Commenting on the 2024 results, Jean-Charles Decaux, Chairman of the Executive Board and Co-CEO of JCDecaux, said:

"2024 was a very robust year for JCDecaux in a challenging macroeconomic environment with geopolitical uncertainties. Thanks to our unique and geographically well diversified global OOH media footprint, we are reporting a strong organic revenue growth of +9.7%, including a record performance in Q4 despite the lack of recovery in China which remains well below 2019. Digital Out-of-Home (DOOH), the fastest-growing media segment, grew by 21.9% with programmatic revenue growing by 45.6% and now represents 39% of our total revenue.

Leveraging on this strong revenue growth, all our financial indicators grew double digits. Our operating margin grew by +15.3%, our net income by +23.8%, to reach €258.9 million, combined with a solid free cash flow generation of €231.9 million. Given these solid results and our strong financial structure, we will be proposing a dividend payment of €0.55 per share at the AGM. Going forward, we intend to gradually increase this dividend while maintaining a balanced cash allocation with capex and bolt-on M&A.

With a solid business momentum in early 2025 we expect around +5% organic revenue growth in Q1. Going forward, building on this revenue momentum, we target for 2026 an operating margin rate above 20% and a free cash flow above €300 million."

Following the adoptions of IFRS 11 from January 1 st , 2014 and IFRS 16 from January 1 st , 2019, the alternative performance measures presented below are adjusted mainly to include our prorata share in companies under joint control, regarding IFRS 11, and to exclude the impact of IFRS 16 on our core business lease agreements (lease agreements of locations for advertising structures excluding real estate and vehicle rental contracts). Please refer to the paragraph "Alternative performance measures" on page 8 of this release for the definition of Alternative performance measures and reconciliation with IFRS in compliance with the AMF's instructions.

All the comments and numbers below refer to Alternative performance measures, except when indicated as IFRS figures.

The values shown in the tables are generally expressed in millions of euros. The sum of the rounded amounts or variations calculations may differ, albeit to an insignificant extent, from the reported values.

Revenue

Our 2024 group revenue(1)&(2) grew by +10.2%, +9.7% on an organic basis, to reach €3,935.3 million, with a balanced growth across all our geographies and activities. While digital grew strongly, analogue revenue was very robust, growing mid-single digit, despite the conversion of some premium sites to digital.

Our Q4 2024 performance was solid as OOH continued to gain market share in a context of economic and political uncertainties in some major markets. Our group revenue grew by +3.6% on an organic basis to reach a new record, above our expectations and above our Q3 performance despite the absence of major sporting events.

Among our top 10 advertising categories, 6 out of 10 grew double digits in 2024. Fashion / Personal Care & Luxury Goods continued to grow faster than the group average, while FMCG and TMT advertisers were the best performing sectors in 2024.

Digital revenue

In Digital Out of Home (DOOH), the fastest-growing media segment, our revenue grew by +21.9% in 2024, accounting for 39.0% of Group revenue and reaching 42.9% in Q4, a strong increase of nearly 5 percentage points compared to the previous year, while analogue advertising continued to grow despite the conversion of some premium analogue sites to digital. We continued to focus on the selective roll-out of digital screens in prime locations and the development of our data and programmatic capabilities.

Programmatic advertising revenues through the VIOOH SSP (supply-side platform), which include mostly incremental revenue from innovative dynamic data-driven campaigns and new advertisers, grew by +45.6% in 2024 to reach €145.9 million i.e. 9.5% of our digital revenue. The DOOH programmatic ecosystem continued to gain traction, with the dynamism and the growing number of DSPs (demand-side platforms) connected to VIOOH (the most connected SSP of the OOH media industry with 46 DSPs connected) now active in 24 countries, including Displayce a DSP connected in 80 countries.

Revenue by activities

All activities grew either high single digit or double digit organically in 2024. Street Furniture grew by +8.3%, including +4.6% in Q4, with continued strong momentum, Transport grew by +13.1%, including +3.5% in Q4, reflecting the solid growth in both airports and public transport systems and Billboard grew by +6.6% driven by its most digitised markets, including -0.1% in Q4.

Analysis of FY 2024 key financial figures

Our solid 2024 revenue momentum drove a significant increase across all our key financial aggregates.

Operating Margin (3)

Our operating margin demonstrated a good operating leverage as it increased +15.3% year-on-year including margin improvement across all segments to reach €764.5 million.

For the full-year of 2024, our operating margin has improved by €101.4 million to reach €764.5 million (vs €663.1 million in 2023), a +15.3% increase year-on-year, above the revenue growth. The operating margin as a percentage of revenue was 19.4%, +80bp above prior year, with all business segments improving their operating margin rates.

		2024	2023			CHANGE 24/23
Operati ng Margin	€m	% of revenue	€m	% of revenue	Change (€m)	Margin rate (bp)
Street Furnitu re	518.3	25.9%	474.2	25.8%	+44.1	+10bp
Transpo rt	155.8	11.2%	129.7	10.5%	+26.1	+70bp
Billboa rd	90.5	16.6%	59.3	11.9%	+31.2	+470bp
Total	764.5	19.4%	663.1	18.6%	+101.4	+80bp

• Street Furniture: In 2024, operating margin increased by €44.1 million to €518.3 million. As a percentage of revenue, the operating margin was 25.9%, an improvement limited to +10bp above prior year despite double-digit revenue growth, due to 2023 benefitting from one-off positive impacts from contract renegotiations.
• Transport: In 2024, operating margin increased by €26.1 million to €155.8 million. As a percentage of revenue, the operating

margin was 11.2%, +70bp above prior year despite a lack of recovery in China, the dilutive impact of the start of some new contracts and the lower level of rent abatements compared to 2023.

• Billboard: In 2024, operating margin increased by €31.2 million to €90.5 million. As a percentage of revenue, the operating margin was 16.6%, +470bp above prior year, primarily due to revenue growth from the most digitised countries and the first positive effects of the rationalisation plan implemented in France.

EBIT (4)

Our EBIT grew by +44.8%, +€126,5 million, to reach €408.7 million, mainly driven by the growth of our operating margin (+€101.4 million) and the capital gain from the sale of part of our stake in APG|SGA (€45.0 million). Excluding this transaction, our EBIT margin, before impairment, reached 9.0% of revenue, +150bp vs 2023.

All activities improved their EBIT margin rates, driven by the improvement of the operating margin rates: +10bp in Street Furniture, +220bp for Transport and +590bp for Billboard, before impairment. Including the capital gain on the sale of APG|SGA shares, the Group EBIT rate reached 10.2%, a 270bp year-on-year increase.

The net impairment on tangible and intangible assets was a positive impact of €8.4 million in 2024 (vs +€16.0 million in 2023 – mainly related to the reversal in 2023 of the provision for onerous contracts recognised on the Guangzhou metro contract at the end of 2022). EBIT, after impairment charge, has improved by €126.5 million from €282.2 million in 2023 to €408.7 million in 2024.

Net Financial Income / Charge, IFRS (5)

In 2024, net financial result amounted to -€136.4 million, including - €75.3 million financial interests on IFRS 16 lease liabilities and - €61.1 million other net financial charges, improving by €10.9 million vs 2023.

The financial interests relating to IFRS 16 liabilities improved by €8.5 million thanks to the reduction of the IFRS 16 liabilities from €2.7 billion as of December 31st 2023 to €2.3 billion as of December 31st 2024.

Other net financial charges of -€61.1 million, includes net financial interest at -€32.7 million, which are stable year-on-year. They also include -€28.3 million of various financial costs, including a -€22.6 million impairment loss on a loan in China, offset by favourable impacts from discount and FX effects, reducing these costs by €2.2 million.

Equity Affiliates, IFRS

In 2024, the share of net profit from equity affiliates was €45.8 million compared to €52.0 million in 2023, a decrease of €6.2 million due to a €5.9 million impairment charge on our minority stake in Clear Media due to the situation in China and to a reduction in the contribution from APG|SGA following the decrease in our stake from 30% to 16.44%. These were partially offset by improved contributions from our other equity affiliates.

Net Income Group Share, IFRS

Our net income rose strongly by +23.8% to reach €258.9 million, up 36.8% to €281.5 million before impairment, an improvement driven by a solid operational performance and the capital gain from the APG|SGA transaction. Excluding non-recurring items such as the capital gain on APG|SGA, the net income group share increased also by 38% year-on-year.

Capital Expenditure

In 2024, net capex (acquisition of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, net of disposals of assets) were at €324.2 million, i.e. contained at 8.2% of revenue, with digital representing 41.8% of the total net capex.

Free Cash Flow (6)

Our free cash flow generation has been solid in 2024, reaching €231.9 million, an increase of €232.8 million compared to 2023. This growth comes from improved operational performance and, above all, normalization of working capital requirements and capex levels after in 2023 the payments of rental arrears in relation with some contract renegotiations and the last payments for Shanghai Metro intangible capex for €27 million. The change in working capital requirements had a positive impact of €25.5 million on the cash generation during the period, despite the double-digit revenue growth, mainly thanks to an effective cash collection management.

Net Debt (7)

Our financial structure is very solid with a c.25% decrease in net debt in 2024, bringing it down to €756.3 million, less than one time our 2024 operating margin.

Our financial net debt reduced by nearly €250 million, mainly thanks to the free cash flow generated over the period. Financial investments represent in 2024 an inflow of €37.7 million, due to the proceeds from the APG|SGA transaction for €87.6 million, which were partly used for the M&A transactions of the year.

This net debt includes a strong liquidity with nearly €1.3 billion in cash and €825 million in confirmed revolving credit line, undrawn, with a maturity in mid-2026, and a well-secured debt profile with bond maturities largely covered by available cash until 2028 as well as an optimised management of our liquidity allowing relatively stable net financial expenses over the period.

Dividend

At the next Annual General Meeting of Shareholders on May 14th , 2025, the Supervisory Board will recommend the payment of a dividend of €0.55 per share for the 2024 financial year.

Going forward, we intend to gradually increase this dividend while maintaining a balanced cash allocation with capex and bolt-on M&A.

Right-of-use & lease liabilities, IFRS 16

Right-of-use IFRS 16 as of December 31st, 2024 amounted to €1,954.7 million compared to €2,230.1 million as of December 31st, 2023, a decrease of €275.4 million related to the amortisation of right-of-use, renegotiations and terminations of contracts partially offset by new contracts, contract renewals, updates of minima guaranteed and a positive impact of foreign exchange rate and changes in scope.

IFRS 16 lease liabilities decreased by €319.7 million from €2,657.0 million as of December 31st, 2023, to €2,337.3 million as of December 31st, 2024. The decrease, mainly related to repayments of lease liabilities and to renegotiations and terminations of contracts is partly offset by new contracts, contract renewals, updates of minima guaranteed and a positive impact from foreign exchange rates and changes in scope.

ESG performance

We have confirmed once again the excellence of our ESG performance, recognised as best-in-class by extra-financial rating agencies including our placement on the CDP A List for the second year in a row and the Gold Medal status from EcoVadis.

Our business model is virtuous to meet climate challenges, as illustrated by its high share of revenue, nearly 50%, aligned with the Green Taxonomy European regulation. Our climate trajectory aiming to achieve Net Zero Carbon by 2050 was approved by the SBTi in June 2024. Thanks to our continued environmental actions, the Group has reduced its greenhouse gas emissions (scopes 1, 2, 3 – market based) by nearly 30% in 2024 compared to 2019.

Outlook

With a solid business momentum in early 2025, we expect around +5% organic revenue growth in Q1.

Going forward, building on this revenue momentum, we target for 2026 an operating margin rate above 20% and a free cash flow above €300 million.

Alternative performance measures

Under IFRS 11, applicable from January 1 st , 2014, companies under joint control are accounted for using the equity method.

Under IFRS 16, applicable from January 1 st , 2019, a lease liability for contractual fixed rental payments is recognised on the balance sheet, against a right-of-use asset to be depreciated over the lease term. As regards P&L, the fixed rent expense is replaced by the depreciation of the right-of-use in EBIT, below the operating margin, and a lease interest expense on the lease liability in financial result, below EBIT. IFRS 16 has no impact on cash payments, but payment of debt (principal) is booked in funds from financing activities.

However, in order to reflect the business reality of the Group and the readability of our performance, our operating management reports used to monitor the activity, allocate resources and measure performance continue:

· To integrate on proportional basis operating data of the companies under joint control and;

· To exclude the IFRS 16 impact on our core business (lease agreements of locations for advertising structures excluding real estate and vehicle rental contracts).

As regards the P&L, it concerns all aggregates down to the EBIT. As regards the cash flow statement, it concerns all aggregates down to the free cash flow.

Consequently, pursuant to IFRS 8, Segment Reporting presented in the financial statements complies with the Group's internal information, and the Group's external financial communication therefore relies on this operating financial information. Financial information and comments are therefore based on these alternative performance measures, consistent with historical data, which is reconciled with IFRS financial statements.

In 2024, the impacts of IFRS 11 and IFRS 16 on our alternative performance measures are:

· -€302.7 million for IFRS 11 on revenue (-€274.1 million for IFRS 11 in 2023) leaving IFRS revenue at €3,632.6 million (€3,295.9 million in 2023).

· -€71.9 million for IFRS 11 and €603.8 million for IFRS 16 on operating margin

(-€68.0 million for IFRS 11 and €665.1 million for IFRS 16 in 2023) leaving IFRS operating margin at €1,296.3 million (€1,260.3 million in 2023).

· -€55.3 million for IFRS 11 and €95.6 million for IFRS 16 on EBIT before impairment charge (-€56.6 million for IFRS 11 and €145.2 million for IFRS 16 in 2023) leaving IFRS EBIT before impairment charge at €440.6 million (€354.8 million in 2023).

· -€55.3 million for IFRS 11 and €95.0 million for IFRS 16 on EBIT after impairment charge (-€56.6 million for IFRS 11 and €144.5 million for IFRS 16 in 2023) leaving IFRS EBIT after impairment charge at €448.4 million (€370.1 million in 2023).

· €30.4 million for IFRS 11 on capital expenditure (€17.9 million for IFRS 11 in 2023) leaving IFRS capital expenditure at - €293.8 million (-€337.2 million in 2023).

· €3.8 million for IFRS 11 and €600.8 million for IFRS 16 on free cash flow (€2.4 million for IFRS 11 and €762.5 million for IFRS 16 in 2023) leaving IFRS free cash flow at €836.5 million (€764.1 million in 2023).

Definitions notes

(1) Revenue: It includes on proportional basis the revenue of the companies under joint control.

(2) Organic growth: The Group's organic growth corresponds to the adjusted revenue growth excluding foreign exchange impact and perimeter effect. The reference fiscal year remains unchanged regarding the reported figures, and the organic growth is calculated by converting the revenue of the current fiscal year at the average exchange rates of the previous year and taking into account the perimeter variations prorata temporis, but including revenue variations from the gains of new contracts and the losses of contracts previously held in our portfolio.

(3) Operating Margin: Revenue less Direct Operating Expenses (excluding Maintenance spare parts) less SG&A expenses. It includes on proportional basis the data of the companies under joint control and excludes the IFRS16 impact on our core business (lease agreements of location for advertising structures excluding real estate and vehicle rental contracts).

(4) EBIT: Earnings Before Interests and Taxes = Operating Margin less Depreciation, amortisation and provisions (net) less Impairment of goodwill less Maintenance spare parts less Other operating income and expenses. It includes on proportional basis the data of the companies under joint control and excludes the IFRS16 impact on our core business (lease agreements of location for advertising structures excluding real estate and vehicle rental contracts).

(5) Net financial income / charge: Excluding the net impact of discounting and revaluation of debt on commitments to purchase minority interests (-€8.3 million and -€2.7 million in 2024 and 2023 respectively).

(6) Free cash flow: Net cash flow from operating activities less capital investments (property, plant and equipment and intangible assets) net of disposals. It includes on proportional basis the data of the companies under joint control and excludes the IFRS16 impact on our core business (lease agreements of location for advertising structures) and non-core business (real estate and vehicle rental contracts).

(7) Net debt: Debt net of managed cash less bank overdrafts, excluding the non-cash IAS 32 impact (debt on commitments to purchase minority interests), including the non-cash IFRS 9 impact on both debt and hedging financial derivatives, and excluding IFRS 16 lease liabilities.

Risk factors

The Group faces a number of internal and external risks that may affect its business, its financial position or whether it achieves its objectives.

In accordance with the European Regulation of 14 June 2017, the Group ranks each of the risks identified as specific and material, and then groups them into 6 major risk categories.

