NOTE 3 INFORMATION BY ACTIVITY AND GEOGRAPHICAL AREA

Business segments (Note 3.1)

The segment information is prepared on the basis of internal management data communicated to the Executive Committee, the Group's principal operational decision-making body.

The Group is organized around the following segments:

  • Network: The revenues for this segment, which includes the Passenger and Cargo network, primarily come from passenger transportation services on scheduled flights with the Group's airline code (excluding Transavia), including flights operated by other airlines under code-share agreements. They also include code-share revenues, revenues from excess baggage and airport services supplied by the Group to third-party airlines and services linked to IT systems. Network revenues also include freight carried on flights operated under the codes of the airlines within the Group and flights operated by other partner airlines under code-share agreements. Other cargo revenues are derived principally from the sale of cargo capacity to third parties and the transportation of shipments on behalf of the Group by other airlines;
  • Maintenance: Maintenance operating revenues are generated through maintenance services provided to other airlines and customers worldwide;
  • Transavia: The revenues from this segment come from the "leisure" activity realized by Transavia;
  • Other: The revenues from this segment come from various services provided by the Group and not covered by the three segments mentioned above.

The results of the business segments are those that are either directly attributable or that can be allocated on a reasonable basis to these business segments. Amounts allocated to business segments mainly correspond to the EBITDA, current operating income and to the income from operating activities. Other elements of the income statement are presented in the "non-allocated" column.

Inter-segment transactions are evaluated based on normal market conditions.

Geographical segments (Note 3.2)

RECONCILIATION OF THE NUMBER OF SHARES USED TO CALCULATE EARNINGS PER SHARE

Period from January 1 to March 31 2025 2024
Weighted average number of:
common shares issued
262,769,869 262,769,869
treasury stock held regarding stock option plan and other treasury stock
(111,642) (143,608)
Number of shares used to calculate basic earnings per share 262,658,227 262,626,261
Number of potentially dilutive shares 19,996,070 24,662,992
Number of ordinary and potential ordinary shares used to calculate
diluted earnings per share
282,654,297 287,289,253

As a reminder, following the repayment of € 452 million of OCEANE bonds on 25 March 2024, the number of potential dilutive shares linked to the outstanding OCEANE 2026 has therefore been decreased from 4,966,518 shares to 472,580 shares.

The remaining €48 million of bonds due March 25, 2026 have been repaid in cash on May, 10, 2024 under the conditions set out in the Term and Conditions of the said OCEANE 2026 for cancellation in accordance with the applicable law. These remaining bonds were repaid in advance. This residual redemption amount is equivalent of 2,654,941 of bonds.

There is therefore no outstanding OCEANE 2026 bonds.

The number of potential dilutive shares linked to the subordinated perpetual convertible bonds, convertible into new shares and/or exchangeable into existing shares is 19,996,070 shares.

The potential conversion of these two instruments and their impact on earnings have, nonetheless, not been taken into consideration as of March, 31, 2025 (As on March, 31, 2024) to determine diluted earning per share. Indeed, this would have had the effect of increasing the earning per share.

As of March, 31 2025, taking into account the above items, the basic earnings per share amounts to €(1.16) and the diluted earnings per share amounts to €(1.16).
