The outlook below is based on information known to date.
In an unstable environment marked by inflation, rising interest rates and currency volatility, Bouygues confirms that it is aiming for 2023 sales close to those of 2022, as well as an increase in its current operating profit from activities (COPA).
This outlook is based on 2022 proforma financial information that assumes the Equans acquisition was completed on 1 January 2022, namely sales of €54.4 billion and current operating profit from activities of €2,164 million.
In an unstable environment marked by inflation, rising interest rates and currency volatility, the Colas group has strong fundamentals and will continue to benefit from the positive impacts of the transformation plans that it has undertaken.
Colas confirms that its current operating profit from activities (COPA) is expected to increase in 2023 compared with 2022.
1 Includes non-current charges of €46m at Bouygues Construction, of €8m at Colas, of €19m at Equans, of €19m at TF1; and non-current income of €11m at Bouygues Telecom and of €1m at Bouygues SA.
2 Net debt/shareholders' equity.

In 2023, Equans is aiming for:
As it continues to grow its customer base, particularly in the fixed segment, and maintains its investments to boost its mobile network capacity, Bouygues Telecom confirms its 2023 guidance as follows:
The TF1 group maintains its outlook, with different dynamics within its segments:
TF1 group will further cement its leadership position and maintain a broadly stable current operating margin of activities in 2023. The TF1 group will continue to generate cash flow in order to aim for a growing or stable dividend policy over the coming years.
As a reminder, Bouygues Energies & Services has been consolidated within Equans since the start of 2023. For easier comparison, the first-half 2022 data for the construction businesses presented below have been restated for Bouygues Energies & Services, as it contributed to Bouygues Construction's figures.
At end-June 2023, the backlog in the construction businesses (Bouygues Construction excluding Bouygues Energies & Services, Bouygues Immobilier and Colas) rose 9% to €30.8 billion (up 10% at constant exchange rates and excluding principal disposals and acquisitions).
In first-half 2023, Bouygues Construction saw an 68% increase in order intake relative to first-half 2022, lifted by the gain of major contracts. In the second quarter, this chiefly consisted of the extension of the metro line MTRC 1201 in Hong Kong (for around €470 million), two data centres in Australia (for a total of around €350 million) and the Riviera Tower in Greece (for around €200 million). Order intake from the normal course of business also held up well. Bouygues Construction's backlog (excluding Bouygues Energies & Services) stood at €15.4 billion, up 12%, providing good visibility on future activity. This growth was driven by both Building and Civil Works. Within the Building activity, the international backlog rose sharply (up 29%) following the gain of
1 Free cash flow before cost of net debt, interest expense on lease obligations and income taxes paid.

several significant contracts in the past year, and the backlog in France was up by around 2%. The Civil Works backlog was up 7%.
In line with the previous quarters, Bouygues Immobilier has to contend with a challenging market environment, mainly related to the sharply higher interest rates. As such, residential property reservations were down 26% year-on-year, with the sharp drop in unit sales nonetheless mitigated by block sales in the second quarter. Commercial property sales were again weak as investors remained in wait-and-see mode. In this context, Bouygues Immobilier is therefore cautious about launching new projects. The backlog at Bouygues Immobilier was 21% lower than at end-June 2022.
Last, Colas benefited from a 12% increase in order intake versus first-half 2022. Major contracts were booked during the first six months, such as the Interstate 26 road rehabilitation contract in the United States (for around €110 million) and the contract for the modification of existing lines for the Old Oak Common station in Greater London (for around €215 million). The backlog at Colas was €14.1 billion, up 9% year-on-year (up 11% at constant exchange rates and excluding principal disposals and acquisitions), driven by Rail (up 21%) and, to a lesser extent, by Roads (up 5%).
The construction businesses reported sales of €12.2 billion in first-half 2023, up 3% year-on-year, driven by Colas and Bouygues Construction. Like-for-like and at constant exchange rates, sales increased by 4%. Bouygues Construction's sales rose by 5%, lifted mainly by a strong performance from International Building. Bouygues Immobilier's sales declined 14%1 versus first-half 2022, reflecting market conditions (including the share of copromotions, sales would have decreased 12%). Sales at Colas were up 4%, driven both by Rail (up 5%) and by Roads (up 4%) notably in EMEA, Canada and the United States.
The current operating loss from activities in the construction businesses was €7 million in first-half 2023, improving by €7 million year-on-year, and the COPA margin in the construction businesses was stable over the period at -0.1%. As a reminder, the first-half COPA and COPA margin of the construction businesses are not indicative of the full-year performance, due to the seasonality of Colas' activities.
In first-half 2023, Bouygues Construction's COPA declined by €6 million year-on-year to €120 million. The margin from activities was 2.5%, notably related to the non-linear progress of worksites. Against a backdrop of a sharp decline in sales, Bouygues Immobilier limited the decrease in its COPA2 , which amounted to €0.1 million (including the share of co-promotions, this figure would have been €15 million). The current operating loss from activities at Colas, which benefited from the ongoing positive effects of action plans implemented, was €127 million, improving €29 million versus first-half 2022.
Equans' figures include Bouygues Energies & Services with effect from January 2023. Figures for first-half 2022 comprise only Bouygues Energies & Services, as it contributed to Bouygues Construction. As a reminder, Equans' proforma first-half 2022 figures are not available.
The integration of Bouygues Energies & Services within Equans is going according to expectations, with an organisational structure now in place in the main countries. The Perform plan has been launched in most business units.