As part of its 2024 risk review, the Group has identified 119 risks. The main ones are detailed in the following chapters. The most significant risks are presented in the chart below:

The procedures implemented within the Group for risk management are presented in the Universal Registration Document.

Risks related to the Group's business

Category: Risk of Fraud, Corruption, Collusion

In this category, the Group has identified risks relating to business ethics at various stages of the value chain: in relations with its customers (advertisers, agencies, etc.), with its contracting authorities (cities, local authorities, transport management companies, etc.) or with its suppliers. The risk related to non-responsible tax practices is also included in this category.

The main risk relating to this family is an ESG risk: this is the risk related to business ethics and the fight against corruption.

RISK FACTOR	IMPACT	LIKELIHOOD	NET RISK ASSESSMENT
CORRUPTION FRAUD COLLUSION RISKS
Risk related to business ethics and anti-corruption (ESG)	***	**	*

Risk presentation

The Group's activity is closely linked to the quality and integrity of relations with contracting authorities (cities, local authorities, transport management companies, etc.). Its reputation and its history of integrity are essential elements in its business, and helps them access various public and private contracts.

Ethical business conduct is also a key factor in preserving longterm relationships with the Group's advertisers and partners, and in maintaining its reputation for excellence in the market.

JCDecaux is also particularly vigilant in respect of business ethics when making acquisitions, particularly in countries deemed sensitive in terms of corruption.

Risk management

In 2001, the Group published a Code of Ethics setting out the principles and ethical rules to be followed in conducting the Group's business.

The Code was reviewed in 2018, as part of the implementation of the Sapin II Law in France, and is communicated to all the Group's companies and employees.

The Code of Ethics, its method of distribution and the Ethics and CSR Committee that oversees its proper implementation, are presented in the Universal Registration Document.

Information on the monitoring and management of risks related to business ethics and the fight against corruption is available in the Universal Registration Document.

Category: Risks of compliance with laws and regulations

Several major risks within this category are ESG risks:

RISK FACTOR	IMPACT	LIKELIHOOD	NET RISK ASSESSMENT
RISKS OF COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS AND REGULATIONS
Risk related to non-compliance with human rights/employees (ESG)	***	**	*
Risks related to the non-compliance with human rights/suppliers (ESG)	***	**	*
Risk related to personal data protection and non-respect of personal privacy (ESG)	***	**	*

RISK RELATED TO NON-RESPECT FOR HUMAN RIGHTS/EMPLOYEES (ESG)

Risk presentation

The JCDecaux Group is present in more than 80 countries and 21.1% of the Group's FTEs are located in countries that have not ratified all of the Fundamental Conventions of the International Labour Organization. However, all Group employees must benefit from the respect of their fundamental human rights, as set out in the JCDecaux International Charter of Fundamental Social Values.

RISK RELATED TO NON-RESPECT OF HUMAN RIGHTS/SUPPLIERS (ESG)

Risk presentation

Suppliers are at the heart of the Group's quality processes. JCDecaux has chosen to entrust the production of its products and solutions to trusted third parties. Some of these suppliers are located in countries that have not ratified all the Fundamental Conventions of the International Labour Organization. However, JCDecaux asks its key suppliers and new suppliers to comply with these international standards through its Supplier Code of Conduct, of which it requires ratification.

RISK RELATED TO PERSONAL DATA PROTECTION AND NON-RESPECT OF PERSONAL PRIVACY (ESG)

Risk presentation

As part of and for the purposes of its various activities, JCDecaux Group companies are required to process personal data. This data concerns both persons outside the company, in particular that of the individual contacts of third parties with whom they have commercial relations (customers, service providers, suppliers, lessors, order givers, etc.), and users of self-service bicycle services or job candidates and, in their capacity as an employer, of their employees and other staff members. JCDecaux guarantees the privacy and personal data protection of every stakeholder concerned, and ensures that they can exercise their rights in accordance with applicable regulations.

Risk management

All information concerning the monitoring and management of human rights risks is available in the Universal Registration Document.

Risk management

Information on the monitoring and management of these risks is available in the Universal Registration Document including the action plans currently in place.

Risk management

In order to reduce the risk associated with non-responsible processing or data breaches, JCDecaux has set up a dedicated system:

• a specific governance structure has been put in place: creation of a "GDPR" steering committee, appointment of a Data Protection Officer (DPO) or Privacy Manager at each subsidiary located within the EU, involvement of the Legal Department in each non-EU country;
• Group policies and procedures dedicated to the personal data protection have been published and implemented across all the entities;
• training initiatives (digital learning) have been carried out to raise awareness of these issues among all personnel;
• in order to ensure the security of the Information Systems, a Chief Information Security Officer, assisted by a network of regional correspondents and Information Security Managers present in each of the Group's countries, implements JCDecaux's IT Security Policy.

Information on the monitoring and management of these risks is available in the Universal Registration Document.

Category: Financial risks

As a result of its business, the Group may be exposed to varying degrees of financial risks (especially liquidity and financing risk, interest rate risk, foreign exchange rate risk and risks related to financial management, in particular counterparty risk). Information on financial risks is available in the "Notes to the consolidated financial statements" part of this document.

The 2 main risks identified in this family are as follows:

RISK FACTOR	IMPACT	LIKELIHOOD	NET RISK ASSESSMENT
FINANCIAL RISKS
Market risk related to the economic environment	***	***	***
Financing risk (including liquidity and interest rates)	**	**	*

RISK RELATED TO THE ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT

Risk presentation

In the event of a worldwide recession, the advertising and communications sector is quite susceptible to business fluctuations as many advertisers may cut their advertising budgets.

The economic crisis following the Covid-19 health crisis is a perfect illustration of this risk of a sudden and unpredictable downturn in the markets.

The Group must also deal with the cyclical nature of the advertising market. Our business sector is closely linked to changes in the GDP of the countries in which the Group operates. A significant increase or downturn in the economic activity of a country may substantially impact the Group's business and revenue.

FINANCING RISK

Risk presentation

The Group is exposed to various financial risks, in particular liquidity and financing risks. The Group's objective is to minimise such risks by choosing appropriate financial policies.

Risk management

The Group's operations in geographically diverse markets minimise the impact of a possible across-the-board decline in the sector, since reactions are disparate and occur at different times on markets in the various countries where it operates. The breakdown of revenue by geographical area is presented in the Universal Registration Document.

The Group management and its Finance Department are particularly attentive to cost structures, and adopt action plans to maintain the Group's profitability.

Risk management

Information on the monitoring and management of these risks is available on p. 74 of this document.

Category: Strategic risks

Through its activity, the Group may be confronted with several strategic risks: the ability to address changes in the business model or a sudden drop in audiences are among them. The main risks of this family are as follows:

RISK FACTOR	IMPACT	LIKELIHOOD	NET RISK ASSESSMENT
STRATEGIC RISKS
Risk related to the increase in regulatory measures to reduce advertising	***	**	**
Risk of IT attacks on key business systems	***	***	**
Risk of online hacking of furniture and dissemination of inappropriate content (ESG)	***	**	*

RISK RELATED TO THE INCREASE IN REGULATORY MEASURES TO REDUCE ADVERTISING

Risk presentation

As a rule, the OOH industry is subject to significant government regulation at both the national and local level in the majority of countries where the Group operates, relating to the type (analogue/ digital display), luminosity, density, size and location of billboards and Street furniture in urban and other areas, but also with regard to the content of authorised visuals.

Local regulations, however, are generally moving in the direction of reducing the total number of advertising spaces, and/or reducing their size, and local authorities are becoming stricter in applying existing law and regulations. Some advertising spaces, particularly billboards, could therefore have to be removed or relocated in certain countries in the future.

Risk management

In France, where regulatory pressure is strong and long-standing (notably via the Local Advertising Regulations which regulate outdoor facilities), JCDecaux has a dedicated organisation and skills (via the Institutional Relations Department, the Regulatory Coordination Department and a Public Affairs Unit composed of specialised lawyers) to oversee the application of regulations and monitor any changes in them, in order to anticipate and better manage this risk.

RISK OF IT ATTACKS ON KEY BUSINESS SYSTEMS

Risk presentation

The Group uses complex information systems to support its commercial, industrial and management activities. The main risks are related to the integrity and maintenance of the operational capacity of these systems.

Risk management

The Group's information systems are protected at several levels: data centres are secured, access to software is controlled and billboard systems are audited. This protection concerns, in particular, the IT platform responsible for preparing and distributing digital advertising campaigns. This platform is based on a private network and is operated by JCDecaux teams in accordance with strict end-to-end access control and audit rules. It is monitored 24/7 in order to detect and then process any operating anomalies in real time.

In our other regions, we have not identified any similar pressure at this stage requiring the implementation of an organisation similar to the one present in France.

In addition, with regard to the environment, which is the main subject of legislative proposals, the Group has taken numerous measures for several years. JCDecaux is the only company in the OOH sector in the world to have joined the RE 100 in 2019 (international coalition of companies committed to the 100% renewable energy objective). In 2024, JCDecaux was referenced in the A List of the prestigious CDP (Carbon Disclosure Project), thus maintaining the Group's position at "Leadership Level". The Group was also awarded Gold status by EcoVadis and referenced in the FTSE4Good index and the MSCI ranking.

To reduce its carbon footprint and address the risks of climate change, JCDecaux has defined an ambitious Group-wide Climate Strategy, aligned with the goals of the Paris Agreement and targeting Net Zero Carbon by 2050. To do this, in 2024, JCDecaux embarked on a Science-Based Targets (SBTi) trajectory with absolute emissions reduction targets in the short and long term.

In a proactive approach, JCDecaux wanted to strengthen the application of the TCFD recommendations (Taskforce on Climaterelated Financial Disclosures) in 2024, by carrying out a risk analysis that takes into account different climate scenarios.

More information is available in the Universal Registration Document.

In addition, business recovery plans to ensure the continuity of the Group's operations are tested several times a year. In addition, in order to continuously improve the security of IT systems and limit the consequences of any malfunctions on the Group's business lines, the various risks (disaster affecting data centres, failure of equipment or telecommunication resources, breaches of safety rules, human error, etc.) are regularly assessed. These assessments give rise to the reinforcement of existing means and/ or the development of new protection systems to help combat intrusion attempts, the disclosure of confidential information, the loss or alteration of data, traceability, etc.

Finally, the Group has supplemented its IT policy by taking out a Cyber Enterprise Risk Management insurance policy with a leading insurance company to cover the financial consequences of a breach of the IT systems and personal or confidential data held and managed by the Group.

RISK OF ONLINE HACKING OF STREET FURNITURE AND DISSEMINATION OF INAPPROPRIATE CONTENT (ESG)

Risk presentation

JCDecaux distributes digital campaigns in 68 countries through more than 245,000 advertising panels. Any external or internal attempt to access the digital screens of the Group's street furniture in order to advertise uncontrolled messages is a major risk, which could affect its results, reputation and its ability to provide a credible digital offering to advertisers. The main risks identified include vandalism or service disruptions. The more offensive and harmful the messages disseminated, the more serious the impacts will be.

Risk management

JCDecaux has implemented a comprehensive IT policy in place for several years to protect itself against the risk of attempts to hack its

Category: Operating & HR Risks

In this category, the Group has identified the operating risks related to these various activities (in particular when selling advertising spaces or during bill-posting, cleaning and maintenance activities). This category deals in particular with risks related to the development of human capital, the risk of harassment or the risk of losing a key employee of the Company.

The two main risks relating to this family are two ESG risks.

Risk related to the capacity for attracting and retaining talent (ESG)	***	***	**

HEALTH & SAFETY OF EMPLOYEES AND SUBCONTRACTORS

Risk presentation

As a Company posting advertising displays and supplying furniture supports, JCDecaux is a field employer, particularly in urban environments. This is why occupational health and safety constitutes one of JCDecaux's main priorities in the social aspect of its activity. More specifically, operational and field staff, which represented approximately 50% of the Group's total workforce in 2024, are the most exposed to the risk of accidents and incidents. Their activities may include working at height, using electricity or working within close proximity of electrical equipment, driving on roads or working close to roads or railways, and working in places with high public density.

ATTRACTION AND RETENTION OF TALENT

Risk presentation

In a general context of a shortage of candidates, JCDecaux must be attractive on the job market to attract new talent on the one hand, and competitive as an employer to ensure their retention on the other. To this end, the Group strives not only to create working conditions that are conducive to the fulfilment and achievement of the ambitions of each of its employees but also to gain visibility and notoriety and to make itself desirable on the job market by strengthening its employer brand. Since 2022, "Attraction and retention of talent" has been identified as a major risk. In 2023, JCDecaux formalised a Group-wide social policy.

digital content. A robust IT security policy has been put in place under the corporate responsibility of the Infrastructure Department which reports to the Group's Director of Information Systems and ultimately to the Chief Financial, IT and Administration Officer. This includes the deployment of management principles at Group level and applicable in all countries, 24/7 monitoring and surveillance tools, notably via an SOC of operating procedures and guides, control systems (audits, vulnerability tests, etc.) and cybersecurity monitoring work to ensure coverage of all identified risks. In 2024, JCDecaux obtained ISO 27001 certification for the digital delivery system, demonstrating the Group's continued commitment to

RISK OF NATURAL OR SOCIAL DISASTER (INCLUDING PANDEMIC)

Risk presentation

Natural catastrophe and pandemic risks include many challenges covered by several mapping risks:

• General issues:
  • Risk related to the deterioration of the economic environment
  • Risk related to the decline in urban audiences and in the means of transport
• Operational challenges:
  • Risk related to unavailability/restrictions on access to company premises or facilities
  • Risk related to the implementation of new working conditions and associated safety issues
• Human issues:
  • Risk related to events that could endanger the health of employees
  • Risk related to the inability to manage psychological risks and ensure the well-being of teams.
• Financial challenges:
  • Risk related to the default of key customers
  • Risk of liquidity shortage

Focus on Climate risks

Climate risks represent both transition risks and physical risks related to climate change.

The transition to a low-carbon economy may require significant policy, legal, technological and business changes to address

The Group considers that this presentation covers the main significant risks.

climate change mitigation and adaptation requirements. Depending on the nature, speed and direction of these changes, transition risks may pose varying levels of financial and reputational risks to organizations.

Physical risks resulting from climate change may be related to (acute) events or longer-term (chronic) changes in weather patterns. Physical risks can have financial implications for organisations, such as direct damage to their assets or indirect impacts due to supply chain disruption. The financial performance of organisations may also be affected by changes in water availability, supply and quality, food safety and extreme temperature events affecting premises, operations, supply chain, transportation needs and employee safety.

Climate change is therefore a major challenge in adapting JCDecaux's activities and operations in the more than 80 countries where it operates, with physical and transition risks at different levels of exposure and severity throughout its value chain: access to resources, increase in energy costs, pressure from regulators and other stakeholders (customers, employees, partners, users, civil society, etc.).

Risk management

As this risk covers several risks covered by the mapping, the information concerning the management and monitoring of these risks is described and referenced in the preceding paragraphs as well as in the chapter Adapting to climate change.of the Universal Registration Document.

Risks deemed insignificant but presented in accordance with Article 173 of the Energy Transition Act of 17 August 2015 are described in the Sustainable Development chapter of the URD.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. ACCOUNTING METHODS AND PRINCIPLES

1.1. General principles

The JCDecaux SE consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024 include JCDecaux SE and its subsidiaries (hereinafter referred to as the "Group") and the share of the Group's equity in associates and joint ventures.

Pursuant to European Regulation No. 1606/2002 of 19 July 2002, the 2024 consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with IFRS, as adopted by the European Union. They were approved by the Executive Board and authorised for release by the Supervisory Board on 4 March 2025. These financial statements shall only be considered final upon approval by the General Meeting of Shareholders.

The values shown in the tables are generally expressed in millions of euros. The sum of the rounded amounts may differ, albeit insignificantly, from the reported values.

The principles used for the preparation of these financial statements are based on:

• All standards and interpretations adopted by the European Union and in force as of 31 December 2024. These are available on the European Commission website. Moreover, these principles are the same as the IFRS published by the IASB;
• Accounting treatments adopted by the Group when no guidance is provided by current standards.

The accounting policies adopted are identical to those used for the preparation of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2023, with the exception of the adoption of the following amendments to standards and interpretations adopted by the European Union and applicable from 1 January 2024:

• Amendments to IAS 1: Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current and Non-current Liabilities with Covenants;
• Amendment to IFRS 16: Lease Liability in a Sale and Leaseback;
• Amendments to IAS 7 and IFRS 7: Supplier Finance Arrangements;
• IFRS IC decision of July 2024 on Disclosure of Revenues and Expenses for Reportable Segments (IFRS 8 Operating Segments).

