Paris, July 31, 2024
H1 2024 adjusted data
- Revenue: €13,047 million (+19%)
- Recurring operating income: €1,974 million (+41%), 15.1% of sales

The Board of Directors of Safran (Euronext Paris: SAF), under the Chairmanship of Ross McInnes, at their meeting in Paris on July 30, 2024, adopted and authorized the publication of Safran's financial statements and adjusted income statement for the six-month period ended June 30, 2024.
Foreword
- All figures in this press release represent adjusted data, except where noted. Please refer to the definitions and reconciliation between first-half 2024 consolidated income statement and adjusted income statement. Please refer to the definitions contained in the footnotes and in the Notes on page 10 of this press statement.
- Organic variations exclude changes in scope and currency impacts for the period.
CEO Olivier Andriès said: "Safran has made a strong start to the year with operating margin exceeding 15% of sales. This result is due primarily to the growth of aftermarket activity for engines and aircraft equipment, but also through reaching operating breakeven in aircraft interiors activities, with a substantial year-over-year improvement. Going forward, our primary objective is to manage continuously supplier performance in order to meet our customer commitments, particularly regarding new engine deliveries, and to mitigate any associated impacts. We are very confident in our ability to achieve our 2024 financial guidance, particularly for the operating result, with some pressure on cash flow notably related to the timing of advance payments."
Half-year 2024 results
Revenue
H1 2024 revenue stood at €13,047 million, up by 19.2% compared to H1 2023 (+18.7% on an organic basis). Change in scope was €48 million1 . Currency impact was €6 million, with an average €/\$ spot rate of 1.08 in H1 2024 (1.08 in H1 2023). €/\$ hedge rate in H1 2024 stood at 1.12 (1.13 in H1 2023).
As for organic revenue per division:
Propulsion was up by 14.0%.
Supported by strong air traffic momentum, civil aftermarket (in \$) increased by 29.9% (32.3% in Q2 2024). This growth is attributable to CFM56 spare parts sales but also to CFM rate per flight hour (RPFH) contracts, notably for LEAP (with no profit recognition). High-thrust engine activities also grew thanks to both spare parts and RPFH contracts.
664 LEAP engines were delivered compared to 785 in H1 2023 down (15)% (297 units in Q2 2024 down (29.1)%), due to persisting issues within the supply chain.
Military engine revenues decreased year-over-year reflecting planned lower M88 deliveries partially offset by a higher level of services.
Finally, helicopter engine revenue growth was led by OE, thanks to higher turbine deliveries (notably Arrius and Arriel). Services saw a moderate increase, primarily driven by MRO activities and per flight hour contracts. Ongoing supply chain constraints affected both OE deliveries and spare parts.
Equipment & Defense saw a solid 23.1% increase supported by all businesses, notably defense and landing systems activities.
Fueled by the continuous increase in air traffic and the widebody market recovery, aftermarket services were up by 18%, with growth across all activities, notably in landing systems and nacelles as well as for defense including sighting and navigation systems.
OE sales registered a 27% increase with higher volumes in nacelles (G700 entry into service, A320neo), landing gears (787, A320neo), electrical systems (787, A320neo) as well as in Avionics (FADEC for LEAP) and despite supply chain constraints. In defense activities, the substantial growth was primarily led by guidance systems, optronics and onboard systems.
Aircraft Interiors was up by 26.6% (albeit 14% below 2019 level), a significant growth demonstrating the appetite of airlines for cabin retrofit.
Aftermarket activities were particularly dynamic in both Cabin (mainly spare parts) and Seats (notably with Asian and US airlines), driven by the recovery of the widebody market and the positive momentum in air traffic.
OE sales growth is primarily attributed to Seats with the strong growth of Business class seat deliveries (750 units in H1 2024 vs 436 in H1 2023).
Research & Development
Total R&D, including R&D sold to customers, reached €936 million, compared with €862 million in H1 2023.
Self-funded R&D expenses before tax credits were up 12% at €646 million in H1 2024 including: Development expenses at €313 million (€313 million in H1 2023);
1 Divestment of Cargo & Catering in May 2023. Acquisition of Thales Aeronautical Electrical Systems activities in October 2023 and Air Liquide aeronautical oxygen and nitrogen activities in February 2024.
Research & Technology (R&T) self-funded expenses at €333 million (€262 million in H1 2023) mainly geared towards decarbonization through the RISE (Revolutionary Innovation for Sustainable Engines) technology development program.
The impact on recurring operating income of expensed R&D was €547 million (€473 million in H1 2023), with both higher capitalized R&D and related amortization, and representing 4.2% of sales (4.3% of sales in H1 2023).
Recurring operating income
In H1 2024, recurring operating income reached €1,974 million, representing a substantial increase of +41% (+39% organic). This robust performance was due to growth in services across the board and to OE ramp-up in Equipment & Defense and Aircraft Interiors. It includes scope changes of €(1) million and a favorable currency impact of €35 million.
Operating margin stood at 15.1% of sales, up 230bps (12.8% in H1 2023).
Per division:
Propulsion recurring operating income reached €1,285 million, up by +22% (+21% organic). Operating margin stood at 19.9%, up by 1.4pt, supported by strong civil aftermarket activity benefitting from higher spare parts sales for CFM56.
The anticipated decrease in M88 engine deliveries had an unfavorable impact on recurring operating income. Helicopter engines recurring operating income remained steady in H1 2024.
- Equipment & Defense recurring operating income stood at €657 million, +41% (+35% organic). At 12.7% of sales, operating margin increased by 1.3pt. The strong recurring operating income upswing was mainly attributable to higher OE volumes, in particular for Defense activities and to a lesser extent nacelles as well as growth in services notably landing gear and carbon brakes. OE for Aerosystems had a positive contribution thanks to Fluid and Fuel systems.
- Aircraft Interiors posted a positive recurring operating income of €10 million, representing a substantial improvement of €110 million from H1 2023.
Cabin's performance was supported by a good level of activity in services and to a lesser extent in OE deliveries.
Seats strongly improved in H1 2024 notably thanks to the contribution from services and higher volume. Ongoing efforts in the industrialization process continued to yield positive results in OE activities.
Additionally, Safran Passenger Innovations made a positive contribution to recurring operating income, largely due to in-flight entertainment (IFE) products.
Net income
In H1 2024, one-off items were €(24) million mainly impairment charges for one program and restructuration costs.
Net income was up by 37% at €1,432 million in H1 2024 (basic EPS of €3.37 and diluted EPS of €3.27), compared with €1,043 million in H1 2023 (basic EPS of €2.48 and diluted EPS of €2.40).
This includes:
- Financial expense of €(34) million, including positive financial interest of €84 million (returns on cash investments exceed cost of debt) and €(119) million exchange revaluation of positions in the balance sheet;
- Tax expense of €(435) million (22.7% apparent tax rate).
The reconciliation between H1 2024 consolidated income statement and adjusted income statement is provided and commented in the Notes on page 11.
Free cash flow
Free cash flow of €1,463 million was driven by the increase in cash flow from operations unfavorably impacted by working capital change and higher capital expenditures of €(757) million (€(600) million in H1 2023) directed notably towards OE and MRO production capacity and low carbon initiatives.
The negative impact of the working capital change (€(140) million) reflects inventory level build-up (OE deliveries lower than expected across the board notably LEAP), partly offset by customer advance payments (Rafale).
Net debt and financing
As of June 30, 2024, Safran's balance sheet exhibits a €895 million net cash position (vs. net cash of €374 million as at December 31, 2023), as a result of a strong free cash flow generation, partially offset by dividend payment (of which €911 million to shareholders of the parent company) and €560 million of share repurchases.
Cash and cash equivalent stood at €5,699 million, down from €6,676 million at the end of December 2023.
On February 9, 2024, Safran reimbursed with cash-in-hand the \$505 million matured last tranche of USPP notes issued in 2012. On April 11, 2024, Safran also reimbursed with cash-in-hand the €200 million Euro Private Placement issued in 2014.
On April 19, 2024, Safran extended by 1 more year the maturity of its revolving credit facility of €2 billion to May 4, 2029. As of June 30, 2024, the credit line remains undrawn.
On June 28, Safran proceeded with the early redemption of its bonds convertible into shares initially due 15 May 2027. In that respect, Safran delivered 9,314,153 existing treasury shares to bondholders who preferably exercised their conversion rights (ie. 98% of the bonds) and eventually paid back in cash €20 million. This soft call had a net debt positive impact of €961 million and no dilution impact on existing shareholders.
Currency hedges
The hedge book amounts to \$54.4 billion in June 2024, compared to \$51.7 billion in March 2024.
