractive compensation policy.
This compensation policy rewards and inspires loyalty among its employees, while adapting to the economic situation and the economic environment to maintain the Group's competitiveness in a highly competitive market.
The average annual salary of Group employees in 2021 was EUR 58,849.
In Dassault Aviation, minimum annual gross salary is of € 27,120 in 2022, being 1,4 times the French minimum wage (SMIC). The average annual gross salary for a blue collar in Dassault Aviation is of € 35,580 in 2021 being 1,9 time the French minimum wage.
In addition, the Group's French Companies are developing a very attractive employee profit-sharing and incentive policy. Profit-sharing opt-out agreements and particularly advantageous incentive agreements have been signed, enabling employees to have a share in the profits.
The average annual salary of the Group's French Companies, including profit-sharing and incentives, was


EUR 63,783. For Dassault Aviation, minimum wage is at € 31,129 , including the Profit-sharing policy paid in 2021 relative to 2020, or € 33,334 , including the Profit-sharing policy paid in average for the last 5 years.
These companies also promote employee savings by offering company savings plans with a wide choice of investments, as well as a group pension plan.
The Group offers all its employees medical cover.
The Group's French Companies paid EUR 27 million (i.e. more than 5% of the payroll) to the social and economic committees at their facilities, enabling employees to enjoy numerous social, sporting and cultural activities at very advantageous prices.
The Group has an employee relations policy which is built on trust, compromise, and mutual respect.
In Group entities with employee representative bodies, regular negotiations give rise to constructive social dialog based on the search for collective agreement.
In 2021, 17 agreements and amendments were signed. They covered in particular topics such as working hours, pay, quality of life at work, remote working, the "working time account", and permanent part-time work.
For Dassault Aviation, in the context of a strong inflation in late 2021, negotiation and implementation of the salary policy had consequences on the social climate in the sites.
Regular constructive discussions between management and labor have made it possible to tackle the pandemic by tailoring measures to the different national policies for combating and preventing Covid-19. Staff representatives are also supporting the Group in implementing health measures across all sites.
This social dialog within the Group helps to maintain a climate conducive to the proper functioning of the Companies. It is also expressed at joint committee meetings during which plans for the organization of the Group's Companies, questions of employment and gender equality, and issues around health, safety and working conditions are discussed. This labor agenda provides a framework for employee relations and allows staff representatives to stay up to date on the issues facing the Group.
In addition, some Group entities that do not have staff representatives have set up direct communication channels with senior management.
Contribution to SDGs

Developing a safety culture is necessary to maximize performance. In 2021, Dassault Aviation continued its actions to amplify this culture. This development involves the sustainability of practices and tools that promote proactive management of occupational safety and health and the training and awareness of prevention actors.

In this respect, Dassault Aviation has designed an EHS management framework built around four levels of maturity, in line with the ISO 45001 and ISO 14001 standards. Today, the parent company is close to reaching level 3 ("mature"), which was the target originally set.
Controlling the risk of workplace accidents and occupational diseases means reducing physical and chemical risks.
Actions to reduce chemical risk exposure are ongoing. In 2021, plans went ahead for new paint booths.
Safety initiatives for "working at height" and "load handling" risks are also underway.
Group-wide, absenteeism in 2021 was 97,186 days from all causes, compared with 154,941 in 2020, excluding maternity and parental leave. The decrease is due to the fact that the pandemic had a lower impact than in 2020.
The number of work-related accidents with lost time was 150 in 2021. The corresponding number of days lost was 7,516 days.
The Group frequency rate(1) (FR) rose from 6.24 to 7.67 in 2021.
(1) the frequency rate represents the number of accidents with lost time of more than one day that occurred over a 12 month period per million hours of work.
The severity rate(2) (SR) rose from 0.33 to 0.38. *

(2) The severity rate represents the number of days lost per 1,000 hours worked.
In 2021, 20 occupational illnesses were identified by the various competent authorities, compared with 15 in 2020. These were primarily musculoskeletal disorders.
To promote a culture of ergonomics and ensure that ergonomic considerations are factored into new projects and programs, the Group has held and led training courses with a view to expanding the network of ergonomics officers at Dassault Aviation facilities: 35 new ergonomics officers were trained in 2021, making a total of 76 ergonomics officers across all sites.


The conservatory has introduced a special "Ergonomics" training module to ensure that these considerations are factored into the industrialization phase. The vocational course for process planners and toolmakers has trained 34 process planners and toolmakers.
The company has expanded its network of trainers specializing in risk prevention during physical activities and in body posture and movement. It now has 15 trainers.
The workplace transformation continued in 2021, focusing on:
Ergonomic aspects were also taken into account with the introduction of remote working. Recommended improvements for working from home have been published in a guide distributed to employees working remotely.
At the same time, innovative studies are still under way to introduce collaborative robot technologies, exoskeleton (arms/hands/back) and automated postural stress assessment systems.
The pandemic has led to a renewed focus on psychosocial risks. In 2021, the parent company introduced a system for assessing collective psychosocial risks in the workplace in order to gauge the risk and take the necessary corrective measures.
The Group has long encouraged a work/life balance, particularly through schemes to help parents.
Some Group Companies provide a company crèche.
Since 2021, Dassault Aviation has been experimenting with a digital and physical corporate concierge scheme. The aim is to offer employees local services that are readily accessible and help them manage personal tasks.
Working hours also contribute to quality of life at work. Tailoring working hours to accommodate the personal needs of individual employees leads to a more flexible organization and improves shift management within the Group's French Companies.
Since the start of the pandemic, Group Companies have implemented a remote working system which goes far beyond normal remote working practices. In 2021, the Group's French Companies used that experience to sign company-level agreements reconciling individual and collective performance while maintaining the social link.
The Dassault Aviation Group has autonomous occupational health services or assistance programs at all of its sites.
Employees in high-risk positions or who are expatriates or on mission receive specific monitoring and specialized support.
Dassault Aviation has an agreement in place with the Psychological Support and Resources Institute (IAPR), which offers a listening and support system for employees who are victims of workplace stress and psychological trauma.

Prevention and awareness campaigns, local or Group-wide, are organized, periodically or occasionally, on a variety of themes:
The Covid-19 global pandemic continued in 2021. The Group has demonstrated agility and responsiveness both in the tertiary sector and in its industrial organization.
In response, several crisis teams have been maintained within the Group, prioritizing the health and safety of employees and their families. Special arrangements have been put in place to ensure that our operations continue in compliance with the government guidance specific to each country where the Group is located.
Our health protocols are updated regularly as the pandemic evolves.
The protocols describing the range of health measures include:
Independent health services follow up on employees who test positive for Covid-19 and are responsible for contact-tracing. Occupational health services also organized Covid-19 vaccination campaigns for employees.
The Company health protocol will be maintained and updated as and when required and for the duration of the pandemic.

The environment is the core focus of Dassault Aviation's CSR policy. The main aim is to reduce the environmental footprint of the Group's products and activities, while mitigating the risks of pollution and environmental damage. The policy takes the form of an environmental methodology ("Ecodémarche") consisting of projects and actions to improve environmental performance throughout the life cycle of our products.


Reducing our environmental footprint essentially means factoring EHS requirements into aircraft development programs, into contracts with suppliers and partners, into the search for new processes and materials, into plans for new infrastructure or production facilities, and into the operational support given to our customers.
Dassault Aviation has been committed to this proactive environmental approach for more than 15 years, relying to that end on the ISO 14001 management standard. The Group's research offices and production facilities are certified. This includes all Dassault Aviation sites, the Dassault Falcon Jet facility in Little Rock, and the Dassault Falcon Service locations in Le Bourget and Mérignac, which represents 85.9% of the Company's total headcount.
Over the past 40 years, technological progress with regard to engine efficiency, aerodynamics and weight saving has reduced fuel consumption, CO2 emissions and noise levels from our aircraft.
The Group is continuing on this path, both in the search for technological innovations and in the optimization of the aircraft in operation.
To support this strategy, Dassault Aviation has adopted the objectives set forth in 2000 by the Advisory Council for Aeronautics Research in Europe (ACARE), and participates in European studies that contribute to them, such as the CleanSky program.
In France, Dassault Aviation, as a member of the Civil Aviation Research Guidance Council (CORAC), is also involved in the studies conducted in that framework.
Dassault Aviation reaffirmed its commitment ahead of COP 26 by signing "The Sustainability of Aviation – Update" statement with six other major aviation players (Airbus, Boeing, GE Aviation, Pratt & Whitney, Rolls Royce and Safran), recognizing the shared goal of achieving net zero carbon emissions by 2050.
The environmental footprint is modeled using a life-cycle analysis (LCA) approach, in accordance with ISO 14040 and ISO 14044, for the Falcon 8X, Falcon 7X and Falcon 2000. The modeling identifies the environmental impact of each stage in the aircraft's life cycle, from the extraction of raw materials to its endof-life solution. Various indicators are used, including the depletion of natural resources, the depletion of the ozone layer, the potential for acidification, the eutrophication of water, and the potential for global warming.
These studies show that aircraft use accounts for more than 95% of greenhouse gas emissions over the entire life cycle (40-year operational lifespan). The life cycle analysis shows that the kerosene production phase contributes significantly to those emissions. In light of this analysis, Dassault Aviation has directed its efforts towards improving energy efficiency during the operational phase and promoting the use of sustainable aviation fuels (SAF).
However, other environmental aspects have not been overlooked, with action plans in place that cover the manufacturing phase in particular.
The aircraft sold by Dassault Aviation have a lifespan of more than 40 years, are repairable throughout their entire operation and offer considerable potential for end-of-life recycling owing to the significant proportion of reusable equipment, aluminum and other metals.
Dassault Aviation is involved in European and national initiatives (Clean Sky and Clean Aviation) and leads or participates in concept and development studies in conjunction with the entire aviation sector.

These studies relate to:
The Dassault Aviation Group is continuing to make a significant effort to increase the efficiency and reduce the environmental footprint of its design methods, production processes and maintenance services by harnessing the tools offered by digital technology:
Dassault Aviation relies on the discussions and demonstrations conducted as part of the Single European Sky ATM Research (SESAR) program to take full advantage of the technological gains across all aircraft operations and to minimize its footprint.
The integration of advanced technologies on board the Falcon already optimizes flight paths. This includes such features as the digitization of dialog between pilots and air controllers, automatic digital aircraft position communication, and the on-board advanced vision system that allows for low visibility approaches.
In addition, Dassault Aviation contributes to the development of mission preparation and management tools optimized to minimize consumption and therefore CO2 emissions.
An optimization guide (Falcon Service Advisory) is also available for all Falcon fleet operators in service. It identifies best practices to minimize fuel consumption of aircraft in service.
Falcon models are compatible with sustainable aviation fuels up to a currently certified rate of 50%. Dassault Aviation is working with the engine manufacturers of its aircraft currently in development to validate the feasibility of 100% SAF. The same goal is shared by the VOLCAN project, in which Dassault Aviation is involved in partnership with Airbus, ONERA, Safran and the French Ministry of Transport.


The overall reduction in CO2 emissions over the life cycle of SAF (production followed by use in flight) could come close to 80%, according to international benchmarks. During their combustion, SAF also release fewer pollutants into the atmosphere, such as sulfur, and could limit the production of condensation trails.
With supply chains taking shape, Dassault Aviation is committed to promoting the use of SAF for its own operations and to its customers, working closely with GAMA, NBAA and EBAA in particular. For example, a 30% SAF available at Le Bourget airport was used to fuel the Falcon 6X on its mission 0 as part of the program's development. This opened up the possibility of using SAF for flights to airshows, such as the Dubai Airshow in November 2021.
As part of its CSR policy, Dassault Aviation has set three-year targets for reducing its environmental footprint. The desired performance improvement targets energy consumption, water consumption, air emissions and waste recovery.
By the end of the 2018-2020 period, which saw the implementation of the transformation plan "Leading Our Future" and the Covid-19 crisis, the targets had been met.
New targets for the period 2021-2023 have been set following a performance review, assuming a gradual recovery of the aviation sector. Since 2020 was disrupted by the Covid-19 crisis and is not representative of the company's activities, 2019 was chosen as the baseline for the 2021-2023 three-year plan.
In 2021, resource consumption and waste generation were directly impacted by the ongoing pandemic. This impact is less pronounced than in 2020 due to the gradual resumption of activity.

*The subsidiaries TMS and ExecuJet have only been consolidated since 2020, so there is no reference data for 2019. **Installation in 2021, consolidated data in 2022.
The energy management system is coupled to the ISO 14001 certified environmental management system. A decision has been made not to seek ISO 50001 certification. However, the principles of this certification are known and are being rolled out in the Group's facilities.
Energy is mostly consumed within the framework of the industrial activity of the production sites (electricity and gas), and the aviation activity (kerosene).
Electricity consumption has fallen sharply as a result of the crisis and the energy-saving efforts made by all the Group's entities, including works to upgrade air-conditioning units, install LED lighting and optimize consumption management.
Gas consumption has not followed the same trend, since any beneficial effects from improvements were canceled out by frequently ventilating premises in accordance with the various health protocols.
Heating oil continues to be substituted in the Group's historical subsidiaries, leading to a 58% drop in consumption on a like-for-like basis compared with 2019.


As part of the "Leading Our Future" transformation plan, energy and environmental performance is systematically sought in the interests of economic balance. The new buildings designed prior to 2021 were part of an objective that goes beyond the requirements of the applicable French thermal regulations (RT 2012 minus 30%), while promoting the installation of photovoltaic panels on surfaces where they can be installed.
A network of energy experts has been set up at the parent company level to improve energy performance management and the rollout of improvements, particularly those resulting from the energy audits carried out at Dassault Aviation facilities in late 2019.
Kerosene consumption is on the rise, a direct result of the number of aircraft delivered in 2021 and of the Falcon 6X test program being ramped up.
Since Dassault Aviation's facilities are mostly located in regions without high levels of water stress (France, United Kingdom, Switzerland, United States, etc.), it has access to a sufficient quantity and quality of water. The Group's consumption in countries with high levels of water stress is limited and applies only to TMS Portugal and to ExecuJet in the United Arab Emirates.
Most water comes from public water supply networks, and to a lesser extent from groundwater pumping (8.2% in 2021). Most water is used for non-industrial purposes.
On a like-for-like basis, consumption in 2021 was almost 15% lower than in 2019. This was due to the decline in the number of employees on site (a corollary of the increase in remote working), and repairs to major leaks that occurred in 2019.
Aluminum, titanium, steel and composites are the materials most widely used for the manufacturing of our products. In terms of mass, aluminum (80% of which is obtained from recycled raw materials) is preponderant in aircraft structures.
The search for a reduction in raw material consumption is a permanent objective, which includes:
The pandemic and the use of remote working are having a discernible effect on paper consumption, which has dropped 30% relative to 2019.
For several years, actions aimed at limiting the use of hazardous chemicals have been carried out for CMR products (Carcinogens, Mutagens, Reprotoxics) subject to the REACH regulation (chromates, nonylphenols, siloxanes, terphenyls, etc.).
The modernization of the machinery fleet and the changes in processes favored by the "Leading Our Future" transformation plan contribute to the optimization of the quantities of chemicals used.
This optimization involves the qualification and deployment of alternative processes: replacement of chemical machining by mechanical machining, removal of chromates in surface treatment processes (Anodic Chromic Oxidation replaced by Anodic Sulfuric Oxidation, stripping without chrome VI) and in paint primers, and removal of octylphenols from sealants.
Since 2013, 395 hazardous products have been removed, replaced or are being substituted.

The production sites likely to generate industrial wastewater are equipped with detoxification stations or wastewater treatment installations of the "zero liquid discharge" type. For heavy metals, these installations have discharge rates lower than the value limits set by the regulations.
Out of all the sites involved in the monitoring of the Release of Hazardous Substances in Water (RSDE), only Mérignac is subject to continuous regulatory monitoring.
Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) and other atmospheric releases (excluding GHGs)
Production activities require the implementation of chemical products, including solvent-based paints and cleaning products that emit VOCs. These VOC emissions are monitored under solvent management and facility emission control plans.
The 28.8% fall in emissions compared with 2019 is mainly due to the decline in activity caused by the pandemic.
The Group has identified no specific challenges for this issue.
2021 saw a 30.1% decrease in the tonnage of total waste compared with 2019, mainly due to the decline in activity during the pandemic.
The development of direct manufacturing processes is also contributing to this decline.