The application of these amendments, interpretations and standards has had no significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.

The rules of Pillar 2 relating to the introduction of a minimum tax payable by multinationals were adopted by a European Union directive applicable from 1 January 2024, its transposition in France being carried out via the 2024 Finance Act voted at the end of December 2023. In addition, the amendments to IAS 12 adopted by the European Union on 8 November 2023 confirm the exemption from the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities in respect of the difference between income taxes and additional taxes due under Pillar 2.

The work carried out to identify the countries concerned by an additional Pillar 2 tax and the impacts of the application of this new standard on the Group's financial statements were determined with data at the end of December 2024. Based on this work, the Group has recognized a non-significant additional tax expense in the 2024 annual consolidated financial statements.

In the absence of specific IFRS provisions on the accounting treatment of debts on commitments to purchase non-controlling interests, the accounting principles used in the previous consolidated financial statements have been maintained and are explained in Note 1.19 "Commitments to purchase non-controlling interests". In particular, subsequent revaluation and discounting effects of the debt arising from such commitments are recognised in net financial income and allocated to non-controlling interests in the income statement, with no impact on the net income Group share.

In addition, the Group has opted not to apply in advance the new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations adopted by the European Union when their application became mandatory only after 31 December 2024.

1.2. Scope and methods of consolidation

The financial statements of companies controlled by the Group are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date on which control is acquired to the date at which control ends.

The equity method is adopted for joint ventures and for associates, companies over which the Group exercises a significant influence on operating and financial policies.

All transactions between fully-consolidated Group companies are eliminated upon consolidation.

Inter-company results are also eliminated. Capital gains or losses on inter-company sales carried out by a company consolidated under the equity method are eliminated up to the percentage of ownership and offset against the value of the assets sold. Capital losses realised on inter-company sales to an equity-accounted company are governed by IFRS3R and capital gains realised on sales to an equity-accounted company fall under SIC13.

Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency of the entity at the rate prevailing on the transaction date. At the end of the period, monetary items are translated at the closing exchange rate and the resulting gains or losses are recorded in the income statement.

Long-term monetary assets held by a Group entity on a foreign subsidiary for which settlement is neither planned nor likely to occur in the foreseeable future are a part of the entity's net investment in a foreign operation. Accordingly, pursuant to IAS 21 "The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates", exchange differences on these items are recorded in other comprehensive income until the investment's disposal or disqualification. Otherwise, exchange differences are recorded in the income statement.

1.4. Translation of subsidiaries' financial statements

The Group's consolidated financial statements are prepared in euros, the presentation and functional currency of the parent company.

Assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries are translated into the Group's presentation currency at the closing exchange rate, and the corresponding income statement is translated at the average exchange rate for the period. Resulting translation adjustments are directly allocated to other comprehensive income.

At the time of a total or partial disposal, with loss of control, the liquidation of a foreign entity, or a step acquisition giving control, translation adjustments accumulated in equity are reclassified in the income statement.

1.5. Use of estimates

Under the process of preparing the consolidated financial statements, the valuation of some assets and liabilities requires the use of judgments, assumptions and estimates. This primarily involves the determination of the amount of lease liabilities and right-of-use, the valuation of goodwill, the determination of intangible assets in the context of acquisition of subsidiaries, the valuation of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, the valuation of investments under the equity method, determining the amount of provisions for employee benefits, provisions for dismantling, provisions for onerous contracts, provisions for risks and litigation and the valuation of commitments on securities. These judgments, assumptions and estimates are based on information available or situations existing at the financial statement's date of preparation (particularly the economic situation in the countries where the Group operates, inflation, energy costs and the evolution of regulations on outdoor advertising), which in the future could differ from reality, creating growing uncertainties over the future outlook.

Valuation methods are described in more detail, mainly in Note 1.8 "Business combinations, acquisition of non-controlling interests and disposals", in Note 1.10 "Impairment of intangible assets, property, plant and equipment, right-of-use and goodwill", in Note 1.11 "Leases", in Note 1.12 "Investments under the equity method", in Note 1.20 "Provisions for retirement and other long-term benefits", in Note 1.21 "Dismantling provisions" and in Note 4.13.3 " Provisions for risks and litigation".

The results of sensitivity tests are provided in Note 4.4 "Goodwill, Property, plant and equipment (PP&E), intangible asset and rightof-use impairment tests" for the valuation of goodwill, property, plant and equipment, intangible assets and right-of-use, in Note 4.5 "Investments under the equity method and impairment tests" for the valuation of investments under the equity method, in Note 4.13 "Provisions" for the valuation of dismantling provisions and provisions for employee benefits, in Note 4.20 "Financial assets and liabilities by category" for the valuation of debt on commitments to purchase non-controlling interests and in Note 5.2 "Net operating expenses" for the sensitivity of variable rent and fees to changes in revenue.

Furthermore, the risks and commitments related to climate change have been taken into account by the Group in determining the estimates, notably regarding the amount of investments required to reduce its carbon footprint in relation to its activities and the billboards installed by the Group.

1.6. Current/non-current distinction

With the exception of deferred tax assets and liabilities which are classified as non-current, assets and liabilities are classified as current when their recoverability or payment is expected no later than 12 months after the year-end closing date.

Otherwise, they are classified as non-current.

1.7. Intangible assets

1.7.1. Development costs

According to IAS 38, development costs must be capitalised as intangible assets if the Group can demonstrate:

• Its intention, and financial and technical ability, to complete the development project;
• The existence of probable future economic benefits for the Group;
• The high probability of success for the Group;
• And that the cost of the asset can be measured reliably.

Development costs capitalised in the statement of financial position include costs related to the development of, or modification or improvement to, the array of street furniture product lines and advertising structures in connection with contract proposals with a strong likelihood of success. Development costs also include the design and construction of models and prototypes.

The Group considers that it is legitimate to capitalise costs for the preparation of bids in response to calls for tender. Given the nature of the costs incurred (design and construction of models and prototypes) and the statistical success rate of the JCDecaux Group in its responses to tenders, the Group believes that these costs constitute development activities that can be capitalised under the aforementioned criteria. Indeed, said costs are directly related to a given contract and are incurred to win it. Amortisation, spread out over the term of the contract, begins when the project is awarded. Should the bid be lost, the amount capitalised is expensed.

Development costs carried in assets are recognised at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses.

1.7.2. Other intangible assets

Other intangible assets primarily involve Street furniture, Billboard and Transport contracts recognised in business combinations, which are amortised over a period corresponding to the time necessary for the cumulative discounted flows used for the valuation of the assets to cover almost all the assets. They also include upfront payments, amortised over the term of the contract, and software. Only individualised and clearly identified software (ERP in particular) for which the Group has the control, is capitalised and amortised over a maximum period of 10 years. Other software expenses are recognised in expenses for the period.

1.8. Business combinations, acquisition of non-controlling interests and disposals

Goodwill represents the fair value of the consideration transferred (including the acquisition-date fair value of the acquirer's previously held equity interest in the company acquired), plus the amount recognised for any non-controlling interest in the acquired company, minus the net amount recognised in relation to the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities measured at their fair value.

Goodwill is not amortised. The Group conducts impairment tests at least once a year at each statement of financial position date and at any time when there are indicators of impairment. Following these impairment tests, performed in accordance with the methodology described in Note 1.10 "Impairment of intangible assets, property, plant and equipment, right-of-use and goodwill", a goodwill impairment loss is recognised if necessary. When recognised, such a loss cannot be reversed at a later period.

Negative goodwill, if any, is immediately recognised directly in the income statement.

When determining the fair value of the assets and liabilities of the acquired entity, the Group is most notably required to value contracts and recognise these items as intangible assets for their fair value, taking into account the residual term of the contracts and a probability of renewal for street furniture and transport activities, and a principle of attrition for billboard contracts. The intangible assets thus recognised are amortised over a period corresponding to the time necessary for the cumulative discounted flows used for the valuation of the assets to cover almost all the assets. When an onerous contract is identified, the Group decreases the gross amount of right-of-use attached to the contract and recognises any resulting liability. This liability corresponds to the unavoidable net costs attached to this contract, including rent and fees and costs directly incurred, such as labour costs and direct administrative costs. Furthermore, if an exit clause results in lower costs than maintaining an onerous contract, this exit clause is provisioned.

Under IFRS, companies are granted a 12-month period, starting from the date of acquisition, to finalise the fair value measurement of the assets and liabilities acquired.

Acquisition-related costs are recognised by the Group in other operating expenses, except for acquisition-related costs for noncontrolling interests, which are recorded in equity.

For staged acquisitions, any gain or loss arising from the fair value revaluation of the previously held equity interest is recorded in the income statement under other operating income and expenses at the time control is acquired. The fair value of this revaluation is estimated on the basis of the purchase price less the control premium.

For every partial or complete disposal with loss of control, any gain or loss from the disposal as well as the re-measurement of retained interest are recorded in the income statement under other operating income and expenses.

Furthermore, for acquisitions of non-controlling interests in controlled companies and the sale of interests without loss of control, the difference between the acquisition price or sale price and the carrying value of non-controlling interests is recognised in changes in equity attributable to owners of the parent company. The corresponding cash inflows and outflows are presented under "Net cash flows from financing activities" on the statement of cash flows.

1.9. Property, plant and equipment (PP&E)

Property, plant and equipment (PP&E) are presented in the statement of financial position at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.

Street furniture

Street furniture (bus shelters, MUPIs®, Seniors, Electronic Information Boards (EIB), Automatic Public Toilets, Morris Columns, etc.) and advertising panels for the transport business are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the term of the contracts between 8 and 25 years. Digital screens are depreciated over a 5 to 10-year period; their economic life-span can be shorter than the term of the contracts. Street furniture maintenance costs are recognised as expenses.

The expected discounted dismantling costs at the end of the contract are recorded under assets, with the corresponding provision, and amortised over the term of the contracts.

Billboards

Billboards are depreciated according to the method of depreciation prevailing in the relevant countries in accordance with local regulations and economic conditions.

The main method of depreciation is the straight-line method over a period of 2 to 20 years.

Street furniture and billboard assets of the Group are insured against risks related to climatic events and their adaptation to these events is guaranteed by the carrying out of resistance tests. The amortisation periods are therefore determined according to normal durations of use; weather hazards are controlled through this insurance and through the tests carried out.

Depreciation periods

Property, plant and equipment:

• Buildings and constructions	10 to 50 years
• Technical installations, tools and equipment (excluding street furniture and billboards)	5 to 10 years
• Street furniture and billboards	2 to 25 years

Other property, plant and equipment:

• Fixtures and fittings	5 to 16 years
• Transport equipment	3 to 15 years
• Computer equipment	3 to 5 years
• Furniture	5 to 10 years

1.10. Impairment of intangible assets, property, plant and equipment, right-of-use and goodwill

Items of property, plant and equipment, intangible assets and rightof-use as well as goodwill are tested for impairment, under the IAS 36 standard, at least once a year.

Impairment testing consists in comparing the net carrying amount of a Cash-Generating Unit (CGU) or a CGU group with its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is either (i) the fair value of the asset (or group of assets) minus costs of disposal, or (ii) the value in use determined on the basis of future discounted cash flows, whichever is greater.

When the recoverable amount is assessed on the basis of the value in use, cash flow forecasts are determined using growth assumptions based either on the term of the contracts, or over a five-year period with a subsequent perpetual projection and a discount rate reflecting current market estimates of the time value of money. The growth assumptions used do not take into account any external acquisitions. Risks specific to the tested CGU are reflected in the assumptions adopted for determining the cash flows and the discount rate used.

The risks and impacts related to climate change are taken into account in the impairment test assumptions but have no significant impact for the Group. Indeed, JCDecaux's assets are insured against risks related to climatic events, which limits the risk of financial impact from this type of event on the Group. In this way, future economic flows are secured and are not impacted by weather hazards. The additional investments and operating expenses incurred by the subsidiaries to achieve ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) objectives and related to climate and environmental issues (such as the purchase of carbon certificates, etc.) have been taken into account in the preparation of the country budgets. However, they do not currently represent a sufficiently material amount to weigh significantly on the impairment tests. This is also true for the increase in electricity prices in Europe and wage costs in the various geographies, as well as the new regulations relating to the time slots for furniture lighting in a few European countries.

When the carrying amount of an asset (or group of assets) exceeds its recoverable amount, an impairment loss is recognised in the income statement to write down the asset's carrying amount to the recoverable amount.

Adopted methodology

• Level of testing
  • For PP&E, intangible assets and right-of-use, impairment tests are carried out at the CGU-level corresponding to the operational entity;
• For goodwill, tests are carried out at the level of each group of CGUs whose scope is determined by taking into account the expected level of synergies between the CGUs. In this way, tests are performed either at the level where the operating segments and the geographical area meet, or on specific groups of CGUs. For instance, Airport activity where synergies are assessed at a global level, or on Pacific, France "Roadside" and USA "Roadside" areas where synergies are justified between all sectors: Street furniture, Billboard for France Roadside and USA Roadside, and all activities for Pacific (Street furniture, Billboard, Land transport and Airports).
• Discount rates used.

The values in use taken into account for impairment testing are determined on the basis of expected future cash flows, discounted at a rate based on the weighted average cost of capital. This rate reflects management's best estimates regarding the time value of money, the risks specific to the assets or CGUs, and the economic situation in the geographical areas where the business relating to these assets or CGUs is carried out.

Countries are broken down into seven areas based on the risk associated with each country, and each area corresponds to a specific discount rate ranging from 8.5% to 20.0%, for the area presenting the highest risk. The after-tax rate of 8.5% used in 2024 (8.5% in 2023), was notably used in Western Europe (excluding Spain, Portugal and Italy), North America, Japan, Singapore and South Korea, where the Group generates 61.1% of its adjusted revenue.

• Recoverable amounts

These are determined based on budgeted values for the first year following the closing of the accounts, and growth and change assumptions specific to each market and reflecting the expected future outlook. Recoverable amounts are based on business plans for which the procedures for determining future cash flows differ for the various business segments; the related time horizon usually exceeds 5 years owing to the nature and business activity of the Group, characterised by long-term contracts with a strong likelihood of renewal. In general:

• For the Street furniture and Transport segments, future cash flows are calculated over the remaining term of contracts, taking into account the likelihood of renewal thereafter, with the business plan being conducted over the duration of the contract, usually between 5 and 20 years with a maximum term of 25 years;
• For the Billboard segment, future cash flows are calculated over a 5-year period with a perpetual projection using a 2% yearly growth rate for European countries, whose markets we consider to be mature, and a 3% rate for other countries, where billboard advertising activity seems to be experiencing more advantageous market conditions;
• For the Roadside France CGU and the Roadside USA CGU, future cash flows are calculated on the basis of the remaining term of the contracts, taking into account the likelihood of renewal at maturity and an indefinite projection based on a growth rate of respectively 2% and 3% per year, with application of a discount corresponding to the contract renewal assumption;
• For the Pacific CGU, they are calculated over a period of 5 years with an indefinite projection based on a growth rate of 3% per year.

In the context of impairment testing and potential impairment of assets related to negative cash flows, an onerous contract provision may be accounted for a contract ancillary to the relevant CGU. This provision accounts for the unavoidable net costs associated with the contract, including rent and fees and costs directly incurred such as labour and direct administrative costs. Furthermore, if an exit clause results in lower costs than maintaining an onerous contract, this exit clause is provisioned.

The recoverable amount of a group of CGUs corresponds to the sum of the individual recoverable amounts of each CGU belonging to that group.

1.11. Leases

1.11.1. Description of the Group's leases

JCDecaux's core business contracts often contain specificities geared to the activity to which they relate (Street furniture, Transport and Billboard) or to their geographic area (local regulation or market practice).

Very often, each contract for Street furniture and Transport business is a specific case with complex terms arising from direct negotiations or tender-offer conditions. Said terms may also be renegotiated during the life-span of the contract, mostly due to unexpected market events or to the operational deployment of advertising structures.

More than 13,000 contracts identified in over 70 countries fall within the scope of IFRS 16. These are essentially signed with municipalities, airports, transport companies, shopping centres and private landlords. The purpose of these contracts is to secure locations in which to install advertising panels used for the Group's main activity. Among the 13,000 contracts and more that fall within the scope of IFRS 16, almost 73% are advertising space lease agreements (Street furniture, Transport, and Billboard); they represented nearly 90% of lease liabilities as of 31 December 2024. The remaining 27% are in particular real estate and vehicle contracts.

Fixed (or fixed in-substance) rent and fees are quite often minimum guarantees of variable fees based on the advertising revenue generated by advertising panels installed in the locations covered by the contract. This is a predominant feature for transport and shopping centre business, frequently the case for street furniture, but rarer in billboard advertising where rent and fees are not usually linked to generated revenue.

Fixed rent and fees and/or fixed in-substance rent and fees or minimum guarantees may, according to the contracts:

• Remain at the same amount over the term of the contract;
• Vary on the basis of a general index (inflation, construction, etc.) or under the same calculation method as an index but more specific to a given contract (for example, passenger numbers in transport contracts);
• Vary while remaining fixed in relation to the annual amounts provided for in the contract, often linked to an expected increase in advertising revenue in line with the gradual installation of new advertising structures, the opening of new metro lines or a new airport terminal;
• Vary on the basis of a percentage of total rent and fees (including the variable portion) paid during the previous year.

Contracts may have widely different non-cancellable periods, ranging from 1 to 35 years in total:

• For street furniture business, contracts range from 1 to 35 years. This mainly depends on the terms of the tender and, in a few cases, direct negotiation with the authorities. The term is largely dependent on the economic model set out in the municipalities' specifications, and in particular on JCDecaux's expected capex level for advertising and non-advertising furniture. The higher the capex, the longer it takes to balance the economic model;
• For transport business, contracts range from 1 to 15 years. The duration also usually depends on the terms of the tender. The term of contract is generally shorter and the rent and fees level is higher than for the street furniture business due to the lower capex and operational costs compared to revenue from advertising structures;
• For large format billboard business, contracts range from 1 to 32 years. The duration varies significantly according to the countries and their local regulations, which are more or less restrictive, as well as market practices concerning relations between lessees and private landlords.

Regarding extension and renewal terms:

• According to local regulations or market practices, large format billboard contracts often have tacit renewal or automatic renewal clauses which are country-specific. In such cases, the term used is the reasonably certain term, calculated according to the average term of tacit renewal observed in the past on the portfolio of contracts;
• Street furniture and transport contracts may provide for extensions to the initial term of the contract. These are either dependent on a joint agreement between the two parties or on one party only. Cases for which JCDecaux is the only party able to exercise an option to extend the lease term of a contract are rather rare. Renewals of street furniture or transport contracts are generally made through new contracts, following a competitive bidding procedure (most often through a tender procedure).

Regarding early termination clauses, only a small number of contracts has been identified in which JCDecaux has the sole right to exercise an early termination option. More often, either the agreement of both parties is required, or the early termination option is subject to specific conditions (e.g. force majeure, change in direction of road traffic for large format billboards, major economic recession or collapse of the advertising market in certain transport contracts).

1.11.2. Contracts not covered by IFRS 16

As from 1 January 2019, each new contract is analysed to confirm whether or not it meets the definition of a lease. When the contractor who has granted advertising space to the Group has a right of substitution, allowing the contractor to replace any space allocated at the start of the contract with another one throughout the duration of the contract in order to meet operational needs (except in the case of maintenance and repair activity), this right is considered to be substantive. This is the case for the Group's street furniture and transport business, which contains provisions giving the supplier (the contractor) who has granted advertising space to the Group, the right to permanently or temporarily move certain equipment to another location or remove equipment. In the case of bus shelter contracts, the municipality may thus have the right to adapt the locations of bus shelters to changes in bus line routes. In the case of bus contracts, the transport company may have the right to change the numbers of buses, the roads or the assignment of buses to roads. In the case of airport contracts, the grantor or the airport administration authority may also have the right to request that the advertising structures be moved to adapt them to the airport's operational needs.

These rights may be exercised by the contractor at any time throughout the duration of the contract after a specific situation has arisen (for example in the event of restructuring, modification or extension of the airport, closure of roads, optimisation of the bus network, plans for refurbishment) or for any reason whatsoever, generally given scant definition in the contracts.

The bases for concluding that such agreements include substantive substitution rights are as follows:

• Contractors have the flexibility to change locations throughout the term of the contract as there are usually many alternate locations available and they have the right to request a transfer to an alternate location that meets specifications at any time during the contract;
• The right to change location does not generally depend on a limited number of events or situations, but on the contrary arises for a very broad list of reasons (such as operational needs, general interest) or in certain cases for no reason defined in the contract. This situation demonstrates that the contractor has control of the asset because he has the ability to change location only according to his own requirements or operational needs;
• The economic benefits of contractors depend mainly on their core business:
  • A change of route allows the transport company to optimise its fleet according to the evolution of traffic;
  • A change of infrastructure (restructuring or extension) allows the airport to fulfil its mission of optimising air traffic management and passenger service;
  • Indemnity clauses included in the contract beyond a certain threshold (such as the recharging of moving costs or reduced costs due to the contractor) are not dissuasive; they are merely costs to be included in an operation providing the contractor with an overall economic benefit from its main activity.

When the clauses allowing for the determination of the substantial character of the substitution right clause are valid for the entire duration of the contract, the Group does not have control of the right to use an identified asset. These contracts therefore do not meet the definition of a lease under IFRS 16 and the fixed rent and fees for the year remain recognised in the operating margin in the same way as variable rent and fees. For these contracts, future fixed rent and fees commitments until the maturity of the contract are disclosed in off-balance sheet commitments for the total amount to which the Group is committed.

Moreover, both exemptions authorised by IFRS 16 – short-term leases (12 months or less) and low value leases – have been applied.

1.11.3. Accounting treatment of leases under IFRS 16

In accordance with IFRS 16 "Leases" applied since 1 January 2019 using the full retrospective transition method, the Group recognises a lease liability for contractual minimum and fixed rental payments (or variable based on an index) against a right-of-use asset which is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease or the useful life of the underlying asset.

The fixed rent charge in the operating margin is replaced by the amortisation of the right-of-use recognised in EBIT and the financial expense of the lease liability recorded in financial income and expenses.

Variable rent and fees based on revenue are excluded from the lease liability and are recorded in the operating margin when they occur.

The standard has no impact on net income over the lease term but has a negative impact at the beginning of the contract, which reverses over time due to declining interest expenses.

The Group's net debt excludes lease liabilities.

In the statement of cash flows, only the payment of interest on the lease liability impacts cash flows from operating activities, while the principal portion impacts the cash flows from financing activities.

Net deferred taxes are recognised on leases falling under the scope of IFRS 16; right of use and lease liabilities are analysed together.

The amount of the lease liability depends on the assumptions used for the calculation thereof, such as commitment term and marginal borrowing rate.

The marginal borrowing rate is calculated for each lease as the risk-free rate for the lease's currency plus the currency basis, if available, and the subsidiary's credit margin based on the Group's credit risk or in a few specific cases linked to own financing in the subsidiaries, on a credit risk specific to the subsidiary concerned. These components are defined in light of the average weighted life of the lease.

The contract term is determined by taking into account the noncancellable period and the periods covered by renewal (or termination) options where it is reasonably certain that these options will be exercised (or not).

With respect to extension or termination options, the Group complies with IFRS 16 and the IFRS IC decision of November 2019 on lease terms and the useful lives of leasehold improvements:

• When JCDecaux is the only party able to exercise an option to extend (or terminate early), the associated duration is included when the exercise of the extension (or early termination) option by the Group is reasonably certain;
• The extension (or early termination) term taken into account is retained on the basis of the overall economy of the contract and not only the contractual termination payments. If only one of the parties has an economic interest in not interrupting this contract, then the contract is enforceable beyond the date on which it can be interrupted;
• When the lessor is the only one to be able to exercise an extension option, this option is automatically included in the duration of the contract. If the lessor is the only one able to exercise an early termination option, this option does not reduce the contractual term.

For contracts that have an indefinite term, that are cancellable at any time by either party, or that are tacitly renewed, in accordance with the IFRS IC decisions on lease terms, the useful life of leasehold improvements is used to determine the contract term or, in the context of tacitly renewed contracts, the average term to date of the tacitly renewed contracts.

With regard to French commercial leases, in accordance with the ANC's statement of conclusion dated 3 July 2020 and the illustration issued by the CNCC in November 2020, the term generally applied by the Group is nine years, with a non-cancellable period of three years. There is no renewal option at the end of the lease for major contracts. Said contracts are never tacitly renewed and are always renegotiated.

Changes and re-estimates of contracts mainly relate to signed amendments to contracts and to the life of the contract, in particular a change in the amount of rents to be paid or a change in the reasonably certain end-date when a decision is made regarding the extension or early termination of a contract. Such changes lead to a re-estimation of the lease liability against the right-of-use. The impact of this contract modification presents a linearised effect in the income statement on the new residual term of the contract and may lead, in the event of termination of contracts, to a positive effect in the income statement.

Contracts already signed but not started at the closing date are disclosed in off-balance sheet commitments.

1.11.4. IFRS 16 Rent concessions

The Group may need to negotiate reductions in fixed and minimum guaranteed rents with its concession grantors.

For contracts falling within the scope of IFRS 16, i.e. contracts that do not include substantive substitution rights, the amount of these rent reductions is recognised:

• As variable credit rent and fees in the operating margin, offset against a decrease in the lease liability:
  • In accordance with IFRS 16 "Leases", for the contracts that have been analysed and in which the Group has identified force majeure or hardship clauses, the presence of these clauses allowing for these reductions to not be considered as contract amendments;
  • In accordance with the amendment to IFRS 16 "Covid-19 related rent concessions beyond 30 June 2021" for other contracts whose rent reductions signed in 2023 were not associated with a contract amendment and covered a period which does not extend beyond 30 June 2022;
  • The extinction of the liability recognised in the income statement is restated in the statement of cash flows under "Gains and losses on lease contracts";
• As a reduction in the lease liability with a counterpart of a reduction in the right of use, when the negotiations were considered contract modifications and in the absence of a force majeure clause.

1.12. Investments under the equity method

At the date of acquisition, investments under the equity method include the share of the Group's equity (excluding non-controlling interests) as well as the goodwill recognised on the acquisition of these shares.

The share of impairment of the assets recognised at the time of acquisition or upon the fair value adjustment of existing assets is presented under "Share of net profit of companies under the equity method".

If the Group's share of losses of an equity-accounted entity exceeds its interest in that entity, its share is reduced to zero under "Investments under the equity method" by a reclassification against any loan to this entity consisting of a net investment. If the Group considers itself as involved in losses, a provision is recognised under provisions for contingencies for the share of losses exceeding the initial investment as well as loans and receivables.

Investments under the equity method are subject to impairment tests on an annual basis, or when existing conditions suggest a possible impairment. When necessary, the related loss, which is recorded in "Share of net profit of companies under the equity method," is calculated on the asset's recoverable value which is defined as either (i) the fair value of the asset less costs of disposal, or (ii) its value in use based on the expected future cash flows less net debt, whichever is the greater. For listed companies, the fair value used as part of impairment tests corresponds to the stock price. The method used to calculate the values in use is the same one as applied for PP&E, intangible assets and right-of-use as described in Note 1.10 "Impairment of intangible assets, property, plant and equipment, right-of-use and goodwill".

1.13. Other financial assets

This heading mainly includes investments in non-consolidated entities (financial investments), loans, deposits and guarantees and advances paid on the acquisition of long-term investments under conditions precedent.

They are recorded and measured:

• For investments in non-consolidated entities, initially at their fair value, which corresponds to their acquisition price. Following this, they are measured at fair value which, in the absence of a listed price on an active market, is close to their value in use which takes into account the share of equity and the probable recovery amount. Changes in value are recognised for each asset and definitively either in net income or in other comprehensive income with no option for reclassification to net income in the event of disposal. Only the dividends received from these assets measured at fair value through equity are recorded in the income statement under "Other financial income and expenses";
• For the other financial assets, at amortised cost (IFRS 9 category). An impairment loss is recognised in the income statement when the recovery amount of these loans and receivables is less than their carrying amount.

1.14. Inventories

Inventories mainly consist of:

• Parts required for the maintenance of installed street furniture; and;
• Street furniture and billboards in kit form.

Inventories are valued at weighted average cost, and may include production, assembly and logistic costs.

Inventories are written down to their net realisable value when said value is lower than cost.

1.15. Trade and other receivables

Trade receivables are recorded at fair value, which corresponds to their nominal invoice value, unless there is a significant discounting effect. After initial recognition, they are measured at amortised cost.

A provision for impairment is recognised when their recovery amount is less than their carrying amount. The Group recognises an additional provision relating to expected losses using the simplified method on the performing receivables by applying an average rate of default of payment based from historical statistical data. This forward-looking model based on expected losses applies to receivables upon their initial recognition.

The Group can proceed to transfers of receivables as part of recurring or one-off program. Pursuant to the provisions of IFRS 9, an analysis is then carried out to assess the transfer of the risks and benefits inherent in the ownership of these receivables and in particular that of the credit risk, the risk of late payment and the risk of dilution. If this review confirms the transfer of almost all the risks and benefits associated with the receivables transferred, these are removed from the statement of financial position.

1.16. Managed cash

Managed cash includes cash, cash equivalents and treasury financial assets. These items are measured at fair value and changes in fair value are recognised in net financial income.

Cash recognised as assets in the statement of financial position includes cash at bank and cash in hand. Cash equivalents consist of short-term investments and short-term deposits. Short-term investments and short-term deposits are easily convertible into a known cash amount and are subject to low risk of change in value, in accordance with IAS 7.

Treasury financial assets are short-term liquid investments and cash owned by the Group but held in escrow accounts in connection with the execution of contracts. These assets have the main characteristics of cash equivalents but do not strictly comply with all the criteria to be qualified as such, according to IAS 7. They are included in the calculation of the Group's net debt.

For the consolidated statement of cash flows, net cash consists of cash and cash equivalents as defined above, net of bank overdrafts.

1.17. Financial debts

Financial debts are initially recorded at the fair value generally corresponding to the amount received less related issuance costs and are subsequently measured at amortised cost.

1.18. Financial derivatives

A financial derivative is a financial instrument having the following three characteristics:

• An underlying item that changes the value of the financial derivative;
• Little or no initial net investment and
• Settlement at a future date.

Financial derivatives are recognised in the statement of financial position at fair value in assets or liabilities. Changes in subsequent values are offset in the income statement, unless they have been qualified as part of an effective cash flow hedge (effective portion) or as a foreign net investment.

Hedge accounting may be adopted if a hedging relationship between the hedged item (the underlying) and the financial derivative is established and documented from the time the hedge is set up, and its effectiveness is demonstrated from inception and at each period-end. The Group currently limits itself mainly to two types of hedges for financial assets and liabilities:

• Fair Value Hedge, whose purpose is to limit the impact of changes in the fair value of assets, liabilities or firm commitments at inception, due to changes in market conditions. The change in the fair value of the hedging instrument is recorded in the income statement under net financial income. However, this impact is cancelled out by symmetrical changes in the fair value of the hedged risk (to the extent of hedge effectiveness);
• Cash Flow Hedge, whose purpose is to limit changes in cash flows attributable to existing assets and liabilities or highly probable forecasted transactions. The effective portion of the change in fair value of the hedging instrument is recorded directly under other comprehensive income, and the ineffective portion is maintained in the income statement under net financial income. The amount recorded in other comprehensive income is reclassified under net financial income when the hedged item itself has an impact on profit or loss. The initial value recorded on the balance sheet in assets or liabilities is recognised by applying the "basis adjustment".

The hedging relationship involves a single market parameter, which for the Group is currently either a foreign exchange rate or an interest rate. When a derivative is used to hedge both a foreign exchange and interest rate risk, the foreign exchange and interest rate impacts are treated separately.

Hedge accounting is discontinued when the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated or exercised, or no longer qualifies for hedge accounting. Any cumulative gain or loss on a cash flow hedge as part of the hedging of a highly probable forecasted transaction recognised under other comprehensive income is maintained under other comprehensive income until the forecasted transaction occurs. If the hedged transaction is no longer expected to occur, the net cumulative gain or loss recognised under other comprehensive income is transferred to net financial income for the period.

For derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting, any gains or losses arising from changes in fair value are recorded directly under net financial income for the period.

The accounting classification of financial derivatives instruments in current or non-current items is determined by the maturity of the derivative.

1.19. Commitments to purchase non-controlling interests

In the absence of any position from the IASB on the accounting treatment of commitments to purchase non-controlling interests, the accounting positions taken in the previous consolidated financial statements have been maintained for all Group commitments.

The application of IAS 32 results in the recognition of a liability relating to commitments to purchase shares held by noncontrolling interests in the Group's subsidiaries, not only for the portion already recognised in non-controlling interests (reclassified in liabilities), but also for the excess resulting from the present value of the commitment. The amount of this excess portion is deducted from non-controlling interests in the equity of the statement of financial position.

In the absence of any position from the IASB on the accounting treatment of commitments to purchase non-controlling interests, subsequent changes in the fair value of the liability are recognised under net financial income and allocated to non-controlling interests in the income statement, with no impact on consolidated net income (Group share).

Commitments recorded in this respect are presented under the statement of financial position heading "Debt on commitments to purchase non-controlling interests".

1.20. Provisions for retirement and other long-term benefits

The Group's obligations resulting from defined benefit plans, as well as their cost, are recognised as liabilities and determined using the projected unit credit method.

This method consists in measuring the obligation based on the projected end-of-career salary and the rights vested at the valuation date, determined in accordance with collective trade union agreements, company agreements or the legal rights in effect.

The actuarial assumptions used to determine the obligations vary according to the economic conditions prevailing in the country of origin and the demographic assumptions specific to each company.

These plans are either funded, with their assets being managed by an entity that is legally separate and independent from the Group, or partially funded or not funded, with the Group's obligations being covered by a provision in the statement of financial position. The income from the plan's assets is estimated based on the discount rate used for the benefit obligation.

For post-employment benefit plans, actuarial gains and losses are immediately and entirely recognised under other comprehensive income with no option to reclassify in the income statement. Past service costs are immediately and fully recorded in the income statement on acquired rights as well as on future entitlements.

For other long-term benefits, actuarial gains or losses and past service costs are recognised as income or expenses when they occur.

The effects of discounting the provision for employee benefits are presented in net financial income (loss).

1.21. Dismantling provisions

Costs for dismantling street furniture at the end of a contract are recorded under provisions, when a contractual dismantling obligation exists at a foreseeable date. These provisions represent the entire estimated dismantling cost from the contract's inception and are discounted. In return, dismantling costs are offset under assets in the statement of financial position and amortised over the term of the contract. The discounting charge is recorded as a financial expense. The discount rate applied is the swap rate in the country concerned for the average weighted life of the assets of the contracts.

1.22. Share-based payments

1.22.1. Share purchase or subscription plans at an agreed unit price

In accordance with IFRS 2 "Share-based payment", stock options granted to employees are considered to be part of compensation in exchange for services rendered over the period extending from the grant date to the vesting date.

The fair value of services rendered is determined by reference to the fair value of the financial instruments granted.

The fair value of options is determined at their grant date by an independent actuary, and any subsequent changes in the fair value are not taken into account. The Black & Scholes valuation model used is based on the assumptions described in Note 5.2 "Net operating expenses" hereafter.

The cost of services rendered is recognised in the income statement and offset under an equity heading on a basis that reflects the vesting pattern of the options. This entry is recorded at the end of each accounting period until the date at which all vesting rights of the plan in question have been fully vested.

The amount stated in equity reflects the extent to which the vesting period has expired and the number of options granted that, based on management's best available estimate, will ultimately vest. The vesting period runs from the date of acceptance by the beneficiary.

Stock option plans are granted based on individual objectives and Group results. The exercise of stock options is subject to years of continuous presence in the company.

1.22.2. Free shares award plans

The fair value of free shares is determined on their date of grant by an independent actuary. This fair value of the free share is determined according to the price on the grant date less discounted future dividends.

Obtaining all the free shares takes place after continuous presence within the Group defined according to the plans and according to the achievement of Group and individual performance conditions.

The cost of services rendered is recognised in the income statement by offsetting an equity item, following a profile that reflects the terms of acquisition of the free shares. The vesting period runs from the date of acceptance by the beneficiary.

1.23. Revenue

The Group's revenue comes primarily from sales of advertising space, analogue or digital, on street furniture equipment, billboards and advertising in transport systems.

The Group's digital revenue corresponds to the sale of digital advertising space based on the audience or in a more traditional way based on location. It also includes programmatic sales, i.e. sales made automatically and/or in real time via a platform directly connecting buyer platforms and available digital inventory. Advertising inventory sales can be carried out via an auction system or at a fixed price allocating different priority levels on placements to meet the needs of advertisers according to their budget and communication objectives.

Advertising space revenue, rentals and provided services are recorded as revenue on a straight-line basis for the period over which the service is performed. The duration of said period is generally between 1 week and 3 years.

The trigger event for advertising space revenue recognition is the execution of the advertising campaign.

Advertising space revenue is recorded on a net basis after deduction of commercial rebates. In some countries, commissions are paid by the Group to advertising agencies and media brokers when they act as intermediaries between the Group and advertisers. These commissions are then deducted from revenue.

In agreements where the Group pays variable fees or revenue sharing, and to the extent that the Group acts as the principal in its advertising space sales activity, the Group recognises all gross advertising revenue as revenue and records fees and the portion of revenue repaid as operating expenses.

Discounts granted to customers for early payment are deducted from revenue.

Provision of advertising space contracts is considered to be one-off long-term service delivery. When discounts are granted to customers on long-term contracts for the provision of advertising space, they are recorded as a cumulative adjustment over the entire duration of the contract, with the service still to be provided not being considered as distinct from the service already performed.

In addition to marketing advertising space on furniture, the Group also sells, rents and maintains street furniture, the revenue from which is recognised under Street furniture business. The Group also earns non-advertising revenues from its Self-Service Bicycle business as well as the implementation of innovative technical solutions, under the "JCDecaux Innovate" name, plus services ancillary to its analogue and digital revenues. Non-advertising revenue is recognised on a straight-line basis over the duration of the contract, apart from the sale of furniture or one-off services.

1.24. Operating margin

The operating margin is defined as revenue minus direct operating and selling, general and administrative expenses.

It includes rents and fees related to lease contracts that do not fall within the scope of IFRS 16, such as variable lease expenses contracts, fixed rents and fees on contracts with substantial substitution rights, as well as rents on short-term or low-value lease contracts.

The operating margin also includes charges to provisions net of reversals relating to trade receivables.

The operating margin is impacted by cash discounts granted to customers deducted from revenue, and cash discounts received from suppliers deducted from direct operating expenses. It also includes stock option or free share expenses recognised in the line item "Selling, general and administrative expenses".

1.25. EBIT

EBIT is determined on the basis of the operating margin minus the consumption of spare parts used for maintenance, depreciation, amortisation and provisions (net), goodwill impairment losses, and other operating income and expenses.

Inventory impairment losses are recognised in the line item "Maintenance spare parts" and the depreciation expenses, in addition to the depreciation of tangible and intangible assets acquired or recognized as part of an acquisition, include the amortization of right-of-use assets under IFRS 16.

Other operating income and expenses include the gains and losses generated by the disposal of property, plant and equipment, intangible assets, joint ventures and associates, gains and losses on leases, gains and losses generated by the loss of control of companies, any gain or loss resulting from the fair value revaluation of a retained interest, any gain or loss resulting from the fair value revaluation of a previously held equity interest at the time control is acquired with staged acquisitions, potential price adjustments resulting from events subsequent to the acquisition date, as well as any negative goodwill, acquisition-related costs, and non-recurring items.

Net charges related to the results of impairment tests performed on property, plant and equipment, intangible assets and right-ofuse are included in the line item "Depreciation, amortisation and provisions (net)".

1.26. Current and deferred income tax

Deferred taxes are recognised based on timing differences between the accounting value and the tax base of assets and liabilities. They mainly stem from consolidation restatements (standardisation of Group accounting principles and amortisation/depreciation periods for property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, leases, recognition of contracts as part of the purchase method, etc.). Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rate expected to apply for the period in which the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on the tax regulations that were adopted at the closing date. They may be written down if a subsidiary has a net deferred tax asset whose short-term recovery is uncertain.

Deferred tax assets on tax losses carried forward are recognised only when it is probable that the Group will have future taxable profits against which these tax losses may be offset. The period for recovering ordinary losses used by the Group is a 3-to-5-year time frame adapted to the specific characteristics of each country.

In accordance with IFRS, the Group determined that the CVAE (French tax known as the Cotisation sur la Valeur Ajoutée des Entreprises) is an income tax expense.

2. CHANGES IN THE CONSOLIDATION SCOPE

On 28 October 2024, following more than 14 months of examination, the Group announced its decision not to proceed with the acquisition of the Spanish operations of Clear Channel Outdoor Holdings, Inc. initiated in 2023, the completion of which was subject to approval by the Spanish competition authority.

2.1. Major changes in the consolidation scope

The main changes in the consolidation scope during 2024 are as follows:

Acquisitions

On 30 September 2024, JCDecaux Top Media SA (Panama), 55.6% owned, acquired 70% of IMC group (a leading OOH company in Central America and the number one OOH in Costa Rica). As part of the transaction, IMC's remaining historical shareholders contributed their 30% of shares in IMC in exchange for a 9% stake in JCDecaux Top Media SA. Following this, JCDecaux Top Media SA holds 100% of IMC. It remains fully consolidated and is now 50.8% owned.

Disposals

On 13 June 2024, JCDecaux SE (France) sold 13.56% of APG|SGA (Switzerland) to NZZ for CHF 220 per share. APG|SGA, associate company under significant influence and formerly held at 30%, is now 16.44% owned and remains consolidated under the equity method. This transaction resulted in the recognition of a capital gain on disposal of €45.0 million in EBIT.

Ownership interest changes

In 2024, Top Result Promotion Ltd (China) increased by 8% its stake in Beijing Top Result Metro Advertising Co. Ltd. [China]. This associate is now 41%-owned and remains consolidated under the equity method.

Other changes

Other changes, in particular disposals, mergers, liquidations and percentage changes with no gain or loss of control, are described in Note 13 "Scope of consolidation".

2.2. Impact of acquisitions

The takeover of IMC group in 2024 and the purchase price allocation within the 12-month period following the acquisitions of the OOH division of Grupo Publigrafik, had the following impacts on the Group's consolidated financial statements:

In million euros		FAIR VALUE AT THE DATE OF ACQUISITION
Non-current assets		35.7
Current assets		10.4
TOTAL ASSETS		46.1
Non-current liabilities		17.1
Current liabilities		5.3
TOTAL LIABILITIES		22.4
FAIR VALUE OF NET ASSETS AT 100%	(a)	23.7
- of which non-controlling interests	(b)	-
TOTAL CONSIDERATION TRANSFERRED	(c)	44.3
- of which contributed assets(2)		13.5
- of which purchase price		30.8
GOODWILL	(d)=(c)-(a)+(b)	20.6
- including goodwill allocated to companies under the equity method	(e)	-
GOODWILL IFRS(1)	(f)=(d)-(e)	20.6
PURCHASE PRICE		(30.8)
Net cash acquired		3.9
ACQUISITIONS OF LONG-TERM

(1) The option of the full goodwill calculation method was not used.

(2) Mainly assets contributed as part of the acquisition of IMC.

The purchase price allocation within the 12-month period following the acquisitions of the OOH division of Grupo Publigrafik had no significant impact on the 2023 income statement; this immaterial impact is recognised in the 2024 consolidated income statement.

The impact of the 2024 acquisitions on revenue and net income (Group share) is respectively €6.6 million and €0.8 million. Had the acquisitions taken place as of 1 January 2024, the additional impact would have been an increase of €13.8 million on revenue and an increase of €0.7 million on net income (Group share).

3. SEGMENT REPORTING

The Group's segment reporting, based on operational management reports produced for the Executive Board, the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM), is prepared from historical IFRS data adjusted by the two following impacts:

• IFRS 11 impact: in the segment reporting, the data related to joint ventures, companies under joint control, is proportionately consolidated;
• IFRS 16 impact on lease contracts of locations for advertising structures ("Core Business" contracts) excluding real estate and vehicle rental leases ("Non-Core Business" contracts): fixed rent and fees of "Core Business" contracts falling within the scope of IFRS 16 are included in the operating margin in the segment information on the basis of recognition of discounts for the corresponding fiscal year.

Consequently, pursuant to IFRS 8, the operating data presented hereafter, in line with internal communication, is "adjusted".

This "adjusted data" are alternative performance measures (APM) used and commented in the external financial communication.

The "adjusted" data is reconciled with the IFRS financial statements for which the IFRS 11 leads to consolidation of the joint ventures under the equity method and where "core business" rents are accounted for in accordance with IFRS 16 (recognition of a lease liability and a right-of-use asset in respect of the fixed rent and fees and guaranteed minimums) and their impact on the income statement (right-of-use amortisation and discounting of the lease liability) replace the rent charge.

3.1. Information related to operating segments

Definition of operating segments

Street furniture

TOTAL	1,614.9	1,516.6	3,131.4	1,571.2	1,498.8	3,070.0

This table takes into account the impairment losses recognised on property, plant and equipment, intangible assets, right-of-use and goodwill.

(1) Goodwill is shown net of net deferred tax liabilities related to contracts, fair value adjustments to property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, and provisions for onerous contracts, recognised in connection with business combinations, totalling respectively, €89.2 million and €94.8 million as at 31 December 2024 and 31 December 2023.

(2) Intangible assets, property, plant and equipment and right-of-use are presented net of provisions for onerous contracts of €3.3 million and €14.3 million as at 31 December 2024 and 31 December 2023, respectively. They are also shown net of lease liabilities of €2,337.3 million and €2,657.0 million as at 31 December 2024 and 31 December 2023, respectively.

Impairment tests carried out at 31 December 2024 led to the recognition in EBIT of a net reversal of provision for onerous contracts of €6.7 million, a net reversal of amortisation of right-ofuse of 4.3 million, an overall net impairment loss of €(3.2) million on intangible assets and property, plant and equipment.

Impairment tests on goodwill, property, plant and equipment, intangible assets and right-of-use have a positive impact of €5.9 million on the net result (Group share) (compared to €3.4 million in 2023).

The discount rate, the operating margin ratio and the perpetual growth rate for the Billboard business are considered to be the Group's key assumptions with respect to impairment testing.

The countries are broken down into seven areas based on the risk associated with each country, and each area corresponds to a specific discount rate ranging from 8.5% to 20.0% for the area presenting the highest risk. The after-tax rate of 8.5%, employed in 2024 (8.5% also in 2023), was used, in particular, in Western Europe (excluding Spain, Portugal, Italy), North America, Japan, Singapore, and South Korea, where the Group generates 61.1% of its adjusted revenue.

The average discount rate for the Group stood at 9.6% in 2024.

The sensitivity tests whose results are presented below were run at the level of each business plan of each CGU. Where a region has several CGUs, tests were run separately on each one.

• In France, the United Kingdom, Europe (excluding France and the United Kingdom), Asia and Pacific, three sensitivity tests were carried out:
  • firstly, a 100 basis point rise in the discount rate for all businesses;
  • then by reducing the operating margin ratio for all businesses by 100 basis points;
  • and finally, by reducing by 100 basis points the perpetual growth rate of discounted cash flows for the Billboard business, Pacific CGU, France Roadside CGU and United States Roadside CGU.
• In the Rest of the World region, where some countries are exposed to greater political and economic volatility, three sensitivity tests were also carried out:
  • firstly, a 200 basis point rise in the discount rate for all businesses;
  • then by reducing the operating margin ratio for all businesses by 200 basis points;
  • and finally, by reducing by 200 basis points the perpetual growth rate of discounted cash flows for the Billboard business.

The Airports CGU is tested at a global level.

The results below are an aggregate of the tests run on each business plan.

The results of the sensitivity tests demonstrate that:

• a 100 basis point increase in the discount rate for France, the United Kingdom, Europe (excluding France and the United Kingdom), Asia and Pacific would result in an impairment loss of €(49.3) million on the France Roadside goodwill, €(29.6) million on the Billboard goodwill, €(40.9) million on the goodwill from Pacific and €(0.4) million on the assets of the Street furniture activity;
• a 200 basis point rise in the discount rate for the Rest of the World region would result in an impairment loss of €(9.5) million on the goodwill of Billboard activity. This 200 basis point increase in the discount rate would also result in an impairment loss of €(1.3) million on the assets of the Billboard business, €(1.0) million on Land Transport business assets and €(0.4) million on the assets of the Street furniture business;
• a 100 basis point decrease in the operating margin ratio for France, the United Kingdom, Europe (excluding France and the United Kingdom), Asia and Pacific, would result in an impairment loss of €(32.5) million on France Roadside goodwill. This 100 basis point decrease in the operating margin ratio would also lead to an impairment loss of €(0.7) million on Street furniture business assets, €(0.3) million on Airport CGU assets, €(0.3) million on Land Transport business assets and €(0.2) million on the assets of the Billboard business;
• a 200 basis point decrease in the operating margin ratio for the Rest of the World region would result in an impairment loss of €(1.8) million on Land Transport business assets, €(1.4) million on the assets of Billboard business, €(1.1) million on the assets of the Street furniture business and €(0.2) million on the assets of the Airport CGU;
• a 100 basis point decrease in the perpetual growth rate of discounted cash flows for France, the United Kingdom, Europe (excluding France and the United Kingdom), Asia and Pacific regions would result in an impairment loss on the goodwill of France Roadside of €(45.6) million, an impairment loss on the goodwill of the Billboard activity of €(15.1) million and an impairment loss of €(23.0) million on the goodwill from Pacific;
• a 200 basis point decrease in the perpetual growth rate of discounted cash flows for the Rest of the World region would result in an impairment loss of €(0.2) million on the assets of the Billboard business.

4.5. Investments under the equity method and impairment tests

In million euros	31/12/2024	31/12/2023
Joint Ventures	193.3	196.7
Associates	188.5	224.9
TOTAL (1)	381.8	421.6

(1) Including €10.5 million related to the Rest of the World area as of 31 December 2024 compared to €13.0 million as of 31 December 2023.

The information related to the joint ventures and associates is provided in application of IFRS 12 "Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities" and is detailed in Note 11 "Information on the joint ventures" and in Note 12 "Information on associates".

In 2024, no impairment loss was recognised on the joint ventures and an impairment loss was recognised on the associates in the amount of €(5.9) million.

In 2023, no impairment loss was recognised on the joint ventures or the associates.

For companies consolidated under the equity method, the results of the sensitivity tests demonstrate that:

• a 100 basis point increase in the discount rate for companies out of Rest of the World region would result in an impairment loss of €(8.2) million on the share of net profit of companies consolidated under the equity method;
• a 200 basis point increase in the discount rate for companies in the Rest of the World region would not result in an impairment loss on the share of net profit of companies consolidated under the equity method;
• a 100 basis point decrease in the operating margin ratio for companies out of Rest of the World region would result in an impairment loss of €(6.4) million on the share of net profit of companies consolidated under the equity method;
• a 200 basis point decrease in the operating margin ratio for companies in the Rest of the World region would not result in an impairment loss on the share of net profit of companies consolidated under the equity method;
• a 100 basis point decrease in the perpetual growth rate of discounted cash flows of the Billboard business for companies out of Rest of the World region would result in an impairment loss of €(6.2) million on the share of net profit of companies consolidated under the equity method;
• a 200 basis point decrease in the perpetual growth rate of discounted cash flows of the Billboard business for companies belonging to the Rest of the World region would not result in an impairment loss.

4.6. Other financial assets (current and non-current)

Other financial investments	25.7	26.8
TOTAL	65.2	87.7

The overall decrease in other financial assets of €(22.5) million at 31 December 2024 is primarily due to the impairment loss of €(22.6) million recognised on a loan related to the Group's investment in Clear Media in China.

The maturity of other financial assets (excluding financial investments) breaks down as follows:

In million euros	31/12/2024	31/12/2023

TOTAL WRITE-DOWN FOR TRADE AND OTHER RECEIVABLES	(25.2)	(29.2)
TOTAL	815.8	824.1

The decrease in the "trade and other receivables" heading of €8.3 million at 31 December 2024, is mainly a result of business activity of €(44.0) million, of reclassifications for €23.4 million represented mainly by the impact of a contract renegotiation in Asia from intangible assets to prepaid expenses, of changes in scope of €4.7 million and of currency effects for €7.6 million. The balance of pastdue and un-provisioned trade receivables was €291.3 million as of 31 December 2024 compared to €310.1 million as of 31 December 2023. Of the un-provisioned trade receivables 8.0% were overdue by more than 90 days as of 31 December 2024 compared to 10.0% as of 31 December 2023. These receivables are held mainly against media agencies or international groups where debt recovery risk is low.

As of 31 December 2024, the Group has completed a non-recourse sale of trade receivables for an outstanding amount of €266.0 million. The assigned trade receivables were derecognised as of 31 December 2024 in accordance with the provisions of IFRS 9, with substantially all the risks and rewards associated with said assigned receivables transferred to the bank.

4.10. Managed cash

In million euros	31/12/2024	31/12/2023
Cash	113.0	131.7
Cash equivalents	1,149.4	1,465.5
TOTAL CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS	1,262.3	1,597.2
Treasury financial assets	86.4	91.4
TOTAL MANAGED CASH	1,348.7	1,688.6

The Group has €1,348.7 million managed cash as of 31 December 2024, compared to €1,688.6 million as of 31 December 2023, a decrease of €339.9 million.

Cash and cash equivalents mainly include short-term deposits and money market funds. €3.3 million of the total of cash and cash equivalents were invested in guarantees as of 31 December 2024, compared to €5.2 million as of 31 December 2023.

As of 31 December 2024, treasury financial assets were comprised of €48.9 million of short-term liquid investments (compared to €47.9 million as of 31 December 2023) and €37.5 million held in an escrow account by the Group in connection with operational contracts, where the cash belongs to the Group (compared to €43.5 million as of 31 December 2023) These treasury financial assets have the main characteristics of cash equivalents but do not strictly comply with all the criteria to be qualified as such according to IAS 7.

4.11. Net deferred taxes

4.11.1. Deferred taxes recorded

Breakdown of deferred taxes:

In million euros	31/12/2024	31/12/2023
PP&E, intangible assets and provisions for onerous contracts	(161.9)	(160.0)
Tax losses carried forward	168.4	135.0
Provisions for dismantling costs	24.1	22.9
Provisions for retirement and other benefits	18.7	17.5
Provisions for risk and litigation and other provisions	39.0	43.6
IFRS 16 leases	56.7	63.9
Other	7.7	8.3
TOTAL	152.6	131.1

The €21.5 million increase of deferred tax assets net of the deferred tax liabilities is essentially due to the reversals of provisions on deferred tax assets, offset by a decrease in deferred tax assets on IFRS 16 leases and provisions for risk and litigation and other provisions.

4.11.2. Net deferred tax variation

As of 31 December 2024, the net deferred tax variations were as follows:

In million euros	31/12/2023	NET EXPENSE	RECLASSIFICATIONS (1)	DT ON ACTUARIAL GAINS AND LOSSES	TRANSLATION ADJUSTMENTS	CHANGES IN SCOPE	OTHER(2)	31/12/2024

4.12. Equity

Breakdown of share capital

As of 31 December 2024, share capital amounted to €3,264,372.84 divided into 214,128,663 shares of the same class and fully paid up.

Reconciliation of the number of outstanding shares as of 1 January 2024 and 31 December 2024:

Number of outstanding shares as of 1 January 2024
Free shares delivered	967,005
NUMBER OF OUTSTANDING SHARES AS OF 31 DECEMBER 2024	214,128,663

The Group holds 161,069 treasury shares as of 31 December 2024.

967,005 shares were delivered to the beneficiaries in 2024, as part of the 2021 free share plan.

The Group granted a free share allocation plan in 2024 (see note on staff costs in Note 5.2 "Net operating expenses").

The cost associated with all plans amounted to €2.3 million in 2024.

The General Meeting of Shareholders held on 7 May 2024 decided not to pay a dividend for any of the 213,161,658 shares making up the share capital at 31 December 2023.

Non-controlling interests do not represent a significant portion of the 2024 and 2023 Group consolidated financial statements.

(1) Including €6.0 million recognised versus PP&E.

(2) Including €(23.1) million recognised versus PP&E.

4.13.1. Provisions for dismantling costs

Provisions consist mainly of provisions for dismantling costs regarding advertising assets in respect of the Street furniture and Transport businesses. They are calculated at the end of each fiscal year and are based on the assets pool and their unitary dismantling cost (labour, cost of destruction and restoration of ground surfaces). As of 31 December 2024, the average residual contract term used to calculate the provision for dismantling costs is 6.8 years.

As rates are individualised for each country, a weighted average discount rate was calculated based on each country's dismantling provision for the needs of the sensitivity analysis. As of 31 December 2024 the sensitivity analysis used this weighted average discount rate for dismantling provisions, calculated as 2.85%, compared to the 3.43% rate used at 31 December 2023. Therefore, a 25-basis point reduction in the weighted average discount rate to 2.60% would have generated an additional provision of approximately €4.2 million.

As of 31 December 2024, the reversal of provisions for dismantling costs amounts to €134.8 million over a time horizon less than or equal to 5 years; it amounts to €78.5 million over a time horizon ranging between 5 and 10 years and to €38.3 million after 10 years.

4.13.2. Provisions for retirement and other benefits

4.13.2.1. Characteristics of the defined benefits plans

The Group's defined employee benefit obligations mainly consist of retirement benefits (contractual termination benefits, pensions and other retirement benefits for senior executives of certain Group subsidiaries) and other long-term benefits paid throughout the employee's career, such as long service awards or jubilees.

The Group's retirement benefits mainly involve France and the United Kingdom.

In France, termination benefits paid at retirement are calculated in accordance with the Convention Nationale de la Publicité (Collective Bargaining Agreement for Advertising) for the main entities.

In the United Kingdom, retirement obligations mainly consist of a pension plan previously opened to some employees of JCDecaux UK Ltd. In December 2002, the vesting rights for this plan were frozen.

4.13.2.2. Financial information

Provisions are calculated according to the following assumptions:

	2024	2023
DISCOUNT RATE(1)
Euro Zone	3.25%	3.25%
United Kingdom	5.30%	4.50%
ANNUAL RATE OF INCREASE IN FUTURE SALARIES
Euro Zone	1.24%	2.17%
United Kingdom (2)	NA	NA
INFLATION RATE
Euro Zone	2.00%	2.10%
United Kingdom	2.85%	2.70%

(1) The discount rates for the Euro Zone and the United Kingdom are taken from Iboxx data and are determined based on the yield rate of bonds issued by highly rated companies (rated AA).

(2) As the UK plan was frozen, no salary increase was taken into account.

(1) Including €7.2 million related to experience gains and losses, €(1.5) million related to financial assumptions and €(0.3) million related to demographic assumptions.

(2) Mainly the United Kingdom.

As of 31 December 2024, the Group's benefit obligation amounted to €143.1 million and mainly involved two countries: France (46% of the total benefit obligation) and the United Kingdom (29%).

The valuations were performed by an independent actuary who also conducted sensitivity tests for each of the plans.

The results of the sensitivity tests demonstrate that:

• a decrease of 50 basis points in the discount rate would lead to a €7.2 million increase in the benefit obligation's present value;
• an increase of 50 basis points in the annual rate of increase in future salaries would lead to a €4.2 million increase in the benefit obligation's present value;
• an increase of 50 basis points in the inflation rate would lead to a €0.9 million increase in the benefit obligation's present value.

The variances observed during the sensitivity tests do not call into question the rates taken for the preparation of the financial statements, deemed to be the rates that are the closest match to the market.

The breakdown of the related plan assets is as follows:

(4) After adjustment of the assets ceiling presentation.

4.13.2.3. Information about future cash flows

Future contributions to pension funds for 2025 are estimated at €2.5 million.

The average weighted duration is respectively 10 years and 11 years for the Euro Zone and the United Kingdom.

The JCDecaux UK Ltd pension plan in the United Kingdom has been closed since December 2002. Today only the deferred or retirees remain in this plan. "Funding" evaluations are carried out every three years in order to ascertain the level of the plan's deficit with the agreement of the Trustees and the employer in compliance with regulations. A schedule of contributions is set out until 2028.

4.13.2.4. Defined contribution plans

Contributions paid for defined contribution plans represented €37.9 million in 2024 compared to €35.2 million in 2023.

4.13.2.5. Multi-employer defined benefit plans

The Group takes part in three multi-employer defined benefit plans covered by assets in Sweden (ITP Plan). An evaluation is performed each year according to local standards. The benefit obligation of JCDecaux Sverige AB cannot currently be determined separately. As of 31 December 2023, the three plans were in a situation of profit for a total amount of €6.1 billion, at the national level, according to local evaluations specific to these commitments. The expense recognised in the consolidated financial statements for these three plans is the same as the contributions paid in 2024, i.e. €0.6 million. The future contributions of the three plans will be steady in 2025.

The Group also takes part in four multi-employer plans in the United States. JCDecaux does not have sufficient information related to the assets and obligations of these plans, the amount of actuarial gains and losses, the service cost and the financial cost, all information necessary for the recognition of these plans as defined benefit plans. Therefore, they are recognised on the same basis as the defined contribution plans. The Group's annual contribution to these multi-employer plans in the United States amounts to €0.7 million.

4.13.3. Provisions for risks and litigation

Provisions for risks and litigation amounted to €67.8 million as of 31 December 2024 compared to €67.7 million as of 31 December 2023.

The JCDecaux Group is party to several legal disputes regarding the terms of implementation and conditions for some of its contracts with concession grantors and the terms and conditions governing supplier relations. In addition, the specific nature of its business (contracts with public authorities) may generate specific contentious procedures. The JCDecaux Group is party to litigation over the awarding or cancellation of street furniture, transport and billboard contracts, as well as tax litigation. In addition, in the context of their businesses, Group companies may be subject to actions/investigations from legal authorities/national competition authorities. Some are ongoing and should not lead to adverse material consequences for the Group.

The Group's Legal Department identifies all risks and litigation (nature, amounts, procedure, risk level), regularly monitors developments and compares this information with that held by the Finance Department. The amount of provisions recognised for risks and litigation is analysed case by case, based on the positions of the plaintiffs, the assessment of the Group's legal advisors, and any decisions handed down by a court.

4.13.4. Provisions for onerous contracts

The provisions for onerous contracts amounted to €3.3 million as of 31 December 2024 compared to €14.3 million as of 31 December 2023. They consist of provisions for onerous contracts recognised during the purchase price allocation exercise of €1.0 million and of provisions recognised following impairment tests of €2.3 million, compared to, respectively, €1.9 million and €12.4 million as of 31 December 2023. The €10.1 million decrease as of 31 December 2024 in the provisions for onerous contracts following impairment tests is due to a €6.7 million reversal recorded over the period (see Note 4.4 "Goodwill, Property, plant and equipment (PP&E), intangible assets and right-of-use impairment tests").

4.13.5. Contingent assets and liabilities

Subsequent to a risk analysis, the Group deemed that it was not necessary to recognise a provision with respect to some ongoing proceedings regarding competition disputes, or tax disputes or the terms and conditions governing the implementation or awarding of contracts.

Concerning contingent liabilities, it should be noted that on 12 April 2022, the Group received from the Competition Authority a "Notification of grievances relating to practices implemented in the outdoor advertising sector in France" and submitted its observations within the two-month period allowed. Once the Competition Authority has analysed these comments, it will produce a report on which the Group will have another two months to comment before the matter is referred to the Competition Authority. However, to date, the Competition Authority has still not produced this report due to our ongoing dispute.

Indeed, in parallel with the proceedings on the merits, a dispute arose relating to the downgrading of extremely confidential information of JCDecaux, which the French Competition Authority carried out in an inappropriate manner. Since April 2022, this dispute has given rise to various proceedings before the judicial and administrative courts, including the referral by the Council of State to the Court of Conflicts. Since May 2022, all decisions taken by the Court of Appeal or the Court of Cassation have been favourable to JCDecaux. To date, two proceedings are still ongoing, one before the Court of Appeal, the results of which should be known in the first half of 2025 and the other before the Court of Cassation, the result of which should be known in the second half of 2025 at best when the latter will have ruled on an appeal by the French Competition Authority.

In any event, the Group will continue to cooperate with the Competition Authority and to provide it with all necessary explanations to dispel its concerns, but it considers the complaint to be unfounded and has therefore not considered it appropriate to make a provision.

Subject to exceptions, no provision for dismantling costs regarding panels in respect of the Billboard business is recognised in the Group financial statements. Indeed, the Group deems that the dismantling obligation of the Billboard business corresponds to a contingent liability, as either the obligation is hardly likely or it cannot be estimated with sufficient reliability due to the uncertainty of the probable dismantling date that influences the discounting impact. Regarding panels that resemble street furniture, large format digital screens and the most spectacular advertising structures, the unitary dismantling cost of which is greater than for dismantling traditional panels, as well as for the dismantling programme related to panels for which a high probability of dismantling exists in the short term and at our initiative, the Group had estimated the overall non-discounted dismantling cost at €16.1 million as of 31 December 2024, compared to €12.3 million as of 31 December 2023. In exceptional cases where a short-term dismantling obligation is identified, the Group recognises a provision for dismantling costs for panels in the Billboard business.

(*) Cash, cash equivalents and treasury financial assets are described in Note 4.10 "Managed cash".