2 Excluding the share of co-promotions.

In line with the strategy outlined at the Capital Markets Day in February 2023, Equans is prioritising margins over volume growth, resulting in a continued selective approach to contracts. The backlog at Equans, including Bouygues Energies & Services, at end-June 2023 was €26.4 billion, up 2% on end-December 2022, offering good visibility on future activity. Order intake was a strong €9.5 billion, in a buoyant environment that included several contracts for data centres in Germany and the United Kingdom.
First-half 2023 sales were €9.1 billion, lifted by strong overall momentum, with €3.1 billion from France and €6 billion from international markets. Current operating profit from activities was €243 million, representing a margin from activities (COPA margin) of 2.7%. The second-quarter 2023 margin from activities improved versus first-quarter 2023, highlighting the seasonality of business and the first positive impacts of the Perform plan.
The TF1 group reported sales of € 1 billion in first-half 2023, decreasing as expected (down 13% year-on-year and down 9% like-for-like and at constant exchange rates):
The margin from activities in the first six months was 14.7%, making up some of the ground lost in the first quarter, helped by the solid performance from the Media segment, for which the COPA margin was 21.6% in second quarter, up 0.4 points relative to second-quarter 2022. This was indicative of TF1's very tight control over programme costs, which amounted to €404 million (down €37 million year-on-year), largely offsetting the decline in advertising revenue while confirming its leadership amongst commercial targets1 . Current operating profit from activities (COPA) was €152 million, down €40 million year-on-year.
Current operating profit from activities at Newen Studios was €6.0 million, resulting in a 4.5% margin from activities in first-half 2023, while the margin from activities was 10.4% in second-quarter 2023.
In first-half 2023, TF1 generated free cash flow after WCR of €155 million, equating to an increase of €34 million relative to first-half 2022.
The results of nPerf's fixed and WiFi surveys, released in July 2023, testify to the very high quality of Bouygues Telecom's fixed network and the efficiency of its devices. It was rated the No. 1 operator for WiFi for the fourth time in a row and became the No. 1 operator in the fixed segment across all technologies.
Bouygues Telecom continued expanding in both mobile and fixed segments during first-half 2023. At end-June 2023, mobile plan customers excluding MtoM totalled 15.3 million, thanks to the gain of 109,000 new customers in the first half, of which 82,000 in the second quarter. In fixed, FTTH customers were 3.3 million at end-June 2023, thanks to 270,000 new adds in the first six months, of which 122,000 in the second quarter. The proportion of fixed customers subscribing to a FTTH plan continued to increase, reaching 69% versus 58% one

year earlier. The fixed customer base was 4.8 million, which was 86,000 more than at end-December 2022 and of which 40,000 were added in the second quarter.
This performance is explained in particular by the ramp-up of FTTH roll-out. Bouygues Telecom now has over 32 million FTTH premises marketed and is on course to reach the target of 35 million FTTH premises by end-2026.
Sales billed to customers reflected this commercial momentum and reached €2.9 billion, up 6% versus first-half 2022, lifted by the strength of the mobile and fixed customer bases and solid ABPU1 (year-on-year, mobile ABPU has grown €0.3 to €19.7 per customer per month, while fixed ABPU has increased €1.8 to €30.5 per customer per month).
Sales from services rose 4% year-on-year, still held back by the decrease in sales from incoming traffic. Other sales increased 6% year-on-year, driven mainly by growth in built-to-suit sales. In total, the operator's sales increased 5% versus first-half 2022.
EBITDA after Leases rose €98 million year-on-year to €928 million, driven by sales growth and tight control on costs. The EBITDA after Leases margin continued increasing, up to 31.5% (up 2.1 points versus end-June 2022). Current operating profit from activities (COPA) was €366 million, up €57 million year-on-year.
Gross capital expenditure excluding frequencies was €857 million at end-June 2023, which was a similar level to first-half 2022.
In the first half of the year, Bouygues:

2 €308m plus statutory interest in relation to the legal dispute regarding smartphone plus mobile plan bundled offers.

4 Net debt/shareholders' equity.

At end-June 2023, the average maturity of the Group's bonds was 9.0 years, and the average coupon was 3.10% (average effective rate of 2.16%). The debt maturity schedule is evenly spread.
The long-term credit ratings assigned to the Group by Moody's and Standard & Poor's are: A3, stable outlook, and A-, negative outlook, respectively.
In June 2023, Bouygues carried out a capital increase of €150 million, inclusive of share premium, as part of the Bouygues Confiance no. 12 employee share ownership plan, which was reserved for the employees of the Group's French companies, including for the first time those at Equans. It was 2.25x oversubscribed, demonstrating the high level of employee loyalty and confidence in the Group. This transaction led to the creation of 6,845,564 Bouygues shares.
The dilutive impact was offset by the prior buyback and cancellation of shares in 2022.
At 30 June 2023, Bouygues' capital comprised 381,336,141 shares with a nominal value of €1 each (versus 374,486,777 shares at 31 December 2022).
In first-half 2023, the Group and all its business segments continued to work towards a more sustainable and responsible society:
The Group's business segments also showcased innovations at the forefront of the digital, environmental and energy transition, at the seventh Viva Technology event in Paris:
