Société anonyme with a share capital of €2,690,037,476 48, rue Albert Dhalenne 93400 Saint-Ouen-sur-Seine (France) Tel. : +33 (0)1 57 06 90 00 Fax : +33 (0)1 57 06 96 66 RCS : 389 058 447 Bobigny www.alstom.com
Management report on condensed interim consolidated financial statements, Half-year ended 30 September 2023
Alstom disclosed preliminary financial information for its first half of fiscal year 2023/24, ending September 30 2023, as well as an updated guidance regarding the full year 2023/24 (as disclosed in the press release dated 4 October 2023). Following this announcement, Alstom's share price has significantly decreased, leading to a market capitalization lower than the carrying amount of Alstom's net assets. As per IAS 36, this situation has been considered as a trigger event to reperform impairment test on goodwill (detailed in Note 11.1). The impairment test confirmed that the recoverable amount exceeds its carrying value at 30 September 2023, therefore no impairment loss was recognized on Goodwill over the period.
On other assets: technology and other intangible assets (amortised assets), as well as deferred taxes (see Note 8), impairment tests are reviewed at least annually and whenever events or circumstances indicate that they might be impaired. Based on its reasonable estimates, the visibility available and previous enlarged sensitivity analyses performed in March 2023, Alstom has not identified any trigger event indicating that any assets should be impaired at the end of September 2023.
The current economic and political context creates uncertainties on business activities (namely inflation, price volatility of certain commodities, energy, increases of interest rates, supply chain disruptions or electronic components shortage…). Nevertheless, the Group carefully follows and monitors the potential increase in its cost structures (raw materials prices, supply chain and wages inflation), being quite well protected (73% of the backlog being covered by price escalation clauses on global inflation - commodities, energy and labour indexes).
More than ever, decarbonization is at the heart of Alstom's strategy. The Group is reducing its own direct and indirect emissions (Scope 1 & 2) and is also committed to work with suppliers and customers (Scope 3) to contribute to Net Zero carbon in the mobility sector. Alstom CO2 emissions reduction targets had been validated on the 6th of July 2023 by the independent Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) as in line with requirements to reach Paris Agreement commitments.
The supply of electricity from renewable sources has also been expanded. Alstom signed a significant Power Purchase Agreement focused on solar development in Spain. The solar farm is expected to begin operations early 2025 with a 10-years contract. The project will cover the equivalent of 80% of Alstom's electricity consumption in Europe, so this is a major step in reaching our target of 100% electricity consumption from renewables.
Alstom's Corporate Social Responsibility performance is regularly evaluated by various rating agencies; the Group maintained its presence among the CAC40 ESG index for the 3rd consecutive year. Alstom improved is scoring to ECOVADIS questionnaire with a score of 77/100 and kept AA score with MSCI agency. Those results reflect its strong position and strategy on Sustainability.

Group's key performance indicators for the first half of fiscal year 2023/24:
(1) Non - GAAP. See definition page 16
(2) Based on Net profit from continuing operations, excluding amortisation expenses of the purchase price allocation, net of corresponding tax (3) Incl. Net profit from discontinued operations and excl. non-controlling interests
(4) Incl. PPA from Chinese joint ventures counted as share in net income of equity investees in the Notes for €(5) million
The aEBIT as a percentage of sales has progressed from 4.9% over the first semester of 2022/23 to 5.2% over the first semester of 2023/24, benefiting from synergies for 30bps, a steady reduction of low performing contracts for 40bps, an increased volume and favourable mix for 50bps, an improved indexation of our backlog for 20bps, partially offset by R&D acceleration for (30)bps and the negative gross margin impact related to the Aventra program stabilisation costs (80)bps.

The actual figures for orders received and sales of the first half of fiscal year 2022/23, and the backlog of 31 March 2023 are restated to reflect September 2023 exchange rates. This restatement showed an appreciation of the Euro against several currencies making up the Alstom portfolio for orders and sales for first half of 2022/23, and a depreciation of the Euro against several currencies for the backlog of 31 March 2023.
There are no significant changes in the consolidation scope between 31 March 2023 and 30 September 2023.
During the first half of fiscal year 2023/24, the Group witnessed significant commercial success across multiple geographies, notably in Europe, Asia/Pacific and in Americas, and product lines, mostly in Rolling Stock, Systems and Services. The recorded order intake stood at €8.4 billion, presenting a decrease of (16)% compared to the same period last fiscal year on an actual basis. This decrease is mostly driven by last year's landmark contract awarded by Landesanstalt Schienenfahrzeuge Baden Württemberg (SFBW) network in Germany of almost €2.5 billion. For the same period last fiscal year, Alstom reported an order intake of €10.1 billion.

Alstom received the following major orders during the first half of fiscal year 2023/24:
As of 30 September 2023, the backlog stood at €90.1 billion, providing the Group with strong visibility over future sales. This represents a 3% increase on both an actual basis and on an organic basis as compared to 31 March 2023. The increase of backlog is mostly driven by positive contract price adjustments.
The appreciation of several currencies against the Euro (EUR) since March 2023, mainly the US dollar (USD) and the Mexican peso (MXN) in Americas, positively impacted backlog for a total amount of €0.3 billion. This mainly affected the backlog of services and systems products.

In Europe, sales reached €4.9 billion, accounting for 57% of the Group's total sales and representing an increase of 2% on an actual basis. It was mainly driven by the continued execution of large rolling stock contracts, including the Coradia StreamTM trains in the Netherlands, the Regio 2N regional trains, the AveliaTM high-speed trains for SNCF as well as EMU trains for the Paris Metro for RATP in France, the Coradia StreamTM regional trains for Trenitalia in Italy, the ICE 4 trains for Deutsche Bahn in Germany, the AventraTM trains in the United Kingdom and the double-deck M7-type multifunctional coaches for SNCB in Belgium. The ramp-up of Services contracts in the United Kingdom has also been a strong contributor to this growth. On the other hand, large Rolling Stock contracts such as the S-Bahn Stuttgart trains for Deutsche Bahn in Germany and the Francilien suburban trains for SNCF in France are close to completion, therefore generating lower level of sales as compared to the same period last year.
In Americas, sales stood at €1.7 billion, accounting for 20% of the Group's sales and representing an increase of 23% compared to last year on an actual basis. The performance was mainly driven by the metro cars for BART fleet of the future in San Francisco and Tren Maya project for the National Fund for the Promotion of Tourism in Mexico. The projects of Amtrak high-speed trains in the United States and the light metro system for REM in Canada remain key sales contributors within the region, together with the MetropolisTM trains for São Paulo Metropolitan Train System in Brazil.
In Asia/Pacific, sales amounted to €1.2 billion, accounting for 14% of the Group's sales and representing a decrease of 1% compared to last year on an actual basis. These sales were driven by the continuous ramp-up of the production of electric locomotives and metro cars in India, the Bombardier moviaTM cars for LTA Singapore and the VLocityTM regional trains for The Department of Transport (DoT) in Victoria in Australia.
In Africa/Middle East/Central Asia, sales stood at €0.7 billion, contributing to 9% to the Group's total sales and representing an increase of 1% on an actual basis. The system contract for the Cairo monorail trains in Egypt, the rolling stock contract for the X'TrapolisTM Mega commuter trains in South Africa, as well as the PrimaTM freight locos for Kazakh Railways and Azerbaijan Railways, are the main sales contributors within the region.
As of end of September 2023, research and development gross costs amounted to €(330) million, i.e. 3.9% of sales, reflecting the Group's continuous investment in innovation to develop smarter and greener mobility solutions, in line with the Alstom In Motion strategy which is based on three pillars: Autonomous mobility, Data factory and Mobility orchestration. Net R&D amounts to €(254) million before PPA amortisation.