According to the principles of the circular economy, sites identify their waste streams and seek the most suitable recovery and disposal solutions for their local environment, such as new recycling channels for furniture, sorting densification and landfill limitation.
The increasing integration of composite materials in aircraft provides significant weight saving, which means a reduction in CO2 emissions during the operational phase. At present, the waste generated by these new activities is relatively difficult to recycle. In keeping with its CSR policy, Dassault Aviation is keen to foster the development of value chains for these materials. To that end, it has been involved in an industry task force since 2021.
Tests are also under way with a manufacturer specializing in the recycling of composites.
Three main channels are used for the recycling and recovery of our other waste:

With a non-hazardous waste recovery rate of 96.3% at its sites in France, the Dassault Aviation Group is now looking to achieve a 100% recovery rate.
In order to prevent accidental pollution, the sites are equipped with oil separators, fitted dumping areas and containment basins for fire-extinguishing water.
Sites located over water tables have instituted monitoring of the water quality (piezometer) when their activities so require.
Each site has a collection area specifically designed for the storage of its waste to avoid accidental pollution.
Soil pollution diagnostics are carried out prior to civil engineering works or when buildings are sold. If historical pollution is identified, technical solutions are put in place to render the soil compatible with the intended use.
The risks of fire and explosion are assessed in each facility, and are covered by action plans to minimize them. The actions carried out as part of these plans include risk segregation, automatic fire detection and protection, and organizational measures.
For new buildings completed under the "Leading Our Future" transformation plan, environmental risks are considered from the early stages of design.
The Group's French industrial sites are subject to ICPE (Classified Installations for the Protection of Environment) legislation. They hold the required administrative authorizations and none are classified as SEVESO.
Tackling climate change is one of the priorities of the company's CSR policy. GHG emissions reduction targets are set over three-year periods.
To align those targets with the 2050 trajectory, in 2021 Dassault Aviation began working with an expert company in this field.
The aim is to draw up feasible climate scenarios and the associated action plans.

*The subsidiaries TMS and ExecuJet have only been consolidated since 2020, so there is no reference data for 2019.
The greenhouse gases taken into account are those covered by the Kyoto Protocol. Their emissions are expressed in metric tons of CO2 equivalent.
Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions are derived for scope 1 from direct emissions from the Group's air activity, combustion plants, the use of company vehicles and refrigerant leaks.

Scope 1 emissions increased slightly during the year by 1.5% on a like-for-like basis. This was due to the increase in gas consumption caused by frequent ventilation of premises in accordance with the various health protocols. The replacement of an oil-fired boiler and the reduced use of service and company vehicles minimized this increase.
By amending the parent company's acquisition policy in 2019, the fleet of company vehicles – historically composed of diesel vehicles – is continuing to shift toward hybrid, electric or gasoline engines. At the end of 2021, gasoline vehicles made up 65% of the fleet. Studies are under way to accelerate the fleet's replacement with low-emission vehicles ahead of the French Mobility Orientation Law (Loi sur l'Orientation des Mobilités) for Dassault Aviation's facilities in France.
38% of the service vehicle fleet were electric vehicles at the end of 2021, with the remainder due to be replaced by electric vehicles as soon as practicable.
Scope 2 emissions from electricity consumption fell sharply in 2021. The replacement of energy-intensive equipment (e.g. lighting, engines and compressors) has continued. This has been facilitated by the use of Energy Savings Certificates both in new buildings and in buildings undergoing refurbishment or maintenance. A major Technical Energy Management project was launched in 2021 with the aim of standardizing operation across all of the parent company's facilities by 2022. This enhanced management should lead to a significant decline in energy consumption and the associated GHG emissions.
In accordance with regulatory requirements, GHG assessments and energy audits were updated at eligible sites in France at the end of 2019.
Emissions associated with kerosene combustion are directly related to air operations. As in previous years, CO2 emissions reports required for the Emissions Trading Scheme were produced for the Group's aviation activity. An emissions monitoring plan was also filed with the UK aviation authority under the UK-ETS in 2021.
Dassault Aviation has initiated studies in 2021 to define the low-carbon trajectory and to quantify when possible the emissions of each of the sources of thescope 3 and define the associated objectives and milestones.
A quantification of this item using the methodology developed by the IAEG (International Aerospace Environmental Group) is undergone in the frame of the low carbon trajectory launched 2021.
Initiatives have also been launched to raise the awareness of the supply chain to climate and environmental issues, including through specific contractual clauses and a supplier approval process incorporating environmental aspects.
Dassault Aviation is a signatory to a commitment charter on relations between customers and suppliers in the aviation industry. As such, the company contributes to the work led by GIFAS (French Aerospace Industries Group) to rally the industry behind the shared goals of reducing the carbon footprint of aviation.
In 2021, discussions with freight carriers continued in order to improve the coverage and reliability of carbon emissions data in all sectors (road, air, maritime and rail).
Logistics platforms contribute to the optimization of transport flows and the associated CO2 emissions.

Still dominated by Covid-19 and the associated travel constraints, 2021 saw a review of working methods and the increase of remote working, collaborative tools and videoconferencing. These measures have helped reduce carbon emissions by nearly 12,000 metric tons of CO2 Group-wide compared with 2019.
The Parent Company's travel policy encourages the use of airlines with a carbon offsetting policy. In 2021, domestic flights accounted for 865 tons of CO2, 98.9% of which has been offset.
Under the terms of vehicle rental agreements negotiated in 2021 for business trips, electric vehicles must be provided wherever possible.
The reduction in fuel consumption and the resulting carbon footprint is a historic concern of Dassault Aviation. Falcon aircraft are recognized as being among the least-emitting aircraft on the market with an equivalent range. To go further, many actions are being taken both in the technical and operational fields and in alternative fuels (see Section 4.7.1).
Modeling studies of emissions from Falcon aircraft delivered in 2021 are ongoing, according to the "GHG Protocol" method, taking into account the ramp-up of the SAF. Indeed, given the significant potential for reducing the carbon emissions of these fuels, the progressive use of the different generations of SAF in the air activity of business aviation makes it possible to consider a significant reduction of the carbon footprint over the aircraft lifetime.
Due to its geographical location, the Group has low exposure to the physical consequences of climate change, whether for its industrial sites or its supply chain, which are mostly European and North American. The Group's only facility exposed to the risk of tornadoes, in Little Rock, Arkansas, has instituted a business continuity plan.
Actions to reduce the environmental footprint of the Group's products and activities help mitigate the transition risks linked to climate change described in Chapter XX "Risk factors", particularly market risks.
Under European environmental taxonomy regulations (Regulation (EU) 2020/852 and the Climate Delegated Act), and pending the aeronautical component of the taxonomy expected in 2022, the Dassault Aviation Group has reviewed its activities in all sectors defined in Annexes I and II of the Delegated Act relating to the climate component of the taxonomy.
After selecting the relevant macro-sectors (industry, energy, transport, construction, information/communication, scientific activities), all investments and current expenditures were evaluated to identify the most significant eligible activities for the Group (parent company and subsidiaries).
Only the environmental objective of mitigating climate change was selected in 2021, since the eligible activities identified are predominantly related to this.

| Area | Eligible activities | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Industry | Manufacture of other low carbon technologies | 3.6 | ||
| Energy | Electricity generation using solar photovoltaic technology | 4.1 | ||
| Transport | Transport by motorbikes, passenger cars and light commercial vehicles | 6.5 | ||
| Construction | Renovation of existing buildings | 7.2 | ||
| Installation, maintenance and repair of energy efficiency equipment | 7.3 | |||
| Installation, maintenance and repair of charging stations for electric vehicles in buildings (and parking spaces attached to buildings) |
7.4 | |||
| Installation, maintenance and repair of instruments and devices for measuring, regulation and controlling energy performance of buildings |
7.5 | |||
| Information and communication |
Data processing, hosting and related activities | 8.1 | ||
| Scientific activities |
Close to market research, development and innovation | 9.1 |
The financial ratios were defined in accordance with the definitions given in Annex I to the Delegated Act of July 6, 2021.
With regard to capital expenditure (CapEx):
With regard to operating expenditure (OpEx):
With regard to net sales:
Since the Delegated Act has not been published for aviation, no net sales were considered eligible.
For this first iteration of the taxonomy, simplified reporting was used, as permitted under the regulations.
Together the eligible activities represent 19% of CapEx and 9% of OpEx for the year.
The high percentage of CapEx 2021 is due to infrastructure works associated with the company's transformation plan.


Preservation of biodiversity is taken into account when challenges require it. Accordingly, whenever new buildings are constructed at the Group's facilities, action is taken to avoid or mitigate any impacts on biodiversity. Environmental offsetting measures have also been deployed, such as reforestation or restoration of wetlands and protected species habitats (birds, butterflies, amphibians, orchids).
The Dassault Aviation Group's activities have no impact in these areas.
Contribution to SDGs

The service life of aircraft (up to 40 years) means that life cycle constraints must be anticipated in the design phase. To achieve this, Dassault Aviation takes an innovative approach, supported by efficient digital industrial processes such as Product Lifecycle Management (PLM).
Due to the specific features of its sector of activity, and in accordance with its purchasing policy, Dassault Aviation is committed to sustainability processes in the choice of its partners.
The Group works closely with the French and international airworthiness authorities, both civil and military. Dassault Aviation has set up an organization to meet airworthiness requirements for civil (PARTS 21 and 145) and military (FRA 21-G and FRA 145) aircraft.
The Group is regularly audited by the authorities (the French Department of Civil Aviation, the French Defense Procurement Agency, etc.), which verify compliance with the regulations on design, production and testing, maintenance, and safety management.
In an ongoing effort to improve the safety of our civil and military aircraft, Dassault Aviation has introduced a Safety Management System (SMS) covering the entire aircraft life cycle. Managed by an Executive Safety Aviation Officer, the SMS is based on ICAO recommendations.
The SMS is being rolled out to all Group companies and is already in place for Dassault Aviation sites in France.
In the framework of its industrial and purchasing activities, the Dassault Aviation Group:

handles any procurement instabilities to comply with its commitments for aircraft production and throughout the aircraft service cycle.
These activities are based on an extensive supply chain with a strong national component, with a significant economic and social impact at the territorial level.
In the context of the economic crisis resulting from the health crisis, Dassault Aviation:
For several decades, the Dassault Aviation Group has worked with and supported a broad network of aerospace companies and contributes to the evolution of many SMEs. The very nature of Dassault Aviation's products and the related services entails a long-term relationship with its SME (Small and Medium-Sized Enterprise), intermediate-sized enterprise (ETI) or major group suppliers.
Active participation in professional bodies such as GIFAS (French Aerospace Industries Group) allows Dassault Aviation to support SMEs and intermediate-sized enterprises in the French aerospace supply chain in their plans to improve competitiveness.
Dassault Aviation is a signatory to the SME Defense Pact membership agreement with the French Ministry of the Armed Forces, thereby reaffirming its commitment to advancing the French SMEs and ETIs in the Defense sector, and to strengthening good business practices.
In the prospective countries, Dassault Aviation involves SMEs and intermediate-sized enterprises in cooperation and offsets.
Dassault Aviation's purchasing policy is designed to secure the Group's supply chain by improving the structural assessment of suppliers. This assessment is performed when referencing or monitoring a supplier to ensure that it is maintained in compliance with the guidelines. Structural risks are now taken into consideration in the Purchasing Policy.
The supplier approval procedure has been in place since 2007. It has been changed to include the provisions relating to the "Sapin 2" and "Duty of Vigilance" laws.
To allow the referencing of a supplier, a structural assessment consists of four components:
Supplier monitoring, which takes into account these same themes, is performed regularly through semi-annual campaigns, or when a significant event occurs.
For example, Dassault Aviation carried out a structural analysis of 100% of new suppliers approved in 2021.
The collaborative work with suppliers is based on the deployment of the "BoostAeroSpace/Air Supply" digital platform, which is the aviation industry standard. Dassault Aviation is reinforcing this approach with the commitments set out in the recovery plan and the Supplier Charter.


For improved supply chain management, the Purchasing Department is split into two sections: Strategic Purchasing and Operational Purchasing.
The supply chain committee, on which the company's senior executives sit (Executive Vice-Presidents for Purchasing, Total Quality and Industrial Operations), defines the strategy in this area.
In 2021, the order commitments of the Dassault Aviation Group were in the region of EUR 3 billion.
France accounts for almost 70% of purchases.
The Dassault Aviation Group has a significant French and international territorial network:
The Falcon maintenance subsidiaries also have several international technical divisions which are not listed because their size does not warrant it.
All these entities rely on a large number of suppliers who contribute to the local economy.
Dassault Aviation is a certified Approved Economic Operator.
The Group actively participates in local bodies, competitiveness clusters and regional professional bodies:
For the record, Dassault Aviation is implementing a memorandum of understanding for the industrialization of additive manufacturing applied to aeronautics (memorandum signed on November 5, 2018 with the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region in France). The Aéroprint project puts a premium on excellence. All public and private stakeholders in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes are sharing their expertise and know-how to create, with the support of the region, a benchmark additive manufacturing line.

Through its sponsorship agreements and charitable actions, the Dassault Aviation Group supported several non-profit organizations in 2021, including Course du Cœur (organ donation), Rêves de Gosses (flying experiences for children with disabilities), Aviation sans Frontières, the Fondation Foch, the Association Solidarité Défense, the Fondation Armée de l'Air et de l'Espace, the Fondation Œuvres Sociales de l'Air, the Musée de l'Air et de l'Espace, and the Musée de la Marine
Through its Code of Ethics and adherence to the UN Global Compact in 2003, Dassault Aviation affirmed its commitment in this area at a very early stage.
A system for assessing the risks at Group level (see section 3.3 Risk management procedures) identifies the main company risks and manages their potential consequences for the company and its stakeholders.
In parallel with this system, a Group-wide vigilance plan was drawn up in 2017 to manage the risks of serious breaches in the areas of the environment, occupational health and safety, human rights, and fundamental freedoms. The plan covers all suppliers with whom the Group has an established business relationship.
Through its organization and internal processes (Human Resources, EHS, Ethics, etc.), Dassault Aviation takes into account the risks generated by its activities and services in the fields of workplace health and safety, the environment, human rights and fundamental freedoms.
In this context, the risks of serious harm directly related to the Group's activities are addressed by the Company Risk Committee.
An evaluation and monitoring mechanism for production sub-contractors, which was extended to Europe and India in 2019 and covers environmental and occupational health and safety risks, is also in place. In this framework, 192 production sub-contractors were evaluated, enabling those sub-contractors at risk to be identified, with the management of chemicals being an area of particular concern. Of those, 32 have undergone a surveillance audit with information sessions since 2015.
In relation to its subsidiaries and in view of its extensive international supply chain, the Group is implementing a vigilance plan to assess and monitor companies potentially at risk of a serious breach of human rights, fundamental freedoms, health and safety, and environmental protections.
These measures comply with Law 2017-399 of March 27, 2017 on the Duty of Care.
This vigilance plan is based on the Group's organization.
The main components of the vigilance plan are:
In 2021, Dassault Aviation updated this questionnaire in keeping with the latest versions published by IAEG for the Environment section and GIFAS for the Occupational Health and Safety section. This now includes a topic on chemicals management.


The vigilance plan has been implemented within the main subsidiaries: Dassault Falcon Service, SOGITEC and Dassault Falcon Jet.
The subsidiaries of the network of service centers were also evaluated on this basis.
The aim of Dassault Aviation is to assess all suppliers that are pending approval, newly accredited, or the subject of a follow-up action, in accordance with its duty of care. To that end, authorized suppliers of Dassault Reliance Aerospace Limited are integrated into the Dassault Aviation process since 2018.

Since the scheme was introduced in 2018, the Group has not detected any supplier with an immediate significant risk. Nevertheless, of these assessments, a few suppliers had weaknesses in one of the areas of assessment. They were placed under surveillance and have been or will be given a special audit.
The Total Quality Management Department coordinates the vigilance plan and ensures the correct operation and effectiveness of the process in place. In 2021, an audit was conducted by the Internal Audit and Risks Department of Dassault Aviation on the company's compliance with Law 2017-399 of March 27, 2017 governing the Duty of Care.
Dassault Aviation does not source these minerals directly. However, the company remains vigilant about the sources of supply used by its equipment suppliers, which may be subject to regulations on the sourcing of minerals from conflict zones.
In order to share information with its customers, Dassault Aviation has set up an organization to collect declarations from its supply chain. It has also included this topic in the latest version of its supplier evaluation questionnaire in an effort to compile information on the provenance of these minerals.