The debts on commitments to purchase minority interests are recorded separately and therefore are not included in the financial debt. They are described in Note 4.15 "Debt on commitments to purchase non-controlling interests".

Financial instruments are described in Note 4.17 "Financial instruments".

The reconciliation of the variance in gross financial debt on the statement of financial position with the amounts on the statement of cash flows is detailed in Note 6.4 "Reconciliation between the cash flows and the change in gross financial debt".

The debt analyses presented hereafter are based on the economic financial debt, which is equal to the gross financial debt on the balance sheet adjusted by the amortised cost impact:

As of 31 December 2024, the Group's financial debt mainly includes the debt carried by JCDecaux SE:

• bonds totalling €1,699.9 million:
  • €599.9 million issued in 2020 maturing in April 2028
  • €500 million issued in 2022 maturing in February 2030
  • €600 million issued in 2023 maturing in January 2029
• €150 million bank loan set up in 2020 maturing in April 2025.

The average effective interest rate of JCDecaux SE's debts was 3.1% for fiscal year 2024.

JCDecaux SE also holds an undrawn committed revolving credit facility of €825.0 million maturing in June 2026, which includes a €100 million swingline for same-day short-term drawdowns.

If JCDecaux's credit rating goes below Baa3 (Moody's) or BBB- (Standard and Poor's), the revolving credit facility and the €150.0 million bank loan carried by JCDecaux SE require compliance with the ratio: net financial debt/operating margin strictly below 3.5. As of 31 December 2024, JCDecaux SE complies with this covenant, with a ratio significantly under the required limit. JCDecaux SE is rated "Baa3" with a stable outlook by Moody's and "BBB-" with a stable outlook by Standard and Poor's (Moody's last rating is dated 21 February 2025, and that of Standard and Poor's 23 May 2024).

The Group's financial debt also includes:

• borrowings from credit institutions held by JCDecaux SE's subsidiaries, for €160.6 million
• miscellaneous borrowings for €48.9 million, mainly including borrowings from JCDecaux SE and its subsidiaries towards the Group's joint ventures
• accrued interest for €48.5 million.

4.15. Debt on commitments to purchase non-controlling interests

The debt on commitments to purchase non-controlling interests amounted to €118.5 million as of 31 December 2024, compared to €110.2 million as of 31 December 2023. It mainly relates to a put option on a company in Europe, exercisable in 2029 and for which the debt is calculated based on an estimation of the present value of the contractual exercise price.

The €8.3 million increase in the debt on commitments to purchase non-controlling interests between 31 December 2023 and 31 December 2024 includes the revaluation and discounting impacts of debts on commitments to purchase non-controlling interests.

4.17. Financial instruments

The Group uses financial instruments mainly for foreign exchange rate hedging purposes. The use of these financial instruments mainly concerns JCDecaux SE.

Foreign exchange rate financial instruments

The Group's foreign exchange risk exposure is mainly generated by its business in foreign countries. However, because of its operating structure, the JCDecaux Group is not very vulnerable to currency fluctuations in terms of cash flows, as the subsidiaries in each country do business in their own country and inter-company services and purchases are relatively insignificant. Accordingly, most of the foreign exchange risk stems from the translation of local-currency-denominated accounts to the euro-denominated consolidated accounts.

The foreign exchange risk on flows is mainly related to financial activities (refinancing and recycling of cash with foreign subsidiaries pursuant to the Group's cash centralisation policy). The Group hedges this risk mainly with short-term currency swaps. Consequently, as of 31 December 2024 the average exchange rates of the foreign exchange financial instruments were close to the exchange rates at closing.

As a result of inter-company loans and borrowings elimination upon consolidation, only the value of the hedging instruments is presented in the assets or liabilities of the statement of financial position.

As of 31 December 2024, the main foreign exchange rate financial instruments contracted by the Group were as follows (net positions):

As of 31 December 2024, the foreign exchange financial instruments had a market value of €5.2 million compared to €2.4 million as of 31 December 2023.

The ineffective portion of cash flow hedges was zero as of 31 December 2024 and 31 December 2023.

4.18. Trade and other payables (current liabilities)

In million euros	31/12/2024	31/12/2023

TOTAL	1,239.4	1,230.6

Operating liabilities have a maturity of one year or less.

The €8.9 million increase as of 31 December 2024 is mainly due to flows from operating activities for €17.0 million, to currency effects for €7.7 million, to changes in scope for €2.4 million, to a variation of acquisitions of intangible and tangible assets payables for €0.3 million, partially offset by reclassifications for €(18.0) million, from acquisitions of intangible assets payables to intangible assets following a contract renegotiation in Asia.

Rent and fees

In 2024, rent and fees broke down as follows:

In million euros	RENT AND FEES CORE BUSINESS(1)	NON-CORE BUSINESS RENTS(1) & (2)
Variable lease expenses	(486.1)
Short-term lease expenses	(22.0)	(4.2)
Low-value lease expenses	(14.6)	(5.9)
Fixed lease expenses on contracts with substantive substitution right clauses	(368.3)
TOTAL	(891.0)	(10.1)

(1) Core business rents are related to location lease contracts for advertising structures and non-core business rents are related to real estate and vehicle rentals.

(2) Included in the "Other net operational expenses" line.

Variable expenses are determined based on contractual terms and conditions: rent and fees that fluctuate according to revenue levels are considered variable expenses. In 2024 and 2023, in accordance with the recommendations of the amendment to IFRS 16, these variable expenses benefitted from the favourable effect of the extinguishment of lease liabilities in line with the negotiation of fixed and minimum guaranteed rents for periods ending at the latest before June 2022, except contracts with a force majeure clause. This favourable effect is included in the "Gains and losses on lease contracts" items in statement of cash flows. Very few renegotiations of guaranteed minimums have been recognised in 2023 and 2024 as a deduction from variable expenses.

The sensitivity of variable expenses to changes in revenue is as follows:

Two sensitivity tests were done on variable lease expenses excluding reliefs obtained:

• the first considered a 1% rise in revenue on the leases concerned
• the second considered a 1% fall in revenue on the leases concerned.

These tests were run on the major leases representing 59.1% of the Group's variable lease expenses.

The results were as follows:

• a 1% rise in revenue on these leases would increase variable lease expenses by €5.4 million / 1.8% on variable lease expenses.
• a 1% fall in revenue on these leases would reduce variable lease expenses by €5.2 million / 1.8% on variable lease expenses.

In 2023, rent and fees broke down as follows:

In million euros	RENT AND FEES CORE BUSINESS(1)	NON-CORE BUSINESS RENTS(1) & (2)
Variable lease expenses	(416.0)
Short-term lease expenses	(70.9)	(4.7)
Low-value lease expenses	(59.3)	(6.5)
Fixed lease expenses on contracts with substantive substitution right clauses	(157.5)
TOTAL	(703.7)	(11.2)

(1) Core business rents are related to location lease contracts for advertising structures and non-core business rents are related to real estate and vehicle rentals.

(2) Included in the "Other net operational expenses" line.

In 2023, the P&L impact regarding changes in core business leases amounted to €72.3 million. It resulted in particular from the removal from the scope IFRS 16 of contracts in the United States and Asia.

In 2024, other management expenses for €(25.2) million included acquisition costs of €(7.4) million, restructuring costs of €(5.2) million and various non-current charges of €(12.5) million.

In 2023, other management expenses for €(33.1) million mainly included acquisition costs of €(4.0) million, restructuring costs of €(9.1) million and various non-current charges of €(19.8) million including charges relating to the end of contracts in Asia for €(12.7) million.

The €5.2 million improvement in net financial income is mainly due to the decrease in interest expense on IFRS 16 lease liabilities as well as an improvement in foreign exchange income, a decrease in net discounting expenses and positive one-off effects. This effect was partially offset by an impairment loss of €(22.6) million recorded on a loan related to the group's investment in Clear Media in China.

The cost of net debt is stable in 2024 compared to 2023.

In 2024, following the finalisation of the purchase price allocation for IGP SPA, a negative goodwill was recorded for €2.6 million

In 2024, an impairment loss was recognised on associates for €(5.9) million. This impairment loss is recorded in the balance sheet under "Other financial assets", in counterpart of the net investment of the impaired associated entity for which the value on the line "Investments under the equity method" is zero .

No impairment on joint ventures has been recognised in 2024.

In 2023, a negative goodwill of €8.4 million was recorded following the acquisition of IGP SPA (formerly Clear Channel Italy) by IGP Decaux Spa (joint venture).

No impairment on associates and joint ventures has been recognised in 2023.

The information related to joint ventures and associates is presented in Note 11 "Information on joint ventures" and in Note 12 "Information on associates".

5.6. Headcount

As of 31 December 2024, the Group's payroll comprised 11,434 employees, compared to 11,096 employees as of 31 December 2023. These figures do not include the share of employees from joint ventures representing 592 and 582 employees respectively as of 31 December 2024 and 31 December 2023.

The breakdown of the share of employees for the years 2024 and 2023 is as follows:

7. FINANCIAL RISKS

The Group is exposed to various financial risks (especially liquidity and financing risks, interest rate risk, foreign exchange rate risk and risks related to financial management, particularly counterparty risk). The Group's objective is to minimise such risks by choosing appropriate financial policies. The Group may nevertheless need to manage residual positions. This strategy is monitored and managed centrally by a dedicated team within the Group Finance Department. Risk management policies and hedging strategies are approved by Group management.

7.1. Risks relating to the business and risks management policies

The Group's financing strategy consists of:

• Centralising financing at JCDecaux SE parent company level. Subsidiaries are therefore primarily financed through direct or indirect loans granted by JCDecaux SE to its subsidiaries. However, the Group may use external financing for certain subsidiaries, (i) depending on the tax, currency or regulatory environment; (ii) for subsidiaries not wholly owned by the Group; or (iii) for historical reasons (financing already in place when the subsidiary joined the Group);
• Having available funding sources that (i) are diversified; (ii) have a term consistent with the maturity of its assets; and (iii) are flexible, in order to cover the Group's growth and the investment and business cycles;
• Having permanent access to a liquidity reserve such as committed credit facilities;
• Minimising the risk of renewal of financing sources by staggering instalments;
• Optimising financing margins through the early renewal of loans that are approaching maturity, or by refinancing certain financing sources when market conditions are favourable;
• Optimising the cost of net debt by recycling as much as possible excess cash generated by different Group entities, in particular by repatriating the cash to JCDecaux SE through loans or dividend payments.

As of 31 December 2024, 92% of the Group's financial debt was carried by JCDecaux SE with an average maturity of approximately 3.8 years.

The Group generates significant operating cash flows which allow it to self-finance organic growth.

As of 31 December 2024, the Group has €1,348.7 million in cash, cash equivalents and treasury financial assets (see Note 4.10 "Managed cash") and an undrawn committed revolving credit facility of €825.0 million maturing June 2026, which includes a €100 million swingline for same-day short-term drawdowns.

JCDecaux SE's financing sources are committed, but some of them require compliance with a ratio if JCDecaux's credit rating goes below Baa3 (Moody's) or BBB_ (Standard and Poor's), for which the calculation is based on the consolidated financial statements.

If JCDecaux's credit rating goes below Baa3 (Moody's) or BBB- (Standard and Poor's), the revolving credit facility and the €150 million bank loan carried by JCDecaux SE require compliance with the ratio: net financial debt/operating margin strictly below 3.5. As of 31 December 2024, JCDecaux SE complies with this covenant, with a ratio significantly under the required limit.

JCDecaux SE is rated "Baa3" with a stable outlook by Moody's and "BBB-" with a stable outlook by Standard and Poor's (Moody's last rating is dated 21 February 2025, and that of Standard and Poor's 23 May 2024).

The Group holds cash in some countries from which funds cannot be immediately repatriated, mainly because of regulatory restrictions. Nevertheless, the Group receives dividends on a regular basis from most of its subsidiaries located in these countries, and the cash is used for local purposes.

Interest rate risk

As of 31 December 2024, 86% of the Group's total economic financial debt is fixed rate, with an average maturity of JCDecaux SE's debt of 3.8 years and no major refinancing needs before 2028 (see details in Note 4.14 "Financial debt"). The Group is therefore not very sensitive to a significant change in interest rate on its gross debt.

Regarding investments, JCDecaux SE adjusts its interest rate mix on its investment portfolio, focusing on either fixed or floating rate depending on its investment perspective and market conditions.

The following table breaks down financial assets and liabilities by interest rate maturity as of 31 December 2024:

			31/12/2024
In million euros		≤ 1 year	1 year to 5 years	> 5 years	Total
JCDecaux SE borrowings		(232.5)	(1,199.9)	(500.0)	(1,932.4)
Other borrowings		(156.3)	(18.7)	(0.5)	(175.5)
Bank overdrafts		(9.4)			(9.4)
FINANCIAL LIABILITIES	(1)	(398.3)	(1,218.6)	(500.5)	(2,117.3)
Cash and cash equivalents		1,262.3			1,262.3
Treasury financial assets		86.4			86.4
Other financial assets		65.2			65.2
FINANCIAL ASSETS	(2)	1,414.0	-	-	1,414.0
NET POSITION	(3)=(1)+(2)	1,015.7	(1,218.6)	(500.5)	(703.4)

For fixed-rate assets and liabilities, the maturity indicated is that of assets and liabilities.

For floating rate assets and liabilities, the rates are adjusted every one, three or six months. The maturity indicated is therefore less than one year regardless of the maturity date.

Foreign exchange risk

Despite its presence in more than 80 countries, the JCDecaux Group is relatively immune to currency fluctuations in terms of cash flows, as subsidiaries in each country do business in their own country and inter-company services and purchases are relatively insignificant.

However, as the Group's presentation currency is the euro, the Group's consolidated financial statements are affected by the conversion into euros of financial statements denominated in local currencies.

In 2024, net income generated in currencies other than the euro accounted for 50.2% of the Group's consolidated net income.

Based on 2024 actual data, the table below details the Group's consolidated net income and reserves exposure to a (10%) change in the foreign exchange rates of each of the most represented currencies in the Group, those being the American dollar, the British Pound Sterling, the Brazilian real, the Emirati dirham, the Australian dollar, the Hong Kong dollar and the Chinese yuan:

	AMERICAN DOLLAR	POUND STERLING	BRAZILIAN REAL	UAE DIRHAM	AUSTRALIAN DOLLAR	HONG KONG DOLLAR	CHINESE YUAN
Share of the currencies in consolidated net income	16.3%	13.6%	4.4%	7.8%	(6.3%)	(6.8%)	(2.4%)
Impact on consolidated income	(1.7%)	(1.4%)	(0.4%)	(0.8%)	0.6%	0.7%	0.2%
Impact on consolidated reserves	(0.1%)	(1.3%)	0.1%	(0.1%)	(2.3%)	(1.6%)	(0.6%)

As of 31 December 2024, the Group held mainly foreign exchange currency hedges on financial transactions.

As part of the application of its centralised financing strategy, the Group has mainly implemented short-term foreign exchange currency swaps to hedge inter-company loans and borrowings transactions. The Group can decide not to hedge some of the foreign exchange risks generated by inter-company transactions when hedging arrangements are (i) too costly, (ii) not available, or (iii) when loan and borrowings amounts are too small.

As of 31 December 2024, the Group considers that its earnings and financial position would not be materially affected by currency fluctuations.

7.2. Risks related to financial management

Risks related to financial instruments

The Group uses financial instruments only to hedge foreign exchange risk.

Risks related to credit rating

JCDecaux SE is rated "Baa3" with a stable outlook by Moody's and "BBB-" with a stable outlook by Standard & Poor's as of the date of publication of these Notes.

Bonds issued by the Group for a total amount of €1,699.9 million include in their terms and conditions a change of control clause giving bond holders the possibility to request early repayment in the event of a change of control, when accompanied by a downgrade of the credit rating to speculative grade or a credit rating exit.

If JCDecaux's credit rating goes below Baa3 (Moody's) or BBB- (Standard and Poor's), the €825 million revolving credit facility and the €150 million bank loan carried by JCDecaux SE require compliance with the ratio: net financial debt/operating margin strictly below 3.5. As of 31 December 2024, JCDecaux SE complies with this covenant, with a ratio significantly under the required limit.

The Group's other primary financing sources (financing raised by the parent company), together with the main hedging arrangements, are not subject to early termination in the event of a downgrade of the Group's credit rating.

Counterparty risk

The Group's counterparty risk relates to the investment of the

Management of cash and treasury financial assets

As of 31 December 2024, the Group had €1,348.7 million of cash, cash equivalents and treasury financial assets, which include €1,262.3 million of cash and cash equivalents (including €1,149.4 million in cash equivalents) and €86.4 million of treasury financial assets. €3.3 million of the total cash and cash equivalents are invested in guarantees.

Management of equity and gearing ratio

The Group is not subject to any external requirements in terms of equity management.

Group's excess cash with its banking partners and to other financial transactions mainly carried out by JCDecaux SE (via unused committed credit facilities and hedging commitments). The Group's policy is to minimise this risk by (i) reducing excess cash within the Group by centralising insofar as possible the subsidiaries' available cash at JCDecaux SE level, (ii) obtaining prior authorisation from the Group's Finance Department before opening bank accounts, (iii) selecting banks in which JCDecaux SE and its subsidiaries can make deposits, (iv) and monitoring this counterparty risk on a regular basis.

Customer counterparty risk

The counterparty risk in respect of trade receivables is covered by the necessary provisions if needed. The net book value of trade receivables is detailed in Note 4.9 "Trade and other receivables". The Group maintains a low level of dependence on any particular client, as no single client represents more than 3.3% of the Group's revenue.

Risk related to securities and term deposits

The Group's excess cash may be invested in short-term investments or in short-term deposits. In the case of short-term investments, the investments consist of money market securities. These instruments are invested on a short-term basis, earn interest at money market benchmark rates, are liquid, and involve only limited counterparty risk.

The Group's policy is not to own shares or negotiable securities other than money market securities and its own shares. Consequently, the Group considers its risk exposure arising from shares and negotiable securities as very low.

8. ENVIRONMENTAL RISKS

The Group ensures the identification, prevention and proper control of the environmental risks to which it is exposed to ensure the sustainable development of its activities.

Sustainable Development has been integrated into the Group's risk mapping since 2009. Environmental risks are thus assessed during the annual review exercise. Climate risks are now part of the exogenous risks identified as major risks in the Group's risk mapping.

In 2024, as a prerequisite of the CSRD (Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive), the Group implemented a double materiality analysis to identify the material impacts, risks, and opportunities for the Group. Climate change risks and impacts were identified as material for JCDecaux.

As JCDecaux operates in the OOH sector, the environmental risks associated with its street furniture, transport advertising and largeformat billboard activities remain limited in the short term and, as of 31 December 2024, JCDecaux has not identified any significant risks in environmental matters likely to be provisioned in its accounts.

Established on all continents in more than 80 countries and 3,894 cities with more than 10,000 inhabitants, the Group is likely to see its local activities impacted by the main effects of climate change: increasingly frequent extreme events, a rise in sea levels, but also warmer temperatures and the scarcity of water resources. However, the very broad geographical distribution of its activities greatly limits any risk of significant financial impact.

In a proactive approach, the Group initiated, in collaboration with a consulting firm, a study aimed at assessing climate risks and opportunities, both transition risks (political, legal, technological, and market) and physical risks related to climate change. JCDecaux thus launched in 2023 the construction of relevant climate scenarios aligned with the recommendations of the TCFD (Taskforce on Climate-related Financial Disclosures) with the dual objective of comparing its Climate Strategy and rethinking certain operations and offers with regard to the climate challenge. This work will continue in 2025 with a more precise assessment of the qualitative and financial impacts for each of these risks.

To reduce its carbon footprint and address the risks of climate change, JCDecaux has adopted a reduction trajectory based on science-based targets through the Science-Based Targets initiative (SBTi)(1) .

In June 2024, JCDecaux's carbon reduction targets were reviewed and validated by the SBTi. The SBTi validation team confirmed that the short-term targets for scopes 1 and 2 are in line with a 1.5°C trajectory, and that the long-term targets for scopes 1, 2, and 3 are aligned with 1.5°C mitigation pathways to achieve Net Zero Carbon by 2050.

The short-term and long-term targets are detailed below:

• By 2030: reduce scopes 1 and 2 emissions by at least 72.8%, and scope 3 emissions by 46.2% in absolute terms vs. 2019 (marketbased)(2);
• By 2050: reduce scopes 1, 2 and 3 emissions by at least 90% in absolute terms vs. 2019 (market-based).

This work to reduce its energy impact is reflected in concrete actions such as:

• The performance of life cycle analysis of its furniture to identify its main environmental impacts, the application of eco-design principles and the refurbishment of devices at the end of contracts, thus complying with the principles of the circular economy;
• The choice of the most environmentally-friendly technologies for analogue furniture, by replacing existing lighting with LED lighting and smart lighting solutions, has enabled JCDecaux to reduce the electricity consumption of its 2m² analogue furniture by an average of 60% over the past 10 years (light intensity modulation system, night-time/off-peak hours extinguishing system, installation of presence detectors in shelters);
• The gradual transition to a zero-emission fleet for its operating agents;
• Coverage of its electricity consumption by electricity from renewable sources: Since 2022, JCDecaux has been covering 100% of its electricity consumption annually with renewable energy, in accordance with the Group's commitment made in 2014 and renewed in 2019 when it joined RE100. By committing to multi-year agreements with certain renewable electricity producers, JCDecaux continues to support a sustainable energy transition. In 2024, 80% of the volumes purchased were managed by the Group to ensure its commitment. In France, JCDecaux signed a 20-year physical PPA (Power Purchase Agreement) to supply approximately 20% of its electricity consumption, with effective implementation starting in January 2025.

(1) The Science Based Targets initiative, also known as the SBT or SBTi, is a partnership between the CDP, the United Nations Global Compact, the World Resources Institute and the World Wide Fund for Nature which encourages companies to commit to targets reducing greenhouse gas emissions compatible with the objective of 1.5°C maximum warming. (2) "Market-based": Scope 2 emissions from which emissions covered by renewable energy certificates are deducted. The methodology for calculating "market-based" emissions is carried out using national emission factors to ensure a consistent calculation across all our geographies, as residual mix emission factors are not systematically available.

9. COMMENTS ON OFF-BALANCE SHEET COMMITMENTS

9.1. Commitments on securities and other commitments

In million euros	31/12/2024	31/12/2023
COMMITMENTS GIVEN(1)
Business guarantees	609.3	1,440.9
Other guarantees	54.5	43.8
Pledges, mortgages and collateral	3.5	5.6
Commitments on securities	6.8	11.5

COMMITMENTS RECEIVED
Commitments on securities (call options received)	13.0	14.1
Credit facilities	882.9	852.7
TOTAL	895.9	866.8

(1) Excluding the commitments under leases signed but not started and excluding the commitments in advertising space provision contracts with substantive substitution rights.

"Business guarantees" are granted mainly by JCDecaux SE and JCDecaux North America Inc. As such, JCDecaux SE and JCDecaux North America Inc. guarantee the performance of contracts entered into by subsidiaries, either directly to third parties, or by counterguaranteeing guarantees granted by banks or insurance companies. The decrease of the period is mainly due to contract renegotiations in China for €0.8 billion.

"Other guarantees" include securities, endorsements and other guarantees such as, notably, (i) JCDecaux SE's counter-guarantees of credit facilities granted by banks, and (ii) other commitments such as guarantees covering payments to suppliers and guarantees given in the context of litigation.

"Pledges, mortgages and collateral" mainly comprise cash amounts given in guarantee.

"Commitments on securities" are granted and received primarily as part of external growth transactions.

Moreover, under certain advertising contracts, JCDecaux North America Inc., directly and indirectly through its subsidiaries and its joint venture partners, have granted, under the relevant agreements, reciprocal put/call options in connection with respective ownership in their shared companies.

Lastly, as part of agreements between shareholders, JCDecaux SE can grant or receive calls in the event that either party's contractual clauses are breached. Under partnership agreements, the Group and its partners benefit from pre-emptive rights and sometimes rights to purchase, tag along or drag along, which the Group does not consider as commitments given or received. Moreover, the Group does not mention the commitments that are subject to exercise conditions, thereby limiting the likelihood of any occurrence.

Credit facilities include the committed revolving credit facility secured by JCDecaux SE for €825.0 million and committed credit facilities granted to subsidiaries for €57.9 million.

9.2. Commitments to purchase assets

Commitments to purchase property, plant and equipment and intangible assets totalled €423.8 million as of 31 December 2024 compared to €389.6 million as of 31 December 2023.

9.3. Commitments under leases signed but not started

TOTAL	16.4	28.4

These commitments are recognised as a liability under IFRS 16 at the start date of the lease.

9.4. Commitments in advertising space contracts provision with substantive substitution rights

In the Street furniture, Transport and Billboard businesses, some contracts include a substantive substitution right on advertising spaces in favour of the contractor. As such, these contracts are considered to be service contracts excluded from the scope of IFRS 16 application.

The amount of commitments given on these types of contract and for those beginning after 1 January 2019, totalled €3,082.7 million as of 31 December 2024 compared to €2,338.1 million as of 31 December 2023 (amounts are neither inflated nor discounted). The increase of €744.6 million is due to new contracts, modifications and extensions for €1,097.3 million and a currency effect for €28.7 million, partially offset by payments for €(329.2) million and contract terminations and modifications for €(52.2) million.

STATUTORY AUDITORS' REPORT ON THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

This is a translation into English of the statutory auditors' report on the consolidated financial statements of the Company issued in French and it is provided solely for the convenience of English-speaking users.

This statutory auditors' report includes information required by European regulations and French law, such as information about the appointment of the statutory auditors or verification of the information concerning the Group presented in the management report and other documents provided to shareholders.

This report should be read in conjunction with, and construed in accordance with, French law and professional auditing standards applicable in France.

For the year ended December 31st , 2024

To the annual general meeting of JCDecaux SE,

Opinion

In compliance with the engagement entrusted to us by your annual general meeting, we have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of JCDecaux SE for the year ended December 31st , 2024.

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, 2024 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.

Basis for opinion

Audit Framework

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.

Independence

We conducted our audit engagement in compliance with independence requirements of the French Commercial Code (code de commerce) and the French Code of Ethics (code de déontologie) for statutory auditors for the period from January 1st, 2024 to the date of our report and specifically we did not provide any prohibited non-audit services referred to in Article 5(1) of Regulation (EU) No 537/2014.

Justification of Assessments – Key Audit Matters

In accordance with the requirements of Articles L.821-53 and R.821-180 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 our 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.

Accounting treatment of leases

Risk identified

Your Group has applied IFRS 16 "Leases" January 1, 2019, whereby lessees use the same recognition model for all leases with the recognition of a right-of-use asset and a lease liability. Under this standard, a contract is a lease, or contains a lease component, if it grants the right to the lessee to control the use of an identified asset (mainly advertising space in the case of your Group) for a period in exchange for payment. Contracts providing substantive rights of substitution of advertising space to the lessor are excluded from the standard.

The conditions of application of IFRS 16 are described in Note 1.11 "Leases" to the consolidated financial statements. Thus, as at December 31, 2024, the right-of-use assets and the lease liabilities in your company's consolidated financial statements amount respectively to € 1,955m and to € 2,337m.

We considered the accounting treatment of leases to be a key audit matter due to the number and importance of these contracts for your Group, the significant impact of this standard on the consolidated financial statements, the accounting methods applied and the high level of judgment required by your Group's Management to determine the assumptions adopted (the substantive nature of the lessors' rights of substitution, the effective term of the leases, and the determination of funding rates).

Our response

As part of our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our work notably consisted in:

• Familiarizing ourselves with the procedures set up by your Group to identify and account for leases;
• Assessing the relevance of the methods used to determine the main assumptions underlying the determination of the right-of-use assets and the lease liabilities;
• Assessing the relevance of the analyses performed by your Group on the substantive nature of the rights of substitution granted to lessors;
• Assessing the correct application of IFRS 16 and its amendments;
• Testing the reliability of the information system dedicated to the management of the leases concerned by the application of IFRS 16 with the assistance of our experts;
• Comparing, through sampling:
  • the data enteredin the information system to determine the assets and liabilities relating to leases, based on the underlyingcontractual documents;
  • the criteria taken into account by Management to determine the effective rental period for contracts with tacit renewal and contracts with termination and renewal options;
  • the data used to determine the financing rates with the market data;
• Assessing the appropriateness of the disclosures in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.

Valuation of goodwill, other intangible assets, PP&E, right-of-use assets and equity-accounted investments

Risk identified

As at December 31, 2024, the net carrying amount of goodwill, other intangible assets, PP&E, right-of-use assets and equity-accounted investments amounted to € 5,943m.

Your Group performs impairment tests at the level of the cash-generating units (CGUs) corresponding to:

• The operating entities for tangible and intangible assets, rights-of-use and equity-accounted investments,
• And at the level of each group of CGUs the scope of which is determined either at the level where the operating segments and the geographical area meet, or based on specific CGU groups (Airports sector, Pacific, France Roadside and USA Roadside areas) for goodwill.

The impairment testing methods used by your Group are described in Notes 1.10 and 1.12 to the consolidated financial statements.

These impairment tests constitute a key audit matter due to the importance of the assets concerned in the consolidated financial statements and the estimates and judgments required for their valuation. They use forecast data specific to each operating segment to determine the recoverable amount. These data include management's view of the profitability outlook and assumptions as described in note 1.10 "Impairment of intangible assets, property, plant and equipment, right-of-use assets and goodwill" in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.

Our response

Our audit procedures notably consisted in:

• Familiarizing ourselves with the processes and analyses performed by your Group for the purpose of these valuations;
• Assessing the compliance of the methodology implemented to perform the impairment tests with IAS 36;
• Reconciling the net asset values of the assets subject to impairment tests with the accounts;
• Verifying, through sampling, the arithmetic accuracy of the model used to determine values in use;
• Analyzing the reasonableness of the main assumptions used based on discussion with the Finance Management of your group and by comparison with the data used for previous impairment tests as well as the historical performance of the subsidiaries concerned;
• Assessing the reasonableness of the discount rate, long-term growth rate and renewal rate of the contracts;
• Recalculating discount rates and compare them with Group calculations;
• Performing sensitivity analyses on the main assumptions used;
• Assessing the appropriateness of the disclosures in the Notes to the consolidated financial statements.

Specific verifications

We have also performed, in accordance with professional standards applicable in France, the specific verifications required by French laws and regulations of the information given in the Executive Board's Group management report.

We have no matters to report as to its fair presentation and its consistency with the consolidated financial statements.

Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements

Format of presentation of the consolidated financial statements intended to be included in the annual financial report

We have also verified, in accordance with the professional standard applicable in France relating to the procedures performed by statutory auditors regarding the annual and consolidated financial statements prepared in the European single electronic format, that the preparation of the consolidated 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 Chairman of the Executive Board, complies with the single electronic format defined in Commission DelegatedRegulation (EU) No. 2019/815 of 17 December 2018. Regarding consolidated financial statements, our work includes verifying that the tagging thereof complies with the format defined in the above-mentioned regulation.

On the basis of our work, we conclude that the preparation 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 consolidated financial statements that will ultimately be included by your Company in the annual financial report filed with the AMF (Autorité des marchés financiers) agree with those on which we have performed our work.

Appointment of the Statutory Auditors

We were appointed as statutory auditors of JCDecaux SE by the Annual General Meeting held on May 7, 2024 for Forvis Mazars SA and on May 10, 2006 for KPMG SA.

As at 31 December 2024, Forvis Mazars was in its first year of total uninterrupted engagement and KPMG SA was in its nineteenth year of total uninterrupted engagement.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Consolidated Financial Statements

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 approved by the Board of Directors.

Statutory Auditors' Responbilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements

Objectives and audit approach

Our role is to issue a report on the consolidated financial statements. Our objective is to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statementsas a wholeare free frommaterial 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. 821-55 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:

• Identifies and assesses the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, designs and performs audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtains audit evidence considered to be sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for his opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
• Obtains an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the internal control.
• Evaluates the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by Management in the consolidated financial statements.
• Assesses the appropriateness of Management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. This assessment is based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of his audit report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern. If the statutory auditor concludes that a material uncertainty exists, there is a requirement to draw attention in the audit report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are not provided or inadequate, to modify the opinion expressed therein.
• Evaluates the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements and assesses whether these statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
• Obtains sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. The statutory auditor is responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audit of the consolidated financial statements and for the opinion expressed on these consolidated financial statements.

Report to the Audit Committee

We submit to the Audit Committee a report 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 significant deficiencies, if any, 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) No. 537/2014, confirming our independence within the meaning of the rules applicable in France as set out in particular in Articles L. 821-27 to L. 821-34 of the French Commercial Code (Code de commerce) and in the French Code of Ethics for Statutory Auditors (Code de déontologie de la profession de commissaire aux comptes). Where appropriate, we discuss with the Audit Committee the risks that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and the related safeguards