The Group's Free Cash Flow stands at €(1,119) million for the first half of fiscal year 2023/24 as compared to €(45) million during the same period last fiscal year.
Funds from Operations stand at €256 million, compared to €336 million in the same period last fiscal year, despite an increase in EBIT before PPA (€275 million compared to €200 million in the same period last fiscal year).
Depreciation and amortisation excluding PPA amounted to €211 million (€395 million including PPA), compared to €233 million in the same period last fiscal year (€441 million including PPA). Right-of-use assets amortisation amounted to €61 million compared to the €68 million for the first semester of fiscal year 2022/23.
Financial cash-out reached €(92) million, compared to €(14) million in the same period last fiscal year, mainly due to increased interest rates on the Group's short-term debt and fees paid for the Committed Guarantee Facility Agreement ("CGFA") renegotiated in July 22.
In the first semester of the 2023/24 fiscal year, Alstom spent €(86) million in capital expenditures excluding R&D, as compared to €(99) million in the same period last fiscal year. The Capex program was focused on transformation & productivity-related investments in Europe as well as on the strategy of continuous increase of the industrial capacity in best cost countries such as Poland, Brazil, Hungary, Mexico, Kazakhstan, and India. Alstom continued to invest in energy savings and safety, reinforcing the Company's commitments for sustainable growth
Cash generation was also impacted by an unfavourable €(1,375) million change in working capital compared to €(381) million in the same period last fiscal year; mostly due to a degradation of Trade Working Capital of which a €(408) million inventory build-up is the main element, as well as the reversal effect of the change in law on VAT in France for €(380) million. The Contract Working Capital is negatively impacted by the delay of the Aventra program in the UK and the lower-than-expected downpayments in the first semester.
At 30 September 2023, the Group recorded a net debt position of €(3,433) million, compared to the €(2,135) million net cash balance that the group reported on 31 March 2023. This €1,298 million increase is driven by various factors. Free Cash Flow consumption is at €(1,119) million. It is also impacted by €(46) million dividend pay-out, €(72) million lease, €(9) million acquisitions/disposals and €(53) million other items including FX and remedies.
The Group Equity on 30 September 2023 amounted to €9,121 million (including non-controlling interests), from €9,102 million on 31 March 2023, mostly impacted by:
On 12 October 2023, the credit rating agency Moody's Investors Service has decided to confirm Alstom's Baa3 longterm issuer rating. It has lowered its credit outlook to Negative from Stable.
On the 31 October 2023, the Group has signed a new €2.25 billion liquidity line with a 1st tier international bank as a step to demonstrate the financial flexibility of Alstom. This facility is not subject to financial covenant and its maturity is October 2024 with two six-month extensions at borrowers' discretion.
Announcement on Tuesday, November 14 by Alstom management to the European staff representative body of a proposed savings plan to reduce overhead costs representing close to 10% of total S&A positions (around 1,500 FTE reduction).
This section presents financial indicators used by the Group that are not defined by accounting standard setters.
A new order is recognised as an order received only when the contract creates enforceable obligations between the Group and its customer.
When this condition is met, the order is recognised at the contract value.
If the contract is denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the reporting unit, the Group requires the immediate elimination of currency exposure using forward currency sales. Orders are then measured using the spot rate at inception of hedging instruments.
The book-to-bill ratio is the ratio of orders received to the amount of sales traded for a specific period.
Gross Margin % on backlog is a Key Performance Indicator to present the expected performance level of firmed contracts in backlog. It represents the difference between the sales not yet recognized and the cost of sales not yet incurred from the contracts in backlog. This % is an average of the portfolio of contracts in backlog and is meaningful to project mid and long term profitability.
Adjusted Gross Margin before PPA is a Key Performance Indicator to present the level of recurring operational performance. It represents the sales minus the cost of sales, adjusted to exclude the impact of amortisation of assets exclusively valued when determining the purchase price allocations ("PPA") in the context of business combination as well as non-recurring "one off" items that are not supposed to occur again in following years and are significant.
Adjusted EBIT ("aEBIT") is the Key Performance Indicator to present the level of recurring operational performance. This indicator is also aligned with market practice and comparable to direct competitors.
Starting September 2019, Alstom has opted for the inclusion of the share in net income of the equity-accounted investments into the aEBIT when these are considered to be part of the operating activities of the Group (because there are significant operational flows and/or common project execution with these entities). This mainly includes Chinese joint-ventures, namely CASCO joint-venture for Alstom as well as, following the integration of Bombardier Transportation, Alstom Sifang (Qingdao) Transportation Ltd., Bombardier NUG Propulsion System Co. Ltd and Changchun Changke Alstom Railway Vehicles Company Ltd.
aEBIT corresponds to Earning Before Interests and Tax adjusted for the following elements:
A non-recurring item is a "one-off" exceptional item that is not supposed to occur again in following years and that is significant.
Adjusted EBIT margin corresponds to Adjusted EBIT expressed as a percentage of sales.
Following the Bombardier Transportation acquisition and with effect from the fiscal year 2021/22 condensed consolidated financial statements, Alstom decided to introduce the "EBIT before PPA" indicator aimed at restating its Earnings Before Interest and Taxes ("EBIT") to exclude the impact of amortisation of assets exclusively valued when determining the purchase price allocations ("PPA") in the context of business combination. This indicator is also aligned with market practice.
The non-GAAP measure adjusted EBIT (aEBIT hereafter) and EBIT before PPA indicators reconcile with the GAAP measure EBIT as follows:
| Half-Year ended | Half-Year ended | |
|---|---|---|
| 30 September | 30 September | |
| (in € million) | 2023 | 2022 |
| Sales | 8,443 | 8,048 |
| Adjusted Earnings Before Interest and Taxes (aEBIT) | 438 | 397 |
| aEBIT (in % of Sales) | 5.2% | 4.9% |
| Capital Gains / (losses) on disposal of business | 1 | (20) |
| Restructuring and rationalisation costs | (7) | (6) |
| Integration costs, impairment and other | (92) | (96) |
| Reversal of Net Interest in Equity Investees pick-up | (65) | (75) |
| EARNING BEFORE INTEREST AND TAXES (EBIT) BEFORE PPA & IMPAIRMENT | 275 | 200 |
| PPA amortisation & impairment* | (189) | (214) |
| EARNING BEFORE INTEREST AND TAXES (EBIT) | 8 6 | (14) |
(*) Gross amount before tax
The "Adjusted Net Profit" indicator aims at restating the Alstom's net profit from continued operations (Group share) to exclude the impact of amortisation of assets exclusively valued when determining the purchase price allocations ("PPA") in the context of business combination, net of the corresponding tax effect.
This non-GAAP measure adjusted net profit indicator reconciles with the GAAP measure Net profit from continued operations attributable to equity holders (Net profit from continued operations – Group share) as follows:
| Half-Year ended | Half-Year ended | |
|---|---|---|
| (in € million) | 30 September 2023 30 September 2022 | |
| Adjusted Net Profit* | 174 | 179 |
| Amortization & impairment of assets valued when determining the purchase price allocation | (173) | (195) |
| NET PROFIT FROM CONTINUED OPERATIONS (GROUP SHARE) | 1 | (16) |
Free Cash Flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures including capitalised development costs, net of proceeds from disposals of tangible and intangible assets. Free Cash Flow does not include any proceeds from disposals of activity.
The most directly comparable financial measure to Free Cash Flow calculated and presented in accordance with IFRS is net cash provided by operating activities.
A reconciliation of Free Cash Flow and net cash provided by operating activities is presented below:
| Half-Year ended | Year ended | |
|---|---|---|
| 30 September | 30 September | |
| (in € million) | 2023 | 2022 |
| Net cash provided by / (used in) operating activities | (967) | 9 5 |
| Of which operating flows provided / (used) by discontinued operations | ||
| Capital expenditure (including capitalised R&D costs) | (156) | (156) |
| Proceeds from disposals of tangible and intangible assets | 4 | 1 6 |
| FREE CASH FLOW | (1,119) | (45) |
Alstom uses the Free Cash Flow both for internal analysis purposes as well as for external communication as the Group believes it provides accurate insight into the actual amount of cash generated or used by operations.
During the first half of fiscal year 2023/24, the Group Free Cash Flow was at €(1,119) million compared to €(45) million in the same period last fiscal year.
Capital employed corresponds to hereafter-defined assets minus liabilities.
At the end of September 2023, capital employed stood at €13,012 million, from €11,728 million on 31 March 2023.