The Group addresses the risks related to respect for human rights and is committed to respecting those rights through its Code of Ethics, its internal organization and its vigilance plan, which details the measures put in place to prevent and mitigate the risks around human rights in compliance with international conventions.
The Dassault Aviation Group, whose main facilities are located in France and the United States, is committed to the respect of all national and international laws and regulations regarding human rights, especially as regards occupational health and safety of employees and non-discrimination in the workplace. It acts in conformity with the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and the provisions of the OECD and the International Labour Organization relating to Human Rights.
Dassault Aviation joined the UN Global Compact in 2003 and adopted the 10 principles, including the principle relating to Human Rights.
The Dassault Aviation Group has a Group Code of Ethics that reflects these commitments. This Charter is available on the Dassault Aviation website and on the Dassault Aviation Intranet; it is always distributed to new hires.
The Code also pays particular attention to respect for human rights and fundamental labor rights and to the proper application of essential principles:
Our General Purchasing Conditions require our suppliers and service providers to comply with our Code of Ethics when they execute their orders.
Under our purchasing and supply chain security policy, the evaluation procedure for suppliers and subcontractors in place since 2007 now includes criteria for evaluating respect for human rights. More specifically, they are evaluated on the basis of a completed questionnaire, the answers to which will allow the Group to decide whether to embark on a business relationship with them.
Environmental risks are also taken into account to respect the right to a healthy environment to live in dignity and welfare, in accordance with the 1992 Rio Declaration. In this context, Dassault Aviation has adopted a series of measures to reduce its carbon and environmental footprint (see section 4.7).
Finally, the Ethics and Compliance Department, an independent body under the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, is required to intervene in the whistleblowing procedure for all crimes and offenses, and for any reporting of violations of international law and conventions, including those relating to human rights.
The Group addresses the risks of corruption and takes appropriate measures to prevent and detect, in France and abroad, acts of corruption or influence peddling in accordance with Law 2016-1691 of December 9, 2016 on transparency, the fight against corruption and modernization of the economy.
Through its Code of Ethics, the Dassault Aviation Group asserts the values that serve to unite the actions of all its employees. This charter also sets out a code of conduct that the Group applies with its customers, partners, suppliers and sub-contractors.
Observing a strict code of ethics, the Group commits to acting in accordance with the Convention of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), the United Nations Convention and national laws.


In addition, Dassault Aviation is a signatory to numerous international commitments on the prevention of corruption (Global Compact, Common Industry Standards, Global Principles). It is also a member of several associations and forums on ethical business conduct and corporate responsibility at the national, European and international levels (see website www.dassault-aviation.com, Ethics section). Dassault Aviation is a member of the IFBEC (International Forum on Business Ethical Conduct) and adheres to the standards of the ASD (AeroSpace and Defence Industries Association of Europe) with a view to maintaining its anti-corruption system at the highest level.
For many years, the Dassault Aviation Group has implemented strict internal procedures to prevent corruption and ensure the integrity, business ethics and reputation of the Group in its industrial and commercial relations.
Pursuant to the Sapin 2 Law of December 9, 2016 concerning the fight against corruption and the modernization of economic life, the Dassault Aviation Group supplemented and strengthened its process to prevent and detect corruption and influence peddling at the level of both the Parent Company and its subsidiaries under the leadership of the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer who promotes a zero-tolerance policy.
The Ethics and Compliance Department is tasked with implementing, updating, monitoring and auditing procedures related to the fight against corruption and influence peddling. As a result, risk maps on the fight against corruption and influence peddling have been developed and deployed within the Group in consultation with the various operational units and are regularly updated. These risk maps are designed to identify, analyze and prioritize the risks of the Group's exposure to corruption and influence peddling, taking into account internal processes, risks factors, the nature of the civil and military activities, and the geographical areas in which the company operates. These maps serve as the basis for the Group's compliance policy, which led the Dassault Aviation Group to strengthen existing anti-corruption procedures and implement new measures in its various activities.
An Anti-Corruption Code specifically dedicated to the prevention of and fight against corruption is in place in the Dassault Aviation Group alongside the Code of Ethics. This Code defines and illustrates the different types of employee behavior to be proscribed as likely to constitute acts of bribery or influence peddling. It is integrated into the internal rules of Dassault Aviation's various sites. Any violation is therefore punishable. The Anti-Corruption Code is supplemented by an Anti-Corruption Guide consisting of practical examples and scenarios.
An Internal Whistleblowing Procedure that allows employees and external contractors to report a crime or offense, violations of international commitments, laws or regulations, or even the Anti-Corruption Code, is also in place. The Ethics and Compliance Department is responsible for receiving and processing internal whistleblowing reports. For this purpose, a dedicated email address with an encryption system guaranteeing confidentiality is available to all employees. In fiscal year 2021, no acts of corruption or influence peddling were brought to the attention of the Ethics and Compliance Department.
Since 2018, the Ethics and Compliance Department has organized specific training sessions for the managers and personnel most exposed to risks of corruption and influence peddling. The purpose of this training is to make staff aware of the potential risks and the vigilance and behavior required in such situations. They are provided in person by a specialized law firm. In 2021, 198 exposed staff were trained, compared with 258 in 2020. The content of each session is set in consultation with the Ethics and Compliance Department, the relevant Management Department and the law firm. Its purpose is to provide a customized corpus for the most exposed employees. These sessions must allow the fundamental principles of the Sapin 2 Law to be acquired based on concrete situations. In addition to training, the Ethics and Compliance Department organizes awareness sessions for less exposed staff. These awareness sessions enable it to reach out to more employees on anti-corruption issues. Since 2018, 868 employees exposed to corruption risks have been trained in the fundamental principles of the Sapin 2 Law and combating corruption.
The procedures for evaluating the situation of customers, suppliers, sub-contractors and consultants in the light of the risk map have been strengthened. Before the Dassault Aviation Group agrees to do business with them, special committees are tasked with going through the various stages to ensure that they comply with its business ethics.

Special internal and external accounting control procedures intended to ensure that the books, ledgers and accounts do not mask acts of corruption or influence peddling are deployed within the Finance Department, thus reinforcing existing procedures.
Throughout fiscal year 2021, the Ethics and Compliance Department conducted follow-up and audit missions as part of the evaluation procedure for tier 1 suppliers and sub-contractors, civil aircraft customers and consultants. It also handled accounting procedures in association with the Financial Department. These followup missions confirmed that evaluation procedures covering the Sapin 2 Law had been put in place and were working.
The compliance program deployed by Dassault Aviation and its subsidiaries, including Dassault Falcon Service, Dassault Falcon Jet, Sogitec, Tag Maintenance Services and ExecuJet, demonstrates our commitment to effectively combating corruption and influence peddling.
A page dedicated to the Ethics and Compliance Department is available on the parent company intranet site. This page outlines the company's policy on business ethics, provides details of contacts within the Ethics and Compliance Department, and gives a list of reference documents, including the Anti-Corruption Code, the Anti-Corruption Guide and the Internal Whistleblowing Procedure.
A page dedicated to ethics and compliance is also accessible on the Group's website.
The Dassault Aviation Group complies with the tax regulations in force and, as such, pays taxes and social security contributions in the countries in which its industrial operations are based.
Contribution to SDGs

The main Group entities have a regulatory oversight system that makes it possible to identify or anticipate the requirements applicable to their activities and carry out compliance actions when it is necessary.
The year 2021 saw the publication of several major regulatory measures related to climate change:
Compliance with regulatory requirements contributes significantly to the reduction of the risks of accidents at work and occupational illness and to the control of risks of environmental accidents and exposure of the area surrounding the sites.
To supplement the regulatory oversight systems put in place, Dassault Aviation participates in activities, studies and work carried out by aerospace organizations. This enables the Group to anticipate the regulations applicable to its activities.

The activities of Dassault Aviation (Parent Company), particularly in the area of programs development, Research & Development, and production, have been presented to you within the framework of the Group's activities.
Parent Company order intake in 2021 was EUR 11,074 million, compared with EUR 2,905 million in 2020. Export order intake represented 73%.
Changes were as follows, in millions of euros:
| 2021 | 2020 | 2019 | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Defense | 8,955 | 1,536 | 3,249 | |
| Export | 6,109 | 278 | 676 | |
| France | 2,846 | 1,258 | 2,573 | |
| Falcon | 2,119 | 1,369 | 1,790 | |
| Total | 11,074 | 2,905 | 5,039 | |
| % Export | 73% | 33% | 43% |
The order intake is composed entirely of firm orders.
In 2021, Defense order intake totaled EUR 8,955 million, compared with EUR 1,536 million in 2020.
The Defense Export share was EUR 6,109 million in 2021, versus EUR 278 million in 2020. We recorded orders from from Egypt for 30 Rafale – followed by an order for an additional aircraft to complete the original order from 2015, from Greece for 6 new and 12 pre-owned Rafale (which we bought back from the French Air and Space Force), and a support contract for Croatia following its acquisition of 12 pre-owned Rafale directly from the French government.
The Defense France portion amounted to EUR 2,846 million in 2021, compared with EUR 1,258 million in 2020. It mainly includes the order for 12 Rafale, the 14-year "Balzac" support contract for the Mirage 2000 (excluding engines), and the award of productivity contract for tranche 5 of the Rafale. In 2020, it was essentially the 10-year "Ocean" integrated support contract (excluding engines) for the ATL2 with the French Naval Air Force that was recorded.
In 2021, 49 Falcon orders were recorded, compared with 15 in 2020. Order intake totaled EUR 2,119 million, versus EUR 1,369 million in 2020. The growth in orders is being driven by the recovery of the business jet market.
In 2020, the main order was for 7 Falcon 2000LXS "Albatros" maritime surveillance and response aircraft for France, plus the associated support.

Net sales in 2021 totaled EUR 6,358 million, versus EUR 4,817 million in 2020. Changes were as follows, in millions of euros:
| 2021 | 2020 | 2019 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Defense | 5,042 | 3,146 | 5,076 |
| Export | 4,369 | 2,638 | 4,250 |
| France | 673 | 508 | 826 |
| Falcon | 1,316 | 1,671 | 1,900 |
| Total | 6,358 | 4,817 | 6,976 |
| % Export | 88% | 88% | 88% |
In 2021, 25 Rafale Export were delivered, versus 13 Rafale Export in 2020.
Defense net sales in 2021 were EUR 5,042 million versus EUR 3,146 million in 2020.
The Defense Export share was EUR 4,369 million versus EUR 2,638 million in 2020. The strong growth is largely due to the delivery of 25 new Rafale Export with the associated support, whereas 13 Rafale Export were delivered in 2020. In addition, 2021 net sales include the first 6 pre-owned Rafale delivered to Greece, out of the 12 ordered.
The Defense France share was EUR 673 million versus EUR 508 million in 2020. As in 2020, Defense France net sales in 2021 do not include the delivery of the Rafale in accordance with France's Military Procurement Law. However, they do take into account maintenance services (for the Rafale under the Ravel contract and the ATL2 under the Ocean contract), as well as support for other aircraft in service.
29 Falcon were delivered in 2021, compared with 34 in 2020.
Falcon net sales in 2021 totaled EUR 1,316 million, versus EUR 1,671 million in 2020. The decrease is mainly due to the number of Falcon delivered (29 vs. 34).
The backlog of the Parent Company as of December 31, 2021 was EUR 19,482 million, compared with EUR 14,743 million at December 31, 2020.

The backlog as of December 31, 2021 consists of the following:
Net income for 2021 was EUR 364 million, compared to EUR 176 million in 2020.
In 2022, employees will receive EUR 108 million on 2021 profit-sharing and incentive plans, including:
These figures account for 20% of salaries in 2021. The application of the legal mandatory profit-sharing formula would have resulted in a payment for 2021 of EUR 26 million.
If you approve the accounts for fiscal year 2021, we propose that you allocate the net earnings for the year of EUR 364,323,130.74, plus retained earnings from previous fiscal years, i.e., EUR 3,025,487,340.20, less the dividends applied to shares other than treasury shares(*), to the retained earnings balance.
(*) The amount of dividends which, in accordance with the provisions of the fourth paragraph of Article L. 225- 210 of the French Commercial Code, may not be paid to the treasury shares held by the Company, will be reallocated to the retained earnings account.
The Dassault Aviation five-year summary is shown in Note 32 to the annual financial statements.
Our Company opted for the tax consolidation scheme in 1999. Since January 1, 2012, the Group's tax consolidation scope includes Dassault Aviation, Dassault Aéro Service and Dassault Aviation Participations. A tax integration agreement, tacitly renewable for five-year periods, was signed with these companies.
The risks and uncertainties to which the Company is exposed are the same as those outlined regarding the Group in Section 2 "Risk factors" above, since the Parent Company plays a predominant role within the scope of consolidation.

The Company has not issued any securities representative of its current capital.
The Company did not create any stock options in 2021.
The General Meeting of May 11, 2021 authorized the Board of Directors to allocate, in one or more stages, existing performance shares of the Company (to the benefit of Company employees or certain employee categories it may determine, and to the benefit of eligible corporate officers of the Company).
This authorization is valid for a period of 38 months from the Annual General Meeting and concerns a maximum of 278,000 shares representing 0.33% of the capital as of May 11, 2021. It states that the Board of Directors shall determine the identity of the beneficiaries of such allocations and, as required, the conditions and the criteria for allocating the shares, as well as the vesting and lock-in period of those shares.
Pursuant to this authorization (see Table 9 of the Report on Corporate Governance), on March 4, 2021 the Board of Directors decided to award 15,000 performance shares(1) to the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and 12,000 performance shares(1) to the Chief Operating Officer. (1) proforma, following the 10-for-1 stock split
Said shares will become vested (between 0% and 112%) provided the following performance criteria are met:
In addition, the same Board Meeting defined the following other conditions:

The General Meeting has not agreed to delegate any authority or powers to the Board of Directors regarding capital increases.
Since the General Meeting of May 20, 2015, there has been a statutory obligation to provide information on the crossing of ownership thresholds for any fraction equal to or greater than 1% of the capital and voting rights of the Company, and any multiple of that percentage.
The Company's bylaws do not include any restrictions on the exercise of voting rights or on the transfer of shares.
No shareholder has special control rights. In particular, there is no shareholding system offering employees specific control.
The securities transactions executed in 2021 by corporate officers consisted of the acquisition of performance shares on March 04, 2021 (see Report on Corporate Governance).
No other acquisition or sale of Dassault Aviation shares was executed by corporate officers. Such transactions, when they occur, must be reported to the AMF and the Company, pursuant to the provisions of Article L. 621-18-2 of the French Monetary and Financial Code and Articles 223-22-A et seq. of the AMF General Regulation.
There is no shareholders' agreement between Groupe Industriel Marcel Dassault (GIMD) and Airbus Group SE. However, the following two agreements are in place:
a) Agreement between the French Government, Airbus SE (previously Airbus Group N.V.) and Airbus SAS:
Pursuant to Article L. 233-11 of the French Commercial Code, the Company has been informed by the French Commissioner of State Holdings that on June 21, 2013, the French government signed a shareholders' agreement with Airbus SE and Airbus SAS that established concerted action with respect to Dassault Aviation. This agreement provides as follows:
Airbus SE, which also signed the agreement, is bound by these commitments.
b) Agreement between the French Government and GIMD:
In application of Article L. 233-11 of the French Commercial Code, the Company was informed by GIMD that, on November 28, 2014, the French Government signed an agreement with GIMD, which would enter into force on December 2, 2014. The purpose of this agreement is to confer on the French Government preemptive rights in case of transfer of Dassault Aviation shares by GIMD that would drop below the 40% threshold in Dassault Aviation capital, and in case of any subsequent shares transfers below this threshold.
This agreement does not constitute a concerted action between the French government and GIMD, each remaining at total liberty to manage its shareholding and exercise its voting rights.
These two agreements have no impact on the Company's governance.
GIMD holds the majority of the capital and voting rights in Dassault Aviation.
To allow Dassault Aviation to trade its own shares on the market or off-market, the Annual General Meeting of May 11, 2021 authorized a new share buyback program, identical to the previous programs approved on September 24, 2014, January 28, 2015, May 19, 2016, May 18, 2017, May 24, 2018, May 16, 2019 and May 12, 2020.