- 2024 is hedged: targeted hedge rate is \$1.12, for an estimated net exposure of \$12.0 billion.
- 2025 to 2027 are hedged: targeted hedge rate between \$1.12 and \$1.14, for an estimated net annual exposure of \$13.0 billion.
- 2028 is partially hedged: \$9.3 billion hedged out of an estimated net exposure of \$13.0 billion.
Share buyback
In H1 2024, Safran completed the purchase of c.2.9 million shares (€560 million worth of shares) to finalize the hedging of the potential dilution related to the 2028 OCEANEs and for long term incentive plans.
On June 28, 2024, Safran announced the launch of the €1.0 billion share buyback for cancellation to be carried out in 2024 and 2025. In that respect, the Group entered into an agreement for a first tranche for a maximum amount of €250 million to be completed no later than September 13, 2024.
Portfolio management
Collins Aerospace's actuation and flight control business
- o In June 2024, Safran was informed by the Italian government of its decision ultimately to approve the sale to Safran of Microtecnica S.r.l (the Italian assets).
- o In the United Kingdom, the Secretary of State in the Cabinet Office has reviewed the notification made under the National Security and Investment Act and has informed Safran that he will take no further action in relation to the proposed acquisition. This constitutes an unconditional clearance.
- o The completion of Collins Aerospace's actuation and flight control business acquisition still remains subject to obtaining other regulatory approvals, particularly with regard to merger control, and customary closing conditions.
Preligens
Safran signed on July 16, 2024 an agreement for the acquisition of Preligens shares, a leader in artificial intelligence (AI) for aerospace and defense, for an enterprise value of €220 million. The company develops complex algorithms and software to analyze and automatically detect and identify objects of military interest notably using commercial and government satellite images. Completion of this proposed acquisition remains subject to foreign investment approval. The closing is expected in the third quarter of 2024.
Full-year 2024 outlook confirmed
Safran expects to achieve for full-year 2024 (at constant scope of consolidation, adjusted data):
- Revenue around €27.4 billion;
- Recurring operating income close to €4.0 billion;
- Free cash flow around €3.0 billion, subject to schedule of some advance payments.
This outlook is based notably, but not exclusively, on the following assumptions, of which 2 are updated:
- LEAP engine deliveries: flat to 5% compared to 2023 (previously up by 10-15%);
- Civil aftermarket revenue (in USD): up mid-twenties (previously up by around 20%);
- €/\$ spot rate of 1.10;
- €/\$ hedge rate of 1.12.
The main risk factor remains the supply chain production capabilities.

Notes
Adjusted data:
To reflect the Group's actual economic performance and enable it to be monitored and benchmarked against competitors, Safran prepares an adjusted income statement in addition to its consolidated financial statements.
Readers are reminded that Safran:
- is the result of the May 11, 2005 merger of Sagem SA and Snecma, accounted for in accordance with IFRS 3, "Business Combinations" in its consolidated financial statements;
- recognizes, as of July 1, 2005, all changes in the fair value of its foreign currency derivatives in "Financial income (loss)", in accordance with the provisions of IFRS 9 applicable to transactions not qualifying for hedge accounting (see Note 2.f, "Translation of foreign currency transactions and foreign currency derivatives").
Safran's consolidated income statement has been adjusted for the impact of:
- purchase price allocations with respect to business combinations. Since 2005, this restatement concerns the amortization charged against intangible assets relating to aircraft programs remeasured at the time of the Sagem-Snecma merger. With effect from the first half 2010 interim financial statements, the Group decided to restate:
- the impact of purchase price allocations for business combinations, particularly amortization and depreciation charged against intangible assets and property, plant and equipment recognized or remeasured at the time of the transaction and amortized or depreciated over extended periods due to the length of the Group's business cycles, and the impact of remeasuring inventories, as well as
- gains on remeasuring any previously held equity interests in the event of step acquisitions or asset contributions to joint ventures;
- the mark-to-market of foreign currency derivatives, in order to better reflect the economic substance of the Group's overall foreign currency risk hedging strategy:
- revenue net of purchases denominated in foreign currencies is measured using the effective hedged rate, i.e., including the costs of the hedging strategy,
- all mark-to-market changes on instruments hedging future cash flows are neutralized.
The resulting changes in deferred tax have also been adjusted.