Management report on condensed interim consolidated financial statements include performance indicators presented on an actual basis and on an organic basis. Figures given on an organic basis eliminate the impact of changes in scope of consolidation and changes resulting from the translation of the accounts into Euro following the variation of foreign currencies against the Euro.
The Group uses figures prepared on an organic basis both for internal analysis and for external communication, as it believes they provide means to analyse and explain variations from one period to another. However, these figures are not measurements of performance under IFRS.

Alstom is a leading player in the world rail transport industry. As such, the Company offers a complete range of solutions, including rolling stock, systems, services as well as signalling for passenger and freight railway transportation. It benefits from a growing market with solid fundamentals. The key market drivers are urbanisation, environmental concerns, economic growth, governmental spending, and digital transformation.
In this context, Alstom has been able to develop both a local and global presence that sets it apart from many of its competitors, while offering proximity to customers and great industrial flexibility. Its range of solutions, one of the most complete and integrated on the market, and its position as a technological leader, place Alstom in a unique situation to benefit from the worldwide growth in the rail transport market. Lastly, in order to generate profitable growth, Alstom focuses on operational excellence and its product mix evolution.
The condensed interim consolidated financial statements are presented in euro and have been authorised for issue by the Board of Directors held on 14 November 2023.
Alstom disclosed preliminary financial information for its first half of fiscal year 2023/24, ending September 30 2023, as well as an updated guidance regarding the full year 2023/24 (as disclosed in the press release dated 4 October 2023). Following this announcement, Alstom's share price has significantly decreased, leading to a market capitalization lower than the carrying amount of Alstom's net assets. As per IAS 36, this situation has been considered as a trigger event to reperform impairment test on goodwill (detailed in Note 11.1). The impairment test confirmed that the recoverable amount exceeds its carrying value at 30 September 2023, therefore no impairment loss was recognized on Goodwill over the period.
On other assets: technology and other intangible assets (amortised assets), as well as deferred taxes (see Note 8), impairment tests are reviewed at least annually and whenever events or circumstances indicate that they might be impaired. Based on its reasonable estimates, the visibility available and previous enlarged sensitivity analyses performed in March 2023, Alstom has not identified any trigger event indicating that any assets should be impaired at the end of September 2023.
There are no significant changes in the consolidation scope between 31 March 2023 and 30 September 2023.
Alstom condensed interim consolidated financial statements, for the half year ended 30 September 2023, are presented in millions of Euros and have been prepared:
The full set of standards endorsed by the European Union can be consulted at: http://www.efrag.org/Endorsement.
Amendments that are applicable on 1 April 2023 and endorsed by European Union:
All these amendments effective at 1 April 2023 for Alstom have no material impact on the Group's consolidated financial statements.
New standards and interpretations endorsed by the European Union not yet mandatorily applicable:
The potential impacts of all those new pronouncements are currently being analysed.
The IASB has also published amendments to IAS 12, "Income Taxes" – International Tax Reform – Pillar Two Model Rules. Due to its size, Alstom is in the scope of the Pillar two Model Rules as released by the OECD, introducing a minimum corporate income tax rate of 15% and that should come into force in 2024. The amendment to IAS 12 International Tax Reform - Pillar Two Model Rules provides a temporary exception from accounting for deferred taxes arising from the implementation of the Pillar Two Rules and requires targeted disclosures. It should be applicable as soon as endorsed by the European Union. At 30 September 2023 the Group has not accounted for deferred taxes in relation with the Pillar Two Rules and is currently analysing potential impacts of these new provisions.
The current economic and political context creates uncertainties on business activities (namely inflation, price volatility of certain commodities, energy, increases of interest rates, supply chain disruptions or electronic components shortage…). Nevertheless, the Group carefully follows and monitors the potential increase in its cost structures (raw materials prices, supply chain and wages inflation), being quite well protected (73% of the backlog being covered by price escalation clauses on global inflation - commodities, energy and labour indexes).
Thanks to the activities managed, the Group is actively engaged in the climate transition which generates new opportunities of business development for the Group. At 30 September 2023, to the best of the Group knowledge and considering in-depth analysis of the risks and opportunities related to the consequences of climate change has not been yet finalised, Alstom did not identify any triggering events that could change the environmental risks assessment performed in March 2023. Therefore, Alstom does not foresee significant environmental risks that might negatively impact in the coming years the useful lives and/or residual values of non-financial assets such as goodwill, intangible, tangible fixed assets, as well as rights of use.
By signing a Virtual Power Purchase Agreement on the 10th of July 2023, in order to secure the procurement of green power certificates for 10 years, Alstom achieves an important milestone to accelerate decarbonisation related to energy consumption of its facilities and sites in Europe. The power will be purchased as produced from a Spanish solar asset, for an estimated volume of 160 GWh/year. The solar farm which will be built in Andalusia is expected to start operating early 2025 and is deemed to cover 80% of Alstom's electricity consumption in Europe. Accounting-wise, the VPPA is a split between i) a non-financial host contract (the obligation to deliver the green power certificates from the producer to Alstom), which is accounted for as an executory contract (application of own use exemption as per IFRS 9), and ii) a power price related embedded derivative (due to systematic net settlement between the power contractual price and the power grid market price) which is accounted for at fair value through Profit and Loss. This contract does not have significant impacts on the Group Financial Statements as of 30 September 2023.
The amortisation expense of assets exclusively acquired in the context of business combinations is accounted in costs of sales for backlog, product and project, customer relationships, as well as property, plant and equipment in R&D costs for acquired technology, and in share in net income of equity-accounted investment for investments in Joint Ventures and Associates. The PPA amortisation impacting the pre-tax income (meaning cost of sales and R&D costs) amounts to €(185) million at 30 September 2023, compared to €(208) million at 30 September 2022, while the PPA
amortisation impacting the share in net income of equity-accounted investment amounts to €(5) million at 30 September 2023, compared to €(6) million at 30 September 2022.
The financial information of Alstom Group is regularly reviewed by the Executive Committee, identified as Chief Operating Decision Maker, for assessing performance and allocating resources. This reporting presents Key Performance Indicators at Group level. The reassessment of segment information performed after Bombardier Transportation's acquisition did not change the analysis that strategic decisions and resource allocation are still driven based on this reporting.

As of 30 September 2023, acquisition, restructuring and rationalisation costs are mainly related to the adaptation of the means of production.
Over the period ended at 30 September 2023, Integration costs, impairment loss and other include mainly:
| Half-year ended | |||

| Interest income | 11 | 4 | |

| Total financial income | 26 | 23 | |
| Total financial expense | (124) | (47) |
Net financial income/(expenses) on debt is the cost of borrowings net of income from cash and cash equivalents. As of 30 September 2023, interest income amounts to €11 million, representing mainly the remuneration of the Group's cash position over the period, while interest expenses amount to €(71) million including €(9) million of interest expenses on lease obligations.
The net gain of foreign exchange hedging of €15 million includes primarily the amortised cost of carry (forward points) of foreign exchange hedging implemented to hedge the exposures in foreign currency arising from commercial contracts and from hedging of intercompany financial positions.
The net financial expense from employee defined benefit plans of €(17) million represents the interest costs on obligations net of interest income from fund assets calculated using the same discount rate.
The financial component of €(9) million is the recognition of financial revenue under IFRS15.
Other net financial income/(expenses) of €(27) million include mainly bank and other fees of which a large part relates to commitment fees paid on guarantee facilities, revolving facilities and fees paid on bonds.
Net Financial income and net financial expenses presentation has been realigned between this note and condensed interim consolidated income statement of the primary statement for both Half Year ended 30 September 2023 and 30 September 2022 as already performed and explained in the Full Year Financial Statement ended 31 March 2023.
Income tax charge of €(28) million as of 30 September 2023 is recognised based on management's estimate of the projected effective tax rate for the whole financial year applied to the pre-tax income of the interim period and takes into consideration discrete items for €9 million, including notably uncertain tax positions updates. Due to negative pretax income, effective tax rate of the period is not meaningful: excluding the €(185) million PPA amortisation (see Note 3.6), effective tax rate is 25% as compared to 27% at 30 September 2022.
Despite the uncertainties created by the current macroeconomic context and based on its reasonable estimates, the visibility available and previous enlarged sensitivity analyses performed in March 2023 (see Note 1), Alstom has not identified any trigger event that would impact the recognition of deferred tax assets as at 30 September 2023.
The line "Net profit from discontinued operations", recognised in the Interim Consolidated Income Statement, includes the reassessment of liabilities related to the disposal of previous activities. Over the half year ended 30 September 2023, Alstom recognised a non-material loss.
Cash flows related to the disposal of previous activities arising from discontinued operations for the half year amounts to €(5) million.
In the context of the General Electric transaction, the release of some conditional and unconditional parent company guarantees formerly issued, mainly by Alstom Holdings SA, to cover obligations of the former Energy affiliates amount of €4 billion. The Group benefits from a general indemnification from General Electric in these matters.
TMH Limited, located in Cyprus, in which Alstom owns a 20% participation, is the holding company for TMH Group, the leading Russian railway equipment manufacturer.
Related to the current geopolitical context in Russia, on 14 September 2023, the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) of the US department of Treasury added JSC Transmashholding (TMH AO) to the Specially Designated
Nationals And Blocked Person (SDN) List. TMH AO is the Russian holding company of TMH Group and is 100% owned by TMH Limited.
In September 2023, the Group decided to sell its participation in TMH Limited. Alstom is in advanced discussions with the identified purchaser and will proceed with the sale within a short period of time.
The Group further assessed potential exposures arising from the new OFAC sanctions related to commercial contracts between the Alstom Group and entities of the TMH Group and its participation in two Joint Ventures with TMH Group, Railcomp BV and TMH-Alstom BV, located in the Netherlands. As a result of the assessment, no significant impact on the Group's consolidated financial statements was identified as the commercial contracts with TMH Limited Group and its related entities are suspended and the two Joint Venture entities are in the process of being liquidated.
Considering the decision taken by Alstom Group to sell its participation within TMH Limited, the net asset value previously accounted for as "Investments in joint-venture and associates" was reclassified to "asset held for sales", as per the below detail:
| TMH Limited | |
|---|---|
| (in € million) | At 30 September 2023 |
| Net equity value | 363 |
| Impairment (*) | (363) |
| Share in net assets of equity investments | - |
(*) The full impairment position taken by the Group at the end of March 2022 considering the environment, and in particular the adoption of trade and financial sanctions, has been maintained at the end of September 2023.
As a reminder, the Currency Translation Adjustment (CTA) recognised directly in equity since the acquisition of TMH Ltd amounts to €(202) million at 30 September 2023, compared to €(202) million at 31 March 2023. At completion of the sale of the investment, the loss recorded in the CTA will be recognized in the net income of the Group, net of the proceeds of the sale.

Goodwill is reviewed for impairment at least annually and whenever events or circumstances indicate that they might be impaired. Such events or circumstances are related to significant, unfavourable changes that are of a lasting nature and affect either the economic environment (i.e. inflation, geopolitical crises, market capitalisation decrease, etc) or the assumptions (i.e. contract execution, procurement, etc). An impairment loss is recognised when the recoverable value of the assets tested becomes lower than their carrying value.
Alstom disclosed preliminary financial information for its first half of fiscal year 2023/24, ending 30 September 2023, as well as an updated guidance regarding the full year 2023/24 (as per the press release dated 4 October 2023). Following this announcement, Alstom's share price has significantly decreased, leading to a market capitalisation lower
than the carrying amount of Alstom's net assets. As per IAS 36, this situation has been considered as a trigger event to reperform impairment test on goodwill as of September 2023.
The value in use is determined as the discounted value of future cash flows by using Group's internal cash flow projections for the next three years and the extrapolation of the two following years. As of September 2023, those cash flow projections correspond, for the first year, to the updated 2023/24 guidance and for the following years, to the Group's projections used for the mid-term guidance published in May 2023. Those assumptions are supported by current acceleration of rail market momentum, the high level of Group's backlog and commercial, profitability and cash generation assumptions. They are also confirmed by first half of fiscal year 2023/24 results: Book to bill ratio of 1, Sales organic growth of +9% and aEBIT Margin of +5.2%.
The value in use is mainly driven by the terminal value which is particularly sensitive to changes in the assumptions on the discount rate after tax, the long-term growth rate and the terminal value Adjusted EBIT margin (corresponding to the ratio "aEBIT" over Sales).
Alstom has opted for the inclusion of the share in net income of the equity-accounted investments into the aEBIT when these are considered to be part of the operating activities of the Group (because there are significant operational flows and/or common project execution with these entities). This mainly includes Chinese joint-ventures, namely CASCO, Alstom Sifang (Qingdao) Transportation Ltd, Jiangsu ALSTOM NUG Propulsion System Co. Ltd. (former Bombardier NUG Propulsion) and Changchun Changke Alstom Railway Vehicles Company Ltd.
The indicator "aEBIT" corresponds to Earning Before Interests and Tax adjusted with the following elements:
A non-recurring item is a "one-off" exceptional item that is not supposed to occur again in following years and that is significant.
The main assumptions used to assess the recoverable amounts of goodwill are as follows:
| Net carrying amount of goodwill at 30 September 2023 (in € million) | 9,402 |
|---|---|
| Value elected as representative of the recoverable value | Value in use |
| Number of years over which cash flow estimates are available | 3 years |
| Extrapolation period of cash flow estimates | 2 years |
| Long-term growth rate at 30 September 2023 | 3.0% |
| Long-term growth rate at 31 March 2023 | 3.0% |

| After tax discount rate at 31 March 2023 (*) | 9.0% |
(*) The application of pre-tax discount rates to pre-tax cash flows leads to the same valuation of Group Generating Units.
Discount rate is based on weighted average cost of capital (WACC) which is calculated for the Group based on a riskfree rate and a market risk premium. The current market assessment of the risks specific to Group activity is reflected by taking into account specific peer group information on industry beta, leverage and cost of debt. The parameters for calculating the discount rate are based on external sources of information.
The discount rate has been updated from 9.0% to 9.5% compared to March 2023 as a result of the combination of the increase in the risk free rates and the decrease in equity risk premium over the period.
The long-term growth rate has not changed since March 2023 because it remains consistent with current acceleration of rail market momentum confirmed by independent market studies and the positive evolution of the Group backlog which provides strong visibility over future revenues.
Sensitivity of the values in use to key assumptions can be presented as follows:
| (in € million) | ||
|---|---|---|
| aEBIT Margin in Terminal year | -25bp | +25bp |
| (405) | 405 | |
| After tax discount rate | -25bp | +25bp |
| 780 | (722) | |
| Long-term growth rate | -25bp | +25bp |
| (588) | 635 |
The current economic and political context creates uncertainties on business activities (namely inflation, increase of the price of certain commodities, energy, supply chain disruptions or electronic components shortage…).This led the Group to take those into consideration in the key assumptions as well as in the business plan used for the impairment test performed in the frame of the preparation of the Group's condensed interim consolidated financial statements, based on its best reasonable estimates and the visibility available for its operations at 30 September 2023.
The impairment tests confirmed that the recoverable amount comfortably exceeds its carrying value at 30 September 2023. Some enlarged sensitivity analyses were performed with regards to key assumptions, that would not change the conclusions of the impairment test. Namely, a (100) basis point change in the discount rate or in the long-term growth rate or in the Adjusted EBIT margin (versus the usual sensitivities disclosed in the table above), would lead to a recoverable amount still exceeding its carrying value at 30 September 2023.

(*) At 31 March 2023, a one off effect was recorded due to the alignment of the VAT French law with the European VAT Directive according to which VAT is due on all the invoices made to customers including down payments and progress billings. VAT was collected in March 2023 and the corresponding payment has been made during the semester, explaining mainly the decrease of "Other taxes".
Over the period ended 30 September 2023, the Group entered into agreements of assignment of receivables that lead to the derecognition of tax receivables for an amount of €34 million. The total disposed amount outstanding at 30 September 2023 is €160 million compared to €159 million at 31 March 2023.
Bombardier Transportation negotiated extended payment terms of 210 to 240 days after delivery with certain of its suppliers, that have the possibility to early finance their receivables through a supply chain financing program supported by third parties. Those third parties are not committed, and suppliers have the right to return to original payment terms for future payables upon providing a minimum notice period. The Group considers that the balance of trade payables supported by the supply chain financing program does not have the nature of a financial debt as the extension of the payment terms are not contractually linked to the existence of the supply chain financing program. However, following IFRIC Update issued in December 2020, the Group decided to present the amounts of trade payables supported by the supply chain financing arrangement and exceeding regular payment terms on a dedicated line item of its balance sheet in the other current liabilities.

Provisions for warranties relate to estimated costs to be incurred over the residual contractual warranty period on completed contracts.
Provisions for risks on contracts relate to provisions on contract losses and to commercial disputes and operating risks.
In relation to uncertain tax treatments and tax risks, the Group tax filings are subject to audit by tax authorities in most jurisdictions in which the Group operates. These audits may result in assessment of additional taxes that are subsequently resolved with the authorities or potentially through the courts. The Group believes that it has strong arguments against the questions being raised, that it will pursue all legal remedies to avoid an unfavorable outcome and that it has adequately provided for any risk that could result from those proceedings where it is probable that it will pay some amounts. Following IFRIC 23 application in April 2019, it is reminded that liabilities for uncertainty over income tax treatments are now presented as tax liabilities on the line corporate income tax in the other current operating liabilities (see Note 15.3).
Restructuring provisions mainly derive from the adaptation of the means of production in certain countries, mainly Germany.
Other non-current provisions mainly relate to guarantees delivered or risks in connection with disposals, employee litigations, commercial disputes, and environmental obligations.
The management identifies and analyses on a regular basis current litigations and other risks, using its best estimate to assess, when necessary, provisions. These estimates take into account information available and different possible outcomes. Main disputes are described in Note 23.
At 30 September 2023, the share capital of Alstom amounts to €2,690,037,476 consisting of 384,291,068 ordinary shares with a par value of €7 each. Over the period, the weighted average number of outstanding ordinary shares amounts to 383,614,087 after the effect of all dilutive instruments.
During the period ended 30 September 2023:
As at 30 September 2023, the currency translation group reserve amounts to €(588) million.
The currency translation adjustment, presented within the consolidated statement of comprehensive income for €(62) million, primarily reflects the effect of variations of the Canadian Dollar (€24 million), US Dollar (€18 million), British Pound (€15 million), Swiss Franc (€10 million), partially offset by Swedish Krona (€(10) million) and Chinese Yuan (€(10) million), against the Euro for the half-year ended 30 September 2023.
The Combined Shareholders' Meeting, which took place on 11 July 2023, approved the dividend related to the 2022/23 fiscal year for an amount of €0.25 gross per share, and has decided to offer to each shareholder an option, for payment of such dividend to be made in cash or in new shares. The period to exercise the option ran from 19 July to 1 September 2023 included. At the end of the option period, 2,435,803 new shares were issued at a share price of €23.75 and amounted to €58 million. The cash dividend to be paid to the shareholders who did not elect to receive 2022/23 dividend in shares amounted to €37 million and the date for the payment was 7 September 2023.
As at 30 September 2023, other current financial assets comprise the positive market value of derivatives instruments hedging financing activities.

The main categories of financial assets and financial liabilities of the Group and Financial Risk Management are identical to those described in the consolidated financial statements at 31 March 2023.
In addition to its available cash and cash equivalents, amounting to €826 million at 30 September 2023, Alstom benefits from strong liquidity through short term lines. The facilities available at 30 September 2023 for the Group are made of:
These two facilities have a one-year extension option remaining at lenders' discretion and are undrawn at 30 September 2023.
The €2.5 billion Revolving Credit Facility serves as a back-up of the Group €2.5 billion NEU CP program in place. Considering the €1,370 million of Negotiable European Commercial Papers outstanding and €141 million overdraft, the remaining liquidity available at 30 September 2023 reached €3.6 billion.
Contractual obligations of the Group towards its customers may be guaranteed by bank bonds or insurance bonds. Bank and insurance bonds may guarantee liabilities already recorded on the balance sheet as well as contingent liabilities.
To issue these bonds, the Group relies on both uncommitted bilateral lines in numerous countries and a €12.7 billion Committed Guarantee Facility Agreement ("CGFA") with sixteen tier one banks allowing issuance until 22 July 2025 of bonds with tenors up to 7 years. This bilateral line contains a change of control clause, which may result in the program being suspended, in the obligation to procure new bonds to replace outstanding bonds or to provide cash collateral.
At 30 September 2023, the total outstanding bonding guarantees related to contracts from continuing operations, issued by banks or insurance companies, amounted to €26.4 billion (€26.2 billion at 31 March 2023). The available amount under the Committed Guarantee Facility Agreement at 30 September 2023 amounts to €5.4 billion (€5.3 billion at 31 March 2023).
The net liability on post-employment and on other long-term employee defined benefits is calculated using the latest valuation at the previous financial year closing date. Adjustments of actuarial assumptions are performed on main contributing areas (United Kingdom, Germany, France, Switzerland, Sweden, Canada, and the US) if significant fluctuations or one-time events have occurred during the 6 months period. The fair value of main plan assets was reviewed at 30 September 2023.

The variation of actuarial gains and losses arising from post-employment defined benefit plans recognised in the Other comprehensive income amounts to €(52) million for the half-year ended 30 September 2023 mainly due to negative unbalanced evolution between decrease of fair value of plan assets and positive evolution of discount rates by geographic areas.
Other variations in the period ended 30 September 2023 mainly arose from service costs related to defined benefits that are consistent with costs incurred in the previous period, and with projections estimated in actuarial valuations performed at 31 March 2023.
The Group is engaged in several legal proceedings, mostly contract-related disputes that have arisen in the ordinary course of business. These disputes, often involving claims for contract delays or additional work, are common in the areas in which the Group operates, particularly for large long-term projects. In some cases, the amounts, which may be significant, are claimed against the Group, sometimes jointly with its consortium partners.
In some proceedings the amount claimed is not specified at the beginning of the proceedings. Amounts retained in respect of these litigations are taken into account in the estimate of margin at completion in case of contracts in progress or included in provisions and other current liabilities in case of completed contracts when considered as reliable estimates of probable liabilities. Actual costs incurred may exceed the amount of initial estimates because of a number of factors including the inherent uncertainties of the outcome of litigation.
Some of the Group's subsidiaries are subject to civil proceedings in relation to the use of asbestos in France essentially as well as in Spain, in the United Kingdom and in the United States of America. In France, these proceedings are initiated by certain employees or former employees suffering from an occupational disease in relation to asbestos with the aim of obtaining a court decision allowing them to obtain a supplementary compensation from the French Social Security funds. In addition, employees and former employees of the Group not suffering from an asbestos related occupational disease have started lawsuits before the French courts with the aim of obtaining compensation for damages in relation to their alleged exposure to asbestos, including the specific anxiety damage.
The Group believes that the cases where it may be required to bear the financial consequences of such proceedings do not represent a material exposure. While the outcome of the existing asbestos-related cases cannot be predicted with reasonable certainty, the Group believes that these cases would not have any material adverse effect on its financial condition.
In July 2013, the Brazilian Competition Authority ("CADE") raided a number of companies involved in transportation activities in Brazil, including the subsidiaries of Alstom and Bombardier Transportation, following allegations of anticompetitive practices. After a preliminary investigation stage, CADE notified in March 2014 the opening of an administrative procedure against several companies, of which the Alstom's and Bombardier Transportation's subsidiaries in Brazil, and certain current and former employees of the Group.
CADE ruled in July 2019 a financial fine of BRL 133 million (approximately €25 million) on Alstom's subsidiary in Brazil as well as a ban to participate in public procurement bids in Brazil conducted by the Federal, State, and Municipal Public Administration over a period of 5 years. In parallel, CADE applied a financial penalty of BRL 23 million (approximately €4 million) on Bombardier Transportation's subsidiary in Brazil (there is no ban to participate in public procurement bids in Brazil).
In September and December 2020, both Alstom and Bombardier Transportation's subsidiaries in Brazil filed a civil lawsuit before the Brasilia civil court aiming at suspending and ultimately cancelling the July 2019 ruling. Both subsidiaries obtained an injunction to suspend the effects of the administrative ruling until a final judgment is issued on the merits.
The public prosecutor of the State of Sao Paulo launched in May 2014 a civil action against the Group's subsidiaries in Brazil, along with a number of other companies, for a total amount asserted against all companies of BRL 2.5 billion (approximately €465 million) excluding interests and possible damages in connection with a transportation project.
In December 2014, the public prosecutor of the State of Sao Paulo also initiated a lawsuit against Alstom's subsidiaries in Brazil, along with a number of other companies (including now Bombardier Transportation's local subsidiary) related to alleged anti-competitive practices regarding the first phase of a train maintenance project, and in the last quarter of 2016, regarding a second phase of the said maintenance project.
The Group's subsidiaries are actively defending themselves against these two actions.
In case of proven illicit practices, possible sanctions can include the cancellation of the relevant contracts, the payment of damage compensation, the payment of punitive damages and/or the dissolution of the Brazilian subsidiaries involved.
On 23 June 2020, a series of searches and arrests have been carried out by the Milan police under instructions of the Milan Prosecution Office as part of a preliminary investigation into alleged bribes and bid-rigging in connection with public tenders for Azienda Transporte Milanesi ("ATM"), the municipal public transport company and operator of the Milan Subway. The investigation concerns at least seven companies and 28 individuals, including three current employees and one former employee of Alstom Ferroviaria S.p.A (the "Alstom Italy employees").
The Prosecution Office alleges that the Alstom Italy employees engaged in bid-rigging under Article 353 of the Italian Criminal Code, including colluding with an employee of ATM, to obtain confidential technical information in order to secure an undue advantage in the tender process for a 2019 contract for the Milan subway. Alstom did not ultimately submit a bid in respect of this contract.
Alstom Ferroviaria S.p.A. is also subject to investigation regarding alleged violation of Legislative Decree No. 231/2001 ("Decree 231/2001") for not having implemented (or not having efficiently applied) a system of control capable to avoid the commission by its employees of corruption. A company may only be held liable under Decree 231 if the criminal misconduct of its employees is established. In such a case, a company may seek to defend itself from corporate liability under Decree 231/2001 by showing that it had adopted and effectively implemented an organizational model (known as a "Modello") to prevent misconduct and established an independent supervisory body (known as an "organismo di vigilenza") to oversee compliance with the Modello. Alstom Ferroviaria S.p.A. has adopted a Modello and has established an "organismo di vigilenza".
Alstom is conducting an internal investigation into the allegations discussed above in coordination with external counsel and has taken certain interim measures in response to the allegations of the Prosecution Office, in particular by suspending one of its employees of Alstom Ferroviaria S.p.A.
In August 2022, the Prosecution Office determined (i) withdrawal of the bribery charges against Alstom Ferroviaria S.p.A. and the individuals and (ii) is seeking for indictment of two former and two current employees of Alstom Ferroviaria S.p.A for bid rigging. The judge of Preliminary Investigations is now to decide on such determinations.
In November 2022, ATM and the Milan Municipality joined the proceedings as offended parties ("costituzione di parte civile").
The Spanish Competition Authority ("CNMC") opened a formal procedure end of August 2018 in connection with alleged irregularities in public tenders with the Spanish Railway Infrastructures Administrator ("ADIF") against eight competing companies active in the Spanish signaling market including Bombardier European Investments, S.L.U (BEI) and its parent company Bombardier Transportation (Global Holding) UK Limited, and Alstom Transporte SA and its parent Alstom SA. The inclusion of the parent company is typical of European competition authorities at the early stage of the proceedings. No Alstom or Bombardier managers were included in the file. In September 2020, the companies obtained access to the Statement of Objections in which the CNMC discloses the evidence gathered against the various
participants in the alleged cartel in the Spanish signaling market. Both Alstom and Bombardier have submitted their defense paper rejecting all of CNMC allegations on the basis of absence of evidence. The Sub-directorate of the CNMC submitted a Proposed Resolution end of March 2021 which both Alstom and Bombardier rejected. Both companies submitted their defence to the Council of the CNMC.
The Council of the CNMC ruled in September 2021 a financial fine of €22 million and €3.7 million on Alstom's subsidiary and Bombardier Transportation's subsidiary in Spain respectively. The Council also ruled a ban to participate in public procurement bids in Spain. The scope and duration of the ban to participate in public procurement both for Alstom's and Bombardier Transportation's subsidiaries in Spain remain to be set by the State Public Procurement Advisory Board (Junta Consultiva de Contratación Pública del Estado).
On 29 November and 7 December 2021 Alstom's subsidiary and Bombardier Transportation's subsidiary in Spain respectively lodged an appeal against this ruling of the Council of the CNMC before the National High Court ("Audiencia Nacional"). The Group believes that the grounds of appeal are solid. On 23 September 2022, Alstom's subsidiaries in Spain filed their respective statement of claim under the appeal proceedings.
In parallel to these appeals, Alstom's and Bombardier Transportation's subsidiaries in Spain have respectively requested to the National High Court, as an interim measure, to suspend the implementation of the Council ruling regarding (i) the payment of the financial fine and (ii) the prohibition to tender in public procurement bids in Spain. On the 1 and on the 14 February 2022 respectively, the National High Court accepted both requests for interim measures and granted such suspension.
The matters described in this section relate to historical conduct involving Bombardier Transportation that occurred prior to Alstom's acquisition.
Bombardier Transportation is the subject of an audit of the World Bank Integrity Vice Presidency and is participating in several investigations relating to allegations of corruption including by the Swedish Prosecution authority, the Special Investigation Unit (SIU) and National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) in South Africa and the DOJ.
With respect to these above-mentioned matters, Alstom and/or Bombardier Inc. are cooperating with the concerned authorities or institutions. These investigations or procedures may result in criminal sanctions, including fines which may be significant, exclusion of Group's subsidiaries from tenders and third-party actions. In this context, Alstom has obtained a number of contractual protections in the acquisition of Bombardier Transportation to mitigate potential risks.
The matter under investigation by the Swedish authorities, the World Bank and the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) (cf. details below) is in relation to a 2013 contract for the supply of equipment and services to Azerbaijan Railways in the amount of approximately \$340 million (principally financed by the World Bank) awarded to a bidding consortium composed of Bombardier Transportation's Sweden's subsidiary (BT Sweden), a Russian Bombardier Transportation affiliate (with third party shareholders) and a third party (the "ADY Contract"). Ownership of the affiliate was subsequently transferred to an entity well established in the Russian and CIS market with which BT Sweden had a historical relationship, and an affiliate of which had been added post-bid approval as a project sub-contractor. There remains uncertainty as to the services provided by these entities in return for some of the payments they received.
The Swedish authorities commenced an investigation in relation to the ADY Contract in 2016, and in 2017 filed charges against the former head of Sales, North Region, RCS, BT Sweden (the "former BTS employee") for aggravated bribery, and alternatively, influence trafficking. The authorities alleged that the former BTS employee had contacts and correspondence with a representative of the third-party member of the consortium who was also employed by Azerbaijan railways during the bidding period with a view towards illicitly influencing the outcome of the tender.
After a trial, the former BTS employee was acquitted on both counts in 2017. The authorities appealed the decision and as of today only the aggravated bribery charge is pending. Although no charges have been filed against BT Sweden to date, the Swedish authorities are investigating other former BT Sweden employees and made mutual legal assistance treaty requests to authorities in numerous jurisdictions.
The Swedish authorities concluded investigations on another former BT Sweden employee and filed charges. In December 2021, the Swedish Court issued a decision acquitting the former BTS employee. The authorities appealed such decision. This former BTS employee was acquitted in Appeal in May 2023.
The World Bank audited the ADY Contract and in 2018 the World Bank's Integrity Vice Presidency ("INT") issued a strictly confidential show cause letter which was leaked. The letter outlines INT's position regarding alleged collusion, corruption and fraud in the ADY Contract and obstruction of the INT's investigation. The audit could result in some form of debarment of Bombardier Transportation and BT Sweden from bidding on contracts financed by the World Bank for a number of years.
On 10 February, 2020, the DOJ notified Bombardier that it had opened an investigation. The DOJ has made information requests since March 2020 to Bombardier Inc. regarding the ADY Contract and may be doing so in the near term in relation to other projects in CIS countries. The DOJ has also made information requests regarding contracts with Transnet (cf. below South-Africa and Project related litigation- South-Africa) and a Bombardier Transportation South Africa signaling contract with the Passenger Rail Agency of South Africa (PRASA).
Bombardier Transportation South Africa's contract to supply locomotives to Transnet Freight Rail is one of the matters among numerous other matters under investigation by the judicial commission of inquiry into allegations of State Capture (the "Zondo Commission"), by the Special Investigation Unit in South Africa ("SIU"), and by the National Prosecuting Authority ("NPA").
Alstom and Transnet engaged in commercial negotiations which resulted in the signature of a settlement agreement in August 2023 with Transnet and co-signed by the SIU. This settlement requires formal validation by the State Court (cf. below Project execution related litigation – South Africa).