This new authorization, valid for a period of 18 months as of May 11, 2021 (until November 10, 2022 inclusive), terminates, on the date it was implemented by the Board of Directors on July 22, 2021, the share buyback program previously authorized by the Annual General Meeting on May 12, 2020, for the unused portion of that program.
This share buyback program is in compliance with the provisions of Articles L. 22-10-62 et seq. of the French Commercial Code and European Regulation 596/2014 of April 16, 2014.
This share buyback authorization may be used by the Board of Directors for the following objectives:
The shares may, within the limits imposed by the regulations, be acquired, sold, traded or transferred by any means, on whatever market (regulated or not), on a multilateral trading facility (MTF), via a systematic internalizer or over the counter including through buyback of blocks of shares or otherwise, at times that the Board of Directors or the person acting in a sub-delegated capacity decides, in accordance with the provisions provided for by law.
These means include the use of available cash as well as recourse to any derivative financial instruments, including the use of options or warrants, and without limitations.
The authorization given by the Annual General Meeting to the Board of Directors entitles Dassault Aviation to buy its own shares, up to a limit of 10% of its capital, for a unit price capped at EUR 140(1) exclusive of acquisition costs, subject to adjustments linked to corporate actions, particularly through the incorporation of reserves and allocation of performance shares and/or stock split or reverse stock split. (1) proforma, following the 10-for-1 stock split
The maximum amount to be used to buy back the Company's shares is EUR 1,168,818,000; this condition is combined with the condition for a 10% cap on the Company's share capital.
The General Meeting conferred all powers to the Board of Directors, with an option to subdelegate in the cases authorized by the law, to place any stock market or off-market orders, sign any agreements, draw up any documents including information documents, set the terms for the Company's market or off-market dealings, as well as the terms and conditions for acquisition and disposal of shares, to make any declarations including to the French Financial Markets Authority (the "AMF"), fulfill any formalities and, in general, do whatever is necessary to complete these transactions.
On July 22, 2021, the Board of Directors, meeting after the General Meeting, implemented this new share buyback program and sub-delegated the aforementioned powers to the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.
The General Meeting also conferred all powers to the Board of Directors if the law or the French Financial Markets Authority (the "AMF") were to extend or add to the objectives authorized for the share buyback program, in order to bring to public attention, within applicable legal and regulatory terms and conditions, any amendments with regard to the program's objectives.
This program was not used in 2021.

As of December 31, 2021, the Company still held 310,130 treasury shares, allocated for distribution of performance shares and the establishment of a possible liquidity contract to stimulate the market or ensure the liquidity of the stock through an investment services provider.
In order to allow the Company to act at any time with regard to its own shares, on March 3, 2022, the Board of Directors proposed to the General Meeting of May 18, 2022, that a new share buyback program be launched with a maximum price per share fixed at € 170, other conditions remaining unchanged (12th resolution).
Pursuant to the provisions of Articles L. 225-211 and R. 225-160 of the French Commercial Code, the Company maintains registers of the purchase and sale of shares acquired and sold in the context of its share buyback program.
On May 11, 2021, the General Meeting authorized the Board of Directors, on the same terms as the authorization of May 16, 2019 and May 12, 2020, to:
To this end, the General Meeting has granted all powers to the Board of Directors to set the terms and conditions for any capital reductions consecutive to any cancellation operations decided upon.
This authorization was given for a period that expires at the end of the Annual General Meeting called to approve the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021.
There was no cancellation of shares in 2021.
In order to allow the Company to reduce its share capital at any time, the Board of Directors, at its meeting of March 3, 2022, recommended to the Annual General Meeting of May 18, 2022 that it authorize the Board to reduce the Company's share capital by the cancellation of shares purchased or to be purchased under a share buyback program (13th resolution).
The Company did not enter into any major agreement that would be amended or automatically terminated in the event of a change in control of the Company.
However, in such a case, the National Defense contracts entered into with the French government would be reexamined by the French Ministry of Defense, which could require that all or some of these contracts be transferred to another French company for reasons of national interest.
There is no agreement offering compensation for:

The resolutions submitted to your vote concern the following points:
First of all, you are asked to approve the annual financial statements of the Parent Company (resolution No. 1), which show a net profit of EUR 364,323,130.74, and the consolidated financial statements, which show a consolidated net profit of EUR 605,392 thousand for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 (resolution No. 2).
Those financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on March 3, 2022 after prior examination by the Audit Committee. They were the subject of unqualified opinions from the Statutory Auditors, which can be found in the 2021 Annual Report.
Then, you are asked to allocate the net income for the fiscal year, plus the retained earnings from prior years, which constitutes a distributable total of EUR 3,389,810,470.94, to the distribution of a dividend for fiscal year 2021 in the amount of EUR 2.49 per share, with the remaining balance to retained earnings (resolution No. 3).
The dividend would be paid on May 25, 2022.
In accordance with Article L. 22-10-9 I, L. 22-10-34 I and L. 22-10-34 II of the French Commercial Code, you are asked to approve the elements of compensation of all directors, for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, mentioned in Article L. 22-10-9 I of the French Commercial Code (resolution No. 4), except for the aforementioned elements concerning the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Éric Trappier, and the Chief Operating Officer, Mr. Loïk Segalen (resolutions No. 5 and 6), for the financial year ended December 31, 2021.
These items are presented in paragraph 2.1 of the Report on Corporate Governance.
Pursuant to Article L. 22-10-8 II of the French Commercial Code, the Board of Directors submits for the approval of the Annual General Meeting the 2022 compensation policy for directors (resolution No. 7), for the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer (resolution No. 8), and for the Chief Operating Officer (resolution No. 9).
These elements were agreed by the Board of Directors on March 3, 2022 and are presented in paragraph 2.2 of the Report on Corporate Governance.
Since the terms of office of Marie-Hélène Habert and Henri Proglio expire at the end of the Annual General Meeting, it is proposed that they be re-elected for four years (resolutions No. 10 and 11).
Companies whose shares are admitted to trading on a regulated market are allowed to purchase their own shares if they are authorized by the General Meeting of Shareholders.
Under Article L. 22-10-62 et seq. of the French Commercial Code and the provisions of European Regulation 596/2014 of April 16, 2014, we ask you to reauthorize the Board of Directors to implement a share buyback program for a period of 18 months.
The share buyback program would enable the Company:
$$\rightsquigarrow \rightsquigarrow \rightsquigarrow$$

The Board could proceed with the buyback of Dassault Aviation shares within the statutory limit of 10% of the Dassault Aviation share capital.
The maximum buyback price would be EUR 170 per share, i.e., a maximum investment of EUR 1,419,279,510.
This authorization would take effect at the next meeting of the Board of Directors which would decide whether to implement the new share buyback program, on which date the under-used portion of the share buyback program previously authorized by the Annual General Meeting of May 11, 2021 (resolution No. 12) would be terminated.
Authorization to be given to the Board of Directors to reduce the Company's share capital by cancellation of shares purchased or to be purchased under the scope of a share buyback program
Pursuant to the provisions of Article L. 22-10-62 of the French Commercial Code, the Annual General Meeting is asked to authorize the Board of Directors, with the option of sub-delegation, to:
This new authorization would be granted for a period that expires at the end of the Annual General Meeting called to approve the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022.
As of May 18, 2022, it would render the similar authorization granted by the Combined General Meeting of May 11, 2021 ineffective for the under-used portion (resolution No. 13).
It is proposed that you amend the first paragraph of Article 15 of the Company's Articles of Association to take into account the consequences of the 10-for-1 stock split of Dassault Aviation shares authorized by the Annual General Meeting of May 11, 2021 (resolution No. 14).

Last year we mourned the death of Olivier Dassault who, like all members of his family, strongly supported the Group's development throughout his whole life.
The board of directors, chaired by of Éric Trappier, validated the 2021 statement of accounts in the context of a new crisis related to the war between Russia and Ukraine.
The Covid-19 crisis continued in 2021. The Group adapted during the year and regularly updated its prevention, employee protection and remote working measures in response to the guidance issued by the authorities. Global economic activity saw a strong rebound in 2021, particularly in the industry. However, this rapid recovery has caused disruption to the supply chain in a background of inflationary tension. 2021 was also marked by growing environmental pressures.
For Dassault Aviation, 2021 was a good year for both civil aviation and military sectors, with an exceptional order intake of 100 aircraft (49 Rafale and 51 Falcon) and net sales of EUR 7.2 billion. In addition, the Group delivered 30 Falcon (compared with the guidance of 25) and 25 Rafale (consistent with the guidance).
In the military sector, 2021 saw:
Rafale success has also been confirmed in early 2022 by signature of a 42 (6+36) Rafale contract for Indonesia for which the T0 is awaited and the authorization by the Greek parliament of the signature a contract for an additional 6 new Rafale.
Regarding the Eurodrone, on February 24th 2022, Airbus GmbH as prime contractor and on behalf of the 3 main contractors, Airbus Defence and Space S.A.U in Spain, Dassault Aviation in France and Leonardo S.p.A. in Italia and the Organization for Joint Armament Cooperation (OCCAR) representing the first 4 customers (Germany, France, Italy and Spain) signed the Eurodrone contract relative to the development, the production and the 5 year maintenance of 20 systems. Dassault Aviation will be in charge of flight control and mission communication systems, (with Thales).
For the multi-mission Falcon, work continued on "Albatros" (surveillance and maritime response aircraft on a Falcon 2000LXS platform) and "Archange" (electronic warfare aircraft on a Falcon 8X platform). The sixth Falcon 2000 for the Japan Coast Guard was delivered. Furthermore, commercial prospections are ongoing.

In the civil aviation segment, 30 Falcon were delivered (for guidance of 25) and 51 Falcon were ordered in 2021. This increase in activity is due to the recovery of business aviation market and expansion of the product line with the Falcon 6X and Falcon 10X. The year also saw:
The backlog as of December 31, 2021 is 55 new Falcon, compared with 34 at the end of 2020.
The "Leading Our Future" transformation plan continued in 2021. The aim of this plan is to modernize the infrastructures and processes to improve the competitiveness of the Group. In 2021, we were able to put in place the new methodological framework, collaborative platforms and modernized infrastructure and resources by relying on digital levers.
The Company also pursued its efforts to reduce the impact of its processes and products on the environment. The Falcon range is already capable of operating with 50% sustainable fuel.
in the continuity of the elapsed year, our objectives for 2022 are:
The Guidance for 2022 is to deliver 13 Rafale and 35 Falcon. Net sales will be down compared to 2021.
The Board of Directors would like to congratulate all the Group's employees for the past year's success and express its confidence in achieving the objectives for the coming year.
This Directors' Report may contain forward-looking statements which represent objectives and cannot be construed as forecasts regarding the Company's results or any other performance indicator. The actual results may differ significantly from the forward-looking statements due to various risks and uncertainties, as described in this report.


In accordance with Order No. 2017-1180 of July 19, 2017 and Decree No. 2017-1265 of August 9, 2017, the Directors' Report includes a non-financial performance declaration (NFPD) containing the following information:
The scope of the NFPD is based on the financial consolidation scope. However, due to restricted activity and/or workforce or the lack of monitoring by Dassault Aviation, some subsidiaries have not been included. Therefore, the following were excluded:
Each published indicator is subject to a reporting protocol detailing the definition of the indicator, the scope and the calculation methodology. Indicators are calculated on the basis of a calendar year (from January 1 to December 31).
Taking into account the mode of data gathering and the locations of the subsidiaries, the reporting scope may vary according to the indicators. Certain indicators cannot be consolidated on account of the differences in regulations between the countries.
Under the framework of ISO 14001 certification, reporting procedures for environmental indicators are applied by the Parent Company.
The social data of this report is based on fact sheets and methodology sheets that form the reference base for reporting social data of the Dassault Aviation Group, in force in 2021. The defined indicators are in compliance with national regulations.
The following details are given for the following indicators:

The environmental indicators and the associated generation methods are subject to descriptive methodological procedures both for the Parent Company and for its subsidiaries.
These procedures are included in the documentation repository of the Parent Company and distributed to the various entities contributing to the generation of these indicators.
The year 2020, disrupted by the covid 19 crisis, is not representative of the Company's activities. The year 2019 was therefore chosen as the reference year. In addition, the reporting of subsidiaries TMS and Execujet has only been effective since 2020, year of their integration into the Group.
Changes in environmental indicators having as reference the year 2019 are therefore only available on the consolidated scope Parent Company, DFS, Sogitec and DFJ.
The balances are produced per calendar year and consolidated, when the data so allows, against invoices and meter readings for the period from January to December. Unavailable information relating to the last months of the year is estimated by comparison with the equivalent months of the previous year or based on the average for the same month of the last three years. In the absence of data, it is possible to extrapolate from the data for year n-1.
The data for year n-1, estimated at the time of publication of that financial year, are likely to change in the publication of the report for year n, after receiving the actual data.
The consumption of kerosene for maintenance activities is calculated on the basis of the purchased, nonreinvoiced fuel.
The consumption of kerosene for production activities includes both civil and military aircraft.
Scope 3 sources of greenhouse gas emissions were analyzed and retained in the non-financial performance declaration if they were assessed as significant, or as non-significant but with accessible decarbonization levers. This analysis and quantitative reporting are based on the comprehensive carbon footprint assessment carried out in 2021 on 2019 data with the help of a specialist firm.
Work on scope 3 is ongoing in 2022, which explains the lack of certain data. This applies mainly to the reduction targets and "upstream and downstream freight transport" and "travel to and from work" data calculated for 2019, which could not be recalculated in 2020 and 2021.
The scope 3 emissions source "use of Falcon products sold" is calculated in accordance with the GHG protocol. The effect of contrails and nitrogen oxides (NOx) are not included in the reporting at this stage, as recommended in the "GHG Protocol" according to the 2006 IPCC Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories.


Dassault Aviation is committed to respecting human rights through its Code of Ethics, internal organization, the evaluation and monitoring of its suppliers, and the various international texts we adhere to. The measures taken to further this commitment are detailed in Section 4.8.
In accordance with Article 17 of Law No. 2016-1691 of December 9, 2016 respecting transparency, the fight against corruption and the modernization of economic life, Dassault Aviation takes measures to prevent and detect, in France and abroad, acts of corruption or influence peddling.
Dassault Aviation complies with the tax regulations in force and, as such, pays taxes in the countries in which it operates its industrial activity.
The non-financial data contained in the Non-Financial Performance Declaration and the methods used to compile and validate the data were subjected to an external audit by the independent third party Mazars.

For the year ended December 31, 2021
To the Shareholders,
In our capacity as Statutory Auditor of Dassault Aviation, appointed as independent third party and accredited by COFRAC under number 3-1058 (scope of accreditation available at www.cofrac.fr), we performed procedures to provide a reasoned opinion expressing a limited assurance conclusion on the historical financial information of the consolidated non-financial performance declaration, prepared by applying the company's procedures (hereinafter the "Guidelines"), for the year ended December 31, 2021 (hereinafter the "Information" and the "Declaration", respectively), presented in the Director's Report pursuant to the legal and regulatory provisions of Articles L. 225-102-1, R. 225-105 and R. 225-105-1 of the French Commercial Code (Code de commerce).
Based on the procedures performed, as described in the section "Nature and scope of procedures" and the evidences obtained, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the non-financial performance declaration does not comply with the applicable regulatory provisions and that the Information, taken as a whole, is not fairly presented in accordance with the Guidelines.
The absence of a generally accepted and commonly used framework or established practices on which to base the assessment and measurement of Information allows for the use of different, but acceptable, measurement techniques that may affect comparability across entities and over time.
Consequently, the Information should be read and understood referring to the Guidelines whose the significant elements are presented in the Declaration and available on request at the company's head office.
As indicated in the Declaration, Information may be subject to uncertainty inherent in the state of scientific or economic knowledge and in the quality of the external data used. Some information is sensitive to the methodological choices, assumptions and/or estimates made in preparing it and presented in the Declaration.
The Board of Directors is responsible for:


The Declaration has been prepared by applying the Guidelines as mentioned above.
Based on our work, our responsibility is to express a limited assurance conclusion on:
As it is our responsibility to make an independent conclusion on the Information as prepared by management, we are not authorized to be involved in the preparation of the Information, as this might compromise our independence.
It is not our responsibility to comment on:
We performed our work in accordance with Articles A. 225-1 et seq. of the French Commercial Code and the professional guidance issued by the French Institute of Statutory Auditors (Compagnie nationale des commissaires aux comptes) relating to this engagement in place of verification program and with ISAE 3000 (revised).
Our independence is defined by the requirements of article L. 822-11-3 of the French Commercial Code and the French Code of Ethics for Statutory Auditors (Code de déontologie). In addition, we have implemented a system of quality control including documented policies and procedures regarding compliance with the applicable legal and regulatory requirements, ethical requirements and French Institute of Statutory Auditors (Compagnie nationale des commissaires aux comptes) relating to this procedure.
Our work engaged the skills of five people between October 2021 and February 2022 and took a total of 4 weeks.
We conducted some 20 interviews with the people responsible for preparing the Declaration, representing in particular the environment health and safety, human resources, purchasing and ethics departments.
We planned and preformed our work taking into account the risk of material misstatement of the Information.

We believe that the procedures we have performed, based on our professional judgment, are sufficient to provide a basis for a limited assurance conclusion:
1 Qualitative information: attractiveness, employment and skills; health, safety and workplace conditions; climate Change; EHS regulatory compliance; traceability and obsolescence of dangerous substances; Supply Chain: customer duty; business ethics.
2 Quantitative information: % of personnel trained; frequency rate of workplace accidents; severity rate of workplace accidents; energy consumption by source; greenhouse gas emissions (scope 1 and 2); % of new suppliers evaluated; % of suppliers at potential risk; number of incidents of corruption; number of training provided; number of people trained; average number of regulatory texts; maximum number of applicable requirements
3 Selected sites: Dassault Aviation Biarritz, Dassault Falcon Jet – Little Rock, Dassault Falcon Service – Le Bourget

The procedures implemented within the framework of a limited assurance audit are less extensive than those required for a reasonable assurance performed in accordance with the professional guidance issued by the French Institute of Statutory Auditors (Compagnie nationale des commissaires aux comptes); a higher level of assurance would have required us to carry out more extensive procedures.

This is a free translation into English of the Statutory Auditor's report issued in French and is provided solely for the convenience of English-speaking readers. This report should be read in conjunction with, and construed in accordance with, French law and professional standards applicable in France.
Dear Shareholders,
The purpose of this report is to update you about the corporate governance of Dassault Aviation (hereinafter the "Company"), the policy relating to the corporate officers' compensation, and the components of that compensation.
Prepared in application of Articles L. 225-37 et seq. and L. 22-10-8 et seq of the French Commercial Code, it is presented to you along with the Director's Report. The Legal Affairs and Insurance Department and the Financial Department carried out preparatory checks on the drafting of said report, which was then reviewed by the statutory auditors as part of their due diligence and approved by the Board of Directors on March 3, 2022.

In accordance with Article L. 22-10-10(4) of the French Commercial Code, the Board of Directors of Dassault Aviation decided in 2021, after reviewing the provisions of the current corporate governance codes issued by AFEP-MEDEF and Middlenext, that those codes do not constitute its corporate governance guidelines.
Furthermore, Dassault Aviation has decided to adopt a certain number of governance rules in addition to the legal requirements:

Lastly, with regard to the corporate officers' compensation, the Company applies all provisions of the laws in force.
As of the date of this report, the Board of Directors is composed of eight members with the experience and expertise required to fulfill their office: Éric Trappier (Chairman and Chief Executive Officer) and Charles Edelstenne (Honorary Chairman), Besma Boumaza, Marie-Hélène Habert and Lucia Sinapi Thomas, Thierry Dassault, Henri Proglio and Stéphane Marty (appointed as director representing employees as of January 1, 2021), with renewable four-year terms of office.
The table below shows the expiration dates of the terms of office of the directors, which are renewed on a staggered basis.

(1) Following the death of Olivier Dassault on March 7, 2021, Thierry Dassault was co-opted on April 12, 2021 for the remainder of his predecessor's term of office, i.e. until the Annual General Meeting due to be held in 2023.
(2) Following the resignation of Catherine Dassault, Besma Boumaza was co-opted on April 12, 2021 for the remainder of her term of office, i.e. until the Annual General Meeting due to be held in 2024.
(3) Following the retirement of Richard Bédère, Stéphane Marty was appointed as of January 1, 2021 for the remainder of his term of office, i.e. until July 10, 2022.


The aforementioned directors are all of French nationality.
At December 31, 2020, the directors are aged between 45 and 83 with an average age of 64. This includes the director representing employees.
Three women currently sit on the Board of Directors, out of a total of seven members (excluding the director representing employees, in accordance with the law). This equates to a percentage of 43% women, which is above the legal requirement of 40% set by Article L. 22-10-3 of the French Commercial Code concerning gender-balanced representation on Boards of Directors.
Dassault Aviation recognizes the importance of having a number of independent directors on its Board of Directors. The Group considers a director to be independent if he or she has no vested interests and contributes, through his or her skills and freedom of judgment, to the Board's ability to perform its duties. To be classified as independent, directors must not be in a position likely to alter their freedom of judgment or place them in a real or potential conflict of interest.
The status of independent director is reviewed annually and when a new director is appointed or their term of office is renewed, in view of following formal criteria:
The Board of Directors may find that a director who does not meet these criteria is nevertheless independent.
The outcomes of this review are communicated to the shareholders annually in the present Report on Corporate Governance and prior to any vote on the first appointment or reappointment of a director.
The table below summarizes the outcome of the independence review of each of the directors concerned according to the criteria set out above:
| Besma Boumaza |
Lucia Sinapi Thomas |
Henri Proglio |
|
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 - not being an employee or holding an executive position in the five preceding years, | | | |
| 2 - does not exercise cross mandates | | | |
| 3 - not representation of a major shareholder | | | |
| 4 – no close relationship with a commercial or financial partner | | | |
| 5 - not be closely related to a major shareholder or executive member | | | |
| 6 - not have been a statutory auditor of the Company | | | |
At its meeting on March 3, 2022, the Board of Directors confirmed, following consideration, that Besma Boumaza, Lucia Sinapi Thomas and Henri Proglio were independent directors in accordance with the Company's independence criteria. The three independant directors out of a total of seven board members represent 43% of the Board of Directors (excluding the director representing employees).

Whenever a director is appointed or reappointed, shareholders are provided with detailed information on his or her education and professional experience, which, in addition to his or her personal qualities and values, reflects his or her skill and ability to serve out that term of office.
Stéphane Marty replaced Richard Bédère as the director representing employees with effect from January 1, 2021, following his retirement after a six-year term of office.
In accordance with Article 15 of the Company's Articles of Association and Article 4 of the Board of Directors' bylaws, each director, with the exception of the director representing employees in accordance with the law, is required to own a minimum of two hundred and fifty shares in registered form throughout his or her entire term of office (proforma after the division of the par value of the shares). The number of shares held as of December 31, 2021 by each director is specified in paragraph 1.3 "Offices held and duties performed by corporate officers in 2021".

To ensure the attendance of Directors at Board meetings, the Board of Directors determines the meeting schedule of the Board of Directors and the Audit Committee from one year to the next. This schedule is updated and regular reminders are sent to participants by the Secretary to the Board of Directors.
The Board of Directors meets at least twice a year to approve the company and interim financial statements and as often as required in the interests of the Company.
The notices of Board meetings specifying the agenda are sent to the directors, the statutory auditors and the Government Commissioner at least one week in advance, except in case of emergencies.
Prior to each Board meeting, the Chairman of the Board of Directors ensures that each director receives a complete, relevant, balanced file of information with a sufficient period of time, except in case of emergencies, to enable him or her to prepare for said meeting.
The statutory auditors and the Government Commissioner receive the same documents as the Directors.
In 2021, the Board of Directors met three times, on March 4, April 12 and July 22. Given the continuing exceptional circumstances surrounding Covid-19 and in accordance with Decree No. 2020-321 of March 25, 2020, extended by Order No. 2020-1497 of December 2, 2020 and Decree No. 2020-164 of December 18, 2020, the Board meeting of April 12, 2021 was held by teleconference to allow all directors to attend remotely.
The average attendance rate at Board meetings was 100%.
In 2021, the Board of Directors continued to monitor developments in the Covid-19 pandemic situation and the measures taken by the Executive Management.
In addition, the Board of Directors supervised the implementation of the strategies chosen and reviewed the Company's general operations. In particular, the Board of Directors:
In addition, the Board of Directors:

Pursuant to the order ("Ordonnance") of December 8, 2008, which transposed Directive 2006/43/EC of May 17, 2006 on statutory audits of company and consolidated financial statements, on July 22, 2009 the Board of Directors established an Audit Committee.
In 2021, the Audit Committee met twice : on March 1 for the 2020 financial statements and on July 21 for the financial statements for the first half of 2021. The attendance rate of Committee members at meetings in 2021 was 100%.
The Audit Committee consists of Henri Proglio, Chairman, Charles Edelstenne and Lucia Sinapi Thomas. They were appointed because of the expertise they received from their academic training, their experience in finance and accounting for listed companies, and their time as members of executive management. All three are nonexecutive directors.
This composition meets the requirements of the aforementioned order ("Ordonnance"). The Board of Directors considered that Lucia Sinapi Thomas and Henri Proglio met the independence criteria set forth in paragraph 1.2 above.
The Audit Committee is responsible for monitoring:
The Audit Committee meets at least twice a year. Participants, including the statutory auditors, are notified of this via a schedule set from one year to the next. The schedule is sent to all participants and meeting reminders are sent by the Secretary of the Board.
The Audit Committee:

In addition to the Articles of Association, which set out the Company's rules of operation, the Board meeting of July 25, 2012 approved the Board of Directors' bylaws, which allow in particular directors to take part in meetings (debating and voting) by means of telecommunications that are compliant with applicable regulations. On March 4, 2021, the Board of Directors approved a new version of the Board of Directors' bylaws.
The Board of Directors' bylaws are available for viewing online on the Company's website at www.dassaultaviation.com.
With respect to the prevention and management of conflicts of interest, directors are required to inform the Board of Directors of any situation of potential or actual conflict of interest between them and the corporate interests of Dassault Aviation and must, where applicable, refrain from attending the discussions and abstain from voting on the corresponding deliberation at the meeting.
In particular, at any time, the participation of any director in a transaction in which Dassault Aviation has a direct interest or of which he or she became aware as a director shall be brought to the attention of the Board of Directors prior to its conclusion.
In addition, GIMD, as the majority shareholder of Dassault Aviation, takes care to prevent potential conflicts of interest with respect to the Directors appointed on its proposal.
As of the date of this report and to the best of the Company's knowledge, there is no potential conflict of interest between the duties of the directors with respect to Dassault Aviation and their private interests.
These measures are supplemented by the Internal Charter on regulated agreements and agreements relating to current operations and concluded under normal conditions described in paragraph 1.5 of this report.
In accordance with the recommendations stated in the November 3, 2010 AMF Guide, the European Regulation of April 16, 2014 on market abuses and the October 26, 2016 AMF Guide for permanent information and the management of privileged information, the Company established procedures for "black-out periods" (periods to refrain from transactions involving the shares issued by the Company), which begin at least 30 days before the publication of company and half-yearly financial statements. Since the financial press releases are in general published by the Company before the opening of the stock market, the date of publication is included in the prohibited period.
Every year, the directors are informed by letter of the calendar of "black-out periods" for the coming year.
The financial calendar is published online on the Company's website at the start of each financial period.
In addition, the list of permanent and occasional insiders is reviewed quarterly and at any other time as needed.
Pursuant to Article L. 225-37-4-2° of the French Commercial Code, must be mentioned in the Report on Corporate Governance, agreements entered into, directly or indirectly or by proxy:
with the exception of "agreements representing a current transaction entered into under normal terms and conditions."


To the Company's knowledge, there is no agreement:
that would not constitute a current transaction concluded under normal terms and conditions.
In accordance with Law No. 2019-486 of May 22, 2019 on the growth and transformation of so-called "Pacte" companies, the Board of Directors of the Company established a procedure for regularly assessing whether agreements deemed to be current fulfill the following two conditions: they relate to current transactions and are entered into under normal conditions.
This procedure, as expressed in an Internal Charter, was approved by the Dassault Aviation Board of Directors on February 26, 2020 and has been applicable since that date. It is based on the joint evaluation by the Chief Financial Officer and the Legal Affairs and Insurance Director of the Company, followed by the Audit Committee.
In accordance with the laws in force, the possibility of separating the duties of Chairman of the Board of Directors and of Chief Executive Officer was introduced into the Company's bylaws during the General Meeting of April 25, 2002.
On April 25, 2002, the Board of Directors decided that the Chairman of the Board of Directors would be responsible for the Executive Management of the Company.
This was because the Board of Directors had chosen the Executive Management option that it deemed best suited to the Company's specific features. The decision was therefore made not to separate the duties of Chairman of the Board of Directors and of Chief Executive Officer.
Since January 9, 2013, the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer has been assisted by a Chief Operating Officer.
This mode of Executive Management was maintained by the Board of Directors on May 16, 2019, when it also renewed the terms of the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and of the Chief Operating Officer for four years with the same powers.
The powers of the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer are not limited by the Company's bylaws nor by the Board of Directors, in the decision renewing his term of office.
The Chairman of the Board of Directors organizes and directs the work of the Board, reporting back on this to the General Meeting. The Chairman executes the decisions of the Board. He sees to it that the Company management bodies run smoothly and ensures that the directors are able to fulfill their duties.
The Chief Executive Officer is vested with the broadest powers to act in all circumstances on behalf of the Company. The Chief Executive Officer therefore exercises his powers with no limitations other than those set forth by the applicable regulations concerning the powers attributed expressly by law to General Meetings of shareholders and to the Board of Directors.


The Chief Operating Officer assists the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. With respect to third parties, he has the same powers as the Chief Executive Officer.
Presided over by the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, this committee includes the persons in charge of the Company's various departments.
As of December 31, 2021, it consisted of:
This Committee covers all subjects related to running and operating the different aspects of the Company. It meets once per week.
Our Company is mainly masculine due to the highly industrial and technical nature of its activity. Women represent between 15% and 20% of the engineering schools population.
Being conscious of the importance of gender parity, the Company has adopted a proactive policy for hiring women, which has been strengthened since 2010 with quantified recruitment targets. This led to an increase in the percentage of women from 15.5% in 2010 to 18.8% in 2021.
At December 31, 2021, women account for 14% of the most senior positions (position IIIB and above) and 7% of management positions. The Company has set quantitative and qualitative objectives to improve this situation:

In addition, promotions to the highest levels of responsibility are subject to an annual review by the Executive Management to ensure that women are properly represented.

The compensation of the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and of the Chief Operating Officer consists of fixed compensation.
This compensation changes according to the increase policy for executives of the Company resulting from the Annual Mandatory Negotiations, unless decided otherwise by the Board of Directors.
In 2022, the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Operating Officer, under their respective mandates, will not receive:
In 2022, the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Operating Officer will receive performance shares.
On March 3, 2022, the Board of Directors decided to award them 20,000 and 14,500 shares respectively. These shares will become vested (between 0% and 112%) provided the following performance criteria are met:
Furthermore, the Board of Directors has determined the following additional conditions:
In addition, the 2022 Share plan prohibits corporate officers who have been granted performance shares from using risk hedging until after the end of the holding period.
The employment contracts of the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and of the Chief Operating Officer have been suspended. Upon effective reinstatement of the contracts, they will recover the rights of salaried senior executives in their category, according to Company rules, which will be revalued at the date of termination of their term of office by the average percentage increase in executive salaries during the period of suspension of the employment contract.
In particular, upon effective reinstatement of their contracts, the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Operating Officer shall be subject to the conditions of severance pay applicable to employees of their category in accordance with Company rules, it being specified that, depending on the formula chosen, the seniority taken into account may cover the years during which their employment contract was suspended, like the other employees.
For supplementary pensions, they are eligible for:

Finally, the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and Chief Operating Officer shall each receive, during the performance of their terms of office, a chauffeur-driven company car, reimbursement of the actual expenses incurred in their duties, and health and welfare plans applicable to all of the Company's executive employees.
The "Sapin 2" Law introduced a new shareholder consultation regime for the compensation of corporate officers, as amended by order ("Ordonnance") No. 2019-1234 of November 27, 2019, and supplemented by Decree No. 2019-1235 of the same day.

On March 3, 2022, the Board of Directors closed and authorized the publication of the Dassault Aviation consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021. These consolidated financial statements will be submitted for approval to the Annual General Meeting on May 18, 2022.
Dassault Aviation Group consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with IFRS standards, amendments and interpretations as adopted by the European Union and applicable at the closing date.
Since January 1, 2021, the Group has applied the amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39, and IFRS 7 in connection with the reform of interbank reference rates.
These texts have no impact on the Group's consolidated financial statements.
In addition, the Group has finalized its analysis of the implications of the interpretation related to the attribution of post-employment benefits to periods of service. The impacts on the Group's financial statements are not material.
The following texts were not applied in advance by the Group when that option was offered.
The main texts adopted by the European Union whose application is mandatory after January 1, 2021 are as follows:
The main texts published by the IASB and not yet adopted by the European Union are as follows:
The impacts of these texts on the Group's financial statements are currently being assessed.
To prepare the Group's financial statements, Management is required to make estimates and issue assumptions that could have an impact on the amounts entered in the balance sheet and in the income statement.
These estimates concern, in particular:


These estimates are calculated by taking into account past experience, elements known at the closing date and any reasonable change assumptions.
Subsequent results may therefore differ from such estimates.
Consolidated balance sheet items are presented as current/non-current. The Group's activities have long operating cycles. As a result, the assets/liabilities generally realized in the context of the operating cycle (inventories and work-in-progress, contract assets and liabilities, receivables, payables, etc.) are presented in the consolidated balance sheet as current assets and liabilities, without distinction between the amount due within one year and the amount due at more than one year.
Consolidated income statement items are presented by nature.
Net operating income represents all income and expenses not arising from financial activities, equity associates, discontinued operations or operations being sold, and income taxes. It is composed of two separate parts: current operating income and other non-current income and expenses. Only significant unusual items are recorded in other non-current income and expenses.
IFRS 8, "Operating Segments," requires the presentation of information according to internal management criteria. The activity of the Dassault Aviation Group relates entirely to the aerospace domain. Internal reporting to the chairman and chief executive officer and to the chief operating officer, used for strategy and decisionmaking, does not include a performance analysis, under IFRS 8 terms, at a lower level than this sector.
Companies over which Dassault Aviation exercises exclusive control, directly or indirectly, are fully consolidated if their relative significance justifies it.
Companies over which Dassault Aviation exercises significant influence, directly or indirectly, are consolidated using the equity method if their relative significance justifies it.
Joint arrangements classified as joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method if their relative significance justifies it.
For the application of the factor of relative significance, a company controlled by the Group or in which it has significant influence is included in the scope of consolidation if all of the following criteria are met:
Entities can be consolidated by a management decision even though they do not meet the criteria previously defined. As of December 31, 2021, all non-consolidated companies do not collectively exceed the thresholds described above.


All material inter-company transactions and internal margins included in non-current assets, inventories and work-in-progress are eliminated.
The majority of companies close their fiscal year on December 31.
The currency used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements is the euro.
The financial statements of non-euro area subsidiaries are translated as follows:
Currency translation adjustments are recognized in equity and do not impact the income statement.
Business combinations are recognized under the acquisition method as described in IFRS 3. Under this method, the Group recognizes the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their fair value on the acquisition date.
Goodwill, which reflects the difference between the acquisition cost of investments and the share of the revalued net assets, is recognized:
The allocation of the purchase price is finalized within a maximum period of one year from the date of acquisition.
Goodwill is not amortized but is subject to annually impairment tests (see Note 1.3.3. Impairment and recoverable value).
When IFRS were initially applied, Dassault Aviation has chosen not to restate goodwill recognized prior to January 1, 2004. The goodwill recognized on this date represents the value net of any previously recognized amortization.
Acquisition-related costs (valuation fees, consulting fees, etc.) are recognized under operating income as incurred.
Intangible assets and property, plant and equipment are recognized at acquisition or production cost, less accumulated depreciation or amortization and impairment. Each identified component of an intangible asset or item of property, plant and equipment is recognized and depreciated and amortized separately.
The rights of use relating to leases as defined by IFRS 16 are recorded on the balance sheet at the lease contract conclusion for the discounted value of future lease payments. Contracts within the scope of IFRS 16 are mainly related to real estate leases (land and buildings). The terms selected generally correspond to the firm duration of the contract unless an intention to renew or terminate the contract is known. The Group applies


the two exemptions provided for by the standard (leases of less than 12 months and leases for low-value assets).
Depreciation and amortization are calculated using the straight-line method. No residual value is taken into account, except for aircraft.
Property, plant and equipment and intangible assets are depreciated and amortized over their estimated useful lives. Useful lives are reviewed at each year-end for material assets.
In accordance with IAS 38 "Intangible Assets" concerning development costs, the Group determines the development phase of its programs that meets the criteria for capitalization. Development costs are capitalized if they satisfy the following three determining criteria:
The asset must generate clearly identifiable future economic benefits attributable to a specific product.
Capitalized development costs are valued at the production cost. They are amortized on the basis of the number of aircraft delivered during the year, divided by an estimated number of aircraft to be delivered under the program.
Initial useful lives are determined as follows:
| depend on the number of units to be produced |
|---|
| based on the duration of each lease contract |
The initial useful life of an asset is extended or reduced if the conditions in which the asset is used justify it.
Any gain or loss arising from the derecognition of an asset (difference between the net disposal gain and the net carrying value) is included in the income statement in the year of derecognition.
In accordance with IAS 36 "Impairment of Assets," all non-current assets (tangible and intangible) and goodwill are subject to an impairment test when an indication of impairment is detected, and at least once a year on December 31 for goodwill and intangible assets with an indefinite useful life.
Indications of impairment derive from significant adverse changes of a lasting nature, affecting the economic environment or the assumptions or objectives used by the Group.

Impairment tests consist in ensuring that the recoverable values of the property, plant and equipment, intangible assets and cash-generating units or group of cash-generating units to which the goodwill is assigned are at least equal to their net book value. Otherwise, impairment is recognized in net income and the net book value of the asset is reduced to its recoverable value.
The recoverable value of property, plant and equipment or an intangible asset is the higher value between its fair value, less the costs of disposal, and its value in use.
The recoverable amount of a cash-generating unit corresponds to its value in use. Each consolidated company represents a cash-generating unit, i.e. the smallest identifiable group of assets that generates cash inflows and outflows.
The value in use is calculated using the discounted future cash flow method. Discount rates are reviewed each year. As of December 31, 2021, the Group's after-tax discount rate was 8.4% (8.7% as of December 31, 2020). Post-tax cash flows are projected over a period not exceeding 5 years and the method takes into account a terminal value. These future cash flows result from the economic assumptions and projected operating conditions adopted by the Management.
When a cash-generating unit needs to be impaired, the impairment is first of all applied to the goodwill then, if appropriate, to the other assets of the cash-generating unit proportionate to their net book value. Impairments may be reversed, except for those relating to goodwill.
Investments in equity associates undergo an impairment test once there are objective indications of any longterm loss in value.
An impairment is recognized if the recoverable value is lower than the carrying value, with the recoverable value being equivalent to the value in use, as defined in paragraph 1.3.3, or the fair value net of transaction costs, whichever is higher.
Concerning the equity investment in Thales, when an impairment test is carried out, the operational and financial assumptions used come directly from data provided by Thales management.
An impairment may be reversed if the recoverable value once again exceeds the carrying value.
These securities are recognized at their fair value.
In the absence of any external valuation elements, the fair value of unconsolidated investments, non-listed, represents the share in net assets plus any significant unrealized gains. Fair value is calculated on the basis of the most recent financial statements available at year-end. These items are classified as level 3 (according to IFRS 13).
The fair value of Embraer shares corresponds to the market price as of the balance sheet date. These items are classified as level 1 (according to IFRS 13).
Changes in fair value and gains or losses on disposal for these securities will be recognized under other income and expenses directly recorded through equity, without any impact on income or loss. Only dividends continue to be recorded in income.
Other financial assets mainly comprise advance lease payments, loans granted to investments and loans granted to employees for a housing loan. Loans are recorded at amortized cost (historical cost less repayments). Other assets are recorded at their historical cost.
Other non-current financial assets also include Dassault Aviation's investment in the aeronautical investment fund, valued at fair value through income or loss.


Incoming raw materials, semi-finished and finished goods inventories are measured at acquisition cost for items purchased and production cost for items produced. Outgoing inventories are valued at the weighted average cost, except for used aircraft which are stated at acquisition cost. Work-in-progress is stated at production cost.
Inventories and work-in-progress are impaired when their net realizable value is less than their carrying amount.
Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs for completion and making the sale. It takes into account the technical or commercial obsolescence of articles and the risks associated with their low turnover.
For a given contract, the amount of cumulative revenue accounted for in respect of all performance obligations, less payments received and trade receivables which, in the balance sheet, are booked separately, is recognized under contract assets or contract liabilities.
Trade and other receivables are presented separately on the balance sheet. They are systematically classified as current assets. Trade receivables include receivables arising from finance leases. These represent the discounted amount of the expected lease revenues, plus the residual value of the aircraft at the end of the finance lease.
A provision for impairment is recorded when the recoverable value of a receivable is lower than the book value.
The recoverable value of a receivable is estimated based on expected losses and takes into account the type of customer and the history of payments.
The receivable is impaired up to the amount of the estimated risk for the portion not covered by credit insurance (Bpifrance Assurance Export or collateral).
Non-impaired receivables are recent receivables and/or receivables with no material credit risk.
Foreign currency receivables, translated by each subsidiary into their local currency at the day's rate, are revalued at each closing on the basis of the closing rate. Revaluation differences are recognized in operating income.
These mainly correspond to cash investments in the form of marketable securities.
They are recognized at fair value, corresponding to the market price as of the balance sheet date. These items are classified as level 1 (according to IFRS 13).
Changes in fair value and gains or losses on the sale of these securities are recognized in financial income, as a change in fair value of other current financial assets.
Cash and cash equivalents satisfy the criteria set forth in IAS 7, "Statement of Cash Flows": short-term investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and that are not subject to a material risk of changes in value.
They are initially recognized at acquisition cost, and subsequently at fair value; this is the market price on the account closing date for listed securities.
The change in fair value and net gains or losses from disposals are recognized in financial income as income from cash and cash equivalents.

Treasury shares are deducted from equity at their acquisition cost. Any gains or losses from the sale of treasury shares are recognized directly in equity and do not contribute to the income for the fiscal year.
Dassault Aviation has settled plans to grant performance shares. These allotments are recognized as an expense representing the fair value of the services rendered by the beneficiaries.
The fair value of the services is determined by reference to the fair value of the shares on the grant date, adjusted for dividends not received during the vesting period and the cost of non-transferability.
The performance conditions are taken into account when estimating the number of shares to be granted at the end of the vesting period.
The benefits granted constitute personnel expenses and are recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. This expense is recognized against consolidated reserves.
Dassault Aviation has formal obligations under sales or procurement contracts relating to the equipment, products and/or services delivered (software development, systems integration, etc.).
These obligations can be distinguished between:
The amount of provisions is mainly determined as follows:
Commitments to employees for retirement costs are provisioned for the remaining obligations. The commitments are estimated for all employees on the basis of vested rights and a projection of current salaries, after taking into account the mortality risk, employee turnover, and a discounting assumption. The rates used have been determined based on the yield for top-ranking corporate long-term bonds, with maturity equivalent to the duration of the calculated liabilities.
The Group applies the revised IAS 19 which stipulates:
The provision that appears in the balance sheet corresponds to the total commitment net of plan assets. The impact on the income statement is fully recognized in operating income.


Foreign currency borrowings and payables, translated by each subsidiary into their local currency at the day's rate, are revalued at each closing based on the closing rate. Revaluation differences are recognized in operating income.
Loans taken out by the Group are initially recorded at the amount received net of transaction costs, and subsequently at the amortized cost, calculated using the effective interest rate.
Lease liabilities relating to leases as defined by IFRS 16 are recognized on the balance sheet at the origin of the lease for the discounted value of future payments.
Receivables and payables are recognized for their discounted amounts when the payment date is more than one year and the effects of the discounting are significant.
The provision relating to retirement severance payments and related benefits is discounted in accordance with IAS 19 "Employee Benefits" and the lease liabilities are discounted in accordance with IFRS 16 "Leases."
Other provisions are stated at their current value.
In accordance with IFRS standards, deferred tax assets and liabilities are not discounted.
The Group uses derivatives to hedge its exposure to the risk of changes in foreign exchange rates.
Exchange rates risks mainly arise from US dollar-denominated sales. The corresponding future cash flows are partially hedged using forward exchange contracts and currency options.
Upon initial recognition, derivatives are booked at acquisition cost in the balance sheet under "Derivative Financial Instruments."
They are subsequently stated at fair value, calculated on the basis of the market price communicated by the relevant financial institutions and the market parameters observed on the closing date, taking into account any counterparty risks. The valuation of financial instruments is level 2 (according to IFRS 13).
The Group applies hedge accounting when the criteria defined by IFRS 9 "Financial Instruments" are met. Foreign exchange derivatives are documented, on a case-by-case basis, on the basis of spot or forward prices.
Derivatives eligible for hedge accounting are recognized as follows:
If a derivative, chosen for the effectiveness of the economic hedging it provides to the Group, does not meet the conditions required by the hedge accounting standard (foreign exchange options), then changes in its fair value are recognized in financial income.
The results on completion are based on estimates of net sales and costs at completion (taking into account the program departments' forecasts) which are revised as the contract progresses and take into account the

latest known events at the closing date. The potential losses on completion are recognized as soon as they are known.
Net sales and net income are recognized over time if the transfer of control of goods is gradual and at a point in time otherwise.
For the majority of its contracts, the IFRS 15 criteria for the recognition of revenue over time are not met, in particular for Rafale and Falcon sales whose alternative use could be demonstrated. Revenue is therefore recognized when the goods are delivered in the majority of cases.
Finance leases are recognized as credit sales in application of IFRS 16, "Leases."
Revenue from performance of services is recognized over time, if the criteria of IFRS 15 are met, as it is the case for maintenance contracts. The percentage-of-completion method used by the Group will be the cost-tocost method: whereby revenue is recognized based on costs incurred at a given date divided by total costs expected at completion.
Services for which the criteria of IFRS 15 are not met, as is the case for certain development contracts, are recognized at the end of the service provided.
Contracts involving co-contractors and for which Dassault Aviation is the sole signatory are analyzed to determine the Company's status as a principal or agent. If the analysis classifies the Company as an agent, only the proportionate share of net sales due to the agent is recognized. Otherwise, the entirety of net sales and related expenses (including the share attributable to co-contractors) is recognized.
The backlog (see Note 25) corresponds to the transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligations on the closing date.
Research tax credits are included in operating income in "other revenue" when obtaining them does not depend on the realization of a tax profit.
Allowances received under partial activity schemes are also classified as "other revenue."
Net financial income/expense primarily represents:


Deferred taxes linked to temporary differences are calculated per company.
In accordance with the requirements of IAS 12 "Income Taxes," deferred tax assets are only recognized, for each company, insofar as the estimated future income is sufficient to cover these assets and their maturity does not exceed ten years.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realized or the liability is paid, based on local tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted by year-end.
Taxes on items recognized directly through equity are charged or credited to equity.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset per entity for presentation on the balance sheet.

As the tests performed in accordance with IAS 36 "Impairment of Assets" (see Note 1.3.3 on accounting principles) did not indicate any impairment loss, no provision for goodwill impairment was recognized.
A 10% increase in the discount rate, a 10% reduction in the growth rate or a 1-point decrease in operational profitability would not lead to any impairment.
Pursuant to IFRS, the goodwill for Thales, which is consolidated under the equity method, is included under "Equity associates" (see Note 5).

(1) other current financial assets, which include, in particular, Group cash investments in the form of listed marketable securities, are measured at fair value through profit or loss. Given their liquidity, the latter could be sold in the short term. (2) see detail of financial debts in Note 11.
An analysis of the performance of listed marketable securities classified as other current financial assets and cash equivalents is performed at each closing date. The investment portfolio does not show, line-by-line, any objective indication of significant impairment as of December 31, 2021 (as was the case on December 31, 2020). The corresponding risk analysis is described in Note 24.

The share capital stands at EUR 66,790 thousand and consists of 83,487,030 common shares of EUR 0.80 each as of December 31, 2021, the par value of Dassault Aviation shares having been divided by 10 on September 29, 2021. At the same par value, the number of shares comprising the share capital is unchanged compared with December 31, 2020.
The distribution of share capital as of December 31, 2021 is as follows:

(1) other financial liabilities mainly includes locked-in employee profit-sharing funds. Employee profit-sharing corresponds to "other long-term benefits," and should be valued and discounted according to the principles of IAS 19 (revised). However, in view of the low historical differences between remuneration rate and discount rate, the Group considers that the valuation method by amortized cost constitutes a reasonable approximation of the profit-sharing liability.

(1) provisions are updated to reflect changes to the fleet in service, deliveries during the period and contractual obligations induced by the execution of contracts.
(2) the application of the interpretation related to attribution of post-employment benefits to periods of service had no material impact on the Group's financial statements. These impacts were recognized in the P&L of the period. Actuarial adjustments contributed to the decrease in the provision for retirement severance payments in the amount of EUR 108,863 thousand. They are distributed as follows:
| French companies | -83,460 |
|---|---|
| US companies | -25,403 |
| Total actuarial adjustments | -108,863 |
(3) As of December 31, 2021, the other long-term benefits relating to long-service awards amounted to EUR 3,484,000, compared with EUR 3,698 thousand at the end of 2020.

Commitments relating to retirement severance payments are calculated for all Group employees using the projected unit credit method. They are provisioned in full for the remaining obligations.
Employment projections are weighted using French insurance code mortality rates and the recorded employee turnover rate (this may vary according to age). The obligation estimate depends on the employee's length of service at the end of the fiscal year in relation to their total career expectancy.
For the record, none of the Group companies have commitments for medical insurance plans.

For a given contract, a contract asset (liability) represents the unbilled receivables, less deferred income and advances and progress payments received from the customer.
The increase in contract liabilities due to advances received under the Defense France and Rafale Export contracts, as well as Falcon orders, was partially offset by the reduction in contract liabilities resulting from reversals of progress payments following Rafale Export deliveries during the period.
The increase in deferred income is essentially due to the alignment of billed revenue with the rate of transfer of control of development services provided to customers under Rafale Export contracts.
As Dassault Aviation acts as "principal" on the Rafale Export contracts (Egypt, Qatar, India and Greece), the progress payments received include the co-contractors' share. The progress payments paid reflect the repayment of the cocontractors' share:

The Group has no significant risk in relation to its financial debt. A description of the financial debts appears in Note 11.
The Group has a solid financial structure and works only with top-tier banks.
The Group investment portfolio is primarily composed of money market investments with no significant risk of impairment.

The Group allocates its investments and performs its cash and foreign exchange transactions with recognized financial institutions. The Group has no investments or accounts with financial institutions presenting a significant risk of default.
The Group limits counterparty risk by conducting most of its sales in cash and ensuring that the loans are secured by export insurance guarantees (Bpifrance Assurance Export) or collaterals. The share of receivables not covered by these procedures is subject to regular individual monitoring and, if necessary, a provision for impairment.
Given the arrangements in risk mitigation that are in place, and the provisions made in its accounts, the Group's residual exposure to the risk of default by a customer in a country subject to uncertainties is limited.
The Bpifrance Assurance Export guarantees and collateral obtained and not exercised as of the closing date are of the same nature as those as of December 31, 2020.
The amount of Bpifrance Assurance Export guarantees and collaterals obtained and not exercised at year-end appears in the table of off-balance sheet commitments (see Note 25).
The manufacturing risk is also guaranteed with Bpifrance Assurance Export for major military export contracts.
The Group covers risks from exchange rates and interest rates using derivative financial instruments whose book value is presented below:
| 12/31/2021 | 12/31/2020 | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| (in EUR thousands) | Assets | Liabilities | Assets | Liabilities |

| Derivative financial instruments | 802 | 81,449 | 84,303 | 3,562 |
| Net derivative financial instruments | 80,647 | 80,741 |

The Group is exposed to a foreign exchange risk through the parent company in relation to its Falcon sales, which are mainly denominated in US dollars. This risk is partially hedged by using forward currency contracts and foreign exchange options.
The Group partially hedges its cash flows that are considered highly probable. It ensures that the initial future cash flows will be sufficient to use the foreign exchange hedges in place. The hedged amount may be adjusted in accordance with changes over time in expected net cash flows.
This risk is permanent, taking into account exchange rate fluctuations and volatility. This is a significant risk for the Group, since the measures put in place to limit this risk are not sufficient to make the net risk zero (periods not covered by hedges, possible financial impact of hedges already taken out the event of reversal of market assumptions).
The foreign exchange derivatives subscribed by the Group are not all eligible for hedge accounting under IFRS 9 "Financial instruments." The breakdown is presented in the table below:
| (in EUR thousands) | Market value as of 12/31/2021 |
Market value as of 12/31/2020 |
|---|---|---|
| Instruments which qualify for hedge accounting | -73,370 | 58,414 |
| Instruments which do not qualify for hedge accounting | -7,277 | 22,327 |
| Exchange rate derivatives | -80,647 | 80,741 |
The counterparty risk for exchange rate derivatives (CVA/DVA) is based on the current exposure method and on the historical default probabilities per rating class communicated by the rating agencies. As of December 31, 2021, this counterparty risk is insignificant.
The breakdown of the fair value of the derivative financial instruments by maturity rate is as follows:
| (in EUR thousands) | Within one year |
In more than one year |
Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Exchange rate derivatives | -33,538 | -47,109 | -80,647 |
The Group is no longer exposed to interest rate volatility via variable-rate loans (see Note 11).
The impact on net income and equity of the change in fair value in hedging instruments over the period is as follows:

| Interest rate derivatives | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Net derivative financial instruments | 80,741 | -131,784 | -29,604 | -80,647 |
(1) recognized directly under income and expenses recognized directly through equity, share of fully consolidated companies. The amount of income and expenses recognized directly in equity and recycled to operating income over the period is EUR 5,765 thousand.
(2) change in fair value of foreign exchange hedging instruments which do not qualify for hedge accounting under the terms of IFRS 9 "Financial Instruments."
The change in fair value of foreign exchange derivatives is due in particular to the change in the closing price between December 31, 2020 (USD/EUR 1.2271) and December 31, 2021 (USD/EUR 1.1326).

On December 31, 2021, Embraer shares were valued at EUR 26,242 thousand (see Note 6). The Group is exposed to a currency risk on its stake in Embraer, which is listed in reals on the Brazilian market, and a price risk related to the fluctuation in the stock market price. A 10% upward or downward variation in the exchange rate and/or share price would not have a significant impact on the Group financial statements.

________
To the Annual General Meeting of Dassault Aviation Company,
In compliance with the engagement entrusted to us by your annual general meeting we have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Dassault Aviation Company for the year ended December 31, 2021.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements give a true and fair view of the assets and liabilities and of the financial position of the Group as at December 31, 2021 and of the results of its operations for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union.
The audit opinion expressed above is consistent with our report to the Audit Committee.
We conducted our audit in accordance with professional standards applicable in France. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Statutory Auditors' Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report.
We conducted our audit engagement in compliance with independence rules stipulated in the French Commercial Code and in the French Code of Ethics (Code de Déontologie) for statutory auditors, for the period from January 1, 2021 to the date of our report and specifically we did not provide any prohibited non-audit services referred to in Article 5 paragraph 1 of Regulation (EU) No 537/2014.
Due to the global crisis related to the Covid-19 pandemic, the financial statements of this period have been prepared and audited under specific conditions. Indeed, this crisis and the exceptional measures taken in the context of the state of sanitary emergency have had numerous consequences for companies, particularly on their operations and their financing, and have led to greater uncertainties on their future prospects. Those measures, such as travel restrictions and remote working, have also had an impact on the companies' internal organization and the performance of the audits.
It is in this complex and evolving context that, in accordance with the requirements of Articles L.823-9 and R.823-7 of the French Commercial Code (Code de commerce) relating to the justification of our assessments, we inform you of the key audit matters relating to risks of material misstatement that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period, as well as how we addressed those risks.


These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on specific items of the consolidated financial statements.
| Risk identified | Our response |
|---|---|
| Revenue recognition in accordance with IFRS 15 "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" |
|
| (Notes 1.3.16 14, 15 and 25 to the consolidated financial statements) Dassault Aviation operates its activities through contracts for which the net sales and the margin are accounted for in the accounts in accordance with IFRS 15 standard. A significant share of Group net sales and current operating income is related to the accounting for complex contracts. For those of these contracts for whose transfer of control is over time (EUR 1,110 million as of December 31, 2021, i.e. 15% of the Group's net sales), the cost-to-cost method is used to recognize revenue. For those whose transfer of control takes place at a given time (EUR 6,136 million i.e. 85% of the Group's net sales), the revenue is recognized upon completion of this event. Revenue recognition according to IFRS 15 is a key point of the audit since the analysis of contracts required a significant amount of judgment in: the identification of performance obligations; the assessment of whether or not the financing component is significant for determining the transaction price; the allocation of the transaction price to each of the performance obligations; and the determination of the revenue recognition rate (over time or at a point in time). |
Our work consisted of: for the new most significant contracts in terms of revenue, assessing the relevance of the analyses carried out by the Group and carry out a critical review on: o the identification of performance obligations; o the evaluation of the materiality or otherwise of the financing components by assessing their impact on the economics of the contracts and also by corroborating the payment schedule with the contractual data and rates used in the calculations; o the allocation of the transaction price by examining the contracts; o the rate of revenue recognition based in particular on (i) technical analyses documenting the notion of alternative use, (ii) contractual clauses and analyses prepared by the Group to document the notion of reasonable margin in the event of termination for customer convenience; reconciling the basic data used to determine the impacts of IFRS 15 on the financial statements and backlog with accounting and contractual data. |

| Accounting for the result to be recognized on Defense contracts and related provisions Based on discussions with the relevant Operational (Notes 1.3.12, 1.3.16, 12.2, 14 and 15 of the Departments, we took note of the procedures to consolidated financial statements) identify the costs and valuation of margins at completion. We also tested the functioning of internal key controls that we considered relevant to our audit. As of December 31, 2021, Defense net sales amounted to EUR 5,281 million i.e. 73% of the Our work consisted of: Group's activity. As described in note 1.3.16, the results at completion on Defense contracts, as well testing controls for net sales and cost to be as any provisions for loss on completion and incurred forecasts with respect to contracts; provisions for risks and charges at the closing date conducting interviews with program monitoring depend on the capacity of the entity: managers and carry out tests on sampled documents for a selection of the contracts that to measure the costs incurred on a contract, contributed most to the results of the period, in and order to: to reliably estimate the costs yet to be incurred o confirm the performance of the contract until the end of the contract. benefits when the revenue is recognized at a point in time; The estimates of the costs to be incurred are based o test the costs incurred and thus corroborate on a program monitoring process ensured by the the degree of progress as revenue is Programs Department and Finance Department gradually recognized; under the control of the Executive Management.

| Risk identified | Our response |
|---|---|
| Valuation of warranty provisions | |
| (Note 1.3.12 and 12.2 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements) Dassault Aviation provides warranties for its aircraft deliveries against hardware or software defects and is required to correct any regulatory non-compliance identified after the delivery of the equipment. These warranties therefore constitute a commitment for the Company. The costs of this commitment must be provisioned upon delivery of the airplane. |
On the basis of discussions with the relevant operational departments, we took note of the procedures to identify the risks to be guaranteed and the procedures put in place to determine the costs and other data used as a basis for the valuation of provisions for guarantees. We also tested the functioning of key controls that we considered relevant to our audit. |
| The estimated amount of the provisions is based on the data and expenses recorded by airplane model and type of transactions taken as collateral and on estimated costs, in particular cost estimates for specialists, handling of malfunctions and regulatory non-compliance. Given the fleet in service and the variety of costs potentially incurred, provisions for warranties are determined by complex models that require judgments by several Operational Departments. Management's valuation of these commitments caused Dassault Aviation to recognize provisions for warranties of EUR 921 million as at December 31, 2021. |
In addition, our work consisted of: assessing the adequacy of the funding methodology used by the Group's management and the judgments exercised by it, assessing, through discussions with the relevant operational departments, the reasonableness of the main assumptions used to determine provisions for guarantees, randomly testing the source data and observed costs used for the valuation of the provisions and the accuracy of the calculations made. |
| The valuation of these provisions is a key point of the audit due to: the high level of judgment required for their determination, the complex nature of their valuation, their significant amount, and, consequently, the potentially significant impact on earnings and consolidated equity if their estimates vary. |

As required by law, we have also verified in accordance with professional standards applicable in France the information pertaining to the Group presented in the management report of the Board of Directors.
We have no matters to report as to its fair presentation and its consistency with the consolidated financial statements.
We attest that the consolidated non-financial performance declaration required by Article L.225-102-1 of the French Commercial Code (Code de commerce) is included in the information pertaining to the Group presented in the management report. Pursuant to Article L.823-10 of this Code, we have verified neither the fair presentation nor the consistency with the consolidated financial statements of the information contained therein. A report will be issued on this information by an independent third-party.
We have also verified, in accordance with the professional standard applicable in France relating to the procedures performed by the statutory auditor relating to the annual and consolidated financial statements presented in European single electronic format, that the presentation of the financial statements intended to be included in the annual financial report mentioned in Article L.451-1-2, I of the French Monetary and Financial Code (Code monétaire et financier), prepared under the responsibility of the Group Managing Director, complies with the single electronic format defined in the European Delegated Regulation n° 2019/815 of 17 December 2018. As it relates to consolidated financial statements, our work includes verifying that the tagging of these consolidated financial statements complies with the format defined in the above delegated regulation.
Based on the work we have performed, we conclude that the presentation of the consolidated financial statements intended to be included in the annual financial report complies, in all material respects, with the European single electronic format.
We have no responsibility to verify that the annual accounts that will ultimately be included by your company in the annual financial report filed with the AMF are in agreement with those on which we have performed our work.
We were appointed as statutory auditors of Dassault Aviation Company by the General Meeting held on June 19, 1990 for cabinet Mazars and held on May 12, 2020 for cabinet PricewaterhouseCoopers Audit.
As at December 31, 2021, audit firm Mazars and audit firm PricewaterhouseCoopers Audit were in the 32 nd year and 2nd of total uninterrupted engagement respectively.
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless it is expected to liquidate the Company or to cease operations.


The Audit Committee is responsible for monitoring the financial reporting process and the effectiveness of internal control and risks management systems and where applicable, its internal audit, regarding the accounting and financial reporting procedures.
The consolidated financial statements were closed by the Board of Directors.
Our role is to issue a report on the consolidated financial statements. Our objective is to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with professional standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.
As specified in Article L. 823-10-1 of the French Commercial Code (Code de commerce), our statutory audit does not include assurance on the viability of the Company or the quality of management of the affairs of the Company.
As part of an audit conducted in accordance with professional standards applicable in France, the statutory auditor exercises professional judgment throughout the audit and furthermore:

We submit a report to the Audit Committee which includes, in particular, a description of the scope of the audit and the audit program implemented, as well as the results of our audit. We also report, if any, significant deficiencies in internal control regarding the accounting and financial reporting procedures that we have identified.
Our report to the Audit Committee includes the risks of material misstatement that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period and which are therefore the key audit matters, that we are required to describe in this report.
We also provide the Audit Committee with the declaration provided for in Article 6 of Regulation (EU) N°537- 2014, confirming our independence within the meaning of the rules applicable in France such as they are set in particular by Articles L.822-10 to L.822-14 of the French Commercial Code (Code de commerce) and in the French Code of Ethics (Code de déontologie) for statutory auditors. When appropriate, we discuss with the Audit Committee the risks that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and the related safeguards.

A French société anonyme (Corp.) capitalized at EUR 66,789,624, listed and registered in France Paris Trade Register number 712 042 456
The financial statements of the parent company as of December 31, 2021 were closed by the Board of Directors on March 3, 2022, and will be submitted for approval to the Annual General Meeting on May 18, 2022. The company financial statements are prepared in accordance with ANC Regulation 2014-03 on the French General Accounting Plan, which has since been updated by a series of amending regulations and by the subsequent opinions and recommendations of the French Accounting Standards Authority.
The methods used to present the financial statements are comparable year-on-year.
The general accounting conventions have been applied, in compliance with the principle of prudence, and in line with the following basic assumptions:
and in line with the general rules for the establishment and presentation of annual financial statements. The individual financial statements have been prepared on the basis of historical cost.
The preparation of the Company's financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that could have an impact on the amounts reported in the balance sheet and in the income statement. Those estimates concern, in particular:
These estimations are calculated by taking into account past experience, items known at the closing date and any reasonable change assumptions. Subsequent results may therefore differ from such estimates.
Intangible assets and property, plant and equipment are recognized at acquisition or production cost, less accumulated depreciation or amortization and impairment. Interest expense is not capitalized.
Each identified component of an intangible asset or item of property, plant and equipment is recognized and depreciated or amortized separately.
Depreciation and amortization are calculated using the straight-line method. No residual value is taken into account, except for aircraft.
Depreciation and amortization periods depend on their estimated useful lives. Useful lives are reviewed at each year-end for material non-current assets. The initial useful life of an asset is extended or reduced if the conditions in which the asset is used justify it.


