PRESS RELEASE PARIS 16/05/2023
The Board of Directors, chaired by Martin Bouygues, met on 15 May 2023 to close off the financial statements for first-quarter 2023.
With regard to the financial information presented in this press release, the income statement includes the financial statements of Equans only for first-quarter 2023. Equans was acquired on 4 October 2022 and Equans' quarterly proforma financial statements are not available for 2022.

As each year, the Group's first-quarter results are not indicative of full-year performance, mainly due to the seasonal nature of business at Colas, and to a lesser extent, at Equans.
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.
1 Includes non-current charges of €19m at Bouygues Construction, of €4m at Colas, of €5m at Equans and of €5m at TF1; and non-current income of €9m at Bouygues Telecom.
2 Net debt/shareholders' equity.
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 its target of increasing current operating profit from activities (COPA) and current operating profit in 2023 compared with 2022.
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's confirms its 2023 guidance as follows:
In 2023, the TF1 group will cement its leadership position and maintain a broadly stable current operating margin of activities. The TF1 group will continue to generate cash flow in order to aim for a growing or stable dividend policy over the next few years.
As a reminder, Bouygues Energies & Services has been consolidated within Equans since the start of 2023. For easier comparison, the first-quarter 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-March 2023, the backlog in the construction businesses (Bouygues Construction excluding Bouygues Energies & Services, Bouygues Immobilier and Colas) rose 6% to €29.4 billion (up 7% at constant exchange rates and excluding principal disposals and acquisitions).
At €15.0 billion (up 8%), the backlog at Bouygues Construction (excluding Bouygues Energies & Services) offers good visibility on future activity. This growth was driven by International Building. In first-quarter 2023, Bouygues Construction saw a 93% increase in order intake relative to first-quarter 2022, lifted by the gain of several significant contracts, particularly outside France (the Abidjan metro for around €770 million, a hospital in the United Kingdom for around €330 million, and a hospital in Morocco for around €130 million), and also by the gain in France of two contracts for the Toulouse metro for around €350 million.
1 Free cash flow before cost of net debt, interest expense on lease obligations and tax paid.
In property market, customers remain in a wait-and-see mode, in both the residential and commercial segments, due to inflation and rising interest rates. Bouygues Immobilier decided to postpone the construction and marketing phases of certain projects, which further reduced new housing units for sale and reservations. As a consequence, Bouygues Immobilier's backlog was 20% lower than in first-quarter 2022.
Last, the backlog at Colas was €13.0 billion, up 8% year-on-year (up 10% at constant exchange rates and excluding principal disposals and acquisitions). It benefited from a 17% increase in the order intake versus firstquarter 2022 and a particularly strong order intake in international rail activities (notably the Abidjan metro, representing around €330 million).
The construction businesses reported sales of €5.2 billion in first-quarter 2023, up 5% year-on-year, driven by Colas and Bouygues Construction. Like-for-like and at constant exchange rates, sales increased also by 5%. Bouygues Construction's sales rose by 6%, lifted by a strong performance from International Building and Civil Works. Bouygues Immobilier's sales, if the share of co-promotions were included, would have declined by 15% (excluding the share of co-promotions, sales were down 17% versus first-quarter 2022 reflecting market conditions). Sales at Colas were partially impacted by inflation, increasing by 9%.
The current operating loss from activities in the construction businesses was €243 million, down €10 million year-on-year.
Bouygues Construction's COPA1 was stable over the period at €58 million. Amid a slow commercial and residential property market, Bouygues Immobilier's COPA, if the share of co-promotions were included, would be €7 million (excluding the share of co-promotions, it was €0 million). At Colas, current operating loss from activities continued to benefit from the effects of action plans implemented during 2022 to cope with inflation. In addition, Colas sold Branscome in the United States in first-quarter 2023 with a view to streamlining its business, which had a negative impact on COPA. Current operating loss from activities was €301 million in firstquarter 2023. As a reminder, Colas' first-quarter results are not indicative of half-year and full-year results, due to the seasonality of its activities.
Equans' figures include Bouygues Energies & Services with effect from January 2023. Figures for first-quarter 2022 comprise only Bouygues Energies & Services, as it contributed to Bouygues Construction. As a reminder, 2022 Equans' quarterly proforma financial data are not available.
First-quarter 2023 is therefore the first quarter that Bouygues Energies & Services is consolidated by Equans. The integration is going according to expectations, with an organisational structure now in place in the main countries and the Perform plan launched in most business units.
Equans' backlog at 31 December 2022, excluding Bouygues Energies & Services, was adjusted from €18.7 billion (figure reported on 23 February 2023) to €19.5 billion following the standardisation of the calculation methods used for multi-year contracts in Belgium. The backlog at Equans, including that of Bouygues Energies & Services for €6.5 billion, was €25.9 billion at 31 December 2022 (vs €25.2 billion reported on 23 February 2023).
The backlog at Equans at end-March 2023 was €26.7 billion, offering good visibility on future activity. It should also be noted that the underlying margin of the order intake improved, highlighting the first positive impacts of the Perform plan.
In first-quarter 2023, Equans recorded sales of €4.4 billion and current operating profit from activities of €98 million, representing a margin from activities (COPA margin) of 2.2%, in line notably with seasonality of business.
1 Current operating profit from activities.
The TF1 group reported sales of €480 million in first-quarter 2023, decreasing as anticipated (down 14% yearon-year and down 11% like-for-like and at constant exchange rates):
As a result of lower business, current operating profit from activities (COPA) was €40 million, down €21 million year-on-year. Change in COPA reflected the tight control over cost of programmes, which amounted to €201 million (down €19 million year-on-year), largely mitigating the decline in advertising revenue and further demonstrating the TF1 group's ability to adapt its costs while increasing its audience share1 on commercial targets. The lower level of business at Newen Studios and the expenses related to the digital acceleration plan notably weighed on quarterly profitability. Altogether, the COPA margin was 8.3%.
Bouygues Telecom continued expanding in both mobile and fixed segments during first-quarter 2023. At end-March 2023, mobile plan customers excluding MtoM totalled 15.2 million, thanks to the gain of 27,000 new customers during the quarter. In fixed, FTTH customers were 3.1 million at end-March 2023, thanks to 148,000 new adds during the quarter. The proportion of fixed customers subscribing to a FTTH plan continued to increase, reaching 67% versus 55% one year earlier. The fixed customer base was 4.7 million.
Sales billed to customers were €1.4 billion, up 6% versus first-quarter 2022, lifted by solid mobile and fixed customer bases and growth in ABPU2 (mobile ABPU rose €0.2 to €19.7 per customer per month, while fixed ABPU increased by €1.7 to €30.3 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 20% year-on-year, driven mainly by growth in built-to-suit sales. In total, the operator's sales increased 8% versus end-March 2022.
EBITDA after Leases rose €45 million year-on-year, driven by sales growth and tight control on costs. EBITDA after Leases margin continued improving, rising to 27.3% (up 2.0 points versus end-March 2022).
Current operating profit from activities (COPA) was €126 million, up €32 million year-on-year. Gross capital expenditure excluding frequencies was €522 million at end-March 2023, up slightly year-on-year, mainly related to continued network rollout investments.
1 33.2% among women under 50 who are purchasing-decision makers (+0.1 points year-on-year) and 29.9% among the 25-49 age group (+0.1 points yearon-year).
2 ABPU is no longer restated for the roaming impact. ABPU restated for roaming impact would be €19.9 up €0.2 year-on-year.
In first-quarter 2023, Bouygues renewed its medium- and long-term credit facilities as they expired, without financial covenants or rating clauses. In first-quarter 2023, Bouygues repaid a €700-million bond issue. At end-March 2023, the average maturity of the Group's bonds was 9.6 years, and the average coupon was 3.00% (average effective rate of 2.17%). 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.