In March 2007, the Turkish Ministry of Transport (DLH) awarded the contract to upgrade approximately 75 km of railway infrastructure in the Istanbul region, known as the "Marmaray Commuter Rail Project (CR-1)" to the consortium Alstom Dogus Marubeni (AMD), of which Alstom Transport's main French subsidiary is a member. This project, which included works on the transcontinental railway tunnel under the Bosphorus, has undergone significant delays mainly due to difficulties for the DLH to make the construction site available. Thus, the AMD consortium terminated the contract in 2010. This termination was challenged by DLH, who thereafter called the bank guarantees issued by the consortium up to an amount of approximately €80 million. Following injunctions, the payment of such bank guarantees was forbidden, and the AMD consortium immediately initiated an arbitration procedure to resolve the substantive issues. The arbitral tribunal has decided in December 2014 that the contract stands as terminated by virtue of Turkish law and has authorized the parties to submit their claims for compensation of the damages arising from such termination.
The set off of the various amounts awarded by the tribunal to both parties after more than ten years of proceedings resulted, in a net amount, after set-off, of €27.4 million payable by the AMD consortium to DLH. AMD partners paid their respective proportionate share to the Ministry (Alstom share being €8.5 million) during the summer of 2021. Bonds were released and the case is therefore closed subject to the process of release of counter-guarantees respectively issued by AMD's partners which is ongoing.
On the other hand, through arbitration request notified on 29 September 2015, Marubeni Corporation launched proceedings against Alstom Transport SA taken as consortium leader in order to be compensated for the consequences of the termination of the contract with AMD. In a similar fashion, through arbitration request issued on 15 March 2016, the other consortium member Dogus launched proceedings against Alstom Transport SA with similar demands and a request to have the disputes between consortium members consolidated in a single case. Alstom Transport SA is rejecting these compensation requests and is defending itself in these proceedings between consortium members which, while having gone through a consolidation in a single case, have however been suspended by the arbitral tribunal pending the outcome of the main arbitral proceedings between AMD and DLH. In October 2018, Dogus applied for interim measures to clarify certain aspects of the consortium agreement and this request was rejected by the arbitral tribunal on account of the suspension. In January 2021, Dogus filed an application to resume arbitration proceedings while Alstom filed a successful application seeking an order of payment according to partners' net proportionate shares (see above). In accordance with the timetable defined by the case management team, Dogus and Marubeni filed their respective statements of claims on 30 September 2021 and Alstom submitted its defense and counterclaims on 14 February 2022. On 28 April 2022, the arbitral tribunal issued an order to close the document production phase of the proceedings. On 9 September 2022 and on 13 February 2023, Dogus and Marubeni filed their respective replies and statements of defense to Alstom's counterclaims and their rejoinder to which Alstom responded on 30 November 2022 and on 20 February 2023 by filing its rejoinder and reply on counterclaims. The arbitral tribunal hearing started on 20 March and ended on 29 March 2023, following which a final decision on the dispute is expected before the end of 2023.
Alstom Transport's subsidiary in Italy is involved in two litigation proceedings with the Italian railway company Trenitalia. One is related to a supply contract of regional Minuetto trains awarded in 2001 (the "Minuetto case"), and the other to a supply contract of high-speed Pendolino trains awarded in 2004 (the "Pendolino case"). Each of these contracts has undergone technical issues and delays leading the Trenitalia company to apply delay and technical penalties and, consequently, to withhold payments. Since the parties dispute certain technical matters as well as the causes and responsibilities of the delays, the matter was brought before Italian courts in 2010 and 2011 respectively. In the Minuetto case on 26 June 2019, the Court of Cuneo issued its decision, which Alstom after careful and detailed analysis considered to be wrong for various legal reasons. On 24 January 2020 Alstom appealed, and on 12 May 2020 Trenitalia counter appealed, the decision before the Court of Appeal of Turin. Proceedings took place and on 24 December 2021 ALSTOM received the Court of Appeal's decision. The Court of Appeal notably (i) rejected Alstom's request to order supplementary technical expertise and (ii) did not recognize Alstom's economic dependence vis-à-vis Trenitalia, which led consequently to the rejection of Alstom's request to have the penalties clause declared null, as opposed to the first-degree decision. However, the Court of Appeal confirmed the first-degree decision regarding (i) the amount of the penalties due to Trenitalia and (ii) the fact that Trenitalia could not obtain the corresponding payment based on procedural grounds. On 21 June 2022, Alstom appealed the decision by filling a recourse to the Supreme Court to which Trenitalia responded by filing its defense and a counter recourse on 1 August 2022. The preliminary decision of the Filter Section ("Sezione Filtro") of the Supreme Court, that shall be limited to the admissibility of the recourse, is not expected before end of 2023.
In the Pendolino case, the technical expertise report was released, and Alstom has obtained certain corrections following its challenge on some of the conclusions of the report. After the closing of the expertise phase the proceedings continued their path on the legal aspects of the dispute. The tribunal rendered in March 2019 a decision acknowledging that a significant part of the delays was not attributable to Alstom and therefore reduced a large portion of the delay damages claimed by Trenitalia. The tribunal also rejected the reliability penalties claimed by Trenitalia while accepting certain of its residual damage compensation requests. Finally, the tribunal accepted Alstom's claims linked to contract price adjustment formula while rejecting some of its other cost compensation claims. Alstom appealed the decision on 7 October 2019. On 15 January 2020 Trenitalia filed its defense and counter-appeal. After postponement of the initial date the Court of Appeal of Rome fixed the first hearing to 30 September 2022 during which the parties to the dispute summarized their respective positions. The Court of Appeal of Rome ordered Alstom and Trenitalia to file (i) their final briefs on 29 November 2022 and (ii) their respective reply to the other party's final briefs on 19 December 2022. On 10 January 2023 the Court of Appeal of Rome issued its decision that was notified to Alstom on 22 February 2023. The Court of Appeal confirmed the ruling of the first-degree judgment in favour of Alstom in its entirety except for the recognition of the economic dependence of Alstom vis-à-vis Trenitalia. Alstom filed a recourse before the Supreme Court against this decision.
In April 2023 Alstom filed a recourse before the Supreme Court against this decision, to which Trenitalia responded by filing its defense and a counter recourse on 31 May 2023.
Following a dispute within a consortium involving Alstom's subsidiary in Italy and three other Italian companies, the arbitral tribunal constituted to resolve the matter has rendered in August 2016 a decision against Alstom by awarding €22 million of damage compensation to the other consortium members. Alstom's subsidiary strongly contests this decision and considers that it should be able to avoid its enforcement and thus prevent any damage compensation payment. On 30 November 2016, Alstom's subsidiary filed a motion in the Court of Appeals of Milan to obtain the
cancellation of the arbitral award. On 1 December 2016, Alstom's subsidiary filed an ex parte motion for injunctive relief to obtain the suspension of the arbitral award pending the outcome of the appeal proceedings, which was temporarily accepted by the Court. After a phase of hearings in contradictory proceedings on the request for suspension of the arbitral award, the Court of Appeal of Milan decided on 3 March 2017 in favor of Alstom's subsidiary by confirming definitively the suspension of this arbitration decision pending the outcome of the proceedings relating to the cancellation of such decision. The Court of Appeal of Milan ruled on the merits in March 2019 in favour of the Alstom's subsidiary and cancelled the arbitration award of August 2016 including the €22 million of damage compensation. The members of the consortium (excluding Alstom) appealed the decision of the Court of Appeal of Milan on 19 October 2019. On 27 November 2019 Alstom filed its defense and counter-appeal. The parties are still waiting for a decision on the admissibility of the recourse, to be given by the so-called "Filter Section" of the Supreme Court.
The Supreme Court considered admissible the recourse and on 25 July 2023 notified to the parties that the hearing to discuss the case will be held on 9 November 2023 by giving a deadline to 30 October 2023 for the parties to file their briefs.
On 17 March 2014, Bombardier Transportation South Africa (BTSA) entered into a locomotive supply agreement with Transnet for the supply of 240 electric locomotives (LSA). The LSA is part of Transnet's 1064 locomotive project concluded between Transnet and four Original Equipment Manufacturers including BTSA.
On 9 March 2021, Transnet and the Special Investigating Unit (SIU), alleging unlawfulness and irregularities in the procurement process and subsequent award of the 1064 locomotive project, launched review application proceedings in the High Court of South Africa (High Court) for, amongst other things, the review and setting aside of the respective LSA's concluded with the four Original Equipment Manufacturers including BTSA. The relief sought by Transnet as it relates to BTSA includes: (i) the review and setting aside of the LSA concluded between BTSA and Transnet on 17 March 2014; (ii) that Transnet be entitled to retain the locomotives delivered by BTSA; and (iii) that BTSA be ordered to make restitution to Transnet of the advance payments and profit and/or excess profit earned in the supply of the locomotives.
On 13 April 2021, the court case team ordered Transnet to provide a properly constituted record of decision (ROD), the ROD being a critical element of Transnet's review application, following the four Original Equipment Manufacturers respective complaints addressing the incompleteness of such ROD filed by Transnet. On 17 July 2021 Transnet submitted a revised ROD to the High Court the completeness of which was again challenged by Alstom (BTSA) end of August 2021.
In parallel, on 2 September 2021 two of the Original Equipment Manufacturers filed an interlocutory motion to dismiss in its entirety the review application, such motion being based on Transnet's and SIU's respective failure to bring such review application in due course. This interlocutory motion has been challenged by Transnet requesting the High Court, via an interlocutory application filed on 15 December 2021, to set it aside. The High Court dismissed the two Original Equipment Manufacturers' interlocutory motion on 12 April 2022. The two Original Equipment Manufacturers brought further procedural applications that remain to be ruled upon by the High Court prior to the setting of the date for the submission of the responding affidavits by the four Original Equipment Manufacturers.
These proceedings are at an early stage and the Group is unable, at this stage, to predict their consequences. These matters are also a subject of the investigation by the DOJ, Zondo Commission and the NPA as referenced above.
With respect to the acquisition of Bombardier Transportation ("BT"), completed on 29 January 2021, Alstom identified various breaches by Bombardier Inc. ("BI") of its obligations as Seller under the Memorandum of Understanding dated 17 February 2020 (amended and restated on 30 March 2020) and the Sale and Purchase Agreement dated 26 September 2020 (amended on 28 January 2021).
On 15 April 2022, Alstom filed a request for arbitration against BI with the International Chamber of Commerce (in accordance with the Parties' agreements). Alstom's claims against BI concern breaches of the interim covenants in force prior to completion, breaches of warranty, and claims related to the calculation of the final purchase price. Notably, Alstom contends that BI's actions prior to completion wrongfully increased the purchase price paid by Alstom and that BI's breaches of various obligations caused further losses to Alstom. On 24 June 2022, BI filed its answer to the request for arbitration, denying Alstom's claims and advancing counterclaims. As to the counterclaims specifically, BI alleges that Alstom attempted to minimise the price it would have to pay to BI at completion in breach of contractual and non-contractual obligations, which is denied by Alstom.
The arbitral tribunal was constituted by the International Chamber of Commerce on 26 August 2022. In October 2022, the tribunal established a procedural timetable leading to an evidentiary hearing in late 2025. On 3 March 2023, Alstom filed its full Statement of Claim. On 27 October 2023, BI filed its full Statement of Defence and Counterclaim. The parties will file additional submissions and evidence during 2024 and 2025, with an evidentiary hearing scheduled for late 2025.
Finally, it shall be noted that, by taking over Alstom's Energy Businesses in November 2015, General Electric undertook to assume all risks and liabilities exclusively or predominantly associated with said businesses and in a symmetrical way, Alstom undertook to keep all risks and liabilities associated with the non-transferred business. Crossindemnification for a duration of 30 years and asset reallocation ("wrong pocket") mechanisms have been established to ensure that, on the one hand, assets and liabilities associated with the Energy businesses being sold are indeed transferred to General Electric and on the other hand, assets and liabilities not associated with such businesses are borne by Alstom. As a result, the consequences of litigation matters that were on-going at the time of the sale and associated with these transferred activities are taken over by General Electric. Indemnity provisions protect Alstom in case of third-party claims directed at Alstom and relating to the transferred activities. For this reason and since Alstom no longer manages these litigation matters, Alstom is ceasing to include them in this section.
There are no other governmental, legal or arbitration procedures, including proceedings of which the Group is aware, and which are pending or threatening, which might have, or have had during the last twelve months, a significant impact on the financial situation or profitability of the Group.
There are no material changes in related-party transactions between 31 March 2023 and 30 September 2023.
On 12 October 2023, the credit rating agency Moody's Investors Service has decided to confirm Alstom's Baa3 longterm issuer rating. It has lowered its credit outlook to Negative from Stable.
On the 31 October 2023, the Group has signed a new €2.25 billion liquidity line with a 1st tier international bank as a further step to demonstrate the financial flexibility of Alstom. This facility is not subject to financial covenant and its maturity is October 2024 with two six-month extensions at borrowers' discretion.
Announcement on Tuesday, November 14 by Alstom management to the European staff representative body of a proposed savings plan to reduce overhead costs representing close to 10% of total S&A positions (around 1,500 FTE reduction).

Report of independent auditors on the half-year financial information
PricewaterhouseCoopers Audit 63, rue de Villiers 92200 Neuilly-sur-Seine
MAZARS 61, rue Henri Regnault 92075 Paris La Défense
This is a free translation into English of the Statutory Auditors' review report on the interim financial information issued in French and is provided solely for the convenience of English speaking users. This report includes information relating to the specific verification of information given in the Group's half-yearly management report. This report should be read in conjunction with, and construed in accordance with, French law and professional standards applicable in France.
To the Shareholders, ALSTOM SA 48 rue Albert Dhalenne 93400 Saint-Ouen-sur-Seine France
In compliance with the assignment entrusted to us by your Shareholder's Meeting and in accordance with the requirements of article L. 451-1-2 III of the French Monetary and Financial Code (Code monétaire et financier), we hereby report to you on:
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Board of Directors. Our role is to express a conclusion on these financial statements based on our review.
We conducted our review in accordance with professional standards applicable in France.
A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with professional standards applicable in France and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying condensed interim consolidated financial statements are not prepared, in all material respects, in
accordance with IAS 34, standard of the IFRSs as adopted by the European Union applicable to interim financial information.
We have also verified the information presented in the interim management report on the condensed interim consolidated financial statements subject to our review.
We have no matters to report as to its fair presentation and consistency with the condensed interim consolidated financial statements.