Useful lives are as follows:
| Software | 3-4 years |
|---|---|
| Industrial buildings | 20-25 years |
| Office buildings | 20-25 years |
| Fixtures and fittings | 7-15 years |
| Plant, equipment and machinery | 3-10 years |
| Aircraft | 10-15 years |
| Rolling stock | 4 years |
| Other property, plant and equipment | 3-10 years |
| Pre-owned assets | on a case-by-case basis |
The Company conducts an impairment test if an indication of loss of value has been detected. Indications of impairment come from significant long-term adverse changes that affect the economic environment or the assumptions or objectives used by the Company.
Intangible assets and property, plant and equipment are impaired by the Company when the net carrying amount exceeds their current value. The amount of impairment recognized in income is equal to the difference between the net carrying amount and current value. The current value of an asset is the higher of its market value (less selling costs) and its value in use.
The value in use of an asset is calculated using the discounted future cash flow method, with a post-tax discount rate of 8.4% (compared with 8.7% as of December 31, 2020) and a 2% long-term growth rate (unchanged from December 31, 2020). Post-tax cash flows are projected over a period not exceeding 5 years and the method takes into account a terminal value. These future cash flows result from the economic assumptions and projected operating conditions adopted by the Management.
Gross values are represented by the purchase cost excluding incidental charges, except in the case of those subject to the 1976 legal revaluation. An impairment is recognized when the book value is lower than the gross value. The book value is the higher of its market value and its value in use.
Dassault Aviation assesses the book value for listed investment securities based on the quotation for the reporting month and for non-listed securities, in the absence of any external valuation elements, according to the share in net assets.
Concerning the equity investment in Thales, when an impairment test is carried out, the operational and financial assumptions used come directly from data provided by Thales management.
Incoming raw materials, semi-finished and finished goods inventories are measured at acquisition cost for items purchased and production cost for items produced. Outgoing inventories are valued at the weighted average cost, except for used aircraft which are stated at acquisition cost. Work-in-progress is measured at production cost and does not include interest expense.
Inventories and work-in-progress are impaired when their net realizable value is less than their carrying amount.
Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs for completion and making the sale. It takes into account the technical or commercial obsolescence of articles and the risks associated with their low turnover.

Receivables are stated at nominal value. A provision is recognized when the recoverable value is lower than the carrying amount. The Company did not have to recognize any significant provisions, since its military trade receivables are represented by government customers and the vast majority of Falcon's sales are in cash.
Borrowings are recorded at the amount received. Transaction costs are posted to expenses for the year.
Regulated tax provisions appearing on the balance sheet include provisions for price increases and depreciation by derogation.
Within the framework of sales or procurement contracts, Dassault Aviation has formal obligations under sales or procurement contracts relating to the equipment, products and/or services (software development, systems integration, etc.) delivered.
These obligations can be distinguished between:
The amount of the provisions is mainly determined as follows:
A provision for remaining obligations of commitments to employees for retirement payments and related benefits is recorded. The commitments are estimated for all employees on the basis of vested rights and a projection of current salaries, after taking into account the mortality risk, employee turnover, and a discounting assumption. The rates used have been determined on the basis of the yield for top-ranking corporate longterm bonds, with maturity equivalent to the duration of the calculated liabilities.
Actuarial gains or losses, or those gains or losses that are analyzed as such, are fully recognized in operating income in the period during which they are incurred. The provision that appears in the balance sheet is the amount of the total commitment net of outsourced amounts.


The Company uses derivatives to hedge its exposure to the risk of changes in foreign exchange rates.
Exchange rate risks mainly arise from US dollar-denominated sales. The corresponding future cash flows are partially hedged using forward exchange contracts and currency options.
The Company reviewed the highly probable nature of the flows associated with financial instruments which qualify for hedge accounting and could find no evidence challenging this position at the end of December 2021.
The effects of the hedge, including the carrying forward/backwardation, are recorded at the rhythm of the hedged item and follow the same classification as the hedged item, i.e. the operating profit.
Premiums paid or received on the purchase or potential sale of options are recognized as income only at the expiration of these options, with the exception of the premiums relating to "zero premium" hedging strategies, which are immediately recognized as income to avoid temporary timing differences.
Hedging instruments that hedge balance sheet positions are accounted for in cash instruments.
Expenses and income in foreign currencies are recognized at their equivalent value in euros on the date of the payment or settlement transaction, with the exception of the net flows associated with global foreign exchange hedging, which are recorded at the hedge rate for the year.
Currency receivables and payables outstanding at year-end are revalued into euros at the closing rate of exchange.
When the application of the translation rate on the closing date has the effect of modifying the amounts in euros previously recognized, the currency translation differences are booked to transitory accounts:
An overall foreign exchange position is calculated by maturity of unhedged receivables and payables. When an overall foreign exchange position by maturity is an unrealized loss, a provision is set up for that risk.
Translation gains and losses arising on cash at bank and in hand as of December 31 are recognized on the income statement.
The results on completion are based on estimates of net sales and costs at completion (taking into account the program departments' forecasts). These are revised as the contracts progress and take into account the latest known events at the closing date. The potential losses on completion are recognized as soon as they are known.
Net sales and net income are recognized when Dassault Aviation has transferred the main risks and benefits of ownership to the buyer, and it is probable that the future economic benefits will benefit the Company.
As a general rule, net sales are recognized upon delivery of goods or development services. The corresponding costs are valued on the basis of net income at completion estimated in the contract. If the estimated costs are lower than the actual costs, the difference is classified as work-in-progress. If the estimated costs are higher than the actual costs, a provision for services and work still to be performed is recognized at closing.
$$\not\dashv\phi$$

Income from sales of services is recognized under the percentage of completion method according to the milestones set forth in contracts. Income or loss is recognized at each stage of completion if it can be reliably measured.
Contracts involving co-contractors for which Dassault Aviation is the only signatory are recognized for the entire amount of net sales and related expenses (including the co-contractors' share).
Unrealized capital gains on marketable securities are not recognized in the income statement until effectively realized. The tax charge relating to unrealized gains is recorded under prepayments until the gain is recognized in financial income.
This method, which constitutes an exception to the general principle of full recognition of deferred taxes, has been adopted to provide a fairer presentation of the Company's results.
Unrealized capital losses on marketable securities are subject to a provision.
The book value of treasury shares at year-end is determined by the average market price in the month before closing. If the market price is lower than the purchase value, an impairment is recorded, with the exception of securities being canceled or shares held for allotment under a defined plan.
The Company opted for the tax consolidation scheme in 1999, pursuant to Articles 223-A and following of the French General Tax Code. As of January 1, 2012, the tax consolidation scope of the Group includes Dassault Aviation, Dassault Aéro Service and Dassault Aviation Participations.
This tax consolidation arrangement is tacitly renewable per period of five fiscal years.
By agreement, it does not have an impact on the results of consolidated companies: tax liabilities are borne by the tax group companies as if no tax consolidation existed.

(1) provisions for retirement payments and related benefits:
Retirement payment commitments are calculated for all employees using the projected unit credit method. They are provisioned in full for the remaining obligations.
Employment projections are weighted using French insurance code mortality rates and the recorded employee turnover rate (this may vary according to age). The obligation depends on the employee's length of service at the end of the period relative to total career expectancy (see Note 1.2.8 of the valuation principles).
The calculation takes into account the following annual assumptions: salary increase of 3.89% and discount rate of 1.0%.
The application of the ANC 2013-02 recommendation dated on November 7, 2013 and updated on November 5, 2021, relative to the attribution of post-employment benefits to periods of service, had no material impact on the Company financial statements. The impacts were recorded to P&L.
As of December 31, 2021, the balance of the provision for long-service awards was EUR 3.4 million.
(2) provisions for warranties and other contract risks:
Provisions are updated to reflect changes to the fleet in service, deliveries during the period and contractual obligations induced by the execution of contracts.

Dassault Aviation is exposed to a foreign exchange risk on its Falcon sales that are almost all denominated in US dollars. This risk is partially hedged by using forward currency contracts and foreign exchange options.
The financial instruments held by Dassault Aviation are valued below at market value.
Market value represents the amounts received or paid in the event of total liquidation of the portfolio; the equivalent in euros is calculated on the basis of the closing US dollar/euro exchange rate. This is not representative of the actual gain/loss which will be recognized when the transactions are made.
The market value of the portfolio is therefore provided for information only. All derivatives subscribed by the Company are for hedging purposes. The subscribed options are derivatives with an optimization component without additional risk taking.

Year ended December 31, 2021
________
To the General Meeting of Dassault Aviation Company,
In compliance with the engagement entrusted to us by the annual General Meeting of Dassault Aviation, we have audited the accompanying financial statements of Dassault Aviation Company for the year ended December 31, 2021.
In our opinion, the financial statements give a true and fair view of the assets and liabilities and of the financial position of the Company as at December 31, 2021 and of the results of its operations for the year then ended in accordance with French accounting principles.
The audit opinion expressed above is consistent with our report to the Audit Committee.
We conducted our audit in accordance with professional standards applicable in France. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the "Statutory Auditors' Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements" section of our report.

We conducted our audit engagement in compliance with independence rules stipulated in the French Commercial Code and in the French Code of Ethics (Code de Déontologie) for statutory auditors, for the period from January 1, 2021 to the date of our report and specifically we did not provide any prohibited non-audit services referred to in Article 5 paragraph 1 of Regulation (EU) No 537/2014.
Without qualifying the opinion expressed above, we draw your attention on the impact of the first application of ANC 2013-02 recommendation amended on November 5, 2021 relative to the attribution of rights postemployment benefits described in note 14.2 to the annual financial statement.
Due to the global crisis related to the Covid-19 pandemic, the financial statements of this period have been prepared and audited under specific conditions. Indeed, this crisis and the exceptional measures taken in the context of the state of sanitary emergency have had numerous consequences for companies, particularly on their operations and their financing, and have led to greater uncertainties on their future prospects. Those measures, such as travel restrictions and remote working, have also had an impact on the companies' internal organization and the performance of the audits.
In this complex and changing context and in accordance with the requirements of Articles L. 823-9 and R. 823- 7 of the French Commercial Code (Code de commerce) relating to the justification of our assessments, we inform you of the key audit matters relating to risks of material misstatement taht, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements of the current period, as well as how we addressed those risks.
These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on specific items of the financial statements.

| Accounting for the result to be recognized on Defense contracts and related provisions (Notes 1.2 .8, 1.2.11, 14.2 and 20 to the annual financial statements) As described in note 1.2.11, the profit or loss at completion on Defense contracts, as well as any provision for losses on completion and provisions for risks and charges at the closing date depend on the |

| capacity of the entity: to measure the costs incurred on a contract, and to reliably estimate the costs yet to be incurred until the end of the contract. The estimates of the costs to be incurred are based on a program monitoring process ensured by the Programs Department and Finance Department under the control of the Executive Management. The estimates of profit or loss at completion of the contracts are updated at each closing date. Accounting for the result to be recognized of Defense contracts is seen as a key point of the audit because of the high level of judgment and of estimates required to determine the methods on the recognition of profit or loss at completion of contracts, and consequently, their potentially significant impact on consolidated profit and loss and equity. |
to be incurred forecasts with respect to contracts; conducting interviews with program monitoring managers and carry out tests on sampled documents for a selection of the contracts that contributed most to the results of the period, in order to: o confirm the performance of the contract benefits when the revenue is recognized upon completion; o test the costs incurred and thus corroborate the applied degree of progress when the revenue is gradually recognized; o appreciate the reasonability of significant assumptions used for the determination of results at completion and of provision for risks and charges, then test by sampling observed data and costs retained for the valuation of provisions as well as for the calculations made. reconciling the accounting data with their operational analytical monitoring for these contracts; verifying the correct analytical allocation of costs to contracts; For a selection of contracts, for which there was a significant change in the estimated results at completion compared with previous estimates, we sought to explain the origin of the changes observed in order to corroborate these with technical and operational justifications for the basis of our experience and interviews with the relevant management. |

| Valuation of warranty provisions | ||||
| (Note 1.2.8 and 14.2 to the annual financial statements) Dassault Aviation provides warranties for its aircraft deliveries against hardware or software defects and is required to remedy any regulatory non-compliance identified after the delivery of the necessary equipment. These warranties therefore constitute a commitment for Dassault Aviation. The costs of this commitment must be accrued upon delivery of the |
Based on discussions with the relevant operational departments, we took note of the procedures to identify the risks to be guaranteed and the procedures put in place to determine the costs and other data used as a basis for the valuation of provisions for guarantees. We also tested the functioning of key internal controls that we considered relevant to our audit. |

| airplane. The estimated amount of the provisions is based on the data and expenses recorded by airplane model and type of transactions taken as collateral and on estimated costs, in particular cost estimates for specialists, handling of malfunctions and regulatory non-compliance. Given the fleet in service and the variety of costs potentially incurred, warranty provisions are determined by complex models that involve the judgment of several Operational Departments. Management's valuation of these commitments caused Dassault Aviation to recognize warranty provisions of EUR 884 million as at December 31, 2021. |
In addition, our work consisted of: assessing the adequacy of the accruing methodology used by the Dassault Aviation's management and of the judgments exercised by it, assessing, through discussions with the relevant operational departments, the reasonableness of the assumptions used to determine provisions for guarantees, testing by sampling the observed data and costs used for the valuation of the provisions and the calculations made. |
|||
| The valuation of these provisions is a key point of the audit due to: the level of judgment required for their determination, the complexity of their valuation, their significant amount, and, consequently, the potentially significant impact on earnings and equity if their estimates vary. |

We have also performed, in accordance with professional standards applicable in France, the specific verifications required by French law.
We have no matters to report as to the fair presentation and the consistency with the financial statements of the information given in the management report of the Board of Directors and in the other documents provided to shareholders with respect to the financial position and the financial statements.
We attest the fair presentation and the consistency with the financial statements of the information relating to payment deadlines mentioned in Article D.441-6 of the French Commercial Code.
We attest that the Board of Directors report on corporate governance sets out the information required by Articles L. 225-37-4, L. 22-10-10 and L. 22-10-9 of the French Commercial Code.
Concerning the information given in accordance with the requirements of Article L. 22-10-9 of the French Commercial Code relating to remunerations and benefits received or attributed to the directors and any other commitments made in their favour, we have verified its consistency with the financial statements, or with the underlying information used to prepare these financial statements and, where applicable, with the information obtained by your Company from controlling and controlled companies. Based on this work, we attest the accuracy and fair presentation of this information.
Concerning the information related to factors that your company have considered as likely to have an impact in case of a public takeover or swap bid, given in accordance with the requirements of Article L.22-10-11 of the French Commercial Code, we have verified its conformity with the source documents which we were provided. Based on this work, we have no remarks to make on this information.
In accordance with French law, we have verified that the required information concerning the identity of the shareholders and holders of the voting rights has been properly disclosed in the management report.
We have also verified, in accordance with the professional standard applicable in France relating to the procedures performed by the statutory auditor relating to the annual and consolidated financial statements presented in European single electronic format, that the presentation of the financial statements intended to be included in the annual financial report mentioned in Article L.451-1-2, I of the French Monetary and Financial Code (Code monétaire et financier), prepared under the responsibility of the Group Managing Director, complies with the single electronic format defined in the European Delegated Regulation n° 2019/815 of 17 December 2018.
Based on the work we have performed, we conclude that the presentation of the financial statements intended to be included in the annual financial report complies, in all material respects, with the European single electronic format.
We have no responsibility to verify that the financial statements that will ultimately be included by your company in the annual financial report filed with the AMF are in agreement with those on which we have performed our work.

We were appointed as statutory auditors of Dassault Aviation Company by the General Meeting held on June 19, 1990 for cabinet Mazars and held on May 12, 2020 for cabinet PricewaterhouseCoopers Audit.
As at December 31, 2021, audit firm Mazars and audit firm PricewaterhouseCoopers Audit were in the 32nd year and 2nd of total uninterrupted engagement respectively.
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with French accounting principles, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless it is expected to liquidate the Company or to cease operations.
The Audit Committee is responsible for monitoring the financial reporting process and the effectiveness of internal control and risks management systems and where applicable, its internal audit, regarding the accounting and financial reporting procedures.
The financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors.
Our role is to issue a report on the financial statements. Our objective is to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with professional standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
As specified in Article L. 823-10-1 of the French Commercial Code, our statutory audit does not include assurance on the viability of the Company or the quality of management of the affairs of the Company.
As part of an audit conducted in accordance with professional standards applicable in France, the statutory auditor exercises professional judgment throughout the audit.
Furthermore:

We submit a report to the Audit Committee that includes in particular a description of the scope of the audit and the audit program implemented, as well as the results of our audit. We also report, if any, significant deficiencies in internal control regarding the accounting and financial reporting procedures that we have identified.
Our report to the Audit Committee includes the risks of material misstatement which, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and which are therefore the key audit matters that we are required to describe in this report.
We also provide the Audit Committee with the declaration provided for in Article 6 of Regulation (EU) N°537- 2014, confirming our independence within the meaning of the rules applicable in France such as they are set in particular by Articles L. 822-10 to L. 822-14 of the French Commercial Code and in the French Code of Ethics (Code de Déontologie) for statutory auditors. Where appropriate, we discuss with the Audit Committee the risks that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and the related safeguards.
